The Original canceled radio guys. Chris and Costello: SEASON 6
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).

Fashion Follies and Debate Dramas: Golf Triumphs, Pet Myths, and Music Memories
Have you ever wondered what happened to the quirky fashion trends of yesteryear? Join us as we reminisce about the hilariously outdated "dickie" and share a laugh over Chris's impressive golf game at Castle Pines, where he managed to shoot a 79, surpassing even some pros! We'll also light-heartedly ponder the perplexing disappearance of squirrels in our neighborhoods while comparing the growing popularity of pickleball to classic sports like tennis and golf.
We'll take a swing at the recent presidential debate between Vice President Harris and former President Trump, where Harris's sharp tactics left Trump flustered and off-topic. Amidst laughter, we'll debunk some of the wildest conspiracy theories that followed, including the bizarre notion that Harris received the questions in advance via her earrings. Plus, get ready to chuckle as we dissect Trump's outlandish claim about people allegedly eating pets in Springfield, Ohio, and share our quirky experiences with TikTok versus Instagram.
Finally, we'll reflect on the shifting landscape of the music industry, bemoaning the decline of iconic bands and the rise of solo artists and DJs. From the disco era's boogie nights to today's digital age, we cover it all, with shout-outs to legends like Billie Eilish and Snoop Dogg. We'll wrap things up with a playful discussion on the latest buzz in television, including Ryan Seacrest's next moves and Vanna White's contract saga on "Wheel of Fortune." So tune in, laugh along, and let's reminisce together!

All right, hi, this is Chris.
Speaker 2:This is Costello. How you doing, mr Costello. Oh, I'm doing fabulously. Thank you very much. Looks like you're wearing your dickie today, my dickie.
Speaker 1:You remember what a dickie is? Oh yeah, we were growing up. We are baby boomers. You should know this stuff. Though, Remember that you wore under a shirt. It was just like a square thing. It was like a tape to it. I could call it a dickie. Oh, that's a dickie. Oh, okay, and what you're wearing? That's a dickie. That's a dickie.
Speaker 2:Big dickie. Who's a big dickie, then? Who's a big dickie?
Speaker 1:I knew he was going to come down to size.
Speaker 2:I had to come down to putuses.
Speaker 1:Everything does Everything. Would someone be offended if we walked?
Speaker 2:in with your dickie, I don't remember.
Speaker 1:She knows you don't remember. I can't believe you don't know. That was a big fashion thing for about a year. Every guy's wearing a dickie. You get these dipshits in my class who wear like a white shirt and a black dick. You see the square, square, square in the back and then the short one back there.
Speaker 2:It was a fashion statement I can see your bra straps.
Speaker 1:I got to tell you I'm pretty excited here. Something happened to me this week. I know you can give two sh shifts but I'm going to tell you no, I don't care. Fake interest and excitement, okay, about a month ago. About a month ago, the PGA FedEx Championship Tour determined this year's champion. I don't know why. They had a tournament in Castle Pines, colorado. It was the BMW Championship. 50 of the best golfers in the world were here right down the street playing Beautiful course, great tournament. Wednesday I got to go play that course in Castle Pines, okay.
Speaker 1:So it's 51 of the world's greatest golfers, then Nope 50 and one wannabe, okay, but that day, wednesday, once again, fake excitement here didn't mean shit to you, but yours truly went out and played that course first time ever and shot a 79. Thank you very much, I'll take that, thank you. Oh, you're just too. Stop it. You're embarrassing me. Stop it. I shouldn't, I shouldn't, oh well're embarrassing me.
Speaker 2:I shouldn't, I shouldn't. Oh well, that deserves half a cup of coffee here you go.
Speaker 1:I was hoping for she didn't such a great score.
Speaker 2:I'd get a dickie oh you don't have one of your own.
Speaker 1:Not like that, not with straps.
Speaker 2:But this is all the rage, my friend. I tell you I'm starting something.
Speaker 1:You want to get a female hot? Just say I have a striped picky.
Speaker 2:A striped Richard when he gets excited.
Speaker 1:I know you're probably going. Okay, he's had a 79 in golf. What does that mean to me? Absolutely nothing to you. But that's You're right. But is that me?
Speaker 2:Absolutely nothing to you, but that's You're right. But is that good? That's my question.
Speaker 1:That round of golf is better than some of the pros shot on certain days. Okay, Wow, that's pretty good. Some of the pros are in the low 80s mid 80s. They're having a bad day, but me to break 80 on a course like that and shoot in the upper 70s. That's a big, stinking deal, gotcha. I'm not going to play golf anymore because I'll never be able to replicate that.
Speaker 2:Okay, pickleball then.
Speaker 1:Do you?
Speaker 2:know what I was looking at, flipping around the TV channels, and there is a pickleball channel, there's a Spanish pickleball channel, there's a French.
Speaker 1:I mean it might be fun to play, sure, actually, espn has shown some pickleball championships, which is about the most boring damn thing you'd ever want to watch.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and there's nobody watching it and there's no crowd and there's nobody going. Ooh.
Speaker 1:I mean, if you go watch a tennis to the US Open just finished, best tennis play, that's fun. I mean, if you go watch a tennis to the US Open just finished, yes, best tennis play, that's fun to watch, exciting, it's just one-on-one. I mean, you know, I used to play tennis a lot. It's a great sport. It's a lot of fun. Pickleball, I've been thinking about you know picking it up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you're out, put you around doing a little thought about golf, but golf is actually quite watchable.
Speaker 1:It can be, especially if you get the good golfers and it's a really pretty setting. A good course. It can be pretty good. Yeah, just the daily stuff, like we're doing the John Deere opening in Buckwheat Ohio this week. Those aren't fun to watch. You skip them.
Speaker 2:No, no, and you can see all the immigrants in the background chasing the squirrels and the cats and the dogs for lunch.
Speaker 1:That sounds like a typical day in Columbia, South Carolina.
