The Original canceled radio guys. Chris and Costello: SEASON 6
Turning Treadmills to Tributes: Starry Nights, Pet Plights, and Vegas Frights
My daughter's gift of a treadmill is more than just a machine; it's the start of a new chapter in my life, and what better way to step into this journey than sharing it with all of you? This episode is a whirlwind of emotions and stories, from the humorous antics of Jason Kelce to the poignant tale of my three-legged cat, Jacks. As the football season draws to a close, we're not just talking about the big game or speculating on celebrity romances like a football player wooing Miley Cyrus. We're exploring the quieter, darker nights of Denver, where living under a canopy of stars comes with its own set of HOA challenges.
Ever wondered about the wild side of your furry friends or the delicate dance of neighborhood relations? You're not alone. We navigate the tricky terrain of protecting our pets in rural areas, sharing laughs and lessons learned from the sometimes comedic, sometimes contentious pet dramas that unfold next door. And speaking of unfolding stories, we pay homage to a friend whose life took her from the go-go dancing stages of Las Vegas to mastering the lens in San Francisco, illuminating the notion that life’s path is as unpredictable as it is fascinating.
Strapping in for the ride, I recount a treacherous winter drive to Vegas, snow be damned, and the life-saving alerts of lane-assist technology. This trip isn't just a highway adventure; it's a reminder of how quickly journeys can take a sharp turn—whether it's nearly colliding with a semi or paying tribute to a "Deliverance" actor taken far too soon. So tune in for an episode filled with humor, respect, and a touch of the unexpected, all wrapped up with Bailey's final word.

Speaker 3:Well, you know I had watched it and I thought, you know I'm gonna watch these early games.
Speaker 2:so I can say I watched it when first, because I was comming maybe you get lucky, one of those football players in that league will start dating Miley Cyrus and they'll do some cutaways to Miley up in the booth. That'll make you so happy.

Speaker 2:We can talk old later honey.
Speaker 3:Which reminds me I was supposed to be building my Stairmaster thing that my daughter sent me and two pairs of shoes. I was very happy about that Walking shoes. I think I got the message she sent you a Stairmaster, treadmill, treadmill.
Speaker 2:Yes, not a Stairmaster, and you have to put that together. You're going to do that.
Speaker 3:I'm going to do that this afternoon after we're done here. Yeah.
Speaker 2:You're going to kill yourself, man.
Speaker 3:You're going to get exercise.
Speaker 2:You're getting on that thing going to be in reverse or something.
Speaker 3:Oh, wee, stop, go bring it to the wall. The fine may splattered it on the wall and the dog walking on the treadmill.
Speaker 2:Shoot you right to your neighbor's house. You'll be right there by the bonfire. How'd you get here so fast, treadmill? I'm sorry.
Speaker 1:Exercise is good.
Speaker 3:I'll put it in my home's language Right?
Speaker 2:Hey, you know what I have to ask you real quick because you always like to cover this anyway. So how is it in South Carolina today? Nice day, is it warm?
Speaker 3:It's a little overcast 77 degrees, it's actually gorgeous.
Speaker 2:Well, thank you, mr Meteorologist. We appreciate that. Okay, you know what?
Speaker 3:Hey, thank you. Well, that's it.
Speaker 2:We get snow all morning. It's really pretty, yeah, but when it snows like this is when I get in trouble in the neighborhood. So I live in a dark sky neighborhood. You know what that is? Yes, yes. Well, you're not allowed to. I mean, I wasn't crazy about it when we moved in here, but I just liked the neighborhood so I said maybe we can deal with it. It's like at nighttime again. How many lights on this stuff? No landscaping lights, nothing like that.
Speaker 3:It's going to be dark Christmas lights.
Speaker 2:Well, you can do those, you know, but you have to turn them off by 10 pm. After the second of January. You got to take them right down, Okay, Right? So if you don't, of course you got the HOA finds and all that stuff. Jesus, I mean I. I mean it was hard for me to get used to it at the beginning because I'm going to look right around at night time. It's like man, it's pitch black, there's nothing Cause. The thing is, you can't mess with the nocturnal goings on of all the animals here, Right? My thinking is, if we kept some lights on the 10 pm, I think from 10 pm to sunrise the animals have plenty of time to do their nocturnal stuff. What do you think?
Speaker 3:I think so, and I don't think, what do you think? I don't think that there's circadian rhythms. Take any notice of electric light anyway. So there, I mean, we do have animals I mean.
Speaker 2:So this year so far, what's the visit in my backyard Bear, oh, Lynx, which was the coolest thing having a Lynx. They're really great.
Speaker 3:I saw that when I was visiting.
