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).

Video Ventures and Trump-Stamped Scriptures: Diving into Podcasting Perils, Cosmetic Quirks, and the Melody of Genres
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Strap in for a raucous ride through satire and sincerity as we conjure up an alternate reality where Donald Trump peddles Bibles with a twist only he could trademark. From there, we share personal stories of my past discomfort with being on camera, reminding us all that what glitters on screen often stems from off-screen jitters. We also get real about the paradox of finding happiness in simple pleasures while still navigating the complex landscape of modern cosmetic expectations.
And just when you think you've heard it all, we crank up the volume on our conversation about the ever-evolving music industry. Imagine Beyoncé twanging it up in the world of country music, inviting both applause and raised eyebrows. We dissect the fusion of genres, celebrate diversity in musical expression, and mull over the high-stakes game of speeding tickets and tinted windows. As we wrap up, join us for a candid heart-to-heart on the bold move to video content and its potential to shake up the airwaves on platforms like YouTube and TikTok. You're in for a treat that's as unpredictable as it is entertaining.

Speaker 1Hi, chris, it's Costello.
Speaker 3We're breaking new ground today. We've been doing the Chris and Costello original Cancel Radio guys for a long time now, but this is the first time you time you're gonna do video. You gotta get some video. We are doing video how?

Speaker 3no, I just, I'm just looking, I'm going, okay, a little botox here, like I said we'll take care of that. He's there. He's putting the unknown podcaster bag on his head.
Speaker 1Can you still hear me?
Speaker 3It does give you more color. I was going to say it's been a long winter. You, sir, need some sun.
Speaker 1Oh, God, do I ever? I'm whiter than white, but the weather's good enough.
Speaker 3in South Carolina, you should be out there sunning yourself today with your neighbor. I should be, but I'm here doing this instead. If he can catch up to his skin tone.
Speaker 1You know what? Look at this. I bet you can't see this, but maybe you can. No, you can't.
Speaker 3See that little bit of orange. What?
Speaker 1can't see that little bit of orange. What is that thing? There it is. Oh, look at that. What is that? That? That is, that is my, my one and only tattoo, which is a buddhist chant, which is which means it means what go get a tan. Um, I'm money body on, which means happiness without stuff happiness without stuff.
Speaker 3Tell me, it doesn't sound like a Buddhist would say that. And you hike four days to see me and my advice to you is may you have happiness without stuff stuff.
Speaker 1Exactly, that is exactly it. But my point to showing you that was that I had enough of color that you couldn't see that.
Speaker 3What you need, though, if you want to show us some stuff, now that we can see you is lift up your shirt and show us that big scar you got from your surgery.
Speaker 1You know what? Do you know what? It's not that big. It's very unimpressive, Chris, really.
Speaker 3And no, so it goes. Does it go straight down from the it goes from like here right down. All the way down to your belly button.
Speaker 1Not quite Nearly, but I was in Trader Joe's the other day right and I was talking to this guy. He said, yeah, yeah, I had a heart attack eight years ago or so and he rips open his chest to show his skull. It was hilarious, this could only happen there. And he's got this whacking great scar right the way down. I'm going damn.
Speaker 3I got a piece of spaghetti. It used to be. They didn't really care. Their job was just, you didn't have a cosmetic guy. They just closed it up and you stretch back, you keloid it all that crappy stuff, so it was ugly. But now anything you have has got to be. Don't leave me a big scar, make it pretty.
Speaker 1So obviously you got one of the little pretty scars. Right, yeah, very pretty. It was all stuck together with glue and sticky tape.
Speaker 3No, no, all over South Carolina with your shirt off, but no worries Showing off the Costello physique.
Speaker 1Woo-hoo.
Speaker 3No, go out and scare the women and children. It's really simple. No, women and children yeah.
Speaker 2What is that? Have you got?
Speaker 3your car back. Yet man Is your car back, no.
Speaker 1Collin's been in the shopping house, been been over a month. Right, let's see here. Uh, it'd be getting on for a month, yeah, so what the hell you're driving? I don't know, man, if they've got bits they can't put on or or something, what?
Speaker 3are you driving in the in the interim? What are you driving? You get this cool two-seater mercedes hard top convertible Probably the coolest car in South Carolina and there it sits in the shop like Doc Hollywood. They're going. We've got to get the part from out of state.
Speaker 1Yes, it is. It's sitting there sadly, but it's been fixed up. It'll be better than when I took it in there. It better be. That's what Doc Hollywood does.
