Hello and welcome to episode one hundred and eighty of
Throwback Music Video Review podcast, and tonight we will be
reviewing Hello. Hello is a nineteen eighty four song by
Lionel Ritchie and was the third single from his second
solo album, Can't Slow Down.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
No saying no, you can't slow that, he can't learn it,
I just can't. Can't too many good songs.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yeah, this is his peak powers right. The song reach
number one on the Billboard Pop R and B and
Adult Contemporary charts. The music video was directed by Bob
Giraldi and currently has ninety nine million views on YouTube. So, guys,
what is your history with Hello?

Speaker 4 (01:12):
I don't really have a lot of history except for
I know the song very well. It's a very popular song. Yeah,
I was a huge fan of the song. It's a
ballad that I don't know. Somehow it got to me,
you know, it's a probably because it's it's very clear
the way he sings it, with the lyrics.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
But I had no idea with the music video. I
had no clue. I'll show it to us.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
You haven't seen most of you have no idea.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
I never had the need to, you know, because the
song satisfied me. Now, well, I'm good with that. But
another layer has been peeled when all showed us the
video for this.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
But yeah, just a huge song.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
I mean it's still kind of like big I still
hear on the radio till today.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
You know, it's always off, it's up.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
And plays a classic coast absolutely even like ninety four
point seven when they do like those throwback once but
that's pretty much it.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
And then most recently, of.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
Course, we did the the Greatest Night of Pop right
and my Lionel Richie had a huge part in that,
so you know, I got to know him a little
bit more his personality, so that was really cool.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
How about you guys know the same.

Speaker 5 (02:09):
I've never seen this. I'm more of an all night
long kind of guy. Yeah, yeah, ceiling.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
This video wasn't in any of the MTV awards, Like,
it wasn't nominated for any but All Night Long was yeah,
All Night Long was his the main one. And then
Dancing on the Ceiling of course, which is a classic
video where he's dancing on.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
The with a bunch of partners. He's partying it up. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:36):
So no, this one, I've never seen the video. I
told was telling al before this that it like it's
the A twenty four of horror movie videos. Yeah, but
we'll talk about that. But it was shocking what I
did to it. But I mean it's a good video.
It looks it looks beautiful.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
It's clean. Huh's very clean, very nicely directed.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
It's for me. It's like Lyla Richie's catalog was just
somehow embedded in my brain since I was like a baby.
One of my earlier memories with music was like I
was probably like three or four years old, and I
was just lying in bed and we had a neighbor
who would play the radio kind of loud, you know,
and I would like, you would play like Commodorees, like easy,
you know, or three times so three times elated and

(03:15):
still still is like I love that song still. Yeah.
So then it's like his voice I was always a
constant presence in the background music of my life.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
I guess it is very distinct. Huh right.

Speaker 5 (03:27):
This album is also Stuck on You.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Yeah, it's like his country ballad almost Yeah, yeah, exactly.
I always thought that Lady song was him, but it's
actually Kenny Rogers, but he wrote it for Kenny Rodgers.
He sings it like how Lion Richie would sing it, too, right.
And then endless Love. That's something. Just do it with
Diana Ross so touching, right, that's that was a karaoke favorite, too,

(03:53):
Endless Love. We're going to do it with someone.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Right, relationship right quite there yet? And you sing that
together Moon.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
And then in his first solo album before that Can't
Slow Down, it was truly.

Speaker 5 (04:05):
No, truly.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Oh that's another one.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, that's another song of his. Yeah, I wish I
was drinking truly uh mall liquors right now for this podcast.
But and then yeah, then Hello, and of course All
Night Long and all that was huge in nineteeny four.
That was like him and Michael Jackson somewhat peaking at
the same time.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Yeah, And I saw this music video back then. I
remember him teaching in class, but I didn't remember really
much of the story or the punchline didn't he didn't register. Really,
it was just like, oh, that's cool. He's singing. He
likes this blind girl. That's what I got out of it.
What else did he have after that? Oh? Yeah, dancing
with the ceiling. Oh and he did the say You
Say Me?

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Right, that's another one, Say You Say.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Me from the White Knights h Bershakov and Gregory Hines soundtrack.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
So the dance thriller movie.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah, yeah, good Times Green movie.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
That's a good movie.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah, Sorich. He seems like a really chill guy, really cool.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
You know, it's like a party guy, right, party guy there,
kind of getting everything going.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Dancing the ceiling all night long.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
But he knew what he's versatile.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
He does the ballads really well, he does the party
songs really well.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
You know, he can do it all.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah, he's an excellent songwriter.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
Right.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
So he's always been relevant, you know.

Speaker 5 (05:16):
And then he did American Idol.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Right, he's still doing American Idol.

