Speaker 2 (00:32):
And now back to The Woodi Show and we are
into another new hour insensitivity training for a politically correct world.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
It's Thursday morning. It's a free Friday. It's February the
twenty seventh, twenty twenty five. Appreciate you being here, Woody, Greg,
Good morning, there's Menace. Hi, we have Sammy right seed Mass.
We are Gina free today because Gina and I think
she'll be back tomorrow. I was texting with her yesterday.
She has I think spoken five words. Word's good because
(01:01):
she's been talking to yeah, trying to get her voice
back there. And Gidas also, I think it touched the flu. Yeah, sure,
her uh, her fever was down to like one hundred
yesterday morning, but still that's a day's long fever. Yeah.
But then but then by uh, the afternoon yesterday, I
guess there was no more fever. So I said she
was gonna come in today. And I'm like, you know
(01:23):
what with greg kind of being on the yeah fence,
although though my wife is convinced that it's just stress.
I'm dressed. You need to hidrate, She's.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Probably right, yeah, and I am hydrating and I'm not sleeping, so.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Oh, okay, I'll catch up soon. That's good.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Yeah, you're still not sleeping, not really really no, and
I'm not drinking, so it's not I can't blame because
a lot of people say, oh, you sleep worse when
you drink. So I'm taking days off of drinking and
I'm seeing, oh maybe tonight I'll sleep great because I'm
not drinking.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Oh, now you're getting get your head about not sleeping.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Yeah, pretty much. But I don't have a fever. I
feel totally fine. Yeah, it's just I wake up with
sore throat, which then kind of goes away by kind
of about now.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
You know what doesn't work and I've tried a number
of times that melatonin really yeah, I mean somebody goes, oh, well,
didn't just take a night quill or take.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Day though I don't like that.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Night quill doesn't make me feel groggy. But what I
don't want to do, and this is not when I'm sick,
this is just for like, oh, you're having a hard
time sleeping, you have like a week where you're getting
terrible sleep, and oh, take tailand hall PM or take nice.
I don't want to start doing that. That makes that
makes me nervous. And I know I'm like a big pussy.
You know, I've never done cocaine hard drugs, but I
just don't like the idea. And I'm not one of
(02:41):
those people who's afraid of medication, Like I'll take a
medication over the counter, prescription medication. You know, it's fine.
I understand. I do take some daily stuff, so it's
not that I'm afraid of it. It's just I think
that might be a bad idea.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Oh it's tough to stop. I got sick and started
taking Nikequill on the weekend, and then I was still sick,
but I wasn't doing it during the week because I
was nervous about being groggy and not waking up that
I was looking forward to niquill on the weekend and
I couldn't wait, and I did. One of the nights
I did.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Have it when I really didn't need to go out
in the streets.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Will Yeah, sip and scissor so.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Greg and I've always mentioned about how we feel weird
even if we're not doing anything wrong. Let's say we're
going exactly a speed limit, but there's a cop behind you.
Makes you nervous and you get nervous about it. I
also get nervous when I go to the pharmacy and
I go to buy suda fed or musin X. Do
you something you got to show your license for? Yeah,
I always feel weird. I'm like, are thinking I think
I'm some kind of like you know, meth cook they do, Yeah, right.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
I always think they're thinking, like, hmm, I think that
going through the TSA, I have nothing nefarious in my bag.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
I'm totally normal on it. No, I don't care about it.
I need to stand up straight. I need to people
like you know.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
What I really need to do is sit down and
actually learn the method that they say the Marines use
where you fall asleep within two minutes, like breathing activity am.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
You can do it sitting. You can even do it standing. Really,
that sounds impossible, And I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
It's on YouTube.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
No, because it's a way that it shuts you down
enough that you recharge, like mentally okay, and then you
don't feel fuzzy.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Why don't they.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Teach this to everybody? We all need this.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
It's out there. I mean, I know what medicine to
talk about. It's out there, just in list, that's all.
I don't think I can. Okay, I just don't think
I can do it because, like Greg, I'll get in
my head out this is the way. I can't. I
tried the meditation thing. I can't do it, can't. I
couldn't do that to save my life. I have too
many emails and we have we have a coworker at
one of the other radio stations here and he was
trying to like walk me through just a basic thirty
(04:42):
second meditation and I couldn't do it.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
He's like, Woodie, you love it. Thirty is way too
lofty a goal. Well, thirty second, you're learning I think
the goal is ten seconds.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Oh yeah, Well I mean, really, it's like one second.
It's very hard to learn to shut your brain off,
but I mean it's so worth it, and it it
takes a long time. You're not gonna get it the
first time meditate it. Oh my god, I swear in
my life it took me ten years. Oh no, it
took me ten years. I was meditating all the time.
But I started, like guided meditation is how I started.
(05:14):
And it wasn't like shutting off my brain necessarily immediately.
Was just like being able to relax and things like that. Oh,
I can shut my brain off.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I don't believe it. I don't believe. You're one of
the biggest overthinkers that I know, next to Greg no bored.
Do you buy that that Sammy is not an overthinker?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Well you think that she can think that she can meditate,
like shut her brain down long enough to meditate, Morgan,
do you think so? Yeah? She definitely can you think?
Speaker 6 (05:45):
So?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Really?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I believe she can shut her brain off and overthink things.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Yeah. I go with that. You both and the only
time she really shuts her brain off to the d UIQ.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Yeah, here's what I'll say, my overthinking. If you think
it's bad. Now you should have known me before.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
No, no, no, comparatively, but Sam, you seem like a
very centered and an emotionally regulated person comes from.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
Meditative I am, though, like I don't know. I guess
I don't. I mean, when I first started this job,
I was very stressed about learning everything, and there's a
lot that goes into this job.