Speaker 3Doc Hollywood does that, just like you in South Carolinaolina, waiting for his car to be fixed. What are you driving? What's your loaner? What are you driving?
Speaker 1oh, it's um a kia soul with blacked out windows. It's black with blacked out windows what a crap trade-off you got.
Speaker 3You did mercedes, or drive this kia in the interim till I get your mercedes. That's not too cool. Are you a Mercedes dealer?
Speaker 1They took it to the Mercedes dealer and they charged so much to do this one particular job. They just took it back and said we'll do it.
Speaker 3And in return you get a Kia. I'd be raising some holy hell right there.
Speaker 1I don't care, I'm taking a trade at Jones hope in hell right there. I don't care, I'm taking a train to Jonson back right now.
Speaker 2How exciting is that? Yeah?
Speaker 1It's my life exactly. You're lucky, you caught me in a conscious moment. Anyway, thanks to your good connections though.
Trump's Brutal Honesty and Vegas Demolition
Speaker 3Anyway, we have a really special thing today and it's due to Costello's connections. He used to be best buds with Eric Trump and they were like Tim and Eric Trump were like this, well, maybe more like that, but we have some exclusive audio man because, you know, trump had to give up his fee yesterday. What $175 million for? Just so he can appeal the case. They dropped that down to like $450 million. It's still $175 million. He paid it yesterday. He's a little bit cash poor. Right now he's selling Bibles, which is like he hadn't even read one line of a.
Speaker 3Bible. He's telling Bibles.
Speaker 1I don't remember a few times I've ever looked at a Bible, but I don't remember the Apostle Eric, do you? I don't remember him being in there. He's not getting in there.
Speaker 3If you look at the painting, you'll see just a little bit of his nose sticking out in the painting of the Apostles. But the first line of the Bible for Trump, it says thou shalt put this down and don't even attempt to read this. He's got a new barrage coming out and what he's trying to do because the race is kind of tight right now he wants to be more truthful in his advertising, because he thinks he's always truthful anyway, but 90% of what he says is just an outlier bullshit. It's a lie. So in this new radio campaign, the audio campaign for radio, tv, social media, everything, it's the new honest Trump. And we got the premier audio in advance for the new ad. Are you ready, man? Would you like to hear it? I'd love to hear it. Let's go.
Speaker 2This is a.
Speaker 3Christian Costello exclusive, by the way. Okay, let's go.
Speaker 2I'm AI, donald Trump, and I think my supporters are nothing but inbred, white and white. If you are one of my supporters, you are among the stupidest motherfuckers on Earth. Only a brain-damaged trailer-dwelling redneck. Yeah, because it just goes to show that a huge percentage of America is made up of fucking idiots. Yeah, those hopelessly gullible morons would still support me after 91 felony indictments. If you're still supporting me after January 6th, stormy Daniels, the Trump University fraud, the Trump mortgage scam, my serial life cheating, the Access Hollywood tape, my association with Jeffrey Epstein, my racism, my casino bank, my failed airline, my yacht being possessed, my failed football team and all my many, many crimes. You're an irredeemably brain-dead idiot with shit brains and a rotten and blackened heart. You are a waste of oxygen that a decent person could be breathing. But if you want to vote for the country, go right ahead. You're too stupid to matter. We'll laugh at everything you own and send you to a death camp, you stupid piece of shit. Well, it saves me from saying it.
Speaker 3Thank you, Donald. It's the first time that I ever recall he was totally honest. Did he totally Really Didn't tell him all that? You know what, don't play that it will not make a frigging dent whatsoever in his loyal.
Speaker 1We might we might have lost a listener or two, maybe a friend. I tell you what, though?
Speaker 3you know, you know in his own truth there. Okay, so why would we lose listeners? Because, playing what he says, he the first time. He just let it open and be on. Maybe it was an outtake. He's going what you released, that they got a copy of that, holy crap. But he's always felt that way about his followers anyway, and they're still following him Like yes sir, yes sir. Whatever you say, sir, we're with you.
Speaker 1But you know, rather than you subscribe to him, you can subscribe to us. Did you know that?
Speaker 3Well, that would be better than Truth Social, which lost a billion dollars yesterday. When they figured it out Really, I thought it was yeah, everyone, they put it up for public. Everyone's buying it. It went down a billion bucks already, so that will not happen with us. So what do they do To?
Speaker 1subscribe. No, it's really easy. You just go to christencostellocom and you'll see it right there Subscribe, subscribe. It says and I can spell it for you if you like, but you'll see it there. Push the button, would you spell it for me? Donations start like $3. Come on, it costs money to have Donald.
