1
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:28.960
Welcome one and all to back to the eighties radio.

2
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:33.200
This is Tuscano from the dynamic duo Tuscano and Chain.

3
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:37.119
It's been a while and we want to explain to

4
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:39.399
you the reasons why we're going to get into that,

5
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:42.960
because today is a very different show. Today, we're going

6
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:45.000
to explain to you, first of all, why we have

7
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:48.200
been a little bit uh you know, we took a hiatus,

8
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:50.399
and we are also going to explain to you how

9
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:52.600
the show is going to go on from this day forward.

10
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:55.439
But before that, I do want to let you know

11
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:57.520

And next to me my right, to your left or

00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:44.360
several times in the nineteen eighties barging into movie theaters

82
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:48.600
and streaking right in front of the screen. He's also

83
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:53.680
been seen from time to time secretly going into the

84
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:59.759

Wondrous Changle legend in my own mind, and I want

90
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.360
to thank my partner in rhyme, my partner in crime,

91
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:24.199
the only Italian Mexican that I would ever trust. How's

92
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:27.000
everybody doing out there. We have a great show coming up.

93
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:29.120
It's going to be great, It's going to be huge.

94
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:33.759
Thank you very much, Chang. Let's just go right into it, Okay,

95
00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:36.360
I know people have no idea. We want to let

96
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:38.839
you know what's going on, first of all, and by

97
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:43.360
doing that, you're gonna know what's coming from the following

98
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:47.519
week and from then on. First of all, on a

99
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:51.360
serious note, we've all had to kind of gather our

100
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:53.879
minds and put our minds together and see what we're

101
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:56.600
gonna do, because we do not want to quit the

102
00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:58.839
Back to the Eighties radio show, especially because we have

103
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:02.040
so many thousands and tans of listeners, and thank you,

104
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:06.439
thank you to all that support the program by listening

105
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:10.399
week to week. But here's what happened. We did have

106
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:15.079
to get together and kind of gather our thoughts. We

107
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:17.199
did get a couple of email, of more than a

108
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:21.360
couple of emails from the record labels. And it's not

109
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:25.160
even the record labels. It's an agency that the record

110
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:29.680
labels hire online so they can see who's playing music,

111
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:34.000
who's not so long story short, we got letters saying,

112
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:38.079
you know, you need to not be playing certain music,

113
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:41.279
and they explain to us what music we couldn't play.

114
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:43.439
They don't even want us to play like a few

115
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:48.319
seconds of it. And we even have permission from ASCAP

116
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:50.399
B and I to play a lot of that music,

117
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:53.319
but they don't care. And rather than to go through

118
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:56.000
the trouble and to get in trouble, what we have

119
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:58.879
done is taken away a lot of the shows and

120
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:02.720
we've rebranded, we've renamed them and taken out the music,

121
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:05.680
so everything is you know, kosher. That way, nobody gets

122
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:10.439
in trouble. However, what does that mean for the show? Chang, Well,

123
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.240
you know it. We've been playing music on the show.

124
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:16.639
We usually leave the music for around a week or

125
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:20.000
so and then we cut it off. What we're going

126
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:21.920
to do from now on. For those of you who

127
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:25.120
don't know, we do have a radio station, an eighties

128
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:28.240
radio station called Back to the Eighties Radio. I used

129
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:31.240
to be called k HITS ninety two point five. We

130
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:34.560
changed the name, of course, to Back to the Eighties Radio.

131
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:38.160
You can find that if you download the app on

132
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:42.199
your phone called Live three sixty five dot com. That's

133
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:46.639
Live three six five dot com and search for the

134
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:51.639
station called Back to the Eighties Radio. That's us twenty

135
00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:54.879
four hours a day. We've got over ten thousand songs there,

136
00:07:55.160 --> 00:08:00.560
we've got eighties commercials, we've got eighties everything. Now what

137
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:03.120
are we going to do? So every week when you

138
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:05.360
hear us, if you want to hear the music, you're

139
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:08.000
going to have to go to Back to the Eighties

140
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:11.639
Radio on Live three sixtyfive dot com. If you download

141
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:13.720
the app, you're going to be able to hear it

142
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:15.680
in the car, You're going to hear it wherever you

143
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.279
have the app. Of course, Now, if you don't want

144
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:20.600
to do that and you just want to continue listening

145
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:24.800
to the show via your podcast platform, whoever it is,

146
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:28.240
here's what's going to happen. Two things. One, the show

147
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:30.519
is going to be a lot shorter. Okay, first of all,

148
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:32.600
it's going to be thirty minutes, So we have cut

149
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:35.080
the time of the show to thirty minutes now, and

150
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:37.200
you're not going to hear any music, So it's just

151
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:39.759
going to be Chang and I talking about whatever the subject.

