that Louis the Wrench here talking to
you from back to the eighties. Uh.

4
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:23.559
That one almost got away from me. I'm glad he didn't because he

5
00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:26.879
knows what would have been coming to
him. Oh he already did. Anyway.

6
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:30.280
The point is, uh, I
want to welcome us all to back

7
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:32.799
to the eighties. Like I said, my name is Louis the Wrench.

8
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:36.000
I got my partner in crime,
I mean, my business partner right next

9
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.759
to me. Are you doing here? You're doing everybody that's rights ny the

10
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:42.719
luckles. It's line forty two in
the morning. All the hell are you

11
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:47.719
doing? Over the New York City, Los Angeles, the Riverside, Sawado

12
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:53.200
Lord in California, whoeverever, the
freaking egg you're from. Welcome to the

13
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:58.719
Wrench in the knuckles showy we like
to Hey, no, that sound right

14
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:03.759
there, that's what Milli Vanilli.
Blame it on the rain. Hey,

15
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:06.519
by the way, I don't know
if you knew this, but Milli Vanilli,

16
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:08.560
let's give each man what they're doing. I'm gonna tell you something Milli

17
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.439
Vanilli, they're really Italian? Did
you notice? You know what? I

18
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:15.760
could tell that, but a little
bit by the way that they had that

19
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:21.519
monotone in the way they say blame
it on the rain so much like the

20
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:25.040
delay grain breaks. Couldn't have said
it better. You know what I'm playing

21
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.680
ranch Oh. I can tell you, guys, is anybody who can blame

22
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:32.760
the rain has got to be Italian. We find everything to blame it on

23
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:36.280
somebody else. We blame on my
grandmother. My grandfather used to blame it

24
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:41.159
on the cat, the dog,
on the wind MILLI Vanilli did his justice.

25
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:44.799
They're blaming everything on the rain.
I gotta tell you this. Listening

26
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:47.719
to Milli Vanilli, really, you
know, brings a little smile to my

27
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:49.280
heart right here, right here,
deep inside of my heart. It's kind

28
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.280
of like smelling my old grandmother's Marinara
sauce that he used to make back in

29
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.560
the day over there in Bensonhurst.
You know, one of the best things

30
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:01.319
that I miss about the eighties,
what's that with big trunks? You can

31
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:05.599
fit all kinds of luggage in there, if you know what I mean big

32
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:08.520
trunks. They remind me of that
all big good girl with all kinds of

33
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:13.159
junk. You know what, I'm
slaying a nice hot body, a nice

34
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.560
and you know you like you want
to chrome chassis. I was kind of

35
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:21.719
talking more about like an LTD or
something like that. I'd like the LTD.

36
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:23.080
But you know what, you can't
beat the Catillac here. What are

37
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.759
you talking about? The Catillac?
But what you gotta gets a catileac.

38
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:29.560
You can fit about six and a
half bodies. I mean six and a

39
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:32.800
half pieces of luggage. That's ripe
potatoes. You you you could take potatoes

40
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:36.960
salad by the tone to a party. I'll tell you what. I got

41
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:38.400
some good news for you. Why
don't we go back? You know what,

42
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:43.000
let's go back to the eighties with
those two boneheads Scano and Chang.

43
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.400
I don't understand those guys. You
know. One guy looks like what that

44
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:52.520
actual rolls whatever they call it.
Another guy can't tell us if he's Middle

45
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:54.439
Eastern or Italian. I don't know. But let's go back to the eighty

you put the fear of God in
you. Oh yeah, them in their

57
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:13.639
chrome suits. You know what,
there's nothing like a fine chrome suit,

58
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:16.480
is it? Not right? I'm
sure you grew up watching your dad move

59
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:20.600
about in chrome suit? Did I
did? Your dad was quite the elegant

60
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:26.240
Italian. Yeah, you know my
uncle's they actually owned Valentino suits and stuff,

61
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:30.040
and my dad he wasn't as as
lucky as they were, so he

62
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:34.600
looked for Valentino suits at Zodis.
Okay, you're not gonna get them there,

63
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:39.839
and fedko. No, my dad
was all about wearing the same gray

64
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:45.480
slacks with just a blue navy blue
coat. That was him all the time.

65
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:49.600
Oh man, my own nun used
to dress like scarface nights. No,

66
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:53.639
my dad used to. This was
back in the eighties. My dad

67
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:56.639
used to. Uh. He used
to have a friend who used to make

68
00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.399
all kinds of pins, the kind
that you stick on like shirts and on

69
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.000
your coats. So he got a
little plane pin and he stuck it to

70
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:06.319
his coat and he goes, Mario, I'm gonna tell you something. You

71
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:10.199
want to come to the airport.
You got the best food. I'm gonna

72
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:13.160
show you how you get into the
airport. Now you don't have to pay

73
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:15.519
parking. They think you're a pilot. Check this out. And he used

74
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.160
to he used to take me and
he used to go with a suit and

75
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:23.360
tie and the little plane that he
looked like a I don't know, maybe

76
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:28.040
an executive that worked at control tower
or whatever. And they used to let

77
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:30.920
us go in. Couldn't happen now, Dad, could never happen now,

78
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:34.240

night and you meet a group of
raccoons, and it's like you're in the

111
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:50.920
So last week, so listen,
last week we were talking about,

112
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:55.639
well, we started talking about malls
of different stores that they have in malls

113
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.199
So now as we get into our
mental time machine and we head back to

114
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:03.600
the eighties and we continue talking about
malls and fashion. So let's start with

115
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:07.680
fashion and we'll go one on one
if you want. But was there any

116
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:13.519
is there anything in fashion that came
out that you just that you liked,

117
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:15.720
not that you hated, because there's
a lot of stuff that we can say,

118
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.439
yeah, we hated about the fashion
in the eighties, But is there

119
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:20.959
anything in the fashion that you like
anything at all? Yes? Brother,

120
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:26.879
I used to like to get myself
draw string pants and I used to oh

121
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:30.120
yes, And I used to like
to get the pool over with a hood

122
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:35.840
with the lace kind of strap area
right here to where if you don't lace

123
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.600
it up and put a bolt,
you can see your masculine chest, some

124
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:45.679
of your eighties jewelry swinging, maybe
a couple of hairs that you might have

125
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:52.799
had your hair, if you had
hair of the gods like myself, your

126
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:58.200
hair could get caught in those strings
and bring on a sexual desire like candy

127
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:01.240
to some women. Are you following
me? I'm trying not to, so

128
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:03.759
I don't picture it because then I
can't get it out of my head.

129
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:07.200
I know you're thinking Fabio, and
I really really want to thank you because

130
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:13.480
I envisioned my sexiness, that sexiness
any long haired guy that wore those type

131
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:18.039
of shirts. We were We brought
sexy back before JT. If you know

132
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:20.039
what I'm talking about, Tostado,
you know what I'm saying, you know,

133
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:24.879
speaking of Fabio. Yeah, in
a little while, we have two

134
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:30.159
special guests that are coming on the
show because we have a special episode of

135
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:35.159
the Love Hate Laws today. The
Fine Doctors, the Fine Doctors will be

136
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.639
here. We'll be able to be
you know, to step out for a

137
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:41.320
second and they'll be here. Love
those guys discuss your love hate letters.

138
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:46.039
You know what, the world needs
more of the fine Doctors, don't you

139
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:48.960
think so? Because I think some
of us go through a time in our

140
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.679
lives, Tusky where we're either in
love or in hate with another individual,

141
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:58.159
and we need someone to guide us
through the os and downs of the emotion.

