over the barrio. I've been all over

35
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:10.879

00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:15.039
as I've gone North Long Beach.
But that's pretty Dagos City right there.

37

Oh, I'll bet, I say, I bet you don't like going out

the way you look, you you kind

39
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:23.520
of look like a like a loaf
of white bread. Ay Webbers. I

40
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:25.199
don't know, bro, but I'll
tell you why. I was in Huntington

41
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:28.520
Beach one time. Bro. I
got stuck on the bus out there.

42
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:30.000
Bro. You know, I was
trying to get my g D. I

43
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:35.319
just got out. I was parole
maybe three months and freaking bus they left

44
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:37.960
me there, and you know,
I try to call a taxi in and

45
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:40.759
they got scared because I was like
jumping up and down in the street waving

46
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:44.120
them down. I'm like wet there, fell out of my out of my

47
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:49.520
hip man and m man, it's
the messa. Do you have fireworks?

48
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:53.039
Is that where you were carrying me? No? No, Bro, excuse

49
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:58.840

51
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:07.039
illegal firearm. Well, don't put
doors to my mouth. Say hey,

we don't condone or promote the use
of illegal firearms. So you know what,

55
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:23.240
Bro, probably can't even talk about
that on the air from the radio

56
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.240

Bro, and I already gotta take three

58
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:32.599
Bro. He couldn't believed what I
was telling and he thought, I

59
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:36.479
you know, he thought maybe I
did some really good smack and I was

60
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.080
like floating in the air. But
I told him, now, Bro,

61
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:42.599

we're playing a good music game, going

135
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.080
Benedict's back in Montebello. You know
who you are, Go Bruins. This

136
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:48.200
is back to the eighties and today
we're going to continue on part two of

137
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:54.879
nineteen eighty five, the revisit.
You know, last week we were able

138
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.600
to talk about some of the music
and some of those small things that made

139
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:03.840
the eighties, in this particular nineteen
eighty five so great. It was one

140
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:07.399
of the greater years for music.
We touched on that, but believe it

141
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:11.840
or not, did you know if
we step aside for a second and we

142
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:15.320
talked about some of the other things
that went on for example, did you

143
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:18.519
know that it was here that the
Titanic was found? Did you know that?

144
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:24.240
Yes? I didn't. Isn't that
something man, The Titanic was finally

145
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:28.440
found. You know, here's a
ship that I think many of us thought

146
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:33.600
that nobody was ever going to dive
into the ocean to find it or even

147
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.720
located. You know, it was
speculated where it was at. But I'll

148
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.759
tell you when I was up in
Missouri, Branson as a matter of fact,

149
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:45.360
to visit our eldest daughter who resides
out there. Now, we went

150
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:52.080
to the of the Titanic. Oh, yes we did. We actually felt

151
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:58.879
one a piece of the hull of
the ship that was submerged under water.

152
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:03.080
A lot of artifacts they had.
I will tell you now the story is

153
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:09.799
on this Titanic museum there in Branson, Missouri. They say it's haunted in

154
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.960
the music room. And I will
tell you that when me and Missus Chang

155
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:18.120
were in there with our kids,
it was extremely cold, and we were

156
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:22.600
under the impression that they were doing
that to give you the simulation of what

157
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:26.720
it was like to be outside on
the Titanic getting smashed before it hit the

158
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:30.919
iceberg. And well, you know, well were you wearing pants, because

159
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.720
you know I always anywhere pants.
Now, as a matter of fact,

160
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:39.960
I was wearing pants and my wife
was wearing the fabulous eighties lady attire of

161
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:46.159
pedal push pants. But he felt
the cold a bit before me. But

162
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:50.480
it was funny because one part of
the room was very cold, colder than

163
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:54.720
the rest of it. And later
on this documentary that we watched back in

164
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.759
our where we were staying, that
area that we all felt a little bit

165
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:05.759
older was a designated area where they
had supposed some type of a ghost feel

166
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:09.799
there. So put that in your
cap and sail away, Captain Nice.

167
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:11.759
Well, you know what we've got
to do one of these days is talk

168
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:18.240
about eighties hauntings or eighties you know, the best of eighties ghost stories,

169
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:20.679
because I think that that would be
a great topic, be very interesting for

170
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:24.080
a lot of people. But some
of the news stories that happened in nineteen

171
00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:26.879
eighty five that were a kind of
major And I'm not talking about the Coca

172
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:31.000
Cola company coming up with new coke
because we talked about that. It was

173
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:35.799
your favorite cop right right. It
was crap, Like I stated last week,

174
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:41.200
happened here in the United States.
Remember the unibomber. He killed the

175
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:45.720
first victim in nineteen eighty five.
You know what to remember, everybody was

176
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:48.440
afraid to wear hoodies, and anybody
that was wearing a hoodie and sunglasses kind

177
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:52.519
of got checked out by everybody around. Yeah, and you remember that drawing

178
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:56.519
that they showed in every news commentary, and they showed kind of look like

179
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.519
renditions. The rendition kind of looked
a little bit like Tom Salik with sunglasses

180
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:05.559
and a hoodie. You know what
I mean? That very distinguishable mustache that

181
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:11.240
the Uni bomber was sporting, of
the something you would see in a barbershop

182
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:15.440
quartet. Ye. Also in nineteen
eighty five, from those for those people

183
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:20.600
that live in Mexico, especially in
Mexico City, the greatest earthquake that killed

184
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:24.600
over nine thousand people occurred in nineteen
eighty five. Green Peace, the ship

185
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:30.039
the Rainbow Warrior was sunk by French
agents. You know that's funny. There's

186
00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:33.519
a movement green Peace. Do you
want to hear something very funny? At

187
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:37.240
one you were a green Peace organizer
time, I was very as I am

188
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:41.679
now fed up with politics. I
don't choose a side. They're both jackass

189
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:45.639
sides. If you ask me.
I changed my party and I did join

190
00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:50.080
the Green Peace and I was harassed
by the government, so I was boor

191
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.399
twenty you know, so I went
every day. Oh yeah, man,

192
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:56.279
And I'll tell you it was something, man, because you know, we

193
00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:00.879
would go to these meetings and get
their legislatures Green Peace, you know what

194
00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:03.240
I mean. And it was like, you know, heavy duty kind of

195
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:07.159
hippie kind of movement. But all
in all, they had some very good

196
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:11.440
points. I think if maybe we
would have had a serious candidate stand up

197
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:18.159
and give us some recognition, maybe
maybe we would see things differently in the

198
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:20.799
races that we do have with the
two parties. I mean, who knows,

199
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:24.600
how do we know Bernie Sanders wasn't
a Greenpeace number. I thought,

200
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:28.480
you're gonna say a grinch. As
the spread of AIDS increased, governments around

201
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:33.600
the world started screening blood donations for
AIDS and we talked a little bit about

202
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:37.320
the AIDS epidemic. On technology.
On the technology front, the first dot

203
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:41.519
com was registered. This is nineteen
eighty five. Let me ask you something.

204
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:45.159
In nineteen eighty five, none of
us knew what the internet was.

205
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:48.519
Did you know that the first dot
com was registered? No? My brother.

