spanding back to you there, Ted, anyway, the grass out here is
16
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:12.840
beautifully green. It's a little dead
because we haven't had any rain in about
17
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:17.840
two years, But we've got an
outstanding paint crew and they have given a
18
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:23.040
nice code of latex right over the
grass. It looks brand new. Speaking
19
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.920
about brand new, Hey, if
you're down by the park, come on

22
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.280

time, the last time that the Dodgers
23
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.200
played the Yankees in a World Series? That was in the eighties, wasn't
24
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:45.640
it? You stand so correct right
there? Hey, Ted, you must
25
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.439
have been a big baseball bad when
you were a kid, right I was,
26
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:53.480
especially with Ronsey, Steve Garvey and
Fernando vellensway last, Oh, you're
27
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.359
talking about some of the latest greatest
Doggers of all time. I remember being
28
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:01.680
a doctor stadium during Fernando. I
was a mere teenager and I was barely
29
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:06.400
calling uh games up in the local
part of Grebery Park about Abella. I
30
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:09.479
was called Italy game, making them
exciting. Take it home to the kids,
31
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:14.280
one for everyone, everybody. Let's
see agent scoutter. They're about to
32
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:16.360
throw the way rolled on. Have
you ever seen cardboard cutouts do the way?
33
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:20.960
It is insane? And I was
like wet cardboard. Back to the

00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:30.879

73
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:53.560
out, Chang. Last week we
asked everybody on our Facebook page to describe
74
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:57.360
their social life in the eighties and
to kind of compare it to what kids
75
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:01.680
today are going through or how they
live today. And uh, you know
76
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:06.279
it, I know it. We've
got tons and tons of posts and comments
77
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:12.079
on this. Everybody seemed to want
to chip in with this, and I
78
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:17.680
think it's it's just awesome because we
learned quite a bit. And with all
79
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:24.040
those stories that were said and posted, I learned that we're not so different,
80
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:27.240
all of us, that we're from
that era. We really really do
81
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:30.199
think alike. So let's say before
we get started, we take a little
82
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:35.519
identifier break when we come back back
to the eighties. Is taking us on
83
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:46.319
a ride. You're listening to back
to the eighties? We never stop it
84
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:50.959
hurts, didn't hurt, didn't hurt, didn't hurt, nonstyle, unforgettable memories
85
00:06:51.079 --> 00:07:00.639
from the eighties. Stop back to
the eighties Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and
86
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:05.240
girls, Eighties cats, kitties,
and eighties ladies. You are back with
87
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:11.480
Back to the Eighties hosted by Tascanow
and Shang. We're gonna hit you today's
88
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:17.120
show with our post and Tascano,
why don't you go ahead and read one
89
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:25.120
of our very first responses and let's
take this show with that, and let's
90
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:28.920
get this party started. I know, I know, you know, a
91
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:30.439
lot of these posts were really good. Some of them were really funny,
92
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:34.079
as they are always, but a
lot of them were really serious. And
93
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:39.759
you know that a lot of people
are really nostalgic during these times. And
94
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:43.000
once again, let's go over the
post. It said, describe your social
95
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:48.519
life in the eighties and compare it
to kids today. Tom t Patrick Ryan
96
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:53.120
mentioned that he was in college from
eighty two to eighty seven, and his
97
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:59.560
social life was dancing, drinking,
and playing trivial pursuit. Beverly Blovin Staley
98
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:01.959
said she was in high school from
nineteen eighty to nineteen eighty four. Her
99
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:07.399
biggest social event was cruising the local
strip on Friday and Saturday nights. Oh
100
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:11.720
yes, that was a fun favor
I think of all of us. I
101
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:15.879
remember cruising with your Boulevard homie,
with all my whole music there a niche
102
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:18.000
lows the Monday lay all the way
to piquity LETI and then I remember going
103
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:24.560
down to cruise Sunset and getting some
of those fine eighties ladies of the metal
104
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:28.920
scene. There was something about the
eighties, wasn't it about the cruising that
105
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.559
just made you get excited when you
knew you were about to go cruising,
106
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.679
When you knew Sunday was cracking,
you knew your weekend was not over yet
107
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.440
because it was going to be cruising. You hit one of those highways and
108
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:43.240
then you start creeping down that old
highway and you get to check out all
109
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:48.159
the cool rise, all the people
that are walking back and forth. You
110
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.080
hear all the music getting cranks so
many different types of music, all kinds
111
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:54.159
of different types of people. You
had the chore lows and the cholas.
112
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:58.559
You had the punkers and the punk
yeads, and you had the rocker dudes
113
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:05.639
of rock chicks. You had the
kind of alternative style looking cats. I
114
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.799
mean, it was almost like it
was like a candy store of people.
115
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.000
When you went cruising, bro,
if you know what I'm saying, I
116
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:18.159
mean you had hot ros, lowriders, motorcycles, crazy looking vans and that
117
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.320
was they. Ever remember when people
would put murals on their vans, you
118
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.159
know what I'm saying. Yeah,
I remember that, these big old um
119
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:30.399
these big old van conversions. Remember, yeah, dude, I my sister
120
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:31.519
had one of those. We used
to roll in that thing. Bro.
121
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.440
Great and if you if you remember, we all, depending on the group
122
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.960
that you were with, you would
all pick a different restaurant to hang around,
123
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.559
or had the parking lots to hang
around. You get some parking lots
124
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.879
filled with bikers and other parking lot
filled with low riders and so on.
125
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:56.360
Yeah, that's what's creating. Everybody
created their own territory in their own space
126
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:00.879
at certain locations, which was always
cool. You know, you pull into
127
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:03.919
the parking notts and you roll around
that little area and then you drive back
128
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.879
out and you always get an Eiffel
of some craziness and an Eiffel of something
129
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:16.480
where all of a sudden you go, hey, swing on her hoop bearings.
130
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:22.200
You know what intrigues me is that
it's unfortunate that kids today won't ever
131
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:28.360
ever understand what we had and how
good we actually did have it. And
132
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:33.080
one of those main reasons is because
of this the amount of social interaction that
133
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.000
we had. That's all we did, that's all we knew. You know.
134
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:41.480
Unfortunately, kids these days they either
know something that is related to a
135
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:46.320
screen or being at home, maybe
at times go out with some friends,
136
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:52.720
but they don't have the amount of
interaction, personal interaction that we did,
137
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:54.879
you know, the social interaction that
we did. It's just how it was.
138
00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:00.440
We didn't have all the technology that
we do. That unfortunate they do
139
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.720
today. And so you know,
we weren't. We weren't stuck in front
140
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:09.240
of a screen all day. So
let's continue. We have John Paul Snyders
141
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:13.360
who said that he's still amazed at
how much interaction and social life and friends
142
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.799
that he had, and that they
managed to get together daily without the use
143
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.879
of any kind of phones, and
how much stupid stuff they did without being
144
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.240
afraid of it showing up on the
internet, because of course, I mean,
145
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:30.200
they just can't leave their phone.
And talking about phones, I know
146
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:33.320
this is an eighties show, but
I want to recommend you there's a great
147
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:37.679
program on Netflix. It's called The
Social Dilemma. When you get a chance,
148
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:43.360
check it out. The Social Dilemma. It's on Netflix. It's an
149
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:48.039
eye opener because there are so many
people, and not only the young people,
150
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:52.919
but there's so many older people that
think that there's nothing wrong with how
151
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.320
things are going today. It's just
the advancement of technology and it's just evolution,
152
00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:01.600
basically, and we have to adapt. Watch The Shual Dilemma on Netflix.
153
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:03.679
For us here back to the eighties. I mean, we still have
154
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:05.879
to interact with people online, but
as far as on a personal level,
155
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.279
I'm trying to as little as possible, you know, watch YouTube videos and
156
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:13.480
things like that on my phone.
That's because big Brother is watching brother.
157
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:18.519
But you know, big Brother has
always been watching us. And I mean
158
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:20.159
that was the phrase I was put
to us, I believe in the late
159
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:26.320
sixties by Jefferson Airplane. You know
they made that song Big Brother in the
160
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:31.080
Holding Company and that who also backed
up Janice Joplin. Music has been talking
161
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.639
about Big Brother for years and this
goes all the way into as a matter
162
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:37.679
of fact, into the eighties with
Judas Priest when they came out with the
163
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:43.799
album Screaming for Vengeance and a song
that they call Electric Eye. Ryan,
164
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:46.559
I remember that song. Yeah,
So, I mean we've always you know,
165
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:52.759
you've always had to have known that
Big Brother is watching. But nowadays
166
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:58.039
with our mobile devices, our tablets, even some of our computer wear that
167
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:01.159
we may have at home or on
the go, you know, the government's
168
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:03.320
able to tap in and find out
what we're doing. If you notice,
169
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.840
you buy a brand new TV,
it's not like the old days. Now
170
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.279
you have to program your TV with
your phone, so it has to be
171
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:15.039
compatible. So now Big Brother is
aware of what you're watching on TV.
172
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:20.840
You know. I mean, it's
scary. It's a bit to me,
173
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:26.039
and it's a bit losing of our
freedoms which this country was supposedly built on.
174
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:33.080
Everyone has a freedom. Unfortunately,
as we are seeing society decay,
175
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:37.960
we are losing those freedoms. But
to our own stupidity and our own negligence.
176
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:41.039
We lose more and more. Yeah, I agree. Eric Johnson said
177
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:45.279
that in the eighties he'd go ride
his bike and go on bike trails or
178
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:48.240
around the neighborhoods, and they'd go
to the prairie try to catch snakes,
179
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:52.559
and that kids today would never never
go out to do that. Imagine telling
180
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:56.399
a kid today, Hey, let's
let's go ride our bikes and let's go
181
00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:00.639
catch some snakes. You know.
I try telling my grand children when they
182
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:03.240
were up here visiting me for about
a month during the summer, hey let's
183
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:05.480
take a walk, let's go to
the creek. Let's go look for some
184
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:09.480
wild animals and make some hats out
of them. And they were like,
185
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:15.960
whoa, Papa, I think you've
lost your mind. But yet through you
186
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:20.320
know, kids nowadays, they'd lost
that edge, that kind of a little
187
00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:22.720
bit of toughness that I don't think
they ever had it. You know,
188
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:26.279
because a lot of these especially the
gen Z I'm not talking about millennials,
189
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:31.679
I think they lost it because they
still grew up with their parents from the
190
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:35.679
eighties, seventies and eighties. But
gen Z, these these kids born after
191
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:41.639
ninety six and born today, this
gen z. They're in it. I
192
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:43.919
mean, they're born in it,
so they don't know any better. I'll
193
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:48.679
tell you bottom line, who I
think I believe is to blame, and
194
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:54.360
that's us the seventies and eighties kids
that you know, we didn't have this
195
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:58.720
technology. So when when it came
in, we saw the development of all
196
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:01.840
this technology, and so when it
came man, I mean, it blew
197
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:03.799
us out of the water. We
were so thrilled to have it. We
198
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:07.320
had no idea what it was going
to do to us. And unfortunately,
199
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:11.000
instead of us putting the bridle on
it to control it, no, we
200
00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:15.360
let it go rampant. We just
let it go. We had no idea
201
00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:18.639
what it was going to do.
And we've allowed our kids and in my
202
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:24.000
household, we didn't allow our kids
to have phones on table until they were
203
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:28.360
thirteen and fourteen. Most of their
friends, most of their friends already had
204
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:30.559
phones in school and they told them, you know, they kind of looked
205
00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:33.639
at them weird for not having phones. But deep down inside, I believe
206
00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:37.720
that most of us parents from that
era, from the era that we miss,
207
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:43.519
are to blame because we've allowed our
kids all these liberties for whatever the
208
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:46.279
reason. I mean, we weren't
always in quarantine, we didn't always have
209
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:50.960
COVID nineteen. So we can't just
blame it on just allow the kids,
210
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:54.679
because what else are they going to
do? No, I agree, I
211
00:15:56.039 --> 00:16:00.759
kind of blamed the rapid rate and
the kind of easy complex city that people
212
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:07.519
have about getting divorced or not getting
married, which I'm not going to condemn
213
00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:10.120
that either, because Lord knows,
I am not married and I've been with
214
00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:14.320
the same woman going up thirty two
years. It's all about commitment, it's
215
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:18.600
all about respect, it's all about
love and truth. Now, I think
216
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:22.480
our generation and a little bit of
the seventies generation, my brother I feel
217
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:30.440
dropped the ball as in parenting skills
by couples being so quick to get divorced
218
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:36.200
or separate and did so many deadbeat
dads that we see out there. Now
219
00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:40.879
we're starting to get a lot of
drop out moms. You know. Our
220
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:44.200
generation kind of paved the way to
show our children that you don't need to
221
00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:49.240
have commitment if it's getting tough bail
out, and unfortunately that we see in
222
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:55.440
so many relationships, so many children
being brought up with step parents or in
223
00:16:55.480 --> 00:17:00.559
and out of out the door,
some type of apparent role as mom or
224
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:03.599
dad are always sleeping around. So
I do blame our generation, but I
225
00:17:03.640 --> 00:17:08.640
also do blame kind of the government
in a way too, brother, because
226
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:14.759
it is so very hard to make
ends meet and survive in modern day society.
227
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:18.680
It takes two parents, if they
stay together, to go out there
228
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:22.839
and run a household, so they
both have to be at work. We
229
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:27.519
see a climb in the percentage of
latchkey children, which you know that terminology
230
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:32.160
where kids are just being at home. We have no more really no more
231
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:37.920
park programs for kids to go hang
around with and they're watched by somebody else
232
00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:41.319
and they're doing crafts or they're playing
or something in the park. We don't
233
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:44.759
see any of that. So what
we have is a lot of kids that
234
00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:48.680
only have mobile devices and a lot
of freedom to do whatever they're going to
235
00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:53.839
do. And a device cannot guide
your kid on what he can or can't
236
00:17:53.839 --> 00:18:00.240
watch. It cannot give your kid
as much education as you would like to
237
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:04.640
think, or as much as technology
was supposed to be used for. So
238
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:11.200
there's I agree with you that our
generation dropped the ball, but you also
239
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:15.920
have to understand, like you did, say, all the millennial children,
240
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:19.440
children of you know, my generation, My kids, they didn't get a
241
00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:22.400
cell phone until they were already adults, and they had to buy it themselves.
242
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:26.039
Brother, you know, my children
have good work ethic. They know
243
00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:30.839
what it's like to go camping and
playing outside and you know, playing hide
244
00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:33.759
and seek, you're riding your bike. You know, they didn't grow up
245
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:37.680
with your typical Hell you put them
in front of a video game and then
246
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:41.759
their loss forever, or they go
to hit their laptop to do homework.
247
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:45.039
I mean that was just nonexistent back
then. Yeah, if you get a
248
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:48.839
chance to watch The Social Dilemma,
it's going to open your eyes. Take
249
00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:52.839
the time. I mean, if
you're a parent, and if you're not,
250
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:57.680
watch it because you may be one
of the ones that that special is
251
00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:00.960
all about. This is back to
the eighties. We're gonna take a very
252
00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:06.640
very quick breather. When't we come

