The cancelLed guys.(NEW NAME) Chris and Costello: SEASON 1
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).
The cancelLed guys.(NEW NAME) Chris and Costello: SEASON 1
Boomer Banter and Celebrity Memories: School Stories and Vegas Visions
Is transitioning from radio to a visual podcast medium like trying to teach old dogs new tricks? As radio veterans, we're finding out one lighting mishap at a time! Join us as we humorously navigate this new terrain, sharing tales of camera disasters and lighting that makes us question if our studio is haunted. Get ready for a laugh as we reveal how this new adventure is reshaping our approach while keeping our beloved baby boomer topics alive.
In a playful twist, we fantasize about post-election parties in Vegas while honoring the legacies of iconic figures like John Amos and Maggie Smith. And yes, there's even a weirdly catchy song reference and a playful debate on British terminology. Remember Maggie's wit or Pete Rose's fastball? We sure do! From the bizarre to the nostalgic, our discussions on societal changes and celebrity legacies will make you chuckle and reflect.
As we wrap up, prepare yourself for some school tales involving teachers and their quirky discipline methods. The conversation swings from the controversial Formula One Grand Prix in Vegas to the enduring appeal of New Kids on the Block and the improbable country music success of Machine Gun Kelly. With gratitude, we thank our loyal listeners, offering a sneak peek into our future shows. Tune in and stay connected because the laughter and stories are just getting started!

So my camera, though, is like on top of my screen, so even though I may be looking at you, it may look like it's coming down on me, you know.

Speaker 2:I got the same setup on mine. It's somehow ugly. That's good, right there.
Speaker 1:I'm having to hold it.
Speaker 2:Well, as we have discussed before, the podcast is supposed to be audio only. At least that was my understanding when we started. People want to see stuff, you know.
Speaker 1:So, again, it's a visual thing now too. Now, how do I put this thing back up again? Okay, I have no idea what the hell I'm doing. Okay, we can tell.
Speaker 2:Okay, camera two, camera two.

Speaker 2:Now you get the light and you can make the light come through. Do you have the ring light there?
Speaker 1:How's that? More Is it different Go blue, let me win, I'm clicking.
Speaker 2:Keep going. I know you're kind of a nice orange color anyway, but right now you're bright orange, that's better.
Speaker 1:That's like doing bright, I think.
Speaker 2:Well, it changes the color temperature. I'm orange.
Speaker 1:Oh shit. What is this Halloween?
Speaker 2:Well, we'll go with that, all right, ladies and gentlemen, you've just got to understand that Chris has been unwell recently.
Speaker 1:How's that? That's not bad. It's not bad. Does that look orange?
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:Well, I'm pushing the stupid button?
Speaker 2:What button are you pushing? How about that one? Ah, there, that's perfect. You had it perfect for a second there.
Speaker 1:What me in the dark? You like that, ah, ah ah.
Speaker 2:Now you just look wicked.
Speaker 1:You've got bags under your eyes I know I don't know where those come from. That's a bad light.
Speaker 2:That's still bad.
Speaker 1:It's lighting man let me turn the botox light back on.
Speaker 2:Oh crap okay, there you go, all right that's as good as it's gonna get.
Speaker 1:I don't know what it's doing so well, I can tell it's the. It is the blue light, I think it's probably the. The way the paint is in the wall behind me just feeds off that and gives you that color. So I don't know. There's two of them just naturally beautifully tanned. I am Mr Melanoma, well you are.
Speaker 2:This is true. You are a darkie.
Speaker 1:Maybe we should hit the. He's not really a southern boy at all. I'm a son of the south, a southern boy at all. I'm a son of the south. I'm a son of the south. I can sound like it, but you look at me and go.
Speaker 2:I'm the son of the south and he ever let on. He's actually Mexican.
Speaker 1:You look more like a redneck than I do.
Speaker 2:I was thinking about how much this place has rubbed off on me since I've been here for two years. Have you not been outside?
Speaker 1:in a couple of months I haven't been outside. You're like a damn albino man. Look at you. You're white as can be.
Speaker 2:My neighbor came down, the one who lives a couple of houses up. He's a young man, he's got a couple of kids and a wife and he's been very good to me. They helped me out when I was poorly last year and I couldn't be whiter. He said have you ever been outside? It was amazing. I'm not that bad, but I shall be going out here soon.
Speaker 1:You look pretty white. Look at me, look at you, look at the skin tone.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, european, something that you haven't admitted to yet.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I tell you, this is your light. I mean, I look dark, a little bit orange, and you look. I look Trumpy tan and you're white as can be. I guess you're getting ready for Halloween. You're going to be Dracula, ah ah, ah, there we go.
Speaker 2:It's better without a light today.
Speaker 1:Southern Dracula. So you go to bite. You have to bite to the grease, you know. So it'd be different. Ah yeah, to bite to the grease you know, so it'd be different.
Speaker 2:Ah yeah, fabulous, Fabulous, you know.
Speaker 1:We had to cover the good news, I guess, first. Right, because we always talk about stuff that sometimes is all the best. I mean, yesterday I thought it was pretty cool being a Georgia boy, president Carter having his 100th birthday yesterday that's right In the backyard. The Jets had a flyover and stuff. No, I did that. His quality of life kind of sucked, but he goes. I don't care about the birthday, I just want to live long enough to vote for Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2:That's what he said, I said I hope you do, man, I hope you do. He can do early voting. He's probably thinking if I vote, then I'll die.
Speaker 1:So I mean we're proud. A lot of people think he wasn't maybe not the best president. I think he gets beat up a little bit too much over that. Who cares? Talk about a quality human being. I mean you can't get a better guy than President Jimmy Carter. The work he's done since then you know in the Habitat for Humanity, trying to cure disease and famine all over the world, make sure people have housing. He worked at it.
