You like your childhood, are now

15
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:16.879
Eighties radio and this is to Skano
and Chang coming out to you, live

16
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:22.520
and in color. That's right.
This is the show that introduces the eighties

17
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:27.520
to a whole new generation by sharing
the memories and experiences that made the eighties

18
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.599
the best decade ever. So welcome
to the beginning of what was to be

19
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:37.800
known as the Decade of Decadence.
With me as he is every single Friday.

20
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:43.520
Is a man that has sparred with
Chuck Norris and has lived to tell

21
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.199
the tale. He is a man
who's given some of his hair to the

22
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:52.960
Smithsonian Museum to be on display as
the ninth Wonder of the World. We

23
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:58.479
hear Back to the Eighties call him
the Chang Chang. How the heck are

24
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:00.400
you? Man, boys and world
ladies and gentlemen out there? We want

25
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:07.840
to welcome you to another rendition of
the No Fraud podcast Here at Back to

26
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:14.400
the Eighties Today, Tuscatto and I
have decided to embark upon the year of

27
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:19.960
nineteen eighty and we both felt it
was very fitting for the time that we

28
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:24.520
are seeing in society and an American
history today. Nineteen eighty brought in a

29
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:30.800
transition of change, a new president, a new outlook, different views.

30
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:37.960
The world was starting to turn a
little bit chaotic, but yet stayed somewhat

31
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:43.120
balanced. So what other better time
to discuss nineteen eighty a time of change

32
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:50.360
for all as we sit upon a
historical event here in the United States where

33
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:53.919
we go through the transition of presidents. Now, this has not been friendly,

34
00:03:53.960 --> 00:04:00.919
This has not been cordial. This
has been outright hate and game on

35
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:06.000
my fellow countrymen and my partner that
sits beside me. So tonight we're going

36
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:10.000
to talk about the eighties. We're
gonna give you some of the bad stuff,

37
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:14.199
some of the good stuff, and
stuff maybe you forgot because you're too

38
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:18.160
old or you were too high in
the eighties. With that tuscannem The very

39
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:24.959
first fun fact that I'm going to
bring to the table this year nineteen eighty

40
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:31.480
it was May eighteenth, Mount Saint
Helens erupted in Washington, killing fifty seven

41
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:36.560
people. Where were you when that
happened? What did you think about that?

42
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:40.720
When you saw that you were I
know you were a kid, but

43
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:44.480
it had to have an effect on
you. I was scared. I was

44
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:46.560
scared because I did see the news. I just didn't realize that it was

45
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:50.279
so far away from southern California.
But I was scared for other people as

46
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:55.319
well, and my mom. I
remember my mom and dad used to say,

47
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:59.160
you know that nothing was going to
happen in southern California, but that

48
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:02.680
our prayers and our thoughts should be
with those people that lost loved ones and

49
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:08.120
things like that. It was something
from from a scary movie for the people

50
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:14.240
who lived through it. I remember
every single channel, every news agency would

51
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:18.480
show all the devastating pictures and it
you know what it left behind. It

52
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:24.000
was something from out of a scary
movie. Man, agree with you.

53
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:30.399
I remember watching the news and watching
as it was smoking and the ash that

54
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.120
was pouring out, and before the
eruption, I mean, I mean,

55
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:38.639
dude, it looked like ten buildings
were on fire because that smoke which was

56
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:42.560
rising and rising and rising, and
then when it finally Yeah, did you

57
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:46.759
know that the smoke, the actual
ashes, they went up ten miles into

58
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:51.319
the air. Yes, I'm pretty
sure that some parts of California had ash

59
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:57.720
falling. There was some states that
were getting a lot of the ash debris

60
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:02.079
that was getting pushed into their guys
over different states because it was such a

61
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:09.720
magnitude eruption. I remember the very
first visual pictures that I saw where you

62
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:15.000
know, it's just coming down the
volcano side and it's got that orange yellow

63
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:20.600
glow with black and brown bubbling from
the ground. It. It reminded me

64
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:25.639
of Hell. Yeah, and uh, because I've always thought that's what hell

65
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:29.959
would look like. The day that
I had to go there, I was

66
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.120
gonna say, when was the last
time you were there? Who? Man,

67
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:38.079
I'll tell you man, speaking about
going to hell, there's a whole

68
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:42.759
lot of people here in America right
now this time, uh, in our

69
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:47.079
political history that are being set up
and we'll be going to hell. And

70
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.319
we don't need to get into any
name. Oh yeah, don't get us

71
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:56.800
started with that. That is for
a that is definitely a topic for a

72
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:01.399
more modern show. Yes, yeah, to Tuscano and Chang, when we

73
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:05.639
decide to embark upon bringing out to
Uskano and Chang our original, not our

74
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:10.839
original, but one of our grade
shows where we had some good success with.

75
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:15.319
That's a topic for that today.
Let's just keep it happy, keep

76
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:18.439
it lights, keep it in the
eighties. Nineteen eighty How old were you

77
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:21.879
in nineteen eighty Let me get that
out of the way. How old was

78
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:27.759
the Tusky man? I was eight
years old, nineteen eighty, eight years

79
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:30.720
old. You gotta remember I was
born in nineteen seventy two, so I

80
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:34.680
was barely a young in man nine, you know. Nineteen eighty I was

81
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:43.319
in elementary school, and I will
never forget. I believe in third grade,

82
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:45.759
I want to say, maybe third
grade. Now, did you have

83
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:49.199
to draw a picture of the volcano? You know what? No, we

84
00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:54.480
had to write letters to kids in
schools. I don't know if you ever

85
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:57.399
heard of kids doing that in schools, but yeah, we had to write

86
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:00.639
letters to like pen pals, you
know, two kids from their schools and

87
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:03.319
ask them how they're doing and things
like that. Yeah, I remember that

88
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.959
time very very well. You bring
up pen peals and stuff like that.

89
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:11.439
That was so eighties. I mean, how many how many times do we

90
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:13.759
do your kids come home and say, hey, Dad, hey pops,

91
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:16.560
check it out. I got a
pen peal? What a pen pal?

92
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:20.959
Who needs pen pills? With technology? My brother? With technology, they

93
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:26.480
already have people that they talked to
from all over the world through their video

94
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:30.560
games, and yeah, dude,
that's that's that's that's modern day. But

95
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.480
it was. It was an awesome
feeling having a penpell. Do you remember

96
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:37.519
you write to somebody you didn't know, and you correspond back and forth,

97
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:45.159
and sometimes you even establish a relationship
with that person. Sometimes you you never

98
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:48.440
you never hear about from them again. But it was just an interesting and

99
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.759
fun thing that we used to do, you know. And uh yeah,

100
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:54.440
long live the eighties for that.
Oh yeah, dude, pen Pell,

101
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.840
those were the days back in the
eighties. Keep going, Keep going.

102
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:03.080
January twentieth Super Bowl, the Pittsburgh
Steelers became the first NFL franchise to win

103
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:09.759
four Super Bowls, defeating our favorite
Los Angeles Rams thirty one to nineteen at

104
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:15.720
the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. Oh I remember that, just like

105
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:20.799
as let me let me show you
take you around the Chang too. Yeah.

106
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.399
By the way, Chang is now
moving the camera around his studio and

107
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:31.720
he's got memorabilia from the La Rams
galore all over the walls. I'll never

108
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:33.840
forget that Super Bowl. That was
heartbreaking, man. I mean, me

109
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:37.559
and my dad went to the playoff
game against the Minnesota Vikings that year.

110
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:41.559
And as you know, I'm now, you must have been what sixteen years

111
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:50.039
old nineteen eighty I was fifteen years
old fifteen, okay, fifteen because I

112
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:56.440
had just entered Montabello High School,
freshly out of Catholic school. Saint A

113
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:00.480
quick shout out to all my bruins, brothers and sisters of Saint Benedict Montabello,

114
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:05.279
California or not. What's going on
chatting at Tuscano sitting here? I

115
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:09.120
had just gotten into Wannabello High School, so I was in my freshman year.

