Tuscano, and I've got to my

all our friends, in beautiful AVIAI

our good friends out in the UK. You know who you're all, may

18
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:48.560
Hey, And I also want to
throw out a special shout out right now

19
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:53.799
to anybody wearing just pajama bottoms,
commando underwear, doesn't matter. Socks,

20
00:01:53.920 --> 00:02:00.599
no socks, booties like Tuscano would
wear, footies like Toscano would wear,

21
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:07.400
but just your good old fashioned janny
bottoms. Sweats don't count, Toscano,

22
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:10.120
No they don't. And I am
wearing the low cut socks again, or

23
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:13.319
as you like to call them,
to booties. I want to give a

24
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:17.039
big shout out to everyone listening to
us, both here in the US and

25
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:21.520
abroad, in every single country that
listens to us, and as we do

26
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:23.199
every week, I want to give
a big shout out to those who are

27
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:27.719
listening to us directly from Australia.
Believe it or not, We've got listeners

28
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.599
in Morocco, in New Zealand,
We've got people in Israel, we got

29
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:37.840
people everywhere. Today is a fantastic
program because you given us the topic to

30
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.719
talk about today. We posted a
question a few days ago on our eighties

31
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:46.240
Facebook page, and the question was
which was your favorite cartoon of the eighties.

32
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:51.400
We got an overwhelming response. I
mean, thousands of people commented,

33
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:53.800
and we're just very excited. There's
just too much to talk about. And

34
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:58.120
today when we come back from the
break, we're gonna be talking about cartoons

35
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.759
of the eighties and a lot more
our nonsense here on the one and only

36
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:05.360
Back to the Eighties. Don't go
away. Hey, some of you remember

37
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:08.840
the eighties five right, Well,
it lives loud and proud on back to

38
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:19.719
the eighties with my pals to Scotto
and Chang. We are back Chang.

39
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.879
This is the one and only back
to the eighties. As you know,

40
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:29.000
and some of my fellow Saint Benetic
Bruins and Monto Babble Oiler alumni that are

41
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:34.319
listening to the show will say,
I was already a teenager when we got

42
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:38.800
into the eighties, so my knowledge
of cartoons is going to be a little

43
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:40.960
bit off. I will be able
to jump in here and there because I

44
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:46.560
did have children in the eighties and
we did watch some of those lamer cartoons

45
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:52.080
that I would have to sit around
in my jam zies and watch with my

46
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.199
kids. But before we go into
that, I do want to give you

47
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:59.919
one kind of sad news and that
is related to the eighties because this following

48
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.840
singer lost his son, and this
singer was a very popular singer in the

49
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:08.400
eighties, and that's Bobby Brown.
His son of twenty eight years old.

50
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:14.039
Bobby Brown Junior, was found dead
in his home in Los Angeles Police Department

51
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.800
responded to a call for a medical
emergency on Wednesday at around one fifty pm

52
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:21.720
and he was pronounced dead there no
foul play was suspected. Whitney Houston passed

53
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:27.160
away, then the daughter passed away
in the same way, and now his

54
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:31.040
son it wasn't Whitney's son. But
still, nevertheless, you know, you

55
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:35.360
wonder what some of these people are
into because there's just too much coincidence,

56
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:41.720
too many family members dying there.
You know what, it's sad that he

57
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:45.920
loses another family I remember. I
mean, my heart goes out for her

58
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:49.240
and him or anyone that loses a
child. I mean, that's a loss

59
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:55.560
and hurt that I can't even a
man, And I prayed to the Great

60
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:59.600
Spirit above that I never have to
ever endure that kind of thing. But

61
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.120
I think really quick that a lot
of kids that get brought up with a

62
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:08.560
lot of money, riches, famous
parents, or even a little bit of

63
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:12.680
fame themselves. They get trapped in
their ego, and their ego allows so

64
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.600
many demons to fly in and out
of their lives. Again, our hearts

65
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:20.920
go out to Bobby Brown's family at
this particular moment, and it's very it's

66
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:26.759
sad to hear for anybody that loses
a child. Yeah, exactly off of

67
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:29.120
the bad news. All right,
So we ask you guys, what was

68
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:31.879
your favorite cartoon of the eighties.
Now, I do want to make a

69
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:35.560
little caveat here, a little side
note. There were a lot of cartoons

70
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:40.120
that they played in the eighties that
weren't from the eighties. They were from

71
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:43.680
the sixties and seventies. Some of
those cartoons that come to mind are a

72
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:46.839
set of cartoons that I used to
watch, for example, Wait Till Your

73
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.480
Father Gets Home, which from the
seventies. Also, you know, the

74
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:55.519
more of the kiddy cartoons like Mighty
Mouse and Heckel and Jekyl and you know,

75
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.040
and they still played those in the
eighties. I mean, we that

76
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.759
were you know, that did watch
cartoons in the eighties will remember that a

77
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:08.319
lot of those like Tom and Jerry, we used to watch so much of

78
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:12.439
that because even though it was the
age of decadends and at the beginning of

79
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:15.399
the eighties, man, it still
had so much, so much of the

80
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:21.680
sixties and seventies still in the programming, if you recall. But so,

81
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:25.720
we asked you guys, what was
your favorite cartoon of the eighties, and

82
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:29.279
you guys responded, And I want
to read to you, guys some of

83
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:31.920
the ones that you guys chose and
see how many of you guys agree,

84
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:35.959
don't agree. But I've got a
list here of some of the best cartoons

85
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:39.680
of the eighties, in no particular
order. But let's start with the very

86
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:44.519
first one. The very first one
that we have here is a cartoon that

87
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:50.000
brought three little chipmunks together. And
although this threesome of cartoon characters isn't new,

88
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:55.839
whoa boy, we hear, go
back to the eighties. Do not

89
00:06:55.959 --> 00:07:00.399
condone the talking of the threesome.
Well, now down, I want you

90
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:03.319
to listen. Off the nuts.
Don't take this the other way. Hang

91
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:23.959
on, that's right. The series
returned into television screens in nineteen eighty three

92
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:27.639
after they took a hiatus, and
ran until nineteen ninety. Believe it or

93
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:32.720
not fans are gonna remember. They're
gonna remember it's cracking opening theme, as

94
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:41.319
well as the introduction of the Chippetts
Brittany, Jeanette and Eleanor. I used

95
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:46.319
to think they were like the Chipmunk
sang, they were like the strawberries of

96
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:50.879
the Chipmunk World. I can recall
both those shows. Like I said,

97
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:55.920
you know, I had mentioned some
of the cartoons that were brought in to

98
00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:58.600
the eighties, but they were from
the seventies. One of those I had

99
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:03.360
totally forgot about this. There was
a set of cartoons called Laugh Olympics.

