00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:47.120
about a podcast called Too Legitimate to
Quit with host Annie p Ruggles. Annie

83
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:51.319
started the show because entrepreneurship is beautiful, but at the same time, it's

84
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:56.480
a horrible marathon and it's hard to
stay motivated. So that's why Annie is

85
00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:01.120
running a pop culture small business strategy
show to prove that inspiration is everywhere.

86
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:04.360
Now, what can you expect as
a listener when you're tuning in, Well,

87
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:09.720
that's easy. The show provides instantly
actionable small business marketing, sales,

88
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:14.720
and mindset strategies. So eighties lovers
will especially love the Back to the Future

89

murder she wrote, Revenge of the
Nerds, Uncle Buck Coming to America,

into the nineteen eighties. You are

00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:24.800
have a very special guest who is
going to take you that much deeper into

102
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:31.800
the minds and memories that made you
smile before all the bs of adulthood,

103
00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:37.360
before your children bothered you, before
the alimony checks had to go out.

104
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:45.679
Welcome mister Dave Zamora. That was
amazing. I've never had a grand interance

105
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:46.679
like that, red carpet. Thank
you, veryman. For those of you

106
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:50.679
who just joined us here, Back
to the eighties, Radio We've got Dave

107
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.080
Zamora from Dave's Archives. You know
him from YouTube. He's got a big

108
00:08:54.159 --> 00:09:00.200
channel on YouTube where they transfer the
archive. They're preserved classic memories commercial from

109
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:03.279
the seventies, eighties, and nineties, and they basically share with all of

110
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:07.519
us. So we're very fortunate to
have somebody like him pioneering something like this.

111
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:13.159
I was watching the movie Demolition Man
with Stallone and Wesley Snipes. So

112
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:18.759
there's a scene in there where Sandra
Bullock is in the car and she and

113
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:24.639
her co worker other police officer,
they're singing commercials. I started thinking what

114
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.919
we used to hate back in the
eighties, Because if there's one thing we

115
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:33.519
hated, we're commercials. I mean, we despise them. And lo and

116
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:37.720
behold. Now for all of us
who like to reminisce about the nineteen eighties,

117
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.320
Dave from Dave's Archives has brought those
memories back and now we are fulfilling

118
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:46.559
the prophecy of the movie Demolition Man. It's definitely a trip. It's been

119
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.440
a journey, but it's definitely a
trip. Every time I crack open a

120
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:54.080
VHS tape and I start unloading its
contents, it's every time it's like,

121
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:56.679
oh man, I remember that.
Oh what am I going to find this

122
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:01.639
time? You know? And I
absolutely love it. I never funny thing

123
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:07.200
is I've been doing this for what
ten eleven years? It just it doesn't

124
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:09.600
it really doesn't get old. And
I love I just love seeing this old

125
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:13.639
stuff. Man, it's awesome.
You know. You never would thought commercials,

126
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.600
you know, and when you start
seeing them, it's like, Okay,

127
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:20.240
I'm gonna look for old shows that
you know, maybe I remember these

128
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:22.519
old shows, man, maybe some
Saturday Morning cartoons or something. Maybe I'll

129
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.120
get lucky. And then you see
the ads and you're like, wait,

130
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.679
wait, hold up, hold up, I'm not going to fast forth through

131
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:31.320
these ads. I actually remember these
ads. This is freaking awesome. It's

132
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.600
pretty bad ass. I don't remember
that. I think that scene you're talking

133
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:37.440
about was were they in a car? Yeah, they're in a car and

134
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:43.080
they're both singing some raunchy song something, Yeah, something like this. Here's

135
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:50.000
that classic you're Alden waiting for the
number one request of the day. Armort.

136
00:10:50.559 --> 00:11:09.720
Wow, this is my face,
even just with Chicken Fox. It's

137
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:15.519
funny how we're doing the same thing
now. It's more than watching an old

138
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.279
movie. I think there's more of
a closeness to whatever we're watching, whatever

139
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:22.960
commercial, because we were very intimate
with some of those products, right,

140
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:26.720
whether it be the gum or the
coke or whatever it was that actually became

141
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.440
really a part of our live Let's
backtrack a little bit. What were you

142
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:35.679
doing before the YouTube channel? How
did that all start? Yeah, so

143
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.759
I got out of the military in
like two thousand and one, and then

144
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:45.080
after that, I I've always been
like I get it from my parents.

145
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:48.799
I always go to thrift drift stores
and antique stores just to find old,

146
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.720
old shit, you know, the
stuff that is like before I was born,

147
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:56.600
record players, there's really cool stuff. I just found it fascinating.

148
00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:01.480
And during that time, I discovered
you know, dead media, like so

149
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:05.080
like in around two thousand and seven, two thousand and eight, CED discs,

150
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:07.519
laser discs, things like that that
I kind of recalled, like ceed

151
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:11.679
disc I didn't even know about.
I found out during that journey, I

152
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:13.840
guess you could say. And I
was just curious. There are just curiosities

153
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:18.399
for me. So I picked them
up, see if I could salvage them,

154
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:22.840
make them work, and I just
it was like I was obsessed and

155
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:28.039
So fast forward a couple of years
later. I mean going through some VHS

156
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:31.759
tapes that I had, you know, they're up in the attic or whatever.

157
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:35.159
My dad had some box of tapes
too. I didn't have anything to

158
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:37.720
play them on, so I get
a hold of a VCR and I mean,

159
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:43.080
once that happened, it was like
it was kind of I don't care

160
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:46.879
about the dead media. I want
to go looking for VHS tapes that in

161
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:52.360
Beta Max tapes, so it's both
Betamax and VHS. So that's what kind

162
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:54.120
of started the whole thing. It
was. It's kind of an addiction really,

163
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:58.000
of just a personal hobby of mine
that it was a rabbit hole.

164
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:01.159
Man. I just kept I'm going
in and going in, and I ran

165
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:05.360
out of tape. So I'd go
to a state cells and I was going

166
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:09.840
on eBay and anywhere I can find
hand in my hands on on this old

167
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:13.320
content, these old this old magnetic
tape, you know what I mean?

168
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:18.200
Now, did you offer any sexual
favors to obtain any of this archived material

169
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:24.759
that you have been gathering? Another
question real quick, what is your most

170
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:31.639
favorite commercial that you have stumbled upon? And I get that a lot um

171
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:35.519
and it's I'm so undecided because it's
like asking what your favorite movie is.

172
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:39.799
The first thing I off top of
my head is a mac Tonight. I

173
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:46.240
don't know why. I just have
some weird personal connection to mac Tonight McDonald's.

174
00:13:46.279 --> 00:14:01.360
You know the moment the moon man
right playing the piano hit fun it's

175
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:18.559
good man, make it back tonight. That guy scared the hell out of

176
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:22.080
me to scalto a lot of people
got were creeped out by this dude,

177
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:24.399
right, I don't. I don't. For me, it was great as

178
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:26.600
you got the moon, you got
the night, you got the piano,

179
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:30.080
you got this jazz, and you
got this It was great and then you

180
00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:33.360
got of course fast food. So
for some reason, I don't. That's

181
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:35.080
the first thing that always pomps in
my head, even though maybe it's not

182
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:37.720
my favorite ad. I know it's
not my favorite ad, but it's it's

183
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:41.240
definitely the one that first pops up
in my head. Max Headroom is the

184
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:46.639
favorite of me and to Scanno's we've
talked about that fantastic and Max Headrom kind

185
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:50.639
of tripped me into scale out his
repetitiveness, just the way he looked very

186
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:54.519
creepy. You don't want to wake
up next to Max Hedrom. No,

187
00:14:54.679 --> 00:15:05.600
you know you don't You remember the
first time you tried these games space fuck

188
00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:09.639
with practice cop y'all. See,
Man, when you first tried and coke,

189
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:13.480
I think you said no, thank
you, but let's try and coke

190
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:18.399
again because once he got that new
wave of dast do you want to try

191
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:22.279
it again? And again? Man? Again? No practice cuts the way

192
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:26.039
the cocao. Yeah, I remember
those days. I remember where at my

193
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:30.759
dad's house and Max Headrum started airing
for the first time in the eighties,

194
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:35.679
and my dad would record it,
and uh, I remember exactly the setup

195
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:39.480
he had. He had this old
wooden entertainment system with little built in shelving

196
00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:43.840
and some little cabinet doors in the
bottom to put all your tapes. And

197
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:46.919
yeah, we would take the show
on VHS. I mean we had this,

198
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:52.000
you know, your big tube TV
with your VCR and man, I

199
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:54.480
remember all of it. Yeah,
Max Starter was a trip. At the

200
00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:58.240
time, you don't think you liked
something, and then years later you ended

201
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:02.639
up going Man, I didn't like
it, but now it just brings it

202
00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:06.960
stirs up so many emotions and memories
that you end up liking it now.

