Chris and Costello

Experience a mosaic of emotions and insights as we traverse through the celebration of personal triumphs and dive headfirst into the contentious waters of gun control, mental health, and the fabric of American society. Our guest, Roger Doltry, graces the HBO screen with a laser-focus on the stark differences between US and UK gun cultures. We navigate the nuances of this debate and dissect the overused narrative of mental health crises, juxtaposing it with Denver's innovative approach to emergency response.

Strap in for a heart-tugging ride through the realm of country music where black artists like Charlie Pride, Mickey Guyton, and Jimmy Allen are breaking barriers and reshaping the genre. We'll dissect the double standards faced by these artists and the impact of smartphone addiction on modern social interactions, sharing stories that are all too familiar in our digitized world. It's a candid conversation about the changing tides in music and the cost of living in a world where screens often overshadow human connection.

As the episode crescends, we grapple with the complexities of the Electoral College and the daunting path to U.S. citizenship, grounded in personal accounts of navigating the immigration process. We'll share a laugh over our family's attempt at musical glory (or lack thereof) and pull back the curtain on the endearing chaos of podcasting, where our technical blunders add a dash of authenticity to the mix. Finally, brace yourself for a provocative dialogue on a controversial new book that challenges our ethics on animal treatment, inviting you to reconsider the fine line between care and cruelty. Join us on this eclectic auditory adventure where laughter, debate, and reflection collide.

Speaker 1:

Or are they just following the cool kids? Beyonce's new album, more Bits and news of a new radio station for the original Radio Guys. So sit down I said S-I-T down and enjoy Chris and Costello, the original cancelled radio guys.

Speaker 2:

Hey, this is Chris.

Speaker 3:

Hey, it's Costello. Here we go, here we go.

Speaker 2:

I was watching a show the other night. I was watching real time on HBO and the first guest on there you ready, Roger Dolphin.

Speaker 3:

Oh, wow.

Speaker 2:

That's cool. He's doing like a solo tour this summer. He's 80 years old now. Looks good. I guess he still sings. Okay, His voice sounds a little weak, he's 80 years old, but he's the English guy that he is. He did a couple of things. I thought you would appreciate, okay, All the troubles going on and all the problems you know Britain is having as a country.

Speaker 2:

And he goes well you know, we've got some stuff going on, but when we look back and we look at the States and look at you guys, what you have going on, we don't feel so bad. One for the Brits against the US. And then he hit us again. He goes you know you guys in the States have something that we don't have. You know what that would be. You know what that would be. You know what that would be. You know what that would be. You know what that would be. You know what that would be.

Speaker 3:

You know what that would be. You know what that would be. You know what that would be. You know what that would be. You know, what that would be. Well, we have class in America. No, no, okay, we've got a king. Nope Guns. Oh, that's not necessarily true, but not like we do.

Speaker 2:

Guns right, okay, apparently we're the only gun-assessed country in the world. I guess I don't know it's always been that way since day one. I guess why everybody feels it's okay to have them. But that's a good point. I mean, you know, in Britain guns is not a thing. You just can't own a gun, is that right?

Speaker 3:

Well, you can get a shotgun and stuff with special permits.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it costs a lot of time, Otherwise it's all whatever. It just doesn't happen.

Speaker 3:

People just don't shoot each other. They stab each other.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so well, you know.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Running away from a stabbing or running away from a bullet, but you know I can't ever recall a mass shooting in England. I know they have some idiots running across the London Bridge with a knife once in a while, right?

Speaker 3:

That's true. Yeah, I can't think of a mass shooting. It's very rare, very rare. I mean think back to just a couple of weeks ago when we were in Vegas and my daughter's house and her boyfriend Remember. He opened the cupboard and it was like just jammed. Well, he's a policeman.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, in his house he had guns beer more guns and a truck. And a truck, Guns, trucks and beer I got a daughter. He staggered to the Americans two times in the interview. Look at you guys, we don't feel so bad All the crap you guys got going on. You guys got guns, we don't.

Speaker 3:

Wasn't it in Cincinnati where they had that riot? I think a couple of people died there. They had the riot at a who concert.

Speaker 2:

Nobody would remember that. No, I don't.

Speaker 3:

Well, it did happen, and it was a long, long, long time ago. What?

Speaker 2:

century? Was that Last century, two centuries?

Speaker 3:

ago Last century okay. Yeah, last century.

