  Speaker 2: for their whole lives.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: You know it.
• 1:29

  Speaker 2: could be Oh my gosh, I got this Children of
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: the Eighties sticker. My life is complete.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: What about a magnet they could put on their refrigerator?
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Do you have one of those? Okay? Well yeah, I mean.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: That's even more exciting, right, that's.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Better than a sticker. I mean, what are are listeners?
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Eight years old? They get a scratch and sniffe. Don't
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: want to scratch and sniff us?
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Oh gosh, no, I'm sorry. I can't guarantee you what
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: that would smell like.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: They could put a sticker on their stanley. So what's
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: going on over there?
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: I feel a.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Little little discombobulated today, but that's okay. Yeah, yeah, how
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: are you doing?
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm surviving.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: You are a survivor.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I am like the Destiny's Child song.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: So what kind of feedback did you get from last
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: week's episode on the Golden.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Girls that people like the Golden Girls? So I did
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: run a poll? I did too, all right, so I
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: need to know on your poll who the winner was?
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Uh for the Golden Girls. So for those of you
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: that didn't see the polls or maybe not part of
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: social media, we ran a poll on who is your
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: favorite Golden Girl? And so I ran one on Twitter,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: and Lindsey ran one on Facebook and Instagram. And I
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: need to know who won, because you're going to crack up,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Diane laughing. Now there's still six hours left on my poll.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I'm pulling it up here while we talk. But I
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: was a little bit surprised with the results here. So
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: we got two votes for Sophia. That does not surprise me,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and two votes for Dorothy. That is what surprises me.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: People like Dorothy.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: We got four votes.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, should I have padded those results?
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: That's the fete?
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: We've got twenty votes for no and then I voted
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: for Rose. I always vote for Rose. What's wrong with you?
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: People?
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: So I got a lot more votes than four, and
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I still have six hours left. But you're going to
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: crack up at this. It is a dead heat right now.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Dorothy has thirty percent, Blanche has thirty percent, and Sophia
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: has thirty percent. Really the votes Rose is bringing up
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: the rear at ten percent?
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Isn't that funny? I thought everybody would love Rose. I
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: thought so too, I mean, how could you not love her?
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Saint Olaf story, I know, the saying all off stories,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: just the simpleness of her mind, the way her mind worked,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I guess. Yeah.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: But that storyline with Miles, people didn't like it.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Maybe that was it. But Rose first couple of seasons
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: it was hilarious.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she was always had some good lines.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so obviously we know that polls on Facebook apparently
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: don't work.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing. We are a male centric podcast,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: even though I would love to add a few more
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: ladies to the mix. And so I think guys are
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: on X.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: You think so I do.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I mean that's what I tell myself to make myself
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: feel better.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'm not going to dispute you.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: So I got a couple of things I want to
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: talk to you about.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, First of all, got.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: A little bit of history. Oh history, I know that's well,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: that's right up your alley. In nineteen eighty nine. How
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: many years ago was that?
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Thirty six?
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: The Berlin Wall fell? Oh, thirty six years ago.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Thirty six years ago today the Berlin wallfell? Yeah, of course,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: always as ten.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, I remember that, and I remember especially I think
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: we've talked about this before that my mom was very
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: emotional about that and was stuck to the TV watching
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: all that she could about it. Of course yes, and
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: her trying to explain to me, a ten year old kid,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: that you know, families got up and went to work
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: or went about their lives that morning that it was
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: put up and then couldn't get home and families were
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: separated and split up, and how emotional that reunion would
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: have been for them. So anyways, thirty.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Six years, thirty six years ago, the Berlin Wall may
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: not have been up for thirty six years.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Oh no, No, the Berlin Wall was not up for
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: thirty six years. Did I insinuate that it was?
