1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:30.800
Ye pay me back. Whoa you
are listening to? Back to the eighties.

2
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:36.439
This is Toscano and Chang with you. Welcome once again another Friday here

3
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:41.799
trying to survive the COVID, trying
to survive the election news madness, and

4
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:46.960
just about everything else, like it
wasn't enough with COVID nineteen Chang, how

5
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:53.479
the heck are you? My lord? Yeah, I want to welcome everybody

6
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:58.000
to back to the eighties. That's
right, this is the infamous legend in

7
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:03.560
my own mind. The Chang are
wishing you all a blessed Friday and age

8
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:07.599
blessed weekend to be. There's no
other place that I would rather be on

9
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:15.599
a Friday than right beside my partner
in crime, my squad car rider.

10
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:22.280
Sometimes he drives, sometimes I do. The guy that is like a marble

11
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.840
that rolls with me everywhere we roll
to on the air, mister Tuscannell,

12
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:34.079
and I want you all to remember
just to breathe now, forget about all

13
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.560
the crap that is upset you,
and let's have fun and talking about fun.

14
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.000
Let's go back to the eighties when
we were all having fun. Oh

15
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:45.359
yeah, yeah. And on that
note, I do want to let you

16
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:48.959
know that we have a Facebook page, we have Instagram, we have all

17
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.200
that good stuff. But if you
want to get in touch with us for

18
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.120
whatever reason, or you want to
let us know and maybe an idea for

19
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.680
an upcoming show, feel free to
do so. Drop us in line at

20
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.840
our Facebook page and will be more
and happy to get back with you as

21
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:05.879
soon as possible. We are Tiscano
and Chang, and what we're doing is

22
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:09.479
introducing the eighties back to a new
generation. Hey Chang, you know this

23
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:15.000
past week has been very, very
warm here in southern California. It's been

24
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:19.879
chaotic. I think to all with
California. I believe what we're up at,

25
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:25.120
three hundred fires amongst California as a
whole, from northern to central Jalkaskel,

26
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.560
I believe it's wild. It's wild. I never thought it was going

27
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:31.319
to be this hot. And not
only is it hot in southern California,

28
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:38.360
but Arizona as well. I took
a short little trip with the family and

29
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:44.159
we were in Arizona and we went
to Lake Havasu City and I sent you

30
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:49.520
that picture one twenty nine degrees when
we got into the car, so it

31
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:52.719
was it wasn't the best I do
want to give a big shout out to

32
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:57.520
Robert Galletta and his family. I
met Robert at the lake. He's got

33
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:00.560
a beautiful boat. He had his
family with him. He had a couple

34
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:04.960
of little dogs, really really cute
dogs, and he had a He did

35
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.360
something really really cool for us,
which just takes take some pictures of the

36
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:13.319
family with his drone. So Robert, thank you so so much for taking

37
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:15.120
the time and doing that. That
was very kind of you. And thanks

38
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:20.280
for sticking around here with this madness
here with back to the eighties and Robert,

39
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:23.680
this is Chang. Welcome aboard the
Toscano and Chang back to the eighties

40
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:30.400
radio program. Thank you and hope
you enjoy the vibe that we are trying

41
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:32.479
to keep alive, and that vibe
is from the eighties. I mean,

42
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:39.199
we're gonna be like Muhammad Ali or
Mike Tyson taking somebody out with that kind

43
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:45.319
of nostalgic punch. Do you not
agree to scan wholeheartedly? My friend?

44
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:51.360
This week, we put a post
on our Facebook page that got quite a

45
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:55.120
bit of comment on there, and
the question was, which is also the

46
00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:00.280
topic of the day, what are
some of the things that we did in

47
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:05.360
the Eighties that kids today will never
experience. I'll let you ponder upon that

48
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:12.159
in just a second as we take
a little break and get ready to tackle

49
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:20.920
the eighties. That's because we had
lived through this decade. You're listening to

50
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:29.519
Back to the eighties. Welcome back, everybody. You are listening to back

51
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:32.319
to the eighties. I am Chang
up to Scotto and Chang. We're talking

52
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:40.160
about things that people now in this
generation are not going to experience now firsthand.

53
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:45.959
One of the greatest funniest things I
think I remember doing of all time

54
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:49.240
in the eighties, and that is
is going to the drive. And we've

55
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:54.959
discussed that on a past show,
but that, uh, that whole scene

56
00:04:55.079 --> 00:05:00.439
was always something pretty cool to watch
movies. You watch cartoons. You I

57
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:04.800
remember going into hangling my buddies.
You take lawn chairs and you just make

58
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:08.360
a party out of it, you
know what I mean. And you eat,

59
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:12.600
you watch the movie, and you
joke around. You get that nice,

60
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.439
cool, refreshing summer air. I
mean, dude, I mean your

61
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:20.000
other cars are doing It's like a
tailgate party without his sporting event, but

62
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:25.720
a movie exactly. No talk about
happy days. It was just so much

63
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:28.959
fun, you know, in the
beginning, back in when I first started

64
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:30.680
going to drive ins, which is
back in the seventies as a little little

65
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:35.839
kid, I remember my parents used
to hang the big metal speaker on the

66
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:40.759
window, you remember that. And
then in the eighties, somewhere I don't

67
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:44.839
remember what year it was, but
somewhere in the eighties they changed it to

68
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:48.560
where you can tune into you know, it was close circuit radio or whatever,

69
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:51.399
so you can tune into a certain
radio station and it would come in

70
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:55.839
through the speakers of your car,
rather than that cheesy metal box that you

71
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:59.639
would hang on the window that actually
cracked some windows back then because it was

72
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:03.439
so now. You remember when they
had the wire that would either clip to

73
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:09.720
your metal rod antenna or if you
had the window antenna, the windshilled antenna.

74
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:13.439
They had that little flat thing that
would fit in the corner. And

75
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:16.040
then you go to a Pacific radio
station and then you can you can hear

76
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:18.759
the movie. I do remember all
that, and then you could hear it

77
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:23.600
through your speakers sometimes if you had
a lot of speakers, if you had

78
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:25.959
a van or a truck. I
mean, it was just a party.

