Christmas is the time to say I Love

11
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:19.800
you nineteen eighty one. This is
Back to the Eighties Radio, and you

12
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:25.560
have joined us at Christmas time for
our very own Christmas edition of Back to

13
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:54.280
the Eighties. You've got to Kano
and Chang and your stocking with me,

14
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:59.919
ladies and gentlemen, as he is
all the time, and what would we

15
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:04.919
do without the chang. He has
been seen in the eighties doing the voiceover

16
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:12.919
for Konica and Vivitar cameras. He
was also the voice for Chrysler card saying

17
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:16.639
that door is that jar. We
know him as the man who sits at

18
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:24.439
top of Randy's Donuts in A two
two. He is the one and only

19
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:31.759
the living legend the Chang. H
Tuscanos. Thank you for such a warm

20
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:39.720
welcome and a welcome of nothing but
truth, which could be lies. It's

21
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:43.399
like a flip of the coin.
Which one was true, which one was

22
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:47.879
lie? I don't know because the
latter was knocked down from Randy's Donuts.

23
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:54.920
And as I wore my ram colored
tutu who possibly could beat the New Orleans

24
00:04:54.959 --> 00:05:00.000
Saints and maybe be a wild card
birth playoff and take the realm of Super

25
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:05.399
Bowl champs back in a Hollywood movie
type scenario. But that's another story.

26
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:11.399
Merry Christmas to you, your family, everyone out there. Whatever you're going

27
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:15.399
to do, be safe and sane. If you're going to travel, remember

28
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:20.439
have patience because everybody out there is
doing the same thing as you. Trying

29
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:25.079
to get there, get to your
family. You're already stressed out with having

30
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:28.800
to get gifts. Get the gifts
down there, get however you're going to

31
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.839
get there, paid for, done
with, deal with whatever crap you have

32
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:35.439
to deal with back home before you
bail. So don't get stressed. Take

33
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:40.800
it easy. Christmas is not a
time for stress. It's a time for

34
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:47.360
giving, loving and appreciating and remembering. The creator is the one that is

35
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:53.560
the chess king to all of us. Tuscano, my goodness, it's like

36
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:57.120
it was like I was in church
right now and I loved it. I

37
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:00.959
want to welcome everybody listening from around
the world, as we used to do

38
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:04.199
at one point, mention every single
country that does listen to us and support

39
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:10.079
the show. You know, we
are going to be starting a couple of

40
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:15.000
new segments, as we mentioned in
the well not the previous program because we

41
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:17.879
weren't here. Tascono and Chang were
out, but our friends the mechanics Zeke

42
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.240
and Russy were here. But the
program before Oh, by the way,

43
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:25.040
they were. Yeah, they did
a pretty good job of holding down the

44
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:28.399
ford. Don't know if anybody heard
the show, but if you didn't,

45
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:32.240
they're always archived in podcast form.
Oh a big, big reminder if you

46
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:36.680
want to hear the songs in their
entirety, because keep in mind, we

47
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:42.959
cannot play the songs in their entirety
on podcast platforms, so you'll notice that

48
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.399
they're cut off. Yeah, what
a shame. But I can't tell you

49
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:50.879
this. If you listen to k

That's our live radio station with eighties
music twenty four hours a day, the

61
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:46.759
biggest playlist on earth anyway, Thank
you guys for joining us. You know,

62
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:50.319
Christmas time for me, Chang brings
back a lot of memories, memories

63
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:54.040
of you know, my favorite part
of Christmas, believe it or not.

64
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:59.120
Besides the gifts, of course,
it was spending the time at what are

65
00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:03.240
my aunts? How in I was
gonna say Highland Park? I think it

66
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:09.120
was Highland Park that to Island Park. Yeah, it was just a great

67
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:13.800
time because it was the time when
we used to watch Charlie Brown Christmas.

68
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:20.839
We used to watch Rudolph the Red
Nose Reindeer, the Island of Misfit Toys,

69
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:26.120
remember all those. I was just
thinking about the other day and I

70
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:31.399
told my old lady this that we
you know, our generation grew up with

71
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.320
a Peanuts You know, hopefully a
lot of people out there turn your kids

72
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:41.320
onto the Peanuts because to me,
the Peanuts is a show, a cartoon

73
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:45.919
before it's time. Now what a
lot of people don't know. One of

74
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:54.799
the top cartoonists was a Latino,
So that was groundbreaking back then. The

75
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:56.240
other thing I noticed with the Penuts, if you break it down, my

76
00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:03.639
brother, is the diversity. The
ethnicities were different, the backgrounds, the

77
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:11.200
personalities. I mean, how you
you have you have multi races. You

78
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:16.960
have bullies that you have Linus Uh, somebody that is so introverted it's hard

79
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:20.960
for him to do other things without
his blanket, but yet he's loved by

80
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.399
his homies. You have Lucy's a
bully, but yet she's not gonna let

81
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:28.960
nobody with anybody. Charlie Brown,
you know what I mean, He's got

82
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.799
a big heart. You know,
he knows he looks trippy, but he's

83
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:37.039
accepted. It's it's things like that
that I think we grew up with cartoons

84
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:41.480
like that that kind of taught a
generation a moral code. We really definitely

85
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:48.360
need that now. I mean,
who could forget watching Rudolph Redden's Reindeer,

86
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:52.039
you know, yeah, And I
think those were with like stop motion animation.

87
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:54.480
They they took a lot of time. It was done in an era

88
00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:00.600
where they didn't have all the technology
that they do today. And in spite

89
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.559
of that, I got to be
honest, man, in spite of that,

90
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:09.240
in spite of its simplicity and maybe
not as fancy looking as they do

91
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:16.000
today, it was wonderful as a
kid seeing this for the very first time.

92
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:20.559
It took you to places in your
mind. It took you to a

93
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:26.039
special time, a make believe place
in your imagination that we will never forget.

94
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:30.080
I will never forget. As a
matter of fact, I think it

95
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:35.919
was like an escape to a safe
place, an innocent place, and I

96
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:41.519
think some of us as adults reflect
upon that and kind of get that sensation

97
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:46.639
once again. That's why, you
know, let me bring up again if

98
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:52.519
anybody out there is raise their children
with such a type of viewing, I

99
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:58.240
mean, you're blasted. You're teaching
your children more than appreciating something that you

100
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:03.399
treasured. Know how some individuals may
treasure older music or a black and white

101
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:09.919
movie. The same thing with these
Christmas shows, because it's deeper than just

102
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:13.919
you know, Santa Claus is bringing
you presents and the thing on our Christmas

103
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:20.039
show. Remember we're the real deal, so you know, we know that

104
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:26.600
Santa Claus is within our own selves, and Santa Claus is a mere kind

105
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:31.840
of a mirage of a moral code. We're supposed to be giving of ourselves.

106
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:35.559
That means it doesn't matter the weather, doesn't matter where, if we're

107
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:41.480
capable and possibly able to, we
give of ourselves. Doesn't matter what we

108
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:45.960
put in the stocking or the gift
we wrap to somebody. The mere presence

109
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:50.840
and acknowledgment to get there or give
is the whole essence of it. In

110
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.080
Christmas, my brother, you know, you said something interesting, and that

111
00:11:54.360 --> 00:12:00.159
was that Santa Claus, for the
most part, was a reflection of our

112
00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:07.159
innocence at one point. It was
the reflection of another time when parents wanted

113
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:13.159
to bless their kids with happiness.
It was it was a time where we,

114
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:20.039
as kids growing up in the seventies
and eighties, had Christmas at such

115
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:24.360
a high place. I mean,
Christmas was everybody's favorite time of the year.

116
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:30.519
It was everybody's favorite holiday as a
young person and as a child even

117
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:35.679
more so. Sanna and you know, the reindeer and the Christmas songs and

118
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:41.000
all the cartoons from that era.
From that time was just that reflection of

119
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:45.799
innocence. And somewhere along the line
we left. But they're still there,

120
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:50.919
but we left them. And it's
sad that many of the kids today would

121
00:12:52.039 --> 00:13:01.360
rather play some video game that shoots
people and steals and destroys rather than having

122
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:07.759
the innocence of Christmas back into their
life. When back to the eighties comes

123
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.120
back, we have a show,
a very great show, a Christmas show

124
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:16.200
with special guests, special stories,
and a lot more Chang. Don't You

125
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:20.279
go Anywhere? This next portion of
Back to the Eighties Radio is going to

126
00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:24.720
be chang tastic. Remember it's our
Christmas show. But tonight we are paying

127
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:33.480
a tribute to an American legacy in
Southern California rock radio, the passing of

128
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:41.600
seventy five year old great rock freeform
disc jockey. My mentor my influence to

129
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:46.039
do what I'm doing now, mister
Jim Ladd, do not go anywhere.

130
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:50.960
And here's a tune right here for
you and for you, Jim up there

131
00:13:50.480 --> 00:14:09.120
something from the Rolling Stones, because
I'm just waiting on a friend. Legend,

one. I need someone to hating red

137
00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:52.799

I need, just wait till brands.

138
00:16:55.519 --> 00:17:53.799
I'm just waiting, not frame.
Welcome back to Back to the Eighties Radio

139
00:17:53.880 --> 00:18:00.640
with Tuscatawan Chang and is Jim lad
save Lord at the Mercy? And where

140
00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:07.880
are all my long legged ponies out
there in southern California. Welcome to a

141
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:15.079
Christmas version of Tuscano and Chang's Oh
My God, Back to the eighties radio

142
00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:23.160
Tonight. You are going to get
some interviews which we know they're coming in

143
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:30.759
because we got several text messages and
we got a lot to talk about.

144
00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:37.000
We're going to talk about radio and
the importance and the missing of the American

145
00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:45.160
disc jockey, which was an entity
in radio terrestrial radio we are missing today

146
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:49.920
and of course a special tribute to
my mentor, mister Jim Ladd. Now,

147
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:56.480
Tuscano, did you wear a V
neck sweater? Take it off?

148
00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:03.319
But wait, wait it was why
you wore maybe a red shirt with something

149
00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:08.839
green a Santa's hat and you would
tie that sweater around your neck and go

150
00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:15.920
Christmas caroling around the neighborhood with penny
loafers. Or maybe you were the guy

151
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:22.480
wearing black gloves or red gloves,
red satin gloves holding a candle. Wow,

152
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:26.240
you have quite an imagination of who
I was. Never I was never

153
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:30.519
that, no, no, no. During Christmas, I did like wearing

154
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:36.559
some sweaters but mostly I was a
two colored guy who was usually gray or

155
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:40.640
black or three color and navy blue. That's pretty much. Yet, so

156
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:47.240
were you a hoodlum? Were you
stealing with nothing with? Oh my god,

157
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:51.559
no, it's just a During Christmas, I think the most my dad

158
00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:56.640
bought me a red actually was more
like crimson you know, something more like

159
00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:04.559
crimson red. Remember member's only jacket
for me when I was like twelve years

160
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:10.079
old forty five. I'm not a
forty five really, but yeah, he

161
00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:18.319
bought me aally like a burgundy colored
members only jacket for Christmas. Beautiful.

162
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:21.160
Yeah, that's a Christmas color.
That's a Christmas color, that is,

163
00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:23.599
yes, Now did you wear it
that day to visit family? I did

164
00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:29.119
wear it. He he was very
adamant that I would wear my gray,

165
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:36.039
my gray slacks, penny loafers.
Yeah. Anytime my father I saw my

166
00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:40.279
dad strap in a forty five and
his yeah, back of his belt,

167
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:42.839
I knew that I would. Basically, you know that's it, that's right.

168
00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:48.839
Yeah, I wore glasses because I
was afraid of getting pistols such as

169
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:51.640
you wore that jacket, same thing, same thing, same exact thing.

170
00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:56.240
And then after we went to visit
the family. We went to uh lost

171
00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:00.759
Alimitos Racetrack and oh yeah, man, I remember that track. Well,

172
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:06.599
you know a funny Christmas story.
Oh this is a rat, isn't it.

173
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:11.359
Oh the racetrack stories. I'm sure
you can remember going to one of

174
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:17.359
the racetracks. I won't give certain
names because all of them have had horses

175
00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:22.079
die for unknown reasons. But merry
Christmas anyway. But going and remember seeing

176
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:30.079
all the decorations and the lights and
the reads at certain racing stadiums. You

177
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:33.000
know what I mean, It was
so oh beautiful, you know, it

178
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:37.119
was like, oh god, it
was a beautiful thing to see the racetrack

179
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:41.599
during the hallways. It was amazing, and it was like, you know,

180
00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:47.480
and with Dad won, it's like
Santa Claus is right there on the

181
00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:52.759
other side of the counter cashing out
as Dad's given Sunda the magic ticket.

182
00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:59.599
Now, if if Dad lost,
mister Grinch came over, took his ticket,

183
00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:03.559
you know what I mean, barely
gave me a cold hot dog.

184
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:07.880
And my old man would only leave
with one pocket of money rather than two,

185
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:11.559
which was the right was what he
came with. The left is what

186
00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:17.599
he takes. No one knows about
it, and some of that is yours

187
00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:25.720
if you learn to keep your quiet
mouth shut. Yeah, yeah, Merry

188
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:29.240
Christmas. I do know those stories
because oh yeah, my dad on many

189
00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:33.599
occasions took me and yeah, I
had my my awesome you know, for

190
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:37.799
one dollar, we would get a
hot dog and a drink and oh yes,

191
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:41.839
hot dogs that like for example Santainino
or Los Alamino or in Hollywood Park.

192
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:45.400
They were greatest, the greatest tasting
hot dogs ever. Were all beef,

193
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:49.000
weren't they And they seemed to be
fatter, and they gave They weren't

194
00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:52.359
like that dried out bund where their
buns had been sitting there. Know,

195
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:56.079
they were steamed. They were nice
seams. They were like puffy, you

196
00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:59.920
know, and you just like bide
into one of those in your life.

