99
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:28.600
to back to the eighties. Chang
here from Tuscono and Chang. Tonight we

100
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:33.840
are diving into the topic of apparatus
is the viases some of the first gadgets

101
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:39.120
that we all fell in love with
that had a price to pay. Now,

102
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.720
I remember the very first gadget that
I was like totally juiced up on

103
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:48.440
because I could take my rock and
roll radio everywhere I went with those cheap

104
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:56.919
looking, tin tight apparatus headphones,
the Walkman, And I'll tell you I

105
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:00.360
didn't walk, I ran. So
mine was like a musical body to the

106
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:03.639
rand Man with the chang Man.
But you know what changed, you know?

107
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.279
So it took me a while to
get a real good one. I

108
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:11.960
had. My parents always would buy
me like the remember thrifties had behind the

109
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:18.960
cheap the cheap Emerson Walkman's. I
got one of those for Christmas and it

110
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:22.919
didn't last long. And I always
wanted a Sony. But you guys got

111
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:33.080
to remember before the iPod of the
early two thousands, before phones and streaming

112
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:39.840
music that killed off an entire industry. The Walkman was the original must have

113
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:46.600
portable player, ghetto box on the
go. Yeah, and specifically the Sony

114
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.960
Walkman. It was like no other. Everybody wanted one. I mean,

115
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.039
you saw Sony Walkman and you knew
because Sony back then was the king of

116
00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:03.000
electronics. They made quality products everything
room. Yeah. Now I want to

117
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:07.559
remind everybody listening that you may not
have your cassettes anymore, um, but

118
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:11.759
if you got up. But for
those but for those that do, there's

119
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:18.960
a great website. It's called Walkman. It's called Walkman dash archive dot com.

120
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:24.279
It's called a Walkman Archive. And
the guy who puts the Walkman archive

121
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:33.679
up, he is a DJ.
He's called a tape jockey. You're gonna's

122
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:35.840
crawling out of my button. He
can't stop eating. I don't get it.

123
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:41.919
So he's no, he's a he's
a tape jockey. He basically is

124
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:46.600
a is a DJ talk and he
goes to parties and he gets hired and

125
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:52.519
all he does is play music with
his Walkman's. He's got a bunch of

126
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.879
different Walkman's and the quality and I
gotta tell you something, Man the quality.

127
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:01.080
See one of the biggest issues that
we had back then, as our

128
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:05.320
tape recorders sucked. Only the people
that had a lot of money can afford

129
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:07.720
these, you know, the big
higher end, the Yamahas and then not

130
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:13.120
Meet Yeah, well you get it
for free. However, there was a

131
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:18.320
very expensive brand of cassette players called
not caa Meet you the best of the

132
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:24.279
best, and we're talking they literally
sound better than streaming music even off of

133
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:28.639
a cassette. Well. Walkman's were
something that we all grew up either wanting

134
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:35.399
or having. And I remember one
of the movies that made the Walkman even

135
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:41.360
more popular was Back to the Future. Remember when Marty Marty's listening to Van

136
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:46.360
Halen. Yeah, man, I
always wanted that Iowa that I remember the

137
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:52.519
brand, Iowa, Iowa Red Walkman. Yeah, dude, I had an

138
00:11:52.639 --> 00:12:01.240
Iowa indoor stereo system. I had
the turntable, the cassette player head.

139
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:05.799
I had two old fashioned Pioneers speakers
that I got from the group, the

140
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:13.360
group the fred You remember when when
Pioneer was such an pained brand. Oh

141
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:18.639
dude, they were the Kings.
I think of audio sound. Yeah,

142
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:24.120
and then you're not a great And
then also I'm going to mention a brand

143
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:30.240
that made great products back then,
really great products, especially in bigger stereo

144
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:35.120
systems. They made great, great
speakers, and that was the Fisher stereo

145
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:41.759
system. You remember that Fisher All
Fishers, Fishers were Yeah, Fisher was

146
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:45.679
was pretty cool. You remember Jensen. Jensen was also a pretty badass.

147
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:50.279
But yeah, yeah, I Rememberers. Yeah, Fishers were. Fishers were

148
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:54.279
the second running. I mean,
you know, if you can get some

149
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:58.080
Fishers, you know, you'll be
really badass if you take the next step

150
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:01.039
up, you know. But yeah, you want to hear a funny story

151
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:07.480
and if my if my best friend
from high school, Mark Hernandez, I'm

152
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:09.960
gonna tell you a little story and
I'll try to cut it down really short.

153
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:15.080
But we had some people living and
uh in our garage that my mom

154
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:20.399
rented out our garage to two young
guys and they had Mexican Yeah. Yeah,

155
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:24.159
so they had a whole bunch of
stolen stuff in there in the garage,

156
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:28.639
right, They had talking to Fisher
systems, They had Alpine stereos.

157
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:35.039
Everything everything was in a bag.
Anyway, long story short, Uh,

158
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:39.240
I forgot the reason why, but
we decided my friend Mark and it's my

159
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:43.000
house after all, right, so
we decided, you know what, these

160
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:48.039
guys don't deserve their equipment. I
think there should be a breaking in the

161
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:52.399
house. So the Italian in you
took over the Mexican side of you,

162
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:58.960
that's right. And uh so we
kind of you know, granted, were

163
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:05.000
like fourteen or fifteen years old,
and we staged a break in. The

164
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:11.799
funny thing is we left our den
room window open. Yeah, nothing was

165
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:15.960
broken because we didn't think that far
I had, So we just opened the

166
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:22.200
window and I remember taking all their
stuff and we we put it. We

167
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:24.679
jumped the wall to our house and
it led to the back of these apartment

168
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:28.919
apartments that were there, and we
just left the stuff there for about a

169
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:33.320
week and then we we eventually moved
it to my friend's house. And I

170
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:35.759
don't even remember what we did with
it, but and I forgot the reason.

171
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:39.039
Something had happened, and we thought, you know what, they're undeserving

172
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:43.559
of all that stolen stuff. We're
just gonna take it from them Robin Hood

173
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:46.559
style. So that was like the
Italian and you now, now, I

174
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:50.600
bet you made it up the wall
with ease with your shark skin suit on.

175
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:54.480
Oh no, no, no,
were you when you started those types

176
00:14:54.519 --> 00:15:05.679
of my ninja skills took over anyway, so as to tell you forget about

177
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:11.320
it, hi yah. Another one
of the products that really defined the eighties

178
00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:18.799
was the first Motorola micro Tac brick
phone. It was a flip phone,

179
00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:24.600
remember the Motorola. Only the rich
hated because it was a staggering three thousand

180
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:28.679
dollars to purchase back in the eighties. And remember cell phone service and this

181
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:31.840
is nineteen eighty nine, okay,
so this is the last year of the

182
00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:37.120
eighties. But before then, they
had these big brick phones that that came

183
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:41.960
out, and certain especially Mercedes,
would have the you know when they had

184
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:46.080
that little coiled up black antenna in
the back that they had a car phone,

185
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:50.240
and car phones were literally connected.
So you can't just steal a car

186
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:54.360
phone. I mean you could take
it, but you have to cut wires

187
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:58.639
yet because it was bolted onto the
car. And do you remember everybody used

188
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:02.279
to comp playing. You know,
it's great having a car phone, but

189
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:06.519
they would charge like, you know, it was like twenty dollars a minute

190
00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:11.519
or seventy eleven dollars. It was
something outrageous. Yeah, I remember,

191
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:14.679
I would use my mom's car every
now and then my mom had a ride

192
00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:17.879
with a car phone, and I
tried she be all smooth. Yeah,

193
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:22.039
yeah, my mom, you know, she she was. She she fell

194
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:26.759
into some decent living after her and
my old man got divorced. My mom

195
00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.879
was a school teacher, so she
kind of smoothed in, you know,

