Chris and Costello

Just when you thought heart surgery would keep a good man down, Costello waltzes back into the studio, scar and all, trading his hospital gown for a mic. The rollercoaster of a quadruple bypass couldn't quash his spirit, or his ability to make us chuckle at the absurdity of a close shave with mortality—and the nurses. We zoom from the raw edges of a personal health crisis to the lighter side of life, with a detour through pop culture's landscape where Rolling Stones still reign supreme, and Taylor Swift might just be our next MVP in the Skybox.

Of course, life isn't all rock 'n' roll and recovery wards; we also wade into the murky waters of political tides and personal battles with substance abuse, where the stories of public figures like Matthew Perry and O.J. Simpson serve as sobering reminders of the fragility of success. Then there's the global chessboard, where political novelties clash with the age-old turmoil of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and we're left to ponder the weight of history and morality on our shoulders.

So, grab your headphones and prepare for a trek across a landscape dotted with the unexpected and the profound. From health scares to political flares, we've got stories that will tug at your heartstrings and tickle your funny bone. No guest needed this week; just Chris and I, promising a blend of thoughtfulness, humor, and a smidge of chaos—because what's life without a little unpredictability? Stay tuned, and let's march into the unknown together, one episode at a time.

Speaker 3:

Thank you, we do have one in the can I'm working on at the moment, um, but I couldn't work in the hospital. I tried, but it it just didn't want to.

Speaker 2:

Uh, it was, it was awesome the, the infamous hospital show, hasn't been released to the world I'm I'm afraid it hasn't. So, uh, heroes and boys um, what kind of excuses is your quadruple bypass surgery? That's an excuse, putting the show out there.

Speaker 3:

How lame ass is that well, it is pretty lame ass, I'll agree with you. Uh, and none of this is really kind of sunk in. They cracked open my chest and and and pulled everything out, and in a quadruple which means um, germs and ladies who don't know and I'm one of them that all four arteries to my heart were blocked. Now how the hell does that happen? And I mean, I was starting to feel kind of shitty.

Speaker 2:

Anyway, good living and good diet.

Speaker 3:

You've been going by prime rib every night, lobster, two packets of fags. That's what's it.

Speaker 2:

That's what probably did it, yeah the cigarettes at being in the third trimester stomach. Yep, yep, mommy's, you're gonna get birth, maybe soon, son. I don't know. I don't know. That's my food babies.

Speaker 3:

Oh my god, I mean really. So, like I said, how?

Speaker 2:

much. How much weight have you lost so far?

Speaker 3:

I don't know.

Speaker 2:

I haven't weighed myself quite a bit, though, but you can tell you can, you can, you can see right, you can go, look, you're lighter right yeah, and I sure it's fit again and stuff. So I guess this single living one it's a tough way to lose weight either. Most people do a zipping, you go. Well, I'm a quadruple bypass and do it that way. I feel like crap and thought they're like eating well, you know what they?

Speaker 3:

they tried to do, um uh rotor router, but they didn't work uh, so they had to go. Uh, I was. I was on the table for seven hours, seven hours I asked.

Speaker 2:

I asked if I could scrub in and watch and they wouldn't let me. I want to see him get the shredders and, just in, crack you open, spread. That part is fully like a fish. And just go look at this guy. He's got no blood pumping to his heart. They're all clogged up, but so you? Can feel better now you're gonna have energy, you're gonna have blood flow, you're gonna go. Holy crap, I feel you'll feel like. I feel like you go. I feel like I'm 55 again.

Speaker 3:

I already do well, I mean I do accept that I obviously my body is is trying to repair, so, um, it's, it's taking its time, but hey, this is only day two at home, so uh yeah great, I know it's a slow go, but you're doing, you're doing good.

Speaker 2:

Well, thank you, that's a big damn thing you had done there. I mean, you can have a. Really you have a permanent zipper going down your chest there. Nice little scar, couple of them couple of them.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I'm gonna hopefully you ask for the zippers.

