8
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:53.560
All hit and Nothing. Welcome back
to the eighties at Marjolscono Chang.

9
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:57.039
It's been such a long time we've
been together. It feels like we've been

10
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:00.799
together since the eighties. Actually,
I think we've been together since the eighties.

11
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:07.120
We kind of go together as the
Penny and the Penny Loafer of rock

12
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:10.920
and roll talk radio. I would
say, well, I want to thank

13
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:15.480
you for joining us. This is
back to the eighties. We are going

14
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:18.439
to be reminiscing. I know that
this is a program that a lot of

15
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:21.920
people have been asking for, and
now that we have the opportunity because we

16
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:26.200
are involuntarily locked up there isn't a
better opportunity than now. I think now

17
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:32.319
is the best time to start any
type of a project like this, especially

18
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:38.120
along the topic of the eighties.
I think because probably most of our listener

19
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:44.079
audience has probably grown up in that
era. If you think about it and

20
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:46.680
you look at two guys like you
and me straight out of the eighties,

21
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:51.840
you know I mean. And as
a matter of fact, it's still my

22
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:53.079
real hair. No, I'm not
like the guy from Poison. Bro.

23
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.000
I don't put a head band on, and my hair doesn't the automatically look

24
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:01.439
long. My stuff is really and
I don't use any hair plants at all

25
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:06.079
either, Bro, I do not. This is my real hair from the

26
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:12.080
eighties. So you the original stuff
from the eighties. Well, I want

27
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:14.840
to thank you guys for listening,
and I also want to remind you guys

28
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:16.879
that if you care to do so, you can drop by our Facebook fan

29
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:20.199
page. You can drop us a
line there. You can send us what

30
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:23.719
you guys want to talk about,
and we're going to do our best to

31
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:27.479
touch on those topics. Eventually.
We have a great program for you guys

32
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:31.639
tonight and every single Friday here,
so join us as we have guests from

33
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:35.240
back in the eighties, and like
I said, we're going to take a

34
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:40.199
trip back to the eighties and touch
on those most nostalgic memories. And you

35
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:46.759
know what, my brother, what
better night to have a eighties show but

36
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:51.840
a Friday night. Oh it's a
beautiful thing because people are, like I

37
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:55.919
said, people are at home.
They're either really tired of being locked down

38
00:02:55.960 --> 00:03:00.280
and wearing masks, and that this
is our opportunity for a getaway. Right

39
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:04.439
now. Back in the eighties,
around this time, I'll bet you were

40
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:09.919
at home watching Dallas and who Shot
Jr? I will bet it no way,

41
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:14.199
no way, because Dallas was too
much of a series show for me.

42
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:16.400
I was always Look, the one
thing that you mean, you should

43
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:21.240
know this about me is that although
I may look like a pearl officer,

44
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:25.599
might nothing to do your pearl officer, I am totally the opposite. So

45
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.879
it shows like Dallas and what other
things, Saint Almo's Fire, things like

46
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:37.199
that. I wasn't into. I
was into Threes Company and you know,

47
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:43.639
silver spoons. Oh okay, so
you were like Larry, right, you

48
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:47.759
were like Larry the you know,
the fourth fourth Company guy, you know,

49
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:52.159
And I couldn't understand in the eighties, how Larry got all the chicks.

50
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:54.800
His legs were as skinny as mine. He had more hair on his

51
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:59.439
chest in his back than I think. I've seen a baby sasquatch with my

52
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:01.400
brother, I bet you back in
the eighties, around this time, you

53
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:08.319
were probably starting up to your latigra
shirts and looking for probably your best pair

54
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:14.199
of white Levies to wear so you
can hit the arcade live in Miami.

55
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.639
Brother. It's funny because in the
eighties, I you know, I was

56
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:24.000
a teenager, so I had so
many different styles. There was one point

57
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:27.439
where I, my friend and myself
we dressed like the fifties. You know.

58
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.040
We had creepers, we rolled up
our pants at the bottom, we

59
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.319
had white T shirt, we rolled
the sleeves, you know, we slipped

60
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:38.639
our hair back like greasers. Yeah, you guys like we're the straycat era.

61
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:46.199
I'm not knocking at I went to
many many of you know, underground

62
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:54.680
parties where the straightcat straightcta straycat or
strattening around. Very nice rockabillity to me

63
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:59.759
is probably as big of a staple
in the eighties as of course my genre,

64
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:04.240
the heavy metal eras style of music. Then remember the eighties, Bro,

65
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:10.680
we also started getting deeply into that
touch of alternative music, right right.

66
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:13.800
I would love to go back to
the eighties. Here's the question I

67
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:17.319
asked one of our future guests.
If you had a time machine, all

68
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.720
right, and you can go back
to any year in the eighties, what

69
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:26.360
year would it be? And would
you stay or would you come back?

70
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.279
Should I stay or would you stay? Would you go? Yeah, let's

71
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:35.399
see. I would probably take nineteen
eighty three, and the reason being that

72
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:40.160
was my senior here in high school. So senior year in high school,

73
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:45.720
I had the hair going, I
had the white levis. I was a

74
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:50.040
former jock because I decided to quit
playing sports because you get more chicks playing

75
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:54.959
rock and roll than you're doing sports. But that's another subject. I mean,

76
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:57.040
you know, the eighties, Bro, it was just it was a

77
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:00.319
time I think, when things were
a lot free. That was the time

78
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:06.079
where people could be different and still
accepted. We're talking all kinds of people.

79
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:12.279
You remember back then? What backyard
parties? Now, that was always

80
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:17.480
an eclectic group. You had dance
kind, you had rockabilly, punk,

81
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:23.439
you had punk, and everybody seemed
to get along then, you know what

82
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:27.879
I mean, everybody was on the
wavelength of the same. It seemed to

83
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:31.639
be an easier time. People got
along a lot better, and everybody wasn't

84
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:36.279
so uptight about anything. Well,
it was a world without the internet,

85
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:41.800
and that brings us to today's topic. It was a world without screens as

86
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:45.480
much as we have today. It
was a world where we didn't have to

87
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:49.040
live hunched over looking at a little
tiny screen, and we didn't go to

88
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:56.160
our homes and just spend countless,
countless hours in front of another screen.

89
00:06:56.360 --> 00:07:00.319
You were not trooped out yet.
No, So if we take it back,

90
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:03.360
you know, bringing the eighties to
a whole new generation, let's give

91
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:09.839
them a background what things were like. You know, we're talking nineteen If

92
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:12.720
we go to nineteen eighty four,
for example, let's take it to nineteen

93
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:15.399
eighty four. All right, so
nineteen eighty four a postage stamp. You

94
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:19.519
guys remember postage stamps. I know
the new generation will probably go, what

95
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:24.560
the hecks of postage stamp? Can
email it? For the love of Christ?

96
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:28.079
Right? Why would I want to
lick the back of a sticker,

97
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:31.519
put it on another piece of paper, and then send it and then wait

98
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:34.879
a couple of weeks till it gets
wherever it gets and then wait for a

99
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:40.759
response back that could take two months
even longer was Remember back then a form

100
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:44.879
of communication was writing a letter.
You remember when you were in school,

101
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:49.399
you had sometimes the homework of sending
a penpal. We had pen pals back

102
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:53.879
then, remember that. And you
wrote to somebody who you never met,

103
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:58.199
and you waited for the answer.
Sometimes they could take weeks to get the

104
00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.319
answer back. Yeah, now you
would call that a prison pell, yes,

105
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:05.240
you would. In nineteen eighty four, the price for a postage stamp

106
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:09.720
was twenty cents. Wow. They
went up two pennies in nineteen eighty five.