Speaker 2:And I think it's beautiful. Bobcat, deer Fox Mountain lion, just look at him, just go please, because they're just me. They're there to eat you. I don't care, you know, they look at you and they're pretty. Go, man, you're beautiful. They got my swipe, they got you. So we see all those and then those are great, right Along with the other stuff the rabbits, the raccoons, all that.
Speaker 2:We get tons of animals and you're not supposed to feed them and stuff. And here's the issue Fox here are not rabid. If they bite you, it's just you get a bite. Yeah, you're not going to get sick and they're really friendly, you know. Especially we have some once on. They have a den close to me and they have the little baby.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they can be back and they come up and they jump over me and they'll bite and go. I feed them. I feed them hot dogs. You know how do you like yours, you like your crispy, you want to just give it to me.
Speaker 2:You know the neighbors get pissed at it, because when I first moved here I had lights on and stuff and they're turning to call the HOA going. I can see them. I can see them going, I'm just happy. I can't see your ugly face. I mean I got, fine a hundred bucks, 200 bucks. Oh God, did you pay it? I can't pull them all up. Well the hell, no, I can pull them up and just turn them all off. I said I just can't, and arguing more because they look really good going up my driveway with the rocks and stuff. And they just said but people across the way didn't think so I can see them. I said, well, don't look, leave me alone. I've got a complaint to go on, you know. And so you feed me animals and it's going, oh god yeah, video it's like I can see you in your house.
Speaker 3:Why are you looking in my house?
Speaker 2:well, I'm sitting on the back, but I did leave a door open and I had them follow me into the house want to see if they would do it, and they were a little skeptical, you know, but they damn, they wanted those hot dogs and they came. You know, really it's just just the coolest thing, and that's one of the reasons I live here is because of the animals. You know, I wouldn't do that with the mountain line. Leave a hot dog trail if not, unless I want to live anymore.
Speaker 3:That would be a bad idea. Any of those bigger?
Speaker 2:animals.
Speaker 3:It's actually with a bear well with it with a fox, which is basically a dog. Anyway, they're very easy to uh domesticate. I mean, they're halfway there already.
Speaker 2:Anyway, they're quite friendly yeah but if you had a smaller dog, they'd eat that dog fox, wouldn't you know?
Speaker 3:yeah, they would yeah, they do well, yeah, I mean I'm a little kill yeah, I see them walking, you know, through the trail.
Speaker 2:Sometimes with them they get a rabbit in your mouth and says someone will go does anyone see my little foo foo dog missy? You know she's nothing. You see the collar in the fox den. The missy's gone, they're going.
Speaker 3:There was dinner, missy was dinner one night, right well yeah, little doggies, but not uh, yeah, they get their little dog.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, that's, you know, I get it in fact, what do you do with a foo foo dog? Anyway, we're in the rocky mountains, you know. You need a damn foo foo dog. Get a real dog.
Speaker 3:When I live when I lived in Vegas, there was a guy just down the road who had this, uh, jack Russell, which are great dogs, and I was a good dog. Yeah and um, I had a three-legged cat. Jacks was his name, he was, he was a ginger cat, he was wonderful, absolutely wonderful, and people would come around from the neighborhood just to check out jacks because you know he's missing one of his front legs. But he was hilarious. You know. He'd come up and, you know, act the best he could until one day the jack Russell got hold of him, just tore his throat out and killed him. And my neighbor, jack Russell, did that. Yeah, yeah, and my neighbor is, you know he. He called me up. I was at work and he was crying. He said jacks is dead, I'm going. What jacks is dead? I go. What happened, man? He saw the jack Russell got him. Oh well, what can you do? Ah, anyway, so there you go. So, yeah, little doggies, I was a really uplifting story.
Speaker 2:Thanks so much. I'm depressed. Yeah, let me go pop a prozac so I can feel better, okay sorry sorry more. The story is uh, jacks is dead, so what did you get for getting a damn cat? Those are the ones that most of the animals here eat. They eat the cats, you know so well, that's good, I mean you get rid of the population. I hear that people go my cat's missing. I'm going.
Speaker 3:Well, good, one less well, well, I got um, I got him from the pound and um, he, just you know, hadn't long had his surgery.
Speaker 2:So I was, I like it. You did that, you got it. You took care of a three-legged animal. That that's a good thing.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he was great, he was wonderful. He was a wonder cat. Liked him anyway.
Speaker 2:Moving on, catch so you're ever have a. You're a sticker in my car it says the only good cat is a dead cat well, well, you're right, I'm hanging up, I'm a dog.
Speaker 3:People here, we love the dog listen, I you know how much mess my little dog makes. I mean, I tell you it's insane that that dog I mean they are just you know, people say cats are dirty. Oh yeah, listen, if that dog doesn't get out in time and uh, when he urinates is like like Michigan, it's like good, thank god I don't have carpets. He's house trained, but he just, you know, he doesn't get out in time. It's like whoa.