79
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:30.120
It was like a place to meet
people, get your groove on and whatever

80
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:31.800
kind of activity you like to do. But it was, it was.

81
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:38.560
It was definitely a time that was
always something I was never going to pass

82
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:43.000
up on. I would pass up
on other crap if I knew my crew

83
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.040
was going to go to the driving
because we you know who knew what the

84
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:47.079
hell was going to break loose?
Now? The driving was one of my

85
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:50.839
favorite things to do. As we
posted this on Facebook, I had no

86
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:56.480
idea how much attention this post.
It was such a simple post that it

87
00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:00.560
was going to get, and just
I want to think every single person who

88
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:03.240
put their their thoughts on there,
there's just too many. So we'll take

89
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:08.000
a few at a time and we'll
just elaborate on each one and give you

90
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:13.360
guys what we went through with those
particular experiences. Gary Mason said, kids

91
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:16.040
today will never experience eating bonkers candy. He said, God, I miss

92
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:24.160
those and also decent cartoons. I
would have to take a pass on the

93
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:29.879
bonkers candy. I do remember the
bonkers candy, and he is here's what

94
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:34.959
I didn't like about bonkers candy.
Bonkers candy was it always fooled me because

95
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:39.680
when we would get bonkers candy for
Halloween, sometimes I'd pull it out.

96
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:44.120
I think it's some type of bubblegum, and they came it looked just like

97
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:47.240
hubba bubba. And when you open
Bonkers candy, which is fruit flavors fruit

98
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:50.120
candy, you opened it up,
looked like gum. You pop it in

99
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:54.040
your mouth and it was not gum
at all. It was kind of like

100
00:07:54.519 --> 00:08:01.639
a bigger version of Starbursts sort of. Okay, okay, yes, Starbirth

101
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:05.040
was a really bad candy. Yeah, I never I never could get used

102
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.759
to the chewiness because it would always
get stuck on my teeth. But what

103
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:13.240
about yew? Gary also mentioned decent
cartoons, and I gotta agree with him

104
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:18.560
there. However, I must admit
I do like the the better quality of

105
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.800
the cartoons that we have today,
but I do feel that we don't have

106
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:30.879
today. Kids will never experience the
variety of cartoons these, not only the

107
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:35.960
variety, but I think the true
essence of a cartoon, which is child

108
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:45.039
entertainment, which is typically fantasy and
not so much reality, not so much

109
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:54.200
of the mainstream type behavior of humans
as opposed to cartoons. And let me

110
00:08:54.080 --> 00:09:00.279
you understand where I'm going. If
you if you have young ones nowadays and

111
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:05.240
you watch the cartoons now, a
lot of the cartoons make the characters to

112
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:09.559
be more human like, even if
they don't look like it. So the

113
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:13.600
attitudes are the same, the snotty
attitude of the child, the snotty attitude

114
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:20.399
of the teenager. How they downplay
the adults is kind of being dumb or

115
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.639
that of the joke, the butt
of the joke. Yeah, and back

116
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.919
then you didn't. You just didn't
have that. You had it was all

117
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.960
about respecting parents, doing the right
thing. And yeah, back then,

118
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:37.879
I mean you were talking about okay
cartoons back especially in The Driving Brother You

119
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:41.120
remember Tom and Jerry, which was
made before the eighties, of course,

120
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:46.960
but that was a cartoon play Woody
Woodpecker. Oh yeah, I mean Heckel

121
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:52.200
and Jekyl Mighty Mouse. Even though
these are older cartoons, but they were

122
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:56.399
really really hitting hard in the eighties
with the small crowd. And then you'd

123
00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:00.679
get cartoons like he Man, you
know, Matter to the Universe, you

124
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.559
got the Shi Ray, you got
the Ninja Turtles. You had so many

125
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:11.879
different types of cartoons, and unfortunately
that is definitely something Gary who mentioned that,

126
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:18.080
it's definitely something that kids today just
cannot experience, like we did.

127
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:22.559
I know that. Somebody mentioned online. Oh you know, kids today do

128
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:26.000
exactly what they did in the eighties. No, they don't, No,

129
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:30.639
they don't. They do some of
the things like so there's some of course,

130
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:33.679
there's some kids that play in out
their play outside to the lights come

131
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:37.799
on and things like that. But
there's stuff that kids won't understand today.

132
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:39.879
They just don't. And one of
them, and this is brought to you

133
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:46.000
by Ivan Serrano, he said,
making mixed tapes from the radio. Kids

134
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:50.639
will never understand that unless they start
buying tapes, and most people would probably

135
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:54.639
think that they're crazy. And I'm
one of those crazies. By the way,

136
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:58.320
I've been doing a lot of mixed
tapes lately. Now that is both

137
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:03.960
scary and hilarious because I would love
to hear one of your mix tapes.

138
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:07.240
But you know, as a matter
of fact, as a matter of fact,

139
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:11.360
I'm gonna show you. I'm gonna
show you so you can see that

140
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:15.919
I'm actually Yes, are you going
memorex or what are you using? Yeah?

141
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:20.320
No, I'm using I'm no,
I'm using tdks. Tdks they're Type

142
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:26.720
two cassettes and I'm also using Maxel
Type two cassettes, and I got this

143
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:33.039
great, great um state of the
art audio file cassette deck that I really

144
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:37.679
enjoy. But oh, so you
have anyway technology in your old school style.

145
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:43.759
Well, no, it's an old
This is a very early nineties cassette

146
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:46.080
deck. I mean, I think
it's ninety or ninety one, so it's

147
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:50.000
just getting out of the eighties.
But it's it's it's just a phenomenal cassette

148
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:54.000
deck that I'm enjoying. Like I
said, I haven't touched cassettes in so

149
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:58.159
long, but now that I'm listening
to cassettes, I'm listening to records again.

150
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.080
I'm not going back. I'm not
listening to MP three's anymore unless I'm

151
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:05.000
traveling or you know, in the
car and stuff like that. But there's

152
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:09.919
a lot involved. It's hands on. It's that ability that you get,

153
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:13.279
that joy, that happiness that you
get of holding the music that you make

154
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:18.240
holding it in your hand. You
you know, you're you're working all the

155
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:22.320
controls, you're making it happen,
so you are taking part in producing that.