206
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:54.159
I had no idea. It was
the first version of Windows that was

207
00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:56.879
released. It was version one point. Oh, and I don't really know

208
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:01.960
what that had to do with a
dot com. Maybe it was Windows dot

209
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:05.000
com, I'm not really sure.
But alongside of that, terrorists continued to

210
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:09.960
perform acts of terrorism, including hijacking
of TWA Flight eight forty seven and the

211
00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:16.360
Italian cruise liner the Achille Lauo.
I remember I'm a little kid at that

212
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:20.600
time, and I remember hearing all
these newscasters talk about the Achille Laaro and

213
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:26.720
about Flight eight forty seven, and
those were big, big news events that

214
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:33.039
happened in nineteen eighty five. Oh
yeah, I recall everything you're saying because

215
00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:35.519
it was I was twenty years old, so you know, I was already

216
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:41.519
becoming I was already in tune with
what was going on outside of our country

217
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:43.279
because it really didn't matter to me. You know, one day I thought

218
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:46.440
I'd have children, one day I
will be older. I have to pay

219
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:50.240
attention to this stuff so that I
could make sure Mother Earth is here for

220
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:54.960
the next thousand decades or what have
you, in my lifetime. So that

221
00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:00.759
was a very particular situation. My
friend I think that had everybody up in

222
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:06.279
arms. Everybody was afraid at that
time, very similar to the way that

223
00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:10.759
we've kind of been living recently here
in America. You know, just a

224
00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:15.080
lot of the bad vibe, you
know, crossing people worrying about terrorism,

225
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:21.519
you know, and the magnitude back
then was not as catastrophic as we've had

226
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:26.080
in the last couple of decades,
but definitely it was the stirring pot I

227
00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:30.679
think for the issues that we do
suffer now or that we have suffered in

228
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:33.320
the last couple of decades, would
you not agree? And one of the

229
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:38.080
things that has well kept us from
losing our minds back then, even for

230
00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:41.000
the younger crowd, was the fact
that we didn't have the internet, right,

231
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:45.720
We didn't have news from all over
the world, We didn't have the

232
00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:48.559
tweets from people all over the world, so we really only could rely on

233
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:53.519
what your regular news channels would tell
you, or the radio, or if

234
00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:57.200
you had cable CNN. At that
time. In that regard, it was

235
00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:02.159
you know, it was kind of
good that we weren't really as in touch

236
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:04.720
with the rest of the world.
Talking about average cost of new homes back

237
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:07.680
then, it was eighty nine thousand, three hundred and thirty to buy a

238
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:11.160
house. Now, you couldn't even
get a house if that was your down

239
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:17.000
payment here, especially here in southern
California. That's rent. Yeah for one

240
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:19.160
year. Yeah, I'll tell you, man, don't you wish we can

241
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:22.400
go back to the eighties for for
certain reasons? That would be one of

242
00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:26.079
them. Man, even if even
even where around, even if it was

243
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:30.680
for a gallon of gas at a
dollar nine or a movie ticket at two

244
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:36.039
seventy five. Oh man, you
know the price for bacon per pound was

245
00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:45.759
only dollars sixty five. Geez,
it's almost farmer John bacon. And it's

246
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:52.240
really thin. It's an incredible gasoline
now, I mean you have to give

247
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:56.160
your first born just to get a
full tank. As a matter of fact,

248
00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:00.640
where the chang resides somewhere where Sasquatch
was visited, and it is in

249
00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:06.839
the middle of California, right,
We're near big trees and water, That's

250
00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:11.880
all I'll say. But out here, I just paid three fifty nine for

251
00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:15.960
a gallon of gas. Really,
well, that's what it is here in

252
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:18.759
southern California as well. I felt
like yelling at the attendant, I would

253
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:22.000
like dinner and a kiss on the
cheek before you bend me over the hood

254
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:26.240
of the car and ram it to
me for these outrageous gas prices. Sheeez,

255
00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:30.720
if I had a rape whistle,
you would have heard it from where

256
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:33.799
you're sitting. All right, this
is back to the eighties. We're gonna

257
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:34.920
take a quick break. When we
come back, we've got more news from

258
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:40.200
nineteen eighty five. We're gonna be
talking about movies and a lot more madness

259
00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:42.599
here in Tiscano and Chang was back
to the eighties. Ever wish you could

260

That's because we had to list through this

270
00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:45.200
decade. Yet you're listening to Back
to the eighties, all right, welcome

271
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:48.880
back to Back to the eightieses is
tis gone with Chang Chang. Here we're

272
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:52.680
talking about nineteen eighty five. I'm
sure everybody out there has their own memory

273
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:57.079
and of good times, bad times, maybe some some type of special music

274
00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:03.400
or a special movie. Tiscanella,
we're talking about some serious events that occurred

275
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:07.640
in nineteen eighty five. Why don't
you go ahead and give us a couple

276
00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:11.240
of more of the more devastating kind
of global news events. I mean,

277
00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:15.960
we wanted in tune with all of
our listeners, not just here in the

278
00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:21.279
States. Yeah. Well, let's
touch on briefly some of the news articles

279
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:26.480
from around the world that occurred there
during nineteen eighty five. But in Spain,

280
00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:30.480
the United Kingdom and Spain agreed to
reopen the border between Gibraltar and Spain,

281
00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:33.759
which was one of the things that
happened over there. In New Zealand,

282
00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:37.599
the Green Peace ship Rainbow Warrior,
which we talked about, was sunk

283
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:44.400
when a French agent planted a bomb
on the hull, killing photographer Fernander Breida.

284
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:49.079
Now you know what two shocking things. Green Peace had a ship and

285
00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:56.759
France actually did something very and France
had agents. Mean. In ninety five,

286
00:20:56.200 --> 00:21:00.599
Gorbachev became the leader of the Soviet
Union after the death of former leader

287
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:06.079
Constantine Chernenko. You know what I
felt that gorbage shop. I thought he

288
00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:08.400
was a really good leader, you
know what I mean, he was an

289
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:11.799
alright guy. It kind of looked
like he got hit in the head with

290
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:18.039
a fly swatter and left a devastating
mark. Here in the United States,

291
00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:22.920
in October of nineteen eighty five,
the Nintendo Entertainment System otherwise known as the

292
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:30.240
NIAS was released here for the enjoyment
of millions and millions of children. Yeah,

293
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:36.319
the NIAS was originally launched with seventeen
games, including Duck Hunt and Ice

294
00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:41.440
Climber. In Japan, the first
group of Japanese astronauts were selected. This

295
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:45.799
is all part of nineteen eighty five. And here's something that here in the

296
00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:48.960
United States will make a lot of
sense because in May of nineteen eighty five,

297
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:53.559
legendary basketball player Michael Jordan was given
the NBA's Rookie of the Year award.

298
00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:57.599
I hated Michael Jordan. Wasn't tell
me, did you really? Because

299
00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:02.279
oh my gosh, he was my
favorite of all time? O, man,

300
00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:04.119
I gotta give him respect. He
was a great bath. Here we

301
00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:07.079
go, here's Dick Hator coming along. O my god, my god.

302
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:11.519
He wasn't a Los Angeles Laker.
He wasn't. He snub knows. He

303
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:18.039
was a gambler. He's a womanizer. Uh be like Mike where Mike shoes.

304
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:22.680
Uh, Mike plays baseball, Mike
plays basketball. I hate, but

305
00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:26.279
you gotta hand it to him.
He's a businessman now, but back then,

306
00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:30.000
back then, the best there there
has been ever for me. All

307
00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:34.559
right, okay, you're you're yeah, you're you're excused mister with his h

308
00:22:34.839 --> 00:22:38.440
Santa Claus green hat on or whatever
it is, Michael Jordan. I bet

309
00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:44.720
you got some some type of a
brief that were made by Jordan Underwear probably

310
00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:48.599
or something. Oh my god,
you got his poster on the ceiling before

311
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:52.839
you go to sleep, you jump
up off the mattress and kiss it.

312
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:56.799
And then Mally goes, Mario,
what are you gonna take that down here?

313
00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:03.680
Like like Mike honey, be Mike. I'll say two words. Kobe

314
00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:07.240
Bryant. There, that's it.
I'm done. Oh no, I got

315
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:10.319
a hand it to you. Kobe
was great, but there's nobody like Air

316
00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:14.200
Jordan. Anyway, let's continue.
Let's continue because I know you have some

317
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:18.680
music they wanted to talk about that
we didn't touch on last week. Well,

318
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:22.079
you could say the same about the
great Kobe Bryant, the great Magic

319
00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:26.559
Jarson, the great Kareem abdul Jabar, the great Russell. Oh, you

320
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:29.839
can say that about many, but
you can't say the greatest ever or the

321
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:37.680
goat like you can. Anyway,
we digress. I think I think you

322
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:42.359
like Tom Brady. Well, he
does have seven seven rings. Now,

323
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:47.599
yeah, but you know who's got
the most championship rings of all time in

324
00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:53.039
any sport. Who's that? Bill
Walton of the Bots and Celtics with eleven?