196
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:33.279
to where she was doing a ride
for herself, and she hooked up with

197
00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:37.440
my stepdad, this cat, and
he made pretty good bread. He was

198
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:41.759
a plumbing inspector of the county.
So there their ride had a phone in

199
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:45.399
it. It was kind of crazy. Yeah, No, they went through

200
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:48.440
that. Every two years they got
a new Cadillac and I would be like,

201
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:49.759
hey, you guys are Mexican,
You're not Italian. What's up with

202
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:52.039
these guys? You guys get in
Catillacs all the time. Now, we

203
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:56.759
would only envy, envy people with
with car phones because and we had no

204
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:00.440
idea that you know, even if
we had a car phone, we wouldn't

205
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:03.559
want to pay the bill. I
don't know who would want to pay that

206
00:17:03.640 --> 00:17:07.480
bill, you know what I mean? You try to call phone sex,

207
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:12.279
you're out two hundred bucks, speaking
of and you're out of money, remember

208
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:18.319
do you remember that whole period of
the eighties when the nine seven six numbers

209
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:22.400
came out? And how do you
remember though people were getting we're going after

210
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:26.319
the I mean there were marriages that
got broken up because of that. There

211
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:32.000
were parents come, you know,
getting pissed off at their children because their

212
00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:34.319
children were you know, the boys
were calling these nine seventy six numbers.

213
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:38.119
I remember I remember calling the six
numbers. Oh so did I? Bro?

214
00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:42.440
Do you remember the commercials after Saturday
Night Live? Oh? Yeah?

215
00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:48.599
Or else after what was the name
of that show? Uh? Man?

216
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.319
Remember it was the midnight special,
you know, after the hours. Then

uh hot chick commercials. Got a little

you know, the famous or infamous ninety

226
00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:36.000
seventy six decade. But check this
out. One thing that I asked my

227
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:40.240
dad for after watching Back to the
Future in nineteen eighty five, after watching

228
00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:48.079
Michael J. Fox or Marty McFly
with his wonderful calculator watch, I bugged

229
00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:52.759
my dad to death and I said, I want a calculator watch from Cassio

230
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:57.079
because Cassio, maybe Cassio they had
the best watches. Yeah, And so

231
00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:03.680
my dad took me to Radio Shack
and bought me my very first calculator watch.

232
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:07.400
When I went to school the very
next day, I was the coolest

233
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:12.559
cat in the school. Everybody wanted
to see my calculator watch and uh and

234
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:17.960
everybody said, oh, now you
can cheat on math and you know stuff

235
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:22.079
like that. Even my teacher said, that is a cool watch. I

236
00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:27.279
mean, anybody who had a calculator
watch was was cool. It was bottom

237
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:30.400
line, was cool, even if
you didn't use it, because I don't.

238
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:34.599
I think I would just use the
calculator for fun or too, just

239
00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:37.960
to show off. I never actually
used it. I would have been using

240
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:42.839
it and charging my fellow students up
the ass cash, but the answers give

241
00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:52.000
me a five ski there is twice. My mom was. She had her

242
00:19:52.000 --> 00:20:03.200
own gadgets. She had a really
did I fall into that one? I

243
00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:11.759
should know better? Holy smokes.
She had a Polaroid son a F six

244
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:19.440
sixty. She had polaroid camera.
Oh yes, okay, that that came

245
00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:22.720
out. And remember polaroid were the
ones that you inserted the cartridge inside,

246
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:27.079
you press the buttons and it shot
out the picture and you had to wait

247
00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:32.279
so everybody you could see everybody.
Remember, shake it like you're fanning yourself

248
00:20:32.279 --> 00:20:36.240
because it's tiny, like like your
old aunt. Oh it's so hot,

249
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:40.279
Oh my god. And then and
then the funny thing is the picture would

250
00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:45.480
start kind of like dripping in colors
and until it would finally come out and

251
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:48.720
you realize, now, back then
we thought, wow, this is the

252
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:53.160
coolest thing ever. But now that
I remember, pictures were pretty like dull

253
00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:56.359
and yellowish. I mean, they
never came out nice and bright. And

254
00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:00.319
then you had a lot of shadow
on them too. Oh yeah, on

255
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:03.880
how you were the shadow and the
picture was was where you're gonna get a

256
00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:08.200
face shot? Uh? Maybe just
a hair shot. Uh, but you

257
00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:14.799
know what I think, And you
know what, that's actually the very first

258
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:19.799
time that people started doing Um,
I'm not gonna say selfies, but you

259
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:23.240
know the instant gratification of looking at
your pictures. Well, yeah, I

260
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:29.000
remember I used the Polaroid to take
a picture of my junk and then show

261
00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:37.240
it to my buddies in a joke
and said, yeah, that's right back

262
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:38.480
to the eighties. We go all
the way back. And don't worry,

263
00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:47.599
he's not going to put that out
because that's good comedy. Yeah, I'll

264
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:49.440
tell you, he tells, I'm
gonna send you. I'm gonna send you

265
00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:57.119
an email of my nuts. Budden
Wiser. Oh, you just reminded me

266
00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:02.319
of the unknown comment. He just
flew in from Las Vegas. Nobody knew

267
00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:04.559
it, Bud Wiser. Hey,
now you want to know something. I

268
00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:12.440
opened up for that guy at the
ice House in Passadena during the first uh

269
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:18.880
probably the first run where I really
got lucky and I got noticed and they

270
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:22.000
started putting me in with you know, a former well known comedians, and

271
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:26.799
that dude was like, so super
cool. You'll tell you'll tell, you'll

272
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:29.680
tell you. You know how he
comes out, Well, he used to

273
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:32.519
come out with a bag, a
paper bag over his head with a right

274
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:37.279
I always I always pictured that under
that bag. It was a guy that

275
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:40.839
looked like Howard Stern in the eighties, you know, with curly hair,

276
00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:45.480
glasses and a mustache. But he
looked like a porn star. Oh you

277
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:47.880
saw him, You saw him without
the bag. Oh yeah, dude,

278
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:49.319
I remember seeing him without the bag. I remember when I was a kid.

279
00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:52.799
I went to go see the tape
to make me laugh. Oh,

280
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:57.000
I remember. You have to understand, like my own man was like he

281
00:22:57.039 --> 00:23:00.920
opened up the floodgates, do whatever
you wanted. It was a comedian because

282
00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:03.359
my old man saw that I was
a little different than everybody, you know

283
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:06.359
what I mean. So I went
to the taping of that show and I

284
00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:10.119
got to see him there. I
got to meet him. And then way

285
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:12.200
later in the later years, I
think I was forty seven and I was

286
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:15.440
doing stand up comedy in LA and
I went and did a gig at the

287
00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:22.680
Ice House in Pasadena and I opened
up for him, and I met Bruce

288
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:26.079
Baum. Uh you know what I'm
saying. I met some some pretty big

289
00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:30.640
Franklin and Jay you know comedians back
then, and you know, back in

290
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:36.640
the day I met Jay Leno and
uh oh man, the list could go

291
00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:38.400
on, you know of who I
met. Anyway, I opened up with

292
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:41.759
this cat dude, and he was
as funny and as quick and as sharp

293
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:48.240
and his same exact personality as he
was when I seen him at at the

294
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:51.160
TV show taping and I got to
talk to him from it. He was

295
00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:53.200
exactly the same. Dude. Wow, he was a badass. He was

296
00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:56.720
a badass bro, just a badass
comedian. You know, one of these

297
00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:00.400
things who in the face with one
liners, and we probably miss you.

298
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:03.680
Everybody who's an eighties fan, we
promise you that. Uh you know,

299
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:07.279
why don't we do this? How
about next Friday, we promise the fans.