Speaker 2:He actually did the work for as long as he could up to about 95, 96 years old. Yeah, I mean, it wasn't just lip service, I mean he really was.
Speaker 1:No, he got out there and did it. He was just a great human being, just 100 years old. So we're happy for you, sir.
Speaker 2:Yeah, happy 100th. I don't know too many get there.
Speaker 1:Happy belated birthday. I was about 15 years away from get there. Happy belated birthday.
Speaker 2:Castello's, about 15 years away from being there, so Well as you know actually.
Speaker 1:I'm coming up for an anniversary myself.
Speaker 2:What, what anniversary Since we went and started a new life, got my second chance, oh you're talking about, since you had your triple quadruple thing thing, bypass and semi-arterial roundabout.
Speaker 1:That's what's been a slow recovery for you, because you're down there right next to South Carolina. They put probably a pig valve here, a chicken artery there, you know a horse doodah over here, and it's just like you just go, man, it's all working together.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they put a horse doodah down there too. You hope they did, man that cost me.
Speaker 1:I got one from the horse. That's why I guess you can tell there's other good news too as well, too. I don't know if you watched the vice presidential debate at all last night. Some people thought it was really boring, because it was actually because they covered policies. They were nice to each other.
Speaker 1:There was a moment where Waltz could have jumped on the falsehoods that Vance was saying, and probably vice versa as well too. He missed some opportunities. I thought he even said from the start I'm not a great debater he was kind of nervous, but he got a little stronger at the end when he zinged him about. So are you going to admit that he lost the election? He wouldn't do it. I went oh, that's what I've been waiting for. Instead of being Mr Smooth, I'm trying to be polished, like me. After all, jd Vance, the true part came out at the end. There. He said what Mike Pence wouldn't do. He said he would do and he would not admit that they lost the election.
Speaker 1:I go oh man, it took 90 minutes into it for the good stuff to come out. Then it was over. So that was good, but it was civil. They were teaching his wife, teaching each other. That's the way things used to be. That's what we want to see again. Do I really think that way? Personally, no, I think you want to convey that niceness because everyone thinks he's a weirdo and his likability, his favorability rating is so low and we want to keep it that way yeah, well, I do think he's a slimy git personally.
Speaker 2:He just exactly yeah slimy git uh, I thought it was. They were very polite, it got a little. It was kind of a little boring really, I mean. But then again, but you won't hear about him once the election's over, if we think boring.
Speaker 1:That means we want to do the slander and the name-calling stuff because you know who. It's kind of flipped it that way. So let's don't think that way. We've got to think back and go. Let's be civil, like it used to be Professional, and disagree with stuff, but they can still be nice to each other. It's kind of like things should be now. It's like if we run into a Trumper, I'm just going to go. Well, that's how you feel. It makes you happy, you believe in him, good for you, and still be nice to the person. As I walk away, I'll go, you stupid loser. I'm just kidding. Oh, I'm just putting my sister. Hang on. See, we're both smiling, we're both smiling.
Speaker 2:Now the problem. I just noticed that if I look at the camera, I can't look down to see whether I'm looking in the right place. I'm now looking at the camera.
Speaker 1:You're supposed to be looking at me and I'm looking at you, that's well. Or if we're doing the TV thing, then we're looking straight into the camera, like that I guess. So if that's I'm talking to you, I guess I'll have to look up at the camera. I'm at the camera If I look at it, my eyeballs look down what do I want to talk about next? Here it goes right down there. That's my eyeball doing that. I want to keep sis happy she's the director and producer of this show.
Speaker 2:I'll pick up in the thing.
Speaker 1:Your sis is the director and producer of this show. I'm going to do a hiccup in the thing. Your sister is the director of the show. I'm only listening.
Speaker 2:I'm only listening now, yeah is she listening, okay?
Speaker 1:So anyway, it's a debate Kind of boring Civil. I like that. We know the two main people, the main guys is far from civil, never will be. So it was kind of a nice change last night. It's a one and done anyways.
Speaker 2:It's okay, you know. Yeah, yeah, it wasn't too bad. I still think, you know, keep saying it's razor thin, it's razor thin. You know the difference between that. And then they say, well, in these, what do they call them states? There's a terminology. They use Swing states, Swing states or battlefield states, Underground states.
Speaker 1:Swing states Must have states Well Swing states or battlefield states, underground states Swing states, must-have states.
Speaker 2:Well, that might be the truth there, but I have a feeling you're all going to be really surprised to find out that it's not that close of a race.
Speaker 1:I hope you're right. I think maybe they're saying it's a poultice-hole type. Maybe it's not a bad thing to say it that way because it'll make people go out and vote because they're going. It's that close, I better vote because they're going. Is that close, I better vote because my vote's going to count.
Speaker 2:I got to get out there and do it, so there's a big question.
Speaker 1:This is why I'm going to embarrass Costello. I'm voting and you're not, because you still, after all these years, are not an American citizen.
Speaker 2:That's right. And you still have the electoral college. Get rid of that. I'll vote that simple.
Speaker 1:Like we don't want to. It's never going to go away. It's getting an early part of the Constitution. It's never going to go bye-bye.
Speaker 2:It should. I almost got rid of it.
Speaker 1:It's easy to do. Personally, most votes wins. That's the way it should be.
Speaker 2:Well, I suppose, maybe I will. I mean, one day I might get around to it.
Speaker 1:But the most votes will pay off because you know, because if you win those swing states with a popular vote, you get the electoral votes. I mean, it's just there you go. You should Some states have more electoral votes than others. You know, all those ones in the middle of the country, mid-america or Trump areas, those are small numbers of electoral votes. Arkansas's got three, nebraska's got three, kansas has like four, then you've got Texas like 55. That's a big Trumpy type state. Then you've got California. That's common. She's got California huge, new York huge. So she builds her numbers through that. So we'll see, we'll see. I hope you're right. Everybody go vote, we'll all be happy. At the end we're going to have a big Kristen Costello post-election party.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, we'll invite everybody. Everybody can come here to South Carolina. Well, do you want nobody?