Speaker 2:It probably is. You know, I haven't seen many squirrels. I was thinking about this yesterday. I don't know where all the squirrels have gone. I could sit here and look out the window and there'd be squirrels running around.
Speaker 1:You're going to say the immigrants have eaten the squirrels in South Carolina.
Speaker 2:Is that where you're going with this?
Speaker 1:I think it might have been the next door neighbors I was going to say, after what you've been telling me about your neighbors for a couple of years, I would say I'd bet money on your neighbors in a heartbeat. Yes, it was them. What do you think those outside fires are for? We got squirrel on a stick Squirrel on a stick.
Speaker 2:Squirrel for dinner. Squirrel for dinner.
Speaker 1:Yeah Well, I don't know what it's like where you are today, Guy. I know you like to do weather and traffic, but I have to say that here in Colorado today we have like 8% humidity. It's a beautiful sunny day and a cloud in the sky 82 degrees. Smoke is due to come in from the California fires, maybe a little bit over the weekend. But man, this is, this is West. Rather right here. Even in Vegas, where I'll be going next week, it's going to drop into the mid 80s and upper 50s at night. Holy crap.
Speaker 2:Finally, finally, do you know? I mean, I don't think I've been out this summer at all. I haven't been fishing, I haven't ridden my motorcycle, hardly at all. That's not like you. I mean, you love to go fishing. Why aren't you going fishing? I found like two places to go. I think I've caught three fish. I don't know, I just don't, I just didn't feel like it.
Speaker 1:I do. Now I can tell you haven't been up by the shits and urine stains on the sheets behind you. You have this great motorcycle. You haven't taken that out.
Speaker 2:No, now the tags are run out.
Speaker 1:Well, take a chance, go ahead. Oh, I will, I don't care.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I have so little respect for this county or this state that you know. Hey, I'll steal a dollar from them, you know.
Speaker 1:I'll ride my bike. I got two cars with expired tags with the. You know so.
Speaker 2:Oh hell, my Mercedes. Before this one I was about a year's worth of tags, that's brilliant, at the risk of implicating myself might as well.
Speaker 1:okay, I had this. My convertible is the. The tag's been expired since 2019. Okay, that's a long. It's been a while five years. The reason is because it's the. The hardtop went back in the convertible and it hit the wind and it cracked and broke, so I had to drive it slow down to the dealership like that because I couldn't do anything with it. So I'm like five miles an hour. It took me like three hours to get there. Then covid hit and they had to get the parts in it from from germany. Right, there were no parts coming in from germany, so it's set there in their in their shop lot for two years, okay, so when they finally could get the parts to come in after COVID started lashing up in early 2020, early 2023, they said we could finally get some parts coming in Great.
Speaker 1:So it took a few months to get the parts because you know, things were coming in on the ships, they weren't getting in the trucks. Remember all this stuff? It seems like a long time ago, but it was only just a couple of years ago. So they finally got the parts in in 2023. Okay, they in 2023. I could do the work. It was ready in late 2023.
Speaker 1:I didn't renew my tags and stuff during that whole period of time. I don't know what the heck it's going to cost. I'm afraid to drive it around because, having a 19 sticker on it, it just says pull me over, pull me over. I was at the airport and I'm looking up. I didn't see any cameras or stuff, so I took the 25 sticker off. Uh, somebody else's cards. Oh, that's well, that'll keep me from getting pulled over. But if I do get pulled over, oh boy, I don't have a registration. I punched this up on the computer. I'm going, I I'm gonna be in trouble, but it's just just for short little spurts down the road to the store and stuff. And when I get back from this Vegas trip, the first thing on my list I have to go to DMV and find out what it's going to cost me to get this car up to date.
Speaker 1:So I dread it but I have to do it. So even that a jail.
Speaker 2:so what the heck I've already done that Pre-port and lodging.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, it wasn't all that fun. I won't do that again.
Speaker 2:No, no, it's not highly rated, Not the thing to do. Yeah, the fellas were no fun. I thought perhaps maybe it would catch on. You know when you're going through that, but apparently not.
Speaker 1:Well, prison is a growth industry in the United States and it is growing by leaps and bounds. They're overcrowded, it just can't get people in fast enough.
Speaker 2:It's like my dickie here. This will catch on Going to jail.
Speaker 1:Well, it took between the last time you wore that dickie and today. It took about 35 years for the dickie to become a fashion statement again.
Speaker 2:It's probably time for it to come around. That does tend to happen. I've noticed that you can't need a good, solid Dickie. A good Dickie, I mean Dickie, yes, sorry, solid. A working Dickie, workable Dickie, yes, ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to the original canceled Dick, so sorry, cancel.
Speaker 1:Let's have a theme. We do have a theme. We're baby boomers and today we're being babies. Today. Welcome to tick tock. I could be a new app. I think we're tick tock, tick tock hey, it's a brilliant idea.
Speaker 2:That was so funny. I'm sorry, I'm just trying trying to help the editors out because I go. Ooh, they laughed at that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it helps to let people know we are producers, are from France and they're in France. You made a good point because you know, sometimes we've done some stuff that's pretty outrageous, pretty funny or just just humor, you know, and they always put things up on snippets of our show on Instagram, facebook, tiktok, every outlet there is, and they always put the point for maybe about two minutes of the show. We're absolutely dead serious and that's the snippets they put out there and to them they're going. Man, you guys are so funny, I'm going. Why don't you put freaking funny bits out there? But you made the good point, castelli, because French are not known for having a good sense of humor. Seriously, they're not. You would know more than me. They're your neighbors.
Speaker 2:It goes on a sliding scale from German to French, to probably Belgium, I suppose. As far as lack of humor, I think Germans are well known for no sense of humor, germans are happier people now, I would think.
Speaker 1:But French have always been kind of like shnoddy, stuffy, da-da-da.
Speaker 2:Well, they were until the revolution, when they cut everybody's head off. Aristocracy, which I think is an idea that perhaps, maybe Harris might want to use in her campaign. Bring back the guillotine. You've got too much money. We're going to cut your head off and take your money. It's more of a Trump thing.
