Let's Go Back to 1983

WEBVTT

1
00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:15.160
Oh that's right. Even listening to
Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney was Si Si

2
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:22.000
SI, Nigel. Michael Jackson had
some hits, but nothing quite as Ringo

3
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:26.640
and the Boys, and in this
case Paul McCartney, what a great duo.

4
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:29.160
Too bad they got in the flights
all the time. Hey, well

5
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:31.440
you know, well, I have
to tell you this. Well, I

6
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:34.359
have to tell you going back a
bit back in the radio, I remember

7
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:38.399
interviewing a couple of the Beatles and
it was on the DBC and it was

8
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:42.520
a really quick interview. I directed
that question to both Paul McCartney and John

9
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:46.520
Lennon, but it was I got
two different responses. It was almost like

10
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:49.960
a bit of divorce before and even
approach of you, not a blogging the

11
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:54.479
boat anyway, the question I proceed
to ask both, I said, what

12
00:00:55.000 --> 00:01:00.359
is the difference between your writing and
his writing as you cover the type of

13
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:06.799
love and piece songs And the answer
was just different. Now, Paul McCartney

14
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:11.280
is so you don't forget you go
to call him sir Sir Paul McCartney.

15
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:17.680
Oh that's right, I forgot.
My apologies to you, Sir Paul McCartney.

16
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:23.000
He seemed to be so much in
love, even more with his hair

17
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:29.200
styles than he was with creating music
with John Lennon. And John Lennon who

18
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:33.120
was blindsided by the beautiful Yoka I
would know at that time she was just

19
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:38.120
devastatingly gorgeous and very ethnic looking.
I could see how he was captivated and

20
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:44.159
the love of his woman that would
keep him with straight. But it also

21
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:49.840
didn't help when Paul McCartney wrote a
song called Hey Jude, and I'm sure

22
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.680
you're familiar with that, just like
our lovely listeners. Hey Jude was about

23
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:59.760
his son Joe. I've gotten this
story to tell you about. You know,

24
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.640
back when I was a little bloke, I decided to go into to

25
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:07.719
work for Queen Mother. It wasn't
too exciting though I only saw her one

26
00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:13.400
time. Well actually I only saw
the back of her heels. I thought

27
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:17.360
it looked lovely, lovely shoes.
Now, what were you doing with the

28
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:23.719
viewpoint of the back of the heels? Was she tending the garden? Was

29
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:27.039
she? Now? I was?
I was fixing the bathroom. I was

30
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.960
fixing the bathroom because I worked for
the janitorial Engineering department. Hey Nigel,

31
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:37.039
I was just thinking over there in
America with the election process and everything that

32
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:39.199
they're going through, you know,
and the pandemic, etc. You know

33
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:44.439
what what bombs me out the most, Disneyland is not open yet. Where

34
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:47.719
else am I going to be able
to go and find jac You know he

35
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:54.560
goes to Disneyland five hundred times a
year. You have to understand Jayc's mentality.

36
00:02:54.960 --> 00:03:00.280
He moved to Las Vegas, the
city of sin was that football team

37
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:07.919
has now taken residence, the Raiders. Oh, they just they elude corruption.

38
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:13.840
Speaking of corruption, the corruption back
of the state is horrendous. I

39
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:21.080
agree with the devastating virus going on, with the civil lockdowns, this ridiculous

40
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:28.240
election when they should surely have a
royal family in charge. I couldn't a

41
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:31.280
certainly better myself. This makes me
so nostalgic that I wish I could go

42
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:36.000
back to a better time. I
was thinking of going back to the eighties

43
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:39.120
and getting that Remember that model that
came out in the movie The Blue Lagoon.

44
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:43.639
What was her name, Brooke?
Oh? I believe her name was

45
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:47.120
Brookshields. Oh, yes, Brookshields. You know there's nothing better they haven't

46
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:52.319
Brookshields cook you some good old English
breakfast. Well, if You're going back

47
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.360
to the eighties, so am I, and we're going to have a flipper

48
00:03:54.439 --> 00:04:14.199
coin to see who's going to be
seventeen with Brookshield your Dirty Branco Loves one

49
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:25.439
point plenty. Welcome back to the
eighties, the radio show that brings back

50
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:30.160
the nostalgic moments of the decade of
access and brings them to a whole new

51
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.120
generation. It's Friday, that's right, Friday, December eleventh, and here

52
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:36.480
in the US, we're still not
over all the election madness, and it

53
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:41.360
doesn't matter who you voted for.
I just can't wait at least to get

54
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:44.839
all of this behind us. The
pandemic seems not to be letting up,

55
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:47.720
and the worst part is that there
are too many tragedies hitting home for Christmas

56
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.920
and the New Year. And all
we can do is do our best to

57
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:56.040
be a part of the solution and
not the problem. So thanks for listening

58
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:59.920
today and every Friday, we got
a great, great show. We're gonna

59
00:04:59.920 --> 00:05:04.560
be talking about some of the most
memorable moments of nineteen eighty three with me

60
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:11.319
today, ladies and gentlemen, and
every single Friday is a man that has

61
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:18.399
fought more hair band frontmen than anyone
else. The one, the only the

62
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:23.639
Chang. Good to see you,
brother. Hear ye, hear ye.

63
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:29.560
It is I, the one and
only the Chang on the hang. It's

64
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:34.199
time to bang with back to the
eighties. I am doing changtastic. I

65
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:40.040
hope all of our beautiful listeners all
across the globe in the UK, Australia,

66
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:47.639
Germany, Mexico, California, Washington, Utah, Montana, New Jersey,

67
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:54.639
New York, everywhere Man New Jersey, I hope you all are changarriffic.

68
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:58.759
And on the lighter side, this
is back to the eighties, a

69
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:02.680
show that we are going to give
you non stopped smiles. And remember to

70
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:08.120
hit us on our Patreon page.
Every little bit helps. That's right.

71
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:14.639
The other thing before we get started
in to a very nostalgic show, it

72
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:19.519
was forty years ago December eighth,
that the great John Lennon was taken from

73
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:25.279
our lives. Most of us of
that generation can remember. Most of us

74
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:30.040
have grown up with Beatles music.
Some of us feel the exact same way

75
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:36.879
as John Lennon did as a humanitarian, as somewhat of a peace loving individual.

76
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:43.360
Forty years ago, on December eighth, he was taken, murdered an

77
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.720
assassinated right out of his own apartment. The news came out here in the

78
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:51.480
States on Monday Night Football by Howard
Cosal, who was a good friend of

79
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:58.879
John Lennon's and actually interviewed John Lennon
several weeks before his murder. And that

80
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:02.639
was a game on Monday Night where
the New England Patriots we're taking on the

81
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:09.040
Miami Dolphins. We want to go
on put our hearts and souls out to

82
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:14.120
remember that we all need to do
what John Lennon tried to make us do,

83
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:18.680
and that is to love everybody with
compassion, care, and understanding.

84
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:24.600
Those are the three components that we
all need to have to make this place

85
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:27.680
a better place. Well, like
I said, we've got a great show

86
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:31.040
coming up, so stick around because

105
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:05.519
Love la oh Randy Newman? Of
course how could I? So you probably

106
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:09.600
missed that song a lout then well, actually I have that downloaded on my

107
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:13.679
phone and I weep to it daily. I will not lie. I weep

108
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:18.279
to it daily. All I have
to hear, all I have to here

109
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:22.080
is no no, no, no, no no. And then I like,

110
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:26.519
let's roll it down. If you're
real, haway, bigness, you're

111
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:33.919
rid of my side. Saw.
For those of you who are not familiar

112
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.600
with the LA area, maybe you're
out of the country or out to say

113
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:41.240
you just never have been to California, and you know, especially Los Angeles,

114
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:46.399
listen to the song because those are
all real areas in Los Angeles and

115
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.559
maybe you've moved out of LA and
you remember that song, remember traveling those

116
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:54.679
streets in those areas and those sites. Yes, yeah, I can get

117
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.639
somebody pretty nostalgic. I would definitely
say. So. There's another song back

118
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:01.200
in the eighties at Billy Joel came
up with, and that is say Goodbye

119
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:05.720
to Hollywood. So maybe you might
want to get familiar with that. They're

120
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.960
they're very good songs that you know, if you're an Angelino like me or

121
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:13.320
many others that have left Los Angeles. People get homesick when they, you

122
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:16.840
know, when they leave home and
you hear maybe a certain song or you

123
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:20.120
see something and remind you of home. You'll get a little teary eyed.

