The Cancelled Radio Guys
Chris and Costello - Things we couldn't do or say on the radio...Chris and Costello worked in big market radio together in another life, now they bring you a rather skewed version of what's happening...interviews, attitudes, and reviews all in an interesting and captivating way, somewhat irreverent.
That's what you should expect from an American radio icon (Chris Bailey) and a man who only has one name...and turned his back on Queen and country, Costello (He's from England).

Speaker 3I think she hung up on us.
Speaker 2Kate, kate, kate, kate. No, she's gone. What's she doing? The?
Speaker 4point is.
Speaker 2You know, we were two cancer survivors. We're fine, yeah, not mentally I mean, but you know, body wise are okay. She Princess can't be fine. I mean, just quit worrying so much, she's going to be fine. The only thing is she's only 42. Yeah, and that's the new trend.
Speaker 2So many people now under 50 are getting cancer and that's due to those plastic microbiotics that are in all kinds of stuff, now you know, and it's due to the diet. You know, because it used to be. I mean, cancer before is like 50 plus, now it's like 40s, 30s.
Speaker 3So yeah, that's bad and, yeah, it is a stuff in the junk. They've been feeding us all these years, whereas before you know your, your, your food was pretty much organic, without the word organic, and nobody gave it. Well, how many years has?
Speaker 2it been. You can't drink tap water, you got to drink bottled water. Bottled water what do you drink in bottled water? You dip it in that plastic crap which is going down to your lungs and into your body. So there you go. So rethink that. Pour it into a glass. Okay, you know, that's the plastic, plastic, plastic. You can't do it. Look what it's done to you.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, you're okay. Yeah Well, the yellow gritty did do, did do to me. Everything is now plastic.
Speaker 2Maybe she'll leave you. Maybe she'll leave William for you now, since you guys had so much.
Speaker 3Oh, there you go. Well, yeah, we've had so much experience you might need us, but I sincerely hope she gets better. I hope her father and all the King Curtsy Curtsy Bow.
Speaker 2He's got cancer. So we have that old damn. Families got cancer. But so what, we had it, we're fine, she'll be fine. I don't hear any shit from people going you're making fun of her. We're just just just cancer. You just deal with it. You do what you're supposed to do and you get on with it. You'll be fine. Right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, exactly. So, you can have. You can have to say you're like roll, roll, roll, roll roll In the English way.
Speaker 3This is a purely English thing. But, kate, when you get through this, you get a blue Peter badge. And that what a blue Peter badge, which is an English TV show for kids in the 50s and 60s and 70s. Did you say blue Peter or blue Peter? Blue Peter badge? The blue blue Peter is a flag they run up on naval ships to say we're getting ready to go. It's. It's a white with a blue square in the middle. It's a flag in the shape of a penis Nothing to do with penises at all, there's a.
Speaker 2there's a Peter flag flying up there in the wind. Look at that. Look at the size of that dick.
Speaker 3Well, I see that doesn't. In England the word Peter means Peter why?
Speaker 2It doesn't mean dick, everything, well, it's just. It's a name that you have in England, peter, and we do the same thing in America. This guy's named Dick Richard. You know it's, that's right. Yeah, dick Richard Richard, dick Dick, not, and I don't like anybody names a kid anymore, because they know what the unit implies. You know why would you do? That, the poor kid growing up. Hey Dick, yes, grown him. What is it? That's right, that's his name. No, that's his name. Oh, dick, okay, yeah, you're being a real dick, yeah, really so okay.
Speaker 2Richard, at least we, we the the Kate thing is solved, yeah, I mean there's all kinds of chaos and crap going on. We're all worried about what's going on with Kate, what she got, and everyone got all somber when she made the announcement too. I just, I guess somebody felt guilty from all the conspiracy theories I guess everyone felt kind of guilty. I guess I don't know.
Speaker 3Well, yeah, and but you know it's, it's very, very unfortunate, but there you go, you'll be fine, custel, you'll be fine. I'm not worried because I know the kind of the kind of care she's going to get is going to be even better than the care I got when um.