116
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:15.080
I remember being at home with my
dad watching the Super Bowl, uh

117
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:18.159
with I believe, I believe my
uncle was there, probably my grandfather.

118
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:26.960
And I'll never forget my dad throwing
his newspaper at the TV directly to the

119
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:31.200
little push button and it turned it
off really and then I heard my dad

120
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:35.919
use every vulgar word that I use, but I use it probably a lot

121
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.600
more than he did. That Was
it a color TV? Yes, it

122
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:43.039
was a color TV. But was
it a small thirteen inch or was it

123
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:48.440
like a twenty twenty one inch TV? U I find miss, I think

124
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:50.879
it was probably. I think it
was a little bit bigger than thirteen inch

125
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:54.720
back then, because it was,
you know, it was a new color

126
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:58.960
TV. You know what I mean. It sat right on top of the

127
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:03.759
stereo console that I'm sure you might
remember, the wooden cabinet where you have

128
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:09.840
them booner. You have your your
record player in there. It had a

129
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:15.360
record record players. Some even had
eight ras built built in. Do you

130
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:18.600
remember that's even older. That's seventies. Oh, that's even older. That's

131
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:20.840
seventies. That thing, that thing
was a beast when it had the eight

132
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:24.919
track and you you could play album. It looked like a coffin in people's

133
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.320
living rooms. Yes, it did, or you wouldn't think. You see

134
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.240
that, You're like, oh,
I'm not bewitched. Yes, I want

135
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:37.960
to see you know. That was
one of my favorite shows. Man.

136
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:43.279
You know, last last week we
talked about the the Wittier earthquake that happened

137
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:48.200
nineteen eighty seven. And in nineteen
eighty to be specific, January twenty fourth,

138
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.600
there was a five point eight it
was called Livermore earthquake that shook the

139
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:58.200
East Bay of California with an intensity, like I said, of only five

140
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:03.360
point eight. But then they had
later that day a five point four aftershock

141
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:11.480
and they lost eleven point five million
dollars in financial losses because of the events

142
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:13.559
of that earthquake. Can you believe
it? And that was a small earthquake.

143
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:16.399
Today here in southern California. You
say, oh, we had a

144
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.519
five point five point four. We
laughed quick, Yeah, we laughed.

145
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:28.480
And the funny thing, it's almost
like Mother Earth has learned how to deal

146
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:33.240
with the critters that live upon her, and I call us. We are

147
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:37.759
the fleas and ticks on Mother Earth's
fur. You know, we get there,

148
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:41.840
we irritate, we start fires,
we poison, we kill off skin

149
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:46.279
cells, we kill off arteries,
you know, and Mother Earth still hasn't

150
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:48.679
been able to scratch us off just
yet. You know, who's to say

151
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.000
when that's going to happen or if
it ever gonna happen. I'm not going

152
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:54.960
to stand here or sit here and
pop the top on another mountain dew and

153
00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:01.840
talk about philosophy. But it's just
very ironic that as we talk about the

154
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:05.919
eighties and you bring up that horrifying
story, just like I started it off

155
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:11.720
with Mount Saint Helens and the fifty
seven lives that we lost there, it's

156
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:16.039
always a catastrophe after catastrophe, doesn't
it seem like that, my brother,

157
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.080
Every decade we get a new catastrophe, and it's supposed to be a catastrophe

158
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:26.840
that's supposed to teach us a lesson
respect, appreciation, and compassion. Yeah,

159
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:31.200
it's like a reminder to society we
have become sort of immune to it,

160
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.000
or you know, we act as
if none of that bothers us,

161
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:37.759
or we act indifferent, so that
that kind of worries me. It seems

162
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:41.600
like we've lost that compassion and the
and the phrases that you spoke of right

163
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:46.519
now. You nailed it like a
hammer hitting the nail. Or we've become

164
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:52.759
immune to it, we become a
crass about it, and that is disturbing

165
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:56.279
in its own right. Away from
anything or any event that has made us

166
00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:01.000
feel that way or become that way. It's a that is a smack in

167
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:05.879
the face of humanity, bro and
the great spirit that resides above us,

168
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:09.480
that has given us all these blessings
that we have down here. Yeah,

169
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:15.200
it's sort of like we become desensitized
to everything that was bad or that was

170
00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:20.480
offensive back in our day, and
we have become just a nation of who

171
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.679
cares. Yes, Yes, So
those are some of the things that happened

172
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.159
back in nineteen eighty. Nineteen eighty, as I told you, was the

173
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:33.519
very last term of the President of
the Democratic President Jimmy Carter. That was

174
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:37.759
his last year in office. And
I'll say this, the day we would

175
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:41.480
have listened to Jimmy Carter and kind
of structured ourselves and what he believed in,

176
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:45.840
what he thought he was moving to
this country to move to we would

177
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:48.600
have not seen what we have just
seen in twenty twenty or previous years.

178
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:54.600
This was also in July. On
the sixteenth, Ronald Reagan was nominated to

179
00:14:54.759 --> 00:15:00.840
be the Republican candidate for the President
of the United States, which in later

180
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:07.480
he did beat Jimmy Carter and he
and George Bush Singer took over there.

181
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:13.559
I will say this, slowly regime
and hold of corrupt America back into the

182
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:18.840
eighties. You can well see now
everybody knows your point of view. See

183
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:22.360
nobody will ever know my point of
view. Besides, that was so little

184
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:26.559
to me. All I knew about
Jimmy Carter was that he was president and

185
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:28.000
that he liked peanuts at the time, and he had a hot wife.

186
00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:33.799
That's all I really cared about away
from the political aspect. His wife was

187
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:35.039
hot. When I saw her,
I was like, Oh, yeah,

188
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:39.360
chaggy one a farm lady. Come
hold over here, remmb but we're going

189
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:43.919
to write on the track here under
the star to get a little kids kiss.

190
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:48.519
Back to the eighties, will be
right back with this madness ever wish

191
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:52.039
you could go back to the eighties
with the crazy clothes and those wacky hair

192
00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:58.039
dues. Well, let Tescano and
Chang transport you back in time, back

193
00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:11.399
to the eighties commercials, Dad music. Good now it's zero commercials. Please

194
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:17.440
help support us in your donation today. We are going back today eighties.

195
00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:21.639
Welcome back. You were on the
hang with Back to the eighties Tosconow and

196
00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:27.120
Shang sitting in gear right here,
bringing eighties from the common year of nineteen

197
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:33.080
eighty. In February thirteenth, it
was a day after my birthday. I

198
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:36.600
am, of course, February twelfth. I'm an aquarian. Happy birthday to

199
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:40.960
you and to Abraham Lincoln, by
the way. That's right. I was

200
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:45.240
born the same day that Abraham Lincoln
was born. And you know it's odd

201
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:51.720
because Abraham Lincoln, you know,
he abolished slavery. Me I'm trying to

202
00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:57.120
abolish bigotry and unequality, which is
something that my dad instilled in me and

203
00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:03.519
my siblings, and my mother was
also a firm believer in that. It's

204
00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:07.359
very great humanitarian endeavors. My friends. Yeah, you know something that we

205
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:11.720
lack in our society, but we
need we need so dest oh brother,

206
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:15.400
And that's why you know, me
and you doing this show out there.

207
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:18.720
I want to create that positive energy
for everybody listening, you know. And

208
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:22.200
and hey, dude, I'm i'mto
the moon, bro, because we have

209
00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:26.599
so many listeners from so many other
countries, other other portions of the world,

210
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:30.200
which will give them a shout out
after and you know, they're allowing

211
00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:34.079
to come us, to come into
their heads and fill their heads with our

212
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:40.079
nonsense, our rhetoric, our humor, our points of interest. And I

213
00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:44.079
would like to think that we are
making people feel happy through all this crap

214
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:48.359
that we're going through out there in
the States. As a matter of fact,

215
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:51.720
why don't we take a little moment
and send some special shout outs because

216
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:53.920
we do have some new countries,
believe it or not, that are now

summer because I drown a lot,
so you better learn how to swim and

248
00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:26.839
save my ass. Hey, you
shouldn't go swimming when you're inebriated. Tiscano.