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: No, I'm just saying like, oh.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: It's been down.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: It's been down longer than it was up. And that
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: makes me feel super old. We are because in nineteen
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: eighty nine I would have swore that the Berlin Wall
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: had been up for like a billion years, even though
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I know it was only in the sixties right now,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: but it felt like one hundred years ago.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know that. So back in the eighties, the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: sixties felt like a lifetime.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Ago, right, But here we are thirty six years later.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Back in the eighties, thirty six years. Depending on what
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: year you're talking about, could have been like nineteen forty three.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Let's move round, So midst of World War Two.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Chris jerichos him and a birthday? Okay, fifty five? Is
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: that that's kind of hard for me to believe that
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Chris Jericho's fifty five.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: It doesn't seem right that I'm almost as old as
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Chris Jericho because I felt like I was a kid
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: when I watched him on TV.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Oh see, I thought he was a kid. Well he was,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and I was an adult.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: He was a kid and I was an adult, ok
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: But let me pull up his Instagram account. I know
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: you don't have Instagram.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I do not.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: So here's a picture of him, and I can't quite
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: figure out if he's okay or not. I'm going to
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: turn it around so you can see it. I don't
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: know if you might need to stand up. I'm hooked
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: up to all of your contraptions. But what happened?
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's fifty five, he's still in great shade.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Why did his chest aflate? Did he have implants he
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: had removed?
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Maybe? No, I mean you can start losing muscle when
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: you get over forty.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Really, I mean, listen, I'm a chunky monkey, but and
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: he's not chunky.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: No, he's got abs.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: He's wavy.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's lumpy.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: He's lumpy. Somebody said that he might be getting ready
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: for a comeback.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Oh that'd be cool. I guess I don't know. I
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: don't really watch your assle in that.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, So that's what Chris Jericho's got going on.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: And I'm wondering why you're bringing up Chris Jerreed. So
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: that's just random.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, I saw that picture on Instagram. But hold on,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: why are you irritated?
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: I stay perpetually irritated.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I want you to see what Ddp's out there doing.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Hold on, I know what Ddp's out there doing.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I was hoping I could pull it up, but I
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: can't find it. Now he's doing his yoga and he's
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: almost seventy and he's basically doing the splits out on
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the beach doing his yoga.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because he had severe back problems that ended his
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: career and he was having trouble surviving and then he
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: discovered yoga, which helped his back and now he lives
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: by that daily and helps other people.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got a show now on two B that
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I want to watch where he's helping people trying to
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: get their lives back together. And Buff Bagwell is one
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: of the people on that show. I'm not sure that
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Buff Bagwell is helpable, but I hope he is.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean you would have said that Lex Luger
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: wasn't helpable, and DDP helped Lex Luger.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: So Lex Luger is able to take a couple of
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: steps on his own, I know.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: And he was wheelchair bound for many years.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Which is just mind blowing. So that's amazing.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Uh, got anything else.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I do, But with the looks you've been giving me
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: over the Chris Jericho and DDP thing, I don't know
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: if I shouldn't do it or Well.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: It's strange because this isn't a wrestling podcast. And I
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: know that we talk we talk stuff about but usually
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: it's about the subject of the of the shows. But
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: I want people to know that this isn't a wrestling episode. No,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: it's not a wrestling episode. Okay, Well, I've got something
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: that I haven't done in a long time. Ready you ready, I'm.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: Ready, Get off my lawn. Did you hear me? I
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: said get off my lawn.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Now, get off my lawn.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I'm not happy. I don't like this chair and I
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: don't like this dish. And I don't like being here.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I'm a grumpy old man.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: I don't like everything the way it is now compared
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: to the way it used to be.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: So here is my complaint today. And our buddy def
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Dave kind of gave me this idea, but I agree
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: with him because this is something that I've complained about
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: for a long time, but I've never brought it to
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: the podcast.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Oh so you complained in private.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: No, I've complained to you about this.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's private.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Well, okay, I guess you know. I haven't complained in
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: public over the airwaves like I am now. But I
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: hate it when you go to a store or you
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: go through a drive through and you pay with cash
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: and then they give you back. You hold out your
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: hand to get the change, and they put the dollar
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: bill and the receipt down first and then toss all
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: the change on top of it.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Because then it's like whoa, because yes, wow, what am
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I a balancing act here?
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: It's like I've got a seesaw on my hand and
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: I'm trying not to drop the change or the dollar bills.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: So then I've got to like crunch it. I crunch
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: up the dollar bill.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: And it's all crinkly, and then it's difficult to get
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: into my wallet because I like to keep them straight.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: What is the deal with that? Common sense would tell
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: you hand the change first, so then the person can
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: make a fist. But then they still got these two
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: little pincers with their thumb and their forefinger. That you
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: can hand them the bills back and the receipt and
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: everything would be just fine. Why are you handing me
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: the bills first? Who does that?
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Okay, I have a question cash anymore? Ye? Well, people
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: who want to keep track of their money, Oh, Dave
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Ramsey does well?