Speaker 5 (05:19):
His daughter had a reality show that I think he
would show up every once in a while on Simple Life. Yeah, yeah, no, no,
I think she had her own after too. Oh there
was a Simple Life. I didn't think she had hers,
and then he had a reality show.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
He's like I remember watching on YouTube where he went
back to Alabama to check his ancestry where he came from.
So that was like a weird real reality show. He
came all the way from Alley because he lives here,
you know, right here in my neighbors down street, and yeah,
like when he drives, he just cancelo it down anyway. Yeah,
like he went he went back check out, check back

(05:52):
on his roots, and he found out that his one
of his great great great granddads from his mother's side
was a slave owner.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Oh really yeah, oh White.

Speaker 5 (06:01):
I mean when you go when they do the Roots
or whatever that that TV show is, you know, there's
it always goes back to the right, right dude. For
when he did American Idol seven million bucks this season, Damn.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
I'll never be poor.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
But you know, he's actually a great candidate for that
kind of position because he's a great songwriter, right, I mean,
he's hits after hits after hits. He's been in the
industry for such a long time, and he has that
personality and I think he has a good mix of
like being honest but at the same time, like really
professional tell you isn't.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
He doesn't.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
He won't mess around. He's like he'll be straightforward. I mean,
he's actually perfect for that role.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
This music game a lot of experience in, you know,
being a teachers, and.

Speaker 5 (06:43):
He did like research where he actually went in and
became a teacher.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
He got.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Method acting, that's.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
Right, immersed himself.

Speaker 4 (06:51):
You know what's interesting this song is supposedly like it
comes from him wanting growing up.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
With a lot of beautiful women around around.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
You always read that part yep. And it's a way
for him to kind of or at least.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Help him break the ice with them.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
Yeah, kind of. And I kind of wanted to talk
to you about that, right, like you're growing up.

Speaker 4 (07:08):
That's we had this very ego centric kind of like
youthful mind of I can talk to anybody, or in
my mind like if I talk to them, they're probably
gonna look you know what I mean, Like I'm bold enough,
even though it never happens, like I never get to
do it. It's just in my mind playing it right.
Doesn't not always happen. You see somebody like at the
grocery store or somebody's walking you like you look at

(07:28):
each other and eyes I think it's on, but never
pans out, never pans out.

you cry. I'm guessing the people who want to cry.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
It's this you're up in the bed. It's about to

Speaker 3 (24:10):
Then that's great.

Speaker 5 (24:13):
Yeah, and you haven't hit the cry number after that.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
Again.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
That nice digs there, nice stuff.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
All right, We'll be right back to talk about the
music video after these messages. Okay, let's talk about the
music video for Lionel Richie's.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
Hello stocks Reynolds Down.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
He's a professor in this video, right right, an acting professor, right,
acting theater.

Speaker 5 (24:39):
Yeah, teacher, Okay, so he's doing he's an acting teacher.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
He has a piano in class and class also he's
doing the tar thing.

Speaker 5 (24:46):
You know, he is doing the tar thing, very tar.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
It's very much like tar.

Speaker 4 (24:51):
He introduces a scenario right where an actor and an
actress can kind of right in the middle of it.

Speaker 5 (24:59):
It's about a a man who is in prison for
twenty five years give the race or anything like that,
but he's wrongly accused, right, and then he has this
one young student.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
It looks like it looks like a hipster like that
could just blend right now.

Speaker 5 (25:13):
Yeah, I mean, I mean he's obviously an acting student
because he has a scarf on.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
Yeah, it's a scarf, man, it's that scar scarf.

Speaker 5 (25:21):
Scarf is on. And then he is working with a
woman who's in the class that Richie keeps staring and
keeps getting caught during God but luckily for him, you're
not getting caught because she's blind, he's black. She's a
woman who is visually implarred.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
But yeah, so yeah, he pieces a scenario first, like
it's an improv class, right, so you know, here we go.
It was you're you're a is it a got out
of jail for twenty five years and you're meeting a
girl for a date. So you know, he's right, like, yeah,
so now she she would improv like a certain scenario
and he'll of course feed off that and they build
upon it. And then as they're acting with each other,

(25:58):
the song fades in and he begins to sing in
his ballad, singing to her, singing to her.

Speaker 4 (26:06):
On her.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (26:06):
Well he's watching them like an acting coach where he's
he's engrossed. Yeah, but he's engrossed in her, engrossed in her.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
He's like, the guy doesn't matter.

Speaker 5 (26:13):
The guy got an f but he.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
Had to drop on the class, right.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
He find himself as the soundtrack guy is he's mixing
his audio in the in the scene the.