249
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:30.480
Remember that. Tell a boy.
I remember trust me, Trust me?

250
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:33.720
How are my number number one or
two greatest fans in the whole world

251
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:37.960
At Tiscano boys. I love those
kids. You know they've been they've been

252
00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:42.480
busy with school. Unfortunately it's school
at home, but you know they're still

253
00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:47.960
doing the school thing. My oldest
one just got the notification today that he's

254
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:52.160
been accepted into college, so he's
very excited. And our young one,

255
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:57.680
well, he's busy with his leaving
his hairlong and playing guitar. I love

256
00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:02.200
them for the moment. He is
a sophomore, so he's got a couple

257
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:04.240
more a couple more years to go. You know what, man? He

258
00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:07.039
uh, I trip out. He
cut his hair. By the way,

259
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:11.839
did we did we cut his hair? It's not long anymore. It's growing

260
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:14.559
again. Yeah, you like the
parents. My dad was, no son

261
00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:17.920
of mine's gonna have long hair,
and then I'll never forget. He looked

262
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:21.519
at my buddy one day. He
goes my son gay, and my buddy

263
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:25.079
goes, what's that, fernie.
He goes, is my son gay?

264
00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:29.359
And he goes, no, not
at all. He's got hair like a

265
00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:32.799
sister's and my buddy goes, nah. Man. He gets real lucky with

266
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:34.480
the ladies. And he was like, what you better not make me a

267
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:37.119
grand party, that dumbs son of
a bit. No, my kid,

268
00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:41.640
my youngest one has the hair of
John Wick right now. So Keanu Reeves

269
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:47.799
type, Oh oh yeah, it's
one of my favorite characters. Like Keanu

270
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:51.519
Reeves. Dude is an upstanding,
an outstanding human being, great human being.

271
00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:53.079
We're gonna have him on the show
one of these days. Believe it

272
00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:56.000
or not. We're gonna have him
on the show. Oh that is good,

273
00:21:56.079 --> 00:22:00.319
That would be neat if we could
get him on the show with Kiefer

274
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:04.880
Sutherland, with Corey Faldman. Possibly, maybe maybe Corey could be the show

275
00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:08.519
and get Billy Worth, the very
sexy Billy Worth. My wife still has

276
00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:11.960
a crush on Billy Worth. We
can maybe Johnny will come in, at

277
00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:15.640
least we'll have one of his characters
come in. Definitely. We're still talking

278
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:21.200
about nineteen eighty. I got an
event that happened that is not very not

279
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:26.480
very well known outside of the US. But around February I'm sorry, March

280
00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:32.519
of nineteen eighty, a gentleman by
the name of John Fabrah was driving on

281
00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:37.079
a certain road and because of he
you know, because he wasn't paying attention

282
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:40.920
or whatever it is, he killed
a young little boy on a scooter.

283
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:45.119
It turns out that that young little
boy was the son of John Gotti,

284
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:52.559
the very famous mobster from New York. Later on that year, of course,

285
00:22:53.000 --> 00:23:00.480
John Fabra, the gentleman who killed
by accident John Gotti's son, disappeared,

286
00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:06.640
and of course it is said that
John Gotti's henchman took him and supposedly

287
00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:11.759
dissolved him an acid alive. Wow
wow. Now, John Gotti's a tehlong

288
00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:19.839
dawn, probably one of the most
charismatic, vain godfathers of the Italian mob

289
00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:26.000
history, would you not say?
Very flashy, very street smart, very

290
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:33.680
public. Almost As an entertainer of
Hitman, I always portrayed John Gotti as

291
00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:37.640
I idolize the guy when I was
a kid. I know that's kind of

292
00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:40.160
warp, but I thought, man, that's a guy I want to be

293
00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:41.960
like. Yeah, I think his
family has a reality show. Yeah they

294
00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:45.359
do at least yeah, his children
or something like that. I'm not too

295
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:48.839
sure, but either way, that's
the one piece of news that I do

296
00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:55.200
remember of nineteen eighty and I don't
think that news made it too far out

297
00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:59.119
of the United States. Definitely,
probably in Italy somewhere. It must have

298
00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:04.039
hit like Sicily or something. Did
your dad know, John Gotty. My

299
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:11.519
dad was into horse racing. You
gotta remember my dad lost everything at his

300
00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:15.759
church, lost Alimito, Santa Anita, and Hollywood Park. Oh yeah,

301
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:18.920
dude, that was my dad's church. Oh here's the fun facts. So

302
00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:25.200
that means both of us at one
given time we were visiting horse race parks

303
00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:29.119
in the eighties. Absolutely, we
were just probably had it could have been

304
00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:30.960
the same day. Who knows.
My old man was always at the horse

305
00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:34.680
races. You were probably betting on
horses. And I was in my dad's

306
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:37.599
arms. He was carrying me in
his arms. Oh dude, my dad

307
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:41.160
as I was asleep. My dad
taught me and my sisters how to read

308
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:45.920
the forum when I was probably eight
years old. By the time I was

309
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:49.240
ten, I would go to the
race or race track with my dad,

310
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:52.960
you know, any one of them
in southern California. We would even go

311
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:56.920
to Delmark and my dad would always
tell me, Hey, pick your horse,

312
00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:00.000
give me your allowance, and I'll
go place a bet and you know,

313
00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:03.160
sometimes I win, sometimes I will
lose. My dad always taught me

314
00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:06.279
one thing he goes, remember me, cole, when we go home,

315
00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:11.279
the left pocket is mine. What's
in the right pal get goes to mama.

316
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:17.400
So never ever let your mother know
that. I always remember that bold

317
00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:19.079
the ritual, you know what I
mean. If my dad won, well,

318
00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:22.839
he'd reach into that right pocket and
he'd give my mom some cash and

319
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:27.599
then in the left pocket. I
knew my dad had a little tradition something

320
00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:32.039
that my dad did every time he
won and I knew he won, is

321
00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:34.599
that he would find me and he
would throw me up in the air.

322
00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:37.920
You know, he would carry me
and throw me up in the air.

323
00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:40.960
He was so happy and twirled me
around. I knew my dad had won

324
00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:45.400
something, and so immediately I knew
I was getting hot dogs the coke fries.

325
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:48.279
And by the way, do you
remember how delicious hot dogs were at

326
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:53.039
Lost Almidos in Hollywood Park Back then? They were the greatest hot dogs.

327
00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:56.480
Oh yeah, dude, they they
were like dog or dogs, but they

328
00:25:56.519 --> 00:26:00.440
were juicy. I mean you bite
in, remember, and you get water

329
00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:03.440
on your mouth, sometimes on your
nose and your eyes. I don't know

330
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:04.519
about that. I mean, dud, you're taking a little too further.

331
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:11.359
Well, that's what was going on
for me, I was already probably I

332
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:15.119
was probably high at the time.
Hey, man, I grew up.

