8
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:35.520
I'm so scared. I wish I
had a ham sandwich to call my
9
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:42.280
nerves. I find a place to
hide. Where are you going, fuzzy
10
00:00:42.359 --> 00:01:00.679
face back to That's what I was
afraid of. Wait for me, gave

Back to the Eighties Radio atmail dot
com. Don't forget to leave us a
17
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:40.079
rating and review wherever you listen to
us now in studio with me is a
18
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:45.079
man that has more banana rama albums
and posters on his wall than anyone on
19
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:49.000
earth. He has been seen many
times in the nineteen eighties writing a lowrider
20
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:56.599
bicycle with a sidecar and a full
life size poster of the Safety Dance Midget.
21
00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:00.879
Some people call us the ying and
the chant. Welcome back to back
22
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:07.240
to the eighties after a little time
off due to the snow and the storms
23
00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:15.000
that are in your area. Salute
Toscano to my most favorite Italian besides the
24
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:22.080
late great chef Boyard. Everybody out
there, Olah said the one eyed Chola
25
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.639
Toscano tonight. Now, I don't
want to talk about the weather, because
26
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:30.800
yes, ladies and gentlemen, it
was very hard on all of us.
27
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:38.199
Anyone that has ever suffered through wind, rain, snow, sleet, massive
28
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:45.280
hail, bloods, hillside sliding sink
holes, you will know that Mother Nature
29
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:49.360
has not been kind. We've been
away from the microphones for a while.
30
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:54.080
The blizzards were heavy where the chang
is yes, or to five to six
31
00:02:54.159 --> 00:03:00.879
feet of snow. Oh no,
Now, Tuscano sat by the pool.
32
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:05.759
I did, just drizzle. I
did three months. It's so good to
33
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.439
live by the beach. Me and
the boys are out surfing. Well,
34
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:14.840
I was in the sleet and the
snow, in fear that sasquatch would take
35
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:21.960
over my dwelling and eat my pit. Pull and staffy to scot rained by
36
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:28.039
the pool side, eating tuna sandwiches
with the ends cut off. Well,
37
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:32.240
him and the boys swam in the
pool in a heated pool. No,
38
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:37.479
no, no heated pool. Light
drizzle. No, look all right,
39
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.520
so it wasn't like drizzle. I
can't look. It wasn't light drizzle.
40
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:46.360
But we did have about four to
six inches of rain, and I'm drowning
41
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:53.560
in my tears. But we consider
ourselves blessed because of the area where we're
42
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:57.319
at, and we do know that
you you got quite a bit of snow,
43
00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:00.479
but there's a lot of people that
got it even worse are the tornado
44
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:04.840
hit in Oklahoma and many other areas
where it completely wiped out towns. So
45
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:10.599
I do consider ourselves blessed in spite
of everything that that you've gone through,
46
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:13.719
and a lot of people that are
listening to us Chang but don't miss today's
47
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:17.000
show because we are going to be
taking a virtual ride back to our favorite
48
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:21.600
decade and talk about how vastly different
it was and how much better in some
49
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:27.040
ways and not so much in some
other ways. So stick around because this
50
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:30.319
is the one that only Back to
the Ages Radio with the ying and the
51
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:32.439
chang. Nobody has the movie I
want. Hey, if it's on video,
52
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:36.279
Blockbuster probably hasn't. I mean we
have over ten thousand videos. Wow,
53
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:41.040
I'll watching spas have them back tomorrow, I promise, relaxed a Blockbuster
54
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:44.319
you can keep your videos for three
evenings, so take home plenty and use
55
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:47.240
our twenty four hour quick drop.
Do you have any show rings videos?
56
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:51.759
Sure, Blockbusters America's Family Video Store. You know we have more kids videos
57
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:56.160
than any place else. He more
movies, more night, more fun.
58
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:03.480
What difference, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm Shadow Stevens and you must listen to
59
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:12.560
Back to the Eighties Radio. It's
the law. Welcome back to Back to
60
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:15.639
the Eighties Radio hosted by yours truly
to Scotto and Chan. Today's topic,
61
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.879
it's going to be a little bit
different because it is at the request of
62
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:24.000
our tiversial it can be, but
at the request of many of our eighties
63
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:28.800
family, friends and fans. Oh, we are going to be taking this
64
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:32.560
into various topics that have to do
with how vastly different it was back in
65
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:36.439
the nineteen eighties, the things that
were better and the things that weren't so
66
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.519
cool, if you know what I
mean. But I want to start talking
67
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:44.920
about a subject that has changed so
radically, the face of how we used
68
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.279
to live. And one of the
most significant differences between the eighties and today
69
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:53.399
is the way we interact with one
another. I mean, back then,
70
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:57.319
people were more likely to have a
face to face conversation with someone. They
71
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:00.759
spent more time together in person.
Sure you can say, well, there
72
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:04.079
was no internet, there was no
online Well, there were many distractions still,
73
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:11.199
but we chose to have our social
interactions done in person, sometimes by
74
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:15.759
choice, correct sometimes by a chance, and sometimes we didn't have a choice.
75
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.040
There was no such thing as social
media, and people didn't rely on
76
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:24.199
text messages emojis to communicate in the
eighties. If you wanted to talk with
77
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:28.519
someone, you had to pick up
the phone or see them in person,
78
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:30.560
or you had to write a letter. I mean when you were in high
79
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.720
school, oh, yes, in
the eighties, or in grammar school,
80
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:38.920
if you wanted to get somebody's attention, maybe a girl, or somebody's attention
81
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:42.439
in a class, you wrote a
fricking letter. But that's how we communicated.
82
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:46.680
Do you remember having a buddy or
somebody you knew, a girl and
83
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:50.519
could you get their number for me? And then calling them and then hanging
84
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:55.279
up on them because you were too
shy to listen to their parent or a
85
00:06:55.360 --> 00:07:00.560
brother or another sibling giving you the
high hard one. Why do you want
86
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.439
to talk to my sister? I
mean that was the difference. Nowadays,
87
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:08.720
you can just like get a number
from somebody or look them up on social
88
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:14.199
media. I'll give you, I'll
send you my email and do you know
89
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:17.319
what I mean? Hashtag hashtag hashtag
I'm a woos because I can't come to
90
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:21.120
your face and do it the way
that my parents or my grandparents hooked up.
91
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:27.600
It's intriguing the difference, and it's
crazy because like I have grandkids and
92
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:30.600
they're all about the way that I
just made fun of that we're talking about,
93
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:34.199
you know, they're all about social
media and technology, you know,
94
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:38.600
getting a hold of each other.
You know, but back they would probably
95
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:42.759
think me and you are like fighting
dinosaurs. Off with some freaking sticks or
96
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:46.040
something. Because we didn't have that. You either passed a note or you
97
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:50.879
grew some guts and you went ahead
and you actually communicated with somebody. How
98
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:55.879
many today, both young and older, that have relied so much on the
99
00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:59.920
phone, and I'm talking that part
is on the older folks. The new
100
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:03.560
were kids while they don't know any
different, they're growing up with this.
101
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.279
It surprises me how a lot of
people have lost the art of talking,
102
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:13.680
communicating with one another. We used
to use our own mouth, our own
103
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:18.800
voices to communicate, and now it
seems like we just don't know. And
104
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:24.639
the youngsters today they get lost.
You look at their face and it looks
105
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:30.279
like there's it's a deer in headlights. And I'm not talking about every single
106
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:33.360
one, because there are some youngsters
that are pretty bright, but there's a
107
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:35.600
lot of them. The ones that
I've seen that they're carry their phone everywhere,
108
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.639
and without their phone, they just
don't know what to do. You
109
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.320
know, We've seen these little couples
that sitting at restaurants, they're not even
110
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.759
looking at each other. They're texting. Who are they texting? If you're
111
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:50.879
on a date with a girl or
the girls on a date with a guy.
112
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:54.240
Why would you want to be on
the phone texting someone. You want
113
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:58.399
to be looking at them where they're
into their devices more than they are.
114
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:03.639
The surroundings, right, and the
surroundings are what have to break the individual
115
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:09.759
away from the device. I also
see that typically in family functions and events,
116
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:16.080
because I too fall guilty. When
I've been with my grandchildren, they
117
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:18.440
fall into that, and then I
got to kind of tell them what I
118
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.679
think about that. You know what
I'm saying, and I probably sound like
119
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:26.480
I'm probably riding in to go have
dinner with them on a freaking horse by
120
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:28.440
me telling them, Hey, you
know that's not cool. You know you
121
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:33.480
were with family, you had a
conversation, if you went somewhere, you
122
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.720
gave somebody your undivided attention. That's
called respect. And I've seen families at
123
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:41.759
restaurants where none of the family,
the parents don't look at each other.
124
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:46.480
They're on their phone. I've seen
older I've seen grandparents where either the grand
125
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:48.720
dad or the grandmother is on their
phone. They don't look at each other
126
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:56.279
anymore. What is so gosh damn
important that you can't leave your screen for
127
00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:03.120
the time that you are having dinner. We have been consciously and subconsciously condition
128
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.200
brainwash that our phone is everything.
This is back to the eighties. We're
129
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:11.279
gonna take a little break when we
come back. Entrepreneur, podcaster, content
130
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:16.000
creator Aida Dawson coming up, So
you want to stick around for that or
131
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:20.879
on the one and only Back to
the eighties Radio ten nine, eight,
132
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:35.360
seven, six five, What do
you even? Gentle TV has been heralded
133
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.799
ex fresh and innovative and criticized for
being shallow. When MTV first hit,
134
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:46.519
this was the biggest talk in the
universe. MTV dropped a grenade into our
135
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:54.600
world. Everybody was watching MTV.
People had the radio made international stars almost
136
00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:58.519
overnight. We had no idea what
was going to happen. Because of MTV
137
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:03.679
gave a visual representation to the artist
that they did not have before. But
138
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:18.120
you never looked at music the same
way again, Hey, somebody you remember
139
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:20.919
the eighties vibe? Right? Well, it lives loud and proud. On
140
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:31.360
back to the eighties with my pals
to Scotto and Chay, welcome back.
141
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:35.519
This is back to the eighties radio. As promise, we have Aida Dawson,
142
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:41.399
entrepreneur, business owner, car enthusiast
Race car driver. Oh my gosh,
143
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:43.759
you've done it on Aida. Thank
you for being on back to the
144
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:46.799
eighties. No, thank you so
much. I definitely appreciate that. I
145
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:52.720
know for a fact that you are, let's say, an old soul at
146
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:56.559
heart. You love the older music, and I know you love cars all
147
00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:03.279
across the board. I've noticed that
this newer generation really doesn't know much of
148
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.039
the past generations, and that includes
we're talking the early two thousands, even
149
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:13.480
nineteen nineties, let alone the nineteen
eighties. It's weird we as the older
150
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:18.799
generation, should be teaching the younger
generation about when we grew up, where
151
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:22.960
we grew up, etc. But
why do you think that there's this gap
152
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:26.240
of no knowledge. I mean,
I blame it on us, my generation
153
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:30.639
not teaching the younger generation. But
what do you think it is. I
154
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:35.279
would definitely think it's probably a combination
of, you know, different things.
155
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:39.320
I mean, one it being I
don't know if it's been really passed down
156
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:43.799
from the previous generation to our generations. So in a sense, I think
157
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:46.320
you do have a point there.
But I think the biggest thing is,
158
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:52.240
you know, life has just changed
so much and so drastically from the eighties
159
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:56.960
to the nineties to the two thousands, even up to this point. It's
160
00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:01.120
just so drastically different. And I
don't think that's a fault of anyone.
161
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:03.120
I think it's just the way that
you know, life and the and the
162
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:11.240
generations have continued to roll on.
And uh, you know. I it
163
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:13.639
is funny though, that you mentioned, you know, the difference, because
164
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:18.840
I've spoken to quite a few people
my age. You know, for everybody
165
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:22.399
out there in the audience, I'm
twenty five, you know, I'm half
166
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:28.240
a century old or quarter century old. Oh my goodness, don't try to
167
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:31.759
seem older. That's not going to
work, not with me. Well,
168
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:37.320
I appreciate that, but yeah,
no, I've spoken to a handful or
169
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.759
quite a few people actually who really
value and respect the eighties, and I
170
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:50.559
think that was really the time that
was just so special in terms of upcoming
171
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:56.360
fashion and culture and lifestyle and music. And I think it was really the
172
00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:03.480
beginning of just you know, modern
day life moving forward. That was really
173
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:05.759
the start of it. And I
know there's a lot of people who wish
174
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:09.559
to be back in the eighties.
And you know, all my friend's parents,
175
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:13.000
you know, and people I know
that are of that generation. They
176
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:16.720
loved it. They had the time
of their lives, and you know,
177
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:20.360
they said that the eighties was just
the best to grow up in in all
178
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.480
different aspects. You are one of
the few people that I know personally that
179
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:30.639
actually knows some of the things that
transpired in the eighties, some of the
180
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:33.840
music, some of the artists,
etc. Let me put it to this
181
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.399
way. I was listening to a
conversation between a parent. The child must
182
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:41.080
have looked like ten years old or
something like that. This was at a
183
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:43.120
store, and a stranger walked into
the conversation and said, oh, do
184
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:48.679
you told the little child do you
like so and so toys? And the
185
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:52.200
kids said, no, I don't
have any toys. Every child should know
186
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:56.559
what a toy is, right,
absolutely. I mean, that's that just
187
00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:01.159
boggles my mind. But you know, obviously kind of just shows the gap,
188
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:05.840
you know, between the eighties and
even the really the two thousands.
189
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:11.000
And then of course, now I
think people who did grow up in the
190
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:16.320
two thousands do have a bit more
common commonality with you know, the eighties
191
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:20.440
in terms of just you know,
ethics, morals, you know, the
192
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.279
way of life, you know,
is still somewhat kind of the same,
193
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:30.559
but just different in its own way. But the yeah, that's crazy.
194
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:33.759
I mean, you know, a
ten year old not knowing what a toy
195
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:37.759
is except for the screen. That's
that just boggles my mind. Now,
196
00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:41.759
talking about popular culture, what are
some of the biggest differences between popular culture?
197
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:48.480
Technology is one of them for sure, That's probably one of the biggest
198
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:54.960
differences. I think there's a difference
in how people relate to each other,
199
00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:00.559
you know, and again that kind
of relates back to technology, and also
200
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.639
too, I think it was just
a slower time, like people took more
201
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:07.919
time on deeds, or more time
at the movies, or more time with
202
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:12.080
their families at dinner. You know. It's it's things like that that I
203
00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:18.240
think really is significant in terms of
differences. The pinnacle of technology in my
204
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:23.759
household was cable TV. You know, you had cable TV and satellite By
205
00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:30.919
the way, did you know that
satellite TV was this ginormous, literal satellite
206
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:36.279
dish placed in a backyard like it
was. It was huge. It was
207
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:41.279
a big satellite dish. Once again, I blame it on my generation.
208
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:45.759
I don't blame this new generation for
not knowing how to socialize as we did.
209
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:51.960
My generation saw the advent of everything
technology, and we were so excited.
