00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:15.120
call the eighth Wonder of nature here
and back to the eighties, we call

13
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:18.920

I thought it was the seventh Wonder.

00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.599
No, you're the eighth wonder,
my friend. Well, maybe I'll move

15

your medical officers. I would say
politicians, but there are a bunch

29
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:23.759

I won't say a shout out to them.

I want to give a shout out

31
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:30.960
A shout out to a good friend
of mine right now, Mike A.

32
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:36.120
Salinas. I know you're filmed lonely. I know you don't have a woman,

33
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:39.280
but I'm thinking about you anyway.
A special shout out to my good

34
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:46.479
friends sitting in studio next to you, Tuscanno's looking just as sexy in a

35
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:51.479
black shirt. Well, a very
special occasion today, Chang and I appreciate

36
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:55.599
the shout out because today we have
in studio a man who has turned into

37
00:02:55.960 --> 00:03:00.599
like a brother for me by the
name of Mark Hernandez. We have known

38
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:04.879
each other since junior high, since
the seventh grade. So a big shout

39
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.680
out and thank you for John n. Mark. He uh right on the

40
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.319
plane to be with us. So
Mark, thank you for being Thank you

41
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:13.840
man. I want to give a
shout out to all the people on the

42
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:17.719
plane today that survived that landing.
Our hearts, our hearts jumped out of

43
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:23.360
our chest for a moment there,
I'm inte. John Wayne Airport, Yeah

44
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:28.479
yeah, John Wayne Airport has little
doggies. Don't be afraid of the bumpity

45
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:34.199
bump ride because remember we gotta fly
over those Indians and those next again,

46
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.960
so a little so John Wayne Airport, for those of you who don't know,

47
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.719
it's very small airport. Very nice, very modern, but very short

48
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:45.919
runways, so both the takeoff and
the landings are very sharp. But that

49
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:50.319
landing is horrible, horrible. You
know what. The John Wayne Airport reminds

50
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:55.120
me of Tusky. What the seven
ten Freeway. Why it's like because it

51
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.759
and the roads all jacked up.
We're gonna take a break when we come

52
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.120
back. There's more of the madness
here on Back to the Eighties Radio.

53
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:09.560
Don't go in, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Shadow Stevens and you must listen

54
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:16.560
to Back to the Eighties Radio.
It's the law. Mexican Americas don't like

55
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:23.800
to just get into gang fights and
like flowers and music and white girls named

56
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:33.079
Debbie Doo. Mexican Americas are named
chat Challin Jemma and have a son in

57
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:42.240
law named Jeff. Mexican Americas don't
like to get up early in the morning,

58
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:49.319
but they have to, so they
do it real slow. Mexican Americas

59
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:55.959
love education, so they go to
night school and they take Spanish and get

60
00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:05.439
a bea. Mexican Americans love their
nanas and their noos and their ninas and

61
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:14.839
their n nos na no. Mexican
Americas don't like to go to the movies

62
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:18.879
where the dude has to wear contact
lands. Tomica's blue eyes brown because don't

63
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:26.199
make my brown eyes blue. And
that's all I got. Now back to

64
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:32.759
good, wholesome, politically correct entertainment. Oops Rock Station No. Back to

65
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:43.199
the Eighties with Toscano and Chang.
Welcome back to Back to the Eighties,

66
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.079
hosted by Toscano and Chang. And
yes, as a wall, this is

67
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:54.439
the Chang and we have a childhood
guess of the great Tusky Toscanno. Yes

68
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:59.759
he's not Italian, but he is
Latino. And I'm sure the three of

69
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:05.839
us kind indulge on some of the
culprints of the eighties. Mark Tiscano,

70
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:10.639
welcome, thank you back to the
eighties. I appreciate it. Brother.

71
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:13.920
I want to keep a very special
shout out to Kevin Grayden who just joined

72
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.920
our group, our back to the
Eighties group from Kevin, and a very

73
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:21.199
very special shout out to Susan Freeman, who will be interviewing here on the

74
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:27.000
show next Friday. So keep your
ears and eyes peeled out for that show.

75
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:31.600
So we do have in studio my
buddy from my childhood and we went

76
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:36.000
to school in Santa Fe Springs,
and by the way, today, you

77
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:41.199
know, Mark lives out of town, so he arrived today by airplane and

78
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:45.480
we went out to our old neighborhoods
in the city of Santa Fe Springs.