197
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:03.480
Hey man, I could stay at
the track all day. What about the

198
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:07.960
racetrack popcorn? That ship was its
own. Oh everything that they had at

199
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:15.440
the racetrack as far as snacks was
incredible, whether it be the popcorn,

200
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:19.599
the hot dogs, you know what
they even had. What was that that

201
00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:25.279
the box popcorn that was sweet with
like caramel with a prize. Oh that

202
00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:27.680
was kind of like cracker jacks.
Yeah, but they had that. They

203
00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:32.640
had the big boxes of cracker Jackson
as opposed to the cracker jacks you buying

204
00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:36.319
stores. That is correct. Uh. You know what? I remember the

205
00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:44.240
first time I had a racetrack soda. You reminded me of McDonald's, my

206
00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:47.559
greatest coca cola. Yeah, yeah, and it was like, whoa,

207
00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:53.319
this is so refreshing. You know, I remember this about snacks that are

208
00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:57.240
racetrack that's hilarious. I learned how
to read a forum, you know,

209
00:23:57.319 --> 00:24:03.000
which is the april of of betting
on horses when I was ten years old.

210
00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:07.359
My dad would pay me on the
loan with the do crap around the

211
00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:11.759
pad right right, and I would
go with him and then I would give

212
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:17.599
him cash to play win places show. My old man always went baseball on

213
00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:21.240
some of the crap. Now with
baseballs, you go all three and you

214
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:25.720
bet, you know on all three
that way that horse you're going to win.

215
00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:27.519
Either way you may lose a little
bit, but you may make it.

216
00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:32.000
So my old man used to always
tell me what horse do you want?

217
00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:37.880
Read your paper, I'm going to
tell you the way the track lays

218
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:42.319
out, and he would tell me
boom. I would win cash. It

219
00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:47.880
was a great thing. It was
one of the greatest bondings of all holidays

220
00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:52.119
that a father and son could have. Oh, it was incredible, wasn't

221
00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:56.160
Yeah. And but there were times
that when my dad was so cheap he

222
00:24:56.279 --> 00:25:00.519
never bought the forum. He would
he would look for somebody he was about

223
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:03.519
to throw it away and ask for
it. Oh, he would save the

224
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:07.400
three bucks or whatever it was seventy
five cents at that time, I guess

225
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:12.920
now now trip out on this Every
Friday evening when my dad would come home

226
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:18.599
at racing season or any other season, he would send me on my bike

227
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:23.400
up the street to the liquor store
Sam's Liquor, where I later was employed,

228
00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:27.880
to buy the form on Friday night
because it was fresh. It's going

229
00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:30.720
to tell you everything about tomorrow and
Sunday, and you had the give go.

230
00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:34.799
So that was like his Bible.
He would lay that thing out and

231
00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:41.640
boom, boom boom. Now you
want to hear another funny Christmas story.

232
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:45.200
I remember going to bookie joints as
a little kid because my dad used to

233
00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:49.279
take the bets and my god,
my uncle, my Nino. He was

234
00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:56.599
the doorman who kind of looked like
the guy that was uh, mister soprano.

235
00:25:56.599 --> 00:26:00.480
Yeah, yeah, Tony soprano.
Yeah, my grandma, my uncle

236
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.640
looked like that guy. So part
of my childhood I grew up going to

237
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:11.319
a bookie joint. Now these joints
they had somehow underground video of football games

238
00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:17.960
going on the radio, broadcasting where
I think they planted people at the games

239
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:21.960
and you could just hear what was
cracking. And I'll never forget on Christmas

240
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:26.599
when I would go, this whole
underground bar was decked out. I used

241
00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:29.839
to sit at a bar. Well, my old man was taking beds,

242
00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:33.119
and my uncle was at the door, and all these other guys. I

243
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:40.240
knew they were playing Christmas music over
the TVs. And for Christmas I would

244
00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:47.119
sit there any sliced ham with pineapples, chili beans, rolls, fruit salad,

245
00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:53.839
and I would get to watch cartoons
in the very corner only on Christmas.

246
00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:59.200
Good would I do that? Good
times? I can tell grate that

247
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:03.960
father and uncle time. Ah,
yes, week times, the best of

248
00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:07.279
times, ladies and gentlemen. We
digressed a bit, but the nineteen eighties

249
00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:11.680
they were just a vibrant era,
and a vibrant era for Christmas time,

250
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:21.079
and especially during Christmas time the radio
stations because they featured yes, they featured

251
00:27:21.160 --> 00:27:26.640
Christmas music, but every radio personality
across the different genres, some of the

252
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:33.279
greatest radio personalities. As a matter
of fact, Christmas was just special to

253
00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:38.480
everybody, and they made you feel
the Christmas spirit. If that cheesy line

254
00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:42.559
of Christmas spirit, they actually made
you feel that. You would feel it.

255
00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:45.920
You know, you would walk around
town, you'd go to malls.

256
00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:52.640
The Christmas decorations, the animatronics inside
malls were just off the hook, you

257
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:59.000
know, for such a simple time, as many claimed that the eighties were,

258
00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:06.400
it was so advanced. We had
such such a such eye candy at

259
00:28:06.519 --> 00:28:11.119
malls compared to today where it's just
simply boring. They're just lights and a

260
00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:15.480
couple of plants and trees. That's
about it. A lot of the disc

261
00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:21.000
jockeys back in the eighties and before
UH would pump up Christmas. It was

262
00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:25.839
they would sell Christmas. Uh.
They it was you could depend on everything

263
00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:30.480
anything that you're from the radio.
UH with a disc jockey v of music.

264
00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:34.119
It was getting you prepared for Christmas, as opposed to now nothing but

265
00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:41.079
commercials getting you ready to buy,
buy, buy, instead of feel feel,

266
00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:45.559
feel, so we had great jocks. I say, all across the

267
00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:51.240
board, from the East coast to
the West coast. Everybody has a certain

268
00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:56.160
disc jockey or radio program that they
either grew up with or grew to love

269
00:28:56.759 --> 00:29:03.319
that had some type of a Christmas
show. I mean with us Southern California

270
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:07.000
boys, you know, I grew
up with AM radio at first with a

271
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:15.680
real Dawn Steel Christmas shows k or
Christmas shows k os KM E T k

272
00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:25.079
NAC all had Christmas shows K West. Some of even the mallow radio disc

273
00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:30.200
jockeys that that we saw in the
past had a Christmas theme. I think

274
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:38.759
radio lacks that now. Terrest for
your radio is so compressed in what the

275
00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:45.319
popular thing is, what the now
thing is, the where we want to

276
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:52.720
be tight ass is and not spend
money on bringing people in with quality people

277
00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:56.599
who will bring people in make you
feel loved and wanted and like a friend.

278
00:29:57.039 --> 00:30:02.640
No, we're going to push what
are bonchers won? So Christmas on

279
00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:07.799
the radio is totally lost what it
used to be. Tonight, as we

280
00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:11.839
talk about Christmas and we're going to
talk about radio, let's bring them together

281
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:18.440
now some of the essence of radio
back in the eighties, True brother,

282
00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:26.480
we heard Christmas songs boom right after
Thanksgiving. Little by little, you know,

283
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:30.839
start getting you ready great artists.
You know, nowadays we see less

284
00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:37.480
and less music has lost its originality. A program called headsets. This is

285
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:41.200
an hour of music specifically to listen
to, as we say, in headphones.

286
00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:44.559
And if you have a pair of
headphones, please put them on now.

287
00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:48.200
If not, try to set to
yourself and the speakers and then send

288
00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:51.720
to yourself. Anyway, lower the
lights and get ready for this next hour.

289
00:30:51.880 --> 00:30:55.559
I hope you enjoy this. A
program called headsets. Well, first

290
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:59.880
of all, you know, Jim
Ladd was bigger than life. To me.

291
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:07.759
Jim Ladd was the essence of what
a disc jockey is and should be.

292
00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:14.240
And what I mean by that is
what I feel a disc jockey is

293
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:18.480
in everyone that I've listened to.
And I'm getting pretty much to be an

294
00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:25.200
old motherfucker. But he's your friend
that's not in the room. He's your

295
00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:32.440
friend that takes you away from any
animosity or anything bad or even through that

296
00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:36.759
bad kind of guide you through.
He's that voice most of the time at

297
00:31:36.799 --> 00:31:41.000
the end of your day. It's
going to relieve your mind, take you

298
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:45.559
away from things, make you think
Jim Ladd pretty much was the voice of

299
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:52.039
reason, kind of like your news
in a raw and truthful way. Jim

300
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:59.160
Ladd, I always felt, was
a Native American spirit. The dude believed

301
00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:04.480
in peace. The dude believed in
telling you straight up. But the guy

302
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:10.440
believed in healing you with music,
kind words, a little bit of wisdom.

303
00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:20.359
Put your mind on the track to
unify rather than you know, declassify

304
00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:27.720
or defy mankind, God or your
fellow man. Jim Ladd opened up the

305
00:32:27.880 --> 00:32:36.240
door I believe to freeform radio the
mind's eye. You know. If anything

306
00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:39.599
you ever heard from him back in
the days of K E. T.

307
00:32:39.920 --> 00:32:46.599
K Los when he also went with
that other radio station ninety seven to one,

308
00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:53.680
he brought along a presence, a
spirit, and I believe the essence

309
00:32:53.720 --> 00:33:00.559
of being a disc jockey anybody that
ever steps up to a microphone to deliver

310
00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:07.920
a few things you have to deliver
that you can identify, you can unify,

311
00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:13.200
and you can bring everybody together with
the whisper of your voice and a

312
00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:16.759
great tune. Jim Ladd did that
for me. That cat got me through

313
00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:22.960
so much crap growing up in high
school and after when I met him at

314
00:33:23.079 --> 00:33:31.559
a Black Crows day. They were
going to be brought into the rock Walk

315
00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:36.799
at the Guitar Center, and me
and my buddies were working in the area.

316
00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:38.960
We're working on a pad not too
far. We went over there,

317
00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:45.039
we saw what was going down,
went in there. We're walking around getting

318
00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:50.359
ready for the ceremony. I saw
Jim Ladd. I went up and I

319
00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:54.960
talked to him, introduced myself.
He was with Stephen King. You're familiar

320
00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:59.599
with Stephen King, right, of
course, Yeah, the author and so

321
00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:05.519
you know for this horror horror stories. Right. I went up to him,

322
00:34:05.559 --> 00:34:10.079
started talking to him, and he
accepted me like nothing else. He

323
00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:15.800
didn't brush me off. And it
was It was insane because we got into

324
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:20.840
a very in depth conversation about radio, the state of radio, the possibility

325
00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:29.119
of free form terrestrial radio coming to
a close because corporate America wanting to take

326
00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:35.000
over. And the one thing I'll
never forget about that conversation, which is

327
00:34:35.079 --> 00:34:38.239
crazy, because I had many conversations
with him later in the future, and

328
00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:42.599
he told me one thing. He
goes, if you have something to say,

329
00:34:42.719 --> 00:34:45.840
never be afraid to say it.
But if you ever get to the

330
00:34:45.559 --> 00:34:52.119
plateau, to say it and move
generations or mountains. Then always think about

331
00:34:52.159 --> 00:34:57.360
it, always feel it, and
don't be afraid to say it. Yeah,

332
00:34:58.159 --> 00:35:01.440
and something that resonated with me now. Jim Ladd is also another guy.

333
00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:07.039
I went to his book signing radio
waves, talked with him, got

334
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:10.960
my book signed. I carried on
a conversation with him for twenty minutes.

335
00:35:12.280 --> 00:35:15.920
My wife broke us up. He
told me to stick around. We had

336
00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:21.079
another conversation at his break for thirty
minutes about radio, about life, society.

337
00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:27.320
He tripped out on you know that
I had a family, and he

338
00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:30.440
suggested, he goes, if you
ever get a chance, you should go

339
00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:35.559
into radio because you got a lot
to say, he said, And the

340
00:35:35.719 --> 00:35:42.039
music we're talking about. You know, you've studied your music and somebody like

341
00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:45.480
you should be on the radio.
You should stop doing what you're going what

342
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:49.920
you're doing and try to make yourself
present on the radio. Well, you

343
00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:52.440
know, brother, it took me
a long time to do that. You

344
00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:54.800
know, I raised my kids,
raised my family, but I always kind

345
00:35:54.840 --> 00:36:00.599
of kept up in touch with him, you know, via I call him,

346
00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:04.239
but back then I had MySpace,
so I was able to connect with

347
00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:07.679
him. And finally when I decided, you know, I would get feedback

348
00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:13.880
from him, messages a messenger,
and it's insane that he was that kind

349
00:36:13.880 --> 00:36:16.280
of an individual, not only on
the radio but personally when I did meet

350
00:36:16.360 --> 00:36:21.400
him. That kept me going and
for him to keep track of what I

351
00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:24.679
was doing, when me and you
were doing it is everything. Individuals like

352
00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:30.079
that were never going to see.
But there's so many disc jockeys that are

353
00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:34.320
like that. Yeah, something incredible
about Jim Ladd. It was a prominent

354
00:36:34.360 --> 00:36:37.639
figure in the eighties for free form
radio, I mean late seventies and eighties

355
00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:43.400
where DJ's had the freedom to curate
playlists without you know, all this rigid

356
00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:47.679
formatting. He hosted shows featuring you
know, wide ranges of music, album

357
00:36:47.760 --> 00:36:52.920
cuts, deep tracks, mighty man. He was all about the music and

358
00:36:53.159 --> 00:37:00.159
playing a role where depending on what
the mood was like the day, is

359
00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:05.239
the you know, the ambiance was
depending on that, he would bring up

360
00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:08.119
his own playlist. In nineteen eighty
one, there was a well publicized incident

361
00:37:08.159 --> 00:37:13.199
with Jim Ladd because he was fired
by KOs ninety five and a half ninety

362
00:37:13.239 --> 00:37:17.719
five point five due to disagreements over
the station's changing format. And what happened

363
00:37:17.840 --> 00:37:23.039
was that he was refusing to basically
do what they were telling him for a

364
00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:30.639
more structured playlist, because they were
undermining, underscoring Lad's commitment to artistic freedom.