325
00:23:53.519 --> 00:24:00.359
Wow? Yeah, An, you
want to know about the NFL before

326
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:03.359
we get into No, I said, I said I'd like to try I'd

327
00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:06.519
like to see him try that in
the NFL. Yeah, I bet you,

328
00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:08.319
I bet you he could. He's
a big man, but he's kind

329
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:15.720
of old now, a little He's
almost Tom Brady's age in Rock and Roll

330
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:23.920
News in nineteen eighty five. Okay, this is one of the top albums

331
00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:30.839
released by the Cult in October on
the eighteenth. This was the second release

332
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:33.000
by that British rock group. And
meybuddy out there, remember the Cult.

333
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:37.359
Now here's a band we talked about
last week, Toscano. Back in May

334
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:42.160
on the twenty six dire Straits Brother
in Arms, which hit the chart at

335
00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:48.799
number one, had four top twenty
songs on that album. Can you believe

336
00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:55.480
that prior to that was their fourth
album studio released by that band. A

337
00:24:55.559 --> 00:25:00.039
lot of people don't realize that.
Yeah, four incredible and they finally hit

338
00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:07.960
with one. Also, the great
trio Rush from Canada created this album.

339
00:25:08.759 --> 00:25:12.880
This was their eleventh album called Power
Windows. I don't know if you remember

340
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:18.079
that. That was a pretty good
album. That was a great band.

341
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:22.400
It's very sad that the band ended
up going the way it did with the

342
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:26.880
death of the legendary greatest drummer in
rock and roll near part our Hearts and

343
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:30.680
Souls out to Neil. Also,
here's one that I'm sure that you already

344
00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:34.279
know, because I know you got
this guy's poster and I know you want

345
00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:40.039
to see him right out on a
tricycle in the movie Saw. That's right.

346
00:25:40.839 --> 00:25:47.480
Hit it on the door by the
Cure, Yes on the twenty six

347
00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:53.799
This was the sixth album released by
Robert Smith and David Allen, other known

348
00:25:53.960 --> 00:25:57.920
as the Sawboys. You know they
were you know, they were inducted finally

349
00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:03.039
in twenty nineteen into the Music Hall
of Fame, the Rocket of Fame.

350
00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:08.200
And I think probably the judges were
a knee rated on some type of a

351
00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:14.920
drug, alcohol or stupidity there.
I said it. You're right, it

352
00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:18.359
was stupidity because it took him so
many years to recognize the true talent.

353
00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:23.200
I've got a band greater than that. I'll say three letters. R E

354
00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:29.640
M. Came out with Fables of
Reconstruction. That was their third album,

355
00:26:29.759 --> 00:26:34.400
recorded and released on the tenth of
June. R E M a way better

356
00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:41.359
band than the Cure. Well,
okay, anyway, I'll give you one

357
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:45.480
more and then we'll carry on,
and then I'll come up with a few

358
00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:49.720
more later on into the program,
just to keep people wondering. Sure,

359
00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:53.720
how come he didn't mention this album? And I'll have to come and say,

360
00:26:53.759 --> 00:26:57.680
because it sucked, that's why I
didn't mention Okay, we got one

361
00:26:57.759 --> 00:27:03.680
more album. Go ahead this that's
right, the ninth release from this band

362
00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:07.799
out of Australia. That's right,
their home in Australia. Actually this was

363
00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:12.880
their tenth album release, but at
the time this was their ninth in the

364
00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:18.920
States. They had done ten in
their hometown of Australia. Everybody's favorite greatest

365
00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:25.240
hard rock band ac DC. The
band with two different lead singers, created

366
00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:29.880
two different types of sound coming out
of that band. You know what scene

367
00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:32.440
that you don't believe. I'm gonna
give you one more fun fact. Do

368
00:27:32.599 --> 00:27:37.400
this please. The legendary Los Angeles
band Motley Crue came out with Theater of

369
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:41.079
Pain and that came out in June
twenty first, and that was their third

370
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:47.480
studio album. Let me guess they
were from Australia. Oh my friend,

371
00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:51.599
are you? Are you drinking the
smartass juice tonight? Come on? Everybody

372
00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:56.119
knows they were a wham band,
glam band right there in beautiful southern California.

373
00:27:56.160 --> 00:28:00.079
How he would go up Fornia?
Motley Crew. I prefer to call

374
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:06.599
them Moldy Crew because after their first
two albums they became Moldy wait a second,

375
00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:10.400
so that means do you like Home, Sweet Home, I like being

376
00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:11.960
home. I do sing that song
to myself, but no, I do

377
00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:15.519
not like Oh I do not care
for that album The Theater of Pain.

378
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:19.240
I've got my reasons. Did you
did you get into a fight with Vince

379
00:28:19.319 --> 00:28:23.880
Neil? You know what, if
I would have ever had the happy pleasure

380
00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:27.440
of meeting Vince Neil, I would
have liked to probably have smacked him upside

381
00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:30.039
of his head for drinking and driving. But yeah, I probably would have

382
00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:33.319
challenged him. I would have said, go to the bar, you better

383
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:36.559
have a couple more drinks and get
some liquid. Nads to come and take

384
00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:38.680
the chang on here. Listen,
he took back to the eighties we've been

385
00:28:38.680 --> 00:28:42.240
talking about in nineteen eighty five briefly. In Chang has been schooling me on

386
00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:48.519
a CDC one of my favorite favorite
bands. And it's incredible because I seriously

387
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:55.559
did not know that the entire band
was from Australia, let alone Brian Johnson,

388
00:28:55.599 --> 00:28:59.359
which I who lives in England.
I really thought he was English.

389
00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:02.240
Wait a second, now, I
don't even know if he lives in England.

390
00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:04.440
He probably lives in Australia. Yeah, you never know. He might

391
00:29:04.519 --> 00:29:11.319
have a couple of dingles. You're
number one for classic. We're you're listening.

392
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:15.279
You're listening to back to the eighties
in the nineteen eighties, are now

393
00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:18.839
calling then, ask for their foreign
policy back. You gotta help us.

394
00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:26.119
We're stuck in the eighties. Now
it's turned for the movies. Movies and

395
00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:33.039
those visual pictures that made us smile, made us cry, made us shake

396
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:38.119
in fear. But some of those
films from nineteen eighty five were also some

397
00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:44.000
of the greatest films that Hollywood has
ever produced. True, and I gotta

398
00:29:44.079 --> 00:29:48.599
tell you the number one grossing film, and I don't mean gross as in

399
00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:52.359
disgusting, I mean grossing for bringing
in the most money at one hundred and

400
00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:59.799
ninety three million dollars, was the
movie with Michael J. Fox in Back

401
00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:04.160
to the Future One Minute into the
Future. To be exact, that precisely

402
00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:08.720
one one am and zero sentence.
We saw Cat up with his private sing,

403
00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:18.359
wait a minute, why am I
doc? Are you telling me that

404
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:25.359
you built a time machine? Kind
of a DeLorean? That was a good

405
00:30:25.480 --> 00:30:29.480
movie that was filmed. I believe
parts of it were at the Leap Wint

406
00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:34.319
and mall Yep and everyone. They
used that classic John DeLorean automobile of the

407
00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:38.920
DeLorean. Yeah, and every so
often they have a get together there because

408
00:30:38.960 --> 00:30:44.000
of the movie, and I always
miss it. Did you know the secret

409
00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:48.240
ingredient? Why is it DeLorean car
flew like that in the movie. Well,

410
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:52.039
wasn't it because of Don Delorian had
dropped some of his cocaine out of

411
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:55.359
his vial and the car just had
to get up and go. So they

412
00:30:55.400 --> 00:30:57.039
thought, well, you know,
that's going to make a great movie.

413
00:30:57.640 --> 00:31:02.599
It wasn't the plutonium. So if
you own a de Lorean and you wanted

414
00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:07.880
to fly, sprinkle some cocaine on
the tires and it'll fly away. I'll

415
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:11.759
movie that raaked in one hundred and
fifty million dollars. That same year was

416
00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:18.279
Rambo First Blood Part two with none
other than the sly Man himself, Sylvester

417
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:22.960
Stallone Ramble. I don't make the
orders. I'd take them just like you.