79
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.879
We went to visit our high school, our junior high, our old hangout

80
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:54.160
places and things like that. It's
funny because whenever I used to like hearing

81
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:59.639
YouTube, mart Marta marka Marca would
make fun of me. Good both job

82
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:05.759
Mark, I didn't want to Mark. What was your favorite not the Beatles?

83
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:09.600
What was what was your favorite band? Mark back when we were kids?

84
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:13.480
And what has changed from then to
the lease? I love the rock

85
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:20.199
I love rock Man Man Hey like
Hey Donald, do me a favorite Will

86
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:28.720
Smith? That guy? Was that
your favorite band? Can I remember?

87
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:34.040
Did he do drugs or what?
Yeah? Somebody will Smith that guy?

88
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:38.000
All right? So no, but
was that one of your favorite bands?

89
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:41.639
Because I remember you and I listened
to a lot of Power one L six

90
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:45.759
back then, which was was the
hip was the hip hop station of LA.

91
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:47.959
But they also played a lot of
pop, which is yeah. I

92
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:54.319
was influenced by my older female cousins
and I listened to a lot of like

93
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:58.399
I used to mentioned Duran, Duran
and the here. Yeah, let me

94
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:01.879
ask you a question, Mark,
I of the metal and the rock and

95
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:05.800
roll. As you can tell by
my golden locks that I as you can

96
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:11.879
tell by the hate of other music. You take it easy over there,

97
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:20.079
mister, I like poison, I
do, Mark Cinderella, I do.

98
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:24.639
Sit there. Mark. Now,
if you are a fan of hip hop

99
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.399
and really feel the vibe of hip
hop, you have to know in the

100
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:35.480
eighties NWA, Public Enemy, Tupac, snoopdo jj Y, the Real Dale.

101
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:39.240
But you gotta remember that's late eighties. It doesn't matter. It's still

102
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:41.360
the eggs. I know, I
understand. But if you really want to

103
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:43.879
do eighties, then you go.
So you want to go at, you

104
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.600
want to run DMC, you go
a little bit earlier than you boys.

105
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:56.200
You really want to go back in
the times where rock metal sucked and joined

106
00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:03.440
hip hop to create a new wait
Listen to me with Anthrax and Arrowsmith with

107
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:09.159
hip hop to create this new vibe. No, brother, I cannot handle

108
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:16.080
that. I am going to set
in stone the difference between pure metal and

109
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:22.519
pure hip hop. Why Public Enemy? Because there is no truth but the

110
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:26.639
truth of the street. You have
to understand that. Now, like our

111
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:33.799
Arrow what sugar Hill Gang? Come
on, bro, that that opened up

112
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:37.840
the door for a Yeah, I'm
going to go to a backyard party and

113
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:43.399
I'm gonna bust out some madness.
I'm gonna bust out some sugar Hill Gang.

114
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:50.120
I'm gonna bust out something like that
runs run DMC, and I'm going

115
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:54.159
to get sadisfike. No, the
majority of people who were in who were

116
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.879
where at least where we grew up, and it's got that's also where you

117
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.399
grew up part of your life as
well. We liked pretty much prison,

118
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.120
We liked pretty much everything right.
But so going back to the original question,

119
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.120
who was your favorite band if you
had one, and and has anything

120
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:18.679
changed? It was so vast the
music. You find something in hip hop

121
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:22.559
that sounds really good in rock,
like I mean even like some of those

122
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:26.600
pop bands, like some of those
songs are great. Did you like,

123
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:30.200
for example, there's a couple of
bands that I hated all my life.

124
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.919
I will always hate Rush. Well
that's probably number one, number number two?

125
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:39.279
Mark you loved Rush? Right?
Rush? Yeah, Okay, my

126
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:43.519
ears have not started bleeding him and
relax. The fifty two, Yeah,

127
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:50.720
I hated it when I heard the
song the love Shack Holy Cow, I

128
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:56.159
said, these people hate that song
too. So the funny thing is when

129
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.639
Mark and I used to listen to
the radio. Yeah, he would put

130
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:05.360
up the volume loud whenever a certain
song would come on, especially especially who

131
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:11.639
sings that song, the fine Young
Cannibals. Oh yeah, but remember their

132
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:20.240
hit song she Drives Me Crazy with
anhym of the Songscano. That band sucked.

133
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:22.480
Well, it suck to me.
Mark, did you like them?

134
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:26.159
No? I did. I just
did it to the Oh yeah, no,

135
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:30.600
wonder Hey I like them? Where
you bring up suck song for all

136
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.759
of us? I love that because
we at back to the eighties, we

137
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.080
cannot cater to like. Oh I
love that band, they were great.

