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).

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Is facial hair a blessing or a curse? We kick off this vibrant episode with a lively debate that spirals into a hilarious tale featuring a sneaky cat and some unexpected antics. But it isn't all laughs; we take a heartfelt pause to honor the incredible legacy of Donald Sutherland, reminiscing about his unforgettable roles and the indelible mark he left on Hollywood. From there, we explore the profound mysteries of the afterlife and reincarnation, drawing inspiration from Shirley MacLaine’s fascinating beliefs. Expect a rich blend of humor, sentiment, and deep philosophical musings.
Joining us is the ever-entertaining Sandeep, who brings his unique perspective on being Indian into our discussion on racial and ethnic terminology. We wade through the intricacies of evolving language and its societal impact, touching on the influence of cultural icons like Oprah Winfrey. Sandeep lightens the mood with stories of food smuggling and his self-proclaimed magical qualities, adding a dash of humor to the serious conversation. This chapter provides a thoughtful yet amusing look at how we navigate identity and language in an ever-changing world.
Our journey doesn't stop there. Buckle up for a whirlwind of celebrity look-alikes, pop culture chit-chat, and the pressures aging celebrities face, including a candid chat about Jennifer Lopez and the pitfalls of rapid weight loss. From Justin Timberlake's DUI incident and the importance of responsible drinking to the evolving public perception of Jimmy Carter and the legal woes of Allen Weisselberg, we cover it all. We round off the episode with a vibrant discussion on women's basketball, wildlife encounters, and neighborhood pets, leaving you with plenty to ponder and smile about.

Hi there, this is Chris. Hey, chris, costello here. Oh, costello, you can tell me Costello's voice is all grumpy already, because we'll do this a certain way, mentioning facial hair, and you haven't shaved since we first brought it up. That's right. Personally I mean personally, personally I think that it looks this stuff looks pretty good, that white stuff looks good, but you hate it though, why is it itch or something?
Speaker 2it itches. And hey, you know what the funny thing is? One of my cats got right into my face yeah, she liked it, yeah, and he's licking it and then he decided to take a chunk out of it. I like that stuff. Shit that hurt man. Let's take a chunk out of it.
Speaker 1I like that stuff. Shit that hurt man. Let's take a vote. I mean, I was thinking it looks good. I do Do that to me. Well, it's up to you, your face, your life, but my humble opinion is that.
Speaker 2I think it's pretty good. That's better than I usually hear your face, my ass, but there you go yeah.
Speaker 1But you but you know how it goes in the center if she makes biffy, so I don't want you to bitch me, so no, I'm not bitchy, I'm gonna. I'm gonna go to the moon anyway.
Speaker 2Update for the week. So we have to, since we have one one listener who hates to sign up here we'll respect his opinion.
Speaker 1Okay, or one of them for about two seconds, it okay. Sorry jim. Yeah, sorry jim, because you know jim's like. No, jim's that way because, jim, we're going to talk about facial hair, whether you like it or not, damn it. Sorry Jim. Yeah, sorry Jim. You know Jim's that way because Jim probably has three facial hairs there, because he can't do it. That's why he didn't like it because he can't do it.
Speaker 3We have to have a moment of silence here, and he has to have a co-mover, I guess.
Speaker 2I don't know.
Speaker 1That could be. We lost one of our good guys today. Costello, you may not know about this yet. We have to have a moment of silence, all right? Oh yeah, a lot of these actors and musicians are getting older, so it's not going to be surprising that we lose a lot every year. A really great actor, good guy, donald Sutherland, died today. Yeah, I saw that. Yeah, in case those of you who don't know him, he's that. How about Kiefer Sutherland's dad? How about that? He is.
Speaker 2What about? What was it? He was in the original MASH movie. Yes, he was. What was the other one, kelly's Heroes?
Speaker 1Yep, he was in it with Mary Tyler Moore. He won a lot of Academy Awards. Ordinary People, he was in a lot of stuff. He was in Animal House with John Belushi. He played Pot, smoke and Sleep with Students. Professor, it was funny man, it was great Okay.
Speaker 3Don't write this down, but I find Milton probably as boring as you find Milton. Mrs Milton found him boring too. He's a little bit long winded, he doesn't translate very well into our generation and his jokes are terrible. But that does not relieve you from your responsibility for this material. I'm waiting for reports from some of you. I'm not joking, this is my job, yeah this is like real, real grumpy voice.
Speaker 2yeah, yeah, if you watch TV now, I'm not joking, this is my job.
Speaker 1Yeah, this is like real, real grumpy voice. Yeah, if you watch TV now he's the voice of like orange juice commercials. Now People don't know. So he was, was, yeah. Orange juice is what's good for you. I mean he just had a good. He was just good, good voice, great actor, good guy 88 years old.
Speaker 2On to the next realm.
Speaker 1That's okay is there a next realm? Where's that at and where's the next?
Speaker 2one. Well, you know that's a very long conversation, if you'd like to get into it.
Speaker 1Oh, this is not when or where I kind of like following shirley mclean, who just goes. As soon as I go, I'll come back as another person. Basically, that would be nice. That would be nice if it was true. I mean, who knows, right, we won't know. Oh well, I'll come back as one of your cats or something.
