hundred dollars. That's right, Kirk.
40
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:36.759

41
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:40.319
Are you ready? I was born

00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:51.719

I'm gonna get my whole picture. I'm

00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:53.080
ready. Are you ready to go? I'm gonna go with a speed.
45
00:03:53.560 --> 00:04:01.680
I here we go all the way
around like a merry go round, like
46
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:08.759
a vergian Oh bright, For the
grand prize of twenty five hundred dollars,
47
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:14.319
Kirk, Here is the question in
the eighties, the band The Bengals had
48
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:21.160
a number one song called Manic Monday. Who wrote Manic Monday? Was it
49
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:30.560
a Susannah Hoffs b Axel Rose Ce
bon Jovi or was it D Prince.
50
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:35.480
I'm gonna have to go with that
gorgeous creature, Susannah Hoff. I had
51
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:40.759
naked posters of her in my own
mind. What a great ben I've seen
52
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:44.000
them. Christ it's a jupadur.
What are you gonna do? Lay it
53
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:47.319
on me? I know I'm a
winner, Susannah hopf for the big dollars.
54
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.800
Who I hate to say this,
Kirk, but not only did you
55
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:57.600
lose and you did not get to
sit, spin and enjoy, but now
56
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:02.480
you owe sit, sit and enjoy
twenty five hundred dollars because the correct answer
57
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:09.240
is D Prince. What that's right? Prince wrote that very famous song called
58
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:13.879
Manic Monday. You know what,
you can sit on it and spin.
59
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.879
I don't believe Prince wrote that song. I think I think you're lying because
60
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:20.680
you don't want to cop up the
bunny. I think that's what's going on
61
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:24.759
if you look it up. It
was an American pop rock band called The
62
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:29.680
Bengals who first released that song but
the writer himself in nineteen eighty four,
63
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:34.759
was written by American musician Prince using
the pseudonym Christopher, and was originally intended
64
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:41.879
for the group Apollonia six in nineteen
eighty four. Oh Man, Devin,
65
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:45.079
she was gorgeous too. But I'll
tell you what, Kirk. We're gonna
66
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:47.079
give you one more chance to redeem
yourself. Are you ready? Let's go
67
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:51.759
ahead and have you spin that wheel
one more time. Here's the bonus round.
68
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:55.279
Let's go, Bonus round, Bonus
round. Here we go, Here
69
00:05:55.279 --> 00:06:06.720
we go, Hello out, keep
the bones, keep it all. Writing
70
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:14.319
for the grand finale question, the
bonus ran in the nineteen eighties, who
71
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:19.199
was the greatest metal band? And
what was the greatest hit of that metal
72
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:25.639
band? I gotta say that this
has gotta the cutest priest by all time
73
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:29.519
favorite screaming for vengeance. And if
that's not it, Devin, you can
74
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:33.199
kiss a monkey's butt and sit on
spin on it, because I'm betting everything
75
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:39.439
in the bank that that's correct,
and I want Ncdonald's bucks. If I
76
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:45.319
were Donald, you Kirk are corrected. And now Kirk as the grand prize.
77
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:46.360
Not only do you get twenty five
hundred dollars, but you also get
78
00:06:46.399 --> 00:07:15.399
a free trip back to the eighties. Back I'm Captain Loggins and your Ronald
79
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:30.000
Cruise. You're listening to Back to
the Eighties, Well, that's the right,
80
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:33.240
ladies and gentlemen. This is the
one and only Back to the Eighties
81
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:36.360
Radio just kind of on Chang with
you. We are bringing the nostalgic moments
82
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:44.040
and sharing those memories that made that
decade the greatest decade of all. Thank
83
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:46.000
you for joining us. Happy weekend
to you guys. I want to give
84
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:51.240
a very special shout out to a
very special group of people listening to us
85
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:56.680
directly from Spain, from Espana Chang. Believe it or not, there is
86
00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:03.240
a restaurant called sufre Mamon. Fremamon
is an eighties and nineties based restaurant that
87
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.720
opened up during COVID in Spain,
and they wrote a special note this past
88
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.199
week, and I wanted to give
them a very special shout out, especially
89
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:15.120
because they're inviting us to have some
drinks over there and say it's a bar
90
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.600
and grilled type of restaurant. So
a big shout out to you guys.
91
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:28.800
I'm gonna say it in Spanish too. Back to the Eighties and for those
92
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.720
of you who just heard me say
something that made no sense to you,
93
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:35.399
I basically said, thanks for listening
to Back to the Eighties. Chang.
94
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:41.200
It's so good man to be able
to breathe a breath of fresh air.
95
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:45.799
And I'll tell you why. Back
to the Eighties is not a political show
96
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:50.480
whatsoever. You will never know who
I voted for or if I voted for
97
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:54.919
somebody. That's not the point.
The point is that we can slowly,
98
00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:01.360
slowly, slowly start getting back into
the normalcy of life for at least a
99
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:05.960
while. And although there's still a
lot a lot of things that are going
100
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.600
to happen between now and January the
twentieth, look it is what it is.
101
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.399
So thank you for joining us on
this beautiful weekend here back to the
102
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:18.039
Eighties. You deserve all the best, and Chang, I couldn't do this
103
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.559
without you, my friend. We
are like the Lone Ranger and Tonto,
104
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:24.399
and sometimes we just switch. Sometimes
I'm Tonto, you're the Lone Ranger,
105
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:30.720
and sometimes it's vice versa. I
think it's a fit to say that I
106
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:35.799
concur with everything you said, and
you know we're not partial to whoever you
107
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.120
voted for. That's not we're all
about. We can breathe a little bit
108
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:48.039
sounder because it just feels like a
great relief to the majority of America.
109
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:52.120
And you know, whatever side you're
on, and remember you can have you
110
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.600
cannot let hate be your faith.
That is the number one thing that we
111
00:09:54.639 --> 00:10:00.360
have to watch out for. No
matter what political party or what you even.
112
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:03.799
We have to not let hate be
our fate. We have to learn
113
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:09.240
how to get along like adults and
work things out because we are one race,
114
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:15.519
the human race. Now, welcome
to the show, and happy Friday,
115
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:20.919
Happy Saturday, and happy Sunday to
everybody out there. And if you're
116
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:24.000
football fans, let's go Rams play
in Seattle. That's right. I'm giving
117
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:31.440
my homage to my beautiful home of
Los Angeles, California. And Toscano,
118
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:37.159
I must mention that my Lakers and
my Daggers are world champions, that's right,
119
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:43.720
not divisional champions, not champions in
their own mind, but the world
120
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.320
champions. Well, this is the
one I'm only back into the eighties radio
121
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:50.759
show with Toscano and Chank. I
want to remind you guys that we do
122
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:54.919
have a Facebook page. Go ahead
and join us there. We also have
123
00:10:54.120 --> 00:11:00.159
a Patreon page. If you guys, go to our Patreon page and help
124
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.960
us out. It really lets us
keep doing this show. We're doing it
125
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.320
for you. We're doing it for
us as well. During this time of
126
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:11.360
COVID and during these times that are
just man. I heard a lot of
127
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:13.559
people saying these past weeks, man, if I could, if if the
128
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:18.279
whole time machine thing were real,
I would go back. I would definitely
129
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.799
go back to the eighties. So
I want you to don't forget take us
130
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.480
wherever you go every single Friday by
downloading back to the eighties on your phone,
131
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:30.879
on your computer, on your tablet, whatever it is, or listen
132
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:33.519
to us in your restaurant, just
like sum on the restaurant over there in
133
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.480
Spain. By the way, Chank, do you know what sure means?
134
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:43.960
You know what? No? Enlighten
me maman. It has another definition when
135
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:50.000
you say maman when you come from
the balio like myself. But enlighten our
136
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:56.679
listeners on exactly what that means in
English? Please, my brother, go
137
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:01.879
right well, Summon, the word
sure means to suffer, and the word
138
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:07.519
mamoon basically means you jerk. And
you could go on and on and call
139
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:11.360
it other other names, but basically, to make it light, it means
140
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:16.080
jerk. But the name of the
restaurant is named Sufre Mammon, which is
141
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:20.120
a song written by Omba as Hey
back in the eighties. This is a
142
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:24.360
very popular Spanish band. I believe
it was in nineteen eighty seven that they
143
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:26.759
came out, or in nineteen eighty
nine. The song was released in nineteen
144
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:31.679
eighty nine. It was a funk
It was post punk, kind of skyish,
145
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:35.720
you know that type of song.
And the song says, you know,
146
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:39.200
it's about a girl, and I
guess the guy's talking to another guy
147
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:41.360
and he just says, you know
what you suffer? I got the girl
148
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:46.080
now and that's that. So a
big, big, big shout out to
149
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.240
that place over there in Spain,
by the way, Chang. I do
150
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:52.200
hope that we get a chance to
go there. You know, that would
151
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:56.240
be fabulous if we ended up getting
to go to Spain and then we could
152
00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:01.679
probably sit there, have some drinks, have some great cuisine, and possibly
153
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:05.919
do our show from there, which
I think it's almost like the commercial in
154
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:13.080
the eighties of CERTs two two two
mentioned one. Yeah, you know what,
155
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:18.919
one of these things we got to
do an eighties commercial show. Yeah,
156
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:22.279
we'll talk about all those commercials that. You know. It's funny because
157
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:24.840
back then we used to think these
commercials, oh man, if I hate
158
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:26.840
when they come on, you know, they take up most of the time.
159
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.440
But now we look at these commercials
on YouTube and we kind of it
160
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:35.840
gets us feeling nostalgic. Right,
do you remember mister Whipple, Please don't
161
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:41.039
squeeze, Yes, please don't squeeze
the Charman. Yeah, absolutely, And
162
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:45.799
then I believe the snuggle Bearer came
out in the eighties or was that in
163
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:50.679
the nineties. You know what I
forgot what obnoxious thing was coming out about
164
00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:54.840
toilet paperback then. And remember,
don't be hoarding toilet paper out there.
165
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:56.639
We're you know, we don't need
a hoard toilet now. No, no,
166
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:00.360
no no. If we have to
go back into lockdown, do not
167
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:07.799
hoard toilet paper. Whatever you do, use leaves. Please. We got
168
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.440
a great show. When we come
back, there's more Tiscano and Chang and
169
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:16.360
Back to the eighties. Don't go
away because we're talking about eighties game shows.
170
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:33.440
You're listening to Back to the eighties
day by Pals. Tiscano and Chang
171
00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:37.360
went to school in the eighties and
that was cool. But now they're going
172
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:41.519
back. That's right, and you
can tag along with Back to the Eighties
173
00:14:41.639 --> 00:15:00.360
Radio. Welcome back to the Tiscano
and Chang Attack right here at Back to
174
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:03.600
the Eighties, where we want to
give you a little bit of heaven,
175
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:07.720
a little bit of happiness, and
a whole lot of eighties. Today's topic,
176
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:11.559
we're talking about eighties game shows now, Tiscontell. I think we could
177
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:18.759
easily do two shows of this topic
alone because there was so many great shows
178
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:22.320
back then. Yeah, and it
was. It was you could call it
179
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:26.159
a national pastime. People that used
to watch game shows. Now, let
180
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:28.559
me ask you, did you ever
go to an actual game show like yourself
181
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:33.279
or did you know anybody who ever
did go to a game show? And
182
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:35.440
if so, did you win anything? As a matter of fact, I
183
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:39.440
had a buddy of mine that went
on, Let's make a Deal. Oh
184
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:45.799
yes, now that actually game show
that I've always was hoping to try to
185
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:50.240
participate in. But as most people
have to do, you got to do
186
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:52.360
the work grind, and now I
was never really to get away able to
187
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:56.399
get away from work and go on
Let's make a Deal. I also had
188
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:00.559
a friend that went on the price
is right with Bob Barker, of course,
189
00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:06.639
yeah, of course not Dre Drew
carry Drew Gerry, you know,
190
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:12.360
with with Bob Barker. So uh, I mean game shows. I recall
191
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:18.840
uh sometimes getting together with friends and
playing that game show along with them at
192
00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:22.360
home. Yeah. I don't know
if you ever did that. You know,
193
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:26.759
sometimes you play Let's make a deal. Sometime Let's make a deal,
194
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:32.240
but sometimes you there's so many uh
uh the what was the name of that
195
00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:36.480
one game, the ten thousand dollars
Pyramid or yeah, yeah, Well I'll
196
00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:38.919
tell you what. We're gonna go
over these games in a lot more tonight,
197
00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:41.639
and let's do something. I thought
i'd do something kind of exciting,
198
00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:45.720
because what we're gonna do is we're
gonna play the theme songs and hopefully have
199
00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:51.759
you guess, and we're gonna talk
about and kind of disseminate what those games
200
00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:55.159
were about. And and you know, there's some games that I was really
201
00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:57.720
not into, but I know that
a lot of people were. So what
202
00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:03.200
say we get started and here is
the very first game show. So transport
203
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:07.640
yourself back to the eighties, and
you tell me if you ever saw this
204
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:11.880
show. Something tells me that you
saw the show just to get jokes and
205
00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:15.720
material for your stand up routines.
Here you go, Oh no, I
206
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:34.519
did. Oh that's right. This
was a game show that pitted newly married
207
00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:40.079
couples against each other to test them
to see who knows each other better.
208
00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:45.599
The game had two rounds full of
revealing questions that would expose how much spouses
209
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:48.000
really knew about their partners. But
unlike any other game show, the newly
210
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:52.720
Wood game had a grand prize,
and it was not a lump of cash.
211
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:57.480
Instead, it was usually household appliances
that Beep requested before they started the
212
00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:03.079
game. His cat forget Bob Eubank, I mean that wit, that boy,
213
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:10.200
that hair, I mean he improp
with every couple I think that went
214
00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:15.880
on that joke. You know,
they used such a kind of safe words
215
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:21.039
like makin whoopee. That was just
one of the greatest shows of all time.
216
00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:23.880
Man, I used to watch it. It's funny because that show first
217
00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:29.599
aired. We're talking. This was
an old show back when it When I
218
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:32.960
used to watch it once in a
while in the eighties, it was already
219
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:36.799
old. It was from nineteen sixty
six. But when I caught it.
220
00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:38.720
Yeah, when I caught it,
it was Bob Eubank said, what was
221
00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:45.920
definitely a show that people were attracted
to a single and married couples would watch
222
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:51.599
this show. And you're right.
It was Bob Eubanks who later on for
223
00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:57.759
many many years went on to host
the Los Angeles the Pasadena Rose Parade.
224
00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:03.160
Yes he did. He used to
do that with Uh. Oh, I
225
00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:10.480
forget the uh Stephanie Edwards, Stephanie
Edwards, that's right? Is she also
226
00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:17.440
corrected to do a commercial for a
certain market, Uh industry? I forgot,
227
00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:22.960
I forgot the name. Wasn't it
Alphabeta? No? Was it?
228
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:27.079
It was Lucky's. How many people
I remember? Lucky's a market basket?
229
00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:30.559
And uh, oh my gosh,
you just threw me a way back.
230
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:33.319
You know what we have to do
this one of these shows, we're gonna
231
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:38.319
have to talk about supermarkets and uh
yeah, because that that's crazy. Yeah,
232
00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:44.039
supermarkets and stores like little friendly mum
and pop shops. Uh like the
233
00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:47.880
Wonder Store. Remember the Wonder Bakery? Oh yeah, I remember the Wonder
234
00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:52.319
Bakery. Remember Woolworth, J C. Penny's and Sears. Who. Yeah,
235
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:56.680
So we'll definitely, we will definitely
talk about all of them all right.
236
00:19:56.759 --> 00:20:02.160
So yeah, that was the newly
Wit Game and I used to love
237
00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:06.160
that show. My mom and dad
used to love that show and we had
238
00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:07.920
a lot of fun. Now once
Cable started rolling in, then you had
239
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:14.599
a lot more options, right,
including one for children, and this one
240
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:30.279
went like this. This show was
a game show called Double Dare. It
241
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:37.920
was released on CBS, and it
included two teams that competed to win cash
242
00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:45.400
and prizes by answering trivia questions completing
messy stunts known as physical challenges. It
243
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:49.160
originally ran from nineteen eighty six to
nineteen ninety three, and they later revived
244
00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:55.440
it in the year two thousand and
so on. But you'll remember the presenter
245
00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:59.559
was Mark Summers, remember him.
Ah, yes, Mark Summers. That's
246
00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:03.799
what I used to watch that show
with my girls when my three girls were
247
00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:07.559
younger than I remember. We would
watch it up until it went into the
248
00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:12.279
nineties. Now, I'm not sure
if this is the same show or if
249
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:18.359
Mark Somers took on another show,
but that's where the famous sliming took place.
250
00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:22.480
That is right, You're absolutely right. It was. It was a
251
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:27.279
great, great show because it also
had families going up against each other.
252
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:33.039
They had the Double Dare and Super
Sloppy Doubledare, and they consisted of two
253
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:40.240
kids, while teams on Family Doubledare
and Doubledare two thousand. I mean,
254
00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:45.160
originally both teams wore red uniforms,
but after Doubledare entered syndication in nineteen eighty
255
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:49.720
eight, there was a blue team
and a red team always, and you're
256
00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:53.799
right, whenever you got something wrong
or you lost, you were slimed.
257
00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:59.759
Yes, my brother. I mean, dude, it's so funny because the
258
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:03.359
eighties for myself, I was a
teenager through the eighties, so I had
259
00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:07.480
my share of the wildness, but
so many great memories of being a father.
260
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:11.039
Also very lucky to raise my children
in that era, you know what
261
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:14.519
I mean. A lot of great
TV, a lot of great cartoons back
262
00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:19.039
then too, Brennan Stimpy all.
I believe it was Nickelodeon. If I'm
263
00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:22.079
that's right, to be correct,
that's right, it was. You are
264
00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:26.559
in fact correct, My friend is
right. My brother and Nickelodeon hit it
265
00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:33.200
really really big because that demographic of
you know here in the United States really
266
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:37.279
blew up. I mean, there
were kids everywhere wanted to get Nickelodeon and
267
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:44.359
watch game shows like double dare now
onto another type of game. But now
268
00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:49.359
this was the other side of the
spectrum, which was it was where people
269
00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:57.559
were looking for love. This is
Jack, who says he's always a gentleman.
270
00:22:57.559 --> 00:23:00.519
On the first day we shall be
video. Okay, So these three
271
00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:04.160
single women and a big one is
his day. Which one did he choose?
272
00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:10.400
Which one with our audience dues?
And this is Deborah. She described
273
00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:17.559
herself as an unpredictable ex tomboy.
Which which one with our audience choose?
274
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:22.559
Today? On Love Connection you'll find
out who they picked, who the audience
275
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:26.839
pixed, and everything that happened on
their dates. No, you're not score
276
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:32.279
about Love Connection is our house,
Jock? Why that's right, Chuck Woolery.
277
00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:34.200
Do you remember the Love Connection?
Right? Oh? Man, I
278
00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:41.839