138
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:41.919
No, we are gonna distribute the
hate that we had Tiscano, Duran,

139
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:50.600
durand quickly phenomenal. I love Duran
Duran You're now see you because we're from

140
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:54.080
the eighties. I can take that. Gifts for fears, I love cheers

141
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:58.279
for fear. However, Yeah,
let look, life is about likes and

142
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:07.879
dislikes. So Mark chang the Smiths, yes or no? Suck all right,

143
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:11.639
Mark? The Smiths are like the
neighbors are like they got white cheats

144
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:16.120
in their closets. I can't trust
them, Mark, Mark. Uh the

145
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:20.440
rhythmics, Oh, I'm okay with
it, Okay, yes, yes,

146
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:22.240
okay, I agree. Great band, all right, right, Mark,

147
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:28.440
Mark the rhythmics, lyrically, vocal
wise, dude, you can't beat Annie

148
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:33.360
Lennox, you just can't. And
with Dave Stewart her quiet husband. Dude,

149
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:37.440
they jam. They were a great
twosome. But I thought they went

150
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:41.039
poppy. What do you think,
Mark? I agree with you. Yeah,

151
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:45.960
yeah, I think they did good. But I think that after two

152
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:48.519
that's it. I wouldn't listen to
them anymore. Just like, let me

153
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:50.840
give you an example. You guys
both know, okay, okay, get

154
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:56.159
my favorite band of all time Cure. Okay? Is you two right?

155
00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:01.799
However, there was a time when
you two went all electronics. I hated

156
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:05.000
the band when they love the Zoo. You're talking about the Zoo anything that

157
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:09.240
they made all electronics. And you
remember this, you two got away from

158
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:16.840
what they originally started. And now
they went back to their origins, to

159
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:20.639
the way that they started. And
now I him again. You know,

160
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.720
we go in depth. You know
why they went mainstream? Correct? They

161
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:31.759
were held up against on their record
commitment their recording equipment to put something out

162
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:37.799
quick. So they did, and
they thought it would be significant for the

163
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:43.600
listener and the the you know,
the radio organization that well, they thought

164
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:46.200
it was. And they also thought
it was going to be relatable because everybody

165
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:50.360
was going everybody was going that way. And if it was rejected, right,

166
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:58.000
it was rejected hardcore Okay, oh
oh, it's like you to It's

167
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:03.120
like telling Chang if he likes the
cure, is like telling him, would

168
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.320
you ever slap your mom? That's
how bad it is. Yeah, you

169
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:09.720
know what, Mark, I slap
my mom if he made an observation I

170
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:13.559
did not apply with and Mark could
God? Mark, I love you.

171
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:18.200
I appreciate you coming onto the show
and flying from Vegas to be with us,

172
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:24.639
and I appreciate you being the best
friend of my best friend on Back

173
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:26.440
to the eighties. But I'm gonna
lay it to you both, guys.

174
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:31.720
I'm looking at the screen. Mardo
has a Tiger Woods looking at you look

175
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:37.840
like a strip club bouncer, tight
black shirt. You look like a Chollo

176
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:39.840
that was kicked out of a gang. But you would still kick ass.

177
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:45.559
But I will tell you this,
if you ever bring up the shut my

178
00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:50.559
face. I will drive down to
LA in six hours and I will slap

179
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:58.240
the hell because that guy, all
that guy is a resemblance of the Saw,

180
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:03.679
the Little Monkey, the Little Puppet
cycle. Yeah, the Target brand

181
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:09.799
tattoo on his face with weak ass
hair. Ridey is bicycle to kill.

182
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:16.000
The Cure has got to be the
cure for me dying right away now.

183
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:20.159
I gotta tell you now, if
you ask me that question what anywhere,

184
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:22.159
I would say yes all the way
and I'll still listen to the Cure.

185
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:26.039
I love the Cure because this is
one of the few bands a week that

186
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:31.679
have not lost their style and the
voice. The voice is still the same

187
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:35.279
now. The look of Quick he
does look like a cast member of the

188
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:39.960
Walking Dead. Aside from that,
they are a great band. How can

189
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:46.039
you lose the style of being weak? You can't do it, My brothers,

190
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:56.039
what is your most favorite band of
the eighties in musical lyrical content that

191
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:02.720
helped you get you some tough times? For me particularly, it would be,

192
00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:07.960
of course my favorite band YouTube YouTube, and it would be the song

193
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:12.159
where the Streets Have No Name,
because there was a period in my life

194
00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:15.399
where we had moved so much.
When I was a little kid, and

195
00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:22.399
to me, all streets seem like
the same. Well, my cousins used

196
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:26.159
to listen to, like Tears for
Fears, depeche Mode, one hit wonder

197
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:27.840
type things. Yeah, because I
was around, you know what, j

198
00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:33.919
Mark, I can identify with Tears
for Fears. Everybody that one song they

199
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:37.960
had it on Home Man, that
song hits home. Everybody wants to rule

200
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:41.279
the world. Yeah, wants to
rule the world. I mean that song

201
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:47.679
alone, I think kind of an
inspider generation, kind of transcended what they

202
00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:49.799
were all about. And I mean
it was, I mean how it was.