Speaker 2:

It just makes you think of stuff. I kind of made a list here okay.

Speaker 3:

All right, good, I like yours.

Speaker 2:

I need a sound effect for this. Okay, at the appropriate time. Ready, sick of this shit. Okay, we're going to take it one thing at a time. I'm sick of this shit, not shit, it's shit okay.

Speaker 3:

Shit shit. And the question is who said that?

Speaker 2:

I said that I'm just sick of this. She it. I mean, these are things that I'm sick of, or things I'm sick of hearing about Number one on my list some shit I'm sick of. If I hear this one more time, I'm going to scream Look, he's having a mental health issue. What I mean, you know, that's the freaking mental health issue. What I mean, you know. That's the freaking issue about it. Say what I mean. Come on, we grew up and we even raised our kids and stuff. I never heard that stupid phrase.

Speaker 2:

Look at yourself, go through in a week.

Speaker 3:

You're happy sometimes.

Speaker 2:

Sometimes you're sad. Sometimes you see something. Here's something that makes you laugh, maybe make you cry, makes you think. Sometimes you have a really stressful day or a stressful week. It's just, it's just part of life, but now it's like anything pops up like that. It's like they're having a mental health issue. You know you're here, Pretty.

Speaker 3:

It is good that people are taking a little bit of attention to it. But you're right, everything is oh has to have a name. He's, he's having this because now he's he's bipolar, sexually inactive or something, but you know it's just.

Speaker 2:

it's just, it's just blowing it up, okay. So it's okay If you talk to someone. If you have an issue and you think you need to talk to someone, I'm always for that. But this is really stupid. Denver is added to the nine one one. If you are having a mental health issue, he can call nine one one and they send over a psychologist and another person to help you with your issue. You sit there and they chat and they hold your hand and you talk until they feel you're okay and then they leave. Are you kidding me, are you?

Speaker 1:

nuts.

Speaker 2:

I mean, it's just like sometimes there's a shooting. Now A guy goes in and shoots four people at work. They're going well, he's had a rough time at work. He had a mental health issue, no shit, he shot four people. What a stupid phrase. We all go through emotions and stress and happiness. It is stupid. It's all part of life. It's never been called before. Did they ever say you're having a mental health issue when you're happy and you're laughing? Oh, look at him, he's mental. He's laughing. He's crazy.

Speaker 3:

It's only like this.

Speaker 2:

A little stressed or a little sad or just like you're having a bad day. Now it's called a mental health issue.

Speaker 3:

What's next on your list? There, I think we got the message.

Speaker 2:

No, I'm still in my soapbox. It's your turn.

Speaker 3:

Hop in the soapbox, go ahead. Is it things that I'm sick?

Speaker 2:

of no. No, you're okay with the mental health thing. You're fine with that. That's it, have you agreed?

Speaker 3:

I think it's a very necessary thing, but I do think that they kind of overdo it. Like you say, and I agree with that, why give it a title? Hey, I'm pissed off today. All right, deal with it.

Speaker 2:

Exactly, it's a mental health issue. Everybody's pissed off at me. What's the difference? Okay, okay, yeah, okay. Some sick of the shit Rednecks going nuts over Beyonce's country opera. Well, they're just stupid.

Speaker 3:

I'm sorry you guys haven't listened to it obviously.

Speaker 2:

It's a race thing. As usual, she's not the first black person to do country. She won't be the last person to do country. There are a decent amount of black country artists now. They just think, well, look where she came from, she's this, she's do country. There are a decent amount of black country artists now. They just think, well, look where she came from, she's this, she's not country, she can't do country.

Speaker 3:

It's like who's the guy? He died recently? I think Charlie, charlie Bride. Yeah, yeah, you got Mickey.

Speaker 2:

Guyton. Now you have Jimmy Allen.

Speaker 3:

You know Beyonce's doing her Plenty now, yeah, now.

Speaker 2:

Cal fit over Beyonce Doing a country album.

Speaker 3:

If they stopped and listened to the lyrics, they would say this is a fabulous album. The production is great. We talked about this before. It's a hell of an album.

Speaker 2:

Did you hear the song that you did with Miley? Did you check that one out?

Speaker 3:

I'm sure I did.