Speaker 1:to show up. We'll do it here in Colorado or Vegas instead. Are you kidding me? Oh, there you go. Yeah, let's do it in Vegas. We'll do it this time. Let's do it in Vegas. We're going to have a big and the other person wins.
Speaker 2:Where do we go? Yeah, everybody, okay, everybody moves on their own self One way or the other.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I said to my wife last night, if it just happened to turn out because there's always that possibility If the idiot wins I'm not going to watch the news for four years. Last time I was so stressed out I looked at my phone, turned on TV. It was something he was doing every day, something he turn on TV, something he was doing every day, something he was saying every day, something he was defending. I can't go through that again. I'm just going to cut the news cycle off and just not pay attention so I don't have to deal with whatever it is he's doing, which is not going to be good.
Speaker 2:so it was a hit. I remember that. I remember that very well, Weird Al liked it, he goes.
Speaker 1:I like that, so I'm only good for one song. You keep going yeah, that's right. Really, barbarian is like bum bum, bum, bum bum. I ran Bum bum, bum, bum bum you made me do that too, so I'll bring my song back out All right there's a big wobbly here.
Speaker 4:Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. I ran Bom-Bom-Bom-Bom-I-Rin. A country's got a feelin' really in the ceiling. Bom-bom-bom-bom-i-rin. Went to a mosque gonna throw some rocks. Tell the Ayatollah, gonna put you in a box. Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-i-rin, a country's got a feelin' really in the ceiling. Bom-bom-bom-bom-i-rin.
Speaker 1:Sad week for all baby boomers. I mean, people are dropping like flies this week, you know.
Speaker 2:Yes, they are.
Speaker 1:Some are old and it's okay because they had a good long life. Some, I think, had it earlier. I don't know. There's John Amos. I love John Amos. What a great actor he was in that show, good Times. He had to deal with Jimmy JJ Walker, dangly mate when he left the show. After a couple years he goes. I can't deal with this bastard anymore. I had that prick on my show once. He thought his shit didn't stink. He was just rude. He was awful. He went to the show. I said I'm not going to be nice during the show. You're an asshole. I cut him off 10 seconds. I said get off. He was at some comedy club that night. He was an asshole. Amos is also the elder Kunta Kinte in Roots. They were in a favorite role when he played Mr McDowell in Coming to America. He goes I'm not McDonald's, I'm McDowell's. Remember.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm, I saw the clip today. You haven't seen that movie. Oh yeah, it was a long time ago. How could you? It's a classic. I saw it when it came out. In fact, I watched it. It was on reruns a couple of months ago and I watched it.
Speaker 1:Well, john Amos died in LA but he was here in Colorado for a while. He actually played. He went to school at Colorado State, tried to play a little college football, tried to go to the pros. He got injured. So that ended that. And the coach of the Chiefs at that time he was the Kansas City Chief, he didn't have a home for it. Hank Stram told me he goes, you're not a football player, son, you'd be better off in the entertainment industry. And he just kind of led him that way and off he went. So that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1:I think John was like 86, something like that 86, 88. Yep, Then one you can relate to would be Maggie Smith, okay. Oh yeah, yes, I knew it. You bring up an English woman, oh yeah.
Speaker 5:She's not from the.
Speaker 1:I'm going to have an English woman. Oh yeah, oh, that's right, I said the English thing. No, I know what that is. 89, classy lady, great actress. Most people remember her being in the Harry Potter movies, but she did so much before that.
Speaker 2:Oh, a lot of stuff before that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, she did great in screen Downton Abbey, wasn't she in that too?
Speaker 2:Yeah, she was the all kinds of things on british tv way, way back.
Speaker 1:I mean, obviously she goes back to the beginning of it pretty much. Can you answer something for me? Okay, why is it not called downtown abbey? Why is it downton abbey? Is that just an english way to say downtown downton?
Speaker 2:we don't use the term downtown in england. That's first of all what use. Well, you have a high street. It's like you don't have downtown London.
Speaker 1:Well, what's Downton Abbey? What does that mean?
Speaker 2:Well, the name of the people who originally bought it or had it built were probably the Downton. That was probably. The last name was Downton, oh, okay.
Speaker 1:I said what the hell is that I never watched it?
Speaker 2:Well, isn't it spelled T-O-.
Speaker 1:I don't know. I don't know. That's a tough question, I don't know. Okay, let's go. Maggie was 89. Good long life. Great actress, great lady. So just like, as far as you know, as you get baby boomers, I said it's going to become a point. All these rock stars are like going to be in the 80s. Ringo's 82. Paul McCartney like 80. It's just like it's inevitable. Don't want it to happen. Pretty soon it'll be like some of these old folks will disappear and you won't see them. They get too old to do anything. You see Jack Nicholson anymore. Nope, no. Santa Fe, new Mexico. Someone sent me a picture of him. Jimmy Carter type. Look, I'm going. If I'm going to look like that at 90, maybe I don't want to go that far, but we'll see how we do. Yeah, yeah, we'll still be doing this podcast at 90 years old. Wait a minute.
Speaker 1:Drool, drool there'll be a hand coming in to mop the drool you're not an athlete, but I have to pay a little homage to this guy. He's a Vegas resident. He was all the disgraced. Famous athletes die in Vegas, OJ, and now you have Pete Rose.
Speaker 2:Pete Rose. Yeah, Boy, there's a lot of them this week, isn't?