Speaker 2Well, crap, you got, you, you get. You've taken care of cancer down in Texas. Good guy yeah, I know, probably probably, probably I took you, I got made you put on a gown, put you in a barn and just you. Just had a look at you.
Speaker 3You got as crap as that man, why I tell you, uh, everything, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I. Everything I had done in Texas either. You know, f productions came back amazing in it.
Speaker 1But there you go.
Speaker 3Yep, yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 2Hey um.
Speaker 3Yeah, yep, as as we are talking about young women, right, we're gonna talk.
Speaker 2my Lyciris is that it. Oh, I'd love to. I know you would love to Do you know why she gets.
Speaker 3What does she win? Not an Oscar, she won a Grammy. She won a Grammy. They won a Grammy yeah, and I haven't heard a damn thing from her since. Not a, not a. Hey Costello, how you doing? And thanks for the Grammy nomination. Do I hear a shit?
Speaker 2She's like Jennifer Lopez, who has to somehow be in everyone's face in the news every day. My thing's pretty cool. She just I mean she. That's the only only your second appearance at a Grammy award. She lurks. Pick can choose his or moment. I like it, so I like it. I know you like the 11 year old Wiley which has got a six, but that's just, that's just you.
Speaker 3That's. That's not Miley, that's Hannah Montana. It's a whole different thing.
Speaker 2Now you get a poster over in the room, and there I do, yeah. Yes, and this book I'm not every, every night, I'm sorry, every night. Oh Hannah, oh Hannah.
Speaker 3Oh Hannah, oh Hannah, yo Hannah, yo Hannah.
Speaker 2Someone's got someone to come pick this man up, right.
Speaker 3I was looking on the internet, scrolling and trolling as I do, and I found something that you did 25 years ago. Ninety yeah, 1994. I bet you know what it is, do it.
Speaker 2Yes, it's really cool because it was with Selena, who a lot of people didn't even know. Yeah, you know, until I. Just she was shot. Then the movie came out with Jennifer Lopez. She was given ready to release her first English crossover CD, because all she was was to Hanoi Music, his band.
Speaker 2Neighborhood all through Mexico, like in Texas, new Mexico, a place of big Hispanic population. She was like superstar, but everyone else like who, what, what you know she didn't become known until after she was shot. I was talking to a couple of guys in Europe yesterday. They still know who she is. They had no idea Really. So that's interesting. Yes, so I had lucky. I got to. I said I need to get her on the show so to some of my Hispanic friends connections, we got her on. It was her first English speaking interview she's ever done and a really relaxed atmosphere and just and she just was got. She was beautiful, so only 22.
Speaker 3She was having fun and my interview with her was was just four months before she was killed it was just well, I just happened half a few little cuts from that and maybe, maybe you can enlighten us. She's fun.
Speaker 2Selena, would you like some coffee? Yes, you can't have any.
Speaker 3This is getting good. I thought that was hilarious when I heard that.
Speaker 2Yeah, she was picking on me, conch, she was. The thing was she was saying you know, I do other interviews. They have, they have a little food for me, they have coffee laid out, right, you know they and we didn't have crap and that's that's. When I asked her, I said, well, you know, she was kind of giving me crap, really, just going to the comic and like a scumbags and have anything she did and, as a matter of fact, and, and here we have, I feel like a dirt ball.
Speaker 1You know what you look like one. You know what? I'm just joking.
Speaker 2And I smell like one.
Speaker 3I'm just joking, I wait. Oh, lovely girl, lovely girl.
Speaker 2She was and that her dad put that up on YouTube and you know it's it. But he left out the early parts because he didn't, because he's very protective of his daughter and something. That's the way they were. If you watch the movie, you'll know that, but I, you know what's your. One of her claim to fame is is that she just had this huge ass. Ok, I mean, selena had a huge ass. I think that's why I don't look like she had a huge ass at the time too, and and that was part of that was part of the thing you had to get a big, freaking butt. You know the first thing I talked to her about, to us and she's wearing tight jeans, huge ass. And I said we have to. I'm a flip a penny, I'm going to see how far it bounces off your ass if you can hit the ceiling. You know, I don't know that was. Her dad didn't put that part up on YouTube.
