Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Let's mean, let's go on the trip back to the ladies.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
All right, everybody, welcome back to the one and only
back to the eighties and Radio today is a fantastic show.
We're gonna mess with your minds a little bit because
we're gonna be talking about what if the most iconic people,
the gadgets, some of the moments of the eighties never existed.
You know, no Madonna, no Spielberg, movies, Nintendo, et cetera.

(00:57):
Can you even picture it? What if all those culture
old cornerstones that defined that decade just vanished, And today
we're gonna be talking about just that. So stick around,
grab your Rubik's cube or a glass of something tasty.
Coming up, I must introduce to you a man who
looks who looks like he rolled straight out of a

(01:19):
heavy metal record cover. Now, don't be fooled. Here's a
guy who acts like he bleeds pure metal.

But I've heard.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Whispers about his secret soft spot for some of the
eighties guilty pleasures. Yes, this is the same Chang who

Karma Chameleon in line at the record store.

there's so many things that we would just be a
brain far too if they didn't exist. Can you imagine
if there was no Awka, that there would be no
glam Metal. What would we do without boy George not Tuscano.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
Now back to good, wholesome, politically correct entertainment. Oops, wrong station.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Now back to the eighties with Tuscano and Chang.

Speaker 6 (11:52):
Welcome back to back to the eighties Radio Chang. Here,
Tuscano and Chang are talking a lot of trash tonight.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
That was Joel.

Speaker 6 (12:00):
We didn't start the fire, and we followed it up
with the great You Too, with God Too. The songs
that we just played, we did that to try to
ease your minds, ladies and gentlemen from America. As you know,
we just went through an election, a very trying election.
We have people celebrating, we have people sad, we have
people worried. This election here in America has brought down,

(12:23):
brought a lot of division, hate, worry, and we're here
to make sure that you, boys and girls do not
suffer anymore. We're going to try to give you a
little happiness and take your mind out of what has happened.
We refrain from giving our own political view because at

(12:43):
this point it really doesn't matter anybody's political view, because
the only way to prosperity, boys and girls, is through unity.
America is so far from unity right now that it
hurts my taint. Tuscano and I have had several conversations.
We've both been late wondering the fate of America and
the rest of the world with such an election. Like

(13:06):
I say, is anybody really a winner? It's almost like
when you go to watch a game. Usually you have
your home team. You're excited when your home team wins,
you know, But this election was very much like a
sporting event.

Speaker 4 (13:20):
We got a lot of bad people on both sides.

Speaker 6 (13:23):
We have a lot of people that have no problem
with causing more division, which is only feeding into the problem.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
And we want to tell you right now, anybody on
social media.

Speaker 6 (13:32):
That is not in alliance with family members or friends
of the past on who they voted for, let me
urge you on this a very serious note. You are
buying into the hate whoever you voted for, whatever you
believe when you are going to defriend or just delete
someone not only from social media, or cut your ties
with him as a human. And here's why I say that,

(13:56):
because elections, it's an opinion. Everyone has an a But
if we take this election out of context as it is,
and we make it personal and we cut ties on
social media or our family and our friends, you are
guilty of the exact deceit that America is going through now.
If you continue to go on your hate street either

(14:18):
party or your mocking street of either party, which causes
more separation, you, my brother and sister, are part of
the problem.

Speaker 4 (14:29):
I heard this from a gentleman I used to work with.

Speaker 6 (14:32):
If you are not going to be part of the solution,
then damn it, you are the pollution. Do not let
your emotions get carried away. Do not let your anger
take you on a stream that you can't paddle back.
If we have no community in the United States, then
we need to change your name from the United States

(14:53):
to the States.

