Speaker 2 (02:01):
Two weeks. It'd be two weeks. It's actually two weeks,

you were going for nine days. And where did I go?

I left Friday, came back. Yeah, it's like twelve days
I was gone and my yard was.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Like, I noticed it looked like you cut it.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Yeah, no, I need to go out and bail the
bail all the stickers.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
You need a bayler.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Oh. So I got home this afternoon about about one
thirty or two, and my neighbor's yard looked better than mine.
I was like, oh, we'll have none of that. Oh
my so, and luckily it's not been hot down here,
it's been really nice. But yeah, I digress.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
You guys hit us up at five eighth five for
one three eighth five or buzzabusedmedia dot com and uh,
since we have been gone for a while, I got
some email. Oh well, Dave called, but Dave, Dave's was
all buzz head radio.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
He was all bus If you want to know what
Dave said or asked or mentioned or talked about, listen
to Buzshead radio.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
And then other than that, we didn't get any phone calls.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I guess I guess everybody knows.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
I think we kind of warned people that were so.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
And they got you know, just wait, they've called.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Dave called, Dave called. But we did get emails. So
let's see. We got uh oh and we got a
package from Richard Kuavis. We will divulge it next week.
Next week on Facebook Live. We got Stayton coming to
Inena this weekend to record the Data episode which will
(03:51):
be played after the week after the Facebook Live week.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
But Richard emailed. He said, Hey, Curtis and Todd great
Land few episodes. Paul McCartney and Wings were great during
the seventies. I would say my favorite song of theirs
now is with a Little Luck. Great songs back in
the seventies. He liked Silly Love Song. Yeah, all those
songs are great, all of them. I bought Wings Greatest
(04:17):
LP sometime in seventy nine onto Jaws. I clearly recall
seeing Jaws at the theater. I remember which theater it
was as well. We had about six theaters here back then,
and two drive ins. And then he says, I sent
you a package via ups. It's in a cardboard tube
and I got it Richard, so we will divulge that.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Oh sounds like it's Jaws related. Maybe not.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Actually yeah, did you open it? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
What? Well?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Because it wasn't like because but I had I haven't
like looked at it. Fine, whatever, I just opened it,
but I haven't like looked at it.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
But oh yeah that way, okay, let me excell it better.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
It's okay, So anyway, I don't care. So that Richard
and then that gal from Zimbabwe. Yeah, she emailed. She says.
While at work, I listened to true crime podcasts and
heard a few about the Lady of the Dunes, and
I when I was doing the listening to the crime
(05:23):
podcast I remember the stories of the Lady of the
Dunes as well. In the seventies, a lady's body was
discovered in the dunes at Cape Cod. She was wearing
shorts and a bandana top. For years, no one knew
she was. Joe Hill was watching Jaws and saw in
the crowd a woman fitting her description, and law enforcement
started looking into it. It was until recently that she
(05:47):
was identified. I don't remember if I knew she was
ever identified or not. I'll have to look at this.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Back in the seventies.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah, well, no, it must have been if she was
in the movie. Oh, she couldn't have been murdered that
far after, otherwise how would you have known she was
in the Yeah, so it must have been in the seventies.
Oh so anyway, thanks for that. Yeah, I'll have to
reinvestigate that.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Because the Lady of the Dooms.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, because she was she was a Jane Doe, and
so they just called her the Lady of the Dunes
because they didn't nobody knew who she was.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Oh, kind of reminds me of have you ever heard
now that this will be for buzz ladyword Lake serial Killer. No, okay,
keep that under your hand.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Guys, head on over to buzs Oh, it's a it's
a huge one here, all about that.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
And then Robert Abbott Marco from Phoenix. He's he's emailed before.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Hey, Robert, he.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Says, I'm a bit behind on your shows, having just
listened to Summersong episode from a few weeks ago. You
mentioned a fifth of Baitthoven. I remember playing drums on
that song in my high school jazz band.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Anyway, the instrumental. Yeah, yep.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I recently found the entire album. I didn't even know
there was an entire album because Connie had the forty
five and it didn't even dawn on me that there
would have been an album. But I guess there was
because he sent pictures. He says, here's the pictures of
the cover. Todd was right in noting the power of
memory associated with songs to take you back to win
(07:26):
and where you heard them. Thanks Robert, Phoenix, AZPS. I
should be on your map in Gold Canyon, Arizona, and
Robert you are. I looked and you are on there. Awesome, awesome,
And then I think this is a new I don't
remember Darren peck He could have, but Darren pecky meld.
(07:46):
He says, the chunky bar was offered with Did I
read this last time with or without raisins? Wasn't a
big fan? Maybe I read that one already.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Oh okay, okay, I do remember it now that it
was without raisins.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
He said. Also love the Charleston chew vanilla chocolate or
strawberry frozen and then smashed into pieces.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, yeah, no, you didn't read this before, but no, okay, okay,
that's why I said when we did that podcast, I'm
like the chunk he had raisins. I would not have
eaten it. Apparently it was available with that raisin. Yeah,
kind of like almonds or or almond Joy's got nuts
my owns, don't.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I just don't remember like seeing a version with raisins.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah, but I you know, I.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Would I like raisins. I would, I would hate it.
I would, Okay. And then that's all of the emails
except I got one other email, which is a secret.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
I can't tell you it was from why.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
But it's about.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
It's about, it's about.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
It's about that song that you got on the computer
over there, probably out of play any.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Does that mean it's time? That means it's time this
Jesus died.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
This is for our faithful listener, mister Jim Hammond. How's
gonna say? Are we hearing that?
Speaker 2 (09:13):

but he was born in nineteen seventy one.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Oh, he's a young man.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
He is a young man. Oh but yeah, so uh
fifty four, somebody, somebody sneakily might have emailed us your
birthday information.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
So whatever you do, don't go to uh uh like
a Mexican place on your birthday and they're gonna put
that stinky sombrero in your hat. That everybody else in
the Tiger County, all the other people with licener air
was worned, not dirt, not dirt. So spray some lysol
on anyway, Well, happy birthday, brother.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Happy Birthday. And then Christopher Todd. We hope you caught. Uh,
somebody told him that we'd played his birthday last week.
But for some reason you you said something like did
he say he was fifty six or fifty seven? And
then you went with fifty seven but he was only
(10:36):
fifty six.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I didn't say that.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I went back and listened. Yeah you did.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Oh okay, So whatever, I was trying to figure out
how I where that number comes.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I was gonna say, I don't remember. He must have
told us on the phone or it's some I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
So how old is he now?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Fifty six?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Oh? Okay, it's close. So what's the year when you're
in your fifties? Whatever? Wait, do you get to your
It's all down there.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Yeah, all your young out there.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Okay, speaking of young, Oh my gosh, so many people
passing away.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I know, scary, it's dude, but I mean, every celebrity
on earth has died in the last two weeks. But
then I'm dealing with my nephew and that couple here
in town, and then a guy I know, his wife
went in for kind of minor surgery and she ended up.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
It's just crazy that that one really would have sucked.
I mean, I mean they all suck. But yeah, yeah,
So we're.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Going to Kansas City on the twenty eighth. They're having
instead of having a funeral for my nephew who owned
the Mean Meal distilling company in the bar, instead of
having a funeral for him, they're going to have a
celebration and everybody, we're all going to meet at this
venue and they're gonna have music and all his favorite drinks.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
And yeah, that's what you should do that stuff, So
that's what you should do. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
So anyway, oh my goodness. So, uh, tonight's episode was
the suggestion from Jeffrey Jeffrey Jeffrey and uh, basically, triggers
or things today the trigger memories or throw you right
(12:29):
back to the seventies. So we kind of made out
our own little lists of what what triggers us.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, and I was going through thinking of these triggers,
and we've talked about almost all of these things.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
But then as I like, because I messaged you earlier,
like last week, and I'm like, what do you want
to do? Because I had a lot of time on
my hands because I was just dog sitting and playing
with the dogs and hanging out on the pool. I
did go to some movies. We'll talk about that on
Buzzet radio. But uh, on the way back, you know,
(13:09):
it's a seven hour drive, I had this idea.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I was like, you know, you can, you can list
all these things that are triggers. Yeah, I look minds
on my phone and look at that, because I didn't
have a paper mine seah, mine's electrical. I don't know anyway.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
So I was like, triggers of the senses, that's kind
of that's kind of what mine are, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
But specific, more specific, And I'll say I'll save my
list and see what. See how yours comparison? Mind of
the senses gotcha? Because I mean something. You know, a
lot of mine are generic, like uh, posters, you know,
(13:56):
posters from the seventies, those are I mean that triggers
me like black light posters, Yes, you don't see black
light posters anymore, or the gurly posters. Do they do
gurly posters anymore?
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I not that where would you even buy a poster?
