Send us a text

What happens when a beloved fitness icon suddenly vanishes from the public eye, only to pass away quietly years later? Join us as we share heartfelt memories and personal anecdotes about Richard Simmons, diving into his mysterious withdrawal and unexpected death. We'll also touch on the overshadowed passings of Farrah Fawcett and Shannon Dowery, examining how media coverage shapes our perceptions of celebrity deaths.

From the personal to the political, we shift gears to discuss the latest upheavals in the Republican party, with Donald Trump preemptively declaring himself the nominee at a convention that seemed more like a spectacle than a serious political gathering. Controversial figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert take center stage as we explore their influence and the unsettling plans Trump has for federal employees. We also reflect on the involvement of the Trump family, particularly Melania's apparent reluctance, while noting the dwindling viewership of these conventions.

Finally, we take a lighter turn to discuss the upcoming Paris Olympics, where athletes will parade on boats along the Seine in a break from tradition. We'll reminisce about the Oxford-Cambridge boat race and share our excitement for new Olympic events like breakdancing and skateboarding. Wrapping up with a playful promise to steer clear of political talk in the next episode (unless something extraordinary happens), we promise a blend of humor, nostalgia, and engaging stories that will keep you both entertained and informed.

Speaker 1:

Hi, this is Chris. Hey, this is Costello. How you doing, Chris? How's things in Seattle? Hey, you know, nice to meet you. Well, you gotta get ready for the Olympics in Paris, I know. I'm glad you're in the spirit here I am Normally this time of year in summer. As you know, people don't do news.

Speaker 2:

I'm not sure, I'm not sure, I'm not sure.

Speaker 1:

I'm glad you're in the spirit here I am. Normally this time of year in summer, as you know, people don't do news shows. I just wanted to say because it's usually a slow news time. We're far from that, but you know, here we are. It's summertime. Still do a show every week. We never take the hiatus. We're always there for you, we have things to say. You want to know what we've got to say on stuff, and summertime has been a freaking busy weekend.

Speaker 2:

Summertime it has, but usually see if you can fly an egg on a baby's collar Because it's so hot. New stuff, man, come on.

Speaker 1:

New stuff I just got to bring up. I think you talked to me about Richard Simmons. Come on him on my show personally. Three times. He was actually, I got to say when you're talking about golf and stuff. We talked about stuff. We talked about the hair transplant that he had years ago. I wondered if we could be fixed. He shot the crab. He's only 5'7", about 150 pounds. He picked me up and carried me around the damn room. I said he's a strong little sucker. He was a nice guy. He was really funny. I the damn room. I said you put me down. He's a strong little sucker. He was a nice guy. He was really funny. I can see everybody liked him. But rumor has it that he disappeared from public view because he had a lot of knee. I guess all that thing exercising all those years he had knee replacements, back issues. He wanted people to see him that way. He wanted them to remember like he used to be energetic, hopping around doing stuff.

Speaker 2:

That's why we don't usually do video, but we are now.

Speaker 1:

Pretty damn scary. I tell you. I've always said it, man I look really damn good in the dark. You got a good face for radio. I do, I do, but Simmons, I mean, the weird thing is he died the day after his birthday.

Speaker 1:

On his birthday that night he obviously I think he fell in the bathroom. The maid heard and she said it helped him up. She said you want to go to the doctor? He goes. No, refuse treatment. If you hit your head, you have a concussion. It may not kill 24 hours later and then you're too late.

Speaker 1:

It's like Liam Neeson's wife who fell down skiing. She refused to go to the doctor. A day and a half later she's dead from a severe concussion where she hit her head skiing Right. So they're going to release. They haven't released yet what his cause of death was, but he's answering emails at night. Thanks for all the birthday. I never had so many nice birthday wishes in my life. He's doing that all night and next morning the maid comes back to work who's been his maid for like 30 years and finds him about 10am dead on the floor by the time they get you know, dead in arrival. He's just gone. So it's just like DOA how it's your birthday. You're answering emails, you're talking to people. I just wondered if that fall had anything to do with it. I don't know.

Speaker 1:

So, we'll find out.

Speaker 2:

I was surprised. I saw that. I thought I should tell Bailey about this. Of course she'd find out anyway. And that was also the same day that the Shining oh, what was her name? She died that same day.

Speaker 1:

Shannon Dowery.

Speaker 2:

She died the same day she died too.

Speaker 1:

Yes, the day after that, but just because of the Trump thing, anybody who died was like forget it. It's like I remember when Michael Jackson died In 2009. Farrah Fawcett died on the same day. I'm going.

Speaker 1:

Well, she's not going to get shit For mentioning it's a big deal. Michael Jackson he passed out, but they rushed him into the hospital. Farrah Fawcett had been fighting cancer for a while so it wasn't like, I guess, a big shock. Yeah, she wasn't doing well, but just because Michael Jackson died the same day, there wasn't a lot of news about Farrah Fawcett until as time went on. Here, poor Richard Simmons dies the day after his birthday, the day Trump gets shot.

Speaker 2:

Trump didn't get shot, he got grazed, if you think about it. I mean barely even that. And you know, what really really just made me go, just almost throw up, was they're showing the great convention there, the Republican convention, and all the people. Oh, it's like you know, the savior is here and they pan around and there's a whole bunch of people They've got little Kleenexes stuck to their ear. There was one who had a flag thing stuck to his ear and you say, well, wait a minute.