Speaker 7 (06:23):
But I'm not.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
I wouldn't even consider myself an overthinker, and I like, truly, yes,
a stressed out person. So it's interesting to me that
that's I guess what all.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Of you not overthinker? Maybe over a complicator.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
No, I don't, and I don't mean it as a
as an insult or a negative thing me neither. Like
my mom is an overthinker, and so she will just
keep thinking, like okay, at some point, just do it right,
Like at some point, like for her it's like just
do it, stop thinking about it, and do it. For you,
you will think about something, start doing something, and then
(06:59):
wait a minute, kind of ask it like a bunch
of different questions or like you were just constantly you
see what I'm saying, like the processes.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
But that's here because I'm doing a task and wanting
to do it the way that you want me to. Okay,
So I will stop to make sure I'm doing what
you want. It's not in overthinking or even really over complicating,
it's making sure that it's what you want.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
See what plagues me in the overthinking world is you
could send me a text that says, hey, Greg, do
you want to have lunch on Friday? And I would think,
oh my god, he hates me. You're a different kind
of overthare right, Like, oh my god, I think he
hates me?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
And what did I do wrong?
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Okay, he wants to meet and break some bad news.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I tell you, if you ever want to get like
just driven crazy, listen to my wife and my mother
in law speak about something so simple. So what do
you think the plan is for tomorrow?
Speaker 6 (07:51):
Well?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
I think maybe, yeah, that's a good idea. Well actually,
and then that'll go on for an hour. Oh, somebody
make the call, don't I know? After a while, you
got to just make a decision. But back to the
niquill getting hooked on stuff thing. Not last week, but
the week before.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
I was so insanely overwhelmed with everything that I got
a prescription for xanax and I did try it. I
started with smartt No. I took half and it did
work a little bit to make me drowsy. It didn't
really calm me down, but it made me drowsy. Then
I took a full one the following day had a
great night sleep. So I have a good amount of
(08:33):
XENX pills in my possession and I have not taken
one because of what we're talking about.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
You got them legitimately, Oh yeah, through my doctor, and
I have.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
I took one and a half so far in the
course of two weeks because I don't want to be
like that where I think, oh, every night.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
X X, so I can be drowsy for XENX exactly.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
So I still have it and I'm not even using
it even though it helped, because I don't want to
be that.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Guy now this weekend, So tomorrow after the show, maybe
I may yeah, yeah, maybe go home and pop his
annex and like try to get like a really good
because it's the end of the week. That's you when
you're gonna bet you're most tired and just try to
shut it down. I'm gonna love this dude, Greg Zanny Gory, right, yeah,
(09:23):
And then you can text me whatever you want and
I won't think you hate me. Yeah, to this guy,
And it's funny, he said the because we did start
with He was like, we're gonna get you to meditate
for thirty seconds, but we start with ten seconds where
I just want you to clear your brain and don't
think about anything. And here's how it went. You know,
close your eyes, just follow my voice, deep breath, right,
(09:44):
and I go all right, and then he goes, all right,
now we're gonna clear our mind and we're not gonna
think about anything at all for ten seconds, and I
went all right, Yeah, how long has it been?
Speaker 8 (09:56):
Right?
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Like two seconds? And I'm my holy crab, how long?
But they can't learn that on day one.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
That's so unrealistic. I have even learned this, but it
took me ten years.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Ten seconds. No, No, that is way too longtime.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
Ten seconds is a long time. If you can shut
your brain off for ten seconds, that is impressive.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
A friend of mine tried to learn this and she
went to actual classes and it took her about a
year to get to.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
About five seconds.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Wow, So it's not something you can sit down and
just do.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I know, I'm thinking about like five different things right now.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
You're right as we're talking exactly. It's impossible. Yeah, well here,
let's all meditate right now. Here we go.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
Sit or lie comfortably quietly, allow yourself to be here
fully in this moment, with your eyes closed, begin to
connect with your inner world of thought and feeling. Gradually,
let the worship of the external world fade from your awareness.
(11:01):
If you find your mind wandering to other thoughts, don't
let it concern you. Just acknowledge that all that is
being bullied. You're here now, in this place with your
inner stillness. Those bitches can't get under your skin. They
(11:23):
can't even take in a deep breath, now, breathe out.
Just feel the freaking nonsense float away.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Take full deep.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
Breaths, breathing strength. Breathe out bullshit. Allow your breathing to
discover its own, natural, unhurried pace. If your thoughts drift
to the three rings show of your life, okay, bring
your attention back to your breathing, and with each breath
(11:59):
feel your.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Body saying fool that.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
With passive acceptance, just allow distracting thoughts to float by
through that. With each breath you take, your thoughts become
lighter and all the soul eating wool suckers just fall
away into nothing. Take a moment to appreciate the silence.
(12:28):
Those assholes can't pill all over a purity like this,
you are weightless, timeless, without beginning or end, completely relaxed
and free of thought. And as you slowly open your eyes,
creet the world and everything in it with a new,
(12:50):
beautiful breath of fool.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
That does you feel better? I do? I need that
when I snap my fingers listen to that daily welcome back.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Like I couldn't even get through that, like I could
wait for it to be over.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Really Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's great.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I want to lie down, put headphones on listening to that.
All right, So we got a we got a music list, Yeah,
Sammy's past ask Yeah, so we have a list coming
up for you next. Of these are what they say
are the worst songs of the eighties. Were well, I
mean there there were, But I have an issue with
(13:36):
the list because I think there's a lot of songs
on their list that don't belong there a couple of them. Sure,
there's one in particular where I would argue, like it
is it is just the thing to rip on this
song it's the jorts of music. Oh yeah, there's a
lot of that. Nothing wrong with Georts, nothing wrong with
this song that they say is one of the worst
of the eighties. But there's there's a whole list of them.
(13:57):
We'll get to that coming up here next. On this
Thursday morning, phones are open eight seven seven forty four. Woody, oh,
somebody then just drive into a median probably hit us
over the text over to two two nine eight seven
and news this morning of Gene Hackman's death. Yeah, and
(14:19):
super Weird. Well, he's ninety five, was ninety five, so
I wasn't surprised when I saw you die. But in
the details or that it was him, his wife who's
like in her sixties, sixty three, and their dog all
found dead, and they said, there's no uh, you know,
no fishy circumstances. It's probably carbon monoxide dead. What I think. Yeah,
they were found dead at their home in Santa Fe,
(14:41):
New Mexico. Isn't that what happened to weird Al's parents? Yeah,
I think so. Yeah, the carbon monoxide poison ninety five
get into Yeah, he will forever be Lex Luthor from
Man one and two like that. You say, you say
Gene Hackman. That's the first thing I think of. I
don't know what I think of when I think of him.