Speaker 3It does. To get secret audio like that we just have to steal, that I know. We have to pay the person who stole that and got that to us.
Speaker 1I also had to take that lovely mobile all the way to Charlotte to get it, you know money doesn't grow on trees, you know.
Speaker 3If you want the high-quality entertainment that we give you and secret audio that we get to play for you exclusively, please subscribe. And how do they do it in Costello?
Speaker 1They go to Chrisand and costellocom and uh, you know, with this video thing it's all going to change in a while anyway. But you know we've been doing this for a bit, so I don't feel bad about it.
Speaker 3Really I don't about what's being on video no asking people for three dollars you don't like being on video?
Speaker 1I don't like I never did.
Speaker 3I can tell you seem different today because you're on video. You're just not being yourself. Just relax, forget the cameras on, don't look at yourself.
Speaker 2I was going to say look at me, but that's even worse, Okay look at the wall, look over your shoulder.
Speaker 1Well, I have to look at the computer screen anyway when I when I'm doing other things. I am so sorry. I thought I was being, you know, ultra cool that. No, I never did. I. I used to have a tv show called wired foreplay long time ago, and that's what wired for exactly was the idea. I had michael jackson uh, look like on it one time and we built it up. And built it up, and this guy, he was in West Virginia and he was a redhead. Anyway, he did a really good job. He looked very much like Michael Jackson and so you know I'd be going on about it and I had him just sitting off to the corner. You could just see him in frame. And at the end of the show I just said yeah, michael, pretty good show, wasn't it? And he goes yes, and that was it Done. And you should have seen the letters and phone calls we got. Oh my they didn't like you.
Speaker 1They loved it. They loved it. They really thought it was Michael Jackson.
Speaker 3They had the guy on who does the Michael Jackson show in Vegas because he's at the Tropicanaicana, which is the last day they closed it today and getting ready the big demolition is going to be in the fall to make room for the baseball stadium.
Speaker 3So he's going, he's going, he's where you're moving, but he, he looks just like him and then he spoke right and it killed the whole thing. They go. So where's your last show? Is the travel, where are you moving your show to? Uh, moving to sahara? Michael jackson never talked like that, but it's going. When he does the show he sings at the higher pitch but but he talks like he said. He said, obviously he doesn't talk during the show. Yeah, today's the last day to drop a cannon. Man goes bye-bye and then we'll get the big demolition date sometime in the fall, which is a really cool thing to watch when they, you know, tear down one of those classic hotels and it's been a while, it's been like 30 years since they had one.
Speaker 1So it's time for them to go. Yeah, I think the last one I saw was the di.
Speaker 3I mean, I've seen all the I was a late 90s, believe it or not yeah, so they haven't had to go, but they're gonna going to do another one, so it's going to be pretty cool. When we get the date, we'll let you know. We'll all meet. We'll broadcast live from the demo in.
Speaker 1Vegas. We could do that. We are going to be in Vegas coming up, as a matter of fact, talking of which.
Speaker 3Nothing to do with podcasting anymore, thank goodness. Because they're regulated, the National Association of Broadcasters, those are the FCC who we don't have to freaking mess with Hate. You you know what.
Speaker 1Hate them. They might actually have those new Shure microphones there, the S7.
Speaker 2Oh well, we'll take a look Okay.
Speaker 1Oh, that shut you down in a heartbeat.
Speaker 3I was just saying If something can make this sound better, then I'll buy that. Okay, so?
Speaker 1Oh, I agree, yes indeed. Well, get into it. You're going to get right into it.
Speaker 3You thought that us playing this Trump audio from his upcoming campaign ads was going to cost us a few listeners.
Speaker 2Well, should we lose some more? You ready Our favorite person? I don't know. Give me a moment to be ready.
Speaker 1What am I going to be ready with this time?
Speaker 3It's Lizzo time, baby, it's Lizzo time. Because of your sexist cruelty. She goes. I quit. She made two appearances. She made an appearance at the Grammys and she sang at the big fundraiser in New York City where Obama was there, clinton was there and, of course, President Biden was there. They raised like $26 million in one night and she sang that night and that was it?
Speaker 3I've always said, lizzo is very personable, she's outgoing, she's very funny, she's actually super, she's very funny, she's actually super talented. No doubt about that. Very talented lady. Music is good, but what was the big issue?