210
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:55.000
Look when I was going to school, I remember the teachers would say,
211
00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:57.879
someday there's going to be a phone
called a picture phone, and you're
212
00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:00.039
gonna pick it up. It's gonna
have a little screen and you're gonna be
213
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:04.240
able to see the person on the
other side, right, And believe it
214
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:10.359
or not, those phones did come
out, but they were so expensive nobody
215
00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:14.000
bottom like, if you bought one
for like three thousand dollars, that didn't
216
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:15.400
do you any good because you needed
to buy two so you could see the
217
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:18.480
person on the other end and on
the other end. So we had we
218
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:22.480
had no idea, and it was
just a time that even you know,
219
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:26.440
movies would show us how exciting it
was going to be. So we were
220
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:27.720
just like, oh, I can't
wait, I can't wait, I can't
221
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:32.200
wait. But then when it hit
us, we couldn't handle it. We
222
00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:37.480
couldn't handle all this technology at once
for us. And so when the younger
223
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:41.559
generation came out, we taught them
our being out of control, if that
224
00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:44.880
makes sense. We were we got
out of control because we're like, oh
225
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:47.359
my gosh, a screen in front
of me, Oh my gosh, I
226
00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:49.400
have a little pocket computer in that
sense. Yeah, you're absolutely right,
227
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:56.000
so technology and socializing. If you
could travel back, what is one of
228
00:17:56.000 --> 00:18:00.279
the experiences that you would like to
have from back then? Definitely probably going
229
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:07.759
to a nightclub or just to go
dancing at a disco. You know,
230
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:12.160
I think it people back then from
the videos that I've seen and just heard,
231
00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:17.759
you know, the dancing which is
unparalleled compared to today's dancing. And
232
00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:22.279
I think back then people just really
had the groove and they just had you
233
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:27.759
know, the excitements and just you
know, trying new things in the in
234
00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:32.680
the clubs, and you know,
really, like I said, I think
235
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:36.519
they were just the beginning of the
modern role that we know today. I
236
00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:41.640
know that you love music. What
are some of the bands or performers that
237
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:44.319
you like from the eighties? Well, this might be a little bit ahead
238
00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:48.440
of time, but it was still
relevant than Earthwind Fire, of course.
239
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:56.279
Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Prince, the Commodores, love the rhythm.
240
00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:00.359
I do see that it's everything about
the at least for me. What can
241
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:06.319
you tell me are the major differences
between the music that was older compared to
242
00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:11.279
today's music. The lyrics with themselves
are completely different than today's music. You
243
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:15.079
know, there was a lot more
value behind the lyrics back then in the
244
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:19.599
eighties and what people were singing about
rather than today's music. Also too,
245
00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:23.640
I think the beat which was just
unrivaled, you know that the beat of
246
00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:27.960
the eighties was just you know,
I mean we still hear it to today's
247
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:33.519
you know, um in today's world, and it's just there's there's nothing like
248
00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:37.160
it. The amount of upbeat music
and just the funk that the eighties had,
249
00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:42.920
it's just you know, un parallel
and m and also too, you
250
00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:48.799
know, back then people really sane
and performed and like today everything you know,
251
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:52.640
you can make anyone sound very very
good today into yeah auto tune.
252
00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:57.359
Back then, I love it because
people really did, you know, real
253
00:19:57.440 --> 00:20:03.240
performances, and there wasn't all this
technology to you know, clean everything up,
254
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:07.799
and you know, you really got
to see the artists for themselves.
255
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:11.880
You know, if you could go
back and tell someone young back then something
256
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:15.519
about this new generation, anything you
want. It could be something good,
257
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:18.160
it could be something bad, it
could be just what would you tell them.
258
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:23.000
I would tell them that it's far
different, and it's I don't think
259
00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:30.400
it's as um genuine as the eighties, you know, yeah, genuine.
260
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:36.839
I would say, if given one
word, it would be genuine originality.
261
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:40.799
We'll be right back. This is
Back to the Eighties Radio with the young
262
00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:51.799
and talented Miss Aida Dusk. You
remember the first time you tried these games
263
00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:56.680
space fuck with practice? Yea like
man when you first tried and coke and
264
00:20:56.839 --> 00:21:00.720
that you said no, thank you, But hey, let's try coke again,
265
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:06.200
because once you got that new wave
of days, do you want to
266
00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:11.559
try it again again and again?
No practice cuts the way. Hey,

Please help support us in your donation
today. We all going back today.
281
00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:21.559
Eighties. All right, we're back
here, back to the eighties radio.
282
00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:26.680
This is Toscano from the Dynamic Duo. Well, we were talking about social
283
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:30.920
interaction back in the eighties and how
vastly different it was from today. But
284
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:37.279
another one of the items that go
into social interaction, we're friendships and our
285
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:41.880
hangouts. Back in the eighties,
hanging out with friends meant going to places
286
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:45.960
like what you mentioned. You mentioned
going to malls, playing arcade games together.
287
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:49.960
We went to the movies. Movies
were huge for us. People would
288
00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:56.559
spend hours at malls, trying on
close even just hatching up with friends in
289
00:22:56.680 --> 00:23:02.440
window shopping. And today nonsense,
yeah, was not bro It was nonsense
290
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:07.480
at lescent nonsense, but yet we
were communicating. We were meeting Chisconnell do
291
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:11.759
you remember going to arcades, going
to the mall and then meeting people you
292
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:15.920
didn't even go to school with.
You would gather up phone numbers, what
293
00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:19.680
phone numbers? There would be sometimes
a group of people that you had no
294
00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:23.319
idea who they are, and they're
just looking at you play the arcade game.
295
00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:26.279
And then sometimes you didn't have anything
to write with, so you had
296
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:30.319
to remember the phone number. But
they did a lot of drugs. I
297
00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:33.039
don't remember phone numbers, but they
were a huge part. They were a
298
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:37.720
huge part of our life. You
met up with people with girls, the
299
00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:42.480
girls with guys. What type of
mall did you go to or what mall
300
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:45.599
did you hang out to when you
were young? Go ahead and send us
301
00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:51.000
a little note here at Back to
the Eighties Radio at gmail dot com,
302
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:55.680
and we'd like to hear from you
and let us know what kind of hangouts
303
00:23:55.880 --> 00:24:00.359
did you have back in wherever you
grew up. Nowadays, malls brother are
304
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:06.799
struggling, our ka's are They're pretty
much non existent. They're dying and dying.
305
00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:11.279
People prefer to shop online and play
video games at home, then go
306
00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:17.039
somewhere and have that social interaction.
And I heard from many of the youngsters
307
00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:21.400
saying we have just as much social
interaction, if not more, because now
308
00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:26.440
we play online. What they fail
to recognize is that just talking to somebody
309
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:32.319
on a microphone is not the same
as looking at him, looking at their
310
00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:37.799
faces, talking with him and making
a connection. You don't really do that
311
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:45.240
in a level of playing video games
unless you're always meeting up with that person.
312
00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:48.000
I remember going to malls in Santa
Fe Springs when we were teenagers,
313
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:56.039
and you know, sometimes we'd go
just for the food court and to see
314
00:24:56.039 --> 00:25:00.640
what girls we could pick up on. And sometimes you met girls that you
315
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:03.279
had never seen before. They were
from maybe different high school than where you
316
00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:11.039
used to go to, and you
know, it was just social interaction at
317
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:15.440
its best. And it's just a
shame that as the decades that followed the
318
00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:22.440
eighties, it started dropping, and
because of technology and the convenience, that
319
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:29.279
experience of social interaction is slowly coming
to an end. You know what,
320
00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:33.079
bro, there's a joint that a
lot of catching checkout nowadays. It's called
321
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:37.880
David Busters. I mean, they
got arcade games, the world's most expensive
322
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:41.960
arc Yeah, it's an expensive arcade, but come on, man, don't
323
00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:47.319
knock them down because they are grabbed. They grabbed the concept of what that
324
00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:52.079
generation, which is now the generation
of grandparents and parents too, where that
325
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:57.640
was the vibe. They've crossed food, alcohol, and video games of the
326
00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:02.920
yester years, so they have that
vibe. They've caught the eighties vibe to
327
00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:06.880
stay alive. The other thing I
wanted to point out is trip on this.
328
00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:12.680
You know anybody out there, uh
like, like Mario said, hit
329
00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:17.559
us back with where did you like
to hang out? Give us a name
330
00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:22.440
or a spot in your favorite mall, your favorite store. Oh you're if
331
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:26.039
you found out if you had a
neighborhood arcade, What was the name of
332
00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:30.880
your neighborhood neighborhood arcade? What game
did you dig? Hit us on all
333
00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:37.359
of our social media facets, because
we could not do this show if it
334
00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:41.960
wasn't for you. We've celebrated,
We've done it all in the eighties,
335
00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:51.000
so we definitely want to hear from
you. Tiscano on the fun note Winning,
336
00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:55.039
Yeah yeah, I'm on that drug
right now. Winning. You brought
337
00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:59.880
up your favorite mall, going down
to Santa Fe Springs. We grew up
338
00:26:59.880 --> 00:27:04.839
in the same area. Remember the
Stonewood shot. I remember Stewood. I
339
00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:08.640
used to be outdoor. Now it's
indoor. My favorite mall back then was
340
00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:15.200
Cereto's Mall and Lakewood Mall, So
if you know, Cerritos and Lakewood were
341
00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:18.440
kind of upscale, but they had
the best shops, you know, the
342
00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:25.440
best eateries. But the one thing
I remember I recall was they didn't have
343
00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:30.839
the Arcade or Cerritos the movie theater
that was really big. Well, I
344
00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:37.559
favored the La Puentem Mall because we
had that huge theater, We had slot
345
00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:42.000
cars, we had miniature golf.
I mean, I remember meeting so many
346
00:27:42.039 --> 00:27:48.279
people at the La Puente Mall checking
out the late night twelve o'clock midnight showing
347
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:56.200
of uh, black and Blue Savage. Isn't that Puente Hills Mall? Or
348
00:27:56.279 --> 00:28:00.160
is that the same thing Puente Hills. It's the same place. I forgot
349
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:04.720
the Hills, the reason being it
was built dump, an old dump,
350
00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:12.160
just like the Montabella Mall presently is
built on a former landfill. But let's
351
00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:17.440
get away from the politics. Please
don't make me go. I know that
352
00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:21.279
they filmed Back to the Future at
that La Point them All, that's right,
353
00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:26.200
and a DeLorean cars which ran on
cocaine much like the designer, but
354
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:33.039
that's another story back in the eighties. My point is I missed the word.
355
00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:37.480
I'm so sorry, Lord Tisconnell,
please don't bring out the chrome forty
356
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:44.079
five across the radio consolatory. I
want to give you guys a quick reminder
357
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:48.720
before we continue that you can always
send us a note. If you can't
358
00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:51.960
reach us through our email or if
you forget our email Back to the Eighties
359
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:55.319
Radio gmail dot com. You could
always go to our back to the Eighties
360
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:59.640
Radio Facebook page and send us a
direct message there. You could even go
361
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:03.240
on Twitter or anywhere else to send
us an idea for a topic here that
362
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:06.880
you want to hear, or a
song that you want us to play,
363
00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:12.720
and we'll definitely give you a shout
out as well. Why would the Cerritos
364
00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:19.559
or the Lakewood Mall be of your
favorite as opposed to the Went to Hills
365
00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:25.640
Mall or the Glendale Galleria. Well
well, okay, well let me let
366
00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:29.079
me give it to you this way. My dad used to take me to
367
00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:32.200
two of the main malls, which
was Lakewood and Cerritos, so I got
368
00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:34.039
to spend more time there and I
used to love it for a Christmas time.
369
00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:40.279
Now when I started getting older in
my teenage years, then of course
370
00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:42.960
I would. I would go to
the Glendale Galleria. I would go to
371
00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:47.160
the San Anita Mall, and believe
it or not, one of my favorite
372
00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:51.440
malls was Brayam All because they had
an ice skating rink there and there were
373
00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:56.079
just it was a great hangout.
It was on the second floor where the
374
00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:00.359
food court is today. And I
did go to La Puinte Mall when I
375
00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:06.680
was fourteen years old. My buddy
and I would take his mom's baby blue
376
00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:11.240
Fairmont station wagon with it was baby
blue, oh yeah, yeah, And
377
00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:15.319
we were fourteen years old. He
lived in Elmoni and we would take it
378
00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:21.880
from Elmani on the freeway at fourteen
two La Puinte Mall. Fourteen year old
379
00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:26.359
Sisconnell. What do you think that
car would go for nowadays? As hideous
380
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:30.200
as it was? But it is
cool as it was, you know.
381
00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:34.640
I'm sure that somebody would probably pay
a pretty painting now because of nostalgia.
382
00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:41.359
Nostalgia, but I can't see that
car being worth more than five hundred dollars
383
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:45.319
in great condition today. Didn't me
ask you this? Did you learn how
384
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:52.359
to drive illegally or did you go
with the confinements of taking it in school,
385
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:56.079
no driver's getting it permitted, going
legally, no, no, no.
386
00:30:56.119 --> 00:31:00.079
I learned my dad would put me
so when I was anywhere between ten
387
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:03.240
and eleven years old, he would
put me on his lap and have me
388
00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:06.759
drive the car in the middle of
the street. At ten or eleven years
389
00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:11.160
old, Now that's good. When
I when I was twelve, I was
390
00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:15.640
already driving somewhat with my dad in
the in the passenger seat. Now at
391
00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:22.599
fourteen. At fourteen was the first
time I drove pretty much on my own.
392
00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:27.480
And I remember one night one of
my buddies he had a mini truck.
393
00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:32.559
Remember those mini trucks. They were
very low to the ground, And
394
00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:37.160
I said, mini truck the ones
that were in mini truck clubs, and
395
00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:41.640
they had big speakers and they would
drive by your neighborhood and rattle your windows
396
00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:45.240
with the base. So one of
my friends had one of those, and
397
00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:48.359
he was drunk at a party that
I went with him, and he says,
398
00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:52.000
that way to be. He says, Mario, I can't drive back.
399
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:55.680
You're gonna have to drive. My
friend was twenty three. I'm fourteen.
400
00:31:56.160 --> 00:31:59.480
Yeah, he was twenty three.
I was fourteen. But I always
401
00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:02.279
used to like him because he went
to the best parties, best house parties.
402
00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:05.480
So my friend gets drunk and he
says, you know what, I
403
00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:08.000
can't drive, and you're gonna have
to drive us back, and you know
404
00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:09.960
how to drive stick shift, right, And I go, oh, yeah,
405
00:32:09.960 --> 00:32:14.559
of course, yeah, no problem. But my friend was so drunk
406
00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:17.480
he never noticed how many times that
carstalled on me in the street. And
407
00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:21.720
that night it was early morning,
like two or three in the morning.
408
00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:24.160
I learned how to drive stick shift
at fourteen years old on my own,
409
00:32:24.279 --> 00:32:30.640
just by watching others drive stick shift. So that is the story. But
410
00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:34.039
you know what gets to me,
Chang, is that that was a beautiful
411
00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:37.880
experience. Of those hangouts that we
had, whether it be arcades, whether
412
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:45.359
it be shops, or whether it
be malls, they are practically disappearing today.