124
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:24.759
And those are two songs that will
make the Chang weep like I was at

125
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:28.759
a wedding. Any Way, today, we're going to do something very special

126
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:33.080
because we're going to hone in on
a year in the eighties. The year

127
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:37.519
is nineteen eighty three. Lots of
stuff happened in nineteen eighty three that we're

128
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.519
going to be talking about, but
I want to talk about the first memorable

129
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:45.960
moment, and we need to hear
it firsthand from the Chang because it was

130
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:50.840
the year that he graduated high school. So from that year nineteen eighty three,

131
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:54.000
Chang, what is the most memorable
moment in that year for you?

132
00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:58.200
For the Chang, what happened in
nineteen eighty three for you that you will

133
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:05.639
forever have in your heart. That
would be attending the US Festival for three

134
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:13.879
days. That musical event symbolizes my
youth and symbolizes my love of rock and

135
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:18.120
roll. I saw great bands on
heavy Metal Day. On Alternative Music Day,

136
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:22.440
I saw the Clash, I saw
the Pretenders, I saw Tom Petty.

137
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:28.279
I also witnessed Judas Priest, Mottley
Crue, triumph Ozzy Osbourne shortly after

138
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:33.240
the death of Randy Rhodes. Van
Halen was the headliner that night, which

139
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:39.720
is very special to me, especially
with recently losing Eddie van Halen to cancer.

140
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.080
Now the US Festival was this just
one stadium, one stage or was

141
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.639
it various stages? Because it wasn't
like Coachella, right, This was not

142
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:50.559
like Coachella. Similar to Coachella,
it's a it's a big event, a

143
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:54.879
lot of people, But Coachella has
several stages because like sometimes at Ozzfest,

144
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:58.960
they'll open up, you know,
smaller stages for smaller bands that are up

145
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:05.480
and coming. But the US Festival
was one stage, one time, one

146
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:11.240
in all big name bands, big
name groups, and they were on the

147
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:16.919
same stage, almost like Woodstock.
I refer to the US Festival as my

148
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:22.639
generations would Stock. You know,
you think that gave birth to Live Aid.

149
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:28.840
It kind of gave way because what
gave way to Live Aid was the

150
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:33.120
concept that they got from the US
Festival and also the cal Jam, which

151
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:37.120
I believe was in eighty and then
one cal Jam one was in seventy eight,

152
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:43.399
maybe seventy nine, somewhere along that, and they took the format of

153
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:50.679
those shows and created the US Festival. Now, the US Festival was a

154
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:54.840
conglomeration of musical acts not only from
Los Angeles or the state, but of

155
00:12:54.879 --> 00:13:00.840
the globe. So we had a
band like Triumph from Canada. You know,

156
00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:03.000
we had a lot of great UK
band, Judas Priests, as I

157
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:09.559
mentioned Ozzy Osbourne. You had great
California bands as in Motley Crue. You

158
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:16.240
had the other great band that performed
a Van Halen. So it was kind

159
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:22.879
of a collaboration of many different styles
of music, many different locations where the

160
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:31.159
bands transpired from, and it was
all for one unnoingly reason to unify people

161
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:35.559
through music. I have to tell
you a lot of people got along.

162
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:37.600
There was not a lot of violence
at the concert. Everybody got along,

163
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:43.480
which we could sure use that now
in today's world, especially here the States.

164
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:50.000
But I remember it being catastrophic for
this eighteen year old to be my

165
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:54.600
mind I was at seventeen and a
half. It was very eye opening.

166
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:58.200
You know, the sexual craze was
out there, the lifestyle of the sex,

167
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.480
drugs, rock and roll was right
in your face. Yet of the

168
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:09.360
rebellion, but the unity that had
brought the great memories meeting people from different

169
00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:13.639
parts of the country, different states
that had all assembled there. It was

170
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:18.679
incredible. I am very fortunate and
blessed to have attended, and very fortunate

171
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:22.440
and blessed to have come out of
it with all my faculties. If you

172
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.360
know what I'm talking about. Oh, yeah, it was. It was

173
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:28.559
so hot. They were shooting water
cannons. They were selling bottled water.

174
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:35.399
By the record. Squirt guns were
a big deal. It was insane.

175
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:39.840
You had to have been there to
see the magnitude and the power of what

176
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:43.840
music does in such a great mass
of an audience. Now, where was

177
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:48.120
this exactly as far as location so
people can get an idea, This was

178
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:54.759
in Glen Hellen Regional Park, which
is located in Sam Bernardino's It's got a

179
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:58.559
different name now. It was over
there by the old Lion Country Safari for

180
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:05.279
some my fellow Angelino, is this
worthy Morongo amphitheaters at now by any chance?

181
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:07.919
Yes, exactly, Yes. So
it's right by the two ten freeway,

182
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:13.039
by the two ten freeway once you
pass Rancho Cucamonga, you know,

183
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.000
leading up to you know, the
road to Vegas. Yeah, yeah,

184
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:20.639
it's like I just said, it
was by the old Lion Country Safari.

185
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:26.480
Maybe some of my fellow Angelinos can
recall Lion Country Safari that was out back

186
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:31.039
in the sixties, seventies and in
the eighties. So it was a it

187
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:35.679
was a great time in music history, my friend, I'll tell you that

188
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:37.000
much. Well, that's too bad. I missed him, man, But

189
00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:41.360
that was in nineteen eighty three.
I was only eleven years old, my

190
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:45.519
friend. So, wow, I
was watching the Smurfs or something. Anyway,

191
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:48.159
Yeah, you were playing with toys
and I was playing with girls.

192
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:52.879
I think so. Yeah, you'd
be surprised though. Anyway, I do

193
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:54.080
it no your dirty. I do
want to remind you, guys that the

194
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:58.519
last Friday of this month of December, the last Friday of this month of

195
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:03.600
December, we're going to be doing
something different for everybody. So we are

196
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:07.480
going to be having the regular radio
show. But in addition, if you

197
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:11.320
go over to Spotify and you search
us up, we're going to be playing

198
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:17.200
music from the eighties. That's right. If you go to Spotify the last

199
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:21.480
Friday of this month, Tuscano and
chang On back to the eighties are going

200
00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:26.519
to present to you guys the music
of the eighties. Our love of music

201
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:29.720
is very key to both of us. I mean, I believe that's exactly

202
00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:33.840
why we're going to attempt us to
bring out some of the great music that

203
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:37.159
both you and I grew up listening
to, some of the music that has

204
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:42.200
inspired us, some of the music
that is healed some of the not so

205
00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:49.120
pleasant times in our life. Because
everyone knows when you have certain things go

206
00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:53.159
wrong in life and you become a
little sad or a little dejected, music

207
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:57.559
is always a number one thing that
takes your mind to feeling a lot better.

208
00:16:57.759 --> 00:17:02.639
I'm looking forward to this, and
the thing I'm giddy about is both

209
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:07.119
of us our musical prowess is similar
but different, and I think by embarking

210
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:15.119
on this type of terrestrial rock and
roll, classic eighties music show is going

211
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:19.720
to give people a big smile on
their face because we're going to hit everything

212
00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:26.119
from Madonna to Metallica. Am I
lying to you everything from metal to rock,

213
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:32.799
to soft pop to soft rock,
everything across the board, and especially

214
00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:37.519
taking a lot of the requests from
you, So don't forget to drop us

215
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:41.160
in a note at our Facebook page, drop us a note, let us

216
00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:42.799
know what you want to hear.
For the last variety of this month a

217
00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:48.519
special program of back to the eighties. So we learned a little bit about

218
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:51.440
Yu Chang. By the way,
in nineteen eighty three was a great year

219
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:53.079
if you're a wine drinker. It
was a great year for Bordeaux, by

220
00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:59.000
the way. So pick yourself one
up today and send one over to Tuscano,

221
00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:03.359
and Chang will be more than happy
to drink it here on the show.