Speaker 3She was like if I'm positive, I'm going, if I'm positive I'm going to be dead. Way too overweight. She always said I don't care. All her followers liked her for that reason. But she's saying I'm tired of people talking about me and commenting about the way I look, so I quit. Britney spears quit. She's not doing music anymore. No more concerts. And now it's lizzo. He's not gonna do any more of this stuff because if you call her a big fat pig, how do you sleep at night? What if I call her?
Speaker 1that you did call her that I would. I did regularly I called her you did we both did.
Speaker 3We were very mean to her and then we were nice to her and I guess I just We'll give her the props and the talent and stuff like that, but she would post stuff of her wearing a thong by by the pool, all 400 pounds of her. I don't want to see that and it's enough to make me into a eunuch. You know what I mean. Let me turn gay, I'll tell you. You're looking pretty sexy today, but but you know, it's just, she's gone. Enough is enough and that's okay.
Speaker 1So she's going bye-bye. She quit because she's not many people talking about me anymore. I mean I don't want to hear it anymore.
Speaker 3So she's well. You know. The banana thing probably did her in. Well, yeah, because you know what she did. They tried to have that lawsuit from her former dancers against her thrown out and she it was not. They would don't know. We got plenty of stuff here we're proceeding with with this case have they settled yet.
Speaker 3No, hasn't gone to trial. They tried to get it thrown out. So after, since it's not going to throw it out, next thing is you know what They'll talk settlement, because they don't want all these details coming to trial. Lizzo's a big, overweight pervert. Hello, that's Lizzo. Yes, what? What with the banana? No, that's what you do. She won't do the banana herself. She likes watching other people shove the banana up there while she watches. That's how she gets off.
Speaker 1Apparently. Let's just say allegedly.
Speaker 3Allegedly, lizzo likes to sit on a grapefruit and stand up and make it disappear. Allegedly.
Speaker 1We've lost so many grapefruits that way, man, I mean I'm telling you yeah I could eat any fruit after that.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, it was out for for a couple of months. I'm going, I can't do it, so what my advice would be? So she says she's gone, right, yeah just be here for two or three months. Get your ozempic prescription, use it. Come back months later. The new skinny you because you know the people, the overweight ones who follow her are going to call her a traitor. We were with you. We were with your body positivity. Now look at you. Now you wouldn't get skinny. You deserve this, but you're going to live okay.
Speaker 3So I think it's a good idea to get skinny, or you lose some weight and come back. It's a plan, right? What do you think? Right, Lizzo Well?
Speaker 1yeah, I think so, and you know, to celebrate that fact, I think I should play a little bit. What do you think?
Speaker 3Okay, let's go.
Speaker 1I know you don't like it, the original canceled radio guy. That's a good thing they didn't stick it up in the box. What's coming next? Oh, that's amazing.
Speaker 2I've been cancelled.
Speaker 1This is Chris and Costello's podcast, the original cancelled radio guys. Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 2One that never made air.
Speaker 3Vagina. Oh my gosh, she cancelled herself we didn't cancel the cast. She cancelled herself. She canceled herself, she said I quit. And of course, all the other artists keep going. Oh, don't quit, we're with you, we love being here behind you and that's all fine. But just go live. You want to live right, and you don't like when people talk about you? Then do something about it.
Speaker 1If you don't know what being talked about, you're in the wrong damn business it.
Speaker 3If you don't know what's being talked about. You're in the wrong damn business, that's for sure. It's not the thing that you're a little pudgy and fat. I mean you are obese, You're grossly overweight. I was going to say pudgy is pushing it. I'm kidding. I mean that kid you drive, she couldn't get in it. Okay, your two-seat Mercedes, she couldn't get in it.
Speaker 1You're right she couldn't get in it. You're right, she couldn't. All right, you see, I'm safe. Then I am safe, cool.
Speaker 3All right, fair enough. Yeah, you do drive a chance to drive a big bodied SUV to get in there. You know, and even the pictures people made fun of, she posted them herself. I heard by the pool and the thong bending over you know I lost lunch, dinner, breakfast and meals for a week over that Didn't eat, did you Not?
Speaker 3with that picture? It wasn't TMZ who posted the picture. She posted stuff like that herself. She posted it and people comment and say things that hurt her feelings. She goes I like the way you talk about me. Why would you post that?
Discussion on Music Diversity and Rednecks
Speaker 1I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what Changing gears. A little bit here, she quit. She quit, she stopped, so let's move on. I like talking about fat, that's fun.
Speaker 3I know you do, so people are funny.
Speaker 1Not intentionally, but they're funny. Nurse told me not to let you get too excited.