missus Chang and stuff knew it. That's
279
00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:45.279
right, great hair, Yep,
that was a great show. As a
280
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:51.160
matter of fact, you it was
very uh I kind of uh chuck it
281
00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:55.599
up to being like a reality TV
before it got a little bit assinine.
282
00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:00.720
Yes, Love Connection's main premise was
to arrange day for couples, so a
283
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:06.000
guest appeared on the show after going
on a date. So the guests,
284
00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:10.759
the whole game was after the date, right, So a guest appeared on
285
00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:15.160
the show after going on a date
with one of three contestants, then after
286
00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:21.640
having chosen on the basis of the
contestants videotaped profiles after the date. The
287
00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:26.440
televised appearance, you know was was
obviously scheduled. But the but the funny
288
00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:30.559
thing is you used to I remember
you You're watching the show and you're thinking,

290
00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:37.319
one of the girls, depending on
what they said on the video, and
291
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:41.759
then you had a guess. Yeah, you know what would be Christine if
292
00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:48.880
Tuskanawan Chang came up with our own

think you would have fared well. No,
299
00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:27.559
no, I didn't like you know, it wasn't for me. I
300
00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:30.160
did enjoy, but this was going
back to the seventies. I did like
301
00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:33.519
the dating game, even though I
was a kid watching the game that one
302
00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:37.839
I liked. I think if I
would have been on a love connection,
303
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:41.039
I think I would have had a
ball, I really do. I think
304
00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:44.640
I would have had to go on
three or four dates before I could actually
305
00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:51.519
come up with enough information to be
very positive and loving. Though it would
306
00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:53.440
have taken a couple. I don't
know what they would have thought with you
307
00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:57.160
going on the dates. I would
have been insane. You would have been
308
00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:00.960
insane, man Chuck. She put
out on the first jake. She's a
309
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:03.440
skank. I can't have it.
I'm heavily devouted Christian. I just don't
310
00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:07.319
need it. She smelled like an
ashtray, but she paid for everything.
311
00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:11.519
Here is another game show from the
eighties. Finale was made twenty third,
312
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:19.440
nineteen eighty six and the host the
host of this show was Wink Martindale and
313
00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:33.960
this was the show. The show
was called Tic Tac Doe and it went
314
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:38.759
on for It went on for seven
seasons, then left in nineteen eighty five
315
00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:45.119
to host another creation, headline Chasers
and But it was basically a game show
316
00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:52.400
based on the game tic tac Toe. Contestants would answer questions in various categories
317
00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:56.599
to put their respective symbol X and
os on the board and whoever did you
318
00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:02.160
know? Whoever won the tic tac
toe game would win different cash prizes and
319
00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:07.799
things like that. I was a
pretty popular game, very Oh my gosh,
320
00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:11.480
it was very catchy because everybody liked
to play TikTok toe back then.
321
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:15.519
Yeah. And the thing is it
was so complex and easy to play along
322
00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:18.839
on home because, like you just
said, who didn't play tic tac toll
323
00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:22.359
when they were growing up? You
didn't in school? You did it.
324
00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:27.319
Sometimes you would do it by yourself, you know what. So that's right,
325
00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:32.839
it would be hard to beat yourself. The name alone, Wink Martindale.
326
00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:37.680
That is a classic game show host
name, you know, Wink Martine.
327
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:42.400
Yeah, Wink wink wink. You
know. Speaking of game shows,
328
00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:48.000
Before we go on to our next
one, let's take a quick couple of
329
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:52.160
seconds a moment of silence to the
late great Alex Trebec, host of Jeopardy
330
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:57.920
for decades upon decades, who lost
his battle to cancer. I believe it
331
00:27:57.960 --> 00:28:02.799
was eighty years old. Anybody out
there that was a great fan of Jeopardy
332
00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:06.240
or the man himself, we hear
it back to the eighties. One to
333
00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:11.079
spay. It's been special homage and
a tribute and up to his spirit as
334
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:14.240
he goes off to up and they
had a thank you for everything you did
335
00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:18.559
for us. You very intelligent man, a great host, and that show
336
00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:22.440
will probably never ever be the same. I don't think we'll ever see another
337
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:29.720
game show host as great as a
mister tebec are heard out, you're right.
338
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:37.720
Jeopardy was a fantastic show that first
aired on September tenth, nineteen eighty
339
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:41.559
four, and it was It was
a classic game show, but it had
340
00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:48.319
a little twist because the answers were
given out first and the contestants just supplied
341
00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:52.640
the questions. So the whole idea
of the game was that the contestants would
342
00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:59.359
give you the questions, not the
answers, so there'd be three this You
343
00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:03.920
had to have mental left, you
had to have some intelligence when you played
344
00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:06.599
that. But I'll tell you what
you know. You know what I found
345
00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:10.799
out later, bro, I found
out that that game show they would give
346
00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:14.200
you before you'd go on the show, they'd give you all the answers.
347
00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:18.559
Really, so yeah, so I
guess it would be the person that memorized
348
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:26.279
the most. But somebody told me
that that game show was rich because they
349
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:30.640
said they said that somebody that they
knew had gone that they gave that person
350
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:33.559
all the answers way before the game
show. They just take them from you
351
00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:38.480
the day off, so you don't
obviously you can't see. You just have
352
00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:44.400
to remember. And that's why you
thought everybody was so darned smart on that
353
00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:48.119
show. That is like opening up
a hot container of cottage cheese on a
354
00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:53.480
ninety degree day. Bro, that
just sucks now that I know that thought
355
00:29:53.480 --> 00:30:02.599
of a monkey. If you,
our listener, are aware of this show
356
00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:07.200
being other you know, played another
way, or this person that told me
357
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:11.039
was a liar, please right into
the show. Give us your version or
358
00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:15.119
your story. I'd be more than
happy to talk about it. Now.
359
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:18.680
I can't tell you that that's the
way it was, but that is what
360
00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:22.680
I was told. So it was
a letdown for me because I was going
361
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:26.720
like, Wow, no wonder and
I thought all these people were that just
362
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:33.640
that smart. Well, I'm having
an attack. I hate that guy.
363
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:38.119
I hate that news. I hate
hearing that. I hate that reality.
364
00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:44.920
Hate hate, don't hate on now
it's Trabecca. I'll hate you twice as
365
00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:52.440
much every now and then I get
those hate hate attacks. It's terrible you
366
00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:56.680
do. So that's the idea.
But yes, we lost a great one
367
00:30:56.720 --> 00:31:03.640
there. He hosted Alex tre hosted
Jeopardy for thirty six years. He was
368
00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:07.680
definitely one of a kind. He
was a comforting presence, improved, being
369
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:12.920
smart, was seriously cool until until
I found out that they gave the answers
370
00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:18.319
away, and then it everything changed. I ruined it for you, didn't
371
00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:21.279
I ruin it for you? I
knew I ruined it for you. That
372
00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:30.559
hurt as much as me finding out
Rock Hudson was gating. Oh my goodess.
373
00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:33.440
You know you just brought me back
to my childhood because in elementary school,
374
00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:37.960
I would say nineteen eighty, yeah, around nineteen eighty I think I
375
00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:42.079
was in the fourth or fifth grade. I remember my my history teacher,
376
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:49.039
mister Clark. He told the whole
class, he told the whole class,
377
00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:56.279
what do you call Rock Hudson in
a wheelchair? And he goes rollads,
378
00:31:56.400 --> 00:32:02.359
oh man, yeah, that was
in the fifth grade. Ladies and gentlemen,
379
00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:07.799
thank you mister Clark, who is
probably not alive today, but anywhere
380
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:09.079
listen to go ahead and take a
quick break. Well, we come back
381
00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:17.480
back to the eighties, continues the
game show Clark is a jackass you're listening
382
00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:21.720
to back to the eighties, taking
you on a trip to him better time,
383
00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:24.240
a time when America used to win
at things, When we won the
384
00:32:24.279 --> 00:32:30.200
Cold War by arming Afghanistan, When
we beat rushing boxers by jugging in the
385
00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:34.599
woods, when a welder could become
a dancer, when a poor immigrant could
386
00:32:34.599 --> 00:32:42.480
become to the power of music,
a guru to a generation. And now
387
00:32:42.839 --> 00:32:45.799
back to the eighties with Toscano and
Chang, we are back here, back
388
00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:50.920
to the eighties, to Kano and
Chang with you. Happy Friday, Happy
389
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:54.359
Saturday, Happy Sunday to you guys, wherever you are and whoever you are
390
00:32:54.839 --> 00:33:00.319
listening to us from anywhere in the
world. I want to give you guys
391
00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:05.960
a big shout out. If you