107
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.120
By the way, the cost for
you know, if you wanted to

108
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:16.879
buy groceries, the cost for a
loaf of bread was seventy one cents in

109
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:20.959
eighty four, seventy one cents for
some wonder bread. Do you remember what

110
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:24.839
was the offshoot of Wonderbread? You
know, the the generic brand? Do

111
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:28.160
you remember? I think that was
Webber's, wasn't it was it that?

112
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:33.480
Yeah, that sounds that's all right. But they were affiliated with the Peanuts

113
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:35.639
Gang. You remember the Peanuts Gang, right? Yes, yes, absolutely,

114
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:39.360
you can't forget the Peanuts Gang.
That's where you had Peppermint, Patty

115
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:43.360
and Lucy, and they were beating
the crap out of the kid that looked

116
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.600
the worst, you know, Charlie
Brown. But if you take Charlie Brown

117
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:50.080
out of that clothing and you put
him in a punk rock outfit, Charlie

118
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:56.559
Brown would be intimidating. He won't. Oh absolutely, always walking around with

119
00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.080
a dog. I mean, come
on, bro, Well he would have

120
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.639
been intimidating in today's society. Probably
not back then. Oh yeah, I

121
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.960
don't know if you think backle grown. Now, put your eighties goggles on,

122
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.240
close your mind, open your eyes
to this. Okay, you're walking

123
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:13.200
down the street, Okay, you're
in your white Levi's. You're probably in

124
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:18.200
like maybe like a pink Fucia tier
shirt collar up, yes, of course,

125
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:22.480
I said starched, and you probably
rolled the sleeves up just a bit

126
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:24.679
to show the guns that you had. Come on, bro, put yourself

127
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.200
where I'm that. And then you're
walking down the street. Then you see

128
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:33.000
this cat that resembles Charlie Brown.
Okay, but he's got to piercings on

129
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:37.279
his eye lid. Yeah, he's
walking around with a great looking dog that

130
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.320
doesn't have a license. You know, what I mean. He's got some

131
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:46.879
suspenders hanging down from his uh kind
of tore up Levi's He's got a T

132
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:54.000
shirt that says anarchy, a sid
vicious tattoo right above his navel. You

133
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:58.039
can't tell me that if you saw
Charlie Brown like that, the first thing

134
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.799
you would say is, oh my
god, he's going to take Tiffany away

135
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:05.039
from me tonight. You have to
admit to yourself, Charlie Brown would be

136
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:09.279
intimidating. He would, he would. But you know what wasn't intimidating back

137
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:13.799
then? That is today a gallon
of gas. The price for a gallon

138
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:18.200
of gas was a dollar twenty seven. Wow, a dollar twenty seven now,

139
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:22.320
granted it went down. It went
down in nineteen eighty five. It

140
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:26.840
went down about thirty cents. Can
you believe it? The cost of gas

141
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:31.879
then was equivalent to the cost of
a stamp nowadays to when you don't have

142
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:35.320
to lick the stamp because it comes
in a sticker form. That is correct.

143
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:41.120
There's some trivia right there. Minimum
wage was about three bucks three like

144
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.320
three dollars and fifteen cents back then. Really, I thought it was more

145
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:48.399
like two sixty five maybe two eighty
five. Bro, Well, nineteen eighty

146
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:52.159
four, it jumped. In nineteen
eighty five. It was three fifteen our

147
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:56.600
three thirty five, sorry, three
thirty five minimum away. Can you imagine?

148
00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:58.840
So you made three thirty five an
hour, and then you went to

149
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:03.679
take your fried chicken for a box
of twenty pieces of fried chicken. For

150
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:07.120
get this. Four ninety nine is
now, that's just a chicken. That's

151
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:11.639
not some side orders and business.
It was a meal. It was a

152
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:13.639
meal, yep, four ninety nine
for the family meal. You can't even

153
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:18.559
get chicken nuggets anywhere now, Bro, for all that price, you can't

154
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:22.320
even get a plastic bag for four
ninety nine. That's ten cents. It's

155
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:28.679
extra. Yeah. The average price
for a car was about six thousand dollars

156
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.279
brand new, and the average price
for a home in nineteen eighty four was

157
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:35.279
about one hundred thousand dollars a little
bit less. Ninety six thousand. Wow,

158
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:39.120
now that is insane. But you
know in some areas in America,

159
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:41.879
Bro, you could probably get a
home for that probably, but you gotta

160
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:46.919
imagine. So this was like an
hour area, like in the area of

161
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:52.519
California right now, you went to
like Houston, back then, prices of

162
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:56.440
homes were probably in the thirties.
Yeah, yeah, it's pretty crazy.

163
00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:58.879
We're gonna take a quick break.
When we come back. There's more Back

164
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:03.559
to the eighties, welcome back.
You were with Tiscano and changing. This

165
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.360
is a show called Back to the
Eighties. A couple of old jocks right

166
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.279
here from the eighties giving you updates
on what it was like to be back

167
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:13.879
into the eighties now, Tiscano,
I know this is something that is probably

168
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.840
on your mind as well as mine. The type of entertainment that we enjoyed

169
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:24.799
in comparison to today's type of entertainment
that some of our youth maybe are even

170
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:28.360
our younger adults enjoyed in comparison to
what we did. Well, for those

171
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:31.600
that don't remember too much, or
for the newer audience, you got to

172
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:37.679
remember that it was a different generation
of kids, a generation that the norm

173
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:41.919
was living outside. We weren't,
you know, as much as possible that

174
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:46.639
we can spend that time outside.
That's what made us happy. And for

175
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.320
us, going outside was an experience, yes, an adventure. Every time

176
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:54.360
you went outside with your friend,
it was an adventure. That is the

177
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.600
perfect word of my friend. We
used to have places that we used to

178
00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:05.600
love hanging out at. It's just
not like that anymore. And remember a

179
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:09.480
great place for for anybody to hang
out in the eighties, whether you were

180
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:16.480
a smaller, younger child, or
a teenager on that plateau. You remember

181
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:20.080
back in the eighties, the parks
always had programs for the youth, for

182
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:24.440
both teenagers and the younger ones.
Yeah, that's something that we don't have

183
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:35.799
nowadays exactly. I mean there were
kids hanging out at YMCAs why. Yeah,

184
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:41.679
I always wanted to be the cowboy, but that's another store. Um

185
00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:43.919
front yards we used to hang out. You know what, if we had

186
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:48.360
no money and maybe the parents weren't
the kind that would let you go too

187
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:52.759
far out, you'd hang You'd call
your friends, they'd all get together in

188
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:58.320
your front yard and you guys would
yeah, and we'd spend hours out in

189
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:03.960
the front of the house, joking
around, wrestling. I mean that would

190
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:11.360
even remember bike riding was popular then
it could popular. You know, that's

191
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:16.639
something that nowadays these kids don't do. They may ride a bike, maybe

192
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:20.799
what a station every bike, and
then they look at their apparatus like they're

193
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:24.399
really going somewhere. It's yeah,
or an electric bike. An electric bike.

194
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:28.679
We had no idea what that was. Back then, we knew what

195
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:33.159
mopeds were. Remember the mopeds?
Remember those things were crazy. Yeah.