142
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:03.519
Yeah, I think we live in
an era where there's a lot to

143
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:09.840
talk about. Now back to the
topic of malls. Let me what was

144
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:16.399
your most favorable fashion or outfit in
the eighties. I just gave you mine,

145
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:22.399
kind of the martial ard type pullover
shirt, kind of like David Lee

146
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.679
Roth wore in the jacket of the
vand Haleen album. If you can relate

147
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:30.519
to me anybody out there, I
can't. I can't. Actually, my

148
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:35.480
favorite fashion of the eighties was leather
jack Oh. Remember they were really big

149
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:41.639
in the eighties. Leather jackets were
really really popular. And any fashionable leather

150
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:46.600
jacket, if you remember, Bro, any ensemble of leather jacket wearing back

151
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:52.120
in the eighties was pretty cool,
you know yeah, and kids looked up

152
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:56.000
to you. I mean if you
had a leather jacket, whatever style,

153
00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:00.200
it didn't matter if it was a
rocker jacket, you know that, don't

154
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.320
matter what jacket. If they knew
it was leather, you were looked at

155
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:07.759
like, Wow, this guy can
This guy's a badass, That's what it

156
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.039
was. Looking at. This guy's
either you know what. And even when

157
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:16.519
the gay Fonzie leather jacket came out
in the seventies, you had that jacket

158
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:22.279
in the eighties, you were doing
you have you you have one? You

159
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:26.120
have I don't, Bro, you
know what? You know? I used

160
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:31.159
to you said, now. Uh. One time when I was attending Saint

161
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:35.919
Benedicts, we had a teacher and
his name was mister Naso. Now this

162
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:41.240
guy used to support a Fonzie jacket. But this guy had no control.

163
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:46.759
This guy had no authoritative bone or
nerve ending in his body. And we

164
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:54.960
random man to the ground. We
literally made this man personally shake you make

165
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:58.480
him cry. I think if I
don't recall, but I think maybe at

166
00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:03.600
home or car he whimpered. We
were ruthless. As a matter of fact,

167
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:07.120
we were so ruthless at Saint Benedict. Hopefully some of my Saint Benedict

168
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:11.120
brothers and sisters will will chime in
and testify to this story. But we

169
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:16.279
were really ruthless. And this was
probably nineteen seventy nine, seventy eight.

170
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.360
Yeah, yeah, you know what
I mean. He used to support a

171
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:24.559
Fanzie jacket and his jacket was cool. Now, when he first opened up

172
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.600
class, we thought he was cool. He had the Funzie jacket, his

173
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:33.360
hair was combed back, he had
cool like uh you know, the black

174
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:39.559
Horn Room, sunglasses like Buddy like
Buddy Holly. You know, he looked

175
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:41.440
like he was gonna be a cool
cat. But man, did we break

176
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:45.759
that dude down. Bro Back anyway, back to the mall anytime was a

177
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.240
leather jacket. Was cool. But
you know me, brother, I still

178
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:52.879
sport the leather, you know that. Yeah, I actually still have a

179
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:56.159
couple other jackets, and I'll wear
him once in a while. It just

180
00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:58.639
doesn't get cold enough here in southern
California too to wear him, because you

181
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:03.759
know, now that we're older,
it's less a looking cool thing and more

182
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:07.320
of a keeping warm. But it
just doesn't get too cold. No,

183
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:09.840
let me ask you this. Let
me let me let me run your mind

184
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:15.840
back to this. And you beautiful
listeners who all all all out there own

185
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:22.000
a member's only leather jacket? Did
they make leather jacket? I think they

186
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:26.679
did. I kind of think they
did. No, my dad, I

187
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:31.440
used to call him the King of
members only. Really, your dad had

188
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:35.440
what every color, almost every color
except for yellow. You know what,

189
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:39.399
I'm even thinking. I think he
had a yellow one, you know what.

190
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:43.200
The only color he didn't have was
pink. Remember they came out with

191
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:46.799
a pink members only jacket for men. No, I don't remember that.

192
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:50.879
I remember. I remember that kind
of creamy mustard yellow. But yeah,

193
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:56.360
he had a bright yellow. He
had gray, which is the one he

194
00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:01.679
wore most of the time. Light
gray, black blue, and burgundy.

195
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:07.519
It was like a burgundy wow wow. But yeah, yeah, members only.

196
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:11.080
You know what the funny thing is
that never saw a members only store,

197
00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:13.639
you know, within name. I
think it was just one of the

198
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:18.159
brands that lots of stores used to
sell them. Well that's because it was

199
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:22.080
only members only. Bro it was
very probably maybe that's why my dad used

200
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:24.759
to buy them at Fedco at that
time. Hey, I ain't going to

201
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:26.440
Fedcoe. I got this members only, but don't tell anybody because you know

202
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:30.639
it's up and up. It's only
for members, so it's members only.

203
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:35.360
Talking about malls, let's get together
and name our top three malls that we've

204
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:41.120
ever been to. Yes, my
top three malls. I want to say

205
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:46.399
my number one favorite mall when I
was a kid was Currito's Mall. Number

206
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:50.480
two was probably Lakewood Mall and just
because you know, we're in that same

207
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:58.000
kind of vicinity. And number three
probably Stonewood Center in in Downey, although

208
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.120
Stonewood Center was probably my least Oh
no, no, no, no,

209
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:03.879
no, I take that back.
My number one favorite mall was the Brea

210
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:11.159
Mall. The number two was yeah, number two was Cerritos and yeah,

211
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:16.480
number three was Lakewood And the reason
I really enjoyed those malls. Was there

212
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:20.080
was so many things. First of
all, the Brea Mall is has always

213
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:22.759
been pretty big. But back in
the eighties, the Brea Mall had an

214
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:26.759
ice skating ring. Did you ever
go there? You know what? No,

215
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:30.480
I remember, I remember seeing it, but I didn't actually go in.

216
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:35.600
I was not of the ice skating
likeness, you know what I mean.

217
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:41.799
I saw a lot of rockers hitting
that ice, but I was I

218
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:45.879
was one of the guys or one
of the kids at the time that would

219
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:48.879
love going ice skating. But I
could never really ice skate really good,

220
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:52.759
but I could roller skates, So
ice skating to me was just fun and

221
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:56.399
going to the Brea Mall was just
one of those things that was so great.

222
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:00.720
And number two, of course I
did like going to Crito's Mall and

223
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:03.960
Linkwind Mall because of the theaters that
they had. Yeah, yeah, I

224
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:07.240
agree with you on those. Yeah, yes, I agree with you on

225
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:12.120
both those. To me, uh
uh, some of the Finder malls to

226
00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:18.639
me are the ones that had entertainment
in them or whether that be of course

227
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:25.559
a theater, a music store,
un arcade and arcade heck, restaurants,

228
00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:27.559
you know what. I used to
enjoy going into every now and then two

229
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:33.679
roll toy stores in the mall.
That is a find that missed today.

230
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:40.639
They used to have what k K
to dude? What was interesting to me

231
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:45.960
that toys in in the mall toy
stores used to be double the price than

232
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:48.639
any other toy store outside. Yes, but the toys were worth it.

233
00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:55.240
Just just to take that bag home, to see that uh little sticker on

234
00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:56.799
that present when you give it to
them, you know what I mean?

235
00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:00.840
Uh, yeah, that you got
your toy from the mall. That was

236
00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:03.559
awesome. Yeah, dude, you
know, I mean it was like,

237
00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:06.720
wow, man, you know your
parents went over there to dead toy.

