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

Speaker 1:That'd be fun right this week on the big podcast, kristen Costello. Hey-ho, you've got the canceled radio guys. And boy am I so happy to be here with Mr Chris Bailey.
Speaker 2:Mr Costello, this is the highlight of the show to me. Every week you introing it and trying to remember who the hell we are in the name of our show. I can't help but change it so many times. It's an adventure.
Speaker 1:That's the Unmarried Pregnant Women's Hour. No, that was the Miley Cyrus.
Speaker 2:Hour. Yay, now that we've established who the heck we are in the name of our show. Today's show all about drugs, dr show. All about drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs. How they relate to some of the famous breakups, how they're relating to some experimentation going on and how they relate to us former big time drug users except, I mean, you're still on mind altering drugs right now. Right?
Speaker 1:You're.
Speaker 2:Metamucil. You're taking something like that right, metamucil. I need to be regular If you can see my desk.
Speaker 1:there's like 10 bottles of things I have to take. Still I'm working on it, though Makes me trip Upright and on the show each week.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, as soon as I'm sitting down, otherwise I'll fall over. It's a drag.
Speaker 2:We've been talking about the past week. Okay, I'm glad you're upright. Is our breakups okay? Right? So, as we go into breakups, maestro, we need good, heartbreaking breakup music okay.
Speaker 1:How's that.
Speaker 2:That's right there. It's just so damn sad let's look back at famous couples over time that we all wanted to stay together but they didn't. We'll go back a little bit. Liz Taylor, Richard Burton they didn't have the fancy nicknames in, so then they were just Liz and Dick. That's right. Yep, it sounds kind of out of date, Dick and Liz. More up to date, we had it's been a long time divorce too. Remember Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt? We'll just call them Brad Jelena, Brad Jelena. They thought they were a great couple. They adopted all those kids and then one of the most nastiest divorces of all time. It's just another sad breakup.
Speaker 1:You're talking about Liz. I mean, god knows how many times has she married Richard Burton? Two or three, yeah?
Speaker 2:Speaking of repeats. Then we have Ben Affleck, jennifer Lopez.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm, Benifer, Hot and heavy the first time they went. Eh, I'm tired of you.
Speaker 1:They went right down the toilet you love yourself too much.
Speaker 2:Jennifer, I'm gone. Ben likes more quiet lifestyle. They're running to each other again, they're going. Hey, hey, hey. The flames kick back in. Then they get married again A few months later. Eh I, a few months later, I'm over that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm over it.
Speaker 2:It's a double breakup. It's a double breakup. Wow, man. Now and this couple got together to begin with because, getting back to our theme of drugs, I think they got together because of his heavy drug dependency. I'm talking about the hottest couple of the year so far. There's now no more which would be President Trump and Elon Musk. What a lovely couple they were just the epitome of the best bromance ever. It's just ridiculous. Remember Elon and all the presidential rallies, jumping up and down like a stinking maniac.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, with a chainsaw and and yeah, he was embarrassingly freaking, hopped up on ketamine.
Speaker 2:That's why Then he made this. Remember this comment that he made he goes. I love president Trump About as much as any man can love another man. Not be gay. Everyone's going gay. I mean, it's all because we found out late that he's heavy dependent on ketamine. You get that stuff through an IV, okay. So who's giving him the IV? He's got a doctor. I mean I actually you didn't know that I shared a clinic for two years, a ketamine clinic Really, a doctor's friend of mine, something he started. He was an anesthesiologist and they thought this was going to be such a big thing and he was right. He was right on it. And people have treatments for half an hour, up to four hours on an IV of ketamine. I went the four freaking hours. I said our things we did lasted all day. So we kind of put TVs out. I said why don't you have some TVs in the treatment room for the patients he goes, because they wouldn't even know it's there. It would just be, going like.
Speaker 2:so he said take a peek. So he let me peek in the treatment room and they have little potty things on stools next to them because they piss and shit themselves sometimes because they lose control, because they're gone, and there's people in there who were depressed war veterans with PTSD, all kinds of reasons. I peeked in there and this is what I saw Ready.
Speaker 1:And I go.
Speaker 2:I said well, how does this help them? He goes well, it helps with pain. I said well, they don't have any pain. Obviously they're out in the field, but when they're done it's going to come back right. He goes no. Over time that pain goes away. I said you have to explain it to me one day how getting ketamine makes pain go away. He said it doesn't make depression go away. After a while I can probably see that. I guess and this stuff's not covered by insurance. Man, you're paying out of pocket Anywhere $400 per half an hour, up to $2,000 for half a day. I want to be gone. It's kind of like Costello on this show it's just gone.
