135
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:31.200
to thank you for your continued support
of not only us and the show,

136
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:35.440
but of the nineteen eighties. Don't
forget that every time we come on the

137
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:37.360
show, you listen to us,
and you spread the word. You are

138
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.360
introducing the eighties to a whole new
generation. I want to give out a

139
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:46.200
special shout out to Chris Moran and
his buddy Jason Pascal listening Chris, Sorry

140
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:50.080

and warm because I know you guys
are getting pounced by the weather this week,

142
00:11:54.879 --> 00:12:01.559
So big shout out to Chris Moran
and Jason Pascal with me to my

143
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:09.399
side. As he is every single
time, is a man that even Geronimo

144
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:13.720
would be afraid to go head to
head with him today. As a matter

145
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:18.159
of fact, this man is even
related to Geronimo. He is a man

146
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:24.960
that was seen in the nineteen eighties
stalking the donut girls that worked at Winchell's

147
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:30.080
Donuts and Downey to us here on

149
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.399
girls in the eighties at Winchell's Donuts. Anyway, I want to thank you

00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:45.799
for that tremendously heartfelt, warm welcoming
to the show. Hello everybody out there,

152
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:52.559
group here for the show. Oh
oh, this is a nice blog.

153
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:56.919
I love this. Now this will
be for the people that are in favor

154
00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:03.360
of my lists. Over your list. You can think of your fans as

155
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.320
something quirky, but mine will be
gangsters from the Changster and they're going to

156
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:11.679
be like, oh, he's so
right. Why does this guy like the

157
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:16.960
movie saw? Oh Bob Smith?
Anyway, No, you know, we've

158
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:20.799
been looking for sasquatch fresh tracks me
and the Missis followed him. Of course,

159
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:24.919
I'll send you footage later. Please
I can remember. Please do so

160
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.679
drinking heavily because it's cold. Yeah, you know what, and in a

161
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:33.399
time like this, especially where you
live in other people who have it even

162
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:37.279
much worse because they have no electricity
and just feed and feet of snow.

163
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:41.320
To you guys, if you are
or if you do happen to listen to

164
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:45.759
the show, our hats off to
you. Much love and much warmth from

165
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:48.679
us to you. That's not really
worth much to you, I understand,

166
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:52.120
but that's all we can do for
now, and so we really appreciate you

167
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:56.759
wherever you are. And if you
can afford to help and to give a

168
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:01.480
helping hand, please find the Red
Cross or whoever you can that you can

169
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:05.039
donate, to donate some blankets,
some jackets, anything you can do.

170
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:09.360
You know, this past week we
saw a homeless person, a homeless young

171
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:13.440
guy outside of Costco. And it
was a night that it was very very

172
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:18.159
cold here in southern California. I
think it was like forty degrees thirty nine

173
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:22.000
degrees. It was cold to us
and regardless you're in a car, were

174
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:28.200
nice and warm, and we see
this young man sitting by a wall with

175
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:33.480
nothing but a cloth on his knees
to keep warm, and it broke.

176
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:39.360
It breaks your heart, you know, So went home, made him a

177
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:46.639
sandwich, put some waters, made
him a cup of big thermis of coffee,

178
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:52.000
put a sleeping bag and a thick, thick blanket so he can keep

179
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:56.600
warm. He must have slept a
lot better. But it just breaks your

180
00:14:56.639 --> 00:15:01.559
heart, man, breaks your heart. Went nine days without power, without

181
00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:05.960
water, without a signal, you
know what I mean. Phone signal came

182
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:09.960
in and out, so you kind
of we had to rough it up here.

183
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:16.679
And it snowed those days straight,
so you know, everything was chaotic,

184
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:20.240
not being able to get anywhere,
you know what I mean. You

185
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:26.320
were lucky when the roads were clear
to order in. Now there was pretty

186
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:31.240
much to me, this was an
emergency, some type of central state emergency,

187
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:39.799
you know where I think maybe the
local government officials could have reacted a

188
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.840
little bit quicker, the power companies
could have reacted a little bit quicker and

189
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:48.120
better. But it didn't happen.
Now, there was a group out here

190
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:54.080
in bas Lake, California and did
Oakhurst that these individuals set out on their

191
00:15:54.200 --> 00:16:00.480
own and they went down checked on
residents throughout these communities these and they went

192
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:07.799
to the areas that were not as
more rural. There's houses, you know,

193
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:12.480
spread out periodically, a lot of
them elderly and without power without any

194
00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:15.600
way to get out to the snow. You know, people's lives were in

195
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:21.840
jeopardy. Now. These individuals who
were doing this task were delivering wood,

196
00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:30.399
food if need be, water and
medical aid or a ride back into town

197
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:36.639
on those snowmobile type machines really quick. There was a lady that was found.

198
00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:38.799
She's ninety five years old. She
was sitting there in blankets on her

199
00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:45.000
with no food, no water.
She hadn't eaten in three days. Now.

200
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:48.720
These guys took her from her residence
to a warm hotel. They got

201
00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:52.919
her in there and they made sure
that she was cared for. I just

202
00:16:52.039 --> 00:17:00.759
think heroic deeds like that they go
unnoticed. With the waste society is kind

203
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:03.720
of went and really the belief that
a lot of people are starting to fill

204
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:10.359
with our politicians and what's really going
on and if they really stand for we

205
00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:14.400
the people. But that's another issue
I just wanted to bring to point.

206
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:18.599
You know, there's a lot of
people out here in California and all along

207
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:23.680
the East Coast. Anybody affected by
this blizzard type weather southern California is the

208
00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:30.400
weather was a dramatic change. You
know, something is obviously going up with

209
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:33.440
Mother Earth. And the great spirits, you know, they I think it's

210
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:37.119
pretty much. I look at it
as kind of like a dog with fleas

211
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:42.720
and Mother Earth Earth is starting to
shake those fleas and scratch the ticks off,

212
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:47.400
you know what I mean. It's
our own demise. Everyone that breeze

213
00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:51.359
is a bit accountable for what we've
seen. But I mean, the weather

214
00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:56.960
has just been catastrophically wearing on all
of us, right. It brings out,

215
00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:02.440
It brought out a whole new outlook
on mankind, on life, on

216
00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:06.680
hope, on really digging in deep
to be tough. You know, I'm

217
00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:10.319
a I'm a local boy. I'm
a southern California local, you know what

218
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:15.319
I mean. I didn't grow up
but chopping wood and surviving snow and making

219
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:21.960
you know, melting snow and using
water. You know. But now it's

220
00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:26.920
crazy that so many people have to
go through this. But yet the homeless

221
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:30.319
people in the cities that have to
go through this, and it's just sad

222
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:33.519
because we see how local government does
nothing to even aid it a little bit

223
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:37.559
quicker. It's just a sad thing. So anybody out there that has to

224
00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:41.680
go through the weather, I mean, God's peace to all of you.

225
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:45.480
It's a it's a thing that's going
to teach us how to be a little

226
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:48.519
bit thicker. Maybe when it's over
we can appreciate each other and have a

227
00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:51.960
better tomorrow. You know what I'm
saying, just kind of I know over

228
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:55.920
where you're at it you never thought
you would experience this. Yeah, I

229
00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:00.079
mean it's snowed a little. Okay, maybe less than a little, but

230
00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:04.160
hey, it's snowed in Huntington Beach, California. That's This is Surf City,

231
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:10.880
USA, We're talking. This is
where Sunny calif Southern California, the

232
00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:14.519
Golden State, Sunshine State, whatever
you want to call it, is known

233
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:19.160
for. And to have snow,
snowflakes falling in Huntington Beach, it's wild.

234
00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:22.480
This is the one and only back
to the eighties. I want you

235
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:25.200

to us about the eighties. We're
gonna be talking about our very own experiences

238
00:19:33.279 --> 00:20:07.359
and the music behind those experiences.

00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:00.920
I swear to God, Smash,

260
00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:07.240
two of you who don't know Smash, you gotta tune in, go to

261
00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:11.920
his YouTube channel. There's so much
he's got to offer. He's like going

262
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:15.319
in a time machine and currently,
as a matter of fact, it's like

263
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:18.680
I'm looking through some type of a
portal, and I mean I can see

264
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:23.559
a gentleman with the thriller jacket and
you know everything that we talked about here

265
00:24:23.599 --> 00:24:29.279
on the show, the neon colors, you know, the glove. Everything,

266
00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:32.839
he's got it. He's got it. Smash, welcome to back to

267
00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:37.160
the eighties and tell everybody a little
bit about yourself. Well again, I'm

268
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:38.920
sorry I trailed off there. I
am. I am thrilled to be what

269
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:44.519
you guys. I love talking about
the eighties. Smash Ventura is the living

270
00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:48.599
embodiment of my eighties. Ten year
old self, and my favorite thing to

271
00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:52.559
do is to be that guy as
often as I can. And I've been

272
00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:56.440
in radio for about twenty five years. It's it's been an interesting ride.

273
00:24:56.519 --> 00:25:00.960
Although I will say just like doing
my own thing because I like making people

274
00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:04.519
happy and sharing great memories. And
I will say this, there's not a

275
00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:08.240
whole lot that I don't like about
the eighties. I love the good stuff.

276
00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:11.519
I love the not so good stuff. I love the cheesy stuff.

277
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:15.720
I've been doing a radio show for
a long time, We're Living in the

278
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:18.279
nineteen Eighties, which is on Star
one O seven nine dot com. And

279
00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:22.680
the YouTube show was actually my wife's
idea. She's like, you should do

280
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:26.960
a visual presentation, so Smashmentrow TV
on YouTube is the spinoff of that.

