Speaker 2 (03:41):
It was fine. Got to meet the new boyfriend. He
seems nice, good, seems nice. I think he'll I think
he'll be fine, a lot better than that last one.
I did tell this one that the next time I see,
if I ever see the old one, yeah, the other,

(04:01):
the last one, I'm gonna punch him right in the face. No,
he goes, why oh, actually he said, who's that?

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Does he?

Speaker 2 (04:13):
I guess not. Derek was in the back of that.
I was riding up front with him because they rented
this big cheap wagon near Grand Wagon ear thing, and
Derek's waiting in the back. He goes, that's my ex.
Kevin's like okay, whatever, too fun.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
So you basically spent how many did you? Just kind
of went up in the snow and just kind of
hung out.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
We did go to Jackson Hole shopping on Christmas Eve,
which was cool. Jackson Hall was really cool. Little town,
real cool little town. It's got a square. You know.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Well, I bet it was cool being with the snow.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
I mean yeah, yeah, anyway, like I was telling, uh,
Catilla while ago, it just was and cold.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah, it's weird. Every now and then Oklahoma will get
that one snow where, like you say, it's warm and
the snow just comes straight down and it's like perfectly quiet. Yeah,
and there's no wind so and the snow muffles the
noise and so it's just kind of a silent cool.
We don't get this very often.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Not not. She's like boring, like, hell, we're around here.
Uh So I was there Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
Was there six days? Yeah? Wow?

Speaker 1 (05:26):
You were gone a while.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and it's kind of
been tough getting back into the swing of things.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
So yeah, and now we yeah and then yeah, I
got my fan like Piper's still at home because school
hasn't started, and Denise has been on and off work
and yeah, so yeah, next week we'll be back to
a regular schedule. And we're heading to California this weekend,
so that's going to really throw my schedule off again.
But yeah, so next week back to normal. But it'll

(05:56):
be freezing.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Yeah, next week'll be cold.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
The big polar Arctic vortex cruising through the United States
next week, I guess.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yeah, And we heard Gretchen. Gretchen's thinking about making a
trip to Oklahoma.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Oh Glaho, wait till uh wait till it's warmer.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
But she'll have to sing the song to get in
the state, so you need to start she does sing,
so yeah, she's going to need to learn our song.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
She'll have to do that skidding. Uh yeah, but don't
come in the winter. It's not it's kind of yucky.
I just yeah, no spring, summer fall, yeah, no, winter,
summer's hot but yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah, but not not too bad. Yeah, And then Dave called,
Dave is missing. Even though we had a fill in
podcasts last week, he still kind of misses the US
keeping everybody updated and answering questions and all that.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
So, yeah, he scared me there for a minute. I
thought maybe I forgot to scheduled two posts, but don't know.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
He was talking about if we remembered flocked Christmas trees
in the seventies. And that's funny because our newest artificial
Christmas tree at home now is flocked.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
We never had a flock one.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
I never had a flocked one in the seventies.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
But what about the sixties.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
I would never have gotten one in the sixties. Probably
considered one in the eighties, But if I was ever
going to get one, it would have been at its
best in the seventies. And why is that, mister.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Wheedler, because that was the greatest that didn't want to.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Man, I feel so good to be back back on
are Oh and another thing, Happy New Year?

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Yeah, actually, happy New Year. We are actually recording this
New Year's Eve.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yeah, we party animals.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah, it's always fun when New Year's Eve falls on
a Tuesday. So I think the only only person we
know it's maybe doing something. It's Christopher Todd Well KP's
singing somewhere, and I think he's going to be at
her wherever she's singing. So he will make an appearance,
hopefully on the but said radio episode tonight, So check

(08:13):
that out after this episode. And then what else, Dave?