100
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.759
Do you remember this, Yes,
I do remember watching this. Yeah.

101
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:11.079
It brings a bunch of different characters, you know, Scooby Doobies, Yogi,

102
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:18.759
and specifically a blue dog called Mutley
who used to laugh. Yeah,

103
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.279
yeah, I remember Mutley. Mutley
was you know, I have a pit

104
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:28.240
bull like Mutley. Mutley was a
crafty dog. Mutley could drive cars.

105
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:33.080
Nice. That's right. It was
a television series produced by Hannah Barbera Productions,

106
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:37.759
and it premiered on ABC in nineteen
seventy seven and they still have reruns

107
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.679
way into the eighties. That is
also the cartoon network that brought out Dudley

108
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:48.919
do right, am I correct?
Yes, yes, oh, thank you.

109
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:56.200
Now, you guys will recall there
was a cartoon called Tom Tom Slip,

110
00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:00.799
and this is I believe this was
also a seventies cartoon that well,

111
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:05.759
that when went into the eighties as
well, so some of the other cartoons

112
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.639
that were for the younger, younger
audience. This one, this following one

113
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:13.360
went from nineteen eighty seventeen nineteen ninety
and I want to let you hear it

114
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:18.159
because I don't think you were into
this chang exactly, but the adventures of

115
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.799
Scrooge McDuck and his grand nephews Huey
Dewey and Louie. Oh, I remember,

116
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:26.919
I remember this. I would tell
my girl not to watch that garbage.

117
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:33.960
Today is the official jang you're gonna
be You're gonna be the hater today.

118
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:37.480
Well, here's here's something more that
you can hate from nineteen eighty six

119
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:43.080
to nineteen ninety one. See if
you can tell me which this animated spinoff

120
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:54.639
was after who Are You Gonna Call? That's right, it was the animated

121
00:09:54.720 --> 00:10:05.360
spinoff of the hits in nineteen eighty
four of Ghostbusters. Now did you watch

122
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:09.320
this cartoon cartoon? Saskato. You
know what I I don't. I don't

123
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:13.240
think so, because by this time
I was already nineteen, you know,

124
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:18.279
and maybe nineteen eighty six I could
have watched, but I still think at

125
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:20.440
that time it was a little bit
too childish for me. Right now,

126
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:24.759
this you said, correct? Well, no, it was a cartoon based

127
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:31.919
off of nineteen eighty four's hit film
The Ghostbusters. When did the cartoon come

128
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:35.840
out? Of nineteen eighty six?
And it went on to nineteen ninety one,

129
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:39.919
and I was at a beer bong
party with this cartoon. Yeah,

130
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:45.399
I think that's when I had started
going out to parties in nineteen eighty seven

131
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:48.519
and things like that. So I
don't know how much attention I put or

132
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:52.320
I placed on cartoons like this,
but I do want to mention a couple

133
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:54.799
of things before we go on.
If you just joined us, we're talking

134
00:10:54.799 --> 00:11:00.480
about cartoons of the eighties. The
choices were made by you, the listeners

135
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.840
and our Facebook followers, so thank
you very much for doing that. And

136
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:09.200
I did want to mention a few
of the names. Let's go with Brian

137
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:16.600
Cathran. Brian Cothran said Silverhawks,
Mask Brave Star Transformers, and then he

138
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:20.000
went on to say, there's too
many to lists, but he said,

139
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:24.000
now, the very first choice that
he had here was probably one of my

140
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:28.440
favorite cartoons of the eighties because it
was he Man. My nephew used to

141
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:33.039
watching Man along with the Ninja Turtles. Heman came out in eight nineteen eighty

142
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:37.600
three, and believe it or not, believe it or not, it only

143
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:41.159
had one hundred and thirty episodes,
only two seasons. That's it, only

144
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:45.639
two seasons. The interesting thing is, although it went on from eighty three

145
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:50.720
to eighty five, there is now
a cult following after this cartoon. There

146
00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:54.559
are people today watching it. You
can watch it on Netflix and really,

147
00:11:54.679 --> 00:12:03.480
yeah, this thing, Come on, don't be a hater. I hate

148
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:07.759
that and I hate that more.
Are they sitting around with he Man haircuts

149
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:13.879
and his attire? That? But
it doesn't help to God not, I

150
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:18.960
don't even want to envision that Toscano. Nobody is doing that, but they

151
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:22.200
are, you know, reminiscing.
These are people who miss the eighties just

152
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:24.080
like just like we do. I
mean, that's why we have the show,

153
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:28.799
right, and so we can't be
that much of a hater. Well,

154
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.840
you know what, Tonald, I
do miss putting my pants over my

155
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.279
head for my hands through the legs. But I don't continue doing it.

156
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:39.200
Did you ever put up braw in
your head? Yes? And I walked

157
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:43.120
around and I talked like Mickey Mouse. All right. John Kaufman said that

158
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:52.960
his favorite cartoon back then was Gi
Joe. Yeah, fight for freedom.

159
00:12:54.039 --> 00:13:05.679
Wherever there's trouble, Gi Joe.
Gijo was there Gi Joe against the enemy,

160
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:11.039
fighting to save Jane. You never
can suffer these always. Now,

161
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:13.480
I know that's going to bring back
a lot, a lot of memories.

162
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:18.879
But Gi Joe was one of those
cartoons that people went nuts for. I

163
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:24.000
mean people went nuts for Gijo.
If you recall, or if you don't

164
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:30.440
recall, Gijoe was about an elite
unit of soldiers and the leader of this

165
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:33.919
terrorist organization. His name was Cobra. Now, you were one that collected

166
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:39.240
Gi Joe when they first popped up
onto the scene, weren't you? But

167
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:43.559
you had the big Gijoe right,
Yes, I had the twelve inch Gi

168
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:48.360
Joe action figures along with vehicles,
weapons, tense parachutes, sharks, bears,

169
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:54.240
tigers, you name it. But
my nephew used to buy Gi Joe

170
00:13:54.279 --> 00:14:01.080
and I remember going down and buying
him. I mean probably every little military

171
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:05.200
unit that you could get on Gi
Joe, Because I mean I was an

172
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:07.720
action figure kid. I used to
play with the gay with action figures called

173
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:13.320
Heroes an action maybe some of them, some of our listeners will identify with,

174
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:16.360
you know, Tiscano as a little
boy. The action figure becomes more

175
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:24.080
than just a plastic toy that is
movable and interchangeable. I mean, because

176
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:28.200
you get into the characters, you
change your voice as you're making them talk,

177
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:33.559
or you do bomb noises. It's
always pretty cool to get all the

178
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:39.039
little revolvers and all the weaponry,
the guns, the rifles, the flamethrowers,