Speaker 2I got that I can put that up no and also the fact that I was rummaging through her, through her purse, you know, because that's what you do. You're kind of rich now and you've been doing the circuit for a while, so let's see what this would Rich young Selena has in her purse and she goes. I'm a Walmart girl and sure enough she had two Walmart cards in there, a target thing, and just just about six bucks in cash and only one credit card.
Speaker 3And I said I particularly like the bit where she says I'm going to play it right now. It's a matter of just just play. Why phone the road?
Speaker 1It can be, it's a pie.
Speaker 2So when they get you jelly filled donuts, a jelly filled donut nothing but the best for our guests, right, and then in a dirty glass of water.
Speaker 1Again no, it's good, it's good water.
Speaker 3I just love the girl. She can be hell. Well, what kind of axon was she trying to pull there? It was good.
Celebrity Interview Banter
Speaker 2I think just just a torturous accent from her dad, because he made him. He made those kids being a bus on the road Years and years and years. Yeah, oh, I bet it can be. Yeah, the mom is homeschooling them, but you know, I guess he gave a tight bond. They're really close to the family and she's, she's. She had a very good head on the shoulders for 22. And she knew what the eyes that sound like. You really know what the future is going to be. You're crossing from the music and you're hitting my world, the top 40 world, the United States. It's going to be a big deal, especially if you become good, because this new single is great. I'm just letting you know what's going to be a lot different for you. So keep your head on like that.
Speaker 3Was that? Was that new single of bitty bum bum one or?
Speaker 2no, I was a Tahana single, that was. That was a big Hispanic song. Yeah, because that was pretty awful.
Speaker 3I've got one more here, I believe.
Speaker 1It was a correspondent school. I didn't go to Chicago.
Speaker 2Oh, something on the back of the matchbook thing.
Speaker 1Yeah, okay, same one. I went to hey, but it's over. But right now I'm going for my bachelor's degree. You are in business and, but it's. It's another school, hey that's.
Speaker 2That's good for you, because you do have a manager who manages your money.
Speaker 1I just make the major decisions.
Speaker 2Sessions yeah, all listeners were pissed at me because I kept asking about her money. You're going through her purse looking for money. You're asking her where's your money? Who's taking care of her money? I said what was it? It's you know. It's like asking where's Princess Kate? Where's your money, selena? We want to know.
Speaker 3Oh well, that was fun.
Speaker 2I think I've got read the comments that Rick kept asking about her money. You're talking about her money.
Speaker 1If you my stomach growled, I'm so sorry. Did you hear?
Speaker 5that.
Speaker 1Would you like to like a sausage biscuit or something? Well, it wouldn't be nice. You know, usually when I do interviews they have cookies or something for me. You hear that game.
Speaker 4You hear that game. I told you. I told you. Oh, you put it back on me.
Speaker 3I see, things haven't changed.
Speaker 2Oh, gabe. Gabe was my producer, he was, he was, he was. Guy. Who's teaching me how to speak Spanish to?
Speaker 3Oh, was he really.
Speaker 2That's a shitty teacher man. I gave Melissa the words I wanted to learn he goes what?
Speaker 3We don't have a word for that.
Speaker 2Oh, they do. I used to want to tell me what they were.
Speaker 3Oh, that's brilliant, that's brilliant, okay. Well, there you go. That was Bailey's early life, when he was known as CB. No, you know what?
Speaker 2It is. What is CB stand for? Chris Bailey, of course there was. I did not know it, and so I go down and do radio in Texas and apparently at an oldie station who gives a rot right they had there was a guy named Chris Payne and so I found out about that so I just got one day on the show I just want to. I understand is another Chris Bailey, Just so you know. He's the older, fat, untalented Chris Bailey on a freaking oldie station Okay.
Speaker 2I'm out here. I don't think we're going to have any confusion between me and him whatsoever. You know, and the guy went home and cried that night and he's all upset. His station manager called my manager going. Can you, can you have him apologize to him? He's all upset. You call him fat and untalented. Well, he is. He's fat and untalented. No, it just took it in.