413
00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:49.720
There's there's still some malls that are
they get packed, but not to
414
00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:52.920
the extent of what we had before, because, as if we've mentioned many
415
00:32:52.960 --> 00:33:00.680
times, we have exchanged the experience
of all that for the convenience. You
416
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:04.240
know, I wish I would have
been able to teach my girls how to
417
00:33:04.359 --> 00:33:07.880
drive you illegally at a certain age, But you know, my wife was
418
00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:12.039
very strict. And you know my
wife, miss Anna, she's an eighties
419
00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:15.680
lady. Don't get me wrong.
You know when I first my eyes first
420
00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:19.599
bestowed upon her, she reminded me
of Paula Abdul. I would have liked
421
00:33:19.640 --> 00:33:23.559
to have tapped my children how to
do something like that drive illegally at an
422
00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:27.839
early age, but I didn't,
you know why, because I'm sure you
423
00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:30.799
didn't do that with your boys.
And I kind of bended myself and I
424
00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:35.319
kept the hair only. The only
thing from the eighties I kept with my
425
00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:37.759
hair and my bong. But I
totally changed. You know. My kids
426
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:40.680
had to go to driver's head and
they had to do things the right way,
427
00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:45.359
you know what I mean, ten
o'clock and two o'clock, and you
428
00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:49.960
know they had to go every you
know, everything was structured. But I
429
00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:53.200
remember, just like you, I
was fourteen, fifteen years old. Me
430
00:33:53.240 --> 00:34:00.960
and my cousin Bobby used to sneak
my mom's dots in seven to ten wagon
431
00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:07.799
out of our carpoort driveway. We
would push this car out of the carport
432
00:34:07.839 --> 00:34:10.440
and driveway. We would if my
mom was home, we would get the
433
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:15.719
keys with a coat hanger. Remember, the wire coat hanger, which you
434
00:34:15.719 --> 00:34:20.000
could always get in a car when
you locked the keys in there. We
435
00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:23.679
would grab the keys. Was that
I would shake my German shepherd so he
436
00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:29.039
would make noise. My mom would
think it's a dog making noise. We
437
00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:34.320
would snake the key, go out
the back door of the backyard. Let
438
00:34:34.360 --> 00:34:37.400
my dog out to play on the
yard. You know what I mean,
439
00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:42.159
he's making noise. We could push
the car out, push it halfway up
440
00:34:42.199 --> 00:34:45.400
the street, jump in it,
and start it. I was fifteen years
441
00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:50.639
old. My cousin Bobby was sixteen, a year older than me, taught
442
00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:54.039
me how to drive. We were
going to Hollywood. We were going to
443
00:34:58.400 --> 00:35:00.639
we were going to the Puente Hills
all when I was fifteen and I was
444
00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:06.840
driving fifteen years old, and it
was a stick shift. So the very
445
00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:10.480
first vehicle I learned how to drive
illegally, I was fifteen driving a stick
446
00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:16.920
shift. Dotson be too ten,
my brother. So just like you,
447
00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:23.079
we did things that were on the
ordinary to where nowadays it would be devastation.
448
00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:31.559
But not only devastation. Nowadays we
lack the interaction of kids uniting to
449
00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:35.199
think of a game plan like that, correct, my brother, right,
450
00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:38.719
They for the most part, the
ones that I've seen would probably not have
451
00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:42.960
a clue as to where to start
or you know what, not even not
452
00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:46.639
even that. They just don't have
the need. I think the majority of
453
00:35:47.280 --> 00:35:52.920
young boys that I have seen,
because they're friends of my kids, they
454
00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:57.440
didn't even have the need to drive
that urged to drive like what we did.
455
00:35:57.559 --> 00:36:00.320
Yeah, I'll tell you what.
Let's talk more about this subject because
456
00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:06.719
this is our life back in the
eighties, and I want to play a
457
00:36:06.760 --> 00:36:08.920
little bit of something that we used
to hear when we were going to house
458
00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:14.920
parties. This was from nineteen eighty
four Star Point and the object of my
459
00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:29.960
desire on the one and only back
to the eighties radio, you play Lowy

D. Welcome back to Back to the
471
00:40:02.480 --> 00:40:07.039
eighties radio to Scott and Win Changton. We are talking about everything that you
472
00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:13.320
can imagine in the nineteen eighties,
the difference between then and now. I
473
00:40:13.440 --> 00:40:16.239
would have loved to have tapped my
children at a young age to drive,
474
00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:21.400
same with my grandchildren, you know
what I mean. But we had to
475
00:40:21.599 --> 00:40:29.280
change. Isn't it insane that we
have seen that our children cannot even have
476
00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:34.400
the urge to drive or they can
rely on uber No, it's crazy.
477
00:40:34.559 --> 00:40:39.000
Like I was telling you during the
break, some of my boys friends from
478
00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:44.400
school already you know, seniors,
and they just turned eighteen and they don't
479
00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:46.000
have a license yet. And when
you ask them, don't you don't you
480
00:40:46.119 --> 00:40:49.719
want to drive, They're like,
ah, I'll just take an uber.
481
00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:52.840
I don't really need to drive right
now. There is no sense of urgency.
482
00:40:52.880 --> 00:40:53.880
And then you know, I try
to tell them, you know,
483
00:40:54.719 --> 00:41:00.280
One of the biggest accomplishments of any
teenager back in the nineteen eighties was to
484
00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:04.920
be able to drive, to be
able to drive legally, hopefully one day,
485
00:41:05.440 --> 00:41:08.519
but we still did it illegally,
and it was so liberating. There
486
00:41:08.639 --> 00:41:13.559
was a sense of freedom that we
had. It was exactly and it was
487
00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:15.360
such a sense of freedom, you
know what, brother, Whenever I used
488
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:20.280
to drive in the eighties, I
felt there was like it was like a
489
00:41:20.440 --> 00:41:24.639
drug. It was a rush that
we could go anywhere. We felt invincible,
490
00:41:24.760 --> 00:41:30.719
that we could just absolutely drive anywhere
we wanted and we had no idea.
491
00:41:30.800 --> 00:41:35.920
We didn't have the experience that it
took to really handle serious drivers.
492
00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:39.599
But luckily we didn't have stupid people
behind the wheel looking at their phones and
493
00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:45.119
being distracted that way. They were
distracted another way. The one thing that
494
00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:52.440
has not changed is the lack of
sensibility of then and now with teenage driving.
495
00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:58.800
I lost many of friends, especially
my best friend, due to being
496
00:41:59.079 --> 00:42:06.880
under the luence of something and being
behind a motorized vehicle and perishing. We
497
00:42:07.119 --> 00:42:13.440
see that nowadays just as we did
in our generation, and it's sad to
498
00:42:13.639 --> 00:42:21.039
know and think and realize that occurrence
still happens. It doesn't matter the generation
499
00:42:21.800 --> 00:42:25.239
of the mindset. But that is
a problem we still have. What Lord
500
00:42:25.320 --> 00:42:30.920
knows that one day maybe we will
get our grips and not do that these
501
00:42:31.199 --> 00:42:36.079
nowadays, the millennials and even a
little bit older will uber or lived.
502
00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:42.840
Where's the concept of take the bus, take some type of transportation, go
503
00:42:43.039 --> 00:42:47.440
out there and experience. Learn how
to read a freaking roadmap. Now,
504
00:42:47.480 --> 00:42:52.679
Back in the eighties, people didn't
get offended as easily as they do today.
505
00:42:52.199 --> 00:42:57.320
You could tell a joke, you
could use slang without worrying about offending
506
00:42:57.440 --> 00:43:00.599
someone. You could use the name. You could tell people, oh my
507
00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:04.000
gosh, don't be retarded, you
know, or that guy's a retard or
508
00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:07.079
a jerk, or this and that, or you could you can mention people's
509
00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:10.320
ethnicities. You could say, hey, remember that guy in the corner of
510
00:43:10.360 --> 00:43:15.519
the Puerto Rican guy or the Mexican
guy or whatever it was, and people
511
00:43:15.559 --> 00:43:20.400
were not offended. Nowadays, people
are quick to take offense and a lot
512
00:43:20.440 --> 00:43:23.960
of the words and phrases that were
once considered harmless are now considered offensive and
513
00:43:24.239 --> 00:43:29.599
even to the point where they're starting
to call it violence. So it's important
514
00:43:29.639 --> 00:43:32.760
to be sensitive to other people's feelings, of course, but sometimes it feels
515
00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:40.079
like we're walking on eggshells. Chang
that now comedians. Comedians can no longer
516
00:43:40.800 --> 00:43:46.079
be as free as they were to
come up with material because of the fear
517
00:43:46.440 --> 00:43:52.960
of being canceled, because of the
fear, because of the fear of being
518
00:43:53.440 --> 00:44:00.000
called out on and maybe even called
the police on. Or the people who
519
00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:07.119
feel offended will write a letter to
to somebody who they know, or start
520
00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:12.960
of movement or bring it to the
news. And now not even comedians feel
521
00:44:13.960 --> 00:44:19.920
free. The reason I think it
is is because mankind has wrapped up in
522
00:44:20.320 --> 00:44:25.719
self. Even me being a Latino
or being Native American, it was frowned
523
00:44:25.800 --> 00:44:31.079
upon if I made fun of my
own race too sensitive. But then at
524
00:44:31.119 --> 00:44:37.639
the time it was also you could
only perform in front of this crowd because
525
00:44:37.719 --> 00:44:43.920
it's accepted more. You can't take
that material and go to another house of
526
00:44:44.039 --> 00:44:46.679
race, which going to offend everybody. Let me interject you for a second.
527
00:44:46.760 --> 00:44:51.320
And the worst part about it,
brother, is that a lot of,
528
00:44:51.639 --> 00:44:54.360
if not the majority, of the
people who are complaining. For example,
529
00:44:54.440 --> 00:44:59.960
if you talk about your own race, the people who are complaining aren't
530
00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:05.880
from your own race. They are
they're they're not, and they are saying,
531
00:45:05.960 --> 00:45:10.239
well, we're embarrassed for or we're
hurt for that race. Recently on
532
00:45:10.360 --> 00:45:15.719
YouTube, there was a young man
and he went dressed up with Yeah.
533
00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:22.239
He went dressed up with a poncho
and sombrero to Olvera Street in Los Angeles.
534
00:45:22.199 --> 00:45:24.639
I'll be there in a few days. I'll check this out. He's
535
00:45:24.679 --> 00:45:29.719
white and he was dressed this way. And he went with a microphone asking
536
00:45:30.039 --> 00:45:35.400
either you know, anybody who was
not Hispanic, do you think it's offensive
537
00:45:35.480 --> 00:45:37.960
or racist the way I'm dressed?
And the majority said yes. Now,
538
00:45:38.039 --> 00:45:42.800
he went to Mexican people in Olvera
Street and he said, do you find
539
00:45:42.840 --> 00:45:45.880
it offensive the way I'm dressed?
Every single one of them said no,
540
00:45:45.360 --> 00:45:49.880
and that they liked the way he
was dressed. So something, you know
541
00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:52.199
the point you bring about, bro, this is what I'll say in a
542
00:45:52.320 --> 00:45:55.440
nutshell. You know, I hope
I don't offend anybody, but again,
543
00:45:57.000 --> 00:45:59.639
you know what I mean. I
really don't care who I have and I
544
00:45:59.679 --> 00:46:04.920
don't ever say anything to offend anybody. I just say what I feel,
545
00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:07.920
and I feel what I say.
I feel that right now. Society,
546
00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:15.199
no, not society freaking America on
the glimpse of a civil war. We
547
00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:20.800
have forgotten who we are and where
we come from. You know, I
548
00:46:20.920 --> 00:46:23.039
can go out on a limb and
say I know what I am. I'm
549
00:46:23.159 --> 00:46:29.679
seventy three percent Native American. People
have told me to go back where I
550
00:46:29.840 --> 00:46:34.360
came from, from my last name
or the way that I talk, because
551
00:46:34.519 --> 00:46:37.840
you can kind of tell when I
get emotional or I get angry, I
552
00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:43.559
kind of draw back to where I
came from. So I talk the neighborhood
553
00:46:43.639 --> 00:46:49.760
lingal. So it's very funny to
me that so many people nowadays are inferior
554
00:46:50.239 --> 00:46:53.800
bigotry, being bigots, or being
brought out that they're biggots there closet biggots.
555
00:46:54.280 --> 00:47:00.719
So they want to go ahead and
silence everyone so they don't stand out.
556
00:47:00.199 --> 00:47:02.400
You know, a brother, I'm
going to take everybody out with a
557
00:47:02.480 --> 00:47:07.440
song from nineteen eighty from the late
great John Lennon and something that I ponder
558
00:47:07.519 --> 00:47:12.559
in a song that hits my heart
and my soul every time I listen to
559
00:47:12.679 --> 00:47:15.559
it. I'm just sitting here watching
the wheels go round and round, and
560
00:47:15.679 --> 00:47:23.199
so are you write your back to
the eighties radio people say I'm crazy doing
561
00:47:23.320 --> 00:47:36.559
what I'm doing well. They give
mail kinds of wanted to save me from
562
00:47:36.719 --> 00:47:45.119
rude. When I say that I'm
okay, will look and be kind of
563
00:47:45.239 --> 00:47:57.480
strange. Surely you're not happening now, you know plays the game. People
564
00:47:57.519 --> 00:48:08.320
say I'm lazy dreaming my life away? Will it give me all kinds of
565
00:48:08.440 --> 00:48:22.360
advice designed to light me when I
tell that I'm doing Find what your shadows
566
00:48:22.400 --> 00:48:28.239
on the wall? Don't you miss
the big time? Boy? You no
567
00:48:28.519 --> 00:48:38.679
longer around the bar. I'm just
sitting here watching the wheels go around and
568
00:48:38.840 --> 00:48:50.440
round. I really love to watch
the road no longer run on the berry,
569
00:48:50.599 --> 00:49:12.360
go round. I just had to
let it go. People asking question
570
00:49:15.920 --> 00:49:32.719
lost in confusion. Will I tell
them there's not flow, only salutions will
571
00:49:32.760 --> 00:49:37.199
to shake the heads and the look
at me as if I've lost my mind.
572
00:49:38.480 --> 00:49:44.159
I told them there's no hurt.
I'm just sending you doing times.
573
00:49:50.519 --> 00:49:57.280
I'm just sending you watching the wheels
go around and round. I'm really going
574
00:49:57.400 --> 00:50:04.599
to wanting a roll. I don't
love the band, didn't know America.
575
00:50:09.920 --> 00:50:19.239
I just have to let it go. I just have to let it go.
576
00:50:22.320 --> 00:51:05.719
I just have to let it go. Welcome to your life. There's
577
00:51:05.840 --> 00:51:25.000
no time. Even while we stay, we will buying on your mind.
578
00:51:38.719 --> 00:51:52.840
It's my own design, it's my
only help me to the sign, help
579
00:51:52.039 --> 00:52:15.880
me Ma Sid reading. And last
more last, the last time time when
580
00:52:20.800 --> 00:53:21.119
so we spain, so Sid had
made it every mind waste. I can't
581
00:53:21.320 --> 00:53:55.000
stand say that you never never,
never did. While remind want to lead
582
00:53:57.719 --> 00:54:35.079
when chum fears for fears, everybody
wants to world the world nineteen eighty five
583
00:54:35.360 --> 00:54:39.079
Songs from the Big Chair. The
things that were different in the nineteen eighties
584
00:54:39.400 --> 00:54:45.239
and how we compare them with things
today. Another one of those things chang
585
00:54:45.360 --> 00:54:51.760
that was vastly, vastly different from
the nineteen eighties to today. Timeless music,
586
00:54:52.360 --> 00:54:57.960
both the timeless bands, the timeless
songs, the timeless hit singles.