203
00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:55.919
It was on a TV talk show
host from former s and now Steve,

204
00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:57.919
you know, even as the fact, I just remember there was another

205
00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:04.519
song by a band that you of
course hate um of but depeche Mode.

206
00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:11.759
You see, depeche Mode have has
a song called people or People. So

207
00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:18.160
that's a great songs. Yes,
people people, So why should it be

208
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:22.319
that people should treat each other so
awfully? Oh yeah, dude, that's

209
00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:26.960
a great, a great tune,
bro that you brought up. Yeah,

210
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:32.039
what about you chang? One of
my most favorite songs probably of the eighties

211
00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:37.119
holds Bear I cry when I hear
it and that's called United by Judas Priest

212
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:55.319
put out in eighty one, and
the lyrical content is United, United United,

213
00:17:55.400 --> 00:18:00.720
we stand united, United, United, We fall to day we have

214
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:06.119
lost that insight. Now, my
brothers, you remember during nine to eleven,

215
00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:11.720
America praised and said we were pulled
together. True, we would let

216
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:15.519
nothing divide us. Yeah, hey
man, I've lost faith in our political

217
00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:22.279
system since nineteen eighty. Yeah,
I'm feeling young, I'm feeling long,

218
00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:26.559
and I'm feeling strong. I will
say that, but I will say that

219
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:32.920
one song is what we need to
get back to. We lie to ourselves

220
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:37.680
during nine to eleven, we said
we got each other's back, nothing will

221
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:42.400
divide us. Okay, then we
get an election to where opened up the

222
00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:48.920
doors for division. But you gotta
remember change. A lot of what happened

223
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:55.279
in our latest elections before Biden is
all a result of mentality of a long

224
00:18:55.720 --> 00:19:03.400
history of both the Generation X and
the Boom and the Boomer generation, because

225
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:08.000
it's something that's been in the making
for many, many, many decades,

226
00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:12.079
but it was on hold. It
was kind of on hold. So people

227
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:18.640
during the eighties they didn't want to
be seen as racist, although there's always

228
00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:22.240
been racism so a lot of it
has been thought of that it was gone,

229
00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:26.200
but in reality it was just suppressed. So people thought, Okay,

230
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:32.759
there's no more racism. Our culture, our society has advanced. These are

231
00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:37.720
the eighties. This is the decade
of indulgence, the decade of excess.

232
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:41.720
From here on out, everything is
going to be beautiful. And in the

233
00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:47.319
future. I remember this. Some
of my teachers in junior high in high

234
00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:48.599
school used to say, oh,
in the future, in the years two

235
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:52.359
thousand and beyond, racism should be
a thing of the past. And the

236
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:57.680
problem is that our parents from back
then brought up that way, so therefore

237
00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:03.359
they taught their kids that way.
Yes, and as time progressed, now

238
00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:07.680
here comes the group of people that
created this brand. So they create this

239
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:11.720
brand and they work on the American
public came to say, you remember that

240
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:17.000
stuff that we had suppressed during the
eighties, during the nineties, Well,

241
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:19.200
it's actually okay, yeah, exactly, you know what I mean. So

242
00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:26.000
we can trace it back to both
our generation and beyond our generation way before.

243
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:30.839
That makes me think about being raised
by my grandparents. They they were

244
00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:33.920
see they were born nineteen twenty nine, so they came up in the world

245
00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:38.759
War two era. They lived in
Watts, but Watts was predominantly all Hispanic

246
00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:45.240
at the time. Yeah, I
remember they told me that African Americans came

247
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:48.119
there from World War Two. When
they docked the ships, they would go

248
00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:52.319
there, and they told me the
stories, and so little by little they

249
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:56.640
went to the outskirt Santa Fe Springs
where they ended up. I was raised

250
00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:03.079
with a little bit of prejudice because
of them, so I had that in

251
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:07.519
me. It wasn' until I got
a little older where I started seeing people

252
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:11.759
as as as people were all people, no matter what color, you know.