152
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:40.120
Of the day is.

153
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.440
That's exactly why we don't even play the Eagles on

154
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:46.279
Live three sixty five, and we could play them there

155
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:49.120
because we have all the royalties paid for, but we're

156
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:49.840
not paying for it.

157
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:54.720
Why chang Because Don Henley not only lied and said

158
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:57.159
the Eagles were done with the passing of Glenn Fry,

159
00:08:57.240 --> 00:08:59.799
and he brought his son out to carry the way

160
00:08:59.879 --> 00:09:02.399
so they can make more money. It's because he's that

161
00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:06.679
greeting that they don't want getting their music played and

162
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:11.559
reviving their music to new listeners who will probably dial

163
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:14.440
in and purchase their music. We're doing them a favor.

164
00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:18.919
But long story short, Don Henley and whoever is connected

165
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:20.960
to the Eagles, which is a great band by the way,

166
00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:24.159
doesn't want nothing to do with us playing their music.

167
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:27.679
I guess they're kind of like having a Metallica seizure

168
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:30.879
where at that time when everybody was stealing their music.

169
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:34.440
And I can understand that the other band is Moldy Crue.

170
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:38.120
I mean, oh wait a minute, Moldy Crue, Motley Crue.

171
00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:39.240
Now, I know.

172
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:41.279
There's a lot of people out there, there's a lot

173
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:44.759
of Changster's gangsters out there, headbangers and sisters that do

174
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:47.840
love Motley Crue. Whether it was the glam Era or

175
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:54.200
their first EP and their first album. Other than that,

176
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.600
they also have contacted Back to the Eighties Radio Tuscano

177
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:02.159
and Chang and without we were asked not to play

178
00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:05.440
their music, and you know, first of all, we want

179
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:08.799
to give you the experience of being back in the eighties,

180
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:11.559
hearing the music, hearing the vibe. We try to joke

181
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:13.720
around in here so we can make your day a

182
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:17.320
little bit lighter. However you want to listen, we appreciate

183
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:19.840
whatever time you want to listen. So I think with

184
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:21.919
this new flavor, yeah, we're gonna have to take it

185
00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:25.120
into shorts just for a little while. And like Tiscano said,

186
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:26.960
if you want to hear the show in its entirety

187
00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:32.720
with the presence of an FM actual radio show format,

188
00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:35.519
you can listen to us on Back to the Eighties Radio.

189
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:40.000
Go ahead and download us. Tell your friends, tell your children,

190
00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:43.799
tell your enemies, tell your neighbors, tell your friends in church,

191
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:46.720
call somebody up in another state and tell us about them.

192
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:48.519
Here's what I want to do, because we're going to

193
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:51.000
be you know, Chane mentioned something about a phone numbers.

194
00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:55.759
That's very true, because we want to go live every

195
00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:58.639
single Friday. We want to go live but the only

196
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:01.639
way you can hear us live and actually call into

197
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:05.279
the program, talk to us and sending your request for music.

198
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.440
The only way would be for you to listen to

199
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:14.559
us through spreaker. That's s p R E a k

200
00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:17.759
e R spreaker dot com and look for back to

201
00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:21.240
the Eighties Radio. If we go live, you'll be able

202
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:24.399
to call in. Like I said, there's this is no editing.

203
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:28.639
This is this is radio edits best. This is live

204
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:30.679
radio there. I think there may be like a ten

205
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:33.840
to twenty second delay. That's pretty much it, but it

206
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:36.559
is live now. If we do that, you would have

207
00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:38.639
to go through spreaker. We're going to be giving you

208
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:42.159
more information on that as the days progress. Now here's

209
00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:44.440
the news that's going to be news for chang two.