392
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:10.559
guys are from Germany listening to us
from Australia, from let's name a few
393
00:33:10.559 --> 00:33:14.039
countries. Chang, because that's one
of the things that we didn't do today.
394
00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:16.799
In that's name a few of the
countries that listen to us. Take
395
00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:21.880
your pick. I mean people are
listening to us all over the place.
396
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:25.960
Let's let's give a big Let's give
a shout out to Austra, all those
397
00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:31.279
Austrians outside that are taking in to
Skano and Chang. What else do you
398
00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:37.880
do? Are you going to the
shout out to people in Kenya, Pakistan?
399
00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:39.720
And also, my friend, I
want to give a big shout out
400
00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:43.599
to the people in Saudi Arabia.
Okay, they're listening to us right now.
401
00:33:43.720 --> 00:33:47.640
We're lucky to you. A big
shout out to don't worry, we
402
00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:51.839
got rid of the dance guy.
Big shout out to people listening to us
403
00:33:51.839 --> 00:33:55.079
from Qatar, from Hong Kong,
and now maybe can you believe people from
404
00:33:55.119 --> 00:33:59.680
the Maybe you are listening to us. Now that's insane. I can imagine
405
00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:01.720
those four people because they're probably only
four of them, and they're probably listening
406
00:34:01.720 --> 00:34:06.119
to each other, you know,
together, they're at a group party,
407
00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:08.320
maybe in an apartment. They're listening
to us right now. How are you
408
00:34:08.360 --> 00:34:13.760
guys doing? The four of you? It's probably one gamer in his mom's
409
00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:16.079
basement. I want to also give
a big shout out to people listening to
410
00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:22.400
us from Brazil, Belgium, Indonesia, Singapore, Finland, and Denmark.
411
00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:25.519
Next week we'll give more shout outs
to everybody listening to us from around the
412
00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:30.119
world. Oh you didn't say,
how do you get the people in Germany?
413
00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:34.880
Oh? Yes, I want to
give the special shout out to people
414
00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:39.000
listening to us from the land,
from the doctor's land, the people who
415
00:34:39.079 --> 00:34:45.679
are inspiring the vaccinations for the anti
zombies. Thank you. Here in the
416
00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:51.119
United States, we are going to
thank you for for everything the Germans do.
417
00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:54.920
That's right. We want to thank
you for some of your best brules
418
00:34:54.960 --> 00:35:01.199
that you have sent us when it
is the forty degree. All right.
419
00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:06.320
Back in the eighties, we are
talking about game shows from the eighties.
420
00:35:07.400 --> 00:35:09.239
Was there a game show? Not
gonna tell you. I had one of
421
00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:14.360
my aunts went on this following game
show, and when she was called up,
422
00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:19.039
she was one of those My aunt
is a little bit well back then,
423
00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:23.679
she was a little heavier set,
and she's got that crazy attitude and
424
00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:28.519
just wild and you know, I'm
sure that when she was a teenager,
425
00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:31.519
she was probably the class clown or
something like that, but so she she
426
00:35:31.519 --> 00:35:35.960
she grew up like that. It's
very happy all the time, wonderful,
427
00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:43.079
wonderful human being. And she went
to this following a game show that maybe
428
00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:52.239
you can guess what it was,
Josephine Vealezuela, Come on down, You're
429
00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:58.920
the next contestant home. The price
is right. Who can forget the prices
430
00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:05.159
of rights? With Bob Barker.
Bob Barker, the Ladies Man. That
431
00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:10.000
man is also a great humanitarian for
all the work he did with animals,
432
00:36:10.639 --> 00:36:16.000
But Bob Barker. I was very
sad and dishearted when Bob Barker decided to
433
00:36:16.039 --> 00:36:21.119
retire and Drew Carry took over because
I kept expecting Drew Carry I have a
434
00:36:21.199 --> 00:36:23.039
drink or a cigarette in his hand
and give me maybe five minutes of a
435
00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:28.840
set. But you know, that
was one of my favorite game shows of
436
00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:32.199
all time, and only because I
used to have to go marketing a lot,
437
00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:36.840
and I went with my mom.
Then later when me and my sister
438
00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:39.000
were living together, I had my
sister worked at Lucky's. That's why I'm
439
00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:45.760
so familiar with Stephanie Edwards that I
used to go and you know, having
440
00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:49.440
to shop on my own brother that
is a game that I would play at
441
00:36:49.440 --> 00:36:52.920
home by myself in front of my
friends. It didn't matter. I had
442
00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:57.199
always wanted a goal on that game
and nail it. I mean, just
443
00:36:57.480 --> 00:37:02.880
dial it within pennies so the price
is right. The Prices Right aired over
444
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:09.960
nine thousand episodes since it first debuted. It it was it was one of
445
00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:15.280
the longest running network series in the
United States, and it was cool because
446
00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:22.559
the show revolves around contestants completing by
identifying accurate pricing of merchandise to win cash
447
00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:27.519
and prizes. So basically, you
have a bunch of contestants sitting down.
448
00:37:27.559 --> 00:37:30.119
So if they called you at random
from the audience, which is what they
449
00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:35.639
did, then you'd go up to
sit with the other contestants in front of
450
00:37:35.960 --> 00:37:40.159
the I guess the pricing machine.
They'd show a certain prize and you'd have
451
00:37:40.199 --> 00:37:45.440
to guess, and the contestant that
showed the closest too, or if maybe
452
00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:49.159
they got it exact, they would
get a chance to participate in the show
453
00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:54.800
by guessing at prices for some other
stuff and they actually won really cool prizes.
454
00:37:55.280 --> 00:38:00.840
I remember that was probably one of
the biggest That was probably the game
455
00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:05.719
show that offered the biggest prizes.
Do you remember, especially the two last
456
00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:08.360
contestants that made it to the grand
finale. At the end, I mean
457
00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:14.400
they gave away cars, vacations.
I mean they would furnish your home.
458
00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:17.519
The game was pretty awesome. I
think it was probably one of the best
459
00:38:17.559 --> 00:38:23.400
game shows. That's why it stood
the test of time. But it kind
460
00:38:23.440 --> 00:38:30.679
of gave to your everyday citizen,
you know what I mean. You could
461
00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:36.039
be a renter, a homeowner,
you could be a din't. It didn't
462
00:38:36.039 --> 00:38:38.440
matter if you were a single parent
or a parent, or even if you
463
00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:44.960
had kids. Just to show that
everybody can identify with because everybody has shopped
464
00:38:45.239 --> 00:38:49.199
at one point of time. So
why not go to a game show that
465
00:38:49.360 --> 00:38:53.480
is as comfortable as going into a
market or reading your coupons and winning some
466
00:38:53.519 --> 00:38:57.559
big bucks. I mean, what
a great idea for a game show.
467
00:38:58.360 --> 00:39:04.239
Now, Isn't The Prices Right?
And Jeopardy two of the longest running game
468
00:39:04.320 --> 00:39:08.480
shows that go back almost four decades? And I un I think you're right.
469
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:14.519
As a matter of fact, I
think the game show The Prices Right?
470
00:39:14.559 --> 00:39:19.480
At least it first premiered September fourth, nineteen seventy two. So this
471
00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:22.079
show went on for a long time. By the way, I told you,
472
00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:24.920
my aunt went on the show.
She won a washer and dryer.
473
00:39:25.679 --> 00:39:29.880
Nice, so that was that was
nice. You know, she didn't go
474
00:39:29.960 --> 00:39:35.800
any further than that. She didn't
really learn her prizes or woolpool. I
475
00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:42.320
have no idea brother, maybe ge
you want to hear something funny and interesting.
476
00:39:42.360 --> 00:39:45.719
Here's an interesting fact in that show. The most famous model because they
477
00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:51.480
had models right showing off the merchandise. I don't know her name. She
478
00:39:51.599 --> 00:39:55.079
was the one of the blonde models
or she was the most famous model on
479
00:39:55.119 --> 00:40:01.079
that show. It was later found
out that a model's husband had been killed.
480
00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:08.119
He was a CIA operative, so
basically he was a spy. So
481
00:40:08.159 --> 00:40:14.440
one of the one of the models
on the price's right was married to a
482
00:40:14.599 --> 00:40:17.599
spy. That's an interesting fact.
It goes to show you that here in
483
00:40:17.599 --> 00:40:22.519
the United States, you can be
a spy and you can have a wife
484
00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:27.039
that works in a game show.
Now, that is an awesome life.
485
00:40:27.079 --> 00:40:30.239
Everyone knows your wife, but they
don't know you. Hey, Chuscono,
486
00:40:30.559 --> 00:40:35.880
Can I go ahead and mention the
top five game shows in the eighties?
487
00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:38.119
Do you want to hear this really
quick? Let's hear it Okay, you're
488
00:40:38.119 --> 00:40:43.800
gonna have to get Sergio to get
us a drum roll. And number five
489
00:40:43.960 --> 00:40:49.000
starts off with the Wheel of Fortune, which premiered in nineteen eighty three.
490
00:40:49.119 --> 00:40:52.880
The Wheel of Fortune, Come on, that's everybody knows. Pat say Jack,
491
00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:57.000
that's right. And number are you
ready? Are you ready for number
492
00:40:57.000 --> 00:41:00.000
four? Now? This is okay? Number four that I think it was
493
00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:04.719
only out a couple of seasons.
Number four, Press Your Luck. That
494
00:41:04.920 --> 00:41:07.000
also a game show in eighty three. I wasn't a big fan of that
495
00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:14.079
show. Yes, there it is. You know you said first her Luck?
496
00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:19.599
Now, yeah, it went from
it only went on you know what
497
00:41:19.639 --> 00:41:22.440
that show, It only went on
from nineteen eighty three to ninety years.
498
00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:24.639
See, I thought it was only
on two years. For some reason.
499
00:41:24.760 --> 00:41:30.880
I heard that music and I thought
of you dancing in a leisure suit back
500
00:41:30.920 --> 00:41:39.000
in the eighties. But that's that's
another story. No, don't do that.
501
00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:47.920
Don't do that. And number three
is Jeopardy. Yes, we already
502
00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:52.079
spoke with Jeopardy. That was number
three, Yes, yes we did.
503
00:41:52.480 --> 00:41:57.400
However, what was the number two? Number two is family Few that's right
504
00:41:57.440 --> 00:42:02.039
with Richard Dawson, the guy that
kissed everybody's mother. I hope that was
505
00:42:02.079 --> 00:42:06.519
a great show. I was,
oh, thank you, Debbie, welcome
506
00:42:06.559 --> 00:42:08.480
to this show. Why you look
beautiful? And then who are you?
507
00:42:08.719 --> 00:42:13.840
Who are these beautiful? I wanted
to let's talk a little bit about the
508
00:42:13.880 --> 00:42:17.480
family feud. Okay, because you're
right. Richard Dawnson, who was also
509
00:42:17.559 --> 00:42:22.920
an actor in Hogan's Heroes, remember
him, right, Yes, And you
510
00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:25.440
know what, I think he just
wanted to give everybody a case of that
511
00:42:25.519 --> 00:42:30.679
Bourbon Scotch he was drinking before her
in every field. Now here's one thing
512
00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:37.639
I could never understand as a kid. Why he kissed it every contestant,
513
00:42:37.960 --> 00:42:42.440
every every female contestant, of course, and he would kiss the women in
514
00:42:42.440 --> 00:42:44.960
front of their husbands. You know
what, I would like to see Rod
515
00:42:45.159 --> 00:42:50.039
Steele and his family do a family
feud one day. I think I think
516
00:42:50.079 --> 00:42:54.840
Steve Harvey would uh crack up.
And then number one, of course,
517
00:42:55.360 --> 00:43:00.800
the price is right with everybody's favorite
Bob Barker. Those are your five game
518
00:43:00.840 --> 00:43:05.599
shows in the eighties. Interesting thing
on all of this is that I know
519
00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:09.159
that people listening to us from around
the world. Every country around the world
520
00:43:09.199 --> 00:43:14.880
has and has always had their own
game shows, and we're interested in finding
521
00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:16.800
out what type of game shows you
guys had. If you're not in the
522
00:43:16.840 --> 00:43:22.559
United States, go ahead and send
us your your message through our Facebook page,
523
00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:27.960
which is back to the eighties,
and let us know what game show
524
00:43:28.119 --> 00:43:32.119
and we'll try to talk about it
here in a future program, or we'll
525
00:43:32.280 --> 00:43:38.480
definitely mention you on our Facebook page
as well. Now, I got a
526
00:43:38.519 --> 00:43:43.360
couple of game shows that are more
like a bonus round for you. Are
527
00:43:43.400 --> 00:43:49.400
you ready, okay, all right
away? See if you can guess this
528
00:43:49.440 --> 00:44:00.000
one. This was a show that
oh came on from nineteen ninety one,
529
00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:02.800
and then afterwards it started changing.
They tried to revamp it and everything.
530
00:44:04.880 --> 00:44:07.840
But for those of you who don't
know, this was the show narrated by
531
00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:16.320
