1
00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:18.960
Oh and nothing, but thanks for
joining us. This is back to the

2
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:22.879
eighties, just kind of on chang
here with you to my right, as

3
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:30.160
always is the uncomparable, ever so
wondrous man of a million illusions, the

4
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:34.759
chang. Thank you well everybody.
Yes, I am like a deodorant the

5
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:41.320
right guard. Sometimes I'm sure how
everybody doing out there in the covid environment.

6
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:45.679
Are you getting along keeping clean,
wearing your mask and keeping six feet

7
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:50.479
distance or have you lost your mind
completely and you're running around in a frenzy.

8
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:54.640
Welcome to back to the eighties,
Toscano. I was just thinking of

9
00:00:54.679 --> 00:01:00.920
you the other day as I was
putting on my spandex. What does that

10
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.679
got to do with me? I'm
surprised you weren't thinking of me when you

11
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:07.519
were putting on your booty socks.
Well, no, I wasn't. But

12
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:10.680
when my wife put hers on,
I thought, well, should I hit

13
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:15.200
her for a game of tennis?
Or is she going to impersonate Tscano tonight?

14
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.439
I wanted to know one thing,
Tscano, did you wear those ridiculous

15
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:23.040
socks in the eighties? And if
you did, do you still have some

16
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.879
of those little balls laying around?
And maybe you could make like ice cream

17
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:32.120
animals that you're seeing the kids do
these right with the little tiny eyes at

18
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:34.560
Yeah, I've seen him. Actually, my wife teaches her her children at

19
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.400
her school how to do all that
stuff. But no, I did not.

20
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.120
But what I can tell you what
though, I want to thank you

21
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:47.480
guys for joining us. Another week
that goes by without seeing the sunshine as

22
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:49.439
we used to. And you know, it's funny thing because now that we're

23
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:53.159
in lockdown, have you noticed that
even if you do go outside, it's

24
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:57.040
not as fun as it was before
for some reason. No, it's not.

25
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:04.000
But for the ever so beautiful Chang, It's always always an event when

26
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:09.639
I go outside, whether I'm under
the influence of something fantastic or if I

27
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:14.280
catch my own beauty out of a
reflection, I just have to look up

28
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:16.479
to the sky and say, hey, thanks for making me me. As

29
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:20.039
a matter of fact, when I
was enjoying myself just the other day to

30
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:25.879
Sconno, I thought of you.
I was looking on some well. I

31
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:30.000
was putting on my wife's spandix because
I thought maybe one of these days we

32
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:35.319
would go into character. And I
don't know if you remember, sometimes boys

33
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:40.960
wore spandix and leg warmers. Yeah, the end was a shock. Well,

34
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:46.280
speaking of shock, before we get
into any more any more shocks,

35
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:50.680
I want to take this opportunity to
invite you guys to listen to us every

36
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:53.520
single Friday. So listen to Discono
and Chang. Here. I'm back to

37
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:57.319
the eighties. We're on the entire
day, the entire week for you guys.

38
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.800
And we also want to announce that
we do have a phone number for

39
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:02.960
you guys to call in. All
right, everybody out there, you can

40
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:07.960
get a hold of us at the
area of seven one four three, eight

41
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:12.479
six, nine, seven nine seven. That number again to reach Taskano and

42
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:19.400
Chang is seven one four three,
eight six nine seven nine seven. And

43
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:23.520
remember, make it short and sweet, because that's the way mean Tuscano like

44
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:27.360
our midgets. Well, today we
have a fantastic program for you because we

45
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:31.639
want to talk about shows that made
the eighties great. So that's TV shows,

46
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:36.639
television shows of that era. Now, granted, not all the shows

47
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:40.599
were your favorites are my favorites,
but nevertheless, we're still gonna reminisce on

48
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:46.199
some of those. Let's go top
five shows each, Okay, so let's

49
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:51.520
do top five shows each, but
let's start with top shows that we hated

50
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:58.240
and five that we loved. Okay, I'm giddy to hear this list,

51
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.080
because you know me, I've got
my own two cents to drop into the

52
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:04.400
old cookie jar. Let me go
ahead and start it off. But I'm

53
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:06.800
gonna name, I'm gonna go out
there. I'm gonna cause a lot of

54
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:14.159
controversy and a lot of hate letters, probably most likely please My number one

55
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:18.160
show on my I Do not like
list started from nineteen eighty two and went

56
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:23.680
on to end in nineteen ninety three. I want to play you the intro

57
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:27.639
music to this television show. Okay, I think you can guess Chang.

58
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:29.959
What do you say? I'd say, go for it, and if I

59
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:33.959
don't know it, then I'll wing
it. Get it? Yeah, I

60
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:40.639
get it? All right? Well, here you go for today's trivia.

61
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:43.519
So this is the number one show
I could never get into. Here we

62
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:53.279
go in the world today. It
takes everything you've got. So the number

63
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:58.240
one show on my list of shows
I did not like its Cheers. I

64
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:00.959
can't believe you. I think you're
out of your and I think you're drinking

65
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.160
right now. What's the matter with
you? Were you a fan of Cheers.

66
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:08.040
Enjoy that television show. You were
a fan of Cheers, A big

67
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:11.120
fan. I watched it all the
way to the finale. As a matter

68
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:14.680
of fact, me and my homies
we would get together and drink low and

69
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:17.279
brawl beer, get stoned out of
our minds, and we would watch Cheers

70
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:21.399
like it was a religion. Dude, you can't beat the coach. You

71
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:27.319
can't beat Woody. Sam was an
animal. Diane was hot, Yeah,

72
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:32.000
and did very needy. Yeah.
Did you know that Cheers was named after

73
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:38.000
the toast Cheers in Boston. It's
a group. Yeah, It's a group

74
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:41.040
of locals where they meet to drink, relax, chat and half fun.