Speaker 1:

One thing about Trump here is, just, like you know, he's just one lucky motherfucker, I'm sorry, there's no other way to put it. You know just. I mean, it's just all these things falling his way. Also, they dropped the case against the files. Of course, that was a judge who dropped. It was an appointed judge by him. He appointed her. Oh yeah, I'm just going give me a freaking break. But the thing was, it's like I, I, you wonder if people are going to start saying what they're thinking, because you know a lot of people were thinking, you know it started coming out, started getting some emails and stuff. So I get a picture, one of hillary clinton walking into the room with a surprised look on her face and the captain is what they missed, you know, okay. Then I got another one of Melania, dressed in all camo, laying down with a sniper's rifle. The captain goes damn it, you know. So people, it's like everyone's being careful. People aren't saying it.

Speaker 2:

I noticed on Facebook, on my feed, anyway nothing, absolutely nothing about it.

Speaker 1:

Well, it's just like okay, because you know people who don't like him are thinking like dang it. You know we had a chance. Why is the guy's scope wasn't better? I mean, why did he miss?

Speaker 2:

I mean, you know, Well, he was kicked out of his rifle club for being a rotten shot.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, he was. I mean, he had five shots and all he did was graze the ear. Not that I wanted him to be shot, I mean it's just I do.

Speaker 2:

We're sorry, I wonder. I'd like to see him.

Speaker 1:

I'm trying to be PC and not say it, you know, because you know a lot of people were thinking it. I'm just waiting. When are they going to start saying it? When are comedians going to start doing it? You're going to hear it right now. Let's go back to the millennia thing. Damn it, miss. Can you imagine, if he didn't turn his head the video of that what that would have looked like? He's a pumpkin head. Yeah, it'd be like you know.

Speaker 2:

I had blood streaming down my face and one little dribble coming down there.

Speaker 1:

You remember the Zabruder film when JFK got the head and you saw the head blow. Can you imagine that? And how close the camera was and just him standing up there all of a sudden a and you saw the head blow. Can you imagine that? And how close the camera was, In color, and just him standing up there. All of a sudden, that big orange melon head just go.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, that'd be great. Oh yeah, you know I have it on repeat over and over and over again. I would watch that.

Speaker 1:

I'm just going to give you a little advice there, mr Englishman, that you know, by you saying that would be great and they wish you would have shot him, you know, if this gets someone turns the show into like the Secret Service or whatever, they're going to become a knock.

Speaker 2:

Well, fine, I'm allowed to have my own opinion.

Speaker 1:

You can. Yeah. It's just they're just very super sensitive right now.

Speaker 2:

Yeah well tough. You know, I said many some years ago when I first found out I had cancer. I told my kids, if I turn out to be terminal on this shit, I said I'm going after Trump. I said, dad, you wouldn't? Oh, yeah, you would, wouldn't you, dad? He goes, yes, I would, but it didn't turn out to be terminal. I'm still here. I'm still here.

Speaker 1:

I have my stage four. I'm still here, we're both still here, and we're here because, if, because, if Trump would have gotten shot. The point is, who the hell will we make fun of? I mean, you know so this guy, the press that he made it, because it's such freaking great material. I mean, what are we supposed?

Speaker 2:

to do? You know what? All those Secret Service guys just piling on him and I just wonder which one yelled out Donald Duck?

Speaker 1:

I mean, if you look at the thing they're trying to surround him to protect him from what he's supposed to do, but when he gets his fist up and his head's poking up above him, that could have been another shot.

Speaker 2:

I mean, it's a secret service.

Speaker 1:

He's not supposed to let his head be visible. He's got to be surrounded and covered so nothing's visible, or he can get shot His head's up again. I'm going there it is. Is there a second guy?

Speaker 2:

out there, donald Duck.

Speaker 1:

So here's the thing. Okay, so he survives. Word gets out that he's fortunate to be here. He's found God, he's found Jesus. Oh Jesus. We all know Trump ain't going to find Jesus. I mean he's probably scared shitless. I mean he's probably going lucky. I'm lucky to be alive. But he's saying what could have happened?

Speaker 1:

So he's probably humbled there for a short period of time. So the point is okay, we're watching. He's watching the Republican convention. Here comes Trump to speak. And you knew it was going to be kind of hokey at the beginning because like, okay, here comes Hulk Hogan, I'm going really. Then comes Kid Rock, I'm going really, these are the biggest celebrities they can get. Then you got the UFC guy, dana White, the guy who handles all those fighters and hump each other in a cage I'm just going really. Then he comes out and they got this neon lights going.

Speaker 1:

It says Trump, there's a big interest with Lee Greenwood saying God bless the USA. And he comes to that really funny looking hokey ear patch, right, and that's the freaking Secret Service calling right. So he comes out and he acts humble. To begin with he tells the story how he got shot in his words. Now, for the grace of God, he's there and I'm going. You know this may pay off pretty good because he's trying to be different. And he even said I want to be president for all of America, not just half of America, since the country's kind of split when it comes to numbers of votes. I'm going. He's saying the right stuff. This is bad. And all of a sudden then he lost it. He went back to being Trump again, started ripping everybody, making fun of crazy. Nancy Pelosi had to mention Biden. He just couldn't help himself. All of a sudden it's like a 15, 20-minute accepting speech of the nomination 93 minutes. I couldn't even finish it. It was so bad. I'm just going. He's back, he's back.