I don't even know where you would buy it.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Yeah, because the arcade guy he's gone. Now.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yeah, I mean Wilco. We used to buy them at Wilco.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yeah, but yeah, so online. I suppose everything's online, I guess.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yeah. So so anyway, these are gonna be triggers, the
trigger memories of the seventies. Now, we could have done
like I've been watching again, I've been watching a lot
of Leave It to Beaver, don't Dang. We could have
done triggers of the fifties and sixties. And then there's
little triggers that remind me of high school and college
(14:44):
from the eighties. But all the best triggers, mister Wheeler,
are those triggers from the seventies. And why because I
was the greatest. I don't go mine, Yes was okay, well, okay,
so here's here's my number one onegger without fail, this
trigger every time this happens, zapp, I'm back in the
(15:05):
seventies music. Well no, oh, really, freshly cut grass and
it's not just because it's the hot weather, because most
people only cut their grass in the summertime. So it's
a combination of the summer heat, the sound of a lawnmower,
and the smell of that freshly cut grass. I mean,
(15:28):
I literally when I go out on the trail in
the afternoon. Sometimes that's like my favorite thing in the
world is to walk by somebody that's out cutting their
grass because I'm like, Bam, sends me right back to
the seventies, and then it gives me more ideas for
my book. So that that's kind of like, so that's
why my number one trigger, number one freshly cut grass,
(15:49):
because it reminds me not only of the seventies, but
summers in the seventies.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Summers. Yeah, I can see that. So yeah, like chlorine
in the swimming pool exactly. I didn't write that down.
I wrote that down now. Okay, So when we're saying triggers,
is it something that something that you come across or
just kind of happens or yeah, that's what I.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Was thinking, Like, like, because we remember everything from the seventies,
but it's like, well, if I'm somewhere and I see
a girl in bell bottoms, bell bottoms, sure that reminds me.
Sure it throws me to the seventies. It reminds me
of the seventies.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
It's kind of you trigger. She's got to be wearing them.
It's not just me thinking of bell bottoms. It's when
somebody's wearing them, and I see them wearing them.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yeah. See, some of mine are like you don't see anymore.
But if I were to see them, it would trigger me.
Now I got you.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Now, I see where you're going.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yeah, like colored notebook paper, Oh yeah, it's it's like pink.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
But if you yeah, I see what you're saying. If
you saw it, you would throw you back to the seventiesh.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Like pink and blue and green and oh yeah, all.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Kinds of colors. Kind of like now, see I haven't
seen colored toilet paper, right, but if I saw a
colored toilet.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Paper that was right above my colored, it would throw
me back to the seventies. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
So my list is more the stuff that actually has
triggered me.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Okay, well that's okay, that's my that's in my triggers
of the senses. Okay, yeah, you remember that if you
were to see did you guys ever have like peel
and stick bathtub?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Oh yeah, the little seventies? What was that show dating
game flowers?
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, or you could or sometimes it
would be like animals or whatever. So you about them,
which I don't know why they quit doing that, because.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
No, they still they have them, because remember when I
had the blue surfboard on my I found in a
store a packet of those and I stuck those on
my surfboard. So they still make them. Where's that surfboard
at in my garage? Oh, here's one that just happened
(18:17):
the other day. The smell of cooking hamburgers on a
grill but using Kingford charcoal and the charcoal fluid smell.
Oh yeah, because not as many people use Kingford charcoal
anymore because they've got the pellets and the.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Gas and yeah, especially especially if you're just hamburgers. But
now there's diehard guys that do like briskets and you know,
the big chunks of meat that they smoke for like,
yeah days or whatever.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
And I'm talking like just burgers. The smell of the
burger with the brickets and yeah, that's definitely a seventies
of trigger from me.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yeah, so I remember back in the day in the seventies,
we uh right here in the backyard. I don't know
where Dad came up with it, but there was a
fifty five gallon drum that someone cut in half, put
hinges on it and had wheels in a handle, and
uh in the summertime. I don't know if it's because
it was hot and we didn't want to heat up
the house, so he would, like a lot of times,
(19:23):
he would cook tater steaks and eggs. That's what them.
It was just fry taters and friday pan on there.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, interesting. Yeah, we had tater steaks
and eggs, and I thought that was just the coolest
thing there was. It's perfect, it's perfect.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
It was my mom got fancy and bought a high
botchy oh, one of those funky little and had the
two little squares square. Yeah, she would, but she would
put the Kingsford charcoal in there now and then put
those on there and cook our burgers on it. You
could raise them a little, yeah, yeah, yeah, So that's
(19:59):
where that come mom cooking the burgers outside on the hipotchi.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
You know, when I got old enough to cook, I
just didn't have the patience for the charcoal. I mean,
there's diehard charcoalers.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah yeah, I saw. I say, you don't catch a
whole lot of people using charcoal anymore.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Oh Kip is diehard, is he? Yeah? He constantly has,
and they come in two packs like that that I
don't know, like twenty pound bags and they're bundled up together.
He's got two of those in the garage all the time. Now,
back in the seventies, speaking a grilling, my brother for
Christmas bought my dad a gas not not propane, it
(20:43):
was natural gas. And it was right off the deck.
You can still see where there was a cutout for
the on the deck. And it had lava rocks.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Oh my mom had my mom bought one of those
too that had lava rocks.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Yes. Did it run off gas?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
No, it ran off one of the little green propane.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Okay, So this was a big one. I mean it
was like and the and the LoVa rocks become seasoned
the more you use them. And I'm like, now, times
have gotten a lot better at this point in time.
So Dad was constantly cooking steaks and there I do
remember there's a point in time and I was like Dad,
I mean I was like probably fourteen fifteen or whatever,
(21:23):
my dad eating steaks all the time. Can we hear
like birds? Give me some give hot dog? Yes, yeah,
just anything other than steaks. But uh yeah, that's some
times were good. Did you ever do or do you
ever see I guess I should put it that way,
(21:43):
like the denim work shirts that had not need a
point shoot. I heard the term on the radio coming
up this afternoon, So you would you would get a
denim T shirt again, a denim shirt, button.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Up shirt, yeah, long blue blue denim shirt.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
My mom would so patches on it for me.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Patches. But what we did was she got the little
hoop and you would there was an inside hooping.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
And I don't have any embroidery type and broardery.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
That's what we do. Yeah, you would embroidery designs and
stuff on it.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
We never did, but my mom sewed the heck out
of patches on them.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember. We used to patch my
tough voice, tough boys, tough guys, tough skins to skids, yeah,
patch to patch the knees. Yeah. I was embarrassed. I
didn't like those.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Yeah every time, And this does not happen very often,
But when I'm driving around and eat it and I
see a group like I'm talking anywhere from three or
more kids on bicycles or skateboards, immediately I think of
us back in the seventies because you just you just
(22:58):
don't see groups of kids zip around on bikes together
or skateboard very often now and then.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I do, oh yeah, gosh, yeah, they're all inside playing
their damn video Oh yeah, good old for video games. Uh,
muscle cars. You know, that's that's that's kind of generic.
I mean, the thing about I guess the thing about
my list was I was thinking, like stuff you don't
see so much now, like doorway beats. I was looking
(23:30):
for doorway beats for this right here. Oh yeah, yeah.
I couldn't find them anywhere. This is the closest I
found in there.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
It's it's a I'll have to look up where I
found mine, because I found them somewhere in between my two.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah, we actually used to have them here in the
house when the front door was right here. In that
which which now is the entryway was an office. Actually
it was a bedroom before that, but I digress.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Yeah, and that's why I bought the beats, because they
remind me of the seventies.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Now.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Yeah, so well, I mean, this one's real obvious, and
I do this on purpose. You guys could think I'm
a little weird, but part of part of it's because
I'm writing the book. But I'll try when I go
to the post office.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Every day.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
I basically drive home up West Broadway just so I
can go through the neighborhood every day. And so driving
through West down West Broadway reminds me of the seventies
every time. It's like it never never gets old, or
it never it never doesn't remind me of I mean,
I can pick out exact spots of where there used
(24:35):
to be a tree or a bush, or that's where
we threw that, or that's where we our bikes land,
you know, I mean every spot. I can find a
spot every time I drive drive down West Broadway.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
It's amazing how trees come and go.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Yeah, or bushes especially, Yeah, I mean the bush and tree. Look,
it's so much different than we were kids, just on
those two blocks.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Turquoise jewelry, Oh yeah, no, I don't. Do you remember
me wearing jewelry?
Speaker 1 (25:09):
I kind of do, yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
And I had some turquoise. I wish I knew where
that stuff was. I had a turquoise ring. I think
I had a turquoise bracelet, and then I had some
kind of necklace. I was back in the there was
a time there I was all blinged up. Of course
I haven't done all that and forever I kind of
remember that. Yeah. Yeah, So if I see someone wearing turquoise,
(25:32):
my uncle has a really nice turquoise ring, and I
hope you don't take it with you. It's like, hey,
you know, what do you think about it? Leave it
that around? You know, he does have wondering that he
has taken with him. Oh, he's gonna get a cremated
(25:53):
dick anyway.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
It's not made out of gold, is it. You know,
gold's going to twenty five thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Now, really, who's back? He could though, absolutely could. Who knows.