75
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:46.600
So it was actually a real place. Really. Yeah. Now let me

76
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.319
ask you this. Do you think
Marky Marked snuck in there with a fake

77
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:53.800
idea every now and then to get
into Cheers that he had norm Get him

78
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:56.399
some you know, get him a
beer outside. I don't know, maybe

79
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:59.519
Carla hit on him. Well,
if we know that, if we know

80
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:03.000
Mark Wahlberg, he probably thinks he
was cool enough to get in there.

81
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:09.279
And I love Mark Wahlberg. Now
did you enjoy him as Marky Mark?

82
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:14.519
Or do you like him as Mark
Wahlberg, the personality of the acting.

83
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:16.680
No, I like him in the
acting role. I like him in the

84
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.959
acting role. Yes, I like
him in the acting role. So go

85
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:25.560
ahead, and what was you one
of your choices for dislike on TV shows?

86
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:34.680
Oh, it has to go hands
down with the Facts of Life.

87
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:41.120
I could not stand that show.
That girl had eyebrows like Groucho Marx,

88
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:43.279
and it would just freak me out. I would be like, how does

89
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:46.160
she have blind here with black raucho
away eyebrows? I can't believe it.

90
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:50.800
I would get so freaked out that
I couldn't watch a March Brothers show ever.

91
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:55.439
So The Facts of Life, just
so you know, it came on

92
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:59.399
from nineteen seventy nine ended in nineteen
eighty eight, and it was it was

93
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:02.720
a spin off of Different Strokes.
Did you know that? Because they kind

94
00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:06.720
of lived That was another show I
disliked. I don't know about you,

95
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:12.480
but I had a very big problem. You gotta be kiddie. Come on,

96
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:15.199
don't tell me what I was going
to say. Yeah, I knew

97
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:17.399
exactly what you were going to say, And I can't believe you're going that

98
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:24.160
way because this was a great TV
show, a great team you're talking about.

99
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.480
That's right, but let's go back
to the facts of life, because

100
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:30.120
it was living the same universe as
different strokes. As a matter of fact,

101
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:34.160
that made some guests appearances on both
shows. If you remember, yes,

102
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:39.199
you're right. Do you know who
was on there? George freaking sexy

103
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:44.240
Clooney. George Clooney was on the
Factory in my long hair. I don't

104
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:46.040
remember. You can look it up. You can google that. Anybody listening

105
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:50.160
google it. You're going to see
a young, semi long haired, handsome

106
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:55.240
George Clooney. Here's what I do
remember a woman die. Here's what I

107
00:07:55.279 --> 00:08:00.279
do remember. I do remember Janet
Jackson being on the show. Oh yes,

108
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:03.600
do you remember that? Right?
Yes? Right? Yeah, all

109
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:09.600
right. So for so for my
show number two, Show number two,

110
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.319
like I said, people are gonna
probably hate me, but it's just it

111
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:20.000
wasn't my bag of chips. Okay. So show number two was the show

112
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:26.160
none other than Dallas from nineteen seventy
eighteen nineteen ninety one on CBS. It

113
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:31.759
revolved around the Ewings, you know, the Texas family oil cattle ranching industries,

114
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:35.039
and it won a bunch of awards. So it was a big thing

115
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.879
for adults. I guess that's why
I didn't like it, because it was

116
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.919
something for adults and it was just
too serious for me, you know it

117
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:46.360
was. I have to tell you, my sister used to watch Dallas.

118
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:48.480
A lot of people in my neighborhood
used to watch Dust. Now, the

119
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.320
thing that intrigued me the most about
that show is the hot chicks. Come

120
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:56.840
on, I'm along here, kid, teenager hot chicks. That's courts that.

121
00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:00.440
That was the only reason I ever
asked my sister to tape it,

122
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:03.360
because I wanted to see who looked
hotter in that show? Was it Mary

123
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:09.360
Ellen? Was it a little blonde
girl I believe her name was Charlene Chilton

124
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:15.879
or was it Victoria Principal? Because
at any given moment, one of those

125
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:20.320
chicks looked hot. Now I remember
the other girl. She was the daughter

126
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:26.600
of his name his name, oh, being Crosby's daughter. She was also

127
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:33.279
in that. I think her name
is Tian something I could be corrected.

128
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:35.759
Yeah, I had no idea.
It was all the hot chicks. I

129
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.840
had no idea. So what was
another one of your disliked shows? We're

130
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:41.600
on number what is it? Number
three? Yeah, I have to go

131
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:48.279
probably with H Three's company. Oh
you have got to be kidding. That's

132
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:50.679
my favorite show of all time.
And I just blurted it out right now.

133
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:52.799
I should have kept it a secret. Now, you see, you

134
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:56.600
blew your own God right there.
You might as well just come clean.

135
00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:01.759
You have got to be yan Jack
fan. I was a Jack Tripper fan

136
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:07.320
all the way, all the way, okay now, And it was just

137
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:11.799
the Ropers or did do you like
like furl I liked them, mister Furley.