587
00:54:58.480 --> 00:55:04.760
Weak music or well what may we
be? Weak for you? Maybe less
588
00:55:04.840 --> 00:55:09.400
for some others. But I can
tell you that the eighties music scene was
589
00:55:09.480 --> 00:55:15.280
the variety of the genres and styles
that were popular. There was something from
590
00:55:15.559 --> 00:55:21.639
for everyone, from the synthpop of
bands like Depeche Mode and New Order to
591
00:55:21.760 --> 00:55:28.880
the hard rocking chops of Guns and
Roses to White Snake, bon Jovi,
592
00:55:29.400 --> 00:55:36.199
and even and even for some metal
heads with those that love Judas Priest and
593
00:55:36.360 --> 00:55:42.679
Iron Maiden and Ozzie. Hip hop
was also emerging as a genre with iconic
594
00:55:42.840 --> 00:55:45.760
artists like Run dmc l L cool
J, and it paved the way for
595
00:55:45.960 --> 00:55:53.039
the music industry's future chang Never in
history after that has there been another decade
596
00:55:53.159 --> 00:55:59.440
with so many hit singles, timeless
songs that came out of that decade.
597
00:55:59.599 --> 00:56:02.039
I mean, you still listen to
them today and they continue to inspire new
598
00:56:02.079 --> 00:56:09.000
generations of musicians. You only want
to say that music nowadays sucks and you'd
599
00:56:09.119 --> 00:56:15.840
rather listen to Poison and Guns and
Roses and Madonna over anything new that you
600
00:56:15.960 --> 00:56:20.159
got what you got day, right, you know what, Let's go in
601
00:56:20.280 --> 00:56:22.320
and let's let's let's get away from
it. Well, no, because please
602
00:56:22.920 --> 00:56:27.880
please, the whole topic. We're
gonna put on the gloves and you're gonna
603
00:56:27.920 --> 00:56:30.840
put on your Michael Jackson glove already
got it on, my d Snyder glove
604
00:56:30.920 --> 00:56:35.840
on. Let's just end it all
right, this topic. We're not here
605
00:56:35.880 --> 00:56:39.400
to mention every single band, of
course, this is just to talk about
606
00:56:39.880 --> 00:56:45.760
how in the eighties it was so
different because of the variety of music.
607
00:56:45.400 --> 00:56:49.719
And we can talk a little bit
about the variety of music from the eighties.
608
00:56:50.440 --> 00:56:54.880
Damn straight Michael Jackson Jackson five seventies. Okay, this is an eighties
609
00:56:54.880 --> 00:56:59.920
show though, all right. But
nowadays, of course, the music industry
610
00:57:00.159 --> 00:57:04.559
is very different from what it was
week. The variety of genres is still
611
00:57:04.599 --> 00:57:10.559
there, but mainstream music has become
homogenized, with the majority of the sounds
612
00:57:10.840 --> 00:57:16.599
of these songs sounding almost the same. We see fewer hit singles, fewer
613
00:57:16.719 --> 00:57:20.880
songs that stand the test of time, and part of the reason for this
614
00:57:21.039 --> 00:57:25.199
is that the music industry has shifted
to focus on streaming and individual songs rather
615
00:57:25.320 --> 00:57:30.960
than albums, making it harder for
artists to create a cohesive body of work.
616
00:57:31.480 --> 00:57:35.599
I couldn't agree with you more,
sisconell go on with your hate now.
617
00:57:36.480 --> 00:57:37.840
Oh my god, you see how
you set me up for the hate.
618
00:57:38.360 --> 00:57:42.800
I was going to explain something to
you in the rap genre, Okay,
619
00:57:42.840 --> 00:57:45.039
here's a hip hop genre. Have
you not listened to some of the
620
00:57:45.159 --> 00:57:52.960
new artists with their catchy names and
their shocking names, But they rap to
621
00:57:53.159 --> 00:57:59.000
me in an uneducated way. They
really don't tell me a story. But
622
00:57:59.119 --> 00:58:04.280
yet they use a lot of techno
in their voice tracks, so they kind
623
00:58:04.320 --> 00:58:08.119
of all sound the same kind of
They kind of sound a little bit slow
624
00:58:08.320 --> 00:58:14.960
and stupid. Everybody sounds the same. There's nothing to me that sets one
625
00:58:15.119 --> 00:58:20.480
rap artist aside from the other.
I don't hear struggle, I don't hear
626
00:58:20.599 --> 00:58:25.960
positivity. I don't hear using your
music to rise as opposed to what I
627
00:58:27.039 --> 00:58:31.679
recall when rap started and hip hop
started in the eighties with Run DMC,
628
00:58:32.480 --> 00:58:37.960
the Sugar Hill Gang another group from
the seventies. The same with some of
629
00:58:38.000 --> 00:58:43.840
the rock and roll and we're talking
about music and don't get me started with
630
00:58:44.039 --> 00:58:47.800
Rockman today, No, don't get
me started. Rock and roll back in
631
00:58:47.920 --> 00:58:52.679
the day was transformed from the seventies. That's why I mentioned some of the
632
00:58:52.760 --> 00:58:58.880
bands at Chicago, Errolsmith, Judas
Priest, Journey, you know, great
633
00:58:58.960 --> 00:59:02.960
bands, great artist Peter Frampton involved
in the eighties, Robin Trawer. So
634
00:59:04.079 --> 00:59:07.559
many artists came from banned in the
seventies, but they managed to change their
635
00:59:07.639 --> 00:59:14.280
style and coexist in the eighties,
which in the eighties was a all accepting
636
00:59:14.480 --> 00:59:19.360
music business. We could all thrive
on one song or another. Why because
637
00:59:19.400 --> 00:59:22.239
it reminded us of a good time. It's not a secret that I do
638
00:59:22.360 --> 00:59:28.800
not listen to any new rock I
for me, well, I don't listen
639
00:59:28.840 --> 00:59:32.760
to it. Don't ask me too, but I did. And the reason
640
00:59:32.840 --> 00:59:36.039
for that, by the way,
the reason that I don't listen to any
641
00:59:36.119 --> 00:59:38.159
new rock is because to me,
the new rock sounds all the same.
642
00:59:38.920 --> 00:59:44.599
Case in point, I went to
the House of Blues a week a week
643
00:59:44.639 --> 00:59:49.000
and a half ago, I went
to see Miles Kennedy with Alter Bridge.
644
00:59:49.239 --> 00:59:57.039
Okay, okay, okay, more
part to you and Wolf Wolfie was there,
645
00:59:57.159 --> 01:00:00.760
Wolf van Halen was there, van
Halen's son, Eddie van Halen's son.
646
01:00:01.719 --> 01:00:05.440
And there was a band, and
there was a band before this.
647
01:00:06.199 --> 01:00:12.360
They all played well, they lacked
a spiritual variety that rock and roll used
648
01:00:12.360 --> 01:00:17.960
to have. All three bands sounded
the same. Even Wolf van Halen sounded
649
01:00:19.400 --> 01:00:23.719
his music is very similar. Recently, there's an album by the band Extreme
650
01:00:24.480 --> 01:00:28.519
and there's a song called Rise Now. The band Extreme has been around.
651
01:00:29.639 --> 01:00:32.599
Yeah, so the band Extreme has
been around since the eighties. And I've
652
01:00:32.639 --> 01:00:38.320
been listening lately that the next coming
or the guy who's basically taking over Eddie
653
01:00:38.360 --> 01:00:45.280
van Halen's place as the greatest you
know, Shredder is new And I agree,
654
01:00:45.480 --> 01:00:50.079
okay, fine, I agree.
I listened to the song rise,
655
01:00:50.760 --> 01:00:52.559
which is you have to listen to
the song rise. Have you heard of
656
01:00:52.639 --> 01:00:58.559
Chang better than anything they put up
before? Okay, they're more matured.
657
01:00:58.719 --> 01:01:02.679
Okay, I'm glad to think they've
added a lot more to their music,
658
01:01:02.760 --> 01:01:07.760
their maturity or an age. I
can tell you because of the solo that
659
01:01:07.960 --> 01:01:13.280
we used to have in the eighties, nun has brought it back, Yes,
660
01:01:13.559 --> 01:01:15.679
and they are now between the world
of musicians. They are saying that
661
01:01:15.800 --> 01:01:21.960
this is a possibility that rock has
is maybe going to come back to life
662
01:01:22.039 --> 01:01:27.440
the way it used to be.
I loved the solo, but oh my
663
01:01:27.719 --> 01:01:32.559
gosh, they sound like any other
new rock and roll band. You know
664
01:01:32.639 --> 01:01:37.239
what, I have to disagree with
you. It's not the same Miles Kennedy.
665
01:01:37.199 --> 01:01:43.800
There is. It doesn't sound the
variety isn't there. It's just not
666
01:01:44.000 --> 01:01:46.880
there. It's just not there.
It's like I'm listening to to uh,
667
01:01:47.960 --> 01:01:52.920
any of the new bands that you
could see on movies like American Pie.
668
01:01:52.320 --> 01:01:57.119
You know you haven't you haven't opened
your mind yet. No, I've been
669
01:01:57.480 --> 01:02:01.239
open. I've heard the songs,
and you cannot get me to listen to
670
01:02:01.360 --> 01:02:06.159
an entire album. I've I've done
it, and I can tell you what
671
01:02:06.440 --> 01:02:08.400
I don't like it. The variety
is, I'm gonna give you a period.
672
01:02:08.400 --> 01:02:12.239
I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna
give you three names of three la
673
01:02:12.360 --> 01:02:17.599
bands that are now that are badass. All right, close your mind closures,
674
01:02:17.639 --> 01:02:22.920
but you can go turn off,
turn off your headset, all lighting
675
01:02:22.960 --> 01:02:25.880
our listeners, all right, go
ahead, the three bands from southern California,
676
01:02:25.920 --> 01:02:30.519
all right, make a quick change
their mindset from listening to you and
677
01:02:30.679 --> 01:02:38.199
drinking wine. All right and saying, oh, Tabitha, please don't play
678
01:02:38.239 --> 01:02:43.559
any new music. Let's listen to
some bon Jovi. Alright, go get
679
01:02:43.639 --> 01:02:46.480
a little bit frisk and listen to
Rick. It's not just are you ready?
680
01:02:46.519 --> 01:02:50.679
Are you ready for three bands?
Go ahead? But those are your
681
01:02:50.719 --> 01:02:53.480
friends. And I'm not talking about
them. What friends are these? Oh?
682
01:02:53.760 --> 01:02:57.599
Go ahead and mention your bands.
I'm talking about three bands. Go
683
01:02:57.679 --> 01:03:01.000
ahead, put your ears around the
Rivals Sons, Yeah, the Vintage Trouble
684
01:03:01.239 --> 01:03:05.639
That there you go, and Dirty
Honey. Okay, you want to take
685
01:03:05.719 --> 01:03:09.960
a step back the musical greatness and
the aura and the feeling of what it
686
01:03:10.360 --> 01:03:15.280
is to be a band and to
play music, not for money, not
687
01:03:15.519 --> 01:03:23.880
because some scum sucking suit pansy ass
fashion freak wants you to be looking good
688
01:03:24.039 --> 01:03:30.239
next to Katie Perry with her big
boobs, her faked black hair and her
689
01:03:30.320 --> 01:03:36.599
real no talent to be on one
of these Hanish shows that America got talent
690
01:03:37.079 --> 01:03:39.440
and we're on TV, so we
want to see what you look like,
691
01:03:39.920 --> 01:03:45.440
what we can make your voice sound
like, and then we're gonna promise you
692
01:03:45.280 --> 01:03:50.960
the ever so loving world of sex, drugs, rock and roll, nothing
693
01:03:51.079 --> 01:03:55.000
for yourself, turn you out like
a two day hook or business. I'm
694
01:03:55.079 --> 01:04:01.000
talking about those three bands, class
Ball, Guts, and the real essence
695
01:04:01.159 --> 01:04:05.239
of rock and roll. Those bands
that you're talking about, first of all,
696
01:04:05.400 --> 01:04:12.199
are not new bands. No okay, no capacity of what you're talking
697
01:04:12.239 --> 01:04:14.920
about. No, no, no, they're not new bands, and they're
698
01:04:15.000 --> 01:04:19.400
not sounding like like most new rock
is today. I want you to go
699
01:04:19.519 --> 01:04:24.519
at all now exactly. It doesn't
sound at all. So that's what I'm
700
01:04:24.559 --> 01:04:28.119
talking about. So we can't talk. So I'm not don't forget the Black
701
01:04:28.199 --> 01:04:30.679
Crows of the nineties, Well I'm
not. I'm not talking about them,
702
01:04:31.119 --> 01:04:34.400
and I'm not talking about grunge either. That came to ruin everything. So
703
01:04:34.480 --> 01:04:40.639
I'm not talking about that. For
most people that are into rock of today,
704
01:04:40.840 --> 01:04:43.480
more power to you. It's a
free world. Listen to it,
705
01:04:43.960 --> 01:04:46.119
enjoy it, and that's that's say
it. Say it, yeah, go
706
01:04:46.159 --> 01:04:49.440
ahead, you want to. I
want you to show me though. Where
707
01:04:49.519 --> 01:04:54.840
are the new Where are the new
ac dcs? Where are the new Bruce
708
01:04:54.880 --> 01:04:59.280
Springsteen's? Where is the new Queen? Where are the new Tom Pettis?
709
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:03.800
Where is no? Where is the
new Van Valen? Where are the new
710
01:05:03.960 --> 01:05:10.599
Youtub's? The new uh Phil Collins, the new John Cougar, Mellencamps,
711
01:05:10.639 --> 01:05:15.079
the new Pink Floyd's, don't get
ahead of yourself? Where Collins? He
712
01:05:15.199 --> 01:05:18.440
made it in Genesis, he'd be
game pop. You know what, it
713
01:05:18.519 --> 01:05:26.760
doesn't matter, I'm saying. Up
Obviously, obviously you have no idea what
714
01:05:26.880 --> 01:05:30.360
I mean? Yeah, I know, Okay, So where are the new
715
01:05:30.480 --> 01:05:33.880
Arrowsmiths? Where's the new Blondiees?
The new Montley Cruise like they used to
716
01:05:33.960 --> 01:05:39.159
sound at one point, the new
Police? You know they're done suck.
717
01:05:39.480 --> 01:05:44.639
What I'm saying is the eighties had
variety because each one of the bands that
718
01:05:44.679 --> 01:05:46.039
I mentioned, and that can go
on and on and on and on and
719
01:05:46.159 --> 01:05:50.320
on and on, they're all different
from each other in every single way,
720
01:05:51.000 --> 01:05:56.679
and we just don't have that today. You want to see another queen,
721
01:05:57.400 --> 01:06:00.760
then you're going to have to wait. There are out there not not like
722
01:06:00.880 --> 01:06:05.960
you know what. They're not coming
back. They're not coming back. They're
723
01:06:06.039 --> 01:06:10.320
coming back, but you don't want
to see that. Okay, Okay,
724
01:06:10.639 --> 01:06:13.679
yeah, show me when they get
here. On that note, this is
725
01:06:13.719 --> 01:06:18.199

01:18:11.399 --> 01:18:14.880
dollars just in front row to see

rating and review wherever you listen to
us now in studio with me is a
18
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:45.079
man that has more banana rama albums
and posters on his wall than anyone on
19
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:49.000
earth. He has been seen many
times in the nineteen eighties writing a lowrider
20
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:56.599
bicycle with a sidecar and a full
life size poster of the Safety Dance Midget.
