00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:17.679
Hello, good day to all.
Welcome to the Doctors know it All show.
2
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:21.679
I'm Heinskits well bet with you,
and I have my partner in crime.
3
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:25.559
Yes, doctors, you forget my
name. No, I was waiting
4
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:30.920
for you to introduce yourself, because
it's always much better. I was having
5
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:37.000
a nice cold beer right now with
Helga. Helga is a thirty six twenty
6
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:42.439
four something. You are so because
I can't look faster through t siks A
7
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:47.280
lot of children? Is he rhodof
Schnitzel, My good friend, doctor,
8
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:52.280
thank you for coming me moment.
I personal rules of wing at home,
9
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:56.719
but I am with Hilga now and
doctor Schnitzel. I was wondering if we
10
00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:02.159
can do something very special today,
and that is to read a letter from
11
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:07.400
somebody in the audience who has written
to us very very nice. I know
12
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:08.920
you have a letter, don't you. Doctor Schnitzel. By the way,
13
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:17.079
put that schnitzel down, you bad
bad man. I cannot help holding my
14
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:23.079
own schnitzel well sort of a pure
You are so great. I have a
15
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.359
letter right here, but I'm not
going to a distribute his name for our
16
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.359
listeners. No, that's as good, you know, doctor, I see
17
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:34.879
some some type of a chemical on
the paper, like for fingerprints. Maybe
18
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:38.719
they were eating fiery cheetos because the
color orange is also wrote a letter,
19
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:45.680
Well, you see, doctor,
I did have our referencing doctor look at
20
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:51.799
it, doctor Schnigel, and he
said it was some kind of a cosmegic.
21
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:57.040
And it's so funny because this letter
comes from America. All America,
22
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.519
oh from zero? What part of
America is a beautiful country. I go
23
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:06.040
there all the time in my dreams. I go to America. Everyone who
24
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:09.800
I am? I want to relieve
myself in public because America is full of
25
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:17.479
a lot of pop pop poopoo.
Anyway, this letter is from an individual
26
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:23.759
who who writes these. He says, hello there, doctors know at all?
27
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:28.840
I am having a very big problem
here in America and my job.
28
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:32.000
I've lost my job, not once, but quite it at all. All
29
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:38.840
of my workers have turned against me, institute nothing but hated about my about
30
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:44.199
about what I am. I have
a heart smoking daughter that I have impure
31
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:50.400
thoughts on, but everybody wants me
gone. I am no longer able to
32
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:54.800
live in some neighborhood that I want
it. I am about to be sued
33
00:02:55.039 --> 00:03:00.840
for everything but my pants and my
asthmatics. Since I put on my face,
34
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:07.439
I need legal help, representation.
I also am in need of friends.
35
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:14.039
How can you doctors help me?
I have lots of money until after
36
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:19.639
I go to trial. Yours truly
loved boy, mister Twitter, Now,
37
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:23.719
doctor, how would you? How
would you help this capitalistum? Starting to
38
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:29.159
think about a letter? I can
tell you very very important, very tricky.
39
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:34.479
This is a very tricky one because
he has a many issues, and
40
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:38.479
one of those issues is about of
friends. Now, friends are not easy
41
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:45.639
to come by, no no,
especially when you are a backstabber owns hands.
42
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:50.800
We can give you a few suggestions
on how to obtain more friends.
43
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:58.639
Now there is amatch dot com which
may be able to offer you more options.
44
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:03.639
Is like these thirty one flavors of
the matchings of friends. Now,
45
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:08.000
loved Boy, you cannot lie on
your application, and you're going to have
46
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:12.120
to show all your tax returns so
that you know the female out and other
47
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:15.319
friends? Are you know you're legitimate? Doctor Schnitzel. Why has your accent
48
00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:20.600
changed in It's Indian? Now explain
that to me. Oh, that is
49
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:27.759
because a brutiful Middle Eastern stepra I
mean girl has just walked into the room,
50
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:30.879
and I can tell you, love
a boy, that in order for
51
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:34.680
you to get not only more friends, but to alleviate many of the circumstances
52
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:41.079
you have gotten yourself into, you
must do one or two things. The
53
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:46.920
first one is you might get your
checkbook and sign a check with five or
54
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:53.680
six zeros, probably seven so paid
to the attention of the Back to the
55
00:04:53.759 --> 00:05:00.519
eighties radio show and owns hands.
What will happen from that point is that
56
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:06.000
we will give you the full advice. But until then we need to receive
57
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:12.360
the check for five, six or
seven figures. Unfortunately, the way he
58
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.839
thinks how it might be going,
we might not even get one penny from
59
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:26.639
you, doctor Rudolf. Mister Laba
boy, I think you must go to
60
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:31.519
the bathroom right now, into the
closet and got yourself. Thank you for
61
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:38.480

130
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:39.600
Wendy Michelle Collins as well. Are
they related to Tom Collins? You
131
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:43.840
know what, I don't know,
but speaking to Tom Collins, that would
132
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:46.919
be a very very good topic to
talk about one of these days. Drinks
133
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:50.679
in the eighties. Oh you know
what, that gets me thirsty? You
134
00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:54.440
know, I remember now that you
said Tom Collins. My mom used to
135
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:58.840
love Tom Collins beverages. You know, as a kid, I'm wondering what
136
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:03.080
the heck is a Tom Collins because
I was only allowed to order Shirley Temples
137
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:09.240
back then. Oh man, I
remember those. I remember when my parents
138
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:11.840
would have people over. We had
a neighbor, right and he would order
139
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:13.960
Tom Collins all the time and tell
my dad, Hey, Pardy, he
140
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:16.679
fixed me up with Tom Collins.
And I would sit there and I'd be
141
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:20.279
like, doesn't this dude know he's
in the housepool at Chicanos. Who the
142
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:22.759
hell's this white guy Tom Collins?
And why is he gonna come over and
143
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:26.000
make drinks? An Now, I
had no idea. Do you know what
144
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:30.279
it is in a Tom Collins If
you don't know, and anybody listening to
145
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:33.000
us around the world, I don't
know if you have Tom Collins in the
146
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:37.240
different parts of the world, but
in here in the United States, a
147
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:43.559
Tom Collins drink is made from gin, lemon juice, sugar, and carbonated
148
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:46.840
water. And believe it or not, it's such an old drink. It
149
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:54.879
was first memorialized in writing in eighteen
seventy six by Jerry Thomas, the father
150
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:58.840
of American mixology. Can you believe
in? So? Basically, it's gin
151
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:05.480
and sparkling lemonade, and it's a
drink typically served in a Colin's glass over
152
00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:09.919
ice. And for those of you
interested, it's one and a half ounce
153
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:13.240
or three parts old Tom gin.
And then you mix the gin with the
154
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:16.840
lemon juice, sugar syrup and a
tall glass, put some ice, top
155
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.159
it with soda water, garner shit, and serve. Oh my gosh,
156
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:22.519
Now you know, I don't know
about that, man. I'm not a
157
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.679
big fan of soda water, are
you. It's either I'm gonna have you
158
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:28.200
don't have to drink the soda water. You don't have to drink the soda
159
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:33.399
water all by itself. Did change? The hater already show up so soon.
160
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:37.799
I hate I hate the sounds of
soda water. I hate I hate
161
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:39.960
the mixture of soda water, to
taste of soda water. I hate anybody
162
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:43.879
that says, give me a soda
water. It's either give me a soda
163
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:46.120
or give me a water, or
give me dead. You know, I
164
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:50.960
love soda water. Actually pellegreno,
Yeah, I love Pellegrino. Yeah.
165
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:56.480
I love soda water, especially with
a little slice of lemon rich there.
166
00:13:56.200 --> 00:14:00.360
Yeah, I love soda water.
You look like the kind of a guy
167
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:07.320
that you know you you would like
schwepts. I'll take a schwepts. Got
168
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:13.759
a hair we'll see. Now.
Do you like tonic water? Let me
169
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:20.080
let me reiterate. I hate tonic
water. I hate using tonic. Tonic
170
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.519
reminds me of hair tonic. I'm
not going to drink that crap. Well,
171
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:26.080
I got a little surprise for you. Change. What do you got?
172
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:28.720
You should not have a bottle of
in the camera. I'll take that
173
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:33.320
from your hands. And what the
hell is wrong with you? I got
174
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:37.120
a little bit of tonic water right
next to me. Now, you know,
175
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:39.679
And I'm sorry that we're going off
a little bit off a topic here
176
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.080
of nineteen eighty eight, but now
that we're seeing tonic water. I heard
177
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:46.399
somewhere down the line that tonic water
has something in it, a chemical in
178
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:50.600
it. It helps you in some
way, your your your system to be
179
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:56.600
ready to kind of reject COVID believe
it or not. So whether it's true
180
00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:00.279
or not, no, I don't
know. I heard it somewhere. It's
181
00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:01.600
probably a lie. You know,
it's on the internet, so who knows.
182
00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:05.559
I heard the same thing about cocaine. But I won't do that either
183
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:11.159
anymore. Brother, Oh Chang,
would you'd like to have a sprints or
184
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:15.759
a tonic water sits with me by
the pool? I hate you more madness
185
00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:18.799
here, I'm back to the eighties
when we come back. I can't believe
186
00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:20.840
it. You pull out tonic waters, I might as well bring out a
187
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:26.240
diet drink. You're woos You can
dispense with the pleasant trees. You're listening
188
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:35.639
to Scuttle and Chang. You don't
know the power back to the eighties.

Now back to good, wholesome,
politically correct entertainment. Oops, wrong station,
197
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:23.399
No, back to the eighties with
Tescano and Cheng. This is back
198
00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:29.240
to the eighties Tescanto and Chang with
you, and Chang was actually making fun
199
00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:32.159
of me because of the tonic water
while we were on break. But you
200
00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:33.399
know, what, what are you
gonna do? I like tonic water.
201
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:36.759
I used to hate it when I
was a kid because it's got this weird
202
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:41.159
aftertaste. But I like it now
and I kind of drink it sometimes like
203
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:44.440
soda old age. I guess,
ladies and gentlemen, I guess, Hey,
204
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:48.000
what are you gonna do? We're
talking about nineteen eighty eight and some
205
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:51.240
of the things that occurred during nineteen
eighty eight. But before we get into
206
00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:53.399
some of the bad news, let's
go with the good news. Nineteen eighty
207
00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:57.519
eight, all Tonic Water was called
back due to its taste of crap.
208
00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:03.359
That's right back in nineteen eighty eight. I wanted to read to you the
209
00:17:03.400 --> 00:17:10.599
top ten songs of nineteen eighty eight, going from number ten all the way
210
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:15.119
to number one. And in this
list, we have some bands that you
211
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:18.640
like, and we have the majority
that you don't like. But we're gonna
212
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:25.079
go anyway. Starting with number ten. The title of the song is roll
213
00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:41.200
with It from Steve Winwood. That
guy is a two telty. Did you
214
00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:44.319
know he was into the music business, recorded his first album, I believe
215
00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:48.839
when he with Spencer Davis or Traffic. But he was sixteen years old when
216
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:55.519
he joined into the music round with
Eric Clapton. Just a little yeah,
217
00:17:55.559 --> 00:17:57.160
I didn't know that. I know
that he plays like a bunch of instruments
218
00:17:57.279 --> 00:18:03.839
and he's an English singer songwriter.
His real name is Stephen Lawrence Winwood.
219
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:07.640
For those of you who wanted to
know, oh nice, Number nine,
220
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:21.279
the song is Hands to Heaven by
Breathe. I brought my hands to Heaven
221
00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:23.440
right Now and I Am Afraid for
You because you drink Talk of Water Now
222
00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:27.839
Breathe was an English pop band formed
in London nineteen eighty four. They had
223
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:32.920
a lot of success in late nineteen
eighties with hit singles like Don't Tell Me
224
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:37.200
Lies and how Can I Fall?
But the group's biggest hit was Hands to
225
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:42.319
Heaven, which reached number two in
the United States in August of nineteen eighty
226
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:48.279
eight. I Think I remember that
song. I think Guy hated it.
227
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:55.400
Yeah, I told you. Speaking
of songs that Chang hates fallen into place
228
00:18:55.599 --> 00:19:00.039
number eight with the song could have
been by a very young lady who was
229
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:04.160
a teen icon. She's most notable
for her nineteen eighty seven cover of the
230
00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:10.599
song I Think We Are Alone Now, originally recorded in nineteen sixty seven by
231
00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:26.160
Tommy James and the Chandels. She
is Tiffany, Yes, Tiffany number seven.
232
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:45.920
Heaven is a place on Earth by
her competitor, and that's Belinda Carlyle,
233
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:51.200
former lead singer of the Go Gos. She was involved in one of
234
00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:55.440
the most successful all time female bands
in history, and went on to have
235
00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:00.240
a pretty good career as a solo
artist as well, number six. The
236
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:07.119
song is so emotional by an icon
of music is She was an American singer
237
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:11.359
and actress, certified as the most
awarded female artist of all time by the
238
00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:22.599
Guinnesses Book of World Records. Whitney, Elizabeth Houston and the rest. He's
239
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:26.599
a great vocalist, A great I'd
say probably there was a true essence and
240
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:34.200
definition of the diva. I mean
that lady started off in gospel music as
241
00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:37.440
a teenager at the family church I
believe, with her sibling, Yeah,
242
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:42.880
and became probably one of the single
most greatest female singers I think of her
243
00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:48.880
time and generation. Besides going back
to Aretha Franklin and Diana Ross, she
244
00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:52.200
was of that caliber. She stood
alone. And then you know, within
245
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:56.240
the eighties and the nineties, we
had many copycasts. We had Mariah Now
246
00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:00.119
I'm married, Now I'm not Carrie, So the was a lot of copycats.
247
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:04.039
But you got to give your props
to Whitney, Broth and the Bodyguard.
248
00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:08.119
Good Lord. Yeah, she was. I would I would rate her
249
00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:14.720
one of the ten hottest women.
How many records do you think she sold
250
00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:18.400
throughout her career. Let's just give
me a give me throw out a number
251
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:23.240
there Okay, I'd say maybe six
hundred and ten million, all right,
252
00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:29.279
So you went a little too far
with sales. With sales of over two
253
00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:33.440
hundred million records worldwide. Nice,
I was going to say that, but
254
00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:37.119
I thought if I was gonna go
with two hundred and twelve million, and
255
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:41.480
then I thought, no, people
are gonna say he is looking right now
256
00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:44.519
at his phone and he's he's googling
it. How dare he know it?
257
00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:48.319
So I thought I'd go far fetched
in the number five spot. This following
258
00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:52.960
band. I'm not even going to
mention the song yet because the following band
259
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:57.039
is an American hard rock band from
La Okay. They were formed in nineteen
260
00:21:57.079 --> 00:22:03.000
eighty five when they signed to Gift
and Records in eighty six, and now
261
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:08.119
this band is pretty infamous when it
comes to their lead singer or their front
262
00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:12.400
man, because he had an encounter
with you, and I wanted you to
263
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:17.559
communicate that encounter. The song is
a sweet child of Mine with guns and
264
00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:19.640
roses. And the person I'm talking
about, of course, is Axel Roles.
265
00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:32.640
Oh yes, asshole Roles. I'd
remember it well. Doctors about the
266
00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:37.079
encounter For those who are listening for
the very first time, talk to us
267
00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:40.640
about that and little encounter you had
with Axel Rose back in the eighties.
268
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:45.480
Now this goes all the way back
to nineteen eighty seven. I was just
269
00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:49.160
a new dad. I was out. I was almost like a serviceman out
270
00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:52.640
on the leaf. I had a
custody of my daughter. I was twenty
271
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:56.839
one years of age at the time, and I was allowed to furlough by
272
00:22:57.039 --> 00:23:00.799
my dad that I can go ahead
and go out, would watch the kid.
273
00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:03.920
So I went out. Me and
my buddies had a couple of drinks
274
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:08.559
in us walking across the street to
go to the higher rooms to go party
275
00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:12.880
out there. And I'm standing at
the street corner. Axel Rose is standing
276
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:15.599
probably about up to my shoulder,
ladies and gentlemen, because he's kind of
277
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:21.000
a small guy, small minded,
small, meek looking bastard. And I
278
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:25.319
got my Chuck Taylor's on my converse, Chuck Taylor's if anybody remember that those
279
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:29.079
are the old g converse, and
I mean mine are white because that's the
280
00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:32.160
way the Chang dresses. You know
what I mean. Boom bam, I'm
281
00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:37.279
like a bright white right asshole rose
Axel Rose. Yes, okay, well
282
00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:40.440
you call him what you want,
and I'll call him what I want.
283
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:45.440
My story means he's asshole rolls and
this guy, uh, he's flicking ashes.
284
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:49.119
Story. I love the way you
say it because I can see your
285
00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:53.240
face. It's hilarious. And I'm
like tripping on the dude right and I'm
286
00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:56.880
looking at him. And then he
throws his cigarette and he gets into my
287
00:23:56.960 --> 00:23:59.279
Chucks and it bounces, you know, some of the ass gets I'm like,
288
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:03.119
chuck, Now, these everybody are
bright white Chuck Taylors, you know
289
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:07.839
what I'm talking about. And they
have blue and gold shoelaces. Double them
290
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:10.279
up back in the eighties like we
used to, you know, to signify
291
00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:12.279
my love of the Los Angeles Rams
at the time. Now, this little
292
00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:17.480
jackass creep gets me ticked off.
So I told him, hey, buddy,
293
00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:19.039
you know, now, was this
hold on a second? So?
294
00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:22.759
Was this as you're crossing the street
or were you guys waiting to cross the
295
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:27.799
street or how they do us the
picture? We were standing there and he
296
00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:30.440
was, you know, taking his
cigarette in and I'm being the chain with
297
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:33.880
my three buddies, you know,
me being who I am, and uh,
298
00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:37.599
we're just standing there. Then it
turns green to walk across right.