196
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:35.399
The funny thing is, if you
ran out of gas with a moped,

197
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:39.399
you can always ride that home anyway
because it had pedaled. It was a

198
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:41.399
little bit harder, they'll remember,
a little bit heavy, Yeah, but

199
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:46.080
you could still do it. You
don't have that nowadays, No, No,

200
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:48.720
So we used to hang out at
parks, we used to hang out

201
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:52.240
at front yards. We used to
go to our friend's house all the time.

202
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:56.559
And it was interesting because it was
a time where our friends families got

203
00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:58.879
to know us really, really well. We'd get invited to eat at their

204
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:03.679
house. We'd get invited to have
dinner, maybe go on outings with him

205
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:07.919
because there was such a close relationship. Do you remember that. I recall

206
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.320
growing up in the neighborhood back in
the eighties and even prior to that,

207
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:16.360
but it was a time where every
friend of yours parents was kind of like

208
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:20.200
an uncle and an aunt exactly.
It was not shyed upon that if you

209
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:26.279
were misbehaving or doing something you shouldn't
be doing somebody else's parents or a good

210
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:30.559
neighbor could get on you and make
sure that you got home and make sure

211
00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:33.399
you were straightened up. You don't
see that nowadays. You know, it

212
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:39.480
was almost kind of like a family
block party every weekend or a week night.

213
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.559
Back in the eighties, that's with
your neighbors, your friends, your

214
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:48.240
friends parents. Things were just more
inviting. I remember going to the drive

215
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:52.000
in theater a lot. We don't
have drive ins, although with what's going

216
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:54.600
on now, they're talking we should. Yeah, they're talking about bringing them

217
00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.080
back. And you know what,
drive in theaters was such a huge thing

218
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:03.840
because that may at least some of
us that were not that old enough to

219
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:07.159
maybe go into a rated R movie
for example. Yet we used to be

220
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:11.120
able to go with friends in their
cars and go see that rated R movie.

221
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:14.600
Why because it was a drive in
theater. Now, do you remember

222
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:19.440
going to the drive in and then
it would play Woody Woodpecker cartoons or sometimes

223
00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:23.879
Tom and Jerry Car Absolutely, yeah, but yeah, the nostalgia of the

224
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:30.120
drive in it was it was a
family oriented event. But yet in the

225
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:34.480
eighties it was both family and then
you probably remember everybody's sneaking into a car

226
00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:38.200
whoever had a license a big car. You had a fan for a truck,

227
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:41.279
you were lucky, and then you
know you could get into the drive

228
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:45.720
in probably what for one fee of
a car load. Oh yeah, absolutely

229
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:49.799
supposed to be four people, but
you could put three people in the trunk.

230
00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:53.039
You could lay two people on the
back seat of the floor and put

231
00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:56.039
their feet on them. I mean
the fun that we had back then,

232
00:16:56.200 --> 00:17:00.039
and it was kind of it was
we were on the verge of doing some

233
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:04.160
crazy things, but all in all, the eighties were probably the last time

234
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:08.519
of having really good, clean fun. To me, watching the movie which

235
00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:12.599
when I know you're always you know, Ridgemond and High Yeah, that the

236
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:18.119
epiphany of what my high school was
like. And it it just makes me

237
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:21.119
smile. Every time I think of
that movie, I'll think of a scene

238
00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:25.400
or a character and it just anybody
out there, if you haven't seen that

239
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:27.640
movie, you have to see that
movie. And if you have seen that

240
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:32.759
movie, I know you will agree
with Toscando and I that you put that

241
00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:37.519
movie on and for one split second
it takes you back, and I get

242
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:41.319
that if you look in the mirror, you will have that same smile of

243
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:45.039
oz you want it as you did
at that time. In the eighties.

244
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:48.519
That's just me personally. No,
it's definitely me as well. And one

245
00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:52.759
of those places where we used to
hang out a lot, and it was

246
00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:56.720
probably because of that movie in particular
Fast Times that Ridgemond High was the mall.

247
00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:02.720
Oh, I mean remember going to
malls for kids was the place to

248
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:06.200
be and you didn't care. You
didn't care if you didn't you weren't going

249
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:10.160
to the malls to go buy clothing. That was that was a perk.

250
00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:17.160
Maybe sometimes it was like a Disneyland
trip, but for eighties kids that were

251
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:19.359
kind of we were in high school. We had grown out of the Disney

252
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:25.200
effect. But you just went so
you could see who was dressed, like

253
00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:29.279
what yea, what que girls were
there? Or girls? What you guys

254
00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:33.480
were there? Right right? How
many heavy metals were there? How many

255
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:37.880
disco chicks? Remember going to the
store Spencers then staying in there for hours.

256
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:41.720
Yeah, you used to be able
to go to Spencers and it was

257
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:44.559
hilarious because you know, all the
good stuff was way in the back.

258
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:47.920
Yeah, that's where you wanted to
go. You wanted to go back there

259
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:52.119
where it looked like drug paraphernalia was
being sold, but it was just it

260
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:56.799
was just like eye candy. You
remember lava lamps, black light absolutely posters,

261
00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:02.880
I mean come from an air.
Remember where the van was, just

262
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:07.079
coming out of shag Rug. I
remember shopping at the Gap. Remember going

263
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:11.119
to the Gap? I remember going
to the Gap. I remember the Miller's

264
00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:15.200
one of my oh my god,
Miller's Outpost. Everybody got their Levis there.

265
00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:21.519
If you got Levis, you'd get
him. At Miller's Outpost. You

266
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:26.640
were in nobody because everybody knew that
Miller's Outposts had the real Levi's. Back

267
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:30.160
then, they made such a big
deal. Do you remember this In the

268
00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:33.599
eighties, it was such a big
deal to wear brand name clothing. Dittos.

269
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:37.160
Remember when the girls wore dittos.
Yeah, I remember guests jeans.

270
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:41.160
If you had that little triangle on
the on the right side of your butt

271
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:45.200
cheek, you were in. You
were in. However, there was the

272
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:48.839
other side, there was the other
side. Like my buddy, I was

273
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:52.079
into guests jeans. Never could get
one because they were so expected. They

274
00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:56.119
were like sixty bucks back then.
So what did my mom my mom used

275
00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:00.319
to do. She goes, you
can't have that, but you can definitely

276
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:03.559
go to Miller's outpost and get a
pair of you know, real Levi's.

277
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:07.960
But you remember, Levi's go between
forty to sixty dollars depending on the type

278
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:12.960
of Levi, and they go into
from five h one to five hundred and

279
00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:18.559
sixty nine for some reason. Now, but remember back then it was five

280
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:22.640
o one and you could get a
pair of Levi's back then probably for like

281
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:26.759
fifteen dollars. But the quality of
the Levi back then bro was a lot

282
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:29.920
better. I don't know if you
recall this, maybe some of our listeners

283
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:33.680
do, but when you turned the
in scene on the leg of the Levi

284
00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:37.640
inside out, if it had the
red stitching, those were the Levi's that

285
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:44.359
were going past forever. I mean
you bear very ready, did you get

286
00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:48.599
a rip in them? And they
they used to fade into I thought one

287
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:55.359
of the softest, more attractive looking
gene than anything, because it was it

288
00:20:55.440 --> 00:21:00.119
wasn't that fake. It wasn't that
fake stone washed look that they got in

289
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:03.359
the nineties. You remember there in
the eighties, it got just a beautiful,

290
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:07.640
beautiful color. And remember the Jean
jackets as well. The funniest thing

291
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:11.160
about the Jeene jackets to me was
that They looked really really cool. But

292
00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:14.559
if it was cold, If it
was cold and all you had was the

293
00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:18.960
jean jacket, you you were screwed
because they weren't warm at all at all.

