the ten million men suffering in silence
from a condition known as manopause. Manopause

12

afflicts men over the age of forty
eight, men who are married, and

13
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:56.039
is one of the leading causes of
depression, loss of manliness, and the

14
00:00:56.039 --> 00:01:00.280
popularity of movies starring Channing Tatum.
But there is hope. Girly mandi more

25
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:46.840
kids, have you ever wanted a
sugary cereal and your mom never bought

26
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.120
it for you? Well, now, as a part of this delicious breakfast

27
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:55.239
post, Cereal brings you a cereal
four children of all ages and yes,

28
00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:00.400
even those pesky immature adults in your
family. It'll make you crack and pop.

29
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:05.040
Listen to some of the happy folks
that have tried our snowy wonderland of

30
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.960
a cereal. Hi, my name's
Kenny. I'm from Fontana. Man.

31
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:14.039
I used to get so mad at
my mom and dad. They wouldn't buy

32
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:17.560
me any of the good cereals.
One day, this new cereal came out

33
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:21.759
and it was for free, and
my dad said, Hey, that lazy

34
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:24.639
son of a gun in his room
can't do nothing but watch video games.

35
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:30.080
He's faving in school. Let's get
this new cereal. Man. After one

36
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:37.599
bull, I was raking the grass, delivering newspapers, going to scorely Man.

37
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:43.199
I would lay countless hours in my
room rearranging posters on my walls.

38
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:47.439
Thanks cracking Pops, I love you. Start your morning out with a bang,

39
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:52.360
crack and puff. Cereal is part
of your nutritious breakfast and is loaded

40
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:55.599
with all kinds of ingredients that make
depressed adults forget about all their problems.

41
00:02:55.759 --> 00:03:00.639
Oh used to think a kid cereals
just for kids, But I work a

42
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:04.919
double graveyard. I got four kids. One night I was too tired of

43
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:08.560
making lovings to the wife, playing
baseball with the kids, having to drive

44
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:13.599
around do a double shifter. I
decided one night, I'm gonna have me

45
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:15.520
a bowl of cereal before I go
to work. What the heck the kids

46
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:19.520
are to sleep? The wife bearely
getting up. I doubt I get my

47
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:22.240
eggs before I'm out the door.
It's already two in the morning. Had

48
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:25.080
a nice bowl of cracking pops.
Heck. I worked three shifts straight.

49
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:29.319
I came home, did the grass. I even washed the car, I

50
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:31.960
did the laundry. I took the
kids to the batting cages. Cracking pops.

51
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:38.360
That's toughest cracking man. I'll sell
my soul for a bowl of Cractet

52
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:42.680
Pops. So get your box of
cracking pop cereal today and show those nasty

53
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:46.840
energy dream companies that they've got nothing
on you, because you've got cracking pop

54
00:03:46.960 --> 00:04:11.240
cereal part of this nutritious crack.
One point, you are listening to the

55
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:15.680
one and only back to the eighties
radio. I am Riskana from Riskano and

56
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:19.519
Chang. Hope you have a great, great entrance to twenty twenty two.

57
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:24.480
Of course, we can't do the
show without the man who is a legend

58
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:29.279
and a myth in his very own
mind, A man who has had more

59
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:34.199
encounters with glam metal frontmen than anyone
I know, A man who has been

60
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:40.839
seen late at night at Super A
Foods shopping for condoms. Here add Back

61
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:45.480
to the Eighties. We call him
the Chang Changs right, How the heck

62
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.160
are you happy? Twenty twenty two? My friend, my brother, my

63
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:54.839
partner in crime, my favorite Battalian
besides ship Boy r D and all are

64
00:04:54.920 --> 00:05:00.560
beautiful listeners of Back to the Eighties. Where Ever you made the it's been

65
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:05.680
a long time. A happy belated
New Year's and merry belated Christmas and a

66
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:13.759
happy belated Hanukkah. Most of you
are probably struggling with your New Year's resolutions.

67
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:18.120
As for myself, I gave up
giving things up because it's not worth

68
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:24.480
the failure. Now, Tisconnell,
did you give anything up as a new

69
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:29.399
Year's resolution? Well, apparently,
and for those of you who do not

70
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:33.240
know, apparently, I gave up
my health because it's it's been an interesting

71
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:36.759
ride, my friend, and for
everybody in all eighties fans out there,

72
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:40.600
and everybody who's a fan of Back
to the Eighties radio and have been wondering,

73
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:45.600
where the henk have these two guys, these two bowses gone, these

74
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:47.720
fools go. And I want to
tell you, but before I tell you,

75
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:53.920
I want to give some shout outs, because I did promise Ted Richardson

76
00:05:54.199 --> 00:06:00.560
a big shabby boy. Ted Richardson
from Facebook, we were common back and

77
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.040
forth on a post that we put
on there regarding the simpler times of the

78
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:10.279
eighties, and we kicked it off
with some comments and so Ted a big

79
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:14.720
shout out to you from both changing
myself and back to the eighties Radio and

80
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:19.199
we hope you're having a blast keeping
the nostalgia of the eighties alive. Now

81
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:26.040
explain to our listeners that maybe didn't
see the picture of these sequence and the

82
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:30.680
beauty of that picture. So basically
the picture, and it's a beautiful high

83
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:34.680
resolution picture which if you click on
it and expands, it goes all over

84
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:38.839
all over the screen. It shows
the picture of the Sunset strips, so

85
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:44.240
you've got traffic going to and from
both directions, and it's on Sunset Strip,

86
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.319
and you can see the signs of
the street that say Clark Street,

87
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:51.360
Saint Vincent, Larabee, and then
you can see the billboards both on the

88
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:55.079
left and right side. On the
left it's against all odds. On the

89
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:59.920
right it's Air Supply, Chang's favorite
band they're going to be in concert.