300
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:11.240
Let's do it right now. Let's
make this commitment with everybody. Next

301
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:15.799
Friday, we go over eighties comedians
in the comedy world of the eighties.

302
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:18.240
What do you think everybody like that? I think that's a great idea.

303
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:21.559
All right, cool, cool,
everybody likes that? All right? Oh

304
00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:23.079
dude, I mean it's gonna be
insane. You got Bill Hicks, you

305
00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:27.160
got Sam Kinnison, uh, Andrew
Dice, Clay Franklin, and Ji.

306
00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:30.279
I mean, oh dude, it's
that's the show. I think me and

307
00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:33.559
you can do a couple of shows
off of right there, Bro most likely

308
00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:37.319
mean you have. Everybody was rock
and even Richard Pryor was a force.

309
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:41.119
Eddie Murphy. Eddie Murphy was you
know what I think better? You know

310
00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:44.960
what I think is better. This
is back to This is back to the

311
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:48.200
We're gonna be right back. If
they were a laxative, they'd be so

312
00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:55.160
powerful you could stand on your head
and on the ceiling next position would not

313
00:24:55.200 --> 00:25:03.319
only but also I'm dignified and now
fact eighties with Toscato and Chang. You

314
00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:07.119
are listening to the one and only
back to the eighties radio show. I'm

315
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:11.960
Tiscano from Tiscanto and Chang. We're
talking about the gadgets that defined the eighties,

316
00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:17.839
and we talked about very briefly.
We talked about the Polaroid cameras,

317
00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:22.000
we talked about what else did we
talk about, Chang? Oh yeah,

318
00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:25.039
oh yeah. We talked about the
cell phones. We talked about the Cassio

319
00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:30.960
watch and the Walkman. But now
speakers, stereo systems come on with us.

320
00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:40.160
You've got to remember things that defined
the eighties was the Nintendo video game

321
00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:45.599
system is Mtroid. The Power is
Nintendo depends the planet's steepers against the evil

322
00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:52.720
Mother Rain. It's Survival or Destruction, to Battle or Die mctroid only from

323
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:57.680
Nintendo Playing Rat Play with Power,
It's Turbo Feed in three D. It's

324
00:25:57.759 --> 00:26:08.680
Treacherous Tracks, Hairpin Turns le Right
Racer only from Nintendo Now Playing. You

325
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:14.200
are looking at that today. Look
today, it's today, in twenty twenty

326
00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:19.359
one, we are leagues ahead.
I mean, the gaming world is it

327
00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:23.680
has looked. The gaming world makes
more money today than Hollywood does. Nobody

328
00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:27.039
ever thought that as possible, But
look at look at some of the artistry.

329
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:33.119
Bro. No, it's it's absolutely
phenomenal. However, even though the

330
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:38.160
gaming industry looks better today, there's
no This is not an argument, but

331
00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:45.559
the nostalgic experiences, those experiences that
that defined us when we were growing up.

332
00:26:47.440 --> 00:26:52.839
The Nintendo system captured like no other
system did. Nintendo and coll Eco

333
00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:56.519
Vision. You gotta remember this,
remember Colliquo Vision. Yes, and there

334
00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:04.160
was even Vortex another box, and
they captured they captured the spirit of the

335
00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:08.880
arcades. Yes, I agree,
And I mean when when those came out,

336
00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:12.680
you were home, you were going
I actually have an arcade at my

337
00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:15.599
house. Well, once again,
I am bitter about it because my mom

338
00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:22.039
never allowed me to have any of
those systems. Let me elaborate on this.

339
00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:25.960
So you're talking the sounds, Remember
the music that would come out on

340
00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:30.920
the video game, the characters,
the way it looked the beginning when you

341
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:36.799
start a game, the same kind
of carnival ish look, an appeal and

342
00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:40.960
animation as when you're in the video
game. Correct, Remember how you would

343
00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:42.920
turn on like when you turn on
back then. Yeah, and it goes

344
00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:47.000
through the whole scenario at the beginning
of the game, and the characters and

345
00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:51.720
the rundown on the screen, and
then the press start. I know exactly

346
00:27:51.799 --> 00:27:53.720
right, that's what you're talking about, exactly. I know exactly. It

347
00:27:53.880 --> 00:27:59.160
brought these arcade feeling of it exactly. You take it home. Yeah,

348
00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:07.960
Now this becomes permanent, This becomes
solitude, This becomes entertainment, and you

349
00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:11.039
don't have to leave the house.
Now you can indulge in other things and

350
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:12.880
have people at your house to do
what you want to do, whether you're

351
00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:21.759
partaking in illegal activity, good fun, wholesome activity activity, or well I'm

352
00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:23.960
just telling I'm just pointing out the
different things that people could do with that

353
00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:29.680
type of entertainment. Donald, Please
look, why can't I why can't it

354
00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:33.000
be like doing nice months in the
stutter? Yeah, you could have said,

355
00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:36.279
out of all the things you could
have said, nice wholesome stuff with

356
00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:41.039
the family, you went directly to
the illegal activity, or you didn't let

357
00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:45.559
me finish you. I'm afraid.
I'm afraid what it's like when you finish

358
00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:51.359
quickly. You went into the mister
hand position. Exactly? Is it this

359
00:28:51.680 --> 00:28:55.240
our time, mister hand, where
I can say what I need to say?

360
00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:59.680
And I was going to refer to
there's other activities you can do beside

361
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:04.359
illegal activities that you have. Yes, you can be the host of family

362
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:07.720
parties. Now, hey, it's
Josh's birthday. Let's get together in my

363
00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:11.559
house and we can play games,
right, and then we can hit the

364
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:15.599
keg. Right, No one drives
everybody's keys, goes into basket and Roger

365
00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:21.240
Garage and were just getting our jammies. We get inebriated, and I could

366
00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:23.599
kick everyone's ass at Donkey Kong.
You see where I was going with that

367
00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:29.880
whole Yeah, exactly. Kids,
you're seventeen and you're gonna get loaded,

368
00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:32.759
get loaded at home and play the
same video games me and your mom bought.

369
00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:37.119
Yeah, but definitely love of God. Look, you know what that

370
00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:42.160
brought to us was an unforgettable experience. And you know, video games video

371
00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:45.839
games today. I mean without comparing
them about video games today and the kids

372
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:56.000
of today playing the video games,
they are not experiencing something something that that

373
00:29:56.119 --> 00:29:57.599
we did, for example, going
to our kids and bringing it home.

374
00:29:57.799 --> 00:30:02.160
They will never know what that is. So all they have is preach,

375
00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:04.720
preach harm. Brother, All you
have is just something that looks kind of

376
00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:11.039
real, and they play a little
competition against other people, uh, you

377
00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:14.000
know, across the internet, and
that's pretty much it. And then it's

378
00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:18.640
just repetitive. It's over and over
and over again. Now let me continue

379
00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:22.480
with your rant. You sound like
an angry father, and I applaud you

380
00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:26.440
because I'm angry like that. Also, I know exactly what you're talking about.

381
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:29.240
I mean, now, the graphics, like you pointed out, Bro,

382
00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:33.039
they're insane. Are you not agreeing
with you? No, Like I

383
00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:37.119
said, I would never compare the
graphics today. I'm sure you watch your

384
00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:41.400
kids play. You can get enthralled
to watch your kids play, and you

385
00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:44.400
think you're actually watching a fricking movie. But it's your kid playing a game.

386
00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:47.039
And then when your kid gets wiped
out, you're like, what happened?

387
00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:49.160
What happened? I got shot,
you dumbass? Yeah what are you?

388
00:30:49.279 --> 00:30:52.440
What's about it when you're getting shot? Yeah? No, you know,

389
00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:57.319
it's a different it's a different weling. It's great, but it's it's

390
00:30:57.400 --> 00:31:03.039
not feeling me with an experience.
And you know what, and that's JUSTO.