281
00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:32.240
But I love sharing great memories and
I'm really looking forward to sitting here with

282
00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:36.680
you guys and talking the good stuff
you mentioned briefly, radio, because that

283
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:41.720
is and was for a while your
life in maybe the public arena as far

284
00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:45.559
as terrestrial radio is concerned. Let
me ask it in the most professional way

285
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:51.759
possible, what the hell happened with
radio? So basically, when I got

286
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:55.440
into it, I was fortunate enough
to have a really good mentor and a

287
00:25:55.519 --> 00:26:00.039
great gentleman. We're still very close
to this day. And he tried to

288
00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:06.240
protect me from the bad sides of
this business. And basically, long story

289
00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:08.640
short, he's like, learn everything
you can, but don't let them train

290
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:11.279
the personality out of you. I'm
like a twenty year old kid at the

291
00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:18.960
time, right this is nineteen ninety
eight, and he he didn't want to

292
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:22.079
inflate my ego, which you know, when I'm not Smash, I'm probably

293
00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:23.960
one of the most humble people you'll
ever know. But when I am Smash,

294
00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:27.160
obviously I'm on mock ten. But
anyway, he said, look,

295
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:33.880
they're gonna try and minimize you.
They're gonna try and sanitize you. They're

296
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:37.480
going to try and homogenize you into
looking, walking, talking, acting and

297
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:42.160
sounding like every other top forty guy
there is. There's only one problem with

298
00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:45.759
that. And I go, what's
that Captain, which I that's what I

299
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:52.079
nicknamed him, God bless him.
He goes, you have that intangible that

300
00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:56.359
they can't beg for, they can't
buy, they can't steal, and they

301
00:26:56.480 --> 00:27:00.559
sure as hell can't replicate. So
long story short, I started out here

302
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:04.160
in the same town that I live
in small town. The guy he was

303
00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:07.880
filling in for, he because my
mentor was only here for a year,

304
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:11.599
but he made such a big difference
in my life before he moved on,

305
00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:14.960
kind of like the w KRP and
Cincinnati lifestyle up and down the dial.

306
00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:18.519
But so he's like, when when
I'm gone, be careful because they're they're

307
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:21.920
going to try and do that to
you. And I was a kid.

308
00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:23.519
I you know, I thought everyone
had the same intentions I do, which

309
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:26.680
I found out the hard way they
don't. So the guy that took over

310
00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:30.359
the took back the job after he
left, he's like, smash ventor is

311
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:33.839
a dumb idea. It'll never work
around here. You got to you gotta

312
00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:37.839
understand that the listeners, according to
this dufus, they're like children. They

313
00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:44.200
have a three like an attention span, and yes they don't pay attention and

314
00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:47.960
such and such. I'll tell you
guys an interesting story just to button that

315
00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:49.920
up because I don't want to take
too much time on it. I've been

316
00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:53.279
doing my own thing outside of their
loop because they made it so I can't

317
00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:56.279
do this here in town because they
own every station in town. Tell me

318
00:27:56.319 --> 00:27:59.960
about that problem. So I just
did my own thing off to the side,

319
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:03.079
outside of their sphere of influence,
and I get noticed by great gentlemen

320
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:07.759
like you, for example, So
they decide after twenty five years that okay,

321
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:11.039
we're going to create our own Ventura
here in town. There was not

322
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:15.039
another radio Ventura here in this small, teeny tiny town until I came along.

323
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:18.799
And then all of a sudden,
there's the other guy. And I

324
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:22.240
don't blame the other guy, the
general manager. He's like, there,

325
00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:23.759
I showed him, and it's like, what what? What? What did

326
00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:26.480
you show him? Other than the
fact that I was right, I got

327
00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:30.039
I got a little serious there,
guys. The bottom line, we all

328
00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:32.519
know, you know, we've been
involved in radio for a very very long

329
00:28:32.599 --> 00:28:37.759
time, and we know how it
all started going south. Even well before

330
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:41.759
the nineties, however, there was
still some sense that on air jocks can

331
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:47.640
still be a personality. All the
way up to maybe ninety one, something

332
00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:49.920
took a turn, and I'm not
gonna say, you guys know what my

333
00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:53.160
feeling is smash. If you've been
hearing the show long enough, you'll know

334
00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:57.400
that what I think of grunge and
that whole movement. But in radio,

335
00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:03.799
just like what happened with rock and
all the music from the eighties in radio.

336
00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:10.279
Something happened after around ninety one,
and that is that they stopped allowing

337
00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:15.240
the jock to be an entertainer.
If you remember, eighties radio wasn't just

338
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:18.200
because of music. We love the
music, but you know what, we

339
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:22.200
also who grew up in that era, we love the entertainer. Siscano.

340
00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:26.200
Man, you're you're really nailing it, brother, Because at some point after

341
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:32.480
ninety one they decided this is a
business. This is not they They tried

342
00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:34.599
to squeeze the entertainment out of it, and frankly, they get a little

343
00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:38.599
annoyed when I bring up Wolfman Jack
Wolfley, and Jack made a great point

344
00:29:38.799 --> 00:29:41.599
in a book that he wrote not
too long before he passed away, and

345
00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:45.039
he said, look, if you
are, if you're a personality DJ,

346
00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:48.680
which this business needs a lot more
of, because I can't even tell most

347
00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:52.559
of them apart anymore. And that's
not an insult to them. Some of

348
00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:56.559
them want to be who they are. But you got the corporate guy saying

349
00:29:56.759 --> 00:30:00.839
no, now, everyone, look, walk talk act the same that way.

350
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:03.519
If you start asking for too much
money, we just pop that gear

351
00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:08.160
and we get a cheap guy now
Wolfe Man Jack said that most people don't

352
00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:11.680
remember any of the stations he was
at, but they remember him, and

353
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:17.920
the reason for that is because he
felt that I shouldn't treat my listeners like

354
00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:22.720
they have a short attention span.
Neither do I. I followed him very

355
00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:25.880
closely. I treat my listeners like
family. I don't call them my fans.

356
00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:29.759
I call him my friends. And
I've never had any trouble holding their

357
00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:33.599
attention for as long as I want
because I don't talk down to them.

358
00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:37.200
I talk to them everything you just
said, And Marulus said, I agree.

359
00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:42.720
Terrestrial radio needs guys like the three
of us, because terrestrial radio,

360
00:30:42.839 --> 00:30:48.799
to me, has laid down like
an old bitch and got ready to get

361
00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:56.680
screwed over for nothing. And generations
are going without true cold blooded, red

362
00:30:56.799 --> 00:31:03.000
hot entertainment ends in a box when
nobody else is around radio. And I

363
00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:07.240
think that's what we got to bring
back. Let me bring back the pessimism

364
00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:12.039
back in a way. We're living
in different times, and it's a time

365
00:31:12.119 --> 00:31:17.960
that people who run things have no
idea about music. They don't care about

366
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:22.039
they don't even care about the listeners. They care about what's coming in and

367
00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:26.480
any way to bring those listeners to
spend money, and to bring those advertisers

368
00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:30.559
to spend money. They're going to
do it, even if it means bringing

369
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:36.599
people the stupidest things that they see. I have never seen a generation that

370
00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:41.559
is so entertained by so much stupidity. In my entire life, I had

371
00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:45.599
no idea that we were as human
beings. We were like that in a

372
00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:51.000
way. And I put myself in
there because I too have partaken in the

373
00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:56.359
YouTube channels that take you from one
to another watching crap, and it's just

374
00:31:56.480 --> 00:32:00.200
a way you know you're done and
you go the hell. I just spent

375
00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:04.640
over an hour watching nonsense. Let's
take a quick break. When we come

376
00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:07.400
back, there's more smash him in
chur there's more of the chang and there's

377
00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:39.680
more back to the eighties radio.
Don't go away on the stops, all

this in your donation. Today we all

400
00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:15.920
going back today eighties, back to
the eighties radio that was Motley Crue,

401
00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:20.679
Live Wire and of course the ever
so popular Poisoned with Nothing but a good

402
00:39:20.719 --> 00:39:22.920
time, which is what we are
having here, ladies and gentlemen here and

403
00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:25.639
back to the eighties radio with Smashmintura
and the man the mid the legend in

404
00:39:25.760 --> 00:39:32.519
his own mind, the Chang and
Smash we were talking about radio and how

405
00:39:32.719 --> 00:39:37.920
and when did this all change?
And go to Helen of a handbasket.

406
00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:42.880
We've talked about this many times on
the show and it's just it's just refreshing

407
00:39:43.239 --> 00:39:50.559
to have another person here that shares
the same mindset. So Smash once again,

408
00:39:50.679 --> 00:39:53.639
if you just joined us, we
were talking to Smash Ventura, broadcaster

409
00:39:54.719 --> 00:39:59.760
on air jock. That's right,
ladies and gentlemen, content creator, and

410
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:05.159
a lot more. We're talking about
radio because we are radio guys. Now,

411
00:40:05.239 --> 00:40:10.119
do you guys feel the end of
radio occurred? For what reason?

412
00:40:10.239 --> 00:40:15.039
Did it? And because radio got
a little soft and they didn't want to

413
00:40:15.159 --> 00:40:21.199
pay for the personality, so they
decided to go ahead and get a lot

414
00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:27.800
of dubs in uh, maybe some
low pay scale individuals that can do voiceovers.

415
00:40:28.679 --> 00:40:32.119
Maybe they just wanted to do voicetrack
or do you think the content of

416
00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:39.079
music coming out given to us by
the record companies was the downfall of terrestrial

417
00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:45.719
radio? So which which one do
you think it is? Both? You

418
00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:51.199
cats? I'll jump in on that
first. I think they this is kind

419
00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:53.159
of a two parter. I hope
that's okay, guys, Yes, exactly.