Speaker 1:In France is a Dickey, a fashion statement in France Le Dickey, le Dickey.
Speaker 2:Le Dickey, le Dickey. I've seen all those guys with it. I mean, this is a French thing, these T-shirts, it is a French dickhead, that's true. They do wear little T-shirts with a cigarette, with a cravat, cravat.
Speaker 1:When I was there, like the south of France is very nice, but in Paris some people were nice to me, some were not. There were some dickheads Okay, dickheads.
Speaker 2:So to our French producers. Okay, now wait a minute. Is that le dickhead or la dickhead?
Speaker 1:I would say la dickhead Okay. And if I was talking to someone just direct to the face, I'd go the dickhead.
Speaker 1:Well, it's male or female, isn't it, le yeah, so I would just say this message to our French producers okay, in charge of our social media, put snippets out there that have some sense of humor. Okay, we'll help you pick them out. Okay, we'll help you along by going ha ha, ha, ha ha, I can see now, let's see this going. What are we doing with this Dickie thing? What is it? Well, there's Dickie. That'll be the first thing they go. What the what is it? Well, it's Dickie. That'd be the first thing they'd go. What the hell's a damn Dickie, shit Dickie. I mean. I wish you have to admit, though, this has been quite a week. This has been a great week for material. Let me show the debate. Did you watch the whole thing right?
Speaker 2:Actually, you know what? I was editing the long form of a last show for a lot of that, and I could hear him go and I go oh, I've got to watch this. And, yes, I saw the edited highlights too, and they were hilarious. I mean, it was exactly what I thought it would be.
Speaker 1:The funniest part because everyone's, I guess, in agreement, except for Trump is that Harris won the debate because she got under his skin and got him off topic fast and so he was defending himself. He was yelling the whole thing. He never looked at her, never called her by her name, and just yelling the whole time, but because of that, the reason that she won. The conspiracy theorists are coming out already, so the first one that came out hilarious is like ABC gave Vice President Harris the questions in advance. That's why she did so well.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, it doesn't make so much difference to her.
Speaker 1:No, no, like we didn't know the questions they asked were coming anyway. We knew they were coming, okay.
Speaker 2:Immigration economy you know that's something I want to raise. You know, you talk about racism, you talk about fascism and there's the orange shit-gibbon going. We're going to round them up and we're going to deport them. Like fucking hell man.
Speaker 1:We've got 40 million people If he's elected president, he's going to deport 10 to 11 million immigrants who are rapists, crooks, drug addicts. All 11 million are sucky. Of course, as you know, america's built on immigrants and immigration Anyway so that's a whole nother topic.
Speaker 2:Go down the street, just grab anybody. Okay, that's it, you're going home. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1:He's going to fire all federal workers in the country who aren't loyal to him and he's going to pardon everyone who was a part of the January 6th riots. He put those guys back out there again and by pardoning them, what are you telling them? That it's okay what they did? And of course they'll go do it again, knowing that they'll be pardoned by their great extreme supreme leader. But I love that part. It's like okay. So the excuse number is that ABC gave Vice President the questions in advance. She knew what was coming. That's why she was more prepared than Trump. Of course she did prepare and he did not. Second theory, which is a great close up shot of the earrings Vice President Harris is wearing they were saying those in reality are earbuds and they're feeding her the answers and stuff and what to say during the debate.
Speaker 3:So, as you all know, ai Trump is very different from the real Trump, because AI Trump tells the truth. And here's the truth about last night's debate. It was an absolute disaster for me. She destroyed me, she dominated me and made me her simpering little bitch boy. She handed me my ass on a silver platter. She essentially ripped off my head and shit down my neck. She forced me over her knee and spanked my fat ass until it was red and made me call her mommy and then whip my ass some more and dress me up in a bra and panties and showed me off to her buddies.
Speaker 3:The woman virtually cut off my balls and stuffed them in my mouth. She put a dog collar on me and made me crawl around on all fours and ordered me to bark, and she made me smell the glove. She led me around by a leash and put huge rubber things up my butt and put a video of it on the internet. It was a fucking bloodbath. It was a holocaust of humiliation and domination and total defeat. But other than that, I think I did okay.
Speaker 2:Pathetic. I mean, they're eating our dogs, they're eating our cats. I can remember those kind of things going on when I lived in Oklahoma City. There were some Vietnamese people who lived down just down a road and they go you know, your cat might get eaten by these people and I say, oh, get over it. You stupid fucking people Really Excuse the expression.
Speaker 1:I can only say I mean I laughed. I just burst out with a big laugh out loud. It was the funniest thing. I went, springfield, ohio. They're eating the people's pets and dogs. I just burst out laughing out loud. They were showing college groups of people gathering to watch the debate, to learn about politics and get their opinions, but every place you showed across the country when he did that was all burst out laughing. He was going, he. What Vice president Harris went. All she had to say was like that's extreme. I mean, it's like it's just so, and I liked the fact that they fact check him on it right away. They're going, uh, uh, they're going, president Trump. We just talked to the city manager in Springfield. There's no such reported instance of anyone eating animals, pets or dogs. No such thing. That's not true.
Speaker 2:Where the hell did you get that from? There was a clip on TikTok of this woman being arrested. No, that's TikTok. Tiktok to you. Yeah, one of those, our new channel, tiktok. Why don't you have TikTok then? Because I have TikTok. You were complaining about that last week.
Speaker 1:It's right there on my post. It says download TikTok. That's my weekend plan, my assignment this weekend. I'm going to download TikTok and become a TikToker. I know when we formulate our new TikTok, we know what will play out then.
Speaker 2:Would be a good idea, although I've got Dick Dick Dick talk too, and I can't figure the damn thing out how I find, like you know, we've put stuff up that I I only come by these things by pure accident.
Speaker 1:Let me ask you is it kind of like Instagram? Do you have to follow a certain category or person to be able to get what they're doing? Is that it Um a certain category or person to be able to get what they're?