156
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:26.440
Plus when you give this away to
somebody, it means a lot more

157
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:31.200
than just making a playlist of you
know, of MP three's on iTunes right

158
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:37.159
now. Then I will say this
on behalf of myself with my Facebook page

159
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:41.320
Changsters Gangsters of Rocks, you could
kind of say that is my own personal

160
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:48.200
mixtape. But I am not physically
recording the songs. I am not steaking

161
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:52.799
because as you know, I go
from for the name of the mind of

162
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.279
music times, so you never hear
my voice says if I was on the

163
00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:01.799
radio or talking out of mixtape pop
shows on there, and I do crazy

164
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:07.200
captions, So in a way,
that is how I in a form make

165
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:13.720
a mixtape, and also in the
generations nowadays kind of make a mixtape,

166
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:18.840
but they have where they load their
own songs and they put them in their

167
00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:24.000
own playlists. So definitely, one
of the big things I want to do

168
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:30.279
is to get people interested in technology
of the past as well, because look,

169
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:33.480
these systems are not digital. This
is all analog, but so are

170
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:37.159
records, you know, turntables analog
and what you get when you listen to

171
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:41.919
this, believe it or not,
there are tapes. There are Type three

172
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:45.559
tapes, I'm sorry, Type four, Type two and Type four tapes with

173
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:50.000
a really good cassette deck that sound
just like a record. Believe it or

174
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.159
not, and they can compete,
believe it or not. They can even

175
00:13:54.200 --> 00:14:00.799
compete against the CD more detailed in
spite of the hiss that sometimes can come

176
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:05.159
across cassettes, they sound more detailed
than him any MP three. You know

177
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:09.080
what, talking about these mixtapes real
quick. I have a cousin. Let's

178
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:13.720
give him a shout out. His
name is Ray Ramirez from Montabello, California.

179
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:18.720
Now my cousin Ray. He has
a collection of AID tracks. Still,

180
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:22.039
he has a collection of cassettes.
He has a collection of his own

181
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:26.440
mixtapes that he's made. You know
what, it would have been great to

182
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:31.279
get him on the segment that we're
discussing, or maybe our music segment that

183
00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:37.879
we did in the past, because
he would agree with urinology of what it's

184
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:45.120
like to create a mixtape, and
I would. I think he would be

185
00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:48.720
blown away if you've seen his collection. I think if any one of our

186
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:52.399
listeners seen his collection, they would
be blown away. It's funny, we're

187
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:56.159
back to the eighties, We're talking
about tapes in twenty twenty. This is

188
00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:01.440
amazing. Somebody mentioned this following thing
in there, absolutely right, and they

189
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:05.240
said being able to talk on the
phone for hours. First of all,

190
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:09.279
not knowing who's on the other line. You always wanted to find out.

191
00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:13.039
Secondly, talking on the phone for
hours. Third, being able to go

192
00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:16.919
to pretty much any place in the
house with that long, long chord if

193
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:20.600
you had a long, long chord. If not, you were stuck right

194
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:24.960
there close to your phone wherever the
phone was at. But do you remember

195
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:28.519
those days when we had those phones
with a really really long chords. Oh,

196
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:31.200
dude, I remember those days.
I remember. Finally my parents busted

197
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:35.000
out. They got two phones,
one of the back of the pad and

198
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:37.000
then one of the front of the
pad, you know what I mean.

199
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:39.639
So wherever you were, you could, you know, run to eis phone,

200
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.960
and both phones had those long chords. You know what, dude,

201
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:48.480
the rope and dope chords. If
they got all tangled up, then they

202
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:52.120
were all stuck together, and then
they just shot up right by the phone.

203
00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:54.000
If he was hanging on the wall, you know what I mean.

204
00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:56.679
Some people can even jump rope with
their phonechords that were so long. Yeah,

205
00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:00.320
you know what, man, I
think if you're bored and off on

206
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:03.320
the phone enough or inebriated enough,
you're gonna find some fun to do with

207
00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:07.360
one of those long chords. I
mean, you know what I'm saying,

208
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:11.120
Bro, You could probably lastle your
cat or your dog with one of those

209
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:15.120
phone cords. Back Jason Gustafson,
I'm sorry if I killed your last name,

210
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:19.840
Jason. But he mentioned call calling
your friends to see if they were

211
00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:25.240
home and see if they can play
outside. Do you remember that we actually

212
00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:29.200
took the time to call our friends
home sometimes and see if they were available

213
00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:30.799
to play outside, And sometimes their
parents said, no, they can't play

214
00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:34.120
tonight, they're in trouble. Oh
do you remember that they're in trouble?

215
00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:37.759
Well? I remember that. Do
you remember crank calling people? Oh?

216
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:44.159
My goodness. We would prink call
people all the time, especially like if

217
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:47.399
I would spend the night at my
friend's house one and two in the morning,

218
00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:51.519
we'd call and I'll never forget.
We'd ask him, excuse me,

219
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:53.799
ma'am. You know, they'd wake
up in the middle of the night and

220
00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:59.279
excuse me, ma'am. Is your
refrigerator running? Yes, And then we'd

221
00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:02.360
scream out and you better go catch
it, you know, stupid things like

222
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:03.799
that, and they would, Yeah, they would cuss us out and stuff

223
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:10.240
like that. Greg Killian said,
seeing Star Wars at the drive in.

224
00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:14.759
But I think Star Wars is,
you know, late seventies. Unless he's

225
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:18.160
talking about Empire strikes back or Return
of the Jedi or something like that,

226
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:21.319
that's when that would have to be, because didn't Star Wars come out in

227
00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:27.720
the late seventies. I want to
say, but seven seventy nine, Robert

228
00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:33.559
Millis said, drinking water from a
hose? Do you do you remember when

229
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:36.920
we used to drink water from the
hose, and and sometimes the water would

230
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:41.880
the first sip of water was always
hot, and the taste was disgusting.

231
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:45.279
It just tasted like pure rubber from
the hose. Yeah. I remember doing

232
00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:47.839
that, man, I remember.
But then sometimes, man, once that

233
00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:52.000
day gets cold, it's like no
other drink you don't even want to share

234
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:56.279
with friends, get away from my
own trawl. You. I remember that.