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Whatever, Like if I don't pay in cash, I'm expecting
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: there to be Oh I don't know. Let's say eight
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: hundred dollars in the bank, and the next thing I
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: look and there's two hundred and ten dollars. I start
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: flipping out because people are just charging left and right
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: with that card.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Are what are we doing?
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Charging left and right?
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: You can't see this is not a video podcast, but
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: he's swiping his arms up and down.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so quit handing me the dollar bills and the
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: receipts back. First, Hand me the change back first. It's
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: common sense not to mention when somebody pays. You know,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: when you got a handback change, you should be counting
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: the change first anyway.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: So okay, so here I can I give you my
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: two cents, Yes, as long as I don't put the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: two cents on top of the dollar bills, do not.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I think that people do that nowadays because the machine
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: is telling them how much to give you, so they're
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: not it back.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: That is correct.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: So like when I worked in retail, we didn't have
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: a cash register that would tell me how much change
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: to make. I had to count it to figure it
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: out on your own. That's how it works at quick Trip.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I had to figure it out on my own. And
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: so therefore, if I'm doing it that way, then I'm
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: going to count the change first and then the dollar bills,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: and then that's how I'm going to hand it to
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the customer. But the generation now, I think the machine
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: just says give them four dollars and twenty four cents,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: and that's what they get out and give them.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: But you don't think that they have enough common sense
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: to hand the change first.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: No, Nope, Well.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Apparently they don't because I get the dollar bills first,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: and the receipt and the change and I feel like
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: they're also trying to hand me my drinking bag of food.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Oh they are. They're trying to give it to you
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: all at one time.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: As I have those things grasped in my hand and
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: change is flying everywhere.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're gonna end up just dropping something. And I
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: just hope it's not the coke.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, And I hope it's not the sprite either.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah right, Yeah, that's irritating. That irritates me. So let's
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, let's just get some common sense. I mean,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: I think we I think we're way past We're long
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: past that way.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Yep, that ship has sailed.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Butler, all right, well, I guess there's nothing I can
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: do about it.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Now. Today's episode is about wrestling and change.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: It is not, but we'll get to that in a second.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Are you ready to I am ready to do it,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: This is a podcast that looks back on the decade
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: of the nineteen eighties. We talk about things that were
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: important to us as children and what we look back
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: on with fond memories as adults. Ultimately, this is a nostalgia.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Podcast, and today we are getting nostalgic about the most
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: nostalgic thing there is that is music. I decided that
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: we were gonna have a little fun today, and so
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: what I've done is I have picked out ten songs,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: one from each year of the decade, and I'm gonna
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: they were popular songs, and I'm gonna have you guess
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: whether this song that I play hit number one or not.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, So are we gonna have fun or are we
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: gonna have fun at my expense?
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: No, we're gonna have fun, I mean, because.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: You know I I'm.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: But I but listen, anybody could get these wrong or right,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: because it's a fifty to fifty chance. I'm no Jason Colevin,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: I know, but I wouldn't know either. I would probably
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: go about five for ten on these if I didn't
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: look them up myself. Okay, so if you just go,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: let's just say you just go thirty percent. That's the
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: hit in three hundred in baseball, that's a win. So
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: my goal is to get three right right. Your goal
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: is to get three right, surely to goodness. But if
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: you can get more than three right would be great too.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: So when you think of number one songs of the eighties,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: are there any that that like popped your mind at
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: all or anie artists.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Madonna, Yeah, Whitney Houston.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Ship, Yeah, they both had some number ones. Michael Jackson,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: you had a bunch. Those are the three, the three
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: big ones that pop into your mind. What about you,
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Prince Billy, Joel, Bill Collins.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: There you go, Genesis, Yes.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: All that Phil. Phil was on the radio more than
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Michael Jackson in the eighties because he had a he
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: had a bandana.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: He had a bandana. Did he wear it around his head?
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: He had a band and a solo career. I don't
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: recall seeing Phil in a bandana. Oh boy. So yeah,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: So I'm gonna play each of these songs, We'll talk
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: about them little bit, and then I will have you
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: guess you know, was it a number one song or not?
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Yes or no? Okay, what do you think?
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: I'm ready?
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: You ready?