179
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:43.360
all kinds of crazy trick little cars. I mean Gi Joe. If

180
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:48.120
I could play with Gi Joe,
even in that facet, I would do

181
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:50.399
it to the day. As a
matter of fact, when my little nephew

182
00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:52.120
comes out to visit me out here
in my family, I'll get down and

183
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:54.840
I'll play Action Heroes with them.
I would do it with my grandson,

184
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:58.200
but now my grandson's a little bit
too big to want to get down and

185
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:05.200
dirty. But I think g I
Joe made the boys creative mind even bigger

186
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:09.720
with the cartoon as opposed to just
the toys. It made probably a lot

187
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:11.919
of those toys come to life,
so a lot of kids would enjoy it

188
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:15.480
even more. Yeah, and they
sold like crazy, you know. I

189
00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:18.200
remember having why the number of these
action figures. You know, as I

190
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:22.080
mentioned on a previous show, my
mom ended up giving most of my toys

191
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:26.720
away, So I was pretty bummed
out about that. But you know what

192
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:30.360
it is, what it is,
It was just a great, great action

193
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:35.399
cartoon. Cartoons back then really made
your mind sore and it made you live.

194
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.240
It's like you were living in a
fantasyland. It's just so different from

195
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:43.639
today. You know, kids today
are so involved with their electronics, whether

196
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.600
it be their phone, their tablets, or their TV. They're so into

197
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:52.759
it. They stopped being children,
right. I think a lot of their

198
00:15:52.879 --> 00:16:00.080
games and their cartoons are more pro
violent and more protein type of life and

199
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:06.600
activity and the way that they talk
and stuff. So I think the kids

200
00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:14.080
nowadays are really missing that good old
fashion entertained mindless entertainment without making them mindless.

201
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:18.120
The way that technology is making children
a little bit mindless and thoughtless and

202
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:21.240
less aware. Oh, I don't
know if you agree. With that one

203
00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:25.840
hundred percent. Man, I remember
that you were allowed to be a kid.

204
00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:30.480
You didn't. You weren't introduced into
anything that was for adults back then.

205
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:36.240
You were only introduced to whatever was
age appropriate. And now I mean

206
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:38.399
from there when they're little kids.
You see these little kids, they parents

207
00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:42.519
give them their own phone and automatically, and their parents don't even search everything

208
00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:48.679
that they're looking on their phones,
and so they're introduced to who knows what.

209
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:53.000
That innocence, that whatever it was
that made us made us click into

210
00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:56.919
into that fantasy land is gone.
They don't get to have I agree,

211
00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:02.440
so many things that we did,
and a shame, Connell. My grandchildren

212
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:04.559
have better phones than me. I'm
like, yeah, little creef, what

213
00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:07.000
are you doing with this? You
know, I want to go back to

214
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:12.000
the days of a pager exactly all
of us remember that what was your favorite,

215
00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:18.240
uh, really quick, your favorite
little set of your Gi Joe collection?

216
00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:22.599
Was it the anti tank gun?
Was it? Maybe one of the

217
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:26.279
jeeps Cobra's vehicles. But I didn't
like the bad guys. I like the

218
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:29.720
good guys, and in particular I
liked oh, I believe it was storm

219
00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:33.400
Shadow that was my favorite character.
Okay, yeah, and I always I

220
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:37.680
always, you know, I always
pretended I got Storm Shadow and what was

221
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:40.319
the girl's name, I forget her
name, but I would get both of

222
00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:42.839
them and have them hide in certain
areas by themselves. If you know what

223
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:49.200
I mean. You know you're you're
preaching to the choir. I remember really

224
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:53.920
quick when I would play with my
Gijo's Kung Fruit Brip and lifelong Hair.

225
00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:59.839
They would go on furloughs and they
would go and have their way with Barb

226
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:03.880
in the hotel and beat the crap
out of kids. So I know exactly

227
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:07.839
where you're going with on that one, my brother, Yeah, I mean

228
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:11.920
Gjoe. When it started to begin
with a two five part mini series in

229
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:15.480
nineteen eighty three and nineteen eighty four, but then it became a regular series

230
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:18.359
that ran into syndication from eighty five
to eighty six, and kids loved following

231
00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:22.920
the adventures of the team. You
know, I know that the whole commercial

232
00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:29.240
pr around it is to learn to
be a hard working American man and woman,

233
00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:33.039
you know, fighting threats of against
freedom all over the world. But

234
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:34.119
as a kid, you're not into
that guy. As a kid, you

235
00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:40.279
were into this is Gijoe, you
know, American soldiers and we're fighting against

236
00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:45.799
Cobra and some other evil entities.
So that's what that's what we were into.

237
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:49.200
And you know what's funny, Cobra
to us two kids, the bad

238
00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:53.759
guy really didn't have a ethnicity,
right, that's kind of I'm gonna say

239
00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:56.759
it. Maybe maybe some people think
I'm a little weird, but that's kind

240
00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:02.799
of the beauty of being a kid. You don't know any prejudice except good

241
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:06.359
against evil. Yeah. I wasn't
aware of any parents telling him, look,

242
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:10.559
Cobra is from this country or from
that country. No, they just

243
00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:14.359
said Cobra is a bad guy and
his evil organization. Period we thought,

244
00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:17.400
I mean, I thought Cobra was
just you know, somebody who was from

245
00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:21.079
the United States that just went rogue
and that's about it. Yeah, so

246
00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:26.440
did I. But he was quite
handsome. Here's another one. I'm gonna

247
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:33.880
let you listen to the beginning of
this theme song. Well. This following

248
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:38.480
cartoon was from ninety nineteen eighty six
and it was an animated television series produced

249
00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:45.039
by DIC. It was based on
the M A. S K Mask action

250
00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:55.400
figures produced by Kenner and People Went
Nuts when Mask the TV series came out,

251
00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:59.160
I remember what I would give dic
and I thought it was dick.

252
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:06.880
It always had at the end.
But I don't know if you'll remember this,

253
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:14.359
but a lot of people will.
We'll get nostalgic when they hear this.

254
00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:26.640
This. One of the cool things
about Mask theme song was that the

255
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:33.759
music actually sounded like it was produced
by some hair band. Yes, exactly,

256
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:37.319
doesn't it. Yeah, it sounded
like something that you would hear in

257
00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:45.680
them like the Karate Kid. Yeah. Yeah, Like you're supposed to be

258
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:51.599
the bad guy, exact guy,
bad boy, but yet the music says

259
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:56.640
you're a weenie because you put awkwa
nuts in your hair, and you wear

260
00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:03.039
spandex and you wear leg warmers.
Great play electrical instruments that aren't plugged in.