299
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:41.279
Yeah, it says walk. We
don't have the little signal, and it
300
00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:45.279
doesn't go dick, dude, It
just said walk back and what it said
301
00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:49.240
don't walk and walk, so it
hits walk and then he throws his cigarette
302
00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:52.400
down, gets into my chucks.
So I mouthed off, you know,
303
00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:56.839
a couple of unkind words. He
mouthed off, a couple of kind words.
304
00:24:56.119 --> 00:25:00.000
My buddy's got to hold me back
on my buddy tells them, hey,
305
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:03.160
to take off buddy because we can't
hold him that long. And wait
306
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:07.039
a second, okay, so back
a little. What did you tell him?
307
00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:10.839
Maybe you can leave out the explicit
words, but what did you tell
308
00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:12.680
him? Kind of give us the
gist of it. I said, look
309
00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:15.920
here, you little f and twerp? You know who do who? Do
310
00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:18.839
you know? Watch out for mother
nature? Don't litter? You got that?
311
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:22.559
And you're my chucks, dude,
my chucks, my white tennis shoes.
312
00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:25.319
I said, I had him not
to f and F and F and
313
00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:27.160
F and crap out of you.
And that's when he said, hey,
314
00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:30.000
f you, who the f do
you think you are? You and your
315
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:34.279
f and chucks? So he actually
said that the head Yeah, and you
316
00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:38.079
know it was an fest, right, you know, but uh, you
317
00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:41.920
know, hey, man, I
was gonna pulverize that little shrip broh,
318
00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:45.519
that little mushroom of a man.
And it's a tripping thing because that's I
319
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:48.519
do dig that bad. He's not
my favorite human being, but he's a
320
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:52.839
good lead singer, right yeah,
because I know that you do like guns
321
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:56.200
and roses. We used to go
check him out at the Cat House in
322
00:25:56.319 --> 00:26:00.759
Hollywood, dude, before or after
the ft. This was way before the
323
00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:04.079
FS oh before the FS Okay,
yeah, yeah, this is what people
324
00:26:04.119 --> 00:26:07.640
were like, Hey, you looked
like that guy on stage and then I
325
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:08.960
just wanted to beat the f out
of them, But you know I never
326
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:14.079
did. Got pretty mellow kind of
guy after that. Let's go back to
327
00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:17.160
the story. So he said that, you said that, he said that,
328
00:26:17.559 --> 00:26:21.359
And how did it all end?
Did you guys actually confront each other?
329
00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:25.160
I mean we did throw bloe.
Didn't hug and say yo, bro,
330
00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:27.279
or we didn't go co write a
song or anything, if that's what
331
00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:30.240
you want to know. No,
did he want to shake your hand or
332
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:33.880
anything like, did he apologize?
There was no hand shaking or nothing.
333
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:36.759
Bro. He went his ways.
My buddies and me. We kept going.
334
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:40.079
He went straight, we went to
the right, and that was it.
335
00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:41.240
Bro all in all, I bet, I bet you we both got
336
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:47.680
laid. So one of my many
touches with fame in the rock and roll
337
00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:52.359
circuit. And boy did I meet
a lot of crazy famous rock and roller
338
00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:55.240
roll in my day. You know, we're gonna do an entire show where
339
00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:59.400
you talk about some of the some
of the experiences that you had with some
340
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:03.880
of the rock and roll bands of
the eighties. Falling into place. Number
341
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:08.440
four is a song by a gentleman
who was an English singer, songwriter,
342
00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:14.559
radio personality, and he rose to
fame through his association with the production trio
343
00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:18.720
Stock Akin Waterman. Now this means
probably nothing to you, but his nineteen
344
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:25.920
eighty seven recording of their song never
Gonna Give You Up was a number one
345
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:34.160
hit single they We're Gonna Give You
Up? Do you know that is he
346
00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:37.279
was the guy who remember when I
first heard that song, that's out man,
347
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:40.519
this brother can sing, and then
I was like, whoa this dude
348
00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:44.960
the white cast. You know.
The interesting thing about him, yeah,
349
00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:48.079
exactly. And the interesting thing about
Rick Astley is that though the years have
350
00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:53.119
passed by the man's pipes are nice
and crystal clear. He can sing just
351
00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:57.400
like he did back then. Number
three, the song is Got My Mind
352
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:03.559
Set on You. Now, this
is the only song by George Harrison that
353
00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:07.000
I really enjoyed in the eighties.
Oh this was a song. Yeah,
354
00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:12.319
the song Got My Mindset on You
was a huge, huge hit, especially
355
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:17.119
if you watched MTV and you watched
the video. But for those of you
356
00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:18.839
who don't know, and I don't
know why you wouldn't know, But George
357
00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:23.400
Harrison was, of course one of
the Beatles. He was the lead guitarist
358
00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:26.240
of the Beatles. As a matter
of fact, he was sometimes called the
359
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:41.680
Quiet Beatles. I got my months, but it's gonna take a money,
360
00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:48.440
Yeah, who was Apparently George Harrison
embraced the Indian culture, so he was,
361
00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:52.440
well, you know, back there
in the sixties and they started in
362
00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:56.079
the seventies. They were all into
some weird things, and they used to
363
00:28:56.119 --> 00:29:00.119
call him the Quiet Beatles. I
had no idea. Yeah, yeah,
364
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:04.039
now you know, George, George
Harrison is the one that got the Beatles
365
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:11.440
going down and they seen the Yogi
and sitting around and learning of the religion.
366
00:29:12.119 --> 00:29:17.039
He is also the one that incorporated
the sitarg on the Beatles album,
367
00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:21.799
and that was heavily influenced for that
album. Right, So Harrison, that
368
00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:25.359
guy was all about spiritual soul.
Brother, that guy was a beautiful man.
369
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:29.440
I'd say he was a rock and
roll angel. Falling into number two
370
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:36.559
the song need You Tonight by in
x As. You know, that's one
371
00:29:36.559 --> 00:29:42.720
of Chang's favorite musical bands, artists
of that generation and time and era in
372
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:47.839
I thought In Excess was an explosive
band. They had different styles, they
373
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:52.160
had soul, They captivated the audience
because I mean they could really wail down
374
00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:56.400
on their instruments and Michael Hutsons one
of the sexiest cats that ever grabbed a
375
00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:07.720
microphone and got kicks off. That's
what I'll say about that fast. You
376
00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:11.640
know they're an Australian rock band.
Is so a big shout out to everybody
377
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:17.319
in Australia, especially to the family
of the Ferris brothers. When they started
378
00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:22.240
in nineteen seventy seven in Sydney in
New South Wales, the band's family members
379
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:27.279
were basist Gary Gary Beers, main
composer and keyboardist Andrew Ferris, drummer John
380
00:30:27.319 --> 00:30:33.359
Ferris, guitarist Tim Ferris and lead
singer and main lyricist Michael that he was
381
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:37.319
bad. That was a great bad
man. It's a shame. That's Michael
382
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:44.519
Hutchinson message to mid a very odd
way that one would you know, perish.
383
00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:48.279
But didn't he die? He didn't
he have an overdose or because it
384
00:30:48.359 --> 00:30:53.279
wasn't a suicide, wasn't. No, he died of a strangulation upon inphyxiation.
385
00:30:53.880 --> 00:31:02.039
And what that is is he was
supposedly hanging himself having sex and oh
386
00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:07.160
really he apparently he hung himself and
killed himself. But there was no partner
387
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:11.000
there, you know, in sex
at least I don't believe I know there
388
00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:15.640
was someone there. I believe it
was a call girl or maybe a one
389
00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:18.359
night Stann obviously a one night Stanning
woman because he was married at the time.
390
00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:23.200
Right. That's how he died,
very odd, very peculiar, but
391
00:31:25.079 --> 00:31:26.319
in a way to where it's like
wow, you know what I mean.
392
00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:30.160
The guy was a sexual magic bro, so you know he had to be
393
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:34.160
getting funky. It's just a it's
a it's a shame that he perished in
394
00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:37.759
the way that he did, getting
as funky as he was getting. Yeah,
395
00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:42.480
that I had no idea but hitting
the number one place for nineteen eighty
396
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:47.400
eight. Out of the top one
hundred songs, we only touched the last
397
00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:53.759
ten and fallen into place number one
with the song faith was English singer George
398
00:31:53.920 --> 00:32:09.480
Michael because I gotta have I was
just thinking about George Michael. I'm not
399
00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:13.240
getting sentimental. But you know what, man, I was not a big
400
00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:17.319
fan of Wham. That just wasn't
my you know, my style. But
401
00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:22.519
well, you know what I mean. I used to wear underwear that said
402
00:32:22.559 --> 00:32:25.920
Choose Life. And uh, I'll
tell you I made those underwear out of
403
00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:29.599
a Choose Life T shirt that I
got awful, girl, I was dating
404
00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:34.240
back in the eighties and they made
really great bridges and uh, the ohs
405
00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:37.480
were choose was kind of was in
the same place as my testicle. But
406
00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:42.599
anyway, anyway, Yeah, like
I would saying, I think I'll always
407
00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:45.559
give him mad respect. I think
he was one of the greatest vocalists of
408
00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:51.200
his time. I think he had
also an exceptional uh different, different type
409
00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:57.240
of range of every soulful himself.
Uh. Obviously the dude was was gorgeous,
410
00:32:57.240 --> 00:33:00.759
bro I mean, you know,
obviously he could probably have had any
411
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:04.039
man, any woman that he wanted. Yeah, I mean the girls threw
412
00:33:04.079 --> 00:33:08.119
themselves at him. You know,
at the guy you have, you have
413
00:33:08.279 --> 00:33:13.599
men and women throwing yourself at you. And then you know, he wented
414
00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:15.680
at a big funk and then he
got in trouble hanging around in that restroom,
415
00:33:17.160 --> 00:33:22.079
right, Yeah, that's right,
and then to sadly die kind of
416
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:28.119
almost like a hermit. Uh,
you know, overweight, very sad.
417
00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:31.720
I don't think he was overweight.
I mean I saw him last the last
418
00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:37.799
interview of a bit of weight,
and that was contributing to his depression.
419
00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:43.440
He had lost his mom prior to
that. Yeah, so I believe he
420
00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:46.319
was. He wasn't on drugs anymore, but I believe he did start drinking
421
00:33:46.720 --> 00:33:51.319
and he had himself a massive heart
attack and left his place. Yeah.
422
00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:54.039
I know. He had pneumonia the
last Yeah, the last interview he gave
423
00:33:55.039 --> 00:34:00.119
in England, he had pneumonia and
then he never recovered from that. M
424
00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:04.519
I've seen him at when they did
the Queen Tribute, and to me,
425
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:07.320
I thought, if anybody was going
to ever lead that band again or some
426
00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:12.199
type of rendition with that band,
it should be George Michael. Absolutely what
427
00:34:12.679 --> 00:34:15.320
it was phenomenal to see them both. This is back to the eighties.
428
00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:20.480
When we come back, we're gonna
be talking about movies of nineteen eighty eight.
429
00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:23.280
Stick Around, Don't Go? Where's
stick Around? Don't Go Anywhere?
430
00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:27.960
I thought about I thought about what
you were talking about. Underwear. Underwear
431
00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:37.440
you're listening to back to the eighties. If you can't wear a spandex jumpsuit,
432
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:46.440
what can you do? This back
to the eighties? Welcome back to
433
00:34:46.559 --> 00:34:50.360
the one on the way back to
the eighties, Toscano, when Chang sitting
434
00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:53.000
right here in the drivers sitting in
the co pilots seat, We're talking about
435
00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:57.840
nineteen eighty eight, and Toscano has
got a list here. We're gonna talk
436
00:34:57.880 --> 00:35:02.800
about some of the most fun kind
of best movies of nineteen eighty eight.
437
00:35:04.360 --> 00:35:08.039
Yeah, no, Donald, what
was your before you get to the list?
438
00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:12.559
What was your favorite movie in nineteen
eighty eight? Oh man, I'm
439
00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:16.000
torn between two movies and you know, well, why don't we just talk
440
00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:22.400
about them? Yeah? One of
them was definitely one of the funniest movies
441
00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:28.079
that has ever come out of Hollywood
cinema. It was a movie about an
442
00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:31.800
African prince that travels to Queens with
his best friend to New York and goes
443
00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:37.880
undercover to find a wife that he
can respect for her intelligence and will.
444
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:43.320
And of course that's with the famous
Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall coming to America.
445
00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:47.440
What I look at these conjectus,
what a miss black Magic? I
446
00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:53.559
feel good. Apparently these are the
best women. Queen. I want to
447
00:35:53.559 --> 00:36:04.000
tear you apart and your friend too. That's right. I think back then,
448
00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:08.760
anything anything Eddie Murphy touched was gold. I mean, obviously Arsenio Hall
449
00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:14.559
OWDs Eddie Murphy a great deal.
Yeah, launching his career. I mean,
450
00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:17.519
you know what Arsenio had. Arsenio
remember Arseniel Hall show back on the
451
00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:21.679
eighties. Yeah, he was a
great host for a late night show.
452
00:36:22.159 --> 00:36:27.039
These movies that I'm mentioning to you
are movies that I can watch today over
453
00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:30.760
and over and over again. I
don't get tired. And if they're on,
454
00:36:30.039 --> 00:36:34.559
I will watch them, and if
they're not, I can always pick
455
00:36:34.639 --> 00:36:37.760
up where I last left off.
I can put them on again. I
456
00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:39.599
mean, I'll never get tired of
these movies. Yea. So these are
457
00:36:39.599 --> 00:36:44.360
the ones that I'm mentioning. And
so I mentioned coming to America, The
458
00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:46.639
other one was about a cop from
New York. See if you can guess
459
00:36:46.639 --> 00:36:51.880
this one. A cop from New
York who tries to save his marriage.
460
00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:58.079
So he comes to La on an
invitation for Christmas and he goes to a
461
00:36:58.199 --> 00:37:04.719
party that his wife's company having at
the very famous Nakatomi Plaza. In the
462
00:37:04.760 --> 00:37:08.320
movie, of course, the Nakatomi
Plaza terrorists take over the party and he's
463
00:37:08.360 --> 00:37:13.119
the one man in this whole building
who saves the day. He's an easy
464
00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:15.840
guy to like, come into the
coast and get together, have few lefts
465
00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:21.519
and a hard man to kill.
And of course I am talking about what
466
00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:25.440
movie chang Oh man, I'm torn
if this is a stallone movie. Let
467
00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:31.559
me tell you it's with Bruce Willis. Bruce Willis, this is uh shit.
468
00:37:32.280 --> 00:37:36.079
They call it a Christmas movie,
but it's not really. Hey,
469
00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:38.480
you know what that is the biggest
debate of all time. Die hard.
470
00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:43.679
I'm gonna tell you something. Yeah, even Bruce Willis said, this is
471
00:37:43.679 --> 00:37:46.639
not a Christmas movie. Look,
it mentions the word Christmas. I don't
472
00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:52.000
know how many times. It's got
Christmas music, it's got Christmas decorations.
473
00:37:52.360 --> 00:37:55.679
It revolves around coming to visit family
for Christmas. It's a Christmas movie,
474
00:37:55.920 --> 00:38:00.440
yeah, exactly. And I mean
you think about some of the things that
475
00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:02.840
we do in Christmas when we get
together with family members and somebody has too
476
00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:08.440
much to drink. It's usually ending
up in a horrific Bruce willis violent movie.
477
00:38:08.760 --> 00:38:12.679
You got a drunk for a drunk. I had a drunk neighbor starting
478
00:38:12.679 --> 00:38:16.880
to fight. Somebody falls on the
Christmas decorations, somebody swears too much,
479
00:38:17.719 --> 00:38:22.440
somebody smacks a chick, somebody gets
caught thrown up in the back. All
480
00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:25.639
hell breaks loose, just like the
movie. So it's a Christmas movie.
481
00:38:25.639 --> 00:38:30.079
For the love of God. It
is. Willis a very fine, very
482
00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:34.840
fine action actor to his own right. Oh, Like I said, this
483
00:38:34.920 --> 00:38:37.840
is a type of movie. I
don't know if it's the type of movie
484
00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:40.719
or it's just that particular movie.
And I like that one just as much
485
00:38:42.840 --> 00:38:46.239
as I did Part two and that's
it. Any any other die hard movie
486
00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:50.800
that came after, I can watch
it, but it's not a big deal.
487
00:38:51.320 --> 00:38:53.360
But one and two, Yeah,
I agree with you. Anytime you
488
00:38:53.440 --> 00:38:58.760
have a movie and then they do
number two, oh you run, you
489
00:38:58.840 --> 00:39:00.320
run the risk of it being a
bit cheesy. But then you get three,
490
00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:04.559
four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten gets
491
00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:07.119
it gets a little bit ridiculous.
Now, so I have a movie right
492
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:09.760
here from nineteen eighty eight. Yeah, Now, is this a movie you
493
00:39:09.760 --> 00:39:13.280
can watch over and over again.
You'll never get tired of the movie.
494
00:39:13.280 --> 00:39:15.840
You can watch over and over again. Now, this this is my favorite
495
00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:20.320
movie. It's rain Man. Of
course, I'm an excellent driver, drive
496
00:39:20.440 --> 00:39:22.400
slow on the driveway. But there's
only twenty eight miles on the dominantance.