90
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:04.759
And then down on the right side, it says the central which today is

91
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:10.480
the viper room. You can see
the gas station prices a dollar eight chang

92
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:15.040
a dollar eight a gallon. Foller, yes, and now what are we

93
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:19.040
paying here in the US? We're
getting for almost five dollars? Almost five

94
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:25.000
dollars a gallon violated. We weren't
even thinking about the funny thing we're being

95
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:28.800
violated. And yet no one even
offers us dinner, right. No one

96
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:33.639
brushes our hair to the side and
kisses them the cheek. They don't caress

97
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:38.759
us and tell us sweet nothings.
They just stick it to us, bend

98
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:42.480
us over the pump, and they
stick it to us. Could I be

99
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:45.959
anymore graphics that they do, because
it's the truth. Now, I understand

100
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:48.279
that all over the world you may
be listening, and maybe you guys pay

101
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:51.600
more of gas. I know that
in some countries in Europe their pain as

102
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:57.040
high as eight dollars a gallon back
in the eighties. How much wherever you're

103
00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:00.839
from, how much were you paying
a gallon of gas back in the eighties,

104
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:07.000
And you know we were paying here
dollar eight And those times have never

105
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:09.920
ever come back, my friend.
And it's the post that we put on

106
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:18.480
our Facebook page, and that's where
I got to meet Ted Richardson by posting,

107
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:20.560
and so I told him I was
going to give m a shout out.

108
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:24.199
He is, by the way,
a graduate of Marshwood High School in

109
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:30.079
Elliot, Maine, and he said
he spent his days daydreaming about the sunset

110
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:33.120
strip. I lived it, breed
it, I was it great times.

111
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.840
That's all I could say. Yeah, I really appreciate everybody listening, and

112
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.279
that takes the time that even though
Tuscano and che have been off air for

113
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.320
over a month. And now let
me tell you the reason why, because

114
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:48.279
both Chang and I have some stories
for you, and we're not even going

115
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:54.480
to take our initial break here this
day because we just want to spend some

116
00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:56.279
time with you. You know,
wherever you're listening to us from. You

117
00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:01.240
may be at work, maybe you're
at school, or maybe you're doing exercise,

118
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.919
maybe you're just driving in the car, maybe you're just kicking back at

119
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:07.159
home, whatever you're doing it.
We want to kind of give you some

120
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:11.840
of the stuff that we went through
so far. We got the COVID.

121
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:16.440
It was horrible, and those of
you who have experienced COVID what we feel

122
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:20.440
fortunate that we did come out of
this alive and that we did come out

123
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:24.080
of this without some of the repercussions
that a lot of people do have.

124
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:30.440
So we're thankful for that. However, we are now part of this community

125
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:33.759
that has had COVID and that can
tell you, honestly, this is not

126
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:37.039
like some people say, Oh,
it's just like the flu or it's just

127
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:41.120
like the cold. I went through
the fevers, the chills, the back

128
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:46.600
aches, I went through the lack
of being able to breathe as well as

129
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:50.399
I normally am, and it really
got you know, I got my wife,

130
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:56.480
it got myself. We are fortunate
that even though we have two young

131
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:03.320
guys. Here are two boys sixteen
and eight. They were touched very briefly

132
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.639
from COVID COVID and they came out
fine, and we were on the way

133
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:11.440
out. Now we just had that
pesky, lingering cough. And on top

134
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:15.799
of that, now I got another
family member. I got my mother in

135
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:20.360
the hospital. She's she recently had
a stroke and she's got COVID. So

136
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.440
I tell you this, this new
year just hasn't started off on the right

137
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:28.480
foot. So I don't know what
to tell you, bro, But not

138
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:35.679
only attached itself to us, it
also made its way through Chang and some

139
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:37.720
of the people he loves as well, right Chang, Oh yeah, you

140
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:46.240
know what Christmas after Christmas was tough. You know, I'm not waving the

141
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:50.960
flag for Tuscano and I, but
we're going through the same thing as everybody

142
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:56.919
else is. Virus is taking its
toll on everybody. My children, family

143
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:03.919
members have gotten a virus. I
recently lost another friend of mine in southern

144
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:09.120
California from the virus in his fifties. This is no joke. This is

145
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:15.279
not a political ploy one party against
another party, not at all. This

146
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:20.759
is something serious. And the reason
we're talking about it tonight because you know,

147
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:26.200
not only me and Tiscano are going
through this, but everybody else out

148
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:31.799
there has known somebody or personally gone
through this. And we bring it back

149
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:37.559
out on back to the eighties because
it's in a bit, it's reminiscent of

150
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:43.879
the eighties. With the age epidemic, A certain part of freedom or everyday

151
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:48.320
freedom that we go without thinking about
or acknowledging, has been taken away.