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: And I've done no research.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: No, you have not. I'm the only one that did research.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: We're going at this. We're winging it here, okay, but yeah,
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: this should be fun. You complain about the only letters
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: you get from mere podcast outline, So I didn't bother
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: sending you one this time?
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: Thank you?
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: So there you go. All right, let's get some music here,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: going okay, So here is our first song from nineteen eighty.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Let's see a if you recognize it, which I believe
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: you will, and then we'll talk about it.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I'm so lost that you were right, believe so, But
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: am I with that? I can't be too late just
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: say that I was so right. I want you to.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: So who is that?
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: That's air Supply?
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: And what is that song?
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: All out of law?
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Yes, that is correct. Do you like that song?
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I love that song? And I note that most days
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: if you bring up air Supply, I'm probably gonna like
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: poke fun a little bit at him or chuckle a
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: little bit under my breath about it. But just truthfully,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I love that song.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's a great song. I love air Supply, so yeah,
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can make fun of me all you want.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: But air Supply was like the soft rock kings of
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: the early eighties.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: So I have a quick question. Are they yacht rock? No,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: not at all. I don't believe so well.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: I'm sure the consultant will hit me up on on Twitter,
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: you know, when this plays, But I'm almost positive they're
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: not considered yat rock.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, and they're pre hairband, yes they are, certainly they're
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: in some weird little Yeah, they're from about late seventy
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: nine till about eighty three eighty four, about the time
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: hairbands came in that kind of ushered, kind of like
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: air supply with Journey a little bit.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Journey's a little bit earlier and then lasted a
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: little bit longer. Journey actually lasted into the hair bands.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: But you know, they most of their hits were early eighties,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: late seventies, early eighties. So I'm gonna ask you now,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: did that song hit number one?
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: Wrong?
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong wrong, wrong, You're wrong, You're wrong, You're.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Ang that's funny. Who is that?
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: That's doctor Cox? Okay, so this one was actually really close.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: So listen, this song hit number two and it stayed
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: there for four weeks. It was held off by Upside
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Down by Diana Ross for three of those weeks, and
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: then another one bites the dust for its final week.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: So there you go. So it should it should have.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Been a number one. It absolutely should have been a
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: number one. So you missed it. But it's not like
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: it was a number forty hit, right, you know, I
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: probably would have guessed that it had been a number
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: one hit as well. If I'm being honest.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: It deserves it, right.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's such a great, great love song. I think
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: air Supply may have only had one number one hit.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Oh really, yeah, I think so. I think a lot
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: of they had, like a lot of top five.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Wait wait, wait, wait wait. So you're saying that air
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Supply is a one hit wonder.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: No one hit wonder would be one one hit in
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: the top forty or you know, one hit that's known
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: more than any other hits. What I'm saying is I
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: believe they only had one number one hit, but they
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: had a bunch of top five hits, a bunch of
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: number two hits. Actually, so no, air Supply is certainly
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: not a one hit wonder. So that was nineteen eighty
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Are you ready to move on to nineteen eighty one
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: or you got anything else to say about I'm lying
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: alone with my head on the phone thinking of you
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: till it hurts.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Kids today have no idea about that.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: No, they do not. All right, We're moving on to
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighty one. You would have been roughly two years
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: old when this song hit it big. So I'm wondering
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: if you know if this song hit number one or not.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: But some.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: I love how we're both just chair dancing to that song.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: So why do I feel like Carlton loved this song?
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: He probably would have. So do you know what song
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: that is? And who sings it?
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I feel like if I guess wrong, I'll get made
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: fun of. Is it Olivia Newton Johonnes?
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: No, but you're clothes? It's Sheena Easton?
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Of course it's Sheena Easton. Why wouldn't I hear this song?
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Do I think of Brad from I don't know your book?
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: He has he talked about?
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Does he take the morning train and work from ninety
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: five millis as school teacher? I know he doesn't work
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: nine to five.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Sure he works a lot more than nine to five.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Has he talked about that song before?
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I have no idea.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Well, I hope I didn't offend him. If he hasn't,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: it'd be like, why do you think of me when
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: you hear.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: The Curently Brad Lindsey thinks of you when she hears
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Sheena Easton. That's a little strange. I don't know if
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: you'll be invited back onto their podcast again.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. I swear I think he likes that song,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Okay, do I think it hit number one? No?
