Hi There, welcome to Burgs and Youngy on Smooth Banter Radio. A fresh sound to ASF. Broadcasting live from Venezuela, the dominant force in the contest for Miss World and Miss Universe contestants. Life is too short to be uptight on such matters.

We aim to please no-one except ourselves or add any value whatsoever. If you should wish to join us on this noble cause, just drop in. Alternatively, we could do with some additional sponsorship. We'll take anything.

Hola!

Now, it's my pleasure to hand it to my friend and partner in crime, Burgs, to select our opening song on Radio Sooth Banter.
 
Hi Youngy,

Don't you look lovely in that evening dress!!
Did you stay out all night?

A few too many Margaritas?

Hmm.

My Favourite song:

Wow. Very touching opening sequence there. Love it.

I need to grow my hair longer so I can swing it around and headbang like those cellists. What happened to you taste saver mate? You had one last year... And...if that couple just wanted to get on my boat, all they needed to do was call on the sat-phone. No need to send little boats out. We could have just picked them up.

Do you like my dress? The backless plunging neckline thing goes well with me, yeah?

Why the dress? You know I like numbers right? I started the night in a tux, but wasn't getting anywhere. So, I thought I'd increase my chances you know. I got lucky. Not with a bloke. Hopefully, you do well on the prowl tonight mate.

Ok, let's add to our playlist on Radio Smooth Banter. Given we're on a string theme, let's keep it going with more long haired head bangers and Lead Zeppelin.

Alright....let's throw it open to our audience. Seems like we have a few browsers already. Welcome!

Drop us a line if you've been to this wonderful country. What happened? Who were you with?
 
Hola Burgs and ASF listeners

Ahhhhh. Margarita Island. Yeah, wonderful memories. Diamond blue tropical waters, pristine beach sand.

I haven't read that piece on Chaves yet. The guy chose to die with his boots on. That's a strong identity he forged for himself. Quite a legendary way to go out. Anyhow, the article was in Economist-ese and I can't read that language. I need to send it to our translators and I'll take a look at it when it comes back. Did you learn Economist-ese as a second language at school, or is it your native tongue?

I caught a show tonight. A group of old buddies from high school got together to see Monty Python live (almost) in Venezuela. Really long show. I think it got canned by one of the British papers for something as Cleese improved a sketch to slam them back. Anyway, for fans of Monty Python crew, it was a great way for them to go out too. Grabbed a Venezuelan pizza with the lot for a filler.

Here's the final act of the show to close out my session on this, the first day of Radio Smooth Banter.

In these difficult times of violent disagreement and wobbly markets, it might help to.....

Hola Youngy,

Yes.
Isla Margarita, as we say here in Venezuela!

Your favourite beaches too?

The sun on your faces, the sand between your toes!
Nothing compares!

Don't know why, I am suddenly reminded of my song, favorito!


Adiós Señor
 
@Listeners, thank you for your contributors!

Señor Youngy,
Part of me is still laffin'.
What is your pleasure?
 


Ahhhh, Sinaed. Love your musical taste Burgs. Each selection is spine tingling and somewhat haunting - but not in a creepy way. I never really imagined that a young lass with such closely cropped hair could be beautiful. The Buddhist monks shave their heads to eschew beauty in search of things more meaningful. I guess Sinaed has found a way to blow that theory away. Not the first time that's happened. Such a great voice.

Welcome Radio Smooth Banter readers! Wilcommen...Willkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome !!!

Looking out the window of our studio here in Caracas, it's lucky we have soundproof glass. It's a steamy 21 degrees and bucketing down. Thunderstorms.

The outlook for the next few days is about the same before picking up to 26 degrees on Sunday. Rain will still be expected.

Over to you, Burgs for the traffic report.


After that we'd like to do a live crossing to one of our listeners currently at the National Pantheon of Venezuela to report on a joint effort between the ice-cream vendors and the hot-dog vendors to create a new confection consisting of a Neapolitan ice cream in the shape of a sausage being placed in a foot long white bread bun. We have never seen such innovation since the tech/tea-leaf boom. It is disruptive and could turn the restaurant industry on its head. Very exciting.

Months of union negotiations have boiled down to this point, but negotiations have stalled at the point of whether to call the merged guild the Dog-Ice Collective or Ice-Dog Collective. Things are tense.

Give us a call if you are at the Pantheon! Fill us all in on this piece of breaking news!

Hola!
 
Hola Burgs and Youngy! Buenas noches compadres

Doing a quick Google Fu of Parthenon, revealed the Parthenon in Nashville which led to Live music tonight which led to Miley Cyrus and her Bangerz tour (I like Miley) playing at the Bridgestone Arena, 7th Aug 2014. Go figure...

Anyhow, as this is essentially a money forum I thought I'd go with that theme and hence, these two classics:
Dire Straits and Money for Nothing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTP2RUD_cL0

...and where there's money there's the Taxman.