Speaker 2Okay, I'm sorry, wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 1What about? What about? What about Beyonce's Jolene? Have you listened to that at all?
Speaker 2or do you just know it's good?
Speaker 3she rewrote not all the words your sweetheart Miley, is on two songs on that CD, did you?
Speaker 1know that? No, I didn't, she's not on.
Speaker 3Jolene, but she's on two songs on that cd. Did you know that? No, I didn't. Yes, she is. She's not on jolene, but she's on two other songs and very prominent, she sounds good. She also did paul mccartney's blackbird, one of his.
Speaker 3Oh, really, yeah, that's great but she said you know, this only thing is making trump people mad, besides the audio that we just played and they realize that they're stupid, brain dead dipshits. And oh, he didn't mean it, he's just having fun. They're really upset Trump people now because Beyonce has the number one country song and they're going. I just don't get that. I think she looks black. What the hell is she doing in country? And Beyonce is upset because country radio is. Some are refusing to play it Stupid.
Speaker 1Still, it's number one. You want. You want listeners. Good Lord.
Speaker 3I know People calling and playing. They're going to play it Cause they want to hear it. Good Uh, John.
Speaker 2Snyder. Uh, excuse me.
Speaker 3John Snyder, who was one of the guys in Dukes of Hazzard. Okay, yeah, he's a big conservative. I feel bad for him because he lost his wife a year or so ago and he's really had to struggle because she was pretty young, but he's a staunch conservative. He even said Beyonce, releasing a country album is like your dog out marking your territory. You know, just marking stuff here and there, just testing things out, do whatever she wants. But I don't think it's supposed to be diverse, right? I mean, anybody can do anything. Remember, dolly Parton last year put out Rockstar, that's right. Oh, dolly's doing a rock album. She's country.
Speaker 1So what it's fun.
Speaker 3It was good. Here's a stupid question. All right, stupid question, go ahead. No, that was a stupid question.
Speaker 1I don't know if it relates exactly to this. So what ethnicity is Beyonce? Is she black or more Hispanic? What is it She'd? Be, black, she'd be black, she'd be black. Oh, okay.
Speaker 3She'd be black. I mean you have light skin, blacks, medium and dark, dark, darker skin, same thing with crackers like you.
Speaker 1There you are, you're an albino.
Speaker 3And then there's also medium colors and it's as if you be more people who tan easier, who are caucasian. So every everyone's skin tone can be different, but she's, she's afro-american all the way yeah, no, I just.
Speaker 1I just looked at that picture though. Well, I mean, there's certain things you can do with lighting in Photoshop, of course, but the white was remarkably light. Yeah, it was a long winter, as you can see from me. Let's have a little. Should we have a little? Listen to Beyonce.
Speaker 3I think the CD is great.
Speaker 1The only thing is they've managed to Q-burn it at the beginning. You know what Q-burn is. Yes, I do here we go here we go. Beyonce, beyonce, beyonce, beyonce, jolie You're beautiful beyond compare.
Speaker 3It's more than beauty and the depth of space To come between family and a happy man.
Speaker 1See she starts to really change the lyrics up about here.
Speaker 3She did change the lyrics up, which I think is very smart. She did that so everything on that CD is very well thought out the song selection she did it with dolly too yeah, dolly talks on it and who she had to have on, decide to have on.
Speaker 3It has been was stellar. I mean having my own a couple of songs you gotta, you gotta find those and the paul mccartney black, everything. Everything's just great. She, I thought, went into putting this cd out and it's number one for a reason, but there's been nothing out to compete with it right now. It's just hot. Of course, taylor's new CD comes out April 19th. Back and forth they both go.
Speaker 3This one's fun. I like this a lot. And the stupid rednecks are going we're not playing her. She's not country, you ain't going to play her.
Speaker 1This is country with good production values is what it is.
Speaker 3Yeah, I don't know if you paid attention to it or not, but it was. The iHeart Music Radio Awards were on.
Speaker 1Oh, festival yeah.
Speaker 3And she won. And that's when she got up and started you know writing people. She called the record label stupid radio station, stupid promoter, stupid. And for people who, just you know music, music is all about expression and diversity.
Speaker 3You know she's absolutely 100 right and as an artist you can do whatever type way you want to go. You know it's like cheryl crowe used to be pop, now she's country. That's right, you have a fit. No one cared. Taylor swift started his country, now she's pop. She may go a fit, no one cared. Taylor Swift started as country, now she's pop. She may go back and so on. You do whatever you like. So what Damn rednecks? I'm so sick of rednecks. Sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it.