222
00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:06.519
And you know if you if you
send us a bottle, we'll have

223
00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:11.000
you on the air with us to
enjoy together. So let's kick it all

224
00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:15.599
off with baseball here in the United
States. Baltimore Orioles had won the World

225
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:18.319
Series back then. Do you remember
that World Series? Yes, I do,

226
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:22.079
and I hated it because my Dodgers
were not in it. That's right,

227
00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:25.240
they were not in it. And
you know what else. In nineteen

228
00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:30.920
eighty three the NBA Finals Philadelphia seventy
six Ers versus the Lakers. Philadelphia seventy

229
00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:36.880
six Ers beat the Lakers four games
to zero, four games to zero.

230
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:41.240
Moses Malone was the MVP and they
beat the Lakers on that final game one

231
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:45.920
fifteen one oh eight. Goatic Johnson. This is a three pointer. But

232
00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:52.079
Philadelphia seventy six ers, Mara's Chicks
Quiet, don't kick on the sparks,

233
00:18:53.920 --> 00:19:00.440
and Billy has done it finally at
one second left, one o'clock. I

234
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:07.960
don't think they're gonna play it at
one second. I remember that series.

235
00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:12.599
That series was very, very tough. You had Magic Johnson going against the

236
00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:19.039
legend Mo Malone and the legend himself
as in Julius Irving. And the ironic

237
00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:27.559
thing about that it was kind of
the ABA's greatest talents against the NBA's greatest

238
00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:30.240
talent. And I don't know if
you recall this, or some of our

239
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:36.880
listeners may or they may not remember
that the ABA and the NBA were two

240
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:45.400
different professional basketball entities that did come
together, and the Philadelphia seventy Sixers was

241
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:52.559
a different name for the ABTABA team
that was the New Jersey Nets, which

242
00:19:52.640 --> 00:20:00.160
fashioned similar uniforms as the seventy sixers
did, and they had i'd say maybe

243
00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:03.240
three or four of the Philadelphia seventy
six ers that were near Jersey Nets,

244
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:07.839
including Malone and Doctor j. That's
an interesting fact because I remember, at

245
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:12.720
least on the American football side,
the NFL was the NFL and the AFL.

246
00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:17.480
I remember that they had him separate. Let's right, yes, yes,

247
00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:22.279
when the NFL and the AFL did
merge, the owner of the Oakland

248
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:30.119
Raiders was the commissioner of the AFL
L Davis, which when they came together

249
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:33.559
and they joined his one league into
the NFL. L Davis had so many

250
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:38.440
problems and gave so many problems to
the commissioner, Pete Roselle because he was

251
00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:44.680
L. Davis was a very shrewd
businessman. He was totally against free agency.

252
00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:48.759
He was against other players just playing
for the dollar. But that's another

253
00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:52.759
story we can go into later.
But two leagues that were very similar,

254
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:57.079
they came together to make this entity
that they are now. Something else that

255
00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:02.359
happened in nineteen eighty three, and
this is more for children in Japan,

256
00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:07.480
believe it or not. So Nintendo
came up with a computer system called the

257
00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:11.839
Famicom that so it's the family computer, but in reality it was the first

258
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:18.480
Nintendo nes to play video games.
That same console was later released a few

259
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:22.119
years later here in the United States. Yeah, so Japan got to enjoy

260
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:29.359
the nes way way before anybody here. Now, were you the kind of

261
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:34.720
person that had video games at your
house or did you belong to a homestead

262
00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:37.559
like I did, where my mom
said, oh, you want a pac

263
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:41.799
Man, and she cut up a
tortilla and did the pac man sign,

264
00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:48.480
and she goes, here, here's
your pac Man. Look at it,

265
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:53.519
and me three, look at here. Let me tell you the quick story.

266
00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:59.359
And I think I've reminded everybody before
about that, so I'll never forget.

267
00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:03.960
This is about nineteen eighty yeah,
about nineteen eighty two eighty three.

268
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:07.279
I come from I come from school, by the way, at ten and

269
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:11.839
eleven years old. Yes, I
walked home a mile and a half from

270
00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:15.680
school all by myself. And which
is well, no, there was no

271
00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:18.920
so here in southern California. It
was in Downey. Come on there,

272
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:23.000
there's no snow there. And my
buddy and myself we used to walk from

273
00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:27.319
school every single day, unlike today, right. But anyway, So I

274
00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:32.359
get home and my mom is waiting
with you know, something to eat,

275
00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:36.640
and she goes, hey, I
got you a surprise. And during that

276
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:38.640
time I was bugging my mom to
death. I kept on saying, you

277
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:41.880
know, I really didn't want a
pack Man, but I wanted that little

278
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:45.359
mini arcade games, you remember those. I wanted a donkey Kongs, my

279
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:48.039
favorite came of all time. Back
then, I see where they got your

280
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:53.359
name from. Yeah, yeah,
Mario, yes exactly. And so she

281
00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:56.240
goes, I got your surprise,
and I said really, And so I'm

282
00:22:56.279 --> 00:23:00.839
eating right, so my back is
towards her. She's in the kitchen,

283
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:03.240
and she says, yeah, you're
gonna love it. She goes, close

284
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:07.559
your eyes, and as I said, okay. And I was used to

285
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:10.160
it because my mom and my dad, well usually my dad would get me

286
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:14.559
a surprise every Friday. You'd get
me either a Star Wars figure or a

287
00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:18.160
Hot Wheels car. Every single Friday
he had a surprise for me. So

288
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:19.680
in this case it was different because
it was my mom. And I said,

289
00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:25.519
oh, okay, well she got
me a surprise. Okay, great,

290
00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:27.720
And so I have my eyes shut, my back towards her, and

291
00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:32.680
she says, I know you've been
wanting the pac Man so much. And

292
00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:33.640
I thought to myself, well,
it's not the pac Man, but I

293
00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:37.160
will take it. So guess what
I got you? A pac Man?

294
00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:41.119
And I'm still with my eyes closed, and she goes, are you ready?

295
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:45.319
Turn around? And so when I
turned around, she held in front

296
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:51.880
of me a corn tortilla split down
the middle in the shape of pac Man,

297
00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:55.319
and she opened and closed the tortilla
and she goes, here you go,

298
00:23:55.680 --> 00:24:02.440
here's your pac Man. I'll finish
your lunch. Ah Man, that

299
00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:04.519
is brutal. That's that's uh,
that's Mexican love right there. Bro,

300
00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:10.240
that's scarring. That's scarring. That'll
scar any child. I would be like,

301
00:24:10.279 --> 00:24:12.279
I would never eat another corn tortilla
again. I would be like,

302
00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:18.599
how dare my mom, Madre?
I boycotted tortillas for a long time.

303
00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:22.160
Yeah, and I guess that's why
I stuck to Italian food for the rest

304
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:25.720
of my days after that. Yeah, I would be very upset. Now

305
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:30.000
we paid our own homage to pac
Man. Back in the eighties, I

306
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:33.480
would, of course. I was
a bit older than you and a bit

307
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:37.559
more devious than you. We used
to set up shots on the coffee table

308
00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:42.359
kind of in the same formation as
pac Man, and we cut a lemon

309
00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:48.480
to look like the pac Man,
and we would roll dice. So whatever

310
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:52.519
number you got, that means the
lemon. Pac Man gobbles up so many

311
00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:57.640
shots. So you have to hit
those shots of quell in it hill.