365
00:37:31.159 --> 00:37:38.119
That's what he was all about.
This is Freddie Mercury with Queen talking

366
00:37:38.159 --> 00:38:35.639
about good old radio Gaga. I'll
tell and what's your like? I believe

367
00:38:36.840 --> 00:38:44.199
routine age, nothing and that everything

396
00:46:50.920 --> 00:47:14.000
I'm on a Messagon who Radio radio
radio. Welcome back to back to

397
00:47:14.119 --> 00:47:17.719
the eighties radio. And that was
Queen Radio. Gaga followed up with a

398
00:47:17.760 --> 00:47:23.039
little bit of I wish I was
in Tewana Walla Voodoo with I'm on the

399
00:47:23.199 --> 00:47:28.400
Mexican radio and you are on the
radio with Tuscano and Chang right here,

400
00:47:28.599 --> 00:47:34.360
back to the eighties radio Christmas rendition. But yet we are paying homage to

401
00:47:34.519 --> 00:47:40.480
a great legend of rock and roll
radios throughout southern California. His later years

402
00:47:40.559 --> 00:47:49.280
on serious radio. Some of you
may remember him of deep tracks, as

403
00:47:49.360 --> 00:47:52.079
we talk about Jim Ladd and growing
up with Jim Ladd, as I did

404
00:47:52.760 --> 00:48:05.599
Tuscanand also I remember when Jim Ladd
first came upon the the kind of the

405
00:48:06.239 --> 00:48:12.800
term. It was theater of the
mind. And anybody I think that loves

406
00:48:12.880 --> 00:48:17.880
radio believes it's theater of the mind. Every song we hear will take us

407
00:48:19.000 --> 00:48:23.320
back and put a vivid memory,
which is theater of the mind. Jim

408
00:48:23.480 --> 00:48:32.320
Ladd had a way to put a
set of songs in tune with the vibe

409
00:48:32.719 --> 00:48:40.000
his words and the message that he
was trying to convey to his listeners,

410
00:48:40.280 --> 00:48:45.920
which he called his tribe, which
I think is beautiful to be called the

411
00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:54.320
tribe. Jim Ladd opened the door
for that unexpected, uninhibited type of radio

412
00:48:54.840 --> 00:49:00.199
to get a message, to open
your eyes, to take you away with

413
00:49:00.079 --> 00:49:08.639
a few wisdom phrases, some poetry, kind words that are harsh and true.

414
00:49:09.360 --> 00:49:13.840
Some may hate it, but that's
the way it rolls. But always

415
00:49:14.440 --> 00:49:20.760
the essence of music to unify.
Hopefully you guys out there can feel with

416
00:49:20.920 --> 00:49:23.960
me and Tuscana are trying to bring
you in a way. We are bringing

417
00:49:24.000 --> 00:49:29.679
you in our own form free form
radio. We try to take you away

418
00:49:30.159 --> 00:49:34.480
from all the bs of your day. We try to take you away from

419
00:49:34.519 --> 00:49:38.480
all the fear that they put on
your screen or your devices, and all

420
00:49:38.559 --> 00:49:43.239
the worry. We got enough crap
to worry about. If we're parents,

421
00:49:43.840 --> 00:49:49.199
if we're grandparents, uncles, aunts, whatever we do, we have a

422
00:49:49.280 --> 00:49:53.800
lot of responsibility rather than to worry
about what else we have to worry about.

423
00:49:54.199 --> 00:49:59.840
So we are trying to take you
somewhere that radio used to take you

424
00:50:00.880 --> 00:50:07.639
away from the everyday crap. Free
form radio. Many of you have your

425
00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:12.400
own favorite DJs across the globe that
took you there, just Conda. What

426
00:50:13.599 --> 00:50:25.400
do you think free form radio is
missing from the terrestrial as compared to podcasts

427
00:50:25.880 --> 00:50:30.840
to where anybody can do a podcast. Now, do you think there is

428
00:50:30.920 --> 00:50:38.360
a certain art form that is missing
that terrestrial was to podcast form? You're

429
00:50:38.440 --> 00:50:45.440
mentioning free forum radio and absolutely,
because what I think is missing is individuality

430
00:50:45.159 --> 00:50:52.320
and personalities. You know, the
flexibility free form radio gave flexibility to the

431
00:50:52.440 --> 00:50:58.280
radio personality to express their individuality,
connect with listeners on a more personal level.

432
00:50:59.159 --> 00:51:05.960
And podcasting. Although ladies and gentlemen, you're hearing us on a podcast

433
00:51:06.119 --> 00:51:09.599
platform, you know that our show
is more like a radio show. That's

434
00:51:09.960 --> 00:51:19.920
what we gear towards because we understand
the radio of the past. We understand

435
00:51:20.360 --> 00:51:27.360
how it not only attracts listeners,
but there is an appeal, there is

436
00:51:27.519 --> 00:51:34.079
an individuality of it all, and
this is something where it's not just two

437
00:51:34.159 --> 00:51:38.559
guys talking. There's a point to
our madness. And when we come in

438
00:51:38.679 --> 00:51:44.079
and we play the different cuts of
music, you know we're not just playing

439
00:51:44.679 --> 00:51:51.480
whatever is is, you know,
played on an eighties station, the most

440
00:51:51.519 --> 00:51:55.320
famous songs from any artists, because
those are played to death. There is

441
00:51:55.400 --> 00:52:01.559
a reason why we play what we
play. Usually we choose songs that will

442
00:52:01.599 --> 00:52:05.960
go with what we're feeling, that
will go with what we're going to be

443
00:52:06.039 --> 00:52:10.199
talking about, that will enhance the
theme that we're talking about. You know,

444
00:52:10.639 --> 00:52:16.039
we love to delve into album cuts, going into the deep tracks of

445
00:52:16.159 --> 00:52:21.840
this is what used to appeal to
listeners with musical tastes. Today is different.

446
00:52:22.239 --> 00:52:28.360
Today people want things now because that's
what they were brainwashed to think that

447
00:52:28.440 --> 00:52:31.320
they need. And that's the only
way I can say it chang is that

448
00:52:31.480 --> 00:52:37.880
people are being brainwashed into believing that
you don't want to listen to radio the

449
00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:43.800
way it was. You just want
to listen to a playlist on streaming music.

450
00:52:44.760 --> 00:52:47.960
You don't need a vinyl, you
don't need a cassette, you don't

451
00:52:49.039 --> 00:52:52.679
need CDs. Everything is on your
handheld. Man. Everything is much easier.

452
00:52:52.760 --> 00:52:57.920
You can have any song that you
want of the ten billion songs that

453
00:52:57.960 --> 00:53:01.639
are out there at your disposal.
Well, the problem with that is there

454
00:53:01.960 --> 00:53:09.719
is no identification neither with the artist. There is no individuality there, there's

455
00:53:09.800 --> 00:53:15.239
nothing. It's all empty listening.
Look today, you ask anybody with the

456
00:53:15.280 --> 00:53:16.519
phone, do you have a playlist? Sure, they'll give you. It's

457
00:53:16.599 --> 00:53:21.960
their version of what we used to
have as mixtapes. But when you and

458
00:53:22.159 --> 00:53:27.079
I chain used to listen to radio, and we used to listen to artists

459
00:53:27.119 --> 00:53:30.239
on cassatts, on CDs or on
albums, we would listen to the entire

460
00:53:30.440 --> 00:53:34.440
album. There were songs that we
hated, songs that we liked, but

461
00:53:34.559 --> 00:53:38.920
we listened to the whole thing.
And this paid respect to the artists that

462
00:53:39.079 --> 00:53:44.760
took their time, that suffered,
that went through all the hoops to get

463
00:53:44.800 --> 00:53:47.920
to the point where they're selling an
album when we're listening. So yeah,

464
00:53:49.119 --> 00:53:52.440
I think that there was there is
a big difference between free form radio as

465
00:53:52.519 --> 00:53:59.880
it was and radio today being dead
compared to what it was, and now

466
00:54:00.119 --> 00:54:05.679
podcasting that. Yeah, we we
have our form of free form radio.

467
00:54:05.920 --> 00:54:13.800
You know, the fall of terrestrial
radio is pretty much the fall of freedom.

468
00:54:14.880 --> 00:54:19.079
You know, radio used to be
a thing that we went to that

469
00:54:19.239 --> 00:54:23.800
we were entertained all the time.
You know, before TV, before cell

470
00:54:23.880 --> 00:54:29.800
phones, devices, before computers,
you know, people only had a radio

471
00:54:30.000 --> 00:54:35.280
to rely on. So it was
the personality. The voice on that box

472
00:54:35.920 --> 00:54:42.559
is what sold everything. And I
think with the fall of terrestrial radio and

473
00:54:42.679 --> 00:54:50.800
the greed of corporate radio where it's
monopolized over and over again and they're merely

474
00:54:51.440 --> 00:54:57.960
making up a batch of mush in
one cylinder and dishing it off in different

475
00:54:58.079 --> 00:55:04.960
forms, kills the whole essence of
what radio is and what it was about.

476
00:55:06.000 --> 00:55:13.079
The sad thing is radio has lost
that bond, that closeness, that

477
00:55:13.480 --> 00:55:17.480
kind of thing we can trust.
There is no more voice from the box

478
00:55:17.559 --> 00:55:22.679
that we can go to, that
we can listen to, that we can

479
00:55:23.280 --> 00:55:28.039
kind of connect with somebody else somewhere. We don't even know where they're at,

480
00:55:28.119 --> 00:55:31.079
or we even know them, but
somewhere they're listening to this cat and

481
00:55:31.199 --> 00:55:37.880
that song and all together you unite. Yeah. I think sometimes if we

482
00:55:37.039 --> 00:55:43.159
still had that essence in radio,
maybe we wouldn't have so many psychotic jackasses

483
00:55:43.239 --> 00:55:50.119
out there that our own are so
often titled, so so much headspace only

484
00:55:50.320 --> 00:55:54.800
to hate, get the poison injected
to their ears, what they're hearing on

485
00:55:54.880 --> 00:55:59.800
their devices and what they want rather
than what it used to be, like

486
00:56:00.559 --> 00:56:04.360
a voice or reason. Somebody,
take you out of the insanity. I

487
00:56:04.440 --> 00:56:07.880
mean, who's to say DJ's back. Then we're a lot more than what

488
00:56:08.000 --> 00:56:13.519
they are now. Yeah, we're
talking entertainers. Look, the autonomy to

489
00:56:13.719 --> 00:56:20.400
choose your own tracks based on individual
tastes and preferences. Wow, what an

490
00:56:20.480 --> 00:56:24.119
incredible opportunity us growing up in SoCal, so only really knowing so Cal and

491
00:56:24.400 --> 00:56:29.320
we you know, I know that
we're way beyond out there with our beautiful

492
00:56:29.360 --> 00:56:34.079
listeners out there. We greatly appreciate
you. You catch are changtastic. What

493
00:56:34.239 --> 00:56:37.199
you do for us is chang hoorrific. You know, we just appreciate you.

494
00:56:37.400 --> 00:56:42.039
So we hope that you listen because
we're giving you the vibe that we're

495
00:56:42.079 --> 00:56:45.719
talking about trying to give you.
Free form radio take you away from the

496
00:56:45.800 --> 00:56:50.079
crap. If there's anything serious that's
going to go down, you know you're

497
00:56:50.119 --> 00:56:52.320
gonna hear what we got to say
about it. We come out straight.

498
00:56:53.119 --> 00:56:59.199
So we're trying to bring back the
essence of free form radio. That is

499
00:56:59.239 --> 00:57:05.119
a dying breeze and something that Jim
Ladd and many others created in radio.

500
00:57:05.880 --> 00:57:08.199
I mean, it's something we've totally
lost. We can go all the way

501
00:57:08.280 --> 00:57:13.840
back to AM radio, right Tosconald
wolf Man, Jack I mean cats like

502
00:57:13.960 --> 00:57:17.760
that. You know, personalities,
people that are not afraid to pump up

503
00:57:17.760 --> 00:57:22.920
the volume, put a face on
that say something to make people think.

504
00:57:23.519 --> 00:57:29.400
You know, shock radio is shock
radio. But it got a bad name

505
00:57:29.480 --> 00:57:36.119
at a certain time in the mid
eighties because they were trying to censor everything.

506
00:57:36.400 --> 00:57:42.079
Remember, we saw a censorship in
music sales, music production, albums,

507
00:57:42.519 --> 00:57:45.840
the content, and they try to
do it with radio itself. And

508
00:57:46.000 --> 00:57:52.639
we did see that in southern California. The day that I saw Disney by

509
00:57:52.800 --> 00:57:57.920
k Los, the day I saw
kmy T leave the side of the one

510
00:57:58.000 --> 00:58:01.199
on one Freeway, the day I
saw K and AC go down in the

511
00:58:01.360 --> 00:58:07.840
thunder, it was like, wow, happening at home, It's happening everywhere.

512
00:58:07.239 --> 00:58:12.360
I mean, they cut off the
circuit of unity. We're missing that

513
00:58:12.559 --> 00:58:15.920
now, program us all you want. Oh man, I could download music

514
00:58:16.000 --> 00:58:21.119
for free, but yet in the
day, you could crank on your radio

515
00:58:21.239 --> 00:58:25.440
station, listen to an album side
from a job, dave it to you

516
00:58:25.559 --> 00:58:30.320
straight and made you feel the music, made you want to listen to the

517
00:58:30.440 --> 00:58:34.199
music as opposed today. That's all
I gotta say. Got that right.

518
00:58:34.320 --> 00:58:38.719
Free form radio in the eighties a
dynamic and influential force that provided platform for

519
00:58:38.880 --> 00:58:45.280
creativity, diversity, and individual expression
within the radio industry. It remains changing

520
00:58:45.280 --> 00:58:52.039
and it will always remain an incredibly
important part of radio history, influencing the

521
00:58:52.119 --> 00:58:58.119
development of alternative and independent music scenes. On that note, here is a

522
00:58:58.239 --> 00:59:05.320
song for you from a group that
was telling us what was the future of

523
00:59:05.559 --> 00:59:13.079
radio, the Buggles. This is
video killed the Radio Star back to the

524
00:59:13.159 --> 00:59:19.760
eighties radio. I heard you want
more while it was back in fifteen two,

525
00:59:20.760 --> 00:59:24.320
d ain't awaken and the tuning in
on you. If I was young,

526
00:59:24.400 --> 00:59:32.679
it didn't stop you coming through.
They took the credit for your second

527
00:59:32.760 --> 00:59:40.199
symphony. Were machine on your technology, And now I understand the problems you

528
00:59:40.320 --> 00:59:58.559
could see Je. What did you
tell him Star Star the juice game and

529
00:59:58.800 --> 01:00:08.280
broke your And then we meet him
at the studio. We can't the way

530
01:00:08.320 --> 01:00:17.519
back, and it seems so long, and you're much You were the first

531
01:00:17.599 --> 01:00:30.239
spot, you were the last Ideo
Mai Star Ideo Star. In my mind

532
01:00:30.559 --> 01:01:06.320
and in my car, we con'try
wind. We've gone too far. Pettis

533
01:01:07.559 --> 01:01:16.119
start, Petty start in my mind
and in my car we can't rewind.