Speaker 2:I told my happy that we have like a big golf course here. So when in the winter time when it snows, it's closed so I take my dogs out there, let them run and it's and and they just use as a giant toilet. I love that. So neighbors are going you got to pick that up. Uh, no, no, it'll rain, it's a golf course, just a winter, it'll fertilize. Okay, just let it go okay, exactly, exactly find them walking out here.
Speaker 2:Buddy, mind your own business then. Okay, leave me alone. It's called the HOA, everybody else has.
Speaker 3:You too, go ahead maybe it's time you moved you. You're going out.
Speaker 2:You're welcome in Colorado oh man, where are you? This is for an animal country. We got three dogs. They love it. They love throwing up the mountain in the back. Yeah, love to run the empty golf course. They love to jump in the golf course lake. Not this time of year, right. They just, they just, they just have them for these guys.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I know, but I mean, if the people there are getting on your ass so much and you know the HOA, you know they, they can, they can, no matter where I move, making friends wherever I go, I was gonna say and no matter what, does that tell you?
Speaker 2:Chris move out of the country.
Speaker 3:I don't know be a hermit. I'm working on that like a butt rash that just won't go away.
Speaker 2:Here's Chris and Costello. We're just a traveling show man. We get our family, we got our dogs and we just, we just come in and we do what we like to do. Yeah, not bothering anybody else. I have neighbors, dogs, coming through our yard. I have one trying to hump the heck out of my dog and I found that he lives about a mile away. Good thing they had the phone number on the on the car. You know I wasn't ticked off, you know. So it's just, it's worth this, that type of place where we live. I mean they just pass through and stuff. So my dogs haven't gone to the neighbor's yard again. I'm just going God shut up well, it's about all.
Speaker 3:You can. Just tell this people to shut up.
Speaker 2:Eventually they'll get this yeah, they find some shit in the yard and they assume it's my dog, right? They put in the paper bag, right in the ass. You know, know it and put it on my car.
Speaker 3:Okay, that happened to my sister when she first moved into a house in Yorkshire some years ago and this batty lady across the road was, she had two cats and she swore up and down. The cats were shitting on a lawn. So when she did, she got. She got the cat shit, put it in a bag and put it in a mailbox I mean in a through, and we don't have mailboxes in England, we have letterboxes to go straight in the house, right?
Speaker 2:well they, they. They wrote on the bag keep your dog shit in your own yard. To open the back and went that's not my dog shit, I recognize it. So I just took the bag and threw it up and used their window on their porch and so they'd never done it again since then. Not my dog man, you should tell them.
Speaker 3:Hey, I know, I know people in wrestling, they'll come mess you up.
Speaker 2:I know we got to call dope for that. Oh lord, I know a lot of wrestlers, won't you come right now, don't why. I talked to him in a while, you know. So I'm just putting name dropping that, all right good old dope.
Speaker 3:Has anybody out there bought his book yet hands up all of you?
Speaker 2:uh, hey, how about no, how about no, but a good thing, real quick, about my dog. So I like about here, because we live our backyard straight up as a mountain. So they go up on that hill, right yeah, and they take their big doggy dump and you always say shit rolls downhill. Well, it does in my yard. You watch, you crap, and you just watch it start tumbling down the hill here. It comes over south before hits the house okay, I don't want to pick it up off the house and he stops about you know 15 feet before it gets to the house. He just rolls and tumbles, rolls and tumbles.
Speaker 3:Funny, damn thing and that backyard it goes is pretty steep, isn't it?
Speaker 2:it is. So we have guests over, they see it for the first time. They've watched that. Oh, the shit's rolling down. It literally does at this house. Yeah, no, that's wonderful yeah, you haven't.
Speaker 3:You haven't turned on your heated driveway recently.
Speaker 2:No, I have a some. Some guys come shovel the driveway every time it snows. Right after the stop snowing, they're here within 10 minutes. Wow, two of these boom is dumb about 15 minutes. I'm clear, that's cool. Where's your good turn on me. Just a stupidly expensive. I can't do it yeah.
Speaker 3:That is insane.
Speaker 2:I should do it for me for a month as a gift. That'd be great. Yeah, sure, be right on send you the bill. Here's two grand. What?
Speaker 3:Yeah, probably be your electric bill anyway, geez, because when you got, when you got really.
Speaker 3:You're lucky. You know when it got, when it got really cold here in the last couple of weeks, do? Was it Duke energy? Oh, so who are the hell we got here? The energy company said oh yeah, rachel, be Redneck electric, that's it. Red neck electric said keep, you, turn your thermostat down to 68. All right, freeze you nuts off. And you freeze you nuts off, but whatever you use gonna cost you double, a triple. Thank you, and have a nice time.