497
00:39:22.440 --> 00:39:24.960
I can go over to week ago, last Saturday. It should be more
498
00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:31.239
than twenty eight miles. This cutman
is your brother with Dustin Hoffman, you
499
00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:35.840
know what I mean? And Tom
Cruise having the award for this movie and
500
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:39.960
Tom Cruise, you know, And
I thought that movie was great on four
501
00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:46.800
different levels. Emotionally brings people to
be aware of that type of in a
502
00:39:47.039 --> 00:39:54.000
situation that autistic families have to deal
with, and what we can really get
503
00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:58.760
out of scene that there is a
beauty in autism. A lot of people
504
00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:02.079
want to condemn people there, think
it's taboo, But to me, that
505
00:40:02.159 --> 00:40:07.880
movie showed that they are just as
aware as we are, but they just
506
00:40:07.000 --> 00:40:14.320
cannot carry on a conversation or relate
as we do. I kind of call
507
00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:21.400
them living angels if you can understand
what I mean. They're very sweet individuals,
508
00:40:21.400 --> 00:40:25.119
harmless, They enjoyed some of the
smaller, most beautiful things in life,
509
00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:30.079
and a lot of them are extremely
smart their intelligence level. Like in
510
00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:34.000
the movie rain Man. Now,
believe it or not, I have never
511
00:40:34.039 --> 00:40:37.840
seen it from beginning to end.
I've seen parts of it. Here's the
512
00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:40.199
irony of all this, though.
And when they were making the movie,
513
00:40:40.280 --> 00:40:44.519
there was a scene there where they're
at the train station. Do you remember
514
00:40:44.559 --> 00:40:46.960
this scene they're at the train station. One of my friends worked at the
515
00:40:47.000 --> 00:40:52.159
train station in Santa Ana, California
and Orange County, which is where they
516
00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:55.519
did that particular scene. Yeah,
And I got to spend a few days
517
00:40:55.840 --> 00:40:59.719
watching them make the movie, and
I got to meet a few of the
518
00:40:59.800 --> 00:41:04.639
actors that were there. Really Yeah, because my my buddy worked in the
519
00:41:04.679 --> 00:41:08.159
snack area and he was making sandwiches
at the time, and he actually I'm
520
00:41:08.199 --> 00:41:10.239
not sure if he came out in
the movie or not. I'd have to
521
00:41:10.599 --> 00:41:15.000
look at the movie or watch the
movie again. But this grossed one hundred
522
00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:23.239
and seventy eight point eight million dollars. Rainman wowe. Another movie that I
523
00:41:23.239 --> 00:41:29.000
can watch over and over again.
It is about about a little boy who
524
00:41:29.440 --> 00:41:31.599
was a little well he was a
teenage boy who wakes up the next morning
525
00:41:31.639 --> 00:41:49.800
after making a wish that he wanted
to be big big wad gosh. Twentieth
526
00:41:49.800 --> 00:42:04.039
Century Fox Presents Tom Hank I turned
into grow Up from now One. Remember
527
00:42:04.079 --> 00:42:07.639
that movie with Tom Hanks. Yeah, that was the funny movie. Fantastic
528
00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:14.719
movie. Now Tom Hanks Originally he
was on Buzzom Buddies of that TV Buzzom
529
00:42:14.760 --> 00:42:17.280
Buddies. Yes, some buddies for
a stretch And he started off as a
530
00:42:17.320 --> 00:42:22.239
stand up comedian. And I mean, look where he is transpired to now
531
00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:28.360
he's uh, he's kind of like
Hollywood, Yeah, Hollywood Royalty exactly,
532
00:42:28.639 --> 00:42:35.199
except when people find out he's a
liberal Democrat and he's hated. And what's
533
00:42:35.199 --> 00:42:37.760
another one of the movies that we
can watch over and over again. Well,
534
00:42:37.760 --> 00:42:40.800
I'm going to tell you another one
of the movies that hit really really
535
00:42:40.800 --> 00:42:45.599
big is a comedy, but it
was more of a spoof. A movie
536
00:42:45.599 --> 00:42:50.800
that made fun of other movies and
made fun of politics, made fun of
537
00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:54.800
pretty much anything, religion, everything. That was with a very famous actor
538
00:42:55.119 --> 00:43:02.039
Leslie Nielsen and that was the Naked
Gun from the Fire Police Squad. Those
539
00:43:02.119 --> 00:43:07.119
movies were hysterical. I mean from
Airplane on and what's the first thing that
540
00:43:07.159 --> 00:43:12.280
comes to mind. I don't mean
to be off key or bring any but
541
00:43:12.400 --> 00:43:15.960
down is O. J. Simpson
And his comedic role in that movie was
542
00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:22.800
outrageous. He did good. Yeah, Leslie Nielsen was like an icon on
543
00:43:22.920 --> 00:43:29.320
giving you straight faced stupidity at its
finest in every role that he played where
544
00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:34.159
he was some type of a clown
of that type. I mean that movie
545
00:43:34.159 --> 00:43:37.679
alone is it's a It's it's an
iconic classic. It could be a cult
546
00:43:37.719 --> 00:43:42.480
film, kind of a cult type
of classic film. I would say,
547
00:43:42.480 --> 00:43:45.000
how about you, do you not
agree that's a movie you can watch your
548
00:43:45.039 --> 00:43:46.400
family over. Yeah. Like I
said, it's one of the movies that
549
00:43:46.440 --> 00:43:51.599
you can watch over and over again, and it still rings with a great
550
00:43:51.760 --> 00:43:54.760
comedic twist even today. So I
mean, it's it's it's great. Another
551
00:43:54.760 --> 00:43:59.679
one of the movies that I have
here on my action list was with Sylvester
552
00:43:59.679 --> 00:44:05.440
Shalo own as he mounts up in
Rambo three. And this is where Rambo
553
00:44:05.599 --> 00:44:09.039
mounts up on a mission to rescue
one of his friends Colonel Troutman from the
554
00:44:09.119 --> 00:44:15.400
clutches of the Formidable invading Soviet forces
in Afghanistan. One of the funniest things
555
00:44:15.400 --> 00:44:20.679
about the eighties was that everybody was
so paranoid. You remember this. Everybody
556
00:44:20.760 --> 00:44:23.679
was so paranoid. And anytime they
had bad people in a movie, you
557
00:44:23.719 --> 00:44:27.559
know, a country that wanted to
take over or fight us, it was
558
00:44:27.599 --> 00:44:31.599
always the Russians in the movie.
Remember that. And then we started picking
559
00:44:31.599 --> 00:44:36.239
on the Middle Eastern and then we
wonder why we're in the mess up?
560
00:44:36.320 --> 00:44:38.800
We are here in America, always
picking a fight with somebody else. It's
561
00:44:38.840 --> 00:44:44.079
like that Bullies that goes from a
neighborhood to neighborhood, messing around with kids.
562
00:44:44.360 --> 00:44:46.320
And the bottom line is stay in
your own neighborhood, keep to your
563
00:44:46.320 --> 00:44:50.719
own business. You have no right
to judge anybody else because you can't take
564
00:44:50.719 --> 00:44:52.400
care of the garbage in your own
yard. Yeah, piss all night.
565
00:44:53.039 --> 00:44:58.119
And you know, here's a movie
that was one of one of my favorite
566
00:44:58.119 --> 00:45:06.719
movies back in the nineteen eighty eight, The Blob. If it had a
567
00:45:06.840 --> 00:45:14.480
mind, you could reason with it. If it had a body, you
568
00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:21.039
could shoot it. If it had
a heart, you could kill it.
569
00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:25.079
I don't know if you were into
side. I saw the Blob and I
570
00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:30.960
saw it with I remember it was
a special I believe it was a Vira
571
00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:36.079
Mistress of the Dark show to remember
that the most gorgeous, voluptuous woman of
572
00:45:36.119 --> 00:45:39.119
you I as being as a young
Chang, every woman that I wanted to
573
00:45:39.159 --> 00:45:43.719
go out with had to resemble a
Vira. Yeah, that was just like
574
00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:49.800
the heavy metal goddess at the Chang
craved and longed for back Cassandra Peterson.
575
00:45:49.840 --> 00:45:52.880
By the way, Cassandra Peterson will
be I guess I'm back to the eighties
576
00:45:53.239 --> 00:45:57.360
very soon. I'll keep you posted
on that. But yeah, so we
577
00:45:57.760 --> 00:46:02.719
did make fun of a lot of
people from from other countries. And one
578
00:46:02.760 --> 00:46:07.280
of the movies that Arnold Schwarzenegger came
out in it didn't really gross too much
579
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:13.519
money back then, but he came
playing the part of a Russian police officer
580
00:46:14.119 --> 00:46:20.519
who came to the United States to
any teamed up with Jim Belushi, who
581
00:46:20.519 --> 00:46:25.119
played a police officer here in Chicago, and they search for a Georgian drug
582
00:46:25.159 --> 00:46:30.800
lord who had killed I guess Arnold
Schwarzenger's partner about do you remember blood Sport
583
00:46:30.920 --> 00:46:37.280
with the Great banda. Yeah,
well that was that nineteen eighty eight century.
584
00:46:37.440 --> 00:46:39.760
It was nineteen eight of the Black
Dragon has sanctioned to the ancient right
585
00:46:39.840 --> 00:46:47.159
of combat known as the Koubte,
open only to the world's most Sul warriors.
586
00:46:47.960 --> 00:46:52.960
It has never been won by a
Westerner. You are not Japanese.
587
00:46:52.159 --> 00:46:55.320
I can do it. Now.
For the first time, the true story
588
00:46:55.360 --> 00:47:01.079
of America's super Agent Franks can be
revealed. Uncle Sam kind of wow.
589
00:47:01.599 --> 00:47:06.679
Yeah, I remember the movie because
you know, Van Dan became another one
590
00:47:06.679 --> 00:47:12.400
of those iconic eighties action stars,
and you know, I remember wanting to
591
00:47:12.440 --> 00:47:14.960
be just like him, except for
the part where he did the splits,
592
00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:16.239
and he ended up doing the splits
in every single movie, remember that.
593
00:47:16.480 --> 00:47:20.000
Yeah? Yeah, But you know
what, which I thought was incredible.
594
00:47:20.039 --> 00:47:22.239
I wish I could have done that
back in the eighties, you know what
595
00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:24.159
I mean. I mean, but
the guy was chiseled like a like a
596
00:47:24.519 --> 00:47:29.199
like a stude of armor, like
a mountain. I always wanted to see
597
00:47:29.280 --> 00:47:32.840
him and Brendan Lee go ahead and
step into the ring and see who would
598
00:47:34.440 --> 00:47:36.800
tap out or throw each other to
the ground first. You know, I
599
00:47:36.800 --> 00:47:38.960
thought that would have been a pretty
epic fight. The son of Bruce Lee
600
00:47:39.320 --> 00:47:45.320
and another individual that is probably just
as deadly as Bruce Lee, but not
601
00:47:45.440 --> 00:47:51.039
quite as fast as the late great
master Bruce Lee himself. Yeah. Two
602
00:47:51.039 --> 00:47:53.280
more movies that I got on my
list, and one of them, believe
603
00:47:53.280 --> 00:48:00.519
it or not, was called The
Deadpool with of course dirty Harry Callahan himself
604
00:48:00.840 --> 00:48:05.960
Clint Eastwood. Now, I wonder
do you do you remember this movie?
605
00:48:06.239 --> 00:48:12.880
Yes? Okay, there was a
very very famous comedian that was making his
606
00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:20.280
debut in that movie, and he
played the part of the satanic hard rocker.
607
00:48:20.719 --> 00:48:23.280
Do you remember that scene? Do
you remember that person? The actor
608
00:48:23.320 --> 00:48:27.760
who played that? Oh? I
think that was was that Sam Kennison?
609
00:48:28.079 --> 00:48:36.000
No, it was Jim Carrey.
You're out of sync? John? Yeah?
610
00:48:36.039 --> 00:48:44.320
What them? Where can I sing
with sploding all over the place?
611
00:48:44.440 --> 00:48:46.039
Well, I don't see why we
couldn't shoot on a nice, warm sound
612
00:48:46.119 --> 00:48:52.079
stage instead of a goddamn meat locker
so the audience can see your breast when
613
00:48:52.119 --> 00:48:55.639
you sing. It's an effect brilliant. Won't the original or creative, but
614
00:48:55.719 --> 00:49:00.400
at least my asshole, what the
hell's that supposed to me? Means a
615
00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:06.800
director with talent would have the guts
to shoot something original instead of ripping off
616
00:49:06.920 --> 00:49:14.599
old movies like The Exorcist. That's
a hummage, stupid can handle it up
617
00:49:14.599 --> 00:49:22.639
my film? I what, just
let me go back to the trailer and
618
00:49:22.880 --> 00:49:29.760
get it together and then we'll kick
some mess o. Good okay, when
619
00:49:29.800 --> 00:49:32.880
I got a call, got a
cud place. But Johnny, Jim Carrey
620
00:49:34.079 --> 00:49:39.480
came out in that movie and played
the part of the supposed satanic type Heavy
621
00:49:39.559 --> 00:49:45.960
Medler. And you know there's a
killer. I see that again. Yeah,
622
00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:49.719
there's a killer killing famous people or
killing a bunch of people, you
623
00:49:49.800 --> 00:49:53.400
know, one of these um serial
killers. And the Meddler guy there,
624
00:49:53.440 --> 00:49:59.119
Heavy Medler guy, was on the
list and he ends up dying and it's
625
00:49:59.159 --> 00:50:02.280
a it's a hilarious this thing to
know that it was Jim Carrey. Who
626
00:50:02.280 --> 00:50:06.280
would have ever thought? Who would
have thought? I mean, because we
627
00:50:06.360 --> 00:50:09.039
didn't really he didn't become a household
name too. He was in a Living
628
00:50:09.119 --> 00:50:15.800
Color with the Wagons Brothers and the
Wagons Sisters. Yep. Absolutely. The
629
00:50:15.880 --> 00:50:19.719
last movie that I have on the
list is two young teens that are always
630
00:50:19.719 --> 00:50:23.880
striving to get their license to be
able to drive, and the movies called
631
00:50:23.920 --> 00:50:29.320
License to Drive nineteen eighty eight and
that was with the two Cories. That's
632
00:50:29.400 --> 00:50:32.039
Corey Hame and Corey Feldman. Did
you ever see that movie? Or was
633
00:50:32.119 --> 00:50:37.079
that two to two teenagers for two? T D boppered out for me and
634
00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:40.559
I hope Corey don't get ticked off, because I believe you're listening. No
635
00:50:42.000 --> 00:50:45.840
disrespect, But the chang back in
that era, I was not into the
636
00:50:45.960 --> 00:50:52.559
coreries. I was out looking for
hories. Let me throw out a one
637
00:50:52.679 --> 00:50:57.679
more as a bonus for nineteen eighty
eight movies that I have never seen because
638
00:50:57.800 --> 00:51:01.480
back then I was afraid. I
was so afraid of this movie. So
639
00:51:01.599 --> 00:51:07.039
I saw the trailer and that was
It was a movie about aliens who came
640
00:51:07.119 --> 00:51:14.599
down to terrorize a small town.
But they all were at night dressed as
641
00:51:14.840 --> 00:51:20.199
clowns. And the movie, of
course is Killer Clowns from outer Space.
642
00:51:22.840 --> 00:51:32.960
You see that something different? It's
the shooting start. Why here? Why
643
00:51:34.400 --> 00:51:52.559
now? Why clowns? Why they've
been knocking him dead all over the universe?
644
00:51:52.960 --> 00:52:00.599
Are you do block my flock off? Going for soon? They?
645
00:52:00.679 --> 00:52:09.760
Okay? Doing it at a theater
near you? Trimmer clowns space? Oh
646
00:52:10.880 --> 00:52:15.039
really? Did you ever see that? I've never seen it? No,
647
00:52:15.320 --> 00:52:20.400
I never seen that one I didn't
care to see that one, but I
648
00:52:20.480 --> 00:52:23.000
can imagine you'd be a frame.
I bet you you were afraid of Who
649
00:52:23.079 --> 00:52:27.280
framed Roger Rabbit? Well, no, because this is nineteen eighty eight,
650
00:52:27.360 --> 00:52:30.599
so I'm already you know, I'm
already in high school. But I had
651
00:52:30.639 --> 00:52:34.159
a thing with clowns, and especially
if they've got knives and chasing people,
652
00:52:34.679 --> 00:52:37.440
you know, when it's ninetime.
I didn't go for that. Now did
653
00:52:37.519 --> 00:52:42.239
you watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit back
in nineteen eighty eight? Of course,
654
00:52:42.280 --> 00:52:51.119
who wouldn't, especially for Roger Rabbit's
wife. Oh, the buluptuous redheaded stallion
655
00:52:51.360 --> 00:52:57.159
that walked upon us and got every
individual male a little aroused over a cartoon
656
00:52:58.039 --> 00:53:04.440
simply fantastick. Yeah, you remember
that's it was Jessica Rabbit, Jessica Rabbit.
657
00:53:04.840 --> 00:53:07.920
Now do you remember Crocodile Dundee?
You watch that movie night? Of
658
00:53:08.000 --> 00:53:12.079
course I did. I really enjoyed
was that nineteen eighty eight as well?
659
00:53:12.400 --> 00:53:15.360
It was nineteen eighty eight. Loved
Crocodile Dundee, the very first one.
660
00:53:16.079 --> 00:53:21.119
So when I was hunting dingos when
I left Hollywood and I was out chasing
661
00:53:21.159 --> 00:53:24.880
and I was hunting dingos that's where
the iconic that's right. I had to
662
00:53:25.000 --> 00:53:30.280
change the way I talked too.
I didn't go by Chang. That's where
663
00:53:30.320 --> 00:53:38.199
he placed the iconic phrase, Nie, that's a knife. Yeah, that's
664
00:53:38.320 --> 00:53:42.199
right, brother. You know it. This is back to the eighties.