First bird Cage? Was he in? Oh yeah, of course
(15:04):
he was, that's right. Yeah, he was fabulous in that.
Yeah he was a dad.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Remember, Yes, that was good of him being in a
bunch of stuff.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Right, So long, so long forever? All right, So to
throw back Thursday, and I have another one of these
music lists. I know people say they like these when
we do these these something I saw it was the
worst songs of the eighties? Is this according to experts?
This is according to rolling Stone magazine. Perhaps you've heard
of rolling Stone magazine twice. Yeah, so rolling Stone magazine
(15:36):
says these are the worst songs of the eighties. I'm
gonna play you some clips of those songs. I got
ten of them. But I don't think a lot of
these suck. And so what's your top four is what
I'm gonna ask. So, out of this list, your top
four top four sucking no that you like the most? Like? Yeah? Yeah,
top four that they say that these songs are bad.
(15:58):
I disagree on some of them do suck? And I'll
you know, we can we can you know voice our
opinion on that. But I know it's not my favorite song.
But I do like Europe the Final Countdown. It's so eighties.
It was dramatic and cool. Yeah, I definitely don't hate
(16:21):
its great epic and that's one like I think for
me might be like you know on the fence, like
it's it's like if I never heard it again, would
I be disappointed?
Speaker 4 (16:32):
But if I dive to change the stage right now,
but if I never heard this song, I would be
pretty bummed. I like this song a lot.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Wham, thank you, That's what I was saying, Like, what
do you mean worse songs?
Speaker 8 (16:46):
I tho't.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
It's a great song. I can see why.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
People hate it though, why because it's too happy.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
So bubble gummy to poppy. Great. It is a pop hit. Yeah,
it was a massive hit. Yeah. I know for a
fact people in this room will disagree with this next
one that Rolling Stone put on their list of the
worst songs of the eighties Men without.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Hands, Safety Dan, you can leave.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
The albums behind. I've got a request in this room
to play Safety Dance on a throwback Thursday. That's right,
we can and we won't do. And no one song
(17:43):
I hate it's I don't hate any of these songs
so far, right, like from a London Down, I hate
that song?
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Oh really yeah from a London Yeah, who.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Says that song? That is why am I balanking on
their names? Men at work? Was that also ment at work?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Well this was men without hats, and that is men
at work? Oh yeah, okay, see getting from the singer.
I think if you're met at work calling something or other,
he's got to callin. Hey. I believe he's in a
great voice. Yeah all right, So again from and this
is no particular order that I'm going in here. So
they say these are the ten worst songs of the eighties,
(18:22):
according to Rolling Stone magazine, Tony Basil Mickey to Central Eighties,
(18:47):
right exactly good? Yeah, and uh, I mean look, I
know it gets used, uh you know as a goof
because you get Rick rolling banger. Thank you. You can't
you can't say that the song sucks. Maybe you got
fooled right.
Speaker 6 (19:12):
Now.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
No, Rick Astley has other songs, but I couldn't tell
you what they are until until I hear them, and I.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Go, oh, yeah, I don't even know if I if
I heard it. Really yeah, let's see Rick other songs
than that.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
You know what's funny. I can just imagine the first person.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
And be like, what, I don't really get what it is?
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Well, it'll say, oh my god, Sammy, check out all
this new knitting stuff, and you click on the link
and it pops up as Rick Astley he got and
he got Rick roll. Although links don't show up his
links a lot of time, anymortals show up just as
the like you see what it is? Here's the other
song you would know, Greg.
Speaker 9 (20:02):
Look, yeah, get up with you remember now?
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Right? Yes, all right, back to the okay here, I'll
give you a song I legitimately think blows and definitely
belongs on the list of the worst songs of the eighties.
It's this one when you don't know where to go
(20:34):
to putting on the ritsas taco putting on the rids.
You like, you like this one too, It's fine.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I don't hate any of this stuff.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
So yeah, you can see like a movie scene of
a guy getting all dressed up and it's tough to
do in.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
A dance and Martinez. Yeah, another one that I believe
does belong on the on the ten worst songs of
the eighties. List. I think this belongs on there too, Falco.
Speaker 6 (21:08):
How dare he?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Oh my god, I bought this cassette you did? Yeah,
I loved.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
It. Is some of these we've probably just heard so
many times, but so good.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Good question on the text. So when do we get
to these bad songs?
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I know?
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Yeah, that's really a great question. Also on their list
from Rolling Stone Magazine War Songs in the eighties, Bobby
mcferriny this was on the Cocktail soundtrack remember that, Yes,
a lot with Cocomo from the Beach.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
This is this is a guy that hates.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
The song rightly. So Bobby McFerrin doesn't like it. Really,
what I don't know made him rich.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Because I think I think it's a departure from how
he actually sounds their music.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
You mean your biggest hit. Yeah, it's the first song
on the list that I don't worry, be happy. This
song is so so dude. The song the song I
wrote Man too small, tripping. I'll take that over rock
me on the dais or putting on the ridge. I
think I'm tripping. You're tripping balls right now. You're insane,
(22:32):
all right? I think Greg and I will agree this
song rules. Chris de Burgh like Greg and I will
slow do this. We'll put our tongues in each other's mouth,
will grab ass, will dock hand, and I will rub
Greg until you finish it. Whil to dance to this song?
Speaker 8 (22:55):
Oh yeah about a jam?
Speaker 3 (23:08):
So romantic? Yes you know, no, I don't wow too much.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Love of all the romantic songs, this one, to me,
it was like romantic in a one night stand kind
of way, you know.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
And it hit it and quit because he barely knows.