333
00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:18.799
My dad used I grew up.
My dad was a bet taker at a

334
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:22.319
bookie club in East Los Angeles.
Okay. I used to go to the

335
00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:25.480
bookie or with my dad. Now, my dad would be at the bar

336
00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:30.960
right like, taking bets and the
whole setup. Dude. They had underground

337
00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:33.079
television. Yeah, so you could
watch the Ram game, the Raider game,

338
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:37.640
or a Charter game. Somebody was
there with a camera. You could

339
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:41.480
watch all the races that were going
on, whatever sporting event. And my

340
00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:44.200
uncle, my godfather, was it
like in the movies. They had this

341
00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:48.440
big chalkboard in the background with all
the bets going on. Yes, yeah,

342
00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:51.759
really, yes, there was a
chalkboard there. H. Then you

343
00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:53.640
know my dad was writing it down
on the books, you know, taking

344
00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:57.240
the cash. The cash was getting
put in something else. Uh. That

345
00:26:57.599 --> 00:27:02.359
was the front was a are and
you could eat there, so I was

346
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:06.720
constantly eating. There was alcohol to
get free cokes, and my uncle was

347
00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:10.559
the doorman and there was a specific
knock that you had to knock on the

348
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:14.880
door so he can open up this
little window and you couldn't see from the

349
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:18.880
outside, but he could see you, and you know that he would open

350
00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:21.559
up the door. And I'm telling
you, as a kid, this is

351
00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:23.240
what I grew up watching. And
I would watch my grandpa, I mean

352
00:27:23.319 --> 00:27:26.839
my uncle rather my godfather, who
was some somewhat of a big dude,

353
00:27:27.319 --> 00:27:33.759
kind of looked like a soprano.
Yes, my uncle looked like the character

354
00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:36.519
soprano. And you know, my
uncle would shake him down, frisk him

355
00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:37.880
up, question him, put him
in the back, you know what I

356
00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:41.920
mean. Then they go and if
they were members, they would talk to

357
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:45.039
everybody. If not, you know, you place your bet, you get

358
00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:48.200
walked out, you get checked out. It was. It was pretty crazy,

359
00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:56.200
Bro. It was a very educational
experience. It sounds like the underground

360
00:27:56.279 --> 00:27:59.039
world, Bro for a kid,
and you know, I'm a little kid,

361
00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:00.079
Brol, But I was able to
watch games, Bro, and it

362
00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:03.519
was it was suthing, Bro.
It was salted Bro. March twenty second,

363
00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:11.000
there was a set of stones that
were erected called the Georgia Guidestones.

364
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:15.119
And this isn't unknown for many,
but these are a set of stones that

365
00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:18.799
it can be found today in the
United States are called the Georgia Guidestones.

366
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:22.680
And they have a set of rules
or set of it's kind of like a

367
00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:29.519
ten commandment thing. But they were
written by the governing body here well,

368
00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:32.680
from around the world. Let me
read you real quick some of the things

369
00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:34.519
that it says on these guidestones,
because they're a little bit creepy. And

370
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:40.119
this was erected in nineteen eighty.
There's nothing like an erect stone, nothing

371
00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:42.160
like that. Yeah, especially if
it's got writing all over it. Number

372
00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:47.920
one, it says, maintain humanity
under five hundred million in perpetual balance with

373
00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:51.880
nature. That's a little weird.
We have a big planet and they say

374
00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:55.400
that in order for it to function
properly, we should maintain the planet with

375
00:28:56.000 --> 00:29:00.680
under five hundred million people. So
the world's population in nineteen eighty was four

376
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:06.200
point four three three billion, but
the Georgia guidestones say that in order to

377
00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:11.839
maintain a perfect balance with nature,
it should be five hundred million or under.

378
00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:17.079
That's interesting. It also says guide
reproduction wisely, improving fitness and diversity.

379
00:29:17.519 --> 00:29:22.559
Unite humanity with a living new language, so basically one language to rule

380
00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:26.240
them all, rule passion, faith, tradition, and all things tempered reason,

381
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:29.640
Protect people and nations, with fair
laws and just courts, let all

382
00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:34.359
nations internally resolve external disputes in a
world court, which is also interesting.

383
00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:40.160
It's sort of like they're wanting one
world government. You know. I'm not

384
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:44.240
a conspiracy theorist, you know,
don't believe lots of that stuff. But

385
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:51.519
these are stones that exist in Georgia
and they have all these sayings on them,

386
00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:55.440
and I just find it very very
interesting. It is very interesting,

387
00:29:55.480 --> 00:29:57.720
and you think about, like how
we started the show, we decided to

388
00:29:57.799 --> 00:30:03.319
talk about this eighty the nineteen eighty
is a specific year, a ton of

389
00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:06.640
change, and if you look at
what we're going through right now, so

390
00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:11.720
the writing on the stones seems to
be oddly similar to in the actions that

391
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:17.240
are partaking in the United States now
and kind of a place in time history

392
00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:22.359
that they're going pointing to avoid petty
laws and useless officials. Once again,

393
00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:27.599
balance personal rights with social duties,
Prize truth, beauty, love, seeking,

394
00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:33.240
harmony with the infinite, the infinite, what who knows? Be not

395
00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:37.240
a cancer on the earth, and
leave room for nature, Leave room for

396
00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:40.559
nature. It says it twice,
so if you get a chance to look

397
00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:42.759
it up online, it's called the
Georgia guidestones. I just thought it was

398
00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:48.960
pretty interesting read. And that was
all in nineteen eighty. You know,

399
00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:52.000
back in nineteen eighty we had the
Winter Olympics. Of course, they started

400
00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:56.759
off the Lake Placid and that was
also the year that the United States boycotted

401
00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:00.039
the Moscow Olympics. I don't know
if you remember that. Yes, so

402
00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:03.839
the Lake Placid Olympics started. Did
you say Lake Placid like the like the

403
00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:10.559
movie, not Lake Lake flatulent,
lake Placid? And uh. That was

404
00:31:10.799 --> 00:31:15.240
also when the United States hockey team
took the gold medal over the Soviet Union

405
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:19.359
for one of the very first times
in hockey history. I don't know if

406
00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:23.359
you remember that. And maybe you
probably had to draw some pictures in school

407
00:31:23.440 --> 00:31:30.640
of the hockey team, right what
kids do now? And interestingly enough,

408
00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:34.759
I know that the Soviet Union did
not go. They boycotted the Olympics.

409
00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:40.720
In nineteen eighty four when the Olympics
was in the United States, Russia boycotted

410
00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:44.160
US and they didn't come right,
But that is because also in nineteen eighty

411
00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:49.039
the United States boycotted the Moscow Olympics. So it was kind of correct.

412
00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:52.759
You know, Nan Nan Nan who
you did this to us, So we're

413
00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:55.960
gonna do it to you that political
game. Yeah, exactly what I mean,

414
00:31:56.079 --> 00:32:00.920
that's exactly the stupidity. Also on
the statin out in nineteen eighty,

415
00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:05.480
John Lennon was killed and shot and
killed in New York. That's one thing

416
00:32:05.559 --> 00:32:08.759
that was devastating. That's right outside
his New York apartment building, the Dakota,

417
00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:13.640
Dakota. Right this evening, John
Lennon arrived at the emergency room at

418
00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:17.119
the Roosevelt Hospital. He was dead
on at the time of his arrival.

419
00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:23.160
Numerous resuscitative efforts were made after his
arrival in the hospital, including transfusions,

420
00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:30.240
surgical procedures, other procedures. But
in spite of the effort of many physicians

421
00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:35.519
and after many procedures, we were
unable to restore the life of mister Lennon.

422
00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:39.559
And that, I think something that
kind of change the outlook in the

423
00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:45.079
realm and the spirit of majority of
mankind, not just us in the States.

424
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:50.119
I thought it was a global event
that kind of a put a crest

425
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:53.960
in the Yeah, that was a
global event because he was a global personality,

426
00:32:54.759 --> 00:32:59.920
So that definitely touched worldwide. Right, Hey, you know what,

427
00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:05.680
I bet you don't know this that
in nineteen eighty post it notes hit the

428
00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:08.519
markets for the very first time.
Post it notes, you mean the little

429
00:33:08.920 --> 00:33:13.279
the little yellow notes. Yeah,
post it notes. I'm sure you have

430
00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:16.920
some of problems around the office.
Yes, yellow, the pink, the

431
00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:22.400
green, dude, post it notes. That's a fun fact for everybody out

432
00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:24.759
there. And as I could see, you're sitting in your basement where you

433
00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:30.720
have all your video games. Also
your favorite, your most you see him

434
00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:34.279
on my arcade games, you see, and I know your most favorite arcade

435
00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:38.400
game of all debuted in nineteen eighty. Oh, the one that people get

436
00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:45.960
a fever for pac Man. Oh, I've got the fever and I've got

437
00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:49.640
the pac Man fever. Baby.
Ah, you know what I used to

438
00:33:49.799 --> 00:33:57.079
chase girls like Paca. You probably
still do. I do well. Another

439
00:33:57.160 --> 00:34:04.359
thing that happened in the see and
then debut that's correct in the toy world,

440
00:34:04.920 --> 00:34:08.760
much to the surprise of many,
Rubik's Cube gets its day in toy

441
00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:13.320
stores. Oh that's right, Rubik's
Cube. Do you remember. I remember

442
00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:15.400
when that came out. That thing
was like a mind part sometimes. Yeah,

443
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:20.199
we actually have one and my youngest
son. You can mess it up

444
00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:25.239
and he will put it together.
Within a matter of less than a minute.

