host, Marian Tuscano, along with

00:00:52.320 --> 00:01:00.520
ruthless, the ever so famous,
and the ever so clever Chang Jay and

5
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:04.000
welcome buddy. Thanks for being here

here and to bring some type of
insanity to our beautiful listeners can laugh and

8
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.680
say, I can't believe that Dick
said that, but that's what I live

9
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:25.799
for, those exact words. I
can't believe that Dick said that. You

10
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:30.239
know, my middle name is Richard
True sick right. I'd had a watch

11
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:36.000
yourself with that. You're gonna be
like one of my Italian uncles. Hey,

12
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:38.040
nobody can call me that, only
me, but you just said it

13
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:41.840
yourself. Hey, it's me Jackie. Well, when I thank everybody for

14
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:45.159
joining us once again here or Back
to the Eighties Radio, we have been

15
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:49.760
on a roller coaster ride with Ka
Hits ninety two five and trying to keep

16
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.120
up. Thank you guys as well. For joining us on k Hits ninety

17
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.239
two five. It's a great adventure
because we get to actually play the greatest

18
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:01.560
of eighties music for you. Now, we are still gathering our team and

19
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:05.920
getting you know, ironing the kinks
out, but the music is playing out

20
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:12.240
there and the on air personality are
going to be joining us on back to

21
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:15.240
the eighties for next Friday's show.
So I just want to give you guys

22
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.120
the heads up. That way,
you guys get to meet them, the

23
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:22.800
people behind the mike and saying,
what a what a great crew we have.

24
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:27.639
You know what, I'm I'm happy
with this group for several reasons.

25
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:30.840
It warms my heart. I'll get
a little I'll get a little sentimental,

26
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:34.479
but then I'll knock that crap off
real quick, because nobody wants to hear

27
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:39.280
a sentimental chain that's weak. They're
young, they're very eager. I think

28
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:45.400
they all have a certain type of
a voice that you don't hear all the

29
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:50.479
time, so they're a bit unique. I think the young vibe kind of

30
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:53.560
goes in well with us. I
mean, we're a couple of what seasoned

31
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:57.759
veterans. Now. I hate when
people call old people. Oh, I'm

32
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.599
just seasoned. No you're not.
You don't jackass year old, now,

33
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:04.159
deal with it. But I could. I'll take seasoned over old. I'll

34
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.280
take Yeah, I'll take season or
I'll take marinaded even oh I like marinadd

35
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:12.199
marinaded. Oh you're marinaded. Yos
thank you. As a matter of fact,

36
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.199
I'm stoned out of my mind and
I could go for a good marinade

37
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.080
on the steak. I'm going to
rub down in a few minutes. But

38
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:22.080
like I back to the cast,
I never lose track, never, my

39
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:25.199
friend. I think they're young,
I think they're strong. I think they're

40
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:30.960
very influential, They're eager to please. I think they've all three of them

41
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:37.800
have had the experience to do what
they're about to do and hopefully make history

42
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:42.960
with. And that's relate to people, entertain people, and Ricky brings that

43
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:47.159
out very well double r. Rather, I think Wendy's got a very sexy,

44
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:53.000
friendly voice and style that she has. And then you have getting in

45
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:55.520
the jets. You know, a
young guy. He kind of looks a

46
00:03:55.520 --> 00:04:00.560
little bit like Keanu Reeves and a
little bit like shy La Boff, but

47
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:05.039
he's got the experience. He does
have a very good voice, and I

48
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:14.039
think his eagerness to learn and get
into the eighties music is it's going to

49
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.360
be a joy to see. It's
almost gonna be like we're watching a nephew

50
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:20.759
grow before our eyes. So we
have we have some great, great stuff

51
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:25.199
in store for everybody listening and everybody
who's joined us. That k hits ninety

52
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:30.160
two five. So there's a lot
going on and a lot happening for the

53
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.800
good. It's growing, and it's
all because we want to make we want

54
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:39.759
to reintroduce the eighties ye back to
this this new generation that has no idea.

55
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:43.079
So I want to remind you guys
that we can be found on Facebook,

56
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:46.720

59
00:04:55.839 --> 00:05:00.639
that that group's growing. We have
almost nine thousand on our our page,

60
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.680
a little or fifteen hundred on our
group, and like I said, it's

61
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:08.879
growing. We're not boasting to have
these outrageous numbers. But it's not even

62
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:13.079
about that. It's about you know. However, many people can get involved

63

84
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:13.199
You know what, man? You

85
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:18.040
man it up and I forgot man. You made get kang we eat.

86
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:24.120
Welcome back to the eighties, everybody, and that was our that's what we

87
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:27.480
call our good friend that we brought
back from the eighties. His name is

88
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:31.920
Davy Hendrix Tuskey. You've never met
Davy Hendrix because every time you've been to

89
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:38.959
my house he was asleep under the
stairs. Davy suffers from two high syndrome.

90
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:43.639
No one guess. Yeah, he's
baked. He wanted to ask you

91
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:46.800
a question, but he doesn't remember. I'll wake him up before the show's

92
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:54.279
over and then maybe he can answer
the question. What question doesn't remember what

93
00:07:54.519 --> 00:08:03.279
made us tougher growing up in the
eighties as opposed to what newer generations from

94
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.879
the nineties and now black on why
they're not too tap? What would you

95
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:11.959
say for you, you know what? Being that we just got out of

96
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:18.120
the Fourth of July, here's a
very good example that kids were actually encouraged

97
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:24.279
back then to play with fireworks by
themselves. Remember that. Good times,

98
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:30.000
good times. I remember holding firecrackers
with my fingers and then deciding it would

99
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:33.000
be a better idea if I put
it to the with the tip of my

100
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.080
teeth and the light of firecracker.
Not the smartest of all generations, no,

101
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.480
but I used to like to get
Roman candles and hold them up like

102
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:46.759
I was the statue of liberty and
then have burns through my hair and on

103
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:52.840
my arms. And then just stupidity. Every now and then I would ride

104
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:56.360
my bike holding a skyrocket for good
God knows why I would do that kind

105
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:58.840
of stuff. And I wasn't even
taking drugs. And this is just when

106
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:03.159
I was a reckless kid. Yeah, I remember back in the eighties,

107
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.879
we had so many different types of
fireworks that were very harmful. You could

108
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:11.639
actually buy m eighties, you know, not at your local fireworkshop, but

109
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:16.200
you could always buy them with a
friend. And I remember in junior high

110
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:18.679
a little bit before the Fourth of
July, like let's say, if it

111
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:24.320
was fourth of July, was on
a Saturday, and that Friday before you

112
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.360
could hear people lighting M eighties in
the toilet. Yeah, oh yeah,

113
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.679
dude, you know. But then
the funny thing growing up where I grew

114
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:37.120
up, You know, when you
you grew up in the neighborhood era,

115
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.679
you don't know who's lighting M eighties
or who's taking shots with their quetai outside.

116
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:43.960
You never know, it could be
any any one of us Mexicans could

117
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:46.919
be doing something crazy like that.
Yeah, you'd always confuse the wait,

118
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.559
wait is that was that a gun? Or was that a firework? If

119
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:52.240
I don't hear a yale after,
okay, oh it's only an m ad.

120
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:56.399
If you hear oh my god,
then you go shit, that wasn't

121
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:58.320
an m e D. I think
would just cap somebody. I'm going to

122
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.360
get out of here. Yeah,
So what's another thing that made us tougher

123
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:03.320
back then? What do you think? You know what I would have to

124
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:07.840
say bullying. Now I'm gonna go
out on the limb here, and I'm

125
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.240
not condoning violence to anybody on the
surface, but if it's during me and

126
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:16.120
somebody talks mick, knock the crap
out of them. Back then, when

127
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:18.879
we had bullying, you know,
it wasn't a social media thing. We

128
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:24.399
weren't scarred for life. You know, you you kind of doubt with a

129
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:30.399
bully, either you went word for
word for them and made them feel stupider

130
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.639
than they were trying to make you
feel, or you just wait for a

131
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:37.200
good time to take them outside and
kick the crap out of them. They

132
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:41.159
kick the crap out of you.
Whatever. Either way, it's gonna end

133
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:46.799
up stopping a lot faster back then
than it does now. One of the

134
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:52.240
biggest things that unfortunately there is today
that makes bullying so dangerous is the fact

135
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:56.919
that now bullying has turned into the
cyber bullying. Yes, you know,

136
00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:01.960
the people aren't necessarily in your hometown. They can be somewhere around the world.