312
00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:06.240
You'll find yourself physically going, oh
my gosh, well, listen up,

313
00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:08.319
stay tuned, don't go away,
because when we come back, we've got

314
00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:11.440
more to Skyto and Cheng madness.
Here, I'm back to the eighties and

315
00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:15.079
nineteen eighty three. Hey, if
you listen to rock and roll radio in

316
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:19.559
the eighties, then listen to this, to Skanto and Chang. They will

317
00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:26.559
transport you back in time, back
to the eighties. We never stopped,

318
00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:34.039

hurt, NonStop, unforgettable memories from the

319
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:45.160
eighties, Stack to the eighties.
Welcome back to the eighties. We are

320
00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:48.799
your host to Skanto and Chang.
Our hope that you are all hanging and

321
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:53.799
banging on this fine Friday. Today
we are talking about the great nineteen eighty

322
00:25:53.839 --> 00:26:00.640
three. Yes, myself was a
graduate of Montebello High School. Taskano was

323
00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:07.680
playing with Star Wars figures and wearing
wearing one piece jammies. If you want

324
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:12.480
a visualize I was wearing. I
was wearing my Superman under roots. Now,

325
00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:18.000
did you wear gran animals back in
the eighties, No, No,

326
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:22.200
I wore Believe it or not,
I wore under roots in the very early

327
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:26.200
eighties. I loved my under roots. I was Superman and I had a

328
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:29.920
spider manager, you know, I
would have probably got myself some Captain America

329
00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:33.799
underwear, but that would have looked
freaky on on a fifteen year old guy

330
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:37.880
with h Yeah, I don't know
about Captain America on a fifteen year old

331
00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:42.920
insane what's up with this guy?
All right? So we're talking about nineteen

332
00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:47.839
eighty three. If you just joined
us here on the back to the eighties

333
00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:52.640
Toscano and Jake Madness train, we're
talking about that great year in nineteen eighty

334
00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:57.920
three, and we started talking about
a little bit about baseball basketball. Let's

335
00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:06.640
move on over to nineteen eighty three's
top rock pop song. Nineteen eighty three

336
00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:11.240
Top rock pop song. Let me
give you a little taste of what made

337
00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:19.559
nineteen eighty three all that much better
in music? The Police, That's right.

338
00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:26.160
So nineteen eighty three brought us staying
in the police and topping the charts.

339
00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:33.559
Was Every Breath you take? Man, What a great song. Such

340
00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:37.319
a great song that even in twenty
twenty, my friend, it's been used

341
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:44.359
in movies, in commercials, they
used it as spoofs. Uh you know,

342
00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:51.279
even even uh Sean Combs P Diddy
has used it. The instrumentals to

343
00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:59.559
rap over it. Hey, you
know what I want to throw a fun

344
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:03.079
Yeah, go ahead. Average cost
of a brand new house in nineteen eighty

345
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:07.759
three, you're nineteen eighty three average
cost for a home. Can I take

346
00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:14.480
a guess a nineteen eighty three,
I'm going to say sixty seventy thousand.

347
00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:18.720
You're close, but you miss it
by by a good Martin It was eighty

348
00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:26.240
two thousand dollars that you could buy
a brand new home in nineteen eighty Now,

349
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:30.400
trip out on this now in California, of course, we're seeing high

350
00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:33.960
rents at no end right, correct, rents keep going up, right.

351
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:37.920
The average monthly rent back then was
three hundred and thirty five dollars. Yeah.

352
00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:41.160
And you know the funny thing is, I remember that. I remember.

353
00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:47.880
See my mom bought our first home. She had to divorce my dad

354
00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:49.640
and that's when she was able to
buy a home because my dad never wanted

355
00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:56.079
to buy anything. But she bought
a house for eighty nine. It was

356
00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:03.640
ninety two thousand in nineteen eight four. Wow. Yeah, in Santa Fe

357
00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:08.200
Springs. And I'll never forget because
the house was a four bedroom house,

358
00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:12.480
it had a den. I'd had
a two car garage, a big backyard,

359
00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:18.480
and just lots of great memories.
But wow, three hundred dollars for

360
00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:22.799
rent unbelievable. In the year twenty
twenty, here in southern California, people

361
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:30.319
are paying two to three thousand dollars
to rent a two bedroom apartment. Homelessness

362
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:34.519
in California alone has gotten gone up, I'd say forty percent in comparison to

363
00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:38.839
what you could rent a dwelling for
them. And you could get a gallon

364
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:47.079
of milk for a dollar. Amazing, amazing. And don't you wish we

365
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:49.640
can go back to the eighties?
You know now, you know, when

366
00:29:49.640 --> 00:29:55.119
you listen to those prices, you
go, you know, screw the technology.

367
00:29:55.359 --> 00:29:56.759
Take me back to those prices,
and you know, so there be

368
00:29:57.240 --> 00:30:00.920
some some tool out they're always going. Yeah, but we didn't make much

369
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:07.319
either. You know. What all
I can tell you is that the top

370
00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:23.279
song in metal in nineteen eighty three
was my favorite song for Dio nineteen eighty

371
00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:30.039
three, he brought us deal with
Holy Diver. Man, I love this

372
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:33.160
song. Every time I hear this
song, brother, it just gives me

373
00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:41.000
chills. I love, love,
love Holy Diver. I went to go

374
00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:45.720
see that tour Rodney James Dio Dial
and the Holy Diver Tool with my good

375
00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:49.480
friend who was no longer with us
anymore, Rayney Varrazza, and we also

376
00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:55.759
saw a deal when he debuted himself
with Black Sabbath. After all, the

377
00:30:55.839 --> 00:30:59.440
Osbourne had been fired from the bed. So I was able to see the

378
00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:03.799
late great Ronnie James Deal twice in
two different bands, and I was very

379
00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:10.519
blessed and fortant. It fortunate to
meet Ronnie James Deal several years after in

380
00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:15.400
the nineties of late nineties. When
I went to go see I was about

381
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:19.119
to say, didn't you meet the
Deal? I mean you got to spend

382
00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:23.599
some time and chat away. Man. I got to have a couple of

383
00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:27.279
drinks with him in the back.
We had a good two hour conversation.

384
00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:33.480
We were sitting in with with such
great musicians as the band I just mentioned

385
00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:41.119
Tesla was their show. We met
Carlos, not Carlos, I mean Rudy

386
00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:45.359
Sarzel, the bass player, former
bass player of Quiet Riot and former bass

387
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:52.519
player of Ozzie Tommy Aldridge, who
was a drummer. We met Vinnie Popassy

388
00:31:52.680 --> 00:32:00.720
who was sat in behind the drums
with Black Sabbath with Deal to we had

389
00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:06.079
to it was. It was a
very trippy conversation because you know, I

390
00:32:06.599 --> 00:32:08.799
showed him nothing but respect. I
told him what I felt about his music

391
00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:15.759
and what his lyrics meant to many
of us back in the eighties. We

392
00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:20.680
talked about the state of music and
the state of metal within that time frame,

393
00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:23.759
and we also talked about parenthood.
You know, he also had kids.

394
00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:28.119
I had younger kids at the time
that I got to meet him.

395
00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:35.319
So it was a really a very
enlightening, influencing conversation that I'm very blessed

396
00:32:35.319 --> 00:32:37.799
and fortunate, like I said it
before, to have in my memory bank.

397
00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:42.960
Uh, you know, he's no
longer with us, and I decided

398
00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:47.240
not to act like your typical fan
and ask him like for an autograph or

399
00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:51.119
seemed to be yeah, but wouldn't
have it. Wouldn't it have been great

400
00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:55.119
back then to have your cell phone
and take a selfie with a great deal.

401
00:32:55.960 --> 00:32:58.359
It would have been. It would
have been great. Oh, it

402
00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:00.160
would have been. It was.
It would have been great, because I

403
00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:05.039
mean, if I could get a
picture of so many of the rock stars

404
00:33:05.039 --> 00:33:10.480
that I've encountered throughout my chang terrific
life stretch, I would be posting them

405
00:33:10.559 --> 00:33:14.680
up on our Facebook page, and
I swear people would probably think I'm some

406
00:33:14.839 --> 00:33:20.160
famous rock and roller, but I
was very fortunate to be in the thick

407
00:33:20.200 --> 00:33:24.559
of things during the eighties, in
the rock and roll era of the eighties.