That's for another episode. That's for another podcast.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Okay, And so we all know that songs because we
mention it all the time. But here's one, two, three, four,
These these five songs. Without a doubt. Whether whether I
like him or not, I could hate these songs. It
doesn't matter. These songs take me back to the seventies
in five seconds. Suntimes, Sunshine on my shoulders Shine because
(26:32):
Stayton sang it all the show. Yeah, I mean you
know when we first met, I mean that he was
singing because he was doing it for a competition deal,
So he was singing it all the time.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Seasons in the Sun.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I knew that Terry Jack was coming up.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yeah, I think my sister had the forty five, the
nice Chicago Died Done, Paper Lace Yep, and Billy Don't
Be Hero, and then Hot Child in the City because
of the juke box at Ken's Pizza Pizza. So, I mean,
but you know, there's like a million other songs, but
these songs are just are super triggers of the seventies.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Okay, So and my triggers of the senses list I got. Okay,
so what I did, I'll just go ahead and do
it right now. So sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch.
That's basically our five senses. Yeah, sootky, okay, So site,
when I see something? What what just triggered? Bail Bottoms?
Speaker 1 (27:38):
I got forty five records on mine. When I see
a forty five, I think.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Oh yeah. Seventies sound obviously music, but specifically the band
there's a specific man and they're they're still around, but
they you don't hear of them a lot. They haven't
made a lot like you know, Aerosmith, Foreigner, all those guys,
It'll kiss all those guys in the seventies, they've continued
(28:05):
to make music but when you listen to and they
did a lot of songs, but when you listen to
the band ten CC, Oh yeah, yeah, that's like it's
like nineteen seventy five. Bam right there.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
What about cicadas?
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Cicadas?
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Oh yeah, yeah, when I hear the screaming cicada, I mean,
especially when they're loud. Yeah, because we didn't have air conditioning. Yeah,
so I had to leave the door the window open
with the box van. But they are so loud you
could still hear them over the box van. But that
takes me always back to the summers of in the seventies.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
That's what my tenetus sounds like. Cicadas. Oh really, yeah,
I'm here right now. Smell smell? What kind of smell?
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I've got one right here?
Speaker 2 (28:54):
What's that?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
The smell of gasoline when my mom would get out
and put gasoline in the car.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Yeah, the smell of.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Gasoline reminds me of the seventies when mom would put
gas in the car.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Okay, we kind of liked it.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
It was kind of one of those smells that you
kind of.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Like, yeah, yeah, that's true. I agree my smell. Actually,
I had I first thought the smell that triggered me
to the seventies. The most and I I did away
with it was cigarette smoke.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
It actually reminds me of my mom smoking in the car.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Yeah, in the car, Yeah, because you couldn't get away
from it. Oh no, it was got awful, but.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
In a weird way. When I smell it today, it's
kind of a weirdly comforting smell because it reminds me
of spending so damn much time in the car with
my mom.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
I remember getting low down on the floorboard. We'd be
along trip trying to get away from it. I would
beg the parent, would you please crack with No? Luckily,
luck we never.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Went on long trips. This is like just her driving
me around time.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Oh no, we'd go to a skogie yeah, and they'd
be like chain smoking in that damn car' Oh my god. Uh.
You know cars nowadays don't have ash trays. No, I'm wondering.
I was thinking about this on the drive up, but
I meant to research it, Like when did they quit
putting twofold? When did they quit putting ash trees in cars?
(30:25):
Like regularly? And I know people today smoke in cars.
They're smokers that smoke in their cars today, where do
they what do they do with their cigarette butts and
flick their ashes?
Speaker 1 (30:37):
I'm guessing out the window.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Don't do that. Don't do that. That's not good. That's
not good. So my smell that I just I landed
on was remember going to like contemporary sounds and turntable
new stereo equipment and albums and albums. They just had
a really cool smell.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
And another smell I had on my list incense. Oh yeah,
anytime you smelled incense, it was kind of like either
somebody was smoking dope pretty close trying to trying to
cover it or yeah, or you just bought incense just
but yeah, I don't, I don't.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
I guess.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
I'm sure they still sell it, but I never nobody
that I know burns incense anymore. It was just kind
of a seventies thing.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Yeah, No, the kids nowadays do. Matter of fact, when
I was just this just this last week, when I
was staying with actually I wouldn't staying with there. I
was staying out there in Kevin's house with the dogs.
He had a uh in the room I stayed in,
he had one of those long oh yeah, yeah, with
a hole in it. So the kids. Now, are you know?
(31:41):
I remember we're doing the cone, the little cone. Yeah,
they seem to last longer again, I don't know. Yeah,
So so that was my sight. Bell bottoms my sound.
The band tend CC because they had a they had
a special sound. And they're still they're still out there,
they're still turning, but they haven't done anything anything new forever.
(32:01):
I don't know if they did anything new after the seventies.
I don't think. Some things we do from love anyway.
And then smell, Okay, I struggled with these last two taste.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
What taste triggers you.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
To the seventies?
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Well, I just so happened to have one, right, Yeah,
I knew you TV dinners with that nasty Salisbury steak.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
No, those were great.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Well, if I and I have eaten. When I taste
that salisburry steak, it takes me back to the seventies.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
You got to cook them all the way though. Yeah,
so if you don't cook them all enough, they're kind
of frozen inside and then the grave is kind of gooey.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Gel almost.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Yeah. It was a gelatinist gelatiny, Yeah, gelatiny gelatiny.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Yeah. But that yeah, that was definitely a taste from
the seventies.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Okay, so I I gosh, I pondered a lot about this.
My taste that sends me right back is pecan pi.
Not really, yeah, because I bet since the seventies, I've
probably had maybe a dozen pieces of pecan pie. But
(33:19):
during the holidays, especially Thanksgiving, my mom would say, she
would all of us kids. She would say, Okay, everybody,
tell me what kind of pie they want, and she
would make everybody a pie. And I always ask for pecompi.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Interesting, Yeah, put caramel on it.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Nope, just no, I didn't put caramel on my pecan pi.
I just had straight old because it was sweet enough,
I mean, super sweet. And so to this day, when
I take a bye to Compi, I wish I could
find some pecan pi right now. No ice cream, nothing
like that. Just pecompi takes me right back to this eties,
(34:01):
you know, because you got to remember Mom didn't make
it out of the I mean she passed away in
early eighty one, so yeah, she was. She was all
about seventies. That's when I when I think about her. Yeah.
And then touch, if you is there something that you
(34:24):
touch that just sents you right back?
Speaker 1 (34:27):
I kind of got to two things. Yeah, shag carpet
because I you know, I put shag carpet in my studio,
So I got that thick yellow. And then corduroy there
it is right there, quarter cordroy because I buy corduroy
shorts now. But the only reason is, I think, because
it reminds me of the seventies. Yeah, so corduroy shorts
(34:49):
and shirts and jeans.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
And that's what I picked out there as far as
my sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch and and go
along with the I don't know if you ever had this,
but my grandparents had a couch that had these. I
remember the arms of the couch were real flat. It
was a green couch, and they had these weird raised
(35:15):
almost cordory like, but they weren't in the line. They
were like they were like I don't know, hash or whatever,
like some of the race parts that go you know,
left to right and then right next to them. And
I remember taking my finger and being able to draw Yeah,
and it just kind of like running through the because
I said, I was bored as hell because there was
(35:35):
on my grandparents' house and wasn't nothing to do, you know,
that was. That was a pretty big touch. What about now?
Speaker 1 (35:43):
I think you had one after the seventies. But for me, waterbeds,
so you absolutely. Anytime I happened to run into a
waterbed somewhere and I sit on it, it reminds me
of the seventies because the only time I ever sat
on a waterbed was literally in the seventies.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Yes, number two and I got a waterbed after we
got married.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
That was.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
That was an eighty four. I thought you had a waterbed,
Oh yeah at some point for quite a while, for
quite a while. Yeah. Yeah, they're terrible, don't There's there's
nothing good about a waterbed. Yeah. Whoever thought that of
was either an evil genius or psychotic, I don't.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Know, kind of crazy.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Finding turtles reminds me of the seventies. If I'm out
on the trail and turtles crossing this.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
I'm like, oh wow, turtle from Yeah, I remember having
a turtle that he must have migrated around, because at
one point in time, we didn't paint a whole turtleshell
because you shouldn't do that. It's bad for because that's
like their skin. But we had one of the girls
had taken a nail polish and like put like a
I can't remember if they put a letter or something
(36:57):
on that. And every year, that damn turtle would just
and he would like, you know, we'd find him cruising
down the driveway over there, I would say, every year.