137
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:05.240
But you know what to us,
if we would have had cyber bullying

138
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:11.159
back then, we just you know
that old adage, change the channel if

139
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:13.399
you don't like what you're watching.
Yeah, so you know what, you're

140
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:20.840
being bullied online stop playing that video
game, or or turn the system off.

141
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:22.120
You don't need to be on the
computer right now, or yeah,

142
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:26.440
you know exactly, so it's it's
pretty easy. But definitely bullying was something

143
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:33.840
that before did make us tougher.
I do know that many of the people

144
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:39.559
who have posted on our back to
the Eighties page have complained that for them,

145
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:43.440
the eighties brings back a lot of
bad memories because of the bullying.

146
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:48.600
For some reason, you know,
not everybody can handle confrontations, and not

147
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:52.440
that they couldn't fight, it's just
that they were afraid to, you know,

148
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:58.720
the the they had just a different
persona different character, different emotional construct

149
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:05.639
in them. And sometimes you know, these these bullies were if you would

150
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:07.440
have just stood up to them and
told them to shut up or to f

151
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:13.159
off, maybe that would have stopped
a few of them. But a lot

152
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.039
of these people didn't have the courage. They weren't. They didn't have it

153
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:20.600
in them for some reason. Maybe
it was something tragic that happened to them

154
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:22.919
at home, or maybe it was
just that they didn't grow up with a

155
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:28.960
dad, or or maybe they were
just always encouraged to not fight back.

156
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:31.399
Because there are some people and that
reminds me of a lot of the people

157
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:35.000
today. They say, oh no, we don't want you to get into

158
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:39.720
fights. Just can't always tell them
to be nice because they're not being nice

159
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:43.279
to start with, right exactly.
Now, It's funny you reminded me of

160
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:46.519
like, well, my girls are
little and they were little girls in the

161
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:50.600
eighties, and my wife would always
till you know, somebody's gonna tick on

162
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:56.440
you were being mean on you turn
them around with kindness, be friendly,

163
00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:01.000
try to be their friends, and
always embraced people. Now, you know,

164
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:05.879
back then, I would just like
she's out of her mind. I

165
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:09.440
would say to myself, you know
what I mean? And you know,

166
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:11.799
you you have to remember I'm talking
about three little girls, you know what

167
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:16.240
I mean. They're not three little
changs. They were Changi Changi's angels like

168
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:20.320
Charlie's angels. They were Changi's angels. They were Yeah, they were the

169
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:24.000
chang Yetts. And my wife would
tell them all this stuff, you know

170
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:26.080
what I mean? And I would
always tell them, you know, when

171
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:28.919
they were away from mom, hey, you know what, you know what

172
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:33.000
you Sometimes you gotta be nice,
but sometimes you just gotta go ahead and

173
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:35.639
kick somebody in the knee and give
them a right cross and shut them up.

174
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.519
Sometimes you got to do that.
And I always told my girls,

175
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:41.879
with my dad and my grandpa and
my uncle's always told me, if someone

176
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:46.440
puts their hands on you, you
put your hands in your feet all over

177
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:50.440
them. That's the way I rolled. I mean, I got bullied a

178
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:52.960
lot when I was a kid.
You know, I didn't come out of

179
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:56.200
my shell up until probably i'd say
maybe sixth grade, and then I started

180
00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:01.080
talking smacked to a lot of these
bullies, and I became the clown.

181
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:05.440
So you don't want to mess around
with You can't bully a clown because I'll,

182
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:07.879
you know, we'll, we'll,
we'll eat you like lunch. So

183
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:11.039
I got really good at that and
I was able to eat bullies up,

184
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:16.320
you know, for lunch. And
I think kids nowadays don't have that.

185
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:22.159
And one reason I think kids don't
have that toughness like we did. You

186
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:26.200
have a lot of kids that don't
go outside. They just run home and

187
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:30.519
play video games, to play on
the computer or play on their phone.

188
00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:35.000
We have to worry about a lot
of sexual devians out there, so a

189
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.840
lot of people are uncomfortable with children
being alone. It's very hard to have

190
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:43.120
a lot of sick bucks out there. And you don't have to bleep that

191
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:46.759
out. I know what I said, sick fs and so kind of the

192
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:50.240
playing field is so much different than
when we were at kids that we didn't

193
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:56.080
have to worry about. But even
though in our day we did have people

194
00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:00.639
that were taking children and having sex
with them, pedophiles, We did have

195
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:05.240
people that were getting beat up by
gangs or a couple of idiots that were

196
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:09.559
bullies. But the thing is we
had social skills, so we knew how

197
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:15.159
to get around them or get ourselves
out of it. Or when you got

198
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:18.279
a knuckle bruise, you got a
knuckle bruise. Nowadays, brother kids don't

199
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:22.240
have that. For example, now
that you say getting bruised, and it

200
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:28.799
was a whole different ballgame when you
broke a body part, right, a

201
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:31.559
leg, an arm, casts,
you know, when they put a cast

202
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:35.919
on you, it was like a
badge of honor. Remember that. Yeah,

203
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:39.200
And parents didn't feel a shame,
they didn't feel neglectful when their kids

204
00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:43.919
broke bones, and kids felt proud
to have a cast on. Now that

205
00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:46.919
doesn't mean that it's good that they
broke their body. You know, they

206
00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:52.600
broke a leg or an arm.
But we weren't made to feel or parents

207
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:54.679
weren't made to feel that they were
just a total disgrace of a parent and

208
00:15:54.759 --> 00:16:00.840
just that kids were out all the
time and those things happened because kids played

209
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:03.639
outside. Yeah, you know what. I what else I think is one

210
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:08.360
of the problems because I coached for
for many, many many years, and

211
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:12.639
you know, playing sports, you
know you've got a trophy if you want,

212
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:18.720
you know what I mean, maybe
you've got second place, maybe a

213
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:22.360
third place. But being a coach
and being a dad, I have always

214
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:27.639
been against every kid getting a trophy
for just showing up to the sporting event,

215
00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:33.440
right, I think an award for
participation. Yeah you're you're you're buttercupping

216
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:37.480
a bunch of kids. And then
they're going to be weak when they don't

217
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:40.960
get a trophy and think they lost
or whatever hardship is going to hit them.

218
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:44.000
They're not going to be able to
handle it because they're used to getting

219
00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:48.399
awarded for giving their minimal And to
me, that's a lot of bullshit because

220
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:51.879
what you don't want to hurt kids
feeling, then toughen up your kid.