Speaker 2:Ah, geez, yeah this house Stays warm. Man, I don't know what. We keep the thermostat. You ready for this on 63.
Speaker 3:Wow, really.
Speaker 2:I'm we're sitting around it and we're sitting around t-shirts and shorts.
Speaker 3:Wow, that's, you're warm.
Speaker 2:This house stays good and warm, and it's great this.
Speaker 3:This little abode isn't too bad either, with new windows and I had them insulate the roof before I moved in, so or the attic, I mean some.
Speaker 2:You can put some new good kindling wood in your home right.
Speaker 3:Yeah, my house is made of kindling wood. What are you talking about?
Speaker 2:me your, your home would be gone like 15 seconds. Yeah, but fire, your neighbors are going. Oh, I think it went right up like nothing.
Speaker 3:Matter of fact, talking of wood, there's some very large branches been falling on my backyard which the neighbors been using, to you know, to burn, to fuel their fire. Burn them, yeah, oh yeah, oh, they do they. That's great, they come. They just, you know, come come by at night and like think they're sneaking in and Go ahead please carry on. This is great, this is putting your house in the market.
Speaker 3:Oh, I'll wait until something happens with the attorney before that, unless, unless there's, by some miracle, the the rates go up All of a sudden. I mean that will rather the prices go up. It is happening here because a lot of people are moving here. It's gonna be the same thing, right, I move.
Speaker 2:Interest rates go down, homes will start to sell more. Oh yeah, right now it's just like okay, I want that home, it's affordable. But then with the interest rate guy, the mortgage payments like boom.
Speaker 3:I don't, I don't want to bring it out, I'm waiting now I want, well, pay cash. I'm not doing mortgages anymore, I can't, yeah. But you see, the thing of it is you got to keep moving up and you know. So you spend a little more each time you move, always I do. Anyway.
Speaker 2:Housing practices aren't gonna go down, they're not gonna level and always be going up to some, some degree.
Speaker 3:I indeed yes, but we need them to do like they did in Texas, like oh, it's worth twice as much within two years.
Speaker 2:That was great, because I mean you want to know this. They listed this week the three places where the most affordable houses are in this country Really, really cheap and then when I read the the locations, I went well, hell, no wonder who the hell wants to live there. Are you ready?
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, I bet Lincoln Nebraska.
Speaker 2:Yeah, youngstown Ohio.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Akron, ohio, yeah. Cleveland, ohio yeah. No wonder, begging for people to come live there. I mean, what a shithole it is, it is.
Speaker 3:I mean, not only is the weather shitty, but it's oh An old ex industrial. Oh no, thank you. I lived in Columbus, Ohio.
Speaker 2:What did you? Did you? Well, that's yeah. What do you do? What do you do in Akron, ohio? Go down hang out at the tire plant.
Speaker 3:It's closed down, but I'll go hang out there.
Speaker 2:Sniff that old smell of burning rubber well, I sure miss that.
Speaker 3:But my city was.
Speaker 1:I was no train station.
Speaker 2:There was no downtown.
Speaker 1:So tired to disappear.
Speaker 2:All my favorite places.
Speaker 1:My city have been pulled down Down, reduced to walking spaces All the way to go Ohio.
Speaker 2:I Went back to Ohio.
Speaker 1:But my family was gone. I stood on the back porch.
Speaker 2:There was nobody home.
Speaker 1:I was stunned. In a maze, my childhood memories, sort of swilled past, the wornt to theair Were to go.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, I mean the bed says yeah. And if you want to move, worth cheaper even than where you are, there's your three choices.
Speaker 3:Well, there's that, and then there's have a nice winter. Yeah, michigan, kansas and oh, that was quite a few places that are cheaper than me.
Speaker 2:Well, they say those places in Ohio are the cheapest. The cheapest they probably have really good. If you're looking for a low, low, good bang for your buck, you can go a little bit of huge home, Look up every day and look at where you're at and go on and I'm depressed. Why am I depressed? I got this big house but I've got to live in the shithole.
Speaker 3:I don't know anything about that.
Speaker 2:What do you do for fun in Youngstown Ohio?
Speaker 3:What about Detroit? It's not. They were supposed to make a comeback. It clearly hasn't.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're working on it, but it's not as cheap to live there as it is those places in Ohio, though, Well yeah, I mean, who the hell want to go to Akron Ohio?
Speaker 3:I mean?
Speaker 2:You would get a cheap house.
Speaker 3:I think Rachel Sweet was the only person I knew who came from Akron, Ohio and the other Cleveland I don't know where to pretend as well Chrissy Hine came from. Where was she from? Oh, she was from Akron as well, wasn't she?
