are you reading them? Okay? Hey, everybody, Welcome to another
exciting episode of the Seventies Bullz podcast, where your hosts
me and him talk about stuff from the seventies.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
I'm just going over this list, and I know you
all are wondering near time. What list you talking about?

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Lists are they talking about? Well, there's a list. There
is a list, but we've got other things to get
to first before we get to that exciting list. First thing,
you didn't really have much of a Thanksgiving. You you
didn't go down to your families, and now I got
to hang out at the.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
Nursing home. Be a nursing home.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yeah, it was kind of a kind of a weird Thanksgiving.
So we went to my brother in law, Steve's, but
they had had Thanksgiving meal the weekend before, so we
ate chili, so it didn't really feel like Thanksgiving. It
was anyway. And I and we'll talk about this on
the Bushead Radio, But I watched two episodes of Stranger

(02:20):
Things Wednesday night on purpose, saving two episodes for Thanksgiving Day.
So I just ran down and ate and came back
so I could watch Stranger Things.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
You couldn't watch Stranger Things down there.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Well, they were going to Wicked. They bought tickets and
wanted to go to Wicked too, And I didn't want
to go to wicked too. Plus I didn't want to
spend the whole day just sitting there on a couch.
I like to be on my computer at least getting
some things done while I'm watching. So I rarely just
sit down and just watch something. Oh I'm always doing

(02:55):
something else while I'm watching, So you might miss something
I do. That's why sometimes have to go back and rewatch.
So I could even maybe go back and rewatch those four.
So but anyway, we'll talk about that on anything else.
We got a little quick we talked about Have we
talked about Graham on here anyway? Yeah, I don't know

(03:20):
if you guys have seen my posts on social media.
Graham had a seizure, I don't know, two and a
half or so weeks ago. They said keep an eye
on him. Anyway, he had two more this weekend. So
we've got him on seizure medication so he should be fine.
So quick Graham update there, Everyone say prayer for the

(03:41):
four mister Saucy pinch. Okay, well, Dave called.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
Dave called, Yeah, sorry about that audio last week. Folks
were definitely have to do something.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Oh yeah, that's another thing. So we So you say
you went back and listened to it and it was
pretty bad. Yeah, And you could.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
Barely hear the turkey stuff, the WKRP stuff.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
So I think I almost think my microphone it wasn't
somehow hooked up and it was just recording me from
your microphone in the computer.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
That's almost Yeah. And I don't know why. I don't
know if something happened to the mixer. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Anyway. Our solution is we're at the Shaggy Duck studio
and we'll just continue to record here until we get
the microphone or mixer or combination of the two fixed
over at Todd Studio. And I have not had time
to mess with it. Yeah, So we apologize it. Really,
we recorded a little bit and played it back and

(04:44):
it didn't sound that bad. But that was kind of
like when I did the fourteen year old episode. When
I played it back, our voices sounded really fourteen, and
then but once we got in the episode, they changed
it just faded away or something. Yeah, So I guess
last week's episode it just must have got worse as
a I don't know, but we apologize for the bad

(05:04):
sound quality. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
Yeah, so you'll all get your money back.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
You get your money back. Dave thought the Peanuts episode
was good and then ask me about a I haven't
done a Zinkies podcast episode in a while, so I
will try to. I would love to get an episode
done this week, so I'll try to squeeze something in. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
Yeah, Larry from Washington called Hey Larry, Larry, Yes, thank
you so much for doing all that. The Facebook seventies page.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
It's a group group, seventies Buzz Facebook group. And if
you if you don't check the seventies Buzz Facebook group,
Larry did all the top songs. We had the final
and if you didn't check Hotel California, which I predicted

(05:59):
twisodes ago or something that it would win. So Hotel California,
which that's pretty much Stairway to Heaven and Hotel California.
I don't know how Stairway to Heaven because it never
reached number one maybe, but yeah, those are iconic seventy
songs that I one hundred years from now, people are
going to still be talking about those. So thanks for
doing that, Larry. And now he's doing one hit Wonders.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
Yeah, and you got to go back and listen to
some of those.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Because you don't recognize him by the title.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
When you play and be like, oh, yeah, that was
a great song.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
So that could be an episode which I don't know
if we've done when similar to that, but songs that
we didn't know the titles what the titles were. Oh yeah,
because there's a lot of songs, I'll be like, oh,
I know that, and then I'll see the title. I'll
be like, oh, I had no clue that's what the
title of that song was. Yeah, they did a lot
of that back then. Yeah, he thought he went back

(06:53):
and listened to the High School Junior High episode with
Mark Mankin. He thinks Mark Mankin sounds like Christopher.