Speaker 2 (08:19):
He just asked us, we remembered Christmas parades and Christmas
pageants at school.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
I remember pageants, always had pageants at school. I don't
think Enid, as far as I remember, don't ever remember
Enid having a Christmas parade. Now, I know other towns
did and do, but even today, Enid still doesn't do it.
Christmas parade. Well, you know I say that then now
I'm just I guess light up the planes. Yeah, so

(08:45):
on the day the Friday after thanks Thanksgiving, they have
a a Christmas lights.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Parade, so yeah, it'd be christy.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
I guess it'd be a Christmas PREADEY said, night and
all the vehicles are lighted. But that wasn't in the seventies,
so they just started that, I don't know, just a
few years ago. They started lights up the planes a
long time ago, but they didn't start the light parade
until a few years ago.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Oh really? Yeah? Oh I just thought it's always been there.
No now huh so cool?

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Cool?

Speaker 1 (09:17):
So you were talking about what did you just you
said you, Oh, you were trying to watch Breakfast in
at Tiffany's. Is that like a sixties? I was gonna
say sixties? So that's funny you say that, because last night,
for some weird reason, I wasn't wanting to watch anything
in particular. Plus there wasn't anything on, so somehow I

(09:41):
ended up on Turner Classic Movies, which I rarely watch,
but there was a movie on from the seventies. Then
I thought, well, hell, not only have I not seen
this movie, I've never heard of it.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
What was it?

Speaker 1 (09:54):
It was called The Last of Sheila, So I thought,
I'm going to watch this, so I watched it last night.
From nineteen seventy three. The Last of Sheila is a
seventy three American Who Done It mystery film directed and
produced by Herbert Ross and written by Anthony Perkins and

(10:14):
Steven Sodaheim. It starred Richard Benjamin, Diane Cannon, James Coburn,
Joanne Hackett, James Mason, Ian McShane, and rock hel Welch.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
That's a very big cast.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Yeah, and they're all on a yacht. And now the
movie wasn't very good, but it's just it's kind of cool. Now.
The seventies fashions were awesome. Everything they had on was awesome,
but as far as like a yacht, it was kind

(10:47):
of a kind of a crummy yacht. And then the
acting was a little bit subpar and the writing was awful.
But I don't know, it's you know, something to check
out if you Last of Sila it was called, yeah,
the Last of Sheila. It was almost kind of like
they wanted to be an Agatha Christie.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Sounds like murder Express kind of.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah, but it was way far from that, it was.
But anyway, it was kind of cool getting to see
all those actors who I hadn't seen in a while.
So I may I may start watching a little more
tm TCM TMCMC Turner movie Classic Turner Classic TM is.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
He still married? To watch her face?

Speaker 1 (11:36):
As far as I know, Jane Jane Fonda, Jane Fonda, as.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
Far as I know, Yeah, yeah, good for him.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Anyway. Any other I'm trying to think if we did
any we didn't really do anything super exciting, Uh, just
stayed at home and open to presence. I'm trying to
think of I got a finally got a I don't
know why. I've never had a gimbal before, but got
Osmo gimble It's well, it was really cool. And it's

(12:03):
got a handle with all the buttons on it and
you can push this one button and the it'll follow you,
you know, and then so I don't so kind of cool.
So now one of these days I'll take it out
running and I can run down the trail and show
Dave or whoever wants to somebody, somebody requested I show

(12:24):
the trail, kim member who But it's a trail. Uh yeah,
so I think that's Uh, I'm trying to think any
other big stateon god stateon sent me some I think
they were Star Wars trading cards, which is kind of

(12:47):
funny since we got that Halloween trading card. Yeah, they
found it in an antique shop, I think in Granberry.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
Uh. You have got several Christmas cards from you know,
not up for Buzzhead Radio or seventies bus. I've noticed
people now they they don't send their like they're just
the one card.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Yeah, it's a flat card with a photo.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Yeah, although all of our cards that we got for
the show are the old fold yeah yeah, yeah, but
it is so for yeah, a lot of our friends.
You get on a Shutterfly and you send you upload
a picture and put your family's name on it, and
they send out like a hundred of them and it's