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: I do not. Well, this song.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Did hit number one. It hit number one for two weeks.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: It hit it in May of nineteen eighty one. It
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: is one of two songs in nineteen eighty one with
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: the words nine to five in the title that hit
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: number one.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, why I at least I know the other one
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: of those.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: So I believe this song was called originally called nine
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: to five, and because of Dolly's song, they changed it
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: to morning train and then parentheticals nine to five. And
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: the nine to five is spelled out unlike the numbers
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: for Dolly. Yep, But they're both about working from nine
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: to five. Apparently the nine to five was a thing
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: in the.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Well, I think because the eighties. Wouldn't she say? Women
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: in the workforce really took off in the eighties, And
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: so I'm wondering if that's why suddenly we had women
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: singing about nine to five.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Possibly, but I believe she and Easton was staying at
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: home and waiting for her bow to get back. He
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: took the morning train. See I always think when I
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: hear morning train, I think of New York. I don't
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: know why, But yeah, you know, that's that's what I
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: think of, all right?
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Anything else about that song that you have to say?
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Do you like that song?
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: I kind of do.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: It's catchy, it's kind of catchy, it's kind of fun.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah it is. It is, all right. So moving on
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: to our third song from nineteen eighty two.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: Okay, here we go, not damage.
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: How am I going to manage you?
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: I've never heard that song before in my life.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: You've never heard that song before in your life. No,
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: that's Holding Me by Fleetwood Mass. I was going to say,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: is it Fleetwood Mats it is? That's Christy McVeigh and
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Lindsey Bucking. I'm singing actually together throughout the whole song.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: I'm the pressures on. I think it did hit number one, y'all.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Do not do not hit that button, Jim, Jim.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: This song actually topped out at number four. But here's
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: the crazy thing.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: So before we hit record, you sent to me, seriously,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: how bad could this go? And now we're finding out that.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: So this song hit number four and this is something
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: that I've never seen before. It stayed at number four
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: for seven weeks.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Why what was around it?
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: I think the reason why it stayed there is because
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: it hit number four at the exact same time that
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Ia the Tiger hit number one the exact same week,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: And I have the Tiger was number one for six weeks.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: So it just held it off.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: It just held it off. And so yeah, poor Fleetwood Mac.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: They maybe could have had a number one in nineteen
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: eighty two, but they they didn't get there because of
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Rocky three, and they knew that Rocky was eventually going
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: to stop the Cold War. So that song, yeah, you know,
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: peaked at number one for so long, So you've really
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: never heard that song before, heard that that's like on
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: their greatest hits. I think I've I've failed as a
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: as an older child of the eighties to not get
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: you into more Fleetwood Mac.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not a big Fleetwood Mac fan.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: I bet you that you would recognize about anywhere from
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: twelve to fifteen Fleetwood Mac songs. Maybe all right, moving
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: on nineteen eighty three, I have a feeling that you're due,
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: that you're going to get this, So here we go,
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighty three.
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: Guess I'm not comic gasuns.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: So this song reminds me of Scrubs.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Of course I should have said that I should have
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: said the doctor Cox one for this, the doctor Cox
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: wrong for this.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get her wrong.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Well, you may or may not. I don't know. So
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: a what is this song? So you know that this
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: song is overkilled by Minute Work?
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Right? Yes? Of course.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: So Minute Work had two number one songs before they
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: released this song. So the question is did they end
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: up getting a third or did this song no, not
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: quite make it no?
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: And let me tell you why I'm going with no, okay,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: because my gut says yes.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Well I've got some news for you, lindsay.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Okay, there you go. Thank the Lord. I got one.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So that song, Overkill peaked at number three on
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: June fourth of nineteen eighty three. Minute Work were huge
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: in the early eighties, especially on MTV. They had some
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: great videos and just some great songs. And that's probably
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: my favorite Minute Work song, even though it didn't hit
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: number one. Oh really, yeah, I love that song. I
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: love the acoustic version that Colin Hay plays on Scrubs.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: But yeah, that's that's my favorite Minute Work song by far.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: And I like Who Can It Be Now? And Down
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Under I like them a lot, but Overkills just my favorite.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: What about you. What's your favorite minute work song?
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: I think it's a close call between this one and
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: who can it be? Now?