445
00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:30.159
Wow, dude, less than a
minute. That's the youngest. Yeah,

446
00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:34.320
the long haired guitar playing kid.
What can I tell you? In

447
00:34:34.519 --> 00:34:38.840
nineteen eighty, the question was brought
to the television viewers in America who shot

448
00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:45.960
JR. On the soap nighttime show
Dallas, who was portrayed Larry Hagman,

449
00:34:46.280 --> 00:34:50.800
who used to be of course,
I dream of Genie's dog. Yeah,

450
00:34:50.880 --> 00:34:53.719
I remember I hated the show because
I was too little, so it wasn't

451
00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:58.639
my type of show. It was
just content that was not for me.

452
00:34:59.159 --> 00:35:04.559
However, I do remember everybody talking
about who shot JR. And everybody wondering

453
00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:07.960
who was it that shot JR.
I think it was a lady, right,

454
00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:09.880
wasn't it a young lady who shot
JR? Yes, it was the

455
00:35:10.039 --> 00:35:15.360
actress. Her name was Chris and
I believe in the show, and she

456
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:20.400
was being Crosby's daughter and she was
smoking hot. I used to watch that

457
00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:22.559
show with my sister because man,
they were all smoking hot chicks. Man,

458
00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:27.960
you know, just just to watch
TV. Some dude b is ruthless

459
00:35:28.079 --> 00:35:31.280
and conniving is the ewings, but
so many hot. Yeah, because he

460
00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:34.920
was he was ruthless, right,
he was the ruthless son of a bitch

461
00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:37.360
man. I mean he he stoled
out his own brother. You know,

462
00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:43.559
his wife was smoking hot and then
they had oh uh, what was her

463
00:35:43.639 --> 00:35:50.559
name? Charlene Tilton was the niece
smoking hot blonde. But the show itself

464
00:35:51.159 --> 00:35:55.280
kind of gave you that inside look
to how CEO's of America, and that

465
00:35:55.480 --> 00:36:00.719
was the oil business, how really
rootless and scandalous that they are and the

466
00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:05.599
power that they do hold in the
United States. So I used was always

467
00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:12.079
intrigued with that show because it showed
you nothing but a sin, hot chicks,

468
00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:17.199
sex money. Yeah, you know, disenchantment, ruthless politics, rootless

469
00:36:17.239 --> 00:36:22.519
business ethics. And it's the other
thing on the other hand that I thought

470
00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:25.079
was like, wow, that's really
how America is getting to run. Food

471
00:36:25.119 --> 00:36:28.599
for thought. Okay, I know
you were probably young, but do you

472
00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:34.840
know the what minimum age already rate
was back in nineteen eighty Wasn't it around

473
00:36:34.920 --> 00:36:37.440
three dollars or something like that?
Three dollars in something sense? Oh,

474
00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:44.079
you were correct, three dollars and
ten cents. Isn't that crazy? English

475
00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:51.599
rock band The Police released their third
studio album, Zangiata Mondata That is a

476
00:36:51.719 --> 00:36:58.079
great album July nineteen eighty and I
love the Police. The Police were such

477
00:36:58.119 --> 00:37:00.480
a they are such a great band. Yes, I agree with Let's take

478
00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:05.159
a quick break. Coming up,
Chang's top ten list of music in the

479
00:37:05.239 --> 00:37:14.920
eighties, like a creature of the
night, back to the eighties. If

480
00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:19.480
they were a laxative, they'd be
so powerful you could stand on your head

481
00:37:20.039 --> 00:37:24.079
and on the ceiling. Next position
would not only be unavailable, but also

482
00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:30.880
undignified. And now back to the
eighties with Taskano and Chang. You're listening

483
00:37:30.920 --> 00:37:34.639
to see back to the eighties,
Tiskanno and Chang. Here the subject of

484
00:37:34.760 --> 00:37:38.119
today nineteen eighty Chang, I know
that you have a top ten list of

485
00:37:38.639 --> 00:37:42.320
music of nineteen eighty. You know
what, Tiscano, You're gonna have to

486
00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:47.719
give us a drum roll there,
Thanks, and here we go. Nineteen

487
00:37:47.840 --> 00:37:55.519
eighty Rolling Stone Top ten list of
songs. Number one was by the beautiful

488
00:37:57.159 --> 00:38:01.280
X Playboy Bunny Blonde Call me what
was she really an ex Playboy Bunny?

489
00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:05.840
She was an ex Playboy Bunny,
but she was not in the magazine.

490
00:38:05.840 --> 00:38:10.079
I believe she worked at the Playboy
Club, which was located in Hollywood,

491
00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:14.360
California, not at the mansion.
She wasn't like at the mansion, wasn't

492
00:38:14.440 --> 00:38:17.079
no, no, she was one
of the big bunnies over at the At

493
00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:24.760
the club. Gentleman's Club is another
story. My father was also a member,

494
00:38:25.800 --> 00:38:30.519
which wow rock and roll to my
dad. And then number two,

495
00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:37.920
we had the ever so beautiful song
Lady by the handsome debonair Kenny Rodgers,

496
00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:43.519
who was formerly a rock rock and
roller before he really Kenny Rogers a rock

497
00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:50.599
and roller. I can't picture yeah
wearing that gray sports code and his brown

498
00:38:50.719 --> 00:38:54.199
corduroys and boots. Oh yeah,
but he had this one song. I

499
00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:59.320
just checked in to see what condition
I was in it for our listeners out

500
00:38:59.360 --> 00:39:01.760
there. I forgot the name of
the bad escape from me right now.

501
00:39:01.840 --> 00:39:06.239
But if you look for Kenny Rogers
and that song, you would see a

502
00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:09.480
different look of Kenny Rogers. Awesome, he had a badass rocket roll boys.

503
00:39:10.960 --> 00:39:16.039
Three. Yes, I wanted to
look like Kenny Rodgers when I got

504
00:39:16.079 --> 00:39:19.480
older. I wanted to look sexy
like him, you know what I mean.

505
00:39:19.920 --> 00:39:22.639
Unfortunately, Kenny Rogers he had that
bad surgery and he looked like a

506
00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:29.079
really high Chinese guy before you that's
right, he did that plastic surgery.

507
00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:32.119
Yeah, man, I don't know
what. I can't understand when people get

508
00:39:32.159 --> 00:39:36.159
that plastic. I don't understand why. Yeah, yeah, you know what

509
00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:38.760
God. If God intended for everybody
to be ugly, he'd make us ugly

510
00:39:38.840 --> 00:39:45.000
from birth. Please, don't don't
have plastic. It's like he's like,

511
00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:50.440
it's like he purposely said, I'd
like to see how ugly you can make

512
00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:52.480
me? Yeah? How ugly can
you make me? Can you make me

513
00:39:52.599 --> 00:39:57.840
look like a deranged animal? Can
you make me look like Beast from Beauty

514
00:39:57.880 --> 00:40:01.079
and the Beast. Hey, Ugly
is the new beauty? Yes, it

515
00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:06.079
was a new beautiful. I want
to look like a thousand bees stung my

516
00:40:06.280 --> 00:40:08.880
face at one time. That's what
I want to look like. Number three

517
00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:13.719
on that rock and roll list is
of Michael Jackson, the pop king.