665
00:53:42.440 --> 00:53:45.519
When we come back, there's more
reminiscing from nineteen eighty eight. Don't go
666
00:53:45.559 --> 00:53:50.960
away, because Chang is bringing on
the hate. That's right, hate hate
667
00:53:50.960 --> 00:53:54.199
hate hate. No. Back to
good, wholesome, politically correct entertainment.
668
00:53:54.719 --> 00:54:01.519
Oops, wrong station No. Back
to the eighties with Tuscano and Chang.
669
00:54:06.960 --> 00:54:10.039
Welcome back to the eighties. This
is Tiscano from Tskanno and Chang here on
670
00:54:10.159 --> 00:54:15.760
the show that brings back the memories
and the nostalgia of the nineteen eighties to
671
00:54:15.880 --> 00:54:20.199
a whole new generation. This is
a part of the show where we talk
672
00:54:20.239 --> 00:54:23.559
about what made us angry back in
the eighties. But in honor of the
673
00:54:23.679 --> 00:54:30.119
most wondrous Chang, we've dubbed them
Changres. So Chang, what made you
674
00:54:30.360 --> 00:54:37.840
changry in the eighties? Oh?
Have I got to tell you? You
675
00:54:37.000 --> 00:54:42.519
know what made me changry back in
nineteen eighty eight. Yeah. The Democratic
676
00:54:42.719 --> 00:54:49.880
nominee Michael Duke Caucus. Was it
because of the name of Duke Caucus reminds
677
00:54:49.920 --> 00:54:52.519
me of something I would refer to
when I have to take a crap.
678
00:54:52.920 --> 00:54:57.760
You know what else got me changry
back in nineteen eighty eight? What Pee
679
00:54:57.840 --> 00:55:05.320
Wees big My gotcha? So it
was a classic stupid I love Pee's h
680
00:55:05.880 --> 00:55:08.880
Playhouse, but I wanted to bang
the chicken. He's a movie and that's
681
00:55:08.920 --> 00:55:13.199
about that. You know what else
got me changry back in nineteen eighty eight?
682
00:55:13.440 --> 00:55:20.119
What's that? Not being able to
get five old ones as well?
683
00:55:20.199 --> 00:55:22.519
That that's why they had Miller's outpost. Yes, yes, yes, you
684
00:55:22.599 --> 00:55:25.840
know what else got me changry back
in nineteen eighty eight? Blade on me?
685
00:55:27.679 --> 00:55:31.559
It was never a sequel to Beetlejuice. That's right, we missed the
686
00:55:31.679 --> 00:55:37.880
sequel to Beetlejuice. Yes, great
movie. You know what got me changry
687
00:55:37.920 --> 00:55:44.079
back in the nineteen eighty eight movie
industry? What's that? The movie Twins?
688
00:55:45.320 --> 00:55:50.039
Prep was that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny
DeVito. That's right, horrible movie.
689
00:55:52.000 --> 00:55:55.400
You know what else got me changry
in nineteen eighty eight? Yeah,
690
00:55:57.639 --> 00:56:02.639
that was the last time I have
a lowe bra and that, ladies and

And remember let Tuscano and changing back to
711
00:57:32.360 --> 00:57:36.679
the eighties, put a smile on
that face, because right now the whole
712
00:57:36.719 --> 00:57:40.360
world could use a lot of smiling. And speaking of smiling, I remember
713
00:57:40.440 --> 00:57:45.719
that not too many people smile when
we think about global warming. In a
714
00:57:45.840 --> 00:57:51.320
nineteen eighty eight On June twenty third, NASA scientist James Hansen testified to the
715
00:57:51.480 --> 00:57:58.360
US Senate that man made global warming
had begun. Yes, nineteen eighty eight,
716
00:57:58.800 --> 00:58:01.920
global warming hand begun. Now.
I know a lot of people don't
717
00:58:01.920 --> 00:58:06.599
believe in it, and a lot
of people do. Personally, I prefer
718
00:58:06.679 --> 00:58:10.320
to believe in the science of it
all. And it's pretty hard to ignore
719
00:58:10.440 --> 00:58:16.800
when you are looking at some of
the changes all around you. Yes,
720
00:58:17.280 --> 00:58:20.519
you know, And I don't want
to throw anybody under the bus. And
721
00:58:20.880 --> 00:58:23.599
I'm not going to get into any
political aspect or what I do or don't
722
00:58:23.639 --> 00:58:28.320
believe it, But I do believe
in global warming. I do believe mankind
723
00:58:28.400 --> 00:58:32.039
has used mother to be its own
toilet and receptacle. Can I think that
724
00:58:32.159 --> 00:58:37.079
all of us have been caught up
in our own kind of self righteousness.
725
00:58:38.079 --> 00:58:43.400
Everybody's a little bit too full of
themselves. Nobody really cares anymore. And
726
00:58:44.440 --> 00:58:49.960
I think the farther and farther we
get away from exploring other ways of energy,
727
00:58:50.079 --> 00:58:53.920
whether it be a residential, commercial
of vehicle wise, we're going to
728
00:58:54.280 --> 00:58:59.800
speed up our possible day to where
one day we're not going to be here.
729
00:59:00.519 --> 00:59:02.920
If you look at the weather that
we're having here in the States,
730
00:59:04.519 --> 00:59:07.960
it's a sure side of global warming
if you if you keep in touch with
731
00:59:07.159 --> 00:59:10.679
the global reports, and you look
at some of the ice caps that are
732
00:59:10.760 --> 00:59:15.440
melting right now as me and you
were clouding around. People are listening.
733
00:59:15.840 --> 00:59:19.519
This is definitely something that you have
to take to heart and you have to
734
00:59:19.599 --> 00:59:22.280
do your part. Did you know
Chang that a couple of days ago.
735
00:59:22.599 --> 00:59:27.000
This came out on the news a
couple of days ago in the city of
736
00:59:27.360 --> 00:59:30.320
Malibu. Now Malibu is a beach
town, Okay, it's on the coast.
737
00:59:30.840 --> 00:59:34.880
Malibu is where surfers hang out,
and of course, a lot of
738
00:59:35.320 --> 00:59:39.800
actors and famous celebrities live there.
But Malibu's on the beach. Okay,
739
00:59:39.880 --> 00:59:45.960
we're talking their sand and the beach. It's snowed in Malibu just a few
740
00:59:45.039 --> 00:59:50.480
days ago. That's insane. So
that is crazy. Some of the other
741
00:59:50.519 --> 00:59:54.360
stuff that happened in nineteen eighty eight
around the world. The first McDonald's restaurant
742
00:59:54.559 --> 01:00:00.000
opened up and was run by a
communist party in Belgrade u Lava. It
743
01:00:00.159 --> 01:00:06.239
was nineteen eighty eight March twenty fourth, to be exact. Another one followed
744
01:00:06.280 --> 01:00:08.880
in nineteen eighty nine in Budapest,
and then and so on in Moscow in
745
01:00:09.079 --> 01:00:15.400
nineteen ninety and so forth. But
McDonald's was making its way through the world.
746
01:00:15.920 --> 01:00:19.360
And you know, this is one
of those things, one of those
747
01:00:19.639 --> 01:00:23.960
places where it doesn't matter what party
of politics you belong to, it doesn't
748
01:00:24.000 --> 01:00:30.199
matter what religion you are. McDonald's
is an icebreaker man. McDonald's will make
749
01:00:30.239 --> 01:00:35.880
its way anywhere. I think there's
McDonald's around the universe somewhere. If if
750
01:00:36.039 --> 01:00:39.679
McDonald's can be and some alien planet, it'd be the first restaurant to be
751
01:00:39.800 --> 01:00:44.639
there. I think on Mars there
had to be a McDonald's and a Starbucks.
752
01:00:45.280 --> 01:00:49.920
It seemed like Starbucks is the new
McDonald's. That crap is. Everywhere
753
01:00:49.960 --> 01:00:52.840
you go to the market you can
get a Starbucks. And just down the
754
01:00:52.880 --> 01:00:54.960
street there's a Starbucks. You can
go through the drive through one. It's
755
01:00:55.000 --> 01:01:00.880
insane. Yeah, it's Starbucks is
like crack cocaine back in the eighties,
756
01:01:00.159 --> 01:01:04.440
you know what I mean. People
lose their freaking mind for Starbucks. People
757
01:01:04.480 --> 01:01:08.400
want to run each other over at
the drive through in Starbucks. And yeah,
758
01:01:08.440 --> 01:01:12.760
and it's not even real coffee.
I mean, they have right coffee,
759
01:01:13.000 --> 01:01:17.119
but nobody have myra my frau,
pay my h oh man, my
760
01:01:19.079 --> 01:01:22.039
it's gone really yeah. You know. The interesting thing is that although they
761
01:01:22.119 --> 01:01:27.280
have real coffee, and I'm sure
it's really really good, nobody there orders
762
01:01:27.320 --> 01:01:31.440
the real coffee. Everybody goes there
for these specialty items, you know,
763
01:01:32.280 --> 01:01:38.320
with three pumps of this and and
lactose free that, and so it's all
764
01:01:38.400 --> 01:01:44.559
a weird concoction and it has no
coffee in it. April thirtieth, nineteen
765
01:01:44.599 --> 01:01:49.480
eighty eight, World Expo eighty eight
opens in Brisbane, Queensland, on Australia.
766
01:01:50.159 --> 01:01:52.840
You know, nineteen eighty eight,
Chang was one of those nasty years
767
01:01:53.039 --> 01:01:58.639
in the sense of things going on
around the world, was a lot of
768
01:01:58.760 --> 01:02:04.599
turmoil. There was a lot of
you know, people getting killed in wars
769
01:02:04.800 --> 01:02:08.079
and cease fires. There was Al
Qaeda was formed, by the way,
770
01:02:08.440 --> 01:02:13.440
by Osama bin Laden August eleventh,
nineteen eighty eight. Did you know this,
771
01:02:14.440 --> 01:02:17.800
Yeah, I remember this. This
was This will always go down in
772
01:02:19.000 --> 01:02:22.280
history as a big question mark.
I think to half of the people,
773
01:02:22.360 --> 01:02:25.800
and half of the people think,
you know, half of the people think
774
01:02:25.880 --> 01:02:29.239
that it was a great thing.
Half of the people think that we shouldn't
775
01:02:29.280 --> 01:02:34.400
have gotten involved because it kind of
his catapulta to what we see with the
776
01:02:34.480 --> 01:02:37.599
problems we're having all over the Middle
East now with our own selves. So
777
01:02:37.360 --> 01:02:40.280
I mean, who's to say,
but yeah, I do remember that a
778
01:02:40.480 --> 01:02:46.760
very horrific individual of himself, A
dictator, a narcissistic dictator. The Lord
779
01:02:46.840 --> 01:02:52.760
knows we've seen our share of those
throughout this world's history. Hell, I
780
01:02:52.840 --> 01:02:55.280
think we had wouldn't leave the old
office not that long ago. But without
781
01:02:55.400 --> 01:03:00.320
that being said, yeah, I
remember that like it was yes to day.
782
01:03:00.000 --> 01:03:04.280
How old were you when that happened, Well, in eighty eight,
783
01:03:04.760 --> 01:03:09.000
you know, I was about play
fIF fifteen, sixteen years old. Yeah,
784
01:03:09.519 --> 01:03:13.000
so I wasn't. Yeah, I
was. I wasn't playing with toys
785
01:03:13.039 --> 01:03:17.800
anymore. You're playing with girls.
Yeah. October October twenty seventh, Ronald
786
01:03:17.840 --> 01:03:22.960
Reagan decided to tear down the new
US Embassy in Moscow because of Soviet listening
787
01:03:23.039 --> 01:03:28.440
devices in the building structure. So
this is a you know, James Bond
788
01:03:28.599 --> 01:03:32.400
kind of stuff. This is a
spy stuff going down. Um now,
789
01:03:32.719 --> 01:03:38.880
can you imagine Ronald Reagan being like
a spy? Well, I know this
790
01:03:39.760 --> 01:03:46.320
mission's going to be impossible and made
a funny, very good movie like his
791
01:03:46.480 --> 01:03:51.400
hair color. Oh oh, back
to business, I mean yeah, yeah.
792
01:03:52.280 --> 01:03:57.320
Interesting thing happened in Mexico on December
one of nineteen eighty eight. Carlos
793
01:03:57.480 --> 01:04:01.800
selenez Degortati takes office as Prey of
Mexico. Interesting note about this is the
794
01:04:01.880 --> 01:04:06.440
following. I heard around the grape
vine that when he started, Okay,
795
01:04:06.519 --> 01:04:14.400
when this gentleman Carlos Selenezi started,
he was at one point one of the
796
01:04:14.519 --> 01:04:18.320
greatest presidents, if not the greatest
president of Mexico had ever had, until
797
01:04:18.440 --> 01:04:26.920
he decided to leave office and take
with him the majority of Mexico's cash funds.
798
01:04:28.079 --> 01:04:30.840
Yeah, so he had to leave
because I guess he's stoled from the
799
01:04:30.920 --> 01:04:41.519
country over four billion dollars in cash. Okay, and of course he lives
800
01:04:41.559 --> 01:04:45.239
in a country that he cannot be
extradited to Mexico. I believe he lives
801
01:04:45.280 --> 01:04:48.000
in Ireland. So yeah, everything
went down, the drain, his reputation
802
01:04:48.119 --> 01:04:51.840
and everything. It's funny how that
happens with certain politicians. I wonder if
803
01:04:53.159 --> 01:04:59.880
he's introduced the Irish people to manoeudal
and shots of tequila. That's something that
804
01:05:00.039 --> 01:05:05.360
think about. Yeah, it's just
something interesting. Now October twentieth, nineteen
805
01:05:05.519 --> 01:05:11.199
eighty eight, this is going to
hit home for you, specifically Chang.
806
01:05:11.880 --> 01:05:16.639
Now, this date is very important
if you love sports, and especially or
807
01:05:16.719 --> 01:05:20.840
particularly if you love baseball, because
it was the year that the Los Angeles
808
01:05:21.000 --> 01:05:27.920
Dodgers won four games to one in
the nineteen eighty eight World Series against the
809
01:05:28.119 --> 01:05:34.679
Oakland A's the Oakland Athletics. I
recall calling them the Open Athletics. My
810
01:05:34.880 --> 01:05:42.920
hate of Northern California is greater than
anything I hate. Why do you hate
811
01:05:43.079 --> 01:05:46.320
Northern California. We've got so many
listeners from Northern California. You can't ate
812
01:05:48.320 --> 01:05:53.320
you know what. I don't hate
you. I just densely dislike your or
813
01:05:53.519 --> 01:05:58.679
is it because you live there?
Now? Well, I live close close
814
01:05:58.760 --> 01:06:03.320
have you lived to the middle.
I'm closer to Central Oakland and San Francisco,
815
01:06:03.559 --> 01:06:11.679
Yeah, and uh Stockton and Sacramental. Then I am my hometown of
816
01:06:11.760 --> 01:06:16.559
East Low bo the hood southern California, the city of Champions. Yes,
817
01:06:16.760 --> 01:06:21.599
I am closer to northern California,
but they hate stays at the same rate.
818
01:06:23.440 --> 01:06:28.440
So now do you remember a very
famous pitcher for the Dodgers back then.
819
01:06:29.280 --> 01:06:33.000
That was the great Oral Hersheizer.
Yes, yes, sir, the
820
01:06:33.159 --> 01:06:42.039
bulldog, the straight face, six
guns slinging, sniper, tight pitching caliber
821
01:06:42.320 --> 01:06:45.400
of Oral Hershiser, number fifty five, a Dodger great. You know,
822
01:06:45.480 --> 01:06:48.719
I want to give a special shout
out to Mark Hernandez, who we I
823
01:06:48.880 --> 01:06:54.199
give a quite you know, I
give shout outs quite often. My best
824
01:06:54.239 --> 01:06:57.559
friend from high school, from junior
high in high school, he got to
825
01:06:57.679 --> 01:07:02.639
go to I believe it was the
last game. His dad took him to
826
01:07:03.000 --> 01:07:09.639
that last game, so he was
actually there watching the Dodgers win the World
827
01:07:09.719 --> 01:07:13.320
Series. He said, I think
I remember him saying it was the greatest
828
01:07:13.400 --> 01:07:17.079
experienced sporting experience of his life.
It was awesome, man. I mean
829
01:07:17.159 --> 01:07:20.480
I went to so many Dodger games. You know, I didn't get to
830
01:07:20.480 --> 01:07:24.719
go to the World Series, but
every time watching at home, it was
831
01:07:24.800 --> 01:07:27.639
just like a spectacle of fun.
Man. I mean, when I think
832
01:07:27.679 --> 01:07:30.360
of Dodger Baseball, I think of
my youth. I think of my grandfather,
833
01:07:30.519 --> 01:07:35.159
my father, I think of my
buddies, I think of my sister.
834
01:07:35.280 --> 01:07:40.079
Remember, I think of family.
Dodger Stadium job is Ravine. I
835
01:07:40.119 --> 01:07:42.280
mean, what a great name.
I don't need to go into why I
836
01:07:42.360 --> 01:07:45.920
think it's a great name. It's
a great freaking name of the history in
837
01:07:45.000 --> 01:07:50.400
that community alone, how how that
field was built, and the two sides
838
01:07:50.440 --> 01:07:53.559
of the story, the good and
the bad, that could go together with
839
01:07:53.679 --> 01:07:57.559
that story. So anybody that wants
to check out the background of Dodger Stadium
840
01:07:57.599 --> 01:08:00.880
and chob Is Ravine, I guarantee
it's going to give you some crazy information,
841
01:08:00.039 --> 01:08:03.599
good and bad. But in nineteen
eighty eight, the same year,
842
01:08:03.679 --> 01:08:09.920
my Los Angeles Lakers were in the
NBA Championships against the Detroit Pistons, in
843
01:08:10.000 --> 01:08:12.880
which they did lose, which I
think they were robbed, but they lost.