Speaker 2:

Of course, he said you know, I want to be closer to God. He said I want to be closer to God. Well, some of us tried to arrange that for you, mr Trump, and I'm sorry that it didn't come across that way.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. He's going, he's going he's going, I shouldn't be here right now. I'm going. Well then, leave. Do we face leave?

Speaker 2:

on them. Just get the hell out, leave. Hang on a second. I I think I hear black helicopters coming in over there. I might be in trouble. Black helicopters are coming this way.

Speaker 1:

Yep, either they're coming in to take you in for questioning or, once again, they're coming to your neighbors, which is a common occurrence. I haven't seen them. I don't know if you watched any. I mean, if people did watch, hopefully by seeing all the shit that was going on at the Republican convention, people started having flashbacks to four years ago and remembering why they didn't re-elect the guy in the first place. So hopefully you saw all the crap you saw. There's his family, there's the Looney Tunes, there's the grade D celebrities who think he's the stuff. You look at the crowd out there, a bunch of 75-year-olds who are trying to go fight, fight, fight with Kid Rock. It's just a weird scene. Hopefully everyone will just snap to and just remember we had all this crap four years ago. We don't want this shit again. Why would you? I mean, did you watch any of the convention besides the speech? Did you kind of watch bits and pieces here and there?

Speaker 2:

I really I couldn't stand to do it. I did watch the vice president a little bit, listen to what he had to say. It's like hmm.

Speaker 1:

Mr Hillbilly effigy yeah, freaking right on that. You know he's like. You know, women can't have an abortion, not even in the case of rape or incest. Tough shit. Have the baby. Baby's got rights. Baby ain't got rights. When does a baby have rights when they're born? That's why we have what we have birthdays. We don't have conception days, okay.

Speaker 2:

We could if we counted backwards, but yeah, it's like.

Speaker 1:

yeah, it's like conception is like where Drive-in backseat, you know, airplane bathroom. I mean it's just like on our heads on our tombstones. We don't have the day we were conceived, we have the day we were born and the day we were conceived. We have the day we were born and the day we were died. You know so sorry, but if you watch any convention, you, you sir, based on where you live, would have felt right, because it looked like it reminded me of just a white trash driveway front yard gathering party. That's what it was. Yeah, the redneck sat in driveway front yard gathering party, and that's what it was. Yeah, the rednecks out in the front yard, the garage open and put in the little cheap folding chairs. We're going to have a chair and bring a cooler out in the front yard and the driveway and just have a gathering. That's what it looked like.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I can see that. I can see it for sure. Yeah, you see. Excuse me asking, but what is the point of them spending all that money on a huge convention to nominate someone who's already nominated himself and told you that he will be the nominee?

Speaker 1:

You know when the states gave their delegates and it's like you count them up and there's a little bit of drama involved. There's no drama, it's just like a four-day Republican gathering. You can see how the party's changed a lot and how scary that it is. And the people up there are speakers. I mean you got Margaret Taylor Greene up there, just a freaking idiot. Oh boy, yeah, she's a piece of work. And then you got from our state embarrassing. So Lauren Boebert, you know up there speaking and yelling as well. I think she jerked off nine different guys at the convention for us. So yeah, that's what she likes to do you know?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, oh, I didn't know about that. That's okay. Do you remember the last?

Speaker 1:

year when she had a, she was separated from her husband. Oh, that's right. Had a date with this guy. They were going to watch, you know, Beetlejuice or whatever you know, and she's dancing, making noise and causing commotion. They got cameras up there and she's there jerking off her date right there in the seat. You know, it's just like. So. She probably jerked off about nine delegates from maybe at least five different states during the convention, I'm sure.

Speaker 1:

Quality, quality maybe at least five different states during the convention. I'm sure Quality, Quality white trash, that's what I mean. It was a driveway front yard white trash party.

Speaker 2:

I mean yeah, like I said, I mean okay, trump's decided he's going to be it right. So nobody else is running, or those that tried to run before. They're getting no change out of this at all.

Speaker 1:

You know, I picked up by watching those guys, I picked up overconfidence. That's what I got. They just think it's wrapped up, it's in the bag. You know what it may very well have been if he hadn't taken off on one of those 90-minute rants like he's doing, likeass rallies, you know, over the place, ripping this out. Where's the unity? Where's this? Where's that? All out the window. He just went back to the. He is what he is. That's not going to change. It's going to be worse.

Speaker 1:

I mean, he wants to. I don't know if you know this, but he wants to replace all the government employees. Unless they follow and are loyal to him. He wants to fire them all. Yeah, and civilian federal employees, that is, we have 38,000 here just in Colorado and just in the country is like 3 million. He wants to get rid of them and replace them. He wants to fire them all and replace them with Trump loyalists. I'm just going gee, we're just like Nazi Germany and he's a dictator. I don't think he even realizes the stuff that he's been saying, that he wants to do. He's trying to downplay it.

Speaker 2:

I don't think he's mentioned any of his followers.

Speaker 1:

He's trying to downplay it since he got shot.

Speaker 2:

But it's there and when he gets in it's all gonna happen. Well, I saw that I'm scared, man scared, today project 25 is scary enough.