261
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:10.839
Great great show Mask. A lot
of people remember Mask, and you

262
00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:14.839
know, it's just one of those
shows that, unfortunately the new generations will

263
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:18.480
never know what we had. All
Right, So we're gonna take a quick

264
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:22.759
break. When we come back,
we're gonna be talking more cartoons and hopefully

265
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:30.119
some goodies in store. Don't go
away. You're listening to back to the

266
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:34.680
eighties, hey By Pal's Tuscano and
Chang went to school in the eighties and

267
00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:38.680
that was cool. But now they're
going back. That's right, and you

268
00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:45.559
can tag along with back to the
eighties radio. I'm captain loggin signor a

269
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:56.680
cruise. You're listening to Back to
the eighties, all right, everybody,

270
00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:02.160
welcome back to the Tuscano and Chang
attack. On the show we called back

271
00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:06.279
to the eighties. We are talking
cartoons taking you back to your childhood.

272
00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:08.880
Maybe some of you would didn't get
to have a childhood, but that's another

273
00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:17.559
show. I'm sure bears countdown four, three, two, coming from somewhere

274
00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:33.839
fire, that's right, from nineteen
eighty five guests who we're talking about,

275
00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:41.200
that's right. We're talking about those
cuddly, lovable, colorful care Bears,

276
00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:47.160
right, the poor teletubby baby,
that's right. And do you remember it

277
00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:52.880
was so cool because out of their
every every character of the care Bears a

278
00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:56.799
little identifier, you know, they
had something in their in their belly,

279
00:22:56.119 --> 00:23:02.119
whether it be a heart or a
sunshine, a rainbow, you know,

280
00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:06.680
et cetera. And that meant that
they had powers, right, certain certain

281
00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:08.880
powers, and they were always I
mean the main theme of the show was

282
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:15.240
to spread love and We definitely don't
have anything similar to that today. I

283
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:19.519
don't know. Now, yeah we
can. We can sure use them now,

284
00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:22.720
man, a lot of us adults
we need a little bit of the

285
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:27.880
care Bears right now. And then
you mentioned a little bit earlier a show

286
00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:56.839
that was basically from nineteen eighty seven, Show the World. That's right,

287
00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:04.440
from nineteen eighty seven. That was
the ever so popular Ninja Turtles theme song.

288
00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:08.480
You can't forget the Ninja Turtles.
It was a trip because when I

289
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:15.799
first stumbled uponsit Ninja Turtles, it
was my nephew Eddie, but he was

290
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:18.720
very much into the Ninja Turtles,
and I would play Ninja Turtles with him

291
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:19.640
and I would buy him the figures. I mean, he had the whole

292
00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:25.039
collection. But if you think about
it, who would have thought that you

293
00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:29.480
got a bunch of roided out turtles. Yeah, that got some kind of

294
00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:33.880
chemical change in them. And then
they were led by a rat, a

295
00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:37.799
rat. It was after all in
New York City. And don't forget there

296
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:42.359
weren't just any roided out ninja turtles. They were you know, Brooklyn style

297
00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:45.240
ninja turtles, if you know what
I'm saying. Yeah, and they ate

298
00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:48.880
pizza. I bet you that made
you giddy as a young boy. Oh

299
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:52.599
that made me happy. Although you
know what, I gotta be honest once

300
00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:56.480
again, this came out eighty six, eighty seven. It was just around

301
00:24:56.519 --> 00:24:59.839
the time that. Yeah, it
was just around the time that I started,

302
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:04.400
you know, losing interest in a
lot of the the younger set cartoons,

303
00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:08.279
and I was more, you know, into going out with my friends

304
00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:11.079
and partying. I was going out
to golf and stuff, you know,

305
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:15.039
just having that kind of fun.
But yeah, Ninja Turtles was not only

306
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:21.519
popular in the cartoon as a franchise, but man, they started they got

307
00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:25.319
action figures, they got plush toys, and they were even on the box

308
00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:29.160
Cereal boxes. Do you remember that, Yes, yes, I remember seeing

309
00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:33.920
that. Yeah, Ninja Turtles I
think was probably one of the more popular

310
00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:38.519
iconic shows and toys back in the
eighties because, you know, you had

311
00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:42.839
the toughness of the Ninja turtle being
able to whoop anybody's ass, going to

312
00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:48.960
get good and evil, and it
was kind of kooky the way that we

313
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:55.240
grew up with watching animals simulate life
like they were human beings. Ninja Turtles.

314
00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:56.880
You know, I'm not gonna go
I'm not gonna lie. I was

315
00:25:56.920 --> 00:26:00.640
a big fan of Ninja Turtles,
and I was already, like I say,

316
00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:03.200
I was already a teenager. This
came out in eighty seven. Yeah,

317
00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:08.440
I was already twenty years old and
awaiting the arrival of my child.

318
00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:11.759
I like how you said I was
a teenager. I was a teenager.

319
00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:18.200
I was twenty years old and expecting
a child. Got to throw that in,

320
00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:19.880
Well, I was just going to
be twenty. Well that's that's the

321
00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:26.240
oldest teenager I've ever heard of.
Oh my goodness, I can tell you

322
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:30.720
this though. When The Ninja Turtles
became a live action movie, that's when

323
00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:33.000
I got interested in the Ninja Turtles
because I did like the movies when they

324
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:37.039
first came out. And now you
look at you know, you look back

325
00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:40.640
at the original movie they came out, you go mad. That was cheesy.

326
00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:42.880
That sucked for the time, it
was some good stuff going on.

327
00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:48.359
I still like to watch the old
Ninja Turtle movies. Call me a sap,

328
00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:51.680
call me jac if you want.
But dude, I get a kick

329
00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:53.240
out of them. Still, I
don't care how cheesy they looked. Dude,

330
00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:59.359
it was just pretty badass. Seeing
some catch and turtle uniforms knocking the

331
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:03.640
crap out of people. Marshal Artz
Dog Broll. Here's another cartoon that was

332
00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:07.880
recommended that we talk about that came
out, But this was a long running

333
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:12.640
one because it was an animated series
based off of George Gantley's daily comic strip.

334
00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:15.960
So this was based off of a
comic strip. And I'll let you

335
00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:18.400
listen to the theme song and see
if you can guess who that was.

336
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:36.359
But he just won't be undone ranks
on everyone. Now, this was one

337
00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:41.680
of those cartoons that, you know, it brought us Heathcliff and Heathcliff was

338
00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:48.440
always getting into various battles and adventures
with with Spike the dog. And remember

339
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:52.920
Heathcliff as a cat and Spike was
a big bulldog and Heathcliff was always,

340
00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:56.519
you know, Heathcliff was the bully. It goes back to like a Tom

341
00:27:56.599 --> 00:28:00.839
and Jerry scenario. Kind of reminded
me of Garfield. And there's another cartoon,

342
00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:06.240
you know, Garfield the Cat.
But Garfield was kind of an obnoxious,

343
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:10.240
kind of egotistical little son of a
pussy cat, you know what I'm

344
00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:14.440
saying. He was like a cat
certain like yeah, Garfield was like a

345
00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:18.200
real cat. I'm not a big
cat person myself. I really fancy the

346
00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:22.240
dogs. As a matter of fact, I have two American pit bulls.