844
01:08:13.280 --> 01:08:15.840
So we had the Dodgers and the
Lakers both battling for the pride of
845
01:08:15.920 --> 01:08:19.960
Los Angeles. Then yeah, you
got that right. Just like we've had
846
01:08:20.079 --> 01:08:25.239
lately, my daughters and my Lakers
World champions. No one can take us
847
01:08:25.279 --> 01:08:28.920
out. We're normal to UNO number
one. That's right, Northern California lost.
848
01:08:28.960 --> 01:08:31.439
I'm Angeles home of the Champions.
Except for my loss, I'm Nulis
849
01:08:31.600 --> 01:08:35.560
Rams who choked there? I put
it out there. I want to thank

10
00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:02.159
can do something very special today,
and that is to read a letter from
11
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:07.400

said it was some kind of a cosmegic.
21
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:57.040
And it's so funny because this letter
comes from America. All America,
22
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.519
oh from zero? What part of
America is a beautiful country. I go
23
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:06.040
there all the time in my dreams. I go to America. Everyone who
24
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:09.800
I am? I want to relieve
myself in public because America is full of
25
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:17.479
a lot of pop pop poopoo.
Anyway, this letter is from an individual
26
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:23.759
who who writes these. He says, hello there, doctors know at all?
27
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:28.840
I am having a very big problem
here in America and my job.
28
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:32.000
I've lost my job, not once, but quite it at all. All
29
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:38.840
of my workers have turned against me, institute nothing but hated about my about
30
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:44.199
about what I am. I have
a heart smoking daughter that I have impure
31
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:50.400
thoughts on, but everybody wants me
gone. I am no longer able to
32
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:54.800
live in some neighborhood that I want
it. I am about to be sued
33
00:02:55.039 --> 00:03:00.840
for everything but my pants and my
asthmatics. Since I put on my face,
34
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:07.439
I need legal help, representation.
I also am in need of friends.
35
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:14.039
How can you doctors help me?
I have lots of money until after
36
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:19.639
I go to trial. Yours truly
loved boy, mister Twitter, Now,
37
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:23.719
doctor, how would you? How
would you help this capitalistum? Starting to
38
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:29.159
think about a letter? I can
tell you very very important, very tricky.
39
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:34.479
This is a very tricky one because
he has a many issues, and
40
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:38.479
one of those issues is about of
friends. Now, friends are not easy
41
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:45.639
to come by, no no,
especially when you are a backstabber owns hands.
42
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:50.800
We can give you a few suggestions
on how to obtain more friends.
43
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:58.639
Now there is amatch dot com which
may be able to offer you more options.
44
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:03.639
Is like these thirty one flavors of
the matchings of friends. Now,
45
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:08.000
loved Boy, you cannot lie on
your application, and you're going to have
46
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:12.120
to show all your tax returns so
that you know the female out and other
47
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:15.319
friends? Are you know you're legitimate? Doctor Schnitzel. Why has your accent
48
00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:20.600
changed in It's Indian? Now explain
that to me. Oh, that is
49
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:27.759
because a brutiful Middle Eastern stepra I
mean girl has just walked into the room,
50
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:30.879
and I can tell you, love
a boy, that in order for
51
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:34.680
you to get not only more friends, but to alleviate many of the circumstances
52
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:41.079
you have gotten yourself into, you
must do one or two things. The
53
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:46.920
first one is you might get your
checkbook and sign a check with five or
54
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:53.680
six zeros, probably seven so paid
to the attention of the Back to the
55
00:04:53.759 --> 00:05:00.519
eighties radio show and owns hands.
What will happen from that point is that
56
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:06.000
we will give you the full advice. But until then we need to receive
57
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:12.360
the check for five, six or
seven figures. Unfortunately, the way he
58
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.839
thinks how it might be going,
we might not even get one penny from
59
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:26.639
you, doctor Rudolf. Mister Laba
boy, I think you must go to
60
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:31.519

closet and got yourself. Thank you for

00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:38.480

130
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:39.600
Wendy Michelle Collins as well. Are
they related to Tom Collins? You
131
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:43.840
know what, I don't know,
but speaking to Tom Collins, that would
132
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:46.919
be a very very good topic to
talk about one of these days. Drinks
133
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:50.679
in the eighties. Oh you know
what, that gets me thirsty? You
134
00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:54.440
know, I remember now that you
said Tom Collins. My mom used to
135
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:58.840
love Tom Collins beverages. You know, as a kid, I'm wondering what
136
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:03.080
the heck is a Tom Collins because
I was only allowed to order Shirley Temples
137
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:09.240
back then. Oh man, I
remember those. I remember when my parents
138
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:11.840
would have people over. We had
a neighbor, right and he would order
139
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:13.960
Tom Collins all the time and tell
my dad, Hey, Pardy, he
140
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:16.679
fixed me up with Tom Collins.
And I would sit there and I'd be
141
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:20.279
like, doesn't this dude know he's
in the housepool at Chicanos. Who the
142
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:22.759
hell's this white guy Tom Collins?
And why is he gonna come over and
143
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:26.000
make drinks? An Now, I
had no idea. Do you know what
144
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:30.279
it is in a Tom Collins If
you don't know, and anybody listening to
145
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:33.000
us around the world, I don't
know if you have Tom Collins in the
146
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:37.240
different parts of the world, but
in here in the United States, a
147
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:43.559
Tom Collins drink is made from gin, lemon juice, sugar, and carbonated
148
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:46.840
water. And believe it or not, it's such an old drink. It
149
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:54.879
was first memorialized in writing in eighteen
seventy six by Jerry Thomas, the father
150
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:58.840
of American mixology. Can you believe
in? So? Basically, it's gin
151
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:05.480
and sparkling lemonade, and it's a
drink typically served in a Colin's glass over
152
00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:09.919
ice. And for those of you
interested, it's one and a half ounce
153
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:13.240
or three parts old Tom gin.
And then you mix the gin with the
154
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:16.840
lemon juice, sugar syrup and a
tall glass, put some ice, top
155
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.159
it with soda water, garner shit, and serve. Oh my gosh,
156
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:22.519
Now you know, I don't know
about that, man. I'm not a
157
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.679
big fan of soda water, are
you. It's either I'm gonna have you
158
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:28.200
don't have to drink the soda water. You don't have to drink the soda
159
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:33.399
water all by itself. Did change? The hater already show up so soon.
160
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:37.799
I hate I hate the sounds of
soda water. I hate I hate
161
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:39.960
the mixture of soda water, to
taste of soda water. I hate anybody
162
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:43.879
that says, give me a soda
water. It's either give me a soda
163
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:46.120
or give me a water, or
give me dead. You know, I
164
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:50.960
love soda water. Actually pellegreno,
Yeah, I love Pellegrino. Yeah.
165
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:56.480
I love soda water, especially with
a little slice of lemon rich there.
166
00:13:56.200 --> 00:14:00.360
Yeah, I love soda water.
You look like the kind of a guy
167
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:07.320
that you know you you would like
schwepts. I'll take a schwepts. Got
168
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:13.759
a hair we'll see. Now.
Do you like tonic water? Let me
169
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:20.080
let me reiterate. I hate tonic
water. I hate using tonic. Tonic
170
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.519
reminds me of hair tonic. I'm
not going to drink that crap. Well,
171
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:26.080
I got a little surprise for you. Change. What do you got?
172
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:28.720
You should not have a bottle of
in the camera. I'll take that
173
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:33.320
from your hands. And what the
hell is wrong with you? I got
174
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:37.120
a little bit of tonic water right
next to me. Now, you know,
175
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:39.679
And I'm sorry that we're going off
a little bit off a topic here
176
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.080
of nineteen eighty eight, but now
that we're seeing tonic water. I heard
177
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:46.399
somewhere down the line that tonic water
has something in it, a chemical in
178
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:50.600
it. It helps you in some
way, your your your system to be
179
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:56.600
ready to kind of reject COVID believe
it or not. So whether it's true
180
00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:00.279
or not, no, I don't
know. I heard it somewhere. It's
181
00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:01.600
probably a lie. You know,
it's on the internet, so who knows.
182
00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:05.559
I heard the same thing about cocaine. But I won't do that either
183
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:11.159
anymore. Brother, Oh Chang,
would you'd like to have a sprints or
184
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:15.759
a tonic water sits with me by
the pool? I hate you more madness
185
00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:18.799
here, I'm back to the eighties
when we come back. I can't believe
186
00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:20.840
it. You pull out tonic waters, I might as well bring out a
187
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:26.240
diet drink. You're woos You can
dispense with the pleasant trees. You're listening
188
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:35.639
to Scuttle and Chang. You don't
know the power back to the eighties.

Now back to good, wholesome,
politically correct entertainment. Oops, wrong station,
197
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:23.399
No, back to the eighties with
Tescano and Cheng. This is back
198
00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:29.240
to the eighties Tescanto and Chang with
you, and Chang was actually making fun
199
00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:32.159
of me because of the tonic water
while we were on break. But you
200
00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:33.399
know, what, what are you
gonna do? I like tonic water.
201
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:36.759
I used to hate it when I
was a kid because it's got this weird
202
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:41.159
aftertaste. But I like it now
and I kind of drink it sometimes like
203
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:44.440
soda old age. I guess,
ladies and gentlemen, I guess, Hey,
204
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:48.000
what are you gonna do? We're
talking about nineteen eighty eight and some
205
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:51.240
of the things that occurred during nineteen
eighty eight. But before we get into
206
00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:53.399
some of the bad news, let's
go with the good news. Nineteen eighty
207
00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:57.519
eight, all Tonic Water was called
back due to its taste of crap.
208
00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:03.359
That's right back in nineteen eighty eight. I wanted to read to you the
209
00:17:03.400 --> 00:17:10.599
top ten songs of nineteen eighty eight, going from number ten all the way
210
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:15.119
to number one. And in this
list, we have some bands that you
211
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:18.640
like, and we have the majority
that you don't like. But we're gonna
212
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:25.079
go anyway. Starting with number ten. The title of the song is roll
213
00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:41.200
with It from Steve Winwood. That
guy is a two telty. Did you
214
00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:44.319
know he was into the music business, recorded his first album, I believe
215
00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:48.839
when he with Spencer Davis or Traffic. But he was sixteen years old when
216
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:55.519
he joined into the music round with
Eric Clapton. Just a little yeah,
217
00:17:55.559 --> 00:17:57.160
I didn't know that. I know
that he plays like a bunch of instruments
218
00:17:57.279 --> 00:18:03.839
and he's an English singer songwriter.
His real name is Stephen Lawrence Winwood.
219
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:07.640
For those of you who wanted to
know, oh nice, Number nine,
220
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:21.279
the song is Hands to Heaven by
Breathe. I brought my hands to Heaven
221
00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:23.440
right Now and I Am Afraid for
You because you drink Talk of Water Now
222
00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:27.839
Breathe was an English pop band formed
in London nineteen eighty four. They had
223
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:32.920
a lot of success in late nineteen
eighties with hit singles like Don't Tell Me
224
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:37.200
Lies and how Can I Fall?
But the group's biggest hit was Hands to
225
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:42.319
Heaven, which reached number two in
the United States in August of nineteen eighty
226
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:48.279
eight. I Think I remember that
song. I think Guy hated it.
227
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:55.400
Yeah, I told you. Speaking
of songs that Chang hates fallen into place
228
00:18:55.599 --> 00:19:00.039
number eight with the song could have
been by a very young lady who was
229
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:04.160
a teen icon. She's most notable
for her nineteen eighty seven cover of the
230
00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:10.599
song I Think We Are Alone Now, originally recorded in nineteen sixty seven by
231
00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:26.160
Tommy James and the Chandels. She
is Tiffany, Yes, Tiffany number seven.
232
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:45.920
Heaven is a place on Earth by
her competitor, and that's Belinda Carlyle,
233
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:51.200
former lead singer of the Go Gos. She was involved in one of
234
00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:55.440
the most successful all time female bands
in history, and went on to have
235
00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:00.240
a pretty good career as a solo
artist as well, number six. The
236
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:07.119
song is so emotional by an icon
of music is She was an American singer
237
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:11.359
and actress, certified as the most
awarded female artist of all time by the
238
00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:22.599
Guinnesses Book of World Records. Whitney, Elizabeth Houston and the rest. He's
239
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:26.599
a great vocalist, A great I'd
say probably there was a true essence and
240
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:34.200
definition of the diva. I mean
that lady started off in gospel music as
241
00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:37.440
a teenager at the family church I
believe, with her sibling, Yeah,
242
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:42.880
and became probably one of the single
most greatest female singers I think of her
243
00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:48.880
time and generation. Besides going back
to Aretha Franklin and Diana Ross, she
244
00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:52.200
was of that caliber. She stood
alone. And then you know, within
245
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:56.240
the eighties and the nineties, we
had many copycasts. We had Mariah Now
246
00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:00.119
I'm married, Now I'm not Carrie, So the was a lot of copycats.
247
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:04.039
But you got to give your props
to Whitney, Broth and the Bodyguard.
248
00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:08.119
Good Lord. Yeah, she was. I would I would rate her
249
00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:14.720
one of the ten hottest women.
How many records do you think she sold
250
00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:18.400
throughout her career. Let's just give
me a give me throw out a number
251
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:23.240
there Okay, I'd say maybe six
hundred and ten million, all right,
252
00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:29.279
So you went a little too far
with sales. With sales of over two
253
00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:33.440
hundred million records worldwide. Nice,
I was going to say that, but
254
00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:37.119
I thought if I was gonna go
with two hundred and twelve million, and
255
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:41.480
then I thought, no, people
are gonna say he is looking right now
256
00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:44.519
at his phone and he's he's googling
it. How dare he know it?
257
00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:48.319
So I thought I'd go far fetched
in the number five spot. This following
258
00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:52.960
band. I'm not even going to
mention the song yet because the following band
259
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:57.039
is an American hard rock band from
La Okay. They were formed in nineteen
260
00:21:57.079 --> 00:22:03.000
eighty five when they signed to Gift
and Records in eighty six, and now
261
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:08.119
this band is pretty infamous when it
comes to their lead singer or their front
262
00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:12.400
man, because he had an encounter
with you, and I wanted you to
263
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:17.559
communicate that encounter. The song is
a sweet child of Mine with guns and
264
00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:19.640
roses. And the person I'm talking
about, of course, is Axel Roles.
265
00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:32.640
Oh yes, asshole Roles. I'd
remember it well. Doctors about the
266
00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:37.079
encounter For those who are listening for
the very first time, talk to us
267
00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:40.640
about that and little encounter you had
with Axel Rose back in the eighties.
268
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:45.480
Now this goes all the way back
to nineteen eighty seven. I was just
269
00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:49.160
a new dad. I was out. I was almost like a serviceman out
270
00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:52.640
on the leaf. I had a
custody of my daughter. I was twenty
271
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:56.839
one years of age at the time, and I was allowed to furlough by
272
00:22:57.039 --> 00:23:00.799
my dad that I can go ahead
and go out, would watch the kid.
273
00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:03.920
So I went out. Me and
my buddies had a couple of drinks
274
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:08.559
in us walking across the street to
go to the higher rooms to go party
275
00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:12.880
out there. And I'm standing at
the street corner. Axel Rose is standing
276
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:15.599
probably about up to my shoulder,
ladies and gentlemen, because he's kind of
277
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:21.000
a small guy, small minded,
small, meek looking bastard. And I
278
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:25.319
got my Chuck Taylor's on my converse, Chuck Taylor's if anybody remember that those
279
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:29.079
are the old g converse, and
I mean mine are white because that's the
280
00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:32.160
way the Chang dresses. You know
what I mean. Boom bam, I'm
281
00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:37.279
like a bright white right asshole rose
Axel Rose. Yes, okay, well
282
00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:40.440
you call him what you want,
and I'll call him what I want.
283
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:45.440
My story means he's asshole rolls and
this guy, uh, he's flicking ashes.
284
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:49.119
Story. I love the way you
say it because I can see your
285
00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:53.240
face. It's hilarious. And I'm
like tripping on the dude right and I'm
286
00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:56.880
looking at him. And then he
throws his cigarette and he gets into my
287
00:23:56.960 --> 00:23:59.279
Chucks and it bounces, you know, some of the ass gets I'm like,
288
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:03.119
chuck, Now, these everybody are
bright white Chuck Taylors, you know
289
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:07.839
what I'm talking about. And they
have blue and gold shoelaces. Double them
290
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:10.279
up back in the eighties like we
used to, you know, to signify
291
00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:12.279
my love of the Los Angeles Rams
at the time. Now, this little
292
00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:17.480
jackass creep gets me ticked off.
So I told him, hey, buddy,
293
00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:19.039
you know, now, was this
hold on a second? So?
294
00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:22.759
Was this as you're crossing the street
or were you guys waiting to cross the
295
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:27.799
street or how they do us the
picture? We were standing there and he
296
00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:30.440
was, you know, taking his
cigarette in and I'm being the chain with
297
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:33.880
my three buddies, you know,
me being who I am, and uh,
298
00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:37.599
we're just standing there. Then it
turns green to walk across right.
299
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:41.279
Yeah, it says walk. We
don't have the little signal, and it
300
00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:45.279
doesn't go dick, dude, It
just said walk back and what it said
301
00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:49.240
don't walk and walk, so it
hits walk and then he throws his cigarette
302
00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:52.400
down, gets into my chucks.
So I mouthed off, you know,
303
00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:56.839
a couple of unkind words. He
mouthed off, a couple of kind words.
304
00:24:56.119 --> 00:25:00.000
My buddy's got to hold me back
on my buddy tells them, hey,
305
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:03.160
to take off buddy because we can't
hold him that long. And wait
306
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:07.039
a second, okay, so back
a little. What did you tell him?