138
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:15.240
I liked them both, but so
so that was a show you'd really

139
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:18.960
dislike. What was your reason for
it? I just it was always to

140
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:20.720
me the same old thing. You
know. Jack wasn't going to get in

141
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:24.080
the sack with either of the h
He's. As a matter of fact,

142
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:28.279
Janet was my most favorite. As
a matter of fact, missus Chang resembles

143
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:31.399
her when I started dating her.
But that's another story. And uh,

144
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:37.559
you know, I used to enjoy
Jack for his physical comedy, but mister

145
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:39.240
Furley, I always thought he was
maybe a little bit of a fruitcake,

146
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:43.360
get of a prude. I used
to like the Ropers. They were a

147
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:48.799
good, clean, married couple,
but Larry got on my nerves. The

148
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.360
Regal Beagle got on my nerves because
anoka my door. I don't want to

149
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:54.960
knock on the door. If if
they were knocking on my door toisconno,

150
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:58.039
I wouldn't answer. I jump out
the window and get the hell out of

151
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.960
Michael. All right. The number
there you for me will be Hill Street

152
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:09.600
Blues. It came on from nineteen
eighty one and it ended only six years

153
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:13.080
later, and it was all on
NBC. And if you don't remember or

154
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:18.000
don't know, it was a police
drama and it was it chronicled the lives

155
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:22.799
of the staff and of a single
police precinct. So it was just too

156
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:26.080
boring for me. And then that
that intro song. I couldn't stand it.

157
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:31.559
Oh yeah, the intro song was
kind of lame. It kind of

158
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:33.639
like put you to sleep. But
I have to tell you that was one

159
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:35.799
of my favorite shows. Now,
of course some of you know and some

160
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:39.960
people don't. I grew up in
the hood. I'm used to cop action.

161
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:43.399
I'm used to things going down in
the lobble brawl in the hood.

162
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:46.519
You know, the hole day,
I mean to go to the hole day,

163
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:48.840
you have to go to the big
house. You know, here comes

164
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:54.080
the fuzz the block out the Police, the Man. So I always was

165
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:58.080
intrigued seeing that I grew up seeing
one side of the police, so it

166
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:01.000
was interested to see a TV show
that kind of showed another side but yet

167
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.960
still give you the nitty gritty of
what cop to do out there and why

168
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:07.559
they do it, and every now
and then you had a bad cop in

169
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:09.559
there. So it was kind of
cool. Kind of opened the doors for

170
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:16.159
shoe shows like The south Land and
then of course my favorite of the Shield.

171
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:20.360
So I was always I was into
that show. You were my favorite

172
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:26.240
name name another one. We're on
number four here, so number four most

173
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:33.720
disliked show knots Landing. Oh I
have to agree with you there, Yes,

174
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:37.639
yes, I forgot about that show. Yeah, that show was just

175
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.519
boring, just rich people living in
niculta set gives a heck, you know

176
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:46.519
what I'm saying. Wrong. Those
people were in my neighborhood in south side

177
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:50.320
Monty Vale. We would have rolled
them, bro, We would have just

178
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:52.440
opened up their door and took some
of their nice furniture, maybe ate some

179
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:56.240
of their I don't know if some
fruit seller, because they looked like they

180
00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:58.759
used to be the barbecue tide.
You know what I mean, but they

181
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:01.919
were just like two Paul Yester.
For me, there was no action.

182
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:05.440
It was only neighborhood action. You
know, we drama action. Well,

183
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:09.320
why is here at home action?
Number four on my list of most disliked

184
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:13.120
shows earned it's only five years and
they had a short run. It was

185
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:18.279
only five years. They were on
ABC and NBC nineteen seventy eight to nineteen

186
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:20.440
eighty two. And although I was
very little when this show used to come

187
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:24.120
out, but whenever I used to
hear the theme music, I knew it

188
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:28.639
was tending to change the channel.
And that was taxi, you remember,

189
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:31.399
yeah, Taxi. I have to
catch myself from falling on the floor.

190
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:39.240
Hold on, thank thank you very
much, Thank you very much. Louie,

191
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.399
Louie, you know that the first
time I saw Doc Brown, he

192
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:48.240
was like the bummed there was always
asleep at the taxi station. Oh dude,

193
00:13:48.320 --> 00:14:00.600
Jim, yeah him, Louis,
look at that. That is the

194
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:03.080
show that I That's awesome. That's
number four on my list. It's not

195
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:07.559
you know, I kind of went
backwards. But number five would be the

196
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:09.799
worst of all time for me.
But what's number four for you? That

197
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:20.759
would be that dumb little muppet named
elf El. Yeah, yeah, Alf,

198
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:24.039
Yeah that show. Yeah, that's
another one that if we had like

199
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:26.639
a top ten list, that would
have never aired if I was an executive.

200
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:30.320
Yeah, oh you know what,
if I would have been in the

201
00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:33.919
audience, bro, I would have
probably ran on stage and grabbed that puppet

202
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:35.799
and cut it up with my switchblade
in my pocket. I mean that show

203
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:41.039
was ridiculous, but you know what, it had such a large following,

204
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:46.360
such a large large follow and uh
and I think I think those people were

205
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:52.399
lost in confusion. I think that
was taken over by the alcoholic parent syndrome.

206
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:56.399
I think parents would sit at home
and spend family time and knock back

207
00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:58.960
cocktails and then sit there with their
children and make them forced watch a show

208
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:05.559
or an actual puppet once a sock
with fur on it became the lead character

209
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:09.919
in a show. And it's interesting
it only lasted five years as well,

210
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:13.679
it only lasted five years and it
was a show. Yeah, and it

211
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:20.399
was a show about a friendly et
about a friendly extraterrestrial named Alf who crash

212
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:28.360
landed in a garage and landed with
the Tanner family. Yes, so Alf,

213
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:31.919
all right? So going on to
number five, which means it's my

214
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:37.799
worst worst TV show or the most
disliked in my book. It was from

215
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:41.799
Now, this was a long show. I'm just glad it was when I

216
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:46.480
was very little, but it was
from nineteen seventy two to nineteen eighty three.