418
00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:30.480
I swear to God. I didn't
know what it was supposed to happen,

419
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:49.279
like this was just supposed to be
another assignment accomplished. You know there's

420
00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:57.920
more men out there. You know
where they are. Find them. I'll

421
00:31:57.960 --> 00:32:01.880
find you now, Scannell. You
have to tell me did you ever grease

422
00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:07.400
your upper body and put a little
bit of gel to wave your curly black

423
00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:08.880
hair to try to look like all
right, I want to tell you something,

424
00:32:09.200 --> 00:32:12.880
and this is all in honesty.
And when I find this picture,

425
00:32:13.039 --> 00:32:16.920
it's an it's I want to say. It's a poster size picture that I

426
00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:23.720
got taken at Universal Studios and you
looked up with They had that poster picture

427
00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:28.720
of stallone and Rambo with a band
on his head, you know, the

428
00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:32.680
mullet and no shirt of course,
and they overlaid my face on his face.

429
00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:39.480
I can't wait to find it because
I'm going to post it because yeah,

430
00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:44.079
I did that. However, did
you ever go up to the ladies

431
00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:46.960
and go you do foos blood food? No? No, I never did

432
00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:50.880
that. Never did that, but
I didn't want to look like though.

433
00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:55.359
You know, every now and then, I'd like to take you back to

434
00:32:55.480 --> 00:32:59.000
my place. You can beat my
brother, little Pollie, all right.

435
00:32:59.039 --> 00:33:02.519
So we're talking about nineteen eighty five, at one hundred and fifty one hundred

436
00:33:02.519 --> 00:33:10.279
and five million dollars Rocky four,
there was a special cameo appearance by a

437
00:33:10.440 --> 00:33:29.119
very famous singer when Apollo Creed is
about to fight Ivan Dragola. Who could

438
00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:34.599
forget talking about cocaine people, James
Brown, I mean the eighties, my

439
00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:40.759
brother. I think cocaine went hand
in hand with the fame back in the

440
00:33:40.920 --> 00:33:45.599
eighties. Whoever became famous in the
eighties, you know, you have to

441
00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:49.960
join the union sag and after well
in the eighties, I heard that they

442
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:52.599
gave you the little card and a
little vial with white powder. Yeah.

443
00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:55.680
I think their slogan was after a
side with this, you can go do

444
00:33:55.839 --> 00:34:01.440
some cocaine and get famous and bringing
in a hund is thirty million dollars that

445
00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:07.599
same year. This was one of
the movies that Eddie Murphy exploded with in

446
00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:13.280
popularity in fame, and that was
Beverly Hills Cop. And my favorite scene

447
00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:19.880
how Beverly Hills Cop was when he
enters the art gallery with Serge. I'm

448
00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:22.039
fine, my name is Sale and
now how can I hype you? Um?

449
00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:28.079
Yeah, I'm looking for missus.
Jenny Summers started busy to life.

450
00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:34.360
Maybe you're giving on nam My name's
axel Foli and what it's pertaining. I

451
00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:38.559
didn't understand what you said pertaining,
what it's meaning regarding? Oh, what's

452
00:34:38.599 --> 00:34:44.719
it regarding? I'm an old acquaintance
of hers. Don't I one mo month?

453
00:34:46.679 --> 00:34:51.360
The only running tell me Summers that
mister Ahmed Folly is here to see

454
00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:58.039
Axelfoli axel ahm ah well axel al
he's here to see her? Is all

455
00:34:58.079 --> 00:35:00.880
a quints don't need this. It's
kind of sound. It's much a race

456
00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:07.719
that a dog to scrub for the
customer. It's not sexy. It's after

457
00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:14.679
samthing to drink wine a hocktile espresso. No, I'm fine, thank you.

458
00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:16.360
Make it to myself right back there
with a little lemon twist. It's

459
00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:21.639
good strike. No, I'm fine, I see you. Look at the

460
00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:24.239
space. Yeah, I was wondering
how much something like this went for one

461
00:35:24.360 --> 00:35:28.159
hundred and thirty thousand dollars. Get
the fuck out of here, No,

462
00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:31.239
I cannot. It's serious because it's
very important space. Have you ever saw

463
00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:36.159
one of the so yesterday to a
collector, get the fuck out somebody else,

464
00:35:36.159 --> 00:35:39.679
I said it myself back fully,
what on earth are you doing here?

465
00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:46.880
That movie was hilarious anything I think
Eddie Murphy touched in the eighties post

466
00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:51.840
Saturday Night Why with just Gold.
I mean, he was in everything Coming

467
00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:57.480
to America. I remember when he
did, remember back in the unities when

468
00:35:57.519 --> 00:36:01.000
he did Doctor Doolittle. Incredible.
He's got that newer movie that he just

469
00:36:01.159 --> 00:36:06.480
did a couple of years back,
Dolommit. Eddie Murphy had talent, you

470
00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:10.119
know, in his own right.
Coming in at seventy six million dollars was

471
00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:17.480
another movie that kind of broke grounds
here because the theme of the movie had

472
00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:23.920
to do with an older audience,
all senior citizens, and the movie and

473
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:29.920
this movie was loved by the younger
audience, especially by little kids, because

474
00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:37.840
it had to do with aliens arriving
to Earth and at the senior citizen community

475
00:36:38.320 --> 00:36:42.519
they get discovered. And for those
of you who don't know what the film

476
00:36:42.639 --> 00:36:51.199
was called, it was called Cocoon
From the fullest corner of the distant Galaxy

477
00:36:52.199 --> 00:36:57.719
and the deepest feelings of the human
soul comes in fantasy to fill your heart.

478
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:07.559
You're tremendous, are ready to take
all the world. It is everything

479
00:37:07.679 --> 00:37:12.000
you've dreamed of, It is nothing
you expect. Oh, I keep a

480
00:37:12.039 --> 00:37:14.639
secret. I won't tell anybody.
It's hard to know who to trust.

481
00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:22.280
It is the mystery of an awesome
secret. It is the miracle of everlasting

482
00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:27.159
life. We'll never be sick.
We won't get any older, and we

483
00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:32.719
won't ever die beyond the innocence of
you, and the wisdom of age lies

484
00:37:32.800 --> 00:37:50.039
the wonder of Cocoon. Twentieth Century
Fox presents from new film from the producers

485
00:37:50.079 --> 00:37:57.079
of Jaws and the director of Splash, Cocoon. That was a really good

486
00:37:57.159 --> 00:38:00.519
movie. It did have a kind
of a a touch and a feel of,

487
00:38:01.480 --> 00:38:07.159
you know, something scientific that could
have occurred, had that kind of

488
00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:10.440
weird vibe into it. But it
also kind of gave you a glimpse into

489
00:38:10.559 --> 00:38:15.039
mortality, you know what I mean. It was fantastic. Look at it

490
00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:19.400
with a smile as opposed to being
afraid of it. Yeah, and you

491
00:38:19.519 --> 00:38:22.880
got a little bit, you got
a little bit sad because of some of

492
00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:27.280
the things that happened. And especially
the majority of eighties fans have seen this

493
00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:31.599
movie, and we know that the
aliens offered an opportunity to all the senior

494
00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:36.199
citizens that were at this place to
go with them and they would live immortal

495
00:38:36.400 --> 00:38:39.639
and you know, they wouldn't age
anymore. Basically, it would be heaven

496
00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:43.719
where they were going, you know, basically, And they decided to go,

497
00:38:43.920 --> 00:38:45.679
and one of the couples, the
older ladies, she wanted to go.

498
00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:50.519
The husband did not because he just
didn't want to go and changed his

499
00:38:50.599 --> 00:38:53.199
mind at the end when the wife
died, and that was a pretty sad

500
00:38:53.320 --> 00:38:57.280
part of the movie. That was
probably the saddest part of that movie.

501
00:38:57.760 --> 00:39:00.320
It was great because at the end
you know that they do get to they

502
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:05.920
do get to go to space with
the aliens. Bringing in sixty one million

503
00:39:05.960 --> 00:39:10.599
dollars in nineteen eighty five was a
movie of young kids discovering a treasure map.