to the eighties. This is the one
263
00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:02.200
on only back to the eighties to
Kindo and Chain here with you. We
264
00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:07.440
were reading posts from something that we
placed online on our Facebook page that said,
265
00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:12.160
describe your social life in the eighties
compared to kids today. We got
266
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:15.599
tons of feedback and I want to
thank you guys for that. We left
267
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:21.359
off on one of your posts and
it's Sean McCormick. Sean McCormick said,
268
00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:23.319
I was in junior high and high
school in the eighties. He said,
269
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:27.519
I walked to school and back home. Lived in a very, very small
270
00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:32.559
town. He said, my social
life was spent at lunch or recess,
271
00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:37.160
hanging out talking. Of course,
there were our version of the eighties version
272
00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:41.319
of texting, you passing notes in
class and finding one in your locker.
273
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:45.839
He said, our biggest events were
on Fridays. They were either football basketball
274
00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:48.799
games, and he said he was
a very shy kid, but then had
275
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:52.000
some few friends and he would hang
out with him and their girlfriend, his
276
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:56.839
girlfriend at the time. Other than
sports, school dances were big, especially
277
00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:03.759
prom no proposals or or fancy hotels. The junior class decorated the gymnasium.
278
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:07.039
That's great stuff, man, So
Sean, thanks for thanks for all that
279
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:08.640
input. Man. Now, Sean, I want to ask Sean a real
280
00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:11.759
quick question. Hopefully he's listening to
the show. What high school did you
281
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:15.279
go to that you called it recess? And were you playing on the monkey
282
00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:18.400
bars? Because when we were in
high school it was great. Well,
283
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:21.279
he did say he was in junior
high. He said he was in junior
284
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:22.960
high end in high school. Oh, I thought maybe he was a junior
285
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:30.440
getting high that I misinterpreted where he
was going with a yeah, I see,
286
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:34.119
I see famaist Triggs said weekends in
the eighties were waking up at six
287
00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:40.240
thirty am every Saturday morning, then
either playing outside or at the mall in
288
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:44.759
the afternoons, to which I asked
him, Wow, six thirty in the
289
00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:47.480
morning to go play outside. Yeah, that wasn't me. I was one
290
00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:52.039
of those guys that slept till eleven
on Saturdays. Wow, but you were.
291
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:55.599
You were. You're a lot younger
than me, so you were probably
292
00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:57.599
out on your big will late at
night and you were a little tired.
293
00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:00.039
Well, that one must have been
very No. I was out of my
294
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:04.119
big wheel in the seventies. From
the eighties on, it was strictly riding
295
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:08.240
bikes the entire decade. I was
riding my bike. Now, what kind
296
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:12.480
of bike did you have? I
had to I had a BMX bike and
297
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:18.759
I also had a twelve speed.
Back then, I used to love,
298
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:26.039
you know, the going fast and
riding bikes like that. Yes, hey,
299
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:27.759
I heard you like riding bikes like
that. I can that. We
300
00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:33.200
can see you sometimes on the weekends
with your spandex every now and then if
301
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:36.839
you come down to the era where
I live. But I will not give
302
00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:41.799
up that information. So surprise,
you will actually see me riding up and
303
00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:48.240
down the highway and the byway in
my spandex levis. Now these are not
304
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:52.960
but these levi's are so tight.
It looks like you painted them on me.
305
00:22:53.400 --> 00:23:00.000
Every curve and bulge is seen all
the way down to my converse high
306
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.279
tops. That is too much info. Let's go. Let's go out with
307
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:11.079
the post. Sometimes a Judas pre
shirt, Sometimes I don't. Craig Foreman
308
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:14.960
said, biggest thing I noticed were
the freedoms. They were so different.
309
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:18.359
We had freedom to bike everywhere we
wanted to go, and today we just
310
00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:22.359
have the freedom to search on the
internet to go wherever we want to go.
311
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:26.000
So the freedom of biking is so
much more liberating. Well, yeah,
312
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:30.160
you know what I find ridiculous.
Anybody that takes a spin class.
313
00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:33.799
You go in thereputer in front of
you and you pretend you're out on the
314
00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:40.440
road with other people on your right. That is crazy, right, This
315
00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:45.920
whole movement of writing this peloton bicycle
because I understand a lot of people don't
316
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:49.240
have time, but come on,
you know, working class people have always
317
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:53.759
been busy, whether it was in
this era or in the eighties, people
318
00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:59.839
have always been busy and somehow you
could make time to hit a trail on
319
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:02.640
your bike. Come on, that's
yeah, I'm talking about you know.
320
00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:07.480
It's everything is so yuppy nowadays.
You know, and to me, yuppy
321
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:11.839
is like guppy, that's not a
real fish, that's that's nothing real.
322
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:15.920
I mean, you're in the middle
of being nothingness. And oh, me
323
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:18.920
and Karen are gonna go take spin
class, you know what. I'm gonna
324
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:22.400
spin the middle finger at you and
go jump on my BMX and I'm gonna
325
00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:26.440
hit some trails and do a little
bit of mountain biking and living and smouting
326
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:30.839
the earth and taking that breeze in
from the trees while you sit there at
327
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:36.119
your computer and you and Karen pretend
you're riding by Josh's house. Have at
328
00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:44.000
it all right. We got Bridget
and Mozarelli from upstate New York. Yeah,
329
00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:48.000
New York, Good to see you. She said that I had a
330
00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:49.960
big group of guys and girl friends
there. Early on, it was bike
331
00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:53.960
riding to the local swimming holes or
hanging out at her friends or another's house.
332
00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:59.839
And once everybody started turning sixteen,
it was bonfires and kegs at one
333
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:04.839
friend's house. And in the winter
time, I'll take the accent out.
334
00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:10.559
But in the winter, she said
that they moved into the garage or the
335
00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:14.599
basement. She said, my mom
was super uptight about everything. So a
336
00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:17.720
lot of times I told her I
was going to one place and ended up
337
00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:19.960
in another. I was the baby
of the group, so I had a
338
00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:25.319
lot of protectors. We also wrote
around the back of pickup trucks with a
339
00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:27.400
couple of guys that had their license, went to the movies, fairs,
340
00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:33.000
outdoor concerts, fair grounds. We
all went to local speedways to watch racing,
341
00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:36.880
a real life bumper cars. Music
was a big thing in her lives,
342
00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:42.319
as as was driving around at night
with the music blaring. Now there's
343
00:25:42.440 --> 00:25:48.279
somebody who had a great youth.
Now there's some kind of dame that I
344
00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:49.880
wish I would have met back in
the day, you know what I mean?
345
00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:52.240
Maybe she would have wanted to go
out and hang and bang with the
346
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:56.240
chang. I don't know, you
know, but that's my kind of girl.
347
00:25:56.680 --> 00:26:00.000
Going to go watch fast CAUs bumper
cars. You know what I'm saying.
348
00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:03.440
She likes to go for a ride. My kind of girl. That's
349
00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:07.839
Bridget. That's Bridget. We also
have friends Zernjski. Sorry Fred if I
350
00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:11.519
massacred your name, but you said
that you would hang around with friends,
351
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:17.599
having fun outside bowling alleys, going
to video games at the alleys, movies
352
00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:22.480
and theater, going to the pizzeria, drinking, getting in trouble, fights
353
00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:26.119
between rival parts of town. Well, this is my kind of guy right
354
00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:30.440
here, at just being a kid
with no worries, no stress. He
355
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:33.480
said he would watch old adult films. Oh and the Girls, Yes,
356
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:38.160
the Girls, the eighties decade that
made us and set the ground rules for
357
00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:44.400
the rest to follow. The point
is that we all did things that we
358
00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:48.319
all wish that we can get our
kids and you know, the grandkids and
359
00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:52.279
the family and maybe the kids down
the street to do. You know,
360
00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:56.400
we have been camping once in a
while, or you go to the lake
361
00:26:56.519 --> 00:27:00.200
or wherever it is that you go, and you see the kids. You
362
00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:03.680
know, I've seen some of my
family members, and you want them to
363
00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:07.839
pick up a ball, to pick
up a bat or just I don't care,
364
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:11.319
just go run play tag. I
don't care. Because they're young,
365
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:17.799
very little. No, they can't
drop their dang phones. And then you
366
00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:21.799
tell their parents, who are also
our age, and you tell them,
367
00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:25.640
you know, why don't we have
them leave their phones so they can interact
368
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:27.319
between each other. I mean,
after all, we're family, and they
369
00:27:27.319 --> 00:27:30.960
just stay quiet. No, we
can't. They you know they wouldn't want
370
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:34.039
to and drive. That drives me
up the wall because you know, yeah,
371
00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:37.279
I agree, yeah, And it's
that because you know and you and
372
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:41.240
we and we get I get discussed
it probably just like you because they are
373
00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:45.920
an adults and they can't get away
from their social device to interact with their
374
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:49.359
kids. And then they're going to
complain that their kids have those heart problems
375
00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:55.319
or diet or depression, you know, or a joint problem, muscle problems
376
00:27:55.359 --> 00:28:03.599
because they get no exercise. They
just sit around in the boom tube and
377
00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:11.240
eat. And it's so sad because
you see some of these parents and obviously
378
00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:14.160
they're not in the best of shape, best of health, and then you
379
00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:18.519
look at their kids and it resembles
what their parents look like, you know,
380
00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:23.000
And then you wonder, how could
you feel comfortable with showing your children
381
00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:29.400
how to be lazy, no activity
and just caution to the wind when it
382
00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:33.759
comes to your health men exactly physically. Kelly Ann said that she was heading
383
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:37.359
to the movies on Friday night and
then they went to meet boys at the
384
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:41.279
ice cream parlor, splash parties at
the swim club, or going to dances.
385
00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:45.880
She said, we literally lived like
Stranger Things the series, and rotor
386
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:52.160
bikes everywhere and wherever and whenever,
with no phones, no distractions. You
387
00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:56.160
know, she said, Saturday morning
cartoons with sugary cereal and then playing with
388
00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:00.559
her Barbies and Calico Vision with her
best friend. That life I had.
389
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:04.480
I'd have to agree, you know. I just feel that the disconnect is
390
00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:10.400
so great with this generation. It's
sad. Actually, when I talked to
391
00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:12.839
some of these young kids, they
look at you like you're an alien,
392
00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:17.759
bro. And not only do they
look at you funny, yeah, not
393
00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:19.799
like when we used to look at
our parents and our grandparents and go,
394
00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:23.279
oh yeah, remember then when they
used to tell us something about their childhood.
395
00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:26.079
We used to yeah, you don't
understand you guys were It was a
396
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:30.000
different time. But that's about it. We're not that old. You know.
397
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:33.079
Yes, we're a lot older than
kids in high school, but you
398
00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:37.000
know, we're at least thirty years
older than these kids in high school.
399
00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:40.000
But thirty years it is not for
you to say, oh my gosh,
400
00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:42.640
you know, you're an alien.
I don't even know what you're talking about.
401
00:29:44.119 --> 00:29:47.599
Nowadays, you see a lot more
lack of respect with the younger generations
402
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:52.039
and the younger kids and like that
also stems from parents not to partaking in
403
00:29:52.079 --> 00:30:00.799
their children's lives daily, not having
the social surroundings that we grew up or
404
00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:04.720
our children grew up within their era. So when that is lost, it's
405
00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:08.960
hard for the individual child to learn
how to respect when they don't have social
406
00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:14.119
skills. The other thing is if
you look at some of the television shows
407
00:30:14.119 --> 00:30:21.240
and cartoons that children nowadays have grown
up with, there is a scenario in
408
00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:25.319
a lot of these things where the
children are smarter, wiser, and more
409
00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:30.519
intelligent and a lot more freer than
the parents. And these kids shows and
410
00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:36.839
that shows them how to disrespect and
talk down to the adults and get that
411
00:30:36.920 --> 00:30:41.519
laugh soundtrack, and kids feel that
that is the probably way to be what
412
00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:45.359
they see on TV, the disrespect, but you know they're getting not the
413
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:48.880
laugh track, but they're learning how
to pretty much pay the way that they
414
00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:55.319
want. And the other thing is
like lack of discipline. I'm old school,
415
00:30:55.920 --> 00:30:59.880
you know what I mean. And
if my daughters acted up, also
416
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:03.519
bank them. If my grandchildren have
shown any disrespect, then I will spank
417
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:07.400
them on their butt. I'm not
beating them, but they'll get a little
418
00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:11.640
spank and I think when it came
to where the child had the power,
419
00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:18.799
I'll call the police. We lost
a little bit of our way in society,
420
00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:25.599
you know, well, we lost
our ability to have our rightful place
421
00:31:25.799 --> 00:31:30.920
as adults, as parents, then
as the authority figure because if you know,
422
00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:37.079
you know, some people in leadership
they say no, you are not
423
00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:41.119
to touch your kids period. As
a matter of fact, that we have
424
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:45.920
somebody that posted this common her name
is Monique Monville Minick. She said adults
425
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:51.039
had full authority over yelling at kids
back in the eighties and if they were
426
00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:53.799
doing something stupid, especially if they
were doing something stupid. Now, you
427
00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:57.680
can't even say hi to a kid
without the parent being up in your face
428
00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:02.440
telling you that you cannot even talk
to their child without permission. And you
429
00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:07.559
know that that also, I believe
comes from the spear people have of each
430
00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:13.759
other, sex trafficking, child,
pornography, child you know, pedophilia is
431
00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:17.960
at such a high rate nowadays,
a lot of parents have fear of who
432
00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:23.759
that person is, and that's very
understandable. But then again that falls in
433
00:32:23.799 --> 00:32:29.119
the same brackle. We have more
of those type of sickles and attacks because
434
00:32:29.160 --> 00:32:31.920
the breakdown at home with parents.
Yeah, exactly. You know, like
435
00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:36.799
I said, Oh, I'm old
school broth. There's no way in hell
436
00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:42.880
that I'm going to Oh okay,
yeah, John, you need a time
437
00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:45.559
out? Yeah you know what.
You didn't hear me. You want to
438
00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:49.119
time out. You're gonna take a
time out in breathing. When I smack
439
00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:51.640
your butts so hard you lose your
breath on the weight of the shower,
440
00:32:51.920 --> 00:32:57.000
that's your time out of Gene Kent
said, playing Dungeons and Dragons every Saturday
441
00:32:57.119 --> 00:33:01.119
after cartoons, basketball in the spring, football in the fall, watching Dan
442
00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:07.519
Marino on Sundays when football was football, riding bikes and walking in the neighborhood
443
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:13.480
at night, causing trouble, jumping
into ditches, and whenever a card came,
444
00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:17.680
even if they could see us,
watching TV during the week. When
445
00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:22.759
I got older, he says,
partying on Friday and Saturday night, listening
446
00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:27.559