534
01:01:16.280 --> 01:01:46.360
We've got too bad. But yours
names bros. Bon Petty Hills, Madi

535
01:01:46.800 --> 01:01:55.719
start, Pity of Hills, start, Patty Gills, that start, Patio

536
01:01:57.079 --> 01:02:30.559
Gills start inspires you and really really
is kind of like an epiphany. That

537
01:02:30.039 --> 01:02:34.800
is the mark of a good songwriter. And I think that's one of those

538
01:02:34.880 --> 01:02:38.360
songs because it goes deeper than yeah, it's great playing, great production,

539
01:02:38.679 --> 01:02:44.519
great vocals, great melody, great
lyrics. It goes even beyond that because

540
01:02:44.679 --> 01:02:49.280
it really does give you something to
think about. And that line that he

541
01:02:49.440 --> 01:02:52.400
thinks it's about forgiveness, you know, the heart of the matter is about

542
01:02:52.440 --> 01:02:58.000
forgiveness is something that I've had to
consider in my life, you know,

543
01:02:58.920 --> 01:03:04.519
and it's in a re one.
Someone puts that particular situation that you've lived

544
01:03:04.519 --> 01:03:07.719
through and I've lived through, We've
all had to do that, and puts

545
01:03:07.719 --> 01:03:10.079
it in a way where you can
think about it, and it kind of

546
01:03:10.119 --> 01:03:15.280
takes it out of bouncing around inside
of your brain pan and puts it in

547
01:03:15.360 --> 01:03:17.519
a bit more objective way to look
at it and go, oh, yeah,

548
01:03:17.679 --> 01:03:20.960
that's yeah, that's the way to
look at it. Yeah, Henley's

549
01:03:21.039 --> 01:03:23.800
right, it's about forgiveness. Welcome
back to Back to the Eighties Radio with

550
01:03:23.880 --> 01:03:29.400
a couple of cool cats, Tuscatto
and Chang as we reminisce about the late

551
01:03:29.480 --> 01:03:34.559
great Jim Ladd and radio jocks of
what it used to be. We are

552
01:03:34.840 --> 01:03:37.360
hanging with a couple of cool Oh

Hey, the hotlines rail there in

def Leppard banner that your son got you

555
01:03:49.559 --> 01:03:52.440
out of the yard sale? The
wonder we didn't say? You're closer?

556
01:03:52.519 --> 01:03:55.320
That's to the phone. Who is
it? Hold on? You know what,

557
01:03:55.360 --> 01:04:00.360
I'll get it. No, okay, hold on, I got it.

558
01:04:00.599 --> 01:04:03.440
Let me move this shit all right? Hey, well, welcome back

559
01:04:03.480 --> 01:04:06.639
to the eighties radio chain right here. Who's calling? Dang it? Stupid

560
01:04:06.719 --> 01:04:12.360
wrapping paper? This is like Groundhog's
Day, but with your laughs more often.

561
01:04:13.440 --> 01:04:17.800
Oh no, is this you?
You crazy little bastard. That's right,

562
01:04:18.239 --> 01:04:23.360
I'm anough on the edge. So
what, Oh my god, ladies

563
01:04:23.400 --> 01:04:28.360
and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen,
I gotta tell you right now. This

564
01:04:28.519 --> 01:04:30.880
is a cat that me and Tuscano
ran into when we were still in Christmas

565
01:04:30.920 --> 01:04:35.679
trees one night after drinking Yukon jack
after a show over at ARV on a

566
01:04:35.800 --> 01:04:43.559
Christmas, and this is Elfie,
the angry, disgruntled elf Elfie. Now,

567
01:04:43.840 --> 01:04:45.920
how come you're not? How come
you're not? How come you're not

568
01:04:46.039 --> 01:04:51.000
at the salt pool making toys?
What happened? Well, well, easy,

569
01:04:51.119 --> 01:04:55.519
with the tone of voice that you
too botous? Now wait a minute,

570
01:04:55.599 --> 01:04:58.440
now, wait a minute. I
know you had room and board,

571
01:04:58.960 --> 01:05:00.920
hot chocolate. Wow, I'm working
at a mall, at a toy store.

572
01:05:01.039 --> 01:05:06.280
Whoo to do? What didn't you
like about Satan Nick Sanna, gosh

573
01:05:06.599 --> 01:05:13.360
dang it? Oh the usual frostbite, the relentless cheering, the never ending

574
01:05:13.480 --> 01:05:16.880
toy making. And I have to
put up with that guy dressed in red

575
01:05:16.920 --> 01:05:23.280
and white all that time. Sick
and tired of it? Oh sure you

576
01:05:23.400 --> 01:05:27.360
put up with mister ho ho ho
horrible. What's not to love? People

577
01:05:27.480 --> 01:05:30.400
say, I tell you what's not
to love? I'll give me a break

578
01:05:30.519 --> 01:05:35.519
with the north Pole and all the
nonsense, the endless lists, the impossible

579
01:05:35.639 --> 01:05:43.199
deadlinings of toy making and cheering and
all happiness all the time. I'm sick

580
01:05:43.239 --> 01:05:45.119
and tired of it. I just
want you to get something through your thick

581
01:05:45.239 --> 01:05:48.800
skulls. You know all those lists
that Santa has, Well, I got

582
01:05:48.840 --> 01:05:54.320
a list of my own? Is
it a naughty list? And I know

583
01:05:54.480 --> 01:05:59.559
who's naughty and nice too? I
take you snapshots on my phone from Santa's

584
01:05:59.599 --> 01:06:02.880
list, And you know what,
whenever he leaves a nice present from now

585
01:06:03.000 --> 01:06:08.599
on, I'm taking him back,
taking him all back, always making me

586
01:06:08.719 --> 01:06:13.639
work over time, always the same
pay, nothing's new, the same old

587
01:06:13.719 --> 01:06:17.239
smell of hot cocoa and gingerbread.
I'm so sick and tired of it.

588
01:06:17.760 --> 01:06:23.800
Oh my gosh, you know what. I quit? I quit. I

589
01:06:24.159 --> 01:06:30.039
quit. If I have to hear
another song and see another ball of mistletoe,

590
01:06:30.079 --> 01:06:35.239
I'm gonna shove it straight up Sanna's
unicorn, right where Rudolph's red nose

591
01:06:35.400 --> 01:06:41.159
doesn't shine. Oh hey, take
it easy, take it so? Uh

592
01:06:42.119 --> 01:06:45.440
you know he is. I'm a
little pissed off. So tell me what

593
01:06:45.960 --> 01:06:49.480
what is it that you want?
I mean, what is it you want

594
01:06:49.519 --> 01:06:53.639
from Sata? Oh that's easy,
I'll tell you what I want. Less

595
01:06:53.800 --> 01:06:58.800
work, more play and an annual
comedy night. Is that too much to

596
01:06:58.920 --> 01:07:03.239
ask? After all, I am
the number one comedian in the North Pole.

597
01:07:04.280 --> 01:07:10.000
Oh Elfie, hey, alfie.
Uh so what's it like working at

598
01:07:10.039 --> 01:07:14.440
the mall? If I have to
put up with another screaming, crying little

599
01:07:14.599 --> 01:07:19.360
kid, and all those moms bringing
their kids. They have no idea.

600
01:07:19.559 --> 01:07:26.440
The life we have is ouves no
idea why because we don't matter to any

601
01:07:26.519 --> 01:07:33.800
of them. All that they care
for is the big red fat So now,

602
01:07:33.920 --> 01:07:36.639
Elfie, if you were Santa Claus, would you put them on your

603
01:07:36.760 --> 01:07:40.960
naughty or nice list? Oh?
I wouldn't put them on the knotty list.

604
01:07:41.159 --> 01:07:45.119
I would feed them straight to Crampus. You know, Crampus is right.

605
01:07:45.559 --> 01:07:54.239
Crampus is the other side and steals
them away on Christmas Eve. That's

606
01:07:54.440 --> 01:08:00.320
right, cramps are now, Elfie. I know you've got a lot.

607
01:08:00.960 --> 01:08:03.800
You're on break right now. Now, Alfie, what mall you're working at?

608
01:08:03.880 --> 01:08:06.400
Right now? You know, tell
the listeners, maybe you get some

609
01:08:06.480 --> 01:08:11.559
business down there. I'm working at
the Lakewood Cinema. Oh, don't interrupt

610
01:08:11.679 --> 01:08:15.680
me. You heating angry midget,
dank long hair hippie. You were like

611
01:08:15.760 --> 01:08:19.560
a midget on a fidget. I'm
at the mall Monday through Friday, six

612
01:08:19.760 --> 01:08:28.399
to eight pm, every single week. The best part about working there is

613
01:08:28.680 --> 01:08:32.279
after work I get to go to
my own toy making shop. It's called

614
01:08:32.359 --> 01:08:39.600
mister Furley's Bar. That's right,
drown my sorrows and some good iris cream.

615
01:08:39.800 --> 01:08:43.880
Oh no, now, Alfie,
you have anything to say to the

616
01:08:44.000 --> 01:08:46.439
listeners before you leave Tscana? You
want to hear a certain song, a

617
01:08:46.520 --> 01:08:48.880
hard rock song. What do you
want to hear? All right, listen

618
01:08:49.039 --> 01:08:53.680
very well what I want you to
do? I want you and that other

619
01:08:53.800 --> 01:08:58.439
guy pick their noses all the time. Send me a bottle of double oaked

620
01:08:58.600 --> 01:09:01.840
wood for reserve. That's right,
none of the cheap stuff, all right

621
01:09:02.520 --> 01:09:11.079
that I gotta go ho ho ho
bye bye yulfy. Wow. That's that's

622
01:09:11.119 --> 01:09:15.199
one disgruntled out man. You know
what. I never would have thought that

623
01:09:15.399 --> 01:09:19.960
there would be so much anger in
such a tiny person. Well I know,

624
01:09:20.920 --> 01:09:25.479
I mean, he's got enough anger
to be a job. But I'm

625
01:09:25.479 --> 01:09:29.960
afraid he would have abused the horse
with real you know, he's an angry

626
01:09:30.039 --> 01:09:33.079
bout. You know, no matter
how nice something is, I guess there's

627
01:09:33.119 --> 01:09:36.119
people that will always get tired of
it. What what do you say?

628
01:09:36.159 --> 01:09:42.000
We play some music for everybody.
This next song right now is a song

629
01:09:42.439 --> 01:09:46.239
for everybody out there to remember something
from Triumph Fight The Good Fight. Right

630
01:09:46.279 --> 01:09:55.119
here at back to the eighties radio
with the Tuskanawan Chang Christmas rendition with respect

you sleep. Hey, some of you

642
01:15:49.880 --> 01:15:55.720
remember the eighties five right well it
lives loud and proud. On back to

643
01:15:55.800 --> 01:16:45.199
the eighties with my pals to Scatto
and Jay s s. Speaking with the

644
01:16:45.399 --> 01:16:56.199
family boys of Samion, Joses lays
out song so res contused, but your

645
01:16:56.479 --> 01:17:17.399
model way magic cats on spading dams
of the Plan. Tim taking your sun

646
01:17:17.720 --> 01:17:46.039
times crackled like why God, somebody
has at all time his way, think

647
01:17:46.520 --> 01:18:00.920
marry the fight some walls as the
shape of making my way, not a

648
01:18:01.560 --> 01:18:17.840
challenge question like your honestly what play
music? Pacis and then is compromising a

649
01:18:18.239 --> 01:18:48.880
shallopy? Not the death of music, struggle by the jams and time was

650
01:18:49.359 --> 01:20:15.680
playing Based on most sims, the
puffets were written st Goose with sounds sails

651
01:20:15.720 --> 01:21:00.840
there there leasing should be so powerful
you could stand on your head and on

652
01:21:00.039 --> 01:21:05.479
the ceiling. That position would not
only be unavailable but also undignified. And

653
01:21:05.720 --> 01:21:12.560
now back to the eighties with Tuscano
and Chang always press fight the good fight

654
01:21:12.720 --> 01:21:19.560
meaning don't ever give up. Oh
and also Canada's greatest band besides Trying,

655
01:21:19.640 --> 01:21:26.079
but even greater with the spirit of
the radio, which coincides with what we

656
01:21:26.199 --> 01:21:31.520
are talking about, the essence of
the rock and roll or terrestrial radio disc

657
01:21:31.760 --> 01:21:38.239
jockey and what they meant and why
they were their own. Tuscano, as

658
01:21:38.319 --> 01:21:42.840
we talk about DJs, I mean
we can go across the board, you

659
01:21:43.000 --> 01:21:50.319
know, guys like in SoCal Machine
Gun, Kelly Rick des Moucho, Morales,

660
01:21:50.439 --> 01:21:57.920
Immunity, I mean I mean big. We had a big boy Mark

661
01:21:58.000 --> 01:22:02.720
and Brian Uh. You know Bob
Coburn growing up, you know in the

662
01:22:02.800 --> 01:22:09.199
eighties, you know l A Rick
d Mucho Morale, Benny Martin, You,

663
01:22:09.520 --> 01:22:15.399
Benny Martinez, Sanity Kiss f M
with her own batch of personalities,

664
01:22:15.520 --> 01:22:20.119
k Los the Fall of k e
T can a C which I would always

665
01:22:20.520 --> 01:22:25.840
uh think of. There would have
been no one O five point five kny

666
01:22:25.920 --> 01:22:30.840
Ce in Long Beach, California.
Uh if there wasn't a Jim Ladd of

667
01:22:30.079 --> 01:22:34.880
kmy T and the Mighty Metal Hour
that he incorporated with k e T,

668
01:22:35.560 --> 01:22:42.600
which became a two to four hour
show which became the Mighty Metal Shop where

669
01:22:42.600 --> 01:22:47.159
a lot of LA bands got heard, recognized. He brought a face and

670
01:22:47.359 --> 01:22:55.920
kind of an education, a class
uh, kind of a lesson on heavy

671
01:22:56.000 --> 01:22:59.840
metal, kind of incorporated to free
form radio, you know, gave it

672
01:22:59.880 --> 01:23:06.000
a home of valiance in heavy metal. He did that with all forms of

673
01:23:06.079 --> 01:23:11.960
rock and roll. I mean,
look at the radio stations all across.