238
00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:10.319
Wow, Santa must like him.
Santa. There is no Santa. I'm

239
00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:14.160
Santa. If there was a real
Santa, he'd be paying up my visa

240
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:22.400
kingo Santa. That's funny, man. Yeah, I mean toy stores,

241
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:26.160
Um were one of those places I
used to love, uh, going to

242
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:32.759
the merry go rounds at malls.
Well yeah, well you're talking back when

243
00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:37.240
we were young children. Then yeah, we're talking one. If you tell

244
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:41.079
me right now that you went into
a mall in the eighties when you were

245
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:44.079
a teenager for a merry go round. No, no, I'm talking.

246
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:47.640
I was younger. I would say
one of two things. Either you're a

247
00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:53.519
sisty kid or you were loaded.
Bro. Well you gotta think. See,

248
00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:57.559
I was born in seventy two,
right, so man, by nineteen

249
00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:02.039
eighty, you know that goes.
I was a little kid, you were

250
00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:06.480
probably playing with like the little plastic
Gi Joes as opposed to I was playing

251
00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:12.559
with the real Gi Joes that were
twelve inches tall. Kung fru grip no

252
00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:17.480
no no. I played with the
smaller action figures. I played with the

253
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:22.119
smaller action figures. But it was
just such a fun time because we got

254
00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:23.920
the opportunity to collect. And that
was one of the collections that I did

255
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:27.480
have g I. Joe, not
the whole collection, but it was just

256
00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:32.359
so fun to go to toy stores. Now, I did go to toy

257
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:37.519
stores and look for those special edition
little characters. For example, I used

258
00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:41.079
to collect Star Wars a lot.
Oh yeah, And sometimes you couldn't find

259
00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:45.599
a particular toy at Toys or Rust
or wherever the toy store it is that

260
00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:48.359
we went when I was a kid, and so my dad used to take

261
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:52.240
me to the store inside the mall, the toy store because you can find

262
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:56.039
sometimes special editions, but it was
like double the cost, yes, exactly,

263
00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:00.440
and then sometimes you can go get
other figures for the price of one.

264
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:04.720
So yeah, you know, I
used to hate having to do stuff

265
00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:08.240
like that and go look through there
for figures because you would see the stucky

266
00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:11.759
figure, like fifty of them,
and then the figures you want are all

267
00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:15.880
gone. You're like, I already
got the stuck. Yeah, hey,

268
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:18.279
yeah, and you're you're moving there. You're moving one figure, two figures,

269
00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:22.079
three figures, you're moving them all
and you're looking behind every single little

270
00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:26.559
little area to find out if it's
maybe hiding there. Yes, you know

271
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:30.000
what I used to deal with that, bro, when I was into a

272
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:33.480
Hot Wheels vehicle, you know,
trying to find a certain models that I

273
00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:38.119
wanted, the year, the color. You know, you just get totally

274
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:42.079
grapped into your toys when you're you
know, when you're back in the eighties,

275
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:45.640
Dr Bro. You know you said
hot Wheels. I used to call

276
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:49.480
that hot Wheels as well. And
there was a special edition little hot Wheel

277
00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:55.240
set where they started making the little
cars with rubber tires. Do you remember

278
00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:57.240
these? Yes, I think that
was a breakthrough. I love man,

279
00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:03.799
I have as a matter of fact, have I have maybe ten of those

280
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:08.680
hotee? I have none. I
have none my mom. It turns out,

281
00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:12.839
okay, So I had every every
character of the collection of Star Wars,

282
00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:18.720
every you know, the entire Hot
Wheels collection, you know, with

283
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:22.599
the cases and everything. And as
I grew up, I moved. Now,

284
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:26.720
I moved for a while when I
was this was like an eighty seven.

285
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:30.319
I moved for about four to six
months out of the country. I

286
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.559
won't say why, but I had
to move out of the right. So

287
00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:37.039
and when I came back, I
found out my mom had given all my

288
00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:41.440
toys away. Oh wow, man, And I mean I was already a

289
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:44.640
team. But still, you know, if I would have kept the at

290
00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:47.400
least the Star Wars figures, those
Star Wars figures today you can sell them

291
00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:48.640
on e Bay for a lot of
them. Oh yeah, we'll get this

292
00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:52.160
now. You know, we're doing
back to the eighties. But I used

293
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:56.039
to play with the original Gi Joe, you know, like I was talking

294
00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:00.119
about, these things were creating I
think maybe the late fifties and after they

295
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:04.200
were the twelve inch figurines, you
know what I mean, where they came

296
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:10.200
with everything vehicles, weapons to change
of clothing. They had a scar on

297
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:17.839
their face, lifelike hair. They
came with sharks and gorillas and other types

298
00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:22.079
of animals that they had to fight. Serbaris the party stuff. Now trip

299
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:26.279
on this. I remember when I
turned fifteen, my mother had a huge

300
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:30.279
yard sale and I sold all my
figurines. Dude, I must have had

301
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:34.759
maybe thirty of these figures. You
would have kept them a millionaire maybe today

302
00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:40.160
exactly Some of these figures that I
have, and I had whole collections,

303
00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:45.720
are with ten twenty thousand dollars,
you know, of these action figures,

304
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:49.720
dude, that I held to deer
to my heart, I had Gijoe figures

305
00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:55.680
where I blew the hands off with
firecrackers because me and my buddy would get

306
00:21:55.759 --> 00:21:59.720
into so much debt, well actually
my two buddies would get into so much

307
00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:04.160
detail, having g I Joe wars
on the side of each of our houses

308
00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:08.680
to where we would dig tunnels for
these figures to crawl in. We would

309
00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:15.160
we would make cuts out of branches
and tree limbs. We'd cut them and

310
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:19.400
we would just go crazy. And
then we finally started making actual bombs with

311
00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:23.640
fireworks, and that's what our parents
pretty much beat the crap out of us

312
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:29.559
and told us that the gio missions
are over. You know, but isn't

313
00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:33.319
an amazing of how things have come
along? And if we if we would

314
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:37.759
have only known, we wouldn't have
gotten rid of so many of the things.

315
00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:42.359
Now besides toy stores, what are
some of the stores besides arcades and

316
00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:48.880
the movie theaters and you know,
places like Miller's Outposts. That was obviously

317
00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:52.880
one of the places where we used
to go a lot because they had the

318
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:56.880
Levi's. But any other place in
the mall that you say you would hang

319
00:22:56.960 --> 00:22:59.839
around. Let me tell you.
My dad used to love going to the

320
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.559
tobacco shop in malls. Do you
remember malls used to have tobacco shops.

321
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:07.079
Yes, my dad there was a
period in his life. Now, he

322
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:11.319
wasn't a real heavy smoker, but
once in a while he'd buy tobacco for

323
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:15.359
a pipe. He used. I
would tell him, smoke a pipe,

324
00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:18.799
smoke a pipe, and he would
just go, Okay, let's go buy

325
00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:26.960
a pipe and some tobacco. And
I'm doing that right. If they only

326
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:30.599
knew. Oh, but do you
remember those tobacco shops? Oh, dude,

327
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:33.880
I used to love going to tobacco
shops to see the types of pipes

328
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:38.720
that they had. They had a
certain type of pipe. I forget what

329
00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:47.480
it was a very expensive material and
they would intrically cut into these animal shapes,

330
00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:51.200
so you had tiger heads, got
head, Oh, I've seen those,

331
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:56.160
Yes, the very expensive heads.
I forgot the material that they used

332
00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:59.359
to make it out him. I
think it's some type of a bone or

333
00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:03.559
a china. I believe they used
to make them like out of ivory,

334
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:06.359
and they became illegal, you know. I wanted to say that, but

335
00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:08.119
I didn't know if I would step
on any toes or be you know,

336
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:11.079
inforrect but I believed or well,
we didn't do it. You know,

337
00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:15.480
we didn't do it. But when
you smoked in those things, they would

338
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:18.359
turn a different color. And that's
why a lot of people bombed them.