Speaker 4:

Sixteen carriages driving away While I watch them ride with my dreams away to the summer sunset on a holy night, on a long black road. All the tears I fight. 16 carriages driving away while I watch them ride with my dreams away to the summer sunset On a holy night on a long black road, all the tears I've cried. At 15, the innocence was gone astray. Had to leave my home at an early age. I saw mama praying, I saw daddy grind. All my tender problems had to leave behind. It's been umpteen summers and I'm not in my bed On the back of the bus in a bunk with the band Going so hard gotta choose myself. Underpaid and overwhelmed, I might cut clean but still won't fall, still working on my life. You know. Only God knows, only God knows, only God knows. Sixteen carriages Driving away While I watch them ride with my fears away to the summer sunset on a holy night on a long long.

Speaker 3:

I don't remember which one it was. I can't. I've listened to the whole album a few times.

Speaker 2:

Did we in the pop world get upset when Taylor Swift went from country to pop music? Of course not. She may go back to country. Who knows, you can do whatever you want. So what? That'd be great if she did that. Ali Parton did a rock album last year called Rockstar.

Speaker 4:

We thought it was great.

Speaker 2:

But the rednecks said what did you do to Beyonce doing a country album? She can't be doing that shit.

Speaker 4:

Oh no, no, no no.

Speaker 3:

Oh, it's silliness. They just well people with narrow minds, man, you know.

Speaker 2:

When the CD first came out, there were actually some country stations who refused to play it. Yeah, I remember Backlash and stuff. They had to start playing it but they didn't want to. It's crazy, yeah.

Speaker 3:

but it's good, I think everybody should get on YouTube, okay, and you should listen to the track. It's called Ya, ya, I think Ya, ya, ya.

Speaker 2:

One of those. There's some cow shit Ya.

Speaker 3:

Ya Well, here's the thing, but follow the lyrics and you'll go. That's one hell of a song, let alone a country song, I mean. It really puts things right in place as to what's going on these days.

Speaker 2:

Get over it. Okay, a lot more singing. You know, I'm sick of this shit. I'm so sick of this shit. People walking around with their face stuck in their phone like this I can't take it. I go out a lot.

Speaker 2:

They're on their phone and they're talking to someone or looking down, they're not looking up. I have to do this. I have to go look up, hey, look up, hey, look up. I have to yell because if they don't, they're going to walk and cram right into me. It's like they're the only people on the freaking street, you know, and they just, they just are so into it. They don't look up at people, they don't acknowledge people. Hey, how you doing? They can't even give it a few minutes just to be outside and enjoy the surroundings and and see some other folks in a social setting, nope, facing the phone, and they will walk right into my ass if I don't yell at them and just start yelling you them, hey, look up.

Speaker 3:

Hey, hey, look up they look up and think oh sorry.

Speaker 2:

Most times they don't even say sorry, they just look up. So they change direction and just keep on going.

Speaker 3:

Back when I was in Vegas. I remember going through a parking lot and this girl was just so into her music she's doing I'm right behind her and she's got to have heard. You think you've got to hear the car. So I blew the horn and scared the crap out of her, and she deserved it anyway. They said, well, get out the bloody way. Cars go through here, not just people. And she was visibly annoyed that I brought it to attention that the world does not revolve around her.

Speaker 2:

I'm awfully sorry, it's the same thing when they walk in with the phone they're. It's the same thing when they walk in with the phone, they just go into it.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, well, that's what she was doing.

Speaker 2:

If I don't move out of the way of them, they get annoyed. Oh, they had to stop and look at the phone for two seconds to change direction and go this way. It's just a shame that you just can't walk straight and go. Hey, how are you doing, how are you? Beautiful day, Nice day. You know, it's like face straight down, face straight down. I get run into all the time if I don't say so. Sometimes I stick my arm out, stick my hand out and they'll just run into my hand. I'm just going talk to the hand, idiot, and they get pissed at me. I have to stop what I'm doing. I have to stop moving to wait for them to get the hell out of the way. I have no place to go. You know what?

Speaker 3:

My daughter had a friend come around to the house some years ago now and, um, there was like four of them in the kitchen and they're all sitting there chit-chatting, except for this one who's got a face in the phone right, and the others all knew me. This, this was a new character who I didn't know. So I walk in, I walk around, get a, you know, get a cup to make some coffee or something, and um, oh, why lie, it was a beer. But anyway, no, but seriously, folks, uh, I just I just thought this kid has not recognized me at all, so I just got my hand and just waved it in front of her phone and said excuse me, but it's really rude to stand in people's places and not say hello. And yes, I was told I was out of order and she said you're out of order.