Speaker 2Well, you can't come back to a being that's already here.
Speaker 1I'll come back as a baby in Haiti or something like that, where we had no food. We have no what, who, knows.
Speaker 2Well, have no one who knows. Well, that is hades, isn't it? Hades is hell.
Speaker 1Hell is purely something of the human mind and a nice thing if you come back. That's why all her lives have been great. Because, she said, I guess once you get started on that route, no matter when you recycle yourself and you come back anew after you die, all her past lives have been something special. Like like now she's a celebrity activist and all her private lives were pretty cool too. Royalty for one, I think, she said Always there was money.
Speaker 2I always thought it was interesting when people said oh yes, my past life I was a pharaoh. Now, in your past life you might have been a slave. In the past life you might have been an ant Most people always have have. Oh, in my past life I was a maggot. Yeah, I quite believe that how do you? Know, I don't know I guess you have to work up through various stages to get to um I'll swear I did.
Speaker 1I want to believe this, but it's just really hard to imagine, because when you go to a funeral, I'm looking. I'm looking at a dead person lying there. It's just like I just can't picture. Okay, you're dead're dead. All of a sudden you're out of your body, going oh Harry, I'm up here Looking down at my dead self, I'm going on to something different, and then there's the dead person. The dead is dead. I don't know.
Speaker 2Well, that's just the body, it's not the mind. I know that, I know that.
Speaker 1My thing is if there is something, show yourself.
Speaker 2Show it. You can, because if it ever becomes known, you can. No, you can't, because. Think about it. If you knew what was going to happen to you after you die, after you use this thing, it was very good.
Speaker 1That means I killed myself today.
Speaker 2You're going to come back as a billionaire.
Speaker 1Well, heck, what am I waiting? Let me jump off a building right now.
Speaker 2then there's a penalty for early withdrawal. I guarantee you that. Don't do that anyway. We just got this damn thing working properly.
Speaker 1Inquiring mind. I just want to know, I just want to believe this stuff.
Speaker 2But the thing of it is it's like people say I know what my past life's like. No, you can't, because it'll blow the whole thing. Everybody's stuck staring nuts if you suddenly told them what they were.
Speaker 1Time travel, just all the. You can cover all this crap, so it's all right. All right, I'm looking at a dilemma here, so I need your help, so we're going to talk about this. So one of the guys here works at okay, when you're dealing with African-American patients, I said don't call them African-American anymore, call them black, okay, I don't know. So it's just like okay, if you, if you, if you, if you have a, you have a guy and he's, like, you know, mexican, you say Hispanic, that's not a big deal. Okay, right, easy Right.
Speaker 1If it's someone from Korea, maybe Japan, you go oh, it's an Asian person. We have an Asian client, okay, right, but not oriental anymore. No, no, no, asian is good, I like that, you know. But if you but I mean so I don't know, I have to ask a black person, I guess, or an African-American Do they want to be called blacks now or do they still like being called African-American? When I grew up I had to say I'm the son of the salad room down in Atlanta. They'd go there's a couple of Negroes over there, I'm just going. What a crappy word. I mean the other one's bad but Negro. What a stupid word. I mean the L was bad, but Negro, what a stupid word I just never liked it.
Speaker 2You know where that comes from, what you know where that comes from? Right, enlighten me. From the geographical area that they were taken from, there's still an area called Niger, which is nicely pronounced Niger in Africa, you mean, yep, and there's a river Niger also, and that's where the really big, strong African-Americans were found, and that's well hey, we'll have a few of these, and that's how the work started.
Speaker 1I thought it was a white cracker name and they came up with that to call them that no no, there's actually a background to that.
Cultural Terms and Perspectives
Speaker 2There's a background, well, I guess.
Speaker 1I just told you that Negro wouldn't supposedly say no one ever uses that. I never hear that anymore, do you?
Speaker 2No, I use black. I think I explain. Oh, that black guy over there, Although it all feels weird to say stuff like that.
Speaker 1No one looks at P Diddy and goes that P Diddy pervert, that Negro is going to prison. You just don't hear that. I forget what you said and they'll go.
Speaker 2you called him what he said yo ma yeah, but that's P Diddy. You know P Diddy, really I don't know. I mean he's got problems. I like Pup Daddy better. Yeah, it was far, yeah, it made more sense, kind of.
Speaker 1Well, I think there's a prison cell with him and R Kelly. Maybe they'll be next to each other. They can share stories yeah that'd be fun.
Speaker 2I wonder what the offspring would look like.
Speaker 1Everyone had that 14-year-old and told her she was going to sign him to a record contract if she'd do so-and-so. Got it for 15 years, Too pervert. So I'd like a good opinion on that. Like I said, I wish I had. I don't have a. I'm a black person in the office. I'd like to go. Do you want to prefer to be called a black individual?
Speaker 2or would you prefer to be called an African American? I'm a black individual, Well hey, you know, being a white individual. So if you're describing someone.
Speaker 1so the picture popped up on our screen here's Oprah Winfrey. Would you go? There's Oprah, she's a well successful black woman. Or would you say she would become a very successful African-American woman? Sounds different when you say it the other way. Right, yeah, it sure does. So which one would you decide towards?