518
00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:22.960
That's right, Rock with You was
number three. Oh great songs, and

519
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:25.760
then of course great one of my
favorites, Crazy Little Thing called Love by

520
00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:31.119
the the Great Band of Queen from
the UK. The greatest lead singer I

521
00:40:31.199 --> 00:40:35.519
think in a rock band. Freddie
Mercury, the late Great Freddie Mercury,

522
00:40:35.599 --> 00:40:38.519
Rest in peace. Also another Brick
in the Wall, Part two from Pink

523
00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:43.840
Floyd. That was a band of
me and my buddies listened to continuously The

524
00:40:44.000 --> 00:40:47.400
Floyd. Yes, now that album
by the way, that album, you

525
00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:51.239
know they made a movie, but
it wasn't until like a year or two

526
00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:53.159
years later that they didn't make the
movie to that same album. Yeah,

527
00:40:53.239 --> 00:40:57.880
the Wall. I remember going to
see the Wall at the Loup Wentz Day

528
00:40:59.679 --> 00:41:05.000
see at a twelve o'clock midnight showing
the Wall was incredible. Man. We

529
00:41:05.039 --> 00:41:07.079
would get together, me and my
buddies and you know, we would watch

530
00:41:07.159 --> 00:41:10.760
it everywhere, bro, and we
would be under the influence of whatever God

531
00:41:10.920 --> 00:41:15.880
created for us to take it that
give popcorn, popcorn, let's say popcorn,

532
00:41:15.920 --> 00:41:17.400
because you were at the theater,
La, you were under the influence

533
00:41:17.480 --> 00:41:21.360
of popcorn. It was too much
low and brown the parking lot and too

534
00:41:21.480 --> 00:41:25.840
much popcorn inside the old theater.
And then we go down to Lipskink with

535
00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:32.920
Bucky Town. Oh yes, you
have kind of the techno disco type.

536
00:41:34.880 --> 00:41:37.800
It definitely did have that disco feel
to it, slow soul be to it.

537
00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:45.480
You know. You know that later
on in the eighties, later on

538
00:41:45.639 --> 00:41:51.639
in the eighties, Pseudo Echo,
Pseudo Echo, the new wave band came

539
00:41:51.719 --> 00:41:53.960
up with their version of it,
and it hit a big right, it

540
00:41:54.119 --> 00:41:58.760
was a real They did a great
job, right you are one percent.

541
00:41:59.079 --> 00:42:01.719
That is a good fun right there. And then get this, remember the

542
00:42:01.840 --> 00:42:07.360
beautiful Olivia Newton John from Greece.
She was who can forget it? Also

543
00:42:07.599 --> 00:42:10.719
followed up on that list with Magic. Do you remember that song? Oh?

544
00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:14.559
Yeah, I remember the Magic song. I thought it was Let's Get

545
00:42:14.599 --> 00:42:17.119
Physical, but wasn't that later or
I believe that was later on in the

546
00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:23.000
eighties. And then again we had
the Deeper herself, I mean probably one

547
00:42:23.039 --> 00:42:29.159
of the greatest female vocalists of R
and B of all time, Diana Ross,

548
00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:34.199
and she had upside Down. You
remember that song upside Down? Remember

549
00:42:34.360 --> 00:42:39.719
also also had that seventies disco field
to exactly that. You know they'd probably

550
00:42:40.760 --> 00:42:45.400
played at Studio fifty four in New
York, Yes, Studio fifty four.

551
00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:51.519
Can you to be a wall with
the in that era? Man, to

552
00:42:51.639 --> 00:42:55.599
see what crack at Studio fifty four. That would have been wild. Imagine

553
00:42:55.599 --> 00:43:00.960
if you would were alive then at
the age we are now and us being

554
00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:04.679
able to do a show back to
the eighth and Studio fifty four, Man,

555
00:43:05.199 --> 00:43:07.559
I think when we would walk to
the restroom. Our footprints probably would

556
00:43:07.559 --> 00:43:13.400
be shown up on the floor from
all the cocaine residents. The abominable snow

557
00:43:13.440 --> 00:43:17.480
Man lives there. They were looking
for the Abominable Snowman in the Antarctic or

558
00:43:17.559 --> 00:43:22.000
the North Pole. He was not
there. He was a Studio fifty four.

559
00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:25.400
He was snorting lions off of the
dance floor Studio fifty four. He

560
00:43:25.599 --> 00:43:30.840
was just laying down people snorting him
the two years of Studio fifty four.

561
00:43:30.920 --> 00:43:37.639
Can you dancing? Can you handle
doing blow? You know you're right?

562
00:43:37.719 --> 00:43:40.239
If those walls can talk, do
you know the amount of books that they

563
00:43:40.320 --> 00:43:44.679
could write? Dude, which he's
insane? Then we have to go back

564
00:43:44.760 --> 00:43:50.760
Okaane number nine, another song by
the Great Queen Man, Another one Fights

565
00:43:50.800 --> 00:44:01.400
to Dust, another one another,
and then followed by everybody's favorite, It's

566
00:44:01.440 --> 00:44:07.760
Still Rock and Roll to Me by
Billy Joel. Billy Joel, which Billy

567
00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:12.400
Joel. Yes, that little dude
could play the ivorieson. I mean,

568
00:44:12.519 --> 00:44:15.280
I totally. You know. There
aren't many bands, there have never been

569
00:44:15.360 --> 00:44:21.079
many bands that in one album have
so many hits. You know, there's

570
00:44:21.400 --> 00:44:24.639
very few that can actually pull that
off. Queen is definitely one of them.

571
00:44:25.480 --> 00:44:34.320
Billy Joel is another one style from
one album. You can have so

572
00:44:34.480 --> 00:44:37.280
many hits and always rock and roll. To me, I still listen to

573
00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:40.599
it in the car with my kids
and we love that song. That as

574
00:44:40.599 --> 00:44:45.679
a matter of fact, was a
right off of that album, the debut

575
00:44:45.719 --> 00:44:51.159
album Uh where it hit gold.
I mean, I think there was probably

576
00:44:51.320 --> 00:44:53.559
nine hits off of his first album
when he when he popped out. That's

577
00:44:53.599 --> 00:44:58.679
incredible. You know, when you
have an album as an artist and almost

578
00:44:58.719 --> 00:45:02.000
every song is played on the ray, you know you got something something valuable.

579
00:45:02.079 --> 00:45:07.519
I think these artists that I mentioned
are a staple in the magazine of

580
00:45:08.280 --> 00:45:12.320
rock and roll music back in the
eighties. I think all of them were

581
00:45:12.440 --> 00:45:19.679
very influential. All of them were
very in tune with what the vibe was

582
00:45:19.800 --> 00:45:23.039
going on in society. Because if
you look at this whole list that I

583
00:45:23.159 --> 00:45:28.440
just went through, all of them
were so in touch and everything was almost

584
00:45:28.719 --> 00:45:31.960
kind of corresponded, you know what
I mean, everybody they keyed into their

585
00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:37.639
audience very well, and back then
this list proves. Look at the diversity

586
00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:42.400
of each of these songs, the
diversity of the styles of the artists that

587
00:45:42.519 --> 00:45:49.199
created them. Some of them the
musical composition alone was was fantastic. When

588
00:45:49.280 --> 00:45:51.840
you have these when you have these
artists, Now, don't you think that

589
00:45:51.960 --> 00:45:54.679
that diversity that we just saw that
we went over in this list is is

590
00:45:54.760 --> 00:46:00.880
so missing in music today and radio. My brother, you know, we've

591
00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:04.360
talked about this before. We've talked
about this with guests on the show.

592
00:46:04.880 --> 00:46:07.880
There is no comparison, you know. And this is not to say we

593
00:46:07.960 --> 00:46:13.679
don't have great musicians today. We
have great musicians, we have wonderful technology,

594
00:46:14.280 --> 00:46:16.960
we have great writers. But it's
just never going to be the same

595
00:46:17.119 --> 00:46:21.079
because it's not the first time that
this stuff is coming out, so it's

596
00:46:21.119 --> 00:46:27.239
not new and groundbreaking until that happens. Who knows when that will ever happen

597
00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:30.719
again. But in the meantime,
just enjoy music, even the new music.