Speaker 4 (06:59):
Todd and he kind of does, and they have a
similar background.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
We'll have to go I might have to check that
out and listen to it. But yeah, I can see
that as well. And we need to get Mark back
on the show. It's been a while since we had
him on. Yeah, it's got to keep the leash on him.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
And he also listened to the Number One Songs of
the Seventies, which is actually our best episode.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
It's the most downloaded. It's continually, continuously continually, it gets
downloaded a lot even today, and that was back in
twenty eighteen. Yeah, and I think we've said before that
our seventies music episodes tend to do better than all
the rest of them. Yeah, yes, David, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
Steve from San Antonio called, yep, he liked the fourteen
year old podcast, but.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
He knew instantly and then once I said, anyway.

Speaker 4 (07:55):
Yeah, even though I must admit I can't remember Curtis
saying that back in the seventies.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
I'm telling you, I think I get it from my
wife because she says it all the time.

Speaker 4 (08:07):
Probably I don't remember you saying that. So yeah, yeah,
and shall we confess?

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, sorry, Steve. We you guys have to take whatever
we say about Gretchen with a grain of salt. Yeah. No,
Gretchen did not fall for it. She how many phone
calls did she give us after that episode? Like ten? Yeah,
she called us like ten times, and they were like

(08:33):
five second messages. But she pointed out.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
On two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen,
sixteen or seventeen.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Okay, so she and so she called every time she
found an error in that podcast. So no, sorry, Steve,
she did not.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
Believe it, so she was just being a butt. Yeah yeah,
instead of instead of leaving one three minute episode, she
left a dozen or so ten second messages.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah. So, and then Steve enjoyed the Thanksgiving Memories episode.
So we appreciate you guys calling in all the time.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
Yeah, Gretchen did text in, and you can text in
questions or comments. She had mentioned how on the Peanuts
episode Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, where'd the twenty toasters come from?

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yeah, and that's not really our fault. That was on
the actual cartoon. Yeah, Gretchen takes things sometimes a little
too literally. So it was a cartoon in the seventies.
They borrowed him from neighbors.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
Come on, Gretchen, and she also and then the pretzel sticks, pretzels,
pretzel sticks.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yeah, I kinda. I kind of thought I had seen pretzels,
and then all of a sudden everything was pretzel sticks
and I and then I didn't. I kind of forgot
about it. So I guess I did and realized that
they showed both. But it's kind of interesting.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
It's one of those continuity things.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Ezachary, I guess I just read that there's a big
one in stranger Things that they messed up on and
I didn't read the article. I have to go back
and find it. We'll be talking more about Stranger Things
on Buzzhead Radio tonight, So head on overdea. Okay, we
got an email from Jeffrey. From Jeffrey in a while now,

(10:27):
he says, hello, Jeffrey. Here, the Christmas cards are on
their way. He says, I hope they get to you
a lot before Christmas. I hope you like them. I
send a recipe with this email for congjen k o
n i j n in t Zoer. That's the Christmas

(10:53):
dish in the zud Limberg region where I live. So
I did not I wouldn't have been able to have
a picture. So I'll have to like write that down
and let you guys see what that recipe is.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
So he's sending a recipe.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Well, he sent the recipe for that. What I just
read the Congeni into ZR. I'll tell you what the Yeah,
I'll have to find out and I didn't have time
to read it, so says maybe you can spread it around.
I'll spread it around, Jeffrey. We'll try to get it.
I'll try to get posted on the seventies buzz Facebook group,

(11:28):
and then what Christmas dishes were popular during the seventies
and your households. For our family, it was cream Peas
were always popular, and my great grandma and grandma used
to always make the fluff salad with the grapes and
the marshmallows and the pecans. Well, there's different versions. One

(11:50):
was called Watergate salad, and then there was one like
there was more pink and cranberry. So they had tons
of different names. I just call them all fluff fluff
salads because they all had tons of whipping cream and
cool whip, cool whip and marshmallows in them.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
So cool marshmallows and what was it fruit cocktail?

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Yeah, I mean there was most of them had pineapple,
yeah yeah, yeah, nuts, some I think pecans using pecan pieces.
Yeah yeah. So those were kind of popular dishes around here.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
Our cool thing was is, yeah that was Thanksgiving. Mom
always said, what what kind of pie do you want
for Thanksgiving? And I always got pecan pie.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah. See, we always in the seventies, we always repeated
what our Christmas dinner was a carbon copy of our
Thanksgiving dinner. Oh really, there was never a difference it
was always just the same turkey, mashed potatoes, same pies, desserts, rolls,
bowl of black olives, cream peas.

Speaker 4 (12:51):
There was green bean castle, No, we never had.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
We had cream peas and corn and mashed potatoes.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
Is that is green bean castle kind of new? Or
is that old?