495
00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:37.000
So, before the break of course, we were talking about the posts
496
00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:43.199
that we put this past week on
our Facebook page where we talked about where
497
00:37:43.239 --> 00:37:47.920
we ask people to describe their social
life in the eighties and kind of compare
498
00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:54.119
it to how kids socialize today.
And we got tremendous amounts of feedback and
499
00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:59.920
one of those, one of those
that I'd like to share with you is
500
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:04.320
from Lori Am. She said that
she's so glass, she grew up before
501
00:38:04.440 --> 00:38:07.800
kids begged to get a GPS tracker
for Christmas. She said, I had
502
00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:13.480
so much more fun that my kids
even try to have. And none of
503
00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:19.360
those stupid teenage things that she did
went viral in a video, thankfully.
504
00:38:19.480 --> 00:38:22.440
Oh ben't that crazy that Now?
Anything you do that's dumb is you know
505
00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:25.039
people are gonna see it. You
know what. The co founders of that
506
00:38:25.079 --> 00:38:30.480
are the those those the four dudes
that used to be called the Jackasses.
507
00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:37.199
Those cats brought on an ultimate stupidity
wave in America and it would just get
508
00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:40.320
caught on. And I like to
say it as I see so many jackasses
509
00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:43.840
out there in the real world,
and that show's not even on anymore.
510
00:38:43.880 --> 00:38:49.840
But I mean YouTube is full of
people committing asses of themselves and they're getting
511
00:38:49.920 --> 00:38:53.400
hits and and you know, generations
are thinking these people are stars, and
512
00:38:53.480 --> 00:38:57.760
it's like right on, right on. But it was the birth of the
513
00:38:57.840 --> 00:39:02.280
jackass. Is why we see an
increase on jackasses as we sit here and
514
00:39:02.320 --> 00:39:08.800
speak of it now. It is
it is, let's see. Bruce Beagle
515
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:15.440
said he preferred real not manufactured through
technology, which is what we all agree.
516
00:39:16.280 --> 00:39:22.320
And Jason Fleetwood said he would write
his skateboard and bike all around Pasadena
517
00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:28.079
hop on the RT right, used
to hop on the RTD bus. You
518
00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:30.840
remember the RTD. We used to
call it Richard T. Davis. Bro
519
00:39:32.320 --> 00:39:37.039
Jason says, it stands for rough, tough and dangerous. Oh, yes,
520
00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:40.880
that's a good one right there.
Yeah, I remember that bus would
521
00:39:40.920 --> 00:39:45.400
take you in and out of some
of the darkest places in the entire city
522
00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:50.599
that you grew up in. RTD
will take you in to get crack cope,
523
00:39:51.440 --> 00:39:57.960
uh weed, alcohol of an illegal
gas liquor store, take you all
524
00:39:58.000 --> 00:40:02.559
the way to a mall, take
it to a horse track. RTD took
525
00:40:02.599 --> 00:40:07.199
you anywhere you wanted to go.
You know what, Bro, I used
526
00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:10.480
to trip out man sometimes if if
I had to, Yeah, I would
527
00:40:10.559 --> 00:40:15.639
jump on the Richard T. Davis
and cruise with your boulevard. I take
528
00:40:15.679 --> 00:40:19.280
that sucker all the way down,
get off from Atlantic Roll and then run
529
00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:22.079
across the street and take that that
iff and thing all the way back row.
530
00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:24.519
And it was cool because you know, you're way up in the bus.
531
00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:29.559
You get to check out all the
girls that are wearing miniskirts and all
532
00:40:29.599 --> 00:40:31.519
the cats that are in their drinking
beer trying to hide it from the cops.
533
00:40:31.880 --> 00:40:37.440
You get to see You get to
see all the drug paraphernalia. RTD
534
00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:39.000
was bad, bro, when you
had a cruise the way to go oh,
535
00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:44.239
I know, Katrina Kaiser said,
cruising the town's high school football games,
536
00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:49.559
the pow wow concerts that were affordable. Now do you remember concerts were
537
00:40:49.639 --> 00:40:52.280
actually affordable back then. Now,
if you want to go see a concert
538
00:40:52.400 --> 00:40:55.480
and you don't want to, if
you want to, even if you go
539
00:40:55.519 --> 00:40:59.840
in the nosebleed section, you're looking
at two hundred dollars a pop, some
540
00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:02.960
depending on the artist you are.
Sometimes you go to a concert, it's
541
00:41:04.320 --> 00:41:07.840
festival seating. You're gonna spend maybe
thirty five to fifty bucks a pop.
542
00:41:07.519 --> 00:41:12.199
But long gone or the days where
you can go get a floor seat for
543
00:41:12.360 --> 00:41:15.800
like twenty bucks, twenty five bucks. You know, the only way you're
544
00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:17.679
gonna get that deal. Like I
say, festival seating, and it's almost
545
00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:22.880
like a dog eat dog fight for
your seat. So that's exactly the best
546
00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:25.880
way to go. Oh, Daniel
Colangelo said, listening to songs on the
547
00:41:27.000 --> 00:41:31.159
radio and waiting to tape them on
his sound system, playing video games,
548
00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:36.840
riding my bike with friends, watching
my favorite TV show and if you missed
549
00:41:36.840 --> 00:41:39.800
it, you had to wait for
reruns in the summer, going to Blockbuster
550
00:41:39.920 --> 00:41:45.880
Video and picking out the new releases
before anyone else could. Now, Toscano,
551
00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:49.360
let me ask you really quick what
kind of a mixtape was in the
552
00:41:49.400 --> 00:41:55.800
mind of a young Mario Toscano.
Wham, Maybe you're gonna say that no,
553
00:41:55.960 --> 00:42:00.920
to be you know what, it's
funny to be honest. I've always
554
00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:06.599
been the kind of person that likes
all kinds of genres. And you know
555
00:42:06.599 --> 00:42:09.159
how usually you'll have well, for
example, you you pretty much only like
556
00:42:10.159 --> 00:42:13.519
I know, you like all kinds
of music, right, I know that,
557
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:17.039
But I can picture you back then
strictly metal, am I correct?
558
00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:22.159
Pretty much? So yeah, pretty
much yea. And classic rock was referred
559
00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:25.440
to back in the late seventy as
acid rock. You know with your arrowsmith
560
00:42:25.679 --> 00:42:30.480
right right. And you know I
had I had friends that were into nothing
561
00:42:30.840 --> 00:42:37.639
but listening to a power one oh
six, you know, and yeah,
562
00:42:37.679 --> 00:42:40.639
and well this is way before big
Boy. And then I also had friends
563
00:42:40.679 --> 00:42:46.039
that were listening only to rock.
In my case, I listened to everything.
564
00:42:46.320 --> 00:42:50.679
So my mixtape, as a matter
of fact, look what I got
565
00:42:50.679 --> 00:42:53.599
in front of me. Oh my
god, so I'm shoeing chang. What
566
00:42:54.480 --> 00:42:59.440
give me a two songs off of
one of the Well, yeah, absolutely,
567
00:42:59.679 --> 00:43:02.039
okay. You said something about Wham, right, So I got Everything
568
00:43:02.119 --> 00:43:09.119
She Wants by Wham, But I've
also got Living Inside Myself. Yeah,
569
00:43:09.119 --> 00:43:15.079
that was a bad song. Keep
On Loving You by Ario Speedwagon, Rosanna
570
00:43:15.199 --> 00:43:23.480
by Toto, Oh yep. And
then I got You Belonged to the City
571
00:43:23.519 --> 00:43:29.079
by Glenn Fry. That's just an
example. I remember that song you Belong
572
00:43:29.280 --> 00:43:34.559
to the City. But you know
what, most of the mixtape songs um
573
00:43:35.199 --> 00:43:37.360
Before I used to put the name
of the songs. Now I just create
574
00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:40.679
mixtapes and I don't put the songs. I just put the word mixtape and
575
00:43:40.719 --> 00:43:45.400
stick it to the back of the
cassette. You know what, when we
576
00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:50.159
are up and going, you need
to do a music show, just like
577
00:43:50.360 --> 00:43:55.639
Casey Cason of all the soft rock
smooth hits back into the eighties. And
578
00:43:55.679 --> 00:44:01.719
I think both of us should incorporate
a music show as a sister or a
579
00:44:01.800 --> 00:44:07.079
brother show to the No Frog podcast
back to the eighties, and both of
580
00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:14.960
us play different genres of eighties music. Therefore, when they are done and
581
00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:20.880
we release them from our stupidity of
talking, they can go listen to us
582
00:44:21.559 --> 00:44:27.199
musically and be captivated and take off
into their fantasy world of the eighties.
583
00:44:27.760 --> 00:44:32.840
What better way than to be carried
away with eighties love songs with nobody other
584
00:44:32.920 --> 00:44:39.519
than the Italian guru of love,
Mariot. But yeah, I gotta tell
585
00:44:39.559 --> 00:44:43.039
you, I mean, that's a
great idea. But I also listened to
586
00:44:43.639 --> 00:44:45.800
you know, I also listened to
some rap. I definitely listened to rock.
587
00:44:46.239 --> 00:44:50.800
I loved Van Halen and of course, you know, my favorite band
588
00:44:50.800 --> 00:44:53.480
of all time is you Two.
So I mean I listened to bands,
589
00:44:54.159 --> 00:44:59.079
and I loved hair bands, you
know, Twisted Sister, Cinderella, Poison.
590
00:44:59.360 --> 00:45:02.519
I love the bands, even Motley
Crue, Quiet Riot and things like
591
00:45:02.559 --> 00:45:06.840
that. So I was all all
across the board. You know, I
592
00:45:06.840 --> 00:45:09.440
could never just listen to one type
of music. Well, I think that's
593
00:45:09.480 --> 00:45:15.000
why we surprise. I surprise you
when we were playing our trivia with the
594
00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:20.920
music, and I really think that
I surprised you on some of the other
595
00:45:20.960 --> 00:45:24.119
bands that I knew that were not
hard rock or metal, right right,
596
00:45:25.199 --> 00:45:29.480
No, I will never admit in
a court of law that I sat there
597
00:45:29.480 --> 00:45:32.440
for hours listening to them and trying
to dance. But I had the incredible
598
00:45:32.440 --> 00:45:37.599
White Man Disease dance where I couldn't
catch a bet. I won't know what's
599
00:45:37.679 --> 00:45:42.920
record to admit that. You know
what's funny that most metal heads, most
600
00:45:43.039 --> 00:45:46.599
rockers, will never admit even though
I know they do, and they know
601
00:45:46.679 --> 00:45:52.960
they do listen to other stuff,
like, for example, Debbie Gibson and
602
00:45:52.119 --> 00:45:58.000
Paula Abduel, and you know,
Michael Jackson, you know, you know
603
00:45:58.199 --> 00:46:00.880
you're out there and you do listen
to them. You don't need to swear
604
00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:05.639
on a bible here in court,
but I know you do now. My
605
00:46:05.719 --> 00:46:10.360
wife resembled resembled Paula Abduel when I
first started wanting to date her really bad.
606
00:46:10.960 --> 00:46:14.639
And as a matter of fact,
two of my good buddies, they
607
00:46:14.639 --> 00:46:16.360
were heavy metal guys. Well you
know they had the hair, and I'm
608
00:46:16.360 --> 00:46:22.159
going to give you their names,
Henry Santos and Tony Fielding. Now these
609
00:46:22.159 --> 00:46:24.840
guys were my buddies, ride long
haired guys. But these guys would rather
610
00:46:24.920 --> 00:46:30.800
go dancing if they could, then
go to a metal gig. And we
611
00:46:30.920 --> 00:46:35.400
used to call these two dudes Millie
Vanilly because they had long hair. Then
612
00:46:35.440 --> 00:46:39.400
they would get into disco affarel and
drive around in my buddy Henry's iraq.
613
00:46:39.519 --> 00:46:43.800
Oh man, it was Millie Vanilli
all over the place. Bro. We
614
00:46:43.880 --> 00:46:45.800
used to call these guys silly Willie. Bro, That's what I called them,
615
00:46:45.880 --> 00:46:51.480
Hey, silly Willie Sam Duprie as
she said, riding her banana seat
616
00:46:51.719 --> 00:46:57.559
bikes, getting lost in the woods, eating French fries and real chocolate milkshakes
617
00:46:57.559 --> 00:47:01.400
at the local convenience store, waiting
all week for Saturday morning cartoons, being
618
00:47:01.400 --> 00:47:07.159
allowed to stay up late to watch
The Honeymooners with the parents. On Saturday
619
00:47:07.239 --> 00:47:10.519
nights, everyone was with friends and
everyone else, you know, monkey bars,
620
00:47:10.599 --> 00:47:15.920
jungle Gym's, fresh air, skin
knees, and dinner at the dinner
621
00:47:15.960 --> 00:47:21.119
table every night with the entire family
at five o'clock. You know what I
622
00:47:21.199 --> 00:47:25.639
missed back then? I miss watching
Saturday Night Live with Eddie Murphy and Joel
623
00:47:25.639 --> 00:47:30.039
Piscoball. Oh my goodness, can
you remember when they did this skit of
624
00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:35.440
Stevie Wonder and Frank Sinatra all that
thing. I was just going to bring
625
00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:37.280
that up, Stevie. What the
hell are we beating around the bush for?
626
00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:40.800
This is nineteen eighty two. Let's
get right to the point. Huh
627
00:47:40.800 --> 00:47:45.599
here take it from the tops.
Swing at Stevie with a bounce. Baby,
628
00:47:49.800 --> 00:47:54.480