Speaker 4 (14:55):
That's all I'll say on that matter. My brother.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
Look, here's the bottom line. Nobody bread, blue, whatever any
other political color there is out there. Nobody can make
this country great if the people are not united. So
that's one thing. We need to be united. And you

(15:18):
know what, governments do not unite. The people unite themselves.
We need to come together. You know, maybe that is
wishful thinking.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
Maybe that is in a.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Perfect world which we do not live. The moment that
family members start dividing over politics, the moment that friends
stop being friends because of politics, that is when you
should know, or, like Chang says, you should wake up.
You should know that there is something wrong with the system.
When we stop being friends and we stop showing kindness,

(15:53):
and we stop showing compassion to our fellow human being,
there is something wrong with our beliefs, and it is
that that needs to change.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
Enough for the.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
Politics, my friends here on back to the eighties. What
we are here for is, Hugh. We are here because
we love the nineteen eighties and we believe that even
though the eighties had some pretty messed up stuff, they
were a whole heck of a lot better than we
have it today in so many areas. But today we
are going to be talking about Wait, wait, chang, we

(16:29):
got a phone call.

Speaker 4 (16:30):
Hey, what's the that's the request line?

Speaker 6 (16:33):

show we were taking requests.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
Pick it up.

Speaker 4 (16:37):
Who the hell is calling you?

Speaker 15 (16:38):
An answer?

Speaker 2 (16:39):
No, you go ahead, an answer?

Speaker 5 (16:40):

Speaker 2 (17:16):
Yes, he won twice, and he's no longer. He hasn't
been president for the past uh well to two presidencies.

Speaker 16 (17:24):
So I wandered to wait a minute, let me see,
let me do the math. Only one plus one is two,
two plus two is four. Hey, hey, homi, how how
long is the president in office?

Speaker 4 (17:35):

Speaker 2 (17:36):
Saying well, let me let me help you out, rooster,
four years, that'd be four years. But listen, right after
Obama became president and for his second term when he finished, uh,
then Donald Trump became president. And then after Donald Trump,
you know, the billionaire, he was a real estate tycoon.
And then he lost the second time and he lost

(17:58):
it to Joe Biden, who's been who's been around for
a long luftime in politics. And then we recently had
elections and Donald Trump was once again re elected. So
a lot has changed.

Speaker 4 (18:11):
Yeah, how can you be president?

Speaker 16 (18:12):
It's if you've got a record, homie, I can't even
get a job at McDonald's.

Speaker 23 (27:44):
Everybod material world, IM material worm, Thank.

Speaker 17 (28:16):
Material, material, material material.

Speaker 25 (28:35):
Welcome back to the one and only, Back to the
radio that went out to cell block seeing from roose to.

Speaker 3 (28:41):
Order that on.

Speaker 6 (28:41):
It's good that you're locked and loaded with, Toscano checked
that was a gap that you dropped the bomb on me.
Man if I didn't dance like a white guy girl,
I would have been dancing into that tune. And we
falled that up with nobody else's favorite sing. But Madonna
the material girl. And it's odd that we're playing the
material girl because everybody is so wrapped up in materialistic ways.
What are you going to do, Tuscano, Let's start to

(29:04):
show and fire away on things that if they wouldn't
be here me and you might not be here se.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
All right, folks, so picture this, it's nineteen eighty four.
But all of a sudden, there's no Madonna. That's right,
No material girl, no con bras, no like a virgin.
Because we are imagining and going to be talking about
what the world would have been like without certain performers

(29:31):
and certain items, certain devices, and certain people, without Madonna
daring to be on the pop stage, what would have
been going on?

Speaker 17 (29:40):
Now?

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Madonna was everywhere in the eighties, all right, right off
the bat, the music scene I can tell you would
have looked so different what she did back then trickled
down to decades to come. Let's start with the fact
that Madonna defined pop in the eighties. Her image, the
music was catchy, it was controvers Ruschael. Back then, she

(30:01):
was pushing the boundaries of fashion, sexuality, female empowerment. I mean,
without her, we probably would have had a much tamer
decade in music. I mean, the closest thing to an
edgy popstar might have been what Cindy Lapper. But even
Cindy's style was more playful and less confrontational than Madonna was.

