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

I asked Chris of Chris and Costello, the canceled radio guys. Man, the world's gone to hell this week. You got you got demonstrations, you got political assassinations and military parade gone wrong, with all that stuff going on. Costello has to try to one up all these things. We're going to talk about that, but first we have to talk some serious business. I mean get down to some serious show business, business that's subscribing Costello.
Speaker 2:Oh, geez, wake me up. Oh yes, subscribing, that would be really nice. It didn't cost anything. It just lets us know that you like to listen to us and will listen to us again, and you can also comment as well. You YouTubers, we'd love to get your comments, because then we can be rude back to you.
Speaker 1:Whether you say, like, turn your camera off, you guys are better when they don't have to see you. Or maybe that was funny.
Speaker 2:Whatever you got, give it to us, man, and, for goodness sake, give us a like if you do nothing else. Okay, so we know you're there. Now we're begging, all right.
Speaker 1:That doesn't scare you. No, that will All right. So we're going to get to all these things that happened. We have to do that. But you, Costello, yes, you've been trying to sell this shack you live in down in Columbia, south Carolina. You're getting ready to put it on the market. Yes, all this big rain you have, you've got these tall pine trees. The ground is saturated and that means what's going to happen. Yeah, timber, was that a pine tree that fell and hit your house right? A pine tree.
Speaker 2:It wasn't a pine tree, it was an elm, some kind of white elm Elm tree, big elm tree, big We'll have pictures popping up here so you can see what happened to his house.
Speaker 1:And it crashed into a bedroom that you used to sleep in. I did.
Speaker 2:When was the last time?
Speaker 1:you slept in that room.
Speaker 2:As a matter of fact, if I sent the right pictures, it looks like a wooden stake right where I would have been sleeping. You are kind?
Speaker 1:of pale, they're probably thinking vampire.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly with the pasty white look that I now possess. Yeah.
Speaker 1:I had an enormous tree. It's in color, yes, but it came through the spare bedroom, I guess, right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I would call it that. Yeah, it's kind of in the middle of the whole house, I mean the whole thing. It kind of bounced off one bit and then hit the roof of the house, slid down, took all the roofing with it and then just kind of laid up against the power cables. So by virtue of that we are talking today.
Speaker 1:That's a big sunroof right.
Speaker 2:Bloody big sunroof. I'll tell you what that's one big twig that hit the roof, though it's enormous. It's what? Oh, 15, 20 foot long and by four foot round. I'm guessing it's a big branch, I mean it's half a tree.
Speaker 1:Well, now you've got this big hole. They haven't even put a tarp up here. No roof. You can lie there and just watch the South Carolina bugs zip by and stuff, oh yeah. Look up to the clouds of the next storm. It's going to come and rain.
Speaker 2:It's on its way.
Speaker 1:No tarp on it, you know.
Speaker 2:That was Friday night, friday night, midnight, friday the 13th. Well, yeah, take out of it what you will.
Speaker 1:Well, here's the sad thing, okay, yeah. So this is where you start playing the sympathy music. Costello has no stinking home insurance on his home. Didn't have home insurance. Let that be a lesson and the reason, for that is what Is what we're like. Just the reason is that why did you have home insurance? Come on, why not? Where's your home insurance, man?
Speaker 2:My poor kids and homeless mother. They're living under a bridge somewhere, so I have to support them and the cats and the dog and you know I just can't make it. I have a military parade to finance as well.
Speaker 1:Excuse me no, it says you look at the pictures of costello's home. You don't. Normally, in a situation like this, we would say, okay, let's start a GoFundMe page and help Costello out to pay for the repair of the roof of his home. That'd be nice. But since he was a numbnut, and a numbnut not to have home insurance, we're going to set up a new page just for you.
Speaker 2:Costello, let's call it the.
Speaker 1:GoFuckMe page okay.
Speaker 2:That's what happened to you.
Speaker 1:Go bend over, boy you were flip, fried and fucked see now, what's happening is.
Speaker 2:I'm having people come around and look okay, uh, estimates, estimates and what have you, and they're going up and up and up and up and up. Okay, as a matter of fact, I'm just looking, oh your estimates are comparable to getting higher.
Speaker 1:Yes, they are. Yes, they are. They talk amongst each other. They're going. There's a dumb Englishman out there. He doesn't know.