Speaker 1:there. My goodness, yeah, pete was 82, 83. The video of him just hanging out with his friends just a week ago he's in low 80s. I didn't know he had any health. He died in his sleep. He was diabetic. He had heart issues, cardiac issues. Oh, okay, I found him. Pete, get up, pete, let's go. Pete, get up. Oh shit, he's like no. So he lived in Vegas like OJ. It's controversial, frigging awesome. I watched him growing up I'm being an Atlantaves fan. He had that hitting streak going for a bit, 44 games straight with getting a hit. He ended in Atlanta. He's going they preach me like it was the World Series. We don't want you, it's our job to get you out, man. The streak ended in Atlanta. I appreciate him as a great baseball player. As a human I don't know. I saw him one day sitting at the Legacy Sports store in the forum shops there outside of caesar's palace right, which he did frequently. He'd be sitting there signing a baseball, a jersey, whatever you want. He's sitting there by himself. I didn't know him paying to walk by.
Speaker 1:that's pete and you know he's like three times a week signing out. He's got more autographs out there than probably any athlete, so I would say that's probably not worth that much because there's so many. So I walked up and I decided I said hi, pete, he goes. Are you buying a baseball or something? I said no, I'm just saying hi, he goes. Well, I'm talking to you, that's your mindset. I went okay.
Speaker 3:Get your bag from Las Vegas too.
Speaker 1:He said he had that sports toy. He would not even converse with you unless you're going to spend some money on something that he could put in his pocket.
Speaker 2:We lost another really cool person. That's Chris Christopherson. He was 88. How cool.
Speaker 2:He was great. I told you that I worked on a movie with him. It wasn't a big production but it was big enough and we had a little banter going on way back when I used to do this thing called what was it called? Video assist is what I was. I was the video assist guy, whereas I'd have a cable going to the big film camera and it would record it as video which is how long ago it was, so they could look at the shot immediately. So I'm sitting next to the likes of Tim Burton just all kinds of people. But anyway, I ended up working with him and he was lovely. He was an absolute gem.
Speaker 1:He's a great songwriter, great actor. He's a Rhodes Scholar.
Speaker 3:He gives the country bumpkins?
Speaker 1:No, he's a Rhodes scholar. He gives the country. Bumpkins no, he's a roadster smart guy. You know? Yeah, okay, I don't know. Anybody didn't like chris gossard, so he was 88 years old so he died in his place in maui, hawaii. So, oh, hey hey, I'll be. I'll be going there in january oh, you may die in your sleep, so try to stay awake while you're there the whole time. That's how all these people die. They all die in their sleep.
Speaker 2:We can't just call it this week.
Speaker 1:If I know that I'm going to be afraid to go to sleep, I'd like to wake up. Sure, they did too. So yeah, there's also another athlete way too young he's only 56 years old.
Speaker 1:And he was drafted number one a few years ago by the Denver Nuggets and he was just the greatest guy. He's not so much. He's one of those guys who was a better human than he was like a basketball player, kind of like Jimmy Carter was. He was a better human than he was at the present Dikembe Mutombo. I mean he was like oh, oh, I see that human than it was the president Kimbe Mutombo. I mean he was like, oh, he's from the Congo man. He made millions. He gave away. Probably 90% of his money went back into where he was from. I mean he wanted to build schools, athletic stuff, to take care of the kids there. He just gave and gave and gave, didn't care about it. He said I'll just keep it up just a little bit. I'm going to give the rest back.
Speaker 1:Right right, that's the way it should be. And today a 3D athlete gimme, gimme, gimme, pay me, pay me, pay me, and then they share and don't do anything to give back. He was the ultimate give backer. Everyone loved him. That's cool. It was a sad day. They traded more. He played for six to teams, you know, because he just yeah, it was a good bargaining chip. He made millions and he gave away millions. So only 56 years old he had brain cancer. I don't think anybody knew he had brain cancer. That was the, I guess the only shock. Only his middle 50s. He died very young.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I had a friend die at that about probably about the same age, I think there in Las Vegas. That's a rotten way to go, but let's not dwell on that.
Speaker 1:I feel like face the case of yeah, you put an up-tempo song there and I got to do the damn death dedication. It's like to me how many are gone this week. It's just like, oh, love him, oh, love him, oh, love him. Like him as a baseball player, prick human being, but just you know, love ball.
Speaker 2:Ladies and gentlemen, it's in memoriam, with the original Cancel.
Speaker 1:Radio guys. I hope you find the appropriate music to play in the background, like Casey Kasem would say don't play a goddamn up song when I'm doing death dedications. Oops, I've done it again, or we could play the jelly roll, hey.
Speaker 2:He's in Everything Something about him. He's going to be or maybe he's just going to be on some TV show.
Speaker 3:He's everywhere.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I like the song Not Okay, which is true for those folks we talked about, because they're dead. So not okay now. You're not okay, you're dead. But the two most overexposed people. I think right now you can add to it if you've got someone else, costello is freaking. Travis Kelsey Way overexposed, way overexposed and. Jelly Roll.
Speaker 2:They're freaking everywhere, you know what the Kelsey brothers have their own cereal, what their own cereal?
Speaker 3:Yeah, you know what it's called.
Speaker 1:What's it called?
Speaker 2:Overexposed. It's called Kelsey's Yum Yums or something I think.
Speaker 1:Tired of you now Yum.
Speaker 2:Yums, it's probably worth picking up a packet and never opening it and putting it somewhere, and one day it'll be worth a fortune.
Speaker 1:It was a brand-new cereal named after this. Yes, they have Time out, it's for your sister.
Speaker 2:No, it's those idiots in Texas that will not leave me alone.
Speaker 1:It's your sister break. Get up there, castillo. We're doing a sister break. There we go, pay attention, we're doing a sister break.
Speaker 2:There we are. We got rid of them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, look at the camera and smile. We're doing a sister break. Get up Doing a sister break.