Speaker 3You're digging it right. You like it, I dig it, man, it's good. It's good. You have to spend some time listening to the whole.
Speaker 2Thing.
Speaker 3The whole album is that thing's going to have a shelf life of a long, long time because it's so much good stuff.
Speaker 1Actually, 50 years is not unreasonable.

Speaker 3And then I got one more for you.
Speaker 2Ready for this one? Oh yeah.
Speaker 3Oh, dr Demento, All right, yeah For those of you who don't know he used to be a guy who had a syndicated radio show quite a long time ago. He was out when Gacy. Gacy was out, it was a weekly show and he would play unusual, weird novelty songs. It was because of him that Weird Al Yankovic got his start. He was the first guy to air a show on Dr Demento. It became a thing, didn't it?
Speaker 3My favorite on here is I used to play a lot on my show is by a comedian named Kip Adada, but the song is called Wet Dream. It's a classic. I remember that. You remember Wet Dream. Yeah, we'll have to play it on the show. Okay, I'll cue this baby up next week, since we're promoting driving to our show, which everyone should do we didn't.
Speaker 1I don't think you added that to the playlist of 102, did you?
Speaker 2uh, no I did it after probably not would.
Speaker 3I have sure I would have played it.
Speaker 3I would have played in the morning, of course, yeah oh yeah and I didn't get my hands on, but I I came across it. The next job and I played it a lot. It was crazy. It was so popular. When I had my first morning show party one of the guests performing live we brought in Kip Adada to do Wet Dream Live. It was great. Everyone loved it. He was a heck of a nice guy. He's dead now, but he was good, he was nice. He was a heck of a nice guy.
Speaker 1He's dead now but he was good, he was nice.
Speaker 3He's dead now, but what Dream Lives On?
Speaker 1Marvelous. We'll have to get a digital copy so we can play it That'll be fun.
Speaker 3What Dream Lives On weekly in my bed? Yes, it does.
Speaker 1More information we really needed.
Speaker 3I'm sorry, too much sharing. Okay, I'll cut back, yeah, no kidding.
Speaker 1I'm looking down my list of things here.
Speaker 3You need to share. It's time to share your neighbors. Your neighbors have been active.
Speaker 1The weather's getting warmer they're coming in and they're getting active. What the hell are they doing? Blimey, I tell you what, honestly, here we are. Well, let's just have a listen to how they've been behaving recently. I love it.
Speaker 3I can't get enough of this.
Speaker 1It's going to be a doozy.
Speaker 3All right, go ahead. We need a doozy.
Speaker 1And it doesn't end.
Speaker 3Man, they're ready for spring, aren't they?
Speaker 1Oh yeah, that's it. We've shot a lot of them.
Speaker 3Are they yelling at each other? Do they have some guests? What are they doing?
Speaker 1Actually, what that was was the screen door slamming my screen. It sounded so good I thought I'll leave it in. They slammed your screen door. Here's what happens. Okay, one of them gets some money right, and it turned out to be Pookie this time he did. A bunch of of them gets some money right, and it, as it turned out to be pooky this time, he did a bunch of work, got some money, and so what do they do? Well, it's a party. Okay, everybody comes around, they're all nice and everything, but then, about an hour, that's what you got. They're drunk and now they're fighting, so they get a little bit of money, so I'm sure that involves beer.
Speaker 1Oh, bear guns, yeah, absolutely the big three beer trucks, trucks no, they don't have trucks they don't have, they'll pull up in trucks to drink the beer, to fire the guns no, they pull up in cars that have big bits missing. I go, oh bloody night as well. So, in fact, when I saw Pookie walking across the road today, I said hey, he goes. Hey, costello, what are you doing? I'm a little tired, you know he goes. Why Get some loud mouth next door.
Speaker 3What does he say to that? I like your neighbor's name. Is Pookie really that given name, or is that just?
Speaker 1his nickname or something. He told me what his real name was. He said it's easier to say Pookie.
Speaker 3His real name is probably something like Arnold. You know some name like you wouldn't expect it to have. You know Cecil.
Speaker 1It'd be Cecil, is that?
Speaker 3Cecil, really? Yeah, I don't know. It's this loudmouth, crazy Southern African-American neighbor who's named Cecil, his parents trying to lighten him up or something or just make him fit in down there in the.
Speaker 1South, or what he needs to lighten him up. Well, you know, the women are just bad. And then what's his carry?