Speaker 2:

That way, you just don't zip at any time.

Speaker 3:

You're cool, look at here oh, I don't think we're gonna need to do that again. It was interesting, though, because I mean, you know what what is done it was. I mean, you know the things they do to you pre-operatively. Um, I'd heard about but didn't really believe. But uh, suddenly I noticed that the drawstring to my pants was being pulled and the next thing I knew, my pants were on the ground barely standing there.

Speaker 2:

There's a question wait, you mentioned that they had to shave you. Yeah, I was just about to tell you, everywhere you had your, you had your dicky shavers. I mean, you had your armpit shavers, every. You know, of course you gotta get a little, get a little woody going. When they shave, you do it, the dicky shavers. But no, no, you can draw yourself, could you? But what? What's the reason for the total body shave? Did I tell you?

Speaker 3:

just gonna get into this brilliant bit that I f*** what Jesus I mean, why would he do that? I well, it has to do with hygiene. I think I mean it has sterile. Yeah, be sterile, got to be sterile everything.

Speaker 2:

So when they're hoping your chest, the last thing they want to see is a pubic air in there. Is that the thing? Absolutely Yep.

Speaker 3:

Absolutely, if you sent back downstairs again. So I mean, y'all shaved up.

Speaker 2:

You look like you're. You're 12 years old down there again, right Probably.

Speaker 3:

I'm really looking, really look, to be honest, you know so. So there I was, just I was just standing there and suddenly my, my scrubs hit the floor. Before I knew it, there were two beautiful nurses standing in front of me with raises. This only happens once in a lifetime, because still I remember this wonderful moment. And, yeah and gently, as they shaved all the hairs off my legs and I, I look down and Meet the eyes of a lovely young nurse and she gazes back at me and says you know, sir, I tend to be a little clumsy sometimes. I Said, really, that's a terrible thing to tell me I lost you have my genitals in your hand, but it was okay. She shaved and that thing was okay. And then she said you know, once you've shaved somebody in such, a, such a Private area, it feels like we've bonded. She'd yes, it does, I Feel bonded with you too.

Speaker 2:

Well, she said, you're hanging on the the shaver. Oh yeah, okay.

Speaker 3:

She's only shaving my balls and We've bonded, then perhaps, maybe we should go for a drink Many weeks after, I should think. So there you go, girls and boys. There's today's a Little bit of literature for you.

Speaker 2:

Man, I just knew she said one thing. You may have been a lot of it. I heard her say sirs, you're asked, always been this hairy.

Speaker 3:

Well, we'll see how they say it grows back twice as Harry. That's not gonna be good news.

Speaker 2:

So you're clean shaven. You got a date, you know what she likes to do. Now on your other date. I guess, I shave you again please.

Speaker 3:

I got the foam and I got saved this time. Oh yeah, Well, you never know. You never know. I have no idea even how to how to find these people. I should find them and thank them anyway, because it was a great bit of levity and what was basically a really shit moment. I mean, it take that takes literally some balls, doesn't it? You know to make crack a joke when you got somebody's balls in your hands like, yeah, that's good. Oh, I tell you she was absolutely wonderful and so are you.

Speaker 2:

Are you going after this drink I?

Speaker 3:

don't know, I'm well, I not. Now I've got a way to get in as it was she serious that may get a drink. I don't know. I she was at the moment. She was definitely serious.

Speaker 2:

We'll have to find out in age, or to me she's not even close, not even close, not even close.

Speaker 3:

I know isn't that wonderful, so be the date in your dreams Okay you know what. And then you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and bang back to reality. God, what's that fat? That fat ugly thing? Always me.

Speaker 2:

Go, man, can you turn the lights out again, so look good, okay. Yeah, really, really damn, I look good in the dark, okay. So there you go, boy, I try to why you were recuperating from your quadruple dooples, superduper bypass Some, some pod news news came about. Oh, why you were, why we were out. We had to skip a week. Okay. Yeah and I guess this makes sense. The number one podcast in the country since we're not on was Ghost stories. Who are all?