Speaker 2I would say yeah, but I can see it's a minefield. It doesn't matter what you call it. What you call it, it's Oprah. In that respect, it's just Oprah. She's an anomaly of her own, a color of her own. She's Oprah Brown, yep.
Speaker 1Oprah, I was hoping to see if I was going to have another category too. It could go either way. So we have our guest once in a while, sandeep. Sandeep is from India, all right. So if you're from India, do you say you're Indian? Yes, okay. What if you are from Cherokee tribe here in this country? You are what?
Speaker 2Native American Indian. I could be an Indian too. No Native American now, In fact, you'll be corrected.
Speaker 1So you're saying Native Americans would rather be called Native Americans that don't want to be called Indians? Correct, learn something. There are new points from Costello today. I don't want to say the wrong thing and get myself killed out in the street?
Speaker 2okay, no, I don't think so. I mean, you know, they were pretty well laid back it sounds weird to me.
Speaker 1If you see a guy from India, they're going oh, he's Indian. That's just not in my brain. Psyche from what we learned growing up. Not that I'm thinking of it as an offensive word or comment you just think of Indian.
Speaker 2Guess what. Somebody has popped up at Sandeep. Where's Sandeep? Well, I've got him here. Let's have Sandeep then.
Speaker 1Okay, I can't hear him.
Speaker 2Sandeep, you there, buddy, hold on a second Hang on, a second Hang on. There you go, sandeep.
Speaker 4I do not have the video today.
Speaker 1That's okay. You're a long ways away, so where are you from? Are we from Bombay?
Speaker 4Calcutta.
Speaker 2What? Just down the road, three stops on the number 11.
Speaker 4Calcutta. Takes a long train with many people on it hanging off and stay on it for 15 hours. You get to my house.
Speaker 1Oh, if people ask you from you say India, do they say you're an Indian? Do you call yourself an Indian?
Speaker 4I call myself an Indian, but I say I'm Indian Dot, not feather.
Speaker 2Oh very good and sure as hell not Pakistani, no, no, that's a good way to end it. Indian without the feather.
Speaker 1But you still piss off the Native Americans.
Speaker 4I guess, right, mm-hmm, absolutely.
Speaker 2It says goal in life is to piss off an African American. I can help you with that.
Speaker 1You said you're going to bring some curry up for lunch. Did you bring it?
Speaker 4I did, but I am in the deserts of Southeast Asia, so kind of far from you.
Speaker 2Well, that would be a long ways to.
Speaker 4I could ship it.
Speaker 2Nice.
Speaker 1Nice, that would probably smell real good by the time we get here, right, you know what, elton?
Speaker 2Cindy, my children's mother was from Malaysia and when she'd go over there and she'd come back, she'd regularly smuggle food in. Well, she used to do it all the time. You can't do that, you can't bring this up, and she'd be unwrapping shit and there'd be flies coming out of it and it's like, oh God, and she'd be unwrapping shit and there'd be flies coming out of it and it's like oh God, Smuggle food into where India yeah, Made in. India From Malaysia to.
Speaker 1Las Vegas. Is the food that bad in India they got to smuggle it over from another country.
Speaker 4No.
Speaker 2No, it's not good. It's not good. Nothing like a nice fin de loup, though I always thought.
Speaker 1Why does it say in your caption Sandeep the Magical, magical, what?
Speaker 4You know I'm magical All types of magical.
Speaker 3Oh.
Speaker 4What type of magic would you like?
Speaker 1Do you perform magical stuff? Are you just magical as a person? Are you magical?
Speaker 4in the back. What Combination of both.
Speaker 1You're magical in bed.
Speaker 4Ask your ex-girlfriend.
Speaker 2Ex-girlfriend, I noticed that's a giveaway right there, isn't it?
Speaker 4Or your current girlfriend I'm not going to say wife, because that's disrespectful.
Speaker 1Since when did you worry about that?
Speaker 4I have standards Since when do you have standards when?
Speaker 2I remember the last time we talked and the standards went right out the window, as I recall, and you hung up on us. It was a really difficult phone call anyway, but yeah, it just seemed like you took umbrage.
Speaker 4Don't use big words. You confuse me. I did not do well in the SATs.
Speaker 1He's talking to you in British speak. I say you do umbrage, umbrage. You took umbrage. I've never really heard that in conversations you've had. I say do umbrage.
Speaker 4Do you use the word brilliant all the time?
Speaker 2What is brilliant all the time. Because English people all the time they say something and go.
Speaker 1Oh my God, that is brilliant. That's right, that's brilliant, Brilliant, brilliant. Like Monty Patton, they always make a point or a punchline.
Speaker 2Brilliant, oh that is why can't we give a show that does that? But anyway, yes, brilliant is a good English word too. So what would you say back on then, Sandy, if something was really brilliant? Camel done.
Speaker 4Honestly, there's no real translation, so I can't really put it in words.
Speaker 2There isn't an explanation that you would come out with.
Speaker 4But I mean we do like oh my god, you know, this is kind of most common.
Speaker 2Really Interesting.
Speaker 1Good, good, good, oh my god, oh my god, you've been picking up on the New American Slam pretty well.