408
00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:28.200
And I'm talking about going to Hollywood
and go into the cat House,

409
00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:30.920
the Troubadoor. Yeah, you were
in the scene. I mean you were

410
00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:37.279
there when everything was starting and happening, and when rock was basically not only

411
00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:44.160
still changing things, but also in
a sense coming to an end. Yeah,

412
00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:49.079
how it was, you know,
and then before it started evolving into

413
00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:52.680
what it eventually got to be.
Anyway, that's another time. Me and

414
00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:55.599
my buddies we've met David Lee Roth. That's the Troubadore. Now, we

415
00:33:55.599 --> 00:34:00.400
were going to the Troubadoor because we
were going to go watch the and at

416
00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:04.640
the time, Rat, which you
know, was an up and coming great

417
00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:08.079
band of Los Angeles. Yeah,
great band. And uh we walked in

418
00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:12.440
and we had a few uh let's
say, about a half hour before we

419
00:34:12.440 --> 00:34:15.800
were going to be allowed into the
back, you know, to check out

420
00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:17.960
the bat before the show started,
and we went into the bar err and

421
00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:22.880
there lo and behold was Diamond.
David Lee Roth sitting there with a leather

422
00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:27.400
jacket, a Levi jacket over it, your typical rock and roll genre type

423
00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:30.840
of guy, a scarf around him. Was he alone or was? I

424
00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:35.800
mean, he wasn't performing right,
he was just there. He was alone

425
00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:39.320
and trip out on this. He
rode his bicycle to the Troopador. His

426
00:34:39.440 --> 00:34:45.199
bike had a big puffy leopard seat
on it. It had a sissy bar.

427
00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:49.280
Uh, it had a light on
it. It looked like a motorcycle,

428
00:34:50.760 --> 00:34:52.239
but it was a bicycle, yeah, you know. And then we

429
00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:55.960
walked in and you know, we
were standing there waiting to get seen by

430
00:34:57.000 --> 00:35:00.880
the bartender, and Diamond Day called
up to us and he goes, hey,

431
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:06.239
fellas, can we grab a seat
over here? So we proceeded to

432
00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:08.360
go sit over there with Diamond Dave. We had three chairs next to him,

433
00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:14.559
and me and my three buddies had
a conversation with Diamond Dave probably for

434
00:35:14.599 --> 00:35:16.639
about a good half hour until we
were able to go in there and check

435
00:35:16.679 --> 00:35:21.320
out rat. Now, once we
all Diamond Dave went in with us,

436
00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:22.760
we you know, we all gave
our tickets. Dave didn't have to give

437
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:27.400
a ticket, of course, so
we all walked in there, you know,

438
00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:30.000
he slapped us on the back and
then he took off. And then

439
00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:34.840
the next time we've seen him,
he was bolting out the door and heading

440
00:35:34.840 --> 00:35:37.599
towards his bicycle. But it was
pretty cool to meet Diamond Dave. You

441
00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:42.440
know, absolutely, he's a pretty
cool dude. Pretty cool dude. Check

442
00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:45.519
this out. We talked him about
the songs, and now I want to

443
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:50.639
talk to you about the top selling
car, top selling car. Do you

444
00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:53.840
have any idea what the top selling
car was. I'd have to say,

445
00:35:54.199 --> 00:36:00.920
Man, I'm gonna go on a
limb and say the four Granada. No,

446
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:05.800
the top selling car of nineteen eighty
three, the beautiful Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme.

447
00:36:06.119 --> 00:36:09.039
Now, believe it or not,
Although that was the top selling car

448
00:36:09.079 --> 00:36:14.000
of nineteen eighty three, I liked
its rival better, the Buick Regal.

449
00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:19.800
To me, the Buick Regal just
uh, it was just such a beautiful

450
00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:22.679
car inside and out. And then
they came up I don't remember. I

451
00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:25.480
don't think it was nineteen eighty three, but later on they came up with

452
00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:30.519
a sports version of the of the
Buck Regal called the Grand National. Yeah,

453
00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:35.920
I remember. I always referred to
the Buick Regal as the ultimate classy

454
00:36:36.079 --> 00:36:40.559
Cholo car because it became a favorite
of all solos. I mean, growing

455
00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:45.239
up where I grew up, there
was so many regals lowered with spinners.

456
00:36:45.159 --> 00:36:49.159
Baby tis just insane, you know
what I mean. And then everybody had

457
00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:52.679
you know the name of their car
club on the back, you know what

458
00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:58.760
I mean, The Royals, the
Imperials. I mean, I remember that.

459
00:36:59.039 --> 00:37:00.400
Every time I see you know,
buick, I thought for sure I

460
00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:07.400
was either going to hear a song
from war or tea or you want to

461
00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:12.320
hear something. I had a buddy
of mine whose older brother had a Royal

462
00:37:12.519 --> 00:37:15.320
Blue, and but he sent his
car to get it painted, repainted,

463
00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:20.679
so it was a candy apple blue. Now, picture of this candy apple

464
00:37:20.719 --> 00:37:24.760
blue. He had classics and baby
tires on it, and the car was

465
00:37:24.800 --> 00:37:30.599
just gorgeous, immaculate inside. And
every time he'd come and pick us up

466
00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:34.039
at you know, to go to
school, and I'm talking this is in

467
00:37:34.159 --> 00:37:39.119
junior high, early junior high,
we'd read right into school with I'm your

468
00:37:39.119 --> 00:37:45.559
puppet full blast. So just picture
that, you know what, one of

469
00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:49.280
these days we'll have to call my
good friend in man. Maybe he could

470
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:52.400
be a guest on the show Cholo
Bustle. He's straight out of the eighties,

471
00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:54.880
you know, and I think he's
on He's on parole right now,

472
00:37:55.199 --> 00:37:58.719
so he might be available one time
when we give him a call. Is

473
00:37:58.719 --> 00:38:01.840
he still in Utah? Yeah,
that's what I figured. The number one

474
00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:08.119
pop chart song and the number two
Billie Jean, was number one from Michael

475
00:38:08.199 --> 00:38:13.480
Jackson. He was in Our Skid
earlier. And the second greatest. The

476
00:38:13.559 --> 00:38:20.440
second number one pop top chart was
from the Ultimate Band that shopped at the

477
00:38:20.519 --> 00:38:24.480
Gap, Dexi's Midnight Runners. That's
right, brother, Come on, Eileen,

478
00:38:25.519 --> 00:38:29.760
let's go get some damn you know. I call it the Miller's Outpost

479
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:34.840
music video because it was a Miller's
outpost music. Everything's denim. Everything was

480
00:38:34.920 --> 00:38:37.920
denim, it was, and everybody
was thought having stone washed was the way

481
00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:40.440
to go. All you had to
do was put too much bleach in the

482
00:38:40.519 --> 00:38:44.960
drawing the washing machine, and you're
stonewashed. No. I you know what,

483
00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:47.119
I tried that. My friends lie
to me, Oh dude, just

484
00:38:47.159 --> 00:38:51.719
put some bleach in your in your
washer with your pants, and I took

485
00:38:51.719 --> 00:38:54.679
out my pants and there's like blotches
and spots and it was just disgusting.

486
00:38:55.239 --> 00:38:58.960
My mom goes you know, why
don't we just buy him at Miller's outpost.

487
00:38:59.480 --> 00:39:01.360
I remember the term stonewash, and
I would be like, man,

488
00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:05.840
I'm always stoned when I washed my
clothes. What are you talking about?

489
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:12.159
Oh? Man, I took my
pants into washing with my stash at it,

490
00:39:12.320 --> 00:39:15.280
Man, I gotta dry it out. The best movie or the winner

491
00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:20.719
of the Oscar in nineteen eighty three
was Believe It or not. It was

492
00:39:20.760 --> 00:39:24.000
a drama. I never watched it
because I had read books in history books.