Speaker 2:doing. Is that it? I'm not sure that's the thing about it. It comes on with all this, remarkably stupid shit.
Speaker 1:People get stuff from us because they've chosen to follow us. Okay, Right. If you don't, how are you going to get our stuff?
Speaker 3:I asked the French guy that.
Speaker 1:They're throwing out there general stuff to build up more followers for us.
Speaker 2:What I've been doing and what they asked our producers asked us to do and I thought this was their job, but never mind is to go onto these things and follow these people on those accounts and like them as well. So I've done a lot of that.
Speaker 1:I haven't done it on TikTok, so you're liking people who are following us and hope that they will like us that we're doing we're double liking.
Speaker 2:No, I'm following them if they like the same kind of things that we do.
Speaker 1:Oh okay, okay.
Speaker 2:The idea is that the computer goes oh, wait a minute. Oh, okay, they like TikTok dicks and so do you. Okay, put it together, okay. So how's that working out? Not bad, actually, instagram's doing not too bad Okay, and you can find us on the original cancelled radio. Guys on Instagram, I think that's what we're called.
Speaker 1:Why were we cancelled? Because we were baby boomers, we were original bad boys of radio when you could be. It led to a couple of firings, but you do it nowadays. You'd be canceled, we'd be canceled, for sure. Oh yeah, we'd be fired. We'd be canceled. We'd be vilified, we'd be sent away to. Siberia.
Speaker 2:Chris and I both have the same experience in Texas. We both got ran out of town. Sure did, sure did, sure did. Yours was a little more reasonable than mine.
Speaker 1:I can't really remember they were going to criminally charge me unless I packed up and left the state I was leaving. Anyway, I said you know, sure, I'm leaving.
Speaker 2:I'm gone. Won't be coming back here no more. You know what I went from there up to Colorado Springs Good move there, that was a good move.
Speaker 2:It was because the little station there was KIIQ and it was a little new wave station. Well, it played what MTV played, and that's why I got in trouble there, because I used to slip other records in. And anyway, I've been driving up there, up I-35, isn't it? No, i-25. 25, okay. So I'm going up I-25, and I just bought this car. It's already overheated once. I've already had one puncture and I've managed to fix all that and I'm driving up there on 25.
Speaker 2:I'm going, that's weird, there's all this luggage in the middle of the road and I'm looking around as I'm going, that's weird, there's all this luggage in the middle of the road and I'm like looking around, you know, as I'm driving, I said, well, that's weird. And then I catch up with these people and what was happening was there was a police chase, probably from like Pueblo on up, maybe further back actually, and it went all the way. And they went all the way up to Manitou Springs, which is where I was going, and there were like cars on the side of the road and this guy was just running people off the road. Couldn't get me out.
Speaker 1:That's a dandy thing, an I-25 in Colorado anyway. So especially coming from Pueblo, which is a big drug town.
Speaker 2:No, it is now.
Speaker 1:It always has been. It always has been yeah.
Speaker 2:I didn't know that.
Speaker 1:I wish you'd welcome to Colorado. Yeah, drug guy transporting drugs and people yeah, probably both.
Speaker 2:I look back on those days with with fondness, except for the fact that I nearly starved to death and nearly froze to death. But yeah, it is. Even though you know some things are really shitty, you'll find a little bit to go. Oh yeah, that was cool. You know, I hear certain music and I go yeah, k I IQ.
Speaker 1:Are we? Are we so far in our show staying with our, with our theme, Cause people want us to have our baby boomer theme? Are we? Are we following that, those guidelines? Are we doing good?
Speaker 2:I think, well, that was baby boomer theme there, that was a baby boomer theme. We're in dating is boomer thing, which, being a Dickie, Dickie's a baby boomer, we can make them a baby boomer thing. In fact, if you go to chrisandcostellocom, get that plug in there, man, get that plug in there, we'll start sending you Dickies just for $9.99.
Speaker 1:We should do Chris and Costello Dickies, why not? Well, all right, we'll do it, we'll have them on sale. I mean a striped hard Dickie, the Kristen Costello Dickie.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it'll look like somebody just got an old T-shirt and cut it up.
Speaker 1:I'll take two so quick question here. So do you think that ABC, provided Vice President Harris with the questions in advance, must have?
Speaker 2:done. She knew all the answers. Okay, right, do you think she's wearing earbuds? Is she wearing earbuds? Well, I didn't like those earrings. I personally would have found something else, but I think so you don't think they're earbuds? Okay, I think the aliens were also whispering into her other ear.
Speaker 1:They're just coming in with some weird stuff like this because you know he didn't do so well Right after the debate. Right after the debate, then, of course, our Taylor Swift and all of her Swifties. She released her thing on Instagram saying I'm supporting Vice President Harris, and here's why Picture of her with a cat, and she signed a Taylor Swift childless cat woman, you know, cat lady, which is great. Good slap of JD there, jd. So she got more attention, believe it or not, than we did when we endorsed her. We got the attention first. She took it away from us with her endorsement.
Speaker 2:Excuse me, I've got a fly in the studio Driving me. Nuts Got him.
Speaker 1:Now you're going to sniff bug spray, he's going to come by and watch the show Raid. That's just another stain on your sheet back there. Now you've got the USA. Now you've got dead bug streaks back there. Oh, I'm sure.
Speaker 2:I've got a few. Well, you might be interested. No, I did my laundry yesterday, if that interests you that much. I actually did. I thought the sheet looked kind of, you know, fresh. This is the backdrop, though this is gray-blue, it's not the, although I could use it as a blanket if things got cold, which they may do.
Speaker 1:So do you think the Taylor Swift endorsement is?
Speaker 2:going to. I think that's brilliant, but we knew that was going to happen anyway. Swing a lot of voters over young voters over. Oh yeah, oh yeah, sure, sure it will. Here's my conspiracy theory. Thank you, you have a conspiracy. Okay, what is your conspiracy theory? My conspiracy theory is this that all the press ABC, bbc, nbc, and all them, cnn they've all decided to say it's a really tight race. They do, yep, it's not. You don't think it is. No, I don't think it is.