294
00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:22.880
It felt like they were wearing sandpaper
on the inside. Remember they were

295
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:26.839
so tight fitting you couldn't even wear
a sweater underneath. Exactly. You would

296
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:30.799
look like the incredible whole bust seeing
out of your clothing, and you would

297
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:36.720
ever buttoned them up. So do
you remember the Levi jacket was incorporated,

298
00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:41.319
I think in every type of fashion
that the eighties could allow. If you

299
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:44.359
were a punk or a rocker,
you cut off the sleeves, you put

300
00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:48.720
a patch of iron maiden, maybe
black sabbaths or some Judas priests on it.

301
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:53.039
You can be a stray cat the
same way. But those remember back

302
00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:57.880
then, the rockabilities would put studs
in their Levi jackets. They would start

303
00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:03.200
up the collar. But then remember
some of the cuter girls that were in

304
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:06.759
kind of the dance mix, remember
the dance craze. Yeah, they would

305
00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:11.279
wear their Levi jackis nights and tight, but it would always be middrift,

306
00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:17.359
yes, remember the yeah, and
sometimes put their scarves withhy them and stuff.

307
00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:19.400
They would roll up the sleeves up
to the elbow. So back then,

308
00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:26.279
the Levi jacket was a fashion statement. And that is probably about all

309
00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:32.960
because they had no warmth whatsoever.
Wearing a Levi jacket in the rain or

310
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:37.039
a cold weather, it's pretty much
going outside with a full body suit of

311
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:41.720
brief material underwear mature. You're going
to be freezing. It's going to be

312
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:48.079
freezing now. Members only. Look. The funniest thing about members only is

313
00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:55.400
my dad's favorite store. My dad
used to have. It's hilarious because they

314
00:22:55.480 --> 00:23:00.119
used to sell members only jackets everywhere
everywhere like jac panties. You know.

315
00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:03.960
My dad used to get him at
his favorite place, Fedko. Remember Fedko.

316
00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:07.640
It was like a costco type,
so you needed your membership, right,

317
00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:11.119
So he used to go to Fedco
and get him member's only jacket for

318
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:15.240
him and for me. We look
like twins, all right, and that

319
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:18.799
he used to get him in light
gray, dark gray, navy blue,

320
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:23.599
maroon. I think the only color
he didn't buy with because he didn't like

321
00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:27.920
him were the bright colors like yellow. Yes. I remember one time I

322
00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:32.119
received a gift from one of my
aunts and it was a member's only jacket,

323
00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:36.839
and I felt there was two emotions
that ran through my body sheer anger

324
00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:41.440
and sheer terror that I would have
to wear that and anybody would see my

325
00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:47.960
Keith Partridge long flowing hairs on jacket. I hated that. But you have

326
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:52.279
to admit they were very silky and
smooth. They were nice to wear.

327
00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:56.720
So get this. They were really
really comfortable and nice to wear it.

328
00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:00.920
But we were always embarrassed to wear
them because we looked like our older parents.

329
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:03.160
You look like your daddy, your
uncle at the golf course. It

330
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:07.200
was hilarious. Another one of the
places that I do remember that we used

331
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:10.759
to hang out are fast food joints. And I don't mean the places like

332
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:14.960
McDonald's. You know those places were
always there, but no our hangout places

333
00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:17.960
who are like I'm I'm gonna see
if you remember a few of these places,

334
00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:21.000
like I'm gonna throw you way way
back in the eighties. How about

335
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:25.039
Poppin Taco, Oh dude, I
remember that place. Yeah. Do you

336
00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:30.920
remember a place called Johnny's Broiler?
Yes, absolutely, they have to remember

337
00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:33.440
this. Hamburgers, Yeah, how
about Bob's Big Boy. Bob's Big Boy.

338
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:37.240
They still have some, of course
they're not the same. Have you

339
00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:41.319
noticed that even the taste? Have
you noticed that even the taste in fast

340
00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:45.160
food back then was just different.
I don't know if it's because of all

341
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:48.519
the chemicals today, it's just so
different. You used to pass by,

342
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:55.000
whether it be walking, driving on
your bike before, in the eighties,

343
00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:59.359
and you go through these fast food
places, like a Burger place right,

344
00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:04.079
and you can smell the charboiled meat
from like two blocks. Now, do

345
00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:08.240
you remember when McDonald's used to smell
like that? Yeah? Now, correctly,

346
00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:11.000
If I'm wrong, I don't,
you don't. I don't have my

347
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:15.079
monitor. Now. Wasn't Burger King
born in the eighties or were they born

348
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:18.799
in the late seventies and they made
their way a little bit bigger in the

349
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:22.440
eighties. I'm not really sure on
the date. I think I would like

350
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:26.960
to think it's the eighties, but
I'm thinking maybe seventy eight, seventy nine

351
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:30.799
Burger King was born. Burger King
was actually founded in nineteen fifty four,

352
00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:36.319
believe it or not. Indeed,
yeah, in Jacksonville, Florida. There

353
00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:41.279
were one year before McDonald's because McDonald's
was born in San Bernardino in nineteen fifty

354
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:48.000
five. But Wendy's was born November
fifteen, nineteen sixty nine. So those

355
00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:52.000
are those are some pretty cool bits
of history in some cool burger facts.

356
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:55.119
I was not allowed to eat a
fast food when I was a kid.

357
00:25:55.640 --> 00:25:59.279
No, when I was a kid, I would We had carte Blanche because

358
00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:02.799
you know, we used to ride
our bikes everywhere, and there was one

359
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:07.000
place in particular. It wasn't our
favorite for I mean, there were better

360
00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:11.359
burger places, but it was our
one stop place when we used to ride

361
00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:14.279
our bikes. We used to I'll
tell you the name of the place if

362
00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:18.519
you can guess it. You used
to get some French fries and a malt

363
00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:22.000
or a shake, and you could
spend hours there and people used to hang

364
00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:29.920
out there all the time with the
shakes, Foster's Freeze and then Tasty Freeze.

365
00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:34.119
Tasty Freeze. Now do you remember
a and w root beer? Remember

366
00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:40.400
that? Yeah? Yeah? And
they also sold burgers and fries and shakes

367
00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:44.240
and stuff like that and roop your
floats. Yes, yes, you're right.

368
00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:49.799
Now do you remember Woolworth? Now, Woolworth was definitely in most malls.

369
00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:55.039
It was in most malls. Yeah, now you know what out about

370
00:26:55.039 --> 00:27:00.519
Woolworth that was like a mini Walmart. You can get pets, furniture,

371
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:06.720
some grocery items. There was a
counter to get hot food, sleeping bags,

372
00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:12.640
washing machines. I mean, the
list is endless, but like the

373
00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:18.839
eighties were endless. It was,
and the kids from that generation knew,

374
00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:23.079
We knew where to hang out and
then also movie places. I mean,

375
00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:26.480
we used to love going to movies. We we theater hopped all the time.