Speaker 2:I think so, and also the. I guess who could go to answer that would be questionable. I guess I still don't think Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time, but James is from Akron Ohio.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Do you notice where he lives now? He lives in Los Angeles, beverly.
Speaker 3:Hills, he's no fool. Yeah, oh God, yeah I guess, right?
Speaker 2:Oh, shall we get a second home in Akron? What do you think, honey? Yeah, you do. I'm leaving you, lebron, I don't care where. That's funny, you got.
Speaker 3:Yeah, really I don't care.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean people will say well, I'm still being from there and actually being from there and staying there. People who are from there don't stay, that's right, I was thinking about that.
Speaker 3:I had a friend in Vegas. She's a very good photographer and a dancer, and I'm not in that order, but anyway, what kind of dancer? Oh, she did everything. You know, she was a go-go dancer.
Speaker 2:That's what I was getting at, that's what she did, no, no.
Speaker 3:Listen, this woman, right, she had and you knew her, huh, she had a body, she had a six pack. I mean, her stomach was like, I mean it was amazing.
Speaker 2:And how did it work out that you happened to see her six pack?
Speaker 3:Well, you know, but anyway, when Did you have relations? Oh, so many that you know I lost count, but she came from here Did you with the go-go dancer, did you, and she came from here. Now I understand why she left.
Speaker 2:What's the answer to the damn question? A gentleman doesn't tell Well you're not a gentleman, a gentleman To start the accident.
Speaker 3:Actually, you know she liked younger men and she used to work for my company, so it was kind of you can't really fit what you can, but Of course you can, but what was the age difference between you and her? Wasn't that much about 10 years.
Speaker 2:Maybe, and so once again, did you have relations, huh.
Speaker 3:I guess it's only going to satisfy if I say yes regularly.
Speaker 2:But just let me know one way or the other.
Speaker 1:No, no, no. The way you're heading tells me right there answers that question that yes, you did.
Speaker 2:Are you going to say no right off?
Speaker 3:the start. No, no, no, I never did. And I would love to have done. But there you go, it just didn't happen. Yeah it's going to go. What the hell?
Speaker 2:no, what's wrong with that?
Speaker 3:Well, yeah, well, there's a good point, exactly you know, I mean, she used to work for me and it just it, just you know, between kids running all the businesses and everything else, it just never happened, okay.
Speaker 2:So then, when I said you work for you, she was gorgeous, she was a go-go dancer, you got a six-pack. Go ahead. Oh yeah, congratulations to them.
Speaker 3:Well, that's what I was telling you. She was from here, from Columbia, and she lived here and is now living. Oh, she lives in San Francisco. Now that's right.
Speaker 2:She probably left there when she was eight years old. In real life, God, mom and dad, we live in a shithole. I'm leaving.
Speaker 3:Probably, probably, but it's like, oh, I get it. Actually I was driving around the neighborhood and just you know, you cross the main street. There's a really nice little neighborhood over there, but it's still anyway, that's all right.
Speaker 2:Oh, she's still. She's in San Francisco now. She's still a go-go dancer.
Speaker 3:No, I think she's a full-time photographer now. She was a great photographer. I'd send her out on the job, didn't have to worry, never had to worry. She'd come back with great stuff. She was good. Well, she's still as good, I should imagine.
Speaker 2:You let her go and you'd never had relations. That's right. She screwed that one up.
Speaker 3:Well, I mean.
Speaker 2:You let your wicked night go.
Speaker 3:Yeah, really Moving on.
Speaker 2:What was your name, ginger? That's what? Yes, yes.
Speaker 3:Ginger Z, that's who. It was Fluffy. No, she was an actual, you know like have a stage name. No, she was a real dancer. She wasn't a pole dancer. And there was certain clubs like Studio 54 at the MGM remember that they would have dances. They'd put them on podiums. That's what she did. She wasn't a whore or, you know, stripper or anything. She was just a dancer. Lovely.
Speaker 2:Okay, moving on. Well, the fun thing is when you live and hang out in Vegas a lot, they're like we do, or did it's like you? You, as you just mill around, just you know, going out, hang out with Aaron's, buying groceries or whatever. You see some of these women Sometimes you can tell, oh, yeah, you can. You can tell that they're in the late night. You know, folly show. If they do that kind of planning work, they just they just stand out. Yeah, they put a lot of money in themselves and it's really, really gorgeous. Yeah, don't see that. And they know everybody's staring at them and then say they're more fun seeing them and then seeing the stupid Elvis, of course.
Speaker 3:Don't see that around here. You know, it's one of the things I noticed, even when I was in Texas is like why? Why are all the women around here so damn butch? And I thought, oh, they're all ex army. That's why I was in Texas. Here it's just good Lord, I guess the nice ones leave.