Speaker 1:I don't think it is. I'm going, after all the stuff he's been through, especially in that really crappy performance at the debate, and you look at that and you go. You want four more years of that crap again, knowing he's going to protect himself. Get all charges against him dropped. Let those January 6th rioters out try to deport a bunch of people and all the other stuff he's planning on doing.
Speaker 2:I have a million of them.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry, I'm just getting ahead of thinking about it. Remember, the new slogan is this you remember this? Okay, remember the debate I had four years ago? And they're questioning about the racist stuff and the proud boys. Proud boys, uh, stand by and stand down. That's right. It is swifties. Stand by and stand down. Also called upon, the 50s are going to go. We're attacking the voting booth, you know?
Speaker 1:let me tell you how robert candy jr's kind of kind of screwed things up a little bit. Okay, because he asked to be taken off the ballot in north carolina. Okay, people go, so it's a big deal. The big deal is that they've already printed ballots over three million ballots and some are like mail-in ballots and now they have to destroy all those ballots and they got to reprint them all over again, with him off the ballot all together. By doing so you're cutting the time frame of people who are going to have time to do mail-in ballots and stuff. So you're trying to control how North Carolina it's one of the swing states Swing To me I think it is, but you know it's one of the swing states they're trying to control it and make sure that it hurts Vice President Harris by doing things. They're doing all kinds of stuff like that behind the scenes. Not a big newsmaker that story, but it has big implications on possibly how he's going to win that swing state because of what he did.
Speaker 2:Here's the thing that would worry me about this whole thing what you worried, what Me worry, what Me worry? Oh, it's the popular vote. I mean, she's got that, no question about it. But the electoral college, yeah.
Speaker 1:That's why those swing states are important. They can't be screwed with like what Robert Kennedy's doing. What's the big deal? I'll be taking off the ballot. Keep yourself on there. The ballots have been printed, they've been made. Don't affect who can be able to vote and who's not. It's going to affect the minority vote by him doing that, because they rely a lot on mail-in and stuff. I don't know. I think the big thing is that Trump's people are young white guys who are basically stupid. That category of people he's either going to show out to vote no, because they're stupid. They're going to go what? I'll go to rallies, I'll support them. All this stuff. Go vote. What, what, what, what, what's that Not going?
Speaker 2:to happen. I can't afford to go to electoral college. I haven't paid my last student long.
Speaker 1:Harris did a great thing when she told people to go to a Trump rally. Okay, you'd be bored. You hear the same old rhetoric. You see people leaving all of a sudden. I said, man, she pushed the right button.
Speaker 2:After that he lost it after that man. It was pretty good in that bit where she I can't remember exactly what she said, but she stopped herself from saying something really rude about him.
Speaker 1:Remember that was at the end there About killing, the thing thing about aborting babies in the 8th and 9th month and all that crap. I'm going oh, the baby murders, yeah, oh, he's lost. So when this stuff happens, I'm going there's got to be some fun, fun shit online. Well, there is okay. Here's one guy writes and he goes Harris is killing a baby in its 78th year, and that 78 year old baby she's talking about is Trump, who's 78?
Speaker 3:years old.
Speaker 1:Here's one, mr President, here's a question. I'll act like a moderator. Mr President, would you eat a dog if it was killing a baby? You have two minutes.
Speaker 2:That's great. I like that. I like that. It's a good set.
Speaker 3:I like that, I like that it's a good set.
Speaker 1:I like this one, not worried that immigrants will eat my dog, but RFK Jr, on the other hand.
Speaker 2:I'm worried and concerned and confused about what condiments I should use on a cat.
Speaker 1:Always mustard, Mustard and onions.
Speaker 2:I was well, okay, I was thinking ketchup.
Speaker 1:I mean, everyone had to say so. It was so damn entertaining and full of so many Trumpisms. And they tell him Mr Ex-President, stay on point, Talk about policies, You'll have a good shot at it. And he just couldn't do it. So everyone's chiming in because there's so much stupid crap about aborting babies at the end of a full term, eating cats and people's pets. And then, of course, Elon Musk had to jump in. Ok, After she endorsed him, he goes. So he writes on X, which he owns, of course fine, Taylor, you win. I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life. That's kind of a freaking pervert. He's fathered somewhere between 10 and 12 kids.
Speaker 2:You know that right, Apparently something like that. Yeah, he calls it spreading his genius seed.
Speaker 1:Well, he's saying, because this generation is not having kids, not populating, so he's going to make sure he goes. Well, I'll do his part.
Speaker 2:Well, I did my part.
Speaker 1:He thinks he has genius genes, so he spreads it around. So he's offering, after Taylor made her endorsement of being a childless cat lady, he goes Taylor, you win. I'll give you a child and guard your cats with my life.
Speaker 2:Cre Taylor you win, I'll give you a child and guard your cats with my life. Creepy, creepy he is creepy anyway. Creepy Neon Creepy that was his mother. If you've ever seen an interview with her, she's like him, but just even worse. She's totally Because he comes from some aristocracy and they're pretty well nuts anyway, inbreeding, you know.
Speaker 1:Definitely inbreeding sure.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and he's well. You chip off the old block, so to speak, but his mother's, she's out there too. I don't know what his dad's like, or if he's even alive.
Speaker 1:Someone else had a great line. They went. Okay, because he's upset and trying to downplay Taylor Swift endorsed Harris. Someone said I know why he's upset. We have Taylor Swift, he has Chachi Scott Baio, who played Chachi, is a big Trump supporter, taylor Swift on this end and they have Chachi and Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan. I mean, look at the difference and it's like you know.
Speaker 2:Who's the guy who sings? Thank God, I'm an American, oh that stupid Lee Greenwood song Lee Greenwood. Yeah, last time I saw him was in a canteen. Okay, it was a do in Vegas, all right, and he was standing on a table in a canteen miming to that song. It was the saddest thing I've ever seen, he's standing on the table.
