Transcript

Hey, Abbott, what time is it? It's time for the Evan Costello Show. We're on the air for ABC here in Hollywood. Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go with the Evan Costello Show. It's the Evan and Costello Show, produced and transcribed in Hollywood tonight for your listening pleasure with Susan Miller and the music of Matty Malley.

Hold on to your chairs, folks. For here they are, but Evan and Luke Costello. Here I am, Costello. Tell me, where have you been? I went over to Chionco Mike. He's been in a hospital for the last 10 days, and Abbott.

He's got a nurse with a beautiful blonde hair, Blue eyes and the most gorgeous figure. I've been to the hospital every day. How is Uncle Mike? I don't know. I'm going to see him tomorrow.

How can you be such a colossal idiot? On this show, we only want the best. Oh. My grandfather's in the hospital too, Abbott. He's 105 years old. He is? Yes, the nurse feeds them bourbon for breakfast, bourbon for lunch, and bourbon for dinner.

Chaser? Yes, but at his age, he's too old to catch her. Oh. That's the first one. When are you going to stop being an idiot and start amening to something? Oh, I think starting tomorrow, I'm gonna train to fight Joe Walcott.

Walcott. Don't make me laugh, Joe. Walcott has muscles. I got muscles. Walcott's got stamina. I got stamina. Walcott's got six kids. I got muscles. nonsense. Why don't you save your money and get into the stock market?

Did you ever buy grain in New Yorker, sell barley in Chicago? No, but I showed some wild oats in Glendale. I said, I think you'll be alone for all your life. Nobody would hire you.