221
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:55.639
There's only one way to win,
and there's only one way to lose,

222
00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:59.080
and you handle both of them with
class, and you have to understand with

223
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:03.919
both winning and losing, there's one
thing. You get a freaking wisdom of

224
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.160
what not to do or what to
do better so you can excel and get

225
00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:12.000
to the next level. By giving
kids trophies for just putting on a freaking

226
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:17.400
uniform and standing out there and not
having any action, you're telling them that

227
00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:19.880
you're a pretty little flower no matter
what, and when the wind blows,

228
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:22.200
they're not going to be able to
handle it. Bro one hundred percent true,

229
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:25.920
man, because when they get older, they're going to find out that

230
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:30.720
life isn't about always winning. Ninety
nine percent of the times you're not going

231
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:34.359
to win. You cherish the times
that you do, but you've got to

232
00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:40.039
learn to get right back up when
you fall. You got to learn to

233
00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:44.759
take a loss. Those are very
very good points of stuff that made us

234
00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:48.759
a lot tougher back then. Let's
go onto something lighter though, something that

235
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:55.279
we used to do, you know, especially even before before the eighties,

236
00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:59.200
but around the eighties that's when it
started, you know, towards the end

237
00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:02.160
of the eighties, that's when it
started stopping because now in the nineties they

238
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:06.119
put a bunch of weird laws in
place. And piling up in the back

239
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:10.759
of a truck and feeling the breeze
in your head, dude, it wasn't

240
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:14.720
only legal, but it was.
It was a pretty good time back then,

241
00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:18.359
remember that, dude, You go
on long trips, remember just chilling

242
00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:21.720
out in the back of the truck
and you're getting that air and that breeze,

243
00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:23.720
and you know, that little pop
out window opens up so you could

244
00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:27.319
bare to hear the tunes, and
but you feel like you're one with the

245
00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:32.440
road, one with the environment because
you're just out there getting that breeze and

246
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:37.640
that sun and it's care free and
uh, it was like a feeling,

247
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:44.200
kind of like a mini flying when
you're sitting in the tuxactly you get that

248
00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:48.640
rush, that that whole feeling like
if you were actually out there flying without

249
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:52.079
a freaking helmet. That's exactly right. You know that that joy is gone.

250
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:57.039
I remember going on the freeway and
then you'd have to sit directly by

251
00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:00.319
the cab because if not, sometimes
the wind would just get to you.

252
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:03.160
And if you had hair, long
hair, if you were a long hair,

253
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:06.400
dude, or like me, or
if you were a long haired girl,

254
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:07.720
that there would whip you in the
face and that ship would hurt.

255
00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:17.240
But just that feeling of actual living
riding behind the truck. There was none

256
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:21.240
none other feeling when you're on the
open road. And I mean even in

257
00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:25.960
vans. Driving in vans was kind
of cool back into the eighties, right

258
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:27.200
you know, I mean, you
know, you could be in a van

259
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:33.200
and it's like you could have all
all the all the things that you would

260
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:36.759
have at home. Some vans had
TV, sums had saints, frigerators,

261
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:41.200
beds. Sums had beds, some
had couches. Some vans, I mean,

262
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:44.359
boom, you had what two windows
in the back. You just roll

263
00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:47.359
up the little window and it put
a group of people in the van and

264
00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:52.920
head out to a destination. It
doesn't seem like the generation nowadays. Get

265
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:56.720
you experience that. No, Plus, they took away the van conversions of

266
00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:03.519
exactly there's different ones now they're astronomical
and price They're no longer for really the

267
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:10.039
enjoyment of any weekend. Now they
make them like to go, you know,

268
00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:14.000
on these real long camping trips.
It's sort of like another camper.

269
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:18.720
They made the van conversion to seem
creepy. So if you tell somebody that

270
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:22.880
you had a van conversion, yeah, they even talk to you. Oh,

271
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:26.960
that's kind of creepy. So for
some reason, this generation has made

272
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:30.640
everything to be wrong of what we
used to do in the past. And

273
00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:34.240
you know what, Yeah, I'm
not saying everything that we did was great

274
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:38.960
or one hundred percent safe, but
there were things that just made us tougher.

275
00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:42.400
And one of these, right before
we take a break, being a

276
00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:47.319
kid. Check this out. You'll
this will probably ring a bell with you,

277
00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:51.480
bro, but being a kid and
having a ride in the front seat

278
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:56.640
without a seat belt, especially when
you were behind the wheel, like on

279
00:20:56.680 --> 00:21:00.000
your dad's laph. Not everybody got
to experience that. But I remember my

280
00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:06.079
dad putting me on his lap in
the front seat while he was about to

281
00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:08.279
drive, and he would, you
know, take me on short little drives.

282
00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:12.599
Yeah, and that was okay.
Now that was dangerous, of course,

283
00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:18.440
yeah, but I remember doing that. That's uh, that's cool.

284
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:25.279
I didn't never got that experience.
My dad was crazy ex military Mexican dad,

285
00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:29.240
and you know, you had to
you had to be in the back

286
00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:32.519
seat. You had to be heard, not seen. So I never got

287
00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:37.079
to sit in the front seat,
you know, but that is an experience.

288
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:41.640
And now I remember sitting in the
front seat with my grandpa when the

289
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:44.759
car wasn't moving and he would let
me sit behind the will and pretend I'm

290
00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:49.799
driving. Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely, how about this one and

291
00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:56.279
this one will definitely ring a bell
with you. Being a latchkey kid was

292
00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:00.119
normal. Letting yourself in the house
after we'll get in your own food and

293
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:07.480
try not to burn the house down
every single day was the norm. Yeah,

294
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:11.200
but then you remember, I think
neighborhoods back then were a lot different.

295
00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:17.240
The nucleus of a neighborhood, you
remember, I think everybody had the

296
00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:21.839
same guidelines. You can go out
after your homework has done. You could

297
00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:23.839
cruise the streets and run the streets
and play in the streets with your buddies

298
00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:29.440
and your friends and play tag and
pipe ride. But when those street lights

299
00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:32.279
came on, the golden rules,
you had to get home. And I

300
00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:37.480
think back then, if you're very
fortunate to live in the neighborhood to where

301
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:41.480
everybody else that was an adult you
respected and kind of was like a parent,

302
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:44.400
so they knew who you were,
and if you weren't where you were

303
00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:45.640
supposed to be. You were going
to get a tongue lashing by them,

304
00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:51.720
or they were gonna go call your
parents on the phone. I think kids

305
00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:55.799
nowadays don't have that. Now.
I can honestly say the neighborhood that I

306
00:22:55.799 --> 00:23:00.160
brought up my four children in was
in Downhey, and we aptured the essence

307
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:06.839
of that neighborhood that both my wife
and I grew up with, that pleasure

308
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:11.680
of knowing our neighbors, that pleasure
of the kids all being at whoever's house.

309
00:23:12.759 --> 00:23:17.400
We were very fortunate our house was
the choice of the kids. Let

310
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:19.400
me know. They think you said
you were in Downey. What year were

311
00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:27.480
you in Downey? We lived in
Downey from nineteen ninety to two thousand.

312
00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:33.599
Okay, okay, okay, yeah. I lived in Downey from like nineteen

313
00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:41.000
seventy six all the way to nineteen
eighty four. Eighty five. Wow,

314
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:47.920
I left. I left Montebello,
monte Vello. I left Monte Vale in

315
00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:55.200
nineteen eighty eight, and then from
there I went to Santa Fe Springs,

316
00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:57.880
Contas Holmes, you know where.
That's where I went to high school.

317
00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:00.279
Yeah, yeah, and then after
that I was there for a bit,

318
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:06.759
and then me and the missus Chang
moved into Downey and that's where we brought

319
00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:11.839
our girls up up until they were
in high school. That's so crazy,

320
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:14.480
you know. That was I was
in Downey all through the period of my

321
00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:18.839
time that I was a City of
Montabalo employee. That's another chang banging story.

322
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:25.039
So you know, Downey was home
and it was still very good,

323
00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:30.200
uh neighborhood. Now towards the end
when we're leaving, we're looking to get

324
00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:33.559
out because the neighborhoods were getting a
little rough. As you know. Uh,

325
00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:37.160
local city government all sucks. That's
right, I'll say it again.

326
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:41.920
All local city government sucks. They
don't do for the citizens, but they'll

327
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:45.720
show take their tax dollars. So
graffee was on the rise, Streets were

328
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:51.839
really bad. Businesses were moving out, the schools were not getting the funds

329
00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:55.359
that they should have sold. They
were decreasing there. So we left Downey

330
00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:57.880
at a time when it was getting
it was getting pretty jacked up. It

331
00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:02.759
was starting to look like I'm gonna
go on a limb and say this.

332
00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:06.960
It was kind of starting to look
a little bit like bad parts of Paramount,

333
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:11.799
bad parts of East Los Angeles and
very similar to the city of Monte

334
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:17.319
Veo. That when when when I
left, that's how it looked, graffiti

335
00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:23.039
ridden, just uh bad all the
way around. Nobody really gave a damn.