Speaker 2And so they, they, they kind of forced me just to just the way to make amends. Just I couldn't use my name anymore. They had to do CBS. Are you kidding me? So in the contract they had, like uh, that I had, they had the right to to make me do that. I mean, I hated that that's.
Speaker 3That's ridiculous. See, of course it's ridiculous. They're stupid. I just like you, I think it's very funny too, but I knew you would yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 3It's a typical radio. It's like I think I mentioned last week or the week before they in Pittsburgh. They wanted to call me Simon for classy one. I want to say I'm the least same and you'll ever meet in your life.
Speaker 2Well, maybe they had a good insight, did they knew that in the future there was going to be a Simon Cowell, and so you could have been the first Simon. Well, that would have been. Well, I was.
Speaker 3Did you use it? Did you use Simon? I had to, I was told to and and say yeah this radio management mentality is so freaking stupid, isn't it? Well, I mean, you know, and, and then. So what I do is I go, hey, classy, one on one, you had to be awfully awfully in classy one on one, costello, here, and they go where's the Simon, you see?
Speaker 3And so, anyway, then they changed to WXXP, which was a new rocker, and of course that was something I knew about, and they were owned by the same person who owned WLIR in Long Island Long Island, I know that station, yeah.
Speaker 2You can have all kinds of fun. You can go. Simon says I hate my fricking name. Ok, I'm going to go back to Costello. Oh, that would have got me fired. But Simon says this station sucks. I hate playing this crap.
Speaker 3You know my next move was supposed to be to WLIR and there was a guy there called Larry the Duck. I think is on serious right now.
Speaker 2And he said this guy's lying.
Speaker 3He didn't do this. He didn't do that because we're good out that I worked for the police, which I had the rock group, rock group, ok, that's really how I came over here anyway. And he's lying, he's lying and so I didn't get the job. So every time I hear Larry.
Speaker 2He doesn't know. Sting Simon worked with the police, not this Costello guy.
Speaker 3I told you my, my, my Sting story, didn't I? Yes, you did, yes. Ok, I just want to say again it was a good one, and if I ever meet him, I'm going to ask him if you remember that, because I did save his life.
Speaker 2Well, you know, there's, there's, there's, you know, word that may, because in life that you choose now left the sphere in Vegas. The Eagles are going to do a run for a while. Oh, and then there's word that the police could be next, so that you'll have your chance, man, you know they won't be there in April, it'll be the Eagles, but you know, hey, but it just goes to show that the stupid radio management is what. I'm so glad we don't do that anymore, we get to do this, it's like. It's like, yes, you pay me all this money to come here and I get my name built up as Chris Bay and you're going to make me change it to say Bay. I mean, it's just like a big and CB radio. And you know I broke one, I was my freaking normal.
Speaker 3But you know, you know what CB stands for. I mean what everybody thought it was Complete bastard.
Speaker 2Well, no wonder they gave it to me.
Speaker 3Exactly Fitted. Perfectly, you bastard.
Speaker 2I had a. You watch it, Simon. Ok, buddy.
Speaker 3I had. I had a friend who sadly no longer with us, in Vegas and he was a hell of a character. Where'd you go? And? And unfortunately well, unfortunately, like I said, he's no longer with us.
Speaker 2He had a stroke, so I thought you may have moved out of town or something.
Speaker 3No, no, well, you kind of in more ways than one, and he was always trying to do an English accent and I said, well, the thing, people call each other bastard in England as a form of respect, you see. So every time I'd see him we'd be in a ballroom and I go, and I'd walk into the ballroom, go, bastard, how are you, hey, bastard. And of course eventually he thought it was funny, which he was. It is funny.
Speaker 2So my favorite, though. I went to my first time going to England and he's like you know, maybe take in a bar of fag, what? Oh, yeah, yeah, I did. I said, look, I saw my gay. Ok, no, you're not fag, give me smoke, give me fag.