203
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:11.799
Yeah, Now you say you stumbled
across a VHS and a bunch of different

204
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:15.960
platforms, but what about Beta?
Did you actually have these machines at home?

205
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:19.440
Did you have both VHS VCR and
the Beta match? You have to

206
00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:25.080
buy these from eBay. Yeah,
that's to buy its um the Beta Max

207
00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:27.919
player. I didn't. We'll start
off a Ceed. I was buying Ceed

208
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:33.960
players off a gellam with a Ceed
player or no, I was gonna ask

209
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:36.200
what the heck is a Ceed?
At least I may know it, but

210
00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:38.759
not by the acronym. Yeah,
so it's it's, it's it's. It

211
00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:45.039
looks like a laser disc in a
plastic case, and and this plastic sleeve

212
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:48.639
and the sleeve you can't really remove
the disc. Inside the sleeve is a

213
00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:52.399
disc that is basically a record.
So it's like a big floppy Yeah,

214
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:55.559
well it's it's like it's like an
optical disc, like a laser disc,

215
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:59.080
but it's it's plastic vinyl. It's
like a record, you know. Okay,

216
00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:02.159
okay, it's a same technology.
But they figured out how to put

217
00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:06.279
video images onto the grooves of a
record, and so you'd put it in

218
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:08.759
and it'd be like a laserdis player
kind of where it plays a movie and

219
00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:12.359
then the quality is pretty shitty.
It's like a VHS. Right, It

220
00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:17.839
was still just an amazing, you
know, kind of curiosity again. So

221
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:22.240
anyway, long story short, I
tried getting into that, and those units

222
00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:26.160
are very finicky when you get them
shipped, they'd break because they're basically record

223
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:27.839
players you can get shipped to you
in a box, right, So I

224
00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:32.400
gave up on that, and then
I moved to VHS and Beta Max,

225
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:36.680
so I had to get them all
off eBay. The first two Beta Max

226
00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:40.279
players I got both. I got
both VHS and Betamax at the same time.

227
00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:44.680
Was never lucky with Beta Max.
VHS machines worked fine, the Beta

228
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:48.000
Max ones were always broken when I
got them, and it was until I

229
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:49.880
got lucky at a yard cell and
I found a Beta Max player. I

230
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:53.400
know that once in a while you'll
put like a commercials from Beta Max.

231
00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:57.519
I can tell the better quality from
Beta Max. It's weird. Oh,

232
00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:02.359
you can tell that the quality was
better from the Beta Max. Yeah for

233
00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:04.480
sure. So yeah, Beta Max. Actually, it kind of died here

234
00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:08.559
in late eighties. VHS kind of
took over, but in Japan it ran

235
00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:12.359
up until the early two thousands,
people were still using Beta Max players,

236
00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:18.559
but Beta Max had advanced in Japan, and there they had this technology called

237
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:23.279
eDV IS. Basically it's like this
metal particles on the tape itself, which

238
00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:27.000
allowed them to have a better resolution, better audio, better everything. It

239
00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:33.039
was like DVD quality. And so
some of my recordings you'll see that are

240
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:37.359
from Japan actually were recorded on you
know, late nineties, early two thousands,

241
00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:42.440
but mostly late nineties TV in that
quality like DVD quality. So yeah,

242
00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:48.279
they're way ahead of a VHS.
VHS also had HD too, though

243
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:52.319
they're super VHS. And then there's
HD VHS. I think they called it

244
00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:57.680
d VHS. I forever call acquiter
correctly, but it was basically basically full

245
00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:03.039
HD VHS tapes. I got married
nineteen ninety seven. My wife got me

246
00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:07.759
the trilogy, the Star Wars trilogy
on VHS on and it was like,

247
00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:11.119
you know, high definition. You
still put those in and they look fantastic.

248
00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:14.119
Yeah, they look pretty good.
I'm surprisingly yeah they do. Yeah,

249
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:15.200
you know what I mean. This
was pretty good too. It's not

250
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:19.599
four K or that we're so used
to, but it still looks pretty darn

251
00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:22.759
good. How do you get all
these commercials. I mean, it's not

252
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:26.240
like you you sat there when you
were a kid recording them all. No,

253
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:29.680
no, no. So I did
have my own tapes, I mean

254
00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:33.720
very small, a lot, maybe
like twenty tapes I had held onto my

255
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:36.000
mom's house. You know, hey, you got this stuff in the attic.

256
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:38.039
And my dad had a box too, So I got a hold of

257
00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:42.720
those and uh. And then most
of my tapes come from eBay and estate

258
00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:47.440
Sells. Don't you some of my
eighties the pornography was really good. I

259
00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:48.960
was gonna say, dude, do
you have any Swedish porn? And let's

260
00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:52.880
see some port that this is.
This is back to the eighties. We're

261
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:56.359
gonna take a quick break. When
we come back. There's more of Dave's

262
00:19:56.440 --> 00:20:06.920
archives with Dave himself here, Welcome
everybody. This is doctor love Weapon and

263
00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:10.279
with me to my right hand,
your left or my left, you or

264
00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:15.359
right whatever is a man that is
like my father, but he's like my

265
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:21.039
child at the same time. He
is the ever so lovely Keith. Sweet.

266
00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:30.000
Oh that sounds sweet. You know, doctor, it's good to see

267
00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:33.319
you. I don't know if Tammy
told you I was taking some time off

268
00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:37.119
from the office. I had to
get onto the golf course and I was

269
00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:41.559
playing for charity, on my own
charity. We have a letter from Nadine

270
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:47.559
to David. Dear David, I
don't think our relationship is going to work

271
00:20:47.559 --> 00:20:52.559
out. Don't take this hard,
but I think we should just be friends.

272
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:56.559
Maybe another time this will work out. What's so bad about breaking up?

273
00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:03.759
Anyway? Nobody even knows we're going
out, Nadine brass my. First

274
00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:07.920
of all, I would like to
say Nadine as a personality of a can

275
00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:11.079
of sardines in a ninety group degree
weather, when the can is sitting in

276
00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:15.079
the trunk of a car. Second
of all, all, my only advice

277
00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:19.880
to poor David is there are ways
to get over her lots of wat Yes,

278
00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:26.480
the prostitution may be listening to back
back to the eighties hosted by Tiscano

279
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:32.200
and Chain could also take some of
those uneasy feelings that you may be feeling

280
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:37.200
due to Nadine's coldness. Would you
not say so, doctor, I would

281
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:41.599
say you're absolutely right. You can
drown yourself in alcohol. You can drown

282
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:47.440
yourself and your pity and your sorrow
in nothing but Marie Calendar Byes. Deep

283
00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:51.400
down inside, we know what you
need. You need to go back to

284
00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:56.839
the eighties. Doctor Sweet. Oh
that's so sweet. I've got to get

285
00:21:56.839 --> 00:22:00.640
back in. I've got to go
do some more shooting, get the driving

286
00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:04.000
range. I'll talk to you once
I get back to my swaggy new apartment

287
00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:11.000
on Melrose. Oh okay, well
they're remodeling mine on Melrose as well.

288
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:17.799
So I'm here off of PC and
good old Malibu, overlooking Richard Gears House.

289
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:21.200
What a disastrous house that is.
Anyway, it's it's all the way

290
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:25.279
to the bottom. Who wants to
live by the water? I overlook the

291
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:29.599
water. I heard he had a
life size habit trail for hamster Sir.

292
00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:33.680
I heard apparently his wife is pregnant. So who knows? This has been

293
00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:37.640
the Love hate doctors. I'm doctor
Love Weapon and I'm doctor Keith Sweet.

294
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:45.880
You keep loving and hating and we'll
keep being there for you. Nobody has

295
00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:48.359
the movie I want. Hey,
if it's on video, Blockbuster probably hasn't.

296
00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:52.839
I mean we have over ten thousand
videos. Wow, I'll watch spat

303
00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:25.720
Well, let Tescano and Chang transport
you back in time, back to the

304
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:29.880
eighties. We are back. This
is back to the eighties radio. If

305
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:36.200
you just joined us with us today
is Dave Zamora from Dave's Archives on YouTube.

306
00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:40.200
Make sure you go visit his YouTube
channel because if you are a true

307
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:44.319
eighties fan, you're gonna love commercials
now. You used to hate them,

308
00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:48.640
I know you did, But today
we love those commercials and thanks to Dave

309
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:52.920
and Dave's archives, he's bringing those
commercials, those memories back. I know

310
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:59.079
that you're wearing a Blockbuster hat right
now. So let's talk a little bit

311
00:23:59.119 --> 00:24:03.480
about movie rentals and the whole VHS
thing back in the eighties with Blockbuster.