336
00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:26.799
You know. It's sad that you
see neighborhoods like that, But then

337
00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:32.079
again you see more and more neighborhoods
like that, and then you see the

338
00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:36.039
way that the kids are nowadays.
So you got to really know that,

339
00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:40.079
Hey, that's the reason why bullying, and that's the reason why so many

340
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:45.680
kids turn astray. The elements out
there are against them in numerous numbers.

341
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:48.319
Bro. Yeah, you know,
I remember growing up and in the early

342
00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:53.440
part of the eighties, remember when
ET came out, and yeah, so

343
00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:57.319
I remember as a kid. You
know, back then I was living in

344
00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:03.359
Downey and it wasn't a bad neighborhood, but it also wasn't the greatest name

345
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:08.119
yet it was already in decline.
Yeah, and I remember watching ET and

346
00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:12.039
thinking, wow, I would love
to live in a neighborhood like the one

347
00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:15.920
in ET, the Ets, you
know, Elliott's House. Yeah. And

348
00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:19.640
so when all these movies from the
eighties came in and they showed you these

349
00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:25.720
nice neighborhoods. Everybody wanted to be
there. Everybody, everybody. This is

350
00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:29.319
back to the eighties. When we
come back, we've got more stuff than

351
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:33.119
made us tougher in the eighties than
kids today. Don't go nowhere, bet

352
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:37.640
five dollars will beat your buns in. Ever wish you could go back to

353
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:42.039
the eighties with the crazy clothes and
those wacky hair dues. Well, let

354
00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:48.960
Tescano and Chang transport you back in
time, back to the eighties, and

355
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:53.319
let me point to the president the
mutch On and Randy Savage is not happy

356
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:57.680
with your decision. Yeah, I
am the Cream and the World wrest And

357
00:26:57.799 --> 00:27:03.400
Federation. There is no doubt about
it. There you mean Gene Okerland,

358
00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:07.160
You know that I'm the cream with
a crop. If they were a laxative,

359
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:12.720
they'd be so powerful you could stand
on your head and on the ceiling.

360
00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:18.759
That's position would not only be v
but also undignified. And now back

361
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:23.480
to the eighties with Tiscato and Chang. Welcome back to back to the eighties.

362
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:27.920
You are geared in with Tiscato and
Chang. We are talking about things

363
00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:36.240
that made us a little tougher as
eighties babies in comparison to kids and generations

364
00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:40.480
nowadays. The other thing that I
want to bring up to you, Tusky,

365
00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:45.839
is how many of us created babies
in the eighties and our children are

366
00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:51.599
products of the eighties. That alone. Let that sink in for a little

367
00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:53.799
while. All you eighties babies out
there that had kids, you know what

368
00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:56.200
I mean when you stop and think
about it, Man, I'm a product

369
00:27:56.279 --> 00:28:00.680
of the eighties and my kids grew
up in the a Yeah, you know

370
00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:06.400
that is that is a fountain.
Now I could have created babies, I

371
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:08.559
would, you know when I was
a teen. As a matter of fact,

372
00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:12.440
I had a couple of friends of
mine who were fifteen years old and

373
00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:18.680
sixteen years old who became parents at
that at that age, back in the

374
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:22.000
eighties. But you know, and
that that's kind of scary to me to

375
00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:26.599
think that that could have been,
you know, the way my life would

376
00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:33.200
have gone. But anyway, you
don't There was a very likely chance that

377
00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:41.240
many moms out there smoked while they
were pregnant with them in the eighties because

378
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:44.599
there was so much smoking going around
you remember that, Yeah, I mean,

379
00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:47.519
I mean if you went to a
restaurant, yeah, there was smoking,

380
00:28:47.599 --> 00:28:52.960
non smoking areas but literally that smoke
went everywhere, and then you have

381
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:56.279
to remember I know you remember.
If you don't remember this, I'm sure

382
00:28:56.319 --> 00:29:00.279
some of our listeners. Everywhere you
went there was a cigarette machine at a

383
00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:06.880
burger stand, or outside a liquor
store or a don't jump. There was

384
00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:11.720
no one regulating unless you had somebody
that was attended. But you know,

385
00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:15.039
I remember people in high school,
man going to Guardunos on lunch, man,

386
00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:18.559
and we get that that lunch special. You get a bag of tortilla

387
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:22.240
chips, a bean and cheese morito, and a large cooke for a buck

388
00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:26.160
twenty five. Well, then you
get seventy five cents and you go hit

389
00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:30.240
the cancer box and throw in your
three quarters and you get a pack of

390
00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:33.880
camels, or you get some Marlboroughs
or some Salem's or or some mental crap.

391
00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:37.640
You know, I will say this, knock on. Would I never

392
00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:41.839
smoked a cigarette a day of my
life? Wow? Now what are they

393
00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:45.160
priced? Now? Seven eight bucks? To tell you, I think I

394
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:47.559
think you would have to give him
one of your sons if you wanted to

395
00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:51.000
go to the store to buy a
frigging pack of cigarettes. Bro. It's

396
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:53.720
funny because when I mentioned that there
was a likely chance that people's moms smoked.

397
00:29:53.799 --> 00:29:57.839
That wasn't no joke. As a
matter of fact, there is a

398
00:29:57.920 --> 00:30:03.200
book written by Joan London. I
believe it's called Yeah, it's called it.

399
00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:06.759
Well, she was the host of
Good Morning America, if you remember

400
00:30:06.839 --> 00:30:11.720
that broad So there's a book.
There's a book called Freedom from Smoking for

401
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:18.240
You and Your Baby. You know
what Joan London would write about a book

402
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:26.519
like that. Yeah, apparently she
was the national chairman of the Smoking and

403
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:36.839
Pregnancy Education Campaign. Okay, so
she's another Tipper Gore. I know everybody

404
00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:41.880
from the eighties remembers that chick,
Tipper Gore Tip good God, that troll.

405
00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:45.240
I mean, her husband was school
I wish we would have listened her

406
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:48.720
husband on this global warmant. But
she was a troll. Hey, lady,

407
00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:52.279
you know what, you spend too
much time in Betty Crocker cookbooks and

408
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:56.680
sitting in your conservative house. No, you don't need to tell me what

409
00:30:56.799 --> 00:30:59.920
I can or cannot listen to.
Tipper. That's right. She made the

410
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:04.039
extinct about lyrics, and that's the
reason why we have sensors, why we

411
00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:10.920
had censorship back then in the eighties. But another thing, how about when

412
00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:15.000
you got together with your friends,
right, or when kids, little kids

413
00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:18.440
got together with their friends. They
could go to a friend's house without even

414
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:23.200
saying anything, and they weren't called
play dates, and they is so weak,

415
00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:26.640
and they didn't have the adults breathing
down the necks of their kids the

416
00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:32.680
entire time. Totally the opposite.
Parents were glad that their kids were with

417
00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:37.000
their friends to a break. Just
don't come back with anything broken or or

418
00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:41.319
killed another, kill an animal or
prospel yeah, or don't break something else

419
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:44.599
from that's not yours so I don't
have to pay for it. Yeah,

420
00:31:44.599 --> 00:31:47.200
and don't play on my plants.
But get out of here for five hours

421
00:31:47.200 --> 00:31:49.960
so your dad gets home. Remember
those days? Brother, Get out of

422
00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:53.720
here for five hours? Wow?
Yeah? Yeah, So I got a

423
00:31:53.799 --> 00:31:57.720
question for everybody listening. So so
much was different back then when we were

424
00:31:57.799 --> 00:32:01.880
kids and teenagers in the eighties,
But no, was it actually better?

425
00:32:02.359 --> 00:32:07.640
Let us know by going over to
our Facebook page, drop us a little

426
00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:12.599
note there and just let us know
we're the eighties actually better growing up for

427
00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:16.759
you? Or do you think kids
today are growing up better and tougher than

428
00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:22.160
we did? I think they're growing
up faster I'll add to that. Yeah,

429
00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:24.200
I think you know what you're right
about that they are growing up faster.