originally Oh my goodness, it when
it had a list of presenters, I
532
00:44:16.400 --> 00:44:22.800
mean Bob Clayton, Jack Clark,
Steve O'Brien and a bunch of others,
533
00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:29.719
and it was a show called the
one hundred thousand Dollar Pyramid. Really now
534
00:44:29.840 --> 00:44:35.199
didn't Dick Clark also hosts that show. He was the original when it was
535
00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:40.280
the ten thousand dollar Pyramid rumor that
and yes, and it later changed to
536
00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:45.800
the I believe fifteen or then it
went to the twenty five and then it
537
00:44:45.880 --> 00:44:50.639
ended up the one hundred thousand dollars
pyramid, and you're absolutely right. It
538
00:44:50.800 --> 00:44:54.719
was the most famous presenter of all, which is Dick Clark, right.
539
00:44:55.639 --> 00:45:01.000
You know what. Oddly enough,
they gave you more money per different show
540
00:45:01.639 --> 00:45:07.559
and the host started sucking. So
I guess you get more money if you
541
00:45:07.639 --> 00:45:12.639
have to endure the pain of having
a host that sucks. I said it.
542
00:45:12.719 --> 00:45:16.960
Well, you know, Dick Clark
even went on to a host when
543
00:45:16.960 --> 00:45:21.599
it was the fifty thousand dollar Peerman
yes, which was in nineteen eighty one,
544
00:45:21.679 --> 00:45:25.880
and then from eighty five to eighty
eight it was one hundred thousand dollars
545
00:45:27.000 --> 00:45:30.440
pyramid. But then they switched.
They did a freaky thing there because then
546
00:45:30.480 --> 00:45:36.519
it went to a host by the
name of Bill Cullen who hosted you know,
547
00:45:36.679 --> 00:45:39.360
Nighttime with the twenty five thousand dollars
pramid. But that was way way
548
00:45:39.440 --> 00:45:44.039
way before. So but you're no, You're absolutely right, and the one
549
00:45:44.119 --> 00:45:46.360
hundred thousand dollars payment. It was
a pretty exciting show too. And now
550
00:45:46.400 --> 00:45:52.239
they did revamped out a few times
I believe was in the last five years,
551
00:45:52.280 --> 00:45:58.440
didn't they bring it back? Also
where Jimmy Kimmel. Well, here's
552
00:45:58.440 --> 00:46:02.760
the thing. On November twenty,
twenty nineteen, it was renewed for a
553
00:46:02.840 --> 00:46:07.719
fifth season, originally set for June
twenty twenty. Guess what, that's not
554
00:46:07.800 --> 00:46:13.079
happening, right, what was gonna
host Donald Trump? And probably well maybe
555
00:46:13.119 --> 00:46:16.320
afterwards, but then from two thousand
it all. You know. Donnie Osmond
556
00:46:16.360 --> 00:46:21.239
hosted The Pyramid from two thousand and
two to two thousand and four. Do
557
00:46:21.280 --> 00:46:22.320
you remember that, Donny Osmond?
Oh? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
558
00:46:22.360 --> 00:46:25.400
yeah, you're right, Donnie,
Donnie and Marie. Good God, his
559
00:46:25.480 --> 00:46:30.280
sister is still smoking hot. I'll
have to tell Donnie boy that, how
560
00:46:30.360 --> 00:46:36.239
does your sister regain all this hotness? All the weight watchers? It's the
561
00:46:36.239 --> 00:46:39.000
weight watchers. She's hotter now than
she was when she was a teenior.
562
00:46:39.079 --> 00:46:42.159
There, I went on a limb. I said it, I said it.
563
00:46:43.440 --> 00:46:45.400
I do dig the Donnie though.
Guys got a lot of personality.
564
00:46:45.400 --> 00:46:49.599
He's a pretty funny cat man,
and he's a pretty damn good singer.
565
00:46:49.960 --> 00:46:52.000
Yeah. He also came up with
a few eighties songs, did any or
566
00:46:52.039 --> 00:46:55.440
an eighty album, an eighties album
or a couple of them or something like
567
00:46:55.480 --> 00:47:00.280
that? All right, Well,
here is a show. This very next
568
00:47:00.280 --> 00:47:06.880
show is going to be very very
familiar because it uh, it is now
569
00:47:06.920 --> 00:47:13.480
in its thirty eighth year, or
or I should say the host hosted it
570
00:47:13.519 --> 00:47:20.800
for thirty eight years. Okay,
since nineteen eighty one. This is the
571
00:47:20.840 --> 00:47:32.440
show. By the way, I
think that the presenter's model flipping the letters
572
00:47:32.480 --> 00:47:38.360
around was even more famous, yeah, than the actual host van On White.
573
00:47:38.480 --> 00:47:43.840
Now this is there is number one
show in the top five that I
574
00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:45.599
was. You know, it was
one of the shows in the top five
575
00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:52.760
of the eighth Who could forget Pat
Say Jack actually rotting start doing the news
576
00:47:52.800 --> 00:47:59.360
I believe the weather on a LA
television back then, I forgot. I
577
00:47:59.360 --> 00:48:02.440
think it was four, could have
been channeled two. But anybody out there
578
00:48:02.480 --> 00:48:08.199
listening google that Pat Say Jack got
his first start doing the evening news.
579
00:48:08.440 --> 00:48:13.880
What do you think of that?
And that's yeah, that's fantastic bit of
580
00:48:13.920 --> 00:48:17.239
information. And the great thing was
that this show was very familiar to people.
581
00:48:17.239 --> 00:48:20.719
It was very easy because they got
to spend a wheel that had a
582
00:48:20.760 --> 00:48:24.159
different you know, different money or
different amounts of money, and then they
583
00:48:24.199 --> 00:48:29.440
also got to guess the letters.
You know, there was a phrase or
584
00:48:29.480 --> 00:48:32.400
a word, it was kind of
like a hangman the game. Yes,
585
00:48:32.519 --> 00:48:36.159
and it was, and so you
yeah, you got to guess you know,
586
00:48:36.199 --> 00:48:38.320
certain letters until they started. You
know, if you got the letter
587
00:48:38.360 --> 00:48:43.280
write, they'd flip them over.
Then you you had a chance after a
588
00:48:43.400 --> 00:48:47.039
clue to guess what the word or
what the phrase was. And uh,
589
00:48:47.199 --> 00:48:51.800
I remember everybody played at home,
oh, trying to guess, and we'd
590
00:48:51.800 --> 00:48:53.840
all call the contestants idiots at times. You remember that, Yeah, yeah,
591
00:48:54.079 --> 00:48:59.239
remember that. I always got a
kick out of. Sometimes when the
592
00:48:59.239 --> 00:49:05.360
show would start, Pat would introduce
the guests and he would always say,
593
00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:07.480
hey, do you have something interesting
to say to you? Are a studio
594
00:49:07.559 --> 00:49:12.920
audience about you? And then they
would say their story, and sometimes he
595
00:49:12.960 --> 00:49:17.039
would have to give it a little
bit more ooph than the guest said it,
596
00:49:17.239 --> 00:49:20.880
and it was like, if you
already know the story, Pat,
597
00:49:20.920 --> 00:49:22.119
why are you gonna make them say
it? Why don't you just tell us
598
00:49:22.119 --> 00:49:27.360
the story because it'll be more enlightening
and more colorful. You know. The
599
00:49:27.400 --> 00:49:31.920
other thing that was very remember when
you would get those those numbskulls that would
600
00:49:31.920 --> 00:49:36.119
have pretty much everything spelled up,
but they're missing one bowl and they're still
601
00:49:36.119 --> 00:49:38.079
getting the word wrong and you're sitting
there going, why God you more,
602
00:49:38.119 --> 00:49:43.079
I'll get a dictionary or was that
just me? I don't know, No,
603
00:49:43.280 --> 00:49:46.199
Yeah, you're absolutely right. All
right, So the next game.
604
00:49:46.280 --> 00:49:50.559
I've got two games left for you, and I'm probably gonna stump you on
605
00:49:50.599 --> 00:49:57.360
this. Maybe maybe, Okay.
This game is originally from the seventies,
606
00:49:58.079 --> 00:50:01.960
but it played on into the eighties. Meach some nineteen eighty six. I
607
00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:07.360
will give you a clue to this
next game. It was hosted The presenter
608
00:50:07.559 --> 00:50:16.119
was Jack Barry, and this was
the game. Sounds like you just entered
609
00:50:17.079 --> 00:50:22.199
some weird landages say, I was
thinking family feud, but this is not
610
00:50:22.360 --> 00:50:28.000
family feud. This is can you
remember wield a Fortune? No? No,
611
00:50:28.000 --> 00:50:36.519
no, it was a It had
you basically played card by swinging an
612
00:50:36.679 --> 00:50:40.199
arm and depending on your on the
hand that you were dealt, you get
613
00:50:40.199 --> 00:50:45.760
to, you know, answer some
questions. When some money it no but
614
00:50:45.079 --> 00:50:47.639
not car. You swung that arm
towards you. You know. It's kind
615
00:50:47.639 --> 00:50:52.599
of like those vegas arms on the
slot machines. And that's the idea.
616
00:50:52.679 --> 00:50:55.039
It was kind of like this humongous
slot machine. But if you got the
617
00:50:55.119 --> 00:50:59.360
Devil, do you remember that if
you got the Devil. It was kind
618
00:50:59.360 --> 00:51:05.679
of like a stripe, so the
Devil, and it was called the Joker's
619
00:51:05.880 --> 00:51:09.880
Wild that's right. And then you
would hear the guy go joker, Joker,
620
00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:15.679
Joker. Yes, And I could
not think of the name of the
621
00:51:15.800 --> 00:51:19.840
game, but I kind of had
the concept, but I was thinking exactly
622
00:51:19.880 --> 00:51:24.320
what that game and the rules of
the game and the competition of that game,
623
00:51:24.320 --> 00:51:30.159
but I could not remember the damn
name. You see what happens Sinceconnald
624
00:51:30.159 --> 00:51:34.880
when you're sitting here drinking an eye
cold beverage of heinekin. And here's the
625
00:51:35.039 --> 00:51:42.000
thirty two degrees off. Now here's
the interesting thing that that was a very
626
00:51:42.039 --> 00:51:45.079
successful show. Then they revamped it
in twenty seventeen. Guess who was the
627
00:51:45.119 --> 00:51:50.719
host? Oh, I don't have
no idea, tell me, please wise
628
00:51:50.800 --> 00:51:59.360
one Snoop Dog Folk Show. Yes, right, yeah, Snoop Dog was
629
00:51:59.400 --> 00:52:02.800
the host of Jokers. He was
always loaded. I bet you he was
630
00:52:02.840 --> 00:52:10.400
stolen out of without a doubt.
Oh my god, bro. All right,
631
00:52:10.480 --> 00:52:15.480
and for the last show. This
is the bonus of Bonus Rounds because
632
00:52:15.559 --> 00:52:22.880
this show was it was. It
started in nineteen eighty nine. I'll give
633
00:52:22.920 --> 00:52:28.320
you a little bit of background on
this show. It aired weekly in syndication
634
00:52:28.440 --> 00:52:32.920
from September eighty nine to May nineteen
ninety six. All right, I'm gonna
635
00:52:32.920 --> 00:52:45.039
play the song and see if you
can guess what the show was. American
636
00:52:45.119 --> 00:52:49.639
Gladiator. Oh my goodness, you
got that right, my friend. On
637
00:52:49.760 --> 00:52:57.719
the very first shot, that's Ryan. It was American Gladiators. It matched
638
00:52:57.719 --> 00:53:01.639
the cast of amateur athletes against each
other there as well as the show's own
639
00:53:01.719 --> 00:53:06.920
gladiators. So basically it was it
was a show of having contests of strength
640
00:53:06.960 --> 00:53:12.679
and agility. They'd put up like
normal people to go up against their gladiators
641
00:53:12.920 --> 00:53:20.039
rodgers big time. Yeah. And
some of those gladiators they look like cartoon
642
00:53:20.159 --> 00:53:22.719
drawings. I mean, even though
women were gentled and bumped up. Yeah,
643
00:53:22.719 --> 00:53:29.079
their main their main characters were Gemini, Diamond, Laser, Turbo Dallas.
644
00:53:30.280 --> 00:53:35.960
It sounds like a who's who of
strippers all the way around. Yeah,
645
00:53:36.079 --> 00:53:40.679
it sounds like a bunch of roid
raging strippers. And after the stage
646
00:53:40.679 --> 00:53:45.800
comes draw Diamond, I'm gonna snap
it off with my butt cheeks. Whoa
647
00:53:46.239 --> 00:53:52.599
girl, slow it down? And
so in front of this That was a
648
00:53:52.679 --> 00:53:55.480
great show I used to That's another
show I would watch with my children.
649
00:53:55.559 --> 00:53:59.719
We would all gather around him,
you know, and it was always my
650
00:53:59.760 --> 00:54:05.840
girls were always cheering for one of
the female gladiators, uh to kind of
651
00:54:06.760 --> 00:54:09.559
be victorious over some of the common
people that went to the joke. I
652
00:54:09.639 --> 00:54:14.119
bet you me and you could have
kicked some major ass on that job.
653
00:54:14.159 --> 00:54:15.559
Oh back then, I would have
loved it. Yeah, I would have
654
00:54:15.599 --> 00:54:20.519
loved it, because wouldn't you have
Yeah, yeah, because they weren't fast.
655
00:54:20.920 --> 00:54:22.880
They weren't fast because they were all
buffed they were all buffed out.
656
00:54:23.320 --> 00:54:27.280
Yes, And who would you have
liked to have gone against? I would
657
00:54:27.320 --> 00:54:30.760
have liked you have taken Turbo to
the match because he was a big cat.
658
00:54:30.960 --> 00:54:32.840
You could just like, you know, if you if you've got the
659
00:54:32.880 --> 00:54:37.280
moves and you got some speed and
you can joke, you could get around
660
00:54:37.360 --> 00:54:39.480
him. You could get right past
him and put some of those nerve balls
661
00:54:39.480 --> 00:54:45.079
into the old canister. Brother.
I want I wanted to give I wanted
662
00:54:45.079 --> 00:54:49.920
to give Dallas. I want to
give her. I wanted to give Dallas
663
00:54:49.920 --> 00:54:54.800
a wedgie back then, her and
I wanted to basically slap Gemini and uh,
664
00:54:54.920 --> 00:55:00.480
Laser and Turbo, Yeah, yeah, Laser and Turbo. They were
665
00:55:00.559 --> 00:55:07.599
just like they used to look like
human figures. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
666
00:55:07.719 --> 00:55:13.320
yeah, yeah, But that that
was back in the eighties when when
667
00:55:13.599 --> 00:55:16.000
these you know, these game shows
gave birth to so many of of the
668
00:55:16.079 --> 00:55:20.960
games that we have today. For
example, American Gladiators gave gave birth to
669
00:55:21.119 --> 00:55:25.440
the all these American Ninja Warriors and
all these types of shows. Now,
670
00:55:28.320 --> 00:55:35.039
they they had character, they had
they had a certain attitude to the show,
671
00:55:35.760 --> 00:55:37.320
and it makes I mean, it
was the first time we were seeing
672
00:55:37.400 --> 00:55:42.039
something like that, So that's why
it was so exciting to us. Kind
673
00:55:42.039 --> 00:55:46.679
of a bit of flamboyancy, I
would say, the American Gladiators, Yeah,
674
00:55:46.719 --> 00:55:52.199
I would say all the game shows
had a certain notch of comedy in
675
00:55:52.280 --> 00:55:59.119
it, which always made it more
fun to tune into and uh kind of
676
00:55:59.119 --> 00:56:04.280
lose yourself in the television mode of
the time slots where we did have the
677
00:56:04.320 --> 00:56:08.119
game shows, as opposed to when
you went into family, family, adult
678
00:56:08.199 --> 00:56:14.119
type TV shows, which kicked in
about nine o'clock, the game show was
679
00:56:14.159 --> 00:56:17.639
always the family, neighbor friendly type
thing that you can do. You could
680
00:56:17.679 --> 00:56:21.679
have a couple of drinks, or
you could be sober, but you just
681
00:56:21.719 --> 00:56:24.760
went in and you had nothing but
good fun playing a game. As adults
682
00:56:24.760 --> 00:56:29.519
on TV, but remembering what it
was like to play board games as a
683
00:56:29.599 --> 00:56:35.760
kid. Yeah, and I remember
American gladiators. These guys they all you
684
00:56:35.800 --> 00:56:37.760
know, I guess a lot of
people made fun of them. They called
685
00:56:37.800 --> 00:56:42.800
them, you know, like the
WWF back then, the WWF of you
686
00:56:42.840 --> 00:56:45.960
know, of game shows, because
a lot of these these cats could have
687
00:56:45.000 --> 00:56:50.199
been wrestlers, you know. All
right, this is you are listening to
688
00:56:50.239 --> 00:56:53.480
back to the eighties. When we
come back, we've got tangres and a
689
00:56:53.480 --> 00:56:57.280
little bit more. Don't go away, Hey, some of you remember the
690
00:56:57.320 --> 00:57:01.360
eighties fibe right, Well it littles
loud and proud on back to the eighties