Speaker 1:I had forgotten how long that song had been around. You know, when Reagan was running for president he played that song and Lee Greenwich gave the okay, and since then he didn't really want to play anything else. So but it was. It was played a couple of democratic conventions as well too. I think he liked Clinton music, uh. But you know it's been around since Reagan was president. I went you kidding me, I didn't. I knew it was old, but man damn old.
Speaker 2:So well, so it's Lee Greenwood, he's, he's getting on.
Speaker 1:I mean, oh yeah, and for him to sing it at the. The Republicans didn't back Trump. I'm just going, I'll see how Lee's got it. Also, all these Republicans are now saying they're going to vote for Vice President Harris instead of Trump. Tons of Republicans, ex-vice President Cheney nope voting for him. He's like one of the most staunch Republicans ever. He said nope voting for Harris. Of course. His daughter, liz Cheney voting for Harris. Other Republicans in the House and Senate not doing the Trump thing anymore voting for Harris. Meghan McCain, of course. Daughter of Senator John McCain. I just thought was a great guy, shane. I thought he died too young, but he'd been through a lot. He was like a prisoner of war for almost a decade. And Trump goes. I like people who don't get caught, but anyway. So Meghan McCain goes. She thought his performance was awful and the biggest thing, the earring thing. It's a pathetic, sad and stupid conspiracy and Trump blew it. I'm voting for Vice President Harrison Both.
Speaker 1:And I think if he was, alive, he would do the same thing, you know, so he'd probably do the same.
Speaker 2:Like you said, a whitewash, a landslide, but they're just not letting on, you know. I guess to scare everybody we better go out and vote, because you know it's going to be really tight.
Speaker 1:Well, you know, you kind of knew things were bad. When you go to look at Fox News, I said let me see what they're doing, because I got to see, because it was so bad, I see how they're going to spin this to. He did good because it should be called the Trump news channels on the Fox News Network. Even on Fox News the host went. You know what he called it devastating, you know, and that's the network. He realized they couldn't do anything to save it, it just devastated. He sucked.
Speaker 2:He was awful, devastated he was himself. That's all there is to it.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:They didn't want him to be himself, but he just can't help it. So she pushed the right buttons. He lost it. He was yelling the rest of the night, his finger pointing and all this stuff, she, she. Then he started doing Biden again and she had to actually go.
Speaker 2:You're not running against Joe Biden, you're running against me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm not Joe Biden. And she goes.
Speaker 2:I'm definitely not Donald Trump. Vice President Harris.
Speaker 3:Thank you, Andrew.
Speaker 1:Swifties, stand back and stand by.
Speaker 2:Yes, Stand by and stand down.
Speaker 1:Kristen Costello stand by and stand back. You're coming soon. Stand back and stand down. Kristen Costello, Stand by and stand back. You're coming soon. Stand back and stand by.
Speaker 2:We can make it stand by and boogie down.
Speaker 1:That would be more Baby Boomerish. Or more disco. That would be more disco.
Speaker 2:Boomerish, isn't it? I mean, I remember the disco day.
Speaker 1:When it first came out it was a little bit too much. I like the movie Staying Alive yeah, that was good Classic. The music from the movie great stuff. Grease was good. Not a big fan, but Staying Alive I liked a lot. That was good and great music. So it all fit the kind of theme. But going out and stuff, every time you walk into a bar or club it's like. It's like, it's like enough. We used to go see live bands. All the time we were in radio We'd sponsor what kind of contest Battle of the Bands, which is great. You hear local bands and stuff competing. It's great. Good local talent coming up. Sometimes there'll be some really good stuff. When disco came over, live bands clubs are going. Hey, why pay a band? We can save money. Dumb DJ up there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, a couple of flashing lights and plenty of drugs DJs now make $2, $8, $10 million a year Disco days $100 a night during disco days.
Speaker 1:You know Jesus. Up and down the strip in Vegas you got Marshmello, all these other guys DJs. They make millions. I'm going what the hell are they doing?
Speaker 2:Well, do you know what? I heard? An interesting thing One of the guys on the satellite radio, a guy who does the 80s, 80s and 90s, anyway, he's one of the old MTV VJs you're talking about right. No, this guy's from KROQ. Okay, english guy, strangely enough Got a very odd accent.
Speaker 1:First Wave Channel. You mean First Wave Channel?
Speaker 2:Yeah, anyway, he was saying and it wasn't on that, it was somewhere else he was being interviewed. He was saying that if you look now, there are less bands in the top 10 or even the top 30. There are no bands. There are no bands. There are no bands. There are only these individuals, you know, with a backing band, so to speak. You know no backing band, so to speak. You know no, no rolling stones, no talking digital background stuff.
Speaker 1:There's no bands. They go on tour. They don't even try to hide the fact. At least taylor swift has a band. She's got a baby, she does okay well for for the tour. She has a band, you know but, and she should and she does, but you know you're not really well known, it's not like she's a member of a band. That's the band behind her playing music.
Speaker 2:There are no bands like, say, the Clash in their early days, you know, I mean, or at least if they are, they're certainly not here.
Speaker 1:Well, I noticed going in right now. I always check residencies going in Vegas, you know, since it's my home half the time there's only one band having a residency right now in Vegas. Can I guess Aerosmith, no Maroon?
Speaker 2:5. Oh really, now see, in my mind they're a relatively new band, but of course they're not really. They're not really.
Speaker 1:They're like 15 years, you know. So they're actually a band. Adam Levine had to go. He had to go because there was, like you and me, complaining there's no bands anymore. He goes. Well, wait a minute, I'm in a band, which is true.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but there's hardly any, you know, back in the day.
Speaker 1:Gwen Stefani actually did an appearance this past summer I forget what the big music event was and she was headlining Lollapalooza for a couple of days and she got back together with her band. It used to be no Doubt. You never heard Gwen and there was always no Doubt you know, for years. Right, yeah, yeah, they reunited and it was great. People go go on tour, go on tour, so maybe they will?