152
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:54.159
Nowadays with the COVID we have to
wear masks, we have to be aware

153
00:11:54.159 --> 00:12:00.480
of our surroundings. Make sure that
we are pretty healthy and fit, well

154
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:05.919
vaccinated, be aware of who's around
us. Back in the eighties, the

155
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:11.480
freedom of any type of blood work, we had to be in fear of

156
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:16.480
blood transfusions. For a lot of
people back then in the eighties, their

157
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:22.240
liberty or their ability to live life
as they once did was taken away because

158
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:28.639
of that disease. And in that
same way, you know, we're going

159
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:35.559
through this terrible stage of life,
and the entire world is suffering in this

160
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:41.480
case as we experiment with something that
we've never experimented with, kind of like

161
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:46.600
back in the eighties that the introduction
of AIDS started exploding and they had never

162
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:52.759
experienced anything like that before. Now
it was limited to certain portions of the

163
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:58.320
country, certain portions of the community. I understand that in our case with

164
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:03.440
COVID, it's the entire world.
So it is the feeling of your liberties

165
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:07.639
being taken away. And it's not
been taken away by the government at all.

166
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:13.320
It's been taken away by a disease
that whether it was man made or

167
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:18.639
not, I can tell you that
it's touched every person in some way on

168
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.960
Earth. I just count my blessings
that we've made it out alive. I

169
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:28.240
feel even the amount of sadness and
the amount of compassion that I have for

170
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:31.360
people who have lost their loved ones. You know, I've lost loved ones

171
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:37.639
as well because of COVID. I
feel so attached to those people that have

172
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:39.559
lost their loved ones, and I
totally feel for you. And here it

173
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:43.519
Back to the Eighties. We want
to tell you that you know that we

174
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:48.000
love you guys. We understand what
you guys are going through because both Chang

175
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:52.720
and myself have lost people that we
love. So that is, in short,

176
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:56.960
the story of why we haven't been
on air. And one of those

177
00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:01.360
things that we want to talk about, Chang is that we need the involvement

178
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.320
of our fans. So wherever you're
listening to us, we want to involve

179
00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:09.519
you in Back to the Eighties to
be a part of a community that is

180
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:15.360
that's keeping the Eighties alive. If
we can make one person through hard times,

181
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:20.320
crack a smile and forget about all
of their troubles at least for a

182
00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:24.320
little while, we're doing a part. Going to our Back to the Eighties

183
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:30.039
Radio Patreon page. You could even
do it through our Facebook page. You

184
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:35.080
can go through our send us a
private message and Facebook and talk to us.

185
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:39.559
But with anything that you guys can
afford on a monthly basis to help

186
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:46.600
us out, to help to help
keep this show going and to keep allowing

187
00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:50.639
us to bring those eighties memories to
you. Yeah, you know what,

188
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:52.840
anybody out there, I mean,
come on, everybody, we've all fallen

189
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.879
upon tough times, especially with COVID
on top of that, just to cost

190
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.799
of living, the struggle to hold
onto a job, of the struggle to

191
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:11.440
pay you know, your bills monthly
and survive, you know, if you're

192
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:16.720
able to be a little bit more
fortunate and kick in to help us out,

193
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:20.799
you know, we're trying to create
a vibe here to bring radio back

194
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:26.879
from the past. We're doing this
because this is something of passion and kind

195
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:31.080
of a calling for both TASKANW and
I. We both really firmly believe in

196
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:35.840
the more humor and nostalgia we can
bring to you to make you feel a

197
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:41.679
little bit better than you did when
you pressed play to listen to us.

198
00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:46.679
Then that's what it's all about.
So if you can kick down anything,

199
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:50.639
we greatly appreciate it, and don't
think of it as like I'm going to

200
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:56.120
kick these two fools down some cash
to keep it going. No, we'll

201
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:00.679
keep it going, but we want
to magnify the whole in hire universe that

202
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:07.559
listened to us, to make everybody
feel a little bit better through all the

203
00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:11.080
crap that we go through. We're
gonna be right back. We're gonna take

204
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:15.600
a couple of seconds out at the
one and only Back to the Eighties Radio,

205
00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:23.960
like a creature of the night.
Back to the Eighties. Hey,

206
00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:29.879
this is Laurie Miller from the first
an original Expose and you're listening to Back

207
00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:37.279
to the Eighties Radio. Come back
to Back to the Eighties hosted by Daskano

208
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:41.480
and Chang. I hope you brought
your big boy pants. It's going to

209
00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:48.679
be a wild ride. Speaking of
wild, it's the Italian with this shirt

210
00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:52.960
dog. Now that's wild. You
know who I miss and we haven't.

211
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:56.039
I can't wait to talk with him. We might be able to call him.

212
00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:57.879
I'm not sure if he's going to
be available, but I haven't talked

213
00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:03.559
to Ron's the lately, and do
you have any idea if he's going to

214
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:06.920
be available today? You know what, I haven't talked to Rod since before

215
00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:11.319
New Year's Actually, I mean,
do you mind if we call him?