307
00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:10.839
Maybe you can leave out the explicit
words, but what did you tell
308
00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:12.680
him? Kind of give us the
gist of it. I said, look
309
00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:15.920
here, you little f and twerp? You know who do who? Do
310
00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:18.839
you know? Watch out for mother
nature? Don't litter? You got that?
311
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:22.559
And you're my chucks, dude,
my chucks, my white tennis shoes.
312
00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:25.319
I said, I had him not
to f and F and F and
313
00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:27.160
F and crap out of you.
And that's when he said, hey,
314
00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:30.000
f you, who the f do
you think you are? You and your
315
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:34.279
f and chucks? So he actually
said that the head Yeah, and you
316
00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:38.079
know it was an fest, right, you know, but uh, you
317
00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:41.920
know, hey, man, I
was gonna pulverize that little shrip broh,
318
00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:45.519
that little mushroom of a man.
And it's a tripping thing because that's I
319
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:48.519
do dig that bad. He's not
my favorite human being, but he's a
320
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:52.839
good lead singer, right yeah,
because I know that you do like guns
321
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:56.200
and roses. We used to go
check him out at the Cat House in
322
00:25:56.319 --> 00:26:00.759
Hollywood, dude, before or after
the ft. This was way before the
323
00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:04.079
FS oh before the FS Okay,
yeah, yeah, this is what people
324
00:26:04.119 --> 00:26:07.640
were like, Hey, you looked
like that guy on stage and then I
325
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:08.960
just wanted to beat the f out
of them, But you know I never
326
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:14.079
did. Got pretty mellow kind of
guy after that. Let's go back to
327
00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:17.160
the story. So he said that, you said that, he said that,
328
00:26:17.559 --> 00:26:21.359
And how did it all end?
Did you guys actually confront each other?
329
00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:25.160
I mean we did throw bloe.
Didn't hug and say yo, bro,
330
00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:27.279
or we didn't go co write a
song or anything, if that's what
331
00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:30.240
you want to know. No,
did he want to shake your hand or
332
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:33.880
anything like, did he apologize?
There was no hand shaking or nothing.
333
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:36.759
Bro. He went his ways.
My buddies and me. We kept going.
334
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:40.079
He went straight, we went to
the right, and that was it.
335
00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:41.240
Bro all in all, I bet, I bet you we both got
336
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:47.680
laid. So one of my many
touches with fame in the rock and roll
337
00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:52.359
circuit. And boy did I meet
a lot of crazy famous rock and roller
338
00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:55.240
roll in my day. You know, we're gonna do an entire show where
339
00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:59.400
you talk about some of the some
of the experiences that you had with some
340
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:03.880
of the rock and roll bands of
the eighties. Falling into place. Number
341
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:08.440
four is a song by a gentleman
who was an English singer, songwriter,
342
00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:14.559
radio personality, and he rose to
fame through his association with the production trio
343
00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:18.720
Stock Akin Waterman. Now this means
probably nothing to you, but his nineteen
344
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:25.920
eighty seven recording of their song never
Gonna Give You Up was a number one
345
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:34.160
hit single they We're Gonna Give You
Up? Do you know that is he
346
00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:37.279
was the guy who remember when I
first heard that song, that's out man,
347
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:40.519
this brother can sing, and then
I was like, whoa this dude
348
00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:44.960
the white cast. You know.
The interesting thing about him, yeah,
349
00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:48.079
exactly. And the interesting thing about
Rick Astley is that though the years have
350
00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:53.119
passed by the man's pipes are nice
and crystal clear. He can sing just
351
00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:57.400
like he did back then. Number
three, the song is Got My Mind
352
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:03.559
Set on You. Now, this
is the only song by George Harrison that
353
00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:07.000
I really enjoyed in the eighties.
Oh this was a song. Yeah,
354
00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:12.319
the song Got My Mindset on You
was a huge, huge hit, especially
355
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:17.119
if you watched MTV and you watched
the video. But for those of you
356
00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:18.839
who don't know, and I don't
know why you wouldn't know, But George
357
00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:23.400
Harrison was, of course one of
the Beatles. He was the lead guitarist
358
00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:26.240
of the Beatles. As a matter
of fact, he was sometimes called the
359
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:41.680
Quiet Beatles. I got my months, but it's gonna take a money,
360
00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:48.440
Yeah, who was Apparently George Harrison
embraced the Indian culture, so he was,
361
00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:52.440
well, you know, back there
in the sixties and they started in
362
00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:56.079
the seventies. They were all into
some weird things, and they used to
363
00:28:56.119 --> 00:29:00.119
call him the Quiet Beatles. I
had no idea. Yeah, yeah,
364
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:04.039
now you know, George, George
Harrison is the one that got the Beatles
365
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:11.440
going down and they seen the Yogi
and sitting around and learning of the religion.
366
00:29:12.119 --> 00:29:17.039
He is also the one that incorporated
the sitarg on the Beatles album,
367
00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:21.799
and that was heavily influenced for that
album. Right, So Harrison, that
368
00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:25.359
guy was all about spiritual soul.
Brother, that guy was a beautiful man.
369
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:29.440
I'd say he was a rock and
roll angel. Falling into number two
370
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:36.559
the song need You Tonight by in
x As. You know, that's one
371
00:29:36.559 --> 00:29:42.720
of Chang's favorite musical bands, artists
of that generation and time and era in
372
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:47.839
I thought In Excess was an explosive
band. They had different styles, they
373
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:52.160
had soul, They captivated the audience
because I mean they could really wail down
374
00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:56.400
on their instruments and Michael Hutsons one
of the sexiest cats that ever grabbed a
375
00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:07.720
microphone and got kicks off. That's
what I'll say about that fast. You
376
00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:11.640
know they're an Australian rock band.
Is so a big shout out to everybody
377
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:17.319
in Australia, especially to the family
of the Ferris brothers. When they started
378
00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:22.240
in nineteen seventy seven in Sydney in
New South Wales, the band's family members
379
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:27.279
were basist Gary Gary Beers, main
composer and keyboardist Andrew Ferris, drummer John
380
00:30:27.319 --> 00:30:33.359
Ferris, guitarist Tim Ferris and lead
singer and main lyricist Michael that he was
381
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:37.319
bad. That was a great bad
man. It's a shame. That's Michael
382
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:44.519
Hutchinson message to mid a very odd
way that one would you know, perish.
383
00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:48.279
But didn't he die? He didn't
he have an overdose or because it
384
00:30:48.359 --> 00:30:53.279
wasn't a suicide, wasn't. No, he died of a strangulation upon inphyxiation.
385
00:30:53.880 --> 00:31:02.039
And what that is is he was
supposedly hanging himself having sex and oh
386
00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:07.160
really he apparently he hung himself and
killed himself. But there was no partner
387
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:11.000
there, you know, in sex
at least I don't believe I know there
388
00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:15.640
was someone there. I believe it
was a call girl or maybe a one
389
00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:18.359
night Stann obviously a one night Stanning
woman because he was married at the time.
390
00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:23.200
Right. That's how he died,
very odd, very peculiar, but
391
00:31:25.079 --> 00:31:26.319
in a way to where it's like
wow, you know what I mean.
392
00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:30.160
The guy was a sexual magic bro, so you know he had to be
393
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:34.160
getting funky. It's just a it's
a it's a shame that he perished in
394
00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:37.759
the way that he did, getting
as funky as he was getting. Yeah,
395
00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:42.480
that I had no idea but hitting
the number one place for nineteen eighty
396
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:47.400
eight. Out of the top one
hundred songs, we only touched the last
397
00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:53.759
ten and fallen into place number one
with the song faith was English singer George
398
00:31:53.920 --> 00:32:09.480
Michael because I gotta have I was
just thinking about George Michael. I'm not
399
00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:13.240
getting sentimental. But you know what, man, I was not a big
400
00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:17.319
fan of Wham. That just wasn't
my you know, my style. But
401
00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:22.519
well, you know what I mean. I used to wear underwear that said
402
00:32:22.559 --> 00:32:25.920
Choose Life. And uh, I'll
tell you I made those underwear out of
403
00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:29.599
a Choose Life T shirt that I
got awful, girl, I was dating
404
00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:34.240
back in the eighties and they made
really great bridges and uh, the ohs
405
00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:37.480
were choose was kind of was in
the same place as my testicle. But
406
00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:42.599
anyway, anyway, Yeah, like
I would saying, I think I'll always
407
00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:45.559
give him mad respect. I think
he was one of the greatest vocalists of
408
00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:51.200
his time. I think he had
also an exceptional uh different, different type
409
00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:57.240
of range of every soulful himself.
Uh. Obviously the dude was was gorgeous,
410
00:32:57.240 --> 00:33:00.759
bro I mean, you know,
obviously he could probably have had any
411
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:04.039
man, any woman that he wanted. Yeah, I mean the girls threw
412
00:33:04.079 --> 00:33:08.119
themselves at him. You know,
at the guy you have, you have
413
00:33:08.279 --> 00:33:13.599
men and women throwing yourself at you. And then you know, he wented
414
00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:15.680
at a big funk and then he
got in trouble hanging around in that restroom,
415
00:33:17.160 --> 00:33:22.079
right, Yeah, that's right,
and then to sadly die kind of
416
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:28.119
almost like a hermit. Uh,
you know, overweight, very sad.
417
00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:31.720
I don't think he was overweight.
I mean I saw him last the last
418
00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:37.799
interview of a bit of weight,
and that was contributing to his depression.
419
00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:43.440
He had lost his mom prior to
that. Yeah, so I believe he
420
00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:46.319
was. He wasn't on drugs anymore, but I believe he did start drinking
421
00:33:46.720 --> 00:33:51.319
and he had himself a massive heart
attack and left his place. Yeah.
422
00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:54.039
I know. He had pneumonia the
last Yeah, the last interview he gave
423
00:33:55.039 --> 00:34:00.119
in England, he had pneumonia and
then he never recovered from that. M
424
00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:04.519
I've seen him at when they did
the Queen Tribute, and to me,
425
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:07.320
I thought, if anybody was going
to ever lead that band again or some
426
00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:12.199
type of rendition with that band,
it should be George Michael. Absolutely what
427
00:34:12.679 --> 00:34:15.320
it was phenomenal to see them both. This is back to the eighties.
428
00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:20.480
When we come back, we're gonna
be talking about movies of nineteen eighty eight.
429
00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:23.280
Stick Around, Don't Go? Where's
stick Around? Don't Go Anywhere?
430
00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:27.960
I thought about I thought about what
you were talking about. Underwear. Underwear
431
00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:37.440
you're listening to back to the eighties. If you can't wear a spandex jumpsuit,
432
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:46.440
what can you do? This back
to the eighties? Welcome back to
433
00:34:46.559 --> 00:34:50.360
the one on the way back to
the eighties, Toscano, when Chang sitting
434
00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:53.000
right here in the drivers sitting in
the co pilots seat, We're talking about
435
00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:57.840
nineteen eighty eight, and Toscano has
got a list here. We're gonna talk
436
00:34:57.880 --> 00:35:02.800
about some of the most fun kind
of best movies of nineteen eighty eight.
437
00:35:04.360 --> 00:35:08.039
Yeah, no, Donald, what
was your before you get to the list?
438
00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:12.559
What was your favorite movie in nineteen
eighty eight? Oh man, I'm
439
00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:16.000
torn between two movies and you know, well, why don't we just talk
440
00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:22.400
about them? Yeah? One of
them was definitely one of the funniest movies
441
00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:28.079
that has ever come out of Hollywood
cinema. It was a movie about an
442
00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:31.800
African prince that travels to Queens with
his best friend to New York and goes
443
00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:37.880
undercover to find a wife that he
can respect for her intelligence and will.
444
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:43.320
And of course that's with the famous
Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall coming to America.
445
00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:47.440
What I look at these conjectus,
what a miss black Magic? I
446
00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:53.559
feel good. Apparently these are the
best women. Queen. I want to
447
00:35:53.559 --> 00:36:04.000
tear you apart and your friend too. That's right. I think back then,
448
00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:08.760
anything anything Eddie Murphy touched was gold. I mean, obviously Arsenio Hall
449
00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:14.559
OWDs Eddie Murphy a great deal.
Yeah, launching his career. I mean,
450
00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:17.519
you know what Arsenio had. Arsenio
remember Arseniel Hall show back on the
451
00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:21.679
eighties. Yeah, he was a
great host for a late night show.
452
00:36:22.159 --> 00:36:27.039
These movies that I'm mentioning to you
are movies that I can watch today over
453
00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:30.760
and over and over again. I
don't get tired. And if they're on,
454
00:36:30.039 --> 00:36:34.559
I will watch them, and if
they're not, I can always pick
455
00:36:34.639 --> 00:36:37.760
up where I last left off.
I can put them on again. I
456
00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:39.599
mean, I'll never get tired of
these movies. Yea. So these are
457
00:36:39.599 --> 00:36:44.360
the ones that I'm mentioning. And
so I mentioned coming to America, The
458
00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:46.639
other one was about a cop from
New York. See if you can guess
459
00:36:46.639 --> 00:36:51.880
this one. A cop from New
York who tries to save his marriage.
460
00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:58.079
So he comes to La on an
invitation for Christmas and he goes to a
461
00:36:58.199 --> 00:37:04.719
party that his wife's company having at
the very famous Nakatomi Plaza. In the
462
00:37:04.760 --> 00:37:08.320
movie, of course, the Nakatomi
Plaza terrorists take over the party and he's
463
00:37:08.360 --> 00:37:13.119
the one man in this whole building
who saves the day. He's an easy
464
00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:15.840
guy to like, come into the
coast and get together, have few lefts
465
00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:21.519
and a hard man to kill.
And of course I am talking about what
466
00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:25.440
movie chang Oh man, I'm torn
if this is a stallone movie. Let
467
00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:31.559
me tell you it's with Bruce Willis. Bruce Willis, this is uh shit.
468
00:37:32.280 --> 00:37:36.079
They call it a Christmas movie,
but it's not really. Hey,
469
00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:38.480
you know what that is the biggest
debate of all time. Die hard.
470
00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:43.679
I'm gonna tell you something. Yeah, even Bruce Willis said, this is
471
00:37:43.679 --> 00:37:46.639
not a Christmas movie. Look,
it mentions the word Christmas. I don't
472
00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:52.000
know how many times. It's got
Christmas music, it's got Christmas decorations.
473
00:37:52.360 --> 00:37:55.679
It revolves around coming to visit family
for Christmas. It's a Christmas movie,
474
00:37:55.920 --> 00:38:00.440
yeah, exactly. And I mean
you think about some of the things that
475
00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:02.840
we do in Christmas when we get
together with family members and somebody has too
476
00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:08.440
much to drink. It's usually ending
up in a horrific Bruce willis violent movie.
477
00:38:08.760 --> 00:38:12.679
You got a drunk for a drunk. I had a drunk neighbor starting
478
00:38:12.679 --> 00:38:16.880
to fight. Somebody falls on the
Christmas decorations, somebody swears too much,
479
00:38:17.719 --> 00:38:22.440
somebody smacks a chick, somebody gets
caught thrown up in the back. All
480
00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:25.639
hell breaks loose, just like the
movie. So it's a Christmas movie.
481
00:38:25.639 --> 00:38:30.079
For the love of God. It
is. Willis a very fine, very
482
00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:34.840
fine action actor to his own right. Oh, Like I said, this
483
00:38:34.920 --> 00:38:37.840
is a type of movie. I
don't know if it's the type of movie
484
00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:40.719
or it's just that particular movie.
And I like that one just as much
485
00:38:42.840 --> 00:38:46.239
as I did Part two and that's
it. Any any other die hard movie
486
00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:50.800
that came after, I can watch
it, but it's not a big deal.
487
00:38:51.320 --> 00:38:53.360
But one and two, Yeah,
I agree with you. Anytime you
488
00:38:53.440 --> 00:38:58.760
have a movie and then they do
number two, oh you run, you
489
00:38:58.840 --> 00:39:00.320
run the risk of it being a
bit cheesy. But then you get three,
490
00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:04.559
four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten gets
491
00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:07.119
it gets a little bit ridiculous.
Now, so I have a movie right
492
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:09.760
here from nineteen eighty eight. Yeah, Now, is this a movie you
493
00:39:09.760 --> 00:39:13.280
can watch over and over again.
You'll never get tired of the movie.
494
00:39:13.280 --> 00:39:15.840
You can watch over and over again. Now, this this is my favorite
495
00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:20.320
movie. It's rain Man. Of
course, I'm an excellent driver, drive
496
00:39:20.440 --> 00:39:22.400
slow on the driveway. But there's
only twenty eight miles on the dominantance.
497
00:39:22.440 --> 00:39:24.960
I can go over to week ago, last Saturday. It should be more
498
00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:31.239
than twenty eight miles. This cutman
is your brother with Dustin Hoffman, you
499
00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:35.840
know what I mean? And Tom
Cruise having the award for this movie and
500
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:39.960
Tom Cruise, you know, And
I thought that movie was great on four
501
00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:46.800
different levels. Emotionally brings people to
be aware of that type of in a
502
00:39:47.039 --> 00:39:54.000
situation that autistic families have to deal
with, and what we can really get
503
00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:58.760
out of scene that there is a
beauty in autism. A lot of people
504
00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:02.079
want to condemn people there, think
it's taboo, But to me, that
505
00:40:02.159 --> 00:40:07.880
movie showed that they are just as
aware as we are, but they just
506
00:40:07.000 --> 00:40:14.320
cannot carry on a conversation or relate
as we do. I kind of call
507
00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:21.400
them living angels if you can understand
what I mean. They're very sweet individuals,
508
00:40:21.400 --> 00:40:25.119
harmless, They enjoyed some of the
smaller, most beautiful things in life,
509
00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:30.079
and a lot of them are extremely
smart their intelligence level. Like in
510
00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:34.000
the movie rain Man. Now,
believe it or not, I have never
511
00:40:34.039 --> 00:40:37.840
seen it from beginning to end.