Somebody said, why are none of you providing the reasons
why you like or don't like these songs? I think
the songs and music you just like that, yeah, like
like the putting on the ritz, I don't like that, Like, oh.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Yeah, it would be easier for us just to put
songs that you know are not our favorite.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
And the rock meamidis to me kind of sounds musical type,
like a stage play kind. So there, do you want
a couple of reasons why? That's why.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
And one of the reason I love Falcot I have
the memory of getting that cassette because I love it now.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
This song that they have on their list they said
was the worst song of the eighties I've seen it
on the top of many lists when it comes to
the worst songs ever, not just of the eighties. And
I think it's the jorts of songs, because there's nothing
wrong with georts, whether you like them or not, but
there's nothing wrong with them. I'm using that as the
(24:24):
example because it's something there. But like all of a sudden,
people started hating on it, you know, like you who
hates on Starship? We built this City. It's a great
song because I always see it on these lists, and
then whenever it gets discussed, I don't know anybody who's
ever made an argument that, yeah, it does suck. I agree,
(24:47):
it sucks. It's a great song, and so many risks. Yes,
it's so hated. Well, Starship in general called rations, changing
comporation games.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
I want to do aerobics right now.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Figure the Jane Fondas and leggings. The calls responsible this
this come on with the hook? That's a great song.
(25:48):
Is a great song, all right? Yeah, it seems like
you guys loved a lot of these songs. A lot
of people are saying, what do we get to the
bad ones? You got to pick your top four tout
for bad ones, which that's easier.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
You want to do the bad ones, Yeah, you have
to get four bad ones.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Four bad's the ones that I could probably the one without.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
I love hearing the songs.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Okay, but I'll just say the ones that you know,
all right?
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Yeah, So all right, text yours over to So what
would be if if you had the pick of that list?
These are four that? Okay, fine, Rolling Stone, I could
go the rest of my life with never hearing that again.
Hit us up on the text over to two two
ninety seven. We'll get our thoughts together. We'll share our
four picks when we come back next on the WOODI Show.
Hang on.
Speaker 8 (26:42):
Woody Show.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
All right, we got some other votes coming into other
worst songs in the eighties. I like this one either, Yeah,
blinded me with Science Science, I hate it, so it's hilarious.
I don't like that one. Also, uh, Sunglasses at Night?
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Oh I war my songs that night?
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Yeah, Jenny eight six five whatever night? Right? Oh yeah right, yeah,
I don't know. Maybe maybe because it's just one of
those cliche cliche song. Now, you know, somebody said their
top four worst We build the City. We built the city.
Number three, We build the city. And then you guessed
(27:34):
at number four with Jefferson Starship. Yeah, and that was Starship,
by the way, it wasn't Jefferson.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
I love Jefferson Starship.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Yeah yeah, it's like, not John Cougar Mellencamp, it's just
John Mellencamp. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
I think that's why they got so much hate, because
they kept cut, you know, going from Jefferson Airplane to
Jefferson Starship to the Starship, right.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
And then you have Cobra Starship.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
I don't even don't even get me started on Cobra
stars which that was what Cobra Starship was like two
thousand and six. Yeah, that was what somebody else said, Well,
what about Chumble Womba tub Thumbing that was ninety seven.
That's not even the eighties. Yeah, that's that's not that's
not the eighties at all. Somebody said, what about old
Town Road? Okay, yeah, old Town there's another one on
(28:19):
the text there, worse for the Final Countdown, Safety Dance Mickey,
and then putting on the Ritz, all right, And then
somebody said they're filling up their playlist because these are
all songs they had completely forgot about, totally substitute up
the aenis for Amadaeus, and then that changes the whole
outlook on the song. Somebody says, yes again, okay, let's see,
(28:42):
all right, let's see as in your car's changing.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Now.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Of course, like what he's doing on the way home
from today.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
You don't know where to go to, where you're gonna
put it just dumping on.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Her substitute writs blowsy, I need to take.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
A Yeah, hey, you can do that too. I have to,
I really need to. There's some there's so many fun
things that you can do, you know, right, the Woody Show.
All right, So these are the songs that Rolling Stone had.
Is the ten worst songs of the eighties, Starship, We
(29:43):
Built this City, You're up, the Final Countdown, Chris de Burgh,
Lady in Red, Wham, wake Me Up before you go go,
Men Without Hats, The Sainty Dance, Falco, Rock Me Amedeus,
Bobby McFerrin, Don't Worry, Be Happy, Tony Basil, Mickey Taco,
putting on the Ritz, and Rick Astley never Gonna Give
(30:04):
You Up. Those are the ten, they said the worst
songs from the eighties. We asked everybody here in the
studio to give me their four which one do they
think are actually bad? It's like you could go the
rest of your life with never hearing again. Now we
all said there was cert least somebody in the room
that liked every one of these songs.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Yeah, I don't mind any of these.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Yeah, I will start with Greg Gory your worst four.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
The top two for me were easy Bobby McFerrin Don't Worry,
Be Happy, how dorky, annoying, and it was a big
deal that he didn't have music. He used his voice.
Who cares, It's a terrible song. And then number two,
You're not gonna believe this. I don't like the song
Wham Wake me Up before you go go, my least
favorite Wham song. It's well two cutesy, poppy. And then
(30:49):
we had to wait for George Michael to come out
after that song please, And then the rest were just
kind of just narrowing it down, like I like them all,
but I could do I guess without europe.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
A countdown okay? And men without hats safety Wow, no kidding,
all right, menace.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Yeah, I'm gonna do Don't Worry be Happy? Uh Lady
in Red Mickey and uh Taco. Yeah, I mean again,
I like all those songs. But if I had to,
you know, pick the ones that, all right, you're not
gonna have the opportunity to listen to ever again.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
I'll pick those, all right, Sammy.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
The ones that I don't like, Safety Dance, never Gonna
give you up, Falco and Don't Worry Be Happy.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Wow, so much hate for Don't Worry Be Happy because
it sucks, all right? The four and number one of
the one that I hate it and I never want
to hear it again, Taco put on the writs So
Blonde Rock miyamidais from Falco is my second hated song
and I literally hate, like, actually I don't hate it,
but I could do with that at Europe the Final
(31:57):
Countdown and then number four Tony Bazil Mickey Interesting. Yeah,
it's just so annoying. It's the same time all the thing.
Hey Mickeygee, Hey Mickey, everything is just scream It just screams.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
You know what I mean, Hey Mickey, I could beat
Hey Micky hate.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
I guess it's like, did it make so fun?