420
00:40:54.239 --> 00:41:00.039
The first part for me is that
they they lean too heavily on baritone

421
00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:04.760
voice. Guys. Now, my
mentor, God bless him, the captain

422
00:41:05.719 --> 00:41:08.000
who gave me my first break in
this business. He has a baritone voice,

423
00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:13.440
but he also has a freaking personality. So I think the first mistake

424
00:41:13.599 --> 00:41:17.440
that the business made was let's just
hire everyone that has a baritone voice,

425
00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:21.840
which is the same as going to
a gym and thinking that everyone that's at

426
00:41:21.880 --> 00:41:25.519
a gym can go into WWF and
b Hull Coogan. It just it does

427
00:41:25.639 --> 00:41:30.639
not work that way. You have
to have a freaking personality. Now my

428
00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:35.519
case. You know, I'm I'm
an outlandish cartoon character. So you know,

429
00:41:35.599 --> 00:41:37.519
I enjoy the cheese and I enjoy
making people laugh. You know,

430
00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:43.639
I'm like Saturday Morning cartoons splashed in
MTV. You know, that's that's my

431
00:41:43.800 --> 00:41:46.840
thing. Eventually, the music,
I will I will say this, I

432
00:41:46.880 --> 00:41:50.719
didn't think. I don't think MTV
hurt the music. I think for when

433
00:41:50.719 --> 00:41:53.519
the two were at the same level, they worked really well together. But

434
00:41:53.639 --> 00:41:58.719
at some point the music started getting
to a point where you couldn't even really

435
00:41:58.840 --> 00:42:01.960
tell things from the other. And
that seemed to start happening somewhere in the

436
00:42:02.079 --> 00:42:06.880
nineties. It's like they'd advertise,
Okay, coming up at the Grammys,

437
00:42:06.920 --> 00:42:09.519
We've got so and so with this
hit record, and this band would so

438
00:42:09.639 --> 00:42:12.519
and so, and I'm like,
I don't even know who all these people

439
00:42:12.599 --> 00:42:15.320
are. I think it was leaning
on one kind of sound from a DJ

440
00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:21.280
that doesn't have a personality, generic
baritone voice, and then eventually the music

441
00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:22.519
kind of getting washed out. So
I think I went on both of those.

442
00:42:22.760 --> 00:42:25.280
So Scottell, I close that question
to you, love brother. So

443
00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:30.679
I spoke to two extremely famous radio
personalities from back in the seventies and eighties.

444
00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:37.400
They went on to become executives in
the business. And I'll tell you

445
00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:38.719
what they told me. Then I'll
give you my personal opinion. They told

446
00:42:38.760 --> 00:42:43.519
me. Bottom line, the new
research groups, the booting out of the

447
00:42:43.719 --> 00:42:49.519
old cast that thought that entertainment from
jocks was good was booted out by people

448
00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:52.960
who were let in that knew nothing
about music. They outsourced companies like research

449
00:42:53.039 --> 00:42:58.280
groups, marketing, research groups,
pr people that had nothing to do with

450
00:42:58.440 --> 00:43:02.920
radio and only to with bringing advertisement
bucks in. So that's one of those

451
00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:07.800
things. Number two, And now
I'm gonna give you my opinion. They

452
00:43:07.840 --> 00:43:13.320
attracted the newer audience and the younger
kids to a different facet of music.

453
00:43:14.159 --> 00:43:19.199
These executives stopped caring, if they
ever did, about who it was affecting,

454
00:43:19.880 --> 00:43:24.840
taking away the character, taking away
the persona, taking away the individuality

455
00:43:25.519 --> 00:43:30.119
of the jock. The stupidest thing
my mentor ever heard. And when he

456
00:43:30.199 --> 00:43:35.360
told me this, I thought,
that's nuts. He's worked for the big

457
00:43:35.440 --> 00:43:38.239
guys. I won't say who,
because they don't deserve that kind of publicity

458
00:43:38.320 --> 00:43:42.400
on you gentlemen's program, so they
can suck it. It's not what the

459
00:43:42.480 --> 00:43:46.559
listeners want, it's what the shareholders
want. What I agree with wholeheartedly with

460
00:43:46.719 --> 00:43:50.960
both of you cats. The only
thing that my partner in crime left me

461
00:43:51.039 --> 00:43:55.719
on was banging on grunge music,
which I think grunge music is a great

462
00:43:55.760 --> 00:44:00.719
form of rock and roll and I
don't think it killed metal or rock and

463
00:44:00.840 --> 00:44:04.639
roll in the eighties. I think
rock and roll in the eighties, especially

464
00:44:04.719 --> 00:44:12.760
metal, killed itself with its glamification. It's watered down content to give people

465
00:44:12.800 --> 00:44:17.559
a certain sound, to give the
suits the money. I'll also say I

466
00:44:17.760 --> 00:44:27.440
remember meeting Jim Ladd at his book
signing Radio Waves, and we talked about

467
00:44:27.480 --> 00:44:30.800
forty five minutes about the state of
radio, the state where radio was going.

468
00:44:30.280 --> 00:44:35.079
And I remember he told me that
he thought I would do well on

469
00:44:35.199 --> 00:44:37.880
the radio. So lo and behold, here we are on the radio.

470
00:44:38.039 --> 00:44:43.360
And what I think guys like us
are trying to bring back his free form

471
00:44:43.480 --> 00:44:46.840
radio, theater of the mind.
Radio that's going to take you beyond being

472
00:44:47.360 --> 00:44:53.840
talked too, but being taught with
Now smash, what was your most favorite?

473
00:44:54.360 --> 00:44:59.920
I got to ask you a rock
band of the eighties, the top

474
00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:04.280
three? Name your top three?
Um, right off the top a CDC.

475
00:45:05.440 --> 00:45:08.239
I love Bond Scott, but you
know the band was good with both

476
00:45:08.320 --> 00:45:10.840
guys. In my opinion, I
might be alone on that, but I

477
00:45:10.960 --> 00:45:15.159
loved both vers. So that's when
I want to rock out. And then

478
00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:17.519
when I when I feel emotional,
of course, I have to go to

479
00:45:17.639 --> 00:45:22.079
my eighties ladies, Tiffany and Debbie
Gibson. Let's count them two together,

480
00:45:22.199 --> 00:45:24.280
shall we. You know what,
sometimes I just want to get goofy and

481
00:45:24.360 --> 00:45:29.000
feel good. So give me some
Huey Lewis in the news. Dude,

482
00:45:29.039 --> 00:45:31.960
sweet Tisconna. What would be your
three top favorite bands of the year?

483
00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:37.000
Of course you know this. You
two? Number two? I would say

484
00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:40.920
depeche Mode, Oh my god.
Number three I would probably say, hell

485
00:45:42.239 --> 00:45:45.360
yeah, A little A little side
note here, as everybody knows this.

486
00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:52.320
Who's listening to the show? I
love rock ballads. I don't care who

487
00:45:52.920 --> 00:45:57.639
plays them. I don't care.
It could be from Poison to Kiss?

488
00:45:57.960 --> 00:46:02.639
What about you Chang? I only
lie mot Ahead and Judas Priest and oh

489
00:46:04.000 --> 00:46:08.360
in the sigh of Iron Maiden,
You, my friend, mentioned one band?

490
00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:10.519
Yes, you're correct, the other
two? Please, I want you

491
00:46:10.559 --> 00:46:14.719
to do me a favor, look
in the mirror and slap yourself for such

492
00:46:14.800 --> 00:46:19.679
hateful comments and derogatory comments before I
give you my list. First of all

493
00:46:19.719 --> 00:46:22.039
would be Stevie Ray Vaughan. How's
that mud in your face? Well,

494
00:46:22.119 --> 00:46:28.239
friend? Huh? A second band, of course, Judas Priest. Now,

495
00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:34.079
my third band is a band that
conquered the world of rock and roll

496
00:46:34.159 --> 00:46:37.960
back in the seventies, and I
am talking about the King of Queen,

497
00:46:38.679 --> 00:46:45.880
none other than Freddie Mercury and Queen
are my three top bands of the nineteen

498
00:46:45.079 --> 00:46:52.519
eighties because I like flamboyancy, I
like power, I like confidence. I

499
00:46:52.719 --> 00:46:55.400
like guys that go up into the
mic and they give you their soul,

500
00:46:55.519 --> 00:47:00.320
their heart. That song is exactly
what they out when they rolle, and

501
00:47:00.559 --> 00:47:05.559
that is my top three brothers Smash
before we let you go, because we

502
00:47:05.679 --> 00:47:09.599
know you are a one busy guy. We want to talk real brief Where

503
00:47:09.719 --> 00:47:15.840
can people find you? Where can
they listen to you? Where can they

504
00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:20.760
hear you work and they see you? And where, oh where can they

505
00:47:20.840 --> 00:47:24.280
buy you a cup of coffee?
You know's what's really funny there. First

506
00:47:24.280 --> 00:47:28.400
off, to listen to me real
quick. We're living in the nineteen eighties.