339
00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:26.880
So I was into the I was
always into the style of pipes and how

340
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:30.400
they looked, how they would handle. I would like to test pipes out,

341
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:33.039
and I ain't gonna I'm not gonna
lie. I never smoked tobacco a

342
00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:37.160
day in my life, you know
this, But I bought I bought many

343
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:41.400
of pipes and tobacco shops in the
eighties with my fake ID and I would

344
00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:45.119
use them for other things. But
that was a shop that I used to

345
00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:48.559
just I used to just. I
would lose time in those things, because

346
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:53.519
once you buy a pipe, you
can smoke anything. Yeah. Nice.

347
00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:57.640
Do you remember that next to this
was almost at every single mall that I

348
00:24:57.759 --> 00:25:00.960
remember, right next to the tobacco
shop, literally like next to it.

349
00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:03.559
I don't know if it was the
same owner, but they had a blade

350
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:08.039
shop, like knives and swords.
Do you remember that? Oh? Yes,

351
00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:12.319
I remember that every mall, Yes, every mall had so they had

352
00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:18.119
the tobacco shop and next to the
tobacco shop, literally next door was the

353
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:23.119
blade shop. And now do you
remember back in the eighties, brother,

354
00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:27.240
when you would look into NiFe cases, that's when the butterfly knife was being

355
00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:33.400
sold. Yeah. I actually was
able to get a butterfly knife back in

356
00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:37.720
the eighties and some ninja stars.
Yes, back then, when they sold

357
00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:41.240
them, they were behind the counter. They were not considered to be illegal.

358
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:47.480
But then again, nobody was shooting
up schools and stabbing people like crazy

359
00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:51.279
in schools and junior high and stuff
like that. Nobody was taking knives.

360
00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:56.640
No, very often, you didn't
do that in school where I come from.

361
00:25:56.680 --> 00:26:00.400
You do that away from school?
No, I'm just like, ah,

362
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:04.039
right, But I remember going in
there, dude, and you would

363
00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:08.960
buy the cameraite swards. Remember,
Yes, you could buy different type of

364
00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:12.400
axes. I don't know if you
are you're familiar with Yeah, I remember

365
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:17.759
if they used to have axes.
They had shields like yeah, the Knights,

366
00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:21.440
Knights of the round Table. They
had the big ball and chain,

367
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:23.880
the ball with spikes, you remember
that. And but they were I don't

368
00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:29.519
know if they were just they weren't
fake. They were real metal and people

369
00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:33.599
actually used to buy this stuff.
Right. Do you remember the Night brand

370
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:37.920
Buck, which back in the eighties
was the top of the line of bucks.

371
00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:41.160
Yeah, I get this. I
was very much into my Buck.

372
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:45.079
Knight was the anybody out there listening
that knew me probably would not this.

373
00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:49.279
I had every Buck knife model and
the axe that Buck put out in the

374
00:26:49.400 --> 00:26:55.119
eighties. Oh so you were really
word Oh yeah, dude, hardcore,

375
00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:57.559
you were hardcore bucked. I see. As a matter of fact, I

376
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:02.200
still have my Buck ax some one
of my Buck nine, several of my

377
00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:07.160
buck nis. My uh, the
first woman that stole my heart, that

378
00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:11.640
gave me a child took most of
my buckwear, and who knows what she

379
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:14.759
did with it, probably about dope
do with it. I don't know.

380
00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:18.799
It's a good thing my kid's not
listening because she wouldn't appreciate that. But

381
00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:22.599
well, um, what other stories
that you remember? What about those candy

382
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:27.400
shops? Do you remember the candy
shops inside the mas No, we'll get

383
00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:30.079
this, Okay, we'll go back
to the candy shop. You're gonna find

384
00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:33.759
this shocking. I used to like
to go to Hallmark and buy pens.

385
00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:42.279
Oh my goodness, yes, Shaeffer, Yes that was it. Dude.

386
00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:45.240
If there wasn't one of three,
I don't want to use it. I'm

387
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:48.599
not gonna I'm not gonna write out
no homework. I'm not gonna fight nothing

388
00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:53.880
unless I had a Parker, a
papermade or a Shaffer. Now Shaffer was

389
00:27:55.000 --> 00:28:00.200
the ink pin with that old school
knee long ye where you have to for

390
00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:03.200
the ink pallets in there or you
actually dip it in the ink. Yeah.

391
00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:07.799
There the ones that also made pens
in different like gold and silver,

392
00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:12.240
and they Yeah, that's what I'm
talking about. The Parker collection. Parker

393
00:28:12.319 --> 00:28:15.559
had the gold plated, the bronze
plated, the silver plated, the chrome

394
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:23.079
plated, and the multi colored plastic
type pins, which also, if you

395
00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:30.000
were lucky, you could buy interchangeable
ink cartridges with different colors. That's how

396
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:33.680
hardcore. I was brother with pins
to me a paper mate, the plastic

397
00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:36.799
paper mate. Get rid of this. This is a step up a bit.

398
00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:41.160
The ink doesn't flow, it skips. That's trash. I want the

399
00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:48.519
all metal paper meat, thin to
the touch of a thin, fine ink

400
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:55.240
cartridge where the ink just flows through
beautifully. Let's take a quick break.

401
00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:59.799
When't we come back? We got
more in store of malls, fashioned,

419
00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:52.920
deep in Burbank now, Doctor,
I love coming to visit Tascano and Chang

and that adds to their beautiful character. Absolutely. Oh. As a matter

424
00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:18.400
of fact, I am drinking Joke
Cola and I want to thank the great

425
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:27.359
bottlers of joke cola and unnamed whiskey

426
00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:32.000
Well, now, doctor, would
you like would you like to take the

427
00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:37.599
floor and start off with your letter? Absolutely? Today we have letter from

428
00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:48.039
Denise going out to blame hi,
Denise and my Blaine. And Denise writes

429
00:31:49.039 --> 00:31:55.119
and says, here are a few
reasons why I'm dumping you, Blaine.

430
00:31:56.440 --> 00:32:00.920
She says, Reason number one because
you think Predator two was better than the

431
00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:08.559
original. What a moral? Reason
Number two because you refer to your cockatoo

432
00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:17.000
as your baby. Reason number three
because you eat your cereal with water instead

433
00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:24.319
of milk. So gross. That
is the making of a sixth. Reason

434
00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:32.759
number four because you can name all
those dudes in the y MCA videos in

435
00:32:32.920 --> 00:32:37.599
the eighties, I have no problem
with that, what a witch? And

436
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:45.359
number five because you have won too
many posters of Michael Phelps in a speedo.

437
00:32:46.440 --> 00:32:52.240
Oh I love Michael, I love
Michael. You know what in honor

438
00:32:52.319 --> 00:33:04.880
of Michael, m doctor? I
hate when my lighter doesn't work. Oh,

439
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:07.920
I hate when other things don't work
as well, they don't flick on.