217
00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:48.879
Now, let me give you a
little bit of background on this program,

218
00:15:50.279 --> 00:16:03.039
because whenever I hear even today and
I hear that theme music, I

219
00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:07.840
will literally change it. I don't
care. It's the worst thing I have

220
00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:14.360
ever experienced as a kid because I
was just bored of it. I didn't

221
00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:18.879
find it exciting at all. See
if you can guess it, it was

222
00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:25.919
a medical military comedy that followed a
team of doctors to support a staff station

223
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:33.279
in a surgical hospital in South Korea. Now I know exactly that show,

224
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:36.279
and I grew up watching that show
with my dad and my mom. See

225
00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:38.720
that my dad. My dad was
a Korean war vis so that was one

226
00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:42.799
of his favorite comedies. And did
you understand how he would find nostalgia and

227
00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:48.960
humor. Yeah, in a war
where you know, he did three tours

228
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:52.080
and killed a lot of people and
became a tank commander. He was a

229
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:55.120
ranger, I mean, but I
guess he had some fond memories, So

230
00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:56.960
I would salute him on that one
if he was sitting here right next to

231
00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:00.279
me. Yeah. But you know
what's interesting, Mash, What what about

232
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:04.440
Mass? Did you not like everything? I thought it was just boring.

233
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:10.039
But like I said, from the
initial soundtrack from the original, from the

234
00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:15.119
original music, you know, Mash, the theme song featured an instrumental version

235
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:21.400
of the song Yes it's called Suicide
Is Painless, which also appears in the

236
00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:25.720
original film. So it was just
everything, Bro. I just think that

237
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:30.720
I wasn't ready. I was just
too much of a kid involved in fantasy

238
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:34.160
and things like that, and I
wanted I wanted really really funny stuff,

239
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:42.319
and well, you know, I
was really attracted to Three's Company, etcetera,

240
00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:47.720
etcetera. But we'll leave that for
the liked section. So that's my

241
00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:52.640
top five. What about your fifth
one? Which one is your most TV

242
00:17:52.759 --> 00:18:02.559
show? Most favorite? Hated show? Had to be You're Gonna You're Gonna

243
00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:07.599
Laugh. Many children, many generations
of young girls and children alike, used

244
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:11.880
to watch this show, and the
disappointing part of that show is that they

245
00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:15.480
had one sexy rocker guy who was
kind of like the eighties Elvis Presley.

246
00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:25.279
You had two in Bob Baggett and
gave Kolier. You had that snobby girl

247
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:30.920
that became you know, his wife
who is currently looking at prison. And

248
00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:36.200
then you had the blond guy who
used to come out, I believe in

249
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:42.279
in another TV show, uh,
doing little voices that sounded like Jack Chingbadaban.

250
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:48.000
You remember that. Yeah, I'm
talking about Dave Cooley the other Yep.

251
00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:52.240
He used to do a bunch of
different cartoon voices. Yeah, he

252
00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:57.640
was always doing it. Look at
me that I mean? Yeah, dude,

253
00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:00.759
he was. He was known at
that time for the man of any

254
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:03.240
many voices, which I mean,
dude, it got him a TV show,

255
00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:07.440
It did, dude. That show
just there was just no way.

256
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:11.160
I couldn't stand it, you know
what I'm saying. And then either one

257
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:12.599
of the twins that you put up
there, they don't have any lines.

258
00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:17.319
This is boring, you know what
I'm saying. It was, It was,

259
00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:19.759
and you know what the sad thing
in the Chang household when my girls

260
00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:23.480
were growing up, they used to
watch it all the time. Of course

261
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:29.079
every night that it was on us
and me, being the good loving father

262
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:30.839
that I was, I would have
to sit there and watch it. Now

263
00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:36.039
now, missus Chang would get angry
because I would do my stand up material

264
00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:38.599
making fun of the show as the
show was going on, and I was

265
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:45.200
entertaining my daughters with my humoristic comments. At the same time, I was

266
00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:48.359
just in the show. It was
great fun. All right, stick around

267
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:51.519
here back to the eighties. When
we come back, we're going to do

268
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:56.960
top five most favorite like TV shows
of the decade of Excess. It's going

Welcome back to to Stano and Chang.

277
00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:48.279
Back to the eighties. It is
the ever still loving and beautiful manned in

278
00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:55.319
his own illusion to Chang. Now
we're talking about our worst hated TV shows.

279
00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:57.079
We went top five a piece.
Now we're going to start off with

280
00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:03.720
our top five shows or liked shows, and me, being the ever so

281
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:07.720
wondrous Chang, I thought I would
take the helm now, Ti Sconnell.

282
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:12.599
Yeah, my number one show is
in your top five hated shows? Are

283
00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:15.200
you ready? I'm ready. I
know there's no drum roll right now,

284
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:18.319
but I'll give mine. Oh there's
a drumb roll. Drum roll, believe

285
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:25.759
it nice? You know that would
have to be Hill Street Blues in your

286
00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:30.279
base, in your face. Oh
my gosh, that's right. That's right.

287
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:33.039
I said it. I make no
qualm about it. Great show,

288
00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:40.759
Hill Street Blues. Okay, all
right, Hill Street Blues my number one.

289
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:42.960
But we're going to tell you why. No, already, you're ready

290
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:47.079
explained your hate. Yeah, that's
right. So let me tell you my

291
00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:48.799
number one. Although we're going backwards, the number five is really in our

292
00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:53.599
number one. So number five on
my list of most like TV shows.

293
00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:56.839
Here you go. It's a show
that ran from nineteen eighty four to nineteen

294
00:21:56.839 --> 00:22:00.039
eighty nine. And this one was
actually a I'm drama, so, believe

295
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:04.279
it or not, I did like
dramas and it was running for only five

296
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:11.480
five seasons, but it starred the
ever so wondrous Don Johnson and Philip Michael

297
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:21.799
Thomas as Sunny Kroc and Ricardo Rico
Tubbs in Miami Vice. You know,

298
00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:25.359
the very first time I met you, I knew you were I knew you're

299
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:30.200
gonna say that, you're gonna do
that you read of Miami Beach one.