Speaker 2:I don't know. That'd be interesting, but they're all getting up in their 50s now, yeah.
Speaker 1:But they were a band. They used to be just no Doubt and Gwen Stefani was the lead singer of no Doubt. They were introduced as no Doubt. Now it's just all Gwen Stefani, and for Maroon 5, it's mostly Adam Levine, but he goes. I don't do stuff. Everything I release is with the band Maroon 5.
Speaker 2:Exactly, but the point is that and we belabored this a few times is that bands are not being promoted like they were. They must be out there.
Speaker 1:Give me a name of a band man and folks open your mind to talking about this because the debate's been beating to death. So we all know what happened. We heard all the jokes, we got some stuff in, but let's talk about this. This is good. It's more important. I mean, there are no new bands. Bands are on tour, they're on residency, but the Straves have been around for quite a while.
Speaker 2:I was looking, you know thinking about well, where are the talking heads? You know, the new version of the talking heads, shall we say? I mean think, when that came out Not existing.
Speaker 1:Huh, Like, look at the hit. They are passing off the torch of the Olympics in Paris, taking the torch to the next Summer Olympic Games in LA. Okay, so who did they feature? They featured two artists singing on well, three actually. Oh, that was bizarre, I know. And the band was freaking red-hot chili pepper and there's Flea up there. Flea's got like three teeth left. Here's the shirt off again. I'm going a little bit too old, dude, Get some clothes on. And they've been around for a bit. The singer had a hairstyle that had him like freaking Hitler. He looked like Hitler.
Speaker 1:And then they go from that and then they go to Billie Eilish. Okay, so Today Artist, you know, herder Brother, and they had a little bit of a backup band, but it's basically Billie Eilish. Then there were two everyone's favorite, snoop and Dr Dre, which is, you know, they're trying to do a variety, I guess, but all the bands just showing there was no new band. It had to be Red Hot Chili Pe, hot chili peppers.
Speaker 2:It's just it, just I, like I said, maybe they're just afraid to. I I guess well, everything's changed, Everything's digital, and and you know like we're doing here, doing, doing we get the top 10 songs in the country right now.
Speaker 1:Okay, we're, we're, we're. We come from 40 Blood. You've got Sabrina Carpenter, who's been ruling the charts all year. No man. Chappelle Rome, who people think is just the second coming of this shit. It's just her. She's just an individual artist. Sabuzi, the bar song. Sabuzi, I think. Sabuzi, I'm sorry, I'm drinking. That's some Saboosie. What else is on top up there? There's no band.
Speaker 2:Well, there's nothing that's homegrown. Everything is rather manufactured, and I think even Snoop Dogg's starting to get that way.
Speaker 1:Well, Snoop's a middle-aged guy. Now you know he's going to live off his old songs and his image. He's an Olympic announcer. He was freaking funny doing that. I thought that was a good move On the voice I'm going. Why is he doing that? It's like watching Ryan Seacrest host a Wheel of Fortune. Oh.
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 1:I guess we'll get used to it, that'll be his job until he's as old as Pat Sajak 78 years old or something, if he wants it. But as a kid because I talked to Ryan once he's from the same neighborhood I'm in in Atlanta he was interning at Star 94 in Atlanta and I was doing a couple of shows from there, just broadcasting back when my Atlanta Braves were hot. I met him as an intern and stuff and his goal he wanted to be. He wanted to take over from Casey Kasem, he wanted to be a game show host, he wanted to be all those vanilla announcing jobs, right, he didn't want to ever be controversial, he didn't want to be a personality and stuff. He just wanted to be a Mr. And so he just wanted to be a Mr Announcer guy.
Speaker 1:And he fulfilled his goal, made a lot of money and then at the Wheel of Fortune thing there was a head scratcher. So I'd love to ask him about it. Why do you want to do that? Let's call him we should. I didn't think it was on his resume and stuff. I mean his family still lives down there close to where mine is and I don't know. I mean it's just I watched.
Speaker 2:I mean I found myself watching the Wheel of Fortune, which is kind of bizarre, but I did. And then I you know, so I'm used to Pat Sajak. I mean, hell, he'd been doing for 40 years.
Speaker 1:Yeah yeah, and there's Van Ness up there punching numbers. I mean punching letters. Yeah yeah, I don't think she aged all that well either, so it's time for them both to go. She's hanging around to give him a transition. Plus, she demanded to hang around for that transition to make the same amount of money they've been paying Pat Sajak. She never really had a raise in 40 years. This season they're finally paying her $6 million a year, which is what they paid Sajak.
Speaker 1:They film all those shows in three months a year. It's like a big commitment on time. You're doing a year's worth of show in three months and you're done with it until nine months later. I guess that part's good and the money's good. I guess All the stuff you accomplished you took over from Casey Kasem. That's a big freaking deal. Casey was just shit. Casey Kasem very good guy for you. Don't put me after a god damn dog dedication. Okay, an upbeat song. He just had that. I mean that was the most listened to show. If you had a radio station in the market, I mean if you didn't have the Casey Kasem show, then your station was crap that's right, came in on an album every week every week man, that thing was late.
Speaker 1:Where's Casey show? And it was a big deal. I mean, he made a lot, he made him an millionaire.
Speaker 2:He was good. He was just. Here's the thing, though. I think that Ryan Seacrest I don't see him. I don't know, maybe he will fit in. I mean, I seem like he was doing a good job, he's been rehearsing and everything, but maybe as a baby boomer he's not a baby boomer.
Speaker 1:So you know he's a little bit below us, but I mean. But he ticked off all the boxes. He wanted to take over from Casey Kasem. Right, wanted to take over from Dick Clark. You know Also, Mr Vanilla announcer, never any controversy, I'm just introducing stuff. And Dick Clark said next time I like corny shit. So the secrets had to come up, one secrets out, and then Dick Clark would do the salute thing. So he'd come up with a little weird ending like that. So he clicked off Casey Kasem, clicked off Dick Clark. I didn't know if Game Show was on his list, but I guess there it is.