Speaker 2:Well, now they want me to get. What's your neighbor's name?
Speaker 1:Pookie.
Speaker 2:Oh.
Speaker 1:Pookie they like Pookie they go.
Speaker 2:So you go higher, you go higher, you go higher. Oh, you can fix it for a hundred bucks and a bottle of beer.
Speaker 1:Of course you would. I'd hate to see what it would look like. So if you want to send a comment, you know, to Costello under the our new you know, chris and Costello Costello's, go fuck me page, okay, all right, there you go, just leave him a comment and go. You dumb idiot. You didn't have home insurance. Well, I did. What are you going to pay for it? What are you going to?
Speaker 2:do Now. By the time it had all the co-pays, it would probably make well, it would have made some difference, I guess.
Speaker 1:Have you had an estimate yet? Give us an idea. It is ranged. What's the first cost? You got $6,000 to $8,000.
Speaker 2:Pardon me, $6,000 to $8,000. $7,000 to $8,000. That's it. Yeah, to fix a hole in your roof like that. That's the roof. Now we've got to do the ceilings. The next thing.
Speaker 1:That's what I'm saying. That's the whole deal cost okay.
Speaker 2:Well, I was quoted $7,000.
Speaker 1:Wait $7,000 for the roof and the inside, and all that $7,000? Mm-hmm Well, thousand dollars. Well, go, fuck me page I'm. That's ridiculous. I got some stuff down here that's just walking in the door you're getting the whole repair for that amount of money.
Speaker 2:Well, apparently not now. Because I said to him I said what about the inside? Oh well, um, well, um, I said you misspoke, didn't you? Because I said I don't. Here's a funny thing that has happened. Right, I had this one guy come around this morning and I said, oh, oh man, I'm sorry, I've already contracted. And he was obviously pissed off. And then a little later on, another guy turns up from the same company with absolutely no knowledge of this guy who'd been here before. So they'll carry the note, and they'll carry the note at about 7%, which is better than 33%. Okay, on a credit card you can't do that, stupid, stupid. But we're at the point now where it's like, oh, fresh meat, here we go.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you definitely need to benefit from the go fuck me page, because you're going to be in trouble here, man.
Speaker 2:Oh. Best of luck I'll get out of it.
Speaker 1:Best of luck on that. Thank you, I'll get on it. People are looking at the pictures right now of what your house looks like. It's pretty sad, and that being $6,000 to $8,000, that's just beginning, you don't have the big quote, yet you don't have the big final. Oh, well, the final answer hasn't come your way yet.
Speaker 2:Final cost. Well, the thing will be the inside as well, although it's probably one roof drywall shouldn't be that bad. Sorry, life is a jolly thing, isn't it? I'm just loving it here so much.
Speaker 1:So I guess the tree fell after the military parade, also known as the 79, it was before.
Speaker 2:It was first minute of Saturday. It was Friday night midnight.
Speaker 1:So it was after the parade.
Speaker 2:Was that on Friday? Then it was after the parade. No, it was.
Speaker 1:Saturday, so you got to sit there and get to watch the parade then huh, did you do that?
Speaker 2:No, I was too busy cleaning up.
Speaker 1:Would you like to guess which network carried the big military parade? I mean, I'm all for military.
Speaker 2:I don't think any of them really carried it Wrong, sir, come on, use your head CBS.
Speaker 1:Fox. Well, fox Fox, the Trump Network. They're carrying it live, man, they were gushing that it was the greatest damn thing in the world. You know and I'm looking at them going because I really have great respect for the military it's because they volunteer, man. They volunteer to do this stuff, so they're pretty awesome. 250 years of the Army, great history. It's just a super part of our country, proud of him, as can be. It just kind of like diminished the whole thing because there he sits in the box. You know, he actually fell asleep a couple of times. He's going wake up.
Speaker 2:It's your you won this battle right. I saw him sitting there on the edge of his seat, you know, fiddling, fiddling with his thumbs, like I'm really, mommy, I'm bored, mommy, I'm bored.
Speaker 1:That's where the new nickname came up, called Don Snorleone. They called him falling asleep, so instead of now we got Taco, which is where Trump's always chicken duck on the terrace. Now it's Don Snorleone because he's fallen asleep at a couple of events so far and he's been caught on camera doing so, which he used to make fun of Biden doing that. But there he is, heads down at the military parade. But it was it reminded me watching a parade of from North Korea, you know, or China, you know.