312
00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:08.279
Although if I'm not mistaken, I
think Blockbuster started like an eighty five,

313
00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:14.000
eighty six or something like that,
and then the next big competition was a

314
00:24:14.119 --> 00:24:18.359
Hollywood Video, at least here in
California it was, and I think that

315
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:22.440
was like eighty eight something like that. Were you a supporter of the of

316
00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:26.200
the big chains or did you rather
go to a mom and pop shop?

317
00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:29.640
Yeah? Man, I um,
you know the mom and pops are nice.

318
00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:32.559
Always support the mom and pops.
But dude, they had such low

319
00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:36.559
inventory. Yeah, you'd never get
any new movies. Yeah, and that's

320
00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:38.519
what you go for, right right
in most cases, right, So,

321
00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:45.359
but Blockbuster they just they had too
much inventory of the new movies, correct.

322
00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:49.680
I mean they had an entire fifteen
foot wall for you know, you've

323
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:56.000
got mail or whatever new releases,
that's right, And that was annoying too.

324
00:24:56.039 --> 00:24:57.680
So the stuff, the hard to
find stuff I wanted to see,

325
00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:03.519
they probably don't have. I think
the best of both worlds was Hollywood Video

326
00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:10.119
for me. They paid attention to
stunking stuff that you wouldn't find anywhere else.

327
00:25:10.359 --> 00:25:14.200
Uh, you know, the sun
dance stuff, independent stuff, imports

328
00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:18.119
stuff, concerts, things like that, and you know you can't get that

329
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:22.880
at Blockbuster. You're just gonna o
the mainstream stuff. After a movie had

330
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:26.720
been out, they had the poster
in the store and then they would sell

331
00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:29.079
that. I was always the guy
that like, hey, I gotta get

332
00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:30.799
into that poster, you know,
and then I would sell it. I

333
00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:33.720
never knew value the movie pot,
No, dude. I would throw it

334
00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:40.559
out in the back at our stores
myself and the faith thinking about it,

335
00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:44.039
dude, because like they you know, the cut the cutouts, all the

336
00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:47.039
marketing cutouts and stuff. Yeah,
dude, they toss in the back when

337
00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:48.839
they when they read, when they
start to you know, do their refresh

338
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:52.720
of new stuff. And I just
wish I had gone back there and just

339
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:56.559
grabbed all that stuff because there's so
much stuff these stores throughout. I used

340
00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:02.480
to buy movie posters off of them
for a dollar day a dollar, you

341
00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:04.960
know, and I would go and
decorate my garage. Now, you know

342
00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:08.000
the time frame that we're talking about, in the late eighties with both franchises,

343
00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:12.519
I was already a father. So
my experience in the late eighties with

344
00:26:12.599 --> 00:26:17.359
the renting movies was always wrapped around
family, you know what I mean.

345
00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:19.839
I had three girls at the time, so that was that was the weekend,

346
00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:22.799
you know what I mean, you
just stay home and watch, you

347
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:26.359
know, movies with the wife and
the kids. Now you both do remember

348
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:33.039
going to Hollywood Video and you could
buy soft drinks, snacks, popcorn.

349
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:37.920
There was all fresh popcorn. And
there was always a different movie on each

350
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:42.240
screen. So whatever section you were
hunting a movie, you could glance up

351
00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:45.799
and you could see a different movie. I A yeah, yeah, Hollywood

352
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:49.480
Video to me was was top notch. Even the carpet. The carpet was

353
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:56.559
I believe was black with red lines
and the strip print on the carpet.

354
00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:00.640
I mean that's classic. I mean
just just so retro. It's everything that

355
00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:04.720
is tangible that's going to draw the
customer. I think deeper in, I

356
00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:07.039
think if they weren't sold drugs back
then, I would have been hooked.

357
00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:11.839
I'm sure the front counter you'd had
some good stuff. How do you think

358
00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:17.400
you did poster? What do you
think chang worked that you have to ride

359
00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:21.200
a certain video to get the trade
going. No, but I'll paint robs

360
00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:23.400
here we go. Oh you want
you got the robis? I say so?

361
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:27.720
Yeah? So real quick, painting
the picture of what what I used

362
00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:32.359
to do back in the eighties,
like at a Hollywood Video or even before

363
00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:36.920
Hollywood Video when they started becoming a
little bit bigger, right before Hollywood or

364
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:41.920
or even Blockbuster came out, they
started getting a little bit bigger. I

365
00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:47.720
remember going, and I know everybody
who's from the eighties remembers this experience.

366
00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:53.000
You're going because you just found out
this new released VHS was there, and

367
00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:57.519
as soon as you get there,
somebody because they either opened the door,

368
00:27:57.880 --> 00:28:00.480
they took too long, or you
had to go back in the car for

369
00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:04.160
something. You came out, somebody
got in front of you and they asked

370
00:28:04.240 --> 00:28:07.839
for the movie that you wanted,
and guess what, unfortunately they only had

371
00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:11.960
one copy. I was just going
to bring that up to Sconnell that you

372
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:15.799
guys remember a lot of times when
they got new releases, they only had

373
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:19.880
so many, so it was first
come, first served. Then you would

374
00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:22.079
have to leave your number at the
counter. Then they would call you,

375
00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:26.880
Hey, this movie just got back
into the store. Can you reserve it?

376
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:30.400
No, you'll have to come and
get it right. Yeah. I

377
00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:33.119
remember what we would do is we
didn't do it often, but if you

378
00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:37.920
were wanting a new movie I would
get Most of the time I would go.

379
00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:41.400
It wasn't because of a new movie
just coming out, is you'll usually

380
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:45.920
just because I just I'm just curious
what they have in the anime section or

381
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:48.559
what they have in the in the
import section or what have you. I

382
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:55.359
would just go through every single freaking
row of the very uncommon things that that

383
00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:57.200
was my thing. But once in
a while, I would you be looking

384
00:28:57.240 --> 00:29:03.359
for a new movie. So in
most cases it's it's it's always out right.

385
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:06.960
You go on a Friday night.
You don't even go on a Friday

386
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:10.440
night for a new right, Yeah, it's it's it's gone right. What

387
00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:14.680
we would do is we would go
by the cashier front desk and we wait

388
00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:17.880
for people to do the drop off. Oh yes, yeah. When the

389
00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:21.480
guy has downtime, he'll take the
get his little gun and start scanning the

390
00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:25.000
movies that come in, and you
just kind of look over and just watch

391
00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:27.799
and sometimes you get lucky, sometimes
you get lucky. Yeah, but I

392
00:29:27.839 --> 00:29:33.440
think you guys remember the uh the
sign they had be kind rewind Oh yeah,

393
00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:38.880
man, I have a book of
stickers that were the same stickers they

394
00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:45.359
used for all those tapes, and
like even the classifications like horror, drama,

395
00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:49.279
you know, sci fi stuff like
that, A little round stickers.

396
00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:52.839
Yeah yeah, came in this book. Um, I wish I could recall

397
00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:56.400
the name of a book, but
in the back. There's these badass,

398
00:29:56.559 --> 00:29:59.960
high quality stickers, just like the
store. Some of them are even destroy

399
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:03.480
rest to look like they have where
from being on the box. It's really

400
00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:04.920
good, right, I'll let you
know what that book is. It's pretty

401
00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:08.400
sweet. But yeah, man,
stickers were awesome. You'll never forget the

402
00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:11.640
stickers. And then another thing,
I don't really I guess it was based

403
00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:15.720
on the store. They would use
color coding stickers without any text on it

404
00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:21.160
at all, right, depending on
the genre of the movie or whether or

405
00:30:21.960 --> 00:30:25.200
I think. I used to have
a buddy of mine who used to whose

406
00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:29.559
parents used to own a small mum
in pop shop, which sucks so bad.

407
00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:33.640
That shop was so small he wouldn't
even rent movies there. That's how

408
00:30:33.640 --> 00:30:37.039
small it was. Yeah, they
were, and they were always like the

409
00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:40.799
number one movie He's the movie that
was always in that store was Multiplicity.

410
00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:47.799
A first reason Multiplicity was away had
multiple copies. Yeah, I don't remember,

411
00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:52.960
but it was a thousand copies of
this movie Multiplicity. Yeah, who

412
00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:56.279
knows why. The point is that
we have a Wonda movie Multiplicity. I

413
00:30:56.319 --> 00:31:00.640
think sometimes they used to do that, but they to do it because of

414
00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:04.519
their their financial you know, for
whatever reason. You know, this is

415
00:31:04.519 --> 00:31:08.039
the movie that gets rented out the
least or the most or something like that.