253
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:17.599
And I had to break that on
my own because they put their their

254
00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:22.079
values and their experiences into into me
being raised by them, and I had

255
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:29.519
to break that on my own,
you know, me being grown raised in

256
00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:36.160
the rassa. But again with my
dad being a alcoholic counselor to guys in

257
00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:41.960
and out of prison and women,
and my dad being a Brown Beret of

258
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:48.480
the seventies during the Civil Rights movement, to where my dad was involved in

259
00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:56.480
the East La riots. I in
tune saw the prejudice of a surname,

260
00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:00.759
your name being held against you,
Lord is the way I look. I've

261
00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:08.200
been beaten by cops push putting incarcerated
for no reason. So I truly attach

262
00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:15.480
to the struggle of what we've seen
through our three time brains of growing up,

263
00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:23.839
and I understand that I think we
regressed rather than progressed nowadays. Everything

264
00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:32.440
that we're suffering today in society is
a result of the upbringing and the brainwashing

265
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:37.759
of past generations. And unfortunately,
some people that are so ingrained with this

266
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:41.960
brainwashing that they will never learn and
they will teach it to their kids in

267
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:47.880
future generations. One of the ways
that we can combat this, it's not

268
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:51.440
we're not going to solve it,
but one way to be able to combat

269
00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:55.759
it is one person at a time, and that's why we hear it back

270
00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:59.400
to the eighties. Are trying to
do our best to bring smiles to people,

271
00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:03.400
especially when it's their toughest times.
We were here during COVID and we're

272
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:06.920
gonna be here for many, many
more years to come. This is back

273
00:23:06.920 --> 00:23:11.119
to the eighties. Don't go away. No. If it's totally tubular,

274
00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:29.160
red or awesome, it's on.

We are back. If you're just

Radio at gmail dot com. We are

317
00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:14.039
talking about some of the experiences back
in the eighties. We got a little

318
00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:15.839
political there. We don't like to
do that, but it comes out from

319
00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:19.759
time to time. Let's talk a
little bit about some of our experiences.

320
00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:22.680
You know. One of the biggest
things that was very, very popular,

321
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:27.400
It's always been popular in school and
that is skipping school. And of course

322
00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:32.960
the market not want to promote.
No, we're not, we're not.

323
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:37.279
We're not promoting it, but we
will mention because you look like Tiger Woods,

324
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:41.319
please stay in school. Stay in
school. But I do want to

325
00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:45.920
mention that there have been more than
one time, maybe a few times or

326
00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:49.799
maybe more that Mark and I,
as we reminisced today in pass in front

327
00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:52.559
of our high school, we thought, remember when the day was beautiful?

328
00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:56.279
And what was our our train of
thought? Mark, it's too beautiful to

329
00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:00.440
go to school. How could I
possibly be expected to handle school in a

330
00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:04.599
day like this? Yeah? Right? Who didn't think about that in the

331
00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:08.440
eighties? Because you got to remember, boys, back in the eighties,

332
00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:11.799
we can go to a mall get
lost. We can go to on our

333
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:18.440
cage crew. We could find a
movie theater that's showing a movie. Nobody

334
00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:22.119
would look for us. True in
the eighties unless you ran into a security

335
00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:25.799
guard like we did one time ran
a cops. Please you give them ten

336
00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:27.519
bucks, tell them to buy a
hot dog on a stick, and they're

337
00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:33.799
gone. Now, how many ditching
events did you guys go with each other?

338
00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:41.640
And what was one of the most
favorite ditching extravaganzas that you both went

339
00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:45.119
on? Because after that, I'll
give you mine. Come on, let's

340
00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:49.200
you can't for you stuff. What
was the most memorable for you? I

341
00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:53.039
can tell you mine right away ahead. I'd say that time we went to

342
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:56.400
the to the beach on our bikes
and then we ended up at my aunt's

343
00:28:56.440 --> 00:29:00.000
apartment. Remember she wasn't home.
We went swimming in the pool. The

344
00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:03.480
people or the people on the pool
that we didn't know, we're having a

345
00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:07.759
barbecue. They invited us over,
and we're like, why why would we

346
00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:11.319
go to school? We could have
a day like great food food. How

347
00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:17.759
old were you guys then? But
the thing is how far? How far

348
00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:21.039
was that round trip? Like thirty
miles? Yeah, we'd rather ride it

349
00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:23.359
like thirty miles go to school.
Yeah. And by the way, Mark

350
00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:26.200
fell off of his bike in the
middle of the Beach Boulevard on the street.