Speaker 3:

Apparently, you walk into my house and you stick your face in your phone and you can't be bothered to introduce yourself. That might be old school or something, but I thought it was rude no, it is rude.

Speaker 2:

So hopefully that will change. They should have a place where you have to turn your phone off anyway. So we're just you know what. I'm sick of this shit. I'm sick of this shit.

Speaker 1:

I'm sick of this shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit shit.

Speaker 3:

I feel a jingle coming on.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you get that right. I'm sick of people who speak with an English accent. Oh, I'm sorry. Oh damn, I didn't mean that I'm really. I do say this is wrong, you bloody American. Now I'm really.

Speaker 3:

Now, now, now I do say this is wrong, this shit you bloody. American you, bloody fucking hell you. And.

Speaker 2:

Roger Galtry, I'm sick of.

Speaker 3:

Oh God, my wife's a bitch.

Speaker 2:

Of college. College protest Sick of college protest.

Speaker 1:

I'm sick of the shit, shit, shit, shit, shit shit.

Speaker 3:

They didn't write in the 60, except they used live ammunition.

Speaker 2:

Well, you know, in the 60s there was this one theme and it had to do with our country. They were protesting the war in Vietnam. You go up to any person at these college demonstrations. They were set up by outside people. They used to use college students to pull it off and you ask them what are you protesting? About 90% of them have no idea what they're doing. It's just a thing. You know, we were camping out, we're hanging out, we're in college, it's just a thing. And you know, be arrested. Oh cool, it's just a thing.

Speaker 3:

They really aren't into what's going on.

Speaker 2:

It's Even Jews are out there protesting. Are you kidding me? Jews, jews camping out. Are you serious yeah?

Speaker 3:

They're doing it, but listen, the reality is, yes, they were attacked and that was awful and drivel and everything. And Israel, not Jews. Israel had a right to fight back. Okay, overdone it completely. No country left now. How many kids have you needed to kill to make your point? They?

Speaker 2:

said all this was to stop tomorrow. It's going to take 16 to 20 years to rebuild what they've destroyed in the next four or five months, there's going to take 16 to 20 years to rebuild what they've destroyed in the last four or five months.

Speaker 3:

There's nothing left. Here's something about that.

Speaker 2:

You've got to understand. The college are protesting. They don't really give a crap about that. It's a thing to protest. And you know who's most upset about the college protesting right now? It's the frigging parents. They're going. Wait a minute. Your graduations are being canceled and postponed because they're taking over buildings and they can't do the ceremonies. Classes have been stopped, finals have been stopped. Parents are going. You know what? I paid a lot of money to send your ass to school and it's all being destroyed. I don't get to come watch you graduate. You know you're not finishing your finals, you know it's just you're kicked out.

Speaker 2:

They're getting pissed off at the protesters as well. Everyone's sick of the protesters.

Speaker 1:

I'm sick of the protesters.

Speaker 3:

I'm sick of the shit. Well, if they knew what they were protesting about and it was a real thing, yeah, I mean, but just to do it because it's cool, man, that's it. Maybe those people will get an education in there somewhere.

Speaker 2:

But you know, when I was in college I was that age, I was stupid young. You know what the hell are you doing, I mean? So I give a little leeway for age, you know, and just like hey it's a cool thing to do and stuff, but it's taking a little bit too far. You're taking over buildings, you're pitching tents outside and stuff.

Speaker 3:

It's a little bit much, okay, yeah but I mean I bet you, all of them go home Say it you sick of this shit, I'm sick of this shit.

Speaker 2:

See, you had to do it with the English accent. I'm sick of this shit. See, he has it with the English accent.

Speaker 3:

I'm sick of this shit. That's not English, that's Southern.

Speaker 2:

That's English Southern okay.

Speaker 3:

Southern English. I am sick of this shit.

Speaker 2:

I'm sick of this shit. Let's continue. I'm sick of this shit. High cost of food. Holy crap, I go there. I look at my buggy. The guy goes it's about $100. I'm looking at what I got today, like five things in there, I'm just going what?

Speaker 3:

Hey, last weekend did my shopping, got mine for about $70 because it's only me, although I've already run out Went to get the cats and dogs food $105.