Speaker 3People named Cecil. What's his wife's name? Or is Liv in people's names? Oh, I'm just sorry. There's a dog in the background. He's barking to Pookie the neighbor. He's probably coming over right now. Slam your screen door. Again you talking about me. On the show, again you talking about me.
Speaker 1I think he kind of likes it actually.
Speaker 3I guess has Pookie ever heard the show? Does he know we talk about him?
Speaker 1No, I suggest that he listen. I thought maybe that's a bad idea.
Speaker 3If he heard this, he'd kill you, or your house would be set on fire.
Speaker 1I don't know. I don't know, I mean A sense of humor. Yes, which is very lucky.
Speaker 3Is he laughing that you're driving a Kia?
Speaker 1Well, they think it's great because it's got all the blacked out windows and everything.
Speaker 3So you can drive it. Is that legal in South Carolina to have the windows so darkened out?
Speaker 1You can probably have the windscreen darkened too. I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 3Here in Colorado they pull you over if the windows are jerked. They have a little thing a meter and they test it, but it gets a windshield. If it's too dark, then boom, you get a ticket for that. They tell you to take it off. You get caught with it twice. You haven't taken it off and you get a really big ticket. I've been pulled over twice in Utah because my thing's too dark when you go up through Utah and parts of Colorado.
Speaker 3they're bringing in fentanyl from mexico and they're bringing their human trafficking like crazy. I saw a truck on i-70 in the mountains in colorado a rider truck get opened the back about 25 people that were. They're taking out of it while they're arresting the driver and stuff. Yeah, it's pretty sad so. So they see me with dark windows. They think I'm up to something and I got a ticket. I got a ticket caught. You can create this because you got one in New Mexico. How fast are you going? How fast is your ticket? I was going about 100.
Speaker 3It was 185, right.
Speaker 1Uh-huh, oh it was 175, 185, something like that, yeah.
Speaker 3Man, I was zipping, I wanted to get home. It was like you get parts of Utah. It's like New Mexico is's flat, it's open. I'm going. Why the hell not, you know, but I didn't see the bastard in there hiding, you know. So he pulled me over to a hundred and three and an 85. Oops.
Speaker 1And what did that cost you?
Speaker 3He goes. You know you're pulling over cause you're speeding. I go really. And he said and you were going, I just mean really fast. I said you know what? Because I really want to get home $450.
Speaker 1The guy when he pulled me over. He goes. So I suppose you're going back to your second house now, are you? I'm like you, cheeky bastard. I suppose your swimming pool is getting cold up in the mountains. I said absolutely.
Speaker 3How much is your ticket?
Speaker 1I got away with $200. $250.
Speaker 3Mine was $450. And he told me I had to call and pay within five days or they would issue a warrant.
Speaker 1Oh, they don't issue a warrant unless it costs money. I got warrants out for me.
Speaker 3How many cruises to Utah again I get pulled over for some reason they run the tags. There goes the warrant. They would arrest me on the spot. I'll be paying the ticket. You don't want to imagine.
Speaker 1It depends where it is. Where's the warrant? Utah Beaver, beaver. Utah Pookie, excuse me, excuse me. Excuse me.
Speaker 3Benji Benji, stop barking at Pookie. Benji boy. No, I'm not going to mess with that, I'm going to pay that.
Speaker 1I suppose it's a.
Speaker 3it's a state patrol Mormon in Utah and I'm going to mess with that. You messing with me? I'm not going to mess with that. You're messing with me? I'm not gonna mess with that at all. You kidding me? Well, you know, pookie, I'm not gonna mess with the mormon state patrol in utah, okay they're just trying to marry you off is what they do.
Speaker 1I got this nice girl you might like to meet. She's only 12 now, but in a couple of years she might be your wife that's okay.
Speaker 3I mean, I asked him, I just tried conversation. I said did you have an argument with wife number five this morning or something? Hey, listen.
Speaker 1I gauged on the response that I had with my ex-wife when I mentioned she might be on husband number seven. It's just no lie.
Speaker 3Were you hinting that it's slutty, but uh?
Speaker 3yeah, he did like that when they landed a little comment, he goes I'll be writing you a ticket for the full, uh, uh mileage. You're going speeding so like, give me a break, maybe bring it down about five or six months. So I'll be writing for the full amount here. I'm just going. I'll just sit here and shut up, then okay, always a good idea. I'm just saying those, I'll just sit here and shut up, then okay, always a good idea. I'm just saying those fur-lined handcuffs behind me going off, we go off, we go.
Speaker 1I don't think so. When you call the magistrate or the judge, you can plead.