Speaker 3 (32:18):
It was a broadband before the internet, you know what
I'm saying. Get get all right? Well, thank you everybody
for your feedback on the text over to two to
nine eight. So it's already said. All eighty songs are awesome,

Speaker 3 (00:40):
It's Thursday morning. It's a free Friday. It's February the
twenty seventh, twenty twenty five. Appreciate you being here, Woody, Greg,
Good morning, there's Menace. Hi, we have Sammy right seed Mass.
We are Gina free today because Gina and I think
she'll be back tomorrow. I was texting with her yesterday.
She has I think spoken five words. Word's good because
(01:01):
she's been talking to yeah, trying to get her voice
back there. And Gidas also, I think it touched the flu. Yeah, sure,
her uh, her fever was down to like one hundred
yesterday morning, but still that's a day's long fever. Yeah.
But then but then by uh, the afternoon yesterday, I
guess there was no more fever. So I said she
was gonna come in today. And I'm like, you know
(01:23):
what with greg kind of being on the yeah fence,
although though my wife is convinced that it's just stress.
I'm dressed. You need to hidrate, She's.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Probably right, yeah, and I am hydrating and I'm not sleeping, so.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Oh, okay, I'll catch up soon. That's good.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Yeah, you're still not sleeping, not really really no, and
I'm not drinking, so it's not I can't blame because
a lot of people say, oh, you sleep worse when
you drink. So I'm taking days off of drinking and
I'm seeing, oh maybe tonight I'll sleep great because I'm
not drinking.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Oh, now you're getting get your head about not sleeping.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Yeah, pretty much. But I don't have a fever. I
feel totally fine. Yeah, it's just I wake up with
sore throat, which then kind of goes away by kind
of about now.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
You know what doesn't work and I've tried a number
of times that melatonin really yeah, I mean somebody goes, oh, well,
didn't just take a night quill or take.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Day though I don't like that.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Night quill doesn't make me feel groggy. But what I
don't want to do, and this is not when I'm sick,
this is just for like, oh, you're having a hard
time sleeping, you have like a week where you're getting
terrible sleep, and oh, take tailand hall PM or take nice.
I don't want to start doing that. That makes that
makes me nervous. And I know I'm like a big pussy.
You know, I've never done cocaine hard drugs, but I
just don't like the idea. And I'm not one of
(02:41):
those people who's afraid of medication, Like I'll take a
medication over the counter, prescription medication. You know, it's fine.
I understand. I do take some daily stuff, so it's
not that I'm afraid of it. It's just I think
that might be a bad idea.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Oh it's tough to stop. I got sick and started
taking Nikequill on the weekend, and then I was still sick,
but I wasn't doing it during the week because I
was nervous about being groggy and not waking up that
I was looking forward to niquill on the weekend and
I couldn't wait, and I did. One of the nights
I did.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Have it when I really didn't need to go out
in the streets.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Will Yeah, sip and scissor so.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Greg and I've always mentioned about how we feel weird
even if we're not doing anything wrong. Let's say we're
going exactly a speed limit, but there's a cop behind you.
Makes you nervous and you get nervous about it. I
also get nervous when I go to the pharmacy and
I go to buy suda fed or musin X. Do
you something you got to show your license for? Yeah,
I always feel weird. I'm like, are thinking I think
I'm some kind of like you know, meth cook they do, Yeah, right.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
I always think they're thinking, like, hmm, I think that
going through the TSA, I have nothing nefarious in my bag.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
I'm totally normal on it. No, I don't care about it.
I need to stand up straight. I need to people
like you know.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
What I really need to do is sit down and
actually learn the method that they say the Marines use
where you fall asleep within two minutes, like breathing activity am.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
You can do it sitting. You can even do it standing. Really,
that sounds impossible, And I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
It's on YouTube.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
No, because it's a way that it shuts you down
enough that you recharge, like mentally okay, and then you
don't feel fuzzy.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Why don't they.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Teach this to everybody? We all need this.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
It's out there. I mean, I know what medicine to
talk about. It's out there, just in list, that's all.
I don't think I can. Okay, I just don't think
I can do it because, like Greg, I'll get in
my head out this is the way. I can't. I
tried the meditation thing. I can't do it, can't. I
couldn't do that to save my life. I have too
many emails and we have we have a coworker at
one of the other radio stations here and he was
trying to like walk me through just a basic thirty
(04:42):
second meditation and I couldn't do it.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
He's like, Woodie, you love it. Thirty is way too
lofty a goal. Well, thirty second, you're learning I think
the goal is ten seconds.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Oh yeah, Well I mean, really, it's like one second.
It's very hard to learn to shut your brain off,
but I mean it's so worth it, and it it
takes a long time. You're not gonna get it the
first time meditate it. Oh my god, I swear in
my life it took me ten years. Oh no, it
took me ten years. I was meditating all the time.
But I started, like guided meditation is how I started.
(05:14):
And it wasn't like shutting off my brain necessarily immediately.
Was just like being able to relax and things like that. Oh,
I can shut my brain off.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I don't believe it. I don't believe. You're one of
the biggest overthinkers that I know, next to Greg no bored.
Do you buy that that Sammy is not an overthinker?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Well you think that she can think that she can meditate,
like shut her brain down long enough to meditate, Morgan,
do you think so? Yeah? She definitely can you think?
Speaker 6 (05:45):
So?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Really?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I believe she can shut her brain off and overthink things.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Yeah. I go with that. You both and the only
time she really shuts her brain off to the d UIQ.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Yeah, here's what I'll say, my overthinking. If you think
it's bad. Now you should have known me before.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
No, no, no, comparatively, but Sam, you seem like a
very centered and an emotionally regulated person comes from.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
Meditative I am, though, like I don't know. I guess
I don't. I mean, when I first started this job,
I was very stressed about learning everything, and there's a
lot that goes into this job.