391
00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:06.279
I agree with you because this is
the thing I think you'll agree.

392
00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:12.279
The difference is headphones and mouthpiece.
They the kids of the new kids,

393
00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:15.960
the new kids on the block,
The new kids on the block, they

394
00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:19.200
suck. I thought they were weak. No, anyway, the newer yeah

395
00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:25.079
do it bro Bomp bump bump boy
bands just got good god boy bands got

396
00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:30.000
has got sick devia little bastards all
over it. I mean the sickness of

397
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:33.119
some of these people that worked at
Disney. Anyway, back to what I

398
00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:38.519
was talking about, I gotta stab
somebody for her. Like I was saying,

399
00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:44.920
the differences. They have headsets and
microphones to where the newer generation of

400
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:48.039
kids they can get into gaming,
but they're talking to people way across the

401
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:53.000
lands via that in our era.
What you're just talking about, that that

402
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:59.319
that intense feeling you're getting is the
human contact that you have to play with

403
00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:04.079
somebody at your own discremacy, at
your own home. How many people can

404
00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:09.960
you invite? It's that physical right
there in your face interaction with other people.

405
00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:14.960
Right then, they're as opposed to
nowadays, to where they can talk

406
00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:19.559
to five hundred dudes or fifty other
dudes all across the globe, but they're

407
00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:24.079
not in the same room getting that
real physical energy right right, And they

408
00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:29.039
don't know anybody. Yeah, they
don't know anybody. They have no friendship

409
00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:35.000
with those people, and they can
be total loaners in their own bedroom for

410
00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:40.799
weeks, you know, yes,
yes, and the bad thing and that

411
00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:45.839
opens up all kinds of catastrophe.
Brother, That's how you get sex trafficking.

412
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:50.680
That's how you get kids molested,
kids running away on a dream and

413
00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:53.599
getting lost. That's how kids are
growing up too fast because you don't know

414
00:32:53.599 --> 00:32:58.640
who's on the other. Depression,
anxiety, all these kids anxiety because they

415
00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:00.839
don't know how to deal with people. There's a couple of people out there

416
00:33:01.559 --> 00:33:07.200
that I was gonna say, I'm
sure you agree upon that can sound like

417
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:09.440
they're the same level as our kids. Correct, But they could be as

418
00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:13.400
old as us and we don't know
what they're doing all about, you know

419
00:33:13.400 --> 00:33:15.119
what I'm saying. So it's oh, absolutely, it's just I agree with

420
00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:19.960
you, totally, bro. The
what word am I looking at? The

421
00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:27.279
innocence of what you're talking about in
comparison to what weird diving into now is

422
00:33:27.319 --> 00:33:30.079
totally different. It's the innocence,
correct, my brother, Correct, And

423
00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:37.839
we became one with the actual game
rather than become one with the middleman in

424
00:33:37.880 --> 00:33:45.559
this case, today they are one
with the internet. There is no interpersonal

425
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:50.799
skills, there's no interpersonal relationships.
It's just you know what, it's just

426
00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:52.880
like talking to a robot on the
other side. Yes, let me ask

427
00:33:52.920 --> 00:34:00.480
you this real quick, brou Do
you think that gaming nowadays for the new

428
00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:07.960
generation is a form of addiction proposed
to our generation to where it was excitement,

429
00:34:08.519 --> 00:34:16.880
a getaway type of a socialized kind
of fun, where now entertainment right

430
00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:23.280
back then with what we're talking about
into nowadays, do you think that gaming

431
00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:28.840
now to some of our youth is
an addiction. No, it's one hundred

432
00:34:28.840 --> 00:34:32.559
percent in an addiction, and it's
different to an addiction that some teams had

433
00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:37.119
of going to the arcade back then, different kind of an addiction. This

434
00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:43.039
addiction is dangerous. The one that
we have today is dangerous because it relies

435
00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:51.079
the team, relies on a connection, you know, an online connection,

436
00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:57.079
so that team can be happy.
You've seen these kids when their video games

437
00:34:57.079 --> 00:35:00.639
are taken away. You've seen these
kids when they lose an the video game.

438
00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:06.400
They destroy their computers, their monitors, they destroy their controllers. I

439
00:35:06.440 --> 00:35:10.280
mean, anyway, we're off on
a total rant here. But we're talking

440
00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:16.519
about gadgets of the eighties and another
one of the gadgets, and I gotta

441
00:35:16.519 --> 00:35:21.400
get off the subject. But and
we'll talk about this even uh you know,

442
00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:25.320
more brief but VHS players, VHS
players and Beto mix players, we

443
00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:30.800
love them. Bottom line is we
love them. Rocks. Yeah, it

444
00:35:31.239 --> 00:35:34.199
loved them. And you know what
if you look behind me, and I

445
00:35:34.280 --> 00:35:37.360
know everybody can't, but I've got
a cassette deck right here behind me.

446
00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:42.960
Nice, I've got I've got a
handful of I've got a handful of cassette.

447
00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:45.320
Look at that, Look at that. You know, mixtape. The

448
00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:47.000
first thing I see is mixtape.
And you know the first thing I want

449
00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:51.639
to do is like I want to
crank on some madness. What about that?

450
00:35:52.039 --> 00:35:54.840
Oh that's a good one, right
there, broo. Yeah, and

451
00:35:55.920 --> 00:36:02.239
so we we had. Look even
the gadgets that we had, VHS Beta

452
00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:07.480
Max, the cassette players, the
turntables, all of these gadgets, the

453
00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:14.239
game boys. Okay, don't forget
the game boy, remember the electric electronic

454
00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:19.079
games. Football? Man, That
football was a little baseball one. The

455
00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:22.199
baseball one was insane. Remember how
all the lights would go around every time

456
00:36:22.239 --> 00:36:28.360
they took a swing. And the
nostalgia. I'm even gonna mention one more

457
00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:31.679
thing that this generation knows nothing about. I mean this one period. They

458
00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:37.039
know nothing about this. But music
players Okay, unlike streaming, everything's on

459
00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:42.360
the phone now was much more bolder. It was in your face. And

460
00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:49.480
they were battery powered behemoths called boomboxes. Yes, you know all these things

461
00:36:49.519 --> 00:36:52.159
that we just mentioned. All these
things, man, all these gadgets that

462
00:36:52.280 --> 00:36:59.000
defined the eighties, that defined us. With one word, bro it was

463
00:36:59.039 --> 00:37:02.360
an experience, Yes, that's all
it was. Now. I remember my

464
00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:07.159
buddy, my best friend, Raymie
Baraza, God rest his soul, He

465
00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:14.159
had this outrageous boom box broll and
me and this cat. We used to

466
00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:20.280
borrow my sister's maverick. You remember
what a maverick looked like, and HI

467
00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:22.559
would the maverick off my sister and
all we would do is I give him

468
00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:27.199
some bud and give him some pizza. Her and my brother in law at

469
00:37:27.199 --> 00:37:29.920
the time, right, and me
and my buddy would borrow this maverick.

470
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:32.639
We take it at my sisters and
then we'd roll it down on my pad,

471
00:37:32.760 --> 00:37:37.000
right, and then we would take
the hub caps off, and then

472
00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:39.079
we would put a different type of
hubcap that made it look like he was

473
00:37:39.199 --> 00:37:43.960
racing. Okay, stay with me, bro, Now, this thing only

474
00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:49.360
had an AMFM radio with maybe just
the two door speakers, and it had

475
00:37:49.519 --> 00:37:51.920
an eight track. Bro, this
is the eighties, but it had an

476
00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:54.000
eight track. Well, we're not
going to be playing the cars all freaking

477
00:37:54.119 --> 00:37:59.760
night or the Carpenters because we're not
gonna go Earthwind and Fire, no way.