440
00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:15.240
I can't tell you this, Denise, you've taken the time to write

441
00:33:15.319 --> 00:33:22.000
us here at the doctor's end.
And apparently you want some advice of what

442
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:24.960
to do, and that's what we're
here for. We're here to give you

443
00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:32.559
the best advice possible for your situation. Now, Denise and Blaine, it's

444
00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:37.680
just so sad to hear of what's
going on in your relationship or in your

445
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:45.119
case, Blaine, no relationship.
But I can tell you this, Blaine,

446
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:51.359
there's only one thing I can tell
you. Move on. She's no

447
00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:57.039
good for you. Anytime they break
up with you through a letter. You

448
00:33:57.240 --> 00:34:00.240
got to move on now, Blaine, this is doctor Sweets. My best

449
00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:07.559
advice to you is to pursue prostitution. Again, it's a better way.

450
00:34:07.760 --> 00:34:15.239
It's a self gratification is not the
way. It's cheaper. Just to go

451
00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:19.199
ahead and deal with it and do
it. And it's always great to have

452
00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:25.840
an nostalgic romper in diversity. And
and Denise, if you could send the

453
00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:34.559
doctors a small photo of you possibly
wearing a some matching underwear and if you're

454
00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:37.880
hot and you know what you you
should just go out and sleep around.

455
00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:45.000
If you're young and free, then
then be you and do it for the

456
00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:49.920
fine doctor and me. That's all
I have to say to tell you something,

457
00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:52.320
and this I want you to keep
for the rest of your life.

458
00:34:52.760 --> 00:35:00.199
Our number here is nine nine five
seven two one two one two. Keep

459
00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:05.519
that number for the rest of your
life. I'm expecting your call. Doctor.

460
00:35:05.639 --> 00:35:08.320
Do you have a love or hate
letter today? Well, doctor,

461
00:35:08.440 --> 00:35:15.800
I have a very trying hate letter
this evening. This is a letter that

462
00:35:17.119 --> 00:35:24.840
it states as this, Dear Braxton, Braxton kind of like Tony. I'm

463
00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:30.719
writing you this letter because after being
in a relationship with you for the last

464
00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:37.639
sixth month has taught me several things. Alcohol is not good for breakfast.

465
00:35:38.599 --> 00:35:45.039
No. I've also learned that one
night stands should only be one night dad,

466
00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:50.320
unless you make it twice in a
row. You keep saying mommy when

467
00:35:50.360 --> 00:35:58.800
you're orgasmine. Your breath smells like
my pit bulls scroll them. And I'm

468
00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:04.599
just tired of having a wake up
and see you and wonder when you're leaving,

469
00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:08.800
and hoping that I could change my
locks. But usually the super jack

470
00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:14.880
can never get to it because he's
always busy in his custodian closet. But

471
00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:20.119
that's another story. I just want
you to move on and get lost,

472
00:36:20.719 --> 00:36:23.920
and I hope that your siblings are
not as vile and disgusting as yourself,

473
00:36:24.440 --> 00:36:30.400
So they inflict as much pain and
hurt and sorrow to my eyes that you

474
00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:37.719
have been. And remember, k
I see a real soon love. Not

475
00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:43.760
that wow wow Now now that I
think is a cut to the chase,

476
00:36:44.920 --> 00:36:49.519
very harsh hate letter, doctor,
And I said, I was really moved

477
00:36:49.639 --> 00:36:58.480
by her honesty, her courageous and
boldness to attack and desecrate this poor young

478
00:36:58.639 --> 00:37:06.199
man for his miserable acts of sexual
predatory. What do you think, Falter?

479
00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:08.880
I think lots of things can happen
when you're a beginner in life.

480
00:37:10.800 --> 00:37:15.440
And we all remember how we used
to be, like you know, at

481
00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:20.079
one point, especially I remember when
I will go back in time and I

482
00:37:20.199 --> 00:37:28.480
remember watching episodes of Romper Room.
Anyway, back to what I'm sorry.

483
00:37:28.559 --> 00:37:35.280
Her name is Braxton, Yes,
Braxton. I want to recommend that that

484
00:37:35.480 --> 00:37:39.840
you take to melatonin. To melatonin, because melatonin is good for you.

485
00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:45.719
It will make you go to sleep
a little bit earlier. It will provide

486
00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:52.400
you nice lucid dreams and the opportunity
for you to open up your mind and

487
00:37:52.599 --> 00:38:01.880
just think of brighter tomorrows. Braxton, your name's just like Tony Braxton,

488
00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:13.800
and if you look like to give
us a call at five, that's that's

489
00:38:13.800 --> 00:38:16.239
all the time we have. Do
you want to give Braxton some advice?

490
00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:23.360
I suggest you double dose on the
malotonin, possibly get your legalization for marijuana

491
00:38:23.480 --> 00:38:30.519
intake. I think you need to
buy stock and Jack Daniels, you need

492
00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:35.719
to buy some sexual devices made of
plastic, and you need just to remember

493
00:38:35.760 --> 00:38:39.159
to be a good person and enjoy
it, but just stay away from relationships

494
00:38:39.199 --> 00:38:45.119
because obviously you're not that good at
its sweets. No, no, we

495
00:38:45.239 --> 00:38:49.119
want to thank the boys at Back
to the eighties and I'm doctor Sweet.

496
00:38:49.239 --> 00:38:52.679
I will see you again real soon. Remember to keep those love hate letters

497
00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:58.400
coming in. And if you want
to send photos, we really really appreciate

498
00:38:58.440 --> 00:39:00.519
it. That way, we could
put them on our stage wall so we

499
00:39:00.719 --> 00:39:06.639
can show some of the beautiful faces
or hateful faces that we have help here

500
00:39:07.079 --> 00:39:09.559
with the fine doctors of me,
my South, Doctor Sweet, and the

501
00:39:10.119 --> 00:39:15.280
great great Doctor love Weapon, who
is now a published author. And I

502
00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:21.800
want to congratulate you, Doctor love
Weapon on your latest book. I'm glad

503
00:39:21.840 --> 00:39:28.639
that is no longer just a restue
read. I'm very glad it'll be available

504
00:39:28.719 --> 00:39:31.920
soon. It's called how I became
Doctor love Weapon in Inside of a Submarine,

505
00:39:34.159 --> 00:39:37.199
and that note on behalf of Doctor
Love Weapon and Doctor Sweet. We

506
00:39:37.320 --> 00:40:07.880
will see you one of these fridays. That's right, ladies and gentlemen,

507
00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:12.599
that's right. This is the time
of the show where we take a moment

508
00:40:13.159 --> 00:40:15.119
and talk about a few things that
made us angry back in the eighties.

509
00:40:15.159 --> 00:40:20.400
And in honor of the most wondrous
change, thank you, we have called

510
00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:23.239
them changry. Yes, yes,
yes, Top of the Day, Top

511
00:40:23.320 --> 00:40:29.360
of the Friday. All of my
changster's gangsters out there. The very first

512
00:40:29.519 --> 00:40:32.800
changry I would like to start this
portion off is something that I hold dear

513
00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:37.320
to my angry black heart. You
know what made me changry back in the

514
00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:45.599
eighties? What's that? Going all
the way to the mall and going to

515
00:40:45.719 --> 00:40:52.360
Miller's outpost or possibly the Gap and
not finding my size and levis I wanted

516
00:40:53.039 --> 00:40:57.320
people up for them? You know
what got me changery back in the eighties?