Speaker 5 (26:23):
Guy writing a letter to the dean asking if you
get to get the past fail great, Yeah, so it
doesn't go against his his transcripts.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
I think this was a community college, like it seemed
like because of those lockers, the many hallways in the lockers.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
So okay, So the class.

Speaker 4 (26:41):
Ends, right, and doesn't he go into his piano and
kind of just starts working on it a little bit
and singing.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
Well, there's just moments him he's just following the girl around,
you know, she walks out with her.

Speaker 5 (26:51):
Yeah, that's when you notice that she that she's that's
where we revealed to.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
Us classic fold away. Yeah, I mean that's where that's
what everybody goes, right, Yeah, so much beautiful.

Speaker 5 (27:02):
It's also visually impaired, Oh my goodness, gracious. And she's in.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
Regular classes with packing up a storm.

Speaker 6 (27:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (27:10):
In the eighties that that's is taboo. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
So this girl is like she goes to like pottery
glass or ceramics maybe or sculpture class.

Speaker 5 (27:18):
Yeah, she's in the arts.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
She's in the arts. Yeah, she's there's definitely an art school,
right major she does ballet as well.

Speaker 5 (27:27):
MFA. Maybe you know she's in a master's course and
it looks like a master's professor, and you.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
Know, shows she has a lot of dexterity for someone
who's visually impaired, and she can definitely do the routines
the other ballerinas were.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
Let me ask you this, in the scenes where Lyon
and Richie is kind of following her around around really
like if that was a real thing, he wasn't really there, right,
It's like, you know what I'm saying, because.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
He's there in his mind the narrating spirit.

Speaker 4 (27:53):
Correct the way he's thinking about it. He's just kind
of floating around her.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
I think he's there because he is physically interacting with
the other people.

Speaker 3 (27:59):
And he does get scared.

Speaker 5 (28:01):
Right.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
That scene is so funny because it to me is
like when I was watching it, because he was about
to kind of approach her. She's sitting down in the cafeteria, right,
and and he's kind of come from behind her and say,
I don't know hello, right, and then you know, her
friends call her and then he just like jerks back.

Speaker 5 (28:21):
When I'm watching this video, like I'm putting myself when
I was in college and if I was in that
hallway and I was usually sitting down charging my computer,
working on something, getting ready for the next class, and
I would have saw that and I'm like, is that
professor stocking? What is he doing?

Speaker 3 (28:37):
You never really see your professors out. Yeah, it's so straight.

Speaker 5 (28:40):
They walk straight with their cars straight to their classes,
you know, and that's it as fast as they possibly
can because they usually have to get to another job,
pick up their kids, or you know, go to the
bar and meet some other people.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Are yah, you know, you can't argue it endless love.

Speaker 5 (28:54):
Man, there's got to be some other students they're like, man,
this guy is like solely stalking.

Speaker 6 (28:59):
It is.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
It is uncomfortable how he's reading, the way he's like
staring at her, like getting close to her, or he's
just kind of like orbiting around her where she's at,
or singing a.

Speaker 5 (29:08):
Song while he's walking down.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
And then he has her phone number two by the way.
You know, she's reading Braille furiously. She's like one of
her romance braills, I think, right, because she was reading
reading the hell out of that thing, right, and it's
like her hands was like three Johnny five more input.

Speaker 5 (29:25):
You know, it's eighty three. She might be like reading
some kind of Stephen King novel or something.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
Kujo shining for sure. Yeah, and it's getting really good
from when Richie calls her the courage, right, he probably
picks it up. Hello, it is the course of the song,
and he sang it beautifully. Of course he's really into it.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
Do you think that's really happening?

Speaker 4 (29:50):
Then?

Speaker 2 (29:51):
I don't know, because what's funny about it was that
when he's singing, can you see it? And you want?
He hangs up his phone and she's still listening, and
I thought, what I haven't feeling?

Speaker 5 (29:59):
He just called and then hung up. Yeah, one of
those you know, I mean, we're this maybe is imagining
we're three mail we went we all went to college,
all college graduates, so we don't have the same experiences
as women do. I appreciate it's a lot different, But
I've never gotten a call from any of my college professors.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
No, not, I hope not.

Speaker 5 (30:16):
Yeah, but I'm sure if I go ask my wife,
she's like, oh, yeah, I had a callege. Cause I
mention that might be kind of a normal thing because
especially now.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
Getting a text, right, Yeah, I take that back. I
did get.

Speaker 4 (30:29):
Yeah when I was getting my postgraduate, not my master's
in fine arts or anything. But you know, like you
have a liaison, like you need to contact.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
How you're doing.

Speaker 5 (30:39):
But anyway, not that that kind what song did he sing?

Speaker 2 (30:44):
You? You?