Speaker 2:

the way and I guess you want to go stories. Okay, yeah, yeah, but this dude think I had no idea this. Okay, get your back in school, and I guess podcasts is now part of their regimen lifestyle.

Speaker 3:

Education, oh yeah, why not?

Speaker 2:

48% of all kids in school listen to a podcast. One podcast every week, once a week, okay, 48%. So we could, we could Jump into that. You know that audience, if you just clean up your damn potty mouth a little bit, okay, still likes to drop the F bomb all the time. We have 48% of all kids listen to podcast. But you're trash mouth. We clean that. Maybe we can go for that audience, can you do it? What are you doing back there you?

Speaker 3:

Get my shaving. Party no, no, no, I won't flush until we finished. All right, go ahead. Yes, so so these kids are getting off on horror 48%.

Speaker 2:

Wow, listen to a podcast fully every week. One podcast a week, that's interesting. That's, that's half. I mean that's a huge number, but we don't have a chance of that as long as you keep, you, keep, you keep. You know you're talking trash. You can't actually. You love, you love to drop the F bomb.

Speaker 3:

I'll, I'll make, I'll make, I'll make an extra effin not to say that then. Yeah, what the fuck's wrong with this? Clean it up, right. Really, I have some sort of shit anymore. Oh Okay, I said shit. Oh, no, no, we can do that. We can do that if we must, but anyway, sometimes you just have to use the little button here, you know. Anyway, yeah, that's just, that's a lot of people. We got listeners all over the place and we got more now, just by the way, yeah, yeah, yep, yep, I was looking at our stats, so that's really nice. So you know, of course, what we should tell people is that we are, of course, weekly show. We do this. Well, it's been me weekly this week, but you know, barring death, yeah, we're pretty much here for you every week.

Speaker 2:

I just told your sisters to try to keep you up right, and guess you just keel over and you sit there and pretend you're doing the show and I'll do both voices.

Speaker 3:

Well, I tell you what I just made a promo before I went in there. It's all AI that the promo is, and you can't you can barely tell.

Speaker 2:

I like our AI.

Speaker 3:

It sounds good. Oh it is, you have listened to it. That is good.

Speaker 2:

I will hey. Yes, it's still a national phenomenon, so we have to be a part of it once again this week. Okay, some things just don't go away as fast as we would like, right, okay, lead me on Taylor. Swift, taylor Swift, travis Kelsey. Oh yeah, okay, the Kansas, the Kansas City Chiefs are playing at my city, denver this weekend.

Speaker 2:

Of course it's kind of snow and cold, but I mean we've lost to him 16 times in a row. I feel 17 is coming on. She doesn't go back on tour in South America until a little next week, late next week rather. So Audra High, she's probably going to be in Denver tomorrow on the Skybox. Can we find out for sure?

Speaker 3:

I would Well we'd have to check the roster and see if you know she's playing like a supporting position, so to speak.

Speaker 2:

Like a butt rash that just won't go away. Here's Chris and Costello Costello. Hey, Costello, just to let you know I have your surgeon here, Okay.

Speaker 1:

Uh-huh.

Speaker 2:

Doc, I'm not going to keep you long, okay, I just want to know that after you perform the quadruple, super duple, double dupe, boy Scott and out Dot, not on Costello, yeah. And you walked into the room and you looked at him. What did you think? Huh, it's alive. It's alive, it's alive. That's exactly how I felt.

Speaker 3:

Even he was shocked. Yeah, I'm not really surprised. Well, who's shocked?

Speaker 2:

Art surgeon in South Carolina. Well hell, I pulled this off.

