This Is Why Radio Is A Dying Medium

Host: So Madonna is meeting with film executives: she wants to re-make the movie Casablanca [pronounced "cassa-blankuh"].

Dude: Oh God, no!

Host: Yeah, except she wants to place the movie in a modern war zone. Iraq.

Gal: I hate Madonna. She is, like, you know, so self-involved.

Dude: Where was the movie set originally?

Host: Uh, Casablanca. Cassa-blankuh

Gal: That's why I never saw Evita!

Dude: Oh.

Dude: Uh, where is Casablanca?

Host: Oh Casablanca Cassa-blankuh that's, like, Europe.

Dude: Europe?

Gal: Oh I loved that movie, but it's been, like, so long since I've seen it...

Host: Yeah. It's not Spain... Uh-

Sounds like a seafood restaurant down by Ocean City