And this is that part of the show
693
00:57:21.920 --> 00:57:24.280
where we talk about those things that
made us angry back in the eighties,
694
00:57:25.480 --> 00:57:31.400
but with a twist in honor of
the most wondrous chang we now call them
695
00:57:31.519 --> 00:57:37.679
changrys. So chang what made you
changry back in the eighties, Well,
696
00:57:37.760 --> 00:57:43.719
you know what made me changry back
in the eighties about game shows? Yeah,
697
00:57:44.800 --> 00:57:49.320
Richard Dawson kissing everybody that guy.
Well, that guy. If I
698
00:57:49.360 --> 00:57:51.679
would have if he would have kissed
my wife, I would have said,

00:57:51.679 --> 00:57:54.280
hey, Richard, could you put
kydie put your lips upon my two butt
700
00:57:54.320 --> 00:57:59.960
cheeks beneath my trousers. You know
what got me chingery back in the eight
701
00:58:00.639 --> 00:58:05.800
when people used to play and get
called on the prices right, they used
702
00:58:05.800 --> 00:58:09.960
to guess almost exactly what the amount
was, and the person the last person
703
00:58:10.440 --> 00:58:19.079
would guess one dollar over theirs and
they would win it. You know what

used to get me changry back in

00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:30.120
winning hard. You have won five
hundred dollars. That's right, Kirk.
40
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:36.759
And for the last question of today, and this is take it all?
41
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:40.319
Are you ready? I was born
ready devon. This is like taking Halloween
42
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:47.759
candy from a kid of COVID.
So easy, so easy, Go ahead
43
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:51.719
and spin the wheel. I'm gonna
I'm gonna get my whole picture. I'm
44
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:53.080
ready. Are you ready to go? I'm gonna go with a speed.
45
00:03:53.560 --> 00:04:01.680
I here we go all the way
around like a merry go round, like
46
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:08.759
a vergian Oh bright, For the
grand prize of twenty five hundred dollars,
47
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:14.319
Kirk, Here is the question in
the eighties, the band The Bengals had
48
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:21.160
a number one song called Manic Monday. Who wrote Manic Monday? Was it
49
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:30.560
a Susannah Hoffs b Axel Rose Ce
bon Jovi or was it D Prince.
50
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:35.480
I'm gonna have to go with that
gorgeous creature, Susannah Hoff. I had
51
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:40.759
naked posters of her in my own
mind. What a great ben I've seen
52
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:44.000
them. Christ it's a jupadur.
What are you gonna do? Lay it
53
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:47.319
on me? I know I'm a
winner, Susannah hopf for the big dollars.
54
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.800
Who I hate to say this,
Kirk, but not only did you
55
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:57.600
lose and you did not get to
sit, spin and enjoy, but now
56
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:02.480
you owe sit, sit and enjoy
twenty five hundred dollars because the correct answer
57
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:09.240
is D Prince. What that's right? Prince wrote that very famous song called
58
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:13.879
Manic Monday. You know what,
you can sit on it and spin.
59
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.879
I don't believe Prince wrote that song. I think I think you're lying because
60
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:20.680
you don't want to cop up the
bunny. I think that's what's going on
61
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:24.759
if you look it up. It
was an American pop rock band called The
62
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:29.680
Bengals who first released that song but
the writer himself in nineteen eighty four,
63
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:34.759
was written by American musician Prince using
the pseudonym Christopher, and was originally intended
64
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:41.879
for the group Apollonia six in nineteen
eighty four. Oh Man, Devin,
65
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:45.079
she was gorgeous too. But I'll
tell you what, Kirk. We're gonna
66
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:47.079
give you one more chance to redeem
yourself. Are you ready? Let's go
67
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:51.759
ahead and have you spin that wheel
one more time. Here's the bonus round.
68
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:55.279
Let's go, Bonus round, Bonus
round. Here we go, Here
69
00:05:55.279 --> 00:06:06.720
we go, Hello out, keep
the bones, keep it all. Writing
70
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:14.319
for the grand finale question, the
bonus ran in the nineteen eighties, who
71
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:19.199
was the greatest metal band? And
what was the greatest hit of that metal
72
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:25.639
band? I gotta say that this
has gotta the cutest priest by all time
73
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:29.519
favorite screaming for vengeance. And if
that's not it, Devin, you can
74
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:33.199
kiss a monkey's butt and sit on
spin on it, because I'm betting everything
75
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:39.439
in the bank that that's correct,
and I want Ncdonald's bucks. If I
76
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:45.319
were Donald, you Kirk are corrected. And now Kirk as the grand prize.
77
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:46.360
Not only do you get twenty five
hundred dollars, but you also get
78
00:06:46.399 --> 00:07:15.399
a free trip back to the eighties. Back I'm Captain Loggins and your Ronald
79
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:30.000
Cruise. You're listening to Back to
the Eighties, Well, that's the right,
80
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:33.240
ladies and gentlemen. This is the
one and only Back to the Eighties
81
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:36.360
Radio just kind of on Chang with
you. We are bringing the nostalgic moments
82
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:44.040
and sharing those memories that made that
decade the greatest decade of all. Thank
83
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:46.000
you for joining us. Happy weekend
to you guys. I want to give
84
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:51.240
a very special shout out to a
very special group of people listening to us
85
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:56.680
directly from Spain, from Espana Chang. Believe it or not, there is
86
00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:03.240
a restaurant called sufre Mamon. Fremamon
is an eighties and nineties based restaurant that
87
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.720
opened up during COVID in Spain,
and they wrote a special note this past
88
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.199
week, and I wanted to give
them a very special shout out, especially
89
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:15.120
because they're inviting us to have some
drinks over there and say it's a bar
90
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.600
and grilled type of restaurant. So
a big shout out to you guys.
91
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:28.800
I'm gonna say it in Spanish too. Back to the Eighties and for those
92
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.720
of you who just heard me say
something that made no sense to you,
93
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:35.399
I basically said, thanks for listening
to Back to the Eighties. Chang.
94
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:41.200
It's so good man to be able
to breathe a breath of fresh air.
95
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:45.799
And I'll tell you why. Back
to the Eighties is not a political show
96
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:50.480
whatsoever. You will never know who
I voted for or if I voted for
97
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:54.919
somebody. That's not the point.
The point is that we can slowly,
98
00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:01.360
slowly, slowly start getting back into
the normalcy of life for at least a
99
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:05.960
while. And although there's still a
lot a lot of things that are going
100
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.600
to happen between now and January the
twentieth, look it is what it is.
101
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.399
So thank you for joining us on
this beautiful weekend here back to the
102
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:18.039
Eighties. You deserve all the best, and Chang, I couldn't do this
103
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.559
without you, my friend. We
are like the Lone Ranger and Tonto,
104
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:24.399
and sometimes we just switch. Sometimes
I'm Tonto, you're the Lone Ranger,
105
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:30.720
and sometimes it's vice versa. I
think it's a fit to say that I
106
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:35.799
concur with everything you said, and
you know we're not partial to whoever you
107
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.120
voted for. That's not we're all
about. We can breathe a little bit
108
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:48.039
sounder because it just feels like a
great relief to the majority of America.
109
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:52.120
And you know, whatever side you're
on, and remember you can have you
110
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.600
cannot let hate be your faith.
That is the number one thing that we
111
00:09:54.639 --> 00:10:00.360
have to watch out for. No
matter what political party or what you even.
112
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:03.799
We have to not let hate be
our fate. We have to learn
113
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:09.240
how to get along like adults and
work things out because we are one race,
114
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:15.519
the human race. Now, welcome
to the show, and happy Friday,
115
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:20.919
Happy Saturday, and happy Sunday to
everybody out there. And if you're
116
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:24.000
football fans, let's go Rams play
in Seattle. That's right. I'm giving
117
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:31.440
my homage to my beautiful home of
Los Angeles, California. And Toscano,
118
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:37.159
I must mention that my Lakers and
my Daggers are world champions, that's right,
119
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:43.720
not divisional champions, not champions in
their own mind, but the world
120
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.320
champions. Well, this is the
one I'm only back into the eighties radio
121
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:50.759
show with Toscano and Chank. I
want to remind you guys that we do
122
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:54.919
have a Facebook page. Go ahead
and join us there. We also have
123
00:10:54.120 --> 00:11:00.159
a Patreon page. If you guys, go to our Patreon page and help
124
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.960
us out. It really lets us
keep doing this show. We're doing it
125
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.320
for you. We're doing it for
us as well. During this time of
126
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:11.360
COVID and during these times that are
just man. I heard a lot of
127
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:13.559
people saying these past weeks, man, if I could, if if the
128
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:18.279
whole time machine thing were real,
I would go back. I would definitely
129
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.799
go back to the eighties. So
I want you to don't forget take us
130
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.480
wherever you go every single Friday by
downloading back to the eighties on your phone,
131
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:30.879
on your computer, on your tablet, whatever it is, or listen
132
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:33.519
to us in your restaurant, just
like sum on the restaurant over there in
133
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.480
Spain. By the way, Chank, do you know what sure means?
134
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:43.960
You know what? No? Enlighten
me maman. It has another definition when
135
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:50.000
you say maman when you come from
the balio like myself. But enlighten our
136
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:56.679
listeners on exactly what that means in
English? Please, my brother, go
137
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:01.879
right well, Summon, the word
sure means to suffer, and the word
138
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:07.519
mamoon basically means you jerk. And
you could go on and on and call
139
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:11.360
it other other names, but basically, to make it light, it means
140
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:16.080
jerk. But the name of the
restaurant is named Sufre Mammon, which is
141
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:20.120
a song written by Omba as Hey
back in the eighties. This is a
142
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:24.360
very popular Spanish band. I believe
it was in nineteen eighty seven that they
143
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:26.759
came out, or in nineteen eighty
nine. The song was released in nineteen
144
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:31.679
eighty nine. It was a funk
It was post punk, kind of skyish,
145
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:35.720
you know that type of song.
And the song says, you know,
146
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:39.200
it's about a girl, and I
guess the guy's talking to another guy
147
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:41.360
and he just says, you know
what you suffer? I got the girl
148
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:46.080
now and that's that. So a
big, big, big shout out to
149
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.240
that place over there in Spain,
by the way, Chang. I do
150
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:52.200
hope that we get a chance to
go there. You know, that would
151
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:56.240
be fabulous if we ended up getting
to go to Spain and then we could
152
00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:01.679
probably sit there, have some drinks, have some great cuisine, and possibly
153
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:05.919
do our show from there, which
I think it's almost like the commercial in
154
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:13.080
the eighties of CERTs two two two
mentioned one. Yeah, you know what,
155
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:18.919
one of these things we got to
do an eighties commercial show. Yeah,
156
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:22.279
we'll talk about all those commercials that. You know. It's funny because
157
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:24.840
back then we used to think these
commercials, oh man, if I hate
158
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:26.840
when they come on, you know, they take up most of the time.
159
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.440
But now we look at these commercials
on YouTube and we kind of it
160
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:35.840
gets us feeling nostalgic. Right,
do you remember mister Whipple, Please don't
161
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:41.039
squeeze, Yes, please don't squeeze
the Charman. Yeah, absolutely, And
162
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:45.799
then I believe the snuggle Bearer came
out in the eighties or was that in
163
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:50.679
the nineties. You know what I
forgot what obnoxious thing was coming out about
164
00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:54.840
toilet paperback then. And remember,
don't be hoarding toilet paper out there.
165
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:56.639
We're you know, we don't need
a hoard toilet now. No, no,
166
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:00.360
no no. If we have to
go back into lockdown, do not
167
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:07.799
hoard toilet paper. Whatever you do, use leaves. Please. We got
168
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.440
a great show. When we come
back, there's more Tiscano and Chang and
169
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:16.360
Back to the eighties. Don't go
away because we're talking about eighties game shows.
170
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:33.440
You're listening to Back to the eighties
day by Pals. Tiscano and Chang
171
00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:37.360
went to school in the eighties and
that was cool. But now they're going
172
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:41.519
back. That's right, and you
can tag along with Back to the Eighties
173
00:14:41.639 --> 00:15:00.360
Radio. Welcome back to the Tiscano
and Chang Attack right here at Back to
174
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:03.600
the Eighties, where we want to
give you a little bit of heaven,
175
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:07.720
a little bit of happiness, and
a whole lot of eighties. Today's topic,
176
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:11.559
we're talking about eighties game shows now, Tiscontell. I think we could
177
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:18.759
easily do two shows of this topic
alone because there was so many great shows
178
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:22.320
back then. Yeah, and it
was. It was you could call it
179
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:26.159
a national pastime. People that used
to watch game shows. Now, let
180
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:28.559
me ask you, did you ever
go to an actual game show like yourself
181
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:33.279
or did you know anybody who ever
did go to a game show? And
182
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:35.440
if so, did you win anything? As a matter of fact, I
183
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:39.440
had a buddy of mine that went
on, Let's make a Deal. Oh
184
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:45.799
yes, now that actually game show
that I've always was hoping to try to
185
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:50.240
participate in. But as most people
have to do, you got to do
186
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:52.360
the work grind, and now I
was never really to get away able to
187
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:56.399
get away from work and go on
Let's make a Deal. I also had
188
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:00.559
a friend that went on the price
is right with Bob Barker, of course,
189
00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:06.639
yeah, of course not Dre Drew
carry Drew Gerry, you know,
190
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:12.360
with with Bob Barker. So uh, I mean game shows. I recall
191
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:18.840
uh sometimes getting together with friends and
playing that game show along with them at
192
00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:22.360
home. Yeah. I don't know
if you ever did that. You know,
193
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:26.759
sometimes you play Let's make a deal. Sometime Let's make a deal,
194
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:32.240
but sometimes you there's so many uh
uh the what was the name of that
195
00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:36.480
one game, the ten thousand dollars
Pyramid or yeah, yeah, Well I'll
196
00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:38.919
tell you what. We're gonna go
over these games in a lot more tonight,
197
00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:41.639
and let's do something. I thought
i'd do something kind of exciting,
198
00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:45.720
because what we're gonna do is we're
gonna play the theme songs and hopefully have
199
00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:51.759
you guess, and we're gonna talk
about and kind of disseminate what those games
200
00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:55.159
were about. And and you know, there's some games that I was really
201
00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:57.720
not into, but I know that
a lot of people were. So what
202
00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:03.200
say we get started and here is
the very first game show. So transport
203
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:07.640
yourself back to the eighties, and
you tell me if you ever saw this
204
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:11.880
show. Something tells me that you
saw the show just to get jokes and
205
00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:15.720
material for your stand up routines.
Here you go, Oh no, I
206
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:34.519
did. Oh that's right. This
was a game show that pitted newly married
207
00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:40.079
couples against each other to test them
to see who knows each other better.
208
00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:45.599
The game had two rounds full of
revealing questions that would expose how much spouses
209
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:48.000
really knew about their partners. But
unlike any other game show, the newly
210
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:52.720
Wood game had a grand prize,
and it was not a lump of cash.
211
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:57.480
Instead, it was usually household appliances
that Beep requested before they started the
212
00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:03.079
game. His cat forget Bob Eubank, I mean that wit, that boy,
213
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:10.200
that hair, I mean he improp
with every couple I think that went
214
00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:15.880
on that joke. You know,
they used such a kind of safe words
215
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:21.039
like makin whoopee. That was just
one of the greatest shows of all time.
216
00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:23.880
Man, I used to watch it. It's funny because that show first
217
00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:29.599
aired. We're talking. This was
an old show back when it When I
218
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:32.960
used to watch it once in a
while in the eighties, it was already
219
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:36.799
old. It was from nineteen sixty
six. But when I caught it.
220
00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:38.720
Yeah, when I caught it,
it was Bob Eubank said, what was
221
00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:45.920
definitely a show that people were attracted
to a single and married couples would watch
222
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:51.599
this show. And you're right.
It was Bob Eubanks who later on for
223
00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:57.759
many many years went on to host
the Los Angeles the Pasadena Rose Parade.
224
00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:03.160
Yes he did. He used to
do that with Uh. Oh, I
225
00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:10.480
forget the uh Stephanie Edwards, Stephanie
Edwards, that's right? Is she also
226
00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:17.440
corrected to do a commercial for a
certain market, Uh industry? I forgot,
227
00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:22.960
I forgot the name. Wasn't it
Alphabeta? No? Was it?
228
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:27.079
It was Lucky's. How many people
I remember? Lucky's a market basket?
229
00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:30.559
And uh, oh my gosh,
you just threw me a way back.
230
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:33.319
You know what we have to do
this one of these shows, we're gonna
231
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:38.319
have to talk about supermarkets and uh
yeah, because that that's crazy. Yeah,
232
00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:44.039
supermarkets and stores like little friendly mum
and pop shops. Uh like the
233
00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:47.880
Wonder Store. Remember the Wonder Bakery? Oh yeah, I remember the Wonder
234
00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:52.319
Bakery. Remember Woolworth, J C. Penny's and Sears. Who. Yeah,
235
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:56.680
So we'll definitely, we will definitely
talk about all of them all right.
236
00:19:56.759 --> 00:20:02.160
So yeah, that was the newly
Wit Game and I used to love
237
00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:06.160
that show. My mom and dad
used to love that show and we had
238
00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:07.920
a lot of fun. Now once
Cable started rolling in, then you had
239
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:14.599
a lot more options, right,
including one for children, and this one
240
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:30.279
went like this. This show was
a game show called Double Dare. It
241
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:37.920
was released on CBS, and it
included two teams that competed to win cash
242
00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:45.400
and prizes by answering trivia questions completing
messy stunts known as physical challenges. It
243
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:49.160
originally ran from nineteen eighty six to
nineteen ninety three, and they later revived
244
00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:55.440
it in the year two thousand and
so on. But you'll remember the presenter
245
00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:59.559
was Mark Summers, remember him.
Ah, yes, Mark Summers. That's
246
00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:03.799
what I used to watch that show
with my girls when my three girls were
247
00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:07.559
younger than I remember. We would
watch it up until it went into the
248
00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:12.279
nineties. Now, I'm not sure
if this is the same show or if
249
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:18.359
Mark Somers took on another show,
but that's where the famous sliming took place.
250
00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:22.480
That is right, You're absolutely right. It was. It was a
251
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:27.279
great, great show because it also
had families going up against each other.
252
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:33.039
They had the Double Dare and Super
Sloppy Doubledare, and they consisted of two
253
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:40.240
kids, while teams on Family Doubledare
and Doubledare two thousand. I mean,
254
00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:45.160
originally both teams wore red uniforms,
but after Doubledare entered syndication in nineteen eighty
255
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:49.720
eight, there was a blue team
and a red team always, and you're
256
00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:53.799
right, whenever you got something wrong
or you lost, you were slimed.
257
00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:59.759
Yes, my brother. I mean, dude, it's so funny because the
258
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:03.359
eighties for myself, I was a
teenager through the eighties, so I had
259
00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:07.480
my share of the wildness, but
so many great memories of being a father.
260
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:11.039
Also very lucky to raise my children
in that era, you know what
261
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:14.519
I mean. A lot of great
TV, a lot of great cartoons back
262
00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:19.039
then too, Brennan Stimpy all.
I believe it was Nickelodeon. If I'm
263
00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:22.079
that's right, to be correct,
that's right, it was. You are
264
00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:26.559
in fact correct, My friend is
right. My brother and Nickelodeon hit it
265
00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:33.200
really really big because that demographic of
you know here in the United States really
266
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:37.279
blew up. I mean, there
were kids everywhere wanted to get Nickelodeon and
267
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:44.359
watch game shows like double dare now
onto another type of game. But now
268
00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:49.359
this was the other side of the
spectrum, which was it was where people
269
00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:57.559
were looking for love. This is
Jack, who says he's always a gentleman.
270
00:22:57.559 --> 00:23:00.519
On the first day we shall be
video. Okay, So these three
271
00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:04.160
single women and a big one is
his day. Which one did he choose?
272
00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:10.400
Which one with our audience dues?
And this is Deborah. She described
273
00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:17.559
herself as an unpredictable ex tomboy.
Which which one with our audience choose?
274
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:22.559
Today? On Love Connection you'll find
out who they picked, who the audience
275
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:26.839
pixed, and everything that happened on
their dates. No, you're not score
276
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:32.279
about Love Connection is our house,
Jock? Why that's right, Chuck Woolery.
277
00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:34.200
Do you remember the Love Connection?
Right? Oh? Man, I
278
00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:41.839
used to watch this show with the
missus Chang and stuff knew it. That's
279
00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:45.279
right, great hair, Yep,
that was a great show. As a
280
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:51.160
matter of fact, you it was
very uh I kind of uh chuck it
281
00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:55.599
up to being like a reality TV
before it got a little bit assinine.
282
00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:00.720
Yes, Love Connection's main premise was
to arrange day for couples, so a
283
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:06.000
guest appeared on the show after going
on a date. So the guests,
284
00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:10.759
the whole game was after the date, right, So a guest appeared on
285
00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:15.160
the show after going on a date
with one of three contestants, then after
286
00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:21.640
having chosen on the basis of the
contestants videotaped profiles after the date. The
287
00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:26.440
televised appearance, you know was was
obviously scheduled. But the but the funny
288
00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:30.559
thing is you used to I remember
you You're watching the show and you're thinking,
289
00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:33.599
this guy went out with you know, with these three girls or with
290
00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:37.319
one of the girls, depending on
what they said on the video, and
291
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:41.759
then you had a guess. Yeah, you know what would be Christine if
292
00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:48.880
Tuskanawan Chang came up with our own
game show that crossed the dating game and
293
00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:55.839
Love Connection. Therefore, well,
we are going to have as a surprise
294
00:24:55.880 --> 00:25:00.559
to you and to our audience,
we are going to have a dating game
295
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:08.480
in the next very few weeks.
So stay tuned because the dating game allah
296
00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:15.519
back to the eighties is gonna knock
you off of your seat and we could
297
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:22.400
do that voice. Oh would you
not have liked to have been a contestant
298
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:25.759
on the Love Connection? Do you
think you would have fared well. No,
299
00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:27.559
no, I didn't like you know, it wasn't for me. I
300
00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:30.160
did enjoy, but this was going
back to the seventies. I did like
301
00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:33.519
the dating game, even though I
was a kid watching the game that one
302
00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:37.839
I liked. I think if I
would have been on a love connection,
303
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:41.039
I think I would have had a
ball, I really do. I think
304
00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:44.640
I would have had to go on
three or four dates before I could actually
305
00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:51.519
come up with enough information to be
very positive and loving. Though it would
306
00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:53.440
have taken a couple. I don't
know what they would have thought with you
307
00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:57.160
going on the dates. I would
have been insane. You would have been
308
00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:00.960
insane, man Chuck. She put
out on the first jake. She's a
309
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:03.440
skank. I can't have it.
I'm heavily devouted Christian. I just don't
310
00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:07.319
need it. She smelled like an
ashtray, but she paid for everything.
311
00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:11.519
Here is another game show from the
eighties. Finale was made twenty third,
312
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:19.440
nineteen eighty six and the host the
host of this show was Wink Martindale and
313
00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:33.960
this was the show. The show
was called Tic Tac Doe and it went
314
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:38.759
on for It went on for seven
seasons, then left in nineteen eighty five
315
00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:45.119
to host another creation, headline Chasers
and But it was basically a game show
316
00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:52.400
based on the game tic tac Toe. Contestants would answer questions in various categories
317
00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:56.599
to put their respective symbol X and
os on the board and whoever did you
318
00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:02.160
know? Whoever won the tic tac
toe game would win different cash prizes and
319
00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:07.799
things like that. I was a
pretty popular game, very Oh my gosh,
320
00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:11.480
it was very catchy because everybody liked
to play TikTok toe back then.
321
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:15.519
Yeah. And the thing is it
was so complex and easy to play along
322
00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:18.839
on home because, like you just
said, who didn't play tic tac toll
323
00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:22.359
when they were growing up? You
didn't in school? You did it.
324
00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:27.319
Sometimes you would do it by yourself, you know what. So that's right,
325
00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:32.839
it would be hard to beat yourself. The name alone, Wink Martindale.
326
00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:37.680
That is a classic game show host
name, you know, Wink Martine.
327
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:42.400
Yeah, Wink wink wink. You
know. Speaking of game shows,
328
00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:48.000
Before we go on to our next
one, let's take a quick couple of
329
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:52.160
seconds a moment of silence to the
late great Alex Trebec, host of Jeopardy
330
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:57.920
for decades upon decades, who lost
his battle to cancer. I believe it
331
00:27:57.960 --> 00:28:02.799
was eighty years old. Anybody out
there that was a great fan of Jeopardy
332
00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:06.240
or the man himself, we hear
it back to the eighties. One to
333
00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:11.079
spay. It's been special homage and
a tribute and up to his spirit as
334
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:14.240
he goes off to up and they
had a thank you for everything you did
335
00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:18.559
for us. You very intelligent man, a great host, and that show
336
00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:22.440
will probably never ever be the same. I don't think we'll ever see another
337
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:29.720
game show host as great as a
mister tebec are heard out, you're right.
338
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:37.720
Jeopardy was a fantastic show that first
aired on September tenth, nineteen eighty
339
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:41.559
four, and it was It was
a classic game show, but it had
340
00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:48.319
a little twist because the answers were
given out first and the contestants just supplied
341
00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:52.640
the questions. So the whole idea
of the game was that the contestants would
342
00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:59.359
give you the questions, not the
answers, so there'd be three this You
343
00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:03.920
had to have mental left, you
had to have some intelligence when you played
344
00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:06.599
that. But I'll tell you what
you know. You know what I found
345
00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:10.799
out later, bro, I found
out that that game show they would give
346
00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:14.200
you before you'd go on the show, they'd give you all the answers.
347
00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:18.559
Really, so yeah, so I
guess it would be the person that memorized
348
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:26.279
the most. But somebody told me
that that game show was rich because they
349
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:30.640
said they said that somebody that they
knew had gone that they gave that person
350
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:33.559
all the answers way before the game
show. They just take them from you
351
00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:38.480
the day off, so you don't
obviously you can't see. You just have
352
00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:44.400
to remember. And that's why you
thought everybody was so darned smart on that
353
00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:48.119
show. That is like opening up
a hot container of cottage cheese on a
354
00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:53.480
ninety degree day. Bro, that
just sucks now that I know that thought
355
00:29:53.480 --> 00:30:02.599
of a monkey. If you,
our listener, are aware of this show
356
00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:07.200
being other you know, played another
way, or this person that told me
357
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:11.039
was a liar, please right into
the show. Give us your version or
358
00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:15.119
your story. I'd be more than
happy to talk about it. Now.
359
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:18.680
I can't tell you that that's the
way it was, but that is what
360
00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:22.680
I was told. So it was
a letdown for me because I was going
361
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:26.720
like, Wow, no wonder and
I thought all these people were that just
362
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:33.640
that smart. Well, I'm having
an attack. I hate that guy.
363
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:38.119
I hate that news. I hate
hearing that. I hate that reality.
364
00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:44.920
Hate hate, don't hate on now
it's Trabecca. I'll hate you twice as
365
00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:52.440
much every now and then I get
those hate hate attacks. It's terrible you
366
00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:56.680
do. So that's the idea.
But yes, we lost a great one
367
00:30:56.720 --> 00:31:03.640
there. He hosted Alex tre hosted
Jeopardy for thirty six years. He was
368
00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:07.680
definitely one of a kind. He
was a comforting presence, improved, being
369
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:12.920
smart, was seriously cool until until
I found out that they gave the answers
370
00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:18.319
away, and then it everything changed. I ruined it for you, didn't
371
00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:21.279
I ruin it for you? I
knew I ruined it for you. That
372
00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:30.559
hurt as much as me finding out
Rock Hudson was gating. Oh my goodess.
373
00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:33.440
You know you just brought me back
to my childhood because in elementary school,
374
00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:37.960
I would say nineteen eighty, yeah, around nineteen eighty I think I
375
00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:42.079
was in the fourth or fifth grade. I remember my my history teacher,
376
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:49.039
mister Clark. He told the whole
class, he told the whole class,
377
00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:56.279
what do you call Rock Hudson in
a wheelchair? And he goes rollads,
378
00:31:56.400 --> 00:32:02.359
oh man, yeah, that was
in the fifth grade. Ladies and gentlemen,
379
00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:07.799
thank you mister Clark, who is
probably not alive today, but anywhere
380
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:09.079
listen to go ahead and take a
quick break. Well, we come back
381
00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:17.480
back to the eighties, continues the
game show Clark is a jackass you're listening
382
00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:21.720
to back to the eighties, taking
you on a trip to him better time,
383
00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:24.240
a time when America used to win
at things, When we won the
384
00:32:24.279 --> 00:32:30.200
Cold War by arming Afghanistan, When
we beat rushing boxers by jugging in the
385
00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:34.599
woods, when a welder could become
a dancer, when a poor immigrant could
386
00:32:34.599 --> 00:32:42.480
become to the power of music,
a guru to a generation. And now
387
00:32:42.839 --> 00:32:45.799
back to the eighties with Toscano and
Chang, we are back here, back
388
00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:50.920
to the eighties, to Kano and
Chang with you. Happy Friday, Happy
389
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:54.359
Saturday, Happy Sunday to you guys, wherever you are and whoever you are
390
00:32:54.839 --> 00:33:00.319
listening to us from anywhere in the
world. I want to give you guys
391
00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:05.960
a big shout out. If you