430
00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:29.240
I mean I look at your boys
and you know, me and you

431
00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:32.079
we started doing this and your boys
were kids, then little guys, and

432
00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:35.799
now you're you know, Jesus man, he's already out of high school.

433
00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:39.000
He already looks like a man in
all his photos. Good God and then

434
00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:45.319
Christ and all he is is like
mom and dad's sleeping too long away from

435
00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:47.759
the hair coming down like George Harrison
and taken off to be a rock god.

436
00:32:49.279 --> 00:32:52.799
But he's a good boy, you
know. And then it's it's just

437
00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:55.000
man, they just grew so fast, you know. I think about my

438
00:32:55.079 --> 00:32:58.680
kids. I mean, my kids
are thirty six, thirty five, thirty

439
00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:01.599
four, and twenty six, you
know, and you just, uh,

440
00:33:01.799 --> 00:33:05.920
you know, you sometimes you just
get wrapped up in life and you're like,

441
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:10.400
man, I can't believe life moved
as rapid as it did, you

442
00:33:10.440 --> 00:33:15.000
know. And I think nowadays kids
are growing up a lot faster. I

443
00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:20.319
know, my grandchildren are fourteen going
on fifteen, eleven going on twelve,

444
00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:25.160
and I mean some of the things
that they're into, or their dialogue or

445
00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:30.880
just the way they carry themselves.
It is not at all the way that

446
00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:36.640
their mother and their aunts were at
that age. Nowhere as near as innocent,

447
00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:42.640
and nowhere as near as innocent as
my era of you know, the

448
00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:46.240
late seventies, early eighties. So
I think today kids got it tougher because

449
00:33:46.680 --> 00:33:51.799
they're forced to grow up so quick. And I believe that's because of social

450
00:33:51.839 --> 00:34:00.400
media, because that's of bullying and
everything materialistic is of matter to generations now

451
00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:02.799
more so than it was in our
in our damn age. And because they

452
00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:07.920
have the Internet at their disposal,
they have their inne Literally they're waking up

453
00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:10.800
and they're going to sleep with that
darned screen at their hands. You know,

454
00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:15.519
I was talking to my kids a
little while ago today and my older

455
00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:16.519
one says, you know, Dad, I just wanted to thank you guys

456
00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:21.039
for not giving us, my brother
and me a phone until we were fourteen

457
00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:27.760
or fifteen. Because they are noticing
that they're little cousins, little cousins that

458
00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:31.360
are three years old, two years
old, four years old, they'll be

459
00:34:31.360 --> 00:34:37.199
giving there. They have been given
phones already, and believe it or not,

460
00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:42.039
and you know, yes, the
the convenience for a parent to have

461
00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:46.360
a babysitter in a screen. But
you know what, those things destroy the

462
00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:53.760
mind and you can think otherwise.
But you know what, now I know,

463
00:34:54.360 --> 00:35:00.519
oh yeah, that thing has been
guilty of destruction of an entire generation.

464
00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:07.119
Well, yeah, I agree with
you, and you and you and

465
00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:10.679
your wife did do right by holding
that golden rule of your kids. You

466
00:35:10.719 --> 00:35:14.760
know, my grandson, I love
him to death, you know what I

467
00:35:14.760 --> 00:35:16.719
mean. He looks like me,
He's somewhat got, he's got to chang

468
00:35:16.719 --> 00:35:22.199
in him, but he is very
warped by the now the computer gaming,

469
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:28.320
the phones. Uh, you know, his parents split up, and neither

470
00:35:28.440 --> 00:35:31.159
my daughter or my ex son in
law have done anything to correct that type

471
00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:37.960
of behavior. My daughter bypasses it
and my ex son in law just buys

472
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:42.000
him whatever device he wants, game
after game. Uh. You know,

473
00:35:42.079 --> 00:35:45.280
my grandson was always was pretty good
in sports, and such a little guy

474
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:50.039
was like a gift. You know. Of course COVID came and he didn't

475
00:35:50.039 --> 00:35:54.960
play basketball, but he has submerged
himself into that type of an element and

476
00:35:55.320 --> 00:36:01.480
his grades, his grades are way
below what they should be. His skill

477
00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:12.480
as in dealing with being responsible very
poor. So exactly what you're saying,

478
00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:16.679
Yeah, the social skills from from
kids is gone. Oh yeah, if

479
00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:21.960
you know, they can go out. I've seen this so many many times

480
00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:25.800
where a little couple. I'll see
a little couple of fifteen sixteen years old

481
00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:30.280
and they're out, like at a
restaurant, and they're not talking to each

482
00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:34.599
other, but they're texting to each
other or to who knows who, and

483
00:36:34.599 --> 00:36:38.719
they're face to face. So that
just blows my mind because at their age,

484
00:36:38.960 --> 00:36:42.480
Oh dude, I see that with
my grandchildren. Bro. I'll be

485
00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:45.039
in the room having a conversation and
they're both on the phone. You know.

486
00:36:45.119 --> 00:36:49.519
Now I'm the grandpa, and everybody
thinks all grandma and grandpas they're supposed

487
00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:52.519
to be passive to a certain degree. Yeah, I understand that, you

488
00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:57.599
know, but then my child doesn't
like the way that I am as a

489
00:36:57.679 --> 00:37:00.880
disciplinarian. So you know what,
there's only so much I can do as

490
00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:06.440
a grandfather because bottom line there with
their parents. So whatever mistakes are going

491
00:37:06.480 --> 00:37:09.440
to occur, you look at it
now as that's on your dime. Of

492
00:37:09.440 --> 00:37:13.199
course, you know, if they
screw up, that's on you, you

493
00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:15.599
know, because I'm old school,
and I've gone old school my grandkids.

494
00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:17.639
You know, if I don't like
what they're doing, or if I don't

495
00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:22.280
think i'm i'm being heard. I
got no problem with grabbing those phones,

496
00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:24.400
bro, And I got no problem
with taking a chord with me. And

497
00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:27.559
the way I look at them is
like, that's the way it goes.

498
00:37:27.599 --> 00:37:30.039
They can get all upset, they
can get mad, they can hate me

499
00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:34.679
for the day. Bottom line,
I don't care. I'm I'm old school,

500
00:37:35.239 --> 00:37:37.599
you know. And I tell them
both, if I was your your

501
00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:42.159
father and not your grandpa, your
little butts would be red and red and

502
00:37:42.199 --> 00:37:45.400
blue right now. I wouldn't take
no crap. I would strike you in

503
00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:49.159
a heartbeat. Some people don't think
that you could. You should spank your

504
00:37:49.239 --> 00:37:52.480
kids. I think, well,
that's why we have a generation like this

505
00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:57.519
exactly. You know, I believe
anybody that went with a time Well,

506
00:37:57.719 --> 00:38:00.440
I'm gonna put Johnny on time out. Well guess what I want to make

507
00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:04.840
Johnny take a time out in breathing
when I smack his ass for not acting

508
00:38:04.920 --> 00:38:08.719
proper and respectful or being thoughtful.
Yeah, that's he's getting a time out

509
00:38:08.760 --> 00:38:13.559
and breathing because he's going to be
heavily crying and sucking up boogers after a

510
00:38:13.559 --> 00:38:16.280
good smacking on the butt. Yeah, giving your kid a time out is

511
00:38:16.360 --> 00:38:20.119
just as weak is giving him a
trophy for every god gang thing. Bro,

512
00:38:20.840 --> 00:38:23.159
breakdown. I'm with you. I'm
with you. That's why we're doing

513
00:38:23.199 --> 00:38:29.039
this show. Back to the accro
And if something is said on this show

514
00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:30.800
that you go, oh, I
don't really believe that, or I I've

515
00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:37.960
changed my mind. I've evolutionized myself. I've come to be I've evolved.