478
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:02.039
Me and my buddy were some little
rocker dudes. So what we used

479
00:38:02.039 --> 00:38:07.039
to do with my buddy would we
would deck this thing out at at my

480
00:38:07.039 --> 00:38:10.320
pad and we would throw an iron
Maiden banner across the back seat. We

481
00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:15.320
would throw a black Sabbath, Heaven
and Hell banner on the back window.

482
00:38:15.400 --> 00:38:19.639
But yet you could still see,
you know, the cars and the movement

483
00:38:19.679 --> 00:38:22.639
behind you. It was black.
We would go to his pad up the

484
00:38:22.679 --> 00:38:27.360
street and we would get his boom
box. We would carry it to the

485
00:38:27.400 --> 00:38:30.519
car. Okay, then we would
go to the liquor store that I worked

486
00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:35.719
at and we would buy twelve twelve
big ass batteries. Pop those things in

487
00:38:35.760 --> 00:38:39.280
there. Then we would always get
two sets of that many batteries. So

488
00:38:39.360 --> 00:38:44.239
we had a grip of batteries in
the back seat, and me and this

489
00:38:44.360 --> 00:38:49.480
cat would roll to Hollywood every Friday
or Saturday night when me and him could

490
00:38:49.519 --> 00:38:52.320
get this car. And I'm talking, dude, Me and him were like

491
00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:57.000
maybe what seventeen eighteen, because this
is not long before he passed away,

492
00:38:57.559 --> 00:39:00.440
And we would just roll, roll, and just cranking metal. And the

493
00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:05.679
boom box was so loud you thought
that there was a system in his Maverick,

494
00:39:05.719 --> 00:39:08.480
bro, But it was just two
long hair dudes bumping a boom box

495
00:39:08.639 --> 00:39:13.960
cassette up. Bro. Those were
the days, dude, the days that

496
00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:19.039
you just you you can't bring back, you know what I mean. I

497
00:39:19.079 --> 00:39:22.559
would love to take my kids in
the same scenario or anybody's kid take them

498
00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:28.000
for a roll down and go down
the streets. That's that's got some kind

499
00:39:28.039 --> 00:39:30.519
of heritage to it. In the
middle of the night, when the lights

500
00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:36.679
and and the the you can smell
the light, You could smell the smell

501
00:39:36.760 --> 00:39:39.360
of the streets, the burger stands, the cigarettes that people are smoking on

502
00:39:39.400 --> 00:39:44.079
the side of the road. You
know, the sounds of every now and

503
00:39:44.119 --> 00:39:46.360
then you cruise by a bar and
you hear disco music, or you hear

504
00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:50.119
hip hop, or you hear metal, you know, and you just like

505
00:39:50.320 --> 00:39:53.360
go right back and take people back
cruising down the boulevard. Dude with a

506
00:39:53.360 --> 00:39:59.239
boombox, a freaking boom box.
Yeah, it's it's once again. And

507
00:39:59.280 --> 00:40:02.639
I will never get tired of saying
that. That word. What we had

508
00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:08.199
that brings that smile to our face
even today, is that experience. Yes,

509
00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:14.559
Um, it was that moment that
was caught in time that we were

510
00:40:14.679 --> 00:40:19.679
trying out things for the very first
time, because before that, we didn't

511
00:40:19.679 --> 00:40:22.320
we didn't have anything. Right,
No, Um, you were, you

512
00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:24.920
were, you were breakdancing back then, right, But you know what I'm

513
00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:29.920
talking about, the boom box,
very very early eighties. I even I

514
00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:32.119
asked my parents for a boombox that
they did let me have. I had

515
00:40:32.159 --> 00:40:37.199
a turntable I had. I had
a whole stereo. You're walking around on

516
00:40:37.239 --> 00:40:39.800
the street, no wonder, you're
a crazy head. You probably had a

517
00:40:39.800 --> 00:40:45.559
Sharkskin suit of forty five, a
boom box, and Adida jumpsuits so you

518
00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:47.480
could use the break daddy. You
were a badass phile. Dude, broke.

519
00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:52.679
Yeah, my brought of hair.
My breakdancing name was little Jammer.

520
00:40:54.119 --> 00:40:59.760
Oh yes, oh yeah. And
I wore my blue parachute pants with chrome

521
00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:02.679
us. You know what I used
to unbutton? Don't My pants used to

522
00:41:02.719 --> 00:41:10.400
become parachutes O black on the inside
it was black and they were like electric

523
00:41:10.400 --> 00:41:15.920
blue on the outside by Michael Jackson
Princes. And I used to wear these

524
00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:20.000
my kung fu shoes because it was
slippery. Yes, I had. I

525
00:41:20.039 --> 00:41:22.119
had several brush Yeah. My bruis
to buy him. He used to buy

526
00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:27.960
him in Chinatown, dude. Yeah. You go down right there by right

527
00:41:28.159 --> 00:41:31.320
ride Pastelvera Street. Yeah, and
then there's a couple of shops, what

528
00:41:31.840 --> 00:41:35.519
a couple of blocks up after a
couple of eatees and you go get to

529
00:41:35.639 --> 00:41:38.519
your little Chinese shoes. They had
them on a black rack outside and you

530
00:41:38.559 --> 00:41:44.199
could get like two pairs for a
certain price. Exactly the good old days,

531
00:41:44.880 --> 00:41:50.320
the very good days. Yes,
of course. So now here's another

532
00:41:50.360 --> 00:41:52.960
one for you. Now you gotta
remember that these days we can stream endless

533
00:41:52.960 --> 00:41:58.000
TV shows and films on the internet
and right endless, literally it's endless.

534
00:41:58.039 --> 00:42:02.079
We don't need end the days of
those big Do you remember the when a

535
00:42:02.199 --> 00:42:10.000
house had um satellite TV. Everybody
thought that they were I mean they were

536
00:42:10.119 --> 00:42:15.400
the boss, I mean they were
the bomb because they had this humongous satellite

537
00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:20.440
dish the size of half of their
backyard and looked like they're looking for eg

538
00:42:20.840 --> 00:42:30.760
Right, he had the opportunity in
nineteen eighty two when once again the king

539
00:42:30.840 --> 00:42:37.199
of electronic Sony launched in nineteen eighty
four. So in nineteen eight two in

540
00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:43.519
Japan, nineteen eighty four, North
America and Europe they launched the Sony Watchmen.

541
00:42:44.039 --> 00:42:47.400
Do you remember the Sony Watchman,
Kay, not Walkman, but the

542
00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:55.360
Sony Watchman. It was basically a
five centimeter five cent it's about an right,

543
00:42:55.480 --> 00:43:00.400
something like that. It was a
little color Elsie display a TV.

544
00:43:00.480 --> 00:43:05.039
It was a TV, the original
one that came out, of course was

545
00:43:05.079 --> 00:43:09.119
black and white, but they did
have they did have color. But man,

546
00:43:09.199 --> 00:43:13.480
if somebody had one of these,
if somebody had one of these,

547
00:43:13.519 --> 00:43:17.559
you knew that they were you knew
that they were rich, and they just

548
00:43:17.599 --> 00:43:22.400
could have anything they wanted. End
to us being able to watch TV like

549
00:43:22.480 --> 00:43:27.960
in the car, that was a
dream come true. Now this next gadget

550
00:43:27.960 --> 00:43:30.000
that I'm want to mention, Chang, I know for a fact, I'm

551
00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:36.519
going to bet you never had one
of these gadgets. In nineteen eighty three,

552
00:43:36.960 --> 00:43:45.280
people that wanted Swiss watches were finally
able to obtain the most famous Swiss

553
00:43:45.320 --> 00:43:49.400
watch of them all. Of course, it was plastic and very colorful.