674
01:23:12.479 --> 01:23:18.520
You have your you have your hip
hop radio stations, you have your dance

675
01:23:18.760 --> 01:23:26.560
radio stations, rock radio stations,
country radio stations, you have your classic

676
01:23:27.000 --> 01:23:32.279
classical music radio stations. You're easy
listening. But if you break it down.

677
01:23:32.600 --> 01:23:38.399
All these radio stations that came about
back in the day of the eighties

678
01:23:38.479 --> 01:23:45.760
were known for radio perality. This
is it at the beginning of your party

679
01:23:45.000 --> 01:23:51.119
music marathon with money in the Music

693
01:24:59.520 --> 01:25:02.520
lit it up and it was all
improv nothing written down, just stuff that

694
01:25:02.640 --> 01:25:12.560
came from their heads. And these
guys were radio's essence. This is radio

695
01:25:13.159 --> 01:25:15.760
from the nineteen eighties. Here's the
quick sample this chuck boom boom cannon.

696

chuck boom boom cannon. There were great

702
01:25:41.079 --> 01:25:45.880
radio duos as well, and let's
not forget let's not forget one of the

703
01:25:46.039 --> 01:25:54.760
greatest, if not the most listened
to voice in the entire globe. At

704
01:25:54.840 --> 01:25:59.439
some point it was the man,
the myth and the legend himself that took

705
01:25:59.560 --> 01:26:04.960
after casey case of that was Shadow
Stevens Hollywood. This is American Top forty.

706
01:26:05.079 --> 01:26:09.880
I'm Shadow Stevens here for that weekly
trip to the top of pop Paradise.

707
01:26:10.199 --> 01:26:13.560
We'll count down the biggest hits on
the Billboard Charts, the official weekly

708
01:26:13.680 --> 01:26:17.359
survey of radio airplay and record sales
across the USA. Our final destination the

709
01:26:17.520 --> 01:26:23.439
big number one. Number four debuts
in this week's countdown, and we lead

710
01:26:23.479 --> 01:26:26.000
off with one of them. It's
the first time in the chart for a

711
01:26:26.079 --> 01:26:30.399
singer known to a lot of happening
hipsters and the royals of jazz. He's

712
01:26:30.520 --> 01:26:35.439
jazz vocalist. But Bobby McFerrin,
you know, we talked about duos,

713
01:26:35.800 --> 01:26:42.319
dynamic duos, people that we looked
up to as far as the radio career.

714
01:26:42.760 --> 01:26:45.279
I want to let you listen to
a little clip here of one of

715
01:26:45.399 --> 01:26:55.560
our duo heroes. This is Mark
and Brian talking to the great Rolling Stones

716
01:26:55.600 --> 01:27:00.680
guitarist Keith Richard. MTV recently announced
the next rocker getting an extreme makeup will

717
01:27:00.720 --> 01:27:06.079
be none other than Rolling Stones guitarist
Keith Richards on the phone to discuss.

718
01:27:06.199 --> 01:27:13.840
This is Keith himself. Keith,
how's it go, good man? I'm

719
01:27:13.880 --> 01:27:16.079
getting an extreme makeover? Can you
do it? That's what we heard.

720
01:27:16.399 --> 01:27:20.840
I can't. I can't get no
satisfaction, but I can get some botocks

721
01:27:20.920 --> 01:27:32.880
and a facelift so I don't look
like I'm dead. I mean, I

722
01:27:32.960 --> 01:27:38.640
mean, Vince Neil is one fat, drunk s ob but he looks pretty

723
01:27:38.720 --> 01:27:42.199
damn good compared to me, right
right, So I thought, if he's

724
01:27:42.279 --> 01:27:46.800
getting an extreme makeo, I definitely
need one of those bad boys. My

725
01:27:46.960 --> 01:27:53.119
face is so wrinkly, even my
crows feet have crows feet and my berries

726
01:27:53.159 --> 01:28:03.319
hang. So though I've got I'll
chuck him into my sock. Me personally,

727
01:28:03.399 --> 01:28:10.600
I Mark and Brian came onto the
scene in nineteen eighty seven when KOOS

728
01:28:10.760 --> 01:28:15.920
was going through a big change.
LA radio was going These cats came from

729
01:28:15.960 --> 01:28:23.000
the I think the Midwest took it
by control Alabama. Yeah, you're correct,

730
01:28:24.359 --> 01:28:27.760
Mark and Brian. I remember listening
to Mark and Brian as I was

731
01:28:27.960 --> 01:28:33.239
going to expect my first child.
Mark and Brian was the guys that I

732
01:28:33.279 --> 01:28:38.520
would listen to at six o'clock in
the morning as I was going to Alabama

733
01:28:38.600 --> 01:28:44.159
actually Painters Union, because I did
have a child. Those cats got me

734
01:28:44.359 --> 01:28:53.840
through parenthood, becoming a man,
going to work early, through just bad

735
01:28:53.960 --> 01:28:57.279
days, good days, you know, days of rain. If I stayed

736
01:28:57.319 --> 01:29:01.560
home listen to Mark and Brian.
A dynamic duel of radio are something kind

737
01:29:01.600 --> 01:29:09.159
of like your sound system, where
you hear your right speaker and your left

738
01:29:09.199 --> 01:29:15.159
speaker, but together they're a boombox. A dual personality on the radio to

739
01:29:15.279 --> 01:29:20.920
me, has always been like a
double back offense on a football team.

740
01:29:21.199 --> 01:29:25.079
You have a fullback and you have
a running back. You don't know which

741
01:29:25.199 --> 01:29:28.520
cat's going to get the ball,
get a pass on them, and blast

742
01:29:28.560 --> 01:29:31.880
through the fools in front of him. Radio jocks that are duals, I

743
01:29:32.000 --> 01:29:38.720
think have that capability, you know
where they can It's like a tennis ping

744
01:29:38.840 --> 01:29:42.560
pong match of what we're trying to
give the listener. You know, it's

745
01:29:42.600 --> 01:29:45.039
always good to be the Ying and
the Yang, the Tuscano and the Chang,

746

748
01:29:54.880 --> 01:30:01.520
California radio. I mean, there's
so many duels throughout I think American broadcasting.

749
01:30:02.119 --> 01:30:06.399
I mean every coast that just brought
something different to the party. That

750
01:30:06.520 --> 01:30:11.039
would be awesome to hear it all
the time, you know. I well,

751
01:30:11.119 --> 01:30:15.680
if you guys hear a couple more
little clips because they're just nothing describes

752
01:30:15.760 --> 01:30:19.520

755
01:30:28.520 --> 01:30:30.199
show, that's gonna be the key
right here. That's why this is gonna

766
01:31:38.159 --> 01:31:45.760
von Bronson. I think it's gonna
be youle with the loss of DJs and

767
01:31:45.840 --> 01:31:50.800
the loss of terrestrial radio, being
able to express itself, to be free

768
01:31:51.119 --> 01:31:59.960
and adhere to everybody on the common
ground without prejudice, without political staff,

769
01:32:00.000 --> 01:32:05.600
that is, without judgment, has
been gone so long society is of the

770
01:32:05.800 --> 01:32:11.560
matter. Now look at the way
society is with a loss of radio and

771
01:32:11.680 --> 01:32:15.079
DJ's. Look what's happened with TV, same stuff we get, the programming

772
01:32:15.119 --> 01:32:23.600
commercials. There's no other kind of
flow of creativity or positivity the way radio

773
01:32:23.800 --> 01:32:27.960
used to be with disc jockeys.
For everybody listening, you're tuned into a

774

five shittiest gifts I ever got for
Christmas. I'm not gonna give you in

885
01:47:27.960 --> 01:47:33.439
any specific order. I remember one
time my aunt gave me a pack of

886
01:47:34.479 --> 01:47:43.279
twelve underwear, small chili chokers,
tidy whities, and I believe I was

887
01:47:43.439 --> 01:47:53.840
probably Chilly Choke eighteen or nineteen.
Another time I got a twenty four pack

888
01:47:54.039 --> 01:48:00.720
of Trojan condoms. Another time one
year, I've got uh five bottles of

889
01:48:00.960 --> 01:48:08.239
Old Spice cologne. And now that
that was my favorite? No, that's

890
01:48:08.279 --> 01:48:12.520
a that that's a drag. Another
time I got a ticket, a one

891
01:48:12.640 --> 01:48:16.439
ticket to go check out the Grateful
Dead, and that was your favorite?

892
01:48:17.119 --> 01:48:19.960
I hate the Grateful Dead? And
why would I even go bay myself?

893
01:48:20.680 --> 01:48:29.039
Now? Now trip out on this. Another time I got a gift certificate

894
01:48:29.840 --> 01:48:36.600
for McDonald's and it only gave me
ten bucks worth. Those were the top

895
01:48:36.680 --> 01:48:41.600
five crappiest gifts I think I've ever
received. Oh wait a minute, I

896
01:48:41.720 --> 01:48:45.359
just remember this one goes back when
I was a kid. Anybody that is

897
01:48:45.479 --> 01:48:50.319
my age? Remember the Hasbro g
I Joe action figure, Yes, of

898
01:48:50.439 --> 01:48:55.920
course, lifelike hair scar on his
face beard, Yes, you know,

899
01:48:56.199 --> 01:49:01.600
kung fu grip. I got a
generic Joe. No you did. They

900
01:49:01.640 --> 01:49:05.159
were like bigger, bigger, They're
bigger, bigger in size, weren't they?

901
01:49:05.680 --> 01:49:13.479
Oh they were bigger in size.
Uh they they were a little bit

902
01:49:13.560 --> 01:49:16.399
more cheaper made, you know what
I mean? So like they were.

903
01:49:19.439 --> 01:49:28.399
They were like their hands really only
stayed in one formation like out, kind

904
01:49:28.439 --> 01:49:30.920
of like Ken, but a little
bit more where the fingers would hold a

905
01:49:31.000 --> 01:49:34.119
gun, but like if the dude
went in a battle, the gun's gonna

906
01:49:34.119 --> 01:49:39.640
fall out, not like G I
Joe where you yes, anyway, this

907
01:49:39.800 --> 01:49:45.439
cat's name was g I John Nice. It was like the gay version of

908
01:49:45.560 --> 01:49:49.439
G I Joe and no offense,
but it was like it was like Ken

909
01:49:49.960 --> 01:49:59.560
going to war. You know,
you mentioned the five pack of of No

910
01:49:59.720 --> 01:50:03.600
No, a five pack of old
Spies. That reminded me. So once

911
01:50:03.640 --> 01:50:10.399
in a while I would get a
gift, and you know, they would

912
01:50:10.439 --> 01:50:14.439
give me cologne. Let me name
you some of the colonnes I've gotten for

913
01:50:15.199 --> 01:50:20.520
Christmas that were not even were These
were so bad you wouldn't even pour them

914
01:50:20.960 --> 01:50:26.079
in the toilet at a public bathroom
because they would stack up the place.

915
01:50:26.439 --> 01:50:30.479
Are you ready for this? Eighties
these are way older than eighties, But

916
01:50:30.560 --> 01:50:39.159
there were colognes found at like Thrifties. Okay, here we go, eighties

917
01:50:39.239 --> 01:50:45.439
colognes that you can find at Thrifti's
drug store English leather. Oh, I

918
01:50:45.520 --> 01:50:55.960
mean I had some of the baron
the baron Pierre Carden and Brute thirty three

919
01:50:58.319 --> 01:51:01.119
and one more. This one is
going to bring back memory for a lot

920
01:51:01.159 --> 01:51:08.840
of you guys. Two more Aqua
Velva and my dad's favorite of all time,

921
01:51:10.079 --> 01:51:15.399
Aramis. Aramis wasn't too bad.
Now, did you think it was

922
01:51:15.479 --> 01:51:18.880
degrading because you were Italian that you
weren't going to wear it? No?

923
01:51:19.640 --> 01:51:25.239
I think the most no, but
the most degrading cologne I've ever received was

924
01:51:26.520 --> 01:51:31.399
was the It was actually an after
shave and it was men and men in

925
01:51:31.600 --> 01:51:36.600
after shaving. It was green liquid. That thing would burn your faith.

926
01:51:38.560 --> 01:51:42.279
Even as a child, without shaving, you would feel that you just fresh

927
01:51:43.640 --> 01:51:46.439
though. Yeah, you know.
But then again when we got in the

928
01:51:46.479 --> 01:51:50.920
eighties, you know, cologne changed. Well, we had we had decent

929
01:51:51.000 --> 01:51:55.880
cologne in the eighties, Like if
you went to a may Company or a

930
01:51:56.000 --> 01:52:00.159
Robinson's, you had the good cologne. But if you you know, if

931
01:52:00.199 --> 01:52:03.000
you didn't have that much money to
spend, you know that you'd get stuck

932
01:52:03.079 --> 01:52:09.720
with some of the most horrific sense
of all time. You know. Chang

933
01:52:09.880 --> 01:52:13.239
and and that were some of the
colognes that that we used to get back

934
01:52:13.279 --> 01:52:15.960
in the eight Oh. Shoot,
we're getting another phone call here. This

935
01:52:16.119 --> 01:52:20.840
is a. This is from our
oh, this is from our white phone.