235
00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:00.640
I remember that. No, here's
something do you remember this back of

236
00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:06.160
the baby stuffing that I think I
truly miss slurpies, Oh my goodness.

237
00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:11.640
Yeah, when it was so hot
outside, yeah, oh absolutely. And

238
00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:15.079
then I remember the coke flavor when
it came out. But still my favorite

239
00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:18.119
flavor of all time has always been
the cherry flavor. Oh yes, I

240
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:21.920
used to like to go suicide.
Oh, put a little bit of everything.

241
00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:23.759
Yeah, a little bit of everything, man, I mean that was

242
00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:26.960
the way to go. You know
what I'm saying. I mean, you

243
00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:34.960
just get every level has a different
taste. It's almost like it's almost like

244
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:42.799
eating five types of sweetness at one
time. It's like beyond brain freeze.

245
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:48.119
It's just like extremity freeze. You
just get lost in the taste war.

246
00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:52.279
Yeah, it took it to another
level. Somebody mentioned here if we remember

247
00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:56.319
when we wanted to eat pizza,
we didn't know who to call. We'd

248
00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:02.359
run our fingers through the Yellow Pages
and we'd find a bunch of pizza places.

249
00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:06.200
You remember that, finding a pizza
place in the Yellow Pages. Oh

250
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:07.960
yeah, dude, I remember that. But depending on where you live,

251
00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:11.279
usually you had your own pizza place
to go. I know, growing up

252
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:18.240
in in monte Vello, we used
to call Vito's Pizza and that was right

253
00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:22.519
across the street from Beverly Hospital on
Beverly Boulevard. I mean, and it

254
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:26.960
was just like down home New York
pizza. These were oh they were Italians

255
00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:33.839
like you exactly, but these were
New York Italians. These get They were

256
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:38.680
probably like your dad and your uncle's. Yeah, that type of old school

257
00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:42.799
you know what I mean. They
no messing around, hard working from the

258
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:47.920
old country. Yeah, yeah,
you know, but man, they they

259
00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:51.839
made some of the greatest pizza I
think that I've ever ever had. To

260
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:56.640
this day, nothing compares with the
growing up eating Vito's Pizza and Montabello.

261
00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:00.000
I don't know if any of our
listeners out there, maybe they are are

262
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:08.160
from Montabello. If you are chime
in something on Vito's Pizza in Montabello excellent.

263
00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:11.799
It was a great place to get
each other. That sounds great.

264
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:15.039
As somebody mentioned here that when you
had a crush on somebody, Eugene Floris

265
00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:19.359
said, calling your crush and their
parents answered the phone. Oh and then

266
00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:22.920
you hang up right away. Yeah, yeah, because you were throwing embarrassed

267
00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:26.680
and you were there listening hoping it
wasn't then worth that they wouldn't recognize you.

268
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:30.240
Those were the days that when that
happened, you would have to like

269
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:37.039
pass notes. Note passing is a
thing of the pass It's an art of

270
00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:41.240
the past. You remember writing notes. Anybody growing up in school back then

271
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:45.839
eight or even way before that also
remembers given notes. I don't think one

272
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:51.440
kid today passes notes. Do you
think they passed notes anymore? I don't

273
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:53.960
think they passed notes anymore. I
think they passed pharmaceutical drugs, but I

274
00:20:53.960 --> 00:21:00.279
don't think they passed notes. You
know what is a loss a lost art

275
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:07.200
form? Talking on the phone passing
notes? Was that gateway to hooking up

276
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:11.480
and then meeting one Friday night or
a weekend night at the drive in in

277
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:18.000
both of your separate groups, and
then having that ultimate hookup. That's another

278
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:22.799
great memory I have, and I'm
sure a lot of other people out there

279
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:26.119
have, from going to the drive
in passing notes. That's where you know,

280
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:29.519
Hey, we're gonna meet up at
the drive in. Hey, woman,

281
00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:32.559
maybe we should meet up out there, you know. Oh yeah,

282
00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:34.519
well, here's my number, but
don't call at this time because my mom

283
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:38.160
and dad might answer. It's all
all that went past fired. Brother.

284
00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:44.160
Yeah. A lot of people on
this post mentioned one of these things that

285
00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:45.960
they used to love doing, and
that's writing in the back of pickup trucks.

286
00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:48.279
Remember that we used to be able
to write in the back of pickup

287
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:52.880
trucks. There were no seatbelts,
there were no helmets, and we'd sometimes

288
00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:57.319
be on the freeway. I remember
growing up over there in Monkey Bayo East

289
00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:03.279
Lap when cruising up with your boulevard
was a thing to do. Now that

290
00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:07.599
even was cracking. I believe in
the fifties the boulevard always cracked. In

291
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:12.039
the Latino race, you know that
anybody could go and cruise. I mean,

292
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:15.319
you had all kinds of different races. But I remember hanging out in

293
00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:19.240
the back of a truck while you're
cruising up and down cobs. Weren't doing

294
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:23.799
nothing as long as you weren't getting
loaded open containers, standing up or holding

295
00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:26.880
up traffic. You know, was
it was allowed, dude. You know

296
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:32.440
remember being in the back of a
truck and then having your own your own

297
00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:37.119
uh ghetto box, and you could
crank your own tunes and you're you know,

298
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:40.759
whoever's in the back of the truck
is having their own party beside the

299
00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:45.000
two fools that are city inside the
Capital drug. And I remember that sometimes

300
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:49.160
the person driving would go over speed
bumps on purpose really fast. Do you

301
00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:52.759
remember that, and then just jerk
herbing a boom and then your table hits

302
00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:57.359
the back. I remember that.
Melanie Torres said a few of them.

303
00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:00.799
She gave us a bunch of info. She said, no seat belts,

304
00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:07.480
no rotary phones, no credit card
machines, ye no, sorry, no

305
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:11.519
credit card machine, sliders, jumping
massive ramps on our bikes with no helmets

306
00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:18.559
or kneepads, and she said,
we just had it much better in my

307
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:22.480
opinions as Melanie Torres, and we
have to agree with you, Melanie.