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, As a child, I would have said, or
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: as maybe as a young adult, I probably would have
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: said it was down Under for me. Yeah, but as
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: I've gotten older, overkills just I don't know why it
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: brings back more of a feeling of nostalgia for me
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: than the other two.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Dude, No, I can see that, but I don't know why.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: I don't either. I have no idea why. But it's
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: it's just a fantastic song, all right. So you are
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: one for four, so that means you only got to
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: get two out of six. You know. I hope you
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: can do better, but you know, if you can't, don't
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: worry about it. This is not easy. I guarantee if
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: we would have had a guest on, they would probably be,
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: you know, one for four, maybe two for four. All right.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: So one of the best years for music in the eighties,
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighty four.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Is he singing about reflux? Can you say something about
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: acid reflux?
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: I love that. That is the reflex by Duran Duran Oh, okay,
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: the group so good that you couldn't say their name
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: just once.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know that song.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: You do not know that song? No, well, you would
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: have only been uh five ish when that song came out. Yeah.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: In fact, this song reached its peak position two days
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: before your fifth birthday. So it doesn't surprise me that
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: you don't know that song.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: And we were listening.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: To you were listening to all country back.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Then, Kenny and Dolly.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you weren't a huge durand Duran nowhere.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not a big Duran Duran fan. I'm gonna
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: say it did not.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: What does your gut tell you?
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: My gut feel some acid reflop, So my gut says
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: that maybe it did. It did reach number one? Wait wait, wait, wait,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: my gut says, what does my gut say? My gut's
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: kind of nauseous. No, I don't think it did.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: You don't think it hit number now, I do not.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: You of I did.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: This song did hit number one. It hit number one
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: on June twenty third of nineteen eighty four, and it
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: stayed at the top spot for two weeks. So remember,
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: Duran Duran was huge. So this followed up. This actually
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: followed up time after time at the number one spot,
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: and then what knocked this out of the number one
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: spot was when Doves Cried by Prince.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Well that's a good song. Yes, So here's my hope.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: We're on the downward swing of the eighties now and
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: you're going to know more of the and I really
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: hope I know more of the music. Can I phone
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: a friend if I need to?
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Certainly? So what blows me away? So that song's good?
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: I you know, I like it, but I don't love it.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Hungry Like the Wolf didn't hit number one, so that
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: was a bigger hit technically than Hungry Like the Wolf.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: That's surprising to me, right because we all know Hungry
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Like the Wolf. Hungry Like the Wolf is more iconic
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: than the reflex is for sure.
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Well, my next door neighbor growing up, he is a
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: huge Duran Duran fan. He went to their concert a
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: few times. Oh well, I remember being jealous cause I
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: was like ten and he was like fourteen, So I
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: remember being jealous that he always got the fun stuff.
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: Okay, nineteen eighty five is next, and I wonder if
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: you know this song. Wait, that's a making dinner music.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: Nothing like smooth love songs of the early eighties, right,
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: I guess this is mid eighties. Technically. That song, for
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: those of you that may not be aware, is Cherish
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: by cool in the Game?
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Is it really cool in the game of me?
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Some cool in the Game? Cool in the Gang had
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: a lot more hits in the eighties than you think.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Apparently they're diverse, because that, to me does not sound
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: like cool.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: And because you're thinking of like Ladies' Night and celebration
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: and jungle boogie and that kind of stuff.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Well, that's jungle boogies. What's about to happen when they
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: listen to that's?
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: You got me? H? So hey, what is your gut
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: thinking be? What are you gonna get? Did this song
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: hit number one or not? In nineteen eighty five?
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Yes, you can't handle the truth? What does that mean? Yes?
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Or no?
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: I can't get one?
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Oh man?
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: This song hit number two for three weeks in September
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: of nineteen eighty five. Now you're gonna ask me.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: People are gonna people are cutting us off and hanging
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: up on us and moving on and blocking us. We've
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: lost all of our listeners.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: That's funny. So you're gonna ask me what held it
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: off of the number one start, aren't You?
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Money for Nothing by Doctor.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, there you go. So you know if you play that,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: I would have known that was number one.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: Well, I had to play stuff that wasn't completely obvious, right,
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: So to you Cherish? Did you know the song Cherish?
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Okay? And you love the song chairs I.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't say I love it, but I know it. And
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: little Len's thought that that was a grocery store song. Really, yeah,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: you would hear that song at the grocery store.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: All right, I think you're gonna know this next one
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: for sure. All right, here we go nineteen eighty six.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Hold on, I just texted Jason Colevin. He's got the
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: answer for me.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: So do you like that song?