Speaker 2:

That's the biggest part of my bill is my dogs. My dog foods are higher than the food I buy because I quit buying beef and stuff like that because it's too expensive. I'm doing the Mediterranean lifestyle because I'm not dieting. I'm just doing their lifestyle and buying their foods, which is a lot of vegetables, fruits and grains and stuff like that. That stuff's not expensive. It's a lot cheaper than buying the other stuff. You know what I mean? It's a big round beef, steak, chicken, all that. Just heck, screw it, just don't do it.

Speaker 2:

I buy some salmon. There's all kinds of different salmon you can buy. My food bills drop until I got to buy stuff for the dogs. It's like whoa. So I'm buying bargains for my puppies, but I see people just spending a lot of money at the grocery store. It's the same stuff we were buying three or four years ago, five years ago. They've shrunk the amount that we're getting in each thing and raised the price on it. So people say it's because they're trying to make up all the money they lost during COVID. Maybe that's it. I can see that makes sense.

Speaker 3:

They weren't producing anything. That's purely just a figure on a spreadsheet. Because people weren't buying, because people weren't going out. They in the end said why are we producing this? They weren't losing anything, really.

Speaker 2:

There was stuff that wasn't coming in. The docks were closed, the trucks weren't delivering stuff and they had a lot of stuff that they were stockpiling couldn't sell. So they say it's a COVID redo, let's make back the money we lost during those couple of years and then we'll level things out.

Speaker 1:

I don't know, I'm just thinking what we should do.

Speaker 2:

let's just you know, I really thought things out, I'm just thinking what we should do.

Speaker 3:

You know, I really thought, like our little show here, it's so positive.

Speaker 2:

It is positive. We get our finger on everyone's thinking about. These are things you see, and everyone sees it. I don't look at the college protests and I'm going whoa, whoop you. That makes you feel good. Am I overall happy? You can tell I'm generally a pretty upbeat, happy person and I am. These are just things that people, just some little minor shits people are sick of. You don't like my game.

Speaker 4:

Sick of this shit.

Speaker 3:

You're sick of my shit. You're sick of my shit.

Speaker 2:

We're probably sick of that shit.

Speaker 3:

Okay, it's okay, but I mean, you know, in the end it's like whining. I don't like you. I'll fucking get over it, man, that's what's happening. It happened in the 70s, it's happening again now. We're all still alive. So you know what it's called greed and inflation. And if you can't deal with it, well hey, it's always hard Some kind person will kick your cadaver into the garbage, if you're lucky.

Speaker 2:

There's a really happy thought. Well yeah, I thought so. Okay, one more thing. I'm thinking this shit. Not everyone will agree with this. You may, you may not. I put it this way, it's like hearing about this shit.

Speaker 3:

there's one word Trump oh well, now yes, trumpity, trump, trump, trump it's not whining.

Speaker 2:

I just would like to go one day in my life without seeing or reading or hearing about it.

Speaker 3:

I'm going to make sure that doesn't happen.

Speaker 2:

If I turned on the TV, well, if I said, let me catch the news, oh there he is Actually.

Speaker 3:

I've noticed that.

Speaker 2:

Look there it is.

Speaker 3:

I mean just, you know one day, unless you're watching Fox now. It's kind of like second or third segment, which is good. That means that he's dropped way down there. It's like, oh yeah, and Trump's doing his shit.

Speaker 2:

I way down there it's like oh yeah, trump's doing his shit, I think, because he's in trial. That's not really. I guess that's really the only reason they're covering it that much he's going to lose. The protest is getting more press than his trial is, so hey.

Speaker 3:

One and two. Right now we don't care anymore. We never really did, but more people are starting not to care anymore.

Speaker 2:

We'll keep protesting and we'll keep this story on the bottom, but you know there's no cameras allowed in there, so they can't really broadcast from there. So it's just like they report at the end of the day. Here's what happened. Here's who testified, that type of thing.

Speaker 3:

It's interesting and I'm sure every little cub reporter is going. Let me in, let me in it's history and I'm sure every little cub reporter is going, let me in, let me in it's history, yeah well.

Speaker 2:

This is what's going on. The trial that's going on is the least important one of all the ones upcoming. The other ones are the biggies. This is the baby and the biggies. They're not going to happen before November. We all know he's running for president, so he can pardon himself. Make all these things go away by the Supreme Court delaying their decision on things. It's going to push back enough time and when they try to reschedule these trial dates, it'll be after November. Now, of course, if he doesn't win please don't win, you know, then the trial will go on in the schedule and we can just watch him being hauled off with his hands behind his back.