I'm assuming he did it every year, because yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
They say they don't go any further than a mile
from wherever they're born.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Oh yeah, no, this guy, yeah, he is a box turtle.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Not not.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Not don't throw him in the water.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Not a terrapin.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
He was a terrapin. That's what he was. Yes, yes,
And for the longest time we thought they were. I
never threw a terrapin in the water. I knew better
than that.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
When people say certain words like far out, groovy or
right on, it kind of reminds me of the seventies. Yeah, yeah,
and black and white TVs. God, which there's fewer and fewer,
But every now and then you'll be in somebody's house
and they're odd little TV in the laundry room or
the kitchen will be black and white and it'll be.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Like, oh wow, I can't remember which child of mine
it was, but it had been I don't think it
was Jeremy. It had been Tanna and Justin and now
that I mean Tanna just turned forty this year, justin
thirty eight. He'll be thirty nine in December. I think
it was them, one of them that asked me when
(38:16):
they invented color, because you know, they would see people
watching old black and white and then black and white photographs.
They're like, when did they invent color? I'm like, what
do you mean, like, because you know, look at all
these you know, there's no color.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
Well, it is kind of weird because I've been going
through some of the mom's old pictures and they're all
black and white, and and even seeing old pictures of
Enid's it just seems like it's different. But it looked
exactly like, yeah, like it does today. Then you just
can't imagine that everything was actually in color colors. It
(38:53):
is a little weird.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
Yeah, and what kind of colors?
Speaker 1 (38:56):
I mean, were they very well know, I wouldn't say,
as they.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
Had to be kind of dried just because of well.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
I think most people, like if you look at the clothes,
everybody had on dark gray, black, dark blue clothes anyway, Yeah, yeah,
not a lot of people and in all cars were
like pretty much black.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Yeah yeah, yeah, or something not a yellow, not a
lot of yellows or reds or white.
Speaker 4 (39:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
No wood paneling. If I go into somebody's house and
they've got wood paneling, the old that covered the whole wall,
it reminds me of the seventies.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
God, there's so much paneling back of the day.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
It was everywhere. It still is in some of the
older neighborhoods.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Yeah. Yeah, I used to be in here, but this
wasn't the This room didn't have the the thin paneling.
It had the three quarter inch naughty pine tongue in
group paneling, which I saved. It's in the it's in
the bedroom with the what's that thing we do subscreen machine?
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Yeah, interesting macromay Oh yeah, everything, yeah, especially if it's
an owl.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Yeah yeah, yeah. Yeah. We did a lot of hanging pots.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
I've been thinking about doing some hanging pots around the studio.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Really. Yeah, Well, you'd have to hang it because you
don't have any room to set se anymore.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Well, no, I'm put more on the outside. I'm thinking.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Oh. Yeah. So this was about the time we were
doing the Embardery that we decided we call it. Yeah,
and then we got into Macromay, and I remember doing it.
I couldn't do it right now to save my soul.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
I don't think I ever did. I know, Grandma got
into it and she loved owls, so there was like
owl Macromay everywhere.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
You had the little stick.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
Yeah, with the little stick. Looked like he was sitting
on the stick.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Oh yeah, we did the We did the potholders, that's
all I remember doing. And then put a plan in
it and hung in this room right here.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
Interesting in the day, and that well, that that alone
is you know, it seems like everybody had more plants
in their house. So you know, so if you go
into a house and it's got a lot of plants,
it kind of is a memory of the seventies. Yeah,
don't see that as much.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Do you ever go to anybody's house anymore and see
carpet in the bathroom not too long ago you did, Yeah, Mom's.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
House, Mom's house, and not only carpet, but carpet on carpet.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
And then carpet in the kitchen. Yeah yeah, I mean,
what the hell were they thinking? Yeah, just and then
the carpet or not carpet, but then they would like
the toilet seat.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Oh, carpeted toilets.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
We went carpeted. It was like getting knitted something or rather.
Speaker 1 (41:46):
Well, I remember like shag, I remember shag toilet Yeah. Yeah,
it was more like the hair of a troll. Yeah,
fuzzy yeah what yeah, talk about yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
It goes along with the colored toilet paper and all
that stuff. I think colored toilet paper came a little
bit later though. Yeah, and oh my god, I thought
about but carpet shag. I'm a toilet Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
A polkashell necklace. If I see a dude, dude, we're
in a pooka poka shell. Yeah, necklace, I think, I think, dude,
I think like the Sepeties.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Yeah yeah, Mark Mankin always had a pookah shell. Oh yeah,
they well, they went to they went to Hawaii. Yeah,
they used to go walk on the places they'd go to. Yeah,
they went all over the place when they were kids.
And they come back and tell me about it.
Speaker 4 (42:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
Uh oh like uh, colored kitchen appliances that's.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
On my list right here, like the avocado and mustard.
Speaker 2 (42:51):
Yeah, and they did they did a thing where like refrigerators,
it would like be darker in the edges and it
would fade. I was like I was a piece of
art almost. Yeah. Yeah, but you don't see him a
lot anymore. I don't know, I don't see him a
lot anymore.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
No, but if you go looking at houses, sometimes you'll
see him, like in the older neighborhoods. But it seems
like that's the first thing everybody pulls out is the old.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
And those old refrigerators are still running today.
Speaker 1 (43:21):
Is your refrigerator running, Todd?
Speaker 2 (43:24):
Yeah, sure, let's see them. An they make sure I
didn't miss any Yeah.
Speaker 1 (43:32):
Dial phones, If I say a dial phone, that reminds
me of the You don't see them very often though,
because they're I guess, well, a phone booth. Oh yeah,
I just saw an article where some town got their
like downtown phone booth working. Again, not exactly sure.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
Why phone booth. So I guess some stories about phone
booths downtown on the square number one.
Speaker 1 (43:58):
Yeah, everybody to cover your ears.
Speaker 2 (44:03):
Well, just today I stopped at I stopped at Perry
to get some gas and I had to run and
use the bathroom, and there's I was like, where's the bathroom, Matt.
There was a sign that said bathrooms, showers and telephones,
and I'm like what, Oh, really that had to be
an old side because who didn't have a phone in
their pocket these days? Was there?
Speaker 1 (44:22):
There wasn't a phone in the back.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
There wasn't a phone now, but there, but there was
a penny scale. You put the penny in and wait.
Really yeah, I was still there. That thing's been there forever. Wow,
it's right next door to the McDonald's there and Perry,
right off the highway. I should have waited myself. No,
oh my god, I hate so much and just sat around,
did a whole bunch of sitting around watching TV because
(44:45):
I had lost like ten pounds a couple of weeks ago.
Just I just did and I haven't weighed myself.
Speaker 1 (44:51):
Did you not jump in the water and do some swimming?
Speaker 2 (44:53):
Okay, here's the deal. If you, if you, if you
followed me on Facebook, you saw the video of my
grand dog Jazz that likes to jump in the water.
He would not let me be in the water alone.
And if I if I got like a little floaty
thing was just floating around, he would jump. And it's
not a huge pool.
Speaker 1 (45:13):
Oh see that's Graham. You know, Graham does that. When
we took Graham. You know, we take you can't jump
in the water without Graham jumping on you going berserk
and having to jump in and try to save you. Yeah, okay,
and if you hold him, he like howls like he's dying.
Yeah yeah, no, yeah, yeah, Graham's the exact same way.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
Yeah, So I would, I would. So I started playing
with you know, I was like I would like jump
in and like dive into the water because he couldn't dive,
and then I could see him like just freaking out,
and then I would come up and then he's like
really freaking out. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (45:50):
So well, so we try to swing, you know, off
the rope at Stayton's off his dock, and every time
somebody would go off and Graham just so Eventually, so
they got this one of those big huge mats.
Speaker 2 (46:05):
Uh huh yeah, like huge, and it was in the water,
and so.
Speaker 1 (46:09):
We put Graham on it so he could run back
and forth. But if somebody would jump into the water,
he would jump in after him, swim to him. As
soon as he touched him, he would swim back and
try to get up on that mat, and he couldn't,
so one of us would lift him up on the
mat and then you run around for a second and
then he jump back in after somebody. It just it
(46:30):
was comical.
Speaker 2 (46:32):
You had to handle on him.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
We had the handle on a little life vest on him.
Speaker 2 (46:36):
Yeah. Yeah, So no, I and I tried because it
was funny because I'd be in the pool and he
would like look straight at me and then jump and
I was like, oh, this is a really good I'm
gonna take a picture of this. No, I didn't have
time to get my camera out. Then my phone got wet.
It didn't work for like navo, Yeah, I got wet.
(46:56):
Wouldn't work for half a day. Yeah, yeah, oh damn it.