21
00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:00.879
Some people call us the ying and
the chant. Welcome back to back
22
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:07.240
to the eighties after a little time
off due to the snow and the storms
23
00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:15.000
that are in your area. Salute
Toscano to my most favorite Italian besides the
24
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:22.080
late great chef Boyard. Everybody out
there, Olah said the one eyed Chola
25
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.639
Toscano tonight. Now, I don't
want to talk about the weather, because
26
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:30.800
yes, ladies and gentlemen, it
was very hard on all of us.
27
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:38.199
Anyone that has ever suffered through wind, rain, snow, sleet, massive
28
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:45.280
hail, bloods, hillside sliding sink
holes, you will know that Mother Nature
29
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:49.360
has not been kind. We've been
away from the microphones for a while.
30
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:54.080
The blizzards were heavy where the chang
is yes, or to five to six
31
00:02:54.159 --> 00:03:00.879
feet of snow. Oh no,
Now, Tuscano sat by the pool.
32
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:05.759
I did, just drizzle. I
did three months. It's so good to
33
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.439
live by the beach. Me and
the boys are out surfing. Well,
34
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:14.840
I was in the sleet and the
snow, in fear that sasquatch would take
35
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:21.960
over my dwelling and eat my pit. Pull and staffy to scot rained by
36
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:28.039
the pool side, eating tuna sandwiches
with the ends cut off. Well,
37
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:32.240
him and the boys swam in the
pool in a heated pool. No,
38
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:37.479
no, no heated pool. Light
drizzle. No, look all right,
39
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.520
so it wasn't like drizzle. I
can't look. It wasn't light drizzle.
40
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:46.360
But we did have about four to
six inches of rain, and I'm drowning
41
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:53.560
in my tears. But we consider
ourselves blessed because of the area where we're
42
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:57.319
at, and we do know that
you you got quite a bit of snow,
43
00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:00.479
but there's a lot of people that
got it even worse are the tornado
44
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:04.840
hit in Oklahoma and many other areas
where it completely wiped out towns. So
45
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:10.599
I do consider ourselves blessed in spite
of everything that that you've gone through,
46
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:13.719
and a lot of people that are
listening to us Chang but don't miss today's
47
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:17.000
show because we are going to be
taking a virtual ride back to our favorite
48
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:21.600
decade and talk about how vastly different
it was and how much better in some
49
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:27.040
ways and not so much in some
other ways. So stick around because this
50
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:30.319
is the one that only Back to
the Ages Radio with the ying and the
51
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:32.439
chang. Nobody has the movie I
want. Hey, if it's on video,
52
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:36.279
Blockbuster probably hasn't. I mean we
have over ten thousand videos. Wow,
53
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:41.040
I'll watching spas have them back tomorrow, I promise, relaxed a Blockbuster
54

evenings, so take home plenty and use
55

Do you have any show rings videos?
56
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:51.759
Sure, Blockbusters America's Family Video Store. You know we have more kids videos
57
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:56.160
than any place else. He more
movies, more night, more fun.
58
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:03.480
What difference, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm Shadow Stevens and you must listen to
59
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:12.560
Back to the Eighties Radio. It's
the law. Welcome back to Back to
60
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:15.639
the Eighties Radio hosted by yours truly
to Scotto and Chan. Today's topic,
61
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.879
it's going to be a little bit
different because it is at the request of
62
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:24.000
our tiversial it can be, but
at the request of many of our eighties
63
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:28.800
family, friends and fans. Oh, we are going to be taking this
64
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:32.560
into various topics that have to do
with how vastly different it was back in
65
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:36.439
the nineteen eighties, the things that
were better and the things that weren't so
66
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.519
cool, if you know what I
mean. But I want to start talking
67
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:44.920
about a subject that has changed so
radically, the face of how we used
68
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.279
to live. And one of the
most significant differences between the eighties and today
69
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:53.399
is the way we interact with one
another. I mean, back then,
70
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:57.319
people were more likely to have a
face to face conversation with someone. They
71
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:00.759
spent more time together in person.
Sure you can say, well, there
72
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:04.079
was no internet, there was no
online Well, there were many distractions still,
73
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:11.199
but we chose to have our social
interactions done in person, sometimes by
74
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:15.759
choice, correct sometimes by a chance, and sometimes we didn't have a choice.
75
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.040
There was no such thing as social
media, and people didn't rely on
76
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:24.199
text messages emojis to communicate in the
eighties. If you wanted to talk with
77
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:28.519
someone, you had to pick up
the phone or see them in person,
78
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:30.560
or you had to write a letter. I mean when you were in high
79
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.720
school, oh, yes, in
the eighties, or in grammar school,
80
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:38.920
if you wanted to get somebody's attention, maybe a girl, or somebody's attention
81
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:42.439
in a class, you wrote a
fricking letter. But that's how we communicated.
82
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:46.680
Do you remember having a buddy or
somebody you knew, a girl and
83
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:50.519
could you get their number for me? And then calling them and then hanging
84
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:55.279
up on them because you were too
shy to listen to their parent or a
85
00:06:55.360 --> 00:07:00.560
brother or another sibling giving you the
high hard one. Why do you want
86
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.439
to talk to my sister? I
mean that was the difference. Nowadays,
87
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:08.720
you can just like get a number
from somebody or look them up on social
88
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:14.199
media. I'll give you, I'll
send you my email and do you know
89
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:17.319
what I mean? Hashtag hashtag hashtag
I'm a woos because I can't come to
90
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:21.120
your face and do it the way
that my parents or my grandparents hooked up.
91
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:27.600
It's intriguing the difference, and it's
crazy because like I have grandkids and
92
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:30.600
they're all about the way that I
just made fun of that we're talking about,
93
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:34.199
you know, they're all about social
media and technology, you know,
94
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:38.600
getting a hold of each other.
You know, but back they would probably
95
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:42.759
think me and you are like fighting
dinosaurs. Off with some freaking sticks or
96
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:46.040
something. Because we didn't have that. You either passed a note or you
97
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:50.879
grew some guts and you went ahead
and you actually communicated with somebody. How
98
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:55.879
many today, both young and older, that have relied so much on the
99
00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:59.920
phone, and I'm talking that part
is on the older folks. The new
100
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:03.560
were kids while they don't know any
different, they're growing up with this.
101
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.279
It surprises me how a lot of
people have lost the art of talking,
102
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:13.680
communicating with one another. We used
to use our own mouth, our own
103
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:18.800
voices to communicate, and now it
seems like we just don't know. And
104
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:24.639
the youngsters today they get lost.
You look at their face and it looks
105
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:30.279
like there's it's a deer in headlights. And I'm not talking about every single
106
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:33.360
one, because there are some youngsters
that are pretty bright, but there's a
107
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:35.600
lot of them. The ones that
I've seen that they're carry their phone everywhere,
108
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.639
and without their phone, they just
don't know what to do. You
109
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.320
know, We've seen these little couples
that sitting at restaurants, they're not even
110
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.759
looking at each other. They're texting. Who are they texting? If you're
111
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:50.879
on a date with a girl or
the girls on a date with a guy.
112
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:54.240
Why would you want to be on
the phone texting someone. You want
113
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:58.399
to be looking at them where they're
into their devices more than they are.
114
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:03.639
The surroundings, right, and the
surroundings are what have to break the individual
115
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:09.759
away from the device. I also
see that typically in family functions and events,
116
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:16.080
because I too fall guilty. When
I've been with my grandchildren, they
117
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:18.440
fall into that, and then I
got to kind of tell them what I
118
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.679
think about that. You know what
I'm saying, and I probably sound like
119
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:26.480
I'm probably riding in to go have
dinner with them on a freaking horse by
120
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:28.440
me telling them, Hey, you
know that's not cool. You know you
121
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:33.480
were with family, you had a
conversation, if you went somewhere, you
122
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.720
gave somebody your undivided attention. That's
called respect. And I've seen families at
123
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:41.759
restaurants where none of the family,
the parents don't look at each other.
124
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:46.480
They're on their phone. I've seen
older I've seen grandparents where either the grand
125
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:48.720
dad or the grandmother is on their
phone. They don't look at each other
126
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:56.279
anymore. What is so gosh damn
important that you can't leave your screen for
127
00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:03.120
the time that you are having dinner. We have been consciously and subconsciously condition
128
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.200
brainwash that our phone is everything.
This is back to the eighties. We're
129
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:11.279
gonna take a little break when we
come back. Entrepreneur, podcaster, content
130
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:16.000
creator Aida Dawson coming up, So
you want to stick around for that or
131
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:20.879
on the one and only Back to
the eighties Radio ten nine, eight,
132
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:35.360
seven, six five, What do
you even? Gentle TV has been heralded
133
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.799
ex fresh and innovative and criticized for
being shallow. When MTV first hit,
134
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:46.519
this was the biggest talk in the
universe. MTV dropped a grenade into our
135
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:54.600
world. Everybody was watching MTV.
People had the radio made international stars almost
136
00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:58.519
overnight. We had no idea what
was going to happen. Because of MTV
137
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:03.679
gave a visual representation to the artist
that they did not have before. But
138
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:18.120
you never looked at music the same
way again, Hey, somebody you remember
139
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:20.919
the eighties vibe? Right? Well, it lives loud and proud. On
140
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:31.360
back to the eighties with my pals
to Scotto and Chay, welcome back.
141
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:35.519
This is back to the eighties radio. As promise, we have Aida Dawson,
142
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:41.399
entrepreneur, business owner, car enthusiast
Race car driver. Oh my gosh,
143
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:43.759
you've done it on Aida. Thank
you for being on back to the
144
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:46.799
eighties. No, thank you so
much. I definitely appreciate that. I
145
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:52.720
know for a fact that you are, let's say, an old soul at
146
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:56.559
heart. You love the older music, and I know you love cars all
147
00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:03.279
across the board. I've noticed that
this newer generation really doesn't know much of
148
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.039
the past generations, and that includes
we're talking the early two thousands, even
149
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:13.480
nineteen nineties, let alone the nineteen
eighties. It's weird we as the older
150
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:18.799
generation, should be teaching the younger
generation about when we grew up, where
151
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:22.960
we grew up, etc. But
why do you think that there's this gap
152
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:26.240
of no knowledge. I mean,
I blame it on us, my generation
153
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:30.639
not teaching the younger generation. But
what do you think it is. I
154
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:35.279
would definitely think it's probably a combination
of, you know, different things.
155
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:39.320
I mean, one it being I
don't know if it's been really passed down
156
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:43.799
from the previous generation to our generations. So in a sense, I think
157
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:46.320
you do have a point there.
But I think the biggest thing is,
158
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:52.240
you know, life has just changed
so much and so drastically from the eighties
159
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:56.960
to the nineties to the two thousands, even up to this point. It's
160
00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:01.120
just so drastically different. And I
don't think that's a fault of anyone.
161
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:03.120
I think it's just the way that
you know, life and the and the
162
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:11.240
generations have continued to roll on.
And uh, you know. I it
163
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:13.639
is funny though, that you mentioned, you know, the difference, because
164
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:18.840
I've spoken to quite a few people
my age. You know, for everybody
165
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:22.399
out there in the audience, I'm
twenty five, you know, I'm half
166
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:28.240
a century old or quarter century old. Oh my goodness, don't try to
167
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:31.759
seem older. That's not going to
work, not with me. Well,
168
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:37.320
I appreciate that, but yeah,
no, I've spoken to a handful or
169
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.759
quite a few people actually who really
value and respect the eighties, and I
170
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:50.559
think that was really the time that
was just so special in terms of upcoming
171
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:56.360
fashion and culture and lifestyle and music. And I think it was really the
172
00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:03.480
beginning of just you know, modern
day life moving forward. That was really
173
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:05.759
the start of it. And I
know there's a lot of people who wish
174
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:09.559
to be back in the eighties.
And you know, all my friend's parents,
175
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:13.000
you know, and people I know
that are of that generation. They
176
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:16.720
loved it. They had the time
of their lives, and you know,
177
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:20.360
they said that the eighties was just
the best to grow up in in all
178
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.480
different aspects. You are one of
the few people that I know personally that
179
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:30.639
actually knows some of the things that
transpired in the eighties, some of the
180
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:33.840
music, some of the artists,
etc. Let me put it to this
181
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.399
way. I was listening to a
conversation between a parent. The child must
182
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:41.080
have looked like ten years old or
something like that. This was at a
183
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:43.120
store, and a stranger walked into
the conversation and said, oh, do
184
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:48.679
you told the little child do you
like so and so toys? And the
185
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:52.200
kids said, no, I don't
have any toys. Every child should know
186
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:56.559
what a toy is, right,
absolutely. I mean, that's that just
187
00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:01.159
boggles my mind. But you know, obviously kind of just shows the gap,
188
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:05.840
you know, between the eighties and
even the really the two thousands.
189
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:11.000
And then of course, now I
think people who did grow up in the
190
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:16.320
two thousands do have a bit more
common commonality with you know, the eighties
191
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:20.440
in terms of just you know,
ethics, morals, you know, the
192
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.279
way of life, you know,
is still somewhat kind of the same,
193
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:30.559
but just different in its own way. But the yeah, that's crazy.
194
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:33.759
I mean, you know, a
ten year old not knowing what a toy
195
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:37.759
is except for the screen. That's
that just boggles my mind. Now,
196
00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:41.759
talking about popular culture, what are
some of the biggest differences between popular culture?
197
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:48.480
Technology is one of them for sure, That's probably one of the biggest
198
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:54.960
differences. I think there's a difference
in how people relate to each other,
199
00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:00.559
you know, and again that kind
of relates back to technology, and also
200
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.639
too, I think it was just
a slower time, like people took more
201
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:07.919
time on deeds, or more time
at the movies, or more time with
202
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:12.080
their families at dinner. You know. It's it's things like that that I
203
00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:18.240
think really is significant in terms of
differences. The pinnacle of technology in my
204
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:23.759
household was cable TV. You know, you had cable TV and satellite By
205
00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:30.919
the way, did you know that
satellite TV was this ginormous, literal satellite
206
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:36.279
dish placed in a backyard like it
was. It was huge. It was
207
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:41.279
a big satellite dish. Once again, I blame it on my generation.
208
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:45.759
I don't blame this new generation for
not knowing how to socialize as we did.
209
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:51.960
My generation saw the advent of everything
technology, and we were so excited.