504
00:39:10.920 --> 00:39:20.719
And that movie was The jerkl No, It's chump. I just saw

505
00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:23.840
most amazing thing of my entire life. First, you gotta do the trump

506
00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:30.440
with shuffle. Come on, do
it, Come on, do it?

507
00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:43.199
Did you see this man? Yeah, I saw this movie. I saw

508
00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:45.719
that movie plenty of times. I
remember, I have the children that are

509
00:39:45.800 --> 00:39:49.840
now young adult. I watched that
movie a few times. Movies. It

510
00:39:49.960 --> 00:39:52.079
was a pretty cool movie to dooney, You know, I could probably sit

511
00:39:52.119 --> 00:39:55.920
there and I've even watched it with
my grandchildren. I'm sure you watched that

512
00:39:57.039 --> 00:40:00.239
movie with your sons, have you
not? All the time? All the

513
00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:02.000
time. It's one of my favorite
movies. I still watch it once in

514
00:40:02.079 --> 00:40:06.119
a while if it's on I won't
change the channel. I'll leave it on

515
00:40:06.360 --> 00:40:09.519
it just as uh so much.
It's filled with hope, it's filled with

516
00:40:09.639 --> 00:40:15.400
happiness, it's filled with really it's
just clean fun. What a great movie.

517
00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:20.440
What a great cat like the satellog
Yeah, yeah, what a great

518
00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:23.000
cast. Another one of the movies
that came in. This is a sequel

519
00:40:23.280 --> 00:40:31.960
to Police Academy. This is called
Police Academy to their first assignment. Locked

520
00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:39.519
your doors, activate the dog,
stand up the man, stretch the wire

521
00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:45.280
because they've taken to the streets.
They are the graduates of Police Academy,

522
00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:52.199
burned bloo on their first You gotta
filled a trust between you with the people

523
00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:58.920
and they'll respect you. They're armed, he look I'm saying, and they're

524
00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:02.800
dangerous. Mahoney. You have the
right to sing the blues. You have

525
00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:07.840
the right to cable TV. It's
a nice piece. Tackleberry. I was

526
00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:12.559
a friend to your side. Arm
high Tower, Yo yo yo, Sir

527
00:41:14.639 --> 00:41:24.519
Jones, Hook Beach, Captain Lazard, coming down, Lazard. I'm the

528
00:41:24.639 --> 00:41:30.280
lovable Lieutenant Mouser. It's captain.
Last year they were in training, time

529
00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:39.079
to deploy for school. You're ready
now, mister. This year they're in

530
00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:45.119
charge. Holice Academy, They're first
assignment. Those are always great movies.

531
00:41:45.159 --> 00:41:49.360
Bubble Like, there has to be
a point after part two where it starts

532
00:41:49.400 --> 00:41:52.800
to becoming okay, Like, okay, I've seen enough stupidity. After two,

533
00:41:53.119 --> 00:41:54.960
I was kind of done with it, you know what I mean.

534
00:41:55.239 --> 00:42:00.239
It got a little bit to anal
redundant the more that they did care carried

535
00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:04.599
on. It was kind of the
same old slapstick you know, slapping the

536
00:42:04.719 --> 00:42:07.280
jaw type of comedy, and you
could only go through that so many times

537
00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:12.639
and only so many scenarios before it
gets Man, this is like really ridiculous.

538
00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:15.800
It was almost like when the Three
Stooges carried on with the Curly Joe,

539
00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:19.400
you know, after Shemp and Curly
were gone, it was like,

540
00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:21.679
hey, you know what, you
guys, You're You're done. You know,

541
00:42:21.840 --> 00:42:24.119
you guys are just like three.
It was a good run. It

542
00:42:24.280 --> 00:42:28.840
was yeah, exactly. Let me
ask you this, did you ever like

543
00:42:29.159 --> 00:42:32.599
or were you ever a fan of
Double O seven movies? Because in eighty

544
00:42:32.679 --> 00:42:39.559
five A View to a Kill with
Roger Moore raped in over fifty million dollars.

545
00:42:39.840 --> 00:42:45.320
I remember my dad taking me to
see that movie with Roger Moore and

546
00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:50.119
that's where the two villains were very
famous. But one of the villains was

547
00:42:50.239 --> 00:42:58.079
Grace Jones and the other villain was
none other than mister Cowbell himself. His

548
00:42:58.320 --> 00:43:01.800
last name rhymes with somebody who takes
long walks. We're talking about the great

549
00:43:01.880 --> 00:43:06.159
Christopher Walk. Yes, wow,
I'm glad you got that on the first

550
00:43:06.199 --> 00:43:10.480
try. That's right. That guy's
an exceptionally great actor and a singer and

551
00:43:10.599 --> 00:43:14.840
a dancer. You've ever watched him
on a Saturday Night Live? Did?

552
00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:17.519
Of course? Yeah? Of course. Another one of the movies that came

553
00:43:17.559 --> 00:43:23.760
out, which I think kind of
the portrait of what the nineteen eighties were

554
00:43:23.840 --> 00:43:29.119
at least, And it's not because
it was the greatest movie ever. It

555
00:43:29.239 --> 00:43:32.000
was a great movie, but I
think it paints a picture of what the

556
00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:37.840
eighties was to young people. And
that movie was with a brat pack The

557
00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:45.039
Breakfast Club. It is now seven
h six. You have exactly eight hours

558
00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:49.000
and fifty four minutes to ponder the
error of your ways? Any questions?

559
00:43:49.199 --> 00:43:52.320
Yeah, does Barry Mandelone know that
you raided his wardrobe? A brain,

560
00:43:53.079 --> 00:43:59.199
a beauty, a jock, a
rebel, and a recluse. I can't

561
00:43:59.239 --> 00:44:02.039
believe this is really happening to me. Before this day is over. They'll

562
00:44:02.079 --> 00:44:09.840
break the rules that would it be? There are their souls. I'm an

563
00:44:09.880 --> 00:44:17.280
infamaniac. Do your parents awareless take
some chances being that feels pretty good and

564
00:44:17.559 --> 00:44:22.320
touch each other in a way they
never dreamed possible. Why you do that?

565
00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:30.480
Sony? Wouldn't the breakfast plug?
They only met once. I don't

566
00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:34.800
want to be alone anymore. They
don't have to me, but it changed

567
00:44:34.840 --> 00:44:37.519
their lives forever. And I consider
you guys my friends. I'm not wrong,

568
00:44:37.599 --> 00:44:44.719
am I? Universal Pictures Presents Immilio
Estevez, Paul Gleason, Anthony Michael

569
00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:50.679
Hall, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwall, and Ali Sheety in a John Hughes

570
00:44:50.800 --> 00:44:58.679
film Fans a nasting because you're letting
me the breakfast clut. I think that

571
00:44:59.440 --> 00:45:01.119
that group actors. I mean,
they did so many great things, so

572
00:45:01.159 --> 00:45:05.599
many great films. Oddly and sadly
enough, we don't see too many of

573
00:45:05.840 --> 00:45:09.639
them in the likes of Hollywood scripts
as we did back then. The cast

574
00:45:09.719 --> 00:45:15.679
members were Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael
Hall, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald,

575
00:45:15.079 --> 00:45:19.159
and Ali Sheedy. Right, we
don't see any of them. I haven't

576
00:45:19.159 --> 00:45:22.679
seen Judd Nelson in anything in years
now. I did meet him at a

577
00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:25.639
bar with my buddy Matt alb before
he was a cool Oh did you really?

578
00:45:25.920 --> 00:45:30.000
Yeah, he was a trip man. He was a cool dude.

579
00:45:30.920 --> 00:45:34.679
The way he acts in movies,
that's the way he was nice. You

580
00:45:34.760 --> 00:45:37.239
know one of you know, as
a supporting cast. Paul Gleeson, which

581
00:45:37.320 --> 00:45:42.679
was the principal, did a phenomenal
job. Oh yeah, he I mean,

582
00:45:42.800 --> 00:45:45.440
you hated that guy whenever you've seen
him on anything else after that.