216
00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:12.480
Oh? No, I don't mind. I tried to get a hold of

217
00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:15.720
him. I wanted him to do
something with a little bit of the gray

218
00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:19.839
before the New Year's You know,
I was taking the Little Woman out for

219
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:27.920
a New Year's extra. You just
you just called your wife the little woman

220
00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:33.480
a little wow. There used to
be a commercial it was. It was

221
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:37.440
for like anti drunk commercial. How
many nights have you lain awake waiting,

222
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:41.400
afraid that he might not make it
home, but dreading the moment he does.

223
00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:48.119
If you're living with an alcoholic call
starting Point, the medically supervised impatient

224
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:55.880
treatment program that works. There is
everybody call starting Point. Now. Isn't

225
00:17:55.880 --> 00:18:00.799

the nightmare? Ah? A little woman

Well, I get it, I get

Chang's hairstylist, and I mean he
used to do my hair too, But

229
00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:18.799
no, we've kind of grown apart
because we all moved to different areas and

230
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:22.480
Chang is Chang lives very far next. I just text him, okay,

moment. He's a self indulged. Patrick

00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:51.240
states that he is under the influence
of who knows what? Wow, he

235
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:56.359
is now wearing a cheater brazier that
was underneath a cheater blazer. Nice.

236
00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:02.519

00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:34.680
in It's because I'm on extacy,
so you know what. You didn't have

to take the phone call you're if
you're in disposed here and no, what

255
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:42.200

256
00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:47.759
And you bitches have not been in
the studio to get neither one of

raped at yeah little Stone bar with
that hair. Well you haven't you haven't

260
00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:07.000

Oh my god, I haven't your

Oh my god. Oh I saw
the split ins before I seen him

264
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:27.079

00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:47.359

I said it here. All right,

270
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:56.920
Well you have a good one.
Thank you for hector, Johnny Rod Steele.

271
00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:00.759
Let's talk a little bit about some
of the static memories of the eighties.

272
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:03.599
Well, this goes back to the
seventies, because I was an altar

273
00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:07.880
board back in the seventies. Remember, I went to my I graduated from

274
00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:15.000
Motley Creish Grade in nineteen seventy nine
from Saint Benedict. Benedicts took me from

275
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:21.599
second grade to eighth grade, and
then I my education took place at Montabello

276
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:27.160
High School from ninth grade to twelfth
grade, where I like to say the

277
00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:32.680
rebirthing took form. So big shout
out to Monabella High them. Yes,

278
00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:36.119
a big shout out to all my
oiler fan, all my order brothers and

279
00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:40.079
sisters out there. What were some
of the things that stood out from your

280
00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:45.079
high school days right before you graduated
in eighty three, I would probably have

281
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:51.720
to go back to going to uh
Friday night football games after I had quit

282
00:22:52.119 --> 00:23:00.119
that football kind of brotherhood and I
joined a crew of all my crazy he

283
00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:06.440
asked buddies called Boys League, and
we would sit in the bleachers and we

284
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:12.319
would all wear sunglasses and we would
chant X rated uh cheers. Well,

285
00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:15.640
I was gonna say it sounded like
an X rated movie. Boys League.

286
00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:19.960
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we
were crazy. I'll give you our our

287
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:22.920
song really quick, or are you
ready for this? Not really, but

288
00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:30.799
we are the boys of Boys League. We don't dance, we don't date.

289
00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:37.079
If she doesn't give it up,
we will masterbate. That was seriously,

290
00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:42.279
that's a cheer that we would scream
out on Friday night during the varsity

291
00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:51.480
football games in between the camaraderie and
the fans singing in and cheering, and

292
00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:56.240
when the band would come on,
we would always kind of cater our little

293
00:23:56.359 --> 00:24:00.359
song to whatever song the band was
playing, and we would make sure it

294
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:03.359
was loud and proud. And now
you have to take there was probably thirty

295
00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:10.000
to forty of us. We all
used to partake in getting pretty shredded.

296
00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:15.440
Before going to the game. Uh, and uh we wore sunglasses. Yeah,

297
00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:18.720
it was crazy. A lot of
us were you know, the rock

298
00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:22.720
errors and Rollers, the bad bloods. Uh. A lot of us were

299
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:29.960
former US athletes of the high school
so boys league. Yeah, we were

300
00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:33.880
crazy. So we had a good
time in high school during during boys League.

301
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:37.000
I cannot tell you some of the
things that we did, but yeah,

302
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:42.839
we actually got Bob's Big Boy and
took him and put him on the

303
00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:48.519
roof of our high school when we
So you got the mascot from Bob's Big

304
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:52.160
Boy restaurants, Yeah you did.
You didn't like what Mark and Briant didn't

305
00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:56.359
try to say, yeah, but
we Yeah, we put a Hitler mustache

306
00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:59.839
on him, sprayed him up like, had a black leather jacket. Yeah,

307
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:03.559
yeah, we're we're crazy. If
I could script a movie of my

308
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:08.880
life, definitely boys League in Montabello
High School that Errow would be a preference,

309
00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:15.440
A very big footnote in the movie
of my life. We did some

310
00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:18.680
crazy things. Did you ever make
a teacher crying? Oh? Yeah,

311
00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:21.240
man, we had a teacher.
But this goes back to the seventies.