507
00:47:28.519 --> 00:47:32.880
The radio show on Star one seven
nine dot com every Sunday night at

508
00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:38.800

me on YouTube would Smash ventor a TV

509
00:47:40.280 --> 00:47:44.960
so that there's new stuff of that
coming. And uh, you know,

510
00:47:45.159 --> 00:47:47.320
I'm not too worried about buying the
cup of coffee because I do this out

511
00:47:47.360 --> 00:47:51.800
of love. Not out of profit. But there is smash Ventor a gear

512
00:47:52.159 --> 00:47:55.960
and you can find that at t
public dot com. What is smash Ventura's

513
00:47:57.159 --> 00:48:02.119
favorite thing to do when he's not
smashment two? Oh boy, Well wow,

514
00:48:02.280 --> 00:48:05.280
you put me on the spot.
Man. You know what is this

515
00:48:05.400 --> 00:48:09.559
department? Wo? But I'm not
smatch Ventura. I Am just a mild

516
00:48:09.599 --> 00:48:16.280
mannered guy named Ben. And Ben
likes to collect wrestling figures and stage full

517
00:48:16.679 --> 00:48:22.000
broadcast shows with them like he did
when he was a kid. And he's

518
00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:25.280
not doing that, He's spending time
with missus Smash, who saved his life

519
00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:30.199
and his dad, God bless him, who is almost seventy years old.

520
00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:34.760
And we're all fortunate to live in
the same house. Pop lives a flight

521
00:48:34.840 --> 00:48:38.320
of stairs away. And if I
could throw this in real quick, I

522
00:48:38.840 --> 00:48:43.159
live on the same I've lived on
the same street three different times in the

523
00:48:43.280 --> 00:48:47.119
nineteen eighties, moved away from the
last yeah, at different times, moved

524
00:48:47.119 --> 00:48:52.039
away and moved back. The last
house that we lived in we moved away

525
00:48:52.079 --> 00:48:57.119
from in nineteen ninety and by some
coincidence, years and years later, in

526
00:48:57.159 --> 00:49:00.320
two thousand and one, my wife's
parents bought that house without knowing and they

527
00:49:00.440 --> 00:49:06.920
moved us into manage it. So
here I am speaking to you a gentleman

528
00:49:07.559 --> 00:49:12.039

do you think of them? I'm

547
00:55:04.719 --> 00:55:07.559
surprised you even like them? You
know what, I didn't like a bunch

548
00:55:07.559 --> 00:55:12.000
of guys looking like Share, but
I thought they were a pretty good band,

549
00:55:12.159 --> 00:55:13.880
you know what I mean. I
would have went to see them,

550
00:55:13.920 --> 00:55:16.400
but I saw the Share video and
on the ship and I just couldn't get

551
00:55:16.440 --> 00:55:21.400
it out of my head. I
just couldn't. Such a hater of good

552
00:55:21.559 --> 00:55:24.639
music. Man, Welcome back.
This is the one and only Back to

553

We love you Canada and even the
parts you know in the Caribbean, you

562
00:56:04.280 --> 00:56:07.079

So thank you very much for listening
to Back to the Eighties today. But

564
00:56:12.400 --> 00:56:15.360
we're going to be talking about our
own experiences, Chang's experiences, some of

565
00:56:15.480 --> 00:56:20.039
my experiences of back in the nineteen
eighties, and how some of the music

566
00:56:20.360 --> 00:56:23.199
had a lot to do with the
way we feel and we felt back then.

567
00:56:23.719 --> 00:56:27.280
So Chang, I'll have you go
first, and it talks to us

568
00:56:27.280 --> 00:56:31.639
about some type of experience that you
had back then, and maybe a song

569
00:56:32.199 --> 00:56:37.639
that created and continues to create those
nostalgic memories in you, that brings those

570
00:56:37.760 --> 00:56:43.039
memories just right back like a like
a like a bullet train. Oh man,

571
00:56:43.800 --> 00:56:45.159
there's so many, you know what, you know what, it's crazy.

572
00:56:45.239 --> 00:56:47.800
We had to get a little bit
deep. Hopefully we don't lose any

573
00:56:47.840 --> 00:56:51.440
of our listeners. You know,
we're not gonna be all drama. We're

574
00:56:51.440 --> 00:56:53.440
not gonna go all ballad. Maybe
I'm not gonna go ballad, but Toscano

575
00:56:53.480 --> 00:56:57.880
will go I'm not gonna go ballad. You know, man, we have

576
00:56:58.000 --> 00:57:00.639
good times and then we have bad
times. You know. I remember a

577
00:57:00.760 --> 00:57:06.360
time now when me and my buddies
would go to metal gigs and backyard parties,

578
00:57:06.480 --> 00:57:08.760
you know, and just like terrorize
it up. I mean, you

579
00:57:08.840 --> 00:57:13.480
know, we were rockers, you
know what I mean. There's a difference

580
00:57:13.800 --> 00:57:16.960
for anybody that you know, remembers
those days. You had your glam rockers,

581
00:57:17.119 --> 00:57:22.000
You had your rockers, which were
metal heads, you know what I

582
00:57:22.039 --> 00:57:25.840
mean, You had your punk rockers, you had your mod rockers. I

583
00:57:25.920 --> 00:57:29.840
mean, there was so many rockers, you know what I'm saying. It

584
00:57:29.960 --> 00:57:35.840
was like a bag of M and
m's, and everybody hated nobody associated with

585
00:57:35.960 --> 00:57:38.880
any of the Like if you were
a heavy heavy medaller, a metal head,

586
00:57:39.079 --> 00:57:42.599
you don't want to associate with the
glad medallers, and the glad metals

587
00:57:42.920 --> 00:57:47.119
medallers didn't want to really associate with
with with the poppy ones like Hall of

588
00:57:47.239 --> 00:57:50.559
Notes and stuff like that. Remember
that. Oh yeah, man, I

589
00:57:50.679 --> 00:57:53.480
remember that hardcore. You know,
even in high school, you know,

590
00:57:53.639 --> 00:57:57.440
you had the guys that were you
know, kind of going like that.

591
00:57:57.559 --> 00:58:00.920
Then, remember you had the the
rockers that were kind of like trying to

592
00:58:01.559 --> 00:58:07.480
look like a lover boy and Bruce
Springsteen, and then you had the metal

593
00:58:07.559 --> 00:58:10.039
heads, you know, but and
then you had the glam in high school,

594
00:58:10.079 --> 00:58:13.679
everybody kind of got along, but
you kind of made fun of each

595
00:58:13.719 --> 00:58:15.920
other. And you know, after
a few beers or what have you,

596
00:58:15.960 --> 00:58:20.119
if you're at a party and you're
gonna like battle for women, you know,

597
00:58:20.239 --> 00:58:22.639
things are gonna get crazy. You
know you're gonna be you're gonna be

598
00:58:22.760 --> 00:58:27.559
breaking dude's hair, cracking dude's hair
off because you have too much AquaNet and

599
00:58:27.679 --> 00:58:30.039
you're just trying to wrestle them to
the ground. You're gonna get sad by

600
00:58:30.119 --> 00:58:34.440
some of the big hair. It
was dangerous back in the eighties. Man.

601
00:58:35.119 --> 00:58:39.079
I remember hanging around and checking out
the rock abilities. Now, that

602
00:58:39.320 --> 00:58:44.360
was a vibe that I tripped out
on because, like, my parents were

603
00:58:44.400 --> 00:58:46.519
from the fifties and I grew up
with fifties music. That's why I became

604
00:58:46.519 --> 00:58:49.880
a rock and roller, you know
what I'm saying. And they brought the

605
00:58:50.119 --> 00:58:52.159
fifties vibe back. As a matter
of fact, every time I used to

606
00:58:52.599 --> 00:58:55.679
you used to see the guys would
dress up with the jeans that were rolled

607
00:58:55.719 --> 00:59:00.960
up at the bottom, that would
wear their creepers that were shortly shirts with

608
00:59:00.599 --> 00:59:05.039
sleeves on their shirts, rolled up
their hairs, with their hair with you

609
00:59:05.079 --> 00:59:07.960
know, very styled. And the
girls would wear sometimes those uh, the

610
00:59:08.079 --> 00:59:12.960
poodle skirts. I remember that.
Yeah, the eighties. I mean it

611
00:59:13.119 --> 00:59:15.119
was cool to see, you know
what I mean. So it was like

612
00:59:15.599 --> 00:59:20.719
not it was not really friction.
It was more of like pushing your shoulders

613
00:59:20.719 --> 00:59:22.559
through just to get a good spot
at the gig, you know. But

614
00:59:22.679 --> 00:59:27.239
everybody had their own identity and every
now and then things got crazy, gonna

615
00:59:27.280 --> 00:59:30.760
throw down. But the bottom line
is everybody still vibe together. And it

616
00:59:30.920 --> 00:59:34.639
was crazy just seen so many different
styles. I mean, you see punkers,

617
00:59:34.719 --> 00:59:37.719
you know what I mean, pierced
up before piercing like, you know,

618
00:59:37.840 --> 00:59:42.760
all this new fashion now I trip
out on, like tattoos and piercings.

619
00:59:43.159 --> 00:59:45.559
You're going against the establishment. When
when you had a certain look in

620
00:59:45.639 --> 00:59:51.880
the eighties, nowadays, everybody's got
long, big thick beards, everybody's got

621
00:59:52.000 --> 00:59:57.559
tattoos, they you know, everybody
has piercings. And it's crazy because everybody

622
00:59:57.639 --> 01:00:01.079
wants to look hard and tough,
brutal. Yeah, some of them that

623
01:00:01.280 --> 01:00:06.360
look like that have the lifestyle that
earned that badge because to me, when

624
01:00:06.400 --> 01:00:09.960
you're going to look that crazy and
stand out and rebellious, to me,

625
01:00:10.719 --> 01:00:15.480
you better have a freaking good reason
why you are the way you are and

626
01:00:15.639 --> 01:00:19.519
that you're doing it, because that's
you. You're not doing it to be

627
01:00:19.679 --> 01:00:22.719
cool. It's a badge, that's
what Rock and roll is a band that

628
01:00:22.840 --> 01:00:29.239
always came to mind when I was
in my early early part of high school,

629
01:00:29.320 --> 01:00:35.639
from seventy nine eighty up to about
i'd say eighty two. And it's

630
01:00:35.719 --> 01:00:39.320
a song by an Iron Maiden Bro
with Paul Diano at vocals. Yeah,

631
01:00:39.559 --> 01:00:45.960
and it's wrath Child. That song
was like deep for me when I was

632
01:00:45.039 --> 01:00:49.800
growing up, and it always reminds
me of being with all my homies in

633
01:00:49.960 --> 01:00:53.480
high school and being at a backyard
gig and this song would come out.