Speaker 2:Well, they do. I mean Southern women are historically known for being really, really beautiful.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean, they say some don't. I think she did in Georgia, especially in Florida. Mm-hmm, Is there something about your line? I guess you know. So like, like.
Speaker 1:Nikki Haley. Oh dear.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Well, you know, when I went down to Charleston I think I told this story I have my sister was with me. I said is there something you noticed? I said look around you Anything you particularly notice. I said I'll give you a clue. There are no men here, it's all women. And it was down in the old, you know the old court of the tourist trap, but all the tourists were like 90 percent women. Really you know how interesting. And there was a couple of very gorgeous ones. I thought I'm staying here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's really cool. The women, they had a really deep, trippy Southern accent. You know there's just like a reality show called Southern Charm in the space on the lives of these women and they live in Charleston, south Carolina, so they filmed the show there. But what I did radio there for a couple of years it was like you there. Yeah, I'm here. Oh, I'm sorry I'll have to put you asleep, but it's like I noticed that too. We do events and things like that.
Speaker 2:And it's just like the ones that would show up and just be in mass. It'd be tons of them, you know.
Speaker 1:And to the Apollo. You should have seen them go, go, go. They said hey, sugar, take a walk on the wild side.
Speaker 3:I said, hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side.
Speaker 1:All right.
Speaker 2:Well, there was, there was, and it's always been there, and they just had that really big Southern type, for all of which is just you know, I always thought kind of sexy.
Speaker 3:Yeah, oh, I agree. I agree Absolutely. That's why I moved here.
Speaker 2:I was a single guy, then it was great yeah. Well, you know a good time is said by me.
Speaker 3:Oh goodness, it is interesting, though, geographically, that you know the look of. You know how much effort we've been rather misogynistic, but there you go, such as life. You know the more effort women put into their appearance. I guess I mean, if you just go out the army, you probably don't give a shit. I always figured this, you know, with like, say, like a little island, like Fiji, everything around there is beautiful. Therefore, the women obviously try, try very hard, Pretty beautiful anyway.
Speaker 2:So you know, having nice cameras in right off the get go helps a lot. The complexion is good, you know.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But I don't figure. I was in Charleston out, so I was on a date with the Charleston, you know potty, and we went to places. It's not there anymore, it's really cool. It used to be a four story place restaurant. It's called the East Bay Trading Company. It was right there on the Broad Street and and the idiot had to, the waiter had to had to bring this up to me, right, you know what I mean. Just screw me up. He goes. You know we have a thing here If you can eat a hundred oysters, your dinner's for free. You know I love oysters.
Speaker 2:Until I'm going, and I'm here on this hot M's going. I look at her and I just go bring him on. I said there's slurping a hundred oysters. I'm going. I'm feeling really randy now, you know, just backing away. I had a great date. This is an eight to a hundred oysters. He goes okay, pick your dinner. I'm going. I like that, like the hell. I'm hungry now. Okay, so I picked it. I give it to you, her, whatever. So it was like, yeah, she didn't, she didn't like that, she'd date. I know what had done. I went come on, man, you brag about your day, my date today. A hundred oysters. Anyone to jump all over me, or you're damn right at it.
Speaker 3:Protectile vomiting seafood Lovely.
Speaker 2:Oh, no, man, I'm glad some of that stuff so, but didn't work out for me, that's okay.
Speaker 3:I'm sorry, I'm sorry One and done so. So now that you're spending a lot of time going between Vegas and Colorado, Right?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:That must be pretty hairy in the last week anyway.
Speaker 2:It was a yeah, Driving down was. Driving down is when it was in this part of the country. It was like here was below 16.
Speaker 1:That's so Going to the high 70, going to the mountains.
Speaker 2:Of course, a lot of things were closed and instead of just being snow covered, which I'm used to, it was ice covered, which is really different. Yeah, when you're driving, you can, you can feel it, you know, you can tell that, you know you don't have traction. You know, if you have that smooth car just an entry to, I'm going to spin, I'm going to lose it. So I just you got a death grip on that sucker, you know.
Speaker 2:I wasn't worried about me. I was worried about people around me. I said why don't someone spin in front of me? I jerk wheeled and off we go. But it took me two and a half times longer to get through one side of the other. So I made it through and did you take?
Speaker 3:a nap.
Speaker 2:As a hotel there at. The lady went, this is going. I was a driver. I said look at me. Yeah, I tell you she goes. We had a lot of cancellations. People couldn't make it through, so that's the part you got through. I said I had to. I got to get to Vegas. You know, got to get to Vegas, I'm in the super bowl.