Speaker 3They were closed yesterday for Easter Monday, so as soon as the show's over, I have to give them a call.
Speaker 1Let's give them a call now. What's the number?
Speaker 3I don't think so. No, I'll be calling with my credit card.
Speaker 1Go on, it'll be fun.
Speaker 3I have a credit card in my hand right here going. I'm sorry, sir, I'm sorry, I'll never speak to Utah again. Here's my credit card, just run the car and drop that damn car.
Speaker 1I'm never going to Utah again, period, I have no choice but to go to Utah.
Speaker 3if I'm going to drive down there, I have to go again. I'm going to the NAB to see you guys. I'll be driving down there, you and little.
Speaker 1Joey, you guys will be flying. Yeah, nab's going to be fun. Might even see little Joey out too.
Speaker 3Explain this to me, okay. So here he is. Here's Joey, my little Jewish little joey, out too. Explain this to me, okay. So here he is. He's the joy metal jewish troll living in the base because he's got some financial hardships and stuff and he's staying at the win, okay oh yeah what financial hardship. He's flying there and he's staying at the freaking. He's not paying for the win, is he well?
Speaker 1who's? Who's paying for it? His company? Whoever has?
Speaker 3He works on a commission. So if you work on a commission, are they going to pay you for that? Maybe, so I guess, with the win.
Speaker 1No, no, no, the company won't pay you $4.50 a night. Ah really, excuse me, I have to do something in here.
Speaker 3Don't they? They had a slow week last week and I they had a slow week last week. I saw that the Strat they're offering rooms ready for night. It was $9 a night. No way, no.
Speaker 1But the resort fee was and the NAB would be like $1,000.
Speaker 3It's $45 for the resort fee and then you had the taxes in, so you still got about $85 a night, but it was just you know, the greasiest, slimiest place. I should talk about doing a pop wind up, staying there, since, since the NAB is going to take all the rooms, you know I'll be at the Strat. I'll be sleeping in the lobby because my bed's too greasy and dirty and there's clothes still stuck.
Speaker 1Well, listen if, if, if Joey's got a suite at the Bellagio, there's probably room for you up there too.
Speaker 3That's a good idea. We can all crash in Joey's room we could, we could and your daughter's there. You've got a nice, warm guest bed waiting on you, daddy. I hope so. Why would she not have you stay there? Did you piss her off, or something?
Speaker 1The last time I went, she didn't have a new house at that point, I don't know. She didn't, and she said well, dad, you're going to stay in a hotel. What? Why? Well, because Abby's coming in. Blah, blah, blah. Gee thanks, I ended up in a hotel. I ended up in the aristocrat hotel, yeah exactly it's.
Speaker 1uh, you're alive and we're here talking to you today indeed, it's a goth hotel and their, their idea of decorating is painted black right, never mind just chipping off, paint it black, oh look the bathroom, like that black curtain behind you right now.
Speaker 3Yeah, same thing oh my lovely.
Speaker 1Um, I don't know why that didn't work. Well, it might not be by the time you see. This, I might. I like that black curtain behind you right now. Yeah, same thing. Oh my lovely, I don't know why that didn't work. Well, it might not be by the time you see this I might have figured out.
Speaker 3So now your daughter knows you're coming this time, so did she offer that she can stay at your home this time?
Speaker 1Oh, I'm staying at her house, yeah, sure.
Speaker 3Oh, that's already been arranged. You know that for a fact?
Speaker 1Oh, of course, yeah, yeah, I've even paid for it, just checking.
Speaker 3You might get surprised. You get there and go gee, sorry Dad, no, it's a storage room. There's no bed in there now.
Speaker 1She said you can stay, I can probably hang out with Joey.
Speaker 3And I've got to. Oh, so you've myself a place to stay.
Speaker 1Seriously ask Joey if he's got, because those have like double ones.
Speaker 3Turn the leech. I'm going to leech off him so bad. I want to. I'm going to.

Speaker 1yeah, yeah, yeah, it's uh, you know, yeah, well, you know what? Um gosh, I think it's time to start screaming, don don't you?
Speaker 3Are we doing a quick Joe Rogan thing, are we?
Speaker 1Oh no, we're not.

I sometimes play that and you can call in and rant about the little steroidal bald midget, or you can rant about somebody else you want to, about the dumb redneck radio station that won't play Beyonce. You can just call and scream at Lizzo and just go go take your break. Then Go eat two pizzas, whatever you want to do. Or you can rant about whatever, send it to us at christencostello at yahoocom.