Speaker 1 (13:00):
I think that might be newer. It might be newer,
but it's not as new as Brussels sprouts. Brussels sprouts
are like the newer, newer one. Yeah, but they put
all kinds of stuff on them, so it's not like
just the old boiled. I think they fry them and
have stuff on them that makes them like crispy. And

(13:21):
I don't know. I don't eat them. So I ate
him as a kid. That's one of those foods where
I ate as a kid, but I don't eat now.
And I don't know why I ate him as a kid.
I actually I haven't even tried them as an adult.
I don't even want to. I have no desire.

Speaker 4 (13:36):
Yeah, because you wouldn't need you mean you would eat
spinach even.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
Oh no, now I've tried spinach so good, Oh my gosh,
right out of can Yeah, let's see. And then the
gal from Zimbabwe email. She says, you because I had
done a post about our big Christmas tree here in Nina.
She said, you have a large Christmas tree. New Hampshire

(14:00):
has demented Santa, which I think she may have mentioned
this before, and she said, he is risen. I have
friends that live in Manchester, New Hampshire and seen plenty
of pictures of these things. So she posted a link
and I clicked on the link, and I mean, it
is a scary demented look at Santa and they were
like raising him out of his krate. I can't believe

(14:23):
a town would display that. It's creepy. I'll try to
post the link. I'll try to remember to post the link.
In the I remember looking at it different. It's definitely different.

Speaker 4 (14:35):
And then.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Travis the Taylor listens to us and he he contacts
us through my Instagram account and he's he's contacted us before,
but he said he's been watching a series called I'm
Dying up here and one one of the recent episodes

(14:58):
they were eating space food sticks, and he said he
immediately thought of me. So he messaged me and he said,
have you watched this? And I said, I've never even
heard of it. Well, I'm Dying up Here explores the
Los Angeles stand up scene circa nineteen seventy three, as
a group of young comedians attempt to become successful at
Goldie's Comedy Club and potentially gain a star making turn

(15:21):
on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show. So it's basically based in
nineteen seventy three, and I don't even know where you
watch it, so, but just look it up. It's called
I'm Dying up Here, So everybody give that a look.
And I'm going to try to look it up and
find the Space food Stick episode.

Speaker 4 (15:38):
I thought it was a something out of space.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
Oh. I had no clue what it was till I
looked at close.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
I'm Dying up here in space food sticks space thing?

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Yeah no, And I got curious and I kind of
went through his Instagram account. He doesn't have a whole
lot of posts on it, but one of his posts
that he was a master tailor at Levi's at one time.
Oh cool. Yeah, so we'll have to delve more into
Travis's background.

Speaker 4 (16:04):
I want to freak some cool old red label five
oh one. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
He had one pair that he had really customized on
his Instagram account. And then me and Kurt Treneri have
been going back and forth about stranger things and stuff
and seventy stuff on messaging, and he says, I was
going to ask you guys if you guys had radio
stations that played just Christmas music. And just while listening

(16:33):
to the twenty nineteen episode on Christmas Music, you mentioned
a station in Oklahoma City that does Yeah, he says,
we have one in Seattle that does the same thing.
Made me think about being a kid that So, remember
being a kid in the seventies, some radio stations would
play like one Christmas song an hour, and if you

(16:55):
missed it, you had to wait a couple hours for
it to come back. I wasn't like today where there
was twenty four hour Christmas music. And so he was
kind of bringing that up. How that was one of
those seventies things. He says, if you didn't have a tape, tape,
record record or CD back then, you didn't hear it
much on the radio, which is true. You just you

(17:15):
had to catch Christmas songs by chance. Yeah. No, So
which one is it? K K? I think KO? Well,
and now that you say yeah, isn't it the ENID
station that plays it. Well, there, it's one in Oklahoma
City Magic one O three or one O four.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
Okay, so it's the it's the ENID station that starts
playing it like even before Thanksgiving. I think, so, yeah, yeah,
it's totally that's all they play. Yeah, ninety five point seven,
I think something. Yeah, well, I just turned my serious
onto it. The cool thing about serious is there's like
old Christmas, and there's a New Christmas, and there's pop Christmas,

(17:52):
and it sounds like Kurt and I we both try
to find the old Christmas and listen to that.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
So that's what I listened to.

Speaker 4 (17:59):
I don't even want to listen to Christmas music yet.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
Oh really, dude, it's to me, it's not worth the
hassle if you don't squeeze in as much as you can.
So I've been listening. I bet I've been listening to
Christmas music for three weeks.

Speaker 4 (18:13):
No, I mean, so back to that. I'm dying up here.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
Uh huh.