Speaker 7 (06:23):
But I'm not.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
I wouldn't even consider myself an overthinker, and I like, truly, yes,
a stressed out person. So it's interesting to me that
that's I guess what all.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Of you not overthinker? Maybe over a complicator.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
No, I don't, and I don't mean it as a
as an insult or a negative thing me neither. Like
my mom is an overthinker, and so she will just
keep thinking, like okay, at some point, just do it right,
Like at some point, like for her it's like just
do it, stop thinking about it, and do it. For you,
you will think about something, start doing something, and then
(06:59):
wait a minute, kind of ask it like a bunch
of different questions or like you were just constantly you
see what I'm saying, like the processes.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
But that's here because I'm doing a task and wanting
to do it the way that you want me to. Okay,
So I will stop to make sure I'm doing what
you want. It's not in overthinking or even really over complicating,
it's making sure that it's what you want.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
See what plagues me in the overthinking world is you
could send me a text that says, hey, Greg, do
you want to have lunch on Friday? And I would think,
oh my god, he hates me. You're a different kind
of overthare right, Like, oh my god, I think he
hates me?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
And what did I do wrong?
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Okay, he wants to meet and break some bad news.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I tell you, if you ever want to get like
just driven crazy, listen to my wife and my mother
in law speak about something so simple. So what do
you think the plan is for tomorrow?
Speaker 6 (07:51):
Well?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
I think maybe, yeah, that's a good idea. Well actually,
and then that'll go on for an hour. Oh, somebody
make the call, don't I know? After a while, you
got to just make a decision. But back to the
niquill getting hooked on stuff thing. Not last week, but
the week before.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
I was so insanely overwhelmed with everything that I got
a prescription for xanax and I did try it. I
started with smartt No. I took half and it did
work a little bit to make me drowsy. It didn't
really calm me down, but it made me drowsy. Then
I took a full one the following day had a
great night sleep. So I have a good amount of
(08:33):
XENX pills in my possession and I have not taken
one because of what we're talking about.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
You got them legitimately, Oh yeah, through my doctor, and
I have.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
I took one and a half so far in the
course of two weeks because I don't want to be
like that where I think, oh, every night.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
X X, so I can be drowsy for XENX exactly.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
So I still have it and I'm not even using
it even though it helped, because I don't want to
be that.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Guy now this weekend, So tomorrow after the show, maybe
I may yeah, yeah, maybe go home and pop his
annex and like try to get like a really good
because it's the end of the week. That's you when
you're gonna bet you're most tired and just try to
shut it down. I'm gonna love this dude, Greg Zanny Gory, right, yeah,
(09:23):
And then you can text me whatever you want and
I won't think you hate me. Yeah, to this guy,
And it's funny, he said the because we did start
with He was like, we're gonna get you to meditate
for thirty seconds, but we start with ten seconds where
I just want you to clear your brain and don't
think about anything. And here's how it went. You know,
close your eyes, just follow my voice, deep breath, right,
(09:44):
and I go all right, and then he goes, all right,
now we're gonna clear our mind and we're not gonna
think about anything at all for ten seconds, and I
went all right, Yeah, how long has it been?
Speaker 8 (09:56):
Right?
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Like two seconds? And I'm my holy crab, how long?
But they can't learn that on day one.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
That's so unrealistic. I have even learned this, but it
took me ten years.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Ten seconds. No, No, that is way too longtime.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
Ten seconds is a long time. If you can shut
your brain off for ten seconds, that is impressive.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
A friend of mine tried to learn this and she
went to actual classes and it took her about a
year to get to.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
About five seconds.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Wow, So it's not something you can sit down and
just do.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I know, I'm thinking about like five different things right now.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
You're right as we're talking exactly. It's impossible. Yeah, well here,
let's all meditate right now. Here we go.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
Sit or lie comfortably quietly, allow yourself to be here
fully in this moment, with your eyes closed, begin to
connect with your inner world of thought and feeling. Gradually,
let the worship of the external world fade from your awareness.
(11:01):
If you find your mind wandering to other thoughts, don't
let it concern you. Just acknowledge that all that is
being bullied. You're here now, in this place with your
inner stillness. Those bitches can't get under your skin. They
(11:23):
can't even take in a deep breath, now, breathe out.
Just feel the freaking nonsense float away.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Take full deep.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
Breaths, breathing strength. Breathe out bullshit. Allow your breathing to
discover its own, natural, unhurried pace. If your thoughts drift
to the three rings show of your life, okay, bring
your attention back to your breathing, and with each breath
(11:59):
feel your.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Body saying fool that.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
With passive acceptance, just allow distracting thoughts to float by
through that. With each breath you take, your thoughts become
lighter and all the soul eating wool suckers just fall
away into nothing. Take a moment to appreciate the silence.
(12:28):
Those assholes can't pill all over a purity like this,
you are weightless, timeless, without beginning or end, completely relaxed
and free of thought. And as you slowly open your eyes,
creet the world and everything in it with a new,
(12:50):
beautiful breath of fool.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
That does you feel better? I do? I need that
when I snap my fingers listen to that daily welcome back.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Like I couldn't even get through that, like I could
wait for it to be over.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Really Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's great.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I want to lie down, put headphones on listening to that.
All right, So we got a we got a music list, Yeah,
Sammy's past ask Yeah, so we have a list coming
up for you next. Of these are what they say
are the worst songs of the eighties. Were well, I
mean there there were, But I have an issue with
(13:36):
the list because I think there's a lot of songs
on their list that don't belong there a couple of them. Sure,
there's one in particular where I would argue, like it
is it is just the thing to rip on this
song it's the jorts of music. Oh yeah, there's a
lot of that. Nothing wrong with Georts, nothing wrong with
this song that they say is one of the worst
of the eighties. But there's there's a whole list of them.
(13:57):
We'll get to that coming up here next. On this
Thursday morning, phones are open eight seven seven forty four. Woody, oh,
somebody then just drive into a median probably hit us
over the text over to two two nine eight seven
and news this morning of Gene Hackman's death. Yeah, and
(14:19):
super Weird. Well, he's ninety five, was ninety five, so
I wasn't surprised when I saw you die. But in
the details or that it was him, his wife who's
like in her sixties, sixty three, and their dog all
found dead, and they said, there's no uh, you know,
no fishy circumstances. It's probably carbon monoxide dead. What I think. Yeah,
they were found dead at their home in Santa Fe,
(14:41):
New Mexico. Isn't that what happened to weird Al's parents? Yeah,
I think so. Yeah, the carbon monoxide poison ninety five
get into Yeah, he will forever be Lex Luthor from
Man one and two like that. You say, you say
Gene Hackman. That's the first thing I think of. I
don't know what I think of when I think of him.