347
00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:26.519
Yes you do, hey, By
the way, I was meaning to ask,

348
00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:27.759
I was meaning to ask you for
those of you who don't know.

349
00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:32.880
I just saw a post with Chang
and a beautiful is it a blue nose

350
00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:34.799
pit bull? Because it's half white
and half gray? Is that? Is

351
00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:38.000
that a puppy? Did you just
get that? Yeah, that's that's a

352
00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:41.759
puppy. Bro. He is eight
weeks old. Ways eleven pounds. Oh

353
00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:47.119
at eight weeks old? Yeah?
What the heck are you feeding it?

354
00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:48.440
Oh? We give him steroids,
bro, And we give him some be

355
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:52.119
twelve shots. Me and him take
off to the gym. We do some

356
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:56.079
cardio in the morning before I go
to work, and then we hit the

357
00:28:56.160 --> 00:28:57.359
speedbag. What kind of what?
What is it? That? Isn't that

358
00:28:57.519 --> 00:29:02.160
normal? For? No? I
don't people that I did see. I

359
00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:06.319
did see the picture of your dog. And even my wife asked me,

360
00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:08.480
she goes, is that a puppy? And I didn't know what she was

361
00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:11.240
talking about. I go, No, that dog's been with Chang for a

362
00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:15.359
while and she goes what you thought
she was talking about? Chance? Exactly

363
00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:19.799
my base. And yes, now
chat, Chance has been with me,

364
00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:25.839
i'd say seven years. He's going
on nine years old now. And uh

365
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:29.400
yeah, we just got this puppy. I named him Jack Teller after my

366
00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:33.279
favorite show, which you remember was
a Sons of Anarchy, Right yeah,

367
00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:37.440
Jack's Jacks is the addition to the
Chang family. Now that's a rather long

368
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:41.279
name, isn't it. Jack Teller. You're gonna call it like that?

369
00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:45.759
Come here, Jack Teller, Jack
Teller, please call now attack Jacks Teller,

370
00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:51.400
Jack Teller. It sounds like,
oh, hello, we must get

371
00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:56.799
Jack Teller to come and do the
show for the old dience, to just

372
00:29:56.039 --> 00:30:03.160
tell her it was a rather ravishing. Is that that beautiful Jack's Teller we're

373
00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:11.480
talking about. He's such a delight
of scope for the eyes? Oh can

374
00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:15.640

00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:21.960
ballooney you now, jeez, you
should. You're going to come around here

376
00:30:22.079 --> 00:30:26.759
acting like Jack's chilla. You could
just be gone with yourself. Oh,

377
00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:30.440
Jack's Teller. Well, the pup
is beautiful. The pup is beautiful,

378
00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:34.759
but he's got blue eyes. Bro. Yeah, it's it's a blue nose

379
00:30:34.920 --> 00:30:37.599
right. Oh yes, brother.
As a matter of fact, anybody that

380
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:41.920
chimes into the show, hey,
hit us on Facebook and I'll post a

381
00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:48.319
picture of me and Jack's teller as
we make our way across this beautiful God's

382
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:52.359
country called Earth. But anyway,
we digressed talking about dogs because we were

383
00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:57.240
talking about Spike in Heathcliff. I
can't tell you that. Another set of

384
00:30:57.440 --> 00:31:03.240
cartoons that brought us. Do you
remember Chippindale's Rescue Rangers. Now this is

385
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:07.039
from nineteen eighty nine. At eighty
nine, that's almost going into ninety,

386
00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:10.319
but I recall them. Yes.
It was a comedy television series. You

387
00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:15.079
know. It was produced by Disney, and it brought us Chippindale's adventures at

388
00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:19.000
Chippendale. I hate Disney. Ain't
going to the turfstock, I hate.

389
00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:42.599
Here's another one from the eighties.
I just totals from Mountain. Can you

390
00:31:42.880 --> 00:32:00.200
guess what opening theme song that was
for? You can't guess it, can

391
00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:06.400
you? I knew it. I
knew it well, believe it or not.

392
00:32:06.519 --> 00:32:09.799
This was probably one of the longest
running series for children. It ran

393
00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:15.880
from September twelfth, nineteen eighty one. To December second, nineteen eighty nine,

394
00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:20.200
which is a long run. Wow, it was none other than the

395
00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:23.559
Smurfs. Oh, how could I
have missed that? And that was a

396
00:32:23.640 --> 00:32:28.480
cartoon my girls used to watch.
Oh yeah, you want to hear something

397
00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:31.200
funny about the Smurfs. There was
a urban legend, let's call it,

398
00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:37.880
some type of an urban legend going
on around the LA area. It made

399
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:40.839
its way south of the border.
When I tell you what it was,

400
00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:45.279
it's it's hilarious. It turns out
no, no, well we're talking about

401
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:50.480
Smurfs, right. So it turns
out that back then there were these you

402
00:32:50.559 --> 00:32:53.680
know, there was these two families
and they bought their kids everything Smurfs.

403
00:32:53.880 --> 00:33:00.519
I mean everything smurfs. Their bed
had smurfs, their pillows, their carpet,

404
00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:04.400
their you know, their curtains,
They had plush toys. I mean

405
00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:07.400
they had the entire collection. The
one case, supposedly it came out on

406
00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:10.000
all the news channels. I never
saw it, but I did hear the

407
00:33:10.119 --> 00:33:14.359
rumor. So the kid is I
want to say, three years old,

408
00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:16.119
two or three years old, night
after night, I mean morning after morning,

409
00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:21.599
he could have been telling his mom
and dad that the Smurfs at night

410
00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:24.039
would hit him right, they would
hit him on the head. So his

411
00:33:24.279 --> 00:33:29.480
mom and dad, you know,
didn't believe him. And one day he

412
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:34.119
tells the kid the parents, you
know, the Smurfs said that they're going

413
00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:37.319
to kill me. Wow. Yeah, And the next morning, the two

414
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:43.319
or three year old didn't wake up. He had a plastic bag over his

415
00:33:43.480 --> 00:33:45.920
head and he had asphyxiated with the
bag. There was a second case like

416
00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:50.720
that. We're evolving a little girl
with the tragic end as well. But

417
00:33:51.039 --> 00:33:54.440
they all blamed it on the figurines, and they never It wasn't the mom

418
00:33:54.559 --> 00:33:58.480
or the dad. It wasn't you
know, any one of the siblings.