392
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:10.559
guys are from Germany listening to us
from Australia, from let's name a few
393
00:33:10.559 --> 00:33:14.039
countries. Chang, because that's one
of the things that we didn't do today.
394
00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:16.799
In that's name a few of the
countries that listen to us. Take
395
00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:21.880
your pick. I mean people are
listening to us all over the place.
396
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:25.960
Let's let's give a big Let's give
a shout out to Austra, all those
397
00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:31.279
Austrians outside that are taking in to
Skano and Chang. What else do you
398
00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:37.880
do? Are you going to the
shout out to people in Kenya, Pakistan?
399
00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:39.720
And also, my friend, I
want to give a big shout out
400
00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:43.599
to the people in Saudi Arabia.
Okay, they're listening to us right now.
401
00:33:43.720 --> 00:33:47.640
We're lucky to you. A big
shout out to don't worry, we
402
00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:51.839
got rid of the dance guy.
Big shout out to people listening to us
403
00:33:51.839 --> 00:33:55.079
from Qatar, from Hong Kong,
and now maybe can you believe people from
404
00:33:55.119 --> 00:33:59.680
the Maybe you are listening to us. Now that's insane. I can imagine
405
00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:01.720
those four people because they're probably only
four of them, and they're probably listening
406
00:34:01.720 --> 00:34:06.119
to each other, you know,
together, they're at a group party,
407
00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:08.320
maybe in an apartment. They're listening
to us right now. How are you
408
00:34:08.360 --> 00:34:13.760
guys doing? The four of you? It's probably one gamer in his mom's
409
00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:16.079
basement. I want to also give
a big shout out to people listening to
410
00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:22.400
us from Brazil, Belgium, Indonesia, Singapore, Finland, and Denmark.
411
00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:25.519
Next week we'll give more shout outs
to everybody listening to us from around the
412
00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:30.119
world. Oh you didn't say,
how do you get the people in Germany?
413
00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:34.880
Oh? Yes, I want to
give the special shout out to people
414
00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:39.000
listening to us from the land,
from the doctor's land, the people who
415
00:34:39.079 --> 00:34:45.679
are inspiring the vaccinations for the anti
zombies. Thank you. Here in the
416
00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:51.119
United States, we are going to
thank you for for everything the Germans do.
417
00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:54.920
That's right. We want to thank
you for some of your best brules
418
00:34:54.960 --> 00:35:01.199
that you have sent us when it
is the forty degree. All right.
419
00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:06.320
Back in the eighties, we are
talking about game shows from the eighties.
420
00:35:07.400 --> 00:35:09.239
Was there a game show? Not
gonna tell you. I had one of
421
00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:14.360
my aunts went on this following game
show, and when she was called up,
422
00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:19.039
she was one of those My aunt
is a little bit well back then,
423
00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:23.679
she was a little heavier set,
and she's got that crazy attitude and
424
00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:28.519
just wild and you know, I'm
sure that when she was a teenager,
425
00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:31.519
she was probably the class clown or
something like that, but so she she
426
00:35:31.519 --> 00:35:35.960
she grew up like that. It's
very happy all the time, wonderful,
427
00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:43.079
wonderful human being. And she went
to this following a game show that maybe
428
00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:52.239
you can guess what it was,
Josephine Vealezuela, Come on down, You're
429
00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:58.920
the next contestant home. The price
is right. Who can forget the prices
430
00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:05.159
of rights? With Bob Barker.
Bob Barker, the Ladies Man. That
431
00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:10.000
man is also a great humanitarian for
all the work he did with animals,
432
00:36:10.639 --> 00:36:16.000
But Bob Barker. I was very
sad and dishearted when Bob Barker decided to
433
00:36:16.039 --> 00:36:21.119
retire and Drew Carry took over because
I kept expecting Drew Carry I have a
434
00:36:21.199 --> 00:36:23.039
drink or a cigarette in his hand
and give me maybe five minutes of a
435
00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:28.840
set. But you know, that
was one of my favorite game shows of
436
00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:32.199
all time, and only because I
used to have to go marketing a lot,
437
00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:36.840
and I went with my mom.
Then later when me and my sister
438
00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:39.000
were living together, I had my
sister worked at Lucky's. That's why I'm
439
00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:45.760
so familiar with Stephanie Edwards that I
used to go and you know, having
440
00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:49.440
to shop on my own brother that
is a game that I would play at
441
00:36:49.440 --> 00:36:52.920
home by myself in front of my
friends. It didn't matter. I had
442
00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:57.199
always wanted a goal on that game
and nail it. I mean, just
443
00:36:57.480 --> 00:37:02.880
dial it within pennies so the price
is right. The Prices Right aired over
444
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:09.960
nine thousand episodes since it first debuted. It it was it was one of
445
00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:15.280
the longest running network series in the
United States, and it was cool because
446
00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:22.559
the show revolves around contestants completing by
identifying accurate pricing of merchandise to win cash
447
00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:27.519
and prizes. So basically, you
have a bunch of contestants sitting down.
448
00:37:27.559 --> 00:37:30.119
So if they called you at random
from the audience, which is what they
449
00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:35.639
did, then you'd go up to
sit with the other contestants in front of
450
00:37:35.960 --> 00:37:40.159
the I guess the pricing machine.
They'd show a certain prize and you'd have
451
00:37:40.199 --> 00:37:45.440
to guess, and the contestant that
showed the closest too, or if maybe
452
00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:49.159
they got it exact, they would
get a chance to participate in the show
453
00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:54.800
by guessing at prices for some other
stuff and they actually won really cool prizes.
454
00:37:55.280 --> 00:38:00.840
I remember that was probably one of
the biggest That was probably the game
455
00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:05.719
show that offered the biggest prizes.
Do you remember, especially the two last
456
00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:08.360
contestants that made it to the grand
finale. At the end, I mean
457
00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:14.400
they gave away cars, vacations.
I mean they would furnish your home.
458
00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:17.519
The game was pretty awesome. I
think it was probably one of the best
459
00:38:17.559 --> 00:38:23.400
game shows. That's why it stood
the test of time. But it kind
460
00:38:23.440 --> 00:38:30.679
of gave to your everyday citizen,
you know what I mean. You could
461
00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:36.039
be a renter, a homeowner,
you could be a din't. It didn't
462
00:38:36.039 --> 00:38:38.440
matter if you were a single parent
or a parent, or even if you
463
00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:44.960
had kids. Just to show that
everybody can identify with because everybody has shopped
464
00:38:45.239 --> 00:38:49.199
at one point of time. So
why not go to a game show that
465
00:38:49.360 --> 00:38:53.480
is as comfortable as going into a
market or reading your coupons and winning some
466
00:38:53.519 --> 00:38:57.559
big bucks. I mean, what
a great idea for a game show.
467
00:38:58.360 --> 00:39:04.239
Now, Isn't The Prices Right?
And Jeopardy two of the longest running game
468
00:39:04.320 --> 00:39:08.480
shows that go back almost four decades? And I un I think you're right.
469
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:14.519
As a matter of fact, I
think the game show The Prices Right?
470
00:39:14.559 --> 00:39:19.480
At least it first premiered September fourth, nineteen seventy two. So this
471
00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:22.079
show went on for a long time. By the way, I told you,
472
00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:24.920
my aunt went on the show.
She won a washer and dryer.
473
00:39:25.679 --> 00:39:29.880
Nice, so that was that was
nice. You know, she didn't go
474
00:39:29.960 --> 00:39:35.800
any further than that. She didn't
really learn her prizes or woolpool. I
475
00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:42.320
have no idea brother, maybe ge
you want to hear something funny and interesting.
476
00:39:42.360 --> 00:39:45.719
Here's an interesting fact in that show. The most famous model because they
477
00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:51.480
had models right showing off the merchandise. I don't know her name. She
478
00:39:51.599 --> 00:39:55.079
was the one of the blonde models
or she was the most famous model on
479
00:39:55.119 --> 00:40:01.079
that show. It was later found
out that a model's husband had been killed.
480
00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:08.119
He was a CIA operative, so
basically he was a spy. So
481
00:40:08.159 --> 00:40:14.440
one of the one of the models
on the price's right was married to a
482
00:40:14.599 --> 00:40:17.599
spy. That's an interesting fact.
It goes to show you that here in
483
00:40:17.599 --> 00:40:22.519
the United States, you can be
a spy and you can have a wife
484
00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:27.039
that works in a game show.
Now, that is an awesome life.
485
00:40:27.079 --> 00:40:30.239
Everyone knows your wife, but they
don't know you. Hey, Chuscono,
486
00:40:30.559 --> 00:40:35.880
Can I go ahead and mention the
top five game shows in the eighties?
487
00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:38.119
Do you want to hear this really
quick? Let's hear it Okay, you're
488
00:40:38.119 --> 00:40:43.800
gonna have to get Sergio to get
us a drum roll. And number five
489
00:40:43.960 --> 00:40:49.000
starts off with the Wheel of Fortune, which premiered in nineteen eighty three.
490
00:40:49.119 --> 00:40:52.880
The Wheel of Fortune, Come on, that's everybody knows. Pat say Jack,
491
00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:57.000
that's right. And number are you
ready? Are you ready for number
492
00:40:57.000 --> 00:41:00.000
four? Now? This is okay? Number four that I think it was
493
00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:04.719
only out a couple of seasons.
Number four, Press Your Luck. That
494
00:41:04.920 --> 00:41:07.000
also a game show in eighty three. I wasn't a big fan of that
495
00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:14.079
show. Yes, there it is. You know you said first her Luck?
496
00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:19.599
Now, yeah, it went from
it only went on you know what
497
00:41:19.639 --> 00:41:22.440
that show, It only went on
from nineteen eighty three to ninety years.
498
00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:24.639
See, I thought it was only
on two years. For some reason.
499
00:41:24.760 --> 00:41:30.880
I heard that music and I thought
of you dancing in a leisure suit back
500
00:41:30.920 --> 00:41:39.000
in the eighties. But that's that's
another story. No, don't do that.
501
00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:47.920
Don't do that. And number three
is Jeopardy. Yes, we already
502
00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:52.079
spoke with Jeopardy. That was number
three, Yes, yes we did.
503
00:41:52.480 --> 00:41:57.400
However, what was the number two? Number two is family Few that's right
504
00:41:57.440 --> 00:42:02.039
with Richard Dawson, the guy that
kissed everybody's mother. I hope that was
505
00:42:02.079 --> 00:42:06.519
a great show. I was,
oh, thank you, Debbie, welcome
506
00:42:06.559 --> 00:42:08.480
to this show. Why you look
beautiful? And then who are you?
507
00:42:08.719 --> 00:42:13.840
Who are these beautiful? I wanted
to let's talk a little bit about the
508
00:42:13.880 --> 00:42:17.480
family feud. Okay, because you're
right. Richard Dawnson, who was also
509
00:42:17.559 --> 00:42:22.920
an actor in Hogan's Heroes, remember
him, right, Yes, And you
510
00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:25.440
know what, I think he just
wanted to give everybody a case of that
511
00:42:25.519 --> 00:42:30.679
Bourbon Scotch he was drinking before her
in every field. Now here's one thing
512
00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:37.639
I could never understand as a kid. Why he kissed it every contestant,
513
00:42:37.960 --> 00:42:42.440
every every female contestant, of course, and he would kiss the women in
514
00:42:42.440 --> 00:42:44.960
front of their husbands. You know
what, I would like to see Rod
515
00:42:45.159 --> 00:42:50.039
Steele and his family do a family
feud one day. I think I think
516
00:42:50.079 --> 00:42:54.840
Steve Harvey would uh crack up.
And then number one, of course,
517
00:42:55.360 --> 00:43:00.800
the price is right with everybody's favorite
Bob Barker. Those are your five game
518
00:43:00.840 --> 00:43:05.599
shows in the eighties. Interesting thing
on all of this is that I know
519
00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:09.159
that people listening to us from around
the world. Every country around the world
520
00:43:09.199 --> 00:43:14.880
has and has always had their own
game shows, and we're interested in finding
521
00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:16.800
out what type of game shows you
guys had. If you're not in the
522
00:43:16.840 --> 00:43:22.559
United States, go ahead and send
us your your message through our Facebook page,
523
00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:27.960
which is back to the eighties,
and let us know what game show
524
00:43:28.119 --> 00:43:32.119
and we'll try to talk about it
here in a future program, or we'll
525
00:43:32.280 --> 00:43:38.480
definitely mention you on our Facebook page
as well. Now, I got a
526
00:43:38.519 --> 00:43:43.360
couple of game shows that are more
like a bonus round for you. Are
527
00:43:43.400 --> 00:43:49.400
you ready, okay, all right
away? See if you can guess this
528
00:43:49.440 --> 00:44:00.000
one. This was a show that
oh came on from nineteen ninety one,
529
00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:02.800
and then afterwards it started changing.
They tried to revamp it and everything.
530
00:44:04.880 --> 00:44:07.840
But for those of you who don't
know, this was the show narrated by
531
00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:16.320