Speaker 6 (30:22):
Cindy Lapper was very quirky Chetta style, but I don't
think Cindy Lapper had the style, the vocal range up
until now. She's an excellent singer to probably start a
fad the way that Madonna did. I remember seeing some
girls that wanted to look like Cindy Lapper, you know,

(30:42):
But I used to see more wana Madonna's than I
did want to be Cindy Lapper's. Cindy Lauper did not
use her sexual prelessness in her being and her looks
the way Madonna did. I think Madonna orchestrated her music
words to sexuality that she was putting out so it

(31:04):
was easy for people to buy into it. Girls wanted
to be that, guys wanted that. So it was it
was way easier and faster for her to catapult to
where she did. Even over a Whitney Houston, Whitney Houston,
very attractive, raw talent, gospel girl, Madonna, ex Catholic, single dad,

(31:25):
didn't shave her armpits, came out in a wedding dress,
rolling on the floor because good God, when you get married,
honeymoon night address is getting rolled somewhere.

Speaker 4 (31:34):
Bro, if you know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
Yeah, I mean you got to remember lace gloves, stacked jewelry, crucifixes.
I mean, if she hadn't existed, a whole lot of
high schoolers would have had a lot less stylish and
or at least a lot less rebellious in how they dressed.

Speaker 6 (31:49):
There would have been a lot of people not getting
laid if Madonna didn't come out.

Speaker 4 (31:52):
Bro put it right there, right definitely.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
But remember without her, even today, artists like Lady Guy
or even Beyonce who approached their careers kind of in
that same way, you know, showing their body doing certain
things with their body on stage, they probably would not
have done that they would have probably approached it differently
because we wouldn't have had the pioneer of everything, which

(32:18):
was Madonna. I mean, finally, this is a lady, a
woman who gave women in music an edge.

Speaker 18 (32:26):
I mean that edge.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
She broke down the barriers I mean for female artists,
proving that they could be powerful, they could be independent,
and as a matter of fact, they could even be intimidating,
because I mean, which guy would not have been intimidated
with such the likes of a Madonna if they were
to have a chance. So a world without Madonna, I mean,

(32:51):
we'd be missing one of the biggest cultural shifts of
the decade. The pop landscape without her influence would have
been way less deare and edgy.

Speaker 6 (33:01):
You got to remember Michael Jackson. Where would we be
without Michael Jackson in the eighties. Although Michael Jackson came
up with a Michael Jackson revolutionized music when he was
with a Jackson five.

Speaker 4 (33:14):
Where would music?

Speaker 6 (33:15):
Where would we be if we didn't have Michael Jackson
of the eighties. There's another icon who did not use
a sexual look or any type of a sexual press
to prove who he was, but he innovated. He was
an innovator. He started so much. Another individual comes to
my boy, George. Where would we be without boy George.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
Yeah, let's go back real quick to Michael Jackson, because
you mentioned somebody that was very important because he was Okay,
I mean, there's been no other performer that has had
the title the King of Pop. So let's imagine the
world without the King of Pop. That means no album Thriller,
which was the best selling album of all time, no

(33:59):
Va video Thriller right to change the way videos were
shot back then in kind of like a movie type.
His influence on music gone because he was bringing rock, pop,
R and B, and even funk into one sound. So
his ability to blend all these genres together was powerful.

(34:25):
So oh and of course his dancing. Not only could
you sing, but you can write and dance. I mean
inspired artists like Usher, justin Timberlake and so many others.
Without Michael, would they even be around today. I mean,

(34:46):
Michael Jackson, without a doubt, one of the strongest cultural
icons of the eighties and beyond.

Speaker 4 (34:52):
I would agree.

Speaker 6 (34:53):
I would probably say that king of pop in the
eighties has to go to Madonna and Michael Jackson definitely
you know, and I think the princess of a music
would have to go to Boy George. Now, yeah, I mean,
you know, I'm not a big fan of Culture Club.
I didn't like their music, you know.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
Ah, well that doesn't surprise me.

Speaker 4 (35:13):
I didn't like it.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
Well I mean what, yeah, of course, now, because you
don't like anything that's not metal, No, no.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
No, no no.