493
00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:30.480
But it was Gandhi. Gandhi was
the best picture in nineteen eighty three.

494
00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:34.000
However, there were two more films
in eighteen eighty three that were a

495
00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:37.199
lot bigger for me. One of
them, of course, is Star Wars

496
00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:44.199
Return of the Jedi. Oh you're
oh, I'm a huge Star Wars buff,

497
00:39:44.360 --> 00:39:47.679
but not the kind that dresses up
as Darth Vader and goes and sleeps

498
00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:51.960
at the theater two night, two
days before. I don't do that,

499
00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:54.519
would Oh, I don't do that, I said, I dress up as

500
00:39:54.599 --> 00:39:58.760
Darth Vader before I go to sleep. Though, Now do you ever dress

501
00:39:58.840 --> 00:40:01.599
up like Darth Vader play games with
your wife? No? But you know

502
00:40:01.679 --> 00:40:07.599
what, that sounds interesting? Though, but with my luck, with my

503
00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:15.519
life. The only costume Madgate is
a dark helmet from Spaceballs. I can't

504
00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:21.679
breathe in this thing. Oh my
gosh. The other film was Flashdance.

505
00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:23.920
Can you believe it? I remember
the girl in Flashdance, But I don't

506
00:40:23.960 --> 00:40:27.440
remember the film. What was it
about? It was about a dancer,

507
00:40:28.239 --> 00:40:36.000
and that's all I remember it was. It was about a dancer. I

508
00:40:36.039 --> 00:40:38.760
just remember she was hot and even
look hotter with water splashing on her.

509
00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:43.840
After that, everything is like,
I better smoke a cigarette. I'm kind

510
00:40:43.840 --> 00:40:46.960
of tired. I need a nap. And that's all will I remember about

511
00:40:47.039 --> 00:40:52.559
that movie. But I do remember. She's a maniac, Maia, She's

512
00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:59.400
got you. Let me tell you
something else that happened in nineteen eighty three,

513
00:40:59.480 --> 00:41:02.199
All right, nineteen eighty three.
One of the most memorable moments for

514
00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:07.800
me as a kid was the day
that we got cable TV and the release

515
00:41:08.719 --> 00:41:15.599
of the greatest video in the history
of music videos. I have something I

516
00:41:15.639 --> 00:41:21.599
want to tell you, Yes,
Michael, I'm not like other guys.

517
00:41:22.280 --> 00:41:30.800
So nineteen eighty three Michael Jackson's release
different the video thriller I Will Never Forget

518
00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:36.800
Chang. How cool? The video
was back then, and even how scary

519
00:41:36.880 --> 00:41:39.519
it was it in certain scenes,
you know, when Michael Jackson starts turning

520
00:41:39.639 --> 00:41:44.639
into that werewolves with the yellow eyes. That freaked me out. Man.

521
00:41:45.199 --> 00:41:49.559
Yeah, and John Landis directed the
video, which John Landis was, you

522
00:41:49.559 --> 00:41:54.519
know, a scary movie director.
And here comes to Michael Jackson in a

523
00:41:55.000 --> 00:42:00.760
basically mini movie made into a video. Did you ever, now, did

524
00:42:00.760 --> 00:42:04.440
you were you want to like Michael
Jackson and buy his albums? I'm gonna

525
00:42:04.480 --> 00:42:08.639
guess not. You know what you
guessed totally incorrect. I was a Michael

526
00:42:08.719 --> 00:42:13.360
Jackson fans, but you know,
I grew up with the Jackson Five or

527
00:42:13.360 --> 00:42:17.280
the Osmonds, so I had that
respect for Michael Jackson. I thought he

528
00:42:17.360 --> 00:42:22.559
was a true gem of treasure.
Not going into his personal life, which

529
00:42:22.599 --> 00:42:27.920
is I cannot pass judgment because I
didn't know the individual and I was not

530
00:42:28.039 --> 00:42:34.079
there. So I can only say
that away from any speculation in his personal

531
00:42:34.159 --> 00:42:42.559
lifestyle or events has nothing to do
with the iconic music that he gave us.

532
00:42:43.320 --> 00:42:51.440
He was light years above anybody in
his musical genre or style. I

533
00:42:51.599 --> 00:42:55.320
think he was a prodigy from a
small child, you know, So I

534
00:42:55.440 --> 00:43:02.800
enjoyed his music, his collaboration with
his collaboration with Eddie van Halen was monumental,

535
00:43:04.559 --> 00:43:08.719
you know, for both the right
yea for the song beat it.

536
00:43:08.840 --> 00:43:12.639
Yeah, I totally dug his music. I thought he was he was kind

537
00:43:12.679 --> 00:43:16.440
of a rocker that could dance.
I'll put to put it Miley, Yeah,

538
00:43:16.440 --> 00:43:21.239
Well, for me, that was
one of the greatest things ever about

539
00:43:21.400 --> 00:43:25.599
nineteen eighty three the release of the
video Thriller, Although the album released nineteen

540
00:43:25.599 --> 00:43:30.559
eighty two, but the actual video
was released in nineteen eighty three, and

541
00:43:30.639 --> 00:43:35.079
so that was one of the biggest
highlights. Another thing that was released in

542
00:43:35.119 --> 00:43:40.119
nineteen eighty three in the video game
world Don Bluth's dragons Layer. Now remember

543
00:43:40.159 --> 00:43:45.079
that game that looked like it was
way ahead of its time, Dragon's Layer

544
00:43:45.519 --> 00:43:51.000
of fantasy adventure where you become a
valiant knights on a quest or rescue the

545
00:43:51.039 --> 00:43:57.400
fair princess from the clutches of an
evil dragon. You controlled the actions of

546
00:43:57.480 --> 00:44:01.000
a daring adventurer finding his way through
the castle of a dark wizard who has

547
00:44:01.039 --> 00:44:05.599
intruded it with treacherous monsters and obstacle. Oh, it looked like a small

548
00:44:05.679 --> 00:44:13.400
cartoon that you were injuring in the
mysterious cobns below the castle Eurado Say continues

549
00:44:13.440 --> 00:44:22.079
against the awesome voices that oppose your
efforts to reach the Dragonslayer lead on Adventurer

550
00:44:22.679 --> 00:44:27.039
Your Quest. Yeah, Dragonslare and
it was also one of the hardest video

551
00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:30.039
games of all. I remember.
I loved the look of it because it's

552
00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:35.960
it was exciting. You're basically playing
with a cartoon and it was so cool.

553
00:44:36.039 --> 00:44:37.519
But you know, you put in
that quarter and then as soon as

554
00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:40.679
that first obstacle came in your way, I would always get killed three times

555
00:44:40.679 --> 00:44:44.480
in a row. I could never
rescue any princess. I don't know.

556
00:44:44.519 --> 00:44:46.000
I think I must have reached maybe
one minute into the game and I was

557
00:44:46.079 --> 00:44:54.440
dead. Yeah, a lot like
sexual sexual activity back in the eighties when

558
00:44:54.440 --> 00:44:59.039
you were very young. After I
think you're going to say, now and

559
00:44:59.159 --> 00:45:01.960
I captured no princess. Now you
know what? You know what? As

560
00:45:01.960 --> 00:45:07.800
we're talking about entertainment. In nineteen
eighty three, the Compact disc was launched

561
00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:14.119
and revolutionalized how we listened to music
today. Nineteen eighty three, the Compact

562
00:45:14.119 --> 00:45:17.280
disc came on. Yeah, I
remember. One of the biggest things that

563
00:45:17.320 --> 00:45:22.440
we all took to compact discs for
is the ability to skip without having to

564
00:45:22.559 --> 00:45:29.920
rewind and things of that nature.
And also the no hiss because you gotta

565
00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:35.159
remember, you gotta remember back then, cassette players they sucked, you know,

566
00:45:35.280 --> 00:45:37.559
the real top of the line players. They were just like today,

567
00:45:37.800 --> 00:45:45.199
very very expensive and only the rich
high fi you know, audio files had

568
00:45:45.239 --> 00:45:47.679
those things. I did, and
I had a boombox, you know,

569
00:45:47.760 --> 00:45:53.159
for breakdancing that I would play cassettes
on and the first thing you'd hear it's,

570
00:45:53.400 --> 00:45:58.119
you know, before the song came
on. But when CDs came on

571
00:45:58.159 --> 00:46:00.440
the scene, I was just floor. I still didn't get one toil,

572
00:46:00.440 --> 00:46:04.400
like I didn't get a CD player
toil like nineteen eighty nine. Well,

573
00:46:04.400 --> 00:46:08.800
the clarity alone was phenomenal, from
the very first CD to the cassette.