(13:31):
really cheap, and.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
So shutterfly sends them out.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
Actually probably not. They probably order them from Shutterfly. Now,
there probably are some that will send them out for you,
but as far as I know, maybe, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Yeah, that'd be a lot of input in addresses.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Yeah, but I mean you can upload address files, so
I'm sure there's some services out there that will mail
them for you.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
It's too techy for me.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
Techy now that you say techy, I was. I don't
know why. I'm thinking. It's like there's something I'm wanting
to mention, like something I got or gave or something
that's just not I'll probably remember as soon as we
go off air. Oh well, so anyway there, okay, So yeah,
so okay, back to what you've started. The very first

(14:18):
of the show, we lost Jimmy Carter Makata, which is
not surprising because he was one hundred years old, and
if you had seen a picture of him lately, he
was not looking you know, he was looking like a
hundred year old.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
Yeah. Yeah, I didn't look too good.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Yeah. So you know, you know, he's just one of
those guys that he just he really seemed like he
was an awful president. And not that he was like
a bad president. He just hit some of his the
things that he did didn't work out. But as far

(14:54):
as a humanitarian and a person, he may be like
down in history is one of the best ever.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
Like popish or not in October, but mother Teresa Ish.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah, and he lived so dang long after being president.
I don't know that anybody. And now that we're electing
eighty five year old presidents, nobody's ever going to live now,
you know, as long as he did. So that that
does bring up one real quick thing. Now I'm going
to talk about it. I'll talk about it on bus
Said radio. I don't forget a movie con remember Conclave.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
Yeah, oh yeah, I've seen the advertisements for that.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
We'll talk about that on Buzzhead Radio. But yeah, but
so as far as that throwing it to the seventies
real quick, do you remember when a pope would die.
And I don't remember what years all the popes have died,
but do you remember when a pope would die? And
then all the news was covering the smoke coming.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
Up and yeah, different color smoke.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah, and that's what that movie's about. But I kind
of remember, I'm assuming that at least one pope might
have died in the seventies or eighties, because I kind
of remember watching the news back.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yeah, I couldn't take back in the day, couldn't tell you,
but I'm sure they did. Yeah. I always thought, and
I looked it up all ago. I always thought Jimmy
Carter started the seventy to fifty five mile in our
speed limit, but he did Nixon did in seventy four
or seventy three.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Oh yeah, see, I would have probably pinned that on
Carter too.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
Oh yeah, for all this time because I had a
big heavy load on my truck today, so I couldn't
go very fast. I was driving fifty five and I thought, man,
this was the speed limit back in the day.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
Yeah, it was forever to get anywhere.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yeah, And then on the a lot of the cars
on the odometer, the fifty five would be a different caller,
like it'd be like orange circle around it or just
some way to note like don't go past that number.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah, I mean like like if you're putting you on
the this preedomenator in a car, you're like gonna make
this like permanent, permanent.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
Yeah, Monta Carlo's got one.

Speaker 4 (17:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Crazy. Uh So Carter was a thirty ninth president. He
was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in
resolving international conflicts. And yeah, so I'm trying to think
he was. I should have done the math, but yeah,
he was pretty fairly young when he was elected president.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
And he was seventy seventy six he got elected, was it?

Speaker 1 (17:34):
So yeah, I think so it.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Would have been seventy six, So I'll just he.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Just turned one hundred. But do your do your.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
Sight have been fifty two?

Speaker 1 (17:48):
Fifty two? That's pretty god I think about that.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Yeah, we're in our sixties.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah now that I mean, it's like all the more, well,
except Obama was pretty young. So yeah, I wish I'd
go back to the younger guys. These older guys they're
a little too old.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
How was Trump?

Speaker 1 (18:07):
He's either seventy nine or eighty?

Speaker 2 (18:09):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (18:09):
Really yeah, he's right there, So.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Excuse me.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
That's pretty good for well, he's he's yeah, he's better
coherent wise than Biden. But we talk about that on
the other show. We lost another seventies actress today. I
guess it was today. Yeah, no, it was on the
twenty ninth, Linda Eleven. Linda eleven played on Alice.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
Oh what part did she play?

Speaker 1 (18:50):
I'm not sure was? Who was?

Speaker 2 (18:55):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
She was also a Tony winner for Neil Simon's play
Broadway Bound, and stayed active in TV and on stage.
Died at eighty seven years old.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
She was Alice Hyatt.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
So she was Alice.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
Well, I don't remember her on on Alice.