416
00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:12.160
So I don't know what it meant
in other stores, but so certainly

417
00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:18.279
our time in the eighties of video
renting, I mean it left a mark

418
00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:22.319
in us. And yeah, it's
sure it's something that how many many memories

419
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:26.160
you know, it was just the
action of getting out, that ritual of

420
00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:30.200
leaving your house. You've decided,
get off your ass and go to the

421
00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:33.319
store. Drive to the store three
miles or four miles away, however long

422
00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:38.319
it is, walk in, do
your thing. I remember spending like thirty

423
00:31:38.400 --> 00:31:42.400
forty minutes, and those in Hollywood
videos sometimes, you know, because it

424
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:48.599
was exciting, you know, trying
to make stretch your five dollars that you

425
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:51.559
have for the two movies you're going
to rent the best you can, and

426
00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:55.000
making the best decision to watch the
best movies you can for that evening.

427
00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:59.519
Do you guys remember how many times
how many times either one of you grab

428
00:31:59.559 --> 00:32:02.599
books so many movies and then you're
stuck and you're looking, no, do

429
00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:06.200
I really want this one? Or
should I get? Yeah, you know,

430
00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:07.920
I've got I've already got five movies
and I have to bring them back

431
00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:13.160
and you want that game in your
head. Yeah, you guys, remember

432
00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:16.440
with that, Dude, I would
never run a movie that had mismatch return

433
00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:22.039
dates. Oh yeah, you never
do that. But what about when you

434
00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:25.039
had to remember even before all of
that, remember when you had to return

435
00:32:25.079 --> 00:32:29.960
them the next day? So when
videos doing that, yeah, yeah,

436
00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:31.960
you get stressed. I don't want
to be stressed. I remember. I

437
00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:36.599
remember going on weekends to rent movies. We'd rent like five movies, but

438
00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:39.359
then for some reason you'd fall asleep. You'd have to return them the next

439
00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:43.400
day by a certain time, and
you didn't watch all of them, and

440
00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:47.680
then you were pissed off because you
spent whatever it was on that. Yeah,

441
00:32:47.799 --> 00:32:51.519
those were the value priced ones too. I remember when they started,

442
00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:53.279
you know, because it was expensive
to run a movie back then. When

443
00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:59.079
they first started, it was like
it was like yeah, exactly, and

444
00:32:59.440 --> 00:33:01.319
but then they you know, we
got to lower the price just for the

445
00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:06.640
everyday man, but you got to
return it the next day. Nine cents.

446
00:33:06.759 --> 00:33:07.839
I'll let your rent it, but
you gotta turn it the next day,

447
00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:10.440
okay, right, yeah, I'll
just let it go for a couple

448
00:33:10.440 --> 00:33:15.359
more days and pay the two dollar
fee. Yeah, that was just way

449
00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:17.839
too much pressure on us. I
think that, dude, I don't want

450
00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:22.079
to be freaked out. It was
like, man, the kids didn't go

451
00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:23.759
to bed, I gotta take three
movies back. I didn't watch I really

452
00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:28.359
wanted to watch that movie. Yeah, well that's why I'm not even gonna

453
00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:31.119
rewind these damn things through it.
I'm just taking right. They had fees

454
00:33:31.119 --> 00:33:35.240
if you didn't rewind. Yeah,
and then it started off with fifty cents

455
00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:37.680
and then it went up from there. Yeah, it was. It was

456
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:42.559
crazy. They made it. They
made some killing m and do you remember

457
00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:47.279
that it was when you compare it
to nowadays. Now, let's not compare

458
00:33:47.319 --> 00:33:51.599
the quality, because we know the
quality is. You can't compare the quality.

459
00:33:51.839 --> 00:33:54.920
But as far as what that brought
to you. As far as far

460
00:33:54.920 --> 00:34:00.079
as an experience for me, this
is my personal opinion. For me,

461
00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:07.920
I prefer the the experience over the
comfort and convenience of streaming most of the

462
00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:12.480
time. And I say most of
the time because sometimes, yeah, when

463
00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:15.920
if it's a cheesy movie, I'll
stream. Man, I wouldn't waste my

464
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:21.000
gas menty go rented, but for
the experience to go there and to spend

465
00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:23.079
time. Man, What I wouldn't
give for my kids to have that and

466
00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:25.679
for us to do theater? You
know what I mean to to to go

467
00:34:25.760 --> 00:34:30.400
to a video store spend some time. It smelled like a movie theater.

468
00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:34.039
You know, you go in there, the popcorn, the candy, the

469
00:34:34.119 --> 00:34:39.239
sodas, the sweaty sometimes it was
sometimes it was a hottie, you know

470
00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:44.400
what I mean, sweaty cashier,
all cooked out in drinking mountain. Dus

471
00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:49.920
Man, where the heck did you? Did you go to rent videos?

472
00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:52.880
Miey? A smelly carpet? Yeah? No, I don't remember him like

473
00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:57.000
that. I remember going to hold
Matt, We're gonna go to that that

474
00:34:57.559 --> 00:35:01.920
rental house because you know that block
sor that Hollywood video has some some quti's

475
00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:07.000
in there. Hold that thought.
Stick around more of Dave's archives only here

476
00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:15.159
on. Back to the eighties radio
mister Gerberhof teared down this wall. It

477
00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:21.079
certainly is a big bon's a very
big fun big. It's a very big,

478
00:35:21.159 --> 00:35:24.760
fluffy fun. Why's the beef?
Some Hamburger place to give you a

479
00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:29.480
lot less beef on a lot of
bun where's the beef? Bat Wendy's we

480
00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:32.480
sa a Hamburger we modestly called the
single and Wendy's sele has more beef than

481
00:35:32.519 --> 00:35:36.800
the Whopper or Big Mack. Like
Gwendyd you get more beal and less bun

482
00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:43.000
Hi. I don't think you want
something better. Your Windy is kind of

483
00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:46.800
people. If they were a laxity, they'd be so powerful you could stand

484
00:35:46.840 --> 00:35:52.320
on your head and on the ceiling. That position would not only be unavailable,

485
00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:59.159
but also undignified. And now back
to the eighties with Toscato and Chang,

486
00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:04.239
We're back here and back to the
Adies Radio. If you just joined

487
00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:08.760
us, we have David Zamora from
Dave's Archives YouTube channel with us. Let's

488
00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:13.679
go back and talk about the commercials. There were a lot of commercials that

489
00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:15.320
we really hate. Do you remember
a commercial that you really hated back in

490
00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:19.800
the eighties, And there's a lot, and there's still there's a lot that

491
00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:23.760
I still hate. Honestly speaking,
I hate freaking champoo ads, I hate

492
00:36:24.159 --> 00:36:28.800
talent all and code cold medicine I
hate. I hated the medicine ads.

493
00:36:28.840 --> 00:36:31.760
I hated them with a passion.
Yeah, yeah, they're never get never,

494
00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:36.000
they'll never be popular. And the
makeup ads, I don't care for

495
00:36:36.079 --> 00:36:38.280
them, but I know the ladies
they'll they'll reminisce over those. And then

496
00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:43.400
there's like the oil commercials, a
gas and oil commercials like come to mining

497
00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:49.039
gear here, get your your your
tire changed, or use uh golf golf

498
00:36:49.079 --> 00:36:52.079
gasoline to fill up your tank.
Those those were never fun for me either.

499
00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:57.960
There's a resurgence of going back to
vinyl, the vinyl. There's also

500
00:36:58.039 --> 00:37:01.400
resurgence of going back starting now,
going back to cassettes. I know there's

501
00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:06.840
a company task Camp in particular,
is the one that's bringing back brand new,

502
00:37:07.079 --> 00:37:12.039
high quality cassette decks. When it
comes to video, different story,

503
00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:15.920
right, whole different story. It's
not like they're going to start making vhs

504
00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:20.719
again. I do know that a
lot of people are creating their own basement

505
00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:25.280
style video rental stores because it just
brings back so many good memories. And

506
00:37:25.400 --> 00:37:30.079
I hate the comments that I see
sometimes, Oh why would you ever do

507
00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:35.400
that when the quality isn't four K? And I hate those stupid comments because

508
00:37:35.559 --> 00:37:38.320
that's not why they're doing it.
Those are those are young, young kid

509
00:37:38.400 --> 00:37:43.159
comments. I don't think they honestly
don't get it. When they get old,

510
00:37:43.199 --> 00:37:46.039
they'll get it. That's the millennial
group, no, even younger than

511
00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:51.760
that. Well, actually, the
millennials are getting into two thousands of nostalgia

512
00:37:51.800 --> 00:37:54.760
stuff with with video. Actually,
my sister and her husband there, their

513
00:37:54.840 --> 00:37:59.960
millennials are in there. They're in
the early thirties now. They're always asking

514
00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:01.800
what are you gonna do two thousand
stuff? That's what I want to see.