Speaker 1:

I know I mentioned that's hard. It's probably 25 getting those civilian federal employees, unless they're loyal, to trump, you're out I mean, there are a lot of things on there that you just go what? No, but yes I mean you're a member of the media. You ever said something bad about him. You asked the wrong question. What's he going to do? Throw you in jail for treason or something like Russia? I mean, it's just some scary, scary stuff.

Speaker 2:

You know he could. He could have, you know, work camps set up. Yeah, he could do that. He could, it could happen. I mean people like Chris Bailey who said all kinds of bad things about Trump but of course Costello didn't, because he liked him really, he was just joking.

Speaker 1:

That's right, you're trying to cover your case. He went, I think anybody give an idea. Okay, so his speech drew an audience of like 18 million people. It used to be like you know, 40, 50 million people on these nomination things. Okay, 18 million in the summer is like you know. I guess these days it's pretty good. But you know what? You know what? They were showing a new show because they just cut it off. I guess CBS went to one of their new shows called Tracker. I don't know what that is. It drew 19 million people. What the hell is freaking Tracker, I mean. But it outdrew the idiot you know. Well, it should Anything, should? I mean? They put a rerun of my Mother the Car up there. It should draw more. Is that back? I don't know Tracks.

Speaker 2:

Maybe we could have like a sitcom of the Trumps.

Speaker 1:

Well, you know what? That's what I'm saying. People watch that. Hopefully they have a flashback of how bad it was four years ago. There were the kids. There was Eric. Hopefully they have a flashback of how bad it was four years ago. There were the kids. There was Eric. There's Don Jr, who thinks he's going to take over from daddy and be the next president. There. There's this fiance who he gave her an engagement ring he proposed at the convention. How romantic. And then Melania shows up. You can tell she's going. This is the last freaking place I want to be. They go. We'd love you can tell she's going. This is the last freaking place I want to be. You know they go. We'd love you to speak. She goes. No, they go. When you walk out, we'd like you to walk on the stage first Wave to the crowd. She goes. No, she went straight to her seat Afterwards. They're on the stage. She didn't go on the stage afterwards, back off. She wouldn't even let him. She's going. I hate this shit and I hate you.

Speaker 2:

She doesn't want to be held up again.

Speaker 1:

Do you want this person to hate being First Lady? Remember when she had to decorate for Christmas? She goes I hate fucking Christmas. Do you want this loony, all these people back and then him ramming and constantly lie, lie, lie, lie. The man doesn't even know how to tell the truth.

Speaker 2:

I was watching ABC after that and they went through all the things that he was saying, the terrible things that have happened in the last four years, and every one of them is like gas prices, unemployment, state of the economy I guess unemployment, everything.

Speaker 1:

he lied about is better. Unemployment, super low okay, Recession we have one, but everything's gone. Unemployment, infrastructure there's so many good things going on. He's harping on. He goes to the wall. I'm going to deport 10 million people. Does he look across the hall and see his wife, who showed up, who was an immigrant? Okay, yeah, really, he's going to deport his wife. Maybe that's the plan. I get plenty out of here, so get that bitch back to Eastern.

Speaker 2:

Europe. There you go, get the in-laws as well, we'll write it. They're all out of here. Excellent, 10 million people.

Speaker 1:

Can you imagine that as this? Uh well, I don't think it's. I'm not gonna say it's not possible. I mean, you know he'll do it, he can do it. The supreme court opened it wide up. He can do anything he wants. He's not a tailed libel for anything anymore. And now a sane person like like biden, you know, is like we'll never abuse the power. You get that idiot in there.

Speaker 2:

I just just we're gonna be so I don't know what we're gonna do I suppose the worst thing is that he's had four years experience, so now he knows what he can do. Before it was just like can I do that?

Speaker 1:

now he knows oh yeah, now it's even more. And he's got this jd vance guy. Hey, mr he billy, you know who's he's. He's grooming him to keep the maga thing rolling. I mean, it was just like a few years ago JD Vance was calling, he said he's Hitler, he's this, he's that, he's a loser. And all of a sudden, like I love this guy because you've got to come on board to get what you want.

Speaker 2:

It just reminded me that within that 25 thing Project 25, they're going to abolish the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts, but they will have a Trump youth. That's in there.

Speaker 1:

Somebody just freaking slapped me in. I hate that we have to do this stuff in politics, but it's just so prominent right now. But here's the big question. Okay, forget the loser, forget the liar, forget the orange skin, forget his family. Hopefully they won't make it. The big question is will Biden back out, and or is he going to stay?

Speaker 2:

I think he would stay. I think he should back out. That's my personal opinion.

Speaker 1:

I think he should. If he backed out and back to whoever it was and also his legacy would be great. There we, great Joseph, came in and saved us from Trump four years ago. He's not moving right now. Well, yeah, he's in mild symptoms. He did a lot of personal appearances the last year. I think on top of that, he needs a break. He left his time off. Last weekend he had to go back to the White House because Trump got shot. He had to go handle that. They fired the Secret Service director already, the woman who was in charge. They already fired her. So they had to do something. I don't know.

Speaker 2:

I know that people were calling for it, but they did fire her.

Speaker 1:

Obama's not backing him. Biden's really pissed over that Obama's. Let it be known, though, they had a big fundraiser back in June. Obama said he was shocked at how not there Biden was. At the end he had to kind of escort him off the stage. He's going. He's shocked at how he's having these lapses more and more. You know, like I said once, given the man his last rights, I'd vote for him over Trump any day. But if they get somebody, you know if they give it to Harris, I think, vote for him over Trump any day. But if they get somebody, you know, if they give it to Harris, I think I like her.