308
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:26.440
The eighties is very funny because we
said goodbye to a lot of great things

309
00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:30.759
that our kids will never embark upon. Yep. And one of those things

310
00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:33.359
in particular was one of my favorite
things to do in the world, especially

311
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:38.880
on Friday nights, and that was
going either to Blockbuster Hollywood Video or to

312
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:45.480
any one of the local video stores
and renting your well going to see what

313
00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:49.319
movie was available, because back then
we didn't have, you know, twenty

314
00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:53.960
copies of each movie. There was
no certain small video rental place has only

315
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:57.920
had one copy of each movie,
and if you got there late and somebody

316
00:23:57.920 --> 00:24:02.160
else rented it, it was gone. So you picked up the cover and

317
00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:04.960
you were all sad, and you
were probably looking for it and you know,

318
00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:08.960
behind some other videotapes and found out
that it had been checked out and

319
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:14.319
Remember the fun it was and how
great it felt the first time you got

320
00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:18.559
your first video card. Oh yeah, because now you get a discount and

321
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:22.640
you know you're trusted. You even
get an extra day because you're holding that

322
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:26.759
card. You bypass people that are
just going in there to pay cash one

323
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:32.160
time visit yep. And with the
little stickers on every videotape that said be

324
00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:38.160
kind rewind, Remember busting out your
Valcro wallet and out your video card like,

325
00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:42.680
yeah, I'm the man, baby, Melcro wallets. I love my

326
00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:48.400
Pilcro wallet. Yeah. Valcro wallet
were the thing, dude, Remember,

327
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:52.759
just like, hey, let me
hop you out with some cash. You

328
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:56.079
want to hear something funny. I
saw a guy at the bank not too

329
00:24:56.119 --> 00:24:59.920
long ago, a guy at the
bank, probably in his late fifties,

330
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:04.799
and he pulls out his old blue
Velcro wallet. It looked like it was

331
00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:08.119
with him since he was a teenager. Nice was it? Op? Probably

332
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:11.799
it was all worn, the lettering
was worn, it was worn out.

333
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:15.680
Do you remember, Oh yes,
that's right. Ope came out with a

334
00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:21.000
lot of those Velcro wallets, Wow, Bro Lightning bowl op yep. And

335
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:27.359
then brands like Maui and Sons and
U Varney from France and stuff like that,

336
00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:33.599
what times we had, and a
lot of the kids today just have

337
00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:37.759
no no idea. One thing that
goes pretty much with everybody, we all

338
00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:45.680
agree, and that is listening to
great music is one of the things that

339
00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:49.920
kids will never know like we did
because it was the first time that you

340
00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:55.079
were hearing that type of music.
Yes, exactly, it was. It

341
00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:57.279
was just We've talked about this many
times on the show, that it was

342
00:25:57.440 --> 00:26:04.000
just music that left a footprint in
our souls that will follow us for generations

343
00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:08.440
to come, even after we are
long gone, that music will still remain.

344
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:15.000
I think music plays a part in
our lives to where it kind of

345
00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:23.759
is the soundtrack to our mental movie
in our lives as we grow older and

346
00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:30.119
remember music is there when we're growing
up and experiencing things. I think that's

347
00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:33.160
even from when you're at home,
if your family or your parents or anybody

348
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:37.920
else is really a music lover,
like I was very fortunate to have music

349
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:44.880
in my life every day. And
you know, you go from the childhood

350
00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:48.119
memories of the music your family listened
to or that you were listening to on

351
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:53.920
the radio. You go through your
teens with a certain music playlist of the

352
00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:59.720
tunes that we're cracking in the bands
that we're cracking then and then when you

353
00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:04.720
get your adult life, you're still
find yourself listening to a lot of the

354
00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:08.880
same artists and music and songs that
you did growing up. But now you

355
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:15.960
have that mental movie to where you
hear a song and you're catapulted back in

356
00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:21.680
that day in that time. And
I know you agree because as me and

357
00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:25.279
you embark in radio and we've done
our own music shows, me and you

358
00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:30.119
have that same agreement on why when
we do our other radio show in the

359
00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:33.720
past, and if we presume why
music is so important to you and me?

360
00:27:34.119 --> 00:27:37.640
And the funny thing is the type
of music you and me do play

361
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:45.000
on Scout, Tusconno and Chang is
very similar to the vibe that we're passing

362
00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:48.440
out with our podcast. If you
really think about it, we're taking you

363
00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:53.799
back and we're hopefully giving you a
smile that your music does or my brother,

364
00:27:55.039 --> 00:27:57.799
yeah, yes it does. How
about answering the phone, or how

365
00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:00.920
about when you had to make a
phone call and you got a busy signal,

366
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:07.079
and then how about when somebody was
calling you collect? Do you remember

367
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:11.319
that getting a collect call, or
maybe we had to make a collect call.

368
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:15.960
And then do you did you ever
get a collect call? Denied?

369
00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:18.559
Oh? Man, that happened so
many times. And then that's when you

370
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:23.359
could slam the phone down in anger, and even the operator understood you were

371
00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:27.799
angry. Everybody in the whole house
knew you were angry. I remember,

372
00:28:29.839 --> 00:28:33.519
we have a collect call from so
and so, and then sometimes you could

373
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:38.480
they could hear you and you would
be like, hell no, it was

374
00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:42.599
crazy because they didn't want they didn't
want to accept a collect call, because

375
00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:47.039
collect calls were very expected about.
I remember my mom or my dad,

376
00:28:47.599 --> 00:28:53.160
if that's a collect called, don't
that. And you gotta remember these were

377
00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:57.720
days where we didn't get three minutes
on any Everything was paid by the mayor.

378
00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:02.119
And you know, but when and
then there came a time when they

379
00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:06.359
called you it was fine, right, it was free for you. The

380
00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:08.160
other person had to pay. And
that's why people take advantage. You know,

381
00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:12.319
when you had a girlfriend or or
girls that had boyfriends, you know,

382
00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:15.480
they would get the calls and they
to spend hours on the phone,

383
00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:18.759
or if it was a local local
call like around the around the block and

384
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:22.839
things like that, then it would
be free. And those are things that

385
00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:26.720
that kids nowadays will never be able
to experience. Do you remember, do

386
00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:30.720
you remember the double line? When
the double line Yes came out on Yes,

387
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:33.319
and you could you would have to
you would have to click on the

388
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:37.359
phone and like like what it would
be like when you hang up on the

389
00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:40.519
phone. So you click on it
once and then you go hello, and

390
00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:42.000
then you know what, I'm on
the other line, and then you would

391
00:29:42.039 --> 00:29:45.720
seem so important. I'm on the
other line. I'll tell you later.