210
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:55.000
Look when I was going to school, I remember the teachers would say,
211
00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:57.879
someday there's going to be a phone
called a picture phone, and you're
212
00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:00.039
gonna pick it up. It's gonna
have a little screen and you're gonna be
213
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:04.240
able to see the person on the
other side, right, And believe it
214
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:10.359
or not, those phones did come
out, but they were so expensive nobody
215
00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:14.000
bottom like, if you bought one
for like three thousand dollars, that didn't
216
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:15.400
do you any good because you needed
to buy two so you could see the
217
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:18.480
person on the other end and on
the other end. So we had we
218
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:22.480
had no idea, and it was
just a time that even you know,
219
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:26.440
movies would show us how exciting it
was going to be. So we were
220
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:27.720
just like, oh, I can't
wait, I can't wait, I can't
221
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:32.200
wait. But then when it hit
us, we couldn't handle it. We
222
00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:37.480
couldn't handle all this technology at once
for us. And so when the younger
223
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:41.559
generation came out, we taught them
our being out of control, if that
224
00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:44.880
makes sense. We were we got
out of control because we're like, oh
225
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:47.359
my gosh, a screen in front
of me, Oh my gosh, I
226
00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:49.400
have a little pocket computer in that
sense. Yeah, you're absolutely right,
227
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:56.000
so technology and socializing. If you
could travel back, what is one of
228
00:17:56.000 --> 00:18:00.279
the experiences that you would like to
have from back then? Definitely probably going
229
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:07.759
to a nightclub or just to go
dancing at a disco. You know,
230
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:12.160
I think it people back then from
the videos that I've seen and just heard,
231
00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:17.759
you know, the dancing which is
unparalleled compared to today's dancing. And
232
00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:22.279
I think back then people just really
had the groove and they just had you
233
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:27.759
know, the excitements and just you
know, trying new things in the in
234
00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:32.680
the clubs, and you know,
really, like I said, I think
235
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:36.519
they were just the beginning of the
modern role that we know today. I
236
00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:41.640
know that you love music. What
are some of the bands or performers that
237
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:44.319
you like from the eighties? Well, this might be a little bit ahead
238
00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:48.440
of time, but it was still
relevant than Earthwind Fire, of course.
239
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:56.279
Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Prince, the Commodores, love the rhythm.
240
00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:00.359
I do see that it's everything about
the at least for me. What can
241
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:06.319
you tell me are the major differences
between the music that was older compared to
242
00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:11.279
today's music. The lyrics with themselves
are completely different than today's music. You
243
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:15.079
know, there was a lot more
value behind the lyrics back then in the
244
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:19.599
eighties and what people were singing about
rather than today's music. Also too,
245
00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:23.640
I think the beat which was just
unrivaled, you know that the beat of
246
00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:27.960
the eighties was just you know,
I mean we still hear it to today's
247
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:33.519
you know, um in today's world, and it's just there's there's nothing like
248
00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:37.160
it. The amount of upbeat music
and just the funk that the eighties had,
249
00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:42.920
it's just you know, un parallel
and m and also too, you
250
00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:48.799
know, back then people really sane
and performed and like today everything you know,
251
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:52.640
you can make anyone sound very very
good today into yeah auto tune.
252
00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:57.359
Back then, I love it because
people really did, you know, real
253
00:19:57.440 --> 00:20:03.240
performances, and there wasn't all this
technology to you know, clean everything up,
254
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:07.799
and you know, you really got
to see the artists for themselves.
255
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:11.880
You know, if you could go
back and tell someone young back then something
256
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:15.519
about this new generation, anything you
want. It could be something good,
257
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:18.160
it could be something bad, it
could be just what would you tell them.
258
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:23.000
I would tell them that it's far
different, and it's I don't think
259
00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:30.400
it's as um genuine as the eighties, you know, yeah, genuine.
260
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:36.839
I would say, if given one
word, it would be genuine originality.
261
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:40.799
We'll be right back. This is
Back to the Eighties Radio with the young
262
00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:51.799
and talented Miss Aida Dusk. You
remember the first time you tried these games
263
00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:56.680
space fuck with practice? Yea like
man when you first tried and coke and
264
00:20:56.839 --> 00:21:00.720
that you said no, thank you, But hey, let's try coke again,
265
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:06.200
because once you got that new wave
of days, do you want to
266
00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:11.559
try it again again and again?
No practice cuts the way. Hey,

00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:17.359
Please help support us in your donation
today. We all going back today.
281
00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:21.559
Eighties. All right, we're back
here, back to the eighties radio.
282
00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:26.680
This is Toscano from the Dynamic Duo. Well, we were talking about social
283
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:30.920
interaction back in the eighties and how
vastly different it was from today. But
284
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:37.279
another one of the items that go
into social interaction, we're friendships and our
285
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:41.880
hangouts. Back in the eighties,
hanging out with friends meant going to places
286
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:45.960
like what you mentioned. You mentioned
going to malls, playing arcade games together.
287
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:49.960
We went to the movies. Movies
were huge for us. People would
288
00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:56.559
spend hours at malls, trying on
close even just hatching up with friends in
289
00:22:56.680 --> 00:23:02.440
window shopping. And today nonsense,
yeah, was not bro It was nonsense
290
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:07.480
at lescent nonsense, but yet we
were communicating. We were meeting Chisconnell do
291
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:11.759
you remember going to arcades, going
to the mall and then meeting people you
292
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:15.920
didn't even go to school with.
You would gather up phone numbers, what
293
00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:19.680
phone numbers? There would be sometimes
a group of people that you had no
294
00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:23.319
idea who they are, and they're
just looking at you play the arcade game.
295
00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:26.279
And then sometimes you didn't have anything
to write with, so you had
296
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:30.319
to remember the phone number. But
they did a lot of drugs. I
297
00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:33.039
don't remember phone numbers, but they
were a huge part. They were a
298
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:37.720
huge part of our life. You
met up with people with girls, the
299
00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:42.480
girls with guys. What type of
mall did you go to or what mall
300
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:45.599
did you hang out to when you
were young? Go ahead and send us
301
00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:51.000
a little note here at Back to
the Eighties Radio at gmail dot com,
302
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:55.680
and we'd like to hear from you
and let us know what kind of hangouts
303
00:23:55.880 --> 00:24:00.359
did you have back in wherever you
grew up. Nowadays, malls brother are
304
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:06.799
struggling, our ka's are They're pretty
much non existent. They're dying and dying.
305
00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:11.279
People prefer to shop online and play
video games at home, then go
306
00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:17.039
somewhere and have that social interaction.
And I heard from many of the youngsters
307
00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:21.400
saying we have just as much social
interaction, if not more, because now
308
00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:26.440
we play online. What they fail
to recognize is that just talking to somebody
309
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:32.319
on a microphone is not the same
as looking at him, looking at their
310
00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:37.799
faces, talking with him and making
a connection. You don't really do that
311
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:45.240
in a level of playing video games
unless you're always meeting up with that person.
312
00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:48.000
I remember going to malls in Santa
Fe Springs when we were teenagers,
313
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:56.039
and you know, sometimes we'd go
just for the food court and to see
314
00:24:56.039 --> 00:25:00.640
what girls we could pick up on. And sometimes you met girls that you
315
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:03.279
had never seen before. They were
from maybe different high school than where you
316
00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:11.039
used to go to, and you
know, it was just social interaction at
317
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:15.440
its best. And it's just a
shame that as the decades that followed the
318
00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:22.440
eighties, it started dropping, and
because of technology and the convenience, that
319
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:29.279
experience of social interaction is slowly coming
to an end. You know what,
320
00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:33.079
bro, there's a joint that a
lot of catching checkout nowadays. It's called
321
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:37.880
David Busters. I mean, they
got arcade games, the world's most expensive
322
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:41.960
arc Yeah, it's an expensive arcade, but come on, man, don't
323
00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:47.319
knock them down because they are grabbed. They grabbed the concept of what that
324
00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:52.079
generation, which is now the generation
of grandparents and parents too, where that
325
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:57.640
was the vibe. They've crossed food, alcohol, and video games of the
326
00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:02.920
yester years, so they have that
vibe. They've caught the eighties vibe to
327
00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:06.880
stay alive. The other thing I
wanted to point out is trip on this.
328
00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:12.680
You know anybody out there, uh
like, like Mario said, hit
329
00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:17.559
us back with where did you like
to hang out? Give us a name
330
00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:22.440
or a spot in your favorite mall, your favorite store. Oh you're if
331
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:26.039
you found out if you had a
neighborhood arcade, What was the name of
332
00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:30.880
your neighborhood neighborhood arcade? What game
did you dig? Hit us on all
333
00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:37.359
of our social media facets, because
we could not do this show if it
334
00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:41.960
wasn't for you. We've celebrated,
We've done it all in the eighties,
335
00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:51.000
so we definitely want to hear from
you. Tiscano on the fun note Winning,
336
00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:55.039
Yeah yeah, I'm on that drug
right now. Winning. You brought
337
00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:59.880
up your favorite mall, going down
to Santa Fe Springs. We grew up
338
00:26:59.880 --> 00:27:04.839
in the same area. Remember the
Stonewood shot. I remember Stewood. I
339
00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:08.640
used to be outdoor. Now it's
indoor. My favorite mall back then was
340
00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:15.200
Cereto's Mall and Lakewood Mall, So
if you know, Cerritos and Lakewood were
341
00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:18.440
kind of upscale, but they had
the best shops, you know, the
342
00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:25.440
best eateries. But the one thing
I remember I recall was they didn't have
343
00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:30.839
the Arcade or Cerritos the movie theater
that was really big. Well, I
344
00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:37.559
favored the La Puentem Mall because we
had that huge theater, We had slot
345
00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:42.000
cars, we had miniature golf.
I mean, I remember meeting so many
346
00:27:42.039 --> 00:27:48.279
people at the La Puente Mall checking
out the late night twelve o'clock midnight showing
347
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:56.200
of uh, black and Blue Savage. Isn't that Puente Hills Mall? Or
348
00:27:56.279 --> 00:28:00.160
is that the same thing Puente Hills. It's the same place. I forgot
349
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:04.720
the Hills, the reason being it
was built dump, an old dump,
350
00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:12.160
just like the Montabella Mall presently is
built on a former landfill. But let's
351
00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:17.440
get away from the politics. Please
don't make me go. I know that
352
00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:21.279
they filmed Back to the Future at
that La Point them All, that's right,
353
00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:26.200
and a DeLorean cars which ran on
cocaine much like the designer, but
354
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:33.039
that's another story back in the eighties. My point is I missed the word.
355
00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:37.480
I'm so sorry, Lord Tisconnell,
please don't bring out the chrome forty
356
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:44.079
five across the radio consolatory. I
want to give you guys a quick reminder
357
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:48.720
before we continue that you can always
send us a note. If you can't
358
00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:51.960
reach us through our email or if
you forget our email Back to the Eighties
359
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:55.319
Radio gmail dot com. You could
always go to our back to the Eighties
360
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:59.640
Radio Facebook page and send us a
direct message there. You could even go
361
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:03.240
on Twitter or anywhere else to send
us an idea for a topic here that
362
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:06.880
you want to hear, or a
song that you want us to play,
363
00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:12.720
and we'll definitely give you a shout
out as well. Why would the Cerritos
364
00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:19.559
or the Lakewood Mall be of your
favorite as opposed to the Went to Hills
365
00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:25.640
Mall or the Glendale Galleria. Well
well, okay, well let me let
366
00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:29.079
me give it to you this way. My dad used to take me to
367
00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:32.200
two of the main malls, which
was Lakewood and Cerritos, so I got
368
00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:34.039
to spend more time there and I
used to love it for a Christmas time.
369
00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:40.279
Now when I started getting older in
my teenage years, then of course
370
00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:42.960
I would. I would go to
the Glendale Galleria. I would go to
371
00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:47.160
the San Anita Mall, and believe
it or not, one of my favorite
372
00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:51.440
malls was Brayam All because they had
an ice skating rink there and there were
373
00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:56.079
just it was a great hangout.
It was on the second floor where the
374
00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:00.359
food court is today. And I
did go to La Puinte Mall when I
375
00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:06.680
was fourteen years old. My buddy
and I would take his mom's baby blue
376
00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:11.240
Fairmont station wagon with it was baby
blue, oh yeah, yeah, And
377
00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:15.319
we were fourteen years old. He
lived in Elmoni and we would take it
378
00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:21.880
from Elmani on the freeway at fourteen
two La Puinte Mall. Fourteen year old
379
00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:26.359
Sisconnell. What do you think that
car would go for nowadays? As hideous
380
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:30.200
as it was? But it is
cool as it was, you know.
381
00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:34.640
I'm sure that somebody would probably pay
a pretty painting now because of nostalgia.
382
00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:41.359
Nostalgia, but I can't see that
car being worth more than five hundred dollars
383
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:45.319
in great condition today. Didn't me
ask you this? Did you learn how
384
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:52.359
to drive illegally or did you go
with the confinements of taking it in school,
385
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:56.079
no driver's getting it permitted, going
legally, no, no, no.
386
00:30:56.119 --> 00:31:00.079
I learned my dad would put me
so when I was anywhere between ten
387
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:03.240
and eleven years old, he would
put me on his lap and have me
388
00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:06.759
drive the car in the middle of
the street. At ten or eleven years
389
00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:11.160
old, Now that's good. When
I when I was twelve, I was
390
00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:15.640
already driving somewhat with my dad in
the in the passenger seat. Now at
391
00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:22.599
fourteen. At fourteen was the first
time I drove pretty much on my own.
392
00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:27.480
And I remember one night one of
my buddies he had a mini truck.
393
00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:32.559
Remember those mini trucks. They were
very low to the ground, And
394
00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:37.160
I said, mini truck the ones
that were in mini truck clubs, and
395
00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:41.640
they had big speakers and they would
drive by your neighborhood and rattle your windows
396
00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:45.240
with the base. So one of
my friends had one of those, and
397
00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:48.359
he was drunk at a party that
I went with him, and he says,
398
00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:52.000
that way to be. He says, Mario, I can't drive back.
399
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:55.680
You're gonna have to drive. My
friend was twenty three. I'm fourteen.
400
00:31:56.160 --> 00:31:59.480
Yeah, he was twenty three.
I was fourteen. But I always
401
00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:02.279
used to like him because he went
to the best parties, best house parties.
402
00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:05.480
So my friend gets drunk and he
says, you know what, I
403
00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:08.000
can't drive, and you're gonna have
to drive us back, and you know
404
00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:09.960
how to drive stick shift, right, And I go, oh, yeah,
405
00:32:09.960 --> 00:32:14.559
of course, yeah, no problem. But my friend was so drunk
406
00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:17.480
he never noticed how many times that
carstalled on me in the street. And
407
00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:21.720
that night it was early morning,
like two or three in the morning.
408
00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:24.160
I learned how to drive stick shift
at fourteen years old on my own,
409
00:32:24.279 --> 00:32:30.640
just by watching others drive stick shift. So that is the story. But
410
00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:34.039
you know what gets to me,
Chang, is that that was a beautiful
411
00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:37.880
experience. Of those hangouts that we
had, whether it be arcades, whether
412
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:45.359
it be shops, or whether it
be malls, they are practically disappearing today.
413
00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:49.720
There's there's still some malls that are
they get packed, but not to
414
00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:52.920
the extent of what we had before, because, as if we've mentioned many
415
00:32:52.960 --> 00:33:00.680
times, we have exchanged the experience
of all that for the convenience. You
416
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:04.240
know, I wish I would have
been able to teach my girls how to
417
00:33:04.359 --> 00:33:07.880
drive you illegally at a certain age, But you know, my wife was
418
00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:12.039
very strict. And you know my
wife, miss Anna, she's an eighties
419
00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:15.680
lady. Don't get me wrong.