517
00:40:57.480 --> 00:41:02.360
What's up? Expecting a pair of
Guess jeans for Christmas and getting a

518
00:41:02.519 --> 00:41:12.079
pair of Wranglers? That made me
changry. Wranglers the official pants and gene

519
00:41:12.239 --> 00:41:17.639
cowboy plastic wearer. You know what
used to get me changry back in the

520
00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:27.400
eighties during the fashion craise. What's
that? Buying T shirts that sagged after

521
00:41:27.679 --> 00:41:31.239
one dryer and they look like you
had been gleeping in or they belonged to

522
00:41:31.440 --> 00:41:36.679
the homeless guy. You know what
got me changery back in the eighties,

523
00:41:37.599 --> 00:41:40.239
asking my dad for white T shirts
because I wanted to look like a rocker

524
00:41:40.800 --> 00:41:46.800
and him bringing back from Zodie's a
five pack of V neck T shirts for

525
00:41:47.039 --> 00:41:52.280
an eighty year old. Man,
I have to give it up to you,

526
00:41:52.440 --> 00:41:57.400
because all god V neck shirt maybe
beyond changry. They made me the

527
00:41:57.679 --> 00:42:02.719
changry. You know what used to
get you know what used to get me

528
00:42:04.199 --> 00:42:09.159
shangry back in the eighties when somebody
would step on my white slip on bands.

529
00:42:10.840 --> 00:42:15.639
Oh boy hated that. Oh man, I hated anybody coming near my

530
00:42:15.760 --> 00:42:21.239
vans. Man, you're gonna get
beat. And you know what got me

531
00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:25.480
changry back in the eighties when you
wanted a brand new TV and your parents

532
00:42:25.519 --> 00:42:30.360
said it's good enough with the console
television that your grandma lent to us.

533
00:42:31.159 --> 00:42:37.400
Yes, you know those kind of
TVs that were in this big armwore type

534
00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:42.679
of deal. And they had like
a record player on top. They were

535
00:42:42.760 --> 00:42:45.480
just disgusting huge. You were like, what the hell is that? A?

536
00:42:45.920 --> 00:42:51.840
Is that some type of a whale
in the living room? You know

537
00:42:51.960 --> 00:42:59.159
what used to get me shangry in
the eighties asking someone to buy me low

538
00:42:59.280 --> 00:43:07.400
and brawl and they would bring back
Michelot. You know it got me back.

539
00:43:07.760 --> 00:43:12.440
You know what got me changery back
in the eighties going for ice cream

540
00:43:13.360 --> 00:43:19.159
and having the whole squad at Farrell's
seeming like if it was my birthday and

541
00:43:19.280 --> 00:43:22.559
embarrassed the heck. No know what
used to get me changry in the eighties?

542
00:43:22.079 --> 00:43:29.840
What's that they never let me sing
lead at Farrels and that ladies and

543
00:43:29.840 --> 00:43:35.639
gentlemen has been the changers. So

us, send us a little note there

545
00:43:38.320 --> 00:43:44.199
telling us what you were angry about
in the eighties. Now, speaking about

546
00:43:44.480 --> 00:43:47.239
things that got you and me angry
about in the eighties, what are some

547
00:43:47.320 --> 00:43:51.960
of the things that got you angry
about? The fashion statements that people made

548
00:43:52.039 --> 00:43:57.239
back then? For example, the
biggest fad that I hated not I don't

549
00:43:57.239 --> 00:43:59.280
even if I don't even know if
you want to call it a fad bit.

550
00:43:59.519 --> 00:44:04.920
It was just some guys loved cutting
their hair into mullets. Yes,

551
00:44:05.800 --> 00:44:08.719
and I hated that haircut. I
never I never wore a mullet. Business

552
00:44:08.800 --> 00:44:15.559
in the front, party in the
back, That's correct. Michael Well,

553
00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:20.119
kind of like Michael Bolton. But
then again, if you look at what's

554
00:44:20.159 --> 00:44:24.000
your name, Miley Cyrus's dad,
Billy Ray Cyrus, he brought them mullet

555
00:44:24.079 --> 00:44:30.480
back disgusting. You know, you
know what mullets used to remind me of.

556
00:44:30.119 --> 00:44:35.320
They used to remind me of somebody
wearing a Daniel Boom raccoon cap thinking

557
00:44:35.360 --> 00:44:39.960
they were breaking act. Yes,
exactly. You know what else you used

558
00:44:39.960 --> 00:44:43.760
to get me ticked off back in
the eighties is everybody had big hair,

559
00:44:44.679 --> 00:44:47.760
you know, like you see big
hair back in the hair. Yeah.

560
00:44:49.119 --> 00:44:52.039
You know, if you look at
Weird Science, Kelly Lebron, big hair,

561
00:44:52.239 --> 00:44:54.360
good lord, she was sexy,
Dolly Parton, big hair, Share,

562
00:44:54.519 --> 00:44:59.000
big hair, sexy, dropped a
Tina Turner big hair, Oh my

563
00:44:59.119 --> 00:45:01.800
god, do you know what that
was one of those fads that that that

564
00:45:02.800 --> 00:45:07.519
left a mark from that era that
when you look back, Oh, you

565
00:45:07.599 --> 00:45:09.079
know, you think about big hair, you think eighties, you know,

566
00:45:09.239 --> 00:45:14.079
and it now, the thing that
made me, that made me changry back

567
00:45:14.119 --> 00:45:19.519
in the eighties was when guys in
rock bands started looking like women. I

568
00:45:19.679 --> 00:45:22.760
kicked, how do you think a
guy like me felt? You go to

569
00:45:22.840 --> 00:45:27.079
box parties, you go down to
gigs or concerts, and you just see

570
00:45:27.159 --> 00:45:32.360
big hair. You see dudes wearing
uh leg warmers and color spandex. Everybody

571
00:45:32.440 --> 00:45:36.840
smells like awkward, and you know, and the thing that the thing that

572
00:45:36.920 --> 00:45:38.760
made it worse for me was that
I liked these bands, you know,

573
00:45:38.880 --> 00:45:43.559
I liked how they they played and
they saying I liked, you know,

574
00:45:43.679 --> 00:45:49.119
Cinderella or Twisted Sister. I just
couldn't deal too much with the appearance,

575
00:45:49.199 --> 00:45:52.119
but everything else was fine. That's
why I got cassettes and not the albums

576
00:45:52.159 --> 00:45:54.880
back then, so I would I
would have a bigger picture. The appearance

577
00:45:55.000 --> 00:45:58.920
was ridiculous, you know. And
then I was always out in Hollywood or

578
00:45:58.960 --> 00:46:02.599
about so I got to see those
kind of types of individuals. Me and

579
00:46:02.719 --> 00:46:07.360
you have discussed, I've had many
of brawls with the many well known pretty

580
00:46:07.440 --> 00:46:10.760
rockers out there in the pretty rocker
world. And I did say that,

581
00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:15.559
yes, I have saying that pretty
rockers glam rockers. You know, there

582
00:46:15.639 --> 00:46:20.480
was a big difference between rockers back
in the eighties that we could even make

583
00:46:20.519 --> 00:46:25.760
another show about that one. But
man, that was the ultimate changry dudes

584
00:46:25.800 --> 00:46:30.440
that looked like chicks back in the
eighties. If you like bon Jovi,

585
00:46:30.840 --> 00:46:36.360
you might as well wear a dress. What a hater? Stop Stop being

586
00:46:36.360 --> 00:46:44.199
a hater. I'm just playing the
man. Here's the thing, isn't playing?

587
00:46:44.599 --> 00:46:49.840
Okay? So all right, so
some of those now, oh yeah,

588
00:46:49.840 --> 00:46:52.320
you know I told you my my
big three malls. What were your

589
00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:53.599
top three malls that you went to? And and by the way, I

590
00:46:53.639 --> 00:46:57.599
know one of them that you're gonna
mention, and I've got a funny story

591
00:46:57.760 --> 00:47:00.079
about that one. So go ahead, what is your favorite three malls?