Speaker 3You know, I had the reverse problem when I went to California For the first time in Santa Monica walked into our club 20 fags please. And the guy who was a guy, couldn't be more gay standing behind the counter he goes oh wow, what energy. Let me see yeah.
Speaker 1Let me make some phone calls from my little black book and I just uh what that's going to cost you some money.
Speaker 220 fags, yeah. Oh, this guy's got some deep pockets, man, and some deep.
Speaker 3something else is yeah, I guess they still do that. They still call cigarettes fags, as far as I know. I think so yeah.
Speaker 2So, now that you're vaping over there, what do they call vaping? Is it like a vape bag, or I don't?
Speaker 3Bagged vape. I don't know if they haven't banned those over there yet. They should Figured. Are vaping, vaping wine, cigarettes.
Speaker 1I didn't smoke that I am talking to cancer.
Speaker 2That's is. That is that where you can't became promise and smoking.
Speaker 3My, I don't think so, not where it was. Don't smoke out of that end.
Speaker 2He won't smoke out of your ass. That's what they say. Maybe that's what it was.
Speaker 4I don't know.
Speaker 3I don't know what caused it. I don't know.
Speaker 2Look at that the fags coming out of his ass. Look at that. There you go he's doing. He says Simon's doing gay porn again, oh there you go. That's what it was, oh my goodness me, the fags starring Simon from England. Simon, you're piecing it all together. I'll fix it together.
Speaker 3Yes, I'll make that. Well, I mean, that was after 102. And then I got. I wish I could have gone to LIR.
Speaker 2But you know I actually I tried for a job there once too. I maybe I think it was like early on, I don't think I was ready yet, but I gave it a shot anyway. It was a big fun play. You know you're getting in New York City to get Long Island. You're next to it and next week would be decent If we could go from Long Island to New York. That was my thought.
Speaker 3Uh-huh, but the thing that I mean, it was just, it was a little almost low-powered station. It just it was owned by a guy called Elton Spitzer who was an asshole. He really, oh, did you talk?
Speaker 2to Elton.
Speaker 3Well, yeah, because he'd come into the station, because Classy 101 was his new project and it just, it just fell flat on his face. Well, it would. And Pittsburgh is a blue-collar town and you're telling everybody to be classy, and no, and every, and he'd say to us every time you go out, do you have to wear a tuxedo? What oh?
Speaker 2in Pittsburgh. Yes, jesus.
Speaker 3I know.
Speaker 2I mean like that thing before San Diego happened. Stay, stay, classy Pittsburgh. Well, pittsburgh's not classy, no, it's. It can't be, it never was, it never will be.
Speaker 3Oh, yeah, and I mean the tuxes were nice and everything, but I mean, oh, and if you're going to get your haircut, you've got to spend at least 40 bucks on it, which back then was a hell of a lot of money. I wasn't paid shit in that place. I ended up doing mornings there. I ended up I was on air when the Challenger exploded. And what'd you do? Well, I went to AP immediately and just left it on. And then then we yeah, it's like oh shit. And then we did a minute silence. And then the PD who I couldn't stop I can even look at the guy. He was such a it just wasn't a good fit. Let me just. He was just, oh God, he was annoying. And so he said I'm going to do a minute silence. It's too late. I did.
Speaker 2Oh, what I did. I took the Bette Midler song, went beneath my wings, oh yeah. Then I took audio from the lift off and audio they talked about explosion. Then the it was Reagan saying that they, they, they reached up to the sky and touched the hand of God. At the end, oh, and we played that thing. It wasn't a freaking dry out and it was a brief tonsure request, so, but it's too bad. We couldn't, you know, then there was no, no posting and streaming, because that would have been pretty big on so called yeah, you could have got sued nicely.
Speaker 2Bette, what's wrong with it? You know it's a little Jewish lady, it's a hey, get in the base. I got someone named me Joey, that's good, but if I could have posted that, how big that would have been. Oh God, I can imagine. Yeah, it'd be huge, because people I was part of it like a radio network sharing stuff. So, and I and I get so many requests from other morning shows across the country that I've been making copies and sending out, singing out, singing out just played all over the place. Though what did I get for it? Just any recognition. Man, not a damn thing. Not a damn thing. Just the fact that I put it together and I sent it out to like 50 radio stations. Then they requested it, they heard it and went I want that, I want that. Can you please send that to me? Sure, I never got a request from Simon, though. Simon just said I'll just talk about AP and take a piss.