late can when you send them free?
630
00:48:05.840 --> 00:48:13.880
We all know cats are the same

631
00:48:14.079 --> 00:48:21.599
chicks. I am duc can't?
You are lie? Are blind as a
632
00:48:21.760 --> 00:48:28.159
bad side side by side? You
are high on me? Go negro.
633
00:48:28.760 --> 00:48:40.079
Let's not fight heaven men divers just
living in perfect We're talking salt and pepper.
634
00:48:43.679 --> 00:48:51.280
Stevie and me are pg king,
You are life. You are black
635
00:48:51.960 --> 00:48:59.840
and the who can? Who can? Baby? They would never allow that
636
00:49:00.159 --> 00:49:02.239
today on SNL. They would never
allow it. Oh yeah, over the
637
00:49:02.280 --> 00:49:07.119
line, bro always playing the night
lights on a lot of stuff that that
638
00:49:07.239 --> 00:49:10.039
we miss and one of our biggest
top fans well, before we get to
639
00:49:10.079 --> 00:49:14.920
our one of our biggest top fans, we have Jesse Reid who said skating
640
00:49:14.960 --> 00:49:17.159
parties were big, staying the night
with friends and playing Nintendo all night.
641
00:49:17.440 --> 00:49:21.840
Hey, who's that guy? Back? Your football games, home run games
642
00:49:21.840 --> 00:49:24.400
at the baseball fields, riding our
bikes to local store, getting candy,
643
00:49:24.519 --> 00:49:30.960
running around and playing outside from sun
up to sundown. So many great memories.
644
00:49:30.719 --> 00:49:35.920
And one of our top fans,
mister Steve Chavez, said, hey,
645
00:49:35.960 --> 00:49:38.079
who's that guy. I don't know, he sounds kind of interesting.
646
00:49:38.119 --> 00:49:42.480
He said. He used to go
to cruising with your boulevard from Atlantic to
647
00:49:42.719 --> 00:49:46.280
Pico Bridge, also up and down
Hollywood Boulevard. Sun said, Boulevard PC
648
00:49:46.880 --> 00:49:51.280
So call was a great place in
the eighties. That's how it was for
649
00:49:51.320 --> 00:49:53.719
you, right, pretty much,
So, Bro, I've always been one
650
00:49:53.800 --> 00:49:58.039
that likes to be among people.
For some reason. I could have been
651
00:49:58.039 --> 00:50:00.119
a politician, but I don't like
lying to p people. So I just
652
00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:06.039
like being out there with people,
meeting people, feeling different energies. My
653
00:50:06.159 --> 00:50:09.119
father always told me it's the only
way you're going to read people and understand
654
00:50:09.199 --> 00:50:14.719
what makes people tick and how the
real world is is put yourself out there
655
00:50:15.079 --> 00:50:17.719
whatever response you get, that's going
to tell you exactly what type of person
656
00:50:17.800 --> 00:50:21.760
that is. And then with your
own God and our knowledge, you will
657
00:50:21.800 --> 00:50:24.159
decide do I want to hang with
them or do I want to just bounce
658
00:50:24.519 --> 00:50:29.440
food for thought out there? I
agree. Let me tell you a funny
659
00:50:29.440 --> 00:50:34.119
story before we end the program today, when we talk about the things that
660
00:50:34.159 --> 00:50:37.920
we used to do. Sometimes things
that you know back then, Yes,
661
00:50:37.400 --> 00:50:39.599
we had a lot of fun,
but we also did a lot of things
662
00:50:39.599 --> 00:50:44.559
that could have got us really really
hurt. And yes, and I remember
663
00:50:44.599 --> 00:50:46.960
we used to play tag, all
right, We used to play tag with
664
00:50:47.000 --> 00:50:51.639
our bikes. So we played tag
with our bikes on top of the school
665
00:50:51.719 --> 00:50:55.639
roof. Oh yeah, good times. And yeah, and then we'd ghost
666
00:50:55.760 --> 00:51:00.199
ride our bikes off the roof,
which means basically we'd write really fast and
667
00:51:00.320 --> 00:51:02.719
let go of the bike and have
the bike just fall off the roof.
668
00:51:02.840 --> 00:51:06.880
Yeah, we used to do things
like that. But I remember, I'm
669
00:51:06.880 --> 00:51:10.280
a bit older, so my childhood
days on a bike and doing anything that
670
00:51:10.440 --> 00:51:15.480
was anything crazy was in the seventies, and we would call that the Evil
671
00:51:15.599 --> 00:51:21.119
kaneval experience. Yes, yes,
that's for another show. Some of the
672
00:51:21.199 --> 00:51:23.320
things that we used to do,
But then that's from the seventies, so
673
00:51:23.559 --> 00:51:29.039
yeah, And I remember putting a
mattress outside of our house and doing the
674
00:51:29.360 --> 00:51:35.480
ww F wrestling scenes, throwing ourselves
off the roof of the house. Great
675
00:51:35.519 --> 00:51:40.800
times. I remember seeing like some
of my partner's little brothers throwing each other
676
00:51:40.840 --> 00:51:45.039
on tables, jumping off the roof
on the tables. Insanity back then,
677
00:51:45.119 --> 00:51:51.440
brothers. Just the things that you
could do back then, there's no way
678
00:51:51.440 --> 00:51:53.639
you could do them. No,
no, you know, this is back
679
00:51:53.679 --> 00:51:58.719
to the eighties. And the main
reason we want to be here with you
680
00:51:58.760 --> 00:52:01.159
guys, and why we thank you
guys for taking your time to be with
681
00:52:01.239 --> 00:52:07.280
us, is because we are all
from around that era and we all went
682
00:52:07.280 --> 00:52:09.960
through very similar things. You know. I remember, you know Sam Dr
683
00:52:10.000 --> 00:52:15.079
Prest said eating French fries with real
chocolate milkshakes. I remember French fries and
684
00:52:15.159 --> 00:52:20.039
vanilla shakes, and those were to
die for back then. But we all
685
00:52:20.039 --> 00:52:24.280
shared very similar experiences, which means
we have a special bond between all of
686
00:52:24.360 --> 00:52:30.199
us, and now it's time that
we share this same bond with our family,
687
00:52:30.199 --> 00:52:35.679
with our kids, with this generation
that has no idea of what we
688
00:52:35.719 --> 00:52:38.440
were really like or what we went
through back then. So I'm going to
689
00:52:38.480 --> 00:52:44.400
invite you guys that this week share
something that you did in the eighties with
690
00:52:44.519 --> 00:52:49.039
the generation that needs to hear it. So from back to the eighties,
691
00:52:49.280 --> 00:52:52.400
this is Tiscano. Thanks a lot, be safe and we'll see you next
692
00:52:52.440 --> 00:52:57.159
week. God bless you guys.