Speaker 3:

Well, I was his second patient. I was on his table for seven hours, man, seven fricking hours, but man, yeah, you know what? The worst thing about all this was that the taste and smell sensation that you get after surgery. It's about gone now, but everything smelled of this horrible chemically like um, oh God, it was. It was like living in West Virginia again. Remember that town that used to stink Nitro? That was it. Um, just just.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, well, they just, they had those plants. They put out those gaseous fumes all the time. Yeah, and they wonder why everybody in West Virginia only has three teeth. Well, everything, everything, breathing that shit.

Speaker 3:

Everything I, everything, I could smell, everything, I could taste. It just had this, this flavor to it. Oh God, it's gone now, thank God, so that's good. We're feeling pretty good about that. Um, hey, did you happen to hear, just by the way, that the Rolling Stones new album or is the single is number one downloads and such like? I think that's great.

Speaker 2:

I mean, there's no competition right now, so I don't know why it wouldn't do well.

Speaker 3:

There is no competition.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

Welcome, welcome, lady Gaga Coming down, coming down, you're right. Well, that's why it's number one. Okay, it's wonderful and it's good. It's actually, it's actually pretty good. Yes, exactly, yeah, about time, probably the last one.

Speaker 2:

Oh it's gotta be.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I mean, keith Richard is going to eventually one day succumb and fall over and that'll be the end of it.

Speaker 2:

But I don't know. Keith Richard is going.

Speaker 3:

Hey, I live Matthew Perry, so hey that he did exactly the same thing as, um uh, of course, whitney Houston and Whitney's doing.

Speaker 2:

We don't know yet I mean it's just like oh, he drowned. They knew that they found some drug paraphernalia there. She passed out and sunk underneath the water Right. They said he was really happy that he just renovated this house. He was enjoying the hot tub. He was in a great mood, great spirit, something I don't know. How they hectic you drown by yourself in a hot tub. I don't, I don't get it. But maybe you had a heart attack.

Speaker 3:

He could well have been. I was on my way to trade a chose and I was pretty happy and presto being yeah, see, what's going to happen is like you're not alone.

Speaker 2:

Guess, this week OJ, who's still in Vegas? We see him from time to time driving around. He's going. You know, I'm driving around, I'm passing out at the red lights. Is he really passing out standing up? Uh-oh, I went to the hospital. They took me right there. They said they're going to crack my chest and do all kinds of stuff to me. Yeah, and you had the same problem you had set. For some reason they did it instead of cracking him because obviously I guess that freaked him out, but it didn't save you life, it doesn't matter. They went up, they went to vein up his wrist and went into the heart that way.

Speaker 3:

Oh, okay.

Speaker 2:

And then an ablation on him. Okay, so when he woke up during the procedure. Oh, it's well known fact that surgeons and the staff listen to some music while they're out working on it, cause you know they're in there for a long time. Seven hours for you.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

He woke up and during the procedure and I've done that before and they were playing Wu Tan clan, he didn't like, so he was freaking out. I forgot where he was. He listened to Wu Tan clan. He just like. He started freaking out the table. You're great, great. I know I said flipping around, they're going come on, man die on the table, but now he, obviously you survive.

Speaker 3:

Well, there you go.

Speaker 2:

I mean, you and OJ having a hard issue in the same week.

Speaker 3:

Yes, and who else? Somebody else did too. Yeah Well, you see, you know it's trending and it's trendy to do that. I don't really recommend it. I could be quite honest with you. See, they did that with me, they, they, they tried to do a, do an angioplasty thing. That wouldn't work, so I guess it's why it took them so long. But so they carved up my, my legs are all carved up too. Don't get it, do you?

Speaker 2:

I don't no, no, you just don't get it, do you? You don't? Yeah, you don't get it. It's a serious thing. Did they use different valves in you? Did they take one from your dog, one from your neighbor?

Speaker 3:

No, they just did a bypass.

Speaker 2:

One from a pig.

Speaker 3:

They just did a bypass. No, no valves, no valves.

Speaker 2:

So so just kind of cut out the blockage and it's hooked you back up and that's right.