You know when I first my eyes first
420
00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:19.599
bestowed upon her, she reminded me
of Paula Abdul. I would have liked
421
00:33:19.640 --> 00:33:23.559
to have tapped my children how to
do something like that drive illegally at an
422
00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:27.839
early age, but I didn't,
you know why, because I'm sure you
423
00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:30.799
didn't do that with your boys.
And I kind of bended myself and I
424
00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:35.319
kept the hair only. The only
thing from the eighties I kept with my
425
00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:37.759
hair and my bong. But I
totally changed. You know. My kids
426
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:40.680
had to go to driver's head and
they had to do things the right way,
427
00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:45.359
you know what I mean, ten
o'clock and two o'clock, and you
428
00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:49.960
know they had to go every you
know, everything was structured. But I
429
00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:53.200
remember, just like you, I
was fourteen, fifteen years old. Me
430
00:33:53.240 --> 00:34:00.960
and my cousin Bobby used to sneak
my mom's dots in seven to ten wagon
431
00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:07.799
out of our carpoort driveway. We
would push this car out of the carport
432
00:34:07.839 --> 00:34:10.440
and driveway. We would if my
mom was home, we would get the
433
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:15.719
keys with a coat hanger. Remember, the wire coat hanger, which you
434
00:34:15.719 --> 00:34:20.000
could always get in a car when
you locked the keys in there. We
435
00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:23.679
would grab the keys. Was that
I would shake my German shepherd so he
436
00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:29.039
would make noise. My mom would
think it's a dog making noise. We
437
00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:34.320
would snake the key, go out
the back door of the backyard. Let
438
00:34:34.360 --> 00:34:37.400
my dog out to play on the
yard. You know what I mean,
439
00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:42.159
he's making noise. We could push
the car out, push it halfway up
440
00:34:42.199 --> 00:34:45.400
the street, jump in it,
and start it. I was fifteen years
441
00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:50.639
old. My cousin Bobby was sixteen, a year older than me, taught
442
00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:54.039
me how to drive. We were
going to Hollywood. We were going to
443
00:34:58.400 --> 00:35:00.639
we were going to the Puente Hills
all when I was fifteen and I was
444
00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:06.840
driving fifteen years old, and it
was a stick shift. So the very
445
00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:10.480
first vehicle I learned how to drive
illegally, I was fifteen driving a stick
446
00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:16.920
shift. Dotson be too ten,
my brother. So just like you,
447
00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:23.079
we did things that were on the
ordinary to where nowadays it would be devastation.
448
00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:31.559
But not only devastation. Nowadays we
lack the interaction of kids uniting to
449
00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:35.199
think of a game plan like that, correct, my brother, right,
450
00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:38.719
They for the most part, the
ones that I've seen would probably not have
451
00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:42.960
a clue as to where to start
or you know what, not even not
452
00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:46.639
even that. They just don't have
the need. I think the majority of
453
00:35:47.280 --> 00:35:52.920
young boys that I have seen,
because they're friends of my kids, they
454
00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:57.440
didn't even have the need to drive
that urged to drive like what we did.
455
00:35:57.559 --> 00:36:00.320
Yeah, I'll tell you what.
Let's talk more about this subject because
456
00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:06.719
this is our life back in the
eighties, and I want to play a
457
00:36:06.760 --> 00:36:08.920
little bit of something that we used
to hear when we were going to house
458
00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:14.920
parties. This was from nineteen eighty
four Star Point and the object of my
459
00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:29.960
desire on the one and only back
to the eighties radio, you play Lowy

D. Welcome back to Back to the
471
00:40:02.480 --> 00:40:07.039
eighties radio to Scott and Win Changton. We are talking about everything that you
472
00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:13.320
can imagine in the nineteen eighties,
the difference between then and now. I
473
00:40:13.440 --> 00:40:16.239
would have loved to have tapped my
children at a young age to drive,
474
00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:21.400
same with my grandchildren, you know
what I mean. But we had to
475
00:40:21.599 --> 00:40:29.280
change. Isn't it insane that we
have seen that our children cannot even have
476
00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:34.400
the urge to drive or they can
rely on uber No, it's crazy.
477
00:40:34.559 --> 00:40:39.000
Like I was telling you during the
break, some of my boys friends from
478
00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:44.400
school already you know, seniors,
and they just turned eighteen and they don't
479
00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:46.000
have a license yet. And when
you ask them, don't you don't you
480
00:40:46.119 --> 00:40:49.719
want to drive, They're like,
ah, I'll just take an uber.
481
00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:52.840
I don't really need to drive right
now. There is no sense of urgency.
482
00:40:52.880 --> 00:40:53.880
And then you know, I try
to tell them, you know,
483
00:40:54.719 --> 00:41:00.280
One of the biggest accomplishments of any
teenager back in the nineteen eighties was to
484
00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:04.920
be able to drive, to be
able to drive legally, hopefully one day,
485
00:41:05.440 --> 00:41:08.519
but we still did it illegally,
and it was so liberating. There
486
00:41:08.639 --> 00:41:13.559
was a sense of freedom that we
had. It was exactly and it was
487
00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:15.360
such a sense of freedom, you
know what, brother, Whenever I used
488
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:20.280
to drive in the eighties, I
felt there was like it was like a
489
00:41:20.440 --> 00:41:24.639
drug. It was a rush that
we could go anywhere. We felt invincible,
490
00:41:24.760 --> 00:41:30.719
that we could just absolutely drive anywhere
we wanted and we had no idea.
491
00:41:30.800 --> 00:41:35.920
We didn't have the experience that it
took to really handle serious drivers.
492
00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:39.599
But luckily we didn't have stupid people
behind the wheel looking at their phones and
493
00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:45.119
being distracted that way. They were
distracted another way. The one thing that
494
00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:52.440
has not changed is the lack of
sensibility of then and now with teenage driving.
495
00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:58.800
I lost many of friends, especially
my best friend, due to being
496
00:41:59.079 --> 00:42:06.880
under the luence of something and being
behind a motorized vehicle and perishing. We
497
00:42:07.119 --> 00:42:13.440
see that nowadays just as we did
in our generation, and it's sad to
498
00:42:13.639 --> 00:42:21.039
know and think and realize that occurrence
still happens. It doesn't matter the generation
499
00:42:21.800 --> 00:42:25.239
of the mindset. But that is
a problem we still have. What Lord
500
00:42:25.320 --> 00:42:30.920
knows that one day maybe we will
get our grips and not do that these
501
00:42:31.199 --> 00:42:36.079
nowadays, the millennials and even a
little bit older will uber or lived.
502
00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:42.840
Where's the concept of take the bus, take some type of transportation, go
503
00:42:43.039 --> 00:42:47.440
out there and experience. Learn how
to read a freaking roadmap. Now,
504
00:42:47.480 --> 00:42:52.679
Back in the eighties, people didn't
get offended as easily as they do today.
505
00:42:52.199 --> 00:42:57.320
You could tell a joke, you
could use slang without worrying about offending
506
00:42:57.440 --> 00:43:00.599
someone. You could use the name. You could tell people, oh my
507
00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:04.000
gosh, don't be retarded, you
know, or that guy's a retard or
508
00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:07.079
a jerk, or this and that, or you could you can mention people's
509
00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:10.320
ethnicities. You could say, hey, remember that guy in the corner of
510
00:43:10.360 --> 00:43:15.519
the Puerto Rican guy or the Mexican
guy or whatever it was, and people
511
00:43:15.559 --> 00:43:20.400
were not offended. Nowadays, people
are quick to take offense and a lot
512
00:43:20.440 --> 00:43:23.960
of the words and phrases that were
once considered harmless are now considered offensive and
513
00:43:24.239 --> 00:43:29.599
even to the point where they're starting
to call it violence. So it's important
514
00:43:29.639 --> 00:43:32.760
to be sensitive to other people's feelings, of course, but sometimes it feels
515
00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:40.079
like we're walking on eggshells. Chang
that now comedians. Comedians can no longer
516
00:43:40.800 --> 00:43:46.079
be as free as they were to
come up with material because of the fear
517
00:43:46.440 --> 00:43:52.960
of being canceled, because of the
fear, because of the fear of being
518
00:43:53.440 --> 00:44:00.000
called out on and maybe even called
the police on. Or the people who
519
00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:07.119
feel offended will write a letter to
to somebody who they know, or start
520
00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:12.960
of movement or bring it to the
news. And now not even comedians feel
521
00:44:13.960 --> 00:44:19.920
free. The reason I think it
is is because mankind has wrapped up in
522
00:44:20.320 --> 00:44:25.719
self. Even me being a Latino
or being Native American, it was frowned
523
00:44:25.800 --> 00:44:31.079
upon if I made fun of my
own race too sensitive. But then at
524
00:44:31.119 --> 00:44:37.639
the time it was also you could
only perform in front of this crowd because
525
00:44:37.719 --> 00:44:43.920
it's accepted more. You can't take
that material and go to another house of
526
00:44:44.039 --> 00:44:46.679
race, which going to offend everybody. Let me interject you for a second.
527
00:44:46.760 --> 00:44:51.320
And the worst part about it,
brother, is that a lot of,
528
00:44:51.639 --> 00:44:54.360
if not the majority, of the
people who are complaining. For example,
529
00:44:54.440 --> 00:44:59.960
if you talk about your own race, the people who are complaining aren't
530
00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:05.880
from your own race. They are
they're they're not, and they are saying,
531
00:45:05.960 --> 00:45:10.239
well, we're embarrassed for or we're
hurt for that race. Recently on
532
00:45:10.360 --> 00:45:15.719
YouTube, there was a young man
and he went dressed up with Yeah.
533
00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:22.239
He went dressed up with a poncho
and sombrero to Olvera Street in Los Angeles.
534
00:45:22.199 --> 00:45:24.639
I'll be there in a few days. I'll check this out. He's
535
00:45:24.679 --> 00:45:29.719
white and he was dressed this way. And he went with a microphone asking
536
00:45:30.039 --> 00:45:35.400
either you know, anybody who was
not Hispanic, do you think it's offensive
537
00:45:35.480 --> 00:45:37.960
or racist the way I'm dressed?
And the majority said yes. Now,
538
00:45:38.039 --> 00:45:42.800
he went to Mexican people in Olvera
Street and he said, do you find
539
00:45:42.840 --> 00:45:45.880
it offensive the way I'm dressed?
Every single one of them said no,
540
00:45:45.360 --> 00:45:49.880
and that they liked the way he
was dressed. So something, you know
541
00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:52.199
the point you bring about, bro, this is what I'll say in a
542
00:45:52.320 --> 00:45:55.440
nutshell. You know, I hope
I don't offend anybody, but again,
543
00:45:57.000 --> 00:45:59.639
you know what I mean. I
really don't care who I have and I
544
00:45:59.679 --> 00:46:04.920
don't ever say anything to offend anybody. I just say what I feel,
545
00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:07.920
and I feel what I say.
I feel that right now. Society,
546
00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:15.199
no, not society freaking America on
the glimpse of a civil war. We
547
00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:20.800
have forgotten who we are and where
we come from. You know, I
548
00:46:20.920 --> 00:46:23.039
can go out on a limb and
say I know what I am. I'm
549
00:46:23.159 --> 00:46:29.679
seventy three percent Native American. People
have told me to go back where I
550
00:46:29.840 --> 00:46:34.360
came from, from my last name
or the way that I talk, because
551
00:46:34.519 --> 00:46:37.840
you can kind of tell when I
get emotional or I get angry, I
552
00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:43.559
kind of draw back to where I
came from. So I talk the neighborhood
553
00:46:43.639 --> 00:46:49.760
lingal. So it's very funny to
me that so many people nowadays are inferior
554
00:46:50.239 --> 00:46:53.800
bigotry, being bigots, or being
brought out that they're biggots there closet biggots.
555
00:46:54.280 --> 00:47:00.719
So they want to go ahead and
silence everyone so they don't stand out.
556
00:47:00.199 --> 00:47:02.400
You know, a brother, I'm
going to take everybody out with a
557
00:47:02.480 --> 00:47:07.440
song from nineteen eighty from the late
great John Lennon and something that I ponder
558
00:47:07.519 --> 00:47:12.559
in a song that hits my heart
and my soul every time I listen to
559
00:47:12.679 --> 00:47:15.559
it. I'm just sitting here watching
the wheels go round and round, and
560
00:47:15.679 --> 00:47:23.199
so are you write your back to
the eighties radio people say I'm crazy doing
561
00:47:23.320 --> 00:47:36.559
what I'm doing well. They give
mail kinds of wanted to save me from
562
00:47:36.719 --> 00:47:45.119
rude. When I say that I'm
okay, will look and be kind of
563
00:47:45.239 --> 00:47:57.480
strange. Surely you're not happening now, you know plays the game. People
564
00:47:57.519 --> 00:48:08.320
say I'm lazy dreaming my life away? Will it give me all kinds of
565
00:48:08.440 --> 00:48:22.360
advice designed to light me when I
tell that I'm doing Find what your shadows
566
00:48:22.400 --> 00:48:28.239
on the wall? Don't you miss
the big time? Boy? You no
567
00:48:28.519 --> 00:48:38.679
longer around the bar. I'm just
sitting here watching the wheels go around and
568
00:48:38.840 --> 00:48:50.440
round. I really love to watch
the road no longer run on the berry,
569
00:48:50.599 --> 00:49:12.360
go round. I just had to
let it go. People asking question
570
00:49:15.920 --> 00:49:32.719
lost in confusion. Will I tell
them there's not flow, only salutions will
571
00:49:32.760 --> 00:49:37.199
to shake the heads and the look
at me as if I've lost my mind.
572
00:49:38.480 --> 00:49:44.159
I told them there's no hurt.
I'm just sending you doing times.
573
00:49:50.519 --> 00:49:57.280
I'm just sending you watching the wheels
go around and round. I'm really going
574
00:49:57.400 --> 00:50:04.599
to wanting a roll. I don't
love the band, didn't know America.
575
00:50:09.920 --> 00:50:19.239
I just have to let it go. I just have to let it go.
576
00:50:22.320 --> 00:51:05.719
I just have to let it go. Welcome to your life. There's
577
00:51:05.840 --> 00:51:25.000
no time. Even while we stay, we will buying on your mind.
578
00:51:38.719 --> 00:51:52.840
It's my own design, it's my
only help me to the sign, help
579
00:51:52.039 --> 00:52:15.880
me Ma Sid reading. And last
more last, the last time time when
580
00:52:20.800 --> 00:53:21.119
so we spain, so Sid had
made it every mind waste. I can't
581
00:53:21.320 --> 00:53:55.000
stand say that you never never,
never did. While remind want to lead
582
00:53:57.719 --> 00:54:35.079
when chum fears for fears, everybody
wants to world the world nineteen eighty five
583
00:54:35.360 --> 00:54:39.079
Songs from the Big Chair. The
things that were different in the nineteen eighties
584
00:54:39.400 --> 00:54:45.239
and how we compare them with things
today. Another one of those things chang
585
00:54:45.360 --> 00:54:51.760
that was vastly, vastly different from
the nineteen eighties to today. Timeless music,
586
00:54:52.360 --> 00:54:57.960
both the timeless bands, the timeless
songs, the timeless hit singles.