Speaker 2:

She's fine, I mean you know, she can hold on.

Speaker 1:

Is he going to stay? Let's take bets here. So I mean, I have my time in Vegas, so we got to do bookmaking, okay? So Biden the big words, like he may not even make it to the weekend before he decides to step up.

Speaker 2:

He's pretty damn defiant, if you ask me he seems really dug in, don't you think so, that he's dug in there.

Speaker 2:

I think he wants to. He's not going to back out. He seems pretty like going no, he doesn't want to. But I think eventually he's going to be pinned up against the wall and say, look, you're great as a prime minister, as a president, your cognitive thoughts, they are there, but you suck at the rest of this and it doesn't look good for the party and it doesn't look good for the country and it really doesn't.

Speaker 1:

Visuals are a big thing and he does Because the Democrats are worried about not only losing the White House, but they're worried about losing the House and the Senate. But in these battleground states that are neck and neck, where Trump has a slight edge right now which is like a mystery to me People who but the people who are running for Senate and House seats Democrats are ahead In polling by 5 to 8 points, when Biden is behind by 4 to 5 points. So the other Democrats are winning but he's losing. Go figure that so Well then it would be time to.

Speaker 1:

I'm just scared, shitless.

Speaker 2:

I am. It's really simple. All we do is sit him in front of the TV and have the weakest link on President Biden. You are the weakest link. Goodbye. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Speaker 1:

I mean the question is, if he fights it for a while, then eventually he says, okay, too much pressure, I'm going to leave, I'll pass the torch over. Is it the longer he waits going to make it worse, or does it make more sense to get out now so they have time to?

Speaker 2:

get a new person. You know they've got somebody lined up just to slot right in there.

Speaker 1:

Well, his wife was supposed to campaign in Michigan this weekend. She canceled it. People are looking at it as a sign. Maybe she just wants to be with her husband because he's sick. But Vice President Harris hit the point. She got up on a plane. Today she's back on the campaign trail so she's out, but Biden and his wife are not.

Speaker 2:

So conspiracy theory? I don't know.

Speaker 1:

We're just speculating here, that's what we do.

Speaker 2:

We speculate, we speculate, we speculate, yeah. But I mean here's the thing American elections, they always talk about how much money they've got. You know, that's how you win. You've got more money than anyone. Okay, you win. Or you know they talk about you know how many places you've visited? Well, it doesn't matter anymore. You're on TV, you're on the Internet. That should be enough, really, because I mean these personal appearances other than the fact you might get shot.

Speaker 1:

Do you think he's going to do any more rallies? You think he's going to do any more rallies?

Speaker 2:

I don't think. I think.

Speaker 1:

I think he lives for. I think if he did one he'd be scared to death. What I would do I'd have a balloon and just pop that balloon and just watch the man shit himself. I like that idea. That'd be great.

Speaker 2:

Just pop that balloon and just watch the man shoot himself.

Speaker 1:

Okay, I like that idea. That'd be great. Just pop a balloon. What are you doing? My ear, my ear. That's one thing that was really weird at the all the people wearing those stupid bandage ear patches and they're going. Are you making fun of them? No, it's a sign of solidarity, showing that we're with them, you know.

Speaker 2:

No, I think it's just. You're a few bricks short of a load there, pal.

Speaker 1:

Well, you know, it's the Democrats not to be left out to show their solidarity to Biden. There are people wearing pants with shit stains on the back. I missed him again.

Speaker 2:

Damn, hang on, let me reload. Okay, I missed him.

Speaker 1:

Did you get the solidarity part the Democrats are doing?

Speaker 2:

Did I what? That's what I thought.

Speaker 1:

What do you mean? That's what I thought. Democrats are wearing the ear pads to show solidarity to Trump. Right Democrats not to be left out are wearing pants with shit stains on the back to show that they're a support for Biden. It went right over you there. No, I was shooting people, you've been shooting people. I'm doing a damn joke, oh oh really you were.

Speaker 2:

What was that one? Earlier I can oh really you were, what was that one earlier you fucked up my joke.

Speaker 1:

You're too busy taking aim at the guy again. That's part of me. I need a drink. I'm getting stressed out thinking of him winning. I gotta get a drink.

Speaker 2:

Likewise, should we just?

Speaker 1:

I'm looking this way. So you see the Democratic convention coming up soon. So you see, you saw them roll out. Celebrities like Hulk Hogan, Kid Rock and the Democrats will be there. All of a sudden. You're going to see people like Obama, Clooney, George Clooney, you know, and a bunch of other folks Class A celebrities. I mean, just think about that White trash Hulk Hogan, Kid Rock grade A celebrities for Democrats and Biden. It's just like, think about it, folks, what do you want? That's exactly what it is. I'm just scared to death. I don't know what to do. Here's the thing to watch in the coming weeks. Okay, Will Biden stay or go?