I've seen parts of it. Here's the
512
00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:40.199
irony of all this, though.
And when they were making the movie,
513
00:40:40.280 --> 00:40:44.519
there was a scene there where they're
at the train station. Do you remember
514
00:40:44.559 --> 00:40:46.960
this scene they're at the train station. One of my friends worked at the
515
00:40:47.000 --> 00:40:52.159
train station in Santa Ana, California
and Orange County, which is where they
516
00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:55.519
did that particular scene. Yeah,
And I got to spend a few days
517
00:40:55.840 --> 00:40:59.719
watching them make the movie, and
I got to meet a few of the
518
00:40:59.800 --> 00:41:04.639
actors that were there. Really Yeah, because my my buddy worked in the
519
00:41:04.679 --> 00:41:08.159
snack area and he was making sandwiches
at the time, and he actually I'm
520
00:41:08.199 --> 00:41:10.239
not sure if he came out in
the movie or not. I'd have to
521
00:41:10.599 --> 00:41:15.000
look at the movie or watch the
movie again. But this grossed one hundred
522
00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:23.239
and seventy eight point eight million dollars. Rainman wowe. Another movie that I
523
00:41:23.239 --> 00:41:29.000
can watch over and over again.
It is about about a little boy who
524
00:41:29.440 --> 00:41:31.599
was a little well he was a
teenage boy who wakes up the next morning
525
00:41:31.639 --> 00:41:49.800
after making a wish that he wanted
to be big big wad gosh. Twentieth
526
00:41:49.800 --> 00:42:04.039
Century Fox Presents Tom Hank I turned
into grow Up from now One. Remember
527
00:42:04.079 --> 00:42:07.639
that movie with Tom Hanks. Yeah, that was the funny movie. Fantastic
528
00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:14.719
movie. Now Tom Hanks Originally he
was on Buzzom Buddies of that TV Buzzom
529
00:42:14.760 --> 00:42:17.280
Buddies. Yes, some buddies for
a stretch And he started off as a
530
00:42:17.320 --> 00:42:22.239
stand up comedian. And I mean, look where he is transpired to now
531
00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:28.360
he's uh, he's kind of like
Hollywood, Yeah, Hollywood Royalty exactly,
532
00:42:28.639 --> 00:42:35.199
except when people find out he's a
liberal Democrat and he's hated. And what's
533
00:42:35.199 --> 00:42:37.760
another one of the movies that we
can watch over and over again. Well,
534
00:42:37.760 --> 00:42:40.800
I'm going to tell you another one
of the movies that hit really really
535
00:42:40.800 --> 00:42:45.599
big is a comedy, but it
was more of a spoof. A movie
536
00:42:45.599 --> 00:42:50.800
that made fun of other movies and
made fun of politics, made fun of
537
00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:54.800
pretty much anything, religion, everything. That was with a very famous actor
538
00:42:55.119 --> 00:43:02.039
Leslie Nielsen and that was the Naked
Gun from the Fire Police Squad. Those
539
00:43:02.119 --> 00:43:07.119
movies were hysterical. I mean from
Airplane on and what's the first thing that
540
00:43:07.159 --> 00:43:12.280
comes to mind. I don't mean
to be off key or bring any but
541
00:43:12.400 --> 00:43:15.960
down is O. J. Simpson
And his comedic role in that movie was
542
00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:22.800
outrageous. He did good. Yeah, Leslie Nielsen was like an icon on
543
00:43:22.920 --> 00:43:29.320
giving you straight faced stupidity at its
finest in every role that he played where
544
00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:34.159
he was some type of a clown
of that type. I mean that movie
545
00:43:34.159 --> 00:43:37.679
alone is it's a It's it's an
iconic classic. It could be a cult
546
00:43:37.719 --> 00:43:42.480
film, kind of a cult type
of classic film. I would say,
547
00:43:42.480 --> 00:43:45.000
how about you, do you not
agree that's a movie you can watch your
548
00:43:45.039 --> 00:43:46.400
family over. Yeah. Like I
said, it's one of the movies that
549
00:43:46.440 --> 00:43:51.599
you can watch over and over again, and it still rings with a great
550
00:43:51.760 --> 00:43:54.760
comedic twist even today. So I
mean, it's it's it's great. Another
551
00:43:54.760 --> 00:43:59.679
one of the movies that I have
here on my action list was with Sylvester
552
00:43:59.679 --> 00:44:05.440
Shalo own as he mounts up in
Rambo three. And this is where Rambo
553
00:44:05.599 --> 00:44:09.039
mounts up on a mission to rescue
one of his friends Colonel Troutman from the
554
00:44:09.119 --> 00:44:15.400
clutches of the Formidable invading Soviet forces
in Afghanistan. One of the funniest things
555
00:44:15.400 --> 00:44:20.679
about the eighties was that everybody was
so paranoid. You remember this. Everybody
556
00:44:20.760 --> 00:44:23.679
was so paranoid. And anytime they
had bad people in a movie, you
557
00:44:23.719 --> 00:44:27.559
know, a country that wanted to
take over or fight us, it was
558
00:44:27.599 --> 00:44:31.599
always the Russians in the movie.
Remember that. And then we started picking
559
00:44:31.599 --> 00:44:36.239
on the Middle Eastern and then we
wonder why we're in the mess up?
560
00:44:36.320 --> 00:44:38.800
We are here in America, always
picking a fight with somebody else. It's
561
00:44:38.840 --> 00:44:44.079
like that Bullies that goes from a
neighborhood to neighborhood, messing around with kids.
562
00:44:44.360 --> 00:44:46.320
And the bottom line is stay in
your own neighborhood, keep to your
563
00:44:46.320 --> 00:44:50.719
own business. You have no right
to judge anybody else because you can't take
564
00:44:50.719 --> 00:44:52.400
care of the garbage in your own
yard. Yeah, piss all night.
565
00:44:53.039 --> 00:44:58.119
And you know, here's a movie
that was one of one of my favorite
566
00:44:58.119 --> 00:45:06.719
movies back in the nineteen eighty eight, The Blob. If it had a
567
00:45:06.840 --> 00:45:14.480
mind, you could reason with it. If it had a body, you
568
00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:21.039
could shoot it. If it had
a heart, you could kill it.
569
00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:25.079
I don't know if you were into
side. I saw the Blob and I
570
00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:30.960
saw it with I remember it was
a special I believe it was a Vira
571
00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:36.079
Mistress of the Dark show to remember
that the most gorgeous, voluptuous woman of
572
00:45:36.119 --> 00:45:39.119
you I as being as a young
Chang, every woman that I wanted to
573
00:45:39.159 --> 00:45:43.719
go out with had to resemble a
Vira. Yeah, that was just like
574
00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:49.800
the heavy metal goddess at the Chang
craved and longed for back Cassandra Peterson.
575
00:45:49.840 --> 00:45:52.880
By the way, Cassandra Peterson will
be I guess I'm back to the eighties
576
00:45:53.239 --> 00:45:57.360
very soon. I'll keep you posted
on that. But yeah, so we
577
00:45:57.760 --> 00:46:02.719
did make fun of a lot of
people from from other countries. And one
578
00:46:02.760 --> 00:46:07.280
of the movies that Arnold Schwarzenegger came
out in it didn't really gross too much
579
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:13.519
money back then, but he came
playing the part of a Russian police officer
580
00:46:14.119 --> 00:46:20.519
who came to the United States to
any teamed up with Jim Belushi, who
581
00:46:20.519 --> 00:46:25.119
played a police officer here in Chicago, and they search for a Georgian drug
582
00:46:25.159 --> 00:46:30.800
lord who had killed I guess Arnold
Schwarzenger's partner about do you remember blood Sport
583
00:46:30.920 --> 00:46:37.280
with the Great banda. Yeah,
well that was that nineteen eighty eight century.
584
00:46:37.440 --> 00:46:39.760
It was nineteen eight of the Black
Dragon has sanctioned to the ancient right
585
00:46:39.840 --> 00:46:47.159
of combat known as the Koubte,
open only to the world's most Sul warriors.
586
00:46:47.960 --> 00:46:52.960
It has never been won by a
Westerner. You are not Japanese.
587
00:46:52.159 --> 00:46:55.320
I can do it. Now.
For the first time, the true story
588
00:46:55.360 --> 00:47:01.079
of America's super Agent Franks can be
revealed. Uncle Sam kind of wow.
589
00:47:01.599 --> 00:47:06.679
Yeah, I remember the movie because
you know, Van Dan became another one
590
00:47:06.679 --> 00:47:12.400
of those iconic eighties action stars,
and you know, I remember wanting to
591
00:47:12.440 --> 00:47:14.960
be just like him, except for
the part where he did the splits,
592
00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:16.239
and he ended up doing the splits
in every single movie, remember that.
593
00:47:16.480 --> 00:47:20.000
Yeah? Yeah, But you know
what, which I thought was incredible.
594
00:47:20.039 --> 00:47:22.239
I wish I could have done that
back in the eighties, you know what
595
00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:24.159
I mean. I mean, but
the guy was chiseled like a like a
596
00:47:24.519 --> 00:47:29.199
like a stude of armor, like
a mountain. I always wanted to see
597
00:47:29.280 --> 00:47:32.840
him and Brendan Lee go ahead and
step into the ring and see who would
598
00:47:34.440 --> 00:47:36.800
tap out or throw each other to
the ground first. You know, I
599
00:47:36.800 --> 00:47:38.960
thought that would have been a pretty
epic fight. The son of Bruce Lee
600
00:47:39.320 --> 00:47:45.320
and another individual that is probably just
as deadly as Bruce Lee, but not
601
00:47:45.440 --> 00:47:51.039
quite as fast as the late great
master Bruce Lee himself. Yeah. Two
602
00:47:51.039 --> 00:47:53.280
more movies that I got on my
list, and one of them, believe
603
00:47:53.280 --> 00:48:00.519
it or not, was called The
Deadpool with of course dirty Harry Callahan himself
604
00:48:00.840 --> 00:48:05.960
Clint Eastwood. Now, I wonder
do you do you remember this movie?
605
00:48:06.239 --> 00:48:12.880
Yes? Okay, there was a
very very famous comedian that was making his
606
00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:20.280
debut in that movie, and he
played the part of the satanic hard rocker.
607
00:48:20.719 --> 00:48:23.280
Do you remember that scene? Do
you remember that person? The actor
608
00:48:23.320 --> 00:48:27.760
who played that? Oh? I
think that was was that Sam Kennison?
609
00:48:28.079 --> 00:48:36.000
No, it was Jim Carrey.
You're out of sync? John? Yeah?
610
00:48:36.039 --> 00:48:44.320
What them? Where can I sing
with sploding all over the place?
611
00:48:44.440 --> 00:48:46.039
Well, I don't see why we
couldn't shoot on a nice, warm sound
612
00:48:46.119 --> 00:48:52.079
stage instead of a goddamn meat locker
so the audience can see your breast when
613
00:48:52.119 --> 00:48:55.639
you sing. It's an effect brilliant. Won't the original or creative, but
614
00:48:55.719 --> 00:49:00.400
at least my asshole, what the
hell's that supposed to me? Means a
615
00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:06.800
director with talent would have the guts
to shoot something original instead of ripping off
616
00:49:06.920 --> 00:49:14.599
old movies like The Exorcist. That's
a hummage, stupid can handle it up
617
00:49:14.599 --> 00:49:22.639
my film? I what, just
let me go back to the trailer and
618
00:49:22.880 --> 00:49:29.760
get it together and then we'll kick
some mess o. Good okay, when
619
00:49:29.800 --> 00:49:32.880
I got a call, got a
cud place. But Johnny, Jim Carrey
620
00:49:34.079 --> 00:49:39.480
came out in that movie and played
the part of the supposed satanic type Heavy
621
00:49:39.559 --> 00:49:45.960
Medler. And you know there's a
killer. I see that again. Yeah,
622
00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:49.719
there's a killer killing famous people or
killing a bunch of people, you
623
00:49:49.800 --> 00:49:53.400
know, one of these um serial
killers. And the Meddler guy there,
624
00:49:53.440 --> 00:49:59.119
Heavy Medler guy, was on the
list and he ends up dying and it's
625
00:49:59.159 --> 00:50:02.280
a it's a hilarious this thing to
know that it was Jim Carrey. Who
626
00:50:02.280 --> 00:50:06.280
would have ever thought? Who would
have thought? I mean, because we
627
00:50:06.360 --> 00:50:09.039
didn't really he didn't become a household
name too. He was in a Living
628
00:50:09.119 --> 00:50:15.800
Color with the Wagons Brothers and the
Wagons Sisters. Yep. Absolutely. The
629
00:50:15.880 --> 00:50:19.719
last movie that I have on the
list is two young teens that are always
630
00:50:19.719 --> 00:50:23.880
striving to get their license to be
able to drive, and the movies called
631
00:50:23.920 --> 00:50:29.320
License to Drive nineteen eighty eight and
that was with the two Cories. That's
632
00:50:29.400 --> 00:50:32.039
Corey Hame and Corey Feldman. Did
you ever see that movie? Or was
633
00:50:32.119 --> 00:50:37.079
that two to two teenagers for two? T D boppered out for me and
634
00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:40.559
I hope Corey don't get ticked off, because I believe you're listening. No
635
00:50:42.000 --> 00:50:45.840
disrespect, But the chang back in
that era, I was not into the
636
00:50:45.960 --> 00:50:52.559
coreries. I was out looking for
hories. Let me throw out a one
637
00:50:52.679 --> 00:50:57.679
more as a bonus for nineteen eighty
eight movies that I have never seen because
638
00:50:57.800 --> 00:51:01.480
back then I was afraid. I
was so afraid of this movie. So
639
00:51:01.599 --> 00:51:07.039
I saw the trailer and that was
It was a movie about aliens who came
640
00:51:07.119 --> 00:51:14.599
down to terrorize a small town.
But they all were at night dressed as
641
00:51:14.840 --> 00:51:20.199
clowns. And the movie, of
course is Killer Clowns from outer Space.
642
00:51:22.840 --> 00:51:32.960
You see that something different? It's
the shooting start. Why here? Why
643
00:51:34.400 --> 00:51:52.559
now? Why clowns? Why they've
been knocking him dead all over the universe?
644
00:51:52.960 --> 00:52:00.599
Are you do block my flock off? Going for soon? They?
645
00:52:00.679 --> 00:52:09.760
Okay? Doing it at a theater
near you? Trimmer clowns space? Oh
646
00:52:10.880 --> 00:52:15.039
really? Did you ever see that? I've never seen it? No,
647
00:52:15.320 --> 00:52:20.400
I never seen that one I didn't
care to see that one, but I
648
00:52:20.480 --> 00:52:23.000
can imagine you'd be a frame.
I bet you you were afraid of Who
649
00:52:23.079 --> 00:52:27.280
framed Roger Rabbit? Well, no, because this is nineteen eighty eight,
650
00:52:27.360 --> 00:52:30.599
so I'm already you know, I'm
already in high school. But I had
651
00:52:30.639 --> 00:52:34.159
a thing with clowns, and especially
if they've got knives and chasing people,
652
00:52:34.679 --> 00:52:37.440
you know, when it's ninetime.
I didn't go for that. Now did
653
00:52:37.519 --> 00:52:42.239
you watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit back
in nineteen eighty eight? Of course,
654
00:52:42.280 --> 00:52:51.119
who wouldn't, especially for Roger Rabbit's
wife. Oh, the buluptuous redheaded stallion
655
00:52:51.360 --> 00:52:57.159
that walked upon us and got every
individual male a little aroused over a cartoon
656
00:52:58.039 --> 00:53:04.440
simply fantastick. Yeah, you remember
that's it was Jessica Rabbit, Jessica Rabbit.
657
00:53:04.840 --> 00:53:07.920
Now do you remember Crocodile Dundee?
You watch that movie night? Of
658
00:53:08.000 --> 00:53:12.079
course I did. I really enjoyed
was that nineteen eighty eight as well?
659
00:53:12.400 --> 00:53:15.360
It was nineteen eighty eight. Loved
Crocodile Dundee, the very first one.
660
00:53:16.079 --> 00:53:21.119
So when I was hunting dingos when
I left Hollywood and I was out chasing
661
00:53:21.159 --> 00:53:24.880
and I was hunting dingos that's where
the iconic that's right. I had to
662
00:53:25.000 --> 00:53:30.280
change the way I talked too.
I didn't go by Chang. That's where
663
00:53:30.320 --> 00:53:38.199
he placed the iconic phrase, Nie, that's a knife. Yeah, that's
664
00:53:38.320 --> 00:53:42.199
right, brother. You know it. This is back to the eighties.
665
00:53:42.440 --> 00:53:45.519
When we come back, there's more
reminiscing from nineteen eighty eight. Don't go
666
00:53:45.559 --> 00:53:50.960
away, because Chang is bringing on
the hate. That's right, hate hate
667
00:53:50.960 --> 00:53:54.199
hate hate. No. Back to
good, wholesome, politically correct entertainment.
668
00:53:54.719 --> 00:54:01.519
Oops, wrong station No. Back
to the eighties with Tuscano and Chang.
669
00:54:06.960 --> 00:54:10.039
Welcome back to the eighties. This
is Tiscano from Tskanno and Chang here on
670
00:54:10.159 --> 00:54:15.760
the show that brings back the memories
and the nostalgia of the nineteen eighties to
671
00:54:15.880 --> 00:54:20.199
a whole new generation. This is
a part of the show where we talk
672
00:54:20.239 --> 00:54:23.559
about what made us angry back in
the eighties. But in honor of the
673
00:54:23.679 --> 00:54:30.119
most wondrous Chang, we've dubbed them
Changres. So Chang, what made you
674
00:54:30.360 --> 00:54:37.840
changry in the eighties? Oh?