originally Oh my goodness, it when
it had a list of presenters, I
532
00:44:16.400 --> 00:44:22.800
mean Bob Clayton, Jack Clark,
Steve O'Brien and a bunch of others,
533
00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:29.719
and it was a show called the
one hundred thousand Dollar Pyramid. Really now
534
00:44:29.840 --> 00:44:35.199
didn't Dick Clark also hosts that show. He was the original when it was
535
00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:40.280
the ten thousand dollar Pyramid rumor that
and yes, and it later changed to
536
00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:45.800
the I believe fifteen or then it
went to the twenty five and then it
537
00:44:45.880 --> 00:44:50.639
ended up the one hundred thousand dollars
pyramid, and you're absolutely right. It
538
00:44:50.800 --> 00:44:54.719
was the most famous presenter of all, which is Dick Clark, right.
539
00:44:55.639 --> 00:45:01.000
You know what. Oddly enough,
they gave you more money per different show
540
00:45:01.639 --> 00:45:07.559
and the host started sucking. So
I guess you get more money if you
541
00:45:07.639 --> 00:45:12.639
have to endure the pain of having
a host that sucks. I said it.
542
00:45:12.719 --> 00:45:16.960
Well, you know, Dick Clark
even went on to a host when
543
00:45:16.960 --> 00:45:21.599
it was the fifty thousand dollar Peerman
yes, which was in nineteen eighty one,
544
00:45:21.679 --> 00:45:25.880
and then from eighty five to eighty
eight it was one hundred thousand dollars
545
00:45:27.000 --> 00:45:30.440
pyramid. But then they switched.
They did a freaky thing there because then
546
00:45:30.480 --> 00:45:36.519
it went to a host by the
name of Bill Cullen who hosted you know,
547
00:45:36.679 --> 00:45:39.360
Nighttime with the twenty five thousand dollars
pramid. But that was way way
548
00:45:39.440 --> 00:45:44.039
way before. So but you're no, You're absolutely right, and the one
549
00:45:44.119 --> 00:45:46.360
hundred thousand dollars payment. It was
a pretty exciting show too. And now
550
00:45:46.400 --> 00:45:52.239
they did revamped out a few times
I believe was in the last five years,
551
00:45:52.280 --> 00:45:58.440
didn't they bring it back? Also
where Jimmy Kimmel. Well, here's
552
00:45:58.440 --> 00:46:02.760
the thing. On November twenty,
twenty nineteen, it was renewed for a
553
00:46:02.840 --> 00:46:07.719
fifth season, originally set for June
twenty twenty. Guess what, that's not
554
00:46:07.800 --> 00:46:13.079
happening, right, what was gonna
host Donald Trump? And probably well maybe
555
00:46:13.119 --> 00:46:16.320
afterwards, but then from two thousand
it all. You know. Donnie Osmond
556
00:46:16.360 --> 00:46:21.239
hosted The Pyramid from two thousand and
two to two thousand and four. Do
557
00:46:21.280 --> 00:46:22.320
you remember that, Donny Osmond?
Oh? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
558
00:46:22.360 --> 00:46:25.400
yeah, you're right, Donnie,
Donnie and Marie. Good God, his
559
00:46:25.480 --> 00:46:30.280
sister is still smoking hot. I'll
have to tell Donnie boy that, how
560
00:46:30.360 --> 00:46:36.239
does your sister regain all this hotness? All the weight watchers? It's the
561
00:46:36.239 --> 00:46:39.000
weight watchers. She's hotter now than
she was when she was a teenior.
562
00:46:39.079 --> 00:46:42.159
There, I went on a limb. I said it, I said it.
563
00:46:43.440 --> 00:46:45.400
I do dig the Donnie though.
Guys got a lot of personality.
564
00:46:45.400 --> 00:46:49.599
He's a pretty funny cat man,
and he's a pretty damn good singer.
565
00:46:49.960 --> 00:46:52.000
Yeah. He also came up with
a few eighties songs, did any or
566
00:46:52.039 --> 00:46:55.440
an eighty album, an eighties album
or a couple of them or something like
567
00:46:55.480 --> 00:47:00.280
that? All right, Well,
here is a show. This very next
568
00:47:00.280 --> 00:47:06.880
show is going to be very very
familiar because it uh, it is now
569
00:47:06.920 --> 00:47:13.480
in its thirty eighth year, or
or I should say the host hosted it
570
00:47:13.519 --> 00:47:20.800
for thirty eight years. Okay,
since nineteen eighty one. This is the
571
00:47:20.840 --> 00:47:32.440
show. By the way, I
think that the presenter's model flipping the letters
572
00:47:32.480 --> 00:47:38.360
around was even more famous, yeah, than the actual host van On White.
573
00:47:38.480 --> 00:47:43.840
Now this is there is number one
show in the top five that I
574
00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:45.599
was. You know, it was
one of the shows in the top five
575
00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:52.760
of the eighth Who could forget Pat
Say Jack actually rotting start doing the news
576
00:47:52.800 --> 00:47:59.360
I believe the weather on a LA
television back then, I forgot. I
577
00:47:59.360 --> 00:48:02.440
think it was four, could have
been channeled two. But anybody out there
578
00:48:02.480 --> 00:48:08.199
listening google that Pat Say Jack got
his first start doing the evening news.
579
00:48:08.440 --> 00:48:13.880
What do you think of that?
And that's yeah, that's fantastic bit of
580
00:48:13.920 --> 00:48:17.239
information. And the great thing was
that this show was very familiar to people.
581
00:48:17.239 --> 00:48:20.719
It was very easy because they got
to spend a wheel that had a
582
00:48:20.760 --> 00:48:24.159
different you know, different money or
different amounts of money, and then they
583
00:48:24.199 --> 00:48:29.440
also got to guess the letters.
You know, there was a phrase or
584
00:48:29.480 --> 00:48:32.400
a word, it was kind of
like a hangman the game. Yes,
585
00:48:32.519 --> 00:48:36.159
and it was, and so you
yeah, you got to guess you know,
586
00:48:36.199 --> 00:48:38.320
certain letters until they started. You
know, if you got the letter
587
00:48:38.360 --> 00:48:43.280
write, they'd flip them over.
Then you you had a chance after a
588
00:48:43.400 --> 00:48:47.039
clue to guess what the word or
what the phrase was. And uh,
589
00:48:47.199 --> 00:48:51.800
I remember everybody played at home,
oh, trying to guess, and we'd
590
00:48:51.800 --> 00:48:53.840
all call the contestants idiots at times. You remember that, Yeah, yeah,
591
00:48:54.079 --> 00:48:59.239
remember that. I always got a
kick out of. Sometimes when the
592
00:48:59.239 --> 00:49:05.360
show would start, Pat would introduce
the guests and he would always say,
593
00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:07.480
hey, do you have something interesting
to say to you? Are a studio
594
00:49:07.559 --> 00:49:12.920
audience about you? And then they
would say their story, and sometimes he
595
00:49:12.960 --> 00:49:17.039
would have to give it a little
bit more ooph than the guest said it,
596
00:49:17.239 --> 00:49:20.880
and it was like, if you
already know the story, Pat,
597
00:49:20.920 --> 00:49:22.119
why are you gonna make them say
it? Why don't you just tell us
598
00:49:22.119 --> 00:49:27.360
the story because it'll be more enlightening
and more colorful. You know. The
599
00:49:27.400 --> 00:49:31.920
other thing that was very remember when
you would get those those numbskulls that would
600
00:49:31.920 --> 00:49:36.119
have pretty much everything spelled up,
but they're missing one bowl and they're still
601
00:49:36.119 --> 00:49:38.079
getting the word wrong and you're sitting
there going, why God you more,
602
00:49:38.119 --> 00:49:43.079
I'll get a dictionary or was that
just me? I don't know, No,
603
00:49:43.280 --> 00:49:46.199
Yeah, you're absolutely right. All
right, So the next game.
604
00:49:46.280 --> 00:49:50.559
I've got two games left for you, and I'm probably gonna stump you on
605
00:49:50.599 --> 00:49:57.360
this. Maybe maybe, Okay.
This game is originally from the seventies,
606
00:49:58.079 --> 00:50:01.960
but it played on into the eighties. Meach some nineteen eighty six. I
607
00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:07.360
will give you a clue to this
next game. It was hosted The presenter
608
00:50:07.559 --> 00:50:16.119
was Jack Barry, and this was
the game. Sounds like you just entered
609
00:50:17.079 --> 00:50:22.199
some weird landages say, I was
thinking family feud, but this is not
610
00:50:22.360 --> 00:50:28.000
family feud. This is can you
remember wield a Fortune? No? No,
611
00:50:28.000 --> 00:50:36.519
no, it was a It had
you basically played card by swinging an
612
00:50:36.679 --> 00:50:40.199
arm and depending on your on the
hand that you were dealt, you get
613
00:50:40.199 --> 00:50:45.760
to, you know, answer some
questions. When some money it no but
614
00:50:45.079 --> 00:50:47.639
not car. You swung that arm
towards you. You know. It's kind
615
00:50:47.639 --> 00:50:52.599
of like those vegas arms on the
slot machines. And that's the idea.
616
00:50:52.679 --> 00:50:55.039
It was kind of like this humongous
slot machine. But if you got the
617
00:50:55.119 --> 00:50:59.360
Devil, do you remember that if
you got the Devil. It was kind
618
00:50:59.360 --> 00:51:05.679
of like a stripe, so the
Devil, and it was called the Joker's
619
00:51:05.880 --> 00:51:09.880
Wild that's right. And then you
would hear the guy go joker, Joker,
620
00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:15.679
Joker. Yes, And I could
not think of the name of the
621
00:51:15.800 --> 00:51:19.840
game, but I kind of had
the concept, but I was thinking exactly
622
00:51:19.880 --> 00:51:24.320
what that game and the rules of
the game and the competition of that game,
623
00:51:24.320 --> 00:51:30.159
but I could not remember the damn
name. You see what happens Sinceconnald
624
00:51:30.159 --> 00:51:34.880
when you're sitting here drinking an eye
cold beverage of heinekin. And here's the
625
00:51:35.039 --> 00:51:42.000
thirty two degrees off. Now here's
the interesting thing that that was a very
626
00:51:42.039 --> 00:51:45.079
successful show. Then they revamped it
in twenty seventeen. Guess who was the
627
00:51:45.119 --> 00:51:50.719
host? Oh, I don't have
no idea, tell me, please wise
628
00:51:50.800 --> 00:51:59.360
one Snoop Dog Folk Show. Yes, right, yeah, Snoop Dog was
629
00:51:59.400 --> 00:52:02.800
the host of Jokers. He was
always loaded. I bet you he was
630
00:52:02.840 --> 00:52:10.400
stolen out of without a doubt.
Oh my god, bro. All right,
631
00:52:10.480 --> 00:52:15.480
and for the last show. This
is the bonus of Bonus Rounds because
632
00:52:15.559 --> 00:52:22.880
this show was it was. It
started in nineteen eighty nine. I'll give
633
00:52:22.920 --> 00:52:28.320
you a little bit of background on
this show. It aired weekly in syndication
634
00:52:28.440 --> 00:52:32.920
from September eighty nine to May nineteen
ninety six. All right, I'm gonna
635
00:52:32.920 --> 00:52:45.039
play the song and see if you
can guess what the show was. American
636
00:52:45.119 --> 00:52:49.639
Gladiator. Oh my goodness, you
got that right, my friend. On
637
00:52:49.760 --> 00:52:57.719
the very first shot, that's Ryan. It was American Gladiators. It matched
638
00:52:57.719 --> 00:53:01.639
the cast of amateur athletes against each
other there as well as the show's own
639
00:53:01.719 --> 00:53:06.920
gladiators. So basically it was it
was a show of having contests of strength
640
00:53:06.960 --> 00:53:12.679
and agility. They'd put up like
normal people to go up against their gladiators
641
00:53:12.920 --> 00:53:20.039
rodgers big time. Yeah. And
some of those gladiators they look like cartoon
642
00:53:20.159 --> 00:53:22.719
drawings. I mean, even though
women were gentled and bumped up. Yeah,
643
00:53:22.719 --> 00:53:29.079
their main their main characters were Gemini, Diamond, Laser, Turbo Dallas.
644
00:53:30.280 --> 00:53:35.960
It sounds like a who's who of
strippers all the way around. Yeah,
645
00:53:36.079 --> 00:53:40.679
it sounds like a bunch of roid
raging strippers. And after the stage
646
00:53:40.679 --> 00:53:45.800
comes draw Diamond, I'm gonna snap
it off with my butt cheeks. Whoa
647
00:53:46.239 --> 00:53:52.599
girl, slow it down? And
so in front of this That was a
648
00:53:52.679 --> 00:53:55.480
great show I used to That's another
show I would watch with my children.
649
00:53:55.559 --> 00:53:59.719
We would all gather around him,
you know, and it was always my
650
00:53:59.760 --> 00:54:05.840
girls were always cheering for one of
the female gladiators, uh to kind of
651
00:54:06.760 --> 00:54:09.559
be victorious over some of the common
people that went to the joke. I
652
00:54:09.639 --> 00:54:14.119
bet you me and you could have
kicked some major ass on that job.
653
00:54:14.159 --> 00:54:15.559
Oh back then, I would have
loved it. Yeah, I would have
654
00:54:15.599 --> 00:54:20.519
loved it, because wouldn't you have
Yeah, yeah, because they weren't fast.
655
00:54:20.920 --> 00:54:22.880
They weren't fast because they were all
buffed they were all buffed out.
656
00:54:23.320 --> 00:54:27.280
Yes, And who would you have
liked to have gone against? I would
657
00:54:27.320 --> 00:54:30.760
have liked you have taken Turbo to
the match because he was a big cat.
658
00:54:30.960 --> 00:54:32.840
You could just like, you know, if you if you've got the
659
00:54:32.880 --> 00:54:37.280
moves and you got some speed and
you can joke, you could get around
660
00:54:37.360 --> 00:54:39.480
him. You could get right past
him and put some of those nerve balls
661
00:54:39.480 --> 00:54:45.079
into the old canister. Brother.
I want I wanted to give I wanted
662
00:54:45.079 --> 00:54:49.920
to give Dallas. I want to
give her. I wanted to give Dallas
663
00:54:49.920 --> 00:54:54.800
a wedgie back then, her and
I wanted to basically slap Gemini and uh,
664
00:54:54.920 --> 00:55:00.480
Laser and Turbo, Yeah, yeah, Laser and Turbo. They were
665
00:55:00.559 --> 00:55:07.599
just like they used to look like
human figures. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
666
00:55:07.719 --> 00:55:13.320
yeah, yeah, But that that
was back in the eighties when when
667
00:55:13.599 --> 00:55:16.000
these you know, these game shows
gave birth to so many of of the
668
00:55:16.079 --> 00:55:20.960
games that we have today. For
example, American Gladiators gave gave birth to
669
00:55:21.119 --> 00:55:25.440
the all these American Ninja Warriors and
all these types of shows. Now,
670
00:55:28.320 --> 00:55:35.039
they they had character, they had
they had a certain attitude to the show,
671
00:55:35.760 --> 00:55:37.320
and it makes I mean, it
was the first time we were seeing
672
00:55:37.400 --> 00:55:42.039
something like that, So that's why
it was so exciting to us. Kind
673
00:55:42.039 --> 00:55:46.679
of a bit of flamboyancy, I
would say, the American Gladiators, Yeah,
674
00:55:46.719 --> 00:55:52.199
I would say all the game shows
had a certain notch of comedy in
675
00:55:52.280 --> 00:55:59.119
it, which always made it more
fun to tune into and uh kind of
676
00:55:59.119 --> 00:56:04.280
lose yourself in the television mode of
the time slots where we did have the
677
00:56:04.320 --> 00:56:08.119
game shows, as opposed to when
you went into family, family, adult
678
00:56:08.199 --> 00:56:14.119
type TV shows, which kicked in
about nine o'clock, the game show was
679
00:56:14.159 --> 00:56:17.639
always the family, neighbor friendly type
thing that you can do. You could
680
00:56:17.679 --> 00:56:21.679
have a couple of drinks, or
you could be sober, but you just
681
00:56:21.719 --> 00:56:24.760
went in and you had nothing but
good fun playing a game. As adults
682
00:56:24.760 --> 00:56:29.519
on TV, but remembering what it
was like to play board games as a
683
00:56:29.599 --> 00:56:35.760
kid. Yeah, and I remember
American gladiators. These guys they all you
684
00:56:35.800 --> 00:56:37.760
know, I guess a lot of
people made fun of them. They called
685
00:56:37.800 --> 00:56:42.800
them, you know, like the
WWF back then, the WWF of you
686
00:56:42.840 --> 00:56:45.960
know, of game shows, because
a lot of these these cats could have
687
00:56:45.000 --> 00:56:50.199
been wrestlers, you know. All
right, this is you are listening to
688
00:56:50.239 --> 00:56:53.480
back to the eighties. When we
come back, we've got tangres and a
689
00:56:53.480 --> 00:56:57.280
little bit more. Don't go away, Hey, some of you remember the
690
00:56:57.320 --> 00:57:01.360
eighties fibe right, Well it littles
loud and proud on back to the eighties
691
00:57:01.679 --> 00:57:15.039