Speaker 3:

Let you blood flow. I'll tell you what I feel awake now. It hurts but I'm awake and I can't move very far, but I'm awake.

Speaker 2:

Once you get going and you're over the pain and stuff, your energy level is going to be through the roof.

Speaker 3:

Excellent, good, I've got two shows to edit as it is.

Speaker 2:

All right, man, People want to hear. They want to hear to Kristen Costello. Original canceled radio guys. Yes, and you're sitting under your ass using a quadruple bypass as an excuse. No, I'm not.

Speaker 3:

When the hell drives you boy. No, I got a letter from my mom.

Speaker 2:

Doesn't that get me?

Speaker 3:

excused, Dear God man, I mean how many five?

Speaker 2:

other from your mom. Your two sisters were there. Is that a big?

Speaker 3:

family affair for you. Oh, am I my kids, yep, my two children and your kids Go ahead.

Speaker 2:

That's it. That was all of us. When I cancer, I went to my seven hour surgery, I woke up and guess who was there.

Speaker 3:

Nobody Exactly Thank you. Well, thank you, mike. When I had cancer too, the same thing.

Speaker 2:

My wife was there.

Speaker 3:

Mine wasn't as big as yours, though, my cancer thing, so you're lucky. My wife the rock was there she was there. That's cool.

Speaker 2:

He'd been the rock.

Speaker 3:

Indeed. So there you go, we should, we should give her an award.

Speaker 2:

This is Halloween. So, yeah, we're not Halloween. I'm sick of I can't. Everywhere you look and it's the number one costume. People think this is so cool. This is not a Halloween To me. This is like spooky stuff, you know. Yeah, but everyone's dressing up like Taylor Swift and Travis Guels, the Kansas City.

Speaker 3:

Well, that's kind of stupid, because that's not scary.

Speaker 2:

Well, that's it's like. To me it's more like a costume party masquerade thing. You dress up like that, but for Halloween it's like it's Taylor Swift and Travis Guelph.

Speaker 3:

But that there's nothing scary.

Speaker 2:

And who are you?

Speaker 3:

Well, that's, I can't get out. So I don't know.

Speaker 2:

I'm stuck here. Well, the pants you wear in the costume, it could be scary.

Speaker 3:

But you know, I remember one year in fact, who was, when I was working with you and the first time I'd ever actually dressed up for Halloween. And what I did was I got all this tissue paper and I got that rubber glue right and put it on my face and I stretched it out and let it dry a bit, and I let it dry over the gas range. God knows how I got away with this. Think about that for a minute.

Speaker 2:

And so almost the same thing. I've had some of that rubber mask glued to the same thing, yeah, and I put some of that stuff to it, like like skin hanging that.

Speaker 1:

I have to make up over it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I was like a guy, a melting guy, you know so I loved doing stuff that's scary.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, that's good fun stuff, not this. I'm going to dress up Now. If I dressed up like Taylor Swift, it would be a little scary, that's true, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Well, if you say, for example, if you dress up like Taylor Swift and then you do the melting face thing, dressed up like that, that would be good.

Speaker 1:

Well, I would be kind of yeah, If you don't see missing his arms, he couldn't catch a pass.

Speaker 2:

That would be good, just kind of like the game he had against the Broncos this past Sunday. He couldn't catch a pass so because his baby wasn't up in the sky box going, oh my big straw.

Speaker 3:

No, he wasn't there. Oh, dear, and it's one of those, she wasn't there. So he couldn't catch a pass and they lost, didn't they?

Speaker 2:

I don't remember what the score was Every game she's been at they've won, and they've won easy. Yeah, I mean she wasn't there. It's like, well, I couldn't perform. She wasn't there. It's what the board could do, it you mean.

Speaker 3:

what the thing of it is, of course, is that the I'm making you sick, yet yeah, the defense is all looking up. They're going. Oh look there she is. Meanwhile the score goes up.