587
00:54:58.480 --> 00:55:04.760
Weak music or well what may we
be? Weak for you? Maybe less
588
00:55:04.840 --> 00:55:09.400
for some others. But I can
tell you that the eighties music scene was
589
00:55:09.480 --> 00:55:15.280
the variety of the genres and styles
that were popular. There was something from
590
00:55:15.559 --> 00:55:21.639
for everyone, from the synthpop of
bands like Depeche Mode and New Order to
591
00:55:21.760 --> 00:55:28.880
the hard rocking chops of Guns and
Roses to White Snake, bon Jovi,
592
00:55:29.400 --> 00:55:36.199
and even and even for some metal
heads with those that love Judas Priest and
593
00:55:36.360 --> 00:55:42.679
Iron Maiden and Ozzie. Hip hop
was also emerging as a genre with iconic
594
00:55:42.840 --> 00:55:45.760
artists like Run dmc l L cool
J, and it paved the way for
595
00:55:45.960 --> 00:55:53.039
the music industry's future chang Never in
history after that has there been another decade
596
00:55:53.159 --> 00:55:59.440
with so many hit singles, timeless
songs that came out of that decade.
597
00:55:59.599 --> 00:56:02.039
I mean, you still listen to
them today and they continue to inspire new
598
00:56:02.079 --> 00:56:09.000
generations of musicians. You only want
to say that music nowadays sucks and you'd
599
00:56:09.119 --> 00:56:15.840
rather listen to Poison and Guns and
Roses and Madonna over anything new that you
600
00:56:15.960 --> 00:56:20.159
got what you got day, right, you know what, Let's go in
601
00:56:20.280 --> 00:56:22.320
and let's let's let's get away from
it. Well, no, because please
602
00:56:22.920 --> 00:56:27.880
please, the whole topic. We're
gonna put on the gloves and you're gonna
603
00:56:27.920 --> 00:56:30.840
put on your Michael Jackson glove already
got it on, my d Snyder glove
604
00:56:30.920 --> 00:56:35.840
on. Let's just end it all
right, this topic. We're not here
605
00:56:35.880 --> 00:56:39.400
to mention every single band, of
course, this is just to talk about
606
00:56:39.880 --> 00:56:45.760
how in the eighties it was so
different because of the variety of music.
607
00:56:45.400 --> 00:56:49.719
And we can talk a little bit
about the variety of music from the eighties.
608
00:56:50.440 --> 00:56:54.880
Damn straight Michael Jackson Jackson five seventies. Okay, this is an eighties
609
00:56:54.880 --> 00:56:59.920
show though, all right. But
nowadays, of course, the music industry
610
00:57:00.159 --> 00:57:04.559
is very different from what it was
week. The variety of genres is still
611
00:57:04.599 --> 00:57:10.559
there, but mainstream music has become
homogenized, with the majority of the sounds
612
00:57:10.840 --> 00:57:16.599
of these songs sounding almost the same. We see fewer hit singles, fewer
613
00:57:16.719 --> 00:57:20.880
songs that stand the test of time, and part of the reason for this
614
00:57:21.039 --> 00:57:25.199
is that the music industry has shifted
to focus on streaming and individual songs rather
615
00:57:25.320 --> 00:57:30.960
than albums, making it harder for
artists to create a cohesive body of work.
616
00:57:31.480 --> 00:57:35.599
I couldn't agree with you more,
sisconell go on with your hate now.
617
00:57:36.480 --> 00:57:37.840
Oh my god, you see how
you set me up for the hate.
618
00:57:38.360 --> 00:57:42.800
I was going to explain something to
you in the rap genre, Okay,
619
00:57:42.840 --> 00:57:45.039
here's a hip hop genre. Have
you not listened to some of the
620
00:57:45.159 --> 00:57:52.960
new artists with their catchy names and
their shocking names, But they rap to
621
00:57:53.159 --> 00:57:59.000
me in an uneducated way. They
really don't tell me a story. But
622
00:57:59.119 --> 00:58:04.280
yet they use a lot of techno
in their voice tracks, so they kind
623
00:58:04.320 --> 00:58:08.119
of all sound the same kind of
They kind of sound a little bit slow
624
00:58:08.320 --> 00:58:14.960
and stupid. Everybody sounds the same. There's nothing to me that sets one
625
00:58:15.119 --> 00:58:20.480
rap artist aside from the other.
I don't hear struggle, I don't hear
626
00:58:20.599 --> 00:58:25.960
positivity. I don't hear using your
music to rise as opposed to what I
627
00:58:27.039 --> 00:58:31.679
recall when rap started and hip hop
started in the eighties with Run DMC,
628
00:58:32.480 --> 00:58:37.960
the Sugar Hill Gang another group from
the seventies. The same with some of
629
00:58:38.000 --> 00:58:43.840
the rock and roll and we're talking
about music and don't get me started with
630
00:58:44.039 --> 00:58:47.800
Rockman today, No, don't get
me started. Rock and roll back in
631
00:58:47.920 --> 00:58:52.679
the day was transformed from the seventies. That's why I mentioned some of the
632
00:58:52.760 --> 00:58:58.880
bands at Chicago, Errolsmith, Judas
Priest, Journey, you know, great
633
00:58:58.960 --> 00:59:02.960
bands, great artist Peter Frampton involved
in the eighties, Robin Trawer. So
634
00:59:04.079 --> 00:59:07.559
many artists came from banned in the
seventies, but they managed to change their
635
00:59:07.639 --> 00:59:14.280
style and coexist in the eighties,
which in the eighties was a all accepting
636
00:59:14.480 --> 00:59:19.360
music business. We could all thrive
on one song or another. Why because
637
00:59:19.400 --> 00:59:22.239
it reminded us of a good time. It's not a secret that I do
638
00:59:22.360 --> 00:59:28.800
not listen to any new rock I
for me, well, I don't listen
639
00:59:28.840 --> 00:59:32.760
to it. Don't ask me too, but I did. And the reason
640
00:59:32.840 --> 00:59:36.039
for that, by the way,
the reason that I don't listen to any
641
00:59:36.119 --> 00:59:38.159
new rock is because to me,
the new rock sounds all the same.
642
00:59:38.920 --> 00:59:44.599
Case in point, I went to
the House of Blues a week a week
643
00:59:44.639 --> 00:59:49.000
and a half ago, I went
to see Miles Kennedy with Alter Bridge.
644
00:59:49.239 --> 00:59:57.039
Okay, okay, okay, more
part to you and Wolf Wolfie was there,
645
00:59:57.159 --> 01:00:00.760
Wolf van Halen was there, van
Halen's son, Eddie van Halen's son.
646
01:00:01.719 --> 01:00:05.440
And there was a band, and
there was a band before this.
647
01:00:06.199 --> 01:00:12.360
They all played well, they lacked
a spiritual variety that rock and roll used
648
01:00:12.360 --> 01:00:17.960
to have. All three bands sounded
the same. Even Wolf van Halen sounded
649
01:00:19.400 --> 01:00:23.719
his music is very similar. Recently, there's an album by the band Extreme
650
01:00:24.480 --> 01:00:28.519
and there's a song called Rise Now. The band Extreme has been around.
651
01:00:29.639 --> 01:00:32.599
Yeah, so the band Extreme has
been around since the eighties. And I've
652
01:00:32.639 --> 01:00:38.320
been listening lately that the next coming
or the guy who's basically taking over Eddie
653
01:00:38.360 --> 01:00:45.280
van Halen's place as the greatest you
know, Shredder is new And I agree,
654
01:00:45.480 --> 01:00:50.079
okay, fine, I agree.
I listened to the song rise,
655
01:00:50.760 --> 01:00:52.559
which is you have to listen to
the song rise. Have you heard of
656
01:00:52.639 --> 01:00:58.559
Chang better than anything they put up
before? Okay, they're more matured.
657
01:00:58.719 --> 01:01:02.679
Okay, I'm glad to think they've
added a lot more to their music,
658
01:01:02.760 --> 01:01:07.760
their maturity or an age. I
can tell you because of the solo that
659
01:01:07.960 --> 01:01:13.280
we used to have in the eighties, nun has brought it back, Yes,
660
01:01:13.559 --> 01:01:15.679
and they are now between the world
of musicians. They are saying that
661
01:01:15.800 --> 01:01:21.960
this is a possibility that rock has
is maybe going to come back to life
662
01:01:22.039 --> 01:01:27.440
the way it used to be.
I loved the solo, but oh my
663
01:01:27.719 --> 01:01:32.559
gosh, they sound like any other
new rock and roll band. You know
664
01:01:32.639 --> 01:01:37.239
what, I have to disagree with
you. It's not the same Miles Kennedy.
665
01:01:37.199 --> 01:01:43.800
There is. It doesn't sound the
variety isn't there. It's just not
666
01:01:44.000 --> 01:01:46.880
there. It's just not there.
It's like I'm listening to to uh,
667
01:01:47.960 --> 01:01:52.920
any of the new bands that you
could see on movies like American Pie.
668
01:01:52.320 --> 01:01:57.119
You know you haven't you haven't opened
your mind yet. No, I've been
669
01:01:57.480 --> 01:02:01.239
open. I've heard the songs,
and you cannot get me to listen to
670
01:02:01.360 --> 01:02:06.159
an entire album. I've I've done
it, and I can tell you what
671
01:02:06.440 --> 01:02:08.400
I don't like it. The variety
is, I'm gonna give you a period.
672
01:02:08.400 --> 01:02:12.239
I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna
give you three names of three la
673
01:02:12.360 --> 01:02:17.599
bands that are now that are badass. All right, close your mind closures,
674
01:02:17.639 --> 01:02:22.920
but you can go turn off,
turn off your headset, all lighting
675
01:02:22.960 --> 01:02:25.880
our listeners, all right, go
ahead, the three bands from southern California,
676
01:02:25.920 --> 01:02:30.519
all right, make a quick change
their mindset from listening to you and
677
01:02:30.679 --> 01:02:38.199
drinking wine. All right and saying, oh, Tabitha, please don't play
678
01:02:38.239 --> 01:02:43.559
any new music. Let's listen to
some bon Jovi. Alright, go get
679
01:02:43.639 --> 01:02:46.480
a little bit frisk and listen to
Rick. It's not just are you ready?
680
01:02:46.519 --> 01:02:50.679
Are you ready for three bands?
Go ahead? But those are your
681
01:02:50.719 --> 01:02:53.480
friends. And I'm not talking about
them. What friends are these? Oh?
682
01:02:53.760 --> 01:02:57.599
Go ahead and mention your bands.
I'm talking about three bands. Go
683
01:02:57.679 --> 01:03:01.000
ahead, put your ears around the
Rivals Sons, Yeah, the Vintage Trouble
684
01:03:01.239 --> 01:03:05.639
That there you go, and Dirty
Honey. Okay, you want to take
685
01:03:05.719 --> 01:03:09.960
a step back the musical greatness and
the aura and the feeling of what it
686
01:03:10.360 --> 01:03:15.280
is to be a band and to
play music, not for money, not
687
01:03:15.519 --> 01:03:23.880
because some scum sucking suit pansy ass
fashion freak wants you to be looking good
688
01:03:24.039 --> 01:03:30.239
next to Katie Perry with her big
boobs, her faked black hair and her
689
01:03:30.320 --> 01:03:36.599
real no talent to be on one
of these Hanish shows that America got talent
690
01:03:37.079 --> 01:03:39.440
and we're on TV, so we
want to see what you look like,
691
01:03:39.920 --> 01:03:45.440
what we can make your voice sound
like, and then we're gonna promise you
692
01:03:45.280 --> 01:03:50.960
the ever so loving world of sex, drugs, rock and roll, nothing
693
01:03:51.079 --> 01:03:55.000
for yourself, turn you out like
a two day hook or business. I'm
694
01:03:55.079 --> 01:04:01.000
talking about those three bands, class
Ball, Guts, and the real essence
695
01:04:01.159 --> 01:04:05.239
of rock and roll. Those bands
that you're talking about, first of all,
696
01:04:05.400 --> 01:04:12.199
are not new bands. No okay, no capacity of what you're talking
697
01:04:12.239 --> 01:04:14.920
about. No, no, no, they're not new bands, and they're
698
01:04:15.000 --> 01:04:19.400
not sounding like like most new rock
is today. I want you to go
699
01:04:19.519 --> 01:04:24.519
at all now exactly. It doesn't
sound at all. So that's what I'm
700
01:04:24.559 --> 01:04:28.119
talking about. So we can't talk. So I'm not don't forget the Black
701
01:04:28.199 --> 01:04:30.679
Crows of the nineties, Well I'm
not. I'm not talking about them,
702
01:04:31.119 --> 01:04:34.400
and I'm not talking about grunge either. That came to ruin everything. So
703
01:04:34.480 --> 01:04:40.639
I'm not talking about that. For
most people that are into rock of today,
704
01:04:40.840 --> 01:04:43.480
more power to you. It's a
free world. Listen to it,
705
01:04:43.960 --> 01:04:46.119
enjoy it, and that's that's say
it. Say it, yeah, go
706
01:04:46.159 --> 01:04:49.440
ahead, you want to. I
want you to show me though. Where
707
01:04:49.519 --> 01:04:54.840
are the new Where are the new
ac dcs? Where are the new Bruce
708
01:04:54.880 --> 01:04:59.280
Springsteen's? Where is the new Queen? Where are the new Tom Pettis?
709
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:03.800
Where is no? Where is the
new Van Valen? Where are the new
710
01:05:03.960 --> 01:05:10.599
Youtub's? The new uh Phil Collins, the new John Cougar, Mellencamps,
711
01:05:10.639 --> 01:05:15.079
the new Pink Floyd's, don't get
ahead of yourself? Where Collins? He
712
01:05:15.199 --> 01:05:18.440
made it in Genesis, he'd be
game pop. You know what, it
713
01:05:18.519 --> 01:05:26.760
doesn't matter, I'm saying. Up
Obviously, obviously you have no idea what
714
01:05:26.880 --> 01:05:30.360
I mean? Yeah, I know, Okay, So where are the new
715
01:05:30.480 --> 01:05:33.880
Arrowsmiths? Where's the new Blondiees?
The new Montley Cruise like they used to
716
01:05:33.960 --> 01:05:39.159
sound at one point, the new
Police? You know they're done suck.
717
01:05:39.480 --> 01:05:44.639
What I'm saying is the eighties had
variety because each one of the bands that
718
01:05:44.679 --> 01:05:46.039
I mentioned, and that can go
on and on and on and on and
719
01:05:46.159 --> 01:05:50.320
on and on, they're all different
from each other in every single way,
720
01:05:51.000 --> 01:05:56.679
and we just don't have that today. You want to see another queen,
721
01:05:57.400 --> 01:06:00.760
then you're going to have to wait. There are out there not not like
722
01:06:00.880 --> 01:06:05.960
you know what. They're not coming
back. They're not coming back. They're
723
01:06:06.039 --> 01:06:10.320
coming back, but you don't want
to see that. Okay, Okay,
724
01:06:10.639 --> 01:06:13.679
yeah, show me when they get
here. On that note, this is
725