936
01:52:21.840 --> 01:52:27.840
This phone we only get when we
have celebrities that have passed on.

937
01:52:28.079 --> 01:52:30.680
But this is also connected to the
same line from the North Pole. That's

938
01:52:30.760 --> 01:52:34.159
kind of weird. Let's see,
all right, who do we have on

939
01:52:34.359 --> 01:52:40.800
the line here? Back to the
eighties radio? Hey hey, everybody,

01:54:13.479 --> 01:54:17.800

under the sheets with Sandvis prove the
joy God. Oh, come on,

967
01:55:17.039 --> 01:55:21.079
I don't think that that's what they're
requesting. You know what I'm talking about?

968
01:55:21.439 --> 01:55:28.920
And I'm talking to Saint Peter.

Anyway, man, I was it snowed

976
01:56:10.079 --> 01:56:14.720
in Christmas? At least it was
snowing in my hotel room. We had

977
01:56:14.760 --> 01:56:18.039
a gig, you know, down
at the Big House, and we had

978
01:56:18.159 --> 01:56:26.960
Son of We ordered some of Santa's
reindeer, but they were Vixen's dress like

979

994
01:58:03.119 --> 01:58:10.439
back to Back to the eighties Christmas
rendition with Tuscano and Chang. We've been

995
01:58:10.479 --> 01:58:15.840
talking about all kinds. We've been
interrupted with some interesting Christmas phone calls.

996
01:58:15.520 --> 01:58:21.319
Oh remember it's a Christmas theme.
But we are remembering the late great rock

997
01:58:21.359 --> 01:58:29.520
and roll jock of Southern California.
King the tribal Chief Jim Ladd passed away

998
01:58:29.560 --> 01:58:35.239
a few days ago, and we
are talking about the essence of the jock

999
01:58:35.840 --> 01:58:43.479
platform and the jock presence of terrestrial
radio, and hopefully you catch and kiddies

1000
01:58:43.520 --> 01:58:47.039
that join us appreciate what we're trying
to do. We're trying to bring back

1001
01:58:47.079 --> 01:58:50.840
what it used to be. There's
other cats you can listen to that are

1002
01:58:50.840 --> 01:58:57.399
probably bringing some flavors. So please
give as much energy and like to whoever

1003
01:58:57.479 --> 01:59:01.840
you listen to and keep that floating. Hopefully cats like us and the big

1004
01:59:01.920 --> 01:59:06.680
wigs will get a glimpse and maybe
get an enema and bring back free form

1005
01:59:08.479 --> 01:59:14.199
radio. So we appreciate your ears. Now, Tuscano, I've gotta tell

1006
01:59:14.239 --> 01:59:19.039
you this Christmas, It's going to
be Christmas. Okay, put our hearts

1007
01:59:19.399 --> 01:59:25.399
in the right place. Okay,
Now, Tiscano, going to ask you

1008
01:59:25.520 --> 01:59:33.199
a very serious question. Do you
prefer a Douglas fur or a noble Christmas

1009
01:59:33.239 --> 01:59:42.439
tree? Oh? Well, I
believe that I prefer a Douglas fur and

1010
01:59:42.560 --> 01:59:45.760
I do prefer a real live tree
over one that is you know that you've

1011
01:59:45.800 --> 01:59:50.640
got to put together every single year. That's just personal preference. I understand

1012
01:59:50.680 --> 01:59:57.079
the convenience of having a fake tree, and your bottom line is you're saving

1013
01:59:57.199 --> 02:00:04.239
money. But to have that that
natural tree and some people complain that,

1014
02:00:04.359 --> 02:00:09.159
oh, they kill the tree by, you know, by selling it,

1015
02:00:09.319 --> 02:00:13.680
and I understand that fact. So
but I love the smell. I love

1016
02:00:13.720 --> 02:00:18.600
the smell of a beautiful pine pine
tree Christmas tree in the house. But

1017
02:00:18.800 --> 02:00:21.039
you know, it goes both ways, because you can get a real nice

1018
02:00:21.119 --> 02:00:28.840
fake tree to look real. But
you know, I prefer a Douglas fur

1019
02:00:29.920 --> 02:00:31.159
You know what, my brother,
I agree with what you said, and

1020
02:00:31.279 --> 02:00:40.199
I am a man that prefers the
noble tree. I like the clearance between

1021
02:00:40.319 --> 02:00:44.960
branches. I like the chear drop
effect of the noble of the structure,

1022
02:00:45.039 --> 02:00:48.680
of the of the leafing. I
like to have a lot of my ornaments

1023
02:00:48.880 --> 02:00:56.800
on display in the middle of these
gaps of the tree. I to to

1024
02:00:57.119 --> 02:01:01.119
bring back what you said about a
real tree over a fake tree. I've

1025
02:01:01.199 --> 02:01:05.119
had to do both. At one
time, my girls were already bigger.

1026
02:01:05.159 --> 02:01:09.920
There was only Vanessa and Jennifer at
the house with me and the wife.

1027
02:01:10.640 --> 02:01:15.319
And instead of us getting a big
tree, my daughters wanted to be who

1028
02:01:15.439 --> 02:01:18.920
they are and they went and got
us a fake Christmas tree. Now it

1029
02:01:19.159 --> 02:01:24.960
was black, so we decor really. Yeah, Now we decorated it with

1030
02:01:25.239 --> 02:01:31.800
like the theme of the night before
Christmas, some Halloween Christmas type slash decos.

1031
02:01:32.239 --> 02:01:38.279
So it came cool, But that's
like a horror Christmas tree. That's

1032
02:01:38.439 --> 02:01:41.359
right, bro, you know what
I'm saying That sometimes you got you know,

1033
02:01:41.800 --> 02:01:44.880
it was cool for them, but
to me, when you bring a

1034
02:01:44.960 --> 02:01:49.319
fresh tree is bringing in that true
essence of what Christmas is. You know,

1035
02:01:49.640 --> 02:01:54.720
Christmas, you get your decorations out, but really things don't happen until

1036
02:01:54.720 --> 02:01:59.479
you got that fresh tree. Whether
you have a big family and you go

1037
02:01:59.560 --> 02:02:02.159
out with your kids to get that
tree and buy it somewhere, whether you're

1038
02:02:02.520 --> 02:02:08.720
fortunate to live like where I'm at
and take your own tree like yours.

1039
02:02:08.800 --> 02:02:12.720
Truly, I went out and cut
my own Charlie Brown out tree, seeing

1040
02:02:12.760 --> 02:02:15.920
that it's only me the wife,
my two pits, you know, and

1041
02:02:16.720 --> 02:02:23.800
looking for sasquatch. But bringing home
that tree is like going out and bringing

1042
02:02:23.920 --> 02:02:27.800
Christmas finally home that because you get
to do that now, right, You

1043
02:02:27.920 --> 02:02:31.159
get to cut your own tree.
Yeah, bro, it's cool. Yeah,

1044
02:02:31.520 --> 02:02:34.399
And where I'm at, you know, you can go up there and

1045
02:02:34.520 --> 02:02:39.479
do it because they don't really mind, because it gets away the possibility of

1046
02:02:39.560 --> 02:02:45.479
something that's going to ignite and possibly
evacuate me and my family again for an

1047
02:02:45.680 --> 02:02:49.199
entire month, like it did that
very last time we had fires up here,

1048
02:02:49.720 --> 02:02:54.760
so away from that. But when
you go out and get a tree,

1049
02:02:54.840 --> 02:02:58.760
I mean, it just brings home
Christmas set scent, that feeling of

1050
02:02:58.840 --> 02:03:04.800
a fresh tree, that excitement,
you know what I mean, The freshness

1051
02:03:04.880 --> 02:03:10.000
it gives to your house. It
makes your house smell like Christmas. What

1052
02:03:10.199 --> 02:03:15.560
other time does a room or a
house smell like a freshly cut tree?

1053
02:03:15.199 --> 02:03:21.840
What is a freshly cut tree but
an essence of life? Yeah? I

1054
02:03:23.079 --> 02:03:26.399
love that, you know what.
I love that. What does a plant

1055
02:03:26.520 --> 02:03:31.079
do a tree? It absorbs negative
oxygen and puts out positive oxygen. So

1056
02:03:31.720 --> 02:03:38.319
to me, getting a Christmas tree, that's what it does. Whatever bad

1057
02:03:38.520 --> 02:03:43.399
vibe was up before that holiday,
the birth of the Creator, the day

1058
02:03:43.479 --> 02:03:47.720
of appreciation, the day that we
appreciate being a family, being alive,

1059
02:03:47.880 --> 02:03:53.239
being what we have, no matter
if we have money or not. Appreciation,

1060
02:03:54.159 --> 02:03:58.960
the appreciation of a tree coming in
and absorbing all the toxins and bringing

1061
02:03:59.000 --> 02:04:05.199
out nothing but love, hope,
and prosperity within your own household unit.

1062
02:04:05.720 --> 02:04:14.000
To me, that's what a Christmas
tree is all about. Maybe maybe I

1063
02:04:14.119 --> 02:04:18.640
think a little bit too deep.
Maybe you know what it seems when you

1064
02:04:18.720 --> 02:04:24.680
have a live Christmas tree. Maybe
it's psychological, maybe it's not, but

1065
02:04:24.840 --> 02:04:31.920
it does seem to absorb all the
negative crap you know that we deal with

1066
02:04:32.039 --> 02:04:36.880
on a daily basis, that even
can be inside of our homes. It

1067
02:04:38.159 --> 02:04:42.199
sucks them up. Maybe that's why
they turn so brown so quickly. Who

1068
02:04:42.279 --> 02:04:51.119
knows, you know what. The
one thing about Christmas that, to me,

1069
02:04:53.279 --> 02:05:00.319
it's kind of a holiday. It
doesn't matter where you come from or

1070
02:05:00.159 --> 02:05:06.840
what you got. When Christmas comes
around, everything around you is different.

1071
02:05:08.760 --> 02:05:15.199
But it all depends on what your
community, your community does about it.

1072
02:05:15.680 --> 02:05:20.880
You know, I come from a
community growing up to where the streets were

1073
02:05:21.039 --> 02:05:28.800
decorated for Christmas. You know,
your highways, your thorough ways, your

1074
02:05:28.880 --> 02:05:32.800
boulevards. They had stuff on poles, you know, trees were decorated.

1075
02:05:33.279 --> 02:05:36.960
I come from a neighbor you know, I come from a neighborhood where every

1076
02:05:38.039 --> 02:05:45.079
house was decorated, lighted up Christmas. The front trees were wrapped in foil

1077
02:05:45.800 --> 02:05:50.399
or red ribbon, you know,
red ribbon around them. Everything was giving

1078
02:05:50.479 --> 02:06:00.399
you the essence of hope, you
know, care, unity, love,

1079
02:06:00.920 --> 02:06:09.319
appreciation put you in a different mind
sort you know back in to the eighties.

1080
02:06:11.439 --> 02:06:16.560
It carried that on up into certain
degrees in certain neighborhoods into the nineties.

1081
02:06:17.239 --> 02:06:24.640
So you know, Christmas in the
eighties it was totally different than now.

1082
02:06:26.039 --> 02:06:31.039
Back then, I remember in the
eighties you can go see many neighborhoods

1083
02:06:31.319 --> 02:06:38.840
decorated. There was way more neighborhoods
decorated to the tee than we see nowadays.

1084
02:06:39.319 --> 02:06:42.840
Yeah, it seems like now that
it's all lost a very few homes.

1085
02:06:43.079 --> 02:06:45.039
And as a matter of fact,
there used to be some neighborhoods where

1086
02:06:45.039 --> 02:06:48.439
Santa I used to come visit.
Do you remember on the streets in these

1087
02:06:48.640 --> 02:06:54.880
like giant parade type float in a
reindeer slate. It was. It was

1088
02:06:55.079 --> 02:07:00.239
phenomenal. When when I became a
dad in eighty seven, I was in

1089
02:07:00.479 --> 02:07:04.720
Santa Fe Springs. My kid was
like tiny a year up to maybe three

1090
02:07:04.840 --> 02:07:09.960
years old til I moved to Downey
and Santa Fe Springs. I think you

1091
02:07:10.039 --> 02:07:16.760
remember on Christmas they had the street
closure to where Santa drove down the streets

1092
02:07:17.520 --> 02:07:21.720
with Missus claws on a decorated bed
of a truck and they would cruise down

1093
02:07:21.760 --> 02:07:26.520
the streets and Santa Fe springs,
you know, and toss out candies and

1094
02:07:26.960 --> 02:07:31.680
take pictures with kids. You know, stuff like that is long gone.

1095
02:07:32.319 --> 02:07:43.000
When I moved to Downey from eighty
nine into the ninety nine, took it

1096
02:07:43.119 --> 02:07:47.199
over another decade, but the true
essence of what Christmas was was still going

1097
02:07:47.239 --> 02:07:53.119
on. Where I was taking my
girls when they were three, four and

1098
02:07:53.319 --> 02:07:57.199
five to see Santa Claus in front
of a neighborhood house, to where the

1099
02:07:57.279 --> 02:08:03.319
whole neighborhood was lit up. Know
where people were, you know, singing

1100
02:08:03.439 --> 02:08:09.800
Christmas carols. Every house within that
cult de sac was based on Christmas,

1101
02:08:11.039 --> 02:08:16.720
almost like a Disneyland of neighborhoods.
People dressed up, there was characters on

1102
02:08:16.840 --> 02:08:24.279
their large figures. I mean,
the essence of Christmas nowadays is so so

1103
02:08:24.680 --> 02:08:33.479
almost lost and materialistic because you know, even before COVID and after COVID you

1104
02:08:33.600 --> 02:08:37.840
could go ahead and order gifts somewhere
else. You're not going out and shopping,

1105
02:08:37.920 --> 02:08:41.600
You're not meeting with people. You're
not getting that true feeling like you

1106
02:08:41.800 --> 02:08:45.479
used to be. You know,
nowadays you can give somebody a gift card

1107
02:08:46.119 --> 02:08:50.720
rather than go and remember who they
are and get them something you really think

1108
02:08:50.880 --> 02:08:56.039
is going to fit their personality something
that we've lost, you know, in

1109
02:08:56.199 --> 02:09:03.319
tradition from the eighties till now on
Christmas. So yeah, we've lost that

1110
02:09:03.479 --> 02:09:13.000
being personable and that just closeness of
actually choosing something from the heart and having

1111
02:09:13.079 --> 02:09:18.880
them like whatever they got exactly.
And my point is how it gets into

1112
02:09:18.079 --> 02:09:24.199
what we're discussing tonight with the loss
of terrestrial radio connection, the loss of

1113
02:09:24.359 --> 02:09:30.760
a personality that's a DJ that will
connect with you at these certain times is

1114
02:09:30.960 --> 02:09:35.520
kind of a little bit to fault
on why we're at where we're at,

1115
02:09:37.119 --> 02:09:43.520
because nowadays people can bluetooth in your
vehicle. There is no terrestrial radio even

1116
02:09:43.560 --> 02:09:46.920
if you couldn't. That is choice
that is not fabricated, that is not

1117
02:09:48.079 --> 02:09:56.640
plastic, that is not pretentious,
that is not already grafted and written in

1118
02:09:56.800 --> 02:10:01.760
ink. And you know, this
is what you do, that essence of

1119
02:10:03.000 --> 02:10:05.560
you get into your car, you're
going Christmas shopping, You're going to get

1120
02:10:05.600 --> 02:10:11.840
a tree, and you got Christmas
music blasting on whatever genre of music you

1121
02:10:13.279 --> 02:10:16.199
like. There's that version of Christmas
music, you know what I mean.