Speaker 3 (19:17):
You don't oh oh oh yeah, wow, she looks a
lot different.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
Yeah. She always kind of thought.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
She was hot back. Yeah when she was Alice.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
Yeah, oh so she was oh wow, far out.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
Yeah, that's that's bad.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
Uh, she was cute.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
I just had something in my head and it just
popped out. What was that poop? I think it was
something more related to bus had Radio, but I wanted
to say it so you would. I will, hopefully I'll
come back something about somebody Alice anyway, Okay, so we're

(20:01):
just going to kind of go over and I think
we did this last year at this time, just kind
of go over some of the people we lost in
twenty twenty four that are related to the seventies, and
we've done episodes on several of them, and then maybe
kind of go over and remind you guys if you

(20:22):
if you don't listen to the show all the time
or every episode, we'll kind of go over some of
the bigger episodes we did over the year, what kind
of zip through them. But Michael Cole, now I don't
remember which guy Michael Cole was from the mod Squad,
but he passed away on December tenth.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
It was the white guy, just because the other way
was link somebody.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
Yeah, but I didn't know if Michael was like, I
don't know if he was like one of the main
one of the main three years. Okay, yeah, so he
passed away at eighty four. Basically this month, I did
not woolry Oh. Game show guy died in November. He
was eighty three, And we never really talked much about

(21:09):
Quincy Jones.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Quincy Jones died.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yep, he died in November at ninety one.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
But it's he wasn't like as big a we. I
don't think we knew much about him in the seventies,
even though he was involved with a lot of music,
But I think he was more famous known to us
in the eighties. And then Terry gar who we I
think we did a whole episode on Terry passed away
in October at seventy nine. Phil Lesh, he was the

(21:44):
drummer for The Grateful Dead. He passed away at eighty four.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Yeah, these musicians are gonna stop drop, They're gonna start dropping.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
A well, well, yeah, that's the deal is every year
that we continue to do the show, it's just gonna
get worse because I mean we're getting older. So the
people that we watched or listened to or at least
twenty years older than us, which is putting him at
that age where. Yeah, So Chris Christofferson at eighty eight

(22:15):
passed away. We did an episode on him. We didn't
do one, like a specific one on James Earl Jones
but passed away at ninety three. Now, oh, he wasn't
in that movie. So two quick things and they're kind
of buzzhead radio related, but he was supposed to be

(22:36):
in a movie that I was in that we filmed
in Pongka City, that I thought was dead because we
filmed it in like twenty seventeen or twenty sixteen. Well
they finally finished it and it's coming out in April
of twenty twenty five. It's called Starbright, So you guys
be on the lookout for Starbright. And then I'm going
to talk about a poster I got from Matthew Modine,

(23:00):
who was the wrestler in Vision Quest. I'll talk about
that on Bushead Radio.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
You got a poster?

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Did you not see that?

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (23:08):
So well I'll talk about that on the next podcast.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
No, you didn't tell me you got a post for Matthew?

Speaker 1 (23:12):
Did you draw? You wrote it down? Matthew Bodine, Matthew Modin,
Modin Bodine, Modin, Bob Newhart. We lost in July from
the New Heart Show, Shelley Duvall. Yeah, poor poor Shelley
died of complications of diabetes in July. She was Olive

(23:36):
Oil in Popeye and then more famously she was in
The Shining But she was also I guess her first
big movie was Three Women in nineteen seventy seven. A
Stanley Kubrick movie. Martin Mole passed away in June. He

(23:58):
was in a lot of stuff in the seven. Donald
Sutherland was in mash passed away in June.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
O J.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Simpson we did a whole episode on OJ.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
I forgot OJ dud.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yeah. Eric Carmen, we did. I think we talked about
He was a former member of the Raspberries and did
All by Myself and Hungry. I say, two good songs
a guy could sing, Want to Be Yeah. Carl weathers
Upon from the Rocky Movies, Oh Yeah, died. He died

(24:32):
almost a year ago in February, at the age of
seventy six, and David Soul Oh, Star Skin Hutch. We
haven't have we done? We haven't like done? Or yeah
we did, we did start. Yeah, we did do a
Star skin Hutch episode. Uh, you can track that down.
He died almost a year ago in January, and sang
his one what was his one song?