300
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:34.559
I'm sorry. I thought he was
this guy as an FBI agent or a

301
00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:38.319
stunt double for Miami Vice. That's
what I thought. And then I heard

302
00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:41.400
your incredible voice, and I said, no, so that's not that guy.

303
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:45.680
Doesn't surprise you? Then yes,
because when I heard your voice,

304
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:49.519
I knew that you were doing a
cover for jose Feliciano in Local Bars.

305
00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:55.519
You know. The interesting thing is
that in that show, the one person

306
00:22:55.599 --> 00:23:00.240
I didn't like was the chief Well
we all know James James almost. I

307
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:06.000
didn't like him because he was so
monotone in Why didn't you see him off

308
00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:07.759
the area even if you wanted to
it, I don't think you could.

309
00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:11.359
When I watched that show twice,
it was like I seen him when he

310
00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:17.240
portrayed Alachuco and zootsu I went down
to the March Tabor Theater with my mom.

311
00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:19.400
I think it was a bike.
Maybe Between the ages of thirteen and

312
00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:22.599
fifteen, I was already growing up
kind of radical, you know what I

313
00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:26.160
mean. I'm not in a bad
way, more of a civil rights good

314
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:30.119
way, you know. But I
had a lot of corners. So when

315
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.119
I first seen him on that show, I kept picturing him at zoot Suit

316
00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:37.759
or does it say, yeah,
he avous to see every Vato to put

317
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:41.119
on the zootsu He went all the
opposite in Miami Vice because he was,

318
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:47.960
you know, accent less, but
he kept that monotone voice. They always

319
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:51.400
like this, Yeah, I want
you guys to go out there and get

320
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:55.279
him and don't come back to bring
him back. It was always yeah,

321
00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:59.240
monotone but dramatic. A Mexican grandpa, that's what he was like. There

322
00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:02.519
was a severe explosion at the tortilla
factory, and I need you to go

323
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:07.039
with Sonny and pick up all the
unburnt tortillas and bring him back here to

324
00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:12.319
the station. Their evidence that nails
him. Now I've got a fun stack

325
00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:18.200
for you. Yeah. He graduated
from my alma mater in Muntival. He

326
00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:23.200
attended Montabello High School and graduated the
same year my sister did. He is

327
00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:29.920
also the brother of a good friend
of mine, Jamie Santillion, who is

328
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:33.680
an r N right now on the
front line battle in the COVID. She

329
00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:37.920
transpired the disease. She's home now, she's better. So thanks be to

330
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:42.039
God on that one. Oh wow. So I remember seeing almost around every

331
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:45.799
now and then in Montabello as I
was growing up. Yeah, Edward James.

332
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:49.240
Almost all right, So what about
you, mister Chang, what is

333
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:55.880
your second most favorite show? I
would have to go to the ever so

334
00:24:56.039 --> 00:25:00.599
brilliant, my idol, the man
that I emanate when I do stand up

335
00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:03.039
comedy, because I think on a
dime, I improved with the best of

336
00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:10.559
them. I am like a gun
shooting up jokes. Would have to be

337
00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:15.759
more than Mindy, Robin Williams rest
or soul, your master. You know

338
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:19.160
what. And I'm not even gonna
say my next one because it was exactly

339
00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:23.440
that. Mork and Mindy nineteen seventy
eight to nineteen eighty two, the science

340
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:29.680
fiction sitcom. It was on ABC
until nineteen eighty two, and it was

341
00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:33.400
Robin Williams's mark. For those of
you who who never saw it, it

342
00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:37.079
was about an alien who came to
Earth from planet Orc in a small,

343
00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:44.839
one man egg shaped spaceship, and
he landed in a place and met a

344
00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:48.119
young lady by the name of Pam
Dauber Mindy McConnell, of course, yes,

345
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:53.160
And what was great about a Yeah, and there were a Boulder Colorado.

346
00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:56.279
I think that's what it was,
Boulder Colorado. You're a stand I

347
00:25:56.440 --> 00:26:02.640
stand corrected, Boulder Colorado. And
one of my favorite shows from Markan Mindy,

348
00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:06.039
believe it or not, was when
they had a kid. Remember they

349
00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:08.279
ended up having a kid, and
the kid came in an egg and the

350
00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:15.599
kid was actually an older comedian by
the name of Jonathan Winters. Yes,

351
00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:21.799
now you know he personally asked Jonathan
Winters to portray that character because Jonathan Winters

352
00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:26.240
was his idol and mentor when he
dove into being a stand up comic when

353
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:30.839
he was attending the school to become
an actor. Isn't that interesting? Yeah?

354
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:37.440
I always thought they kind of had
a lot of similarities. Robin Williams

355
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:42.240
was a little bit more raw and
free with his act his material. Yeah,

356
00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:45.880
Jonathan, Yeah, well, away
from this microphone, I talked like

357
00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:49.440
a sailor. Correct, Yeah,
correct, yes, so we're kind of

358
00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:53.720
dawn boy, we're holding you down
right now. Jonathan Winters was always a

359
00:26:53.759 --> 00:26:57.400
clean, old fashioned comedian, but
just like quick, that dude could think

360
00:26:57.440 --> 00:27:00.759
on his feet. You know,
you could give that guy a scene and

361
00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:04.640
he's going to create his whole dialogue. I think that Robin Williams did the

362
00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:08.319
same thing. So that was one
of the high points of that TV show.

363
00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:11.559
Do you know who else I thought
was funny? Remember his his?