634
01:00:54.000 --> 01:00:58.599
You know what, as a matter
of fact, we'll play that song later

635
01:00:59.280 --> 01:01:02.880
on. I know you will because
you love that song because it scares you

636
01:01:04.000 --> 01:01:07.280
so much. I know you're gonna
drink holly water just because you're gonna have

637
01:01:07.400 --> 01:01:10.480
to look at the album cover.
I'm not gonna look at the album cover

638
01:01:10.639 --> 01:01:14.599
now, I'm not gonna look at
it. No, let me ask you

639
01:01:14.719 --> 01:01:20.280
this, Yeah, what is a
song that will take you back to something

640
01:01:20.360 --> 01:01:23.559
that makes you feel happy? It
doesn't even come from the band that is

641
01:01:23.639 --> 01:01:27.440
the band of my heart. You
two. This is another band that I

642
01:01:27.559 --> 01:01:30.760
really didn't listen to all their albums, but there's one particular song of this

643
01:01:30.920 --> 01:01:39.039
band who was categorized as punkish,
as pop punk or alternative. I guess

644
01:01:39.079 --> 01:01:44.599
you can say even some sense a
new wave, but the song is very

645
01:01:44.719 --> 01:01:49.840
early eighties, and I'm talking about
an occasion when I used to listen to

646
01:01:50.719 --> 01:01:55.119
k r Q in Los Angeles in
the very early eighties. My cousin,

647
01:01:55.199 --> 01:01:58.880
who was about four and a half
years to five years older than me,

648
01:01:59.320 --> 01:02:02.320
used to get hit is cassette recorder
out, and it was the kind of

649
01:02:02.360 --> 01:02:07.280
cassette recorder that loads in from the
top, and we would record like radio

650
01:02:07.360 --> 01:02:12.119
shows all the time. We would
pretend we were doing the love the Love

651
01:02:12.679 --> 01:02:15.480
the Love line, and the song
that I always used to put on my

652
01:02:15.639 --> 01:02:20.360
fake love line show was a song
that made an impression in me. And

653
01:02:20.480 --> 01:02:23.920
every time I hear the song,
it takes me back to such a phenomenally

654
01:02:24.360 --> 01:02:29.599
wonderful time in my life. Where
I was ten eleven years old is eighty

655
01:02:30.000 --> 01:02:34.000
eighty two, eighty three. I
was, yeah, twelve eleven years old

656
01:02:34.039 --> 01:02:38.519
and eighty three when Madness would play
their song our House, Yeah, it

657
01:02:38.840 --> 01:02:43.039
used to just I mean, I
used to love the song when I was

658
01:02:43.079 --> 01:02:45.719
a kid, But now when I
listen to it, not only do I

659
01:02:45.840 --> 01:02:50.880
love the song, it literally transports
me back to my cousin's house, to

660
01:02:51.119 --> 01:02:54.920
those moments when we used to not
only record those programs, but the times

661
01:02:55.000 --> 01:02:59.760
that we used to go out and
on Friday nights because they used to spend

662
01:02:59.800 --> 01:03:02.480
this summer with them. We used
to rent videos at this local mom and

663
01:03:02.559 --> 01:03:07.360
pop shop that was no bigger than
maybe a one bedroom apartment video house,

664
01:03:08.199 --> 01:03:13.559
and all the movies that we really
wanted to see were always taken because they

665
01:03:13.599 --> 01:03:15.360
only had one copy of each.
You'll remember those stores because they were so

666
01:03:15.480 --> 01:03:21.519
small, so we ended up renting
three, four, sometimes even five movies.

667
01:03:22.000 --> 01:03:24.079
They were all like B rated movies, like something that you'd find on

668
01:03:24.239 --> 01:03:30.280
Saturday afternoons or Saturday evenings on Elvira
Mistress of the Dark show. So Our

669
01:03:30.360 --> 01:03:37.559
House by Madness is a song that
that put its imprint in my heart and

670
01:03:37.639 --> 01:03:39.280
I'll never forget it. I love
that song. You know what, brother,

671
01:03:39.519 --> 01:03:46.519
I this is what music, what
my definition music is the is something

672
01:03:46.639 --> 01:03:54.760
that is the backtrack to the film
of our memories in our mind. You

673
01:03:54.880 --> 01:04:00.519
know what I mean when you when
that's the that's the weet essence and the

674
01:04:01.159 --> 01:04:06.559
magnitude and the power music has.
It unifies people right there at a live

675
01:04:06.679 --> 01:04:11.519
moment, but it's the same emotion. A song will take you back to

676
01:04:11.639 --> 01:04:15.000
a good time, or it will
make you feel bad about something at that

677
01:04:15.199 --> 01:04:19.880
time. It's it's crazy how you
could hear a song and it takes you

678
01:04:20.039 --> 01:04:26.480
right back to where you remember that
song made you just complete that inner spiritual

679
01:04:26.760 --> 01:04:32.159
moment, or that that devastating event
in life, that that life changing life

680
01:04:32.920 --> 01:04:36.880
form that you're going through, and
a song comes out and it takes you

681
01:04:38.000 --> 01:04:42.159
back. I mean, it's incredible. I think that's why music is the

682
01:04:42.519 --> 01:04:45.039
one of the greatest gifts that man
has given. Well, you know what's

683
01:04:45.039 --> 01:04:49.639
saying on that note and on everybody
else's mind is what's on my mind and

684
01:04:49.760 --> 01:04:53.159
your mind. That's right, It's
say these music ladies and gentlemen. Right

685
01:04:53.199 --> 01:04:56.280
now, we're going to be taking
you back to the nineteen eighties, specifically

686
01:04:56.320 --> 01:04:59.280
to the nineteen eighty two hear it
back to the eighties radio. This is

687
01:04:59.320 --> 01:05:02.519

01:11:08.000 --> 01:11:13.199
eighties vibe alive in you or on
the groove with the smooth chantman right here

720
01:11:13.239 --> 01:11:16.920
from Toscano and Tago back to the
eighties radio and that was none other than

721
01:11:17.000 --> 01:11:21.199
the all who whole band out of
Britain, Iron Maiden with a song that

722
01:11:21.399 --> 01:11:26.800
is so close to my heart because
Lord knows I was a wrath child.

723
01:11:27.279 --> 01:11:30.239
Toscano, seeing that we were on
the vibe of the smash man, that

724
01:11:30.439 --> 01:11:38.439
cat that keeps us alive, Give
me another song and another um memory.

725
01:11:38.520 --> 01:11:42.399
It takes you back to maybe you
ought to eat some gummies to assist you,

726
01:11:42.520 --> 01:11:45.520
but lay something down on the line
that takes you back all the way

727
01:11:45.560 --> 01:11:53.079
to the glorious nineteen eighties with all
the eighties, eighties and the loose all

728
01:11:53.199 --> 01:11:59.000
right, So I'm gonna take you
back to nineteen eighty four when the USA

729
01:11:59.439 --> 01:12:02.640
a limp. So remember that that
came down and we were getting ready to

730
01:12:03.079 --> 01:12:10.920
tackle the traffic in downtown LA as
we headed for the Colosseum in Los Angeles,

731
01:12:11.039 --> 01:12:15.239
and it was a time of happiness
everywhere, and there was just life

732
01:12:15.439 --> 01:12:20.239
that breathed everywhere, and everybody seemed
to just get along because it was the

733
01:12:20.319 --> 01:12:27.319
Olympics and it was a time of
selling and making money and access and just

734
01:12:27.520 --> 01:12:31.039
having fun. And it was a
time of slow motion in life where you

735
01:12:31.159 --> 01:12:35.079
thought that life was going to last
forever, just like it was back then.

736
01:12:35.760 --> 01:12:39.039
My friend and I used to listen
to this song that was from the

737
01:12:39.159 --> 01:12:43.800
year nineteen eighty one but was really
really big within the alternative circles. And

738
01:12:43.880 --> 01:12:47.239
you're gonna say, man, this
guy's bringing all alternative no, because trust

739
01:12:47.319 --> 01:12:51.520
me, I love music all over
the board, but I'm bringing out songs

740
01:12:51.600 --> 01:12:58.039
that really meant something at the time. This following song that will end up

741
01:12:58.079 --> 01:13:02.640
playing in a little bit, I
hadn't heard after the eighties. I lost

742
01:13:02.720 --> 01:13:06.239
track of the song, not the
band, but the song, and I

743
01:13:06.319 --> 01:13:11.520
didn't hear it back until COVID,
And when I found this song, it

744
01:13:11.840 --> 01:13:16.359
popped back into my mind. I
fell in love with this the song all

745
01:13:16.439 --> 01:13:20.520
over again, because it brought me
back to the times when I was starting

746
01:13:20.560 --> 01:13:25.880
to go to those Sadie Hawkins dances, you remember that, and then going

747
01:13:25.920 --> 01:13:30.880
to junior high and then dancing just
close with that that little miss you know,

748
01:13:31.079 --> 01:13:36.560
and then just enjoying your time with
friends at school. It was such

749
01:13:36.880 --> 01:13:42.399
a great experience. And I'm talking
about the song called new Life. But

750
01:13:42.600 --> 01:13:46.159
Depeche Mode, who, by the
way, has sold out every concert in

751
01:13:46.199 --> 01:13:53.239
the US there they have to extend
their dates. They've sold out every single

752
01:13:53.319 --> 01:13:57.359
concert. But yeah, Depeche Mode, the song is called new Life,

753
01:13:57.560 --> 01:14:00.319
and this was one of their This
was on their very first album and it

754
01:14:00.520 --> 01:14:06.279
was the very first song on that
album called Speaking Spell. Interesting, very

755
01:14:06.359 --> 01:14:13.399
interesting. The way you swayed away, such another epic happy moment. But

756
01:14:13.600 --> 01:14:16.279
you swung away. I thought you
wouldn't swing it too. Now I was.