598
00:46:30.840 --> 00:46:36.440
Enjoy it for what it is.
Me personally, I stick to what

599
00:46:36.599 --> 00:46:40.960
I know from the seventies and eighties
because to me, that left a mark

600
00:46:42.159 --> 00:46:45.440
in my soul. I mean,
I even listen to Elvis and you know,

601
00:46:45.840 --> 00:46:49.599
Frank Sinatra and things like that,
and once in a while I'll listen

602
00:46:49.639 --> 00:46:53.039
to some new stuff, but it's
not you know, ninety nine percent of

603
00:46:53.079 --> 00:46:55.760
the time, I'm not listening to
the stuff, so do I. I'm

604
00:46:55.840 --> 00:46:59.320
kind of diverse, man. I
listened to a lot of new stuff,

605
00:46:59.360 --> 00:47:01.920
and i'm you know, of course
the new rock and roll. Then probably

606
00:47:01.920 --> 00:47:06.079
I listen to the you know,
that's that's because you like Drake and Nicki

607
00:47:06.119 --> 00:47:08.079
Minaje. And that's fine, you
know. I yeah, you know,

608
00:47:08.320 --> 00:47:13.480
and the and that's great. For
heaven's sake, it's not music without Drake.

609
00:47:16.599 --> 00:47:22.320
Drake is fake. December fourteenth,
four people are murdered and the four

610
00:47:22.400 --> 00:47:27.239
others are injured by two armed robbers
at Bob's Big Boy on Lasianaga Boulevard in

611
00:47:27.320 --> 00:47:30.719
Los Angeles, and what is one
of the city's most brutal crimes ever.

612
00:47:30.920 --> 00:47:36.840
Did you remember that ever occurring?
That happened December fourteenth, nineteen eighty You

613
00:47:36.920 --> 00:47:38.920
know what, I do remember that
because I remember, you know, uh,

614
00:47:39.800 --> 00:47:43.599
in high school, people making jokes
about don't go eat a Bob Big

615
00:47:43.679 --> 00:47:46.320
Boy, You're gonna get jacked and
killed. I mean, that's not a

616
00:47:46.440 --> 00:47:50.199
joke, that's not worth the joke
content. But you know, when you're

617
00:47:50.199 --> 00:47:52.679
a teenager, that's kind of the
word of the thing. And you know,

618
00:47:52.760 --> 00:47:54.280
when you're a teenager, you make
fun of everything. Yeah, you

619
00:47:54.360 --> 00:47:57.199
know. And and I'll tell you
as a kid, you know, I

620
00:47:57.320 --> 00:48:00.559
was, I was a teenager.
I had a curfew. But after games,

621
00:48:00.719 --> 00:48:02.480
you know, football games, or
you go hang out with your buddies,

622
00:48:02.719 --> 00:48:05.559
you know, we would go to
Bob's, you know. And it

623
00:48:05.679 --> 00:48:07.480
was kind of in the late night. And for a while there, we

624
00:48:07.599 --> 00:48:10.360
put the brakes on going to Bob's. We just decided to go to Tommy's.

625
00:48:10.880 --> 00:48:15.079
Hey, that's a that's a good
change. But Bob's Big Boy had

626
00:48:15.199 --> 00:48:19.599
such great, great food back then. Oh yeah, dude. And then

627
00:48:19.679 --> 00:48:22.440
the women that served you with that
bun on top of their head. Ye,

628
00:48:22.559 --> 00:48:24.079
everybody looked like they were in the
group, the b fifty twos.

629
00:48:24.119 --> 00:48:27.599
As a matter of fact, the
first time I saw the group, blow

630
00:48:27.760 --> 00:48:30.599
from Melsner. Yeah, I thought, Man, these chicks must work at

631
00:48:30.639 --> 00:48:34.280
Bob's. Big Boy. Can strip
out of these chicks hairstyles. I mean

632
00:48:34.480 --> 00:48:38.440
that's right. Old girl looks like
she's got a freaking Danish on her head.

633
00:48:38.480 --> 00:48:42.360
It just like perfectly squirreled like an
ice cream cone. Man, I

634
00:48:42.480 --> 00:48:44.800
just want to go up there and
suck her hair off, you know.

635
00:48:46.559 --> 00:48:51.960
Oh. The winner of the Oscar
for the Best Picture of the nineteen eighty

636
00:48:52.320 --> 00:48:55.159
year. Was Kramer versus Kramer?
All right, a little closer together,

637
00:48:55.639 --> 00:49:02.440
Come on, smile. That's it, Hold it and it's terrific. Columbia

638
00:49:02.519 --> 00:49:08.519
Pictures Presents Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Street
in Kramer versus Kramer. I just gotta

639
00:49:08.559 --> 00:49:12.280
call the off before they go.
Joe, You're gonna be real proud of

640
00:49:12.320 --> 00:49:16.639
you. I'm leaving you. Was
this some kind of junk? Did you

641
00:49:16.679 --> 00:49:22.559
know that all the best chefs are
man de from shelling here? Oh it's

642
00:49:22.559 --> 00:49:28.480
all right. You like your French
toots crunchy? Don't you have iced clun

643
00:49:28.800 --> 00:49:34.559
yarn circles on? I want my
son, you can't have. What makes

644
00:49:34.599 --> 00:49:38.000
you so sure he doesn't want me? I'm not that late too, In

645
00:49:38.119 --> 00:49:43.119
only twenty minutes, all the other
mothers were there before you. It will

646
00:49:43.199 --> 00:49:45.960
never happen again. Okay. I'm
not saying he doesn't need his father,

647
00:49:46.559 --> 00:49:52.400
but I really believe he needs me
more. I'm his mother. My wife

648
00:49:52.519 --> 00:49:55.159
says that she loves Billy. I
believe she does. But I like to

649
00:49:55.280 --> 00:50:00.360
know what law is it that says
that a woman is a better parent simply

650
00:50:00.400 --> 00:50:06.079
by virtue of for sex? How
does it feel? Okay? Okay,

651
00:50:06.320 --> 00:50:10.679
keep going, keep it going.
Chamber Door, God of you, Billy

652
00:50:15.760 --> 00:50:21.960
right Kramer Versus Kramer. You remember
that with Dustin Hoffman. He also won

653
00:50:22.480 --> 00:50:25.119
the Oscar for Best Actor. You
saw that movie. That was a movie

654
00:50:25.119 --> 00:50:30.960
about divorce, basically two people fighting
for the custody of the kids, right

655
00:50:30.559 --> 00:50:34.960
right. And what made that movie
great? I mean, it was a

656
00:50:35.039 --> 00:50:38.880
great movie, a great cast,
great storyline, superb acting. But it

657
00:50:39.000 --> 00:50:43.960
was very relatable to anybody that had
gone through a scenario such as that.

658
00:50:44.519 --> 00:50:49.039
And as we're talking about the eighties, as we know, the eighties kind

659
00:50:49.079 --> 00:50:53.000
of was the birth era of common
law divorces. People were fighting. It

660
00:50:53.239 --> 00:50:58.639
very easy to get a divorce,
and you know, for whatever reasons people

661
00:50:59.280 --> 00:51:01.639
get a divorce, you know,
you know, people have their reasons.

662
00:51:02.000 --> 00:51:07.639
But it was kind of the beginning
of the family breakdown to where I think

663
00:51:07.719 --> 00:51:15.000
it's kind of rolled into where we
see so many problems within generations and the

664
00:51:15.119 --> 00:51:19.559
way people are growing up now and
losing some of those guidelines that the older

665
00:51:19.639 --> 00:51:22.679
generations gave to two generations like us. You know, it's odd that you

666
00:51:22.800 --> 00:51:29.119
bring this up and we're discussing it
because that I remember watching that movie.