Speaker 1:

Will Trump resume doing his rallies that he lives for? How's he going to do a normal campaigning without rallies? And if you look at that rally in Pennsylvania, nothing but white people. There were two blacks here who were probably paid to be there. They do that a lot, so that's common knowledge of Trump stuff and they wear all this god-awful Trump clothing and hats and shit. It's a big white trash party. You know, At a normal political rally you don't look like a freedom. You just came out of the trailer. It'll be interesting to see. Will they do rallies? Will Biden stay or go. So there's exactly, and I mean it's been a lot of people dying lately, you know. So everyone's been dying except for Trump.

Speaker 2:

I know it's always the wrong damn people, isn't it?

Speaker 1:

Well, you know, clint Eastwood's like 94, something like that. He's up there, isn't he? He's had a girlfriend for the last 10 years. He didn't marry this woman but they've been living together and that's been his main squeeze the last 10 years. Well, she died yesterday, oh really, and she's 61 years old. So Clint's 94 and his girlfriend's 61. 33-year age difference. He's out there still going, and the young one doesn't make it. I mean he will. Is that it yeah?

Speaker 2:

That's what it is. Feel lucky punk.

Speaker 1:

Get undressed punk but you're 94. Shock of seeing me naked at 94 Is enough to.

Speaker 2:

What do you mean to say? That thing still works, holy shit.

Speaker 1:

Oh, it's the punk, it's the pump. He, he, he, he, he, he. Pump that 90-plus year old dick up. Pump it up until you can feel it. Pump that 90 plus year old dick up. You're going to get pumping up.

Speaker 2:

So you are lucky, aren't you? Look at that, I didn't think that was possible. Honey, quick, let me jump, that's it.

Speaker 1:

It's just. It's just been a strange summer People dropping like flies in the past week, except for the, except for the one guy we were hoping for. It's like I remember. I remember when it happened I was out in the garage doing something. My wife goes, they're shooting at Trump, they're shooting at Trump. And my first I came in. I'll never forget what I said. I said did they get him? That's what.

Speaker 2:

I said, yeah, I mean, I started watching it, just as it happened, I think, because there's firecrackers or something going. Oh wait a minute, Trump, he's behind the podium. Oh, this doesn't look good, I'm going, he's back up. And now it doesn't look good. He's pumping his fist in the air.

Speaker 1:

You know he's turning to the camera, going fuck you. It's like the service people let him raise his head up, going, okay, whoever's out there, again we're giving you another opportunity here, you know, so go for it. You know the conspiracy theories are already happening. People are going like it was a setup. That's why the Secret Service didn't stop the gunman. You know, Of course.

Speaker 2:

They would have found a more well somebody with a slightly better aim. You know if you're going to do that, well, maybe the guy was on the.

Speaker 1:

I mean they're thinking the guy was on the radar. They saw him coming, so you know, that's why they let him get up there. No one stopped him. That's why they saw him up there on the roof of the gun. They didn't shoot him until he made a few shots. Had to make it look good. I shoot him until he made a few shots. Had to make it look good. I guess they were hoping the kid would do the job. It's just all these conspiracy theories are going. It's all a setup. You know, you get two theories that it's a setup. One the Secret Service let it happen because they were hoping they'd kill him, okay. The other conspiracy theory is that it's all a big hoax to make him look good. Okay. The latter, the last one. Well, that kid's a damn good shot then. So he's trying to make him look good. He's aiming just for his ear.

Speaker 2:

I mean she's you know If that's what he was aiming for. He did a great job. Yeah, he's a great shot, yeah, great shot.

Speaker 1:

He was aiming for his head. And how did they kill the sniper? Got it right in the head. One shot to the head.

Speaker 2:

Did you not know that One shot to his head, to the sniper, the assassin? I know that they caught him. I didn't know how or where One shot.

Speaker 1:

One shot right there, the same shot he was trying to do. That's how he got so one shot to the head.

Speaker 2:

Well, I guess he didn't have his sights worked in properly. That's all I can say.

Speaker 1:

It's kind of weird because they released the official call to death today and the cause they listed is homicide.

Speaker 2:

Okay, homicide yeah.

Speaker 1:

He was murdered by a secret service, so is that guy going to get prosecuted? I doubt it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, he was murdered by Secret Service. So is that guy going to get prosecuted?

Speaker 1:

I doubt it Does he have immunity like Trump does. He can do whatever he wants to do. Secret.

Speaker 2:

Service guy. Is this true? Well, then again Trump could pardon him. He's going to pardon everybody. It's January 16th. He'll open the floodgates.

Speaker 1:

Let them all out. My peoples go back to the everybody. It's January 16th. He'll open the floodgates. Let them all out. My peoples Go back to the Capitol. Do it again. This time you will not be prosecuted. I will not let it happen, but I will let them shoot you. This reminds me I used to watch and see movies a lot. They would be like in the future, all the bad things that could happen. That's what I feel like. What we're coming up to. It's like if he wins and if he doesn't win hopefully, god, I'm wrong, but I'm just basing this stuff on what he says. I'm not making this crap up. I'm just repeating something he said.

Speaker 2:

You know what? All you've got to do is watch Back to the Future, and it's all right there.

Speaker 1:

And it's all right there. I got a call from he's a we're at the Attorney General's office in Virginia. He listens to our show and he wanted to make sure that we covered this. Well, I said, no problem, we're going to do it. So I didn't know who was a listener. When you do podcasts, you don't know who's out there turning you on, who's downloading. You have no idea, that's true. You don't know who's out there Turn you on, he's downloading. You have no idea, you know, that's true. We hear from you folks, so so I do want to apologize for it. One of Mr Attorney General's office. Hopefully we covered it well for you and you like what we had to say about it. Shoot, so. So says Costello. Shoot again, and I apologize to the rest of our listeners that we had to do so much on freaking politics. But Jesus Christ, I mean it's a lot that's happened in the last week.