312
00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:23.599
We were at Saint Leics and we
had this uh, She was an older

313
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:29.200
lady. Her name was missus Fur
and they used to they, you know,

314
00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:34.759
they they gave this uh, poor
old lady the hell job of teaching

315
00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:41.240
us religion. And like we were
like we were just like badass kids man

316
00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:45.480
in Saint Leics, and she had
no control. And we knew that she

317
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:51.640
was very soft spoken. We were
very rambugged, rambunctious. You know.

318
00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:56.119
We ruled the we ruled the school. And she would be trying to talk

319
00:25:56.160 --> 00:26:00.680
to us in class and we would
get irate, and she would like didn't

320
00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:04.240
know how to contain us, so
she would close her eyes and bust out

321
00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:07.880
of Bible and put her hands over
the Bible and she would be, I'm

322
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:12.799
going to pray that this class calms
down and that you kids learn how to

323
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:17.559
be quiet and have respect. And
all this time she would be praying,

324
00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:22.519
writing and with her eyes closed,
and we'd be throwing a notebooks and books

325
00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:26.759
and pencils and erasers and pens and
who knows what across at each other.

326
00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:33.599
We'd be standing on the desks doing
all kinds of crazy stuff, and we

327
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:37.599
would bring this woman to tears and
she would cry and pray, and we

328
00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:44.160
just we were relentless. But that
was We also had a teacher named mister

329
00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:48.799
Naso and he had a problem with
his feet, so he had some surgery

330
00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:52.440
done and he had the tops of
his shoes cut out right. So it

331
00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:56.839
would, I guess a certain troop
acrosses does. When he would tell us

332
00:26:56.839 --> 00:27:02.599
something we didn't like it, we
would step on his feet. Class sucked,

333
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:07.240
you guys. In my eighth grade
class, we had a teacher mister

334
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:15.960
Elmendorf from Los Nieto's Junior High.
Okay, And the most hilarious thing is

335
00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:19.599
this was our science class. Every
every the entire school hated the guy.

336
00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:23.480
I mean. So we were in
his class and next to the wall we

337
00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:27.680
had wall electrical outlets, and I
told my friend Mark, that's when Mark

338
00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:32.000
and I met, and we actually
had met one year before that. So

339
00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:33.960
I told Mark, check this out. I'm gonna stick a pencil inside the

340
00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:37.400
outlet. See what happens. And
so I was took a pencil and the

341
00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:45.039
entire room I short circuited something and
the entire lights turned off in the room

342
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:48.839
and they had to come out and
bring the engineer on duty and fix what

343
00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:56.000
I had to short circuited. And
he caught me, and he also got

344
00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:59.519
I also got Mark in trouble because
we were always getting in trouble in his

345
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:03.920
rooms. So he said, Mark, Mario, there's another check on your

346
00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:08.799
citizenship grade. Go to the office. And so Mark and I would leave

347
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:14.680
the class, go right past the
office and out the front door of the

348
00:28:14.759 --> 00:28:18.759
school. Nice good times, anyway, good times. This is back to

349
00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:19.880
the eighties radio. We're gonna be
right back. I'll go away. There's

350
00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:32.400
a lot more with that game,
mister Gergushov teared down this wall. Welcome

362
00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:33.400
you could stand on your head and
on the ceiling. That position would not

363
00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:38.039
only be unavailable, but also undignified. And now back to the eighties with

364
00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:42.519
Toscano and Chang. This is back
in the eighties radio. This is Kano

365
00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:47.759
from Toscano and Chang. Thank you
guys for joining us back Now we have

366
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:55.480
a current situation that's developed in change
and it's very reminiscent of the scare that

367
00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:59.680
we had back in the early eighties
where we thought, and I was in

368
00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:02.799
element entry school back then, we
thought that we were going to go to

369
00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:07.920
war against Russia. You know,
remember that time when there was just all

370
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:11.200
this, all these rumors of wars
about talking to that we're literally Russia was

371
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:17.160
going to attack us. Well,
now there's something brewing Russia as far as

372
00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:18.839
what I've heard in the news.
You know, don't quote me on this,

373
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:26.240
but apparently they want to overthrow the
Ukrainian leadership or somebody who's pro putin

374
00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:30.759
in place of whoever it is now. The United States has warned Russia that

375
00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:34.519
if you do that, there's going
to be some real serious consequences. Russia

376
00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:38.880
sent a little over one hundred thousand
troops to the border, and apparently they're

377
00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:44.480
getting ready to invade Ukraine at any
time. What did the US do?

378
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:49.680
They started sending basically weapons to the
Ukraine to help them out, and they're

379
00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:53.480
on the verge of or they're getting
ready to send eight thousand troops from the

380
00:30:53.599 --> 00:30:56.799
US to send them there as well, to get ready to protect. But

381
00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:00.480
I mean, come on, the
Russians on their first move sent over one

382
00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:04.279
hundred thousand troops. We're gonna send
eight thousand troops. That's not a good

383
00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:07.559
thing. You know what, No, you know, we could take this

384
00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:11.960
back to the eighties, you know, with a fear we had back then,

385
00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:18.519
you know, with oh Man,
so many so much turmoil back in

386
00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:26.039
the eighties, with the Russian government, how they were trying to overthrow and

387
00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:30.079
you know, push forward with their
beliefs. They were going through their own

388
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:36.960
power struggle as they were going through
their own change of electing a new official,

389
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:41.960
which official was going to be better
we have the Reagan Bush era.