667
00:51:29.119 --> 00:51:30.800
You know, when it came out
and I was kind of young, and

668
00:51:30.880 --> 00:51:35.000
I tripped out in it and I
could relate to it because my parents were

669
00:51:35.079 --> 00:51:38.400
divorced, you know, and going
through that scenario and a bad divorce and

670
00:51:38.480 --> 00:51:43.239
stuff and all the crap that piles
up on one. But then I remember

671
00:51:43.360 --> 00:51:47.159
watching it again after I had my
child, my first daughter in nineteen eighty

672
00:51:47.199 --> 00:51:51.480
seven, and you know, me
and my her mother having two part ways,

673
00:51:52.079 --> 00:51:59.000
and it was only then that I
understood the whole exact scenario of how

674
00:51:59.199 --> 00:52:05.039
he was feeding in this divorce,
how she was feeling. But the one

675
00:52:05.079 --> 00:52:09.280
thing that I took from him now
was how my child would feel, because

676
00:52:09.320 --> 00:52:14.119
you go into the storyline of that
child being torn between the parents, you

677
00:52:14.239 --> 00:52:17.159
know, and it was like,
wow, now I really understand, of

678
00:52:17.280 --> 00:52:24.400
course, the whole ball and wax
of having a child and how important it

679
00:52:24.679 --> 00:52:29.800
is that when you make a decision
to love someone, you must love them

680
00:52:30.119 --> 00:52:35.840
unconditionally because nobody those children were never
asked to be brought into this situation,

681
00:52:36.119 --> 00:52:38.400
right, And you know what,
unfortunately in nineteen eighty four I found that

682
00:52:38.440 --> 00:52:43.360
out for myself as a as a
young kid. And we know, when

683
00:52:43.440 --> 00:52:47.360
my parents got a divorce, so
that movie ring true for me as well,

684
00:52:49.440 --> 00:52:52.679
but you're definitely right. I think
it was the beginning of the end

685
00:52:52.239 --> 00:52:59.719
of what was traditional, a traditional
look at traditional marriage. May twenty first,

686
00:53:00.400 --> 00:53:06.280
nineteen eighty, to change the ambiance
a little, the Empire Strikes Back

687
00:53:06.719 --> 00:53:09.199
is released in the United States,
and that, my friend, was the

688
00:53:09.320 --> 00:53:15.639
light of my year because ever since
the first one, Star Wars, I

689
00:53:15.960 --> 00:53:22.360
loved that type of film, that
type of science fiction. I wasn't a

690
00:53:22.440 --> 00:53:25.920
sci fi lover because I didn't like
Star Trek, but I didn't like any

691
00:53:27.000 --> 00:53:31.119
other movies, but something, it
was something. There was something interesting and

692
00:53:31.280 --> 00:53:36.519
something just so full of fantasy about
the Star Wars saga. And then when

693
00:53:36.519 --> 00:53:40.159
they came up with and very exciting
at that aspect because it was Star Wars

694
00:53:40.639 --> 00:53:46.800
and Return of the Jedi were kind
of like a Western type balance of a

695
00:53:46.960 --> 00:53:52.679
movie, kind of that setting.
You know, the storyline, the bad

696
00:53:52.719 --> 00:53:55.920
against the good guy. You've got
weapons, you've got a bunch of troops

697
00:53:57.000 --> 00:54:01.519
going out and whacking each other,
a complex war Western story, but in

698
00:54:01.679 --> 00:54:07.079
in sci fi mode, you know, modern day president. Yeah, The

699
00:54:07.639 --> 00:54:14.159
Empire Strikes Back was incredible, especially
because the most iconic phrase probably in all

700
00:54:14.239 --> 00:54:17.639
of cinema history. One of them, anyway, was said here and that

701
00:54:17.920 --> 00:54:24.320
and that is the scene where we
find out that Luke Skywalker is Darth Vader's

702
00:54:24.800 --> 00:54:29.559
son. So that that made a
mark. None of us could believe it.

703
00:54:29.719 --> 00:54:32.880
We were like, what Darth Vader
is the father? See? And

704
00:54:32.960 --> 00:54:37.559
then that just opened up the storyline
for for all these other stories. Yeah,

705
00:54:37.840 --> 00:54:40.760
you know, now, I think
they've gone a little bit too far

706
00:54:40.920 --> 00:54:46.960
on some of the more recent Star
Wars endeavors they've done, but it was

707
00:54:47.159 --> 00:54:52.519
very joyful to watch how the story
unraveled. Yeah, I'll still watch them.

708
00:54:52.639 --> 00:54:55.440
I don't agree with what Disney has
done to the whole thing, but

709
00:54:55.559 --> 00:55:01.440
anyway, that's a totally different show. How could you not watch Star Trek

710
00:55:01.719 --> 00:55:07.800
Captain's log I am Captain. I
watched a few episodes, but I was

711
00:55:07.599 --> 00:55:12.159
always bored of that show. I
did watch him like I would force myself

712
00:55:12.239 --> 00:55:15.039
to watch him. The only one
I liked it, that's probably because I

713
00:55:15.079 --> 00:55:21.159
was a little pervert, was the
one where doctor Spock starts having a thing

714
00:55:21.239 --> 00:55:23.280
with some green girl. I was
always into that. I remember, I

715
00:55:23.360 --> 00:55:25.679
wanted to be out. It's always
into that show. I always wanted to

716
00:55:25.679 --> 00:55:29.360
be Captain kirk Man. He was
always making out with jicks. He was

717
00:55:29.400 --> 00:55:31.400
the hot dude. He was like
the badass captain. He had the cool

718
00:55:31.480 --> 00:55:35.480
hair. He could beat up everybody
and then he was like Captain's log.

719
00:55:36.400 --> 00:55:39.440
James C. Could have heared.
You know, interesting that we talked about

720
00:55:40.159 --> 00:55:44.519
Star Wars and the whole you you
mentioned it. It was kind of like

721
00:55:44.599 --> 00:55:49.239
a cowboy thing going on, very
reminiscent of what's going on today where it

722
00:55:49.440 --> 00:55:54.159
was the Empire against the rebels.
Ah. So, very good analogy right

723
00:55:54.159 --> 00:55:57.880
there. My brother think on that
for a little Bhi. So who would

724
00:55:57.960 --> 00:56:04.320
Darth Vader be? And is dark
or is he r well? No,

725
00:56:04.480 --> 00:56:08.760
I think the Emperor Palpatine. The
Emperor Palpatine is one that we can go

726
00:56:08.920 --> 00:56:13.360
for and try to get somebody that
looks like him. In the meantime,

727
00:56:14.280 --> 00:56:19.199
this has been not the Empire strikes
back, but back to the eighties.

728
00:56:19.639 --> 00:56:23.079
I am Tuscano from Tuscano and Chang, and you've been listening to nineteen eighty

729
00:56:23.159 --> 00:56:27.159
as we have been discussing here.
It's been great, Chang, but we

730
00:56:27.280 --> 00:56:30.000
just don't have enough. We may
have to do a part two because there's

731
00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:32.920
just so much going on here,
you know, we'd never covered. We'd

732
00:56:32.960 --> 00:56:37.320
have to spend a whole year talking
about nineteen eighty. I just want to

733
00:56:37.400 --> 00:56:40.760
let you guys know that during this
week you be safe out there, both

734
00:56:42.119 --> 00:56:45.760
for your health and for your emotional
state of being. Don't forget that we're

735
00:56:45.800 --> 00:56:52.079
still brothers and sisters, and don't
let politics come in the way of you

736
00:56:53.320 --> 00:56:58.599
lending a helping hand if need be. We're all the same. So on

737
00:56:58.719 --> 00:57:02.719
that note, we we'll see you
next Friday. Well we can talk about

738
00:57:04.079 --> 00:57:07.159
the events of this week. This
is back to the eighties. God bless

739
00:57:07.360 --> 00:57:10.079
Chang here. Before I release you
to another beautiful weekend, I want you

740
00:57:10.119 --> 00:57:14.639
all to be chang bona fide,
and remember, don't let hate be your

741
00:57:14.679 --> 00:57:19.000
fate. Don't join the asses and
the masses out there. Think for yourself,

742
00:57:19.119 --> 00:57:21.719
keep a smile on your face.
Tomorrow could be a better day.

743
00:57:22.119 --> 00:57:23.960
Before we go out, I want
to tell everybody out there to have a

744
00:57:24.159 --> 00:57:31.039
very very special weekend. No matter
what they say could happen, go out

745
00:57:31.079 --> 00:57:35.320
there and just live it and love
it. You know, don't let the

746
00:57:35.559 --> 00:57:38.280
fear take over, but be cautious, be aware, and just watch out