210
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:47.559
One of the things that I would like us to do,

211
00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:51.200
and I would like for you to join us, is

212
00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:57.840
live every other Friday night for three hours if possible.

213
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:03.639
We would like to live on YouTube. That way you

214
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:06.279
can see us. We can see you basically talk about

215
00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:10.720
stuff from the eighties, take your comments and everything online

216
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:14.200
and just talk about the eighties and just have a

217
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:18.240
good conversation, reminisce and just talk about the greatest era

218
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:18.799
of all time.

219
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:22.320
Now, I think that is a chantastic idea. I think

220
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:26.440
the folks out there will find they're having a changorrific time.

221
00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:30.279
And I think that all the two d PA duties

222
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:34.559
and the Tusky Tuskers out there would probably like that.

223
00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:37.840
I think that's an antidote not only for other listeners,

224
00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:42.480
but for us to take a step back in time

225
00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:45.519
without jumping in the Tuscano and Chank time machine and

226
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:50.759
actually going back. I think that the show is going

227
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:53.960
to be something that you could share with your children,

228
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:57.279
depending on the ages. Now, everybody out there has to

229
00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:01.120
be smart parents and aware parents. Maybe we can go

230
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:04.600
every other Friday night. We will have a theme. I

231
00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:07.480
think we should hit everybody out there with anything that

232
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:11.080
we can possibly do in the radio arsenal of weapons

233
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:14.440
that we could possibly bring out of our vault to

234
00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:17.559
give the listener the experience of being actually back in

235
00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:23.159
the nineteen eighties without the aqua net, without the bangs,

236
00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:28.759
without the spandex. Heck, if they're about my age, without

237
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:31.200
your kids, those little bastards should already be moved out,

238
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:33.480
having kids, giving you grandkids and on their own.

239
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:36.679
There's more when we come back don't go with.

240
00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:39.000
Good morning, Good morning. At six twenty six, and so

241
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:41.399
far they do not know what caused the death of

242
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:44.480
the twos Big John Matusay collapse Saturday evening. He was

243
00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:47.639
rushed to Saint Joseph's Medical Center in Burmac pronounced dead

244
00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:50.559
of an apparent heart failure. Now, the autopsy was done

245
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:53.480
Sunday on the former Raider Star defensive alignment, and the

246
00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:56.879
official release from the doctors involved says the autopsy has

247
00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:01.200
found no natural cause for John's death. People who knew

248
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:04.279
and partied with Matusac have a lot of speculations, and yes,

249
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:07.399
the speculations do concern alcohol or substance abuse. The lab

250
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:11.600
would be making detailed toxicological testing this week. Lately, make

251
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:15.320
John Matusac appeared in some motion pictures bang and pushing

252
00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:17.840
and shove. Yeah, he was doing that too, I understand.

253
00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:20.440
He still did a few public appearances with other former Raiders,

254
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:23.279
and a friend told some reporters that John was ranting

255
00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:25.919
and raving when she tried to talk with him just

256
00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:28.200
about an hour before he collapsed Saturday. This is to

257
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:31.200
be continued. Angels are happy at the return of Mike

258
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:33.720
Wit and the Dodgers are ecstatic at the return of

259
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:37.120
Fernando Vevenzuela. Angels beat Detroit to complete a sweep over

260
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:39.279
the Tigers. Mike Witt had not won and over a month.

261
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:41.240
His season has not been good, but he beat the

262
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:43.879
Tigers three to one. Sunday. Angels are back in town

263
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:46.039
and back in the race in second place, just a

264
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:48.639
game and a half behind Oakland. The Dodgers are five

265
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:51.080
and a half out of first place. They're fourth, behind

266
00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:53.639
the Giants, Astros, and Reds in that order. The good

267
00:14:53.679 --> 00:14:56.960
news is that Fernando Vealezuela pitched his third straight victory Sunday,

268
00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:59.759
five to three over the Braves. Before this modest three

269
00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:02.279
game winning streak, you remember, Fernando hadn't recorded a win

270
00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:05.519
in nearly a full year. Curtis Strange becomes the first

271
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:08.480
golfer to win back to back US Opens, first since

272
00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:10.799
Batham Ben Hogan did it back in nineteen fifty one.