Speaker 6 (35:19):
I'm not gonna tell me for anybody unless I'm in
the dryer with my laundry. That's what I'm going to
tumble for you. But you have to understand, boy George
is also an innovator. He also opened up the door
for change, cross dressing, make up on a man being
comfortable with your homosexuality, so he too could be categorized

(35:44):
as an icon who brought upon change. So Boy George
is very interesting also too, because Boy George came onto
the scene and it was pop music. But yet, if
you break down to me, if you break down boy
George's vocal capabilities, his range of the emotion he put

(36:06):
in there, that's like old school kind of motown. Was
a poppy beat and some makeup and some hair. The
guy could sing a lot of the poppy songs. If
you break them down and listen to them, not bad lyrics,
wasn't like I mean tea.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
There he goes again. Notice ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
Notice how Chang once again likes to point out that
it wasn't his cup of tea or it wasn't his
favorite music. Every chance that Chang can make you understand.
Just so if you ever see him on the street,
you don't confuse him to liking any of other music
except for hardcore metal. He will bring that out to
us anyway. The hater is out with fury anyway.

Speaker 4 (36:50):
Culture.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
You're absolutely right because they infused look, they infused their
music with reggae, new wave and soul music. Yes, and
it was refreshed. Could he sing absolutely? What are some
maybe people or artists of today that would not be
around possibly that were influenced by him? Well, Sam Smith, definitely,

(37:13):
Harry Styles, maybe Lady Gaga, you know. And what about
his fashion and his gender expression, because you know, flamboyant, iconic.
He his look wasn't just a statement, It was an
invitation to embrace the gender fluidity and freedom.

Speaker 6 (37:37):
I think, and that was one of the key innovative
moves or groups I think during the eighties.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
It was a valiant move on his part as a
gay man in the eighties, this was a game changer,
you know, not only because of what he represented, but
he also provided a positive lie, you know, by bringing
the universal language of music and good music to the

(38:08):
world in a world that was hurting, in a world
that needed you know, have you ever thought, let me
go on a little side note real quick. Back in
the eighties, the world was facing our societies. The world
was facing struggles on many fronts. I mean, we were
feeling the weight of the Cold War, the threat of
nuclear conflict. We faced economic hardships, unemployment, rising inequality, HIV epidemic.

(38:35):
I mean it was casting a shadow, spreading fear and misunderstanding,
social unrest, environmental concerns. I mean there was a sense
that the world was at a crossroads, teetering between hope
and despair. Okay, And then it was the music, the
music that came surging into our lives like a lifeline.

(38:58):
It was a decade of owned less creativity. This is
why it was so special and will live forever, and
it was daring. Each genre had its own message, its
own magic, whether it was rock, pop, hip, hop, new wave,
metal and everything in between brought new sounds, rhythms, and
lyrical power. The songs became anthems of resilience and escape.

(39:23):
Of these songs, the music spoke to our frustrations, our anger,
our dreams, our collective spirits in way that words or
governments couldn't do it. Music in the eighties was fearless.
It was rebellious, it was joyful. Sometimes it was angry,
but it was always real and it wasn't just background noise.

(39:48):
It was our soundtrack, our voice in a world that
was heavy and uncertain. It was this music that reminded
us there was still something beautiful, something worth celebrat. And
because of that, ladies and gentlemen, the music of the
nineteen eighties was just more than entertainment. It was a revolution,
a source of unity and a way to hold on

(40:10):
to hope. And in that light, Chang, I want us
to do something in remembrance of Quincy Jones, who just
passed away this past week, in a song that beautifully
captures the spirit that goes hand in hand with the
resilience and unity of the eighties. This is USA for Africa.

Speaker 9 (40:26):
We are the world.

Speaker 3 (40:41):
There comes a time.

Speaker 11 (40:43):
When we heat a certain call, when the world must

Speaker 3 (51:51):
What three see this order? Let see your play.

Speaker 34 (51:57):
See we are the world bowed it up with something
from the police, murdered by numbers, just gone on.

Speaker 4 (52:08):
Let me ask you where would we be if.