Have I got to tell you? You
675
00:54:37.000 --> 00:54:42.519
know what made me changry back in
nineteen eighty eight. Yeah. The Democratic
676
00:54:42.719 --> 00:54:49.880
nominee Michael Duke Caucus. Was it
because of the name of Duke Caucus reminds
677
00:54:49.920 --> 00:54:52.519
me of something I would refer to
when I have to take a crap.
678
00:54:52.920 --> 00:54:57.760
You know what else got me changry
back in nineteen eighty eight? What Pee
679
00:54:57.840 --> 00:55:05.320
Wees big My gotcha? So it
was a classic stupid I love Pee's h
680
00:55:05.880 --> 00:55:08.880
Playhouse, but I wanted to bang
the chicken. He's a movie and that's
681
00:55:08.920 --> 00:55:13.199
about that. You know what else
got me changry back in nineteen eighty eight?
682
00:55:13.440 --> 00:55:20.119
What's that? Not being able to
get five old ones as well?
683
00:55:20.199 --> 00:55:22.519
That that's why they had Miller's outpost. Yes, yes, yes, you
684
00:55:22.599 --> 00:55:25.840
know what else got me changry back
in nineteen eighty eight? Blade on me?
685
00:55:27.679 --> 00:55:31.559
It was never a sequel to Beetlejuice. That's right, we missed the
686
00:55:31.679 --> 00:55:37.880
sequel to Beetlejuice. Yes, great
movie. You know what got me changry
687
00:55:37.920 --> 00:55:44.079
back in the nineteen eighty eight movie
industry? What's that? The movie Twins?
688
00:55:45.320 --> 00:55:50.039
Prep was that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny
DeVito. That's right, horrible movie.
689
00:55:52.000 --> 00:55:55.400
You know what else got me changry
in nineteen eighty eight? Yeah,
690
00:55:57.639 --> 00:56:02.639

And remember let Tuscano and changing back to
711
00:57:32.360 --> 00:57:36.679
the eighties, put a smile on
that face, because right now the whole
712
00:57:36.719 --> 00:57:40.360
world could use a lot of smiling. And speaking of smiling, I remember
713
00:57:40.440 --> 00:57:45.719
that not too many people smile when
we think about global warming. In a
714
00:57:45.840 --> 00:57:51.320
nineteen eighty eight On June twenty third, NASA scientist James Hansen testified to the
715
00:57:51.480 --> 00:57:58.360
US Senate that man made global warming
had begun. Yes, nineteen eighty eight,
716
00:57:58.800 --> 00:58:01.920
global warming hand begun. Now.
I know a lot of people don't
717
00:58:01.920 --> 00:58:06.599
believe in it, and a lot
of people do. Personally, I prefer
718
00:58:06.679 --> 00:58:10.320
to believe in the science of it
all. And it's pretty hard to ignore
719
00:58:10.440 --> 00:58:16.800
when you are looking at some of
the changes all around you. Yes,
720
00:58:17.280 --> 00:58:20.519
you know, And I don't want
to throw anybody under the bus. And
721
00:58:20.880 --> 00:58:23.599
I'm not going to get into any
political aspect or what I do or don't
722
00:58:23.639 --> 00:58:28.320
believe it, But I do believe
in global warming. I do believe mankind
723
00:58:28.400 --> 00:58:32.039
has used mother to be its own
toilet and receptacle. Can I think that
724
00:58:32.159 --> 00:58:37.079
all of us have been caught up
in our own kind of self righteousness.
725
00:58:38.079 --> 00:58:43.400
Everybody's a little bit too full of
themselves. Nobody really cares anymore. And
726
00:58:44.440 --> 00:58:49.960
I think the farther and farther we
get away from exploring other ways of energy,
727
00:58:50.079 --> 00:58:53.920
whether it be a residential, commercial
of vehicle wise, we're going to
728
00:58:54.280 --> 00:58:59.800
speed up our possible day to where
one day we're not going to be here.
729
00:59:00.519 --> 00:59:02.920
If you look at the weather that
we're having here in the States,
730
00:59:04.519 --> 00:59:07.960
it's a sure side of global warming
if you if you keep in touch with
731
00:59:07.159 --> 00:59:10.679
the global reports, and you look
at some of the ice caps that are
732
00:59:10.760 --> 00:59:15.440
melting right now as me and you
were clouding around. People are listening.
733
00:59:15.840 --> 00:59:19.519
This is definitely something that you have
to take to heart and you have to
734
00:59:19.599 --> 00:59:22.280
do your part. Did you know
Chang that a couple of days ago.
735
00:59:22.599 --> 00:59:27.000
This came out on the news a
couple of days ago in the city of
736
00:59:27.360 --> 00:59:30.320
Malibu. Now Malibu is a beach
town, Okay, it's on the coast.
737
00:59:30.840 --> 00:59:34.880
Malibu is where surfers hang out,
and of course, a lot of
738
00:59:35.320 --> 00:59:39.800
actors and famous celebrities live there.
But Malibu's on the beach. Okay,
739
00:59:39.880 --> 00:59:45.960
we're talking their sand and the beach. It's snowed in Malibu just a few
740
00:59:45.039 --> 00:59:50.480
days ago. That's insane. So
that is crazy. Some of the other
741
00:59:50.519 --> 00:59:54.360
stuff that happened in nineteen eighty eight
around the world. The first McDonald's restaurant
742
00:59:54.559 --> 01:00:00.000
opened up and was run by a
communist party in Belgrade u Lava. It
743
01:00:00.159 --> 01:00:06.239
was nineteen eighty eight March twenty fourth, to be exact. Another one followed
744
01:00:06.280 --> 01:00:08.880
in nineteen eighty nine in Budapest,
and then and so on in Moscow in
745
01:00:09.079 --> 01:00:15.400
nineteen ninety and so forth. But
McDonald's was making its way through the world.
746
01:00:15.920 --> 01:00:19.360
And you know, this is one
of those things, one of those
747
01:00:19.639 --> 01:00:23.960
places where it doesn't matter what party
of politics you belong to, it doesn't
748
01:00:24.000 --> 01:00:30.199
matter what religion you are. McDonald's
is an icebreaker man. McDonald's will make
749
01:00:30.239 --> 01:00:35.880
its way anywhere. I think there's
McDonald's around the universe somewhere. If if
750
01:00:36.039 --> 01:00:39.679
McDonald's can be and some alien planet, it'd be the first restaurant to be
751
01:00:39.800 --> 01:00:44.639
there. I think on Mars there
had to be a McDonald's and a Starbucks.
752
01:00:45.280 --> 01:00:49.920
It seemed like Starbucks is the new
McDonald's. That crap is. Everywhere
753
01:00:49.960 --> 01:00:52.840
you go to the market you can
get a Starbucks. And just down the
754
01:00:52.880 --> 01:00:54.960
street there's a Starbucks. You can
go through the drive through one. It's
755
01:00:55.000 --> 01:01:00.880
insane. Yeah, it's Starbucks is
like crack cocaine back in the eighties,
756
01:01:00.159 --> 01:01:04.440
you know what I mean. People
lose their freaking mind for Starbucks. People
757
01:01:04.480 --> 01:01:08.400
want to run each other over at
the drive through in Starbucks. And yeah,
758
01:01:08.440 --> 01:01:12.760
and it's not even real coffee.
I mean, they have right coffee,
759
01:01:13.000 --> 01:01:17.119
but nobody have myra my frau,
pay my h oh man, my
760
01:01:19.079 --> 01:01:22.039
it's gone really yeah. You know. The interesting thing is that although they
761
01:01:22.119 --> 01:01:27.280
have real coffee, and I'm sure
it's really really good, nobody there orders
762
01:01:27.320 --> 01:01:31.440
the real coffee. Everybody goes there
for these specialty items, you know,
763
01:01:32.280 --> 01:01:38.320
with three pumps of this and and
lactose free that, and so it's all
764
01:01:38.400 --> 01:01:44.559
a weird concoction and it has no
coffee in it. April thirtieth, nineteen
765
01:01:44.599 --> 01:01:49.480
eighty eight, World Expo eighty eight
opens in Brisbane, Queensland, on Australia.
766
01:01:50.159 --> 01:01:52.840
You know, nineteen eighty eight,
Chang was one of those nasty years
767
01:01:53.039 --> 01:01:58.639
in the sense of things going on
around the world, was a lot of
768
01:01:58.760 --> 01:02:04.599
turmoil. There was a lot of
you know, people getting killed in wars
769
01:02:04.800 --> 01:02:08.079
and cease fires. There was Al
Qaeda was formed, by the way,
770
01:02:08.440 --> 01:02:13.440
by Osama bin Laden August eleventh,
nineteen eighty eight. Did you know this,
771
01:02:14.440 --> 01:02:17.800
Yeah, I remember this. This
was This will always go down in
772
01:02:19.000 --> 01:02:22.280
history as a big question mark.
I think to half of the people,
773
01:02:22.360 --> 01:02:25.800
and half of the people think,
you know, half of the people think
774
01:02:25.880 --> 01:02:29.239
that it was a great thing.
Half of the people think that we shouldn't
775
01:02:29.280 --> 01:02:34.400
have gotten involved because it kind of
his catapulta to what we see with the
776
01:02:34.480 --> 01:02:37.599
problems we're having all over the Middle
East now with our own selves. So
777
01:02:37.360 --> 01:02:40.280
I mean, who's to say,
but yeah, I do remember that a
778
01:02:40.480 --> 01:02:46.760
very horrific individual of himself, A
dictator, a narcissistic dictator. The Lord
779
01:02:46.840 --> 01:02:52.760
knows we've seen our share of those
throughout this world's history. Hell, I
780
01:02:52.840 --> 01:02:55.280
think we had wouldn't leave the old
office not that long ago. But without
781
01:02:55.400 --> 01:03:00.320
that being said, yeah, I
remember that like it was yes to day.
782
01:03:00.000 --> 01:03:04.280
How old were you when that happened, Well, in eighty eight,
783
01:03:04.760 --> 01:03:09.000
you know, I was about play
fIF fifteen, sixteen years old. Yeah,
784
01:03:09.519 --> 01:03:13.000
so I wasn't. Yeah, I
was. I wasn't playing with toys
785
01:03:13.039 --> 01:03:17.800
anymore. You're playing with girls.
Yeah. October October twenty seventh, Ronald
786
01:03:17.840 --> 01:03:22.960
Reagan decided to tear down the new
US Embassy in Moscow because of Soviet listening
787
01:03:23.039 --> 01:03:28.440
devices in the building structure. So
this is a you know, James Bond
788
01:03:28.599 --> 01:03:32.400
kind of stuff. This is a
spy stuff going down. Um now,
789
01:03:32.719 --> 01:03:38.880
can you imagine Ronald Reagan being like
a spy? Well, I know this
790
01:03:39.760 --> 01:03:46.320
mission's going to be impossible and made
a funny, very good movie like his
791
01:03:46.480 --> 01:03:51.400
hair color. Oh oh, back
to business, I mean yeah, yeah.
792
01:03:52.280 --> 01:03:57.320
Interesting thing happened in Mexico on December
one of nineteen eighty eight. Carlos
793
01:03:57.480 --> 01:04:01.800
selenez Degortati takes office as Prey of
Mexico. Interesting note about this is the
794
01:04:01.880 --> 01:04:06.440
following. I heard around the grape
vine that when he started, Okay,
795
01:04:06.519 --> 01:04:14.400
when this gentleman Carlos Selenezi started,
he was at one point one of the
796
01:04:14.519 --> 01:04:18.320
greatest presidents, if not the greatest
president of Mexico had ever had, until
797
01:04:18.440 --> 01:04:26.920
he decided to leave office and take
with him the majority of Mexico's cash funds.
798
01:04:28.079 --> 01:04:30.840
Yeah, so he had to leave
because I guess he's stoled from the
799
01:04:30.920 --> 01:04:41.519
country over four billion dollars in cash. Okay, and of course he lives
800
01:04:41.559 --> 01:04:45.239
in a country that he cannot be
extradited to Mexico. I believe he lives
801
01:04:45.280 --> 01:04:48.000
in Ireland. So yeah, everything
went down, the drain, his reputation
802
01:04:48.119 --> 01:04:51.840
and everything. It's funny how that
happens with certain politicians. I wonder if
803
01:04:53.159 --> 01:04:59.880
he's introduced the Irish people to manoeudal
and shots of tequila. That's something that
804
01:05:00.039 --> 01:05:05.360
think about. Yeah, it's just
something interesting. Now October twentieth, nineteen
805
01:05:05.519 --> 01:05:11.199
eighty eight, this is going to
hit home for you, specifically Chang.
806
01:05:11.880 --> 01:05:16.639
Now, this date is very important
if you love sports, and especially or
807
01:05:16.719 --> 01:05:20.840
particularly if you love baseball, because
it was the year that the Los Angeles
808
01:05:21.000 --> 01:05:27.920
Dodgers won four games to one in
the nineteen eighty eight World Series against the
809
01:05:28.119 --> 01:05:34.679
Oakland A's the Oakland Athletics. I
recall calling them the Open Athletics. My
810
01:05:34.880 --> 01:05:42.920
hate of Northern California is greater than
anything I hate. Why do you hate
811
01:05:43.079 --> 01:05:46.320
Northern California. We've got so many
listeners from Northern California. You can't ate
812
01:05:48.320 --> 01:05:53.320
you know what. I don't hate
you. I just densely dislike your or
813
01:05:53.519 --> 01:05:58.679
is it because you live there?
Now? Well, I live close close
814
01:05:58.760 --> 01:06:03.320
have you lived to the middle.
I'm closer to Central Oakland and San Francisco,
815
01:06:03.559 --> 01:06:11.679
Yeah, and uh Stockton and Sacramental. Then I am my hometown of
816
01:06:11.760 --> 01:06:16.559
East Low bo the hood southern California, the city of Champions. Yes,
817
01:06:16.760 --> 01:06:21.599
I am closer to northern California,
but they hate stays at the same rate.
818
01:06:23.440 --> 01:06:28.440
So now do you remember a very
famous pitcher for the Dodgers back then.
819
01:06:29.280 --> 01:06:33.000
That was the great Oral Hersheizer.
Yes, yes, sir, the
820
01:06:33.159 --> 01:06:42.039
bulldog, the straight face, six
guns slinging, sniper, tight pitching caliber
821
01:06:42.320 --> 01:06:45.400
of Oral Hershiser, number fifty five, a Dodger great. You know,
822
01:06:45.480 --> 01:06:48.719
I want to give a special shout
out to Mark Hernandez, who we I
823
01:06:48.880 --> 01:06:54.199
give a quite you know, I
give shout outs quite often. My best
824
01:06:54.239 --> 01:06:57.559
friend from high school, from junior
high in high school, he got to
825
01:06:57.679 --> 01:07:02.639
go to I believe it was the
last game. His dad took him to
826
01:07:03.000 --> 01:07:09.639
that last game, so he was
actually there watching the Dodgers win the World
827
01:07:09.719 --> 01:07:13.320
Series. He said, I think
I remember him saying it was the greatest
828
01:07:13.400 --> 01:07:17.079
experienced sporting experience of his life.
It was awesome, man. I mean
829
01:07:17.159 --> 01:07:20.480
I went to so many Dodger games. You know, I didn't get to
830
01:07:20.480 --> 01:07:24.719
go to the World Series, but
every time watching at home, it was
831
01:07:24.800 --> 01:07:27.639
just like a spectacle of fun.
Man. I mean, when I think
832
01:07:27.679 --> 01:07:30.360
of Dodger Baseball, I think of
my youth. I think of my grandfather,
833
01:07:30.519 --> 01:07:35.159
my father, I think of my
buddies, I think of my sister.
834
01:07:35.280 --> 01:07:40.079
Remember, I think of family.
Dodger Stadium job is Ravine. I
835
01:07:40.119 --> 01:07:42.280
mean, what a great name.
I don't need to go into why I
836
01:07:42.360 --> 01:07:45.920
think it's a great name. It's
a great freaking name of the history in
837
01:07:45.000 --> 01:07:50.400
that community alone, how how that
field was built, and the two sides
838
01:07:50.440 --> 01:07:53.559
of the story, the good and
the bad, that could go together with
839
01:07:53.679 --> 01:07:57.559
that story. So anybody that wants
to check out the background of Dodger Stadium
840
01:07:57.599 --> 01:08:00.880
and chob Is Ravine, I guarantee
it's going to give you some crazy information,
841
01:08:00.039 --> 01:08:03.599
good and bad. But in nineteen
eighty eight, the same year,
842
01:08:03.679 --> 01:08:09.920
my Los Angeles Lakers were in the
NBA Championships against the Detroit Pistons, in
843
01:08:10.000 --> 01:08:12.880
which they did lose, which I
think they were robbed, but they lost.
844
01:08:13.280 --> 01:08:15.840
So we had the Dodgers and the
Lakers both battling for the pride of
845
01:08:15.920 --> 01:08:19.960
Los Angeles. Then yeah, you
got that right. Just like we've had
846
01:08:20.079 --> 01:08:25.239
lately, my daughters and my Lakers
World champions. No one can take us
847
01:08:25.279 --> 01:08:28.920
out. We're normal to UNO number
one. That's right, Northern California lost.
848
01:08:28.960 --> 01:08:31.439
I'm Angeles home of the Champions.
Except for my loss, I'm Nulis
849
01:08:31.600 --> 01:08:35.560
Rams who choked there? I put
it out there. I want to thank