392
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:49.039
Yeah, click, I remember that, and then you go back. I'll

393
00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:52.599
have to get back to you.
So let's calling me on my other line.

394
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:57.720
Yeah. The feeling of importance when
all these new technologies came out for

395
00:29:57.799 --> 00:30:02.559
us, we started feeling some type
of importance, Oh, because we get

396
00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:06.160
to use it, and we just
felt great being able to And those are

397
00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:10.599
things that we've experienced, and man, I don't regret it at all.

398
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:17.359
I loved going through that because we
got to see the evolution of technology up

399
00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:19.839
to whatever it is today. In
twenty twenty, my kids and I were

400
00:30:19.880 --> 00:30:23.880
watching Back to the Future. We
watch it maybe once a month, and

401
00:30:25.880 --> 00:30:29.519
we were watching it a few days
ago and my kids said the only thing

402
00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:36.799
that they really really got wrong in
the movie was the cars. You know,

403
00:30:36.839 --> 00:30:41.720
the cars were discussing there. They
thought that cars were going to be

404
00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:45.680
a lot more futuristic, and in
some cases I can understand, yeah,

405
00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:48.480
they are because of the technology inside, but as far as the outside,

406
00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:52.880
cars just look like cars. And
also the clothing. I mean, you

407
00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:56.240
look at how some people dressed today. I always tell my kids a nineteen

408
00:30:56.279 --> 00:30:59.440
eighty seven called you know, they
want they want their genes back, because

409
00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:03.319
a lot of people still dressed like
back then. You know, people still

410
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:07.559
wear a lot of church with the
same printed stuff on it, and jeans

411
00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:11.440
and sandals. And if you go
to the beach you find surfers that dressed

412
00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:15.680
just like the eighties. So you
know, there's one thing that we do

413
00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:22.799
not see a lot back on our
roads and our highways and byways from the

414
00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:27.720
eighties is motor vehicles. We see
newer and motor vehicles. Cars. Bro,

415
00:31:29.319 --> 00:31:33.400
you don't see too many eighties seven
cars out there, eighty five cars,

416
00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:36.920
you know, very few do very
few? Do you see somebody with

417
00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:41.680
a truck usually at Toyota, you
know what I mean, Or a Chevy

418
00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:45.799
or a Ford. Usually the trucks
are the trucks that you see on the

419
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:51.720
highways and byways from the eighties.
Not many vehicles per se themselves. Do

420
00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:56.759
we see on the highways as we
see people with collectors vehicles, cars from

421
00:31:56.799 --> 00:32:00.960
the seventies every now and then you
see something from the fifties and sixties.

422
00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:05.720
Yeah, but from the eighties,
it's like they skipped over that. It's

423
00:32:05.759 --> 00:32:09.480
funny. I did get to see
a guy that had an eighty six Toyota

424
00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:15.279
Corolla hatchback that was selling it.
Now do you remember these cars. I'm

425
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:19.400
thinking, Oh, this car's probably
like seven hundred dollars, five hundred dollars

426
00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:23.319
they got one in twenty seven thousand
dollars for it, because yeah, he's

427
00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:27.759
got it all fixed up. Because
I guess this car is now famous because

428
00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:35.079
of an anime cartoon that has made
that particular model famous and popular amongst young

429
00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:38.079
kids. I'm talking young young kids, thirteen fourteen years old really, and

430
00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:40.759
yeah, they don't call it,
yeah, they don't call it a Toyota

431
00:32:40.799 --> 00:32:45.000
Corolla. They call it an A
eighty six, which I think they call

432
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:49.160
it in Japan as well. The
funny thing almost thirty grand for nineteen eighty

433
00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:55.000
six Toyota Corolla. You want to
hear something crazy. My cousin Bobby had

434
00:32:55.200 --> 00:33:00.200
a Corolla back when we were in
the eighties and he lived did El Sarno,

435
00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:05.759
California. You know where else you
know that? And yeah, we

436
00:33:05.960 --> 00:33:07.359
you know that's a very hilly area. We used to go up to the

437
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:14.960
laptops. I'll never forget hanging out
with my primos and we would be parting

438
00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:21.079
a bit and he would pull that
Toyota Corolla down one of the up on

439
00:33:21.119 --> 00:33:25.079
the embankment of one of these hills
and then we would go down in neutral

440
00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:34.960
these hills in these Toyota Corolla four
buying cranking on old metal bro from from

441
00:33:35.720 --> 00:33:42.680
KAC and KYT Dude, and it
would be like this Corolla would handle every

442
00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:49.400
bump. You could feel this thing
leave the ground, bounce and still still

443
00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:53.960
got us to concerts at the Fabulous
Forum for at least four hundred and eighty

444
00:33:54.039 --> 00:34:00.400
six thousand miles. Brother, Toyota
Corolla, Now that's a car to go.

445
00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:04.400
Shout out to Toyota. This is
back to the eighties. We have

446
00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:07.559
been talking about things that we used
to do that kids today will have never

447
00:34:08.280 --> 00:34:13.280
experience or will never be able to
experience. There's a lot more that we

448
00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:15.639
need to talk, and I'm sure
that we're going to probably take a couple

449
00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:20.280
more shows to talk about these things. And one of the common comments is

450
00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:23.480
that what they miss about the eighties
that they know the definitely kids today will

451
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:30.000
not be able to experience, is
getting that we didn't get offended for name

452
00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:35.039
calling. We didn't get offended for
any little stupid reason, which is absolutely

453
00:34:35.239 --> 00:34:39.079
right all this political correctness. And
you know what I saw before a movie

454
00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:44.719
played on I believe it was Netflix. There was an ad right before the

455
00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:50.639
movie that said, when this movie
came out, there were terms that are

456
00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:57.440
derogatory today that we're used for comedic
purposes back then. Just enjoy. Now