516
00:38:37.840 --> 00:38:42.360
Well, we're sorry, because there's
things that should not change, and one

517
00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:45.559
of those is the ability to train
up a child in the way that they

518
00:38:45.599 --> 00:38:50.559
should go exactly. Bro. I
mean, come on, bro we I

519
00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:54.000
came from a Catholic school, you
know, and every now and then one

520
00:38:54.039 --> 00:38:58.480
of those tangs would you know,
try to hit you with a ruler or

521
00:38:59.119 --> 00:39:01.360
pull out your ear. You know, I had a penguin wash my mouth

522
00:39:01.400 --> 00:39:07.760
out with soap, not hand soul, bro, not powdered soap. Brother.

523
00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:10.320
You know what discipline is when they
pull your tongue out of your mouth

524
00:39:10.360 --> 00:39:14.760
and they're washing it with powdered soul. Bro. Nice, Yeah, Bro,

525
00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:20.320
some of those nuns were pretty mean, you know. That's why I

526
00:39:20.320 --> 00:39:25.679
called them penguins. It was cold
disiy. Oh well, there are plenty

527
00:39:25.679 --> 00:39:30.519
of things that made us a lot
tougher back then that they are now for

528
00:39:30.679 --> 00:39:35.840
kids. And I don't you know, I really don't blame the kids at

529
00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:39.880
all. I blame a lot of
their parents. Most of it I blame

530
00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:45.679
on their parents. But I also
blame society, and I blame the governing,

531
00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:51.480
the governor governments of each city.
And I blame here here we go,

532
00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:53.719
and I'll get some slack because you
know what, this is an eighties

533
00:39:53.719 --> 00:39:58.280
show. Here we go. I
blame Hollywood for a lot of that.

534
00:39:58.519 --> 00:40:05.280
Son of a monkey. I because
Hollywood has been the number one brain washing

535
00:40:05.400 --> 00:40:10.559
machine. Yes, society, because
you know, they they decide something,

536
00:40:10.639 --> 00:40:14.920
they show it to everybody, and
now everybody else wants to copy it.

537
00:40:15.159 --> 00:40:17.840
Yes, And you know what,
on that note you bring up Hollywood,

538
00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:22.000
if you ever sit down, sat
down and watch any of these kids shows

539
00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:29.360
that are all over the cable networks
or whatever wherever they're at, they downplay

540
00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:34.960
the parents is being stupid and unhip, and the kids in these shows are

541
00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:38.880
disrespectful, they act like adults.
And then you have the lap crack and

542
00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:44.159
that just adds to it. So
subconsciously, our kids are thinking that they

543
00:40:44.199 --> 00:40:50.119
can act like that with the adults
nowadays. And it's just a far cry

544
00:40:50.239 --> 00:40:53.360
from you know, shows that we're
watching, you know, like the Jeffersons.

545
00:40:53.960 --> 00:40:57.320
Right, how many times did George
Jefferson say he was going to whoop

546
00:40:57.360 --> 00:41:00.079
somebody's ass and he was getting ready
to do it until Wheezy mellowed them out?

547
00:41:00.599 --> 00:41:04.360
You know what I mean? Archie
Bunker of the seventies, you know

548
00:41:04.400 --> 00:41:06.679
what I mean, he could say
whatever he wanted. Was he a bigot?

549
00:41:06.719 --> 00:41:08.840
Was he racist? You know?
Only one that knows that was a

550
00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:13.639
character And it was a character.
Wasn't a real individual. It was a

551
00:41:13.719 --> 00:41:17.280
man portraying a character, but a
man portraying a character in a raw form.

552
00:41:17.760 --> 00:41:22.519
Right. You know what we've done. What we've done is we've decided,

553
00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:25.679
and I say, we just to
include myself as nobody starts hating out

554
00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:30.719
there, But we as a society
have thought, you know what, we're

555
00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:36.679
going to set up a whole new
guideline for life and for words. I

556
00:41:36.800 --> 00:41:39.000
just heard this. I just heard
this, bro the other day. I

557
00:41:39.119 --> 00:41:45.480
heard that they're going to start making
a new dictionary because there are words that

558
00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:51.440
are offensive that should not be in
the dictionary. Wow, that is part

559
00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:54.239
of our language and it should be
there. And let me give you a

560
00:41:54.320 --> 00:42:00.280
quick example. So we are no
longer they no longer want us to call

561
00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:07.679
people stupid, okay, because stupid
is hurtful and demeaning and it can cause

562
00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:15.400
future, you know, emotional trauma
to that person. So I took it

563
00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:20.599
very simple. Imagine a word as
simple as stupid, and for you to

564
00:42:20.719 --> 00:42:24.599
be offended to the degree because you
said, you know what, don't do

565
00:42:24.639 --> 00:42:29.920
that, that's kind of stupid.
So now I just traumatized you for all

566
00:42:29.960 --> 00:42:32.679
of your life. So now your
whole generations after you are going to be

567
00:42:32.719 --> 00:42:37.760
retarded. Oh sorry, I can't
stay retarded. No, And they're going

568
00:42:37.800 --> 00:42:40.840
to go home and lock themselves in
the room and look at all the trophies

569
00:42:40.840 --> 00:42:45.320
that they received when they didn't go
out and participate to win or lose,

570
00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:51.079
but they were there that I'm the
kind of individual that is a pansy asked,

571
00:42:51.119 --> 00:42:52.559
Oh yeah, Are they going to
take the word pansy ass away?

572
00:42:52.679 --> 00:42:57.920
Oh yeah, definitely. How about
jackass? No, that's gone gone.

573
00:42:59.559 --> 00:43:04.559
Did you not give my son a
sticker for participating? You know, I'm

574
00:43:04.559 --> 00:43:07.960
gonna have to call the office and
complain about your coaching. Your coaching methods

575
00:43:08.039 --> 00:43:13.760
are really raw, and I don't
agree. I don't like my son running

576
00:43:13.880 --> 00:43:17.400
laps. He needs a sticker with
a smiley face. You need to get

577
00:43:17.440 --> 00:43:22.360
your ass right off of my diamond
lady like a sap. Yeah yeah,

578
00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:28.440
but yeah, So it's those are
Look, everything that we've said here today

579
00:43:28.639 --> 00:43:31.199
are a bunch of changreas. Yeah, there are a bunch of changreas.

580
00:43:31.679 --> 00:43:35.559
I mean, what's happened to us
is a society. I mean, listen,

581
00:43:35.920 --> 00:43:39.000
this is Tascano and change just being
upfront with you, no jock talk

582
00:43:39.079 --> 00:43:47.239
right now. This is us being
straightforward to you and thinking, holy crap,

583
00:43:47.360 --> 00:43:52.039
what happened? We were like this
in the eighties, and now we

584
00:43:52.119 --> 00:43:59.000
think society thinks that everything that we
did back then is wrong. And then

585
00:43:59.119 --> 00:44:02.159
every now, every adult has to
believe that. And you know what,

586
00:44:02.239 --> 00:44:06.920
here's what gets me, bro.
A lot of the older millennials that are

587
00:44:06.960 --> 00:44:10.440
almost you know, they were born
in the eighties, right, the older

588
00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:15.639
millennials they're born in like the latter
part of the eighties, and they're they're

589
00:44:15.639 --> 00:44:19.519
falling for this. They're saying,
yeah, absolutely, we need to evolve.

590
00:44:19.840 --> 00:44:25.400
Screw the eighties. Yeah, it's
it's become a society of I'm gonna

591
00:44:25.440 --> 00:44:31.119
go on a limb and say,
wood see itis. That's what society lives

592
00:44:31.119 --> 00:44:37.719
in now, woo see itis?
I can. I was talking to my

593
00:44:37.719 --> 00:44:39.800
wife one day and uh, I
was telling I was contemplate going back to

594
00:44:39.880 --> 00:44:45.920
stand up comedy, and uh,
I've been hit up by a few promoters

595
00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:50.239
that I used to do gigs with
before. They've inquired on social media why

596
00:44:50.280 --> 00:44:52.400
I dropped out of the game.
I don't get it in the specifics because

597
00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:54.920
to me, it's like, okay, you got me on social media.