554
00:43:50.159 --> 00:43:57.119
The Swatch was born. You had
a Swatch, Now I had a Saiko

555
00:43:57.199 --> 00:44:00.840
because I would say never hell no
to was Sacho. I got an all

556
00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:04.280
black one. So that's the way
to go. That's the way to go.

557
00:44:04.480 --> 00:44:06.960
I would go. You go all
bold and colorful. Hey, you

558
00:44:07.039 --> 00:44:09.760
like boy George. As a matter
of fact, I got you. But

559
00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:15.280
now I'll tell you what I'm I'm
on the market. I'm in the market

560
00:44:15.480 --> 00:44:20.239
for a Swatch watch, a colorful
one as a matter of fact. So

561
00:44:20.280 --> 00:44:24.440
one of these days will Chang and
I Are you looking for vivid color color?

562
00:44:24.519 --> 00:44:29.400
You want one bold color? No, I am looking for literally a

563
00:44:30.400 --> 00:44:34.679
swatch from the eighties, just that
has not been unpacked. And Chang and

564
00:44:34.760 --> 00:44:37.199
I will be sporting a watch from
the eighties. Now, maybe it's not

565
00:44:37.239 --> 00:44:40.960
a swatch, maybe it'll be a
calculator watch. But I guarantee you we're

566
00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:45.360
going to take a picture of our
of our watches and we're going to send

567
00:44:45.400 --> 00:44:47.599
them out on our social media.
What if I just go to my old

568
00:44:47.679 --> 00:44:54.159
jewelry box and pull up my chrome
plated Saco watch. It wasn't you got

569
00:44:55.000 --> 00:45:00.920
siding because it matched my leather apparatus
is that I used to wear on my

570
00:45:00.960 --> 00:45:04.000
wrist like Rob Helford with the studs. So I always had to go with

571
00:45:04.039 --> 00:45:07.840
a kind of a chrome your chaps
watch and I would put it in between

572
00:45:07.840 --> 00:45:10.199
my leather that way. WHOA,
I look tough, but I knew that

573
00:45:10.280 --> 00:45:15.119
I was on time. Who I
may get grounded after I'm in the pit

574
00:45:15.199 --> 00:45:19.000
for a while. I gotta I
gotta make sure I stay sober from now

575
00:45:19.039 --> 00:45:23.960

That's when the watch came in handy metal

576
00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:27.760
watch, but you know what.
No, we'll get some swatches. Well,

577
00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:31.920
it's either either swatch or calculator watch. We'll see what we can find

578
00:45:31.960 --> 00:45:36.239
here. I'm back to the eighties
radio. And that's not what we're gonna

579
00:45:36.239 --> 00:45:40.920
do. Is we're gonna be able
to give them away to our greatest fans

580
00:45:42.000 --> 00:45:45.920
here. So we'll see, we'll
pick a fan. We'll sign those correct,

581
00:45:45.960 --> 00:45:50.360
we'll sign them on the back somewhere
invisible ink, invisible ink and uh,

582
00:45:50.400 --> 00:45:52.159
and we'll send them out to you. So stay tuned for that.

00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:57.760
We gotta get to watch us first, we'll mind sign them. This.

00:47:04.920 --> 00:47:08.039
everything in the momentum of my mood
would go away for several seconds. You

597
00:47:08.119 --> 00:47:14.960
know what Goutney changry back in the
eighties with my devices, when I would

598
00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:21.159
lose what the last version of electronic
football. You know what got me chang

599
00:47:21.800 --> 00:47:27.000
back in the eighties with some of
my apparatuses and my games, when I

600
00:47:27.039 --> 00:47:32.199
would suck hairy balls at pac Man
and lose three men within two minutes.

601
00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:37.599
You know it gets me changry about
back in the eighties with my apparatuses.

602
00:47:38.039 --> 00:47:45.159
When I'm on a kick ass spree
and the battery goes out. You know

603
00:47:45.199 --> 00:47:51.559
what got me changry back in the
eighties about my devices when my calculator watch

604
00:47:52.320 --> 00:47:57.519
would stop working in the middle of
an algebra test. You know it got

605
00:47:57.519 --> 00:48:00.239
me changry back in the eighties with
my device is when that would happen to

606
00:48:00.400 --> 00:48:07.199
my poorno and that, ladies and
gentlemen, has been this week's changers.

607
00:48:07.559 --> 00:48:10.519
If you have something that made you
angry or chang grey back in the eighties

608
00:48:10.519 --> 00:48:15.360
and you'd like to share that with
everybody else, go ahead and send us

609
00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:19.599
your changree through our Facebook page and
we'll be more than glad to read them

610
00:48:19.639 --> 00:48:23.199
here live on the air for you. So, if you just joined us,

611
00:48:23.239 --> 00:48:28.239
we're here at the home stretch and
we're talking about gadgets of the eighties.

612
00:48:29.079 --> 00:48:31.320
What are some of the gadgets that
made you nostalgic from back then?

613
00:48:31.400 --> 00:48:37.440
What are some of the gadgets that
made you appreciate what you had more?

614
00:48:37.840 --> 00:48:42.400
What are some of those gadgets that
gave you that experience like no other gadget

615
00:48:42.440 --> 00:48:45.199
today can give you. You know, it's funny because I know we have

616
00:48:45.440 --> 00:48:51.519
in our hands. I mean,
this is we're living for eighties kids.

617
00:48:51.559 --> 00:48:53.480
Okay, not for the kids of
this generation, but for eighties kids.

618
00:48:54.559 --> 00:49:01.800
We're living in a dream, a
technological dream generation. Because everything that we

619
00:49:01.880 --> 00:49:07.440
ever dreamed of in movies, that
we saw in movies from way back in

620
00:49:07.440 --> 00:49:13.280
the seventies. If you watch Star
Trek, communicating through a watch, um

621
00:49:13.920 --> 00:49:19.440
through holograms in the movie Star Wars, and talking through a little device.

622
00:49:20.679 --> 00:49:23.280
I remember when ATNT came out with
a picture phone that nobody bought. By

623
00:49:23.280 --> 00:49:27.480
the way, it never went anywhere
because you had to have two picture phones,

624
00:49:28.079 --> 00:49:30.920
you know, in order for it
to work. Was likewakee talking,

625
00:49:30.960 --> 00:49:37.199
you have to have two. So
nowadays all us eighties kids are able to

626
00:49:37.239 --> 00:49:44.000
have an entire mega computer in our
hands, with our phones in our hand

627
00:49:44.159 --> 00:49:51.119
at any given time. Literally we
can do technologically speaking, we can do

628
00:49:51.360 --> 00:49:58.840
almost anything we want, you know, to kind of this really quick before

629
00:49:58.920 --> 00:50:01.039
don't lose track. You have to
keep talking the sad and the funny thing.

630
00:50:01.159 --> 00:50:07.280
It controls our cerebral and our subconscious
mind at the same time to where

631
00:50:07.280 --> 00:50:12.480
it is an addicting type of drug
that we naturally have to go to for

632
00:50:12.599 --> 00:50:15.559
every portion of our lives. And
I was going to say, and although

633
00:50:15.679 --> 00:50:21.199
we live in this era, that
for us is a dream come true.

634
00:50:21.639 --> 00:50:24.039
We thought when we were kids,
when we were teenagers back in the eighties,

635
00:50:24.079 --> 00:50:30.039
we thought that living in an age
where all this convenience would be at

636
00:50:30.039 --> 00:50:34.920
our fingertips, we thought that it
was going to be that life was going

637
00:50:35.000 --> 00:50:38.199
to be better, period. And
you know what, now I realize,

638
00:50:38.880 --> 00:50:45.559
I realized wholeheartedly that we would be
so much better off as a society.