Speaker 2:I'll be there for that. I'm leaving again tomorrow going down there. So there was no. We got so here in Denver today. It snowed at the mountains last night, so I'm driving through it tomorrow. So they do a good job with the roads here, so it should be okay. So the only time it's an issue is if it's something's going on. At the moment you're going through it. Yeah, it's not going to be butt freezing cold, it was just typical January weather in the Rocky Mountains. So I just got to do better driving back to it last time because it was like may almost kill myself.
Speaker 2:Okay, when you're a truck driver, you know you're driving like shit. Okay, I picked up every time I go to Vegas. These are like the past couple of times. People, I mean it's just like it's like the sickness capital of the world right now, because all the tourists come in Right, I don't wear masks sometimes and they're bringing all kinds of stuff. There's always come back with a cold or flu or stomach virus going there. Dread, going to Vegas always picks up and up there. You know that's when you guys use these days, you know, to place on the strip, okay, and there's a lot of people, so and then they're walking around. It's like, oh, don't bring them, I want to. I mean, I was. I didn't feel good driving back, so I had to cut through Utah to get to the western part of Colorado and it was kind of nighttime and I just was feeling sickly and I just I couldn't stay away.
Speaker 3:No great.
Speaker 2:So I woke up. I had this car. It has a little thing like you veer from your lane, It'll jerk and put you back on the road. Okay, now, it's kind of a neat feature to have. So, uh, there's not a line there, it's just a shoulder. It won't pick up on that.
Speaker 2:So I fell asleep the first time and I was like halfway out the road and the sound of gravel and bushes woke me up. So I'm plowing them down and going, holy crap, get back to the road. I said, okay, sit in the face Like I can do it, I can do it. And then when I fell asleep the second time was on the right side of the road in the cars when it jerked me and moved me over. Okay, and I said, man, just that's going to give myself one more stretch here. If I can't do it, I don't have to stop and do something.
Speaker 2:Third time I nodded off and I woke up. I was halfway under an 18-wheeler semi and he was moving way over the side of the road honking. It's one thing. To get me woke up and get down underneath it, okay, that one really got my attention. I pulled off for the next second and it's been about a half an hour there, just you know, just getting my eye together and just going holy crap. You know you pocketed it In the middle of nowhere in Utah. You know some place called Green River. You know they call it for a reason because the river's really dirty and the truck stopped there sitting around waking up with a head. They're going to call it number number 38. Your shower's ready. Maybe I should buy one of those and wake my ass up. But guess what? He woke myself up and then I made it the next, the next hour and a half, with no issue to get to where my hotel was. It's kind of crap out of me.
Speaker 3:I hope for a better drive this time.
Speaker 3:Hell, man, I hope so too. The only time I ever did it well, no, actually I did I was on the road way back when. Many stories similar, not as bad as that though, man that takes the biscuit. But I do remember coming back from Bally's one time, having done a very long shift on my motorcycle, and I'm standing at Paradise and Flamingo waiting to turn, and of course those lights they don't feel of motorcycles, so they just it doesn't, it doesn't turn green. I fell asleep on my motorcycle.
Speaker 1:I don't know how long it was there.
Speaker 3:No, no, I guess I have my feet down and I just note it off.
Speaker 2:That's a long time you wake up when the sun came up the next day. Yeah, somebody honking their horn, and that usually does it yeah. So I'm just giving you a warning. I'm hitting the road to Vegas tomorrow, so if you see, where do I send the white car? A white car with a doctor pet plates on it. That's me Get the hell out of the way. Okay, I could either be asleep or not.
Speaker 3:Okay, you should get yourself a Tesla so you could sleep. It wouldn't matter.
Speaker 2:Because they shoot in the 70 until I hit them. Everyone's favorite highway in the West, the 15. I'll hit the 15. Well, it's a good thing when you fell asleep.
Speaker 3:You didn't hear. You only heard the sound of gravel and bushes, and not pedestrians.
Speaker 2:Well, it's just the middle of nowhere, in the middle of Utah, as you know. You're going through all the monument areas and it's just pretty pretty in the daytime it's gorgeous and sometimes you're elevated to like 7,000 feet and you could go about the ground and the next thing, you know, I'm airborne. Okay, so I'm way up there falling off, so, and in that time there was the highway was empty, you know. So it's just me and anything's going to happen is going to be killing myself out there, except if I'm the truck.
Speaker 3:Boy, I tell you the scary. Well, let's hope that you have a decent trip and everything gets sorted out who's scared the most of the day, and truck driver was terrified. I imagine he would be. If you're underneath his wheels, jumped out of that straight and go.
Speaker 2:What you on drugs or something? Boy, I said I wish I was, I wouldn't be falling asleep. The hell's wrong with you. Nothing, I'm OK. Just get back in your truck, leave me alone. Sorry, I scared you. Glad you didn't kill me.