515
00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:06.199
I want to see the two thousand
stuff, you know. But it's

516
00:38:06.199 --> 00:38:08.280
it's I think it's the younger ones
who starts, you know, they start

517
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:12.039
saying, hey, why don't you
this should be HD? Will you have

518
00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:15.440
it in the square box? Yeah? And then and then you have guys

519
00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:16.800
like me saying, dude, don't
stretch it out, put it in the

520
00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:22.000
square box. Right, yeah,
right, we're talking about the age groups.

521
00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:28.719
What was your favorite anime movie of
the eighties? To skindle the same

522
00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:30.760
question to you, Okay, that's
a good question. Damn I want to

523
00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:34.960
say a Kira, but I like
to hear enough for the story, but

524
00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:39.800
for how how different it was,
you know, the animation and the storyline

525
00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:44.639
was just I didn't even get it. I never got it. I still

526
00:38:44.679 --> 00:38:47.440
don't get it. But I think
my favorite movie, my personal favorite was

527
00:38:47.559 --> 00:38:52.679
Dark City. Um if you haven't
watched Dark City. It's a pretty wicked,

528
00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:55.599
wicked movie. It's all right.
Maybe it's called Wicked City, and

529
00:38:55.599 --> 00:39:00.480
I think it's called Dark City,
but it's pretty damn freaky it is.

530
00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:09.559
It's a freaky, beautiful done anime
where you have these demon people. Let's

531
00:39:09.559 --> 00:39:15.239
just put it this way. The
main character starts to have sex with this

532
00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:20.079
girl. He thinks she's a prostitute
or I don't know, some lady who's

533
00:39:20.119 --> 00:39:23.119
hitting on whatever. But in the
middle of their of their little thing that

534
00:39:23.239 --> 00:39:29.840
they're doing there and they're they're fun
time, she busts out with a vagina

535
00:39:29.960 --> 00:39:36.000
shaped cavern ripping out through her chest
and then she sprouts out spider legs and

536
00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:39.760
holds them in place so that she
can devire him through her vagina shaped crevice

537
00:39:40.039 --> 00:39:49.159
running thrown down her belly and is
wife. And this is an eighties flick,

538
00:39:49.559 --> 00:39:52.239
so yeah, it's I think it's
called Wicked City or a dark city.

539
00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:55.320
I'm really bad with names. If
you want to show I I'm horrible

540
00:39:55.320 --> 00:40:04.280
with names. But it is definitely
one of my favorite movies and movies now

541
00:40:04.320 --> 00:40:08.119
anime shows are a little different.
I have a couple of are my favorite

542
00:40:09.159 --> 00:40:13.320
now the movie you're talking about,
and then I got to get your antrotisk

543
00:40:13.400 --> 00:40:16.159
on. It was very similar to
my favorite was heavy Metal. Columbia Pictures

544
00:40:16.159 --> 00:40:24.960
presents heavy metal but tripped beyond the
future to a universe you've never seen before,

545
00:40:27.320 --> 00:40:34.559
a universe of mystery, a universe
of passionate fantasies, a universe of

546
00:40:34.840 --> 00:40:49.079
terrifying evil, a universe o magic, heavy metal, heavy metal, a

547
00:40:49.239 --> 00:40:54.840
step beyond science fiction. Not because
I dug the music, but the artistry

548
00:40:54.960 --> 00:41:00.719
was like fantastic, fabulous, so
lifelike, but yet so the content was

549
00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:05.760
so adult and so rated are but
you just couldn't look away from it.

550
00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:07.960
And if you look at it,
you if you watch a movie, it

551
00:41:08.079 --> 00:41:12.039
jumped around a lot. He was
like, I need to do more drugs

552
00:41:12.039 --> 00:41:15.719
so I can understand what the fricking
heck I'm watching here. But that movie

553
00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:19.320
is the movie that you just brought
up. Yeah, well, look,

554
00:41:19.840 --> 00:41:23.400
I'm sorry to burst your bubble,
but uh yeah, I am. I

555
00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:29.039
never watched anime when I was a
kid, A little to do this way

556
00:41:29.079 --> 00:41:31.960
whenever Voltron used to come out,
and that's the I usually change the chand

557
00:41:32.000 --> 00:41:36.000
ah, Shoot, there goes that
anime style. Click click click click click

558
00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:43.480
click. Serious style was the best. Okay, it might have been great.

559
00:41:43.639 --> 00:41:47.559
It might have been fantastics on the
American account literally counts on the American

560
00:41:49.079 --> 00:41:51.960
that's what made it fun. Yeah. No, So here's here's the way

561
00:41:51.960 --> 00:41:54.519
I looked at it. To me, anything that was anime. And it's

562
00:41:54.519 --> 00:41:59.199
funny because I had friends who were
all into anime. They even bought the

563
00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:02.119
anime comment books. And then I
had a cousin who used to draw anime

564
00:42:02.519 --> 00:42:06.159
and I always used to looking at
her. You know what you no,

565
00:42:06.400 --> 00:42:12.639
No, these big old gag,
enormous eyes and everything, And I did

566
00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:15.880
a kid. I watched the real
thing. Yeah, what's the real?

567
00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:21.639
Yes? Absolutely, inside the malls, every mall had a Sun Coast yea

568
00:42:21.760 --> 00:42:25.199
or a big one. So they
carried anime that you could actually buy on

569
00:42:25.199 --> 00:42:30.000
on VHS. I remember this stuff
too. Yeah. I remember they had

570
00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:34.079
the adult anime and they had it
like over eighteen or something like that.

571
00:42:34.119 --> 00:42:37.280
It said little stickers on them,
oh for adults. The only stuff.

572
00:42:37.360 --> 00:42:40.119
Yeah yeah, basically Wicked City or
Dark I can't. I wish I could

573
00:42:40.159 --> 00:42:44.639
learn the damn name. Now.
Remember this all started with music, also

574
00:42:44.800 --> 00:42:49.239
with the the ever so hideous a
Tipper Gore. We should have listened to

575
00:42:49.239 --> 00:42:52.960
her husband. Mother Wood arked to
be a little bit safer, but remember

576
00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:58.559
she started a lot of this on
the material we listened to, or the

577
00:42:58.639 --> 00:43:04.440
material that they couldn't control well watching. I think with the renting of movies

578
00:43:04.800 --> 00:43:09.760
and Tipper Core's big mouth kind of
started killing a lot of free enterprise.

579
00:43:10.280 --> 00:43:16.199
The movie houses were not as important, the drive ins were not as significant.

580
00:43:16.320 --> 00:43:21.840
Before, you know, people tried
to look for other means of ways

581
00:43:21.880 --> 00:43:25.480
to get their music rather than go
flash an ID card if they wanted to

582
00:43:25.519 --> 00:43:30.440
buy something from the priest. I
mean, so it's great. I like

583
00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:32.519
the way that you brought that up, But I think that kind of coincides

584
00:43:32.559 --> 00:43:37.559
with each other, the way that
we had to start putting labels on what

585
00:43:37.800 --> 00:43:40.840
is proper and what is not proper. Yeah, you know, anime back

586
00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:45.039
then, it wasn't a lot of
it was. I mean it was rated

587
00:43:45.239 --> 00:43:49.840
R, maybe rated double R for
some of those things, yes, But

588
00:43:50.400 --> 00:43:52.840
a lot of times there would be
no American rating on because there was a

589
00:43:52.920 --> 00:43:58.679
Japanese import and it would say mature
content, yeah, and that was it.

590
00:43:59.000 --> 00:44:01.239
So the parents were like okay,
whatever. Parents would have no idea

591
00:44:01.519 --> 00:44:04.760
because they would see it. They
were, Oh, it's a cartoon,

592
00:44:05.119 --> 00:44:08.320
yea, what bad can come out
out of a cartoon? Well? Literally,

593
00:44:08.360 --> 00:44:12.320
do they know that it can be
Timmy's having sex with an octopus?