639
00:50:45.400 --> 00:50:52.320
Our kids would be better mentally,
our government would be better if we would

640
00:50:53.280 --> 00:50:58.119
still, if we would not have
these darn things. I mean, there

641
00:50:58.159 --> 00:51:00.039
are people, you know what,
There are people, and I don't know,

642
00:51:01.239 --> 00:51:04.840
I don't believe you're like this.
I know I'm certainly not. I

643
00:51:04.840 --> 00:51:07.119
mean, I have a hard time
with social media as it is. Yes,

644
00:51:07.159 --> 00:51:12.159
of course, you know we're not
being hypocrites here. We do use

645
00:51:12.199 --> 00:51:15.880
our phones, of course we do. How else I get to watch as

646
00:51:17.800 --> 00:51:22.880
we bring you back to the eighties
if we didn't use technology, right,

647
00:51:22.480 --> 00:51:28.400
So, but social media take it
for example, I only do the back

648
00:51:28.440 --> 00:51:32.119
to the eighties. I don't even
do my own Facebook, you know,

649
00:51:32.159 --> 00:51:39.559
I don't keep up with my own
Facebook. So it's interesting that the phones

650
00:51:39.639 --> 00:51:46.000
came to not help us in a
way. It came to give us um

651
00:51:46.480 --> 00:51:52.519
a boost in inconvenience. However,
when it comes down to what it really

652
00:51:52.599 --> 00:52:00.719
has done to us, it has
produced a whole new generation of zombies,

653
00:52:00.039 --> 00:52:08.239
real life, real life zombies.
This generation has become a generation of zombies

654
00:52:08.280 --> 00:52:15.119
where this phone is more important to
a lot of people than even their family.

655
00:52:15.480 --> 00:52:20.679
I mean people, people are taking
their roons to the bathroom. Really,

656
00:52:21.559 --> 00:52:24.800
I mean they cannot put the phone
down. If they don't, you

657
00:52:24.800 --> 00:52:28.480
know, when when they go eat, what do they do with their phones?

658
00:52:28.519 --> 00:52:31.320
You'll see their phone on the table. Why is the phone on the

659
00:52:31.440 --> 00:52:37.679
damn table? It doesn't be lung
because there might be a dodger. And

660
00:52:37.800 --> 00:52:42.239
people say this all the time,
Well, I may get a message.

661
00:52:42.920 --> 00:52:45.960
First of all, the message can
wait, no matter how much of an

662
00:52:45.960 --> 00:52:51.920
emergency it is. When you're eating
with a family, your family should be

663
00:52:52.000 --> 00:52:55.280
first. And I'm sorry if you're
you know, I'm sorry out there for

664
00:52:55.320 --> 00:53:00.000
the families that don't eat together anymore. I'm really sorry. Um. Yeah,

665
00:53:00.039 --> 00:53:05.639
that's that's all. We'll definitely talk
about that on another show. But

666
00:53:05.719 --> 00:53:09.440
this, this phone is a blessing
and a big but it's a bigger curse.

667
00:53:09.800 --> 00:53:15.679
It's a bigger curse, and it
is a blessing because conveniance has now

668
00:53:15.719 --> 00:53:17.599
become And I'm gonna go out there
on a limb to say the following,

669
00:53:17.760 --> 00:53:22.840
and a lot of people won't like
this. I don't care. The phone

670
00:53:23.320 --> 00:53:28.760
has not only become the number one
thing in our life. It has become

671
00:53:28.960 --> 00:53:34.719
an idol, a thing of worship
too many, it's become a god too

672
00:53:34.719 --> 00:53:37.840
many. And I'll tell you why. Yes, what happens. What happens

673
00:53:37.960 --> 00:53:43.719
when people forget their phones at home
and they and they can't and they can't,

674
00:53:44.119 --> 00:53:45.960
you know, and you can't go
back for your phone because you're ready

675
00:53:46.000 --> 00:53:51.760
too far wherever it is that you're
going. And imagine this, Imagine you

676
00:53:51.800 --> 00:53:55.880
forget your phone and you're going to
work. How does that make you feel?

677
00:53:57.119 --> 00:54:00.199
You break down? Break down?
Yeah, and you break down down.

678
00:54:00.159 --> 00:54:02.559
You know, you bring up a
good point. Let me let me

679
00:54:04.159 --> 00:54:07.840
add to this as you're going on. And that's why we don't have pay

680
00:54:07.880 --> 00:54:10.440
phones anymore, because everybody is self
relying on a phone. So if you

681
00:54:10.559 --> 00:54:15.280
break down and you don't have your
phone, I'm guilty of this. I

682
00:54:15.320 --> 00:54:19.800
don't remember a lot of people's numbers
like I used to, especially because I

683
00:54:19.800 --> 00:54:22.639
am getting older and I did smoke
a lot of weed back in the eighties,

684
00:54:22.679 --> 00:54:25.239
So I probably don't remember people's numbers, or maybe I don't give a

685
00:54:25.239 --> 00:54:29.679
shit about their numbers. Either way, I'm telling you, if I forget

686
00:54:29.719 --> 00:54:32.079
my phone and I break down,
I'm up Shit's creek because I don't have

687
00:54:32.119 --> 00:54:37.440
a contact to call. And I
agree everything that you're saying. But we

688
00:54:37.519 --> 00:54:39.960
have become slaves to our device.
And that's a great word correct because it's

689
00:54:39.960 --> 00:54:45.840
true. We are slaves, brother, And I hate to admit, I

690
00:54:45.920 --> 00:54:51.000
really do, but I have become
Now granted I don't. I don't make

691
00:54:51.039 --> 00:54:54.280
a habit of taking my phone to
the bathroom cheers, and I try to

692
00:54:54.320 --> 00:54:59.199
make it a habit. That's when
I discussed k hits with a lot of

693
00:54:59.199 --> 00:55:02.960
my times in the restroom because I
know if if I have to go do

694
00:55:04.000 --> 00:55:07.159
something, then you text me,
it's got to do something business. And

695
00:55:07.280 --> 00:55:12.360
I also try to make it thank
you for that, and I try to

696
00:55:12.400 --> 00:55:15.159
make it a non habit of taking
my phone. You know, we have

697
00:55:15.199 --> 00:55:19.280
a rule with a family. When
we're eating at the table, there's no

698
00:55:19.320 --> 00:55:22.920
phones period. Well, we're at
a restaurant, we don't. The phones

699
00:55:22.920 --> 00:55:27.559
are put away. It's time for
you're at a funeral. Well, well,

700
00:55:27.639 --> 00:55:30.639
when we're at a funeral, don't
be taking selfies. Not the cast

701
00:55:30.639 --> 00:55:32.119
out. What the hell's wrong with
you? And what is you know,

702
00:55:32.159 --> 00:55:37.920
as George Carlin said, what the
heck is it with people and selfies?

703
00:55:37.440 --> 00:55:42.920
What you is it? Did you
just forget what you look like half a

704
00:55:42.960 --> 00:55:45.960
second ago that you have to look
at that moment? You know? People

705
00:55:46.159 --> 00:55:52.639
have people have stopped enjoying making memories
because they rather make a picture than a

706
00:55:52.719 --> 00:55:55.239
memory. I've sent you many a
selfies of me doing the work that I

707
00:55:55.280 --> 00:55:59.920
do during the day and asking you, please Lord shine upon us so I

708
00:56:00.079 --> 00:56:04.920
can go into radio full time and
get rid of this tool bag and get

709
00:56:04.960 --> 00:56:08.800
off of a two story lift to
where everyone looks like they're only three and

710
00:56:08.920 --> 00:56:16.599
just tall. Thank you. But
anyway, I have the biggest gripe against

711
00:56:17.039 --> 00:56:22.119
cell phone and technology of today.
Like I said, it's a blessing and

712
00:56:22.239 --> 00:56:28.360
now I agree with you wholeheartedly.
But here is the positive from a husband's

713
00:56:28.400 --> 00:56:35.440
point of view of your wife.
Okay, yeah, if your wife is

714
00:56:35.440 --> 00:56:39.639
talking way too much, then you
want to take in at the particular moment

715
00:56:40.159 --> 00:56:44.639
you pretend someone is calling you in
a business call or a business test.