1122
02:10:16.640 --> 02:10:22.520
The jocks have music beds that are
Christmas. There's a lot of Christmas stuff

1123
02:10:22.600 --> 02:10:28.560
going on to where now it's like
you bluetooth. A lot of people don't

1124
02:10:28.560 --> 02:10:31.920
want to hear commercials, you know
what I mean, so they'll pay a

1125
02:10:31.000 --> 02:10:35.399
little bit more so they don't get
commercials, so you lose that feeling,

1126
02:10:37.319 --> 02:10:39.520
you know what I'm saying. And
I think like the death of radio and

1127
02:10:39.680 --> 02:10:48.800
jocks and personality of radio has contributed
to that kind of decay of the way

1128
02:10:48.000 --> 02:10:52.560
society may look at the holidays nowadays. I don't know. I'm just going

1129
02:10:52.640 --> 02:10:58.960
on them, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm shadow of Stevens and you must listen

1130

1137
02:12:52.640 --> 02:13:22.479
every week. Welcome back to Back
to the eighties Radio. The Christmas renditioned

1138
02:13:22.640 --> 02:13:28.039
with the gift always giving under the
tree, Tuscano and Chang that was you

1139
02:13:28.279 --> 02:13:35.800
two Christmas? Oh, please come
home baby now Tuscano. Does that not

1140
02:13:35.079 --> 02:13:41.600
say Christmas all the way? All
the way? My friend? Oh,

1141
02:13:43.279 --> 02:13:48.680
I believe seeing that this is a
Christmas show, we have one more or

1142
02:13:48.760 --> 02:13:56.159
two more top ten Christmas lists.
Yes, we do. As a matter

1143
02:13:56.199 --> 02:14:01.479
of fact, I wanted to share
with everybody one of my favorite lists because

1144
02:14:01.119 --> 02:14:05.600
it is a list that normally we
don't think of. See, when you

1145
02:14:05.640 --> 02:14:07.800
think of Christmas and lists, you
say, oh, what are the top

1146
02:14:07.920 --> 02:14:11.920
five, top ten, top twenty, whatever it is? You know,

1147
02:14:11.039 --> 02:14:16.840
best gifts, worst gifts, et
cetera. However, I have a list

1148
02:14:18.840 --> 02:14:30.560
of the top five the top five
horror Christmas movies the nineteen eighties. Do

1149
02:14:30.560 --> 02:14:35.479
you want to hear that? Of
course, you know. This is a

1150
02:14:35.640 --> 02:14:43.119
segment that is beyond words. I
think this is possibly the scariest part of

1151
02:14:43.720 --> 02:14:48.960
the Christmas show. All right,
So here is my list of the top

1152
02:14:48.119 --> 02:14:54.479
five Christmas horror movies of all times. Now, some of these may be

1153
02:14:54.720 --> 02:14:58.199
better productions than others. Most of
these, you got to keep in mind,

1154
02:14:58.640 --> 02:15:03.359
most these were really really cheesy back
then, so just take it as

1155
02:15:03.399 --> 02:15:09.840
it is. But here we go, starting with number five from nineteen eighty

1156
02:15:09.920 --> 02:15:16.239
nine, a movie called Elves e
Lvees, a movie called Elves. Number

1157
02:15:16.319 --> 02:15:24.319
four Lucky Stiff I've Been from nineteen
eighty eight, Lucky Stiff. Number three

1158
02:15:24.840 --> 02:15:31.119
Don't Open Till Christmas from nineteen eighty
four. Number two is Silent Night,

1159
02:15:31.840 --> 02:15:39.319
Deadly Night from nineteen eighty four.
Now, my number one most favorite Christmas

1160
02:15:41.399 --> 02:15:48.279
horror movie is really more of a
young teenager's kind of horror movie because it

1161
02:15:48.399 --> 02:15:56.119
is the nineteen eighty four motion picture
called Gremlins, and that's my top five

1162
02:15:56.319 --> 02:16:01.039
horror movie Christmas movies of the night. Now, Tuscano, let me ask

1163
02:16:01.119 --> 02:16:09.960
you, do you think die Hard
was a Christmas movie? Well, I

1164
02:16:09.039 --> 02:16:16.479
can tell you for a fact that
it is. It is a Christmas movie.

1165
02:16:16.600 --> 02:16:22.039
Now, it may be an action
Christmas movie, and it may revolve

1166
02:16:22.199 --> 02:16:28.600
around Christmas, and it may have
Christmas theme and Christmas decorations and a lot

1167
02:16:28.680 --> 02:16:33.000
of Christmas music, but it's it
is, yes, in fact, a

1168
02:16:33.120 --> 02:16:37.319
Christmas movie, but it is an
action Christmas movie. It is not a

1169
02:16:37.520 --> 02:16:46.479
Christmas because the background scenery and the
music Christmas and the theme of the movie

1170
02:16:46.639 --> 02:16:50.159
revolves. I have to say that
is in one of the I would put

1171
02:16:50.159 --> 02:16:58.360
it in a terrifying category of a
Christmas movie, violence, murder, shootings,

1172
02:16:58.600 --> 02:17:03.680
that terrifying. No, wait a
minute, no, wait a minute,

1173
02:17:03.799 --> 02:17:07.680
there you go, because it's more
wait a minute, because it's more

1174
02:17:07.879 --> 02:17:13.440
closer to reality with a superhero.
It's not as no, it's not classic.

1175
02:17:13.559 --> 02:17:16.719
It's classified as an action movie.
It's not classified as a horror movie.

1176
02:17:18.479 --> 02:17:26.760
It would be yeah, you're no
to a small Yeah okay, yeah,

1177
02:17:26.920 --> 02:17:30.799
no, no, no, no, no, no no. I

1178
02:17:30.840 --> 02:17:35.520
would have said top five action Christmas
movies. A matter of fact, a

1179
02:17:35.680 --> 02:17:39.440
top five action movie list in front
of you, and you know what,

1180
02:17:39.799 --> 02:17:43.760
as a Christmas bonus and a gift
to the listeners, I will give you

1181
02:17:43.000 --> 02:17:50.360
my present of what I think of
that top five. Okay, okay,

1182
02:17:50.040 --> 02:17:58.440
are you are you ready for my
top five action Christmas movies. Yes,

1183
02:17:58.799 --> 02:18:03.040
of the nineteen eighties. Oh and
you know what, if you disagree with

1184
02:18:03.159 --> 02:18:07.319
me, it don't really matter.
It is better. Oh I know,

1185
02:18:07.120 --> 02:18:13.159
all right, it's like the Donald
Trumble. That is well, I'm just

1186
02:18:13.239 --> 02:18:20.639
saying. You know what, I'm
just saying. You know you cannot confuse

1187
02:18:20.719 --> 02:18:24.719
action with horror. That's different,
all right, But anyway, here you

1188
02:18:24.879 --> 02:18:31.559
go, coming in at number five, number five. Now it's a fantasy

1189
02:18:31.760 --> 02:18:39.079
adventure action acuisity. Okay, you
may disagree. What's that. Yeah,

1190
02:18:39.079 --> 02:18:43.639
it's kind of like My Second life. Yes, it's a fantasy adventure and

1191
02:18:43.799 --> 02:18:46.479
it may be it may not be
as action packed as some other films on

1192
02:18:46.520 --> 02:18:52.000
the list, but it combines fantasy
and adventure with a Christmas theme, making

1193
02:18:52.079 --> 02:18:54.879
it a unique addition to this lineup. Okay, and the movie is from

1194
02:18:54.959 --> 02:19:01.959
nineteen eighty five. It's called Santa
Clause number four, number four, another

1195
02:19:03.079 --> 02:19:09.280
story revolving around Christmas, all right, during the holiday season. It's with

1196
02:19:09.479 --> 02:19:16.280
Eddie Murphy nineteen eighty three, Trading
Places. Number three, I will put

1197
02:19:16.360 --> 02:19:20.200
in there. I will put in
there Gremlins again from nineteen eighty four,

1198
02:19:20.280 --> 02:19:26.360
because it also falls into a action
movie, not only horror movie. Now.

1199
02:19:26.479 --> 02:19:33.040
Number two is nineteen eighty seven Lethal
Weapon with Mel Gibson and Danny Glover.

1200
02:19:33.239 --> 02:19:39.079
Now, while once again it's not
a Christmas movie, feel good,

1201
02:19:39.239 --> 02:19:45.440
but it's centered around Christmas, takes
place during the holiday season, and it's

1202
02:19:45.520 --> 02:19:52.559
the recurring theme throughout the story and
the number one action Christmas movie of all

1203
02:19:52.719 --> 02:20:03.399
time. Bruce Willis NYPD Officer John
McClain taking place during Christmas the na Kotomy

1204
02:20:03.440 --> 02:20:09.239
Plaza, were terrorists take hostages and
McClain must save the day Boom nineteen eighty

1205
02:20:09.280 --> 02:20:11.079
eight. Die Hard, all Right, I knew it. I knew it.

1206
02:20:11.280 --> 02:20:15.000
I knew it. Yeah, I
told you. You know what,

1207
02:20:16.319 --> 02:20:24.600
Okay, I'll have to agree.
I'm not gonna say Ernest saves Christmas because

1208
02:20:26.600 --> 02:20:28.000
I mean I would got to say
that. You know, to me,

1209
02:20:28.200 --> 02:20:35.200
that's my top five stupid Christmas movies. H you like that movie. You

1210
02:20:35.479 --> 02:20:41.440
like that movie. You like Scrooge
too, Scrooged with Bill Murray. That's

1211
02:20:41.479 --> 02:20:43.879
one movie I didn't like with Bill
Murray. There there's two of them.

1212
02:20:50.680 --> 02:20:54.399
Well, you know, I wasn't
gonna say. I wasn't gonna say First

1213
02:20:54.520 --> 02:21:00.559
Blood Rambo was a Christmas movie even
though it was around when in time,

1214
02:21:01.239 --> 02:21:05.680
No, because it didn't revolve around
Christmas. But Diehard, you know,

1215
02:21:05.799 --> 02:21:09.280
I don't care if Bruce Willis himself
said that he didn't conceive you know what,

1216
02:21:09.399 --> 02:21:15.280
you could say it was a Christmas
in the category as in ship happens

1217
02:21:15.959 --> 02:21:22.879
on Christmas movies. You know what, I got to hand it to you,

1218
02:21:24.200 --> 02:21:30.680
the s h you know what,
the s H T F category.

1219
02:21:31.680 --> 02:21:37.079
That's right, the s h T
F category. Well we can agree on

1220
02:21:37.280 --> 02:21:45.520
something. Now, now let me
ask you this, what is the best

1221
02:21:46.399 --> 02:21:56.959
action Christmas movie of all time?
Even if it's not the eighties? Hmmm.

1222
02:21:58.920 --> 02:22:05.000
So there is a movie week called
Violent Thin Night. Violent Night.

1223
02:22:05.760 --> 02:22:11.399
It's where Santa Claus is going through
chimneys. I've got two, okay,

1224
02:22:11.479 --> 02:22:16.799
one with Mel Gibson called Fat Man, but Violent Night. It's Santa going

1225
02:22:16.840 --> 02:22:20.879
to different homes and on one of
these homes it's just happened to be it's

1226
02:22:20.920 --> 02:22:28.760
getting robbed, so Santa gets involved
and starts killing all the bad guys and

1227
02:22:28.879 --> 02:22:33.280
that's a break. It's a oh, yes, this is yes, I've

1228
02:22:33.360 --> 02:22:41.639
seen this movie. Yes, it's
uh, it's brutal. I think,

1229
02:22:41.840 --> 02:22:48.639
uh, it's got to be one
of the most super hero ish, brutal

1230
02:22:50.520 --> 02:22:54.040
replications I've ever seen of Santa Claus. In a way, it's very Saint

1231
02:22:54.280 --> 02:23:00.360
Nick but old testament. Yes.
And as a matter of fact, there's

1232
02:23:00.680 --> 02:23:07.280
one with it's called fat Man.
It's with Mel Gibson where Santa is uh,

1233
02:23:07.520 --> 02:23:11.040
you know, it's getting ready for
Christmas night. But Santa's had it

1234
02:23:11.159 --> 02:23:16.200
with being Santa, so he dresses
like a normal guy and he has to,

1235
02:23:16.440 --> 02:23:22.120
you know, take out his forty
five and take care of some bad

1236
02:23:22.200 --> 02:23:26.399
guys in the movie. He even
gets shot in the movie, but he

1237
02:23:26.319 --> 02:23:31.120
is. This is the twenty twenty
film called Fat Man with Mel Gibson.

1238
02:23:31.280 --> 02:23:37.319
Good Good Flock. Yeah, dude, I seen the trailer of this movie.