Speaker 2:

That's pretty Well if you notice they show us this before game. Players were looking up there to see if she was around, yeah, and they were like this one's got to get ready going back on tour in a few days in South America. They're going to be a part. Oh no, how are they going to survive?

Speaker 3:

Oh dear my schnookums.

Speaker 2:

After about two weeks, Taylor will be going. Travis, what, Travis, what I lied For what? For what?

Speaker 3:

I do have that conversation of you and her a couple of weeks ago. Again, my apologies.

Speaker 1:

Was that good?

Speaker 2:

Yes, I think so We'll actually. We'll get out there so our listeners can hear it. Sometimes soon before the next year, yes, soon.

Speaker 3:

Indeed, indeed, next couple of days, I mean, you know it's well, like I say, I do have that, I did have that small cold and that did kind of stop me from doing stuff. So, man, it's a good morning excuse after another. I know I had a triple heart bypass surgery. Oh no, I got a cold.

Speaker 2:

Hey hey. I got COVID again Sorry excuse me. Yeah, I got herpes quadruple.

Speaker 3:

Speaker 2:

Did they drive on the right side of the road on the way back?

Speaker 3:

Wouldn't matter. Around here no one will notice, maybe not. Yeah, I trust that they did. But so, yeah, back to back to good old blighty, where it's been snowing much like it is at your place, and you know. So, yep, they were gone, they were gone, and so now I'm all on my lonesome.

And there's a nice big hole in the backyard where you can eventually put a swimming pool if you want. That's going to be just lovely and a nice view of the Golan Heights as well.

Speaker 2:

Fabulous, fabulous. There's fighting back and forth. You can't even say, okay, we stand by Israel. But you can't even say, like, well, wait a minute, take it easy, you're just bombing also innocent Palestinians.

Speaker 1:

Every.

Speaker 2:

Palestinian is Hamas, you know Right. And so if you say that and people are going, you're standing up for terrorists. No, we're not.

Speaker 1:

I hate the terrorists.

Speaker 2:

There's innocent people there as well too, I mean, I think, the only thing you can do with a you know.

Speaker 3:

If somebody's going to be ultra orthodox or whatever is to say listen, you look after your own, you look after people. You don't bomb the shit out of them because you're pissed off at their neighbor, because they're both to blame. I'm sorry. You know what I mean. Israel's been doing that and I'm saying this is you know it's all your answers.

Speaker 2:

It's real. It's real. They're just pissed right now. They're like we were after 9-11. Just go and just whatever you see they're pissed. They're worse than that because you attack innocent people at a concert, at a dance. I mean, how many did they kill? 1400? Or so Okay, Listen you killed about 4000 Palestinians. Yeah, well, that's they're inside now too.

Speaker 3:

And they destroyed the whole country. But here's the thing right Now, back in 1938, maybe it was 19, yeah, it would be about that when they rounded up all the Jews, okay, put them in Poland. And the Nazis did this, not the conservatives, anyway, right. So now you've got and this is what they did to the Palestinians you got this tiny stripper land. There's like 3 million people in there, it's a tiny place and then you wall them off. You wall them off and then you restrict everything and anything that can come and go, and you restrict them and their travel. It doesn't take long for them to get pissed off about it. I don't. I mean, I don't agree with the way, you know, killing people. I don't agree with that kind of terrorism, but what has been done to them over the decades of this?

Speaker 2:

It's not going to be the Gaza Strip anymore, it's just going to be the Gaza whole. Yeah, is it? Well, yeah.

Speaker 3:

But I mean, you know all those people who lived there and you know what. 50% of them are children, and so you know, now you're oh, don't get me started.

Speaker 2:

And good faith on my end. Uncle Joey, the little Jewish war who lived in my basement, yeah, I set him free, I let him go.

Speaker 3:

Since I was probably over there. Well, that was, that was mighty fine to you to have you, isn't that good of me? I'm going to let him go. He's out there.