Speaker 3:Glad I didn't kill you. No, at least you didn't call the Highway Patrol because you could get a ticket.
Speaker 2:Well, you, could have, but what truck driver's going to want to call the Highway Patrol right?
Speaker 3:Not many. Well, you get a DUI for that. You know, driving under the influence or DWI.
Speaker 2:That wasn't any influence, that was just not feeling well.
Speaker 3:Well, or driving or DWI, then wouldn't it be. Anyway, it didn't happen. Driving suit.
Speaker 2:They have one for driving sick.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean if you're incapacitated in any way, and shouldn't you know, like, how are we going to test that to see if I'm incapacitated? Well, here's the thing If you do something like if you end up with I don't know something that gives you seizures like epilepsy or something, and the DMV finds out, they take your license, you're not allowed to drive because they figure that you might fall asleep at the wheel and they will restrict your license.
Speaker 2:This is just a cold and flu. There's no way they could test it. No well, that's the only time I do epilepsy. I used to fake those in restaurants to get out of paying the bill.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Not even.
Speaker 2:I would do a good one. I really rocked it. You know, it was just back where I was in Civil War, just flying.
Speaker 3:I remember when I went to the Allaman TTs, which is Allaman's, a tiny little little island just west of Liverpool really, I guess. Yeah, Because you get on the ferry and go over there and they have these motorcycle races that take up the whole island and all the motorcyclists from like Europe and England go there and it's, it's a, it's a lot of fun. I think I was only like 17 when I went road up there and oh God, it was cold and then the sun came up and said, oh, that feels better. Anyway, I do. I forget this. We're all sitting at this table and this friend leans over and he goes go, start the bikes up. I go why.
Speaker 3:Just do it. Oh, ok. So I go out there and I start everybody's bikes up and there's like probably 10 of us I think there are some of these bikes are just ticking up. All of a sudden, 10 guys come flying out Out of out of the restaurant. Of course they just run on the, on the, on the check and I didn't know what was going on. I'm sitting there, guys, guys, glad they didn't leave me there, would it be bad? And we've lost you somewhere. Where did you go? What happened Now? Gone, left. Ok, well, let's pause it. Make sure everything's working again. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.
Speaker 3:OK good, yep, we're working, we're good.
Speaker 1:We're there, we're there.
Speaker 3:So here we go Just, and so everybody ran out of the restaurant and got on the motorcycles and run away. So they just, so we didn't have to pay the check Cool huh, there's always creative ways to do that. Well it's you know what they used to do? Is they find something they didn't like and leave them sitting at the table?
Speaker 2:Oh, that's, that's the class the best one. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:That's, that's that's. But then, as I found out many years later when I took a job as a waiter, that if your checks come in, you know, if you don't have enough money to, you know, if it doesn't work out, you have to take it out of your tips. So that kind of sucks. Oh, that does kind of suck. Yeah, so you don't want to.
Speaker 2:Anyway, getting into these ideas, are going to use them to get a free meal this weekend. We would like to take full credit for it. Ok, I mean, don't blame it on me. No, we won't credit for it. Oh yeah, we do.
Speaker 2:Well, you can do it in Vegas, because oh big time Wait staff are paid quite well anyway, and they got a union and everything but Jen, so many people crowded to stuff you can get out of there, just just just creative. You know, just you're having a little mini seizure, so just flip a little bit, throw water glass, you know.
Speaker 3:I'm sorry, I really have to leave now.
Speaker 2:Just a little bathroom. Let me get some medication I got a needle for him and just work your way out the back or the front wire, I don't care, just glad you're out of there.
Speaker 1:Maybe I could try that this afternoon or this evening, get the go, yeah, man.
Speaker 3:I'll get my like osempic type thing and go. I'll be back in a minute.
Speaker 2:I gotta tell you this this will wrap up on this. Ok, this is great, yeah, why close our show with with a little bit of a deliverance squeal? You should know we have to do a pause for your moment of silence, ok, the guy who played the toothless redneck in the woods OK, in deliverance, yeah Was killed in a car crash yesterday. Oh really, he's 85. He was 85 years old. His girlfriend was with him, she was 76. And also he had his pet dog and his something else in there and they were killed Himself, woman, dog and some other animal. You have one, yeah.
Speaker 2:They all bought a moment of skill them for the. For the. He was 85 years old. He was in deliverance. The toothless guy Bert Reynolds is the one who discovered. Well, I don't know when am I going to find people like that? He goes, I mean, I'll go get you some. And ever since Chris and Castile been squealing, ever since For you, sir, this squeals for you buddy. Yes, sir, you get it. You got no teeth, you don't need any.