Speaker 4 (18:17):
It was on in twenty seventeen, had two seasons, the
drama It's got that Andrew Santino guy. Oh, he's in
a bunch of TikTok and Facebook.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
Wow. So it was kind of does it say where
you might be able to see it at? It will
tell me that Hulu, Hulu. Okay, you guys, check it out.
Nineteen seventy three might be pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
Hulu, Fubou, Paramount Plus, Amazon, YouTube TV.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
It's everywhere. Okay, cool, I'm gonna check it out. I
want to find I wonder if they were actually eating
space food sticks or if they were just talking about
eating space food sticks. Take it out? Are we ready
to jump into this weird episode? It's so weird? Okay,
we need you guys one of two things. Either go

(19:09):
get a piece of paper and a pencil, or be
prepared to remember numbers in your head. You're gonna have
to keep track of a score in your head least
like it's tally marks. Basically, yeah, yeah, yeah, you get
one check. So basically, here's what we're gonna do. If

(19:29):
you were a true, true child of the seventies, you
should get as few points in this test as possible.
So you want as few points as possible. What you're
gonna do is you're gonna give yourself one point for
everything that we read that you did not do or
did not have in the seventies.

Speaker 4 (19:49):
Well, let me ask you this before we get too
far in this. Uh huh, why didn't you just do
it the other around? It's just one point for everything
you did.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Do because then that had been a lot of numbers. Yeah,
so this way we hopefully everybody's like around five or something. Okay,
So the thing is, and don't cheat. I mean, there's
no shame. Just keep true score and we'll shame you

(20:18):
at the end, but not at the beginning. So what
we're gonna do is we're going to go through ninety
things and we'll try to get through them pretty quick.
In the seventies, if you either did them or you
had them, it's just zero. You don't even have to
keep track. But when we say something that you did
not do or you did not have, then remember one

(20:41):
and then just add up all your ones tally mark
or tally mark. Yeah, you can do like one, two, three,
four slash. There you go. Yeah, And then we're going
to get to the end and we're gonna have ten
bonus things that really had to do more with us
in ENID and not very many of you people out there.
Those are going to be bonus points and we'll tell
you how that were at the end. So we are

(21:02):
just so this is kind of like a really cool
specific list of things we did or had in the seventies.

Speaker 4 (21:10):
And we probably ought to add a lot of these
or all of these or us related me and you related.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
Yeah, but I didn't put anything on the top ninety.
I tried to keep everything gender unspecific, so there you know.
I didn't say something like own a gi Joe, I
said had a Gijo or a Barbie. So I didn't
leave anybody out. And I this the first ninety I

(21:38):
tried to make pretty generic. So almost everybody has a
chance of getting zero. Now the last ten. Nobody's going
to get the last ten. I mean there's just no way,
not even me, but they're bonus so and not even
me because you threw one in there that nobody but
maybe one other person might have done. Really, which one

(21:58):
is the four works? Oh?

Speaker 4 (22:01):
Really? Yeah, you didn't do that.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
No where would I've got extra forks from? Okay, let's
let's see. Yeah, yeah, what are they talking about?

Speaker 4 (22:12):
You'd old forks on your dinner plate.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
There we go. Okay, so let's so remember if you
did not do it or you did not have it,
you get a check.

Speaker 4 (22:21):
So have you already done your score.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
Well, I know I've got on the first ninety, I'm
at I'm pretty sure i'm at zero because I did
the list, and anything that I would have had to
put a check for I put in the bottom ten. Okay,
So I'm as we go through, I'll just I'll try
to see if there is one. But I think I've

(22:44):
got a zero on the whole ninety. Okay, but we'll see,
I'll I haven't looked at it in a day or two.
So okay. Number one, did you skip class in school
in the seventies any any grade? Yep? I did too.
So what'd you do? What I do? Yeah? Well, I

(23:05):
mean we had we had Bible class out in that
building across the street from the high school. And when
we'd have a substitute, I can't remember who, maybe Steve
or somebody, we'd climb out the window and leave almost
any class, any class that I was in in high
school that I had Steve Voss in my class, if
we had a substitute, we would literally just leave. But

(23:29):
sometimes we would leave class and go sit in somebody
else's class if they had a substitute, and we would
just sit there for a while and then get up
and leave because we weren't in the other class. So yeah,
we we would cause having so.

Speaker 4 (23:45):
Yes, of course, yeah, yeah, I skipped And that's a
whole nother story. Okay, cool, So I bet everybody's at
zero right now.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
Hopefully there's probably a few people that never skip class.

Speaker 4 (23:58):
There'll be a few Dela, but she never skipped class.
She had a perfect attendance all through Grady.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
Yeah, so you would give yourself a one if you
never skipped class or a check. Yeah, okay, tally number two.
Did you ever go to a rock concert? Absolutely? Now,
and this is gonna some of this will be like
how old you were in the seventies. Some people that

(24:25):
were older in the seventies, you're not going to get
zero on everything. Some of you people that were younger
in the seventies. Todd and I were, I mean we
were like basically eight to eighteen in the seventies.