First bird Cage? Was he in? Oh yeah, of course
(15:04):
he was, that's right. Yeah, he was fabulous in that.
Yeah he was a dad.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Remember, Yes, that was good of him being in a
bunch of stuff.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Right, So long, so long forever? All right, So to
throw back Thursday, and I have another one of these
music lists. I know people say they like these when
we do these these something I saw it was the
worst songs of the eighties? Is this according to experts?
This is according to rolling Stone magazine. Perhaps you've heard
of rolling Stone magazine twice. Yeah, so rolling Stone magazine
(15:36):
says these are the worst songs of the eighties. I'm
gonna play you some clips of those songs. I got
ten of them. But I don't think a lot of
these suck. And so what's your top four is what
I'm gonna ask. So, out of this list, your top
four top four sucking no that you like the most? Like? Yeah? Yeah,
top four that they say that these songs are bad.
(15:58):
I disagree on some of them do suck? And I'll
you know, we can we can you know voice our
opinion on that. But I know it's not my favorite song.
But I do like Europe the Final Countdown. It's so eighties.
It was dramatic and cool. Yeah, I definitely don't hate
(16:21):
its great epic and that's one like I think for
me might be like you know on the fence, like
it's it's like if I never heard it again, would
I be disappointed?
Speaker 4 (16:32):
But if I dive to change the stage right now,
but if I never heard this song, I would be
pretty bummed. I like this song a lot.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Wham, thank you, That's what I was saying, Like, what
do you mean worse songs?
Speaker 8 (16:46):
I tho't.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
It's a great song. I can see why.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
People hate it though, why because it's too happy.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
So bubble gummy to poppy. Great. It is a pop hit. Yeah,
it was a massive hit. Yeah. I know for a
fact people in this room will disagree with this next
one that Rolling Stone put on their list of the
worst songs of the eighties Men without.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Hands, Safety Dan, you can leave.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
The albums behind. I've got a request in this room
to play Safety Dance on a throwback Thursday. That's right,
we can and we won't do. And no one song
(17:43):
I hate it's I don't hate any of these songs
so far, right, like from a London Down, I hate
that song?
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Oh really yeah from a London Yeah, who.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Says that song? That is why am I balanking on
their names? Men at work? Was that also ment at work?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Well this was men without hats, and that is men
at work? Oh yeah, okay, see getting from the singer.
I think if you're met at work calling something or other,
he's got to callin. Hey. I believe he's in a
great voice. Yeah all right, So again from and this
is no particular order that I'm going in here. So
they say these are the ten worst songs of the eighties,
(18:22):
according to Rolling Stone magazine, Tony Basil Mickey to Central Eighties,
(18:47):
right exactly good? Yeah, and uh, I mean look, I
know it gets used, uh you know as a goof
because you get Rick rolling banger. Thank you. You can't
you can't say that the song sucks. Maybe you got
fooled right.
Speaker 6 (19:12):
Now.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
No, Rick Astley has other songs, but I couldn't tell
you what they are until until I hear them, and I.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Go, oh, yeah, I don't even know if I if
I heard it. Really yeah, let's see Rick other songs
than that.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
You know what's funny. I can just imagine the first person.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
And be like, what, I don't really get what it is?
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Well, it'll say, oh my god, Sammy, check out all
this new knitting stuff, and you click on the link
and it pops up as Rick Astley he got and
he got Rick roll. Although links don't show up his
links a lot of time, anymortals show up just as
the like you see what it is? Here's the other
song you would know, Greg.
Speaker 9 (20:02):
Look, yeah, get up with you remember now?
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Right? Yes, all right, back to the okay here, I'll
give you a song I legitimately think blows and definitely
belongs on the list of the worst songs of the eighties.
It's this one when you don't know where to go
(20:34):
to putting on the ritsas taco putting on the rids.
You like, you like this one too, It's fine.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I don't hate any of this stuff.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
So yeah, you can see like a movie scene of
a guy getting all dressed up and it's tough to
do in.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
A dance and Martinez. Yeah, another one that I believe
does belong on the on the ten worst songs of
the eighties. List. I think this belongs on there too, Falco.
Speaker 6 (21:08):
How dare he?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Oh my god, I bought this cassette you did? Yeah,
I loved.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
It. Is some of these we've probably just heard so
many times, but so good.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Good question on the text. So when do we get
to these bad songs?
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I know?
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Yeah, that's really a great question. Also on their list
from Rolling Stone Magazine War Songs in the eighties, Bobby
mcferriny this was on the Cocktail soundtrack remember that, Yes,
a lot with Cocomo from the Beach.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
This is this is a guy that hates.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
The song rightly. So Bobby McFerrin doesn't like it. Really,
what I don't know made him rich.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Because I think I think it's a departure from how
he actually sounds their music.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
You mean your biggest hit. Yeah, it's the first song
on the list that I don't worry, be happy. This
song is so so dude. The song the song I
wrote Man too small, tripping. I'll take that over rock
me on the dais or putting on the ridge. I
think I'm tripping. You're tripping balls right now. You're insane,
(22:32):
all right? I think Greg and I will agree this
song rules. Chris de Burgh like Greg and I will
slow do this. We'll put our tongues in each other's mouth,
will grab ass, will dock hand, and I will rub
Greg until you finish it. Whil to dance to this song?
Speaker 8 (22:55):
Oh yeah about a jam?
Speaker 3 (23:08):
So romantic? Yes you know, no, I don't wow too much.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Love of all the romantic songs, this one, to me,
it was like romantic in a one night stand kind
of way, you know.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
And it hit it and quit because he barely knows.