Speaker 6 (52:10):
There was no Quincy Jones putting out music like he
did in the eighties. The man was a mastermind, a kingpin,
a perfectionist. Where would music be now? Without Quincy Jones?
Where would we be a lot of crap that we
wouldn't like to listen to, that's where we'd be.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
I mean, the guy played the piano for Frank Sinatra
at times. He was a composer, a ranger, musician, He
was a producer. But if it wasn't hit for him,
albums like Off the Wall Thriller Bad. Do you think
that would have been a thing with Michael Jackson. I mean,
there's artists like Doctor Dre, Kanye West, Farrell, Farrell Williams

(52:50):
that would probably not even be here. A jazz artists
R and B artist, soul in R and B legends
like Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Dana Ross and more from
the sixties all the way down, and even in film
and television composing he had a part because he had
film scores that came out in movies like The Color
Purple in the Heat of the Night. These are eighties movies.

(53:12):
And then pop and crossover artists, you know, like you
mentioned Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Bruno Mars, Lionel Ritchie. All
these people had had at least something to do with
Quincy Jones. And so, I mean, this is a man
who touched the musical world in more ways that you

(53:34):
can ever imagine, and his influence runs so deep that
his impact on music is almost immeasurable.

Speaker 6 (53:44):
I would probably say Quincy Jones to music kind of
was like the rush people got when Elvis came, but
a whole different magnitude.

Speaker 4 (53:52):
Quincy Jones was.

Speaker 6 (53:54):
I mean, like you said, he started off with the
Frank Sinatra, mister mobster at a time back then where
not too many black artists were recognized. We're talking about
Quincy Jones coming into the music industry when black artists
could perform for white people, but they had to stay
in an all black hotel or motel.

Speaker 2 (54:11):
You mentioned he collaborated with Miles Davis, Ray, Charles Sarah Vaughan.
I mean he paved the way for artists like Herbie
Hancock and George Benson, who you know. These guys integrated
jazz and pop and R and B together, so a legend.
He left the legacy musical innovation, inclusivity, and he inspired

(54:32):
artists across generations and borders. This was the great Quincy Jones.
And of course without him, we would not have what
song we just heard, which is We Are the World
for USA for Africa, released in nineteen eighty five.

Speaker 6 (54:49):
It's funny that you brought up the name George Benson.
George Benson is one of my favorite artists, one of
my favorite guitar players. I went to go see him
when they recorded The Weekend in La, one of his
greatest live albums. It was sensational. Not only Quincy Jones
is an icon, what about Bob Geldoff. Where would we

(55:15):
be without him?

Speaker 4 (55:17):
And live aid.

Speaker 6 (55:19):
Bringing a face to the crisises of the world and
making it global, bringing all those artists together of the
eighties for one reason, Let's make some people feel better.
Let's show the world that we are diverse and we
are unified, and that my friend is one thing we

(55:40):
are missing dearly today in our new culture as opposed
to the eighties.

Speaker 2 (55:45):
Not only was he a musician himself. I was a
front man of the boomtown Rats in the seventies and eighties,
but he was also an activist, okay, and that is
by the way, his most significant contribution to global awareness
came through organizing band aid and Live Aid in eighty four,

(56:10):
and this was after watching the reports on the feminine Ethiopia.
I mean, he wrote do they Know It's Christmas? It
was a charity single performed by top UK artist. So
this was a man who was involved in political activism, advocacy,
and he raised hundreds of millions of dollars to help

(56:30):
the less fortunate. He had a lot of influence, especially
in the celebrity in the celebrity world.

Speaker 6 (56:36):
And we're talking about such great individuals that help bring
about change not only in the industry but in the world.
And you know, bro, music is everything to me, Like
as we're talking after the election day. If I were
be able to be the president of the United States,

(57:00):
the one thing I would do that I know people
would be like, that's ridiculous. I would put speakers on
every street corner, on every neighborhood, just like a DJ
comes out on the FM radio. What we once knew
God rested soul FM radio terrestrial radio as we watch
it now, these generations dine, which was a great, a

(57:23):
great entity that we had during the eighties. I would
play music, and I would play songs to where everybody
will stop at that given moment and lose track of
all the crap in the world and everything else hanging
us down, or your ritual or your schedule, and for

(57:44):
that one point in time and every neighborhood, on every
street corner, whether you're driving through, on a bus, walking,
songs come out and just put everybody in a positive state,
a state of bewilderment, to where every everyone is caught
in their own memory of joy sadness, but at that

(58:05):
one given moment, we are all together in the same
place happiness through music.