594
00:44:12.480 --> 00:44:15.760
That it could be a lot worse
than the Yeah, so you have seventies,

595
00:44:15.800 --> 00:44:17.840
eighties, and nineties. Are you
going to start bringing in the two

596
00:44:17.840 --> 00:44:22.440
thousands and so on? Yeah,
So I'm kind of ramping up. I

597
00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:28.719
have a good inventory of tapes.
So today I actually was transferring material from

598
00:44:29.079 --> 00:44:35.599
a TVO Series two DVR that had
material from two thousand and four to two

599
00:44:35.639 --> 00:44:37.800
thousand and eight on it. And
it's a trip watching that because even that

600
00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:42.199
is even for me, I'm forty
six, that was still nostalgic. I

601
00:44:42.239 --> 00:44:45.320
was like, oh my god,
that company doesn't even exist anymore. Half

602
00:44:45.320 --> 00:44:50.599
the websites for these these commercials they're
not there. Because what I'll do is

603
00:44:51.119 --> 00:44:53.360
these weird kind of defunct commercials.
They're like, dude, I've never heard

604
00:44:53.360 --> 00:44:57.679
of that. I'll look it up
online. A website cannot be found,

605
00:44:57.760 --> 00:45:00.480
you know, stuff like that.
Yeah, So it's it's really cool.

606
00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:02.360
There's there's a lot of good material, and you'll find that in the two

607
00:45:02.400 --> 00:45:07.199
thousand from two thousand to two thousand
and eight ish, a lot of ads.

608
00:45:07.679 --> 00:45:14.280
We're just doing this normal recipe and
bit of selling their product, whereas

609
00:45:14.360 --> 00:45:22.039
now everybody has to be sarcastic,
clever and just following this today's trend type

610
00:45:22.079 --> 00:45:25.039
material, right, Yeah, and
it's it's commercials today are not fun at

611
00:45:25.039 --> 00:45:29.519
all, and they really aren't.
Maybe maybe kids who are ten years old

612
00:45:29.559 --> 00:45:32.320
today will go over I remember this
and finding it find it nostalgic. I

613
00:45:32.360 --> 00:45:36.079
don't know how in the hell they
will, because it's boring a shit and

614
00:45:36.079 --> 00:45:39.360
half of its half of it is
insurance and medications. And plus the kids

615
00:45:39.360 --> 00:45:44.960
don't even watch pretty much. Plus
kids don't even watch commercials today. They

616
00:45:45.119 --> 00:45:50.079
literally want to watch an hour worth
of freaking prescription medication. Yeah you know

617
00:45:50.159 --> 00:45:52.639
what I mean. Yeah, ensure
it's especially if it's a word mind you

618
00:45:52.679 --> 00:45:57.280
of getting old and getting sick.
Yeah, exactly, and especially if that

619
00:45:57.360 --> 00:46:00.880
one minute this is going to last
that long, the whole tull commercial thing

620
00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:05.559
in another twenty years, it's only
going to go as far as twenty ten,

621
00:46:06.280 --> 00:46:09.119
and maybe that's it unless we change
our ways. But I mean,

622
00:46:09.239 --> 00:46:15.960
these we'd only today we only sell
a certain small demographic of product, whereas

623
00:46:16.000 --> 00:46:21.320
back then everybody was everybody had a
commercial for everything, you know what I

624
00:46:21.360 --> 00:46:23.239
mean. But yeah, these DVRs, they have a lot of good footage.

625
00:46:23.239 --> 00:46:27.519
The cool thing about DVRs is you'll
have forty hours of footage on a

626
00:46:27.599 --> 00:46:30.920
box that cost me on a day
maybe twenty twenty five dollars. And that's

627
00:46:30.960 --> 00:46:35.719
which a lunch cheaper compared to what
I'm paying now if I go out and

628
00:46:35.760 --> 00:46:38.320
try buy VHS tapes with good footage
on it. Yeah, and a VCR

629
00:46:38.599 --> 00:46:43.639
is so whole expensive right now if
you get a good win dude, keeping

630
00:46:43.679 --> 00:46:47.599
them maintained and having a VCR that
has certain outputs so that you get the

631
00:46:47.599 --> 00:46:51.280
best quality possible, which is really
important to me. That's one of the

632
00:46:51.320 --> 00:46:55.400
reasons why I started my channel too, is because there's only a small handful

633
00:46:55.440 --> 00:47:00.559
of people who are uploading commercials at
the time. I think literally maybe one

634
00:47:00.639 --> 00:47:04.559
that I knew of, because when
I wouldn't started down. When I started

635
00:47:04.639 --> 00:47:08.960
uploading, I thought it was a
great way for me to freely clouds,

636
00:47:09.320 --> 00:47:14.559
store my material and up in the
cloud right right right, it was I

637
00:47:14.599 --> 00:47:16.840
don't have a bunch of hard drives, I'm poor there is a free way

638
00:47:16.880 --> 00:47:21.159
for me to save my stuff online. I don't care if anyone cares that

639
00:47:21.239 --> 00:47:23.400
they like it or not. This
is for me at the time. There's

640
00:47:23.400 --> 00:47:27.800
only like one I knew an other
person I was doing and things are going

641
00:47:27.880 --> 00:47:29.960
to be changing soon, I think. But yeah, I'm I'm trying to

642
00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:32.840
get as much two thousands material as
ponssible. It's become what more lazier?

643
00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:37.199
Would both either of you agree on
that the way that we go about to

644
00:47:37.800 --> 00:47:42.840
getting our moving in like like to
Scannell pointed out streaming to me, I'm

645
00:47:42.920 --> 00:47:45.079
just I'm with my partner all the
way on the back seat on this one.

646
00:47:45.119 --> 00:47:52.639
It's streaming is the lazy man and
just the you've lost that kind of

647
00:47:52.679 --> 00:47:57.159
desire the hunt with streaming as you
did when you know when we would go

648
00:47:57.159 --> 00:47:59.559
out and look for these movies,
the same thing when we would go to

649
00:47:59.599 --> 00:48:02.960
a movie house or a drive in. Is that feeling of excitement, that

650
00:48:04.239 --> 00:48:08.280
energy, making an evening of your
evening, going to go get something to

651
00:48:08.559 --> 00:48:13.719
take home to watch or to go
watch in a movie house. All that's

652
00:48:13.719 --> 00:48:15.800
gone was streaming. I mean,
I mean, how many times you say,

653
00:48:15.800 --> 00:48:19.119
hey, honey, let's go grab
a bite tea, they will come

654
00:48:19.159 --> 00:48:22.159
home and stream. No, let's
get a piece of on not getting out

655
00:48:22.159 --> 00:48:27.039
of my sweats and we're gonna chill. I mean, it's it's so boring

656
00:48:27.079 --> 00:48:30.159
and lazy nowadays, gentlemen. Yeah, it's kind of human nature, you

657
00:48:30.159 --> 00:48:37.840
know. It's it's we are a
breed of species that pride ourselves and making

658
00:48:37.840 --> 00:48:42.119
things convenient. You know, it's
all about convenience. You remember the movie

659
00:48:42.199 --> 00:48:45.840
Wally Yeah for example. Yeah,
yeah, it's like humans were but as

660
00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:49.599
a farm of chickens sucking food out
of a tube, sitting in a chair

661
00:48:49.639 --> 00:48:52.239
because they can't walk anymore. Right, it's convenience. You know. One

662
00:48:52.280 --> 00:48:57.159
of our shows a few weeks ago, we talked about this and I mentioned

663
00:48:57.159 --> 00:49:02.920
how we have exchanged our experience,
that great experience that we had in memories

664
00:49:04.280 --> 00:49:07.599
for convenience. Don't get us wrong, we love convenience up to a certain

665
00:49:07.639 --> 00:49:10.880
point. Convenience is what allows us
to make these shows. Convenience is what

666
00:49:10.960 --> 00:49:16.239
it allows new producers to start producing
from their home. We didn't have the

667
00:49:16.280 --> 00:49:22.000
ability to have a professional recording studios
in our home before. Now I'm of

668
00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:27.559
the idea that just because something is
convenient and possible, doesn't mean it should

669
00:49:27.599 --> 00:49:30.760
be invented or made, you know
what I mean? Because of those same

670
00:49:30.800 --> 00:49:36.480
facts, you lose something. I
was reading tonight an article on movie theaters

671
00:49:36.519 --> 00:49:42.679
and how much they've lost since the
advent of now Netflix and other streaming services

672
00:49:42.719 --> 00:49:49.840
adding the new release movies directly to
their platforms. Although at the movie the

673
00:49:50.239 --> 00:49:54.599
movie companies, yes, they're making
at some points even more money, but

674
00:49:54.679 --> 00:50:00.559
who's losing out on the overall experience. I'm a victim of that too.