Speaker 2:Well, he loves those countries. Or walking by, I noticed one soldier facing the other way.
Speaker 1:I didn't see that.
Speaker 2:Nobody made any mention of it, but I was like he's not looking in the right direction his mind probably thought he was.
Speaker 1:So the crowds were like yeah, I mean because they had weather kind of like when you had to knock your tree down, it was like cancer ring, this, whatever some people. After the parade was done they didn't stick around because it's kind of like a celebration of his. But people were singing after the parade started, singing happy birthday to them.
Speaker 2:Sick demented people.
Speaker 1:Well, you know.
Speaker 2:It was also our producer's birthday that day too.
Speaker 1:The big thing on the same day is the no Kings Day, and that was like in tons of cities, large and small, throughout the country. They did a total. How many people attended those? All together? About five million, which kind of like outdid the parade.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no shit that was some funny stuff.
Speaker 1:they had some absolutely funny signs in there that were just stinking hilarious in the parade. So if you bear with me, bear with me, this could be an edit moment. I forgot to pull them up and have them ready. I'm sorry my mistake. I wanted to read some of the signs that were there. Okay, they're just absolutely hilarious. One sign said no dick hyphen taters. Okay, no dick taters. That was pretty good. We all know the movie Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. They had a song up Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. I like that one. That's good. Here's good. We all know Taylor Swift got all of her masters back finally, so she now owns all of her music. Yeah, the sign says if Taylor got her masters back, then we can take our country back. That's pretty good. I like that one. This is in reference to his new nickname, taco. I'd like that taco to go. Please Get him up. Okay, if there's money for a parade, then there's money for Medicaid.
Speaker 2:That rhymes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, pretty good job. Yeah, A birthday celebration fit for sad little baby. And that little picture, that little Trump balloon that you guys put in the UK and then it says next to it it goes I want attention, I want attention. That's some great signs. Anyway, that's just a sample of a few. Let's just get into the good ones. Hey, hey, maga, go fact yourself, okay. Mm-hmm. Okay, maga, go fact yourself, okay. Okay, let's see. This one is our expectations for you were low, but, holy fuck, they're going to be this low. I like that one. If Melania doesn't have to live with him, why do we?
Speaker 2:Good point. You like that. One Good, one Good one.
Speaker 1:Okay, all right, I got to think of one more. One more here. This one's great. He's our 47th president, right? 45, 47. Clean up on aisle 47. Get him out. This one was good. It's like an image of the Lion King. It's a profile of him with the sun behind it and it goes the Lion King Very good.
Speaker 2:By the way, I apologize for the banging. If you can hear it, they're hammering on the roof. I don't know if it's picking it up or not.
Speaker 1:It's going to cage the rest of it in. Here's one I like. By the way, you sucked in Home Alone 2. Anyway.
Speaker 2:Oh my.
Speaker 1:Signs from the parade Doesn't match the excitement of tree in the roof hole in the roof, fire in the hole. Hole in the roof. Fire in the hole hole in the roof. Are they tacking up the tarp? Is that what?
Speaker 2:they're doing. Yeah, that's what I said. Yeah, I'm making sure it doesn't leak now.
Speaker 1:Well, let's make our producers happy. Can you ask for a green tarp?
Speaker 2:Oh, it's a blue tarp. It would work. Actually it wouldn't. It's reflective.
Speaker 1:I've got a green screen.
Speaker 2:Our lovely producer, Chesnay Chesnay, who had a birthday the same day as Trump. She said that's the only thing I share with him, Nothing else. On the astrological plane I checked. Anyway, she wants us to put Trump. Born on the same day, I never remember.
Speaker 1:For a while.
Speaker 2:Anyway, it was her birthday, anyway, she wants us to put green screens behind us. I and Trump weren't in the same day. I've never remembered for a while. Anyway, it was her birthday. Anyway, she wants us to put green screens behind us so that we look like we're in the same room. So we will.
Speaker 1:We're all over the gamut here. So we have Chesney producer who turned 31.
Speaker 2:I think that's Never tell a woman's age Tusk tusk, that's young.
Speaker 1:She's just a baby. Okay, Not true. We have Jerry, our other producer. You know who? An editor, who is how? 84, 84. Okay.