Speaker 35 (58:40):
He is a little song I wrote.

Speaker 22 (58:43):
You might want to sing it not for no, don't worry.
Be happy.

Speaker 35 (58:54):
In every life we have some trouble. When you wear,
you make it. But don't worry, be happy. Don't worry,
be happy now, don't worry, be happy. Don't worry be happy.

Speaker 3 (59:26):
Don't worry be happy.

Speaker 22 (59:33):
Don't worry, be happy.

Speaker 35 (59:35):
And I'm a place to lay your head. Somebody came
and took your bed.

Speaker 22 (59:41):
Don't worry.

Speaker 20 (59:45):
Be happy.

Speaker 35 (59:49):
The landlord say your rent is late, he may have
to let get don't worry.

Speaker 20 (01:00:00):

Speaker 3 (01:00:01):
Look at me.

Speaker 5 (01:00:02):
I'm happy.

Speaker 22 (01:00:08):
Don't worry, be happy.

Speaker 3 (01:00:14):
I give you my phone number. When you worry, called me.
And if you're happy, don't.

Speaker 22 (01:00:22):
Weary, be happy.

Speaker 17 (01:00:31):
In God.

Speaker 3 (01:00:31):
Lo cash in God, no style in God to make
you smile. But don't worry. Be happy, because.

Speaker 35 (01:00:44):
When you wear, your face will frown. That will bring
everybody down. So don't worry, be happy, don't worry, be happiness.

Speaker 22 (01:01:03):
Don't worry be happy.

Speaker 35 (01:01:10):
Don't worry be happy, don't worry to be happy, don't
worry be happy now.

Speaker 22 (01:01:26):
Then this song I wrote, I hope you learned it.
Not for not like good to children. Don't worry.

Speaker 3 (01:01:36):
Be happy. Listen to what I see in your life.
Expect some drum when you worry. Make it talbot. Don't worry,
big happy.

Speaker 22 (01:01:53):
Happy now, don't worry, be happy, don't worry.

Speaker 36 (01:02:06):
Be happy, don't worry, don't be happy, don't worry, be happy.

Speaker 22 (01:02:25):
Don't worry, don't worry, don't do it.

Speaker 3 (01:02:29):
Be happy.

Speaker 22 (01:02:31):
With a smile on your face. Don't bring everybody that.
Don't worry. It will soon pass, whatever it is. Don't worry,
be happy, I don't worry.

Speaker 7 (01:03:15):
We're not start to use it all scart to go
through the water into dreams.

Speaker 9 (01:03:21):
We have to real.

Speaker 3 (01:03:24):

Speaker 7 (01:03:29):
We're going into the things with price'll do you scale.

Speaker 9 (01:03:39):

With a man.

Speaker 3 (01:05:21):
It's gonna patil. This is back to the eighty radius.

Speaker 2 (01:06:41):
For this is the time of the show that if
you remember to our first shows when we began, we
are bringing back the chang grease.

Speaker 3 (01:06:51):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (01:06:51):
What are the changers, you may ask? It is the
part of the show where we talk about what made
us angry in the nineteen eighties, but in honor the
most wondrous chang, we now dubbed them chang gree. So Chang,
you are the man of the hour. What made you
shang greek back in the eighties.

Speaker 6 (01:07:12):
You know what made me changry back in the nineteen eighties?
Losing in pinball?

Speaker 4 (01:07:21):
You know what made me changry back in the nineteen eighties.
People who wore vans with no socks.

Speaker 3 (01:07:27):
You know what made me.

Speaker 4 (01:07:28):
Changry back in the nineteen eighties. Aquinet, you know what
made me angry?