Speaker 3:

We can just watch him being hauled off with his hands behind his back. That'll be fun. I think they should make that a national day of happy protest.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I know people don't like the choices that we have, but when it comes to November they'll have to make that choice. If you really don't like either one and want somebody different, then go Robert Kennedy Jr. Then I mean, he's got some, he's got some.

Speaker 1:

He's not a good idea.

Speaker 2:

Well, that's what I mean. People look at the choices that you have and when it comes in, when the push comes to shove. I guess I'm pretty sure you didn't get a choice you didn't get a choice.

Speaker 3:

He didn't get a choice.

Speaker 2:

I don't want four years of grief and him retaliating stuff and you know all that stress coming back. I mean he wants. The first thing he wants to do is the largest deportation in history. As you know, we are a country made up of immigrants okay, we weren't here first Indians were. We ramshacked them and kicked them out. So we're made up of Englishmen, italians, spaniards, eastern Europeans, Africans, everybody and he wants to deport 11 million deportees and send them all back.

Speaker 3:

What would happen if that 11 million all got together and said uh-uh, just a thought, you know?

Speaker 2:

Those 11 million can vote. That's a big number.

Speaker 3:

I bet a lot of them can. Oh, the big thing here, get this. This is wonderful, typical South Carolina. All right, so you know, when you go to get your driver's license, you nearly always get a voter registration form with it. Yes, you do, yes, you do, okay. Well, now the Republicans here are really concerned that maybe some undocumented aliens or other people like myself on the green card are getting hold of this really important piece of paper. I get one in the mail.

Speaker 3:

Every time I mess with my license, I have to go through the same. No, I'm sorry, I don't need this. Oh, are you a felon? No, go fuck yourself Bye, I can register. Then I go to jail. So I mean, can you believe that? He's like, oh, we've got to make a law here. No, we don't Just. It's like, oh, we've got to make a law here. No, we don't Just realize what the reality is.

Speaker 2:

You vote, do you not?

Speaker 3:

No, I can't, you can't vote.

Speaker 2:

You're still not an American citizen.

Speaker 3:

No, I'm not an American citizen and I won't be until the year. How long?

Speaker 2:

have you been in this country for 42 years? You freaking freeloader.

Speaker 3:

I pay my taxes, pay your taxes. I tell you what my whole thing, my whole thing about this, was the Electoral College. When I found out about it, which was many, many years ago, most people go what? It's quite hip now, as I told the immigration guy at Las Vegas McCarran, as it was then said same thing Well, hell, you've been here long enough. Why aren't you a citizen? You get rid of this. What do I get out of it? One thing a vote. Is that vote worth anything? Not really. With the Electoral College, it never is. It's not one man, one vote, and that's how it should be. And once you do that, then maybe I'll become a citizen.

Speaker 2:

It sounds like you're sick of this shit, see there. Yeah, give me a hard time going.

Speaker 3:

oh I'm sick of this shit, Liz.

Speaker 2:

It's not a wine. These are things that are on our minds at the current moment. We're sick of this shit and these things. We can make better by talking about it. Because we're sick of this shit.

Speaker 3:

So get rid of the Electoral College, which nearly happened.

Speaker 2:

It just makes sense. You vote, so your vote counts. The guy with the most votes wins.

Speaker 3:

Simple as that Period. End of story. There's all this other bullshit and caucuses and garbage it's garbage, it's over.

Speaker 2:

The guy who gets the most votes always wins the guy who's got the most money.

Speaker 3:

That's what it's all about.

Speaker 2:

Hillary Clinton won by over 3 million votes but she lost really close. She lost on the Electoral College thing. Al Gore should have been president but just barely squeaked the lawsuit to George W Bush because of the Electoral College, electoral college thing. Al Gore should have been president. But you know what this barely squeaked a lawsuit to George W Bush because of the electoral college.

Speaker 3:

So those people changed the whole thing, that's the hanging chads, wasn't it?

Speaker 2:

with him, that's right.

Speaker 3:

But I mean that's the whole point. I mean where's the point in going through all that so you can vote and your vote doesn't go anywhere? It just feels I think my point was proved very well in the last election. Frankly, I don't really think, you know. I mean I find it hard to believe.

Speaker 2:

Biden won by a million votes and also won the Electoral College, and he won them both.

Speaker 3:

So all the people in Chicago can vote and it'll affect my vote. It's the other way around and that's wrong.