Speaker 1:It's the of like Costello on this show. It's just gone.
Speaker 2:It's the Chris show, the Chris and Ketamine show. There you go, so I mean. So if, elon, the point is that they've broken up.
Speaker 1:They have broken up and it's quite acrimonious too. I mean, it's like Trump saying yeah, that black guy, that was makeup, yeah, and what was the other thing? I mean the other thing, that's one of the things that's.
Speaker 2:It's been nasty.
Speaker 1:Trust me.
Speaker 2:Kill that bill. Don't vote for the big, beautiful bill. Kill that thing, Don't vote for it. It's awful. It's a nasty breakup. Like Brad and Angelina, I mean. They were like the hottest and all of a sudden it's like we hate each other. If Elon comes in off the ketamine. Some imagine how he's going to feel when people tell him things that he did like, for example, I gave 300 million dollars to whose campaign?
Speaker 1:Trump's he may be shocked at this point.
Speaker 2:I have how many kids, god, I've been drugged up for so long. I have how many kids, god, I've been drugged up for so long, oh man, the one we're waiting on.
Speaker 1:I did what with Trump Golden showers.
Speaker 2:Oh boy, he does like that, that's what I hear.
Speaker 1:That's what.
Speaker 2:Putin said but that's another breakup. We'll get to that one. Next, trump and Putin, there's another one, but the big one, of course, is Trump and Elon. And now we know why.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, of course, Ketamine, man Ketamine. He did, of course, decide to wait until Pride Week, so I think that's just kind of funny. Not that it's a gay relationship, it might be, I don't really know but I mean to wait until, you know, Pride Month as it is.
Speaker 2:I love Trump as much as a man can love another man oh no, no, no no, he's got very bad taste.
Speaker 1:Very bad taste is all I can say. I think I mean, I think Trump can probably be quite funny if he tries. You know, there is a certain amount of humor in there, I have noticed, but for the most part, for everything to do with government and everything else, I really particularly enjoy the thought that he's going to have concentration camps. He said he calls them immigration camps and he's starting to fill them up in LA this weekend.
Speaker 2:Well, that's, you know, it's a surprise on the breakup with Elon, because you know he hasn't really said much, this is true. He's been kind of decent about it and Elon's been firing off all kinds of nasty stuff. I mean, if you're going to talk about a breakup, everyone has names for breakups, they have couples names. So we had Bennifer, okay, and we had Brad and Angelina, which was Bradgelina, okay. So now you have Trump and Elon, which would be Muscump, muscump, muscump, or Elohump, elohump. You know what?
Speaker 1:I'm saying Elohump sounds better.
Speaker 2:I think Muscump is probably as good as it's going to get.
Speaker 1:Oh, I'm going to write it down right here.
Speaker 2:Since Trump's on the rebound, okay, so he's taking that on Governor Newsom in California, like you were just saying he does. They don't get along at all. No, they don't. And anything he can do to ridicule the guy, he's doing National Guard. Now he's bringing in 700 Marines on top of that Marines.
Speaker 1:These people aren't doing anything other than demonstrating, which is their right.
Speaker 2:Well, they're burning cars, they're looting some stores.
Speaker 1:Big deal. Well, I mean, yes, that's wrong, You're not supposed to do that. But that's what rioting is about. You piss someone off so badly they're rioting in the streets. You know, can't do that, no, no.
Speaker 2:If we read it right, so it started as peaceful demonstration. They brought in the big guns, pissed them off and the rioting started. Is that how you see it?
Speaker 1:Yeah, pretty much Okay. I mean, just wait until one of those guys just happens to fire a shot and hit and kill somebody. Oh boy.
Speaker 2:Ooh, you see the video yesterday. Okay, it was a woman from Australia, because all over the world they're reporting on it. She didn't really have press credentials on too much. She's doing a call-in thing and as she's doing her report she got shot in the leg with a rubber bullet. I didn't mean to laugh and if you look back over here, good, I'm just going, I'm going. Why am I laughing at this? These?
Speaker 1:were sick individuals. That's why.