Speaker 2:Talking of sisters. Okay, I don't know, this will probably get me ostracized, but it doesn't really matter. My daughters have three half-sisters, okay.
Speaker 1:And as far as I know, you couldn't give them a whole sister.
Speaker 2:No, only a half. Couldn't afford the other half. Only half. Okay, One of them, right? I guess we'll leave it relatively. One of them decided to be non-binary, which means they don't live with either male or female.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:So she had a hysterectomy. She's under 30, which I thought was ridiculous. I'll be quite honest with you, but you didn't have a hysterectomy, and then she had a mastectomy, a double mastectomy. I was like, well, I would strap them down and go through that, but anyway, so what's left?
Speaker 2:So then I'm reading well, nothing, you know, put some hair on there, I suppose. But here's the thing. So I said to one of my other daughters oh so that means she's going for the sex change then. And that particular daughter got really pissed off. I mean, you can't say that. And blah, blah, blah. And I said well, okay, maybe that is stupid if they're non-binary. Well then, come to look at something on Facebook. Her father is now calling them him, and he Did she go get a wanker?
Speaker 2:Well, that was the question. I mean, are you going to go do that? I didn't ask that.
Speaker 1:You've got to ask that man. The last thing is did she get a wanker poodle?
Speaker 2:No, not yet. Maybe that's Christmas, I don't know. I wish her the best.
Speaker 1:It's called dick in a box, okay.
Speaker 2:Otherwise known as a hot dog. But you know, what used to annoy me was when they'd be talking, and they all did this because they're all in Portland and Seattle, so this is kind of like the headquarters of all this stuff. You know, to be politically correct, you have to say they or them. Now, if you're having a conversation with someone, they or them. So I would say, instead of saying Chris, I say they. Now you're thinking there's like four people involved.
Speaker 1:You're calling a singular person, you're calling them they. That's like a group.
Speaker 2:Exactly, and them, so that apparently is not an issue anymore. Now it's he.
Speaker 1:Maybe they got more than one wanker. I mean it's just, they put on a double.
Speaker 2:There was a teacher who got fired because they wouldn't do it. No, you're a he or a she. It's not a political thing. You're one or the other. Pick one or the other who said that that was in a news report somewhere.
Speaker 1:That's me saying who said pick one or the other, did you say, or was that what somebody else said?
Speaker 2:No, that's what I'm saying. That's what you say. Okay, that's what I say, but if listen, that's what I think Trump would say.
Speaker 1:Pick one or the other. You have to be what you're naturally born with it's.
Speaker 2:you can change that if you want. That's fine, I don't care. But I mean, then it's going all the way to be non-binary, because now you don't, you don't have anything that really says you're male or female. Well, of course you still have certain things left, I'm sure, but um, I would say, you'd probably you're, you're an it well, yeah, yeah, well then you would be, except because your brain was born female and that will never change.
Speaker 1:It came over today and it just left Cousin.
Speaker 2:It.
Speaker 1:Yeah, cousin it, there you go. What is he or she? You don't know, right.
Speaker 2:It's like a freaking landmine out there. It's like, oh, what do I call her? Not her original name? Well, we learned that a while back. Okay, it's them. Well, they.
Speaker 1:I like it Cousin. Yes, cousin it. Oh, it's yeah, fair enough. Sister it, cousin it, mommy it, whatever, just it Wow.
Speaker 2:It said, that's pretty rough, though I guess you know I'm just thinking as a baby boomer. Now, I mean, this is something we never, ever even thought of. Well as, baby boomers.
Speaker 1:We're more open to it than our parents would have been. Holy crap that would have been. They'd take it to a shrink or something and go straighten him out. He can't be gay. He can't be gay, whatever. Something's mentally wrong with you. So it's, of course, mostly, I would say, acceptable today by most.
Speaker 2:I just, you know, it just kind of made me wonder how many people out there have had to deal with this. Probably not that many, I mean, if you have a gay daughter More than you think, probably so. Well, it seems everybody I know has a gay daughter or a gay son yeah, of which I do, and then I think at least one more of her half sisters is now gay.
Speaker 2:I think Like racking up more than the average family. Yeah Well, you know, you've got five kids. At least one of them is probably going to be gay.
Speaker 1:Let's just ask about our producer, your sister. Wait a minute, sister break Smiling.
Speaker 2:Is your sister gay sister no, I'm just checking you got something in your family.
Speaker 3:I'm checking.
Speaker 2:No sister gay, no, I like that no stupid or maybe I mean, if we were all born 30 years later, maybe, maybe.
Speaker 1:I mean it always changed later in life. You know, you're young, 80 years old, based on the generation you know, finally coming out, finally being my true self. Some people do it after 50, after 60, you know so.
Speaker 2:I just thought it was something I thought about. Well, maybe you shouldn't talk about this one. No, maybe we should.
Speaker 1:Yeah, of course we should you bet we should? We cover everything. Man, what's her name? Maybe we're equal opportunity offenders? We cover everything.
Speaker 2:So now this individual is now he. So I'm just wondering if he is going to change her name To what? Her name? No, I think we'll go that far. Give it some anonymity. Her name, I don't think we'll go that far, Give it some anonymity, but you know her name is. You know, was she changed it to a kind of bisexual name? Either way, Do you know what it is? No, yeah, of course I do, but I don't think I'm going to say that Well, give me an idea.
Speaker 1:What would a bisexual name be?
Speaker 2:Well, I don't know what that would be. Jamie would be one. It could be male or female.
Speaker 1:Jamie, that's just what comes to mind. My daughter's name could be that. Her name is Danielle, but she goes by Danny. Yeah, the A&I, you could go either way with that. Okay, I see what you mean. All right, okay, yeah, so I run the topic of gay family members. Did you watch the Ellen DeGeneres special on Netflix? Was she making a comeback? She said this is her last stand-up comedy thing ever. Did you see it?