Speaker 4Are you very good at this? I'm watching lots of YouTube videos.
Speaker 1I can tell, because every time you see something you go what the fuck? What the fuck? You know I love these things. Get Americanized. What the fuck.
Speaker 2Sounds good with your thick accent.
Speaker 4I appreciate this very much.
Speaker 2Go ahead what?
Speaker 5So, what the?
Speaker 2fuck when the fuck are we?
Speaker 4Are you confused in seeing stars?
Speaker 2I must be, Well, Sandeep, this has been most enlightening. Thank you for your insight, sir. I'll tell you. Hey, do you want to give us just an insight? For some reason, Bailey and I got onto the conversation of reincarnation. What are your feelings about that, depending on your religious beliefs or whatever?
Speaker 1When you die, and they bury you with your camel. Are you going to come back or are you dead and gone?
Speaker 4We don't have camels, we have cows.
Speaker 1That's a sacred cow. So that makes you sick. They bury you with your sacred cow. Are you going to come back or are you done?
Speaker 4You probably will come back to something else, depending on what you did in life. So if you're a bad person, you come back, cockroach.
Speaker 5If you're a bad person, you come back as the sacred cow in India.
Speaker 1That's a big sign if I'm going to come back as a sacred cow.
Speaker 4Oh, yes, very much so.
Speaker 1How come all the cows in India just had their ribs sticking out and said they got no meat on them? Don't you guys feed them any grain or anything?
Speaker 4They're free range.
Speaker 1Oh, free range. There's nothing to eat there. That's all they had to eat.
Speaker 2No, you're not allowed to eat them. In fact, you're not even allowed to touch them, isn't that right?
Speaker 4No, you know, in India it's a tradition that the day of your wedding you have the sacred cow come into your house and poop, and if it does not poop, your marriage will fail.
Speaker 2Well, smell either way, won't it?
Speaker 4I'm not cleaning it up.
Speaker 1Hell man Sandeep obviously is not married. Hasn't had the sacred cow shit in his house yet.
Speaker 2Come shit in my house, please, please, please. Well, I mean, they're probably vegetarians, so the shit wouldn't be too bad. Yes, right you pal a cow dung in the house, but it was always bad.
Speaker 1Okay, it's always bad.
Speaker 2So I can only assume, then, that wedding presents in India do not include carpets.
Speaker 4We're not Arabian, we don't fly the carpet.
Speaker 2This is true, I'm not flying it, but I'm just saying that you know you don't want a nice floor covering If we're just having this beautiful 17th century floor covering, you know, let the cows shit on it.
Speaker 1We're just having a good stereotype day.
Celebrity Lookalikes and Pop Culture Gossip
Speaker 2Very much so. We haven't truly offended you yet. We're working on it. Good stereotype day, very much so.
Speaker 1We haven't truly offended you. Yet we're working on it. We'll get there. It'd be easy to do, but we're not going to go there. Yeah, we are doing video. Sandy's pretty quick, though, so you try to burn one in, but if you get right back at you, yeah, is there a reason you don't want your face shown, sandy, the Internet is connections very, very limited out here.
Speaker 4I could not do the streaming.
Speaker 1So it's not that you're trying to hide your face or anything like that. You're okay with seeing what you look like.
Speaker 4Oh, absolutely.
Speaker 1No problem, I'll say describe it. If you look like a celebrity, who do you closely resemble? Who do you look like?
Speaker 4This is a very difficult question. Do you want, want like American celebrities?
Speaker 1Yes, one we can relate to. Yes, Do you look like Oprah?
Speaker 4I look very much similar to Kumal from White Castles.
Speaker 2Oh, okay, kumal, I was thinking of that English show.
Speaker 1Harold and Kumar White Castle.
Speaker 4That is the correct one.
Speaker 1Great movie, isn't it?
Speaker 4Very interesting.
Speaker 1Big movie.
Speaker 2That's funny.
Speaker 1We'll have to get back to whatever it was you're doing, which is probably nothing. That's okay. Appreciate the time, buddy.
Speaker 2Okay, Thanks Sandy.
Speaker 4Say hello to NPL for me.
Speaker 1To what NPL?
Speaker 4Patrick Harris. Oh, nph, sorry, I fucked that one up. What the fuck? All right, it was good times. I will talk to you later.
Speaker 1All right, it was good times.
Speaker 4I will talk to you later.
Speaker 1Yeah, all right, bye-bye, bye, bye-bye, sandy, bye-bye. All right, hang on a second here. Did we learn anything from this conversation about who likes to be called what? Hang on a second. Don't call me the usual stuff, just deal with it. You may just go, it's stupid. No, kat, that's what I'm used to Call me stupid. But hanging on what? What are you looking at? There's a cat room behind you, is that?
Speaker 2it no, you get cats running around there.
Speaker 1You get stray cats in there. What?
Speaker 2No, no, no, it was Alexa. The alarm was going off. Make sure I wasn't taking a nap before we did this.
Speaker 1You time.
Speaker 2Oh no, that's a morning ablution, but listen, man. Hey, wait a minute. Now you've been on Osempix so you should know better than to say it. Yeah, they're right.