Speaker 3 (30:53):
You guys, I'm sure have tried to talk to many classmates,
right of course. Yeah, but like you said, never I've
never see professors and not once. I haven't had a
lot of young professors, but never really like I've never
seen them. You know, they're very professional, you know what
I'm saying. So but me, I was trying.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
I mean, maybe it was happening, but I was oblivious
to oral care. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (31:12):
Even like my youngest professor, who is like female, she
was like in and out, like she was out of there,
like she had to go to the gym or so,
like gym closed to the class. So to be a
professor in college, like especially like the colleges that I
want to you probably only needed a master's. You would
need a doctorate to be like, uh kind of a
department or something like that. Right, there are some, but

(31:34):
a lot of them were like the heads of departments.
So a lot of them are doing their doctorate at
the time while they're doing their masters, so maybe a
lot of them were kind of running out to go
do that kind of stuff. But yeah, I did never
really talk to a professor outside.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
Of the well.

Speaker 5 (31:46):
When I get out of that door, it's like, yeah,
I don't really talk to you because you're one hundred
miles an hour to wherever you got to go. Yeah, okay.
So this whole time, she's working on a project in
her right, ceramics class, yes, rights culture class. Yeah, I'm like,
she's in there making a fucking hot she's making a
sculpture mm hm. And you could kind of tell what

(32:07):
it is because you see the hair, right, the hair
looks familiar. She might be doing herself because he that
she does have the same haircut as Lionel.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
Riches, right, But you know that's someone who's just not
really paying attention and you can just gloss over whatever
she's making. But you know, the color of the clay though,
does is a big contrast on the white background and
all that. It really stands out. But you know, someone
who's just not really paying attention, the gloss over that,
and then it kind.

Speaker 5 (32:31):
Of shows by the story that they're they're getting ready
for uh maybe an art an exhibit or art show
right for the college. You know, they're always happening, you know.

Speaker 3 (32:39):
And the semester, yeah's confidential kind of.

Speaker 5 (32:46):
Getting ready. And then that's where it's the hereditary moment
when the body flight is so scared, where you know,
Lionelergie goes there and you turn around and you see
this bust of a month's.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
But I think she was playing his piano, and then
exactly that a student summons him.

Speaker 3 (33:12):
Right, what's the point of why did they need to
summon him.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
To unless she summoned him that she told the guy Yeah, yeah,
doctor Ritchie.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
Yeah, it's so weird. I think that he had to be.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
Right, you have to interrupt his piano solo.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
I imagine if this was like a huge universe, right,
it's like all the way like two miles away from
a different camp.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
You know what I mean, it's a different building all
together campus. It's like because this theater, right, it's not
next to sculpt Challenge, what there might be an art building.

Speaker 5 (33:41):
It's gonna be huge. It's like a pretty robust art program.
They're just trying to dance wing performing the really graphic
arts that's happening at that time.

Speaker 6 (33:52):
You know.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
Conte, there's one little have one mac there.

Speaker 5 (34:01):
You know, everything else is like Calico computers.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
You think Tar would have put up such bullshit being
someone whilse he's playing the piano.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
It would have been mad. She would have hit her
assistant that also piano, right.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
Okay, So yeah, he gets summoned. He walks himself to
the studio and it's just Lionel Richie and the girl.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
Wait, it's just a two of them.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Yes, everybody leaves, everyone was gone everything.

Speaker 5 (34:27):
We need to get out of here because this guy
did go crazy when he doesn't look like him at all.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
So yeah, then he walks in there and then she says, oh,
mister Reynolds, I have something to show you, and she
spins the Lazy Susan, revealing this Eastern Island desk place
buses representation of what she thinks. L Richie looks like historic.
I think it's his ancestors.

Speaker 5 (34:51):
Oh my god, the chin is insane. It's crazy.

Speaker 4 (34:55):
He's like an assess McFarland character jawline. Now you know
what's funny the line she says, I guess you can
infer from that that she has also been interested in
him all this at the time, I've been wanting to
show you this, but I think now it's finished.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
Right, it's their idea of what.

Speaker 3 (35:12):
He looks like, I guess.

Speaker 5 (35:14):
So do you think at the beginning of the semester
she touched his face because.

Speaker 4 (35:18):
How would she get the sonar of somebody would explain it,
have to explain it or like kind of you know,
give her some idea.

Speaker 5 (35:24):
Oh, he looks kind of like me in the giant chin.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
How could she possibly get an d Maybe she stopped
him too, and like felt his face as he slept.