419
00:33:58.920 --> 00:34:01.839
It was papa. They don't know
what happened. And it's a sad if

420
00:34:01.880 --> 00:34:05.799
it was true it was, It's
a sad story. But you know,

421
00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:09.079
the legend goes on that if you
collect any of the Smurfs, they come

422
00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:14.480
to life. Now this may be
a first for many, but I remember

423
00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:16.880
hearing that story when I was a
kid. I told my mom, can

424
00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:22.320
I have a bunch of Smurfs after
hearing the story, because I want them

425
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:27.800
to come to life? And well, I was going to stomp on him.

426
00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:52.079
Yeah. What eighties cartoon. This
was Well, that just told you

427
00:34:52.159 --> 00:35:02.119
the name. That was the one
and only Inspector Gadget nineteen eighty three with

428
00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:08.800
also a Deek entertainment Inspector Gadget.
I don't know if you do you ever

429
00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:13.960
see this cartoon? No, I
was already graduating. I would already been

430
00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:19.920
to the best goalie. Well,
I mean, okay, Well did your

431
00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:22.480
kids ever see this cartoon? No, my kids were not old enough buzz.

432
00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:25.639
They weren't even born as a matter
of fact, with this cartoon came

433
00:35:25.719 --> 00:35:30.559
up. But they still I mean, they still play the cartoon. Yeah,

434
00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:32.639
but my grandchildren never watched it.
No, all right, the grandchildren

435
00:35:32.679 --> 00:35:36.679
are chains remember. Well, I'm
going to tell you something because I don't

436
00:35:36.760 --> 00:35:40.000
know if you've never seen this cartoon. It was a goofy inspector. He

437
00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:44.559
was like a private eye and he
was he had a bunch of gadgets and

438
00:35:44.639 --> 00:35:49.559
he's always fighting crime and he was
just a clutch had a huge nose,

439
00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:54.639
and he dressed kind of like the
Pink Panther but like Columbo. Yeah.

440
00:35:54.880 --> 00:36:00.360
But here's the interesting thing. The
voice actor do you remember who he was?

441
00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:07.360
He was the actor who was the
star of Maxwell Smart Don Adams.

442
00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:09.639
I was going to say, I
was just gonna say that was Don Adams.

443
00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:14.599
Now I am familiar with the character
because it was Don Adams and I

444
00:36:15.039 --> 00:36:20.000
loved everything Don Adams. Did you've
met my my buddy, al right,

445
00:36:20.159 --> 00:36:22.480
Matt Al Yes, the guy that
was formerly with Wicked Relish. Correct.

446
00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:29.719
We used to call him Inspector Gadget
in the eighties because Al was kind of

447
00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:32.119
like that. But musician wise,

488
00:39:35.880 --> 00:39:38.199
as well. We're gonna be talking
about the artist, about their albums,

489
00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:42.760
you know, why they were loved
or hated, things like that. We're

490
00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:45.559
even gonna be playing one of Chang's
favorite, you know, metal bands,

491
00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:50.440
def Leppard. You know. Uh, hey, j want to hear something

492
00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:52.760
funny. I was in the car
a little while ago when I was driving

493
00:39:52.880 --> 00:40:00.199
home with my older son and we
were listening to some well, we were

494
00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:04.920
listening to Love Bites, and uh, my older son, Daniel, he

495
00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:10.639
says, hey, Dad, that
singer is pretty nasally, isn't he Yeah,

496
00:40:12.239 --> 00:40:15.239
tell me about it, and he
goes bad. I go, that's

497
00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:19.719
def Leppard. You don't like him? They're okay? And he turned the

498
00:40:19.800 --> 00:40:22.400
station and it was a Tina Turner
and he goes, I'd rather listen to

499
00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:28.000
Tina Turner. You know what You've
got to tell your son that I suggest

500
00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:34.480
he listens to Love Bites by Judas
Priest in the Turble album back in nineteen

501
00:40:34.719 --> 00:40:38.559
eighty seven. I want to say
the Turble album. I think he'll like

502
00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:44.119
that song I Love Bites, same
title, totally different songs, is it

503
00:40:44.280 --> 00:40:47.840
different lyrics? But by the metal
gods themselves. I got to hear that

504
00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:52.159
song myself. But no, we're
not We're not dissing death. I'm not

505
00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:55.400
dissing anyway. Def Leopard, I
like some of their stuff. Change a

506
00:40:55.559 --> 00:41:00.400
different story though, but anyway,
I hate him. Tune in starting in

507
00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:04.960
December, the last Friday of every
month, we're gonna be doing back to

508
00:41:05.039 --> 00:41:09.440
the Eighties radio with music of your
choice, all genres in the eighties.

509
00:41:09.440 --> 00:41:13.079
So it's gonna be a great time
that we're gonna have. So the eighties

510
00:41:13.119 --> 00:41:16.599
brought us some of the best cartoons
ever. I'm gonna be talking about a

511
00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:23.840
cartoon that started off as a short
little episode on The Tracy Ullman Show in

512
00:41:23.880 --> 00:41:30.079
the eighties. After that it went
into thirty minute episodes, and the show

513
00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:36.599
from the eighties is still on today. It has not stopped by the way.

514
00:41:36.639 --> 00:41:42.400
It first aired December seventeen, nineteen
eighty nine. Wow, I remember

515
00:41:42.480 --> 00:42:01.000
that, that's right? Who can
forget the love? Will Simpsons with Barts

516
00:42:02.119 --> 00:42:08.360
his two little sisters, and of
course Homer Simpson and Marge March's though the

517
00:42:08.480 --> 00:42:13.159
mom right, yeah, yeah,
so who could forget? I remember when

518
00:42:13.199 --> 00:42:15.880
this cartoon came out, you know, obviously it attracted a lot of the

519
00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:22.559
adults. And yeah, my mom
didn't want to let me see this show

520
00:42:22.679 --> 00:42:25.840
because she said it was just a
bad influence on children. That goes to

521
00:42:25.920 --> 00:42:30.480
tell you the thought process that we
that a lot of the parents had still

522
00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:35.760
in the in the late eighties.
Well, you have to remember it started

523
00:42:35.840 --> 00:42:39.880
on the Tracy Oldman Show, which
was it wasn't kids comedy. It was

524
00:42:39.960 --> 00:42:45.480
nothing on on Nickelodeon back then,
but it was an adult comedy show,

525
00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:51.639
skit comedy, improv comedy. So
you know, when when the Simpsons came

526
00:42:51.639 --> 00:42:54.440
out, you have to remember all
these individuals that did the voices were all

527
00:42:54.639 --> 00:43:00.840
great improv comedy actors, and the
show just how and to take off,

528
00:43:00.360 --> 00:43:05.719
and then it was kind of put
into the mainstream family type setting that we've

529
00:43:05.719 --> 00:43:13.119
seen it in so many years.
But it did start off a little disrespectful,

530
00:43:13.239 --> 00:43:15.800
a little off off the tone,
I would say, off the merit

531
00:43:15.920 --> 00:43:21.760
of a cartoon for a child,
you know, which it also opened the

532
00:43:21.800 --> 00:43:27.119
door for so many other cartoons that
did follow in that type of humor for

533
00:43:27.320 --> 00:43:32.320
kids, where where kids started being
subjected to a little bit more adult type

534
00:43:32.440 --> 00:43:37.000
humor. They were iconic in so
many ways. This is one of the

535
00:43:37.079 --> 00:43:39.360
show. This is the longest running
TV show of all time, The Simpsons.