Speaker 1It's like every hour on the hour, buddy, really no. When you first started, maybe for you, it didn't for me. You've got to get to that high level first. Start dropping weight, you'll find out why you dropped weight. Go to Costco and you buy in bulk. Get the bulk of toilet paper okay.
Speaker 2You're going to need that. That's what came out? Go back in.
Speaker 1That's what came out. I got to go back in. I'm not perfect. I got to go back in.
Speaker 2I don't know.
Speaker 1I'm up to five milligrams now. Is that the normal? No, you're at 0.5. 0.05. I'm at 2.0. I'm way ahead of you. You've got to get to 0.75, then 1.0, and then the massive thing of 2.0.
Speaker 2Oh, okay, well, I'll be getting there sooner or later. Then I thought I was…. You're blowing your butt out, buddy. Well, I'll be getting there sooner or later.
Speaker 1Then I thought I was Blowing your butt out, buddy.
Speaker 2Blowing your butt.
Speaker 1Well, I have lost weight already, anyway, so I was having fun making fun of the when people kind of like crashing bird, so you got the. You know the benefit that they're waiting for the divorce to happen any day now so that the people are really happy that Jennifer Lopez been a real shit of a year. They're supposed to be here a year. My movie, my documentary, my love story, my concert no one's going to go see anything. It's overexposure. Man, it's tough to be a pop star over 50 trying to be relevant.
Speaker 1It's really a hard thing to do.
Speaker 2Is she getting divorced?
Speaker 1now, that's what they say. It's just rumored they're so happy that Justin Timberlake got pulled over for a DUI. Yeah, nobody knew he was away from them. Put it all on him.
Speaker 2Yeah, the cop said. He said well, he ran a stop sign and then his eyes were all red.
Speaker 1You saw the picture, you saw the mugshot? Yeah, man, they're red.
Speaker 2Yeah, definitely, they certainly were. He couldn't divide his attention, that's the other thing. And had an unsteady foot. You've got an unsteady foot.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, Mine's different reasons. That's because I'm wasted. I'll let you know what I'm wasted for. Today I'm not. Today I'm not wasted, and I said it like an idiot. But he failed the sobriety test. While I cared he refused to give a blood test. I didn't give it anything for Kimball, he wouldn't do it. That's used against you in court because you refuse that.
Speaker 2That's kind of like an admission of guilt in a way, kind of, and the good news is that his wife, Jessica Beal, isn't going to divorce him over this.
Speaker 1Well, why would you? The thing is all the trolls in the line. Half of them are just all over giving him total crap. The other half are his fans who are defending him. His tour and his new CD didn't do very well. His tour is not sold out as everyone thought, but he's still going. Once he hits a piece, he pops over 40. It's just tough to be a pop star over 40. It's tough to be a pop star over 30. It's just like in this day and age you have no excuse to be driving.
Speaker 2Good grief, call a stink an Uber or an Uber, or one of those drives drives itself.
Speaker 1It's not like it used to be, like let me try to get a taxi for you, and so they're waiting for an hour and a half, especially up in that part of Long Island. Just just just get an Uber or get one of your friends, or your friends are wasted too. I guess it's just. It's just so easy to just get another and come get your car the next day. There's no reason to be that stupid when you know you've been drinking. You know they say they only have one martini. How big was the?
Speaker 2frigging martini, it must have been a big martini, that's what I thought too.
Speaker 1You saw the mugshot. It was like this yeah, and the eyes were just red, you know.
Speaker 2I did think it was nice of them to say that his wife isn't going to divorce him over it. Who said that? Oh, it was in People magazine. And also check this out for a great headline. Robert Plant, you might remember him right, of course, led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin, okay, he's doing a tour with Alison Krauss and I think they're coming close to where I live, so I'm going to go, if I can get a ticket, anyway, but the point, the headline, was this Robert Plant had a happy childhood. Okay, it just struck me.
Speaker 2It's like it's so unusual Robert Plant had a happy childhood.
Speaker 1I'll give good credit here to Robert Plant, because a lot of concerts this summer are not doing well. People are sick of paying overpriced for concert tickets and stuff. They're just thinking, oh, we'll just go and people are going to buy it. Everyone's kind of tired of it. Robert Plant is smart. If he's coming to your neck of the woods, they're smart. Let's go to markets and never get concerts. They'll be so damn desperate for entertainment we're going to sell out. That's true. He's good. Get a concert like that, A medium-sized venue. Of course we've got a concert coming. Someone's coming here, Go go.
Speaker 2Oh my, it might be like Air Supply the fifth reincarnation.
Speaker 1They've come to your market. Oh my God, you guys are really….
Speaker 2That's awful here, I know it, I know, and soon we'll be covering Costello Moose live.
Speaker 1Not to beat Debbie Downer, but we're kind of like covering…. Okay, so we've got Donald Sutherland, who died today. Okay, yes, we do. We've got Bennifer, which the marriage is dying soon. Okay, apparently so. And let's see. Okay, timberlake is at DUI. He's got a concert due tomorrow in Chicago. We don't know if he's going to be performing. Of course he will be, why the hell wouldn't he be? And news, unfortunately, out of my home state of Georgia is that Jimmy Carter, who's been an ex-president, been in hospice for a while, that he's not really waking up so much anymore. Oh, wow, this is going to happen pretty, pretty soon. So it's going to be a big funeral for an ex-president I don't see.