Speaker 16 (01:07:37):

Speaker 4 (01:07:37):
Wait, let's do that.

Speaker 6 (01:07:38):
You know what made me changry back in the nineteen eighties.

Speaker 4 (01:07:41):
Ronald Reagan, you know what made me changry back in
the nineteen eighties. I had all my hair then, and

Speaker 2 (01:07:57):
Yes, La gener and that is what we call these.
And if you have something that made you angry back
in the nineteen eighties, and you'd like to share it
with us so we can read it here and mention
your name, let us know by writing into the show
at back the number two the eighties radio at gmail
dot com.

Speaker 32 (01:08:19):
Are you a man but turned off by monster trucks?
Have you ever watched Desperate Housewives of Beverly Hills? Have
you forgotten how to scribe yourself? If so, talk to
your doctor, because you could be one of the ten
million men suffering in silence from a condition known as manipause.
Menopause afflicts men over the age of forty, men who
are married, and is one of the leading causes of depression,

(01:08:41):
loss of manliness, and the popularity of movies starring Channing Tatum.
But there is hope. Gurly mand no moir, Gurly Man
no More has been scientifically and clinically proven to increase manliness.
Talk to your doctor and see if gurly Manamour is
right for you. Curly Manamour should be used only as
directed by your physician. Possible side effects may include death,
sudden loss of limbs, temporary disembolovement, rage, climbing, hans harry palms,

(01:09:04):
hearing voices, busy signals, projectile vomiting, constant diarrhea, permanent constipation,
extreme attraction to squirrels, and fear of walking. Gurly Man
No Mair is not for men who are pregnant or
who may become pregnant. Do not take gurly Man no
More if you have hands, or if you're currently taking
any other medication. So talk to a doctor or call
now for a free trial. Gurly Man no More also

(01:09:24):
available in the topical cream. But that's just wrong.

Speaker 16 (01:09:31):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:09:31):
Now back to the eighties with Scotto, that would have
never existed people like Steven Spielberg, what would have happened?
I mean, his influence spans decades, and if you would
not have ever existed, there would have probably been a
huge void in the film industry as an art form
as as an industry as well. Think of the evolution

(01:09:55):
of blockbuster movies, the summer movies, the impact on pop culture,
the family films that he had like Et, the Goonies, Hook,
Jurassic Park. I mean, this guy was a storyteller and
in the eighties, this guy was responsible for making some
of the greatest movie at least some of my favorite

(01:10:18):
movies of all time, movies like Indiana Jones, that whole
saga of Indiana Jones Back to the Future. I mean,
this is you know, even though it was directed by
Robert Zamicas, it was Spielberg's influence as a producer that
helped shape this film and then movies like Poltergeist, Gremlins,

(01:10:40):
and then of course he did some huge blockbusters after
that as well. But et I mean, come on, where
would we be in cinema if people like Steven Spielberg
would have never existed?

Speaker 6 (01:10:55):
Where we would be in cinema had not the likes
of mister spiel Bird crashed upon us. Spielberg brought out
a childlike stories, fantasy and put them to light, put
them right in your face, so you know, families can
enjoy him. And he made movies that were good for
just adults. But he opened up that dream world to cinema.

(01:11:19):
And the sad thing nowadays you see a lot of
individuals that are making movies that are not really what
were am I to look for?

Speaker 4 (01:11:30):
Copycats.

Speaker 6 (01:11:32):
There's a lot of copycat movies coming out, a lot
of reboots of a lot of movies, and they're doing
it with their own spend. Note, the creativity is suffering
because we do not have individuals as great as Spielberg
with that mind, that kaleidoscope mind, you know, where he
can bring a storybook to vision and capture us and

(01:11:53):
take us on a journey cinema would be very boring.

Speaker 4 (01:11:57):
We would be stuck with Charlie Chaplin type stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:12:00):
Where would we be without the existence of certain things
like let me give these these are icons of the eighties.
But where would we be without arcades and video game
consoles like the Nintendo or like Atari? Back in the
nineteen eighties? Where would we be? Some say that we'd

(01:12:22):
probably be much better off.