757
01:14:16.520 --> 01:14:20.600
I was expecting. This is what
I was expecting, a song like

758
01:14:20.720 --> 01:14:27.479
deaf Leppard, something of that type
coming to smash me in the years.

759
01:14:27.880 --> 01:14:30.399
No, you know what I'm saying. So I'm totally thrown off. Not

760
01:14:30.600 --> 01:14:34.319
that these were the greatest bands of
all time, because they weren't, but

761
01:14:34.479 --> 01:14:38.760
they did make an impression on our
hearts. So that's what we're talking about

762
01:14:38.760 --> 01:14:42.439
tonight. So so surprises will come, you know, man, me man,

763
01:14:42.560 --> 01:14:46.760
Sometimes I get deep in my political
beliefs. You know, I've been

764
01:14:46.800 --> 01:14:50.439
asked before, you know, how
come I own go speak on behalf of

765
01:14:50.520 --> 01:14:56.119
civil rights or you know, something
other than that. My father was a

766
01:14:56.560 --> 01:15:01.159
civil rights activist, you know,
back in the seventies and that involved in

767
01:15:01.239 --> 01:15:05.000
the East La Riots, and you
know, he was a Korean veteran,

768
01:15:05.199 --> 01:15:10.600
three time veteran, a tank commander
of Marchman. The way I look at

769
01:15:10.640 --> 01:15:14.119
it, a song that reminds me
of something back in the eighties, which

770
01:15:14.279 --> 01:15:19.680
was an incredible moment and what I
thought an incredible moment, especially being a

771
01:15:19.880 --> 01:15:25.520
sports fan in Los Angeles, you
know what I mean. And it was

772
01:15:25.640 --> 01:15:32.840
when the Lakers weren't winning the championships
during the eighties with Showtime with James Worthy,

773
01:15:33.159 --> 01:15:40.239
Magic Johnson, Raman Scott Kareem Abdul
Jabar Acre for Rambis, you know.

774
01:15:40.520 --> 01:15:43.359
And I'll always remember, you know, me and my all Man,

775
01:15:43.479 --> 01:15:47.520
we used to go to all of
the Laker parades back then, and I'll

776
01:15:47.560 --> 01:15:54.279
never forget one time, man,
we were there and the album Screaming for

777
01:15:54.479 --> 01:16:00.560
Vengeance had been out by Judas Priest, and I remember being there with my

778
01:16:00.720 --> 01:16:03.199
pops, right and you know,
I was sneaking around doing you know,

779
01:16:03.279 --> 01:16:06.520
I was drinking a little bit of
booze here and there, and you know,

780
01:16:06.640 --> 01:16:11.880
I remember looking around and you see, you know, trucks with cameras

781
01:16:11.920 --> 01:16:15.760
and stuff. And one song came
to my mind and it was by Judas

782
01:16:15.840 --> 01:16:20.319
Priest Electric Eye, right yeah,
And the story of that song is we're

783
01:16:20.359 --> 01:16:25.319
all being watched. You know,
you can have a little bit of freedom,

784
01:16:25.399 --> 01:16:27.520
a little bit of fun, but
we're watching you. You know,

785
01:16:27.640 --> 01:16:31.479
everything was monitored. And it was
crazy because at that time it was such

786
01:16:31.520 --> 01:16:38.119
a good vibe. But I noticed
that's when things started being watched. And

787
01:16:38.199 --> 01:16:42.920
then, as you know, bro
in southern California, look how many little

788
01:16:43.000 --> 01:16:48.880
mini riots we've had because our sports
teams have won championships where it's it's idiotic,

789
01:16:49.039 --> 01:16:57.720
it's disrespectful, it's shameful when fans
get like that. So every time

790
01:16:57.760 --> 01:17:02.000
I think back to that song,
I start thinking back about events like that,

791
01:17:02.680 --> 01:17:08.239
you know, the championships for the
Lakers, you know, some of

792
01:17:08.319 --> 01:17:13.319
the other events, you know,
the bringing down of the wall. Even

793
01:17:13.439 --> 01:17:16.039
let's go back to nineteen eighty seven
when we had the first earthquake that was

794
01:17:16.800 --> 01:17:21.840
coincidentally. You and I were practically
neighbors, and we didn't you know,

795
01:17:21.920 --> 01:17:24.960
I mean, you wouldn't have hung
around with me, and I wouldn't hung

796
01:17:25.000 --> 01:17:28.359
around with you because you were.
You were a little older, and I

797
01:17:28.520 --> 01:17:32.439
was, you know, I was
barely in high school, a freshman in

798
01:17:32.560 --> 01:17:39.720
high school in nineteen eighty seven,
and I remember the first the Whittier quake,

799
01:17:40.359 --> 01:17:44.600
and I'm literally right next to Santa
Fe Springs was right next to Whittier,

800
01:17:45.199 --> 01:17:48.239
so we got the gist of it. And as we were going to

801
01:17:49.159 --> 01:17:54.680
pe very first period, the whole
building in the windows start shaking. We

802
01:17:54.800 --> 01:17:58.520
saw everybody running under the field and
it was that quick that we know that

803
01:17:58.640 --> 01:18:02.600
devastated a lot of Whittier and knocked
down the malls and homes and things like

804
01:18:02.760 --> 01:18:06.199
that. So yeah, I remember, and you were close by. Oh

805
01:18:06.279 --> 01:18:11.760
man, the Whittier quake. I
remember. I was working for my pops.

806
01:18:11.880 --> 01:18:15.600
My pops was a painting contractor at
the time, and we were working

807
01:18:15.680 --> 01:18:23.319
on the General Telephone building, which
is located right across from Norwalk Boulevard and

808
01:18:23.399 --> 01:18:27.399
with your boulevard right after you get
or right before, depending on direction you're

809
01:18:27.439 --> 01:18:31.920
going you're traveling to, and we're
on the roof and we're going to be

810
01:18:32.199 --> 01:18:39.800
doing some waterproofing on the walls and
stuff there, and the quake started and

811
01:18:40.079 --> 01:18:43.199
my old man just said, you
know, everybody gets the fuck off the

812
01:18:43.279 --> 01:18:46.479
roof right now, you know.
So we all started running towards the stairs

813
01:18:46.600 --> 01:18:51.359
right and ran back down all the
way down to the stairs. And as

814
01:18:51.399 --> 01:18:56.800
we were are you bouncing off the
walls as you started running? Well,

815
01:18:57.000 --> 01:19:00.960
what happened is we were on the
building and it shook, and we looked

816
01:19:00.079 --> 01:19:05.039
towards with your wolvard, which was
towards our left, and you could see

817
01:19:05.119 --> 01:19:10.840
with your wolveard rumbling like a wave, like a like a wave or a

818
01:19:10.960 --> 01:19:16.840
snake going down, kind of like
those piers that. Yeah, So we

819
01:19:16.960 --> 01:19:20.680
got down onto the floor right and
everything was shaking, and you could just

820
01:19:20.920 --> 01:19:26.000
hear uh, you know, have
it going on man, cars hitting each

821
01:19:26.039 --> 01:19:32.039
other. You could hear things shaking
and cracking. And we were probably a

822
01:19:32.159 --> 01:19:38.600
good mile and a half away from
a lot of the destruction in the inner

823
01:19:38.720 --> 01:19:43.760
part of uptown Whittier. Later on
after that, the after shocks were knocking

824
01:19:43.840 --> 01:19:47.039
down foundations and buildings that weren't quite
going to go, but they did go.

825
01:19:48.000 --> 01:19:51.239
It was insane. You know,
I'd already had a kid, my

826
01:19:51.359 --> 01:19:55.960
baby, my daughter was a tiny
little baby at that time, but that

827
01:19:56.119 --> 01:19:59.319
definitely put me on check, you
know, I think it put a lot

828
01:19:59.399 --> 01:20:02.279
of us on check. Well,
something that that's crazy when you're right there

829
01:20:02.319 --> 01:20:06.279
at home, brother, right there
there now when that happened. Was there

830
01:20:06.359 --> 01:20:11.920
a song that you remember during that
time, Maybe not that day, but

831
01:20:12.039 --> 01:20:15.960
during those times, maybe the day
of the earthquake and a little bit afterwards

832
01:20:16.079 --> 01:20:20.560
a song that kind of still reminds
you of that earthquake event. You know

833
01:20:20.680 --> 01:20:26.239
what, Yeah, there is a
song. It's a Mallower song, right,

834
01:20:27.000 --> 01:20:30.720
you know what I mean, It's
the song I go to. It's

835
01:20:30.800 --> 01:20:35.439
it's from Triumph, you know,
and it's fight, the good fight.