Speaker 2:

He's, he's. You know he got he got sunburn. He hadn't seen his son in like six months, oh, so he had to be treated for that. He's a little bit dehydrated. So basically he was a little bit away but I set him free. He's saying he's going, he's out there, he's kind of the basement he's scuttled away, he did. Yeah, that's the old trail behind him.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, we cleaned that, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, you know that's not our job to to to preach about things, but sometimes what needs to be said needs to be said, and that's that's it and you said and then they you said they asked this new speaker of the house, so he sounded like an insurance salesman.

Speaker 2:

What's his name? Mike Johnson. Hey, I'm a state farm and I'm also your speaker at the house. They asked him. So what do you think? What's going on? Now he goes. Are you still standing with Israel? He goes open the Bible. That's my answer.

Speaker 3:

Well, pick a page, any page, don't get me started. No, no, no, never have any lessons.

Speaker 2:

Well, actually he's. If you, if you're a Democrat, you should be happy he's there because he's more good field to the fire in it, because he's you know that's true. You know he's extreme, and so they'll pick on that as we get closer to the election. About a year away now, we're the year countdown clock this coming week, man.

Speaker 3:

That's true. Well, he's extreme right, isn't it? So yeah, a year a year.

Speaker 2:

God who's. They had a. They had a great thing because you know everyone's talking about the go to Vegas. You're talking about this the spear, which is great, concerts are great. The outside of it, just people to stop and gawk at it because the way they, they're actually selling ads on it now and stuff too. So there's one, the head boy. It said Trump 20, 24 to years in prison. I saw that one. Yeah, was that great? Yes.

Speaker 3:

Oh, maybe it might come true, but of course he can run the country from a prison cell apparently.

Speaker 2:

All the people who were indicted with him are bailing in their turncoat. They're going. I'll talk.

Speaker 3:

Save myself, I'll talk yeah, his kids, they just go, they've got to go.

Speaker 2:

Well, they're just testifying, they're not charged anything but all the people who were.

Speaker 2:

They're the 18 co-defendants who were charged with him in Georgia. So far, I think it's been my five or six who've already made plea deals in exchange for testifying and talking against him. So how the heck is he not going to get out of this thing? I mean, everyone else is flipping and saying, okay, we did it, yes, we're guilty, and he goes uh, I'm still not guilty. Is that going to work? I just can't wait to ask the how's it going to fly? How's he not going to get a prison sentence out of one of these things?

Speaker 3:

Well, unless maybe he ends up in front of one of his judges.

Speaker 2:

We get a year to figure it out, because nobody wants him as a nominee and they don't want Biden only because he's done a lot of good stuff and everyone goes, okay, you've done a great job, but you're too old, okay, so step aside and thank you very much, and so give me a little. I thank you, thank you. Who we got? We got the Looney Tunes. Bobby Kennedy, who command? He's living off the name. If he was halfway sane he would be a great nominee but he's not.

Speaker 3:

No, he's not. He's not His whole family took out a page of the New York Times saying we disavowed this man. He's nothing to do with us.

Speaker 2:

He's not a Kennedy.

Speaker 3:

He's the only name only.

Speaker 2:

Exactly, exactly, and he dropped and he's running as an independent now. I didn't even know he's been Democrats, he's gone all the way back to the forties or so. It's just I killed him. What do we got? Who we get?

Speaker 3:

We get nobody. Well, you know, there must, there's gotta be some.

Speaker 2:

Republicans have a shot at. They can replace the idiot. But Democrats who they got?

Speaker 3:

Well, there is one guy running. Can't remember his name, though.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, there isn't a guy running. Yeah, yeah, just what a what?

Speaker 3:

a question, I know him.

Speaker 2:

There's a guy running. That's how we know him Exactly.

Speaker 3:

I'll vote for the guy. Hey, he's got my vote yeah.

