A Charlottesville, Virginia, woman says her husband, a New Yorker, makes fun of her for using the expression might could, as in, "We might could go to dinner later." The hosts talk about this and other double modals. Incidentally, here's the funny clip Martha mentions featuring Rosemary Clooney and Marlene Dietrich singing "Too Old to Cut the Mustard." This is part of a complete episode.