836
01:20:36.319 --> 01:20:41.239
And the reason that that song reminded
me of that, it's because you know,

837
01:20:41.359 --> 01:20:44.000
mile Man was always positive, you
know what I mean. Whatever he's

838
01:20:44.039 --> 01:20:45.520
going to kick your ass, you
get up and you kick its ass twice

839
01:20:45.560 --> 01:20:48.800
as hard the next day. You
never let you never give in. And

840
01:20:49.479 --> 01:20:55.039
him being a veteran, he always
believed nothing's gonna get tougher than the actual

841
01:20:55.119 --> 01:20:58.720
time you look at death in the
face. Everything else is puzzled, but

842
01:20:58.840 --> 01:21:03.439
cake Work, that song reminds me
of everybody having to pitch in and build

843
01:21:03.479 --> 01:21:08.720
that community or be there for each
other on the street because we couldn't drive

844
01:21:08.800 --> 01:21:13.880
anymore, so you literally had to
run or walk wherever you kind of had

845
01:21:13.920 --> 01:21:15.960
to go for a little while,
you know what I mean. It was

846
01:21:15.039 --> 01:21:18.680
crazy. And I had to walk
from with your Demonta ballo to go to

847
01:21:18.920 --> 01:21:24.680
not to bunt a bell, but
to pique Rivetta to you know, to

848
01:21:25.319 --> 01:21:29.279
my sister's pad where my sister was
there with with my with my daughter and

849
01:21:29.600 --> 01:21:31.800
her two kids, and they were
babies over there. So it was literally

850
01:21:31.880 --> 01:21:36.199
crazy. But that song, it
just it kept me going, you know

851
01:21:36.279 --> 01:21:39.479
what I mean. And it's like
you can ever give it up, no

852
01:21:39.600 --> 01:21:43.720
what, no matter what, and
it's something that is greater than your whole

853
01:21:43.880 --> 01:21:46.279
entire neighborhood. You have to do
the human thing. The song that reminds

854
01:21:46.319 --> 01:21:51.359
me of that, that whole moment, that whole period during the earthquake is

855
01:21:51.399 --> 01:21:56.600
a song by my favorite band.
And every time we'd get home that we'd

856
01:21:56.640 --> 01:22:00.880
be worried about an earthquake or something
because I was so close to it.

857
01:22:00.039 --> 01:22:04.159
I was so diang close to the
epicenter of the earthquake. Was a song

858
01:22:04.279 --> 01:22:08.600
by my favorite band of all time, which is YouTube. The song is

859
01:22:09.000 --> 01:22:13.560
where the Streets have No Name.

899
01:36:38.920 --> 01:37:28.640
that's that's that's that's welcome back to
back to the eighties radio coming at you

900
01:37:28.960 --> 01:37:31.680
through the oh so great Okay,
it's not a two to five where we

901
01:37:31.880 --> 01:37:38.000
keep the eighties vibe ala and that
was the band out of Frisco and I

902
01:37:38.159 --> 01:37:43.640
ont be disco with some Oh oh
the journey, Oh man, I could

903
01:37:43.680 --> 01:37:47.079
just kiss a girl all night to
journey. You were an altar boy during

904
01:37:47.159 --> 01:37:50.960
the times of sin. For me, well, listen to this. I

905
01:37:51.199 --> 01:37:58.119
was fourteen years old in the nineteen
eighties and going to college parties that my

906
01:37:58.239 --> 01:38:01.840
cousin would take me so yeah,
and I would they would sit yeah,

907
01:38:02.840 --> 01:38:06.840
probably not. But here's the funny
thing. Coincidentally, they would always sit

908
01:38:06.960 --> 01:38:11.399
me next to the keg. Now, do you guys want to hear a

909
01:38:11.640 --> 01:38:14.680
very I don't even know if I
should say this story. All right,

910
01:38:14.880 --> 01:38:15.680
I'll say it if you guys want
to hear it. Do you want to

911
01:38:15.720 --> 01:38:18.319
hear it? Change? I want
to hear it now if you have children

912
01:38:18.560 --> 01:38:21.600
or if you're younger age. Look, this was in a different time,

913
01:38:23.039 --> 01:38:26.479
but just goes to show you that
a fourteen year old does not belong in

914
01:38:26.680 --> 01:38:30.399
college parties. So, and it
is X rated, by the way,

915
01:38:30.760 --> 01:38:34.439
but I'll try to keep it as
not X rated as possible. So they

916
01:38:34.560 --> 01:38:39.920
I went to this party with my
cousin, big, big shout out to

917
01:38:39.960 --> 01:38:45.520
you, Ralph. I know you're
listening. So we we go to Pasadena,

918
01:38:45.079 --> 01:38:48.000
in the hills of Pasadena, so
you know, these houses are really

919
01:38:48.119 --> 01:38:55.039
really nice, and we get to
Yeah, you probably did you probably it

920
01:38:55.119 --> 01:38:58.199
was probably you that night too.
We get to this one house and they

921
01:38:58.479 --> 01:39:01.560
sit me next to the keg,
and of course there's you know, this

922
01:39:01.760 --> 01:39:04.439
is a college party. You keep
this in mind and in the eighties,

923
01:39:05.079 --> 01:39:11.079
just use your imagination what was going
on. I have no idea because I

924
01:39:11.159 --> 01:39:14.479
would just remember sitting next to the
keg and they had no name and I

925
01:39:14.560 --> 01:39:16.960
was next to the hose. My
cousin's buddies came, gave me a glass.

926
01:39:17.039 --> 01:39:20.640
They filled my glass with beer,
and I'm just chugging on this glass

927
01:39:20.640 --> 01:39:25.640
of beer, enjoying the sights,
if you know what I mean. Oh

928
01:39:25.760 --> 01:39:30.760
yeah, I like the beer.
Yeah. And then so my cousin's pal,

929
01:39:30.439 --> 01:39:33.800
his best pal, says, you
know what, you guys, go

930
01:39:34.000 --> 01:39:38.600
upstairs and hide in the closet.
And did you guys go hide in the

931
01:39:38.680 --> 01:39:44.000
closet because I'm taking up I'm taking
a girl up there and I want you

932
01:39:44.159 --> 01:39:48.600
guys to watch. And it was
it was my cousin, another friend,

933
01:39:49.399 --> 01:39:54.680
and a fourteen year old kid named
Mario or Tuscanto, right, and we're

934
01:39:54.720 --> 01:39:59.720
all in the closet and then the
door opens and here come these two college

935
01:40:00.199 --> 01:40:05.000
a young man and a and a
young gal. All right, gal,

936
01:40:05.399 --> 01:40:09.800
yeah, a gal, a gal? Okay, let's call her a gal.

937
01:40:10.680 --> 01:40:15.159
So they you know, there's he's
standing up. And the unfortunate thing

938
01:40:15.319 --> 01:40:20.640
is the site that we got to
see was of his buddy not facing us,

939
01:40:20.760 --> 01:40:25.600
thankfully, but we got to see
his backside as he's standing up.

940
01:40:25.920 --> 01:40:29.279
So we're looking and we're just I'm
you know, we're giggling inside, and

941
01:40:29.399 --> 01:40:31.640
I'm like, well, text,
I can't believe I'm looking at a naked

942
01:40:31.720 --> 01:40:35.880
girl and she's on her knees and
she's doing her business. And then my

943
01:40:38.039 --> 01:40:44.479
cousin's friend, who's getting this service
performed, says lower, so she goes

944
01:40:44.600 --> 01:40:50.119
lower, and then he says lower
until she's literally on the other side of

945
01:40:50.279 --> 01:40:57.039
his body. And as she continues
to do what she's doing. What was

946
01:40:57.079 --> 01:41:03.279
she doing? I'm not gonna say, because that part you can use roaming

947
01:41:03.359 --> 01:41:12.279
around the ice skating rink in circles, in circles in a very dark canyon,

948
01:41:12.439 --> 01:41:16.800
if you can catch my drift,
oh like a toilet bull rim kind

949
01:41:16.960 --> 01:41:21.439
of yes, without getting in.
She wasn't a plumber, but it was

950
01:41:21.560 --> 01:41:26.600
some type of a job. Here's
the funny thing to us at the time.

951
01:41:27.039 --> 01:41:30.399
You gotta remember, these are college
kids. Back in the eighties they

952
01:41:30.479 --> 01:41:35.279
were bad, but today the trust
me, trust me today the worst Okay,

953
01:41:35.399 --> 01:41:39.039
So don't get high and mighty.
Today they're a lot worse than that.

954
01:41:39.439 --> 01:41:45.399
He bends down, bends his knees, just slightly opens the back door

955
01:41:45.079 --> 01:41:54.000
with both hands and let's the biggest
gasp of wind flow out of his compartment

956
01:41:54.039 --> 01:41:58.159
if you know what I mean.
And there was just she lost it.

957
01:41:59.239 --> 01:42:04.039
We lost it. She lost it
by way of vomiting all over the place.

958
01:42:04.479 --> 01:42:08.279
We lost it because we were in
the in the closet and we were

959
01:42:08.439 --> 01:42:13.039
laughing. Now here's why I bring
up this story, and once again I

960
01:42:13.159 --> 01:42:17.600
apologize if you take offense to that, but no, it was a fun

961
01:42:17.880 --> 01:42:24.880
But here's there was a song in
the background, and I will never forget

962
01:42:25.319 --> 01:42:31.279
this song because this is the moment
that I heard nineteen eighty three's Yes,

963
01:42:31.960 --> 01:42:36.760
Owner of a Lonely Heart, And
that's what was playing in the background.