583
00:45:45.039 --> 00:45:51.159
But he was the epitome of that
jackass teacher, that jackass counselor or or

584
00:45:51.280 --> 00:45:54.800
Dina Boys or vice principle that we
all had. Yeah. And then he

585
00:45:54.920 --> 00:46:02.280
also came out years later with Bruce
Willis iHeart as the annoying chief of police

586
00:46:02.400 --> 00:46:07.920
or whatever he was. And you
know we hated him because we hated him

587
00:46:07.079 --> 00:46:12.719
in the Breakfast Club. Yeah.
It's funny how this love hate relationship.

588
00:46:13.320 --> 00:46:19.199
Sometimes people get with actors for a
role that they portrayed, and he's number

589
00:46:19.239 --> 00:46:22.679
one right there. Yeah, you
know you could say that right there,

590
00:46:22.079 --> 00:46:29.719
off with the great epic movie of
the eighties. Come on, mister hand

591
00:46:30.480 --> 00:46:34.519
my favorite Martian yep. I mean
you know when you watch Ridgemont High,

592
00:46:34.559 --> 00:46:37.960
I mean he was just like,
man, why is he such a dick?

593
00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:42.119
You know? But he was classic. Isn't it our time? In

594
00:46:42.239 --> 00:46:47.000
this hand? It's like, oh
loved loved fast times. I've reached Ridgemon

595
00:46:47.119 --> 00:46:51.840
him And The last movie I want
to talk about is a movie that ultimately

596
00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:55.559
became probably my second favorite film of
all time, and that's because of just

597
00:46:57.280 --> 00:47:02.639
the zaniness of it. The idea
of two young teenagers wanting to make the

598
00:47:02.840 --> 00:47:07.599
perfect girl and they end up doing
it on their computer and then they get

599
00:47:07.639 --> 00:47:14.199
into loads of trouble and a lot
of it is is just really really whacky

600
00:47:14.199 --> 00:47:17.840
and unbelievable. But what a great
movie. Weird science, weird science.

601
00:47:20.039 --> 00:47:24.039
That's not a bad idea. What
making a girl? Actually making a girl?

602
00:47:24.760 --> 00:47:30.320
This is Wyatt and Gary. I
give her one digitus memory glance.

603
00:47:30.599 --> 00:47:40.079
Something's about to change their world,
something out of this World's alive a life.

604
00:47:40.519 --> 00:47:44.920
What would you little maniacs like to
do? First? It's all in

605
00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:50.360
the name of science, weird science. You want to be a party animal,

606
00:47:50.760 --> 00:47:52.800
you have to learn to live in
the jungle platas. Not here,

607
00:47:53.360 --> 00:47:57.960
no way. She is turning their
lives. Trust me for once. For

608
00:47:58.119 --> 00:48:06.480
you, what is going on?
I don't know their minds and their house

609
00:48:07.800 --> 00:48:15.039
upside down. It's seriously affecting a
sex life. It's completely unnatural if you

610
00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:27.880
realize snowing in my room. Totally
unbelievable and definitely weird. They went from

611
00:48:27.960 --> 00:48:36.079
zeros to heroes in one fantastic weekend. Not so good. Universal Pictures presents

612
00:48:36.239 --> 00:48:42.280
a John Hughes film Weird Science.
It's purely sexual. Oh, Kellino Brock

613
00:48:42.360 --> 00:48:46.840
that that woman was gorgeous. I
mean he would make the Chang stand erect

614
00:48:47.280 --> 00:48:51.000
in his chair from sitting down.
If you know what I'm talking about,

615
00:48:51.719 --> 00:48:53.639
what you are safe? Very nasty, my friend. On that note,

616
00:48:53.760 --> 00:48:57.840
back to the eighties will come back
in a moment. Hey, some of

617
00:48:57.920 --> 00:49:01.800
you remember the eighties five right,
well lives loud and proud. On Back

changry back in the eighties when everybody decided

626
00:49:57.119 --> 00:50:01.119
to wear those panty looking headbands like
the guy from Lover Boy and John Travolta

627
00:50:01.199 --> 00:50:07.079
War and one of the worst movies
that he's ever made in anything You mean

628
00:50:07.199 --> 00:50:10.760
grease too? Oh god? You
know what else got me changry back in

629
00:50:10.840 --> 00:50:15.400
the eighties when guys would roll up
the sleeves on their white T shirt.

630
00:50:15.519 --> 00:50:19.239
Oh, I used to do that
all the time. Yes, you know

631
00:50:19.360 --> 00:50:23.000
what got me changry back in the
eighties, when you turned to kiss a

632
00:50:23.079 --> 00:50:28.480
girl and all your taste is awk
one that. You know what else got

633
00:50:28.519 --> 00:50:30.920
me? Remember that glossy that it
wasn't even listic, It was like a

634
00:50:31.000 --> 00:50:35.519
gloss They used to wear. Then
had fruit flavors all the time. Yes,

635
00:50:35.800 --> 00:50:37.559
and now some of those flavors were
not bad. No, some of

636
00:50:37.639 --> 00:50:45.320
them were fantastic. I should call
him, oh diver. You know what

637
00:50:45.480 --> 00:50:49.360
got me changry back in the eighties, anything that lover boy ever put out

638
00:50:49.400 --> 00:50:52.039
of the radio. Oh, come
on, don't be a hater. Everybody's

639
00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:55.360
waiting for the weekend. Well,
I wasn't waiting for the weekend. I

640
00:50:55.480 --> 00:50:59.800
was waiting for those guys to hurry
up and not get any more airplay.

641
00:51:00.239 --> 00:51:02.920
That's right. You know what else
got me chang me back in the eighties?

642
00:51:04.159 --> 00:51:07.119
Eighties dance music. You know what
got me chang back in the eighties,

643
00:51:07.519 --> 00:51:10.559
I got crabs at the US Festival
and that, lady, gentlemen,

644
00:51:10.840 --> 00:51:15.920
are today's chagres. If you have
a changer that you'd like to talk to

645
00:51:15.079 --> 00:51:19.199

to the eighties, go ahead and
send us a message through our Facebook page.

647
00:51:22.199 --> 00:51:27.440
Will be more than glad to get
to it. I'm stuttering here because

648
00:51:27.559 --> 00:51:30.039
I just found this. This is
part of your favorite eighties music. Chang

649
00:51:30.679 --> 00:51:34.400
What do you got? If you
can tell me if you remember this,

650
00:51:36.480 --> 00:51:42.159
this is one of the eighties greatest
disco songs that everybody when you heard this

651
00:51:42.280 --> 00:51:45.760
one, the DJ would put this
and everybody would get excited for you remember

652
00:51:45.800 --> 00:51:49.639
this? That me, not everyone. The chang wasn't going to come on

653
00:51:49.719 --> 00:51:53.239
and I can see the Chang Chang
dancing with Wake up and stop the Latin

654
00:51:53.320 --> 00:52:00.679
connection. The very first time I
heard this song, I had to hold

655
00:52:00.760 --> 00:52:12.760
myself down from wanting to vomit.
Oh, good, old ladies. The

656
00:52:12.960 --> 00:52:17.000
dance beat was so repetitious it was
kind of to me. It was like

657
00:52:17.119 --> 00:52:22.360
having a bad hangover day after day
after day after. Of course, they

658
00:52:22.480 --> 00:52:25.679
put those songs and that music on
at these big old disco clubs and before

659
00:52:25.719 --> 00:52:29.920
we used to call them discos.
Remember yeah, they put them on as

660
00:52:30.039 --> 00:52:32.960
loud as possible because they don't You
don't care about the music. You want

661
00:52:34.000 --> 00:52:37.199
a good beat, and that's all
you care. Because you're there for another

662
00:52:37.320 --> 00:52:38.679
reason. If you know what I'm
saying, Oh, you're trying to get

663
00:52:38.719 --> 00:52:42.840
some action, some trim. You're
trying to get lucky. I remember my

664
00:52:42.920 --> 00:52:46.000
buddies when they all went disco and
they all started getting those uh kind of

665
00:52:46.039 --> 00:52:52.320
teach those uh those uh short sleep
color shirts with all kinds of stripes.

