CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: The Rolling Stones 40th anniversary tour and some new technology for college kids are the "Talk of CNN" this morning.
Randy and Spiff, the guys at Atlanta's Fox 97.1, give us their take on these stories. They're live on the line with us right now.
Hi, guys.
SPIFF CARNER, ATLANTA'S FOX 97.1: Hey, how you doing, Carol?
RANDY COOK, ATLANTA'S FOX 97.1: Good morning.
COSTELLO: Oh the Rolling Stones.
CARNER: Boy, yes, I know. The 40th anniversary tour, they're off and at it again. Unbelievable, isn't it? I mean these guys...
COSTELLO: Why do you say unbelievable?
CARNER: Unbelievable, I mean how long have these -- these guys have been longer than I have been around. I mean these guys...
COOK: And that's long.
CARNER: And that's a long time.
COOK: That's a long time. The losing hair Medicare tour.
CARNER: Yes.
COSTELLO: Have you guys seen a concert yet?
CARNER: I have not seen one of their new ones. I've gone to see the Stones several times. But we have them coming in Atlanta in October.
COOK: That's right.
CARNER: And we're going to be going to the -- to that one.
COOK: We're giving away lots of tickets. We're all going to be there.
CARNER: Exactly.
COSTELLO: Are you saying that they should wrap it up because they're too old to perform?
CARNER: Well I don't know. There's just a -- there's a few signs that maybe they're too old. I mean they open with the song "Hey, Hey, You, You, Get Off of My Lawn."
(LAUGHTER)
CARNER: I mean you know right away that perhaps, you know. I mean when they sing "Time Is On My Side," everyone starts laughing. This is...
(LAUGHTER)
CHAD MYERS, CNN METEOROLOGIST: ... side.
CARNER: This is not...
COSTELLO: How old is Mick Jagger? Is he like 58 or something?
COOK: Fifty-eight, yes.
CARNER: He's 58.
COOK: But Keith Richards, if he would just lay down, I know that they would find that he's been dead for a few years.
CARNER: You know the only thing they inject into Keith Richards' arm anymore is Vitamin B12. It's just unbelievable.
COSTELLO: You know in fairness, guys, they put on a great show...
CARNER: They do.
COSTELLO: ... and they always have. That's where they make all their money, not from record sales but from the concerts.
CARNER: And...
COOK: That's the case with most people.
CARNER: Yes, they -- and I tell you what, they do put on a fantastic show. So if you get a chance if they come to your area, definitely go see them.
COSTELLO: Yes, and just remember, you're going to grow old one day.
CARNER: What do you mean?
COSTELLO: People are going to say nasty things about you one day.
CARNER: Quite a bit.
COOK: Already going on, Carol.
CARNER: Oh, that started years ago. We're just trying to get even.
COSTELLO: Yes.
Hey, let's talk about this new technology that keeps college kids from bringing their dirty laundry home to mom.
COOK: Yes, we're about a month away -- we're about a month out from college starting and that's going to start happening all over the place, a big pile of laundry coming home with the kid.
CARNER: And IBM and USA Technologies, they got together, they have these washing machines. They're putting 9,000 of them in colleges. And basically the kids -- you know you swipe your credit card on it, you go back to your room, you hook up your computer, it tells you everything. You've got your desktop, your laptop there, it tells you when to dispense the detergent in there. When it's done, it'll actual e-mail you so you can go down and get your laundry.
COSTELLO: You've got to be kidding.
COOK: No.
CARNER: No. Did they have that when you were in college?
COSTELLO: No, I had to trudge down to the laundry room in my dorm.
COOK: That's right, and you had to have all that change with you. And it was also a great place to go down there and pick up members of the opposite sex, but no more.
CARNER: You can't do that.
COSTELLO: Oh darn, another opportunity lost for those...
COOK (?): Gone.
COSTELLO: ... poor college kids.
Randy and Spiff, thank you for joining us this morning. You're fun as usual.
CARNER: Well you too.
COOK: Thank you.
CARNER: Thanks -- Carol.
COSTELLO: Oh hey, wait,...
CARNER: What?
COSTELLO: ... before you go,...
CARNER: OK.
COOK: Uh-oh.
COSTELLO: ... we've got baby pictures.
COOK: Oh no!
CARNER: Oh no!
MYERS: Uh-oh!
CARNER: Oh no, you're not...
COSTELLO: Yes, Tuesday Chad and I were showing our baby pictures...
CARNER: Yes, you were.
COSTELLO: ... and we decided to be mean to you. Which one is this? This is Randy.
CARNER: OK, let's...
COOK: Oh boy!
CARNER: Oh no!
COOK: See this is the same thing, my other -- my other picture was one just like Miss North Carolina, so that's why...
CARNER: Hey, Randy's not wearing pants in this, by the way.
COSTELLO: Oh my goodness!
CARNER: You can't -- you can't tell, but he's not.
MYERS: Looks like he's at an anchor desk.
(LAUGHTER)
COSTELLO: My goodness! Let's take a look at Spiff.
CARNER: OK.
COSTELLO: Was your name Spiff when you were this age?
COOK: Little Spiffy I think is what they called him.
CARNER: Little Spiffy they called.
COSTELLO: Little Spiff.
CARNER: Look, my mouth was even open then.
COSTELLO: Oh well that...
CARNER: It matches my photo now -- incredible. And I think I had wet my pants is why I had crossed my legs there.
COSTELLO: I'm sure you had. And I'm sure you're doing that right now.
(LAUGHTER)
COSTELLO: Randy and Spiff, thank you.
CARNER: I've got Depends on, OK. It happens.
COSTELLO: Randy and Spiff, thank you for joining us this morning.
MYERS (?): Goodbye.
COSTELLO: They always get me in trouble -- Chad.
MYERS: Yes, well, you do it on your own.
COSTELLO: It's a given. I know. What am I talking about?