Speaker 2:

Who is it? It's the guy, yeah. It's not Biden, it's not Trump. So I'm for him. Okay, as long as he's didn't say we'd be debiable. That's my stance. As long as he wasn't an election denier, he's got my vote.

Speaker 3:

Well, he is a Democrat and he's the guy.

Speaker 2:

He's the guy. Well, I'm like in. I vote for the best person. I've never been a party guy. I don't know about you. No, I just.

Speaker 3:

I got you.

Speaker 2:

I voted Republicans in the past and Democrats as well. I just want a good person. Right now, the Republicans have some other people who may be okay. I mean Mike Pence dropped out here's a shock.

Speaker 3:

That's true. Well, I mean that was, why did he?

Speaker 2:

He dropped out in Vegas, he was doing a speech in Vegas, and went yeah, it's not my time, mike, it never will be your time. I mean, once he had people thanking him for standing up to Trump. You know, certifying the election, all that stuff, we do appreciate all that, but he, just he, just he ain't the guy, don't know man, you need a guy.

Speaker 3:

Why don't we just let Putin in and let him run the town place?

Speaker 2:

You lost your mind.

Speaker 3:

Yes, I'm being you're not the guy. Extremely facetious, holy crap. Not to the guy it's like the stick. Did you ever watch that show and some of the funniest TV I've ever seen? Don't get it, Grier.

Speaker 2:

You don't what, you just don't get it. Grier, you don't, that doesn't, you didn't get it. No, never mind, right, fine, but you don't have it yet. You know, we just need to find a guy.

Speaker 3:

Well, we got a guy.

Speaker 2:

If anybody has any suggestions, that'd be great. We need a guy.

Speaker 3:

That's a good point. There must be somebody out there.

Speaker 2:

I'm glad he was brains. Who the hell would want this office?

Speaker 3:

Well, he doesn't pay very well either, I think, if we had in the past.

Speaker 2:

You could have, you know, maybe run for this thing and just passed it because they're gone.

Speaker 3:

Well, you know what you look at. Say, someone like Obama, for example, right when he won he looked quite youthful. He had, you know, black hair and everything, and then by the a couple of years in he'd hold Haggard. His hair's gone gray. He does it to everybody, except for Reagan, because he was old when he started.

Speaker 2:

So I mean, if he he dyed his hair too.

Speaker 3:

Oh, yes, he did. Most certainly, Howdywood you know howdywood, oh yeah yeah, yeah. So I mean you see Biden while his hair was already silver, so it doesn't really matter.

Speaker 2:

But this is mostly transplanted and it's all gray it is.

Speaker 3:

Oh, it doesn't again.

Speaker 2:

If he had a hair transplant he wouldn't have nothing up there to be totally bald.

Speaker 3:

Oh really, yeah, you didn't know that. No, I didn't know that, oh well.

Speaker 2:

Elon Musk hair transplant.

Speaker 3:

Oh, really. Well, yeah, it doesn't surprise me, Joe Biden hair transplant. I get you Well, Chris Bailey, yeah okay. Oh well, Matthew Perry, we didn't have a chance to ask.

Speaker 2:

Oh well, yeah, he Was that too soon. I'm sorry, he probably did yeah too, soon. Well, I don't know, by the time I've edited this and got it out?

Speaker 3:

probably not. I'm surprised to learn Matthew's only 54.

Speaker 2:

I doubt, because he's had a rough life. He looked so much older, he looked good. Well, I mean, he did a lot of drugs. That's what drugs and alcohol will do to you man. That's it. Just age you make you look good, you know. Yeah, Well, that's. I'm glad he was trying to get things under control, but you know, it just affected him a lot.

Speaker 3:

It does that to. I mean that's it. I mean it rots the brain. It does a lot of things to you. Ages you for one thing yeah big time I'm glad I didn't do any of those things.

Speaker 2:

Aren't you glad our cocaine days are behind us yeah, really yeah, although that was fun. It's only because we couldn't get any good stuff. That's why.