390
00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:48.000
Back then we had that great song
by Sting. You know, do the

391
00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:53.640
Russians love their children too? And
it's crazy how everything kind of repeats itself

392
00:31:55.079 --> 00:32:00.279
as we go through live decade to
decade. But some of these things,

393
00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:06.039
these evils and these fears, never
ever really seem to go away. They

394
00:32:06.119 --> 00:32:10.440
may mask themselves, but they never
go away. And here we are looking

395
00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:16.880
at something as devastating as this.
You know, another what I call a

396
00:32:16.920 --> 00:32:22.440
penis war between the leaders of the
entities of the world, you know,

397
00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:29.160
the powers of America, the powers
of China, Korea, Japan, Russia

398
00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:34.759
once again just trying to prove that
who is the most powerful, and they

399
00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:37.440
put so many of us at risk, right And this is not to say

400
00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:42.680
anything bad about the people in Russia. We love you guys that are in

401
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:45.799
Russia, and we love you guys
that are in Ukraine as well. We

402
00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:50.200
know that we have lots of listeners. It has things to people, but

403
00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:54.119
we just can't believe that what are
our own leaders are doing just to flex

404
00:32:54.160 --> 00:33:00.759
the muscle. Now I understand very
little you know of what's going on.

405
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:06.279
I try not to watch anymore news. It's bad enough with how serious life

406
00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:09.359
and the things that life throws at
you to be watching more bad news.

407
00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:14.880
But this development is something that we
all need to keep an eye on because

408
00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:19.319
thankfully it didn't result in much in
the eighties, but we're not in the

409
00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:22.640
eighties anymore, and who knows what's
going to happen. I'm just you know

410
00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:25.960
what, though, I am thankful
that we don't have somebody else in power

411
00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:30.839
that's crazy enough to just, you
know, let's just go ahead and threaten

412
00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:37.240
Russia. We'll see what happens.
We have global warming. People don't want

413
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:40.160
to acknowledge that. People want to
think that's so far as but if you

414
00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:47.440
look at the way weather structure is, we're getting rains that are devastating areas

415
00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:52.559
that never got rain. We're getting
snow in areas that didn't get snow.

416
00:33:52.599 --> 00:34:00.400
We're getting heat to high magnitudes where
it wasn't that hot, which is odd

417
00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:05.400
because part of the reason why we
have not been on air since before Christmas

418
00:34:05.640 --> 00:34:09.320
was due to weather. Or where
I reside and where you reside, you

419
00:34:09.400 --> 00:34:14.719
know, you know, I'm dedicated
to southern California, put a Los Angeles

420
00:34:14.760 --> 00:34:17.159
all the way. It's my hometown. But I don't live there anymore,

421
00:34:17.400 --> 00:34:22.480
and where I live, the effects
of global warming and the seasons have changed

422
00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:29.639
to where they're not being identified month
to month. In the same sequence,

423
00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:32.719
we had devastating weather out here,
and when it snows where I'm at,

424
00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:37.079
or I get high winds, high
rain, i can't get any signal,

425
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:43.800
so I'm pretty much cast out into
the forest, you know, along with

426
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:49.199
the COVID. So it's very reminiscent
of what we're going through, similar to

427
00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:53.440
some of the scenarios in the eighties, you know, with the crisises of

428
00:34:53.519 --> 00:35:00.440
the wars, possible wars, invasions, two of the big hours of the

429
00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:07.880
free world going up against each other, threatening to battle each other for one

430
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:13.280
entity to take over another entity.
I mean, it's ridiculous. We've lived

431
00:35:13.320 --> 00:35:15.239
through this before and it just gets
you sick and tired, and you just

432
00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:19.519
wish that people would learn to live
in peace. You know, you're talking

433
00:35:19.559 --> 00:35:24.119
about global warming. I've read an
article in the New York Times. This

434
00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:30.239
happened last year. But now there
is an iceberg. It's the size of

435
00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:35.920
Puerto Rico, and it broke off
the edge of Antarctica, the world's largest

436
00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:39.119
iceberg, and it's and I guess
this thing, this big old iceberg is

437
00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:44.280
melting into the ocean and apparently it's
going to start raising the levels. Do

438
00:35:44.320 --> 00:35:46.000
you read about that? You know
what, dude, I've been keeping my

439
00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:51.760
eye on this, and now it's
more so out in the mainstream of news.

440
00:35:51.840 --> 00:35:55.960
But this is something that I've been
watching, probably for the last couple

441
00:35:57.000 --> 00:36:01.800
of years that I've been aware of
this, and it has been happening inch

442
00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:07.679
by inch, But now as it's
at a level to where it's more noticeable

443
00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:14.400
and people are paying more attention,
this is scary. You know, I'm

444
00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:20.480
not going into being a religious leader
right now. I'm not a preacher.

445
00:36:21.159 --> 00:36:28.320
Everything that's going on in society is
a little bit scary. It's reminiscent of

446
00:36:28.360 --> 00:36:32.199
the Book of Revelations, the Mayan
Calendar. And the sad thing is we

447
00:36:32.280 --> 00:36:37.199
have created and allowed all this to
happen, just as we did in the

448
00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:42.559
eighties. But in the eighties it's
very similar to now. A lot of

449
00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:47.239
people played mute and faint and distance
and didn't want to pay attention to the

450
00:36:47.320 --> 00:36:53.559
real realities of the free world.
So now we went from the eighties to

451
00:36:53.639 --> 00:37:00.599
not paying attention to where it was
getting jacked up to now we're the generation

452
00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:06.360
of watching it actually be jacked up
and possibly be the end of us.