Speaker 2 (24:57):
Don't give up on Baby?

Speaker 1 (24:59):
Yeah, let's do. He died at eighty years old. And
Pete Rose, I don't is Pete Rose going to make.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
The Hall of Fame? He batter, That's just wrong.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
He passed away at eighty three, of course, banned for
live for betting on baseball. But I think people have
done some pretty scandalous stuff and they've made some of
those things. So I say put him in. Yeah, put
him in. Pete Rose was a good baseball player.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
He was one of my mom's favorite. She would watch
when this was the living room and the TV be
right here. Boy, she'd be, she'd be, she'd be slapping
the TV. It was weird. I thought, my mom's into baseball.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
That's funny, you know, know that I say that that
I mentioned him. I think we saw him. We went
to Vegas. I can't remember why. I think we just
went to Vegas to hang out with a couple here
from in town. And he was signed. He was there
was a convention thing and he was earning money and
he was in this mall thing to sign stuff and

(26:04):
we saw him. I didn't get a signat he was
charging to get his signature, but yeah, i'd kind of
forgotten then I saw him there interesting him. John Amos
Good Times seventy three to seventy four. He died at
the age of eighty four. At least all these guys,
you know, were making it to their eighties. Phil Donahue

(26:29):
passed away at eighty eight. Margo's watched lots of Don
Hue on the air for nearly thirty years.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
He was a good one to watch.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
He was a good one. You could watch his show
and he wasn't really biased. It didn't seem like I mean,
I know he was more liberal than conservative, but he
didn't throw that in your face until I think maybe
a little bit once his show was off the air.
But during his show he was kind of like one
of those news guys that just gave you the news,

(26:59):
gave you the interviews. Willie Mays died at ninety three,
wow in June, and Bill Walton one of my favorites,
being a Boston Celtic fan. He was the number one
pick overall in nineteen seventy four of the NBA Draft,

(27:20):
played for the Portland Trailblazers, won a championship in ninety seven,
and then in the eighties he was on the Boston
Celtics when it used to be the Celtics and the
Lakers every stinking year for the championship. That was when
I was a huge NBA fan. Died at seventy one
years old in May. Dabney Coleman, Oh, I thought he

(27:45):
died a long time ago. No, he died in May.
I'm trying to think of what he was just I
don't think he was like super well known in the seventies,
but he did a lot of stuff in the seventies.
He was more well known for Nine to five and
Totsie and You've Got Mail. He was ninety two.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
Yeah, So anyway, there's a kind of my list of
some of the bigger name.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
The hell was a stepping over, some knocking over stuff
with money.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
You're doing over there? Are you doing over there? So
then I looked at kind of our episodes over the year,
and so last year, our first episode of the year
was The Whole We talked about The Holdovers, seventies trivia
and listener Mail. The Holdovers was at that was set
in the seventies, that was set at Christmas time of

(28:40):
the kid that got stuck at school with Paul Jimmy.
That's a very that's a I still that's a great movie.
If you guys have not seen The Holdovers, try to
see The Whole over. And actually our second episode of
the year was Starskin Hudge. We must have done it,
probably because David Soule. Yeah, yeah, So we and because

(29:04):
of now, Gretchen must have we must must have popped
up on our radar just a little bit before that,
because like in February of last year, we did Sigmund
in the Sea Monsters. Oh and she she she called
us to correct us, and that's when she started calling

(29:24):
herself a blockhead.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
Yeah, she called us to correct us, but we born incorrect.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
She she, yeah, she had heard heard the name of
the show wrong. So Sigmund and the Sea Monsters. So
and then what did she think? It was? Sigmund? I
can't it was it was something about the and that
was Sigmund Sea Monsters in the in the something. Yeah,

(29:53):
I don't. Somebody today got a Sigmund in the Sea
Monster's lunch pale with matching thermos.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Oh the thermos.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
And I'm trying to think of who it was. It's
one of our listeners, Oh yeah, it was, was it Philip?