Speaker 2:So we'll look for him.
Speaker 1:Of course I mean this is rather like was it a guy called Al Hamm? The music of your life.
Speaker 2:Oh right, okay, yep, yep, remember him, yeah Barely. Oh God, that was awful.
Speaker 1:It was, it was bad.
Speaker 2:You'll be working on the AM side.
Speaker 1:It's just. You know his goal is just to fill in for you know some long-running icons, I know game shows. I feel he's filling in for Dick Clark and Casey Kasem. You think that'd be enough? You've got American Idol, which is going to run for whatever they say when. Not enough, I guess.
Speaker 2:Well, this would have to be his. I mean, he could stay there for another 40 years, which would make him he will.
Speaker 1:When he's done with the other stuff he can do, I think, american Top 40 as long as he wants. Casey Kasem was how old when he had to stop the show? 70s, right, late 70s, yeah, I mean introducing 20-year-old acts that he knew nothing about, you know, didn't care less about, didn't like them, you know, but he had to talk about the greatest thing in the world, but that was his job you know, he's just reading. He'd read the info the researchers gave him and he'd just read them using that voice.
Speaker 2:Well, we'll see what Seacrest gets up to next.
Speaker 1:What's left. You got time to do what I mean. He did the talk show, you know.
Speaker 2:Kelly and Ryan. For a while I had to quit that. Kelly and Ryan. Kelly, right, kelly and Ryan. For a while I had to quit that.
Speaker 1:Kelly and Ryan yeah, kelly, and whoever, kelly and her husband now, which is awful, awful, awful.
Speaker 2:Oh it is. Oh, he's horrible. Yeah, I quit watching.
Speaker 1:I quit watching, being the boomer. I quit watching when Regis left.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, yeah, well, he basically died on set, didn't he Pretty much yeah.
Speaker 1:Once he retired, dead within a year. Yeah, some of these guys don't know what to do. You know You've got to watch that. You know Seacrest would be one. You can think of what it took, what he has 15 jobs that he has, hey, hey, hey, what do I do? What do I do? I know Clunk. I would call him an influential guy. He's just like, he's just vanilla. He's just there, you know so.
Speaker 2:He's very Midwestern, very, very vanilla. He's from Atlanta.
Speaker 1:He's not Midwestern, he's from Atlanta, which is where I'm from. Like I said, he's from my neighborhood, southern. I think a guy who is influential that we just don't understand and have a clue over is Joe Rogan, who, after the pandemic moved to Austin, he bought a big place there on Lake Austin. They say he's transformed the way Austin is because of him. He's opened a comedy club there. He appears at what is in town once a week. I've watched his standup special on Netflix. It disappeared in a hurry. I thought this is not funny, but he was. I mean, he did that podcasting thing brand new. I mean way, way, way back when you know, right In 2009 or so or even before, that it just went.
Speaker 2:what the hell was podcasting Bored into Austin before the prices went up?
Speaker 1:That factor used to hold fear factor when he had hair before the steroids kicked in and then being the early announcer guy associated with UFC, that's what put him over the top, because people knew him. From that, they started talking about his podcast and people go oh well, start talking about that. It's like the show to be on. So many people listen. His YouTube channel has millions of listeners. His podcast millions To pose to us we have tens and tens of millions we're in the tens.
Speaker 2:We'll have to look.
Speaker 1:We'll have to look at um I don't know what our numbers, check our numbers. I'm not sure what our numbers are, so, being baby boomers who can't use calculators to add them up, we have to do it by pencil and paper.
Speaker 2:Yeah, pencil and paper. Holy shit, what's that?
Speaker 1:Remember in high school. Remember one of the classes in high school Typing class.
Speaker 2:Oh, just think of all that time You're like clickety-clack down. What the hell is that?
Speaker 1:Your classroom is like 20 typewriters in there. Learn the type. Horrible, not good. That's transformed to a keyboard when a computer happened, but now it's all computer classes. Learn to type on the computer. Learn to text fast on your phone. Do you text with a forefinger or a thumb Finger? Then you're slow as hell.
Speaker 2:I am, that's okay.
Speaker 1:I need to text like this hey, meet me at the corner.
Speaker 2:That's it. Well, mine's also got this thing that you can just talk into it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a good way to go if you're really a slow texter. I do one thumb kind of fast and they got both going on a small little phone and they're doing this. I'm going how do you not have the keys run together? I hit spell check at the end. It's spell check.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, the spell check. That's the problem when you do the dictation, because it doesn't always get it right and sometimes it's disastrous. Yeah, it's like oh, I can't think of a good example. Things like you know, you say something and it comes, comes writes back.
Speaker 1:Hey bitch, I didn't say that, right, I guess Correct. So every time I want to put, like you know, no shit, it always changes, but no shot. Don't put no shot. I want to say no shit, shit, shit, shit shit, shit there.
Speaker 2:Tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki. Oh my God, I'd say we've run the shit out of this today.
Speaker 1:Yeah, real quick guys. Debate was fun. Swifties, swifties stand back and stand by, Stand back and stand by Swifties.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh, stand up and boogie down.
Speaker 1:I have three dogs. I keep them in the house mostly since the debate. I want to make sure they're not eaten by immigrants. That's how stupid things are. It's funny stuff. It was really a good funny week. It wasn't intended to be funny on their end, but it turned out to be really funny for us. We appreciate that. We love that. Trump also said today he made it official. He sees no need for a second debate. That's it Done. That's why we hope we enjoy it. It's not going to be too bad, but I'd like to hear what he comes up with.
Speaker 2:The next one, we'll not have the chance.
Speaker 1:They're going to have the vice president's debate next. If he brings up the childless cat lady, that could be fun.
Speaker 2:It could be you know who will do it Against the coach.
Speaker 1:On behalf of our canceled radio guys here and our baby boomer audience and everybody else and Costello's striped hard dickie, it's good night from me and good night from him.
Speaker 2:Oh, the secret.