Two weeks. It'd be two weeks. It's actually two weeks,
well twenty Yeah. Yeah, I didn't realize this is gonna
be gone that long. Like when you went to Florida,
you were going for nine days. And where did I go?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
You went to Alaska?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Oh, I went to Alaska. I was gone for nine days.
I didn't realize when I left, I was like, I
didn't realize this is gonna be gone for twelve days. Yeah.
I left Friday, came back. Yeah, it's like twelve days
I was gone and my yard was.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Like, I noticed it looked like you cut it.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Yeah, no, I need to go out and bail the
bail all the stickers.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
You need a bayler.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Oh. So I got home this afternoon about about one
thirty or two, and my neighbor's yard looked better than mine.
I was like, oh, we'll have none of that. Oh
my so, and luckily it's not been hot down here,
it's been really nice. But yeah, I digress.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
You guys hit us up at five eighth five for
one three eighth five or buzzabusedmedia dot com and uh,
since we have been gone for a while, I got
some email. Oh well, Dave called, but Dave, Dave's was
all buzz head radio.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
He was all bus If you want to know what
Dave said or asked or mentioned or talked about, listen
to Buzshead radio.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
And then other than that, we didn't get any phone calls.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I guess I guess everybody knows.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
I think we kind of warned people that were so.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
And they got you know, just wait, they've called.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Dave called, Dave called. But we did get emails. So
let's see. We got uh oh and we got a
package from Richard Kuavis. We will divulge it next week.
Next week on Facebook Live. We got Stayton coming to
Inena this weekend to record the Data episode which will
(03:51):
be played after the week after the Facebook Live week.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
But Richard emailed. He said, Hey, Curtis and Todd great
Land few episodes. Paul McCartney and Wings were great during
the seventies. I would say my favorite song of theirs
now is with a Little Luck. Great songs back in
the seventies. He liked Silly Love Song. Yeah, all those
songs are great, all of them. I bought Wings Greatest
(04:17):
LP sometime in seventy nine onto Jaws. I clearly recall
seeing Jaws at the theater. I remember which theater it
was as well. We had about six theaters here back then,
and two drive ins. And then he says, I sent
you a package via ups. It's in a cardboard tube
and I got it Richard, so we will divulge that.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Oh sounds like it's Jaws related. Maybe not.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Actually yeah, did you open it? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
What? Well?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Because it wasn't like because but I had I haven't
like looked at it. Fine, whatever, I just opened it,
but I haven't like looked at it.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
But oh yeah that way, okay, let me excell it better.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
It's okay, So anyway, I don't care. So that Richard
and then that gal from Zimbabwe. Yeah, she emailed. She says.
While at work, I listened to true crime podcasts and
heard a few about the Lady of the Dunes, and
I when I was doing the listening to the crime
(05:23):
podcast I remember the stories of the Lady of the
Dunes as well. In the seventies, a lady's body was
discovered in the dunes at Cape Cod. She was wearing
shorts and a bandana top. For years, no one knew
she was. Joe Hill was watching Jaws and saw in
the crowd a woman fitting her description, and law enforcement
started looking into it. It was until recently that she
(05:47):
was identified. I don't remember if I knew she was
ever identified or not. I'll have to look at this.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Back in the seventies.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah, well, no, it must have been if she was
in the movie. Oh, she couldn't have been murdered that
far after, otherwise how would you have known she was
in the Yeah, so it must have been in the seventies.
Oh so anyway, thanks for that. Yeah, I'll have to
reinvestigate that.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Because the Lady of the Dooms.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, because she was she was a Jane Doe, and
so they just called her the Lady of the Dunes
because they didn't nobody knew who she was.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Oh, kind of reminds me of have you ever heard
now that this will be for buzz ladyword Lake serial Killer. No, okay,
keep that under your hand.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Guys, head on over to buzs Oh, it's a it's
a huge one here, all about that.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
And then Robert Abbott Marco from Phoenix. He's he's emailed before.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Hey, Robert, he.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Says, I'm a bit behind on your shows, having just
listened to Summersong episode from a few weeks ago. You
mentioned a fifth of Baitthoven. I remember playing drums on
that song in my high school jazz band.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Anyway, the instrumental. Yeah, yep.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I recently found the entire album. I didn't even know
there was an entire album because Connie had the forty
five and it didn't even dawn on me that there
would have been an album. But I guess there was
because he sent pictures. He says, here's the pictures of
the cover. Todd was right in noting the power of
memory associated with songs to take you back to win
(07:26):
and where you heard them. Thanks Robert, Phoenix, AZPS. I
should be on your map in Gold Canyon, Arizona, and
Robert you are. I looked and you are on there. Awesome, awesome,
And then I think this is a new I don't
remember Darren peck He could have, but Darren pecky meld.
(07:46):
He says, the chunky bar was offered with Did I
read this last time with or without raisins? Wasn't a
big fan? Maybe I read that one already.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Oh okay, okay, I do remember it now that it
was without raisins.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
He said. Also love the Charleston chew vanilla chocolate or
strawberry frozen and then smashed into pieces.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, yeah, no, you didn't read this before, but no, okay, okay,
that's why I said when we did that podcast, I'm
like the chunk he had raisins. I would not have
eaten it. Apparently it was available with that raisin. Yeah,
kind of like almonds or or almond Joy's got nuts
my owns, don't.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I just don't remember like seeing a version with raisins.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah, but I you know, I.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Would I like raisins. I would, I would hate it.
I would, Okay. And then that's all of the emails
except I got one other email, which is a secret.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
I can't tell you it was from why.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
But it's about.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
It's about, it's about.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
It's about that song that you got on the computer
over there, probably out of play any.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Does that mean it's time? That means it's time this
Jesus died.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
This is for our faithful listener, mister Jim Hammond. How's
gonna say? Are we hearing that?
Speaker 2 (09:13):
On the Yeah?

but he was born in nineteen seventy one.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Oh, he's a young man.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
He is a young man. Oh but yeah, so uh
fifty four, somebody, somebody sneakily might have emailed us your
birthday information.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
So whatever you do, don't go to uh uh like
a Mexican place on your birthday and they're gonna put
that stinky sombrero in your hat. That everybody else in
the Tiger County, all the other people with licener air

on anyway, Well, happy birthday, brother.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Happy Birthday. And then Christopher Todd. We hope you caught. Uh,
somebody told him that we'd played his birthday last week.
But for some reason you you said something like did
he say he was fifty six or fifty seven? And
then you went with fifty seven but he was only
(10:36):
fifty six.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I didn't say that.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I went back and listened. Yeah you did.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Oh okay, So whatever, I was trying to figure out
how I where that number comes.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I was gonna say, I don't remember. He must have
told us on the phone or it's some I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
So how old is he now?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Fifty six?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Oh? Okay, it's close. So what's the year when you're
in your fifties? Whatever? Wait, do you get to your
It's all down there.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Yeah, all your young out there.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Okay, speaking of young, Oh my gosh, so many people
passing away.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I know, scary, it's dude, but I mean, every celebrity
on earth has died in the last two weeks. But
then I'm dealing with my nephew and that couple here
in town, and then a guy I know, his wife
went in for kind of minor surgery and she ended up.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
It's just crazy that that one really would have sucked.
I mean, I mean they all suck. But yeah, yeah,
So we're.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Going to Kansas City on the twenty eighth. They're having
instead of having a funeral for my nephew who owned
the Mean Meal distilling company in the bar, instead of
having a funeral for him, they're going to have a
celebration and everybody, we're all going to meet at this
venue and they're gonna have music and all his favorite drinks.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
And yeah, that's what you should do that stuff, So
that's what you should do. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
So anyway, oh my goodness. So, uh, tonight's episode was
the suggestion from Jeffrey Jeffrey Jeffrey and uh, basically, triggers
or things today the trigger memories or throw you right
(12:29):
back to the seventies. So we kind of made out
our own little lists of what what triggers us.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, and I was going through thinking of these triggers,
and we've talked about almost all of these things.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
But then as I like, because I messaged you earlier,
like last week, and I'm like, what do you want
to do? Because I had a lot of time on
my hands because I was just dog sitting and playing
with the dogs and hanging out on the pool. I
did go to some movies. We'll talk about that on
Buzzet radio. But uh, on the way back, you know,
(13:09):
it's a seven hour drive, I had this idea.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I was like, you know, you can, you can list
all these things that are triggers. Yeah, I look minds
on my phone and look at that, because I didn't
have a paper mine seah, mine's electrical. I don't know anyway.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
So I was like, triggers of the senses, that's kind
of that's kind of what mine are, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
But specific, more specific, And I'll say I'll save my
list and see what. See how yours comparison? Mind of
the senses gotcha? Because I mean something. You know, a
lot of mine are generic, like uh, posters, you know,
(13:56):
posters from the seventies, those are I mean that triggers
me like black light posters, Yes, you don't see black
light posters anymore, or the gurly posters. Do they do
gurly posters anymore?