Speaker 3Well, it was the most intelligent thing I could think of doing. And so you know, yesterday morning show Simon Castello and Petrolman Penny yeah, ooh, ooh, big disaster. Let me flip on the AP. But if you'd listened to the AP there, I mean they would say and that's what people want it. And I mean I, you know if they've wanted more information. It's like you know, you can't believe in it's being repeated and repeated, and repeated.
Speaker 2Yeah, well, I was on the air when Elvis died, oh you're not that old.
Speaker 2A common acquaintance that we know. I was just uh, jazz, those jazz, yeah, and uh, so I, this thing comes over, I'm skin. I said, okay, I'll be serious. I got to read this as a big deal here and I and I look up and there he's got his pants dropped, you know. So I'm laughing through Elvis' dying and people call him you don't like Elvis, you're bad, what the hell. So damn funny. Elvis just died, a king, I guess that means that job. I. I heard he's out of there. I said, oh, I'll go, I'll go find Simon, we'll do a morning show.
Speaker 3So there you go. That's, that's what we'll do.
Speaker 2That's what we will do. I speak speaking of, like you said, boston. Yes, how's our Joe Rogan thing going Well?
Speaker 5let me see Hi Joe Rogan model here. Now let's see you as the balls.
Speaker 3Joe Rogan in South corner.
Speaker 2Guys, you little speaking steroidal ball.
Speaker 3He doesn't like you. He doesn't like you. He doesn't like you. Oh, he doesn't like me much either you know, that's okay. Fat looking little heap of dung which you might notice, ladies and gentlemen, that Chris Bailey doesn't like Joe Rogan.
Speaker 2So I thought I don't, you know, I just I you hate it Spies. Well, I'm not a big fan of UFC fighting stuff. Yet Two guys in there and a couple of they swing a couple of punches that wind up humping each other in the cage and everybody goes nuts. And that's where he, you know, made a big, bigger name for himself because he was like the announcer, him and Dana White the guy owns UFC. They looked the same, they're both bald, you know. I just don't think that they needed steroids like that.
Speaker 3So I thought every every week that you know we, we could, we could do this. You would start just like this Chris.
Speaker 5Bailey, your wanker. You suck. Fake podcast, washed up DJ and that Costello fake, fake, feck and fake Englishman. Hi Joe Rogan model here. Now let's see who has the balls.
Speaker 2He knew you were Simon.
Speaker 3Got to get my money's worth. Yeah, so we're in the corner and and and now I have insulted him, it is, it's your turn. You don't have to explain. I didn't. I didn't insult him enough already? I don't think not. Not for 26 seconds worth of introduction. No, Was it 20?
Speaker 2Okay, I mean it was a little longer than I, than we'd expected, but anyway, Well, you're short man, no talent syndrome guy with the ingrown dick and the steroidal hair loss because you took the roids illegally. Why did it get you? Well, it got you. I would give five foot two. Is that it? Come on, stand up and talk to me. Oh, you are, I'm sorry. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh whack.
Speaker 3Oh okay, that's good, that's good. I'll be packaging that up and sending it to him here this week and please do.
Speaker 2Okay, send it to him via Spotify. Okay, there you go. It's like if we hear something from somebody else who's doing another show podcast, we are big enough to say you know, those guys are pretty good, I like what they're doing, that's pretty good. But we both listen to the Joe Rogan experience. It means you know anybody on the stage is and we've tried it a few times I just I don't get it.
Speaker 3I can't honestly. I think, I think he's done his time. You know what I mean, because, I'm sorry, I didn't find anything interesting in in what he's saying at all. I never, never heard of him before. I honestly fell asleep after Tim.
Speaker 2Did you? Did you ever hear an episode when he had a guest? Did a guest make it better?