598
00:44:54.920 --> 00:44:59.159
Can you see that I'm doing radio
now? Hello? Do you remember covid

599
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:02.000
ovid in radio? That's what I'm
doing now right? And part of me

600
00:45:02.119 --> 00:45:09.199
misses stand up because I get that
inter that immediate satisfaction of the crowd.

601
00:45:09.239 --> 00:45:15.159
But the thing with that it goes
like this the way society is, they

602
00:45:15.239 --> 00:45:22.639
won't like me as a performer because
I'm going to I'm going to crash and

603
00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:25.079
brash and bash, and I'm gonna
call it like I see it, and

604
00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:30.840
I'm going to use vulgar terminology and
I'm going to be as rab out a

605
00:45:30.920 --> 00:45:37.280
topic as I can. But in
today's world, you can't do that.

606
00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:40.079
And I want to bring it up
is because some of these guys that I

607
00:45:40.159 --> 00:45:43.599
did gigs with they want me to
go back, but they want me to

608
00:45:43.679 --> 00:45:50.280
do a clean show. So I've
already turned down maybe ten to twenty offers

609
00:45:50.320 --> 00:45:54.159
to go back and do it,
because I'm not going to change my routine,

610
00:45:54.639 --> 00:46:00.519
my outlook, the way I carry
myself. As a comment, just

611
00:46:00.599 --> 00:46:05.800
because some woos is going to sit
in the crowd and get offended on what

612
00:46:05.880 --> 00:46:07.519
I said, It's not worth it
for me. That's the bottom line.

613
00:46:07.559 --> 00:46:09.800
Gas in my vehicle and go do
it, bro. Yeah, and there's

614
00:46:09.800 --> 00:46:14.480
gonna be there are going to be
those people in the crowd who don't like

615
00:46:14.719 --> 00:46:20.400
what you said because you don't think
like they do. And we society is

616
00:46:20.400 --> 00:46:24.159
training people to to think, well, if you don't agree with what I

617
00:46:24.199 --> 00:46:29.960
think, then you're the one who's
wrong, not yes. So you see

618
00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:34.719
that all over social media. So
all of Hollywood is right all the time,

619
00:46:35.119 --> 00:46:39.440
and everybody who is brought up traditionally
think. You know, I want

620
00:46:39.519 --> 00:46:45.400
my kids to respect their elders.
I want my kids to grow up successful

621
00:46:45.440 --> 00:46:50.480
and to go to a good school
and to obey their parents and to look

622
00:46:50.519 --> 00:46:54.280
for a nice, you know,
partner in their life. And so to

623
00:46:54.320 --> 00:47:00.679
them, that's wrong because the kids
should do whatever the hell they want and

624
00:47:00.280 --> 00:47:04.599
let them find out for themselves.
I don't think so. I don't think

625
00:47:04.639 --> 00:47:07.440
so. I needed training, I
needed guidance when I grew up, and

626
00:47:07.480 --> 00:47:12.920
so do my kids. Yeah,
exactly, exactly. You know, it's

627
00:47:13.039 --> 00:47:17.880
funny because you know, when you
when you really dissect what we have going

628
00:47:17.960 --> 00:47:22.679
on in society, you know,
the later seventies, the era of us

629
00:47:22.679 --> 00:47:28.760
in the eighties, it's these generations
that I feel bro dropped the ball on

630
00:47:29.400 --> 00:47:35.320
parenting. Uh. Divorce was just
a term that was so easy to get

631
00:47:35.360 --> 00:47:39.559
in and out of. Nobody was
really willing to work and hold their commitment

632
00:47:40.079 --> 00:47:45.639
and try to have trust. It
was very easy for both those those eras

633
00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:50.760
for people to just to give up
and walk away, and a lot of

634
00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:53.639
parents, you know, I'll blame
our our generation wholeheartedly, you know,

635
00:47:53.639 --> 00:47:58.119
because God knows. I mean,
I had a child didn't stay with her

636
00:47:58.159 --> 00:48:00.760
mother. You know, her mother
wanted to go out and party and do

637
00:48:00.840 --> 00:48:02.880
all the wrong things. And it
was like, hey, you know,

638
00:48:04.039 --> 00:48:07.119
just because we're in this era,
that's not the way I was raised,

639
00:48:07.119 --> 00:48:09.239
so I did what I had to
do to raise my kid, and a

640
00:48:09.320 --> 00:48:13.000
lot of parents don't do that.
We have a lot of dropout dads,

641
00:48:13.360 --> 00:48:15.960
and we have a lot of bow
out moms nowadays. Bro. And until

642
00:48:16.440 --> 00:48:22.480
we get a grip a grip on
that scenario, we're just gonna have way

643
00:48:22.519 --> 00:48:28.239
more damaged kids. And the ball
falls short on the field of our generation

644
00:48:28.719 --> 00:48:30.639
where a lot of us had kids
at a wedlock, a lot of us

645
00:48:30.719 --> 00:48:37.159
didn't think about the commitment, and
you know, divorced was just way too

646
00:48:37.159 --> 00:48:42.320
easy. It's almost people were giving
up trying to raise the family and doing

647
00:48:42.360 --> 00:48:45.840
what's right by the family and keeping
the family union together and working your problems

648
00:48:45.840 --> 00:48:50.800
out. It was easier for somebody
for people to start, well, oh,

649
00:48:50.840 --> 00:48:52.159
you can go with your dad this
weekend, and I'm going to go

650
00:48:52.199 --> 00:48:55.079
out with the girls and do what
I want to do, or you're going

651
00:48:55.119 --> 00:48:59.760
to live with your mom because I
got a hog and I want to ride

652
00:48:59.760 --> 00:49:04.039
with the boys and I want to
womanize. I mean, And it's sad

653
00:49:04.239 --> 00:49:07.679
because that's a lot of them are
the generation that we are talking to you

654
00:49:07.800 --> 00:49:09.119
right now. I don't want to
kiss anybody off, no, but it's

655
00:49:09.559 --> 00:49:14.519
look, everything We've mentioned this many
times before. On the program, we're

656
00:49:14.559 --> 00:49:16.559
going to talk about the good,
the bad, and the ugly of the

657
00:49:16.599 --> 00:49:22.440
eighties, and one of those ugly
and bad things was that a lack of

658
00:49:22.480 --> 00:49:24.719
commitment on the side of our parents. Look, I come from a broken

659
00:49:24.760 --> 00:49:28.639
home. I come my parents got
a divorce when I was twelve. It

660
00:49:28.719 --> 00:49:32.159
was nineteen eighty four. My parents
got a divorce, and I was made

661
00:49:32.239 --> 00:49:36.159
to choose, you know, as
an only child, that was made to

662
00:49:36.239 --> 00:49:38.119
choose which one I wanted to go
live at. That's you don't want that

663
00:49:38.199 --> 00:49:42.960
for any kid to go through,
you know what I mean. And so,

664
00:49:43.360 --> 00:49:46.440
yeah, I agree with you wholeheartedly. And I believe that that these

665
00:49:46.519 --> 00:49:51.559
kids, as you mentioned before,
are coming up in a in a decade

666
00:49:51.599 --> 00:49:59.760
that's much harder for them to even
think about being tough or to think about

667
00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:04.519
anywhere near what you and I had
to go through back in the eighties,

668
00:50:04.559 --> 00:50:07.480
seventies and eighties. Yeah, it's
it's insane, Like, uh, you

669
00:50:07.519 --> 00:50:12.760
know, like I brought up my
daughter, you know, my life till

670
00:50:12.800 --> 00:50:15.239
she was fourteen. But then you
know, I hooked up with Missus Chang

671
00:50:15.280 --> 00:50:20.000
and I raised her two girls as
my own daughters. You know, and

672
00:50:21.119 --> 00:50:23.280
you know their dad was locked up, you know, eighties guy wanted to

673
00:50:23.360 --> 00:50:28.719
go party and and not be responsible
for his his woman and his kids.

674
00:50:29.320 --> 00:50:31.360
And you know, he's a three
striker. He's gone now for good.