364
00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:15.640
Uh that guy that used to come
down with a crazy black hair that had

365
00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:21.240
hair like alfalfa. Oh my god, forgot his name. Yeah, but

366
00:27:21.359 --> 00:27:26.400
he was always very stern and he
looked kind of crazy. So number two

367
00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:29.240
or number four, whichever way you
want to look at it for my favorite

368
00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:32.920
TV shows was a show that came
out of from nineteen eighty three, very

369
00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:38.000
very short seasons, okay, and
it was a comedy drama. Comedy drama

370
00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:48.599
about a flying crime fighter. To
me, oh no, that's right,

371
00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:53.079
the greatest American hero that Yeah,
I forgot about that show. I would

372
00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:56.279
have put it in my top hated
list. Yeah. Well, of course

373
00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:00.000
it only lasted three years, so
they had a very short run. I

374
00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:04.720
can see why I tried watching it
the other day on YouTube, and uh,

375
00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:07.960
I can see why, but they
had one one or two and you

376
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:11.799
know what, I think they were
trying to make a remake of this for

377
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:15.000
today, believe it or not,
no pun intended. I would have to

378
00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:19.119
go with a show that started in
the seventies and I watched it in eighth

379
00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:25.160
grade and I carried on with it. That would have to be The Incredible

380
00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:30.640
Hulk with Lou for Rigno and the
Courtship of Eddie's father. Yes, you'll

381
00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:33.160
remember Bill Bixby's a great Bill Bixby. That guy was so when I was

382
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:36.880
a kid, I thought, man, if I could look like Bill Bixby,

383
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:41.119
absolutely the next hottest actor. Yeah
that's right. But instead I came

384
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:45.680
out looking like Chim Chin. Actually, Chang, you're a mix between Cheech

385
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:51.759
and Chong and a pro WWF wrestler. Yes, well, you know what

386
00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:55.359
this is. One time, this
guy Charles Sanchez brought me out when I

387
00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:57.000
was doing stand up. He goes, this is what you get if Cheech

388
00:28:57.039 --> 00:29:00.559
and Chong could have a baby,
you get to Chang. And I always

389
00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:03.640
I always saw it, well,
you know, that's pretty funny, but

390
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:07.000
I had to slapped about there for
saying that. But that was aw that's

391
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:10.079
awesome. That's that's kind of oh, I kind of am I guess you

392
00:29:10.119 --> 00:29:11.960
know what I mean growing up where
I did. Yeah, it's kind of

393
00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:17.359
true. I mean, who knows, I could create my own character Chang

394
00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:23.599
and Ching, you could be ching. Actually number one here is number one.

395
00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:27.400
You gotta choose that make account to
the number one show on your most

396
00:29:27.839 --> 00:29:33.240
liked of programs. Number one.
Okay, I'm gonna let you go first.

397
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:41.319
You're ready, Yep, it's corny
Monday Nights Football. Oh my gosh,

398
00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:45.799
that wasn't a sitcom. That that
wasn't a TV show? You at

399
00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:49.440
Howard Coussell. Don Meredith, come
on, how could you not laugh?

400
00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:59.759
I'm going to give to the greatest
football player of the Deccade sporting number nineteen

401
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:03.519
started with a bout of a coat, mister Johnny, you want that's pretty

402
00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:07.119
good? To was fun? Hey, pretty good? You gotta remember,

403
00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:14.200
Don Meredith, yea amos, don't
let your babies grow up to the cab

404
00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:19.720
boy. Remember that. You want
my favorite sitcom, your favorite is going

405
00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:23.599
to have to take. I have
to take another one off your hate list.

406
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:27.440
And this was one of my favorite
shows. It's got to be your

407
00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:34.680
favorite. You have it Taxi Gosh, yes, I I like Taxi just

408
00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:38.000
about. Oh I forgot about Cheers. I could well Cheers is in my

409
00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:42.559
top ten. But sometimes Taxi was
just hilarious, bro, because you never

410
00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:45.880
knew what Jim mc natowski would do, what Louis was going to do,

411
00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:49.240
with Tony Danzel was going to do. And then you have the ever so

412
00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:55.759
hot, gorgeous Mary lou Henner.
Oh, Peter Patter went my feet.

413
00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:59.519
But dude, I mean you had
the late great Andy Coffin. Bro,

414
00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:02.559
what can you say about Andy Kaufman. A lot of people didn't like Andy

415
00:31:02.599 --> 00:31:04.880
kaufman style, but I think you
have to understand the way the dude was

416
00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:07.559
to like his style, and I
think that was one of the problems that

417
00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:11.039
not a lot of people understood how
he was. Yeah, but he was

418
00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:15.039
an odd character dress his soul.
Yeah, I thought he was funny.

419
00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:18.720
Number one on my lists ran from
nineteen seventy nineteen nineteen eighty five one of

420
00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:22.920
the most iconic TV theme songs of
all time, and it was a country

421
00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:38.400
song. Just a good old board
never means old. You never saw trouble

422
00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:45.119
all right, whyl and Jennings saying
this, and granted I never liked the

423
00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:52.839
country, but when this show came
on with that orange charger to generally oh,

424
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:56.200
now that show was. That was
a trippy show, you know what

425
00:31:56.240 --> 00:32:00.759
I mean. You had them boys, you know, and uh I mean

426
00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:05.640
Daisy Duke, Lord Have Mercy.
Yeah, yeah, well there was there

427
00:32:05.720 --> 00:32:07.720
was Roscoe, who I thought was
the funniest of the of the police.

428
00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:14.240
And then you had boss Hog.
Yeah, ye had boss Hog. You

429
00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:19.240
had Bow and Luke Duke and Uncle
Jo Luke so and then you had what

430
00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:22.839
was the name of the cousin,
Skeeter, Skeeter, that's right, Skeeter.