675
00:50:00.599 --> 00:50:04.800
But dude, I have a story, a little story. So you know

676
00:50:04.960 --> 00:50:07.519
The Batman, the new movie that
came out, yeah, a couple a

677
00:50:07.599 --> 00:50:10.119
month and a half, and bring
this up. So it's coming out on

678
00:50:10.559 --> 00:50:16.599
HBO Max and like four or five
days, and I decided to not go

679
00:50:16.679 --> 00:50:22.079
to the theater and watch it.
Oh no, and the at the in

680
00:50:22.119 --> 00:50:25.199
the convenience of my own home and
the comfort of my own home, in

681
00:50:25.239 --> 00:50:30.760
my own space. Now the thing
that I have the I have some reasons

682
00:50:30.800 --> 00:50:34.400
for that. One. I seem
to never get lucky at theaters. I'm

683
00:50:34.440 --> 00:50:38.360
sitting next to somebody who has like
a ten inch arm and uh well maybe

684
00:50:39.039 --> 00:50:44.719
five foot sized arm and has a
screaming baby. So that's one thing I

685
00:50:44.760 --> 00:50:47.239
always try to avoid because when I
watch a movie that I know, if

686
00:50:47.239 --> 00:50:51.239
it's a movie I didn't care about, I wouldn't care. But if it's

687
00:50:51.280 --> 00:50:53.159
a movie that I'm like serious about, like The Batman, I want to

688
00:50:53.159 --> 00:50:55.880
watch it in my own privacy.
I want to wife to be at work

689
00:50:55.960 --> 00:51:04.000
still. I want to seriously put
all my personal time and focus on the

690
00:51:04.039 --> 00:51:07.519
movie. Right, and I'm in
my own space. No one can say

691
00:51:07.559 --> 00:51:10.199
anything or tell me anything and go
downstairs get a bite. Right. That's

692
00:51:10.199 --> 00:51:13.840
just me though. But yeah,
I'm a kind of victim of bat Man.

693
00:51:13.840 --> 00:51:19.440
It's like it's a convenience and the
accessibility of being able to stream it

694
00:51:19.760 --> 00:51:24.199
on my television down upstairs by myself
alone in the dark with the curtains closed.

695
00:51:25.559 --> 00:51:29.079
I took my kids to see the
movie The Batman at the theater.

696
00:51:29.599 --> 00:51:30.800
So glad did you? Yeah?
We? And I said, you know

697
00:51:30.840 --> 00:51:35.599
what, I wasn't even in the
mood to see the movie. And the

698
00:51:35.639 --> 00:51:37.559
reason I was there is because they
really wanted to see it. But I'm

699
00:51:37.599 --> 00:51:39.960
so glad I did. That's all
I'm going to tell you. I am

700
00:51:40.039 --> 00:51:43.639
so glad I went to the movies. Yeah, when you have kids,

701
00:51:43.719 --> 00:51:46.519
it's different. I don't have kids, but I know both of you are

702
00:51:46.599 --> 00:51:51.280
parents. But yeah, for me, it's a little different for sure,

703
00:51:51.440 --> 00:51:53.480
and I totally get it. You
know. The last time I went to

704
00:51:53.519 --> 00:51:57.719
move, I watched a movie.
It was it was. It was a

705
00:51:57.760 --> 00:52:00.119
Marvel movie I was super excited about, and I was going. I went

706
00:52:00.159 --> 00:52:04.960
with a group of friends and I
had this guy next to me. It

707
00:52:05.039 --> 00:52:07.280
was a group of the friends and
I've never watched him. Maybe with all

708
00:52:07.320 --> 00:52:13.039
these friends together, and this guy
next to me, who's usually a very

709
00:52:13.599 --> 00:52:19.000
kind of quiet, you know,
not loud person, he was laughing at

710
00:52:19.039 --> 00:52:27.159
every freaking sentence, even parts that
weren't funny. He would be like like

711
00:52:27.320 --> 00:52:31.880
that, literally right next foot away
from my ear. And I was so

712
00:52:31.920 --> 00:52:37.119
pissed. I was pumping my fist
tap the time. I wanted to go

713
00:52:37.360 --> 00:52:40.320
in a few seats ahead of me
where no one was occupying a seat.

714
00:52:42.000 --> 00:52:45.960
It was. It was a nightmare, man. And I think that's what

715
00:52:46.079 --> 00:52:50.159
kind of pushed me over the edge
about theaters is that it's kind of a

716
00:52:50.199 --> 00:52:53.760
mixed bag. I love the idea
of going to this big ass, reclining

717
00:52:53.880 --> 00:52:58.559
leather seat with cup holders and getting
my nachos, getting my hot dog,

718
00:52:58.599 --> 00:53:05.159
getting my pickle and popcorn and and
a massive ten foot tall soda and enjoying

719
00:53:05.199 --> 00:53:07.440
myself. But it's it's kind of
a mixed bag. You never know what

720
00:53:08.239 --> 00:53:10.960
or who you're gonna sit next to
you. This dude was I don't know

721
00:53:12.039 --> 00:53:15.559
if this dude was on his med's
overdose that time or what. Dude,

722
00:53:15.599 --> 00:53:21.760
but he I love you, you
know, dude, Like what the what

723
00:53:21.840 --> 00:53:25.159
do you live? I don't know
what what's wrong with you? But you

724
00:53:25.199 --> 00:53:29.199
know I was trying to be the
nice guy. I just I sucked it

725
00:53:29.239 --> 00:53:31.920
all in, embrace the suck.
And as they saying, when we go

726
00:53:31.960 --> 00:53:36.519
to the movies, we always get
that one annoying person. Usually it's a

727
00:53:36.559 --> 00:53:38.639
woman. And I'm sorry to say
this, ladies, but it's usually a

728
00:53:38.679 --> 00:53:43.760
woman or a young guy, Okay, or an older woman or a young

729
00:53:43.800 --> 00:53:46.280
guy that bring out their phone and
in the theater, it doesn't look like

730
00:53:46.320 --> 00:53:51.960
a phone. It looks like they
opened up a laptop. Right, It's

731
00:53:52.039 --> 00:53:54.679
right. So what I what I
what I gently do without even saying a

732
00:53:54.719 --> 00:54:00.880
word, is I kind of flick
popcorn at their screen? Shut? I

733
00:54:00.960 --> 00:54:05.639
do, I always and I will
I kindly just flick one little colonel at

734
00:54:05.679 --> 00:54:07.920
their screen and they look back and
I said, oh, I'm sorry,

735
00:54:08.079 --> 00:54:12.519
was that bothering you? If they
don't get it, I'll throw another popcorn.

736
00:54:12.599 --> 00:54:15.480
Oh I'm sorry, turn it off
or the buckets on your head.

737
00:54:15.920 --> 00:54:19.440
Yeah, I'm gonna. I used
to like to go to movie theaters with

738
00:54:20.039 --> 00:54:23.159
my with my buddy, my brother, a big al uh, because he

739
00:54:23.239 --> 00:54:25.800
was very animated. You know,
everybody gets mad when they go to a

740
00:54:25.840 --> 00:54:29.679
black theater. And I would always
say, hey, al let's just go

741
00:54:29.760 --> 00:54:31.760
to the movies just with people,
you know, And then he would do

742
00:54:31.800 --> 00:54:35.320
the tip of thing. Oh no
man, oh no, dope, that

743
00:54:35.400 --> 00:54:40.280
don't don't that. Oh damn.
I just sit there and just laugh to

744
00:54:40.360 --> 00:54:43.599
myself. Oh yeah, I couldn't
go to the movies with anybody like that

745
00:54:43.639 --> 00:54:46.159
because I knew it would upset people. Nowadays, what it's almost one hundred

746
00:54:46.239 --> 00:54:52.719
dollars to go watch a movie with
the snacks, the fee to get in,

747
00:54:52.760 --> 00:54:54.760
Well, you gotta think if we're
a family. So we're a family

748
00:54:54.760 --> 00:54:59.920
of four, right, and each
ticket is about seventeen dollars to get into

749
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:02.960
the theater. So you do the
math there. Plus you're paying twenty that

750
00:55:04.119 --> 00:55:08.079
much now, yeah, plus you're
paying twenty two dollars for a large popcorn

751
00:55:08.159 --> 00:55:13.079
and a large drink. Oh yes, great, you get refills, so

752
00:55:13.159 --> 00:55:16.320
it can get up way up there
in one hundred dollars. But we have

753
00:55:16.639 --> 00:55:22.880
a couple of theaters here in Orange
County, in the city of Anaheim Hills

754
00:55:22.880 --> 00:55:27.519
where every Sunday theaters only five dollars, and it's the same theater that they

755
00:55:27.519 --> 00:55:30.440
showed the latest movies. But every
Sunday it's five bucks. Does it get

756
00:55:30.480 --> 00:55:35.400
full? Yeah? Wow. One
thing that chaps from my hide is the

757
00:55:35.440 --> 00:55:37.800
fact that now you've got to reserve
your seats. Now there's a reserved seating.