Speaker 2I've rather forgotten about him. I didn't realize he hadn't passed yet His wife did.
Speaker 1So he was in hospice her and she passed and we kind of knew well when she went, his desire was going to be… it's within a year.
Speaker 2usually they were married for like 70, 75 years.
Speaker 1I mean, they were like inseparable.
Speaker 2Yeah, they were much better people than I've ever given credit.
Political Affairs and International Relations
Speaker 1They were great people and she was a really good First Lady. And as far as President goes, he goes oh he's crappy. No, he wasn't it. As president goes, he goes oh he's crappy. No, he wasn't, it's just, you know, it's just a lot of things happened while he was in, you know, and some things out of his control, some things he can't control, but the most important thing is he's just a really decent, great human being, yeah, which is kind of hard to find in current presidents running and it's just tough, you know. Come back to that again. Don't ruin it.
Speaker 2We haven't mentioned it yet.
Speaker 1Good we're getting there, we're almost there.
Speaker 2Oh, we are.
Speaker 1Yes, we are.
Speaker 2Okay, we're getting there.
Speaker 1That's why I'm getting it. This is going to say I've got a headache. I was thinking about it. I've just got a freaking headache. I need to accept your migraine.
Speaker 1okay, accept your migraine. But Carter, he's like a hero in our home state. Even though Republicans couldn't stand him, they hated him. Oh, they did. Oh well, that stupid redneck state, you know. They've changed their feelings over the years because they've watched what type of man he is and they put the focus back on what type of human being he is rather than his politics and stuff. So he's a lifelong Democrat. So you follow those party lines. You look at the human being. People always go vote for the policy Instead of the person. I'd look at both policy first, of course, and human being second. If the human being's bad, he's kicked out anyway, no matter what the policy is.
Speaker 1these days he's a bad human being going to prison soon, don't we.
Speaker 2There's one exiting and the other hopefully entering, and that would of course be federal prison.
Speaker 1Do we get to play now? Do we get to play Trump going to prison? Yeah, ok, we'll play it now.
Speaker 5We play. Now let's play Weisselberg. This guy was the longtime chief financial officer of the Trump organization. In August of 2022, he pleaded guilty to 15 felonies in a scheme to defraud federal, state and city tax authorities to enrich himself and other Trump organization employees. Weisselberg evaded taxes on one point seventy six million dollars in unreported income. He was sentenced to serve five months in Rikers Island. Then, in April of this year, he pleaded guilty again to two felony counts of perjury in connection with the New York Attorney General's fraud lawsuit against the Trump organization. He was sentenced to serve five months in Rikers Island. That's where he is as of this date.
Speaker 5That 17 felony convictions exactly half the number of felonies I was convicted of by a jury and he got a total of 10 months to serve in prison. Like me, Weisselberg has no felony criminal record and he's in his 70s. So think about it. This means I'm going to jail because I didn't plead guilty to anything. I made the state take me to trial and I still got found guilty of twice the number of felonies Allen Weisselberg did. And, unlike Weisselberg, I was fined for contempt nine times for violating my gag order. Unlike Weisselberg, I showed nothing but arrogance and contempt for the court staff and family members, and I've never shown a single shred of remorse or contrition. I've been a total, unrepentant dickhead from the get-go. Allen Weisselberg got 10 months to serve and I'm going to get a lot more than that. Stop worrying about probation or house arrest. Judge Merchan is going to lock my fat ass up and it's exactly what I deserve. Loser.
Speaker 1God amazing isn't it Once he played that see the headache's going away right now, losing the headache. You know it's funny.
Speaker 2Trump goes to prison. You mentioned this when it was in power. Those years, everybody was all kind of tense and had headaches and everything, and that's really true and I noticed the other day, as it hasn't been on every newscast, it feels kind of okay. I don't feel quite so stressed. However, you've got Putin over there and he's in Vietnam right now.
Speaker 1He just left that hotspot North Korea.
Speaker 2And, yes, he visited North Korea. Now he's visiting a longtime partner. Is this ex-wife?
Speaker 1What? Who's ex-wife?
Speaker 2I'll read that again, shall I? I think you should. Putin is visiting Vietnam. He's visiting his long-time partner. His ex-wife Isn't partner, I just thought it was a weird way of putting it. His partner, oh, never mind, what the hell point are you trying to make?
Speaker 1Huh, well, you know, explain to me, explain your stupidness.
Speaker 2Okay, when you call someone. Nowadays, when you call someone a partner, it's usually a wife or a person, not a whole country who calls them a partner. Well, they did in the, whatever it was I was reading, and they call him the longtime partner.
Speaker 1The longtime partner.
Speaker 2You mean the guy in North.
Speaker 1Korea.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 1We're friendly with him now. People go vacation there. If you're not as old.
Speaker 2Well, I guess he's there you go. He's trying to reignite the spark. I guess I don't know, but that's what it said. So he's trying to keep him around.