remember to look at the weekend with us

good for somebody. Remember, don't get
695
00:53:02.920 --> 00:53:06.840
caught up in all the crap that's

world needs. Remember only through unity where

00:53:19.920 --> 00:53:22.960

16
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:12.840
beautifully green. It's a little dead
because we haven't had any rain in about
17
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:17.840
two years, But we've got an
outstanding paint crew and they have given a
18
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:23.040
nice code of latex right over the
grass. It looks brand new. Speaking

24
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:45.640

00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.439
have been a big baseball bad when
you were a kid, right I was,

00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:53.480
especially with Ronsey, Steve Garvey and
Fernando vellensway last, Oh, you're
27
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.359
talking about some of the latest greatest
Doggers of all time. I remember being
28
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:01.680
a doctor stadium during Fernando. I
was a mere teenager and I was barely
29
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:06.400
calling uh games up in the local
part of Grebery Park about Abella. I
30
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:09.479
was called Italy game, making them
exciting. Take it home to the kids,

one for everyone, everybody. Let's
see agent scoutter. They're about to

you ever seen cardboard cutouts do the way?
33
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:20.960
It is insane? And I was
like wet cardboard. Back to the

program for you guys today because check this
73
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:53.560
out, Chang. Last week we
asked everybody on our Facebook page to describe
74
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:57.360
their social life in the eighties and
to kind of compare it to what kids
75
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:01.680
today are going through or how they
live today. And uh, you know
76
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:06.279
it, I know it. We've
got tons and tons of posts and comments
77
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:12.079
on this. Everybody seemed to want
to chip in with this, and I
78
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:17.680
think it's it's just awesome because we
learned quite a bit. And with all
79
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:24.040
those stories that were said and posted, I learned that we're not so different,
80
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:27.240
all of us, that we're from
that era. We really really do
81
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:30.199
think alike. So let's say before
we get started, we take a little
82
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:35.519
identifier break when we come back back
to the eighties. Is taking us on
83
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:46.319
a ride. You're listening to back
to the eighties? We never stop it
84
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:50.959
hurts, didn't hurt, didn't hurt, didn't hurt, nonstyle, unforgettable memories
85
00:06:51.079 --> 00:07:00.639
from the eighties. Stop back to
the eighties Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and
86
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:05.240
girls, Eighties cats, kitties,
and eighties ladies. You are back with
87
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:11.480
Back to the Eighties hosted by Tascanow
and Shang. We're gonna hit you today's
88
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:17.120
show with our post and Tascano,
why don't you go ahead and read one
89
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:25.120
of our very first responses and let's
take this show with that, and let's
90
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:28.920
get this party started. I know, I know, you know, a
91
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:30.439
lot of these posts were really good. Some of them were really funny,
92
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:34.079
as they are always, but a
lot of them were really serious. And
93
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:39.759
you know that a lot of people
are really nostalgic during these times. And
94
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:43.000
once again, let's go over the
post. It said, describe your social
95
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:48.519
life in the eighties and compare it
to kids today. Tom t Patrick Ryan
96
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:53.120
mentioned that he was in college from
eighty two to eighty seven, and his
97
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:59.560
social life was dancing, drinking,
and playing trivial pursuit. Beverly Blovin Staley
98
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:01.959
said she was in high school from
nineteen eighty to nineteen eighty four. Her
99
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:07.399
biggest social event was cruising the local
strip on Friday and Saturday nights. Oh
100
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:11.720
yes, that was a fun favor
I think of all of us. I
101
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:15.879
remember cruising with your Boulevard homie,
with all my whole music there a niche
102
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:18.000
lows the Monday lay all the way
to piquity LETI and then I remember going
103
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:24.560
down to cruise Sunset and getting some
of those fine eighties ladies of the metal
104
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:28.920
scene. There was something about the
eighties, wasn't it about the cruising that
105
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.559
just made you get excited when you
knew you were about to go cruising,
106
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.679
When you knew Sunday was cracking,
you knew your weekend was not over yet
107
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.440
because it was going to be cruising. You hit one of those highways and
108
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:43.240
then you start creeping down that old
highway and you get to check out all
109
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:48.159
the cool rise, all the people
that are walking back and forth. You
110
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.080
hear all the music getting cranks so
many different types of music, all kinds
111
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:54.159
of different types of people. You
had the chore lows and the cholas.
112
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:58.559
You had the punkers and the punk
yeads, and you had the rocker dudes
113
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:05.639
of rock chicks. You had the
kind of alternative style looking cats. I
114
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.799
mean, it was almost like it
was like a candy store of people.
115
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.000
When you went cruising, bro,
if you know what I'm saying, I
116
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:18.159
mean you had hot ros, lowriders, motorcycles, crazy looking vans and that
117
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.320
was they. Ever remember when people
would put murals on their vans, you
118
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.159
know what I'm saying. Yeah,
I remember that, these big old um
119
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:30.399
these big old van conversions. Remember, yeah, dude, I my sister
120
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:31.519
had one of those. We used
to roll in that thing. Bro.
121
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.440
Great and if you if you remember, we all, depending on the group
122
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.960
that you were with, you would
all pick a different restaurant to hang around,
123
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.559
or had the parking lots to hang
around. You get some parking lots
124
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.879
filled with bikers and other parking lot
filled with low riders and so on.
125
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:56.360
Yeah, that's what's creating. Everybody
created their own territory in their own space
126
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:00.879
at certain locations, which was always
cool. You know, you pull into
127
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:03.919
the parking notts and you roll around
that little area and then you drive back
128
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.879
out and you always get an Eiffel
of some craziness and an Eiffel of something
129
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:16.480
where all of a sudden you go, hey, swing on her hoop bearings.
130
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:22.200
You know what intrigues me is that
it's unfortunate that kids today won't ever
131
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:28.360
ever understand what we had and how
good we actually did have it. And
132
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:33.080
one of those main reasons is because
of this the amount of social interaction that
133
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.000
we had. That's all we did, that's all we knew. You know.
134
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:41.480
Unfortunately, kids these days they either
know something that is related to a
135
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:46.320
screen or being at home, maybe
at times go out with some friends,
136
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:52.720
but they don't have the amount of
interaction, personal interaction that we did,
137
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:54.879
you know, the social interaction that
we did. It's just how it was.
138
00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:00.440
We didn't have all the technology that
we do. That unfortunate they do
139
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.720
today. And so you know,
we weren't. We weren't stuck in front
140
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:09.240
of a screen all day. So
let's continue. We have John Paul Snyders
141
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:13.360
who said that he's still amazed at
how much interaction and social life and friends
142
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.799
that he had, and that they
managed to get together daily without the use
143
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.879
of any kind of phones, and
how much stupid stuff they did without being
144
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.240
afraid of it showing up on the
internet, because of course, I mean,
145
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:30.200
they just can't leave their phone.
And talking about phones, I know
146
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:33.320
this is an eighties show, but
I want to recommend you there's a great
147
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:37.679
program on Netflix. It's called The
Social Dilemma. When you get a chance,
148
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:43.360
check it out. The Social Dilemma. It's on Netflix. It's an
149
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:48.039
eye opener because there are so many
people, and not only the young people,
150
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:52.919
but there's so many older people that
think that there's nothing wrong with how
151
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.320
things are going today. It's just
the advancement of technology and it's just evolution,
152
00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:01.600
basically, and we have to adapt. Watch The Shual Dilemma on Netflix.
153
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:03.679
For us here back to the eighties. I mean, we still have
154
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:05.879
to interact with people online, but
as far as on a personal level,
155
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.279
I'm trying to as little as possible, you know, watch YouTube videos and
156
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:13.480
things like that on my phone.
That's because big Brother is watching brother.
157
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:18.519
But you know, big Brother has
always been watching us. And I mean
158
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:20.159
that was the phrase I was put
to us, I believe in the late
159
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:26.320
sixties by Jefferson Airplane. You know
they made that song Big Brother in the
160
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:31.080
Holding Company and that who also backed
up Janice Joplin. Music has been talking
161
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.639
about Big Brother for years and this
goes all the way into as a matter
162
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:37.679
of fact, into the eighties with
Judas Priest when they came out with the
163
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:43.799
album Screaming for Vengeance and a song
that they call Electric Eye. Ryan,
164
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:46.559
I remember that song. Yeah,
So, I mean we've always you know,
165
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:52.759
you've always had to have known that
Big Brother is watching. But nowadays
166
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:58.039
with our mobile devices, our tablets, even some of our computer wear that
167
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:01.159
we may have at home or on
the go, you know, the government's
168
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:03.320
able to tap in and find out
what we're doing. If you notice,
169
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.840
you buy a brand new TV,
it's not like the old days. Now
170
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.279
you have to program your TV with
your phone, so it has to be
171
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:15.039
compatible. So now Big Brother is
aware of what you're watching on TV.
172
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:20.840
You know. I mean, it's
scary. It's a bit to me,
173
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:26.039
and it's a bit losing of our
freedoms which this country was supposedly built on.
174
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:33.080
Everyone has a freedom. Unfortunately,
as we are seeing society decay,
175
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:37.960
we are losing those freedoms. But
to our own stupidity and our own negligence.
176
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:41.039
We lose more and more. Yeah, I agree. Eric Johnson said
177
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:45.279
that in the eighties he'd go ride
his bike and go on bike trails or
178
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:48.240
around the neighborhoods, and they'd go
to the prairie try to catch snakes,
179
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:52.559
and that kids today would never never
go out to do that. Imagine telling
180
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:56.399
a kid today, Hey, let's
let's go ride our bikes and let's go
181
00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:00.639
catch some snakes. You know.
I try telling my grand children when they
182
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:03.240
were up here visiting me for about
a month during the summer, hey let's
183
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:05.480
take a walk, let's go to
the creek. Let's go look for some
184
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:09.480
wild animals and make some hats out
of them. And they were like,
185
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:15.960
whoa, Papa, I think you've
lost your mind. But yet through you
186
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:20.320
know, kids nowadays, they'd lost
that edge, that kind of a little
187
00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:22.720
bit of toughness that I don't think
they ever had it. You know,
188
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:26.279
because a lot of these especially the
gen Z I'm not talking about millennials,
189
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:31.679
I think they lost it because they
still grew up with their parents from the
190
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:35.679
eighties, seventies and eighties. But
gen Z, these these kids born after
191
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:41.639
ninety six and born today, this
gen z. They're in it. I
192
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:43.919
mean, they're born in it,
so they don't know any better. I'll
193
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:48.679
tell you bottom line, who I
think I believe is to blame, and
194
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:54.360
that's us the seventies and eighties kids
that you know, we didn't have this
195
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:58.720
technology. So when when it came
in, we saw the development of all
196
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:01.840
this technology, and so when it
came man, I mean, it blew
197
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:03.799
us out of the water. We
were so thrilled to have it. We
198
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:07.320
had no idea what it was going
to do to us. And unfortunately,
199
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:11.000
instead of us putting the bridle on
it to control it, no, we
200
00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:15.360
let it go rampant. We just
let it go. We had no idea
201
00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:18.639
what it was going to do.
And we've allowed our kids and in my
202
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:24.000
household, we didn't allow our kids
to have phones on table until they were
203
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:28.360
thirteen and fourteen. Most of their
friends, most of their friends already had
204
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:30.559
phones in school and they told them, you know, they kind of looked
205
00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:33.639
at them weird for not having phones. But deep down inside, I believe
206
00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:37.720
that most of us parents from that
era, from the era that we miss,
207
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:43.519
are to blame because we've allowed our
kids all these liberties for whatever the
208
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:46.279
reason. I mean, we weren't
always in quarantine, we didn't always have
209
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:50.960
COVID nineteen. So we can't just
blame it on just allow the kids,
210
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:54.679
because what else are they going to
do? No, I agree, I
211
00:15:56.039 --> 00:16:00.759
kind of blamed the rapid rate and
the kind of easy complex city that people
212
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:07.519
have about getting divorced or not getting
married, which I'm not going to condemn
213
00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:10.120
that either, because Lord knows,
I am not married and I've been with
214
00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:14.320
the same woman going up thirty two
years. It's all about commitment, it's
215
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:18.600
all about respect, it's all about
love and truth. Now, I think
216
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:22.480
our generation and a little bit of
the seventies generation, my brother I feel
217
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:30.440
dropped the ball as in parenting skills
by couples being so quick to get divorced
218
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:36.200
or separate and did so many deadbeat
dads that we see out there. Now
219
00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:40.879
we're starting to get a lot of
drop out moms. You know. Our
220
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:44.200
generation kind of paved the way to
show our children that you don't need to
221
00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:49.240
have commitment if it's getting tough bail
out, and unfortunately that we see in
222
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:55.440
so many relationships, so many children
being brought up with step parents or in
223
00:16:55.480 --> 00:17:00.559
and out of out the door,
some type of apparent role as mom or
224
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:03.599
dad are always sleeping around. So
I do blame our generation, but I
225
00:17:03.640 --> 00:17:08.640
also do blame kind of the government
in a way too, brother, because
226
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:14.759
it is so very hard to make
ends meet and survive in modern day society.
227
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:18.680
It takes two parents, if they
stay together, to go out there
228
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:22.839
and run a household, so they
both have to be at work. We
229
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:27.519
see a climb in the percentage of
latchkey children, which you know that terminology
230
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:32.160
where kids are just being at home. We have no more really no more
231
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:37.920
park programs for kids to go hang
around with and they're watched by somebody else
232
00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:41.319
and they're doing crafts or they're playing
or something in the park. We don't
233
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:44.759
see any of that. So what
we have is a lot of kids that
234
00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:48.680
only have mobile devices and a lot
of freedom to do whatever they're going to
235
00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:53.839
do. And a device cannot guide
your kid on what he can or can't
236
00:17:53.839 --> 00:18:00.240
watch. It cannot give your kid
as much education as you would like to
237
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:04.640
think, or as much as technology
was supposed to be used for. So
238
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:11.200
there's I agree with you that our
generation dropped the ball, but you also
239
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:15.920
have to understand, like you did, say, all the millennial children,
240
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:19.440
children of you know, my generation, My kids, they didn't get a
241
00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:22.400
cell phone until they were already adults, and they had to buy it themselves.
242
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:26.039
Brother, you know, my children
have good work ethic. They know
243
00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:30.839
what it's like to go camping and
playing outside and you know, playing hide
244
00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:33.759
and seek, you're riding your bike. You know, they didn't grow up
245
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:37.680
with your typical Hell you put them
in front of a video game and then
246
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:41.759
their loss forever, or they go
to hit their laptop to do homework.
247
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:45.039
I mean that was just nonexistent back
then. Yeah, if you get a
248
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:48.839
chance to watch The Social Dilemma,
it's going to open your eyes. Take
249
00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:52.839
the time. I mean, if
you're a parent, and if you're not,
250
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:57.680
watch it because you may be one
of the ones that that special is
251
00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:00.960
all about. This is back to
the eighties. We're gonna take a very
252
00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:06.640