Speaker 3Yeah, Well, yes, it was Like I said, they had this guy who apparently invented AI, and um was he good Was he born, no he was awful. He was terrible, terribly boring. Was he awful, he was, awful, he was, he was, he was.
Speaker 2So, um Well, just in fairness, before we get to the insults of him, next week we'll we'll try to show one more time. You try one, I'll try one, let's see what we find. If you find any improvement whatsoever I don't think there will be I think I'll listen to another. Another podcast that has decent entertainment value, that'd be the the new Heights podcast with the Kelsey brother. Pretty funny, oh, they are. Yeah, it's just funny. Yeah, oh, okay.
Speaker 3Well, I haven't listened to you. Maybe I'll tell you all about all the stuff.
Speaker 2Football seasons over. They have other things that they cover, of course. You know we know one's eating, so on and so on. They, they still got stuff to cover. So they just said, generally are pretty. They can be pretty funny guys and they they've done some pretty funny story though. So that would be one. I was just that one's really successful which they won new podcasts at the year last year. I can see that because it's pretty good and he got a lot of attention because of the the Taylor Swift thing. All the Swifties started listening to it. But it's decent, so that one will go. If that one's doing well, it makes sense because they're the guys are good. So how far they carry it We'll see, but right now they're, they're hot and it's good. The other guy, the little little steroid bald, mr Clayne Midget, it's just it's just not good, Just not going to happen for you.
Speaker 3How do you really?
Speaker 2feel Right. Simon, yeah, if you had Simon, simon Cowell, and but before that, just remember there was, there was Simon Costello, yes, yeah, I mean the whole premise of that was was a good idea, but not in Pittsburgh, Jesus.
Speaker 3Oh yeah, anyway, never mind, never mind.
Speaker 2Well, since you've been there, they've redone Pittsburgh. Over there, they've redone the downtown. It's supposed to be a cool, effective place to live down there, oh really. And then people redo those old houses and now they've opened a bunch of new, new shops and restaurants, all the local type stuff. So it's a new because a lot of the blue, blue collar jobs have dried up. So there's, there's, there's tech jobs there. Now, oh, okay, man, it's changed, it looks the same, but it just didn't make up with. The people have changed. Now you got to get a combination of the older blue collar stuff we're getting older and all the all the new wave coming in, you know the millennials and generation Z, who are all tech workers.
Speaker 3Yep, Yep. And so there goes the grime and the dirt of Pittsburgh. Blue collar, the one we saw. Steel and glass, wasn't it Certainly steel?
Speaker 2Yeah, it's the same, downtown the same, but all he built new is like the new football field, the new baseball field. That's the important things.
Speaker 3Sports. Yeah, yeah, the, the Sports baby. I remember going across the fifth street bridge and you could look through. It was so dilapidated. Yeah, there were holes in there and you could see the river, the three. What was that? The Canar River.
Speaker 2Yeah, If you come in from the West Virginia side, he goes to the mountain and I'll say, boom, there's a city that's pretty neat. Then you go into the city and see what it's made of and you go oh crap. So, yes, it's supposed to be changed now and so if you look at the history board, you are in Columbia, south Carolina. What a hell is he there? And it's just, it's like see how it's improved over the years, let's see. Oh well, it hasn't Okay. So you know what you know it's going backwards.
Speaker 3You know what's going to happen and it's already happening, according to the news Is this place is getting next place to get really gentrified. Because they said we've got a hell of a lot of people moving from California and from the West. They're all coming out here now and here we go again. You know I end up moving somewhere. Everybody follows me. I had to put up with the shit and they get all the gravy, but that's okay because I'll move on. That's it.
Speaker 2Nobody's following you to Columbia, by God.
Speaker 3South Carolina. I'll tell you what, my friend. They are building like little beavers out here. They believe it's happening anyway. I mean, I would be surprised once if they came and lived here for a season. I think they probably changed their minds.
Speaker 2If you were talking about Charleston I'd go yeah, you're right, because that's the, of course Maybe down Hilton Head, keoh Island and stuff. Yeah, I agree, but Columbia.