457
00:34:58.159 --> 00:35:01.679
there's a disclaimer before a movie.
Give me a break now now, uh,

458
00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:06.239
now we're on this topic. You
know, when I was doing stand

459
00:35:06.360 --> 00:35:08.360
up comedy, uh, you know, I didn't do this in the in

460
00:35:08.760 --> 00:35:13.360
the eighties, of course, but
it wasn't even that long ago. I'd

461
00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:17.039
say, what, no more than
ten years ago? I was performing stand

462
00:35:17.079 --> 00:35:22.639
up and I don't think some of
the material I may have used, I

463
00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:27.320
think would be used against me and
people would find it highly offensive and not

464
00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:36.599
understand the comedic, uh feeling that
I'm embarking on. The comedic kind of

465
00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:43.760
raised the edge that I'm uh,
you know, delivering. People would take

466
00:35:43.760 --> 00:35:46.320
offense to half of the things I
say, I think half of the things

467
00:35:46.400 --> 00:35:51.960
that we saw even on on movies
from the eighties. My friend Daddy Shack

468
00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:57.119
uh, you know, even the
any you know, so many different movies

469
00:35:57.280 --> 00:36:04.239
back from the eighties would have a
hard time now with as much touchy feelings

470
00:36:04.280 --> 00:36:08.400
as we see in today's society.
Yeah, even Bill and Ted would have

471
00:36:08.440 --> 00:36:13.280
a hard time coming up with some
of the things that they used to say.

472
00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:15.039
And well, you know, they
are coming back with a new movie,

473
00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:19.360
so I would like to see what
that is all about in their approach

474
00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:23.280
on that. Yeah, Mark Hughes
said, MTV has never been the same

475
00:36:23.320 --> 00:36:28.440
since, so kids will never experience
MTV. We've talked about that in previous

476
00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:34.119
shows as well. Rachel Warnkey said, hanging out at ourcades, So we've

477
00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:37.480
talked about that tons of times here
on back to the eighties. So there's

478
00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:42.559
tons of things that we've got here
that people have written to us about that

479
00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:50.719
they enjoyed doing back in the eighties
that kids today have no idea. You're

489
00:37:34.280 --> 00:37:45.480
Stock to the eighties. Now is
the time of the show where we

490
00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:51.320
get to take a moment and tell
you, guys, what made us chang

491
00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:54.159
grey back in the eighties. Changries, of course, are those things that

492
00:37:54.239 --> 00:37:58.480
made us angry in the eighties,
And in honor of the most wondrous chang

493
00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:05.119
we've dubbed them Changrey Chang. What
got you changering back in the eighties?

494
00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:14.199
Well, everybody. Tonight's segment of
changars is particularly something that angers me now

495
00:38:14.559 --> 00:38:19.760
that we do not have from the
eighties. You know what gets me changry?

496
00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:23.360
What's that the new kind of rock
and roll that they try to put

497
00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:29.039
out there. I miss the old
rock and roll from the eighties. Yeah,

498
00:38:29.159 --> 00:38:31.960
you know what got me changering back
in the eighties when you would go

499
00:38:32.079 --> 00:38:37.719
when you would go to a family
member's house and they would have plastic wrapped

500
00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:45.440
all around their sofa. Yes,
you know what gets me shangry about what

501
00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:52.119
I miss from the eighties? What's
that? Common decency from every living human

502
00:38:52.239 --> 00:39:00.159
being? Definitely gets me changing.
You know what got me changering back back

503
00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:04.320
in the eighties. What's that when
you got together with your friends to play

504
00:39:04.440 --> 00:39:13.800
ding Dong ditch and your friends were
faster than you. You know what gout

505
00:39:13.880 --> 00:39:21.440
me change in the eighties? What's
that? Rubber flip flops? Do you

506
00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:23.760
remember they used to always come undone
when it was when you were at the

507
00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:28.079
beach or something in the bottom would
pop out and you couldn't You would place

508
00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:30.679
it back inside, but the flip
flop was already broken. There was a

509
00:39:30.679 --> 00:39:34.599
little bit place, yeah, and
it would just keep doing it and then

510
00:39:34.679 --> 00:39:42.199
sometimes all your very would yes,
then one foot would get all dirty.

511
00:39:42.280 --> 00:39:45.440
You're all hot from the ground.
You'd be like, oh oh, and

512
00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:50.159
that ladies and gentlemen are this week's
changrees. If you have a chamber that

you'd like to share with Tiscano and

and let us know what your changry
is all about. Chang, we were

522
00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:27.400
talking about some of the things that
we did in the eighties that kids cannot

523
00:40:27.440 --> 00:40:36.400
experience today. Autumn brown Lee says
that before before all this Corona crap,

524
00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:40.960
a bunch of her friends would go
out camping in the eighties everywhere. They'd

525
00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:45.719
play games, they'd go to live
music events. They do wet T shirt

526
00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:52.800
contests, bonfires, they'd go with
tense campers, cabins, swimming pools,

527
00:40:53.360 --> 00:40:59.400
wet underwear contests for the mess.
What kind of party did Autumn brown lee

528
00:40:59.440 --> 00:41:05.880
at ten all dancing and name it? She said? COVID needs to be

529
00:41:06.119 --> 00:41:13.079
canceled so she can get back to
life. Lord have me, Lord,

530
00:41:12.800 --> 00:41:19.440
while Tony out there, bucket and
brocket. First of all, where does

531
00:41:19.559 --> 00:41:24.079
Autumn formerly reside? And if she's
a southern California girl, I guarantee I've

532
00:41:24.079 --> 00:41:30.639
seen her, probably maybe at the
red Onion of the US Festival. Did

533
00:41:30.679 --> 00:41:36.880
I catch you at a Van Halen
gig? Lord Percy, It's good to

534
00:41:36.920 --> 00:41:42.280
see that kind of a spirit and
energy still rocket and rolling right here right

535
00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:45.280
now. God bless you Autumn here, see you baby, David at rail

536
00:41:46.079 --> 00:41:50.320
you heard it from the chatting.
Yeah, I don't know where Autumn is

537
00:41:50.360 --> 00:41:55.960
at, but I'm sure I'm sure
she would send her regard. Tracy Razor

538
00:41:57.079 --> 00:42:00.800
said, making real force for the
kids in the wood free plane in the

539
00:42:00.800 --> 00:42:07.880
neighborhood alone and no bike helmets,
wax paper up up the slide and then

540
00:42:07.079 --> 00:42:10.880
sitting on it as you're going down. Hey, now that we read this

541
00:42:10.920 --> 00:42:15.679
about slides, remember going to McDonald's
on a very hot day. They had

542
00:42:15.719 --> 00:42:21.199
the playground and they had those metal
slides, and some kids would be sliding

543
00:42:21.239 --> 00:42:25.719
down in shorts to remember that,
and they'd scream because their skin would get

544
00:42:27.159 --> 00:42:30.480
stuck on that hot metal. Oh
yeah, dude, I remember seeing that.