Speaker 2:

And we haven't even touched England yet. I don't know what's going on. I haven't heard anything from over there, it's all about Paris now, because the Olympics are coming up.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, right.

Speaker 2:

Paris, where they can't sell a hotel room apparently.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we knew what they were doing. Instead of like normally, they have the parade of athletes come out in like a stadium like China, and all of a sudden they come out. You know.

Speaker 2:

England.

Speaker 1:

Instead of having a march, they're going to be in boats going down the river. So each country and their athletes will be in an open boat, like a pontoon boat with no top, floating down the river. You know, here comes Russia. They'll be in a boat. Sink it. That's how they're going to do it. They're not going to be in that stinky.

Speaker 2:

China, for example. God, they send hundreds of people. I'm sure they'll have more than one boat for China.

Speaker 2:

They'll be hanging on, if not sink it. You know it's. They have a race down the Thames every year. I'll be hanging on, if not, it's sinking. They have a race down the Thames every year. It's called the boat race between Oxford and Cambridge right, two big universities over there, that's true. One year I said to my mother, because this is something we bet on, you know, get on the bookies. And I said hey, why don't we just just for shits and grins? Why don't we just bet on them sinking, one of them sinking, so that'll never happen. It did happen once before when my mother and father, my dad, was doing news back then for the BBC and they did sink Anyway. So I thought I wouldn't be able to ask Come on, let's put some. Anyway, they did sink Anyway, so I thought I wouldn't be able to ask Come on, let's put some anyway.

Speaker 1:

we didn't, and they did. They did sink. It's bad because you know in Vegas every scenario that there is. I'm sure they have a category about the boat sink.

Speaker 2:

I'm sure they did, but I bet they didn't have one for the whole crew getting sick and throwing up and jumping into the river.

Speaker 1:

I wonder what they would think. The river, it runs too long.

Speaker 2:

Is it a clean river or is it just not so good? I wouldn't drink it unfiltered, but apparently they said they drunk some. Well, no, after what's been going on, they're putting raw sewage in the Thames again. So the answer to that is no.

Speaker 1:

Well, the river they run to Paris. They're trying to clean it up because they want to do some event where they have to swim in the river, but they're saying it's actually filthy, dirty the scene. The river is supposed to be god-awful filthy. Now they're going to pray to athletes on the murky thing they're trying to clean up so they can have a couple events where they actually swim in the river.

Speaker 2:

They're going. No, thank you, that's okay.

Speaker 1:

Who's excited about the Olympics? Nobody. Everyone who starts, I'll get into it. It'll be something different to watch. It's not political. Maybe hopefully it won't be, but you know.

Speaker 2:

Well, we'll see. I can see it now Newscast in like the next week. Well, the Olympics happened last week and that's what we have to say about it.

Speaker 1:

Well, you know, nbc's got it. They'll be covering everything. They'll be wall-to-wall coverage. I do want to watch Simone Biles the gymnast, because she's pretty awesome. I do want to watch Some of the swimming. We have some good athletes that swim. We've got some really good athletes in track and field as well too. I just want to watch specialized highlighted events. They've got breakdancing this year as an Olympic event, they call it something else.

Speaker 2:

Break your freaking neck. I don't know what it is. Breakdancing the job I had in Colorado at KIIQ. I had my own breakdancers. This is when it first came out. It was a couple of Spanish kids and a bunch of black kids. They were very good. We put on a show. We put on a show in Denver, so you had only black kids in Colorado dancing for you, yeah. I've got the paper. I got a double spread. You know those like a paper within a paper on Sunday.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Right, okay, I had the front page of that, I had the centerfold on that as well. It wasn't just about me, but it was primarily about me and the kids.

Speaker 1:

That's what you did back then, because you're actually showcasing black people in Colorado, which is a rare thing, yeah, and so basically yeah.

Speaker 2:

I have a copy of that. It's not terribly easy to read. I realized later that I gave this girl who was also involved in it, gave her just all kinds of credits only because I wanted to screw her. Unfortunately, I didn't do myself any favors. I didn't get to screw her and she lost the credit.

Speaker 1:

Damn it, but from that also another new Olympic category, this year too is skateboarding oh well, same thing really, isn't it?

Speaker 2:

it's the same genre, kind of category. This year too is skateboarding? Oh well, same thing, really, it's the same genre.

Speaker 1:

Well, maybe they'll have hip-hop next year Rapping, who knows? I don't know.

Speaker 2:

They used to have things like painting in the Olympics originally.

Speaker 1:

They didn't know about that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they did.

Speaker 1:

Summer or the winter Olympics.

Speaker 2:

Which one? Oh gosh. Well, that'll be interesting to see what happens with the breakdancing.

Speaker 1:

I'm surprised with our budget. We're not going broadcasting live from Paris to cover the Olympics.

Speaker 2:

That's because we're coming to Hawaii.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you are. I'm just saying if our listeners would contribute some money we would be more happy to go to Paris. We do have a place to stay. I have a couple of guys who you're going to be meeting next week, my French guy buddies.

Speaker 2:

And then next to their house is in Nice.