Speaker 6 (01:12:24):
I know that.

Speaker 2 (01:12:24):
My mom used to say, the reason I don't want
to give you any games is it's going to rot
your brain, and up to a certain extent, I mean,
you know, it wasn't that bad for us because back then,
think about it, when we went to arcades, we'd actually
have to spend money as supposed to today, where the
kids are stuck behind a screen not only on a

(01:12:46):
big screen with their televisions and their xboxes or whatever
it is their PlayStations, but they also have them on
their phone everywhere they go, so the brain rot is
a lot harder. But where would we be with without
the power buttons of Nintendo and Atari.

Speaker 6 (01:13:06):
I agree with you one hundred percent. Where we would
be we would not have what you just mentioned, the arcade.
Now here's what I'm going to say on the arcade.
I think the arcade played a very important crucial part
in everyone growing up in the eighties. It opened our
minds and our world to technology. Correct, but it was
done in a form to where you had to go

(01:13:28):
to an arcade. You were going to mingle with other
people of your generation, of your age, of your like
You made friends and relationships in these arcades. It gave
kids to do something to do in a positive Kids
were left with somewhere to go to be themselves. It

(01:13:48):
was safe, it was fun, it was a little dangerous.
It was a great meeting place to expand your mind.
Not only do people, but technology give yourself a challenge.
It gave that break where you don't have to be
at home and stuck with your parents. If you had
a bad life at home, your parents were having problems,
maybe you had some drug addiction or alcoholism problems at home.

(01:14:11):
It gave the youth something to do in a positive format,
but to have their own identity and to reach out
there and to deal with people from the face on
which video games nowadays, that's why we have so much bullying.

Speaker 4 (01:14:25):
I'll go on that note really quick.

Speaker 6 (01:14:27):
Because these kids have lost the individual individualism. They've lost
that contact, so it's easier for people to break in
and bully, it's easy for depression to set in. The
term that I really hate, but it's true, and it's
the latch key kids. Where would we be without the

(01:14:48):
eighties We stumbled into that era. We could use that
stuff back nowadays. Innovating, captivating, inspiring, and it brought a
whole lot of you unity in a great, great form
of fun.

Speaker 2 (01:15:03):
I mean, kids used to go to arcades and used
to actually pick up on girls, girls on guys and
maybe just pick Maybe that's where you were going to
meet a great lifetime, lifelong friend. It was also a
place of socialization. I mean it was a place where

(01:15:24):
you could go to socialize and to compete, and it
was friendly. Sometimes you get frustrated, but it was all
in the name of fun. And at the end of
the day when you went to our kids, you felt empowered.
You forgot that the world and its problems existed no
matter what age you were.

Speaker 6 (01:15:46):
Ladies and gentlemen, we are going to play a song
from George Benson and this is the greatest love bla
ball you are listening to. Back to the eighties radio

somewhere you can tell me. He walks on, doesn't look back.

(01:22:26):
He pretends he can't hear her, starts.

Back to the eightieth radio that.

Speaker 2 (01:26:11):
Would be incomparable George Benson with Greatest Love of All which,
as a matter of fact, we remember that incredible song
in the Wonderful Voice of the Angelic Voice of Miss
Whitney Houston followed that up by Phil Collins from nineteen
eighty nine, a song that tackled homelessness in poverty with

(01:26:31):
Another Day in Paradise. You know, Chang, we have come
to that time of the show where we want to
let everybody know that the end is not near. Totally
the contrary, This is not the end. Another election is
not the end, but the beginning of whatever you make

(01:26:51):
it out to be. So in light of that, Chang,
I just want to let everybody listening know that what
we we should be sharing instead of despair, hate or madness,
that we should be sharing love for one another. So,
whether it's the beat of a song or the magic

(01:27:13):
of film of the eighties, I want you guys never
to forget that the eighties gave us more than just nostalgia.
It gave us a reminder that we are not alone
in this crazy ride that we're going through. So until