376
00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:30.559
Before we used to we were able
to do that, but it was

377
00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:36.079
in experience. All these places that
we went back then were more of an

378
00:27:36.119 --> 00:27:40.680
adventure. Like you said, at
the beginning, time just stood still for

379
00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:44.720
us. Do you remember that It
felt like time just stood still and we

380
00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:49.599
were gonna last forever? And remember
playing miniature golf was a big thing to

381
00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:52.920
us back then in the eighties.
Oh my goodness. I used to live

382
00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:59.319
on the other side of the freeway
to where golf and stuff is where they

383
00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:03.920
filmed The Karate Kid and yes,
wax on, wax off grasshopper, that's

384
00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:07.680
right. And I used to go
to golf and stuff like almost every weekend,

385
00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:12.759
almost every weekend, and my dad
used to give me I did they

386
00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:17.319
used to have Oh my gosh,
the water slide. Yeah, right in

387
00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:19.640
the middle. That was one of
the first places I think in our area

388
00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:22.839
at the time bro that had a
water slide. Oh, no, it

389
00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:27.000
was. It was just unbelievable,
especially in the summer, lines of people,

390
00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:30.480
and then at night it was opened
up till midnight. I used to

391
00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:33.319
get there with a roll of quarters. My dad used to give me every

392
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:37.240
weekend. He used to give me
a roll of ten dollars, which I

393
00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:40.119
wish I would have saved and not
spent. But I used to get ten

394
00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:44.559
dollars and quarters put him in my
pocket. We'd ride our bikes to golf

395
00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:48.400
and stuff and play the entire night
at the at the arcade. Now,

396
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:52.920
what kind of bike did you have
in the eighties? Taking this, we'll

397
00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:56.000
go right back to our topic.
But what type of bike were you riding

398
00:28:56.039 --> 00:28:59.640
back in the eighties. I wanted
a Diamondback so bad. And my best

399
00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:03.079
friend and Mark, he had a
diamond back, beautiful, beautiful bike.

400
00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:08.160
And my dad never wanted to get
anything that was that expensive for me.

401
00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:11.839
I used to have a Murray.
You remember Huffey and Murray, Dude,

402
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:15.319
I remember Huffey and Murray. Now
I used to draw I was rolling on

403
00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:22.440
a Swin scrambler, but it was
a formerly stolen Schwins ground that. Why

404
00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:26.559
doesn't that not surprise me? Well, I didn't steal the bike, Okay,

405
00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:30.880
I made it from other stolen bikes. And this is because my Schwinn

406
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:37.400
sting rate that I had converted into
a dirt bike was stolen from me.

407
00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:41.839
So I grew up with very strict
parents. It's a very strict father who

408
00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:45.200
got mad at me for two reasons
when they stole my bike, Mario.

409
00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:48.640
One is because I did not put
my chain on the bike when I went

410
00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:52.480
in with a letter from him asking
the clerk to tell me cigarettes for him.

411
00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:55.200
So I didn't put my chain on
the bike. It was stolen.

412
00:29:55.599 --> 00:29:57.160
Then I got home, so I
was in trouble for that, and I

413
00:29:57.240 --> 00:30:02.119
was in trouble for getting my butt
laid out by two dudes. My old

414
00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:04.079
man said, you should have at
least knocked one of those guys out.

415
00:30:04.359 --> 00:30:07.799
And then you know what he said, did you bring my cigarettes and matches?

416
00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:11.240
So of course I hand it over
the salems. Now do you remember

417
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:15.599
back when children could actually pick up
items like that for their parents. For

418
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:19.279
their parents, we used to go
to the liquor store down the street,

419
00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:25.200
run in the corner, and I
used to buyout my dad his The brand

420
00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:32.200
of cigarettes he used to smoke were
either Marlboro Lights or True. Oh yes,

421
00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:36.599
I remember True, I remember True. Remember they had those cool filters

422
00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:40.640
where it had kind of like that
the Mercedes symbol. Yeah you know,

423
00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:48.240
I smoked, glamor saying and it's
yeah, yeah. They try to glamorize

424
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:52.279
anything back then. And the interesting
thing is that even though there was a

425
00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:57.000
lot of bad stuff happening to kids
as always, we still have that sense

426
00:30:57.079 --> 00:31:00.960
of freedom and it was just such
an incredible time that, you know,

427
00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:03.200
some of the best memories in our
life. And I know a lot of

428
00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:06.559
people say, well, you know, I would never go back to the

429
00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:10.880
eighties. My childhood was just so
bad, and I can understand that.

430
00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:15.000
But for those that were fortunate enough
to have a different kind of childhood,

431
00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:19.160
a childhood that they were able to
enjoy, that's the reason. That's the

432
00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:23.759
reason why we're doing this program so
we can go ahead and reminisce and also

433
00:31:23.920 --> 00:31:29.960
introduce the newer generation to our times, so you can kind of understand where

434
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:36.240
we're coming from. That we're not
these these old fogy type of people that

435
00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:41.279
have no idea what you guys go
through. It just different times, and

436
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:45.480
we want to introduce to you guys
to what we went through. I don't

437
00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:48.640
yeah, I don't want our listener
to think we're a couple of those old

438
00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:53.240
fogies where I remember back in my
day in the nineteen eighties. You know,

439
00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:56.400
we just want to give you,
guys, to show that you can

440
00:31:56.400 --> 00:32:00.759
sit around with your kids, and
we're gonna give it to you straight in

441
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:05.559
the face, but we're gonna be
like, we're gonna be comedic about this,

442
00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:08.960
so so both you and your children
can close your ice and both go

443
00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:14.519
back to that time without visually seeing
it. I mean, don't get us

444
00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:21.359
wrong, the eighties were messed up
in many ways than one. But yeah,

445
00:32:21.359 --> 00:32:23.519
out of bad politics and stuff.
But we don't need we'll talk about

446
00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:28.519
that right now. Let's let's keep
it family oriented and fun. But here's

447
00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:32.279
another place we used to hang out. Hangout at Arcades, and I think

448
00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:39.000
Arcades was the ultimate hangout place for
everyone growing up back in the eighties.

449
00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:43.720
Now do you remember that location,
I forget the name of it. It

450
00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:46.759
was zim Lapente, right, pie
Lapente Mall. It was that huge arcade

451
00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:51.240
right off the sixty Freeway. It
was kind of put on there and it

452
00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:53.240
was built like a ship, kind
of like it kind of gave you the

453
00:32:53.240 --> 00:32:58.039
effect of the Pirates of the Caribbean. I don't know if you remember that.

454
00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:00.400
They had kind of water around found
it. You had across like a

455
00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:06.079
drawbridge to go inside of the arcade. You could drive. You could drive

456
00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:08.599
those little cars and go around the
track and go to the bumper Car.

457
00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:14.240
If anybody out there knows the name
of that establishment, hit us on our

458
00:33:14.279 --> 00:33:19.079
Facebook or anyway. You can bring
it up on our next show when we're

459
00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:22.240
talking about that. I remember going
down to the Electric Planet and Montabello.