Speaker 5 (35:33):
Have you ever seen Hulk Hogan when he got on
a really bad on Royd and his head got times bigger?
So you sent us that article part of that.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
Book about right, I want my MTV you talk a
little bit about that. Yeah, Lionel Richie wasn't very happy
behind the scenes of this representation of him in the
music video, and he talked to the director about it,
and the director's like Lyonel Ritchie, this is my story
to paint. And I think the sculptor's fine and she's
blind mind, so we expect language's complaint.

Speaker 5 (36:03):
Was it it didn't look like him? Yeah, yeah, it
doesn't look like me. It doesn't look like And the
director's thing was, while she's blind, you're going to do
an exact representation.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
Yeah she's not. You know, she's no Michelangelo.

Speaker 5 (36:14):
She's gonna get in the Ballpark's Richie again?

Speaker 2 (36:18):
Yea, yeah, ballpark Franks the pump when you could come.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
It's like eighty five percent accuracy.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
Right, that's pretty good.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
Actually, I mean yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
You know, if I had to draw Lionel Richie from memory,
it might look like that a little bit.

Speaker 5 (36:30):
This sculpture is not going to open up his iPhone
though it's.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
Not his face. Ide will reject it and call it
bi immediately. So and then you know, she feels his
face for the first time for us to see, and
uh takes her hand away and he goes hello, No,
but he's.

Speaker 3 (36:48):
Scary like like like pulls her hand and like, right, hello,
He doesn't aggress.

Speaker 5 (36:54):
Yeah, I'm so impressed by your work.

Speaker 3 (36:57):
You're I'm so happy you feel the same way.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
What I touched you, like an American pie kind of thing.
The girl touched him.

Speaker 3 (37:05):
He fades out.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
Huh, I mean he fades out. She's staring at him lovingly.
It's like a happy ending, right, guys.

Speaker 5 (37:10):
This is The classic example of when I watched the
video was like, how the hell would line Orgy do this.
He's such a cool dude. His other videos all that long,
they're definitely something, they're amazing. But when you sent that
article about how he didn't like it, it made so
much more sense that, like, yeah, he wasn't comfortable, he
didn't like this video, he didn't learn where it was going.
I'm sure he was like, oh the teacher cold get that.

(37:30):
I could see how he was.

Speaker 4 (37:31):
Like, but based on the history of it, at least
where the song came from, it's kind of the theme
is kind of similar, right, like him that line that
he says hello, like he wants to talk to somebody,
it's kind of like that. It's just a weird way
of putting it in representing that yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:46):
That's the only thing that's kind of like.

Speaker 5 (37:48):
And the thing about the visually impaired girl, like I'm
trying to think around that time, is was that like
a thing that was where their movies was that.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
I mean, there's a lot of John Hughes movies whereas
the awkward person, but I mean that girl, but it's not,
you know, not that the power dynamic of a teacher
and student. That was very taboo at that time for sure, right, and.

Speaker 5 (38:08):
A teacher and a student, and a student that does
have an eye impairment. That's another thing. You know, that's
kind of a little She could date anybody she wants,
you know, but it's just the teacher predatory her stalking
her throughout.

Speaker 3 (38:19):
The Yeah, she's an adult, but still you're right.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
But I think though that he's not being creep. Well,
you know, he actually really really likes her. It's not
like he's being a creep, like, oh, I'm going to
abuse this situation of her disability. It's not like that
at all. I mean, very pure. I think you know,
his perspective is very pure. It's just, you know, something
comes off as awkward because of the teacher student dynamic.

Speaker 5 (38:40):
I mean that's what usually the court records say before
they take away.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
That's that's true. That will not fly.

Speaker 5 (38:52):
I know college, it's probably frowned upon. But I don't
know if it's if it's illegal not illegal, but maybe
you know, there are use the university guidelines and maybe
that could go against university guylines.

Speaker 4 (39:04):
It could be like a strike on your record, right,
if that situation went sideways, then obviously there's gonna be
some problems.

Speaker 3 (39:11):
But I think just age wise, I mean.

Speaker 5 (39:12):
Whatever, Yeah, so there is a power dynamic that does sure.
I mean it's the eighties, man, you know, different.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
Times, bro.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
I mean, okay, let's look back at someone of some
of the worst of this director. He directed the beat
At music video. He directed Love is a Battlefield as well.

Speaker 5 (39:32):
That's one of the best female videos up at the
MTV Wards.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
Yeah, so he has a head degree of making these,
you know, already classic music videos. So I think he
had power over Ridgie saying no, whatever I decide to
film stays.

Speaker 3 (39:45):
But don't you think his main contention is that the sculpture.
That's not so much the whole.

Speaker 5 (39:52):
Yeah, it's just that part.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
I think maybe he's a you can't stop what's his saying,
so you know, he has to be he has to
control about everything and you know what you're saying. So
he probably felt low offended, like.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
Probably started what is this how you see me?