453
00:37:06.599 --> 00:37:10.400
You know, one of the things
that as an eighties lover and just someone

454
00:37:10.440 --> 00:37:17.079
who loves loves all his eighties memories, all those people that we recently have

455
00:37:17.199 --> 00:37:22.679
been losing from the entertainment business that
have been I mean, they're they're from

456
00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:28.360
before the eighties, but we grew
up watching these people on TV. About

457
00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:31.960
a week ago, we lost meat
Loaf and Bob and Bob Saggett Man,

458
00:37:32.239 --> 00:37:37.239
we're talking. This is a person
who was like America's dad back in the

459
00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:43.239
eighties as well, remember, Yeah, and one of the funniest, rankest,

460
00:37:43.280 --> 00:37:47.320
most craziest improv comics of his generation. You know, we did lose

461
00:37:47.400 --> 00:37:51.840
meat Loaf, But did you know
that in April of twenty twenty one,

462
00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:54.639
the composer and writer of meat Loaf's
Bat out of Hell, his name is

463
00:37:54.760 --> 00:38:00.679
Jim Steinman, he died. Really
I didn't all that. Yeah. Also,

464
00:38:00.039 --> 00:38:07.159
former Judas Priest drummer John Hinch died
April twenty nine, twenty twenty one.

465
00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:12.440
Yeah, I knew that. The
ever so lovely Towny Kittain. If

466
00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:16.960
you saw if you've seen Bachelor Party, the movie Bachelor Party, or some

467
00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:23.599
of the videos with White Snake.
Yeah, White Snake amazing. She died

468
00:38:23.679 --> 00:38:30.639
May seven, twenty twenty one.
Former skid Row singer Johnny Solinger died June

469
00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:34.920
twenty six, twenty twenty one.
Dusty Hill from zz Top he was the

470
00:38:34.960 --> 00:38:38.320
bassist. He died in July twenty
eight, twenty twenty one. And I

471
00:38:38.440 --> 00:38:43.800
mentioned a couple more, but Jeff
Lebar, he was the guitarist for Cinderella,

472
00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:50.840
died in July fourteenth, and the
keyboardist for Cinderella, Carry Corbett died

473
00:38:50.920 --> 00:38:54.840
July fourteenth as well. So it's
almost like the Great Spirit has a plan.

474
00:38:55.639 --> 00:39:00.320
Yeah, it's you know, like
there's a big concert going on there,

475
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:04.000
so he's got to make sure he's
get some get some more good ones

476
00:39:04.039 --> 00:39:08.440
down here before hell takes over and
burns us all to hell. Let's go

477
00:39:08.480 --> 00:39:15.599
on to talk to about something brighter
of the dot, bro and I wanted

478
00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:21.639
to talk about the differences in food
that we have that we used to get

479
00:39:21.639 --> 00:39:24.239
back then, and and maybe some
of the stores that we used to go

480
00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:29.679
to, but differences in food like
fast food places. You ever noticed that

481
00:39:30.119 --> 00:39:31.960
the food, let's take, for
example, the most popular one of all.

482
00:39:32.039 --> 00:39:39.039
Let's take McDonald's. Don't you remember
that McDonald's was gave you bigger,

483
00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:44.840
bigger food back then in the eighties, it was just bigger. I used

484
00:39:44.880 --> 00:39:47.880
to order a regular quarter pounder.
This is before they started making the double

485
00:39:47.960 --> 00:39:52.559
quarter pounders. You would order an
order pounder, fries and a drink,

486
00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:57.920
and you would be, I mean
absolutely stuffed. And we had a big

487
00:39:58.000 --> 00:40:02.360
hunger back then as teenagers because we
were burning calories like nuts. And now

488
00:40:04.280 --> 00:40:07.880
I mean my kids that are teenagers
and are in sports, they get this,

489
00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:10.440
uh once in a while, they'll
get that that quarter pound of combo

490
00:40:10.840 --> 00:40:15.440
a double and it's the size of
a little cheeseburger. Yeah. Yeah,

491
00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:20.320
you know what's funny. I was
just saying this to missus Chang. The

492
00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:22.480
other day we went to Taco Bell. We only went, you know,

493
00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:30.760
hunger quickness. Usually I don't like
to get my Mexican food from such a

494
00:40:30.760 --> 00:40:32.920
area or a place like that,
but we went over there and I remember

495
00:40:32.920 --> 00:40:37.920
I got I got a burrito Supreme
and this thing was like, no,

496
00:40:38.719 --> 00:40:45.880
my hand was bigger than the burrito
Supreme. And I remember back in the

497
00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:50.480
day, that thing used to extend
your fingertips in your palm. It used

498
00:40:50.480 --> 00:40:54.280
to be humongous. That burrito Supreme
was huge. The only thing supreme was

499
00:40:54.320 --> 00:40:58.280
the price they charged me. Yeah, have you done? I ordered one

500
00:40:58.320 --> 00:41:02.400
Burritos Dream that comes with the Taco
Supreme. It's like a combo. Okay,