460
00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:27.440
In that place, Bro they sold
hot dogs and corn dogs and popcorn and

461
00:33:27.519 --> 00:33:31.359
soft drinks, and I mean they
had every video game. When MTV came

462
00:33:31.400 --> 00:33:36.279
out, they were just blasting and
pumping out MTV. But even prior to

463
00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:39.079
MTV, they were playing nothing but
like the best rock and roll that you

464
00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:43.039
can get. Back then, you
know, we're listening to Blondie, We're

465
00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:45.680
listening to the Pat Benatar, iron
Maid and Judas Priest. You had to

466
00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:52.359
bands like The Clash, and back
then music was very much the go to

467
00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:55.519
when you did go to an arcade. I don't know if you agree,

468
00:33:55.599 --> 00:34:00.440
but that that music that you would
hear at the arcade, it just it

469
00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:05.920
made that vibe so so real.
You really couldn't have one with the out

470
00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:07.960
the other. Yeah, I mean, do you agree absolutely? And let

471
00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:10.639
me let me paint the picture for
you. As we hear the sounds in

472
00:34:10.679 --> 00:34:15.920
the background, you open the door. The first noises you start hearing are

473
00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:22.440
the noises from the Defender from pac
Man. Oh yeah, Gallagha from Donkey

474
00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:29.920
Kong. You look down at your
feet and you see that space themed carpet

475
00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:35.320
that was was glow in the dark, and if you had anything white,

476
00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:40.159
it's just like because that's right,
because they had the fluorescent black light bulbs

477
00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:45.159
there. As you go through the
arcade, the sound of quarters being changed

478
00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:50.440
at the change machine as you put
in your dollar and it would spit out

479
00:34:50.480 --> 00:34:55.119
the quarters, and then you'd hear
people waiting in line and they're saying,

480
00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:58.840
I'm next, I'm next. They
put their quarters at the little edge of

481
00:34:58.840 --> 00:35:00.280
the machine way at the top.
You know they were next, and people

482
00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:05.519
have respected that. And then and
then as you go further into the arcave,

483
00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:09.800
you'd get on both sides. You'd
get all the pinball machines, and

484
00:35:09.920 --> 00:35:14.679
I remember that I could hear people
getting mad. You could hear glasses,

485
00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:19.280
you hear people. You could hear
like a frequent cuss word, people hitting

486
00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:22.199
the table. You would just hear
that. You would hear the metal ball

487
00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:27.119
hit the glass, and then people
would shake the and then it would tilt.

488
00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:30.679
You remember that it would tilt and
you'd lose that turn, you know,

489
00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:34.440
talking about that. I remember the
first thing I would listen to.

490
00:35:34.519 --> 00:35:37.920
You always heard somebody losing it pac
Man, and you heard that, you

491
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:43.320
heard that little song, you know, and you would hear somebody go damn

492
00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:46.960
it. Yeah, all the time. You remember when you would you walk

493
00:35:46.960 --> 00:35:55.119
in and you hear that that sound
of Defenders or Asteroid. I mean,

494
00:35:55.760 --> 00:36:00.719
it was insane because pictures of this
again, Bro, you're standing in the

495
00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:05.320
arcade and I can literally, right
now in my own mind here every video

496
00:36:05.360 --> 00:36:09.400
game that was going on at the
same time. But remember back then,

497
00:36:09.639 --> 00:36:15.599
you can go ahead and name each
game somebody was losing at because you just

498
00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:17.639
heard it. Yeah, you didn't
even have to see them. You just

499
00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:23.360
knew who was playing, how somebody
was doing, and if they were winning

500
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:28.239
or losing. And the great thing
about this is that arcades were a place

501
00:36:28.360 --> 00:36:31.960
for boys and girls and they were
also and you could see also back then

502
00:36:32.079 --> 00:36:37.000
grown ups were at these places as
well. Adults were at these places.

503
00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:40.239
I would see sometimes guys and ties
coming from work and they would go to

504
00:36:40.280 --> 00:36:45.199
the arcade, and it was just
something about being there. And then the

505
00:36:45.239 --> 00:36:50.840
cooler arcades actually sold refreshments and they
sold snacks, and that's when you know

506
00:36:51.199 --> 00:36:54.840
it was much better arcade specifically,
I'm thinking the one like the golf and

507
00:36:54.920 --> 00:36:58.880
stuff and things like that. And
then if you didn't want to play arcade

508
00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:01.639
and you want to go your way
and go to the bumper cars, or

509
00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:06.599
you wanted to go to mini golf, you had that opportunity. But we

510
00:37:06.679 --> 00:37:10.639
grew up in a generation that the
norm was to be outside, yes,

511
00:37:12.400 --> 00:37:16.199
anywhere outside. Now, this will
take you back. I remember cruising in

512
00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:22.719
on with your boulevard and me,
you know, growing up in East Los

513
00:37:22.760 --> 00:37:25.920
Angeles, Mountabella, California, all
the way to Pique Rivera. I remember

514
00:37:27.079 --> 00:37:31.960
cruising with your boulevard, you know, from Atlantic all the way up to

515
00:37:34.239 --> 00:37:37.800
probably right my neck of the woods
would have been Bluff Road right before you

516
00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:44.039
get into Piqua Rivera a cruise on
Sunday nights or Saturday nights. I was

517
00:37:44.079 --> 00:37:46.039
cruising on both nights. Bro believe
me. Back in the eighties, when

518
00:37:46.079 --> 00:37:52.039
you had hair like this, I
look like a Fabio with a Bruce Lee

519
00:37:52.119 --> 00:37:54.760
body. And I'm not lying to
you. I just remember. You can

520
00:37:55.400 --> 00:38:00.880
cruise up one way, cruise another
way. But back then you could get

521
00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:04.239
into a car with anybody and they
were strangers. But we were all more

522
00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:07.559
or less on the same vibe.
We didn't have to worry about us getting

523
00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:13.519
heard or maybe get napps and things
like that. I mean once in a

524
00:38:13.519 --> 00:38:15.559
while, but we won't go there. Yeah, well not on cruising nights.

525
00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:21.480
Sometimes it was asked for heydum,
Hey, what whatever. I'm just

526
00:38:21.599 --> 00:38:23.719
trying to get down there so and
get me a coke at Oris. Oh,

527
00:38:23.800 --> 00:38:30.119
and Oris was another place. Now
we used to go from time to

528
00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:31.840
time cruising and we used to stomp. It was like one in the morning

529
00:38:32.159 --> 00:38:37.039
at one of two places. One
was either King Tako, yes, or

530
00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:42.840
Tommy's with your boulevard. Yeah,
you know now, I used to like

531
00:38:43.000 --> 00:38:45.880
to go to Tommy's. But then
again, I think you remember. I

532
00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:47.719
don't know if you remember. I
remember going to the Tommy's when it was

533
00:38:47.760 --> 00:38:52.679
the very first one in La I
believe. It's off of the Rampart district,

534
00:38:52.760 --> 00:38:54.840
I believe. But that was a
good place because you had cruising over

535
00:38:54.920 --> 00:38:59.000
there. But on what your boulevard
it was. For me, it was

536
00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:02.519
stopping at our or it was stopping
at the Golden Ox, or it would

537
00:39:02.599 --> 00:39:07.320
be stopping probably up at Garduno's,
which was a good place to get a

538
00:39:07.320 --> 00:39:13.719
burrito. Or I remember cruising in
East La then and hanging around in front

539
00:39:13.719 --> 00:39:17.079
of the Golden Gate Theater Bro when
it wasn't even the theater. It was

540
00:39:17.079 --> 00:39:21.400
the shell of what it was.
The building was there, but they weren't

541
00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:24.679
holding movies there. And that takes
us another quick top. Remember the movie

542
00:39:24.719 --> 00:39:29.320
houses that we could go to do
back then. How extravagant some of the

543
00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:32.880
theaters were where we could go sit
down and watch a show. The huge

544
00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:39.480
balconies, the huge stage, the
lighting, the carpet in the theaters back

545
00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:44.199
then too, bro was very colorful, you know, everything and everything had

546
00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:50.000
a distinct smell, brand new smell. Yeah, those smells. If you

547
00:39:50.199 --> 00:39:53.559
really think about it, you can
remember what those smells were like. Isn't

548
00:39:53.599 --> 00:39:59.920
that incredible? Let me give you
one one particular smell when you wanted to