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: I do like that.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: That's Higher Love by Steve win Wood a really good song.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: It is a It is a good song. Steve win
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: would kind of rule the airwaves in the mid to
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: late eighties with a bunch of top five hits. Okay,
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: so did this song hit?
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: I'm stressed so I'm just got to get to it.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: Did this song hit number one?
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Yes? That is correct? Who is that that? He's correct?
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you got it right.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: This song did hit?
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: This song did hit number one. It peaked there just
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: for one week in late August of nineteen eighty six.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: It would be replaced the following week by Banana Rama
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: with Venus of course. No, Steve win would should have
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: held off Bananaama.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: He should have. But that was a very like catchy song.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: It was it was it was a it was a
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: cover from the sixties. Yeah, it was a novelty. So
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: I think that's what happened there.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would have. I would have rather old Steve
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: of course hold hold them off, but hold them off,
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: but he didn't. He did not, So stuff that Bananaama
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: in your tailpipe? WHOA Okay? So anything else you have
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: to say about Steve Winwood and higher love, think about it.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: There must be higher love.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: I just like Steve Winwood. His songs are very quintessential
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: eighties and it just can really take you back.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely that that song would probably go on like
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: my happy list, write songs that make me happy.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Give you all the feels, Yeah for sure.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: All right, nineteen eighty seven. I'm really wondering if you've
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: heard this song before, but I bet you'll recognize the
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: artist Jump.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: Another Father Band Jumping through the Knee by step High,
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: step by Step the bladder. So the only song, the
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: only step by step song I know, is by New
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Kids on the Block.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: Well, this song actually isn't called step by Step, but
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: you'd think it would be right right. This song is
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: called Jacob's Ladder. And this is Hughey and this is
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: Huey Lewis and the News. And this was on their
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: album four, which I owned and I man I in
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighty seven. I can tell you I carried it
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: around my boombox and I played four like we would
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: all meet with friends and either play wiffleball or baseball.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: And I was always blasting this album because this had
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: doing it all for my baby and stuck with you
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: Jacob's Ladder. So what does your gut tell you about
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: Jacob's Ladder?
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: This is nineteen eighty seven, This is nineteen seven. My god,
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: says Huey Lewis can never go wrong. Okay, But yet
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know this song. I've never heard this song,
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: but I'm going to say that, yes, it did go
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: to number one, yet it was only there for a
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: very short time.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're excited for.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: You because they were nervous.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: Because you got your three that you needed, and you
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: still have a chance to go fifty to fifty because
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: we've still got two more songs left. So you've never
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: heard that song? What did you think about what you
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: heard there? Just with the little chorus? I mean it
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: was Okay, it's different from other Huey Lewis songs.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, definitely him, obviously he has a distinctive voice, right,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: but it's not something that I feel the need to
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: go listen to again.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: So I love that song, really, yes, I do. I
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: love that song because it is different sounding than other
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: Huey Lewis songs. Okay, and so yeah, I love that song.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: It was a number one hit, and you are correct.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: It was a number one hit for just one week
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: on Pie Day in nineteen eighty seven Pie Day Pie Day.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: It replaced Living on a Prayer Wow, which had held
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: the spot for four weeks, the top spot for four weeks,
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: and then it was replaced by lean On Me by
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: Club Nouveau.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: Oh gosh, Okay, Yeah.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: I probably go with Hugheye over.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: But again I think lean on Me is a lot
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: like Banana Rama. Yeah.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: Again, it was a cover.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just a novelty.
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, well, I like that novelty analogy that you
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: have there.
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: You.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, I've talked before about going to church camp
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: in the summer and we would sing the Lean on
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: Me song and we had the all the different hand
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: motions and stuff.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, So this next song, I know you're going
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: to recognize and I know that you love it, so
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: I'm hoping that you get it right. God Jesus, I'm
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: sitting here doing the dance. I'm doing the dance that
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: those women we're doing this in the video.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: I love Robert Palmer.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: You know, I think Robert Palmer doesn't get enough credit.
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's just in my mind. I don't know, but
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: I'd like to know from the audience there. I don't
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: feel like he gets enough credit for like how much
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: his song's actually rocky, like rock like up there with
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: like hairbands, hair band sound.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: He does not get enough credit. Yeah, but the he
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: rocks out and I loved his suits and his ties,
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: like it's pretty cool, dude.