666
00:52:52.360 --> 00:52:59.880
They look like a bunch of barber
barbershop quartetors. Remember yeah, I had

667
00:53:00.039 --> 00:53:04.920
say the same hair, and my
buddies all turned into Pansy's wearing Penny loafers

668
00:53:04.960 --> 00:53:07.239
and they would go down a Floorentine
Gardens and then you greased up your hair

669
00:53:07.320 --> 00:53:12.119
too. You greased up your hair. Oh yeah, My buddies they started

670
00:53:12.199 --> 00:53:14.559
looking like that. And I remember
they would always like, hey man,

671
00:53:14.599 --> 00:53:16.960
we're going to Flourentine Gardens. And
I would be like, it's in Hollywood,

672
00:53:17.000 --> 00:53:20.400
So I was like, yeah,
I'm down. I would go with

673
00:53:20.480 --> 00:53:22.480
them. They would get all,
you know, dulled up, and they're

674
00:53:22.519 --> 00:53:27.760
over there putting their cologne on and
their gray flannel and they head into the

675
00:53:27.800 --> 00:53:30.199
Florentine guard Boom. I made a
quick left and I just started walking down

676
00:53:30.280 --> 00:53:34.639
the boulevard down to Sunset. My
brother, I'll take a cab and go

677
00:53:34.719 --> 00:53:37.280
to Sunset and take a taxi cab
home and go. I'll a rock and

678
00:53:37.440 --> 00:53:44.679
roll away a lot of nights.
The Chang hit Hollywood solo artist style.

679
00:53:44.800 --> 00:53:49.000
My brother, did you really you
just walk into to the Rainbow Room.

680
00:53:49.519 --> 00:53:52.519
I'd just take off to the Rainbow
bro Boom. As soon as I got

681
00:53:52.559 --> 00:53:54.039
out of the taxi, I'd have
him drop it off in the Rainbow Room

682
00:53:54.079 --> 00:53:58.960
and I'd just get off and go
in there and get my legendary jack and

683
00:53:59.079 --> 00:54:04.519
coke and uh, just mingle with
all the heavy nail dixens out there and

684
00:54:05.119 --> 00:54:07.199
try and get my own. You
know what I mean, when my buddies

685
00:54:07.239 --> 00:54:09.920
were over there dancing away and everybody
looking like a bunch of idiots in the

686
00:54:10.000 --> 00:54:15.599
same shirt and probably combing their hair
and jip moosen it up in the bathroom

687
00:54:15.719 --> 00:54:17.039
and going back. You got a
feather out in the back. Remember the

688
00:54:17.119 --> 00:54:23.960
discos. We used to feather our
hair in the back the Danny Terrio look

689
00:54:24.239 --> 00:54:29.679
if everybody you know, everybody remembers
Danny Terrio in the Danny Terry or Puncerello

690
00:54:29.760 --> 00:54:31.760
as well. I remember you calling
me Puncerello at times, said you've got

691
00:54:31.960 --> 00:54:36.559
you sent me that picture where you're
on the beach and it's very punch looking

692
00:54:36.559 --> 00:54:38.719
except the less muscle. Well,
yeah, I was fifty years old.

693
00:54:39.400 --> 00:54:45.079
I was. I was into martial
arts and soccer back then. M similar

694
00:54:45.079 --> 00:54:49.199
to that picture I showed you on
Toscano and changing my buddy sent it.

695
00:54:49.280 --> 00:54:52.559
Remember listener pete Ye, my buddy, my homeboy, when he was listening

696
00:54:52.559 --> 00:54:55.719
to the show, he sent that
picture. Yeah, when we're nineteen in

697
00:54:55.840 --> 00:55:00.800
his bedroom, I've got a mustache
and a beard, look like I'm twenty

698
00:55:00.880 --> 00:55:05.280
seven years old. Yeah, you
did look a lot older. I remember

699
00:55:05.639 --> 00:55:07.320
that picture that I sent you.
I looked like that even when I was

700
00:55:07.440 --> 00:55:12.039
nineteen nice. Yeah, they used
to call me the karate kid because there

701
00:55:12.119 --> 00:55:15.039
was I was eating up that age
and I you know, you know,

702
00:55:15.519 --> 00:55:19.400
it's bad when you're trying to hook
up with an older person or you know,

703
00:55:19.480 --> 00:55:22.119
somebody who's your age, because they
look at you they go, oh,

704
00:55:22.159 --> 00:55:25.159
you're a little kid when you're their
age. Yeah. I would imagine

705
00:55:25.199 --> 00:55:30.079
you were feeling a lot like Ralb
Machiols and oh I did. Yeah,

706
00:55:30.639 --> 00:55:37.880
you demanded that you needed Ralph.
That guys. The change in itself.

707
00:55:38.960 --> 00:55:45.800
Bad about the karate kid man.
So it's funny he's the karate He knows

708
00:55:46.039 --> 00:55:50.320
nothing of karate, which is the
most hilarious thing in the world. But

709
00:55:50.440 --> 00:55:52.880
listen, jan you talk to us
a little bit about the Rainbow Room,

710
00:55:52.960 --> 00:55:59.920
because I know you spent many a
time he talk to the people that were

711
00:56:00.119 --> 00:56:04.360
not into the metal scene, not
into the hard rock scene or rock maybe

712
00:56:04.480 --> 00:56:08.000
at all. And pean a picture
of what the Rainbow Room was then and

713
00:56:08.199 --> 00:56:13.760
compare it to what it is well
before COVID, because today it's nothing.

714
00:56:14.639 --> 00:56:19.519
The Rainbow Room has not really changed. When I started doing stand up comedy,

715
00:56:19.639 --> 00:56:22.159
I was going to the Rainbow Room
a lot, because I think you

716
00:56:22.239 --> 00:56:24.559
remember I was doing a lot of
gigs at the Comedy Store. I was

717
00:56:24.599 --> 00:56:29.639
already becoming pretty well known there.
So I was up at the Rainbow probably

718
00:56:29.679 --> 00:56:31.800
every Friday Saturday night when I was
doing stand up comedy, the same kind

719
00:56:31.840 --> 00:56:37.840
of characters. Oddly enough, a
lot of the rock stars that I remember

720
00:56:37.920 --> 00:56:40.639
seeing back in the eighties were still
hanging out there. I got to hang

721
00:56:40.719 --> 00:56:46.280
out with the late great Lemmy of
Motorhead, had a pretty conversation for a

722
00:56:46.320 --> 00:56:50.119
little about a little bit over an
hour with Lemmy, had a couple of

723
00:56:50.199 --> 00:56:54.559
drinks, slammed some Jack Daniels down, sitting beside between two of the most

724
00:56:54.639 --> 00:57:00.519
gorgeous sisters in rock and roll that
I've ever seen. And back at the

725
00:57:00.599 --> 00:57:04.360
eighties, the Rainbow, you know, you had the likes of Andrew Dice

726
00:57:04.440 --> 00:57:07.840
clay walking in every now and then. You had Sam Kinderson who was always

727
00:57:07.920 --> 00:57:13.639
there. Mottley Crue was always there. To describe the Rainbow. The Rainbow

728
00:57:13.760 --> 00:57:19.079
was first known as a restaurant,
you know where you can go in there

729
00:57:19.119 --> 00:57:21.519
and you get a good meal.
You get some Italian food. It was.