Speaker 6 (40:06):
As?

Speaker 2 (40:07):
That's probably why you started doing botox? Now its and
this is gonna be in the.

Speaker 3 (40:11):
Well, look at we talk about it.

Speaker 5 (40:13):
Look at. Okay, here are the here are the top
male videos of that year for MTV. Right, so it's
Lina Richie All Night Long, which is a great video, right,
Billy Joe Uptown Girl. That's another, like pretty cool popular video.
Michael Jackson Thriller. I mean, come on, it's thriller. But
Herbie Handcuffed the Rocket. That was a crazy video.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
That was all over four yep, I was earlier too,
but wow, the.

Speaker 5 (40:35):
One that won is the one that should win, which
is China Girl, which is David which is a rat
video too. Yeah, that's such a good video, but it's
just crazy that.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
You know, Hello survived because it's mimable.

Speaker 3 (40:48):
Wait a minute, did this get nominated?

Speaker 5 (40:49):
All no, no, no no no, All I Long got
nominated and then for Video of the Yeah, Video of
the Year that year, so that was just for male video.
For Video of the Year that year was Police Every
breath You take, the New Opper Girl just want to
have fun? Come on, Captain Robano thriller, her behindcock rocket
and the cars. You might think, which is of ours
one that year? Yea, which is probably because of the

(41:11):
paint box.

Speaker 2 (41:12):
Yeah, special effects.

Speaker 5 (41:14):
They're like, whoa, what is this Jurassic Park which is
gonna come out in a couple of years. I could
see line Archer being like, man, we just did online,
Like that was such a fun video.

Speaker 3 (41:22):
This is so heavy.

Speaker 2 (41:24):
Well, any album is supposed to have a ballad, right,
you got to have a ballad, inn Right, you got
to balance it out, you got to be happy and sad.

Speaker 5 (41:32):
But can't you see this as like an indie horror flick,
like right, and you can totally paint it. It's a
blood or something.

Speaker 2 (41:39):
I can edit it to be like a horror MOVI. Like,
he's like the column that came came to life, you know,
the disculpture came to life and it's stalking her now.

Speaker 5 (41:48):
She's upset with obsessed with him, and she was like
lying about her impairment and the stocking was actually the
other way around. It's like, like, what's the one, the
candy one where the girls actually get are actually having
people come and they're killing the guys with the strangers candy.

Speaker 3 (42:07):
No, you're thinking of counter reason the.

Speaker 2 (42:09):
Two oh oh shoot uh knock knock knock, knock, knock,
knock knock.

Speaker 5 (42:17):
Like one of those.

Speaker 2 (42:18):
It was free pizza.

Speaker 3 (42:19):
Hello.

Speaker 5 (42:24):
You know the video looked great, I mean, you know,
other than the ending, it's I.

Speaker 2 (42:32):
Mean everybody, This ending really resonated with a lot of people.
So much merch was created.

Speaker 3 (42:37):
Yeah, the ending was the payoff and you know you
needed that anyway. It was too heavy, all about it, right,
and then you had that ten percent of there it is.

Speaker 2 (42:47):
It's the climax. The body floated into the treeouse.

Speaker 5 (42:53):
You know, this year of the MTV Music Wars there
was Best Experimental Video m that was a category. I
don't know, I've heard we handcock the rocket. Oh yeah,
but you might think was up for that Thomas Adobe Hyperactive,
Alan Parsons Project don't answer Me, and Neil Young wondering
mm hmm, but like the that's weird that rocket went

(43:15):
that one but didn't win.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
The Video of the Year. Well yeah, rocket was out
there though, all the roboducts there and yeah it was awesome. Okay,
that concludes the music video discussion. We'll be back for
some notable YouTube comments all right, time for that notable
YouTube comments forever exactly? Okay, you know it's uh if

(43:44):
you scroll through, have you guys browsed through? What comments?
Is so much love for linond Richie. A lot of
nostalgic people, old people, saying how much his music affected them.
It wasn't like the mess that we had to read
through and last week's whip.

Speaker 4 (43:57):
It no contry versus with him, He's always been certain
arrow right. Yeah, that's awesome, so okay.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
First first comment is by officer poop Nugget nine nine
eight nine from three years ago. God, this hits so
close to home, that feeling of longing knowing you won't
be able to share a romance with someone you desperately
want to, knowing that that person's name will bring butterflies
in your stomach, but your name is just another name
in their mind. That feeling is far worse than any rejection.

(44:26):
It's a permanent doubt in yourself and a permanent regret
that maybe if I said something, we would be together.
Maybe those little instances really mean something, And maybe there
are thinking the same thing that I am, that longing
but knowing it won't work. I know that feeling too
well fatalistic.