Speaker 2:Oh, I remember the talking about it.
Speaker 1:So she's done Netflix. I watched it and it's like she's Trying to explain or explain off the fact that she was mean. The employees who worked there Didn't like it at all because they're saying she's not owning up To it still, and she did not, she just made jokes about it. I mean, you know she said she's got a lot against her because she's old, she's gay, she's ancient. Now she's old, she's gay and she's mean. She goes that's a trifecta I'm old, gay and mean. So you know, all three she's the only specific.
Speaker 1:The parts are funny, but I guess the people who went through it, you know, and she didn't own up to it, they go. She still doesn't get it, so they would know, know more than we would. But he was making a joke about how it used to be a fun workplace. You like to play tag? I chased the employees around, tag you're in, do this because you know what. After explaining it that way, it does sound kind of bad, does it? I'm chasing employees and tag you're in and hiding and scaring them and stuff. You know, it seemed like fun at the time when I thought, think about it and talk about it. Maybe it didn't come across so well, you know, but the ex-employers are going. It was a lot worse than that. It's more than tag and scaring people, it's just the overall vibe that she, she belittled people and treat them like crap and just yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2:So well, some people think that's kind of funny and endearing to do that, um, but they, they didn't live to.
Speaker 1:That was that that was. She was their boss and it just it was a bad, bad workplace environment. So she said she goes. Her old joke is I've been canceled again. I've been canceled a couple of times. I was canceled because I came out as gay, I was canceled because I was mean, and now I'm canceled because I'm old.
Speaker 2:So there you go. Welcome to the club, the canceled club.
Speaker 1:Well, we're two out of three Old and we're not mean, you know.
Speaker 3:Hmm, and my game is not that I know of.
Speaker 2:I think I would know. Maybe I don't know, it wouldn't matter you call me they or them.
Speaker 1:Whatever you are, jimmy, you're just tell them, no matter which way you swing, it doesn't matter to me. That's right, damn it. Do you feel that way about your daughter? Is it the same way about mine? Whatever way they want to go, you love them the same.
Speaker 2:Oh, absolutely.
Speaker 1:Parents' generation. They kick you out of the house and go. What the hell happened to you? I raised you right. What do you mean? You're gay. Get the hell out.
Speaker 2:What do you mean? You're gay.
Speaker 3:It's just different.
Speaker 1:now it's like you know, I see parents now and their kids go oh dad, dad, love you dad, let's go play dad dad. You know it's different. When we were growing up it was like oh shit, dad. Oh dad's a good dad. It's like I'm terrified.
Speaker 2:There was a cartoon by Hanna-Barbera that was called Wait Till your Father Gets Home, and you know what the dad in it looked very much like Richard Nixon.
Speaker 5:I thought I love my mom and dad, and my brothers too, and the groovy way we get along. Every time the slightest little thing goes wrong, mom starts to sing this familiar song Wait till your father gets, until your father gets. Wait till your father gets home. Dad's not so bad and he seldom gets mad and we aren't about to desert him. Kids today like to have their own way, and what Daddy doesn't know won't hurt him. I think my mom's just swell, but she starts to yell Every time we have a fuss. Just wait till your father gets, until your father gets. Wait till your father gets home. See what I mean Wait till your father gets home. We know.
Speaker 1:This is a long time. If I did something that my mom thought was bad and she told my dad one of the two things that happened Either you take the belt off and I wouldn't just sit there and take it. He had to catch me, okay. So I didn't want to take a beating without trying to run away from it or he'd go outside and find a hanky stick, a good piece of wood there, which they used to have in school as well, and he'd come up with that and want to beat me with a stick. Either way, I'm on the move, man, I'm running. So I see belt, I see stick, I'm going. You know, if you have me cornered in the house, I'll go. Here we go. So if you do that now, the kid will call the police. They'll come pick you up and arrest you. You know that's true. I got paddled in school. You know, strangers take me out of the home, beat my butt up. I'm going. I don't know this teacher, he's pissed at me.
Speaker 2:I know I told this story before, but we have so many new listeners. Welcome folks.
Speaker 1:Welcome, it's a sister break. Wait, costello, wait, it's your sister break.
Speaker 2:Okay, I thought I'd join in with that one because my producer happy. Okay, look at the camera and I'm smiling.
Speaker 1:Go ahead.
Speaker 2:Tell the story Go ahead. I was just going to say I did tell this story before, but for those that didn't know, there was a teacher at the school I went to who would be about 11, 12 years old and you'd get the slipper. So what he'd do is he'd get the chalk and he'd put a big round, you'd put a circle on your ass in chalk and then he put an X on the sole of the slipper and he wouldn't stop whacking you until he got the X in the circle. Nice guy.
Speaker 1:Dang.
Speaker 2:I used to get the slipper so often I was immune to it. I mean, go ahead. I had another teacher who used to put push pins in there.
Speaker 1:I was going to say where I'm from, it would be the cleat. They'd take a big amount of cleats. I'm not saying they didn't do that, I'm saying that that'd be where I'm from. They would go to that extreme part if they knew about it. But, man, they'd go to shop and take a baseball bat, flatten out one side, flatten out this side, drill some holes in it for aerodynamics, write tape around it and put a leather handle up on their wrists and they'd wrap their thing around that. And that would be it. Freaking thing hurt like you know. What too, I mean you beat your ass with a baseball bat.
Speaker 3:That's been flattened out.
Speaker 2:They did that.
Speaker 1:Well, maybe it's a good thing we moved on Well to this day. It's why I have a plank butt. It was beat in when I was a kid I had no chance to have a round butt. I beat the crap out of a plank. I got a plank ass because of that White man. Plank ass. No butt Jeans there. What's all that gap in your jeans for? Because I don't have an ass. I was beat by teachers and my father Okay, let's bring back some beds. I gotta go see a therapist. It's really fucked me up.