Speaker 4 (24:39):
So you know, yeah seven days yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
Yeah. So anyway, so we kind of were like right
there all over. So did you ever type on a typewriter?

Speaker 4 (24:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (24:51):
Sure did? Now? Did you ever have typing class in
high school? Now?

Speaker 4 (24:54):
I just played around on one.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
See, I didn't either my mom was a My mom
was like a like a fast professional type. I drink.
So she had a typewriter at home and I'd plunk
on it. Yeah. Even when I learned a computer, I
still don't know how to type. Yeah, I I one
finger it. Yeah, I peck it. But I'm pretty I'm
so good that I don't even have to look at
the keyboard. Really, I can one peck it without looking

(25:17):
at the letters. Oh wow. Yeah, so anyway, cool, Okay,
go ahead, what what next? One drank alcohol? Did anybody
drink alcohol in the seventies? Yeah? Yeah, late, it was
late seventies for me, but yeah, it was in the seventies.

Speaker 4 (25:34):
We Yeah, we snuck into Nancy Hawthorne's dad her garage.
He had a garage refrigerator. Oh yeah, and it was
Oh I can't, why can't I've talked about this before.
We snuck out a can of Yeah, I remember you.
And there was like four or.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
Five of us. And what grade was that? It was
early seventies, I mean it was guys were young. Yeah,
I mean we were in grade school. Yeah. So yeah,
I don't I never nuh. I think my parents probably
tried to get me to you know, just sip a
beer as a kid, but I never like drank drank

(26:17):
until until later the late seventies. So uh, now I
don't I don't think you've done this one. Have you
ever streaked outside? Oh gosh, I don't so. Us five
that lived on West Broadway, there was one night when

(26:38):
we all got in the bushes at Brendan's house and
and the dare was you had to streak out of
the bushes across Broadway and back, and I streaked.

Speaker 4 (26:50):
I don't think I have out there, So I were
on getting itally at number five.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
Mm, that's all right, Yeah, there's a bonus questions. Okay,
So so when we get to the bonus questions, if
you've done one of the bonus questions, you get to
erase one of your points, which you'll get to. So
number six, did you ever smoke a cigarette? Yeah? So
I'm that way like you were with a beer. We

(27:20):
somehow we got somebody, probably my mom's cigarette. When I
was like in fourth or fifth grade, We went out
to the alley and smoked a cigarette in the alley.
Me kent coming.

Speaker 4 (27:29):
Mark swears up and down he was there. I don't
remember him being there, but his but kent come and
sister Nita caught us. We were we were on the
other side of Abanatus's house because there used to be
a tri we had trails back there. Uh huh, yeah, nothing.
I didn't get in trouble.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
She just popped up. I don't know she was spying
on us. She's like, I'm telling I'm.

Speaker 4 (27:51):
And dad and we were like, oh my god.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
I think Connie was in the alley with me. So
there was no way I was getting in trouble because
I think she smoked the part of the cigarette too,
so and.

Speaker 4 (28:01):
There were plenty of cigarettes around to be stealing.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
I mean, oh yeah, well there was vending machines. You
could you literally could go get on your own at
a vending machine. So if you did not smoke a cigarette,
then you have to check give yourself a check. Number seven,
did you drink beer that came out of a keg? Basically?

(28:25):
Did you go to a keg party in the seventies?
And of course, of course we did. We lived in
the seventies, of course we did. Did you ever do
Number eight snuck someone in a drive in the trunk? Yeah, yeah,
we did, usually Steve Voss's car. He had like a
well he had the Skylark, but I think he had

(28:47):
he had something something big Chevy too before that, and
I think we would get in the trunk of his car.

Speaker 4 (28:52):
To Scylark was a cool car.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
Yeah, it was a good car. Anyway, there's a four door, right,
Did I had to upgrade? Did you ever stay awake
all night at least once? So basically when you had
to sleep over or yeah? I mean I did that
several times, and I always regretted it, like by noon

(29:14):
the next day because then you were like you were
like flat out laying there and you couldn't move and
you were sleep and then your stomach was yeah, was
never good to stay up on it. And the thing
if you're if you didn't grow up in the seventies,
we didn't have TV all night long, So by midnight
pretty much or one o'clock or two o'clock, all the

(29:36):
channels went off the air, and so you had to
find things to do all night long to stay awake.