574
00:46:09.039 --> 00:46:14.760
But remember cassettes, Depending on the
money that you put out to buy a

575
00:46:14.840 --> 00:46:20.840
cassette, the quality of the cassette
was totally different and could change the sound

576
00:46:20.840 --> 00:46:27.280
of music. If you bought the
metal cassette as opposed to the regular other

577
00:46:27.360 --> 00:46:31.679
type of material that was used.
To remember, the cheaper one would rip

578
00:46:31.719 --> 00:46:36.079
a lot and you would have to
scotch tape them back together. And lists

579
00:46:36.559 --> 00:46:39.480
of Magnus second of your great song
that was one? Yes, do you

580
00:46:39.480 --> 00:46:45.039
remember those clear there's those transparent tapes
that had the eighties colors, the marmorax.

581
00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:47.760
You can find them at the ninety
nine cents store. Those were the

582
00:46:47.840 --> 00:46:52.880
cheapest things around. I didn't know
back then that there were like one,

583
00:46:52.960 --> 00:46:55.239
two, and three type of cassettes, and the Type one was the basic

584
00:46:55.320 --> 00:47:00.039
of the hissy one. Type two
is usually the better one. The Type

585
00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:04.039
three, well, nobody even had
a player to play that Type three,

586
00:47:04.079 --> 00:47:07.480
which is that complete metal tape.
What I have now is I have the

587
00:47:07.519 --> 00:47:13.960
Type two, and believe it or
not, my Type two cassettes sound just

588
00:47:14.159 --> 00:47:16.159
like well, they sound better than
my streaming music, believe it or not.

589
00:47:16.840 --> 00:47:21.440
So if I really want to hear
music, I put on some cassettes

590
00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:25.159
or listen to some vinyls, which
is even better than that. Yeah.

591
00:47:25.159 --> 00:47:30.079
Now here's here's something else that cracked
in nineteen eighty three. I'm sure everybody

592
00:47:30.119 --> 00:47:34.639
out there owns a vacuum or is
owned a vacuum. Correct, Yeah,

593
00:47:34.719 --> 00:47:38.199
yeah, now I hope they do. In nineteen eighty three, James Dyson

594
00:47:38.920 --> 00:47:46.440
change the whole entity of creating of
that. I didn't even know James,

595
00:47:46.760 --> 00:47:51.840
the guy with the yellow vacuums that
cost like about a million dollars. Yes.

596
00:47:52.239 --> 00:47:55.159
Now, the very first vacuum he
created was called the G fours.

597
00:47:55.920 --> 00:48:00.960
Now, I'm sure a lot of
you people out there did not know or

598
00:48:00.159 --> 00:48:08.239
even think about vacuums becoming a state
of the archetype mechanism in your daily household.

599
00:48:08.400 --> 00:48:14.400
US. I'll show them a G
force right. Who where do people

600
00:48:14.440 --> 00:48:19.480
get off asking a thousand dollars for
a vacuum? Geez? And there's more

601
00:48:19.480 --> 00:48:22.639
expensive than that. There's two three
thousand dollars vacuum cleaners that I just can't

602
00:48:22.639 --> 00:48:29.239
believe. Well, it's like it's
almost like paying triple digits for a hybrid

603
00:48:29.280 --> 00:48:32.239
car. Come on, yeah,
you're supposed to be saving me some money,

604
00:48:32.480 --> 00:48:38.760
hybrid. No, that's like no. Back then, vacuum cleaners,

605
00:48:38.960 --> 00:48:45.199
I think my mom had those dirt
devil vacs or something like that. I

606
00:48:45.239 --> 00:48:50.039
mean something that you can get at
any store. Oh dude, we had

607
00:48:50.119 --> 00:48:54.440
that old school, kind of metallic
looking hoover with all kinds of attachments that

608
00:48:54.599 --> 00:49:00.360
weighed like a hundred pounds, so
industrial type. You can actually vacuum like

609
00:49:00.760 --> 00:49:05.360
you can vacuum the Smithsonian with that. Yeah, you know if your carpet's

610
00:49:05.400 --> 00:49:08.800
not TechEd down good. Behind the
baseboard, you can do up everything.

611
00:49:09.079 --> 00:49:15.480
You had those those iconic metal type
hard rubber red wheels on it, remember,

612
00:49:15.639 --> 00:49:17.679
yeah, yeah, it had liked
it was like a bumper car.

613
00:49:19.119 --> 00:49:22.800
Yeah, it looked like a bumper
car with with one headlight. And then

614
00:49:22.800 --> 00:49:27.239
you take it apart. It's got
two fan it's got two bounce in there

615
00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:35.280
like a vehicle, had like a
four barrel carburetor and everything. I just

616
00:49:35.360 --> 00:49:39.159
back in the whole house and zero
to fifteen in five seconds. But I

617
00:49:39.159 --> 00:49:45.320
can't do it too often because gas
is a killer. Yeah. So let's

618
00:49:45.360 --> 00:49:50.000
talk a little bit about the top
actors, top teen or late teen early

619
00:49:50.039 --> 00:49:57.199
adulthood actors of nineteen eighty three.
We had greats such as Tom Cruise,

620
00:49:57.239 --> 00:50:01.400
who did the movie who did a
general for back then. Even today it's

621
00:50:01.480 --> 00:50:05.400
kind of like a porn movie that
he did, and it's called Risky Business.

622
00:50:05.440 --> 00:50:07.119
Do you remember that movie? Yeah, Yeah, that's when he was

623
00:50:07.199 --> 00:50:12.360
He was in his chili chokers and
he came up with his glasses and his

624
00:50:12.440 --> 00:50:15.760
pink shirt and he was, you
know, lip sing and subob Seger and

625
00:50:15.800 --> 00:50:19.320
his chili chokers. Girls went crazy
and I was like, who is this

626
00:50:19.440 --> 00:50:24.199
dude Danson in Chili Choker? Come
on, man, what's up with those

627
00:50:24.199 --> 00:50:29.360
tidy white Another one of the top
actors of those days a female, of

628
00:50:29.360 --> 00:50:32.840
course, a beautiful young lady named
Demi Moore Delicious. She was very popular,

629
00:50:34.000 --> 00:50:39.079
especially when she later on came out
with a group of friends in Saint

630
00:50:39.079 --> 00:50:46.199
Elmo's Fire. Rob Lowe, also
Andrew McCarthy and Molly Ringwald were all starting

631
00:50:46.280 --> 00:50:50.840
to get their groove on in the
movie industry back that's when they were called

632
00:50:50.840 --> 00:50:54.480
the brat Pack, not the rat
Pack, but the glass back that's correct.

633
00:50:55.000 --> 00:51:01.840
That included Emilio Estevez and jud Her
Anthony, Michael Hall, jud hirsh.