Speaker 2:Well, you stand there in the middle of the action and you don't have press thing on. So the National Guard guy thinks you're just another person, they're just in part of the riot. So so the National Guard guy thinks you're just another person, they're just in part of the riot. So get out of the way, poop. And it was just funny. I mean just you scream and went down grabbing her leg. I'm sitting there laughing my ass off on the couch and it's going.
Speaker 1:I said, play it again, Do it again. Well, you can break a bone with those things. I guess you could.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know never been shot with one, so no, no, neither have I Mostly so far. Anyway, there's a reason for the big breakup between Trump and Elon that no one even talked about, even knows it's because of ketamine Bingo. We're the only ones who figured this crap out. We're so bright and we're so astute.
Speaker 1:We are so clever, you should without you most definitely should join the party and follow us each week, because every week we come up with stuff like this. You know we make shit up. It's great. I mean now, next, next week. I know it's a little early to get into this, but we're going to have to. We're going to have a representative from the United Kingdom talking about his Trump-alness. It's hilarious, because I know… I found that people in England… Hate him.
Speaker 2:They all hate him Pretty much. Of course, I don't know everybody, but when I was there the first term I was visiting and the hatred is just like deep, oh yeah it hasn't changed any. I did not see one MAGA hat in England and it was great. It was great, I had to see that.
Speaker 1:I think when I go over in August I'll bring a whole suitcase load.
Speaker 2:I'm not going to let you in, man. You won't get past immigration. It'll be a rarity.
Speaker 1:Yeah right, Costello's hats.
Speaker 2:Sit him with a rubber bullet. God damn rubber bullet.
Speaker 1:God dang it, Damn rubber bullet. Oh, I remember the song Rubber Bullets, but no, I didn't want to get hit by one.
Speaker 2:Well, if you're on drugs you wouldn't feel it. So ketamine is the big driving force in the Elon thing. There's drug fact number one. Okay, you don't know anybody who's ever done ketamine Costello.
Speaker 1:No, not one. Okay, you don't know anybody who's ever done ketamine Costello.
Speaker 2:No, not that I'm aware of, unless I'm talking to one and you desire to do it yourself, have your doctors said maybe you should do this too.
Speaker 1:If it's that good to get rid of things like depression, yeah, that'd be great, that'd be terrific. Yeah, I mean, you know, if it was.
Speaker 2:I can set you up. You want to try it? Just do the half-hour thing where you don't really crap yourself, but you'll sit there and drool on yourself and just kind of have gaping mouth, but you won't know that, so you'll just be out there. Oh, I will do that, newt on air.
Speaker 2:Or or come out here where now we have in Colorado, psilocybin mushrooms are legal to a degree. Yeah, that's what I heard they were showing on, but I heard they were showing on 60 Minutes how they're treating veterans who have severe PTSD. Here's the setting. It just made no sense to me. Okay, so they have them all laying in a circle, okay, and they give them the mushrooms, all right, and then they're laying back. They put like one of those sleeping masks over their eyes and they just lay there. And there's a couple of counselors there just in case people start freaking out or whatever to help them out and soothe them over. And that's how they experience the mushrooms. All right, I've done psilocybin mushrooms, you know, and it's fun. You don't lay there like this and just go. It's all in your mind. The stuff you're looking at is half the fun. Have you done mushrooms, constance? Have you ever done mushrooms?
Speaker 1:No, I never have Things like that. Well, you live your life through me. It's okay. My daughter likes them, she grows them. Matter of fact, I was in a bar with a chap I know here and his girlfriend and they were just blasting them. We just hit some shrooms, man, they did them before they went to the bar.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and they're sitting there having a normal conversation with you after that. It wasn't terribly normal, but, yeah, you got some shitty shrooms, so all those guys are landing. And then, four or five hours later, when the effect of the psilocybin wore off, they asked him what they experienced and so I went back. I saw some of my old buddies who died right next to me. Some saw euphoric things or whatever. I'm just going. They're missing all the fun. You do want to do it around other people because you don't want to be alone, because you see shit, right?
Speaker 2:So my first time I had six people and we're all sitting there in a circle We'll drink the mushrooms. All of a sudden things start happening. So you start looking and the first thing I notice is like you're kind of staring at some people over there and behind them the wall's doing this, breathing oh really breathing. Oh really the wall's moving in and out. I'm just going like you're going like this. People are looking over at me laughing. I'm looking at them laughing because there's weird stuff going on around me and it's kind of like and it makes you really thirsty. So you got to have a lot of liquid around when you do mushrooms.