Speaker 2:

Well, I just it feels good to vote, I just enjoy it.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I would too, but why Don't forget, it costs a lot of money to become a citizen, A lot.

Speaker 2:

I was born here. How does it cost a lot of money.

Speaker 3:

Oh well, you've got to get the forms, you have to have the interviews, you have to go and have a medical, what do you call it? And then the fee to go with that particular form is I think it's well, the last time I checked it was about $750.

Speaker 2:

I think you're scared. You're going to fail the test.

Speaker 3:

They won't give me a test. They told me no, they won't. He said someone who's been here as long as you. We just kind of move you along.

Speaker 2:

Oh, so you don't have to take the test. Answer questions about the Constitution, things like that, no.

Speaker 3:

After I got my green card I said that's it. I'm not applying or giving the government any more money for things that I really don't need and I really, you know I don't need it. I'm sorry so I don't like it there, american boy.

Speaker 2:

Sounds to me like you're sick of this shit. Yeah, shit. I told you it's a good fun category today and I can't wait to hear the jingle. I'm sick of this shit.

Speaker 3:

Do, do, do sick of this shit. I don't even know how to do it for you, but I'll find somebody, Maybe the dog or the cat.

Speaker 2:

That could be a new country song. That would be I'm sick of this shit, I'm sick of this shit, I'm sick of this shit.

Speaker 3:

There you go hey man, do it, you can do it, I know you can. Oh yeah, I'm not particularly. I didn't get the music gene. Everybody else in my family did but me.

Speaker 2:

I didn't get it as far as singing or playing an instrument, or both, both, both.

Speaker 3:

I tried.

Speaker 2:

I was a drummer. I played drums for a long time. That was great Yep. That led me into music altogether. I just got into music, played music. You know, always tinkered with music, so it led to radio and I do a podcast I found it.

Speaker 3:

I was like who's led to this? Fuck, are you depressed? I don't know. Are you depressed?

Speaker 2:

I don't know what are you depressed for?

Speaker 3:

Oh, poor little podcast.

Speaker 2:

You have a mental health issue, holy shit.

Speaker 3:

Hey, listen, ladies and germs out there, you know. If you've been wondering where we've been, we've just been having technical difficulties. That's all I can say.

Speaker 4:

Yes, we have been having technical difficulties.

Speaker 3:

That's all I can say. Yes, we have Not all my fault.

Speaker 4:

Nobody said it.

Speaker 3:

But we really have had, and if this one sounds a little funky, I'm out of suggestions at this point. But anyway, either that or buy a house down the road from Bailey, and I just don't think I can do that right now.

Speaker 2:

I forgot to ask you on last week's show. Did you post that show?

Speaker 3:

Probably, oh I don't know. Oh God, I hope you did, it was fun.

Speaker 2:

It was fun man. I can't remember. What do we do? That's part of the intrigue and the interest in the Kristin Costello thing is that the technical quality is pure crap and then you want to hear what's going to happen. What's going to be wrong with it this week. Is it going to echo? Am I going to be fading out? You know I don't think so.

Speaker 3:

I really believe that this might actually be a good sounding one and of course you know I'm going to go back and edit it and put music and things in where music is needed Not that often we do that.

Speaker 2:

That's what we do in this podcast, so I hope you freaking enjoy it, okay, this?

Speaker 3:

is the last one, you mofo.

Speaker 2:

Doing the same show four times in a row. Okay, oh God.

Speaker 3:

You know it is, isn't it? Oh yeah, Well, that's okay, we just grin and move on. And then when we're sitting on the couch next to Johnny Carson, it'll mean that we both die, Damn. But we do have time to sit there with whoever the night show guys are these days and go, yeah.

Speaker 1:

I remember when.

Speaker 2:

We just enjoy doing our podcasts, it's fun doing our show. We enjoy getting emails from all over the world and we appreciate that. Keep the emails coming.

Speaker 3:

We do have emails, we do.

Speaker 2:

I don't have them. Questions are good. Ask a question.

Speaker 3:

Well, listen, I'll tell you what. If you'd like to send us an email, it will be at chrisandcostello, at yahoocom. Yahoo.

Speaker 2:

Yahoo, remember they used to do that. I remember yesterday was fun. It's not very often in a race that big you have a photo finish. I mean there's three horses right there, neck and neck, oh yeah. And my horse. I kept saying because I saw that he was one of the top three fastest horses. For some reason I was picking him, you know, and I picked that. You know that Dan, my Dan horse, he was 18 to 1, man.