to the eighties. This is the one
263
00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:02.200
on only back to the eighties to
Kindo and Chain here with you. We
264
00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:07.440
were reading posts from something that we
placed online on our Facebook page that said,
265
00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:12.160
describe your social life in the eighties
compared to kids today. We got
266
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:15.599
tons of feedback and I want to
thank you guys for that. We left
267
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:21.359
off on one of your posts and
it's Sean McCormick. Sean McCormick said,
268
00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:23.319
I was in junior high and high
school in the eighties. He said,
269
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:27.519
I walked to school and back home. Lived in a very, very small
270
00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:32.559
town. He said, my social
life was spent at lunch or recess,
271
00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:37.160
hanging out talking. Of course,
there were our version of the eighties version
272
00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:41.319
of texting, you passing notes in
class and finding one in your locker.
273
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:45.839
He said, our biggest events were
on Fridays. They were either football basketball
274
00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:48.799
games, and he said he was
a very shy kid, but then had
275
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:52.000
some few friends and he would hang
out with him and their girlfriend, his
276
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:56.839
girlfriend at the time. Other than
sports, school dances were big, especially
277
00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:03.759
prom no proposals or or fancy hotels. The junior class decorated the gymnasium.
278
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:07.039
That's great stuff, man, So
Sean, thanks for thanks for all that
279
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:08.640
input. Man. Now, Sean, I want to ask Sean a real
280
00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:11.759
quick question. Hopefully he's listening to
the show. What high school did you
281
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:15.279
go to that you called it recess? And were you playing on the monkey
282
00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:18.400
bars? Because when we were in
high school it was great. Well,
283
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:21.279
he did say he was in junior
high. He said he was in junior
284
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:22.960
high end in high school. Oh, I thought maybe he was a junior
285
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:30.440
getting high that I misinterpreted where he
was going with a yeah, I see,
286
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:34.119
I see famaist Triggs said weekends in
the eighties were waking up at six
287
00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:40.240
thirty am every Saturday morning, then
either playing outside or at the mall in
288
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:44.759
the afternoons, to which I asked
him, Wow, six thirty in the
289
00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:47.480
morning to go play outside. Yeah, that wasn't me. I was one
290
00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:52.039
of those guys that slept till eleven
on Saturdays. Wow, but you were.
291
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:55.599
You were. You're a lot younger
than me, so you were probably
292
00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:57.599
out on your big will late at
night and you were a little tired.
293
00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:00.039
Well, that one must have been
very No. I was out of my
294
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:04.119
big wheel in the seventies. From
the eighties on, it was strictly riding
295
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:08.240
bikes the entire decade. I was
riding my bike. Now, what kind
296
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:12.480
of bike did you have? I
had to I had a BMX bike and
297
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:18.759
I also had a twelve speed.
Back then, I used to love,
298
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:26.039
you know, the going fast and
riding bikes like that. Yes, hey,
299
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:27.759
I heard you like riding bikes like
that. I can that. We
300
00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:33.200
can see you sometimes on the weekends
with your spandex every now and then if
301
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:36.839
you come down to the era where
I live. But I will not give
302
00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:41.799
up that information. So surprise,
you will actually see me riding up and
303
00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:48.240
down the highway and the byway in
my spandex levis. Now these are not
304
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:52.960
but these levi's are so tight.
It looks like you painted them on me.
305
00:22:53.400 --> 00:23:00.000
Every curve and bulge is seen all
the way down to my converse high
306
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.279
tops. That is too much info. Let's go. Let's go out with
307
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:11.079
the post. Sometimes a Judas pre
shirt, Sometimes I don't. Craig Foreman
308
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:14.960
said, biggest thing I noticed were
the freedoms. They were so different.
309
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:18.359
We had freedom to bike everywhere we
wanted to go, and today we just
310
00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:22.359
have the freedom to search on the
internet to go wherever we want to go.
311
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:26.000
So the freedom of biking is so
much more liberating. Well, yeah,
312
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:30.160
you know what I find ridiculous.
Anybody that takes a spin class.
313
00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:33.799
You go in thereputer in front of
you and you pretend you're out on the
314
00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:40.440
road with other people on your right. That is crazy, right, This
315
00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:45.920
whole movement of writing this peloton bicycle
because I understand a lot of people don't
316
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:49.240
have time, but come on,
you know, working class people have always
317
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:53.759
been busy, whether it was in
this era or in the eighties, people
318
00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:59.839
have always been busy and somehow you
could make time to hit a trail on
319
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:02.640
your bike. Come on, that's
yeah, I'm talking about you know.
320
00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:07.480
It's everything is so yuppy nowadays.
You know, and to me, yuppy
321
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:11.839
is like guppy, that's not a
real fish, that's that's nothing real.
322
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:15.920
I mean, you're in the middle
of being nothingness. And oh, me
323
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:18.920
and Karen are gonna go take spin
class, you know what. I'm gonna
324
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:22.400
spin the middle finger at you and
go jump on my BMX and I'm gonna
325
00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:26.440
hit some trails and do a little
bit of mountain biking and living and smouting
326
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:30.839
the earth and taking that breeze in
from the trees while you sit there at
327
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:36.119
your computer and you and Karen pretend
you're riding by Josh's house. Have at
328
00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:44.000
it all right. We got Bridget
and Mozarelli from upstate New York. Yeah,
329
00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:48.000
New York, Good to see you. She said that I had a
330
00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:49.960
big group of guys and girl friends
there. Early on, it was bike
331
00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:53.960
riding to the local swimming holes or
hanging out at her friends or another's house.
332
00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:59.839
And once everybody started turning sixteen,
it was bonfires and kegs at one
333
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:04.839
friend's house. And in the winter
time, I'll take the accent out.
334
00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:10.559
But in the winter, she said
that they moved into the garage or the
335
00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:14.599
basement. She said, my mom
was super uptight about everything. So a
336
00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:17.720
lot of times I told her I
was going to one place and ended up
337
00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:19.960
in another. I was the baby
of the group, so I had a
338
00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:25.319
lot of protectors. We also wrote
around the back of pickup trucks with a
339
00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:27.400
couple of guys that had their license, went to the movies, fairs,
340
00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:33.000
outdoor concerts, fair grounds. We
all went to local speedways to watch racing,
341
00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:36.880
a real life bumper cars. Music
was a big thing in her lives,
342
00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:42.319
as as was driving around at night
with the music blaring. Now there's
343
00:25:42.440 --> 00:25:48.279
somebody who had a great youth.
Now there's some kind of dame that I
344
00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:49.880
wish I would have met back in
the day, you know what I mean?
345
00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:52.240
Maybe she would have wanted to go
out and hang and bang with the
346
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:56.240
chang. I don't know, you
know, but that's my kind of girl.
347
00:25:56.680 --> 00:26:00.000
Going to go watch fast CAUs bumper
cars. You know what I'm saying.
348
00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:03.440
She likes to go for a ride. My kind of girl. That's
349
00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:07.839
Bridget. That's Bridget. We also
have friends Zernjski. Sorry Fred if I
350
00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:11.519
massacred your name, but you said
that you would hang around with friends,
351
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:17.599
having fun outside bowling alleys, going
to video games at the alleys, movies
352
00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:22.480
and theater, going to the pizzeria, drinking, getting in trouble, fights
353
00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:26.119
between rival parts of town. Well, this is my kind of guy right
354
00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:30.440
here, at just being a kid
with no worries, no stress. He
355
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:33.480
said he would watch old adult films. Oh and the Girls, Yes,
356
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:38.160
the Girls, the eighties decade that
made us and set the ground rules for
357
00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:44.400
the rest to follow. The point
is that we all did things that we
358
00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:48.319
all wish that we can get our
kids and you know, the grandkids and
359
00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:52.279
the family and maybe the kids down
the street to do. You know,
360
00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:56.400
we have been camping once in a
while, or you go to the lake
361
00:26:56.519 --> 00:27:00.200
or wherever it is that you go, and you see the kids. You
362
00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:03.680
know, I've seen some of my
family members, and you want them to
363
00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:07.839
pick up a ball, to pick
up a bat or just I don't care,
364
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:11.319
just go run play tag. I
don't care. Because they're young,
365
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:17.799
very little. No, they can't
drop their dang phones. And then you
366
00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:21.799
tell their parents, who are also
our age, and you tell them,
367
00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:25.640
you know, why don't we have
them leave their phones so they can interact
368
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:27.319
between each other. I mean,
after all, we're family, and they
369
00:27:27.319 --> 00:27:30.960
just stay quiet. No, we
can't. They you know they wouldn't want
370
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:34.039
to and drive. That drives me
up the wall because you know, yeah,
371
00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:37.279
I agree, yeah, And it's
that because you know and you and
372
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:41.240
we and we get I get discussed
it probably just like you because they are
373
00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:45.920
an adults and they can't get away
from their social device to interact with their
374
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:49.359
kids. And then they're going to
complain that their kids have those heart problems
375
00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:55.319
or diet or depression, you know, or a joint problem, muscle problems
376
00:27:55.359 --> 00:28:03.599
because they get no exercise. They
just sit around in the boom tube and
377
00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:11.240
eat. And it's so sad because
you see some of these parents and obviously
378
00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:14.160
they're not in the best of shape, best of health, and then you
379
00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:18.519
look at their kids and it resembles
what their parents look like, you know,
380
00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:23.000
And then you wonder, how could
you feel comfortable with showing your children
381
00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:29.400
how to be lazy, no activity
and just caution to the wind when it
382
00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:33.759
comes to your health men exactly physically. Kelly Ann said that she was heading
383
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:37.359
to the movies on Friday night and
then they went to meet boys at the
384
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:41.279
ice cream parlor, splash parties at
the swim club, or going to dances.
385
00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:45.880
She said, we literally lived like
Stranger Things the series, and rotor
386
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:52.160
bikes everywhere and wherever and whenever,
with no phones, no distractions. You
387
00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:56.160
know, she said, Saturday morning
cartoons with sugary cereal and then playing with
388
00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:00.559
her Barbies and Calico Vision with her
best friend. That life I had.
389
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:04.480
I'd have to agree, you know. I just feel that the disconnect is
390
00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:10.400
so great with this generation. It's
sad. Actually, when I talked to
391
00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:12.839
some of these young kids, they
look at you like you're an alien,
392
00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:17.759
bro. And not only do they
look at you funny, yeah, not
393
00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:19.799
like when we used to look at
our parents and our grandparents and go,
394
00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:23.279
oh yeah, remember then when they
used to tell us something about their childhood.
395
00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:26.079
We used to yeah, you don't
understand you guys were It was a
396
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:30.000
different time. But that's about it. We're not that old. You know.
397
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:33.079
Yes, we're a lot older than
kids in high school, but you
398
00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:37.000
know, we're at least thirty years
older than these kids in high school.
399
00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:40.000
But thirty years it is not for
you to say, oh my gosh,
400
00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:42.640
you know, you're an alien.
I don't even know what you're talking about.
401
00:29:44.119 --> 00:29:47.599
Nowadays, you see a lot more
lack of respect with the younger generations
402
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:52.039
and the younger kids and like that
also stems from parents not to partaking in
403
00:29:52.079 --> 00:30:00.799
their children's lives daily, not having
the social surroundings that we grew up or
404
00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:04.720
our children grew up within their era. So when that is lost, it's
405
00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:08.960
hard for the individual child to learn
how to respect when they don't have social
406
00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:14.119
skills. The other thing is if
you look at some of the television shows
407
00:30:14.119 --> 00:30:21.240
and cartoons that children nowadays have grown
up with, there is a scenario in
408
00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:25.319
a lot of these things where the
children are smarter, wiser, and more
409
00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:30.519
intelligent and a lot more freer than
the parents. And these kids shows and
410
00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:36.839
that shows them how to disrespect and
talk down to the adults and get that
411
00:30:36.920 --> 00:30:41.519
laugh soundtrack, and kids feel that
that is the probably way to be what
412
00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:45.359
they see on TV, the disrespect, but you know they're getting not the
413
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:48.880
laugh track, but they're learning how
to pretty much pay the way that they
414
00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:55.319
want. And the other thing is
like lack of discipline. I'm old school,
415
00:30:55.920 --> 00:30:59.880
you know what I mean. And
if my daughters acted up, also
416
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:03.519
bank them. If my grandchildren have
shown any disrespect, then I will spank
417
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:07.400
them on their butt. I'm not
beating them, but they'll get a little
418
00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:11.640
spank and I think when it came
to where the child had the power,
419
00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:18.799
I'll call the police. We lost
a little bit of our way in society,
420
00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:25.599
you know, well, we lost
our ability to have our rightful place
421
00:31:25.799 --> 00:31:30.920
as adults, as parents, then
as the authority figure because if you know,
422
00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:37.079
you know, some people in leadership
they say no, you are not
423
00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:41.119
to touch your kids period. As
a matter of fact, that we have
424
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:45.920
somebody that posted this common her name
is Monique Monville Minick. She said adults
425
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:51.039
had full authority over yelling at kids
back in the eighties and if they were
426
00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:53.799
doing something stupid, especially if they
were doing something stupid. Now, you
427
00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:57.680
can't even say hi to a kid
without the parent being up in your face
428
00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:02.440
telling you that you cannot even talk
to their child without permission. And you
429
00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:07.559
know that that also, I believe
comes from the spear people have of each
430
00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:13.759
other, sex trafficking, child,
pornography, child you know, pedophilia is
431
00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:17.960
at such a high rate nowadays,
a lot of parents have fear of who
432
00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:23.759
that person is, and that's very
understandable. But then again that falls in
433
00:32:23.799 --> 00:32:29.119
the same brackle. We have more
of those type of sickles and attacks because
434
00:32:29.160 --> 00:32:31.920
the breakdown at home with parents.
Yeah, exactly. You know, like
435
00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:36.799
I said, Oh, I'm old
school broth. There's no way in hell
436
00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:42.880
that I'm going to Oh okay,
yeah, John, you need a time
437
00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:45.559
out? Yeah you know what.
You didn't hear me. You want to
438
00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:49.119
time out. You're gonna take a
time out in breathing. When I smack
439
00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:51.640
your butts so hard you lose your
breath on the weight of the shower,
440
00:32:51.920 --> 00:32:57.000
that's your time out of Gene Kent
said, playing Dungeons and Dragons every Saturday
441
00:32:57.119 --> 00:33:01.119
after cartoons, basketball in the spring, football in the fall, watching Dan
442
00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:07.519
Marino on Sundays when football was football, riding bikes and walking in the neighborhood
443
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:13.480
at night, causing trouble, jumping
into ditches, and whenever a card came,
444
00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:17.680
even if they could see us,
watching TV during the week. When
445
00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:22.759
I got older, he says,
partying on Friday and Saturday night, listening
446
00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:27.559
to classic and southern rock, going
to see hair metal bands. Different time,
447
00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:30.799
completely, wasn't it? He said? It was an awesome time.
448
00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:34.240
We agree, Gene, thanks for
the post. What do you think,
449
00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:37.880
chang Lean? Jean? You brought
back so many great memories. Jane,