Speaker 2:They'll smack you. They'll smack you upside the head.
Speaker 1:Who gives a shit about your day? I don't know.
Speaker 2:So what's happening in Vegas right now Is anybody?
Speaker 1:opening any. You know it's just like. It's kind of like In between activity. I guess you know it's kind of like in-between activity. I guess you know what's coming up in November? It's the stupid Grand Prix Formula One race again. Oh what? Again they got a 10-year contract, dude every November for the next nine years. Number two is coming up this November. They have eight more to go, so they're constructing the grandstands. The strip is blocked off, traffic's backed up and it's just locals we hate it.
Speaker 2:We hate it, hate it. Yeah, I'm not surprised. Surely it can't be the mayhem that they had last year. I mean the majority of it's there right?
Speaker 1:I mean the majority of it's there, right? Well then they've got to set it up again, I mean, you know? So they move the trees out from the Bellagio, put the grandstands back, block the strip off. You can't get to the most casinos when it's going on. They lose money. It's just. Everybody hates it. A couple of events I think it's like 10 businesses who filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against the city, clark County, and also Grand Prix sponsors and the race itself for the millions they lost in business because of the stupid Grand Prix race. So they'll win something. I don't think they'll get all their money back. They lost a lot of money and they will again this year. So we hate it.
Speaker 2:I mean Las Vegas is a special case because of the strip, because you know in other places they do this, but it's you know, you haven't got one main area, fiscal area, which the strip would be. I mean you could do this up in Summerlin, it wouldn't matter.
Speaker 1:I know they think I don't know it's just people come for the strip and by blocking it off blocking off access to the casinos and shows when the Grand Prix's on, there's no shows because they go why bother? People can't get to them, so they just cancel them all. Okay, but there was a new residency announced this week. The new kids in the block were in Vegas last week and they announced they started residency in June at the Park. Mgm, are you ready for this? I mean, these guys have sustained power. Okay. After they announced, two hours later, all the shows were sold out. Wow, you think it was a taylor swift thing. I mean, taylor swift was done in 30 seconds. These guys took a couple hours, but they were shocked too. So they came out the next day and said we sold everything out to their surprise. We're adding on more shows. So well, you do that. That's great.
Speaker 1:The new kids were kids before they became what they are now, which is old kids on the block. They were on my show and Donnie Wahlberg wanted to kick my ass. He did not like what I told him. I said proud of you kids. You guys have fun, you're doing great. Enjoy it, because next year it will be new. What New? Who? And he's going. Who are you talking about? I said, guys, you're a young boy band. Your staying power is just not going to be there. You know, meet me outside the show. I'm going to kick your ass. You come out here to the radio and kick my ass. I might just do that. They're going. You have another commitment. I'm going to kick your ass. It was funny as hell. It was great. And of course, the next year that did happen because they'd been around for two years they went bye-bye. But as older adults they found out all these. You know that group behind us, not the boomers. What's the group you call after the boomers? Or the what? Millennials? Gen Z, gen.
Speaker 2:X Gen Z okay.
Speaker 1:Losers, I don't know which one. Anyway, they grew up on them. So when they came back and started doing these reunion tours, they tours. They're doing them together with the Backstreet Boys Together. Damn, they're selling out everywhere. They even did the O2 there in London, so that's like four shows in a row, man. Wow. Now they tour every year. They just got done. When they made the announcement they have a residency, they were just finishing up a 50-city tour that they did this summer that's a lot Spring and the summer and they're busy, busy. So they did this summer that's a lot Spring and the summer, they're busy, busy. They're making more money now than they did when they were naked, it wouldn't surprise me, it's good to be an old kid.
Speaker 1:Give them the money, Pay them the money.
Speaker 4:Oh oh, oh, oh oh. We send love to everybody. If, if you wanna take a chance, just get on the floor and do the new kids dance. Don't worry about nothing, cause it won't take long. We're gonna put you in a trance with a funky song, cause you gotta be stankin' tough, stankin' tough.
Speaker 2:Stankin' tough, we're up, up, up Now. That's cool that they've managed to keep their career going. Who would have thought You're right? Usually two years and you're gone.
Speaker 1:And the music they made. They play that as like a so-called oldie. Four or five years later a new kid song? Hell no, they play them sometimes on satellite radio because they have to. They go deeper. Okay, it's very rare you hear any of their songs, but a lot of people flood to see and hear them in person, who grew up with it. So now some of the satellite stations are playing their music a little bit more. Air Backspeeds play a lot more than New Kids sometimes, but they're playing both. You know they're having like a resurgence and a renaissance. They're back.
Speaker 2:It doesn't happen that often. I mean, I was listening to the radio. As a matter of fact, my satellite subscription has not followed me into the new car, so I'm listening to all the FM stations.
Speaker 1:There's an awful lot of them, which would surprise me, you'll listen to the regular terrestrial radio on FM dial in Columbia, south Carolina. The choices must be stupendous.
Speaker 2:There are way more than I was. Actually, you'd be quite surprised. There's one called Public Radio and they play some great stuff and anyway, they just see what it's they were playing. Remember Lord, yeah, had that great song and it's quite a few years ago. I was just thinking about her. It's like, wow, she was a one hit wonder, that's right, yeah, I bought tickets to give them away, but there you go. Uh, but it was, I was shit 10 years ago, so so there, but it's not somebody like that.
Speaker 1:This so far this summer it's the season of Carpenter and Shabuzy. The bar song yeah, I showed one last week and mostly pop stars run it because they're all crossing the country, you get a resurgence. They had Machine Gun. Kelly won a country award for redoing John Denver's Country Road it's now called lonely road and he did it with who else? Jelly roll, and he never won an award as a pop star Cause he's just like, yeah, but the country gets this first country song he does, he wins award best single and stuff and he's like he looks. He's damn shocked and very appreciative too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he dropped it and it broke.