Speaker 2:So I didn't know where to drink this. I opened the fridge to get somebody to drink fridge, to get something to drink. So I grabbed a can. There was like a pitcher of lemonade in there. So I said I just threw it, I'm just going to drink out of the pitcher. So I tilted the pitcher up and then looked inside it.
Speaker 2:All of a sudden it's like a whole world, okay, and the lemonade's coming down in these huge Hawaiian waves, all right. So I just stood there like this with the pitcher. They told me for two hours, okay, and I just jiggle it and watch the waves come in. They told me for two hours, okay, and I'll just jiggle it and watch the waves come in. I'm totally covered and soaking wet with lemonade, nice, but I'm just going yeah, serve some. And it just seemed like to me maybe five, ten minutes drink some, watch some waves, lost in that stuff. Everyone's pointing and laughing. Look at Bailey over there, dipshit, they're soaked in lemonade. What's he seeing in there? And it's just, that's the fun part. You're just having fun and you see things like that I was soaking wet.
Speaker 2:I wasn't thirsty anymore. I finally it was empty. I walked back to the city but everyone's like pointing and laughing I'm going what they're going to look at you so and just you, just.
Speaker 1:And then they carried you out into an anthill and left even harder.
Speaker 2:I did a dumb thing after. It's like I was starting to wear out for a little bit. So someone said I made dinner. So they made mushrooms. Okay, and they made mushrooms in the spaghetti. Okay, I thought fun. So you eat them.
Speaker 2:Because when you first do psilocybin you always feel a little bit nauseous at the beginning, you know. And it passes Some people it didn't just pass, they go puke and then the fun starts, okay. So I'm eating a spaghetti. About halfway through the plate is spaghetti and the new batch starts to kick in and the spaghetti is crawling off the plate attacking my lap. That's the fork. I'm going get stuck. There's crap. So I'm going how could they treat those poor veterans just lying there? They have to be still. There's just all kinds of cool crap like that going on, you know. And you've got to do it with a group of people because people are laughing. What are you doing with a fork man? Everyone's going through something different and you laugh at the other person, so you've got to keep it light. You've other person, so you got to keep it light. You got to keep it funny. You know so, cause I guess you could, you know, go into the other side of it if you were in a different type atmosphere.
Speaker 2:So they're trying to help these guys with PTSD and which is a crappy thing, but they're put in such a serious situation that they it could have been more fun for them. You know, help them lighten up and pass certain things and feel better about things instead of being so, you know, but they put them in a situation with mushrooms and they were like you know and they were seeing and not experiencing pleasant things.
Speaker 2:You know, to me it was a stinking riot. I mean, I got spaghetti crawling in my lap, I got lemonade oceans going down my chest and then I did the most dumb thing of all. Someone went we're out of beer. I went I'll go, oh no.
Speaker 1:Oh, I'm behind the wheel of the car.
Speaker 2:I'm driving. I'm going got to go slow because trees are jumping around. Then the worst thing happened. Okay, the car came the other direction. I thought I was on the freeway, it was like 20 cars. All of a sudden the headlights went from two to like 20 headlights. Oh no, I thought oh, these cars are going. Yeah, I just stopped the car and waited for that car to pass. I could make my way down to the 7-Eleven, which is another trip, trying to go and buy stuff and how much is that? And you're trying to get to bed.
Speaker 1:When I was gosh a long time ago, my sister was in college. She said, well, come up to London for the weekend. And her then boyfriend was just well, everybody smoked and hashish. So we're doing that and, oh boy, this stuff. He thought it was hilarious that we could go around the corner and I would be completely lost. But you see that part of London is called Ealing. All the houses are the same. It's really easy to get lost.
Speaker 1:The raw houses yeah yeah, and so there was not a 7-11 structure. But we didn't call them that back then. I think we just called them Paki shops. Pakistanis ran them. So that's not racist. Oh, yes, it is. Just get past that bit. So I remember going there with Brian and going man, I think I'm lost. Oh, don't worry about it now, man, I think I'm lost. And then he goes I'm lost too. Oh, shit't worry about it, no, man, I think I'm lost. And then he goes I'm lost too. Oh, shit, shit, we're both lost. Shit, now, I'm hungry, damn. Then we went around the corner and there's this little store and apparently we took so long choosing a Mars bar. They called the police on us Because we're just standing there going yeah, okay, you buying this. Or yeah, okay, you going to buy it, I'll buy it, it's okay, I'll buy it for you. And apparently this must have gone on forever.