545
00:42:30.360 --> 00:42:32.880
You know what's funny, I was
by then in the eighties. What,

546
00:42:34.039 --> 00:42:37.519
oh man, I was already cracking
is a teenager in the eighties.

547
00:42:37.559 --> 00:42:42.239
I hit the eight I hit high
school in seventy nine. Eighties. I

548
00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:44.960
was rocking and rolling. You you
were, you were? You were more

549
00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:46.079
than rocking and rolling. I can
tell you that, oh man, I

550
00:42:46.119 --> 00:42:55.800
wasn't playing with toys. I was
playing with Oh lord mercy. Yeah,

551
00:42:55.840 --> 00:43:00.599
the eighties. The eighties, Man, we missed the eighties and if we

552
00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:05.719
only had the simplicity. One of
the things that a lot of people mentioned

553
00:43:06.159 --> 00:43:10.760
was the fact that we had no
cell phones and no internet was one of

554
00:43:10.760 --> 00:43:15.480
the biggest and best things about the
eighties. And you know what, they're

555
00:43:15.559 --> 00:43:22.639
absolutely right. Unfortunately, we have
fallen victim, and we've fallen prey to

556
00:43:22.679 --> 00:43:28.440
these big companies offering the world technology
and making you know, these big big

557
00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:34.599
phone companies richer. We have sacrificed
our own kids. We've sacrificed our own

558
00:43:34.639 --> 00:43:39.280
lives, and we've fallen into a
hole that I can't see that we're ever

559
00:43:39.360 --> 00:43:45.599
going to get out of. Unfortunately, I see kids nowadays and they will

560
00:43:45.800 --> 00:43:50.480
never know what it was to live
in a world where you weren't looking down

561
00:43:50.760 --> 00:43:53.880
at a screen. Right now,
I think the two key things to me

562
00:43:54.039 --> 00:44:01.719
that I think I've been lost in
this trans editions from the eighties is creativity

563
00:44:04.280 --> 00:44:13.840
and true talent. And what I
mean on those uh on those two scales

564
00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:19.079
is creativity as in before we were
blinded by the screen in front of us.

565
00:44:20.280 --> 00:44:27.280
I know for myself I did a
lot of artistic type activity. I

566
00:44:27.320 --> 00:44:30.920
was always drawing, I was painting, I was and you were using your

567
00:44:31.000 --> 00:44:38.119
imagination which I was going to embark
And I think today's generations, with technology,

568
00:44:38.159 --> 00:44:45.719
we've lost the imagination. We do
see it in the artistry that we

569
00:44:45.840 --> 00:44:52.840
have in modern day technology with people
able to draw on the uh laptop uh

570
00:44:52.239 --> 00:45:00.440
making these uh images for for movies, So that part is somewhat still true.

571
00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:05.039
But for the actual sit down,
bust out a pencil, bust out

572
00:45:05.119 --> 00:45:10.400
chalks, bust out some pastels,
whether there are a crylic or oil.

573
00:45:10.800 --> 00:45:15.280
Bust out the chalk, bust out
the shade, pencils. Sit there and

574
00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:19.880
sit in your mind and think of
something or look at something and try to

575
00:45:19.960 --> 00:45:24.039
draw it. We've lost that and
the imagination for your mind to sit there,

576
00:45:24.119 --> 00:45:29.320
my brother, listen to some tunes
and you get carried, you into

577
00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:32.760
a far off land to where you
can either write a story, write a

578
00:45:32.800 --> 00:45:37.519
song, write a poem, or
it gives you the energy to put it

579
00:45:37.559 --> 00:45:42.280
to pencil and draw something. Yeah, that is the form that we've lost

580
00:45:42.639 --> 00:45:46.360
from then, this is Toscano and
change from back to the eighties, letting

581
00:45:46.400 --> 00:45:52.960
you know that there are more important
things that we have lost than those things

582
00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:58.800
that didn't matter. And today,
our generations, it's time for us to

583
00:45:58.840 --> 00:46:05.840
take back what they camp experience.
It's time for us to reintroduce the eighties

584
00:46:05.960 --> 00:46:10.639
to a homely generation. So on, behalf of myself, Toscano. I'm

585
00:46:10.639 --> 00:46:15.880
wishing you the greatest of weeks and
try doing something that you did in the

586
00:46:15.880 --> 00:46:21.400
eighties with your kids as we turn
the pages to another week. So God

587
00:46:21.440 --> 00:46:24.400
bless and take care. We'll see
you next Friday. And from the chat,

588
00:46:24.519 --> 00:46:29.800
remember everybody out there, you have
a prosperous week. You do not

589
00:46:30.119 --> 00:46:34.880
let your head hang down in whatever
crisis we are in. Remember we are

590
00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:39.599
one race to human race. Tomorrow
is not promised, Tomorrow is blessed.

591
00:46:39.920 --> 00:46:45.159
Live that day blessed. Do something
good for yourself, do something good for

592
00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:49.599
somebody else, Stay masked, keep
doing what you're supposed to do to be

593
00:46:49.719 --> 00:46:53.000
healthy for yourself and your family.
And remember, stay lifted and gifted.

594
00:46:53.320 --> 00:46:59.800
To all my homies in the hood, or to all my friends neighbor,

595
00:47:00.280 --> 00:47:05.480
and all of everyone out there that
I care about, it's all about you.

596
00:47:05.920 --> 00:47:09.000
We share what we do because we
care. So Till next Friday,