273
00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:14.000
That's thirty eight years and one more note. There is

274
00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:16.279
a story going around that the man who sold the

275
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:19.759
La Kings, doctor Jerry Buss, finds an empty spot in

276
00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:22.679
his heart. Doctor Buss still has the Lakers, you know,

277
00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:24.960
but if this story is true, he also wants to

278
00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:28.519
own a National Hockey League team one more time, he

279
00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:32.240
issued me well. Bus has supposedly asked to be considered

280
00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:34.399
as owner of any expansion hockey team, any team on

281
00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:37.679
the West Coast, preferably San Diego. Bruce McNall, the man

282
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:39.759
who bought the Kings from Doctor Buss, says this could

283
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.360
be an example of Seller's remorse watching the team he

284
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:46.879
struggled with for so many years suddenly become very successful

285
00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:50.159
and very popular the very first year after he sells them.

286
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:53.080
I'm coach Charlie Wright. Keep your eye on the.

287
00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:57.679
Ball, Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Shadow Stevens and you must

288
00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:01.360
listen to back to the eighties radio. It's the law.

289
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:07.559
Mexican Americans don't like to just get into gang fights.

290
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:12.279
They like flowers and music and white girls named Debby too.

291
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:21.159
Mexican Americans are name Chata and Cella and Gemma and

292
00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:27.519
have a son in law named Jeff. Mexican Americans don't

293
00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:28.440
like to get up.

294
00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:32.240
Early in the morning, but they have to, so they

295
00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:40.440
do it real slow. Mexican Americans love educations, so they

296
00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:43.799
go to night school and they take Spanish and get

297
00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:51.159
a bed. Then Mexican Americans.

298
00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:54.240
Love their nanas and their no nos and their ninas

299
00:16:54.279 --> 00:17:00.960
and their ninos. No no, no Nina, no no. Mexican Americas.

300
00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:03.440
Don't let you go to the movies where the two

301
00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:05.480
has to wear contact lenses to.

302
00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:07.640
Make us blue eyes brown.

303
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:09.200
Don't make my brown eyes blue.

304
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:12.799
And that's all I got.

305
00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:14.880
How do you like it?

306
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:19.160
When we thought the eighties eighties, eighties were lame, that's

307
00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:21.359
because we had lived through this decade.

308
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:23.640
Yet you're listening to Back to the eighties.

309
00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:26.799
Welcome back to Back to the eighties Radio. Tuscano and

310
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:29.519
Chang and the Driver's Seat and Chang Bang is right

311
00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:32.000
here tonight. We're just on a little bit of a rant.

312
00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:35.480
We're going to continue to keep this topic of our

313
00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:38.599
format of our program, which has always been and will

314
00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:42.400
always be free form radio for you and you and

315
00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:45.799
you Now, Tiscana, let me ask you some let me

316
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:49.039
tick your little brain. We've had so many conversations on

317
00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:51.400
this topic, and I'm sure most of our listeners that

318
00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:53.519
have stayed with us, thank you very much, have heard

319
00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:56.799
us embark upon this before. But maybe our new listeners

320
00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:01.039
have not. Maybe our younger listeners are not familiar with

321
00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:05.960
the way that radio was back in the eighties, specifically

322
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:11.920
the eighties, and how it started changing towards the early nineties,

323
00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:16.119
where we started losing the presence of the jock such

324
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:20.200
as yourself and myself, you know, characters who are giving

325
00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:22.640
us a theater of the mind. Of course, Jim Ladd

326
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:26.279
who gave us that phrase theater of the mind, and

327
00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:29.759
our good friends Shadow Stevens, our late friend Gino Mitchellini.

328
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:35.079
But I would like to bring radio back to give

329
00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:39.839
the younger generation a little bit of nostalgia, maybe a

330
00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:42.400
little bit of understanding, you know what, instead of hiding

331
00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:45.480
in your tablet or your device for everything except listen

332
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:47.599
to our show on there you better your little bastards,

333
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:50.880
But something that they can say, wow, you know what,

334
00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:55.039
maybe my parents radio was cool. Maybe if we all

335
00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:59.160
gathered together, maybe all of us in this generation could

336
00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:01.240
do something like to bring radio back.