351
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:30.960
So I was riding ahead of him, and all of a sudden,

352
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:33.920
I hear this big crash behind us, and I knew what had happened because

353
00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:38.000
I saw it. Remember, back
in the eighties, very popular was to

354
00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:42.279
have some drains on the street.
They look like grills, and the front

355
00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:45.240
tire of the bike, if it
was too thin, it's going inside that

356
00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:49.119
grill, inside that draining. And
that's exactly what happened. And because we

357
00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:52.000
were going so fast down the street, he didn't catch it on time,

358
00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:56.000
and he flipped right over the handlebars
my imitation of Superman, right over the

359
00:29:56.039 --> 00:30:00.279
handlebars yeah, yep, okay,
right. In nineteen eighty seven, I

360
00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:03.799
became a parent, you know,
I had my first kid. No.

361
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:10.119
In nineteen eighty five, my best
friend was killed on a motorcycle accident and

362
00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:15.799
I was the last individual to confront
him, argue with him and see him

363
00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:21.920
before he perished. And it was
all negative. Me and him have harsh

364
00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:25.559
words. And I gotta tell you, I'll testify. The girl he had

365
00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:33.680
on the back of his uh Kawasaki
GPC. She was freaking hot and uh

366
00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:40.279
you know he no, he got
her home and he was on his way

367
00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:44.440
back to our area when he was
killed. But now now trip on of

368
00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:51.519
this, he was inebriated on his
Kawasaki GP Back then, you guys remember

369
00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:56.039
in the eighties, he was killed
on Beverly Boulevard where you turn that twine,

370
00:30:56.160 --> 00:31:00.759
you know what I mean, before
you get Lee Whittier in to He

371
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:06.920
was drunk and he was killed by
a woman in a van who also was

372
00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:12.200
in Nebria back then with both you
know, both alcohol. But in the

373
00:31:12.279 --> 00:31:18.720
eighties, I think a lot of
us became unaware and aware at the same

374
00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:22.799
time of what life really was.
I think a lot of us because of

375
00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:30.039
our youth kind of shined upon the
devastating factors of life, death, divorced

376
00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:37.359
abuse, bowling, and we kind
of sunk into our regular, everyday life

377
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:41.839
to where, you know, we
were just comfortable being us. But yet

378
00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:48.960
the casualties of that decade that we
now do see were not as significant to

379
00:31:49.079 --> 00:31:55.839
some of us as they were to
some of us that were older. How

380
00:31:55.920 --> 00:32:02.079
do you guys think some of the
casualties, devastating things and factors that we

381
00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:10.920
saw can kind of coincide or do
you think they're worse nowadays to what we

382
00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:17.880
saw and how we dealt with I
think I feel like people are softer now,

383
00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:23.319
Like I think we could deal with
things better. We had tougher skin

384
00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:29.200
back then. I think today's kids
are a little softer. They're more isolated

385
00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:32.279
and sheltered. The kids I know
don't even go outside and play anymore.

386
00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:37.400
You know, I think what we
went through, if a kid went through

387
00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:39.519
that today, I think he would
crumble. To tell you the truth,

388
00:32:40.559 --> 00:32:45.920
Yeah, I mean there's so much
softer, and we were watching every word

389
00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:49.880
we say. Now no one can
say anything. It's just we were much

390
00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:55.640
tougher back then. My mom passed
away right before I met Mario and I

391
00:32:55.720 --> 00:33:00.759
remember me. I remember meet Mario
Los Nagels junior high. We were both

392
00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:05.119
leaning back in our seat and we
could kind of looked at each other and

393
00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:07.119
I had I'm like, who's this
duche looking at me? You know what

394
00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:13.000
I mean, what are you looking
at buddy? And you know, he

395
00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:16.799
came into my life at a time
like like God sent in him because he

396
00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:22.279
became my best friend. I felt
like because I had a really tough childhood

397
00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:25.079
where I had to grow up quick. But my time with Mario, I

398
00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:30.039
was a kid again. I was
I was having fun, and I know

399
00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:34.440
Mario was going through his own his
own you know, personal problems with his

400
00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:37.680
parents and dealing with his saying.
So I really think that we met each

401
00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:42.039
other like at the right time.
Man, this man means a lot to

402
00:33:42.119 --> 00:33:44.759
me. I don't mean to make
you cry and make myself cry, but

403
00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:51.599
yeah, yeah, this he this
man means a lot to me. I

404
00:33:51.599 --> 00:33:54.559
feel like he saved my childhood,
you know, made me feel like a

405
00:33:54.680 --> 00:33:59.440
kid again, like I didn't have
to like grow up so quick. Man.