592
00:47:01.239 --> 00:47:07.880
My favorite three malls would have to
be the Lupe mall right, Okay.

593
00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:15.800
I also used to like, uh, uh do you south South Coast Mall?

594
00:47:15.239 --> 00:47:17.960
Yeah, I don't know if you
know. South Coast Plaza, which

595
00:47:19.039 --> 00:47:22.239
is very close to where I live
right now, was considered one of the

596
00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:25.440
biggest malls in the US. Uh. The only thing that South Coast Plaza

597
00:47:25.639 --> 00:47:30.679
is um South Coast Plaza. Yes, yeah, it's a it's it's too

598
00:47:30.840 --> 00:47:34.559
rich for my taste, if you
know what I mean. It's it's it's

599
00:47:34.599 --> 00:47:38.079
got all the Louis Vitton stores and
all the most expensive stores in the world.

600
00:47:38.800 --> 00:47:43.000
But it wasn't like a kid friendly
or I hang out friendly back then

601
00:47:43.199 --> 00:47:47.239
mall to me. Anyway, I
used to like going over there because it

602
00:47:47.320 --> 00:47:51.719
was so richy. Yeah, it
did have a beautiful theater. It did

603
00:47:51.840 --> 00:47:53.840
have nice places to eat. Oh
yeah, you know what I mean.

604
00:47:54.280 --> 00:47:59.559
They did have an arcade, but
it wasn't really busy, you know what

605
00:47:59.639 --> 00:48:01.360
I mean. Kids that went to
that arcade were up. It was a

606
00:48:01.519 --> 00:48:06.960
very upscale mall. But I was
always I liked it because it just smelled

607
00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:10.599
of allgant. It was very Christine
looking, you know what I'm saying.

608
00:48:10.920 --> 00:48:16.000
Yeah, you could walk around and
look like at a lot of hot chicks,

609
00:48:16.079 --> 00:48:19.480
but you know, hot chicks with
money. Yeah, but there was

610
00:48:20.719 --> 00:48:22.800
it was a mall that I like
going to. I would pretend I was

611
00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:27.880
one of the hollows that I got
off with Gilligan's Island and I was the

612
00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:31.800
son of one of the hollows.
Soft Plaza is one of those malls that,

613
00:48:32.639 --> 00:48:37.280
uh, it's kind of like going
to Beverly Hills on Rodaloe Drive.

614
00:48:37.360 --> 00:48:40.280
But Rodaloe Drive is all outside.
Well, this is all it was.

615
00:48:42.639 --> 00:48:45.639
It was a little bit more like
the Galleria now. I used to like

616
00:48:45.760 --> 00:48:49.840
to go to the Gallery. Was
that the one that in Ki in Glendale?

617
00:48:50.960 --> 00:48:53.079
Yeah, like, oh my god, you know the Valley girls.

618
00:48:53.199 --> 00:48:57.840
Yeah, yeah, you know I
gotta tell you a Valley girls. They

619
00:48:57.920 --> 00:49:01.039
know what I have fun if you
know what I'm saying. Oh man,

620
00:49:01.440 --> 00:49:05.639
yeah, No, malls we had
so much fun back then. I just

621
00:49:05.760 --> 00:49:10.920
can't believe that we are living in
an era now where I mean, who

622
00:49:12.000 --> 00:49:16.719
could have imagined that malls were gonna
die? That that not the malls as

623
00:49:16.760 --> 00:49:22.480
far as shopping, but that that
same ambience, that same kind of hangout

624
00:49:22.559 --> 00:49:27.719
place that we used to have them, it's gone. You know what what

625
00:49:27.920 --> 00:49:30.800
other mall I used to like,
you're asking my top three? If that

626
00:49:30.880 --> 00:49:34.760
would have to be the Lakewood Mall? Oh? I used to like over

627
00:49:34.880 --> 00:49:37.400
the Lakewood Mall. That was a
cool mall to hang out. And then

628
00:49:37.639 --> 00:49:45.559
uh, I remember going to the
Red Onion back in the eighties Bass Rock

629
00:49:45.639 --> 00:49:49.280
and Roll Medal Station from Long Beach, California one to five point five.

630
00:49:51.320 --> 00:49:53.719
Ye was out in about and we
would go hang out at the Red Onion

631
00:49:54.119 --> 00:49:58.840
on k and Ec Night. And
that was later on into the eighties.

632
00:49:58.920 --> 00:50:06.000
That was probably eighty five, maybe
eighty six, probably untill about nineteen ninety

633
00:50:06.079 --> 00:50:13.480
when KNYC was finally silenced by a
lot of the conglomerates that have destroyed terrestrial

634
00:50:13.679 --> 00:50:16.199
radio as we know it. Yes, I agree, I agree. Oh

635
00:50:16.280 --> 00:50:21.400
man, you just remember the Red
Onion being almost at every mall too.

636
00:50:22.480 --> 00:50:25.199
Oh dude, there was a Red
Onion in so many locations, wasn't it.

637
00:50:25.320 --> 00:50:29.039
It was kind of like the competition
to El Torito, wasn't it.

638
00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:32.599
Yes, it was, it was, Yeah, it was. You know,

639
00:50:32.719 --> 00:50:36.880
they had fine dining, but heck
man, I was there at kN

640
00:50:36.960 --> 00:50:39.519
a C night just to get taco
Tuesday and see who I can go home

641
00:50:39.559 --> 00:50:45.039
with. I remember them having great, great food. But like I said,

642
00:50:45.480 --> 00:50:49.960
uh, just different times. And
I can't believe that malls are no

643
00:50:50.119 --> 00:50:53.239
longer the same. And there were
so many stars and so many stories along

644
00:50:53.320 --> 00:50:59.719
with those stores in the mall that
that we just had fun. I remember,

645
00:51:00.960 --> 00:51:05.280
you know, we talked about going
to stores like Spencers and and stores

646
00:51:05.320 --> 00:51:09.000
like Benetton and you know, things
like that. But do you did you

647
00:51:09.079 --> 00:51:14.360
ever hang out at the food court
itself? As a matter of fact,

648
00:51:14.480 --> 00:51:16.159
yeah, I would like to.
I told you that story on our last

649
00:51:16.199 --> 00:51:21.920
show with Hot Dog on a Stick. I had met it met some girl,

650
00:51:22.199 --> 00:51:24.360
you know, have a little bit
of a relationship. But if she

651
00:51:24.440 --> 00:51:29.960
used to work at the one in
Lapne, So I would go down there

652
00:51:30.039 --> 00:51:32.199
when I could catch her work and
hang out there and you know, eat

653
00:51:32.239 --> 00:51:36.000
corn dogs, drink shakes, drink
so does look at her in that little

654
00:51:36.039 --> 00:51:40.239
hot uniform. And I would just
fandangle and make my way around all the

655
00:51:40.360 --> 00:51:44.519
food places. Now remember the food
court. They used to give you a

656
00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:49.599
little toothpick. Absolutely, so my
friend, I would favor or at least

657
00:51:49.599 --> 00:51:54.400
three or four round of every individual
place in the food court. That was

658
00:51:54.480 --> 00:52:00.119
like some of the best scenery in
the food court because everyone has to eat

659
00:52:00.760 --> 00:52:05.280
hot dudes, hot chicks, old
people, crazy people. The cool thing

660
00:52:05.400 --> 00:52:09.480
was that they had examples everywhere.
And that's one of the things that I

661
00:52:09.599 --> 00:52:14.719
missed, man. And then I
wanted to tell everybody this a little while

662
00:52:14.760 --> 00:52:16.960
ago, or when we first started
the program, and that's kind of give

663
00:52:17.000 --> 00:52:22.840
you a brief brief background of why
we decided to do the back to the

664
00:52:22.880 --> 00:52:28.320
eighties program. We wanted to do
something different because of you know, the

665
00:52:28.800 --> 00:52:32.000
with the pandemic, with the whole
protests, you know, with all the

666
00:52:32.119 --> 00:52:37.239
bad things happening around us. We
wanted to talk to you guys a little

667
00:52:37.280 --> 00:52:42.079
bit about the reasons that we developed
this podcast. And it's kind of hard

668
00:52:42.119 --> 00:52:45.440
for me to call it a podcast
because I'm used to it being a radio

669
00:52:45.519 --> 00:52:49.920
show. But you know, when
we're when we're going through these tough times,

670
00:52:50.000 --> 00:52:52.920
it makes you, it makes you
long for better times, right and

671
00:52:53.719 --> 00:52:58.760
and and these times have made us, which we were living back in the

672
00:52:58.840 --> 00:53:02.599
eighties, it's just a simple time
for us as younger kids in youth.