501
00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:07.880
and the taco is bigger than the
burrito. Yeah, how does that

502
00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:12.960
work? Almost the same damn size. But there were stores that would definitely

503
00:41:13.039 --> 00:41:17.159
make things a lot better, and
fast food restaurants were some of those places,

504
00:41:17.239 --> 00:41:23.360
like Burger King. Who can forget
the taste of of Burger King back

505
00:41:23.360 --> 00:41:27.119
then? Do you remember that Burger
King actually used to have a salad bar

506
00:41:27.159 --> 00:41:29.760
inside. I don't know if you
remember this. Yeah, I remember that

507
00:41:30.079 --> 00:41:32.119
Pizza Hut used to have a salad
bar. That's when Pizza Hut used to

508
00:41:32.119 --> 00:41:36.480
make actually, really really good pizza. Yeah, pizza used to be pretty

509
00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:38.679
good. I remember pizza. So
was straw Hat. Oh my god,

510
00:41:38.800 --> 00:41:45.000
you just brought back something that I
had totally forgot. Straw Hat Pizza.

511
00:41:45.079 --> 00:41:46.199
Now. I know, if you're
not in the United States, you won't

512
00:41:46.239 --> 00:41:52.039
know what these were, but straw
Hat was one of the biggest chains of

513
00:41:52.159 --> 00:41:55.079
pizza, and they were really good. They competed against another chain, which

514
00:41:55.159 --> 00:42:00.480
was Shakey's Pizza. Remember them,
Oh yeah, Shakey's Baby shake These pizza

515
00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:05.519
were famous for it for serving pizza, fried chicken, and potato wedges.

516
00:42:05.679 --> 00:42:09.519
Try they had that what was it
that lunch special, bunch of lunch or

517
00:42:09.559 --> 00:42:15.280
something. Look at how many different
markets are not around anymore in comparison to

518
00:42:15.320 --> 00:42:20.559
what what the eighties had. We
had Lucky's market basket. We had a

519
00:42:21.239 --> 00:42:25.760
market basket. I forgot about market
basket. We have remember Safeway Safe Way?

520
00:42:25.840 --> 00:42:30.280
Yeah, dude, alpha beta,
alpha beta. That's super a very

521
00:42:30.360 --> 00:42:34.599
rarely do you see a super a
anymore? Yeah, I haven't seen one

522
00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:37.320
in many years. And I know
some parts of the country they're still safe

523
00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:40.840
Way. Here in California, at
least in southern California, we don't have

524
00:42:40.880 --> 00:42:45.840
safe ways anymore. And Lucky's those
were gone long time ago. Lucky's is

525
00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:50.639
long gone, my brother. You
can't even find a theater to walk in

526
00:42:50.719 --> 00:42:55.039
nowadays, where it was like the
old school theater just one movie, you

527
00:42:55.119 --> 00:42:59.559
know, you can go up into
a balcony and hang out and run around

528
00:42:59.559 --> 00:43:04.039
the big with the pillars and everything
to you. It's crazy because even movie

529
00:43:04.039 --> 00:43:07.440
theaters. They've lost a lot of
their flavor that they did, had the

530
00:43:07.519 --> 00:43:09.760
luster that they had, you know, I mean in the eighties, that's

531
00:43:09.760 --> 00:43:15.360
when these big monolith type of theaters
started coming out, you know, thirty

532
00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:19.639
theaters. But do you remember those
local theaters that just had one or two

533
00:43:19.719 --> 00:43:23.360
rooms and that's it, and you
would you would remember that one in Whittier,

534
00:43:23.400 --> 00:43:27.679
Uptown Whittier, that that was like
one of the last places. I

535
00:43:27.719 --> 00:43:30.239
think the earthquake took that bad boy
down. But that's still there, right,

536
00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:35.039
you know what, No, it's
not anymore. It's all kinds of

537
00:43:35.079 --> 00:43:39.639
different little I believe it is a
mechanic shop, maybe a furniture shop,

538
00:43:40.440 --> 00:43:45.159
little into tease like that. But
not even the structure itself is there anymore.

539
00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:50.159
The nostalgia of that block is gone. I remember back when the movie

540
00:43:50.199 --> 00:43:54.719
Aliens came out. Remember my cousin
took me to go see a Platoon and

541
00:43:54.760 --> 00:43:59.000
then we jumped from one theater to
the next. There's only two movie theaters

542
00:43:59.000 --> 00:44:01.360
in there, and we sub Platoon
and then we went to go see Aliens

543
00:44:01.679 --> 00:44:05.000
for a while. They're back in
the eighties, man, they were heavy

544
00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:07.480
on war movies. Oh yeah,
yeah, Well, as a matter of

545
00:44:07.519 --> 00:44:10.639
fact, we do the best war
movies. We're back, We're from then.

546
00:44:10.679 --> 00:44:15.079
You know they had full Metal Jacket, Platoon, Hamburger Hill Hamburger.

547
00:44:15.159 --> 00:44:19.119
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. That's right now. We're heavy on

548
00:44:19.199 --> 00:44:22.440
war. Yeah, America thrives on
war and killing. Unfortunately amazing, but

549
00:44:22.559 --> 00:44:30.079
yeah we we we proclaimed we are
of equality and freedom and peace. You