692
00:57:15.159 --> 00:57:21.880
kind of a chang with you.
And this is that part of the show
693
00:57:21.920 --> 00:57:24.280
where we talk about those things that
made us angry back in the eighties,
694
00:57:25.480 --> 00:57:31.400
but with a twist in honor of
the most wondrous chang we now call them
695
00:57:31.519 --> 00:57:37.679
changrys. So chang what made you
changry back in the eighties, Well,
696
00:57:37.760 --> 00:57:43.719
you know what made me changry back
in the eighties about game shows? Yeah,
697
00:57:44.800 --> 00:57:49.320
Richard Dawson kissing everybody that guy.
Well, that guy. If I
698
00:57:49.360 --> 00:57:51.679
would have if he would have kissed
my wife, I would have said,
699
00:57:51.679 --> 00:57:54.280
hey, Richard, could you put
kydie put your lips upon my two butt
700
00:57:54.320 --> 00:57:59.960
cheeks beneath my trousers. You know
what got me chingery back in the eight
701
00:58:00.639 --> 00:58:05.800
when people used to play and get
called on the prices right, they used
702
00:58:05.800 --> 00:58:09.960
to guess almost exactly what the amount
was, and the person the last person
703
00:58:10.440 --> 00:58:19.079
would guess one dollar over theirs and
they would win it. You know what

used to get me changry back in
