The Captain and Casey have been on FUEL TV since the channel started in 2003, and over the last three years, their show, “The Captain And Casey Show” has become one of the most popular on the channel thanks to the duo turning what looks like a very low-budget studio set into an roller derby track, a Mexican wrestling ring, and hosting a toga party, among other things.
The Captain (Jeff Carlson) and Chris Casey grew up together in St. Louis and have known each other for years. Whether they’re on screen or not, the duo banter back and forth constantly, cracking inside jokes, making references to things that only they and their close friends would get, and pretty much have a great time all the time.
The Captain and Casey recently sat down with us (only after we offered them a few beers) and discussed the upcoming season of “The Captain And Casey Show” on FUEL TV. Here’s what they had to say:
What are some of the highlights of the new season?
Casey: The day that the Captain had diarrhea and he was hung up by the harness.
Captain: I didn’t have diarrhea. I was just hung over.
Casey: We also got to cover the entire set in snow for the first time ever! Then there was the time that we had a sand box built in the studio and we had more people than ever on the set. It was very hectic!
Captain: It was for the guys from Sugar Skateboards. They like ollieing over sand gaps in Santa Monica, so we wanted to make them feel at home.
Casey: But Marco (Jazbinsek, Sugar Skateboards owner) didn’t bring his bangy bong. We were bummed.
Captain: Another highlight is we got a new couch for the set.
Casey: How’s that feel? I never get to sit on it. I’m always behind the desk playing with Keggy, running the trains, and keeping stuff going.
Captain: It’s really comfortable.
Casey: There’s also lots of good skating this season.
Captain: They let us out of the studio a lot more.
Casey: To all the readers, if you’re lucky, we’ll be coming to your town soon!
What about some of the guests who will be on the show this season?
Casey: Rob Dyrdek is on this season, and you get to see a trailer of his new movie with P. Rod called “Street Dreams.”
Casey, at the beginning of every show, you’re in bed with two girls. Tell us about that night?
Casey: Well, maybe we smoked the cigarettes you see in the background, and maybe we drank the alcohol you see in the room. I can tell you I’ve passed out on plenty of women in my time. The funny thing was the motel owner thought we were filming a porno in there. Maybe we were …
Captain: Here’s an interesting fact: The driver of the limo in the show’s intro is actually Justin Bokma. He used to be a pro for Balance Skateboards.
So Captain, are you actually a “captain” of anything?
Captain: Of fun! I think everyone is the captain of their own ship.
Casey: He actually does have his boat license!
Captain: I’m into making beer right now. I’ve also started a club called the California Leisure Activities Club—CLAC. You can try to join if you want. We’re into leisure activities like hammocks, yatching, bbqs, archery, badminton, and I just started getting into guns.
Casey: Yeah, let’s go to the gun range and shoot some stuff!
Now that you guys are big TV stars, do you get recognized a lot?
Casey: If we’re together, we get recognized all the time.
Captain: I went to rent a boat, and the guy who was cleaning the boat looked at me and said: “I thought the Captain would have a bigger boat.” And I didn’t know what he was talking about. But then he said he was a big fan of the show. So that’s the kind of person who watches the show--guys who clean out the toilets in boats!
Anything else you guys want to mention?
Casey: We’re always auditioning for new cocktail waitresses on the show. If you’re a good looking girl and you want to be on our show, e-mail us a picture at: info@remotecontrolmonkey.tv.
Look for the new season of “The Captain And Casey Show” on FUEL TV beginning May 20, 2007. Original episodes premiere on Sunday nights at 8:00 pm ET/PT during the “Stacked Sundays” programming block and re-air several times throughout the week.