Speaker 4 (29:40):
Unless you were watching the Jerry Lewis telethon. Well there
was that one, yeah, and that's when I did it. Oh,
really stayed up eating Count chocolate all night.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
There you go. I asked. Mama said, Mom, can I
stay up all night eat count chocolate? She's like whatever, Yeah,
we would just have I remember Steve Ross, not Steve Ross,
Steve Rop had a like a birthday party sleepover when
we were like in the fourth grade or something, and
I think we all stayed up all night long just
to say we did. Did you ever make a fort

(30:13):
in a tree? And it didn't have to be like
a house with wood, It could just be a plank
or something. Surely every kid, Yeah, made a fort in
a tree in the seventies if you didn't check it.

Speaker 4 (30:28):
Yeah, we had the woods across the street.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
Oh yeah, Yeah. We always found a tree somewhere, and
it wasn't always on somebody's property that we knew. Sometimes
we just climbed the.

Speaker 4 (30:38):
Tree, jumped off a roof. I remember jumping off off
my house right now, off my porch.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
I remember jumping off Randy Nightingale's garage roof, and I'm like,
I could have broken my ankles. I don't know why
we were jumping off roofs. How the hell did we
do that? I guess our bones were rubbery. Can you
imagine doing that to day? No, not even close. Yeah,
I mean like literally garage roof we were jumping. I
was like, yeah, so did you ever jump off a roof? Yeah? Uh?

(31:08):
And we didn't call it this, but did you ever
ding dong ditch somebody's house, which is which is basically
running up and ringing the doorbell and then running off?

Speaker 4 (31:17):
What do we call it?

Speaker 1 (31:18):
I can't say it. It's uh political, politically incorrect. It
was knocking.

Speaker 4 (31:24):
Yeah yeah, yeah, so uh yeah, okay.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
Yeah, we used to do that like all the time.
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 4 (31:33):
Uh threw a water balloon at car Oh yeah, of
course we did.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
We all know that. Yeah, pretty easy. Did you ever
dance with someone of the opposite sex?

Speaker 4 (31:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (31:43):
So basically did you ever go to dance? Sure we did.
Did you ever kiss somebody? Number fifteen? Do you ever
kiss somebody of the opposite sex? Yeah? Did? And of
course yeah at church camp quite a bit.

Speaker 4 (31:58):
Uh yeah yeah there over there.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
I don't go there.

Speaker 4 (32:04):
It was kind of fun anyway. I wore a pair
of bell bottoms. Of course, everybody should have been wearing
bell bottom.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
If you didn't wear a pair of bell bottoms in
the seventies, shame on you. Did you own an a
track player? Oh yeah, Now again, that could be there
could be a kid that's a little younger than us
that started out with cassettes and missed the eight tracks.
So if you did not own an a track player,
you got to give yourself a check. Tally tally or one.

(32:34):
Did you ever dance to disco? I'm gonna have to see.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
Now, I didn't make it dance at a disco? I
just said, did you dance to disco? So basically, I
don't know if Barrett you'd consider some Barry Manilow songs did,
but Beg's was disco. I mean, so if you dance
to any of that, you know, then you pretty much
danced to disco. I'm going to see this one. You

(33:01):
had to have done drink from a garden hose? That's
why we're still alive. Number nineteen. Did you ever drink
from a garden hose? And it never was anybody's garden hose?
You knew it was usually just walking down the street, Yeah,
just a house between houses and you'd just grab the
garden hose. Yeah. Yeah. Did you ever skinny dip?

Speaker 4 (33:27):
Man?

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Now, the only reason we skinny dipped was because we
pull hopped and I didn't have that on here, but
we would go puol hopping, and then sometimes when you
were pull hopping, you'd get even sillier and you'd skinny
dip real quick.

Speaker 4 (33:41):
I think it would have been the late seventies, but yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
And mine would was way late seventy It had to
be seventy nine. Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna own that one. Yeah, okay,
did you number twenty one? Did you ever own a

Yeah, and we got we actually, I think our class
was the first class to have a flimsy light yearbook
at Waller and we signed those. Remember the yellow one
with all the black and white pictures. Yes, it wasn't
very thick, it was just real thin. And I tried
to find it. It's around here somewhere, but yeah, so
we signed those too. Remember that, did you ever own

black light posters. My favorite was that haunted treehouse thingy

Speaker 1 (35:11):
Yeah, yeah, black lights were cool. Black lights. Did you
ever have a celebrity poster on your wall? Basically I
was going to say a pin up, but for the girls,

parents wouldn't let you drink it. Maybe you but even
if you tasted it, that counts. Now, you may have

Yeah, So, like if you went to camp, or you
went somewhere and they wanted to make sure you got
there all right, you would make a click call to
your parent and as soon as they the operator would
say there's a click call from Bob, and they'd say, no,
I don't know a Bob and you'd scream I'm here
and never did that. You never did that? Oh wow,

(51:20):
I never did. Yeah, we used to do it. I
don't remember why we were not with my mom, but yeah,
we used to do it all the time.