Speaker 1:No, really, he's saying out there at the end with Shania Twain, I'm going, here's Machine Gun, kelly and Shania Twain. That's a weird group. And then you got Shabuzy's in the bar. Other folks are doing stuff. Beyonce is kind of ignored, but then also other folks came in so she opened the door Everybody followed in. So about six of the top ten songs in the country are by pop artists you know, or Jelly Roll. You know, jelly Roll? I have some advice for you, sir.
Speaker 2:Stop eating, put your food away, stop eating okay, talking of that, yep, as we're rolling on to the end of the show, here there's a TV station here, I think it's CBS. They have and this is the oh God, what's her name? The woman we love so much. She's enormous and I've forgotten her name.
Speaker 1:Is it Melizzo?
Speaker 2:Lizzo who the Lizzo effect? Well, they have employed three morbidly obese women to be their weather girls. Three morbidly obese women to be their weather girls. So the funniest thing about this is right that she stands in front of the green screen and fills it up. Boy, I tell you what, if I was in master control, I'd be having some fun with that.
Speaker 1:You know when we were coming up through radio and TV, you'd never see any person close to being just the inkling of fat on TV. They just wouldn't do it. I mean one. It adds some pounds on anyway. They wanted small, pretty people, no way. But now it's just nothing wrong with diversity, that's fine. But now the weight and stuff is all out the window.
Speaker 2:We have some big anchors and stuff here in Denver but I mean I guess a couple of these are more in Denver, yeah, but I mean, okay, I know this is like less than a secondary market, but I mean it's okay. One, okay, you're being nice, but three, it's like who's picking these women?
Speaker 1:I couldn't watch them. I couldn't do it. I'll be thinking about listening to the weather and going like what is this fat chick doing on doing the weather? I'm sorry, Look incorrect Hashtag me too. I'm dead meat, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2:Hashtag she's morbidly obese meat. But I'm sorry, I just Hashtag she's morbidly obese. You can be long, that's fine, but morbidly obese I mean. They do quite a good job of it, except you can't see the East Coast. You can see up to say like, oh, I don't know Oklahoma.
Speaker 1:You don't get local weather, you get west of the Mississippi.
Speaker 2:She has to back out of the shop for her to be there.
Speaker 3:She sounds sweet.
Speaker 2:I'm sure that all three of them are absolutely wonderful people, but this is just where you need to be.
Speaker 1:Same thing here. If I don't look at her. I'm just listening to them talk on TV. I'm just going, she's got a good voice, she's doing a good presentation. I turn around and look I'm going too big.
Speaker 2:Exactly, and I just you know. I just got to wonder who the director is. Somebody likes big women.
Speaker 1:They apply to it. Maybe all they're getting applied to they go. What do we have to do? These days it's supposed to be okay, I don't know. I say to Jelly Roll personally I'd like Jelly Roll to be smaller so he lives longer. But you know, I like his positive vibe, his always happy attitude and putting out a good message. All that's great. That part I think he's great. I like all that stuff.
Speaker 2:I just wish he was smaller so he'd live longer. That's all. The same could be said for these women, and as for Lizzo as well. The interesting thing is that she Ozempic is out there.
Speaker 1:Go get it, go get it.
Speaker 2:I run out of Ozempic this week. Keep shrinking, keep shrinking. I have 20 pounds. Anyway, a really important point. I think we feel it keep shrinking, Keep shrinking. Well, I have 20 pounds, but anyway, uh, plus.
Speaker 1:I think you're talking about it. Let's go to a really important point. We talk about all these people, these great baby boomer people who died this week. What do they all have in common? Not one of them was overweight. Okay, that's what they all live in their eighties, except for the the. That's true With Brain Catcher. He died at 58. Everyone else is in their middle to upper 80s. Nobody fat, not even close to being obese, because if they were, they would have died a long time ago. I mean, come on.
Speaker 2:Lucky if you hit 50. 65, you're done.
Speaker 1:Zempik. Uh-oh, sticky in your tummy, sticky in your tummy. Pounds go away, pounds go away.
Speaker 2:The problem with Zempik is it takes your appetite away, it slows your whole metabolism down, and so you're sitting there at like 6, 7 o'clock at night, going you know what? I'm just not hungry Now. This is not healthy.
Speaker 1:You eat one good meal a day and you're fasting for the 24 hours until you eat again. It's a very healthy thing to do. It just depends on what you do eat at your meals. It's important you don't have to eat again for another 24 hours. It's fine, that's okay to do that.
Speaker 2:Well, what happens? Yeah, but if you've got diabetes, for example, your blood sugars go all over the bloody place, so you have to eat.
Speaker 1:You're lowering those numbers so you won't be a diabetic anymore. Lose the weight, not diabetic. We're talking about type 2 diabetic. Okay, it's different. Most people who are overweight are type 2, okay and lead to even stronger stuff. So just drop the weight. You won't be diabetic anymore. Health issues most of them gone. You're a happy, healthy person. Or just be fat and just go. You can't body shame me, you know, next week. Oh, she's dead.
Speaker 2:You know what they said okay, oversized casket Okay. You've got obviously diabetes one and type two, yes, and apparently there's type three, which is dementia. This is what they're saying now. That is actually diabetes.
Speaker 1:It's a point of these, yeah.
Speaker 2:I know I forget things every once in a while.
Speaker 1:Well, it's okay, I just don't know what time it is. We have to run and wrap the show up before we do your sister. Once again, we're smiling, we're happy and we're looking at the damn camera. Okay.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes, there you go, producers.
Speaker 1:Thanks for listening folks, thanks to all the fat people listening. We appreciate everybody. We've lived a long time.