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I not that where would you even buy a poster?
I don't even know where you would buy it.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Yeah, because the arcade guy he's gone. Now.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yeah, I mean Wilco. We used to buy them at Wilco.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yeah, but yeah, so online. I suppose everything's online, I guess.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yeah. So so anyway, these are gonna be triggers, the
trigger memories of the seventies. Now, we could have done
like I've been watching again, I've been watching a lot
of Leave It to Beaver, don't Dang. We could have
done triggers of the fifties and sixties. And then there's
little triggers that remind me of high school and college
(14:44):
from the eighties. But all the best triggers, mister Wheeler,
are those triggers from the seventies. And why because I
was the greatest. I don't go mine, Yes was okay, well, okay,
so here's here's my number one onegger without fail, this
trigger every time this happens, zapp, I'm back in the
(15:05):
seventies music. Well no, oh, really, freshly cut grass and
it's not just because it's the hot weather, because most
people only cut their grass in the summertime. So it's
a combination of the summer heat, the sound of a lawnmower,
and the smell of that freshly cut grass. I mean,
(15:28):
I literally when I go out on the trail in
the afternoon. Sometimes that's like my favorite thing in the
world is to walk by somebody that's out cutting their
grass because I'm like, Bam, sends me right back to
the seventies, and then it gives me more ideas for
my book. So that that's kind of like, so that's
why my number one trigger, number one freshly cut grass,
(15:49):
because it reminds me not only of the seventies, but
summers in the seventies.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Summers. Yeah, I can see that. So yeah, like chlorine
in the swimming pool exactly. I didn't write that down.
I wrote that down now. Okay, So when we're saying triggers,
is it something that something that you come across or
just kind of happens or yeah, that's what I.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Was thinking, Like, like, because we remember everything from the seventies,
but it's like, well, if I'm somewhere and I see
a girl in bell bottoms, bell bottoms, sure that reminds me.
Sure it throws me to the seventies. It reminds me
of the seventies.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
It's kind of you trigger. She's got to be wearing them.
It's not just me thinking of bell bottoms. It's when
somebody's wearing them, and I see them wearing them.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yeah. See, some of mine are like you don't see anymore.
But if I were to see them, it would trigger me.
Now I got you.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Now, I see where you're going.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yeah, like colored notebook paper, Oh yeah, it's it's like pink.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
But if you yeah, I see what you're saying. If
you saw it, you would throw you back to the seventiesh.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Like pink and blue and green and oh yeah, all.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Kinds of colors. Kind of like now, see I haven't
seen colored toilet paper, right, but if I saw a
colored toilet.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Paper that was right above my colored, it would throw
me back to the seventies. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
So my list is more the stuff that actually has
triggered me.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Okay, well that's okay, that's my that's in my triggers
of the senses. Okay, yeah, you remember that if you
were to see did you guys ever have like peel
and stick bathtub?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Oh yeah, the little seventies? What was that show dating
game flowers?
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, or you could or sometimes it
would be like animals or whatever. So you about them,
which I don't know why they quit doing that, because.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
No, they still they have them, because remember when I
had the blue surfboard on my I found in a
store a packet of those and I stuck those on
my surfboard. So they still make them. Where's that surfboard
at in my garage? Oh, here's one that just happened
(18:17):
the other day. The smell of cooking hamburgers on a
grill but using Kingford charcoal and the charcoal fluid smell.
Oh yeah, because not as many people use Kingford charcoal
anymore because they've got the pellets and the.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Gas and yeah, especially especially if you're just hamburgers. But
now there's diehard guys that do like briskets and you know,
the big chunks of meat that they smoke for like,
yeah days or whatever.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
And I'm talking like just burgers. The smell of the
burger with the brickets and yeah, that's definitely a seventies
of trigger from me.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yeah, so I remember back in the day in the seventies,
we uh right here in the backyard. I don't know
where Dad came up with it, but there was a
fifty five gallon drum that someone cut in half, put
hinges on it and had wheels in a handle, and
uh in the summertime. I don't know if it's because
it was hot and we didn't want to heat up
the house, so he would, like a lot of times,
(19:23):
he would cook tater steaks and eggs. That's what them.
It was just fry taters and friday pan on there.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, interesting. Yeah, we had tater steaks
and eggs, and I thought that was just the coolest
thing there was. It's perfect, it's perfect.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
It was my mom got fancy and bought a high
botchy oh, one of those funky little and had the
two little squares square. Yeah, she would, but she would
put the Kingsford charcoal in there now and then put
those on there and cook our burgers on it. You
could raise them a little, yeah, yeah, yeah, So that's
(19:59):
where that come mom cooking the burgers outside on the hipotchi.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
You know, when I got old enough to cook, I
just didn't have the patience for the charcoal. I mean,
there's diehard charcoalers.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah yeah, I saw. I say, you don't catch a
whole lot of people using charcoal anymore.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Oh Kip is diehard, is he? Yeah? He constantly has,
and they come in two packs like that that I
don't know, like twenty pound bags and they're bundled up together.
He's got two of those in the garage all the time. Now,
back in the seventies, speaking a grilling, my brother for
Christmas bought my dad a gas not not propane, it
(20:43):
was natural gas. And it was right off the deck.
You can still see where there was a cutout for
the on the deck. And it had lava rocks.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Oh my mom had my mom bought one of those
too that had lava rocks.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Yes. Did it run off gas?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
No, it ran off one of the little green propane.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Okay, So this was a big one. I mean it
was like and the and the LoVa rocks become seasoned
the more you use them. And I'm like, now, times
have gotten a lot better at this point in time.
So Dad was constantly cooking steaks and there I do
remember there's a point in time and I was like Dad,
I mean I was like probably fourteen fifteen or whatever,
(21:23):
my dad eating steaks all the time. Can we hear
like birds? Give me some give hot dog? Yes, yeah,
just anything other than steaks. But uh yeah, that's some
times were good. Did you ever do or do you
ever see I guess I should put it that way,
(21:43):
like the denim work shirts that had not need a
point shoot. I heard the term on the radio coming
up this afternoon, So you would you would get a
denim T shirt again, a denim shirt, button.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Up shirt, yeah, long blue blue denim shirt.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
My mom would so patches on it for me.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Patches. But what we did was she got the little
hoop and you would there was an inside hooping.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
And I don't have any embroidery type and broardery.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
That's what we do. Yeah, you would embroidery designs and
stuff on it.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
We never did, but my mom sewed the heck out
of patches on them.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember. We used to patch my
tough voice, tough boys, tough guys, tough skins to skids, yeah,
patch to patch the knees. Yeah. I was embarrassed. I
didn't like those.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Yeah every time, And this does not happen very often,
But when I'm driving around and eat it and I
see a group like I'm talking anywhere from three or
more kids on bicycles or skateboards, immediately I think of
us back in the seventies because you just you just
(22:58):
don't see groups of kids zip around on bikes together
or skateboard very often now and then.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I do, oh yeah, gosh, yeah, they're all inside playing
their damn video Oh yeah, good old for video games. Uh,
muscle cars. You know, that's that's that's kind of generic.
I mean, the thing about I guess the thing about
my list was I was thinking, like stuff you don't
see so much now, like doorway beats. I was looking
(23:30):
for doorway beats for this right here. Oh yeah, yeah.
I couldn't find them anywhere. This is the closest I
found in there.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
It's it's a I'll have to look up where I
found mine, because I found them somewhere in between my two.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah, we actually used to have them here in the
house when the front door was right here. In that
which which now is the entryway was an office. Actually
it was a bedroom before that, but I digress.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Yeah, and that's why I bought the beats, because they
remind me of the seventies.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Now.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Yeah, so well, I mean, this one's real obvious, and
I do this on purpose. You guys could think I'm
a little weird, but part of part of it's because
I'm writing the book. But I'll try when I go
to the post office.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Every day.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
I basically drive home up West Broadway just so I
can go through the neighborhood every day. And so driving
through West down West Broadway reminds me of the seventies
every time. It's like it never never gets old, or
it never it never doesn't remind me of I mean,
I can pick out exact spots of where there used
(24:35):
to be a tree or a bush, or that's where
we threw that, or that's where we our bikes land,
you know, I mean every spot. I can find a
spot every time I drive drive down West Broadway.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
It's amazing how trees come and go.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Yeah, or bushes especially, Yeah, I mean the bush and tree. Look,
it's so much different than we were kids, just on
those two blocks.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Turquoise jewelry, Oh yeah, no, I don't. Do you remember
me wearing jewelry?