1239
02:23:37.760 --> 02:23:46.920
It's it's intriguing the way that we
see movies taking a spin on the

1240
02:23:46.040 --> 02:23:56.000
character of Saint Nick because for years, you know, kind of Americana has

1241
02:23:56.079 --> 02:24:03.719
painted up Saint Nick to be somewhat
not super heroish, but like the Tooth

1242
02:24:03.799 --> 02:24:13.479
Fairy, the Easter Bunny, you
know, something of a Disney imagination,

1243
02:24:13.680 --> 02:24:20.920
which I'm not knocking, because children
need to have some type of fantasy and

1244
02:24:20.079 --> 02:24:26.159
fairy tale to get through being children, to take them away from anything that

1245
02:24:26.360 --> 02:24:33.719
is negative. So that is very
important. But yet as we grow older,

1246
02:24:33.920 --> 02:24:37.799
it's it's insane how you're as we
grow older as kids into adults,

1247
02:24:37.920 --> 02:24:45.239
we know Sata's fake, true,
but then in a lot of our religious

1248
02:24:45.360 --> 02:24:48.239
background, yeah, Sata is fake. You know what if Sata was real,

1249
02:24:48.920 --> 02:24:52.760
that fat son of a bitch would
have come and paid a lot of

1250
02:24:52.879 --> 02:25:00.559
my credit card bills being Santa Claus
for my four daughters. That fat son

1251
02:25:00.639 --> 02:25:03.319
of a bitch could have came to
my house and helped me and my wife

1252
02:25:03.799 --> 02:25:09.159
wrap packages and build bikes and barbie
houses. And you know that fat son

1253
02:25:09.200 --> 02:25:15.680
of a bitch could have put all
the trash. Wow, wow, you

1254
02:25:15.840 --> 02:25:18.760
have something against Stanna they're doing.
That fat son of a bitch could have

1255
02:25:18.920 --> 02:25:24.239
come at six in the morning when
our kids woke up after me and my

1256
02:25:24.319 --> 02:25:30.799
old lady had wrapped and made bikes
and probably polished off a twenty sack of

1257
02:25:30.920 --> 02:25:43.760
weed and a whole Yeah, okay, a booze gets ready away exc Santa

1258
02:25:43.840 --> 02:25:52.040
Claus Sex to be woken up three
hours later and be there like pick,

1259
02:25:52.239 --> 02:25:56.319
hey, did you can you imagine? You know what? I can you

1260
02:25:56.520 --> 02:26:01.760
imagine? How would you like to
see Santa having just getting it all saying

1261
02:26:01.879 --> 02:26:07.719
that would be like x mass Santa
bangs, you know what I mean?

1262
02:26:07.840 --> 02:26:13.840
Some kind of crazy. So now
now let me ask you this, what

1263
02:26:13.040 --> 02:26:20.159
is your favorite Christmas pick the top
top three favorite Christmas movies of all time?

1264
02:26:20.479 --> 02:26:26.120
Oh geez, I would have to
say Christmas Vacation top Okay, there,

1265
02:26:26.719 --> 02:26:31.680
I would have to say Christmas with
the Cranks. Okay, right up

1266
02:26:31.719 --> 02:26:39.879
there with that and I would also
have to say It's a Wonderful Life or

1267
02:26:39.959 --> 02:26:45.360
my favorite Christmas Wow. Do you
ever see a Miracle in thirty four?

1268
02:26:45.520 --> 02:26:48.280
Yes? I did. I did
see that movie that was That was a

1269
02:26:48.440 --> 02:26:52.360
very intriguing movie. As a matter
of fact, we brought up our girls

1270
02:26:52.440 --> 02:26:56.479
to watch that movie. That was
a good movie, but it was not

1271
02:26:56.159 --> 02:27:01.000
in my top five. We told
my quick top three you would be jingle

1272
02:27:01.120 --> 02:27:05.440
all the way with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
That's my number four. Yeah, exactly,

1273
02:27:05.559 --> 02:27:13.200
the Polar Express. Oh and I'll
let me give you two more.

1274
02:27:13.319 --> 02:27:20.520
Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, the
Little Uh animation slash stop action film.

1275
02:27:20.120 --> 02:27:30.079
And I really enjoyed The National Lampoon's
Christmas Vacation. Yeah, it's a it's

1276
02:27:30.360 --> 02:27:35.159
the funnier movies and the more movies
that are family oriented that I think are

1277
02:27:35.239 --> 02:27:41.879
the best memories for Christmas entertainment.
Now, like I mentioned an older movie,

1278
02:27:41.959 --> 02:27:46.360
It's a Wonderful Life. For those
of you who haven't seen the movie,

1279
02:27:46.520 --> 02:27:48.719
or who have seen the movie,
Tusky, I don't know you,

1280
02:27:48.280 --> 02:27:52.319
Yeah, you need to see that
movie. Mind changing movie, I think,

1281
02:27:52.399 --> 02:27:56.920
and everybody out there needs to see
that movie because it's the essence of

1282
02:27:56.959 --> 02:28:03.799
what Christmas is appreciation of what you
have, Appreciation of not what you can

1283
02:28:03.920 --> 02:28:11.239
give materialistically, but will you give
emotionally, what you give presently, what

1284
02:28:11.440 --> 02:28:20.319
you give comedically, helpfully, lovingly. It's those are the true gifts I

1285
02:28:20.440 --> 02:28:24.559
think that we can give each other. And the true gifts of what Christmas

1286
02:28:24.680 --> 02:28:30.319
is about started at a manger,
whatever you believe, it started at a

1287
02:28:30.399 --> 02:28:33.399
higher place, and the higher place
started something with a gift of life.

1288
02:28:35.239 --> 02:28:39.639
So on that day you celebrate the
gift of life to your creator, to

1289
02:28:39.799 --> 02:28:45.479
what you have right then and there, what you've been bestowed, or whatever

1290
02:28:45.879 --> 02:28:50.799
is coming right after that holiday end
of the new year to rebirth, appreciate

1291
02:28:50.879 --> 02:28:56.479
it. You can't appreciate it.
There's something tremendously wrong with you, and

1292
02:28:56.600 --> 02:29:00.680
you need to find some love with
that. You know What's Take us out

1293
02:29:00.760 --> 02:29:07.799
with a little bit of music that's
not too Christmasy, but it is a

1294
02:29:07.879 --> 02:29:09.799
little bit rock and what do you
say, Tuscano? Take us away,

1295
02:29:09.879 --> 02:29:13.959
man, And I'm going to tell
you this song goes out to everybody that

1296
02:29:15.120 --> 02:29:18.440
ever had to go to Black Friday, whoever had to deal with parking,

1297
02:29:18.600 --> 02:29:28.280
lot of nonsense lines or anything else. Something from Judas Priest screening for Vengeance

1298
02:29:28.360 --> 02:29:35.319
on a Tuscano's version of Christmas back
to the eighties, eighties style. Remember

1299
02:29:35.840 --> 02:30:01.959
so the cards in the guy that
scratched your car car expect. That's so

1300
02:30:01.319 --> 02:30:39.959
Jaya said, I say up and

god week, that's from the truth. We can die about the truth.

1315
02:36:26.440 --> 02:36:39.879
The fruit from the jers and work

02:40:16.079 --> 02:40:22.079
Oh the missiletoe. You're smoking it. You're smoking it. I did want

1329
02:40:22.120 --> 02:40:26.319
to give some couple some honorable mentions
for movies. If you get a chance,

1330
02:40:26.399 --> 02:40:30.360
don't miss out the Home Alone series
one and two. Those are the

1331
02:40:30.440 --> 02:40:35.760
best of the Home Alone series and
they are Christmas movies. And The Nightmare

1332
02:40:35.959 --> 02:40:41.360
Before Christmas is a great one that
you cannot miss. Now here's my honorable

1333
02:40:41.440 --> 02:40:46.360
mention. If you've never seen this
movie before, you must. This movie

1334
02:40:46.760 --> 02:40:54.959
is a must. It is a
movie with Vince Vaughan and Reese Witherspoon.

1335
02:40:54.600 --> 02:41:01.920
It's called Four Christmases. So if
you get a chance, that's my recommendation

1336
02:41:01.680 --> 02:41:09.520
for Christmases. It is something that
happens in many, many families today.

1337
02:41:09.559 --> 02:41:13.319
You're gonna love that felf. But
you could ask Santa Claus right now as

1338
02:41:13.360 --> 02:41:18.399
we're sitting here, say Santa was
on the other side of the glass listening

1339
02:41:18.440 --> 02:41:24.200
to us, or maybe Sanna had
a secret line that was planted in the

1340
02:41:24.440 --> 02:41:28.120
light like the MafA and the cops
used to do. If you could ask

1341
02:41:28.159 --> 02:41:31.040
Santa for one thing and he could
grant you a wish, just like I

1342
02:41:31.159 --> 02:41:39.399
dream of Genie, what would that
be? I would say that I would

1343
02:41:39.520 --> 02:41:50.760
really want there to be more understanding, more love going around because there's just

1344
02:41:50.840 --> 02:41:54.799
too much hate going around. And
I mean everywhere everywhere you look, everywhere

1345
02:41:54.840 --> 02:42:00.280
you turn on the television, everywhere
you look at social media, uh,

1346
02:42:00.559 --> 02:42:07.120
everywhere you turn, and you see
what happens at schools. Society is full

1347
02:42:07.159 --> 02:42:09.879
of depression and et cetera, et
cetera. I don't want to go into

1348
02:42:09.920 --> 02:42:11.559
that, but yeah, I would
say, you know what, if there's

1349
02:42:11.600 --> 02:42:18.920
a possibility to spread some of that
magic and have everybody not force them to

1350
02:42:18.040 --> 02:42:22.000
love, but have them to be
a little more understanding, and you know

1351
02:42:22.040 --> 02:42:28.920
what, maybe this is more important
than than the actual love. Have everybody

1352
02:42:28.120 --> 02:42:31.760
be respectful of you. You know
what, That's awesome. That's that's pretty

1353
02:42:31.760 --> 02:42:35.719
awesome. If you could ask Sata
that, you know what, I would

1354
02:42:35.760 --> 02:42:39.520
ask Santa Claus if I could right
now, wait, hold on, hold

1355
02:42:39.600 --> 02:42:43.799
on? Well was out there?
Hold on? Hold on? Oh yeah,

1356
02:42:43.920 --> 02:42:50.680
Rick, what's going on out there
in the front? What somebody's coming

1357
02:42:50.719 --> 02:42:54.079
in to visit? Hold on?
Hey, Tusky, he said, somebody's

1358
02:42:54.120 --> 02:42:58.200
coming in to visit us? Shall
I tell Rick to let them through?

1359
02:42:58.479 --> 02:43:05.440
Yeah? Rick, yeah, Rick, Rick let him through? What It

1360
02:43:05.520 --> 02:43:09.319
depends on who it is? Yeah, I guess so. Oh, Merry

1361
02:43:09.520 --> 02:43:16.000
Christmas, it's Santa Claus. I
mean this is an honor Santa Claus from

1362
02:43:16.200 --> 02:43:20.040
direct from the North Pole. Uh
what brings you by? Back to the

1363
02:43:20.600 --> 02:43:24.600
well? I was getting some work
done from the country boys on on my

1364
02:43:24.719 --> 02:43:28.559
old slave and I had to get
new shoes on the rain near. You

1365
02:43:28.719 --> 02:43:33.639
know, just go to it day. Have you been good? Boys?

1366
02:43:33.959 --> 02:43:35.559
Well, you know what, Santa, you're the one who can tell us,

1367
02:43:35.600 --> 02:43:41.280
because you're the one who like weed
in this room and not mistle.

1368
02:43:41.559 --> 02:43:45.559
Well, Chang was just he had
nothing to smoke, so he smoked the

1369
02:43:45.600 --> 02:43:52.040
missiletoe. Santa, So tell me
what are you excited about Christmas this year?

1370
02:43:52.120 --> 02:43:56.719
I'm gonna tell you the truth.
Boys, Amazon, whoa take a

1371
02:43:56.840 --> 02:44:01.319
lot of my business? Way?
Oh well, Santa, I don't think

1372
02:44:01.399 --> 02:44:07.879
that the public wants to hear Chris
Kringle lay down the F bomb. Oh

1373
02:44:07.040 --> 02:44:13.680
then I take it back screw Amazon. So I take it that Amazon has

1374
02:44:13.799 --> 02:44:16.959
been getting a lot of the business. Well doesn't that make you maybe a

1375
02:44:18.000 --> 02:44:22.520
little bit less stressed out? Oh
no, you don't understand. With Amazon,

1376
02:44:22.639 --> 02:44:26.799
the elves that have nothing to do. All they do is fiddle around.

1377
02:44:26.920 --> 02:44:31.959
Missus claws underneath her skirt. I
can't keep track of the little masters.

1378
02:44:33.399 --> 02:44:35.239
Well, you know, we had
a little while ago, we had

1379
02:44:35.360 --> 02:44:39.200
a phone call from one of your
elves who seems pretty described. Are you

1380
02:44:39.440 --> 02:44:45.440
talking about Alfie? And he says
he's sick and tired. Yeah, and

1381
02:44:45.520 --> 02:44:48.639
he says he's pretty sick and tired
of your orders and doing the same thing.

1382
02:44:48.719 --> 02:44:52.920
And why don't you we would think
you can cut some of them some

1383
02:44:52.040 --> 02:44:56.079
slacks. Well, let me tell
you, fellas healthy. He's a lion,

1384
02:44:56.520 --> 02:45:01.799
little midget, and he can't be
trustee. I caught him with some

1385
02:45:03.000 --> 02:45:09.719
of my toy documents. It is
his soul called condo medium apartment when you're

1386
02:45:09.799 --> 02:45:18.559
not supposed to have talk classify.
Okay, all right, well then I

so that's kind of creepy. Uh,

02:45:22.959 --> 02:45:26.760

Santa. Thank you, But let me

1389
02:45:26.799 --> 02:45:30.600
ask you this Santa before hold on, Hey, Rick, did I get

1390
02:45:30.639 --> 02:45:35.040