536
00:43:39.599 --> 00:43:43.920
Yeah, I mean, if you
think about it, the obnoxious Bart

537
00:43:44.039 --> 00:43:49.360
Simpson, that's the kid from hell. You know. Then where the parents

538
00:43:49.440 --> 00:43:51.920
were kind of downplayed, you know
what I mean, it's kind of being

539
00:43:52.119 --> 00:43:57.880
unaware, maybe a little bit uh, not as intelligent as the children,

540
00:43:58.840 --> 00:44:01.039
not as a quick wit. It
is the kids. So yeah, and

541
00:44:01.119 --> 00:44:04.960
it was the first in the eighties. It was something that a lot of

542
00:44:05.039 --> 00:44:10.320
the parents that liked wholesome things,
they were appalled by this. They didn't

543
00:44:10.320 --> 00:44:13.679
allow their you know, one of
them was my parents. I mean my

544
00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:16.519
mom. She said, there's no
way you're watching The Simpsons because you're gonna

545
00:44:16.599 --> 00:44:22.480
end up, you know, just
like Bart. I used to let my

546
00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:27.320
kids watch South Park, you know, mister Hinky, who was a piece

547
00:44:27.400 --> 00:44:30.119
of experiment that would sing and dance. I mean, it's a side of

548
00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:36.199
the times. You had shows like
Rennan Stimpy Cat Dog. The Simpsons opened

549
00:44:36.280 --> 00:44:42.760
up a whole new realm. I
think of cartoon type, family type entertainment

550
00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:49.840
slash adult oriented, hidden comedic rhetoric. Man, And like you mentioned,

551
00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:52.239
it did lead on to other things
that were allowed. Are a lot worse,

552
00:44:52.440 --> 00:44:57.400
and one of them is South Park. Anyway, let's continue on because

553
00:44:57.920 --> 00:45:00.119
we've got two more to go,
and then we're gonna mentioned a few of

554
00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:06.199
the names on our Facebook page that
mentioned some cartoons that we're not gonna be

555
00:45:06.199 --> 00:45:24.079
able to talk about. This following
show needs no introduction, that's right.

556
00:45:24.199 --> 00:45:31.119
Nineteen eighty four brought us one of
the cartoons that soared the minds and imaginations

557
00:45:31.199 --> 00:45:37.639
of all young boys and girls,
with giant alien autobots and evil Decepticons,

558
00:45:38.360 --> 00:45:45.039
robots capable of transforming into vehicles and
other objects and waging war with Earth's fate

559
00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:52.599
at stake. The Transformers, the
nineteen eighty four animation series that went on

560
00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:55.800
for a complete four seasons, and
then it was revamped, and then movies

561
00:45:55.880 --> 00:46:00.960
came, etc. Etc. But
were you one that liked the Transformers?

562
00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:04.079
You know what I'd like? I
say, eighty four. I was already

563
00:46:04.159 --> 00:46:07.039
a teen, but I was intrigued
at the concept in a carton came out.

564
00:46:07.440 --> 00:46:13.519
I was even more intrigued when they
did actually make the toys that were

565
00:46:13.599 --> 00:46:19.480
Transformers, very reminiscent of Rubik's Cube. And I gotta tell you, I

566
00:46:19.719 --> 00:46:24.320
did enjoy the movies that they made
of the Transformers, especially when Megan Fox

567
00:46:24.519 --> 00:46:30.760
was in there. Hublah yeah,
Pedal to the Metal, all Gears or

568
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:34.559
Reven Yeah, No. I love
the Transformers. And then I remember early

569
00:46:34.679 --> 00:46:37.519
on when they first came out,
they came out with these Transformer watches and

570
00:46:37.719 --> 00:46:43.719
every kid wanted one. And I
remember my mom bought me my first Transformer

571
00:46:43.840 --> 00:46:46.639
watch. She got it for sixteen
dollars. I'll never forget sixteen dollars.

572
00:46:46.920 --> 00:46:51.039
I don't Yeah, I don't remember
where she bought it, but I went

573
00:46:51.119 --> 00:46:53.199
with her the day that she bought
it, and I was all excited because

574
00:46:53.199 --> 00:47:00.119
I had my red you know,
my Optimus Prime on my wrist and I

575
00:47:00.360 --> 00:47:06.880
love it. I felt like the
coolest. I find that so refreshing and

576
00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:13.199
funny right now because uh, not
only did uh did I picture you as

577
00:47:13.239 --> 00:47:19.639
a young Tiscannell child, all pumped
up with your Optimus Pride wrist watch,

578
00:47:20.199 --> 00:47:23.320
But man eighty four, I was
like so far from Optimus Prime. I

579
00:47:23.599 --> 00:47:30.679
was like in the prime of my
life. I was intrigued with the action

580
00:47:30.800 --> 00:47:34.519
figures that came out to toys,
and like I say, and Megan Fox,

581
00:47:34.639 --> 00:47:40.280
of course, I was even twice, of course, and the last

582
00:47:40.360 --> 00:47:45.199
one, the last one for today
that I have on my list is none

583
00:47:45.199 --> 00:48:10.760
other than That's right, none other
than the ThunderCats. You gotta remember this

584
00:48:12.840 --> 00:48:15.239
if you're not familiar with the ThunderCats. It follows the adventures of a group

585
00:48:15.360 --> 00:48:22.239
of cat like humanoid aliens from the
planets Thundera. When the dying planet beats

586
00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:27.719
its end, the group known as
the ThunderCats is forced to flee its homeland.