337
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:03.319
Now, you mentioned a few things, and I want to

338
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:06.759
touch on those. First of all, I want you ladies

339
00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:10.079
and gentlemen to know that the reason we're here still

340
00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:12.400
doing this, and while we're going to be doing this,

341
00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:16.640
First of all, we love radio because radio of the

342
00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:21.480
eighties was freedom chang don't wouldn't you agree? DJs. They

343
00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:24.200
had their freedom to shape their shows. It wasn't just

344
00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:27.480
reading scripts. They had more time than just two seconds

345
00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:31.599
to say their name. They improvised, they reacted to their audience,

346
00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:34.720
and they added their own personal flare. It was real,

347
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:38.799
it was unscripted, it was real life. It was an

348
00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:42.000
era where radio wasn't just a source for your music

349
00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:46.079
like today streaming services they're just a source for music.

350
00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:49.440
But it's not even music to enjoy as an experience now,

351
00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:53.640
it's just I'm having it as background, you know, like

352
00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:57.000
white noise or you know whatever it's called white noise

353
00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:01.160
in the background to fall asleep. It used to be

354
00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:06.079
an experience, a connection, sometimes even a friend. Music was

355
00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:10.200
your friend. So this is why we're doing it, because

356
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:14.599
we want to bring that experience of not only the music,

357
00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:16.960
but the on air jock back. And that's why we

358
00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:21.039
play eighties commercials, That's why we play different things that

359
00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:24.400
happened back in the eighties announcements, because we want to

360
00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:29.279
bring you that real feeling sort of like a time machine,

361
00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:31.559
like a real time machine, not just a podcast. Man,

362
00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:35.039
how many podcasts changed that you've heard that are from

363
00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:38.039
the eighties and it's just two people three people, sometimes more,

364
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:40.759
or maybe it's just one person reading a script that

365
00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:43.519
talks all about the eighties. And look, that's fine. I

366
00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:45.880
don't want to talk bad about what they do. That's great.

367
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:48.279
I love it because they're exposing people to the eighties.

368
00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:52.400
But you and I Chang, we're not meant for that.

369
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:56.680
We're meant to actually entertain people. And that's what I

370
00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:00.279
want people to understand. We want you to be entertained.

371
00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:04.119
And at the same time, I think, at the same

372
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:07.839
time that we hopefully entertain you, we enlighten you. You know,

373
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:11.680
maybe we can give you some quirky wisdom. Maybe one

374
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:14.079
of our topics is going to touch base with you

375
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:17.160
and it's going to hit home and you can relate

376
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:20.200
to it and you can identify with it. Let me

377
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:24.079
say this real quick. The word innovation to me describes

378
00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:29.640
the eighties, eighties music, eighties radio, eighties television, eighties cinema,

379
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:35.680
eighties fashion, even eighties sports. To a certain degree, you

380
00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:39.920
had innovation in it. I also want to say that

381
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:45.519
I think that decade is iconic because you can be

382
00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:50.119
in a room, play a certain song, have people walk

383
00:21:50.319 --> 00:21:53.440
in with certain dress attire, and then boom, they're going

384
00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:55.119
to be. Hey man, that reminds you of the eighties,

385
00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:59.400
iconic and innovating, do you not agree? And that's what

386
00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:01.079
we want to do for the listeners out there. We

387
00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:04.599
want to bring back those feelings of radio, you know.

388
00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:07.319
So you're going to be a number one part, a

389
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:10.519
number three part. You are the third jock, ladies and

390
00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:13.839
gentlemen out there if you listen live to us. You know,

391
00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:17.000
if we can get these balls rolling and clapping and

392
00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:19.400
get our balls to the wall, you know what I mean,

393
00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:22.400
scream for some vengeance and get this thing going, you

394
00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:24.839
can call in and then you can tell us exactly

395
00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:27.279
what you want to hear. If you've got a song request,

396
00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:29.319