to keep you young, it's going to
451
00:33:42.279 --> 00:33:46.720
keep you happy when stuff is in
the old basket of crap. Keep the
452
00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:51.000
faith all the time, Jean,

list of changars that we have done
on our show. All you gotta do
491
00:37:09.159 --> 00:37:13.559
is act now, be one of
our patrons, kick down whatever you can
492
00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:19.400
and start the move to making you
happy all over again. What do you
493
00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:24.000
think to scon an autograph Tosconald,
I think that is an excellent, excellent
494
00:37:24.159 --> 00:37:31.880
idea and it's a go you promote
the I'm gonna run with it all right.
495
00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:37.000
So, before the break of course, we were talking about the posts
496
00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:43.199
that we put this past week on
our Facebook page where we talked about where
497
00:37:43.239 --> 00:37:47.920
we ask people to describe their social
life in the eighties and kind of compare
498
00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:54.119
it to how kids socialize today.
And we got tremendous amounts of feedback and
499
00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:59.920
one of those, one of those
that I'd like to share with you is
500
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:04.320
from Lori Am. She said that
she's so glass, she grew up before
501
00:38:04.440 --> 00:38:07.800
kids begged to get a GPS tracker
for Christmas. She said, I had
502
00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:13.480
so much more fun that my kids
even try to have. And none of
503
00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:19.360
those stupid teenage things that she did
went viral in a video, thankfully.
504
00:38:19.480 --> 00:38:22.440
Oh ben't that crazy that Now?
Anything you do that's dumb is you know
505
00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:25.039
people are gonna see it. You
know what. The co founders of that
506
00:38:25.079 --> 00:38:30.480
are the those those the four dudes
that used to be called the Jackasses.
507
00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:37.199
Those cats brought on an ultimate stupidity
wave in America and it would just get
508
00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:40.320
caught on. And I like to
say it as I see so many jackasses
509
00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:43.840
out there in the real world,
and that show's not even on anymore.
510
00:38:43.880 --> 00:38:49.840
But I mean YouTube is full of
people committing asses of themselves and they're getting
511
00:38:49.920 --> 00:38:53.400
hits and and you know, generations
are thinking these people are stars, and
512
00:38:53.480 --> 00:38:57.760
it's like right on, right on. But it was the birth of the
513
00:38:57.840 --> 00:39:02.280
jackass. Is why we see an
increase on jackasses as we sit here and
514
00:39:02.320 --> 00:39:08.800
speak of it now. It is
it is, let's see. Bruce Beagle
515
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:15.440
said he preferred real not manufactured through
technology, which is what we all agree.
516
00:39:16.280 --> 00:39:22.320
And Jason Fleetwood said he would write
his skateboard and bike all around Pasadena
517
00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:28.079
hop on the RT right, used
to hop on the RTD bus. You
518
00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:30.840
remember the RTD. We used to
call it Richard T. Davis. Bro
519
00:39:32.320 --> 00:39:37.039
Jason says, it stands for rough, tough and dangerous. Oh, yes,
520
00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:40.880
that's a good one right there.
Yeah, I remember that bus would
521
00:39:40.920 --> 00:39:45.400
take you in and out of some
of the darkest places in the entire city
522
00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:50.599
that you grew up in. RTD
will take you in to get crack cope,
523
00:39:51.440 --> 00:39:57.960
uh weed, alcohol of an illegal
gas liquor store, take you all
524
00:39:58.000 --> 00:40:02.559
the way to a mall, take
it to a horse track. RTD took
525
00:40:02.599 --> 00:40:07.199
you anywhere you wanted to go.
You know what, Bro, I used
526
00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:10.480
to trip out man sometimes if if
I had to, Yeah, I would
527
00:40:10.559 --> 00:40:15.639
jump on the Richard T. Davis
and cruise with your boulevard. I take
528
00:40:15.679 --> 00:40:19.280
that sucker all the way down,
get off from Atlantic Roll and then run
529
00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:22.079
across the street and take that that
iff and thing all the way back row.
530
00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:24.519
And it was cool because you know, you're way up in the bus.
531
00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:29.559
You get to check out all the
girls that are wearing miniskirts and all
532
00:40:29.599 --> 00:40:31.519
the cats that are in their drinking
beer trying to hide it from the cops.
533
00:40:31.880 --> 00:40:37.440
You get to see You get to
see all the drug paraphernalia. RTD
534
00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:39.000
was bad, bro, when you
had a cruise the way to go oh,
535
00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:44.239
I know, Katrina Kaiser said,
cruising the town's high school football games,
536
00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:49.559
the pow wow concerts that were affordable. Now do you remember concerts were
537
00:40:49.639 --> 00:40:52.280
actually affordable back then. Now,
if you want to go see a concert
538
00:40:52.400 --> 00:40:55.480
and you don't want to, if
you want to, even if you go
539
00:40:55.519 --> 00:40:59.840
in the nosebleed section, you're looking
at two hundred dollars a pop, some
540
00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:02.960
depending on the artist you are.
Sometimes you go to a concert, it's
541
00:41:04.320 --> 00:41:07.840
festival seating. You're gonna spend maybe
thirty five to fifty bucks a pop.
542
00:41:07.519 --> 00:41:12.199
But long gone or the days where
you can go get a floor seat for
543
00:41:12.360 --> 00:41:15.800
like twenty bucks, twenty five bucks. You know, the only way you're
544
00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:17.679
gonna get that deal. Like I
say, festival seating, and it's almost
545
00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:22.880
like a dog eat dog fight for
your seat. So that's exactly the best
546
00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:25.880
way to go. Oh, Daniel
Colangelo said, listening to songs on the
547
00:41:27.000 --> 00:41:31.159
radio and waiting to tape them on
his sound system, playing video games,
548
00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:36.840
riding my bike with friends, watching
my favorite TV show and if you missed
549
00:41:36.840 --> 00:41:39.800
it, you had to wait for
reruns in the summer, going to Blockbuster
550
00:41:39.920 --> 00:41:45.880
Video and picking out the new releases
before anyone else could. Now, Toscano,
551
00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:49.360
let me ask you really quick what
kind of a mixtape was in the
552
00:41:49.400 --> 00:41:55.800
mind of a young Mario Toscano.
Wham, Maybe you're gonna say that no,
553
00:41:55.960 --> 00:42:00.920
to be you know what, it's
funny to be honest. I've always
554
00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:06.599
been the kind of person that likes
all kinds of genres. And you know
555
00:42:06.599 --> 00:42:09.159
how usually you'll have well, for
example, you you pretty much only like
556
00:42:10.159 --> 00:42:13.519
I know, you like all kinds
of music, right, I know that,
557
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:17.039
But I can picture you back then
strictly metal, am I correct?
558
00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:22.159
Pretty much? So yeah, pretty
much yea. And classic rock was referred
559
00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:25.440
to back in the late seventy as
acid rock. You know with your arrowsmith
560
00:42:25.679 --> 00:42:30.480
right right. And you know I
had I had friends that were into nothing
561
00:42:30.840 --> 00:42:37.639
but listening to a power one oh
six, you know, and yeah,
562
00:42:37.679 --> 00:42:40.639
and well this is way before big
Boy. And then I also had friends
563
00:42:40.679 --> 00:42:46.039
that were listening only to rock.
In my case, I listened to everything.
564
00:42:46.320 --> 00:42:50.679
So my mixtape, as a matter
of fact, look what I got
565
00:42:50.679 --> 00:42:53.599
in front of me. Oh my
god, so I'm shoeing chang. What
566
00:42:54.480 --> 00:42:59.440
give me a two songs off of
one of the Well, yeah, absolutely,
567
00:42:59.679 --> 00:43:02.039
okay. You said something about Wham, right, So I got Everything
568
00:43:02.119 --> 00:43:09.119
She Wants by Wham, But I've
also got Living Inside Myself. Yeah,
569
00:43:09.119 --> 00:43:15.079
that was a bad song. Keep
On Loving You by Ario Speedwagon, Rosanna
570
00:43:15.199 --> 00:43:23.480
by Toto, Oh yep. And
then I got You Belonged to the City
571
00:43:23.519 --> 00:43:29.079
by Glenn Fry. That's just an
example. I remember that song you Belong
572
00:43:29.280 --> 00:43:34.559
to the City. But you know
what, most of the mixtape songs um
573
00:43:35.199 --> 00:43:37.360
Before I used to put the name
of the songs. Now I just create
574
00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:40.679
mixtapes and I don't put the songs. I just put the word mixtape and
575
00:43:40.719 --> 00:43:45.400
stick it to the back of the
cassette. You know what, when we
576
00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:50.159
are up and going, you need
to do a music show, just like
577
00:43:50.360 --> 00:43:55.639
Casey Cason of all the soft rock
smooth hits back into the eighties. And
578
00:43:55.679 --> 00:44:01.719
I think both of us should incorporate
a music show as a sister or a
579
00:44:01.800 --> 00:44:07.079
brother show to the No Frog podcast
back to the eighties, and both of
580
00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:14.960
us play different genres of eighties music. Therefore, when they are done and
581
00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:20.880
we release them from our stupidity of
talking, they can go listen to us
582
00:44:21.559 --> 00:44:27.199
musically and be captivated and take off
into their fantasy world of the eighties.
583
00:44:27.760 --> 00:44:32.840
What better way than to be carried
away with eighties love songs with nobody other
584
00:44:32.920 --> 00:44:39.519
than the Italian guru of love,
Mariot. But yeah, I gotta tell
585
00:44:39.559 --> 00:44:43.039
you, I mean, that's a
great idea. But I also listened to
586
00:44:43.639 --> 00:44:45.800
you know, I also listened to
some rap. I definitely listened to rock.
587
00:44:46.239 --> 00:44:50.800
I loved Van Halen and of course, you know, my favorite band
588
00:44:50.800 --> 00:44:53.480
of all time is you Two.
So I mean I listened to bands,
589
00:44:54.159 --> 00:44:59.079
and I loved hair bands, you
know, Twisted Sister, Cinderella, Poison.
590
00:44:59.360 --> 00:45:02.519
I love the bands, even Motley
Crue, Quiet Riot and things like
591
00:45:02.559 --> 00:45:06.840
that. So I was all all
across the board. You know, I
592
00:45:06.840 --> 00:45:09.440
could never just listen to one type
of music. Well, I think that's
593
00:45:09.480 --> 00:45:15.000
why we surprise. I surprise you
when we were playing our trivia with the
594
00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:20.920
music, and I really think that
I surprised you on some of the other
595
00:45:20.960 --> 00:45:24.119
bands that I knew that were not
hard rock or metal, right right,
596
00:45:25.199 --> 00:45:29.480
No, I will never admit in
a court of law that I sat there
597
00:45:29.480 --> 00:45:32.440
for hours listening to them and trying
to dance. But I had the incredible
598
00:45:32.440 --> 00:45:37.599
White Man Disease dance where I couldn't
catch a bet. I won't know what's
599
00:45:37.679 --> 00:45:42.920
record to admit that. You know
what's funny that most metal heads, most
600
00:45:43.039 --> 00:45:46.599
rockers, will never admit even though
I know they do, and they know
601
00:45:46.679 --> 00:45:52.960
they do listen to other stuff,
like, for example, Debbie Gibson and
602
00:45:52.119 --> 00:45:58.000
Paula Abduel, and you know,
Michael Jackson, you know, you know
603
00:45:58.199 --> 00:46:00.880
you're out there and you do listen
to them. You don't need to swear
604
00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:05.639
on a bible here in court,
but I know you do now. My
605
00:46:05.719 --> 00:46:10.360
wife resembled resembled Paula Abduel when I
first started wanting to date her really bad.
606
00:46:10.960 --> 00:46:14.639
And as a matter of fact,
two of my good buddies, they
607
00:46:14.639 --> 00:46:16.360
were heavy metal guys. Well you
know they had the hair, and I'm
608
00:46:16.360 --> 00:46:22.159
going to give you their names,
Henry Santos and Tony Fielding. Now these
609
00:46:22.159 --> 00:46:24.840
guys were my buddies, ride long
haired guys. But these guys would rather
610
00:46:24.920 --> 00:46:30.800
go dancing if they could, then
go to a metal gig. And we
611
00:46:30.920 --> 00:46:35.400
used to call these two dudes Millie
Vanilly because they had long hair. Then
612
00:46:35.440 --> 00:46:39.400
they would get into disco affarel and
drive around in my buddy Henry's iraq.
613
00:46:39.519 --> 00:46:43.800
Oh man, it was Millie Vanilli
all over the place. Bro. We
614
00:46:43.880 --> 00:46:45.800
used to call these guys silly Willie. Bro, That's what I called them,
615
00:46:45.880 --> 00:46:51.480
Hey, silly Willie Sam Duprie as
she said, riding her banana seat
616
00:46:51.719 --> 00:46:57.559
bikes, getting lost in the woods, eating French fries and real chocolate milkshakes
617
00:46:57.559 --> 00:47:01.400
at the local convenience store, waiting
all week for Saturday morning cartoons, being
618
00:47:01.400 --> 00:47:07.159
allowed to stay up late to watch
The Honeymooners with the parents. On Saturday
619
00:47:07.239 --> 00:47:10.519
nights, everyone was with friends and
everyone else, you know, monkey bars,
620
00:47:10.599 --> 00:47:15.920
jungle Gym's, fresh air, skin
knees, and dinner at the dinner
621
00:47:15.960 --> 00:47:21.119
table every night with the entire family
at five o'clock. You know what I
622
00:47:21.199 --> 00:47:25.639
missed back then? I miss watching
Saturday Night Live with Eddie Murphy and Joel
623
00:47:25.639 --> 00:47:30.039
Piscoball. Oh my goodness, can
you remember when they did this skit of
624
00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:35.440
Stevie Wonder and Frank Sinatra all that
thing. I was just going to bring
625
00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:37.280
that up, Stevie. What the
hell are we beating around the bush for?
626
00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:40.800
This is nineteen eighty two. Let's
get right to the point. Huh