Somebody said, why are none of you providing the reasons
why you like or don't like these songs? I think
the songs and music you just like that, yeah, like
like the putting on the ritz, I don't like that, Like, oh.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Yeah, it would be easier for us just to put
songs that you know are not our favorite.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
And the rock meamidis to me kind of sounds musical type,
like a stage play kind. So there, do you want
a couple of reasons why? That's why.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
And one of the reason I love Falcot I have
the memory of getting that cassette because I love it now.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
This song that they have on their list they said
was the worst song of the eighties I've seen it
on the top of many lists when it comes to
the worst songs ever, not just of the eighties. And
I think it's the jorts of songs, because there's nothing
wrong with georts, whether you like them or not, but
there's nothing wrong with them. I'm using that as the
(24:24):
example because it's something there. But like all of a sudden,
people started hating on it, you know, like you who
hates on Starship? We built this City. It's a great
song because I always see it on these lists, and
then whenever it gets discussed, I don't know anybody who's
ever made an argument that, yeah, it does suck. I agree,
(24:47):
it sucks. It's a great song, and so many risks. Yes,
it's so hated. Well, Starship in general called rations, changing
comporation games.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
I want to do aerobics right now.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Figure the Jane Fondas and leggings. The calls responsible this
this come on with the hook? That's a great song.
(25:48):
Is a great song, all right? Yeah, it seems like
you guys loved a lot of these songs. A lot
of people are saying, what do we get to the
bad ones? You got to pick your top four tout
for bad ones, which that's easier.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
You want to do the bad ones, Yeah, you have
to get four bad ones.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Four bad's the ones that I could probably the one without.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
I love hearing the songs.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Okay, but I'll just say the ones that you know,
all right?
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Yeah, So all right, text yours over to So what
would be if if you had the pick of that list?
These are four that? Okay, fine, Rolling Stone, I could
go the rest of my life with never hearing that again.
Hit us up on the text over to two two
ninety seven. We'll get our thoughts together. We'll share our
four picks when we come back next on the WOODI Show.
Hang on.
Speaker 8 (26:42):
Woody Show.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
All right, we got some other votes coming into other
worst songs in the eighties. I like this one either, Yeah,
blinded me with Science Science, I hate it, so it's hilarious.
I don't like that one. Also, uh, Sunglasses at Night?
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Oh I war my songs that night?
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Yeah, Jenny eight six five whatever night? Right? Oh yeah right, yeah,
I don't know. Maybe maybe because it's just one of
those cliche cliche song. Now, you know, somebody said their
top four worst We build the City. We built the city.
Number three, We build the city. And then you guessed
(27:34):
at number four with Jefferson Starship. Yeah, and that was Starship,
by the way, it wasn't Jefferson.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
I love Jefferson Starship.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Yeah yeah, it's like, not John Cougar Mellencamp, it's just
John Mellencamp. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
I think that's why they got so much hate, because
they kept cut, you know, going from Jefferson Airplane to
Jefferson Starship to the Starship, right.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
And then you have Cobra Starship.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
I don't even don't even get me started on Cobra
stars which that was what Cobra Starship was like two
thousand and six. Yeah, that was what somebody else said, Well,
what about Chumble Womba tub Thumbing that was ninety seven.
That's not even the eighties. Yeah, that's that's not that's
not the eighties at all. Somebody said, what about old
Town Road? Okay, yeah, old Town there's another one on
(28:19):
the text there, worse for the Final Countdown, Safety Dance Mickey,
and then putting on the Ritz, all right, And then
somebody said they're filling up their playlist because these are
all songs they had completely forgot about, totally substitute up
the aenis for Amadaeus, and then that changes the whole
outlook on the song. Somebody says, yes again, okay, let's see,
(28:42):
all right, let's see as in your car's changing.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Now.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Of course, like what he's doing on the way home
from today.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
You don't know where to go to, where you're gonna
put it just dumping on.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Her substitute writs blowsy, I need to take.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
A Yeah, hey, you can do that too. I have to,
I really need to. There's some there's so many fun
things that you can do, you know, right, the Woody Show.
All right, So these are the songs that Rolling Stone had.
Is the ten worst songs of the eighties, Starship, We
(29:43):
Built this City, You're up, the Final Countdown, Chris de Burgh,
Lady in Red, Wham, wake Me Up before you go go,
Men Without Hats, The Sainty Dance, Falco, Rock Me Amedeus,
Bobby McFerrin, Don't Worry, Be Happy, Tony Basil, Mickey Taco,
putting on the Ritz, and Rick Astley never Gonna Give
(30:04):
You Up. Those are the ten, they said the worst
songs from the eighties. We asked everybody here in the
studio to give me their four which one do they
think are actually bad? It's like you could go the
rest of your life with never hearing again. Now we
all said there was cert least somebody in the room
that liked every one of these songs.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Yeah, I don't mind any of these.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Yeah, I will start with Greg Gory your worst four.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
The top two for me were easy Bobby McFerrin Don't Worry,
Be Happy, how dorky, annoying, and it was a big
deal that he didn't have music. He used his voice.
Who cares, It's a terrible song. And then number two,
You're not gonna believe this. I don't like the song
Wham Wake me Up before you go go, my least
favorite Wham song. It's well two cutesy, poppy. And then
(30:49):
we had to wait for George Michael to come out
after that song please, And then the rest were just
kind of just narrowing it down, like I like them all,
but I could do I guess without europe.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
A countdown okay? And men without hats safety Wow, no kidding,
all right, menace.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Yeah, I'm gonna do Don't Worry be Happy? Uh Lady
in Red Mickey and uh Taco. Yeah, I mean again,
I like all those songs. But if I had to,
you know, pick the ones that, all right, you're not
gonna have the opportunity to listen to ever again.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
I'll pick those, all right, Sammy.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
The ones that I don't like, Safety Dance, never Gonna
give you up, Falco and Don't Worry Be Happy.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Wow, so much hate for Don't Worry Be Happy because
it sucks, all right? The four and number one of
the one that I hate it and I never want
to hear it again, Taco put on the writs So
Blonde Rock miyamidais from Falco is my second hated song
and I literally hate, like, actually I don't hate it,
but I could do with that at Europe the Final
(31:57):
Countdown and then number four Tony Bazil Mickey Interesting. Yeah,
it's just so annoying. It's the same time all the thing.
Hey Mickeygee, Hey Mickey, everything is just scream It just screams.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
You know what I mean, Hey Mickey, I could beat
Hey Micky hate.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
I guess it's like, did it make so fun?
Speaker 3 (32:18):
It was a broadband before the internet, you know what
I'm saying. Get get all right? Well, thank you everybody
for your feedback on the text over to two to
nine eight. So it's already said. All eighty songs are awesome,
even the bad ones. One better than any new song
played on the radio today. And for the most part,