Speaker 4 (51:26):
Actually laughed a Saturday Night Live.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
So basically, did you watch Saturday at Live in the seventies,
because that's when it was.

Speaker 4 (51:33):
Fun, That's when it was good. Lunch from a metal lunchbox.

Speaker 1 (51:36):
Yeah, I've got five of them right here in my
or six. I think I got six.

Speaker 4 (51:41):
Maybe I had my snoopy lunch box, I had.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
My I can't remember now, but uh, did you ever
get up early on Saturday just to watch cartoons?

Speaker 4 (51:49):
Couldn't wait to get up on Saturday?

Speaker 1 (51:51):
I mean in that way cereal, the one one of
the two mornings we could sleep late, and we chose
not to just so we could get up early and
watch cartoons. No crazy. Did you ever pop popcorn on
a stove? My mom did all the time. We did
with the little Jiffy remember the Jiffy swirl up?

Speaker 4 (52:09):
Played pong on atari? Yeah, of course that was fascinating. Yeah,
it was freaked me out. I'm actually controlling what's on
the TV.

Speaker 1 (52:16):
Yeah, and it was so mundane, but it was so cool. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (52:20):
Yeah, had we had we only known?

Speaker 1 (52:23):
I know. Did you ever have to wait on somebody
to use the phone? Oh? God, yes, Wou'd you hurry him?

Speaker 4 (52:28):
Go off the phone?

Speaker 1 (52:29):
Sindy? Isn't that crazy? Think about that? That's just crazy.
Marsha never was on the phone moment. Cindy was all
the time talking to Lori or or or what's his
face acond Johnny Johnny, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (52:44):
Uh, spent hours at the vinyl working store, Jacks Jacks.

Speaker 1 (52:49):
We'd spend a lot of time in Jack's. Yeah, looking
at cassettes and vinyl records. Uh. Did you ever turn
your TV dial by hand? So basically if you wanted
to watch something else, you had to get off your butt,
walk up to the TV and turn the channel. And
there was only thirteen Well, there wasn't even at one
point there was only four.

Speaker 4 (53:10):
Oh yeah, it's all we got.

Speaker 1 (53:11):
Yeah, you go four, four or five and nine, and
then it'd be an fights and fights and fights, and
then you get to thirteen bbs. Yeah yeah, uh and okay,
so that was number eighty nine. Here's number ninety I
misspelled that. Did you ever eat cereal out of a
plastic margarine bowl or any it didn't have to be cereal?
Do you ever eat anything out of a margarine? So

(53:33):
there's your ninety. So everybody kind of add up, how
many points?

Speaker 4 (53:39):
Now you zero?

Speaker 1 (53:40):
Not? Now? Yeah? I don't think there was anything.

Speaker 4 (53:44):
Okay, Okay, Now we're going onto the bonus round.

Speaker 1 (53:48):
So basically, let's say you've got two points or three points.
We're at fifty two minutes, so we're cruising along. So
let's say you got three three ticks that's what I yeah,
three ticks. Okay, So now we're going to go ten
bonus things, and if you get any of these, you
get to erase one of those three. Let's say you

(54:10):
have three, because these are really things that we just
we did, so we know a lot of people did
not do all these, so so you'll get to erase
if you have some. So go ahead, excuse me. Oh
I did, I knew I did. I thought I'd done
that one twice? What's that? Uh? Oh number ninety? No,
this one's different. Oh we talked actually talk to a DJ? Yeah, okay, man,

(54:31):
look at you. Yeah, talk to a DJ on a
local radio show. Yes, I did Yep, we did so.

Speaker 4 (54:38):
Did you he called me slow as molasses?

Speaker 1 (54:40):
Yes, he did so. Did you ever call into a
low and it could have been in a different city,
but local radio show and actually talked to the DJ
on air? Yes, number ninety two. Did you ever crawl
through the drainage tunnels under your town? Yes, we did that.
Gretchen even did that a little bit, but not in
the seventies.

Speaker 4 (55:02):
Ordered albums from Columbia House.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
What heckened? I had an account with Columbia House and
I got my I think it was eleven free records
for a penny. It was crazy. Yeah. Did you ever
and then we did this at your house? Did you
ever shoot Roman candles at your friends? Only at Todd's house?
Was I allowed to do that?

Speaker 4 (55:21):
Really?

Speaker 1 (55:23):
I don't even think we bought I don't think I
even had Roman candles except at your house. Oh really? Yeah?
Oh my mom wasn't into buying fireworks.

Speaker 4 (55:31):
Oh that's sad.

Speaker 1 (55:32):
Yeah, Well, we always went like in the seventies, it
seems like we always went to the base. The base
always had a big Fourth of July party. Yeah, did
you have a CBE radio and your own handle?