Speaker 2:When you're in it you don't think anything but people walking from the outside going. These guys are so stoned.
Speaker 1:Oh boy, were we ever? And then I tried driving and that was really bad. There's a major intersection through London called the A4, which I lived just off and right by Heathrow Airport actually, and I was stoned enough that I tried to drive home but, like you, had to go slow. And I had to keep going slow because every time I got near those traffic lights they'd change. So eventually I just floored it. Fuck it.
Speaker 2:Hope I don't get hit you drove fast on hash. Wow, usually people drive slow with that.
Speaker 1:No, I was. I was slow until I got to the traffic light with this major intersection and couldn't figure out if it was the green or red. My traffic light's for me to go. You took a shot, I took a shot and then I backed in and backed over somebody's roses. It didn't go down very well.
Speaker 2:Well, you know, it's kind of like people always go all the time like, oh, back when we were younger, the music was better, so and so. Well, it seems like I could be wrong, then drugs were better, I mean.
Speaker 1:They were stronger. No, actually no, they weren't.
Speaker 2:They're stronger. People were dying from what we did 80s. Cocaine Awesome, okay. Yeah, you can snort your brains out. If you had heart issues you might kill yourself. But the pot then I guess pot's okay. Now, that's not a big fan of it.
Speaker 1:Hash was different.
Speaker 2:You could get that. Remember Quaaludes, where are they Gone, you know? Boots, you could get pills of speed and stuff that were different.
Speaker 1:And you know we all felt very good from it.
Speaker 2:But we didn't have any friends who died from it. Didn't anybody OD? Because people started treating them with heroin and stuff. So look at today's stuff. You take fentanyl today. Crap, it's in cocaine and it only takes a little bit. You don't know the person mixed with it and how much they gave you. I think people are catching on. There were 35% less fentanyl deaths last year than there was the years prior, so people are understanding that this stuff is going to kill you. We took fun drugs, costello.
Speaker 1:Let's look at it again.
Speaker 2:If someone came into your house right now and went Okay, got the dog's burps.
Speaker 1:Get out of your house.
Speaker 2:Here's some good hash from 1982. Would you do it again?
Speaker 1:I might, maybe, maybe. I'd rather do the cocaine.
Speaker 2:Also, if someone came and knocked on your door and said I got some 80s cocaine left pure as it used to be, just like it used to be then, not wasting anything.
Speaker 1:Would you do it? No, I probably wouldn't, because I have had some major surgery that tells me not to.
Speaker 2:My name is surgery. All of a sudden you'll skip it going. Do, do, do miles an hour from the cocaine.
Speaker 1:Well, I've got those pills that stop that. So that's why I keep falling over, I think because they make me so dizzy so I already can. And they do. Yeah, well, you know what it was soon after I, you know, I still had all the scarring and everything. And my next door neighbor goes hey, listen, man, if you want anything, just let us know. You want some cocaine? I go, man, I just had a freaking heart attack.
Speaker 2:You think I need cocaine. Let me see how good the new vials and arteries are. I want to make sure you're all clean and clogged up and everything's pumping right. Go for it. Put of the test? Oh well, it's good to go back, that's fun. Kids don't do this at home. Costello and I are big drug users, but hey, now we've been clean for about a week now.
Speaker 1:Since breakfast actually.
Speaker 2:Since breakfast. Thanks for letting us talk drugs with you this week I enjoyed. Next week will be our Brit on. He's supposed to be a pretty funny guy, brits are big time anti-traumatic. We'll just sit back and just let him go.
Speaker 1:Let him rant Pretty much it's going to be interesting because he has a very thick northern accent.
Speaker 2:I understand it, but I do think it'll just add to it. He has a thick Cockney accent. What's his name? What's his name, king Charles? Is that who's coming?
Speaker 1:up. No, king Charles is the week after next. Okay, so don't forget to follow and subscribe. You don't have to subscribe, but follow anyway, please.
Speaker 2:Just follow and download, and we know it's you. We'll send you a little gram of 80s cocaine in the mail. It's free on us. Okay, just don't tell anybody where it came from, alright.
Speaker 1:Yeah, suspiciously empty, just like the cocaine you brought back from Jamaica for me. Yeah, my nostrils.
Speaker 2:I just have one now. They just run together, so one big snorting machine right here. I'm ready to go.