Speaker 1 (25:09):
I kind of do, yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
And I had some turquoise. I wish I knew where
that stuff was. I had a turquoise ring. I think
I had a turquoise bracelet, and then I had some
kind of necklace. I was back in the there was
a time there I was all blinged up. Of course
I haven't done all that and forever I kind of
remember that. Yeah. Yeah, So if I see someone wearing turquoise,
(25:32):
my uncle has a really nice turquoise ring, and I
hope you don't take it with you. It's like, hey,
you know, what do you think about it? Leave it
that around? You know, he does have wondering that he
has taken with him. Oh, he's gonna get a cremated
(25:53):
dick anyway.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
It's not made out of gold, is it. You know,
gold's going to twenty five thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Now, really, who's back? He could though, absolutely could. Who knows.
That's for another episode. That's for another podcast.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Okay, And so we all know that songs because we
mention it all the time. But here's one, two, three, four,
These these five songs. Without a doubt. Whether whether I
like him or not, I could hate these songs. It
doesn't matter. These songs take me back to the seventies
in five seconds. Suntimes, Sunshine on my shoulders Shine because
(26:32):
Stayton sang it all the show. Yeah, I mean you
know when we first met, I mean that he was
singing because he was doing it for a competition deal,
So he was singing it all the time.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Seasons in the Sun.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I knew that Terry Jack was coming up.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yeah, I think my sister had the forty five, the
nice Chicago Died Done, Paper Lace Yep, and Billy Don't
Be Hero, and then Hot Child in the City because
of the juke box at Ken's Pizza Pizza. So, I mean,
but you know, there's like a million other songs, but
these songs are just are super triggers of the seventies.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Okay, So and my triggers of the senses list I got. Okay,
so what I did, I'll just go ahead and do
it right now. So sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch.
That's basically our five senses. Yeah, sootky, okay, So site,
when I see something? What what just triggered? Bail Bottoms?
Speaker 1 (27:38):
I got forty five records on mine. When I see
a forty five, I think.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Oh yeah. Seventies sound obviously music, but specifically the band
there's a specific man and they're they're still around, but
they you don't hear of them a lot. They haven't
made a lot like you know, Aerosmith, Foreigner, all those guys,
It'll kiss all those guys in the seventies, they've continued
(28:05):
to make music but when you listen to and they
did a lot of songs, but when you listen to
the band ten CC, Oh yeah, yeah, that's like it's
like nineteen seventy five. Bam right there.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
What about cicadas?
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Cicadas?
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Oh yeah, yeah, when I hear the screaming cicada, I mean,
especially when they're loud. Yeah, because we didn't have air conditioning. Yeah,
so I had to leave the door the window open
with the box van. But they are so loud you
could still hear them over the box van. But that
takes me always back to the summers of in the seventies.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
That's what my tenetus sounds like. Cicadas. Oh really, yeah,
I'm here right now. Smell smell? What kind of smell?
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I've got one right here?
Speaker 2 (28:54):
What's that?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
The smell of gasoline when my mom would get out
and put gasoline in the car.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Yeah, the smell of.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Gasoline reminds me of the seventies when mom would put
gas in the car.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Okay, we kind of liked it.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
It was kind of one of those smells that you
kind of.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Like, yeah, yeah, that's true. I agree my smell. Actually,
I had I first thought the smell that triggered me
to the seventies. The most and I I did away
with it was cigarette smoke.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
It actually reminds me of my mom smoking in the car.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Yeah, in the car, Yeah, because you couldn't get away
from it. Oh no, it was got awful, but.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
In a weird way. When I smell it today, it's
kind of a weirdly comforting smell because it reminds me
of spending so damn much time in the car with
my mom.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
I remember getting low down on the floorboard. We'd be
along trip trying to get away from it. I would
beg the parent, would you please crack with No? Luckily,
luck we never.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Went on long trips. This is like just her driving
me around time.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Oh no, we'd go to a skogie yeah, and they'd
be like chain smoking in that damn car' Oh my god. Uh.
You know cars nowadays don't have ash trays. No, I'm wondering.
I was thinking about this on the drive up, but
I meant to research it, Like when did they quit
putting twofold? When did they quit putting ash trees in cars?
(30:25):
Like regularly? And I know people today smoke in cars.
They're smokers that smoke in their cars today, where do
they what do they do with their cigarette butts and
flick their ashes?
Speaker 1 (30:37):
I'm guessing out the window.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Don't do that. Don't do that. That's not good. That's
not good. So my smell that I just I landed
on was remember going to like contemporary sounds and turntable
new stereo equipment and albums and albums. They just had
a really cool smell.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
And another smell I had on my list incense. Oh yeah,
anytime you smelled incense, it was kind of like either
somebody was smoking dope pretty close trying to trying to
cover it or yeah, or you just bought incense just
but yeah, I don't, I don't.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
I guess.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
I'm sure they still sell it, but I never nobody
that I know burns incense anymore. It was just kind
of a seventies thing.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Yeah, No, the kids nowadays do. Matter of fact, when
I was just this just this last week, when I
was staying with actually I wouldn't staying with there. I
was staying out there in Kevin's house with the dogs.
He had a uh in the room I stayed in,
he had one of those long oh yeah, yeah, with
a hole in it. So the kids. Now, are you know?
(31:41):
I remember we're doing the cone, the little cone. Yeah,
they seem to last longer again, I don't know. Yeah,
So so that was my sight. Bell bottoms my sound.
The band tend CC because they had a they had
a special sound. And they're still they're still out there,
they're still turning, but they haven't done anything anything new forever.
(32:01):
I don't know if they did anything new after the seventies.
I don't think. Some things we do from love anyway.
And then smell, Okay, I struggled with these last two taste.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
What taste triggers you.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
To the seventies?
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Well, I just so happened to have one, right, Yeah,
I knew you TV dinners with that nasty Salisbury steak.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
No, those were great.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Well, if I and I have eaten. When I taste
that salisburry steak, it takes me back to the seventies.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
You got to cook them all the way though. Yeah,
so if you don't cook them all enough, they're kind
of frozen inside and then the grave is kind of gooey.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Gel almost.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Yeah. It was a gelatinist gelatiny, Yeah, gelatiny gelatiny.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Yeah. But that yeah, that was definitely a taste from
the seventies.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Okay, so I I gosh, I pondered a lot about this.
My taste that sends me right back is pecan pi.
Not really, yeah, because I bet since the seventies, I've
probably had maybe a dozen pieces of pecan pie. But
(33:19):
during the holidays, especially Thanksgiving, my mom would say, she
would all of us kids. She would say, Okay, everybody,
tell me what kind of pie they want, and she
would make everybody a pie. And I always ask for pecompi.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Interesting, Yeah, put caramel on it.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Nope, just no, I didn't put caramel on my pecan pi.
I just had straight old because it was sweet enough,
I mean, super sweet. And so to this day, when
I take a bye to Compi, I wish I could
find some pecan pi right now. No ice cream, nothing
like that. Just pecompi takes me right back to this eties,
(34:01):
you know, because you got to remember Mom didn't make
it out of the I mean she passed away in
early eighty one, so yeah, she was. She was all
about seventies. That's when I when I think about her. Yeah.
And then touch, if you is there something that you
(34:24):
touch that just sents you right back?
Speaker 1 (34:27):
I kind of got to two things. Yeah, shag carpet
because I you know, I put shag carpet in my studio,
So I got that thick yellow. And then corduroy there
it is right there, quarter cordroy because I buy corduroy
shorts now. But the only reason is, I think, because
it reminds me of the seventies. Yeah, so corduroy shorts
(34:49):
and shirts and jeans.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
And that's what I picked out there as far as
my sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch and and go
along with the I don't know if you ever had this,
but my grandparents had a couch that had these. I
remember the arms of the couch were real flat. It
was a green couch, and they had these weird raised
(35:15):
almost cordory like, but they weren't in the line. They
were like they were like I don't know, hash or whatever,
like some of the race parts that go you know,
left to right and then right next to them. And
I remember taking my finger and being able to draw Yeah,
and it just kind of like running through the because
I said, I was bored as hell because there was
(35:35):
on my grandparents' house and wasn't nothing to do, you know,
that was. That was a pretty big touch. What about now?
Speaker 1 (35:43):
I think you had one after the seventies. But for me, waterbeds,
so you absolutely. Anytime I happened to run into a
waterbed somewhere and I sit on it, it reminds me
of the seventies because the only time I ever sat
on a waterbed was literally in the seventies.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Yes, number two and I got a waterbed after we
got married.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
That was.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
That was an eighty four. I thought you had a waterbed,
Oh yeah at some point for quite a while, for
quite a while. Yeah. Yeah, they're terrible, don't There's there's
nothing good about a waterbed. Yeah. Whoever thought that of
was either an evil genius or psychotic, I don't.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Know, kind of crazy.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Finding turtles reminds me of the seventies. If I'm out
on the trail and turtles crossing this.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
I'm like, oh wow, turtle from Yeah, I remember having
a turtle that he must have migrated around, because at
one point in time, we didn't paint a whole turtleshell
because you shouldn't do that. It's bad for because that's
like their skin. But we had one of the girls
had taken a nail polish and like put like a
I can't remember if they put a letter or something
(36:57):
on that. And every year, that damn turtle would just
and he would like, you know, we'd find him cruising
down the driveway over there, I would say, every year.