Speaker 1He needs help. He needs weapons. He's getting weapons from North Korea. I don't know if Vietnam's going to be able to help and supply him with. Maybe he knows something we don't know North Korea is sending him missiles. Anything that they've got to help him out.
Speaker 2We've got a big buddy, a big country buddy anything that they got to help him out to say we got a big buddy, big country buddy. So yeah, I don't. I don't think that's the question right. They're probably probably american. Um, missiles somehow ended up.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, yeah, north korea so the russia, russia and they said korea, go back to china and through russia again.
Speaker 2So yeah, there you go. No, it's. It's the old Ollie North thing, but like 40 years later, remember Oliver.
Speaker 1North. Yeah, I'm glad you brought up Russia because they had a thing to do. There's a woman who's like a ballerina who went to Russia to visit her mother she's an American now, okay. And because she wanted to help out, so she gave a $51 donation to a nonprofit to help Ukraine. Okay, okay, she goes to visit her mom and they find out about that. So they arrest her for treason for that $51 deposit.
Speaker 1They have a new law in Russia now for treason, the sentence is life in prison. This young woman is only 21 years old. Salarini got a whole future ahead of her. She lives in California, but her mom's in Russia. There isn't a mom, and they found something to do. They're looking for anything. If you're in America, you go to Russia. You're a freaking idiot. They're going to look for any reason in your background to arrest you and detain you and keep you there. So my thing is okay. Why don't we just do kit for tat? And you know how many, how many Russians are here in this country. Let's just start. Start arresting them, put their ass in jail. What the hell? You know? Why not? There's a lot of them over here.
Speaker 2What are we doing? There's a lot of Russians over here Trumped up charges.
Speaker 1I mean we'll have a trial in about two years when we feel like it.
Speaker 2Yeah Well, yeah, exactly, and hey, you could start with the ex first lady, couldn't you?
Speaker 1She's not Russian. Yes, she is. No, I thought she was uh got money to Google, got it to Google.
Speaker 2Oh boy.
Speaker 1I mean, she's Eastern European, okay, we know that, but I don't know if she's Russian or not. So come on, man, you're messing me up, google Boy. Ladies and gentlemen, Google Boy. Oh God, he's going to change his name again. I get that on the shirt Google Boy. So yeah, that's fine, Not bad, let's copyright that Google Boy Copyright. Yeah boy, I mean, I know she's Eastern European. I did not think she was Russian man, I'm pretty damn sure she is.
Speaker 2Well, truthfully, I could be wrong. Well, come on then.
Speaker 1Come on, good, good, here we go. I was right, slovenia. I was right Slovenia, you got Slovenia, czechoslovakia you got Russia, you got Hungary, you got all those Same thing All Eastern European guys run together, she says Slovenia, that's like.
Speaker 2That's almost like saying oh, he's not American, he's Kansas.
Speaker 1No, he's not. She's a Slavic Slavic. She's Slavic Slavic. This is where we're talking about who's what and what. Well see, you have to call her Slavic. Let's do, let's call her Slavic. You know what comes out of the Eastern European countries a lot these days Tennis players, what's coming up, wimbledon, oh that's coming, isn't it? Eastern European men are just dominating, just like Korean women dominate golf, now for LPGA.
Speaker 2Same thing. I find it quite interesting that I'm watching the women's basketball. You like it?
Speaker 1don't you? Oh yeah, there is one extra thing, don't you?
Speaker 2Oh yeah, there is one extra thing, I know you, oh God, nice bounce, nice bounce.
Speaker 1Oh God, you said. Jekyll go home to the basket. Oh God, he said like. If only my basketball, I'd be in heaven.
Speaker 2But the thing of it is, the popularity and viewership is up through the roof.
Discussion on Sports, Marketing, and Offensiveness
Speaker 1These people? Yeah, just in time. Our aces here in Las Vegas have won the WNBA title two years in a row and now all this attention is being focused on WNBA because of Caitlin Clark. We absolutely suck this year. We have a losing record. I mean, we're not used to that crap here. Last year we lost like a total of two games. All year We've lost seven. Already We've won six. What in the hell has happened to these women? I've got attention to stuff.
Speaker 2Well, they didn't get Caitlin Clark. See, they should have got her. They're probably happy about that.
Speaker 1She's getting a lot of shit from all the other players apparently Exactly Because all of a sudden it's a sport dominated by shall we say we talked about earlier black women. No, by African-American women. Okay, so here comes Whitey. I'll say it's like, it's like she's the god gives the basketball. There's a lot of good players in the wmba. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's worth watching. Like angel reese, who was also drafted in the first round, it came out at lsu. They call her the black barbie because she like wears a lot of makeup, the guy lashes, she likes to look good and play basketball. She's tall girl, she looks beautiful and she's going what the heck? What about me? What about the rest of us? You know we're good players too. You know we're the shit too. What's the deal with her? So she's a big nike contract man because, you know, wmba player, their average salary is like, yeah, 90, 95, 000. You know, for it's.
Speaker 2It's a joke yeah, for for that kind of thing. Yeah, that's definitely.
Speaker 1Yeah, they can make all the money they want on sponsorship, image likeness, all that stuff, but no one threw big money at any of these players until Caitlin Clark came out. She's just a rookie, yeah, and she just cleaned up all that stuff too.