Speaker 3Yeah, well, it's funny, everybody says that, and with the occasion of one or two oh actually, let's just wind this back a little bit for a second. It just reminded me. You know, I was buying some clothes last weekend and we were talking about podcasts and things like that, and I said, oh yeah, we're doing a Selena thing next week, you know, and explained a bit about it. It's just is that woman still in jail? I go the one who killed her. I said yes, as far as I know, she says we'll get her when she comes out. I said we'll get her. Oh yeah, oh yeah. She said there's plenty of us out here and we're organized to go.
Speaker 2Wow, she's not getting out for one. And then Hulu and Nickelodeon together did a special and they interviewed her in jail and let her tell her side of the story. People were freaking furious. I mean the family, all of her fans go. Why would you give that bitch the time of day? And she's I mean you know and who? I didn't even want to watch that. I just heard a snippet that she said it was an accident. Yeah right, I was the innocent one. I didn't steal the fan club money and she was hot in here. She was trying to grab the gun and whatever, it was an accident.
Speaker 3Oh shit.
Speaker 2No one bought that at all. I just I can't believe they gave her like a two night special of giving her time.
Speaker 3It just really sucked. I did not. I did not watch it for kind of like obvious reasons, because I didn't know it was on.
Speaker 2But there you go, the question of the day is how do we feel about terrorist terrorist attacking Russia? Anybody upset Anybody in the back.
Speaker 3There it's ISIS.
Speaker 2It's ISIS. Yeah, that's what I mean. Anybody upset ISIS attack and killed a bunch of Russians?
Speaker 3No, I don't.
Speaker 2Well, unfortunately Nobody heartbroken.
Speaker 3No, I don't think so.
Speaker 2I don't think anybody gives a shit. It may feel bad, maybe about two seconds, that's it.
Speaker 3That's it, we're over it. We're over it. Sorry Russia, that's what. I thought, yeah, Well, I mean for anybody who gets killed. That way it's, it's. I saw footage of somebody. They were in a big auditorium and most of the people, I guess, had got out and there's a kind of machine gun.
Speaker 2It's just spraying the place and then, whoever it was, was like they were like four or five of them and they escaped. They didn't even catch them. I mean because they're, I guess they're, they're not. They didn't ever expect that would happen in Russia. Maybe is that why they did it, because it's probably easier target now than doing the United States. What does ISIS have against Russia? You know, we know they hate us. You know they hate us Americans.
Speaker 3I'm trying to think why, in the sociopolitical, who do you know what sits of the world? Well, why would they?
Speaker 2Wait a minute wait a minute.
Speaker 3They would because Russia invaded Afghanistan before America did Not a long time ago, and they get their ass kicked.
Speaker 1They don't?
Speaker 3you see, they don't care, though. I mean in the history of Afghanistan around there and about every nation in the world that had some kind of empire, tried to get Afghanistan, and it never, ever ended up happily Never. So it never works.
Speaker 2Just leave them alone. You can't beat them Exactly, you can't find them in stuff, terrain and they just and they beat everybody. They just wear you down.
Speaker 3So that is why they'd be pissed off at Russia. It's like, oh well, you know, now's a good time to do it as any. I suppose you know they'll blame Israel, or they'll blame Ukraine or something you know, and sure enough they did.
Speaker 2Well, this week, this week's Doke Award goes to ISIS said Okay.
Speaker 3Doke Award. Oh, you catch me on, doke-ified. Hit the squeal, got to go, oh really. Oh, you do. All right, I'll hit the squeal.
Speaker 2Well, that's it for Chris and Costello.
Speaker 3Doke and his mother. Oh, that was me, but funny, yeah. Well, I'll tell you what these two bunnies are not going to come and see you this year. So they're because you were rude.
Speaker 2And the final word of the show is, this week, ketchup, ketchup.
Speaker 5Cancer, oh cancer, oh, not ketchup. Ketchup will give you cancer.
Speaker 3Yes, it will Okay, so I'm going to go to the next one. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay Okay.