406
00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:02.240
We had a great time, great
times. Thank you. Yeah,

407
00:34:02.640 --> 00:34:08.119
I appreciate same here. Well,
I mean, I feel it's it's reciprocal

408
00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:13.440
because you know, I come from
a divorced family, you know, a

409
00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:15.960
divorce mom and dad. I'm an
only child. I didn't have brothers or

410
00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:22.719
sisters. You know, I come
from a single mom that at that time

411
00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:25.360
I had gone to so many schools
it wasn't even funny. When I went

412
00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:30.320
to Los Nietos, I had already
gone through I think two or three different

413
00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:36.400
junior highs and this was only the
seventh grade. Where a normal life for

414
00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:40.960
a kid should be to go to
the same school all through those three years

415
00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:45.440
of junior high than the four years
of high school. But I didn't.

416
00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:47.800
I didn't have that luxury, so
and and and you didn't either, you

417
00:34:47.840 --> 00:34:51.960
know, you you went through a
lot in chang I know that's that's with

418
00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:54.000
us as well, and a lot
of people that are listening. And so

419
00:34:54.239 --> 00:35:00.320
when I met Mark, we had
so many things in common in spite of

420
00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:05.800
our the difference of the way we
were raised and the different families. But

421
00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:07.280
at the same time, we had
a lot of things in common. You

422
00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:13.000
know, we had the Hispanic heritage
behind us, we had the same likes

423
00:35:13.039 --> 00:35:16.639
and at some of the stuff that
we disagreed on with music and things like

424
00:35:16.679 --> 00:35:20.480
that, but we had a lot
of stuff, the majority of stuff that

425
00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:23.440
we always agreed on, and we
were all We were always there to back

426
00:35:23.960 --> 00:35:30.079
each other up, and that was
so important. And it because I grew

427
00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:35.000
up without brothers, Mark became that
brother to me. Man. I don't

428
00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:37.719
want to get emotional. I don't
want to bring this show down, but

429
00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:43.559
man, you guys have just displayed
exactly what I felt for a friend of

430
00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:51.400
mine that passed away in nineteen eighty
five, and the significance of friendship and

431
00:35:51.440 --> 00:35:55.079
what that friendship brought to you,
and that strength that friendship brought to you.

432
00:35:55.159 --> 00:36:00.480
But not only that, but I'll
go out and say this, during

433
00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:06.440
my years of growing and finding out
who I was, I drifted to a

434
00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:12.719
certain type of individuals to high school
that I met on right when I left

435
00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:19.039
Saint Benedict's. When I enrolled in
Montabau High School from Catholic school, I

436
00:36:19.119 --> 00:36:22.320
decided I would not be that guy
that was in that school and I would

437
00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:28.000
be something else. So when I
got to high school, I was totally

438
00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:31.920
something that nobody would recognize. You
know, those three months my hair was

439
00:36:32.039 --> 00:36:37.719
grown, I was like heavy metal. What you guys have touched upon.

440
00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:43.559
Hopefully many of our listeners can identify. But I'm sorry I had to take

441
00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:49.400
a time out because the chang never
gets emotional, you know that, But

442
00:36:49.519 --> 00:36:54.119
that brought a lot of emotion because
it's very reminiscent of my good friend Raymie

443
00:36:54.719 --> 00:37:00.559
Randy Barraza. Man, I have
a hard time out. It's understanding how

444
00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:07.719
he passed in nineteen eighty five and
that guy you brought me out of the

445
00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:13.000
demon. That guy was there,
And I understand where you guys are coming

446
00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:19.360
from. What it's like to have
a friend becomes a brother that shares the

447
00:37:19.480 --> 00:37:28.000
same similarities as you do in life, feeling alone, feeling rejected, feeling

448
00:37:28.159 --> 00:37:35.320
ripped off, and when you embark
upon individuals that feel like you. I'm

449
00:37:35.360 --> 00:37:38.800
gonna tell you guys right now,
from a neighborhood sense, that's what brotherhood

450
00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:47.519
and bodio means. When you connect
with somebody emotionally, socially, that brings

451
00:37:47.519 --> 00:37:52.599
a friendship. I'm talking to you, guys and everybody else listening to us.