00:47:40.800 --> 00:47:45.599

630
00:48:05.840 --> 00:48:13.880

633
00:48:28.760 --> 00:48:40.079
Let's not fight heaven men divers just
living in perfect We're talking salt and pepper.
634
00:48:43.679 --> 00:48:51.280
Stevie and me are pg king,

00:49:10.079 --> 00:49:14.920
our one of our biggest top fans, we have Jesse Reid who said skating
640
00:49:14.960 --> 00:49:17.159
parties were big, staying the night
with friends and playing Nintendo all night.
641
00:49:17.440 --> 00:49:21.840
Hey, who's that guy? Back? Your football games, home run games
642
00:49:21.840 --> 00:49:24.400
at the baseball fields, riding our
bikes to local store, getting candy,
643
00:49:24.519 --> 00:49:30.960
running around and playing outside from sun
up to sundown. So many great memories.
644
00:49:30.719 --> 00:49:35.920
And one of our top fans,
mister Steve Chavez, said, hey,
645
00:49:35.960 --> 00:49:38.079
who's that guy. I don't know, he sounds kind of interesting.
646
00:49:38.119 --> 00:49:42.480
He said. He used to go
to cruising with your boulevard from Atlantic to
647
00:49:42.719 --> 00:49:46.280
Pico Bridge, also up and down
Hollywood Boulevard. Sun said, Boulevard PC
648
00:49:46.880 --> 00:49:51.280
So call was a great place in
the eighties. That's how it was for
649
00:49:51.320 --> 00:49:53.719
you, right, pretty much,
So, Bro, I've always been one
650
00:49:53.800 --> 00:49:58.039
that likes to be among people.
For some reason. I could have been
651
00:49:58.039 --> 00:50:00.119
a politician, but I don't like
lying to p people. So I just
652
00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:06.039
like being out there with people,
meeting people, feeling different energies. My
653
00:50:06.159 --> 00:50:09.119
father always told me it's the only
way you're going to read people and understand
654
00:50:09.199 --> 00:50:14.719
what makes people tick and how the
real world is is put yourself out there
655
00:50:15.079 --> 00:50:17.719
whatever response you get, that's going
to tell you exactly what type of person
656
00:50:17.800 --> 00:50:21.760
that is. And then with your
own God and our knowledge, you will
657
00:50:21.800 --> 00:50:24.159
decide do I want to hang with
them or do I want to just bounce
658
00:50:24.519 --> 00:50:29.440
food for thought out there? I
agree. Let me tell you a funny
659
00:50:29.440 --> 00:50:34.119
story before we end the program today, when we talk about the things that
660
00:50:34.159 --> 00:50:37.920
we used to do. Sometimes things
that you know back then, Yes,
661
00:50:37.400 --> 00:50:39.599
we had a lot of fun,
but we also did a lot of things
662
00:50:39.599 --> 00:50:44.559
that could have got us really really
hurt. And yes, and I remember
663
00:50:44.599 --> 00:50:46.960
we used to play tag, all
right, We used to play tag with
664
00:50:47.000 --> 00:50:51.639
our bikes. So we played tag
with our bikes on top of the school
665
00:50:51.719 --> 00:50:55.639
roof. Oh yeah, good times. And yeah, and then we'd ghost
666
00:50:55.760 --> 00:51:00.199
ride our bikes off the roof,
which means basically we'd write really fast and
667
00:51:00.320 --> 00:51:02.719
let go of the bike and have
the bike just fall off the roof.
668
00:51:02.840 --> 00:51:06.880
Yeah, we used to do things
like that. But I remember, I'm
669
00:51:06.880 --> 00:51:10.280
a bit older, so my childhood
days on a bike and doing anything that
670
00:51:10.440 --> 00:51:15.480
was anything crazy was in the seventies, and we would call that the Evil
671
00:51:15.599 --> 00:51:21.119
kaneval experience. Yes, yes,
that's for another show. Some of the
672
00:51:21.199 --> 00:51:23.320
things that we used to do,
But then that's from the seventies, so
673
00:51:23.559 --> 00:51:29.039
yeah, And I remember putting a
mattress outside of our house and doing the
674
00:51:29.360 --> 00:51:35.480
ww F wrestling scenes, throwing ourselves
off the roof of the house. Great
675
00:51:35.519 --> 00:51:40.800
times. I remember seeing like some
of my partner's little brothers throwing each other
676
00:51:40.840 --> 00:51:45.039
on tables, jumping off the roof
on the tables. Insanity back then,
677
00:51:45.119 --> 00:51:51.440
brothers. Just the things that you
could do back then, there's no way
678
00:51:51.440 --> 00:51:53.639
you could do them. No,
no, you know, this is back
679
00:51:53.679 --> 00:51:58.719
to the eighties. And the main
reason we want to be here with you
680
00:51:58.760 --> 00:52:01.159
guys, and why we thank you
guys for taking your time to be with
681
00:52:01.239 --> 00:52:07.280
us, is because we are all
from around that era and we all went
682
00:52:07.280 --> 00:52:09.960
through very similar things. You know. I remember, you know Sam Dr
683
00:52:10.000 --> 00:52:15.079
Prest said eating French fries with real
chocolate milkshakes. I remember French fries and
684
00:52:15.159 --> 00:52:20.039
vanilla shakes, and those were to
die for back then. But we all
685
00:52:20.039 --> 00:52:24.280
shared very similar experiences, which means
we have a special bond between all of
686
00:52:24.360 --> 00:52:30.199
us, and now it's time that
we share this same bond with our family,
687
00:52:30.199 --> 00:52:35.679
with our kids, with this generation
that has no idea of what we
688
00:52:35.719 --> 00:52:38.440
were really like or what we went
through back then. So I'm going to
689
00:52:38.480 --> 00:52:44.400
invite you guys that this week share
something that you did in the eighties with
690
00:52:44.519 --> 00:52:49.039
the generation that needs to hear it. So from back to the eighties,
691
00:52:49.280 --> 00:52:52.400
this is Tiscano. Thanks a lot, be safe and we'll see you next
692
00:52:52.440 --> 00:52:57.159
week. God bless you guys.