716
00:56:45.559 --> 00:56:51.599
If your wife is angered or you
feel like getting away from listening to her

717
00:56:51.679 --> 00:56:55.239
rhetoric at the table, you can
easily go on to your sports network and

718
00:56:55.320 --> 00:57:00.280
watch some scores. You're possibly your
favorite team son right, Well, like

719
00:57:00.360 --> 00:57:04.000
sometimes you may need to go to
the restaurant in the middle of the night,

720
00:57:04.039 --> 00:57:07.199
but you are watching a Laker game, so you have to take the

721
00:57:07.280 --> 00:57:12.880
Laker game with you. Do you
see the positives of having a device at

722
00:57:12.880 --> 00:57:17.719
certain times? Once again, I
will agree it is very convenient. It

723
00:57:19.280 --> 00:57:22.840
is a blessing, but it's I
think for me, in my opinion,

724
00:57:22.920 --> 00:57:28.239
it is a bigger curse than it
is a blessing. Has it not helped

725
00:57:28.239 --> 00:57:31.400
people? Of course, of course
it's helped people. You know, who

726
00:57:31.440 --> 00:57:36.360
doesn't love that instead of breaking out
the Thomas Guide or a big gigantic map.

727
00:57:36.679 --> 00:57:40.000
Who doesn't like just typing in an
address and and the phone takes you

728
00:57:40.079 --> 00:57:45.159
antalks? You know? And I
just agree with you. GPS is not

729
00:57:45.239 --> 00:57:49.239
always correct. Sometimes you feel like
going, Sylvia, you dumb, which

730
00:57:49.599 --> 00:57:54.000
you're You're giving me directions to another
area in another state. I am going

731
00:57:54.039 --> 00:57:59.920
to throw this phone out now I
have insurance, Sylvia, where I would

732
00:58:00.079 --> 00:58:04.480
rather bust out Now I'm old school
Sylvia. Yeah, I name all my

733
00:58:02.880 --> 00:58:10.360
uh Sylvia. It just sexier you. Yeah, it's like you can get

734
00:58:10.360 --> 00:58:14.760
angry at the receptionist Sylvia. Where
am I files? God damn it,

735
00:58:15.320 --> 00:58:20.000
Sylvia. That is the wrong location. We're not in Missouri, Sylvia.

736
00:58:20.280 --> 00:58:22.199
You know, you just gotta give
him a name, personal name. That

737
00:58:22.320 --> 00:58:25.440
way, when you're in the car
and you're yelling at your GPS device like

738
00:58:25.639 --> 00:58:29.960
I do, people actually think you're
on a conference called Tiscano. Stay with

739
00:58:30.000 --> 00:58:34.719
me, Stay with me. It's
always acting first. They have no idea

740
00:58:34.760 --> 00:58:37.880
I'm yelling at the GPS girl that
I gave a fake name, who Sylvia.

741
00:58:38.079 --> 00:58:45.079
They think I'm yelling at Stacy,
who is really probably my personal assistant,

742
00:58:45.320 --> 00:58:50.559
who didn't carry out getting me the
red cherries instead of the blueberries.

743
00:58:51.000 --> 00:58:52.639
You know, something of that magnitude, of course, So you took me

744
00:58:52.719 --> 00:58:57.679
all off balance. As I was
stating, I do agree with you on

745
00:58:57.760 --> 00:59:01.280
your stand against technology on the cell
phone. I agree with you on so

746
00:59:01.320 --> 00:59:06.719
many levels of what you said,
probably all of them, but I will

747
00:59:06.719 --> 00:59:14.400
stand now there's certain things that are
nice about the devices. That's all I'm

748
00:59:14.440 --> 00:59:17.039
saying. No, of course,
well, once again I didn't say there

749
00:59:17.119 --> 00:59:21.719
wasn't, and you know there wasn't. I'm not saying that the phone is

750
00:59:22.119 --> 00:59:27.599
horrible totally. I mean, this
show dedicated to our what owns improv scripting.

751
00:59:27.719 --> 00:59:32.039
However, writing I am telling you
this though, that we the people,

752
00:59:32.239 --> 00:59:40.679
not the electronics people. Really okay, we are the ones that have

753
00:59:40.760 --> 00:59:46.679
made uh these these devices. Um, you know where we can't either with

754
00:59:46.760 --> 00:59:51.880
God. We're the ones who are
Yeah, we've made them our little tiny

755
00:59:51.920 --> 00:59:54.280
gods that we can fit in our
own little pocket. And if they're missing

756
00:59:54.320 --> 00:59:58.719
from our lives. Shoot, some
people would rather go back for their phone

757
00:59:58.760 --> 01:00:01.679
than go back for their you know
one, brother, The technology of today

758
01:00:01.800 --> 01:00:08.239
is very self exploiting of oneself with
selfies. Wherever they're at their vehicle,

759
01:00:08.480 --> 01:00:15.400
they're meal, they're clothing who they're
with. Now, some of them,

760
01:00:15.760 --> 01:00:19.119
it's good to see, it's cool
right on, you're having a good time.

761
01:00:19.440 --> 01:00:22.719
But in a way, it's it's
everybody's personal way of becoming famous for

762
01:00:22.840 --> 01:00:28.840
that one inclination of time, no
matter how many followers or friends you have.

763
01:00:29.280 --> 01:00:35.960
So it's kind of being accepted,
being put out there, in inhibited

764
01:00:36.840 --> 01:00:43.400
for all to see, within your
own social providing. So technology is the

765
01:00:43.440 --> 01:00:49.239
work of the demons, but also
the work of one's personal gain to promote

766
01:00:49.280 --> 01:00:53.280
themselves. Yeah, and you know
what, at the end of the day,

767
01:00:53.320 --> 01:00:58.800
look the way I see it,
nobody cares. I mean, people

768
01:00:58.840 --> 01:01:01.480
think, oh, I'm gonna take
the selfie and post it because people want

769
01:01:01.480 --> 01:01:07.039
to see. Look, nobody cares. Nobody cares to see what you ate.

770
01:01:07.679 --> 01:01:14.480
Nobody cares to see your feet hanging
out in the beach. Look you

771
01:01:14.599 --> 01:01:19.559
care, And that's fine, right
that that's okay for you. But I

772
01:01:19.679 --> 01:01:28.599
have the biggest, biggest thing against
selfies. I hate selfies and look,

773
01:01:28.639 --> 01:01:31.840
I like taking pictures once in a
while, but there's people that take so

774
01:01:31.880 --> 01:01:39.280
many pictures, so many pictures that
I know, I don't want to say,

775
01:01:39.480 --> 01:01:43.079
you know, I don't want to
give give away what or who I'm

776
01:01:43.119 --> 01:01:46.679
talking about, but there's people who
don't even let their family breathe when they

777
01:01:46.719 --> 01:01:51.199
go out, and their family is
going to end up hating them, because

778
01:01:51.440 --> 01:01:53.840
you know, you want to enjoy
where you go. But if if every

779
01:01:53.880 --> 01:01:58.000
step you're gonna take a picture,
because now you're at a different corner,

780
01:01:58.039 --> 01:02:00.880
you're a different scene, that's a
different thing in front of you, and

781
01:02:00.920 --> 01:02:02.360
you got to take a picture,
I mean, give me a break.

782
01:02:02.440 --> 01:02:07.159
I mean no, it's just you
know what, it's not me anyway.

783
01:02:07.840 --> 01:02:10.400
This has been the one and only
back to the eighties radio show. I'm

01:02:10.480 --> 01:02:15.559