730
00:57:21.880 --> 00:57:25.440
It was owned by an Italian family. Great pizza. A nice little,

731
00:57:25.559 --> 00:57:29.440
dark, kind of out of the
way bar in the back if you

732
00:57:29.519 --> 00:57:32.920
can picture, you know, really
dark, only some lights. Gorgeous looking

733
00:57:34.000 --> 00:57:38.199
bartenders, pretty nice looking bartender dudes, you know what I mean. To

734
00:57:38.400 --> 00:57:40.880
the tea, I mean they knew
how to make every drink. Everything was

735
00:57:40.960 --> 00:57:45.599
friendly. The rock and roll ambiance
was as heavy as the fog i'd say

736
00:57:45.639 --> 00:57:51.880
in Ireland. I mean, it's
just the room was alive with rock and

737
00:57:52.039 --> 00:57:53.400
roll. You know, rock and
rolls on the box, so you heard

738
00:57:53.519 --> 00:57:58.920
rock and roll playing throughout every everywhere
you turned, there was there was hair,

739
00:57:59.639 --> 00:58:02.679
guy hair, women hair, the
smell of leather, the smell of

740
00:58:02.800 --> 00:58:07.840
cologne. You can go up to
the bathrooms and I do hear that the

741
00:58:07.920 --> 00:58:12.840
Abominable Snowman used to make his rounds
at the Rainbow Room. That's how white

742
00:58:12.920 --> 00:58:15.639
everything was in the bathrooms. I
mean the bathroom. The Rainbow to me

743
00:58:16.039 --> 00:58:21.320
was like some people would call it
hell, you know what I mean,

744
00:58:21.320 --> 00:58:24.119
because everything bad is happening, but
you know to live it and breathe it

745
00:58:24.239 --> 00:58:30.880
and be of that type of kind
of a lifestyle. Wild child. It

746
00:58:30.119 --> 00:58:35.039
was definitely something that you had to
have a taste for. You had to

747
00:58:35.199 --> 00:58:38.039
understand it, you had to live
it and breathe it. If you were

748
00:58:38.119 --> 00:58:44.519
just visiting, you would probably be
horrified, or you would go back with

749
00:58:44.679 --> 00:58:47.920
some great stories and a lot of
pictures on your portable cameras back then that

750
00:58:47.960 --> 00:58:52.480
people took because we didn't have phones
back then, right, So I wish

751
00:58:52.519 --> 00:58:55.199
back in the eighties I had a
cell phone to take pictures of all the

752
00:58:55.280 --> 00:58:59.639
crap that I did see going on
in there. I mean, I party

753
00:59:00.039 --> 00:59:05.199
party with Billy Idol's guitar player,
Steve Stevens up in one of the top

754
00:59:05.559 --> 00:59:07.840
tables up there, and I'm not
going to tell you what we're doing,

755
00:59:07.920 --> 00:59:12.239
but oh yeah, man, it
was snow and it wasn't Christmas. The

756
00:59:12.440 --> 00:59:15.519
Rainbow. I mean, you could
be in the Rainbow room and as long

757
00:59:15.559 --> 00:59:17.400
as you had hair, you get
some rock and roll chick and she'll turn

758
00:59:17.440 --> 00:59:20.920
you around and just start making out
with you. And all you needed to

759
00:59:21.000 --> 00:59:23.559
do was have a leather jacket on
in some air. It was insane.

760
00:59:23.639 --> 00:59:29.400
I'm telling you. It was like
Sodom and Gomorrah played in a metal band.

761
00:59:29.960 --> 00:59:31.440
Let me ask you this was there
ever a time when you were at

762
00:59:31.480 --> 00:59:36.559
the Rainbow Room and you know,
you see the typical usual crowd, right,

763
00:59:37.119 --> 00:59:39.719
and then all of a sudden,
through the doors comes in a total

764
00:59:39.880 --> 00:59:45.679
opposite looking kind of dude with this
girl, maybe a disco guy with his

765
00:59:45.800 --> 00:59:50.760
feathered hair. And you didn't get
too many dancing kind of dudes, but

766
00:59:50.960 --> 00:59:53.239
when you didn't, they went in
there with a girl. I mean,

767
00:59:53.760 --> 00:59:57.760
everybody knows, those long hair guys, we are going to do whatever it

768
00:59:57.880 --> 01:00:01.400
takes to get that attention to that
female away from everybody else that doesn't look

769
01:00:01.440 --> 01:00:06.280
like us. So it was kind
of mayhem. It was almost it was

770
01:00:06.360 --> 01:00:09.239
almost like seeing a bunch of long
haired dudes and leather fishing. Everybody was

771
01:00:09.280 --> 01:00:13.679
trying to throw their best bait out
just to go ahead and hook and sink

772
01:00:13.800 --> 01:00:17.320
this hot chick that went in there
with Captain square Pants or or Johnny Disco

773
01:00:17.440 --> 01:00:20.239
Cut, you know what I mean. It was. It was it was

774
01:00:20.360 --> 01:00:23.880
something that that you had to live
and breathe and see my brother now standing

775
01:00:23.960 --> 01:00:28.719
outside the rainbow was just as epic
as being insane. Yeah, I remember,

776
01:00:28.800 --> 01:00:30.800
yeah, I remember, I remember, you know, and then you

777
01:00:30.880 --> 01:00:32.480
know, you go on the parking
lot man. You know, you can

778
01:00:32.599 --> 01:00:36.519
throw back some cold ones, you
can have some shots, you can do

779
01:00:36.719 --> 01:00:38.079
something on the hood of a car. You can smoke. I mean,

780
01:00:38.599 --> 01:00:43.320
I remember one time then I met
this chick out there, man, and

781
01:00:43.719 --> 01:00:45.079
I mean we went for it in
the back, right in the alley.

782
01:00:45.159 --> 01:00:49.159
Man. And that's a that's a
well known story for a lot of rock

783
01:00:49.239 --> 01:00:51.960
and rollers, man, that we're
you know, we're laying the pipe in

784
01:00:52.000 --> 01:00:53.599
the back of the alley right there
where guards are going by. Man,

785
01:00:53.679 --> 01:00:58.679
there was just no care cautioned into
the wind man hanging out in the rainbow.

786
01:00:59.039 --> 01:01:02.360
Back in the eighties. What about
the stray Cat crowd, And you

787
01:01:02.440 --> 01:01:07.119
know, would they show up when
let's say Rat was playing. No,

788
01:01:07.320 --> 01:01:09.000
they wouldn't show up when Rat was
playing, But every now and then,

789
01:01:09.239 --> 01:01:14.280
you know, they were. There
wasn't really too many kind of that,

790
01:01:15.440 --> 01:01:17.760
that type of group going on in
Hollywood at that time. It was pretty

791
01:01:17.880 --> 01:01:22.480
much hard rock and then glam came
in. So it was always the hair,

792
01:01:22.360 --> 01:01:25.599
you know what I mean, from
Kami t to Canny see Era who

793
01:01:25.679 --> 01:01:30.480
was always the hair. But every
now and then you did get you did

794
01:01:30.599 --> 01:01:34.920
get some of these uh grease or
looking stray cat looking cats. That would

795
01:01:34.960 --> 01:01:38.480
stroll down on Sunset Boulevard and walk
around, and you know, every now

796
01:01:38.519 --> 01:01:42.440
and then one of them would try
to get a little gutsy or smooth,

797
01:01:42.599 --> 01:01:45.840
you know, or get a little
bit crazy like they were the Greasers or

798
01:01:45.920 --> 01:01:47.239
something from the fifties, you know
what I mean. They would get their

799
01:01:47.280 --> 01:01:52.519
ass has handed to them and smothered
by by by long hair. I probably

800
01:01:52.599 --> 01:01:55.519
was guilty at a time or two
of doing something like that with my friends.

801
01:01:55.840 --> 01:01:59.280
Anyway, this is back to the
eighties. I know that we could

802
01:01:59.280 --> 01:02:04.920
talk or many many more shows regarding
nineteen eighty five or any particular day of

803
01:02:05.000 --> 01:02:07.280
the eighties, but we just don't
have the time. And I want to

804
01:02:07.320 --> 01:02:10.800

807
01:02:20.880 --> 01:02:23.159

a Patreon page. It's where you know,

808
01:02:23.280 --> 01:02:28.000

814
01:02:45.920 --> 01:02:51.239

815
01:02:51.599 --> 01:02:55.599
a music based show, also add
some different types of shows to the Back

824
01:03:31.639 --> 01:03:37.000
may endeavor with the pretty much the
same format as we are heard on Back

825
01:03:37.039 --> 01:03:42.920
to the Eighties. Remember remember we
have a few different levels to help us

01:03:53.599 --> 01:03:59.400
way to keep the eighties alive and