431
00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:24.559
You I can't believe you remembered that. I couldn't remember that. Oh

432
00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:29.880
bro, I got a mind for
the eighties that only you and I can

433
00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:32.319
unlock the box of the eighties memories
that I have in my head. That's

434
00:32:32.359 --> 00:32:36.319
why I think this show is perfect
for us, you know what I mean.

435
00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:38.359
I remember so many things, and
now take it. I am a

436
00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:42.920
rock and roller kind of dude,
and I did partake in getting down on

437
00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:47.599
the party atmosphere, but I do
have a bear lock trap mind when it

438
00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:52.799
comes to any kind of nostalgia or
stupidity from the eighties that you do,

439
00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:55.359
my friend. And on that note, we're going to take a small break

440
00:32:55.559 --> 00:33:00.640
when we come back. There's more
of this nonsense. I can't remind you

Station two. Welcome Back to the eighties.

450
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:49.440
This is Tisconoman Chang with you.
This is the part of the show

451
00:33:49.759 --> 00:33:53.200
where we take a moment and reflect
on those things that made us angry in

452
00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:59.200
the eighties, And in honor of
the most wondrous Chang, we've baptized them

453
00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:05.119
as Changers. Number five on my
list of changers back in the eighties were

454
00:34:05.559 --> 00:34:10.719
guys when they wore shoes with no
socks. Oh man, brother, can

455
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:15.920
you imagine what that shoes snow like
for nine hours of walking around? No?

456
00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:19.519
No, no, no, no, no. Even what used to

457
00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:22.719
get me changry back in the eighties? What was that? Who was dudes

458
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:28.599
that used to roll up their barbershop
looking shirts and they every now and then

459
00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:31.119
you would see these dudes with these
big muscles, and they would have those

460
00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:36.079
barbershop quartets of beat shirts. Yeah, old read the board blue, the

461
00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:37.920
bold blue. Remember those? I
bet you had a few of those.

462
00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:42.320
I'm not gonna answer you every what
used to get me changry? Because I

463
00:34:42.400 --> 00:34:45.400
used to ask those fools all the
time, Hey, sing me a barbershop

464
00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:49.760
quartet song, and they would get
so pissed off they would turn into the

465
00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:52.880
hole with their big muscles. Ron, pop those sleeves and pop those buttons.

466
00:34:53.159 --> 00:34:55.480
You know what I'm talking about.
You had some guns in those things.

467
00:34:55.559 --> 00:34:58.960
Anyways, those shirts you used to
get me changry? Did those?

468
00:34:58.960 --> 00:35:02.280
Are those pretty muscle in the dude? Number three? Number three of the

469
00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:06.719
things that got me changery back in
the eighties, or school lockers with the

470
00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:13.320
locks that never worked properly. Oh
man, you remember that. Your day's

471
00:35:13.320 --> 00:35:15.880
at school, you're going in late. You try to open your locker and

472
00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:21.119
it wouldn't open. It doesn't up, you know exactly. And they used

473
00:35:21.159 --> 00:35:23.960
to get mad and used to hit
the lock and nothing would happen, and

474
00:35:23.960 --> 00:35:27.800
they used to just bang on it, and finally you'd give up and here

475
00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:30.639
came somebody else to help you out. They did it on the first try,

476
00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:31.559
and you go, wait, oh, did you do that? You

477
00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:35.920
remember? Sometimes it would get stuck
on the bottom and only the top.

478
00:35:36.280 --> 00:35:42.440
Yeah, and then sometimes you'd get
it stuck. But you used to get

479
00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:45.679
it stuck on the top and then
you couldn't lock it. Remember that?

480
00:35:45.920 --> 00:35:51.440
Oh man? Yeah, you're you're
trying to shove the lock in there and

481
00:35:51.480 --> 00:35:57.760
it doesn't close all the way,
and you're like, roll. You know

482
00:35:57.800 --> 00:36:00.800
what used to get me changry back
in the eighties? Role what's that?

483
00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:07.519
Penny loafers? Bro I couldn't loafers
at one point when I used to break

484
00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:09.199
down, so I used to have
penny loafers to do the moon Watch?

485
00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:15.280
Were you okay? You just said
something? Okay, What's what's next for

486
00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:22.159
you? Gremlin was a car before
the Before I had met the Gremlin firsthand,

487
00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:25.280
I hated the four to Pinto,
But when the Gremlin came around,

488
00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:29.960
I was like, I tipped my
hat off to you car. You are

489
00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:34.800
the ugliest thing my eyes have ever
seen. The Gremlin used to look like

490
00:36:34.800 --> 00:36:37.559
a midget grasshopper, you know what
I mean? And the wings ripped up

491
00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:40.239
and that was now trip out in
this. My homie, my buddy Ruben

492
00:36:40.679 --> 00:36:44.960
Castro, he had a Gremlin like
that when we're in high school. And

493
00:36:45.119 --> 00:36:46.360
you know, he used to show
up that all the rock and roll parties,

494
00:36:46.360 --> 00:36:49.920
all the all the metal parties that
I used to go to the punker

495
00:36:49.960 --> 00:36:54.599
party and he would open the back
of his Gremlin role and it was an

496
00:36:54.599 --> 00:36:58.840
open bar. It was amazing,
dude, that some dude like that in

497
00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:02.239
ninth grade could get a nig's drink
of any kind from a tenth grader.

498
00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:06.480
Oh man, did I love the
eighties. But anyway, he had a

499
00:37:06.519 --> 00:37:08.360
Grimlin and I used to make fun
of that car all the time. What

500
00:37:08.400 --> 00:37:10.480
do you do? What are you
doing with that insect? You know?