I'm assuming he did it every year, because yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
They say they don't go any further than a mile
from wherever they're born.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Oh yeah, no, this guy, yeah, he is a box turtle.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Not not.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Not don't throw him in the water.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Not a terrapin.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
He was a terrapin. That's what he was. Yes, yes,
And for the longest time we thought they were. I
never threw a terrapin in the water. I knew better
than that.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
When people say certain words like far out, groovy or
right on, it kind of reminds me of the seventies. Yeah, yeah,
and black and white TVs. God, which there's fewer and fewer,
But every now and then you'll be in somebody's house
and they're odd little TV in the laundry room or
the kitchen will be black and white and it'll be.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Like, oh wow, I can't remember which child of mine
it was, but it had been I don't think it
was Jeremy. It had been Tanna and Justin and now
that I mean Tanna just turned forty this year, justin
thirty eight. He'll be thirty nine in December. I think
it was them, one of them that asked me when
(38:16):
they invented color, because you know, they would see people
watching old black and white and then black and white photographs.
They're like, when did they invent color? I'm like, what
do you mean, like, because you know, look at all
these you know, there's no color.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
Well, it is kind of weird because I've been going
through some of the mom's old pictures and they're all
black and white, and and even seeing old pictures of
Enid's it just seems like it's different. But it looked
exactly like, yeah, like it does today. Then you just
can't imagine that everything was actually in color colors. It
(38:53):
is a little weird.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
Yeah, and what kind of colors?
Speaker 1 (38:56):
I mean, were they very well know, I wouldn't say,
as they.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
Had to be kind of dried just because of well.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
I think most people, like if you look at the clothes,
everybody had on dark gray, black, dark blue clothes anyway, Yeah, yeah,
not a lot of people and in all cars were
like pretty much black.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Yeah yeah, yeah, or something not a yellow, not a
lot of yellows or reds or white.
Speaker 4 (39:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
No wood paneling. If I go into somebody's house and
they've got wood paneling, the old that covered the whole wall,
it reminds me of the seventies.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
God, there's so much paneling back of the day.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
It was everywhere. It still is in some of the
older neighborhoods.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Yeah. Yeah, I used to be in here, but this
wasn't the This room didn't have the the thin paneling.
It had the three quarter inch naughty pine tongue in
group paneling, which I saved. It's in the it's in
the bedroom with the what's that thing we do subscreen machine?
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Yeah, interesting macromay Oh yeah, everything, yeah, especially if it's
an owl.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Yeah yeah, yeah. Yeah. We did a lot of hanging pots.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
I've been thinking about doing some hanging pots around the studio.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Really. Yeah, Well, you'd have to hang it because you
don't have any room to set se anymore.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Well, no, I'm put more on the outside. I'm thinking.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Oh. Yeah. So this was about the time we were
doing the Embardery that we decided we call it. Yeah,
and then we got into Macromay, and I remember doing it.
I couldn't do it right now to save my soul.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
I don't think I ever did. I know, Grandma got
into it and she loved owls, so there was like
owl Macromay everywhere.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
You had the little stick.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
Yeah, with the little stick. Looked like he was sitting
on the stick.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Oh yeah, we did the We did the potholders, that's
all I remember doing. And then put a plan in
it and hung in this room right here.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
Interesting in the day, and that well, that that alone
is you know, it seems like everybody had more plants
in their house. So you know, so if you go
into a house and it's got a lot of plants,
it kind of is a memory of the seventies. Yeah,
don't see that as much.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Do you ever go to anybody's house anymore and see
carpet in the bathroom not too long ago you did, Yeah, Mom's.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
House, Mom's house, and not only carpet, but carpet on carpet.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
And then carpet in the kitchen. Yeah yeah, I mean,
what the hell were they thinking? Yeah, just and then
the carpet or not carpet, but then they would like
the toilet seat.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Oh, carpeted toilets.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
We went carpeted. It was like getting knitted something or rather.
Speaker 1 (41:46):
Well, I remember like shag, I remember shag toilet Yeah. Yeah,
it was more like the hair of a troll. Yeah,
fuzzy yeah what yeah, talk about yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
It goes along with the colored toilet paper and all
that stuff. I think colored toilet paper came a little
bit later though. Yeah, and oh my god, I thought
about but carpet shag. I'm a toilet Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
A polkashell necklace. If I see a dude, dude, we're
in a pooka poka shell. Yeah, necklace, I think, I think, dude,
I think like the Sepeties.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Yeah yeah, Mark Mankin always had a pookah shell. Oh yeah,
they well, they went to they went to Hawaii. Yeah,
they used to go walk on the places they'd go to. Yeah,
they went all over the place when they were kids.
And they come back and tell me about it.
Speaker 4 (42:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
Uh oh like uh, colored kitchen appliances that's.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
On my list right here, like the avocado and mustard.
Speaker 2 (42:51):
Yeah, and they did they did a thing where like refrigerators,
it would like be darker in the edges and it
would fade. I was like I was a piece of
art almost. Yeah. Yeah, but you don't see him a
lot anymore. I don't know, I don't see him a
lot anymore.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
No, but if you go looking at houses, sometimes you'll
see him, like in the older neighborhoods. But it seems
like that's the first thing everybody pulls out is the old.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
And those old refrigerators are still running today.
Speaker 1 (43:21):
Is your refrigerator running, Todd?
Speaker 2 (43:24):
Yeah, sure, let's see them. An they make sure I
didn't miss any Yeah.
Speaker 1 (43:32):
Dial phones, If I say a dial phone, that reminds
me of the You don't see them very often though,
because they're I guess, well, a phone booth. Oh yeah,
I just saw an article where some town got their
like downtown phone booth working. Again, not exactly sure.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
Why phone booth. So I guess some stories about phone
booths downtown on the square number one.
Speaker 1 (43:58):
Yeah, everybody to cover your ears.
Speaker 2 (44:03):
Well, just today I stopped at I stopped at Perry
to get some gas and I had to run and
use the bathroom, and there's I was like, where's the bathroom, Matt.
There was a sign that said bathrooms, showers and telephones,
and I'm like what, Oh, really that had to be
an old side because who didn't have a phone in
their pocket these days? Was there?
Speaker 1 (44:22):
There wasn't a phone in the back.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
There wasn't a phone now, but there, but there was
a penny scale. You put the penny in and wait.
Really yeah, I was still there. That thing's been there forever. Wow,
it's right next door to the McDonald's there and Perry,
right off the highway. I should have waited myself. No,
oh my god, I hate so much and just sat around,
did a whole bunch of sitting around watching TV because
(44:45):
I had lost like ten pounds a couple of weeks ago.
Just I just did and I haven't weighed myself.
Speaker 1 (44:51):
Did you not jump in the water and do some swimming?
Speaker 2 (44:53):
Okay, here's the deal. If you, if you, if you
followed me on Facebook, you saw the video of my
grand dog Jazz that likes to jump in the water.
He would not let me be in the water alone.
And if I if I got like a little floaty
thing was just floating around, he would jump. And it's
not a huge pool.
Speaker 1 (45:13):
Oh see that's Graham. You know, Graham does that. When
we took Graham. You know, we take you can't jump
in the water without Graham jumping on you going berserk
and having to jump in and try to save you. Yeah, okay,
and if you hold him, he like howls like he's dying.
Yeah yeah, no, yeah, yeah, Graham's the exact same way.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
Yeah, So I would, I would. So I started playing
with you know, I was like I would like jump
in and like dive into the water because he couldn't dive,
and then I could see him like just freaking out,
and then I would come up and then he's like
really freaking out. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (45:50):
So well, so we try to swing, you know, off
the rope at Stayton's off his dock, and every time
somebody would go off and Graham just so Eventually, so
they got this one of those big huge mats.
Speaker 2 (46:05):
Uh huh yeah, like huge, and it was in the water,
and so.
Speaker 1 (46:09):
We put Graham on it so he could run back
and forth. But if somebody would jump into the water,
he would jump in after him, swim to him. As
soon as he touched him, he would swim back and
try to get up on that mat, and he couldn't,
so one of us would lift him up on the
mat and then you run around for a second and
then he jump back in after somebody. It just it
(46:30):
was comical.
Speaker 2 (46:32):
You had to handle on him.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
We had the handle on a little life vest on him.
Speaker 2 (46:36):
Yeah. Yeah, So no, I and I tried because it
was funny because I'd be in the pool and he
would like look straight at me and then jump and
I was like, oh, this is a really good I'm
gonna take a picture of this. No, I didn't have
time to get my camera out. Then my phone got wet.
It didn't work for like navo, Yeah, I got wet.
(46:56):
Wouldn't work for half a day. Yeah, yeah, oh damn it.