549
00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:05.400
go hang out or you wanted to
go spend some time at a music shop,

550
00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:10.639
and you used to go to either
a Licorice Pizza, a Sam Goodie,

551
00:40:10.880 --> 00:40:16.599
Music Plus was Music Music Plus,
and things like that. There was

552
00:40:16.639 --> 00:40:22.400
a particular smell when you walked in
there at the Vinyl you know, just

553
00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:28.719
phenomenal times. We're gonna take a
quick break when we come back, last

554
00:40:28.800 --> 00:40:32.679
round here, back to the eighties. Welcome back to the eighties. During

555
00:40:32.719 --> 00:40:37.000
the break, we were talking a
little bit about Bob's Big Boy and that

556
00:40:37.119 --> 00:40:43.000
was another place that was just phenomenal
to go have a good burger. Do

557
00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:45.679
you remember that? Do you remember
all the women wore the same hairstyle that

558
00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:49.719
was mine bogging To me back then, it was like they all looked like

559
00:40:49.800 --> 00:40:53.320
my mom, because I think everybody's
mother probably had that hairstyle like a Bob's

560
00:40:53.360 --> 00:40:58.559
Big Boy waitress. They all reminded
me of Flow at Mel's Diner. Oh,

561
00:41:00.920 --> 00:41:05.400
kiss my grits, you remember that? Yeah, dude, a lot

562
00:41:05.440 --> 00:41:07.199
of people are gonna be going Flow. Who was Flow? I don't check

563
00:41:07.239 --> 00:41:10.760
out Mel's Diner when you get a
chance to google it. I used to

564
00:41:10.800 --> 00:41:15.480
think Alice was a pretty sexy lady. Oh yeah, yeah, I used

565
00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:17.679
to think mel used to scare me. Now, I used to remind me

566
00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:21.519
of like, maybe one of these
guys gets angry and puts his chest hair

567
00:41:21.519 --> 00:41:24.199
in your food, or yeah,
maybe wipe sweat off his brow and put

568
00:41:24.239 --> 00:41:27.880
it on your first bit at your
food and things like that, or you

569
00:41:27.960 --> 00:41:30.559
get maybe some of his loose arm
hair and your pastrami. You know he

570
00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:35.119
did. He was that kind of
a guy. Bro a generation of children

571
00:41:35.239 --> 00:41:37.000
that had a lot to do.
We had a lot of time on our

572
00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:42.880
hands, and one of the things
that we loved spending time doing was listening

573
00:41:42.920 --> 00:41:45.559
to music. And we're not going
to get too much into that because that's

574
00:41:45.559 --> 00:41:50.280
for a later topic. However,
I do want to just quickly, briefly,

575
00:41:50.519 --> 00:41:52.679
just skim through some of the things
we used to do with music,

576
00:41:52.719 --> 00:41:58.519
and one of those or make mix
tapes, record of your mix tapes.

577
00:41:58.760 --> 00:42:01.679
But I was heavily into vinyl still
and as a matter of fact, I

578
00:42:01.760 --> 00:42:06.239
still have my collection of vinyl.
I would like to slow down the pace

579
00:42:06.800 --> 00:42:10.440
on some of the songs so I
could hear exactly what they're saying. So

580
00:42:10.480 --> 00:42:15.119
then I could sing along. You
remember doing that with your forty fives and

581
00:42:15.199 --> 00:42:19.119
your album your vinyl every now and
then. Yeah, Well, my family

582
00:42:19.199 --> 00:42:22.000
used to get mad at me because
I used to make thirty three sound like

583
00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:27.119
forty fives. Oh dude, I
hated that. Scratching the record. Yeah,

584
00:42:27.199 --> 00:42:30.639
don't be doing that. Every everything
sound like the Chipmunks back. Remember

585
00:42:30.679 --> 00:42:36.440
that for our listeners who don't know, the Chipmunks were three adorable little animated

586
00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:43.000
rodents that were brought on for the
entertainment and enjoyment to a lot of the

587
00:42:43.039 --> 00:42:46.480
youth. That's who those guys were. Yeah remember Simon, Yeah, Simon,

588
00:42:46.599 --> 00:42:51.760
Theodore and Alvin and then there were
three league what were the chipmunks,

589
00:42:51.880 --> 00:42:57.400
That's what they were. And Dave
dave Ville was the owner of these filthy

590
00:42:57.519 --> 00:43:02.320
rodents. But that would just in
the eighties. Now do you remember listening

591
00:43:02.400 --> 00:43:07.400
to when your cassette would you would
waste your cassette? Remember you could hear

592
00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:13.199
it spinning, But if you got
a pencil and stuck it inside the head,

593
00:43:13.639 --> 00:43:19.039
you could tightly rewind again, remember
and then play absolutely. Another thing

594
00:43:19.159 --> 00:43:22.960
is sometimes when your ghetto blaster for
those of us who had a ghetto blaster.

595
00:43:23.159 --> 00:43:28.119
Yeah, okay, sometimes a ghetto
blaster would mess up your tapes and

596
00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:31.519
yeah, you hear it go,
and so you'd pull out your tape and

597
00:43:31.559 --> 00:43:36.039
then oh, this big strand of
tape would come out. You were bummed

598
00:43:36.079 --> 00:43:39.960
out. But if they had yep, But if you had a pencil or

599
00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:45.840
a pen you can you can roll
that tape right back in there. It

600
00:43:45.880 --> 00:43:51.760
was a little it was a little
creased and kinked, but nevertheless, you

601
00:43:51.760 --> 00:43:54.599
can always you can always play it. But making mixtapes was one of the

602
00:43:54.599 --> 00:43:59.679
greatest things ever. Back when you
would listen back to that cassette and it

603
00:43:59.760 --> 00:44:02.719
had that crease, you could always
you always knew, yeah, but you

604
00:44:02.920 --> 00:44:07.199
the song was screw up, and
then you would get really mad ah ah.

605
00:44:07.400 --> 00:44:08.920
Then you got to get back into
beat with your song. Do you

606
00:44:08.960 --> 00:44:13.480
remember when that tape would break and
sometimes you would have to use scotch tape

607
00:44:13.760 --> 00:44:15.679
all the time, it played it
again where the scotch tape was at it

608
00:44:15.719 --> 00:44:22.320
went blank and then it went right
back. Yeah, I remember, you

609
00:44:22.360 --> 00:44:27.280
don't get that joy with a CD. You scratch, just keep you're screwed.

610
00:44:27.320 --> 00:44:30.440
You might as well just go ahead
and hang it outside so the sun

611
00:44:30.480 --> 00:44:31.920
can shine on and you don't get
woodpeckers. Yeah, some of the kids

612
00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:36.719
today, what are CDs? But
one of the interesting one of the interesting

613
00:44:36.760 --> 00:44:39.119
things was if you wanted to record
something off the radio because you waited,

614
00:44:39.199 --> 00:44:42.119
you heard, oh shoot, my
favorite song is gonna come on, I

615
00:44:42.119 --> 00:44:45.679
gotta record it. And then you
start recording and the DJ would not shut

616
00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:50.400
up, and he keep talking through
the way, wouldn't I kiss you off?

617
00:44:50.400 --> 00:44:52.239
And then when you go and listen
to the song, you're hearing the

618
00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:59.519
DJ huh hey, everybod it is
the real down still I'm not out.