673
00:53:04.119 --> 00:53:07.519
It was a time where we were
under the roof of in many cases,

674
00:53:07.599 --> 00:53:10.719
under the roof of our parents,
and in my case anyway, and our

675
00:53:10.760 --> 00:53:15.199
only worries were getting home on time
so that we wouldn't get grounded. You

676
00:53:15.320 --> 00:53:21.400
remember that. And it's just too
bad that the new generation of kids will

677
00:53:21.559 --> 00:53:27.239
never understand that. And one of
the things that bothers me is that the

678
00:53:27.480 --> 00:53:30.920
parents, the parents of these kids
are not teaching them of the time where

679
00:53:31.000 --> 00:53:35.280
when they grew up, of that
era, you know what I mean,

680
00:53:35.400 --> 00:53:38.920
So the kids would learn to appreciate
what they have, because kids nowadays they

681
00:53:38.960 --> 00:53:44.960
don't. They have no idea how
different it was for us. All they

682
00:53:45.039 --> 00:53:49.119
know is a screen in front of
them, an instant communication with whomever,

683
00:53:49.599 --> 00:53:52.800
and they'll just never understand. And
that gets me kind of upset when I

684
00:53:52.039 --> 00:53:55.880
when I hear that parents never teach
their kids about the eighties or seventies or

685
00:53:55.920 --> 00:54:00.159
whenever they grew up. I think
kids need to know that. I totally

686
00:54:00.199 --> 00:54:06.679
agree with you. I wholeheartedly agree
with you and my analysis of the way

687
00:54:07.320 --> 00:54:13.599
things have transpired and kind of shifted
to in society. I cannot no longer

688
00:54:13.719 --> 00:54:22.239
hold one generation responsible for the neglect, the disrespect, the loss, the

689
00:54:22.440 --> 00:54:29.159
disarray. I think it's a breakdown
of our generation. Maybe it's those of

690
00:54:29.239 --> 00:54:34.320
you that have older siblings their generation. And where I find this true to

691
00:54:34.440 --> 00:54:37.239
be is nowadays we deal with a
lot of homes where it's very easy,

692
00:54:37.360 --> 00:54:44.199
prepared to not marry and break up
and split up and then go with someone

693
00:54:44.280 --> 00:54:47.840
else, so there's a child left
between two parents. We come from a

694
00:54:47.880 --> 00:54:53.079
background where divorced was becoming very easy, and I blame the decay and the

695
00:54:53.719 --> 00:55:01.239
disrespect and the loss in the generations
prior on my generation, my siblings generations,

696
00:55:01.800 --> 00:55:07.880
and even our parents' generations to a
certain degree, because I think once

697
00:55:07.039 --> 00:55:14.360
divorce was accepted and used as freely
as frequently as it was, we lost

698
00:55:14.480 --> 00:55:21.840
the nucleus and the bond of what
it is to know responsibility, you have

699
00:55:22.000 --> 00:55:24.000
to be committed. Yeah, and
by the way, that was really big

700
00:55:24.079 --> 00:55:27.360
in the eighties. Divorce was really
big in the eighties, I think,

701
00:55:27.480 --> 00:55:29.880
yes, exactly. You know,
you know, we talk a lot about

702
00:55:29.880 --> 00:55:31.280
it the stuff that we like,
but one of the things that we don't

703
00:55:31.320 --> 00:55:37.920
like about the eighties it was exactly
that that maybe the beginnings of this divorce

704
00:55:37.079 --> 00:55:45.880
craze, creating the fifty percent divorce
rate in marriages. Yeah, the breakup

705
00:55:45.960 --> 00:55:51.480
of the nucleus the family, the
family, you know, and when you

706
00:55:51.599 --> 00:55:53.960
have that tusky, you know,
you have a lot of children that fall

707
00:55:54.039 --> 00:55:59.880
into that persona where they're latch key
kids. I'm sure many of our listeners

708
00:56:00.000 --> 00:56:04.679
and yourself are familiar with that terminology. And that's when the children are forced

709
00:56:04.719 --> 00:56:09.000
to be at home and be locked
in or with someone where their only world

710
00:56:09.199 --> 00:56:14.480
is what they have inside the interior
of home of mom and dad. Aren't

711
00:56:14.519 --> 00:56:19.079
there mom and Dad are either separators
or both that work. Their siblings are

712
00:56:19.199 --> 00:56:25.000
older and distraught on their own functions
in life. Technology has come around and

713
00:56:25.239 --> 00:56:34.920
taking creativity to almost a hypnotizing fashion, to where it hypnotizes our children,

714
00:56:35.840 --> 00:56:40.840
the one with the run we have
of trafficking and so much vile individuals that

715
00:56:40.920 --> 00:56:46.199
do crimes to children. Our children
are no longer free to exercise their freedom

716
00:56:46.239 --> 00:56:52.760
and their beautiful glistening of being a
youth and a child as we did to

717
00:56:52.039 --> 00:56:58.920
roam free and experience things outside of
the block because of the debancy. So

718
00:56:59.119 --> 00:57:08.079
I blame the loss of what we
want that on a whole mass reasoning from

719
00:57:08.280 --> 00:57:15.239
so many of our generations put together. And until we get leadership that preaches

720
00:57:15.360 --> 00:57:20.760
that, until we believe that as
our salves that pass that on to our

721
00:57:20.840 --> 00:57:27.079
own children who will approcreate, then
I believe our type and those of our

722
00:57:27.119 --> 00:57:31.880
listeners will be dinosaur type. And
it's very it's very sad to come to

723
00:57:32.039 --> 00:57:39.119
that analysis. For me, it's
very sad for me to to visually except

724
00:57:39.199 --> 00:57:43.719
that that might be the way it
is. But as you know the way

725
00:57:43.800 --> 00:57:45.800
I am. Brother, I'm going
to shoot it to you as funny as

726
00:57:45.880 --> 00:57:49.480
I can, but I'm going to
hit you in the face with truth.

727
00:57:49.760 --> 00:57:55.159
Yea in it. So my truth
is it's it's all of our fault on

728
00:57:55.280 --> 00:58:00.440
where we're at. We have no
one to blame but our salve. And

729
00:58:00.719 --> 00:58:05.960
either you can either walk the path
of being righteous, pretend you walk the

730
00:58:06.119 --> 00:58:09.159
path, but you know what I
mean, you have to be really true

731
00:58:09.480 --> 00:58:13.639
if you're going to walk any path. My brother I agree. And on

732
00:58:13.760 --> 00:58:16.320