452
00:37:52.000 --> 00:38:00.480
That creates something that time, money
and just greed cannot take away that

453
00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:07.519
bond, that friendship, that understanding
of both parties or many parties coming from

454
00:38:07.559 --> 00:38:10.840
the same realm. And I speak
upon this. You guys hit me,

455
00:38:13.239 --> 00:38:19.400
man, I felt like I felt
like I got hit in the stomach when

456
00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:22.440
you guys talk and embarked upon that. And I'm sorry to our listeners if

457
00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:28.239
I lost it, But I understand
because my good friend brought that upon me.

458
00:38:28.320 --> 00:38:31.960
And in nineteen eighty five he was
killed. I was the last due

459
00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:38.159
to see him alive. We got
in a physical altercation into him riding his

460
00:38:38.280 --> 00:38:45.599
motorcycle to take this hot chick home
as opposed to stay with me. Let

461
00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:51.840
me drive you and this chick in
my sister's ban away. You can do

462
00:38:51.880 --> 00:38:55.000
whatever you want to do, but
let me get you home safe. He

463
00:38:55.119 --> 00:39:00.159
threw a joint at me, hit
me in the face, cussed me out.

464
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:04.119
I wanted to hit me. He
left. I never saw him again.

465
00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:07.760
He died that day. So what
you guys are telling me, I'm

466
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:14.519
sorry if they hit me in the
face. People nowadays have to understand we

467
00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:20.000
are un borrowed time, my brothers, It is not guaranteed whether we live

468
00:39:20.519 --> 00:39:27.400
tomorrow tonight. But the one true
essence of life is we remain who we

469
00:39:27.480 --> 00:39:32.840
are and re remain tight with those
who made us who we are. And

470
00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:38.199
I'm sitting here and I'm crying like
a sissy, and I'm looking to you

471
00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:45.320
guys, and I'm like, man, you guys are the essence of exactly

472
00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:52.280
what I believe and exactly what I
hope our show reaches to all those people

473
00:39:52.320 --> 00:40:00.519
tonight. Never look for tomorrow to
rectify a day. Appreciate what you have

474
00:40:00.679 --> 00:40:05.280
today, love who you have in
the past and today. You know I'm

475
00:40:05.320 --> 00:40:09.880
speaking a little bit. What he
was talking about is I'll talk tomorrow earlier

476
00:40:09.920 --> 00:40:16.840
today. Like you have people you
love, people that you don't see for

477
00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:20.679
a long time. I haven't seen
Mario for very long, like years go

478
00:40:20.800 --> 00:40:23.320
by, and I told him,
you know what, I'm not gonna be

479
00:40:23.360 --> 00:40:27.159
like, oh, we'll see each
other someday, we'll hang out. No,

480
00:40:27.320 --> 00:40:29.559
Like I want to tell the listeners, if you have a loved one

481
00:40:29.559 --> 00:40:31.400
you haven't see, like, reach
out, go visit them, spend time

482
00:40:31.400 --> 00:40:35.119
with them, because like you said, we're on borrow time. Go see

483
00:40:35.159 --> 00:40:37.159
them and have fun with them,
and make talk about your memories, make

484
00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:42.000
new memories. Do it, Go
and do it. No more excuses.

485
00:40:42.079 --> 00:40:45.480
Just go out and do it and
be with the love the people you love,

486
00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:50.079
people from your past that changed you, that helped you go and go

487
00:40:50.119 --> 00:40:53.800
and do that. That's that's my
my little final thought to the listeners here

488
00:40:53.559 --> 00:41:00.400
and everyone. We appreciate a brother
and my thoughts and sentiments are exactly the

489
00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:04.400
same. And I join you guys
in that. Definitely. I've learned one

490
00:41:04.440 --> 00:41:07.880
thing from my wife throughout these many
years, and she's always telling me,

491
00:41:08.320 --> 00:41:14.599
live for today, live for today, and make it the best day you

492
00:41:14.840 --> 00:41:19.760
have ever had, because tomorrow you
just don't know. So love the ones

493
00:41:19.800 --> 00:41:23.800
who you're with and tonight with you
two fine gentlemen, and I love you

494
00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:29.559
guys. And if you're listening and
you haven't spoken to your friends, maybe

495
00:41:29.599 --> 00:41:34.519
somebody in the past you love or
or or a family member that you lost

496
00:41:34.559 --> 00:41:38.840
touch, we want to encourage you
tonight to make that change and to reach

497
00:41:38.880 --> 00:41:43.199
out. Sometimes it's hard for them
to reach out to you. You reach

498
00:41:43.199 --> 00:41:45.599
out to them if possible. And
in the meantime, Chang, thank you

499
00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:52.480

expressing your passion and your feelings. And

time to take a flight out to

me and to spend time and hopefully we

503

504