Speaker 2The team she plays on sucks Well, never mind. The whole idea was to get into the wnba, make some money, then well retire, yep it's easy.
Speaker 1Our aces are really fun to watch. Every game is sold out. Uh, kate and clark's coming to town, I think, in july. Games long since been sold out, you know. Uh, hey, what could bobby lose to it? We're losing everybody. You know what's happening. We absolutely suck. You know, and some of the women on the Aces have got some decent endorsement deals. One has her own sneaker coming out next year, which is great. Yeah, cool With the way they're playing, adidas will go. Where are you taking back that shoe? Backtrack real fast. That's right, you play like a pro. We will give you your shoe back. It's just, I don't know what's going on with it. Hey, you know, I watch, I watch.
Speaker 2I just thought we were talking earlier, changing the subject just a tad. Well, at least I don't want to talk about sports anymore. I know you, yeah Well, you've run me dry, man, that's all I know. But no, we were talking about the artwork that you would occasionally see on a website. Yes, you would notice how it changes every once in a while and we're thinking I know most people like it. Not everybody likes it, obviously, you'll never like everybody, but a lot of people. What was that? Hang on, I looked down for a second. You were waving what in the air? I have an.
Speaker 1Amazon here with a delivery. I just tell them where to put it. Oh, tell them where to put it. Thank you, oh, hey, all right, they can walk in the studio anytime they want.
Speaker 2Okay, sure, by all means. So the original cancelled radio guys, which is what you're listening to, and we've negated to mention that about four times. Anyhow, we like our logo and there's possibilities it might change. But if you'd like to drop us an email at chrisancostello at yahoocom, you can just say, yes, we like them, no, we don't. Would you like a corporate look or would you like a kind of fun Chris and Costello look, which is what it is.
Speaker 1I kind of like the logo we have and stuff. I actually like we have a new slogan because we have these two new guys who are our new marketing, taking over our show. They're from France, they're coneheads from France. They love our slogan. We are equal opportunity offenders.
Speaker 2Equal opportunity offenders. We see all and we offend all. Equal opportunity offenders. Equal opportunity offenders yes.
Speaker 1We see all and we offend all.
Speaker 2We do that. We've managed to pretty much spread our offense all around the globe today, haven't we.
Speaker 1Well, I would say today we haven't been all that offensive at all. We brought up some things that could be offensive, but we didn't cross the line, we weren't totally offensive. We were good boys today. I must say we actually were good boys. We were good boys today.
Speaker 2I must say we actually were good boys. We were. I think it's the presence of video no, not a bit. I care less, I know, I know it just makes me feel like you can look and see who's saying those horrible things. It's this guy. When I next see him, let's go.
Speaker 1It's time to put that bag back over your head. I just thought today we just weren't as offensive, and that's okay. Some days are like that and I promise folks that'll never happen on this show again Next week. We're going to be offensive and really some pissed people off okay. Yeah, it's okay. We apologize for the non-offensiveness of the show today.
Speaker 2It was very non-fucking-fensive.
Speaker 1Oh what a giveaway that's not offensive anymore either.
Speaker 2No, it doesn't does it. What are we supposed to say now, then?
Speaker 1It's like when I give Liz a hard time about being a fat pig. You know, it's just. You know people go oh, you're body shaming, and she's going I'm body proud, I'm body shaming. People go oh, you're body shaming, and she's going. I'm body proud, body shaming. You know what it's like. There was a woman last month and they did a big, big tribute to her who was one of the people who made it to the top five on one season of American Idol. Everyone liked her. She was an African-American black woman and she made a career in singing. You know gospel, christian music and stuff, but she was heavy, okay.
Speaker 1And she died last month at 47. Cause of death was obesity. The coroner said obesity killed her. So I'm going. You can say body shame all you want, but you want to be dead before 50? Go ahead and walk around and go. I'm body proud and soon you'll be dead and everyone's going to bypass. That's the whole point. We talk about it. We're not body shaming you. I'm just saying why do you want to be that way and die?
Speaker 2You're a lardos, donald Sutherland died today 88 years old.
Speaker 1Healthy slender man. 88 years old Jimmy Carter is one year shy of 100. Works outside active guy. Slender guy. 99 years old. Jimmy Carter is one year shy of 100. Works outside Active guy. Slender guy 99 years old. Name me a fat person in their 80s. I mean, just name me one. Play the Jeopardy music. Can't think of anybody who's fat you just can't.
Speaker 2No, no, absolutely they don't make it. Hey, I'll tell you what I just found here. Hang on a second here I was looking yes mr exhibit well no, I was looking.
Speaker 1There's nothing wrong with us if people take that. It helps you lose the weight. Okay, who would? Who would be against that? I'm? Not well, you're not.
Speaker 2It's helpful so do you remember, since we got a whole lot of new people listening to us now. Do you remember this? I just found this thing of Lizzo that we used to play every once in a while. I thought maybe this would be a good time to play it now. Always a good time for a Lizzo thing.
Speaker 2I love this particular thing. Actually, let's do it, okay, doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it. The original cancelled radio guide. That's a good thing. They didn't stick it up her ass, isn't it? I mean, you know, up her vagina. That was coming next.