Speaker 5 (44:45):
The video of the video, they're both into each other.
It seems like right, yeah, paid off.

Speaker 2 (44:48):
But I'm surely I think this guy's video, yeah, with
that name, I think will not work. Poop Nugget, Yes,
Aaron fifty six says it is the year twenty eighty four.
I came back in the time machine to tell you
all that we are still loving and listening to the
song on this one underth anniversary. Thank you, Lionel rest

(45:08):
in peace. Well it's cultural is so probably still be
a live right anyone?

Speaker 5 (45:14):
Could you buy this culture on eBay?

Speaker 2 (45:16):
Or oh you buy the pin right, the enamel pin.
And I like that she made a little graveyard emoji,
so mstone emoji for Lionel Ritchie. At the Missmish one
oh one says this is one month ago everyone had
a crush on his teacher. My crush was a gorgeous
red edit teacher named missus Pewinaka. I love her. She

(45:36):
made school bearable. And finally at Bill Lackey five one
five eight, I don't know why I chose this one
because it's just a it's a word. Salad Vin Diesel,
the actor. His birthday is July eighteenth, just like mine.
Is ten years younger than me, and I always thought
he was cool, just like Lionel Ritchie and a lot
of people I liked like, says the Lesters Alone Clint Eastwood.

(45:56):
There's a lot of cool people out here in this world,
and that I like to tell you what life is precious.

Speaker 5 (46:01):
Wait a minute, is that Lionel Richard's birthday too? Or
just him?

Speaker 2 (46:04):
In Vin Diesel He says it was just a school
at Line Richie. I think it's Vin Deal's birthday July eighteenth.

Speaker 3 (46:09):
That's the only connection.

Speaker 5 (46:10):
A collection twentieth.

Speaker 3 (46:14):
He's probably like drunk.

Speaker 2 (46:15):
I don't know, but Bill Lackey is lacking in intelligence.

Speaker 3 (46:20):
Sometimes he was just away right.

Speaker 2 (46:23):
He's he's dragged. Vin Diesel, I love you so much.
Let's t you do this music video? Maybe Vin Deale's
is hello, Okay, you know subject?

Speaker 5 (46:33):
Okay, guys, he draws pictures of Vin Diesel.

Speaker 2 (46:37):
It's family Corona. Okay, guys, Lionel Richie's Hello. Would you
keep it or would you throw it back?

Speaker 3 (46:48):
I'm so sculpting my hands.

Speaker 5 (46:51):
I am going to throw this back because Lionel Richie
is correct and it wasn't a good move. I think
dancing on the ceiling and all night long are superior
your videos, and you could tell Chie's loving those videos.
And I think he had a hard time with this.
I don't think he liked it. I think there's a
reason why I didn't see this because I don't think
it was really on rotation too much like those other videos.

(47:11):
I mean, I remember.

Speaker 2 (47:14):
All the time I think he's good with like fun, happy, Yeah,
but he has to act his personality right.

Speaker 5 (47:20):
Yeah, he's a fun guy. He's always he seems like
a positive kind of dude. Like you talk to him,
he's always good. He's a good talk you up, you know,
like he could like he could talk you and hitting
a home run now to see that happening, you can
do it, you can do it. So yeah, I'm gonna
throw this back because, like I said, and the word
patory thing is it still freaks me out. I'm sorry, Lionel,

(47:44):
but I love your other videos very much, and I.

Speaker 2 (47:46):
Love the song.

Speaker 5 (47:46):
The song is awesome.

Speaker 3 (47:47):
Songs great, isn't.

Speaker 5 (47:50):
His voice is so good.

Speaker 3 (47:51):
He's just it's also the song making right the verses.
That's great.

Speaker 5 (47:57):
A song that makes you want to do like the
chorus and the hello you want to try.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
To hit that?

Speaker 3 (48:03):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (48:03):
Yeah, I failed many times today trying to do it.

Speaker 1 (48:06):
You know.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
It's it's like a Pavlows dog, you know. Every time
I hear to see the word hello, I have to
sing it the way he's just trying to sing it.

Speaker 3 (48:12):
Wow. Mine, this falls into the category of have you
seen this boot? You gonna love this?

Speaker 1 (48:19):
Right?

Speaker 3 (48:20):
So your kids for that reason alone. And the funny
thing is you can't really talk about that with kids obviously,
because you want them to just formulate their own about this.
So it's really about like that snickering. I wonder what
they can think of podcast, you know, Like I said,
I always show these videos.

Speaker 2 (48:37):
In the room waiting for him to figure it out.

Speaker 3 (48:40):
Just for that very reason alone. I want to I
want to keep it.