675
00:50:32.599 --> 00:50:37.039
You know, my eldest, the
eldest daughter kind of denounced him as a

676
00:50:37.119 --> 00:50:39.360
father and proclaimed me as her dad. So did the other one. So

677
00:50:40.199 --> 00:50:43.920
some scenarios, you get lucky.
Kids will get lucky. If you have

678
00:50:43.960 --> 00:50:46.480
a really good stepparents, it's gonna
you know, knows what it's all about

679
00:50:46.519 --> 00:50:51.159
to be a parent. But then
there's some kids, bro that do get

680
00:50:51.840 --> 00:50:58.760
fall between the cracks to where a
step parent is only a is a barricade.

681
00:50:59.000 --> 00:51:02.440
Some stepparents are barricades and some and
some parents when they get a divorce,

682
00:51:02.519 --> 00:51:07.480
and let's say the kid stays with
the mom and the mom had there's

683
00:51:07.480 --> 00:51:14.199
no stopping her and she goes through
stepdads for that kid, like if it

684
00:51:14.280 --> 00:51:17.400
was skittles, you know what I
mean. I myself know of at least

685
00:51:19.679 --> 00:51:23.000
well more than four that I've had
to go through as a kid. Yeah,

686
00:51:23.039 --> 00:51:28.639
and so none of that can be
good for the you know, psyche

687
00:51:28.719 --> 00:51:31.719
of any child. No, And
it doesn't matter what age, bro because

688
00:51:32.519 --> 00:51:36.760
you know, when it comes to
a kid, even as a teenager,

689
00:51:36.800 --> 00:51:40.039
if your kid is at home and
you're you're doing bad parenting skills or showing

690
00:51:40.079 --> 00:51:44.639
your kid a bad way of life, or you're not paying attention to them,

691
00:51:45.079 --> 00:51:49.159
even as a teenager, that kid
is going to have problems, absolutely,

692
00:51:49.480 --> 00:51:52.440
and they're going to be that could
be long term. It all depends

693
00:51:52.760 --> 00:51:57.800
on the state of mind and the
mental strength of that kid. And today,

694
00:51:57.840 --> 00:52:02.360
with all the sugarcoating and and pussy
footing, you're not teaching these kids

695
00:52:02.360 --> 00:52:06.119
how to toughen up. And we're
going to see more and more suicide,

696
00:52:06.119 --> 00:52:09.360
which is sad, more and more
bowling, more and more addictions, shootings,

697
00:52:09.840 --> 00:52:14.079
more shootings. And that's one thing
we didn't we you know, I

698
00:52:14.119 --> 00:52:15.800
grew up where I grew up.
Yeah, you know, every now and

699
00:52:15.840 --> 00:52:19.440
then there was a somebody got shot
at, you know what I mean.

700
00:52:19.480 --> 00:52:22.199
I got shot at when I was
young, but I wasn't you know what

701
00:52:22.199 --> 00:52:25.519
I mean, Just that's the way
it was. But now a days in

702
00:52:25.599 --> 00:52:30.320
comparison, the very first time I
got shot at, well, my buddies

703
00:52:31.000 --> 00:52:35.039
was the last time I decided to
live that life. I'm not going to

704
00:52:35.119 --> 00:52:37.599
go into a story. But that's
when I said, Nah, the odds

705
00:52:37.039 --> 00:52:40.840
are different nowadays, you know,
because you know I've told you i'd come

706
00:52:40.840 --> 00:52:43.679
from the old school. You got
a problem with me, or I got

707
00:52:43.760 --> 00:52:45.599
a problem with you, I'm gonna
put you in check. You're gonna put

708
00:52:45.599 --> 00:52:47.400
me in a check. We're gonna
go outside, we're gonna dance, and

709
00:52:47.559 --> 00:52:50.519
you know what I mean. And
one of us he is either going to

710
00:52:50.599 --> 00:52:53.400
get back up off the ground and
shake the other's hand or the other or

711
00:52:53.440 --> 00:52:55.360
one of us isn't going to get
off the ground. For a couple of

712
00:52:55.400 --> 00:53:00.679
minutes too. You wake up.
It's not like that anymore, and you

713
00:53:00.760 --> 00:53:05.079
see ridiculous shootings now because these kids
have no i'll say it, balls,

714
00:53:05.079 --> 00:53:09.159
no guts, right, no,
no no brain to think pass something as

715
00:53:09.199 --> 00:53:14.880
heinous is bringing a gun to a
freaking argument. You're weak. Yeah,

716
00:53:14.920 --> 00:53:17.000
you're gonna All you're gonna do is
put yourself in prison. You're gonna be

717
00:53:17.079 --> 00:53:21.159
raped over and over again. It's
gonna break you, and you're gonna die

718
00:53:21.199 --> 00:53:23.440
there. That's the bottom line.
When you use a gun, that's the

719
00:53:23.519 --> 00:53:28.559
only obvious place you're going. You're
going to be somebody's cell bitch, that's

720
00:53:28.559 --> 00:53:31.960
where you're heading. This has been
the one and only back to the eighties.

We're going to be right back to
Sarah. Goodbyes. So don't go

00:54:42.800 --> 00:54:49.320
were not very pleasant. You know. As we were mentioning hold on,

00:55:15.480 --> 00:55:19.039
a jackass, just talking around,
talking like you're some high priest. There's

743
00:55:19.079 --> 00:55:22.559
something telling me how to hate not
to hate. You know what I hate

744
00:55:22.559 --> 00:55:24.079
when you guys act like that,
Well, I hate that. My vehicle

745
00:55:24.159 --> 00:55:27.559
right now, my Volkswagen has broken
down. I go down there and knock

746
00:55:27.599 --> 00:55:30.360
the hell out of both of you
and Cheeky Changy whatever the hell his name

747
00:55:30.480 --> 00:55:31.440
is. Well, now, Dick, I mean, you gotta give us

748
00:55:31.480 --> 00:55:35.519
a break, because this show isn't
always about laughs and smiles. Sometimes we

749
00:55:35.639 --> 00:55:37.360
got to talk about some serious things
that went on back in the eighties.

750
00:55:37.519 --> 00:55:40.960
Listen here, Italian Stallion. Man, you know, the only thing you're

751
00:55:42.000 --> 00:55:45.039
going to get a break is of
breaking this line. I don't want you

752
00:55:45.039 --> 00:55:47.840
guys to be all wishy washy and
try to save the goddamn world. I

753
00:55:47.960 --> 00:55:52.920
want to be entertained, you understand
me. So you're trying to tell us

754
00:55:52.960 --> 00:55:55.360
that you're not entertained by what we
talked about today. I wasn't entertained at

755
00:55:55.400 --> 00:55:59.760
all. I thought, Oh my
god, somebody break out a violin for

756
00:55:59.760 --> 00:56:04.400
these day sissy boys right here?
Who who? I think both of you

757
00:56:04.480 --> 00:56:07.880
got watched too much? Rocky.
You think you're tougher something. You know

758
00:56:07.920 --> 00:56:12.119
what it's like to be jack hater? No you don't, and do you

759
00:56:12.199 --> 00:56:15.239
do? I hate you and I
hate to show goodbye? All right,

760
00:56:15.280 --> 00:56:20.320
Well, dick hater ladies and gentlemen, Uh, it's always a treat.

761
00:56:20.519 --> 00:56:24.119

called made dick the haters that he is.

762
00:56:24.159 --> 00:56:28.679
I mean, maybe he wasn't going
on in his life, Yeah,

763
00:56:29.079 --> 00:56:31.920
probably a lot. And now where
does he work? Walmart? Is easy?

764
00:56:31.960 --> 00:56:36.079
A greeter? Oh? He was
a door greeter at Walmart and then

765
00:56:36.079 --> 00:56:40.400
he got he got fired for tripping
a lady because she wouldn't show the receipt

766
00:56:40.480 --> 00:56:43.880
to him. I mean, I
heard me, mad, I heard he

767
00:56:43.920 --> 00:56:46.280

at Whiskey Pezz over there. Before you