Speaker 2:

And I picked him to win straight up and my trifecta was Dan and the two other horses that came in second and third, so I got to try to pick them up and the winner. So thank you very much. That's why I'm so damn happy today, okay.

Speaker 3:

You're the man, oh, so you're going to buy yourself that new microphone and maybe a board to go with it?

Speaker 2:

That's what I want to spend my meager winnings on is buy myself a new microphone.

Speaker 3:

Mega. I think it's a little less than mega. Is this one okay?

Speaker 2:

Is. Is that hurt?

Speaker 3:

Yes, oh God, We've still got the video going so I can see video. And it's horrible of me, Bailey, I'm used to Me, I'm not. It's like, oh, it's like shaving. I actually shaved in the other day.

Speaker 2:

We're in a weird mood because we just because for future YouTube episodes we're now doing video along with the audio, and for some reason Costello just cannot relax when video is on. You should just make your. You know we record it, but just don't look at it. Turn to the other, you don't look.

Speaker 3:

It's a little hard to do. I mean, yeah, I know I try not to look at it, but you know, it's really fun to look at and see that you're reacting to something like four seconds ago in video, so it's like this is really great, I will say that. I think, though, that once everything is downloaded, it'll sync itself up and everything, so it should be all right, and then we're going to be all over TikTok, aren't we?

Speaker 2:

Yes, we are TikTok. We've got YouTube, and so, instead of just listening to the Chris and Costello experience, you actually get to look at us as well too, and look how miserable Costello is because he's on video. I will tell you this Since we started doing video, you, sir, have been totally different. You're more reserved. You, sir, have been totally different. You're more reserved. You're not laughing as much as you are. You don't go lucky, you're too freaked out, you're thinking video.

Speaker 2:

You are not the same, costello. I'm going to go out there. Oh God, again, we want Costello back. We want Costello back.

Speaker 3:

We want Costello back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure that. And baby back ribs. I know you know what I mean. This seriously about wraps everything up for today, I think. Doesn't it Pretty darn close? It's good.

Speaker 1:

I'm just going to.

Speaker 2:

Somebody's going to just want to stop the freaking video.

Speaker 3:

Let's just wrap this thing up, okay yeah, I'm just not into the video part. I'll get used to it just do this.

Speaker 2:

Can't see me? Can't see me, make yourself disappear, just do this can't see me.

Speaker 3:

I'll put the bag over my head again. Well, that was fun you're squealing.

Speaker 2:

now Is your bag handy?

Speaker 3:

Unfortunately not now. I rather wish it was. It'd be a fun thing I should get one for. I'll go to Trader Joe's tomorrow.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 3:

So we'll have a bag the next week. So that'll be it. I'll just put the bag on my head at the end.

Speaker 2:

There we go. Okay, having fun. Who are we squealing over this week? Who are we squealing? Who are we squealing? Who are we squealing over?

Speaker 3:

who so many people Gosh? Who do we really well?

Speaker 2:

I can tell you who. We didn't bring her up. It's the puppy killer.

Speaker 3:

Oh, I don't know that story. We'll save that for next week.

Speaker 2:

She was the front runner to be Trump's vice presidential running mate.

Speaker 2:

And so she gave some excerpts from her new book coming out, where she just couldn't train her puppy and she was only 14 months old. So she took him out to the gravel pit and shot him. So you can imagine even people on the conservative side went that ain't right, you kill a little puppy because you can't train it. So someone had the best line you can't train your puppy, you don't kill it, you give it to Biden. He can go with his dog at the White House and bite people Do it that way. Then she talked about killing a goat as well too. She can't manage all these animals that she likes. She just takes them out back and shoots them.

Speaker 3:

Oh God, well, we could do that with human beings. It might not be such a bad idea, but animals are different, you know, yep. Anyway, on that note, I guess we'll run it.

Speaker 2:

Running mate now is like zero, but says she shoots innocent dogs and other farm animals. Lady bend, over, here you go, take your medicine, squeal.

Speaker 3:

That's an entertainment. This is extra, extra for Herman. Extra, that's what I said.

Speaker 2:

Right up the old gully there for that puppy. There we go squeal it get in there doggy style. That's it, last word of the week is doggy style. Gotta get down that way that bridge is down just there. Yeah, the bridge is down Just there.