Speaker 1:

Let's take a little short drive up. It's beautiful down there. You get there right, Just go up to Paris and watch so yeah, yeah, just watch it on TV in Nice, that'll be great. I think Paris is beautiful. I like the city as well, but I have to admit I like the south of France a whole lot better.

Speaker 2:

Oh, yes, me too. Oh, yes me too. We used to go on camping vacations there and I just remember the smell of the pine trees.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's gorgeous. The wine country down there, it's just gorgeous. Yes, it's gorgeous when you get to the water gorgeous.

Speaker 2:

It's just great, Fabulous part of the world. Oh well, it's a shame we won't make that.

Speaker 1:

Let's just make ourselves depressed because we're not going.

Speaker 2:

You are still going. The free trip to hawaii, don't get me started, okay, okay, okay. Well, you know you can donate anytime you want, because it does cost quite a bit of money to do what we do when it's coming out of our pockets, has done since day one and um. So you can, of course, go to chris and costellocom and on there you there you'll see like a donate button Just hit that and give us what you can. Yeah, this is the original Cancelled Radio Guys. Yes, there's only one of us and we are substantially different from anybody else. Well, now, lots of people know us and like us and stuff. So that's good, there we go. This is the original Cancelled Radio Guys with yours truly and Chris Bailey stuff. So, that's good, there we go, the original cancelled radio guys with yours truly and Chris Bailey.

Speaker 1:

Send money. We'll broadcast for money. We'll do anything for money.

Speaker 2:

We'll let this guy go, okay.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you're going to Hawaii. Yeah, you go into.

Speaker 2:

Hawaii. We'll buy him some.

Speaker 1:

I'm taking many of it, cause you're going to go to Hawaii before you go. Yeah, right after labor day we're taking a little mini vacation going to Sarasota Florida.

Speaker 1:

Oh check it out Once again, as potentially, you know, this will be an exciting factor, If we're going to move there or not. You're going to move there. Let the white see what it's like when it's still summertime and summertime temperatures and humidity. Does she think she can deal with that? Because last time I took her, it was last December I got tested. I get to go in the summer, then that's what I decide. I don't. I think we're probably going, don't you know? I'm thinking we're probably going to be going. So anyway, I like it there.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, sounds like a good plan. Find a radio station. I mean, I live in the mountains.

Speaker 1:

I love the mountains, but I miss the beach. I'll move to the beach. You know what? I miss the freaking mountains, I mean you can do more with a beach.

Speaker 2:

I mean you can either sit on the beach or you can go in the water, or you can get on a boat and you can go fishing either in the water or in a boat. Lots of things you can do with a beach.

Speaker 1:

I do miss having a boat. I'll bet.

Speaker 2:

Miss having a boat. Well, you'll just have to buy a radio station out there and get one on trade.

Speaker 1:

I can play golf year-round down there. You radio station out there and get one on trade. I can play golf year-round down there, you know.

Speaker 2:

So yeah, your game could use a bit of sharpening. Yeah, I noticed.

Speaker 1:

Watch it Buster. When we played, we went out to play. You've never played before. The first time I played in about a year, you know.

Speaker 2:

so, Actually, not having played, in a year it was Having had those shots in my back. I could do it now without any problem, because that's what I was doing All right?

Speaker 1:

Well, since you mentioned that, so next time I see you, we're going golfing again.

Speaker 2:

All right, yep. As soon as the shots are holding up, you're having the same thing, aren't you?

Speaker 1:

I am in a week and a half. I'm having shots in my back and around my foot to do nerve blocks, so just to disilluminate some nagging ongoing pain. So Excellent.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's same thing I'm doing.

Speaker 1:

Except just me having a shot. My back is is pain, so I'm going pain, pain to eliminate pain. Okay Well, just take one pain for another, right that's exactly it.

Speaker 2:

Well, no, you get your pain. Actually interesting my back stopped hurting, but then my hips started hurting. Oh Christ, oh, I think it's not Okay.

Speaker 1:

So In this way. We're not Biden, so we're doing okay.

Speaker 2:

You know what? And there's no royal scandal this year. What is up with the people? You know they. Always it's boring man.

Speaker 1:

It's boring.

Speaker 2:

Not good.

Speaker 1:

We'll have to find our news Not much exciting news coming out of England, so sorry about that there is nothing. I promise our listeners that next week we're not going to do any freaking politics, unless something happens. And what could happen? Either Biden leaves or he doesn't. So if he doesn't leave, we won't talk about it. If Trump does a rally, it'll be like shoot, duck whatever. Pop the balloon. That'd be fun. I just don't think he's going to do one yet.

Speaker 2:

Donald Duck Yep.

Speaker 1:

Otherwise we promise we can't see you guys next week. No politics, that means we'll have to go back to actually. He can't see me, but I'm promising.

Speaker 2:

He's got his fingers crossed behind his back. That's right.

Speaker 1:

Can't see me.

Speaker 2:

All righty. Well, I guess that feels like that about wraps it up it does, and who's squealing?

Speaker 1:

this week? Oh, I don't know. The guy with the ear patch on is squealing this week. Baby, you betcha that buzzing by his head. He hit the deck. He was squealing like a little pig, Squealing like a little bitch Squealing like a little bitch. You got it making him squealing like a little bitch, Squealing like a little pig. Where's the shot? Can't have those.