Speaker 4 (55:47):
We had the Monty Carlo actually had a Sebee radio
in it. I tried to remember my handle. I can't
remember what it was, but yeah I did.

Speaker 1 (55:54):
Now see I did not have a Sebe ratio. So
but again these are bonus. So did you ever build
a haunted cardboard maze? I doubt very many people did that?

Speaker 4 (56:03):
Yeah, made an eight millimeter movie?

Speaker 1 (56:08):
Only you know, pretty much only people that had parents
that had eight milimeter cameras probably did that. Yeah, my uncle,
so we my mom had one, So Stateton and I
made a few. Bruce Bradley's parents had one, so he
filmed that one. And then Brendan actually owned his own.
I think Brendan might even upgrade it to a super eight.
And so Brendan used to film as well. So yeah,

(56:32):
and here's Todd's Did you ever extend the forks on
your bike? Yeah? Who didn't do that? Yeah? None of
us other kids, only Todd. Did you ever play trampoline
dodgeball in the seventies? Not that many kids had trampoline,
so that one pretty probably not a lot of people.

(56:52):
And then the very last one, did you ever eat
a And it doesn't have to be McDonald's, but anybody's hamburger?
In one bite? Did you ever stuff an entire hamburger
into your mouth and chew it up in one byte?
The one byte burger? We called it one byte burgers,
And back then, I bet they cost I think there
are twenty five cents.

Speaker 4 (57:11):
Yeah, yeah, we just tried to we'd do would we'd
shove the whole time?

Speaker 1 (57:15):
Oh yeah, we could get the whole thing in our mouth. Okay,
So basically add up or subtract all of your points.
If you got If you've ended up with zero to five,
you are an elite seventies kid. If you've got six
through ten, you are a true seventies kid. And if

(57:36):
you have eleven or above, you are questionable. Buddy, you
may not have been a seventies kid. You may have
been sixties or eighties, but you probably weren't a seventies kid.
So there you go, and I know there's probably everybody,
and go ahead and send them to us if there's
something that we left off the first ninety that you think,

(57:58):
and I know there's tons. I'd love to come out
with like a list of five hundred and just put
it out on the internet to have it permanently out there.
You know, these are what I like is the ones
that a kid from today would look at it and
be like, have you seen the tiktoks? Where the parents
ask their kids like ten questions and say, oh, let

(58:22):
me know if you like, do you know what a
rolodex is? And the kid will be like, I have
no clue, or they'll put a rotary phone out in
front of him say what's tell them how to use it? Yeah,
So so that's kind of what I like, the ones
where a kid from today would have no clue what
you're talking about. And now some of these you know,
of course they know. But I think the fun ones

(58:43):
are the ones where kids are like, you know, putting
the license plate down on the back of a car
to put gas in. They just don't have those anymore.

Speaker 4 (58:50):
So shall we play Kritchen's message?

Speaker 1 (58:54):
Oh? Yeah, play it now? We haven't she just we
don't know what it is? Episode in a Nutshell? Hey, Tod,
can all listeners hear the theme to KRP? You bet
they can, Curtis, how about that clip of leod Nessman
from the show hang On? Did you the corn? Here?

(59:21):
We go?

Speaker 4 (59:22):
No?

Speaker 1 (59:23):
Hang on? What the heck it?

Speaker 3 (59:27):
Oh my?

Speaker 1 (59:29):
It must have gone anyway? Your raider raider. It must
have got worse. Yeah, I think it did. It must
have because when we were when we tested it, it
sounded like I was in the room, like on the
other side of the room, but you could hear everything
I was saying when we tested it. Something must have

(59:49):
got jiggled even worse when we started recording. So anyway,
we we apologize for the sound on last weeks, we
won't do that anymore. We will We will record here
until we figure it out. Yes, And basically what we're
going to do is move all of Todd's equipment to
his new computer and re wire, plug everything in, and

(01:00:11):
if it doesn't work, we're going to shoot the whole
thing start over. Okay, you got oh, you know what
I forgot to do at the beginning. Let's hit us
up at five eight oho five for one three eighth five.
If you want to add something to that list, I
am going to post that list at Curtis Tucker dot
com on my blog so it'll be out there and
you can have your friends take the little test. Uh,

(01:00:32):
And let's just go ahead and keep adding to it.
So send me your things from the seventies if I
think they're too specific. I'm going to put them in
the bonus area. But if they're if I think like
a big majority of people would fall into the category,
I'll just Adam and heck, you know, maybe we will
get up to like five hundred or something. I'll just
keep adding them to the list. But you can email

(01:00:54):
buzz at buzzheadmedia dot com and uh, don't forget to
follow us over to Buzzhead Radio to night and we're
gonna get out of here.