634
00:51:01.880 --> 00:51:07.079
That must have been a really interesting
group to hang out with because you

635
00:51:07.599 --> 00:51:10.920
have all this young, raw town
sexuality. You know, you're kind of

636
00:51:10.960 --> 00:51:16.000
getting yourselves cast into the bigger plateau
of the industry, and you're still young

637
00:51:16.159 --> 00:51:22.039
enough to go out there and have
reckless damage and party hardy like a rock

638
00:51:22.079 --> 00:51:25.239
star. I would have loved to
have been hanging out with those cats during

639
00:51:25.280 --> 00:51:29.079
that time, just to get some
insight on what they were all about,

640
00:51:29.159 --> 00:51:34.039
you know what I'm saying. One
of the heart throbs according to Teen magazine

641
00:51:34.039 --> 00:51:37.360
of nineteen eighty three. Back then, and he had just come out on

642
00:51:37.400 --> 00:51:45.119
the scene. Believe it or not, he was twenty five years old when

643
00:51:45.199 --> 00:51:47.519
Karate Kid came out of nineteen eighty
four, But in nineteen eighty three when

644
00:51:47.679 --> 00:51:52.360
when they filmed this, he was
twenty four years old. The guy looked

645
00:51:52.360 --> 00:51:58.000
like he was twelve. Ralph Macho, he was so frail looking. Mister

646
00:51:58.079 --> 00:52:01.760
Miyagi could have kicked his ass.
This is back to the eighties, just

647
00:52:01.920 --> 00:52:07.199
Kino and Chang here. We'll be
right back with changers and a lot more

648
00:52:07.760 --> 00:52:12.000
when the economy was good and the
medal was heavy. Man, back to

649
00:52:12.039 --> 00:52:16.239

and gentlemen, this is the time in

650
00:52:16.800 --> 00:52:21.800
the show here, I'm back to
the eighties when we talk about those things

651
00:52:21.840 --> 00:52:25.800
that made us angry back in the
eighties. And in honor of the most

652
00:52:25.880 --> 00:52:32.159

655
00:52:47.320 --> 00:52:53.320
You know what else got me changry
back in the eighties. Stonewah man,

656
00:52:53.400 --> 00:52:59.320
Did I hate the stonewash look?
Yeah, you know what I hated

657
00:52:59.360 --> 00:53:04.079
back in the eight shoulder pads.
Everybody was an NFL player back then.

658
00:53:05.840 --> 00:53:09.119
Do you know what else made me
angry back in the eighties? All the

659
00:53:09.280 --> 00:53:16.000
Wana Madonna girl look alikes that didn't
put out? That was that was later

660
00:53:16.039 --> 00:53:22.559
though, That was later in the
eighties. It happened, And that,

661
00:53:22.639 --> 00:53:27.719
lady and gentlemen, has been this
week's changers. If you have something that

662
00:53:27.840 --> 00:53:30.440

666
00:53:44.679 --> 00:53:49.039
So we're talking about nineteen eighty three. Chang nineteen eighty three. So guess

667
00:53:49.079 --> 00:53:52.800
what else happened? In nineteen eighty
three, Canada and the United States launched

668
00:53:53.280 --> 00:54:07.960
Jim Henson's Frackle Rock. It was
basically a worldwide program advocating tolerance. Yes,

669
00:54:08.079 --> 00:54:12.199
I remember that. Now. Is
this a show that you watch?

670
00:54:12.239 --> 00:54:15.480
Because I'd never I never once watched
an episode of Fraggle Rock. I know

671
00:54:15.599 --> 00:54:20.480
that it had a humongous following though
a lot of people love Fraggle rockets.

672
00:54:21.000 --> 00:54:22.519
You know, I was already a
teenager, but I will tell you I

673
00:54:22.559 --> 00:54:27.400
did watch Fraggle Rock every now and
then when I was under the influence of

674
00:54:27.440 --> 00:54:31.679
hallucinogetics, and I thought it was
fantastic. You know, you got to

675
00:54:31.719 --> 00:54:37.760
throw in a curveball every now and
then on this h Baseball type game of

676
00:54:37.239 --> 00:54:40.599
radio program that we perform here at
discount and on. Changing back to the

677
00:54:40.599 --> 00:54:45.840
eighties, the first oh deal like
this one. The first Hooters restaurant was

678
00:54:45.840 --> 00:54:51.360
opened in Clearwater, Florida in nineteen
eighty three. Who they're going out of

679
00:54:51.400 --> 00:54:53.760
business. They're going out of business, by the way, Yeah, a

680
00:54:53.960 --> 00:55:00.920
plan too, well, you got
the COVID cod can't U. October seventh,

681
00:55:00.039 --> 00:55:04.920
nineteen eighty three, a plan to
abolish the Greater London Council was announced

682
00:55:05.760 --> 00:55:12.360
and last but at least October twenty
second, in Bonn, West Germany,

683
00:55:12.400 --> 00:55:19.800
people demonstrated for nuclear disarmament. That
and lots more stuff too many to name

684
00:55:19.880 --> 00:55:24.400
happened in nineteen eighty three. My
friend now eighty three, man I mean,

685
00:55:24.440 --> 00:55:29.480
there was so many memorable things happening. Now here's a movie that was

686
00:55:29.519 --> 00:55:32.039
one of my favorites of back in
nineteen eighty three. I'm gonna give you

687
00:55:32.039 --> 00:55:37.440
two on the serious notes. Scarface
came out in nineteen eighty three, starring

688
00:55:37.480 --> 00:55:42.000
al Pacino, was to month in
nineteen eighty as a matter of fact,

689
00:55:42.800 --> 00:55:51.199
and of course, who could forget
the great Griswold family in everybody's favorite ross

690
00:55:51.199 --> 00:55:54.000
country drive for Waldy World. I
mean, I think you're off fucking the

691
00:55:54.000 --> 00:55:58.840
head. We're ten hours from the
fucking fun park and you want to bail

692
00:55:58.880 --> 00:56:01.320
out. Well, I'll tell you
something. This is no longer a vacation.

693
00:56:01.880 --> 00:56:06.880
It's a quest. It's a quest
for fun. I'm gonna have fun,

694
00:56:07.039 --> 00:56:09.079
and you're gonna have fun. We're
all gonna have so much fucking fun.

695
00:56:09.119 --> 00:56:14.679
When lead classic surgery to remove our
goddamn files, you'll be whistling symphony,

696
00:56:14.760 --> 00:56:19.400
dude, to out of your assholes. I gotta be crazy. I'm

697
00:56:19.440 --> 00:56:25.760
gonna pilgrimage to see a Moose phrase
Marty Moose. Holy shit, Dad,

698
00:56:25.800 --> 00:56:31.320
you want to ask for something,
don't tell it's and it's so family loving

699
00:56:31.400 --> 00:56:37.119
oriented and just soul off the chart. Ridiculous on some of the scenarios that

700
00:56:37.199 --> 00:56:39.280
happened to them. I mean led
by Chevy Chase, I mean the great

701
00:56:39.480 --> 00:56:44.639
s and Owl at one time,
who left the show because he got a

702
00:56:44.679 --> 00:56:49.480
big eagle and he slammed banned right
into Hollywood and made everything he touched funny,

703
00:56:49.480 --> 00:56:54.199
including flats. And then they had
the gorgeous Beverly DeAngelo who was married

704
00:56:54.199 --> 00:56:59.320
to al Pacino during the eighties.
That's another fun fact. I'm thrown out

705
00:56:59.320 --> 00:57:04.599
there. Oh really, she was
married to Alpatune. I had no idea.

706
00:57:04.639 --> 00:57:08.679
And Anthony Michael Hall from The Brat
Pack was also the Sun in that

707
00:57:08.719 --> 00:57:13.079
movie if you can remember. Anyway, this is back to the eighties.

708
00:57:13.239 --> 00:57:16.920
It's been great talking and reminiscing about
all those things of one of the greatest

709
00:57:17.000 --> 00:57:21.639
decades of all for me, my
favorite decade of all. You know.

710
00:57:21.719 --> 00:57:24.519
Before we let you go, I
just want to thank everybody who listens Friday

as it is. Let's all do
our part to take care of each other.

721
00:58:12.119 --> 00:58:15.360
Mask up, keep your distance.
We are one race, the human

722
00:58:15.440 --> 00:58:17.920
race. Don't ever forget that and
go out there and stand for somebody or

723
00:58:19.000 --> 00:58:22.639
something bigger than yourself. We'll catch