587
00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:32.960
While leaving in their thunder fleet,
the ThunderCats are attacked by the mutants

588
00:48:34.639 --> 00:48:39.039
Plunder, who attack most of their
starships, and the ThunderCats, of course

589
00:48:39.079 --> 00:48:45.000
become friendly with the natives of Earth
who helped the cats when the mutants find

590
00:48:45.039 --> 00:48:49.800
out where they are and they attack
again. So it was a great show

591
00:48:49.880 --> 00:48:53.960
man. I mean, this has
a large call following today. And I

592
00:48:54.159 --> 00:48:59.800
heard somewhere down the Great Volume that
ThunderCats was going to be made into a

593
00:49:00.039 --> 00:49:04.360
live action film. Now this I
would like to see. That would have

594
00:49:04.400 --> 00:49:07.199
been I would like to have seen. I would like to see that.

595
00:49:07.360 --> 00:49:09.960
I'd say it would probably fall in
the realms of something like a Planet of

596
00:49:10.000 --> 00:49:15.920
the Apes, where they're going to
actually make these uh humanistic animal type of

597
00:49:16.679 --> 00:49:20.519
characters come to life. I would
be intrigued to see that. I just

598
00:49:20.639 --> 00:49:23.320
hope they don't ruin it. No. Now, when I when I when

599
00:49:23.360 --> 00:49:27.440
this cartoon first came out, I
was already older. I thought, Wow,

600
00:49:27.559 --> 00:49:30.119
that's a bunch of unneutered alley cats
ThunderCats, because that's what you know,

601
00:49:30.199 --> 00:49:35.880
an aggressive human. That's basically what
it was. Yeah, right,

602
00:49:36.280 --> 00:49:42.440
that's basically at owner and out there. You know that an unneutered alley cat

603
00:49:42.519 --> 00:49:45.719
that you take into your home is
like the cat from hell. They have

604
00:49:45.880 --> 00:49:49.159
a bad They have a New York
kind of attitude, whether or not they

605
00:49:49.239 --> 00:49:52.519
grew up in the streets of New
York or Los Angeles or Las Vegas.

606
00:49:52.920 --> 00:49:58.119
Never wish you could go back to
the eighties with the crazy clothes and those

607
00:49:58.280 --> 00:50:05.199
wacky hairdoes let Tescano and Chang transport
you back in time, back to the

608
00:50:05.360 --> 00:50:15.199
eighties. It's time to get that's
right, it's that time again. It's

609
00:50:15.239 --> 00:50:17.840
that time of the show when we
talk about what made us angry back in

610
00:50:17.880 --> 00:50:22.920
the eighties. But in honor of
the most wondrous you, that's right,

611
00:50:22.039 --> 00:50:27.880
Chang, we now call them changres. So chang back in the eighties,

612
00:50:27.960 --> 00:50:32.239
what made you changree You're the one
used to get me changry back in the

613
00:50:32.360 --> 00:50:37.679
eighties. Whenever I saw an eighties
cartoon, What he man's hair cut?

614
00:50:40.960 --> 00:50:45.760
That gets me changery today looking at
he man's haircut or anybody trying to be

615
00:50:45.920 --> 00:50:50.760
he man today? You know what
used to get me changer? You know

616
00:50:50.760 --> 00:50:57.000
what you used to get me chagree
back in the eighties. Regarding cartoons Strawberry

617
00:50:57.320 --> 00:51:02.960
Shortcake that show you to get me
changry? I still watched it, though,

618
00:51:04.679 --> 00:51:07.639
Do you know what got me changry
back in the eighties? Thinking about

619
00:51:07.719 --> 00:51:14.559
cartoons? What ducktails? I hated? You know what you usaid? You

620
00:51:14.599 --> 00:51:17.800
know what used to get me really
changry in the eighties. There's a cartoon

621
00:51:17.880 --> 00:51:21.719
I don't even know their names,
and I don't plan to know their names

622
00:51:21.800 --> 00:51:27.280
because I hate them to today.
They're my changriest changry of today. There

623
00:51:27.320 --> 00:51:30.920
are three they're like from Looney Tunes. They're three weird crazy I don't know

624
00:51:30.960 --> 00:51:37.159
if they're cats. Those three characters
are the worst changry of my eighties cartoon

625
00:51:37.280 --> 00:51:45.320
life. You know what got you
chngry back in the eighties? Interesting?

626
00:51:46.039 --> 00:51:52.880
What's that? Oh? From uh? From mutant Ninja Turtles. I hated

627
00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:55.679
rats back then. You know,
Jodi Ratt, you're not gonna tell me

628
00:51:55.760 --> 00:52:01.440
what that. Oh I know,
dude, without you say and that,

629
00:52:01.599 --> 00:52:06.480
ladies and gentlemen, is this Friday's
Changers. If you have a changery or

630
00:52:06.519 --> 00:52:07.800
something that made you angry back in
the eighties, and you'd like to share

631
00:52:07.800 --> 00:52:12.400
it with us, go ahead and
leave us a direct message through our Facebook

632
00:52:12.519 --> 00:52:16.800
page. So chang and I really
try to think about that. That weird

633
00:52:16.880 --> 00:52:20.360
cartoon now, I'm looking at it
right now in the computer. I can't

634
00:52:20.360 --> 00:52:23.960
find them. I just know they
were part of Looney Tunes or they were

635
00:52:24.039 --> 00:52:29.280
just crazy. They were all black
with white chest and a red nose.

636
00:52:29.320 --> 00:52:30.800
I don't know if you remember this. I think I kind of do.

637
00:52:31.000 --> 00:52:35.800
They kind of look like Sylvester,
but yes, yes they do. And

638
00:52:35.880 --> 00:52:39.360
they were just crazy. It was
stupid. It was like a stupid concept.

639
00:52:39.599 --> 00:52:44.320
I think I know exactly what they
were obnoxious. So if one of

640
00:52:44.360 --> 00:52:47.480
you guys listening knows the name of
this crazy cartoon, go ahead and leave

641
00:52:47.519 --> 00:52:52.480
that out of our Facebook fan page, because I like not remembering them anyway.

642
00:52:52.599 --> 00:52:55.679
This picture of them, No,
don't put a picture of the I'll

643
00:52:55.719 --> 00:53:00.679
go nuts. Put a picture of
those obnostics cats. Well, it's it's

644
00:53:00.719 --> 00:53:05.519
been a blast talking about eighties cartoons
and man is going back and reminiscing on

645
00:53:05.599 --> 00:53:08.119
all those things that we used to
watch back then. And it's too bad.

646
00:53:08.199 --> 00:53:13.079
It's too bad that a lot of
the new generation can't ever be a

647
00:53:13.159 --> 00:53:15.159
part of what we went through.
But this is the one and only back

648
00:53:15.199 --> 00:53:19.360
to the eighties, and I want
to remind you guys that we're here every

649
00:53:19.559 --> 00:53:24.119

00:53:30.119 --> 00:53:34.199