Speaker 2:Okay and going strong.
Speaker 1:You can just figure it out and just guess okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you can guess which 39.
Speaker 1:I'm 49 holding, 49 holding. Yeah, time for a like. Time for a comment and a like.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there you go, Bring it away you're 49. Come on, come on. Well, you know there's nothing on the application for the canceled radio guys that put age anyway. Did you fill it in?
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:We got it from HR. He didn't even fill his in Jeez.
Speaker 1:Yep Corporate will be mad at you. Two things I checked on the navigation. One, subscribe and like.
Speaker 2:And like, and like and subscribe.
Speaker 1:Hey, did you have a no Kings Parade there in Columbia? Did they do anything there?
Speaker 2:I didn't notice because I have not left the house.
Speaker 1:You, didn't leave the hubble.
Speaker 2:I know.
Speaker 1:One of the best comments is from my hometown, atlanta. Okay. The only king we celebrate is Martin Luther King. Oh very good, excuse me, double like. Oh my good, excuse me Double like, oh, my Proud of the hometown.
Speaker 2:Yeah well, that's true. So.
Speaker 1:Paul quick question. Yes, okay, so Israel attacks Iran? Good for them, we're not a part of it. We're helping Israel having some defense weapons to thwart some of the missiles coming in from Iran to them. Some of them. Yeah, I think Israel is kicking some good butt.
Speaker 2:I'd say so.
Speaker 1:I don't know when. All these things to find peace and stop the attack is now calling a set of truces, negotiations. They're all called deals. Now, since Trump has been always like the art of the deal, we're close to making a deal. Graham was smart to get in their bucket. Don't make a deal, let's do a deal, you know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, I think it all depends on, so far as far as we know, in America and it could be different In Europe, they probably have totally different news commentary on it, but so far China hasn't got involved as far as we know.
Speaker 1:We haven't really so much either. Well exactly. And if it does, should we get involved or not? I say no.
Speaker 2:Just like it was in the Second World War. No, that's a joke fight.
Speaker 1:And what did Taco promise us when he got elected?
Speaker 2:I'll end these wars in 24 hours.
Speaker 1:Okay, well, the other two that are going on have gotten even worse, and now we have a new one.
Speaker 2:Okay, Nothing like it, that's right.
Speaker 1:It's like doing the like thing.
Speaker 2:Oh, it's that old song about oh, what a lovely war. Yeah, remember that.
Speaker 1:Oh, what a lovely war.
Speaker 2:It was a movie back in the 60s, the clash.
Speaker 1:No, yeah, that's the only thing you listen to funny thing.
Speaker 2:You listen to some of their lyrics and it's like, oh, you guys knew what was going to happen exactly you know.
Speaker 1:It's like, oh, that's terrible when we first came around, there were more anti-war songs than there are today.
Speaker 2:Yep, oh right, wait a minute. There was one I heard oh, bruce Springsteen, and what's her name. Oh, what's her name?
Speaker 1:Sure, she's in the video. Here's Bruce Springsteen and what's her name? And?
Speaker 2:Mrs Swiftie.
Speaker 1:And Miss Swift.
Speaker 2:They've made an anti-war song, swift, and that was the song they did. Yeah, it was good.
Speaker 1:If I thought about it.
Speaker 2:I would put it on the show today, but we'll have to do it next week. I'm sure there'll be more.
Speaker 1:We can't play snippets of music on the show anymore because we're doing what Copyright infringement Is that it? Oh yeah. We're going to play a snippet. We always do like what we're listening to this week and we pick a favorite song. I've always picked some new music. Costello keeps going back to a Clash album from 1982 or something. But even though I'm not a super fan of.
Speaker 1:Mariah Carey. She's just like a diva overweight girl wearing tight dresses these days and coming out of Christmas time, but she hasn't done a new album in probably seven or eight years and she has a new one out. It's called. The new first single is called Type Dangerous. I'll give her credit. It's pretty good, but we can't listen to it or play it because we'd be I think we can play a bit of it if we talk over it, how many seconds can we play?
Speaker 2:I believe it's about like 10.
Speaker 1:Let's do 10 seconds. Okay, you hit it, we'll count. Here's Mariah Carey Type dangerous. I got 10 seconds Ready, Go, ready, ready.