Speaker 2 (30:08):
It may have been.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
He's got a huge collection of old metal lunchboxes. He's
got them all upon Philip. Okay, yeah, nice lunchbox, Philip.
That's pretty cool. I mean, if there's one that so
I've got, you know, I've started collecting a few. I
need to stop. I've tried to stop. But if that
one came available, like if I was in a in

(30:32):
a vintage store and I saw that one, that would
be one I would buy Sigmund and the Sea.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
Monsters, apparently as someone related to him things it says
she loa carry says what Oh, she says, I don't
remember the show.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
How can you now remember this show? Well, no telling
how old she is. So if if he didn't grow
up in the seventies, you might not remember the show.
We did, Billy Joel, we did the Gong Show, the
Cook Show, debut albums in the seventies, and so I

(31:12):
did you know. So now I'm doing tiktoks. I'm still
experimenting with the whole It's it's not just TikTok, but
I'm experimenting with vertical video stories and reels and reels
on Instagram. And so basically I'm just doing a video
every morning of the sunrise. And then I've been adding

(31:33):
just good lord, holy moldly, a little bit of trivia,
and a lot of them have been seventies. That's stupid,
right out our window. And so the Poseidon Adventure took
place on New Year's Eve and so I was kind

(31:53):
of looking up see if there was any cool trivia
for Posidon Adventure and the song. Found out that the song.
The morning after, these two guys that basically did nothing
more than wrote songs for movies were hired. And I
don't know if it was a director or producer whoever,

(32:14):
said we need a song for the movie, and we
need it tomorrow. So those two guys wrote that song
in one night. I can't remember her name. The actress
that sang it on in the movie. She sang it
in the movie. They liked it so well they thought, well,
let's make a single out of it and put it

(32:35):
on the radio, and eventually Maureen McGovern who was kind
of not really well known at the time, sang it
and it went to number one. It also won an
Academy Award for Best Song in a Movie. But they
originally offered it to somebody very famous first before Maureene

(33:00):
and she didn't want it.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
And it was that Barbarer Streiss in Oh really yeah,
So I wonder why she didn't want it.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
I don't know, she you know, probably had enough of
her own tunes going on or something.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
But yeah, seventy two, Yeah, she would have been.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Yeah, so that was offered to Barbara streisand back in
the day, can you believe there was enough people? We
did a whole episode on famous bald people in the
seventies that we did.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
Yeah, so, yeah, somebody's in front door something.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
He's either coming to my house or leaving my house,
probably my daughter leaving. We talked about eclipse stuff because
you and I had gone on the Eclipse Chase. And
then we did the Oja episode just trying to find
some big board games that we played in the seventies. Yeah,

(33:52):
I can't believe we hadn't done that one yet, which
is weird. And then somebody had suggested we did the
vans in the seventies, which I think actually turned out
to be a pretty good episode. I didn't know if
we'd be able to figure talk enough because we didn't
have van. We weren't really driving until the late seventies.
Cartoon theme songs is a good episode if you guys
want to go down memory lane. And then we talked

(34:17):
about the old yacht rock. Oh okay, introduced everybody to
yacht rock.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
Yeah yeah, and that's become a pretty big thing.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
Yeah, so we've got I can't think of their name.
We've got a fairly famous yacht rock group coming to ENID.
I don't know what month, but that.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
Might if you guys are it's like in June.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
I was gonna say, it's a ways away, so that
might be a good time to come to ENID is
to go listen to yacht rock. Because our venue for
concerts is big but small. So there's it's big because
you know, you can get three thousand or four thousand
people in there, but it's small enough that no matter

(34:58):
what seat you get, you're you can see and hear
and everything's cool.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
So that's good size.

Speaker 5 (35:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
Bizarre and strange deaths of celebrities in the.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
Seventies, Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
That was an interesting one. And then TV and movie
animals that we loved, you know, the Old Flipper and
Lassie and the whole gang. Sci Fi in the seventies.
I don't know why we hadn't done sci Fi before,
So anyway, you guys get on there. Jackson five Breakfast Cereals?