Speaker 4 (48:43):
I don't think that it should be stashed away and
be thrown away. I like that he was adventurous enough
to try a different side of his personality, which is
obviously this dramatic love story, right like rambling in.

Speaker 3 (48:56):
In this in this ultra liberal college.

Speaker 4 (48:59):
He's a professor up and now he's got the sense
of humor and like, you know, like I can laugh
on myself that was back then, and he even made
the commercials that we saw commercial So I think that
kind of you know, like he can look back and
say it's all good and he has a good humor
about he's not like you know, like pissed off or
like once like just keeping under the carpet. So I

(49:19):
like that, and it's kind of a funny, really funny,
but it is funny in that sense you want to
kind of you know, share with everybody, and that's kind
of well, this.

Speaker 5 (49:27):
Is a very terrible video. That's it.

Speaker 3 (49:29):
That's a terrible video. So it is a key for me.

Speaker 2 (49:32):
All right.

Speaker 5 (49:34):
I have one fact for you guys. Did you know
that line Richie is a freemason?

Speaker 2 (49:38):
Oh wow, I saw that as a Wikipedia Yeah, I
know this is true or not, but.

Speaker 3 (49:42):
Yeah, that's a powerful man. Yeah, let me get I.

Speaker 2 (49:44):
Thought how he managed to earn seven million a years with.

Speaker 3 (49:47):
His celebrity north that's in one hundred mil right easily.
I'm gonna go to twenty.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
I go four to fifty. All right, Okay, there's royalties
for hours of world.

Speaker 5 (49:55):
And ship Lionel Richie is smet. This is twenty twenty
four is estimated to be worth two hundred million dollars.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
Ryan to the Tea almost that.

Speaker 5 (50:05):
His fortune comes for over five decades of writing hit
songs and performing them all all over the world, both
of the commodoores and the soul We got to Forget
Forget the Commodorees.

Speaker 2 (50:14):
You know I didn't mention it in the beginning.

Speaker 5 (50:15):
Yeah, so yeah, that's a pretty.

Speaker 2 (50:19):
Show, okay, And that's for me. I definitely take cues
from Louis with at the ending just kind of really
took me out of whatever this this music video was
trying to convey. But it is funny as well, and
it is very much shareable, Like you know, I totally
get Ryan's point of view in that. And but for
me though, it's like if I was a director and

(50:39):
this was the script I was given, I will reject it.
I will throw it away. So yeah, I'm throwing this back.

Speaker 5 (50:46):
But you know what the brilliance of this video is
that you do you see the back of the of
the theater there, like I know what that is. I know,
I know that that main, That Lion's main, that lion
all the line's main. So you know what's gonna happen.
But when it happens, it's so horrifying.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
But it could be weird. Now you kind of look
like this.

Speaker 3 (51:10):
Have they had the ending be different, you guys would
keep it. Isn't the ending that's keeping keeping.

Speaker 5 (51:15):
The predatory part is.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
That's just how bad that sculpture was. It just took
me out of it.

Speaker 5 (51:22):
But I think mind is too cool. It doesn't have
to stock somebody.

Speaker 3 (51:25):
You could just be like, yo, girl, what's up to
my office?

Speaker 1 (51:28):
Right?

Speaker 5 (51:29):
I got officer stuff.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
It's like, you know, if you go to my office,
Brooklyn Dodgers won't be the Brooken Dodgers anymore.

Speaker 5 (51:34):
Baby, you go down, go down the Starbucks, give me
a coffee on my office.

Speaker 3 (51:40):
That's true. That's a pretty cool guy.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
So wow to two throwbacks and one keep.

Speaker 5 (51:50):
But it's it's a soft throwback. But because of the
shareableness of this, you don't want to show.

Speaker 2 (51:56):
We are showing this, but I'm still showing gag got
it all right? For our next episode? What you got
for us?

Speaker 3 (52:02):
Ryan Ship? All right, man, your life maskets are going
down the river sticks? Ooh you know this out here, a.

Speaker 2 (52:09):
Right, mister, Yes, man, I wanted to do that at
one point, but time ago. The river sticks mister Robota
eighty three, and we're kind of keeping it closer right
with the years. All right, So we'll see you guys
next time with sticks is mister Roboto. Thank you for listening,

It's strange that there's not a telephone in this video, right,
not once? Yeah, yeah, he's calling her from from your bedroom.
I'm sorry, I only remember the horrifying part.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
Just wiped it out the lean right, like that was
a palide cleansing, because that's the most normal part.

Speaker 5 (53:10):
Yeah, yeah, that's the normal part makes sense.

Speaker 3 (53:12):
You know, somebody used a halo, but everything else.

Speaker 5 (53:14):