964
01:42:36.880 --> 01:42:43.159
Yes, really really loud in the
house as this is going on. So

965
01:42:44.039 --> 01:42:46.039
that is my experience as a fourteen
year old. By the way, there's

966
01:42:46.079 --> 01:42:49.000
things as a fourteen year old that
I should never have seen in that house

967
01:42:49.079 --> 01:42:54.479
that day, but I did.
And the last part and as if that

968
01:42:54.720 --> 01:43:00.239
wasn't hilarious enough for me, for
me, on the way out, you

969
01:43:00.439 --> 01:43:05.800
have a little car, a little
Toyota Celica that only fits four people too

970
01:43:05.840 --> 01:43:10.239
on the front, two in the
back. Right, my cousin decides to

971
01:43:10.319 --> 01:43:15.199
bring I'm in the front seat,
he's driving, and four of his friends

972
01:43:15.600 --> 01:43:19.319
football. He was in the football
team of his college and four of his

973
01:43:19.399 --> 01:43:25.199
football buddies are in the back seat. So everybody's crunched up driving at two

974
01:43:25.359 --> 01:43:30.199
or three in the morning in the
hills of Pasadena. And I know he

975
01:43:30.439 --> 01:43:34.600
was not in his full state,
right, my cousin, and he rams

976
01:43:34.680 --> 01:43:39.960
into this car that was parked because
he didn't turn on time on his curve.

977
01:43:40.479 --> 01:43:45.800
What does he do? He just
backs up and capped on going yep,

978
01:43:46.159 --> 01:43:51.479
oh you know what, brother,
talking about songs that take us back.

979
01:43:51.560 --> 01:43:56.560
I'll never forget this now trip out
on this scenario. Bro, it's

980
01:43:56.680 --> 01:44:00.159
me in this chick. You know, we're we're a teenager. I was

981
01:44:00.159 --> 01:44:01.720
a little bit older than her.
She was fine, you know what I

982
01:44:01.800 --> 01:44:05.039
mean. We grew up in the
same neighborhood. I remember her when she

983
01:44:05.159 --> 01:44:09.680
was, you know, a bit
younger than me, and I finally,

984
01:44:10.079 --> 01:44:14.439
you know, had the opportunity to
be with her. And right, I'll

985
01:44:14.479 --> 01:44:17.640
never forget. You know, she
was at my pad because my pad was

986
01:44:17.680 --> 01:44:20.479
just it was chaotic. I had
the party zone. So we were at

987
01:44:20.560 --> 01:44:25.279
my pad. Party took off from
there, you know, let people party

988
01:44:25.359 --> 01:44:31.239
there, and we took off to
south side. Farther in the south side,

989
01:44:31.279 --> 01:44:36.159
Wanta Bell Greenwood behind Greenwood apartments.
It was all industrial and there was

990
01:44:36.159 --> 01:44:40.760
a lot of big parking lots with
trees. I had. I had some

991
01:44:40.920 --> 01:44:44.960
cushions and blankets. So me and
her I backed my truck in and we

992
01:44:45.039 --> 01:44:46.560
were kicking back, you know where
you couldn't see my truck. It was

993
01:44:46.600 --> 01:44:50.119
too shady, and I had the
radio on and my Chevy Love. I

994
01:44:50.199 --> 01:44:56.079
had a little Chevy Love truck,
then a little Yeah. And we're sitting

995
01:44:56.119 --> 01:44:58.520
back there, Bro, And I
was sitting there. She's sitting with me,

996
01:44:58.600 --> 01:45:01.720
and we're drinking beer, and you
know, we're choking up doing something

997
01:45:01.800 --> 01:45:05.640
else. And I'll never forget.
Man, we're getting hot and heavy,

998
01:45:05.680 --> 01:45:08.520
you know what I mean. You
know what I mean. It's getting like

999
01:45:08.640 --> 01:45:11.119
we're groping. You know what I'm
saying. It's gonna happen. Yeah,

1000
01:45:11.359 --> 01:45:15.159
you're steaming up the windows. You're
steaming up the windows. No, we're

1001
01:45:15.159 --> 01:45:17.239
sitting in the back of the bed
of my truck, Bro, not inside

1002
01:45:17.279 --> 01:45:21.199
the cab, outside the whole.
Oh you're outside. Yeah, we're in

1003
01:45:21.279 --> 01:45:25.560
a parking lot. But like I
backed my truck in in an area where

1004
01:45:25.560 --> 01:45:28.439
it's like only trees and bushes.
Nobody can see you. A big,

1005
01:45:28.600 --> 01:45:31.439
you know, big block walls all
around, and uh, we're getting hot

1006
01:45:31.479 --> 01:45:35.159
and heavy in the back of my
truck and the song by Great White,

1007
01:45:35.319 --> 01:45:41.439
Down on your Knees comes on.
Man, I got the most incredible hum

1008
01:45:41.640 --> 01:45:45.520
or out of it. Blew my
mind. It made my hair stand up

1009
01:45:46.199 --> 01:45:51.279
on all ends. Every time I
hear that song, I remember her.

1010
01:45:51.560 --> 01:45:58.640
And the sad thing is, uh, she passed away, oh several years

1011
01:45:58.680 --> 01:46:01.319
ago. So when I when I
hear that song, I remember that great

1012
01:46:01.399 --> 01:46:06.560
time. But I remember that that
was somebody that meant a lot to me

1013
01:46:06.720 --> 01:46:11.640
when I was a young cat.
And I mean this chick had a crush

1014
01:46:11.680 --> 01:46:15.560
on me for years, but I
never acted upon it. And when I

1015
01:46:15.680 --> 01:46:18.960
finally did, I was a little
bit too arrogant to realize, you know,

1016
01:46:19.079 --> 01:46:23.199
the magnitude that maybe that could have
carried on. And then when I

1017
01:46:23.359 --> 01:46:26.920
heard that she passed away from an
ass you know what I mean, it

1018
01:46:27.039 --> 01:46:30.520
hit me in a totally different way, you know what I mean. But

1019
01:46:30.600 --> 01:46:33.720
it was always a good time,
and it was more than just young stupidity

1020
01:46:33.800 --> 01:46:38.199
and hormones, you know. It
was a good thing. So it's a

1021
01:46:38.239 --> 01:46:41.600
good thing that I had that great
memory. But it's an awesome memory to

1022
01:46:41.760 --> 01:46:45.279
be a metal head and have that
memory because I mean she had the real

1023
01:46:45.359 --> 01:46:48.760
curly hair and the little black leather
jacket. Ah. Man, it was

1024
01:46:48.880 --> 01:46:54.319
incredible, brother, it was incredible. Look to everybody listening. You know,

1025
01:46:54.399 --> 01:46:59.239
when we're talking about our stories,
we can get a little deep,

1026
01:46:59.279 --> 01:47:02.279
and we can also be a little
graphic at times. But keep in mind,

1027
01:47:02.600 --> 01:47:08.039
keep in mind that these were the
nineteen eighties, These were the years

1028
01:47:08.079 --> 01:47:14.680
of our youth. The different experiences
of our time continue to bring on those

1029
01:47:14.840 --> 01:47:18.439
memories that bring a smile to our
face in some way, shape or form.

1030
01:47:19.039 --> 01:47:23.800
You know, there's there's even times
that we did mischievous things in the

1031
01:47:23.920 --> 01:47:30.840
eighties that those times too can sometimes
bring maybe a horrific thought what would have

1032
01:47:30.920 --> 01:47:34.199
happened if we kept going? Or
but sometimes they could also bring a smile

1033
01:47:34.279 --> 01:47:39.439
and a laugh because we can't believe
that we did such things back then.

1034
01:47:40.039 --> 01:47:45.399
It was a time of so much
freedom, of so less stress. And

1035
01:47:45.640 --> 01:47:47.560
for those people who always say,
you know, you can't live in the

1036
01:47:47.680 --> 01:47:53.520
past, I'll repeat what I always
say. It's not living in the past,

1037
01:47:54.039 --> 01:47:57.199
but it is holding on to those
memories that make us who we are

1038
01:47:57.279 --> 01:48:02.960
today. It is holding on to
the memories that made that decade so damn

1039
01:48:03.000 --> 01:48:08.239
awesome, and that's why we're doing
the show. Wherever you are, whoever

1040
01:48:08.319 --> 01:48:12.319
you are, start thinking how was
your life back in the eighties, What

1041
01:48:12.560 --> 01:48:15.279
was some of the things that you
regret doing and some of the things that

1042
01:48:15.399 --> 01:48:18.840
you don't regret or that you regret
not doing more of and reminisce a little

1043
01:48:18.880 --> 01:48:24.680
start thinking about those songs that made
it all worthwhile. And on that note,

1044
01:48:25.039 --> 01:48:28.439
I can tell you, Chang,
it is awesome to be with you,

1045
01:48:28.640 --> 01:48:30.800
my friend, on this show that
we call back to the eighties,

1046
01:48:30.880 --> 01:48:35.279
and it's great to have every single
listener with us on this show that we

1047
01:48:35.399 --> 01:48:39.439
call back to the eighties. It
is for you that we're doing it.

1048
01:48:39.600 --> 01:48:44.680
It's for us, and it is
for the continuous introduction of the nineteen eighties

1049
01:48:44.720 --> 01:48:46.880

01:48:58.319 --> 01:49:01.680
a smile can go a long way. You never know what another person is

1053
01:49:01.720 --> 01:49:08.680
feeling, what another person is thinking, and one smile can change another person's