758
00:55:37.920 --> 00:55:40.599
Is that how it is over there
where you're at David, Oh yeah,

759
00:55:42.599 --> 00:55:46.000
yeah, I actually like that because
I go to the theaters and off

760
00:55:46.079 --> 00:55:50.480
times. I never go on prime
times, and never go on Fridays or

761
00:55:50.519 --> 00:55:55.199
Saturday nights. I'll go it's either
the crack it's a crack of the morning

762
00:55:55.199 --> 00:56:00.320
when they first open up ten or
eleven am. Or I'll go on an

763
00:56:00.320 --> 00:56:04.639
off day like in a Tuesday or
Wednesday or on Monday when and I always

764
00:56:04.679 --> 00:56:07.000
get I'm not gonna say I get
lucky. It's just the way it is.

765
00:56:07.039 --> 00:56:09.719
People don't care to watch movies during
working hours, and that's where I

766
00:56:10.119 --> 00:56:14.639
get to pick my I get I
always picked the most center, perfect spot.

767
00:56:14.719 --> 00:56:17.440
I know exactly where to go in
each theater. Yeah, uh,

768
00:56:17.960 --> 00:56:22.639
but I don't. I don't mind
that. I think it's it's it's better

769
00:56:22.679 --> 00:56:29.960
than fighting have to fight a seat
with some big burly dude, some some

770
00:56:30.199 --> 00:56:34.880
long haired, goate wearing guy,
you know, wearing a wearing a Bruce

771
00:56:34.960 --> 00:56:37.679
Lee suit. Yeah. Can you
imagine that going to a theater and then

772
00:56:38.519 --> 00:56:43.199
the only seat available, even even
though you got there early, and the

773
00:56:43.360 --> 00:56:47.079
only seat available is in the very
far left side in the corner and the

774
00:56:47.119 --> 00:56:52.920
front way in the front is alf
and you got screaming babies and like that.

775
00:56:52.199 --> 00:56:55.760
That's that's what I don't like.
I will I will not go if

776
00:56:55.840 --> 00:56:59.840
I if I cannot pick my spot. Now I agree, Well, Dave,

777

back to the eighties. Hey, thanks

817
01:02:37.719 --> 01:02:39.480
for joining us here. I'm back
to the eighties radio. That was Dave's

818
01:02:39.519 --> 01:02:44.719
amorrow from Dave's archives. If you
get a chance, definitely go visit Dave's

819
01:02:44.840 --> 01:02:50.880
archives on YouTube. There's tons of
great, great eighties commercials there for the

820
01:02:51.280 --> 01:02:55.280
nostalgia in all of us. You've
got to remember how much we hated commercials,

821
01:02:55.320 --> 01:03:00.440
and we talked about that during the
interview, and how much we enjoy

822
01:03:00.559 --> 01:03:04.639
them now because it brings so many
memories. You know what. You nailed

823
01:03:04.679 --> 01:03:07.920
it on the heads. As a
young guy, I hated commercials because it

824
01:03:07.000 --> 01:03:09.719
just it took away from the music. It took away from the jog.

825
01:03:10.000 --> 01:03:14.480
Heck, even on TV, you
were so into his show and then here

826
01:03:14.519 --> 01:03:17.400
comes commercial. It's like, really, do I need to see something about

827
01:03:17.800 --> 01:03:22.199
macaroni and cheese? Do I need
to see anything about toilet paper? Now?

828
01:03:22.239 --> 01:03:25.239
I want to find out what's cracking
right here on my show. When

829
01:03:25.400 --> 01:03:28.760
we would I would watch Monday night
football. You know what I mean.

830
01:03:28.840 --> 01:03:30.480
The game would get intense, and
you know they got to call those timeouts

831
01:03:30.519 --> 01:03:36.559
because you have to breakfrostation identification and
a word from our sponsor. So I

832
01:03:36.719 --> 01:03:39.280
really hated it, just like all
of us did. But the thing is,

833
01:03:39.320 --> 01:03:45.199
I appreciate them now because I am
more of the consumer. I've been

834
01:03:45.239 --> 01:03:49.679
a dad, I'm a bit older. We're doing radio, so sponsorship means

835
01:03:49.800 --> 01:03:53.639
revenue for the program. So please, we love soda pop, We'll eat

836
01:03:53.719 --> 01:03:58.599
macaroni and cheese. We'll use every
type of toilet paper, We'll use every

837
01:03:58.760 --> 01:04:02.400
type of medication that you can offer. Whatever you got, we will endorse.

838
01:04:03.559 --> 01:04:08.199
So I understand. But then the
thing that does get me what Dave's

839
01:04:08.239 --> 01:04:12.840
doing is incredible because it it takes
us back out of that board model.

840
01:04:12.920 --> 01:04:15.159
Man, I hate this commercial boring, but it makes you laugh because man,

841
01:04:15.199 --> 01:04:18.360
I remember this commercial. I hated
this commercial. Or man, this

842
01:04:18.440 --> 01:04:21.880
commercial is funny. So it takes
us back on the yellow brick road to

843
01:04:21.960 --> 01:04:26.760
our memory. But instead of boring
the crap and shit out of us from

844
01:04:26.800 --> 01:04:30.159
back in the eighties, we're finding
ourselves. We love it. Like I

845
01:04:30.280 --> 01:04:33.239
said, my wife really likes to
look at a lot of Dave's stuff because

846
01:04:33.280 --> 01:04:36.639
she likes to sit back and reminisce
and remember, you know, the good

847
01:04:36.679 --> 01:04:41.639
old times, especially when you start
to think and here come those certain commercials

848
01:04:41.760 --> 01:04:45.519
that really touch that soft spot in
our heart that has something to do with

849
01:04:45.639 --> 01:04:51.880
either children or with our own teenage
years, or maybe a relationship we had.

850
01:04:53.079 --> 01:04:57.840
And a certain bit of music from
that commercial brings back memories a certain

851
01:04:57.920 --> 01:05:01.119
area where that commercial was filmed.
Like we're watching on Dave's channel, and

852
01:05:01.159 --> 01:05:03.320
I forgot what toy it was and
it came out, man, and you

853
01:05:03.360 --> 01:05:06.679
know, me and my wife started
talking about the girls and ha ha,

854
01:05:08.079 --> 01:05:10.840
I don't want to get emotional.
You already told you earlier. I watched

855
01:05:11.000 --> 01:05:15.239
very in emotional documentary today. Put
me in put you in the emotional mood.

856
01:05:15.320 --> 01:05:17.480
Yeah. Yeah, So what we're
watching this commercial, man, and

857
01:05:17.559 --> 01:05:23.440
we're remembering, you know, Barbie, you know, we remembering remember buying

858
01:05:23.559 --> 01:05:28.119
that that beach house and and that
van, and you know, I started

859
01:05:28.159 --> 01:05:30.000
making jokes. I started saying,
man, I used to hate walking around

860
01:05:30.079 --> 01:05:33.519
on the weekends in the house sometimes
and those freaking Barbie shoes that they didn't

861
01:05:33.519 --> 01:05:36.679
pick up on the on the shag
rug would stet me in the foot and

862
01:05:36.800 --> 01:05:40.599
I'm kind of, you know,
trying to make myself a mixed drink,

863
01:05:40.639 --> 01:05:45.760
and I'm cussing it. You're cussing, You're you're cussing at Barbie and her

864
01:05:45.840 --> 01:05:49.119
shoes, and you're reminding everybody of
their generation. Yeah, I mean,

865
01:05:49.280 --> 01:05:56.480
yeah, you know, I believe
it was those things that formed a generation

866
01:05:56.960 --> 01:06:00.960
of who we ended up being today. And I can't I can't be thankful

867
01:06:01.119 --> 01:06:05.719
enough and just appreciative that I was
born during the seventies, you know,

868
01:06:05.880 --> 01:06:11.000
seventy two, so I'm part of
my growing up was in the seventies,

869
01:06:11.239 --> 01:06:15.760
and I had all my teenage years
during the during the eighties, and man,

870
01:06:15.239 --> 01:06:19.519
what a time the decade that changed
so many different things around us.

871
01:06:19.760 --> 01:06:24.440
That's exactly right, and you always
say this, and I agree one hundred

872
01:06:24.440 --> 01:06:29.320
percent. The eighties was the soundtrack
of our life. And on that note,

873
01:06:29.880 --> 01:06:32.239
I want to thank you guys for
listening. I appreciate every single one