619
00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:01.840
Yeah, and you're waiting for that
song and you're like, shut up,

620
00:45:01.880 --> 00:45:05.639
shut up, shut up, and
you're like, damn, we went through

621
00:45:05.679 --> 00:45:08.400
the whole thing and now I have
to go through the intro halfway. Yeah

622
00:45:08.440 --> 00:45:13.679
yeah. Another they're gonna know I
recorded off the radio. Yeah yeah.

623
00:45:13.760 --> 00:45:16.679
And that was like one of the
most embarrassing things because you wanted him to

624
00:45:16.719 --> 00:45:20.679
think that you had that, yeah, that you bought it, Yeah,

625
00:45:20.679 --> 00:45:25.000
that you bought the tape. And
it was there was just so much going

626
00:45:25.039 --> 00:45:30.960
on for all of us, and
so many great memories and this is the

627
00:45:30.039 --> 00:45:35.079
place, this is the only place
where you're gonna find nostalgia. You're gonna

628
00:45:35.079 --> 00:45:38.679
find a place where you can reminisce
in a place where you can actually suggest

629
00:45:38.679 --> 00:45:43.400
the topics for us to talk about
and what we hear at back to the

630
00:45:43.440 --> 00:45:45.960
eighties. Are gonna do something really
cool for you guys. In a couple

631
00:45:45.960 --> 00:45:50.920
of shows. We're gonna start giving
out our phone number, and you guys

632
00:45:50.960 --> 00:45:53.960
are gonna get that opportunity calling the
show and talk to us about your particular

633
00:45:53.960 --> 00:46:00.480
experiences of back to the eighties.
Not Criscon. Our promise here is to

634
00:46:00.559 --> 00:46:05.719
incorporate the listener. That's something I
believe and I both of us agree that

635
00:46:05.920 --> 00:46:10.000
is truly missed in the art of
radio. I think it's truly missed from

636
00:46:10.039 --> 00:46:15.599
the days of connecting with people.
We come from an era remember when radio

637
00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:20.480
was our only form of entertainment.
We had no television, so your personalities

638
00:46:20.519 --> 00:46:22.920
had to come through a lot and
clear on the radio. Correct. I

639
00:46:23.000 --> 00:46:29.480
think me and you believe that a
great radio show is one that is going

640
00:46:29.519 --> 00:46:32.519
to take people back, make them
feel good and forget about whatever bad is

641
00:46:32.559 --> 00:46:37.400
going on around them. But not
only that, I think people want to

642
00:46:37.440 --> 00:46:44.039
hear jocks that are like your friends. We would like people to invite us

643
00:46:44.079 --> 00:46:47.880
into your living room like me and
Tuscano showed up at your doorstop without bringing

644
00:46:47.920 --> 00:46:52.760
pizza uninvited. You know, we
wanted to be family friendly. We want

645
00:46:52.800 --> 00:46:54.320
you to bring the kids. And
you know we're going not going to use

646
00:46:54.360 --> 00:46:58.840
profanity. But the one thing me
and Tuscano asks if you're going to bring

647
00:46:58.880 --> 00:47:01.840
your children into the show, or
if we're going to randomly pick your living

648
00:47:01.920 --> 00:47:07.079
room and Bombard didn't do the show
from there. We asked that your children

649
00:47:07.119 --> 00:47:10.239
are polite, respectful, uh,
and they and they bring us popcorn.

650
00:47:12.119 --> 00:47:15.639
I like mine lightly salted, I
like it buttered heavy. I'll take a

651
00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:20.480
darker soft drink. Kool Aid's fine. I know my good friend Tiscano enjoys

652
00:47:20.480 --> 00:47:22.920
a good kool Aid, probably a
little bit make for water. Now,

653
00:47:22.960 --> 00:47:29.800
Toscano his treat is he likes chocolate
things. Feel free to bring M and

654
00:47:29.960 --> 00:47:36.960
m's. Yeah. Scott also likes
deep chocolate, so a dark chocolate is

655
00:47:36.960 --> 00:47:42.199
fine. Toscano, that you may
like some of these kids to bring us

656
00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:45.400
when we are doing the show with
them. We definitely enjoy a good TwixT

657
00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:50.920
three Musketeers. And if you have
that good old eighties watch the McCall it.

658
00:47:51.199 --> 00:47:54.440
Do you remember that you remember that
bar watch McColl Did you enjoy those?

659
00:47:54.840 --> 00:47:58.719
Oh? I love them? You
know what. It's funny because I

660
00:47:58.719 --> 00:48:01.199
had one a couple of months ago
and it wasn't the same, and I

661
00:48:01.239 --> 00:48:05.679
thought to myself, really, I'd
like this. I don't know why the

662
00:48:05.840 --> 00:48:08.960
seven to eleven under the candy shelf
that maybe was there since nineteen eighty five.

663
00:48:09.000 --> 00:48:14.519
I have not heard about a watching
would call it in a long time.

664
00:48:14.800 --> 00:48:17.519
There still made, my friend.
That is good radio right there.

665
00:48:17.599 --> 00:48:22.800
You see that how you sparked up
a candy that no one remembered. I

666
00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:27.039
used to call, Hey, can
I get a singam jig? This is

667
00:48:27.079 --> 00:48:31.159
Toscano and I'll be happy tiskano chang
here back to the eighties. Don't forget,

668
00:48:31.440 --> 00:48:36.960
stay safe, be good, enjoy
a great talent with your family now

669
00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:42.360
that we can now that we're quarantine, and remember overall, don't forget.

670
00:48:42.679 --> 00:48:45.199
Be good to your neighbor. That's
right, you guys. Remember to hang

671
00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:50.800
tight and watch out for each other. Think before you do anything else.

672
00:48:50.880 --> 00:48:54.639
Remember the way you act and the
way you perceive yourself is the way that

673
00:48:54.679 --> 00:48:58.119
you are going to be taken.
And that, my friend, is the

674
00:48:58.159 --> 00:49:00.559
best way to show people how to
be showy. Example, do one thing.

675
00:49:01.039 --> 00:49:05.840
Keep your distance away. This is
something we are not playing with.

676
00:49:06.320 --> 00:49:08.400
We have to take care of each
other so we can beat this. Make

677
00:49:08.440 --> 00:49:12.760
sure you're healthy and you're ready to
go with us on the next show.

678
00:49:13.079 --> 00:49:15.599
And always stay lifted and gifted you
guys out there, and don't drink and

679
00:49:15.679 --> 00:49:20.679
drive. That's the number one thing
that we want to tell you out there,

680
00:49:21.440 --> 00:49:23.440
especially at these trying times. A
lot of people. You may get

681
00:49:23.480 --> 00:49:27.599
frustrated. You may want to hit
some alcohol, or you want to get

682
00:49:27.599 --> 00:49:30.079
loaded, and you want to go
for a drive because you're tired of being

683
00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:32.559
at home. You can't do that. You've got to make sure that you

684
00:49:32.639 --> 00:49:37.679
are all in one piece mentally and
physically, and you're watching off for each

685
00:49:37.719 --> 00:49:39.920
other. If we don't watch out
for each other cats, then nobody's going

686
00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:43.159
to do it for us. Isn't
that right to us? Kind of?

687
00:49:44.360 --> 00:49:50.719
Let's give the government a reason to
allow us back into society the right way,

688
00:49:51.159 --> 00:49:55.119
rather than have our liberties starting to
float away somewhere. Don't forget next

689
00:49:55.119 --> 00:50:05.119
Friday, we're taking a trip back
to the eighties that calling day and take

690
00:50:05.239 --> 00:50:10.719
it back now. I to go
back, to take it back tow