501
00:37:10.559 --> 00:37:14.159
But sometimes, man, that grounds
and got me to some concerts. Bro

502
00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:19.440
God bless gremlins. What's your what's
your next one? Before we get to

503
00:37:19.480 --> 00:37:23.719
the top kangry. You know what
gets me changry about the eighties roll breakdancers

504
00:37:23.719 --> 00:37:29.599
and breakdancers. They were my metal
man. When they used to put the

505
00:37:29.639 --> 00:37:31.679
metal studs with a black leather.
I used to want to go there and

506
00:37:31.719 --> 00:37:35.559
spin one of those fools in the
middle of the street of the cardboard like

507
00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:38.440
a top rolls, to spin them
around to the vomits all over. I

508
00:37:38.480 --> 00:37:42.840
used to Oh my god, those
break dancers. Yeah, I always got

509
00:37:42.840 --> 00:37:45.840
me changers, especially if they wore
penny loafers with the actual penny inside.

510
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:50.239
Remember that. Yes, yes,
dude, that was ridiculous. Why didn't

511
00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:52.679
they put Nichols and Nichols are shiner, bro, Hey, don't make fun

512
00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:55.360
of me, man. I got
my I got my penny loafers at Kinney's

513
00:37:55.360 --> 00:38:00.559
shoes. Okay, oh kitty shoes. That's a throwback right there, brother

514
00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:05.760
there, you remember the shoes Hush
puppies roll? Yes? Absolutely, Oh

515
00:38:05.800 --> 00:38:07.960
my god. All right. So
number two on the list of things that

516
00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:14.719
got me changry. TV dinners that
were still cold in the middle, especially

517
00:38:14.719 --> 00:38:19.000
when my dad used to get that
Salisbury steak. Yes, and before we

518
00:38:19.039 --> 00:38:22.239
didn't have a microwave oven in the
very early early eighties. We didn't have

519
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:24.480
a microwave, so we put it
in the oven and then you take it

520
00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:29.079
out too soon because you were hungry, and the middle was still literally a

521
00:38:29.119 --> 00:38:32.400
little piece of ice. Oh,
I remember that, bro. You know

522
00:38:32.440 --> 00:38:35.679
what he used to get me changary
in the eighties. Bro, when I

523
00:38:35.679 --> 00:38:37.480
would put my quarter in a video
game, Bro, and I wouldn't get

524
00:38:37.559 --> 00:38:40.280
played, and then that thing would
eat up my quarter and of kicking a

525
00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:44.119
banging, and then I get thrown
out of the arcade. That now he's

526
00:38:44.119 --> 00:38:45.639
got me changary, Bro. I
got ripped off for a lot of quarters.

527
00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:47.719
Bro. I was a changry kid. BRO. When I used to

528
00:38:47.760 --> 00:38:52.000
go to the arcade with a roll
of quarters that's forty quarters or ten dollars,

529
00:38:53.039 --> 00:38:58.159
and half of those the machine would
suck it up. Oh dude,

530
00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:00.639
yes, and it was money.
Never get didn't attendant? Then an attendants

531
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:04.679
not going to believe some teenager.
No, those attendants were only a little

532
00:39:04.719 --> 00:39:06.920
bit older than us. They were
just pissed off because they had a bunch

533
00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:08.239
job and they couldn't go to the
drive in and drink beer and scam on

534
00:39:08.360 --> 00:39:14.000
chicks and the most the most hilarious
thing is when you were looking around to

535
00:39:14.039 --> 00:39:19.280
see that there was no attendant looking. You start kicking them expecting it to

536
00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:24.320
deliver the goods and it didn't do
nothing. Oh. I remember getting so

537
00:39:24.400 --> 00:39:28.440
pissed up and slamming the pin balls
and then it would be tilt and then

538
00:39:28.480 --> 00:39:30.000
I would lose both my quarters in
my free games, and I would walk

539
00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:34.360
around that whole place changry. I
just wanted to bounce on somebody with my

540
00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:37.480
leather jacket right right. Yeah.
You know what used to get me really

541
00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:42.480
changry back in the eighties. Role
what that flat cake? Deer? There?

542
00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:45.239
I said it, bro, that
always got me changry. Flat you

543
00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:50.039
ever have flat cake? Deer?
No, you've been looking so forward to

544
00:39:50.119 --> 00:39:53.079
having beer and you can't get beer
legally, and then you get it and

545
00:39:53.079 --> 00:39:57.599
it's flat kills the whole party.
We never knew the difference when I was

546
00:39:57.639 --> 00:39:59.880
a kid, and we were like
just be We were just happy to get

547
00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:06.039
Yeah, what was your favorite?
Back then? I didn't even have one

548
00:40:06.159 --> 00:40:08.400
because I thought, you know,
we wanted to impress our friends, we

549
00:40:08.440 --> 00:40:12.800
wanted to look cool, and so
whatever we can get, you know,

550
00:40:12.840 --> 00:40:15.800
some of our friends parents. We'd
sneak in there and get and we had

551
00:40:15.800 --> 00:40:20.920
all kinds. My dad at my
house, he would have he'd loved the

552
00:40:20.960 --> 00:40:24.320
Irish beer Guinness. But my friends, my friends, it was so different.

553
00:40:24.360 --> 00:40:30.719
My friends, it was like Schlitz. It was it was just regular

554
00:40:30.760 --> 00:40:34.199
bud. I mean, it was
an interesting time. Now. I have

555
00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:37.000
a lot of great memories of the
eighties, but I also have a lot

556
00:40:37.039 --> 00:40:39.800
of wisdom to things where I would
not do again. But then again,

557
00:40:39.840 --> 00:40:44.199
that's that's how you grow up to
be you brother, That's right. And

558
00:40:44.280 --> 00:40:46.360
on that note, this has been