(35:36):
How did we not do breakfast cereals before? Chris Christopherson?

Speaker 5 (35:41):
We did, and Terry Garr and then we talked about
how somebody came up with our generation calling us generation Jones.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
I still see a lot of people just skipping right
over Jones and they're.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
Saying X or yeah, but yeah, and we're just kind
of like right there. And that's why they came up
with generation Jones because some of us feel like we're
boomers and some feel like your Generation X And then
I don't feel like we're either. We're not Gen xers,
and I felt like my mom and her friends were

(36:19):
more boomers, even though my mom was actually a little
before the boomers.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
But yeah, you don't want to be in the same
generations as your parents.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
Yeah, yeah, So if you guys don't know what Generation
Jones is, check out that episode. And then we kind
of got into the whole Christmas and Grinch and all that.
So anyway, thank you guys for keeping it going. My
wife ask us at dinner tonight, how long you guys

(36:47):
been doing this, and twenty seventeen. We've been doing it
for a while, so some of you that have been
around for a long time, we appreciate you listening.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
And then it just blew my mind that Styton pulled
up Dave's.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
Yeah, yeah, how the heck did he do that? Well,
that's why he's pulling off all that data so he
can do that. So Styton, we need you need to
like pick a date in twenty twenty five when you
think you've got as much data. This would be really interesting,
and we're going to do an episode with you on

(37:25):
the show, and maybe we'll even do it when you
come to enit, or we'll come down there and we'll
just we'll go over all of the data and Stateton
will tell us like what episode we started saying greatest decade,
and how many episodes Dave's called in. I mean, we'll
have all the stats that Stanton's been keeping track of.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
So we've done three hundred and seventy episodes. Spreaker says
that we started eight years ago.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
It might have been maybe it I don't know, was
it twenty sixteen? It may have been. I just I
don't know why I was think a twenty seventeen.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
I thought it was too State's trying to tell us
right now.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
Yeah, he's screaming at his device. Yeah, so that'll that'll
be a fun episode to go over all the uh huh,
the stuff.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
I'm trying to scroll down to the bottom here, but
it takes a while. When you're doing three hundred and seventy.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
Well, yeah, the first episode is going to have to
have a date, so that'll tell when we started.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
Then we did that other podcast.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
Or yeah, we actually we actually started Bushead Radio. Our
first episode on Bushead Radio was a Seventies Buzz episode
and then we thought, well that was kind of cool,
let's just turn that into a podcast as well. So
we actually started podcasting before we started doing the seventies buzz.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
H It was June twenty fourth, twenty seventeen. So I
don't know why it says eight years.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
Yeah, well maybe I don't. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Interesting anyway, it seems like yesterday.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
We've been doing it a while and that building still
sits empty. So our first studio, Hey bus.

Speaker 4 (39:11):
Hits Curtis Tucker here with us Seventies Buzz, the podcast
about the greatest decade.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
Known to man.

Speaker 4 (39:19):
Intro episodes, memories, forgotten fads, and reminders of yesteryear. This
week's podcast is all about licking, sticking, saving, collecting, and
cashing in on those tiny little green rewards we knew
as S and H green stamps.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
Yeah, so so if he didn't know in our first
several episodes. We had intros. We had every week there
was a different intro. We don't do that anymore. Well,
we have our so we we had to come up
with a set intro because we got yelled at so
much for getting things wrong. I mean, we were getting

(39:57):
hate mail. It was like, and review, you know, I haven't.
I don't know that we I haven't checked reviews in long.
I wonder if we've gotten any new reviews on anything.
I haven't not. That's funny that I haven't checked reviews
in like, I don't know how to do that. I
bet a year. Let me see, Well we got how
much do we How are we doing on time?

Speaker 2 (40:16):
Ok?

Speaker 1 (40:18):

friends that I need to check in with daily. They

(41:02):

you name it. They remember it, not always one hundred
percent accurately to say, and he says, they remember the
seventies like I remember the seventies because it was the
greatest decade known to man. Well, thanks, Hassman, Hassman, Hassman.