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: When we got to guests on my Weekly mixtape with
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: Brian Coleburn, you shows that we were choosing iconic eighties
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: videos MTV videos, and that song was one of the
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: songs that you chose to be on that mixtape playlist?
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: So why don't you tell me a little bit about
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: that video before I get to your incorrect guess?
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: So, the women in the video look extremely tall and thin. Yes,
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: he's got the eighty suit on, and so he's mister cool,
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: I guess.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but he's got that powerful You've got a
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: super powerful voice.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, deep voice. And so the women are behind him
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: and they do this weird little dance in unison together.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: And they're all dressed the same.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: They're dressed the same. Is this the one where they've
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: got on the tight black dress?
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: I think so? Yeah?
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: And then they even play instruments, which is kind of
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: cool to you.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: It is kind of cool. All right, So I need
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: to know in nineteen eighty eight, did mister powerful Robert
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: Palmer hit number one was simply irresistible or not?
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I'll tell you what my gut says.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: What does your gut say?
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: So?
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, So first of all, I feel so I've got
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: I want to talk this through. Okay, can we talk it? Oh? Yeah, absolutely,
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: my gut says it did not. Okay, my heart says
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: that it really should have Okay, So do I listen
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: to my gut or my heart?
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Usually you listen to your gut because
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: you have chrones.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: Well, true, I listen. I've ignored it a couple of times,
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: and boy, I pay for that.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: You do.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say it.
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: Did not.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: That is correct? Oh my goodness.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: Finally, yeah, this song did not hit number one, but
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: why it peaked at number two and it was there
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: for two weeks.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: If it didn't hit number one, what in the world
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: held it off.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: For two weeks at number one the same two weeks
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: that Simply Irresistible was number two? Was Sweet Child of
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: Mind Like some roses.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: It just had the unfortunate yeah timing of being in
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: there with one of the greatest rock songs of all
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: time and.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: They couldn't re release it later on, Like seriously, it's
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: like crush.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: No, it's almost like once it gets its play like
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: someone done. Yeah, yeah, it's done. So all right, Well
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: you are four for nine. Okay, so you've got like
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: the Ted Williams batting average even if you missed this one,
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: which Ted is great. Good Yeah, tell Ted, No, Ted
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: Williams was great. Okay, but you could go fifty percent,
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: so better than Ryan Klusko. You are certainly better than
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: Ryan Klusko. All right. Our last song from nineteen eighty nine,
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: and my mind doesn't hold a candle to the other
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: songs that we've played here, but I think you'll recognize
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: it for sure.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: Is that Taylor Dame.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: That is Taylor Dane.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: Talk about a big old voice with.
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: Don't rush me. Yes, she did. She was maybe the
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: female rabbet Palmer. She might be again, doesn't get enough
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: credit for that powerful voice. But yeah, she certainly did
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: have a powerful voice, and she had she had some
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: hits in the eighties. So do you like this song?
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: I saw you kind of singing it or modeling it.
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: You weren't really singing it.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: But this song's okay. I like to poke fun at
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: Taylor Dane. Why something about the way.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: Is it because her middle name is great, Oh my gosh.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: Taylor great Dane. Something about the way she sings I
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: always thought was a little funny, And I don't. I
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: don't really like this song. Okay, I'm sorry, fair enough.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: I mean this, out of the ten songs that we've played,
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: this is certainly my least favorite.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, can I take a stab at it?
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: You can take a stab at whether you got it
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: right or wrong. I think this did reach number one?
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: Ong wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong wrong wrong, You're long,
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: You're long, You're.
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: All see now you gotta admit you you kind of
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: got that wrong just because you wanted to hear doctor
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: Cox one more time.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: No, I really thought that hit.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: Number one, all right? So it peaked at number two,
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: so it wasn't far off. It peaked at number two
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: on January twenty first of nineteen and eighty nine. It
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: was held off of the top spot by two Hearts,
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: by your buddy.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: Phil Collins, of course.
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: Beating in just one time. Not with old Taylor though, No,
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: no one held Taylor off, so.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: It deserved too.
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah, but you know it's not
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: like I asked you, like, did pac Man Fever hit
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: number one and you missed it?
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: Like these were songs that were so close, okay, right,
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: so close to them or what a little bit. So
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: really it's just a fifty to fifty chance. It's flipping
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: a coin, right, And sometimes when you flip a coin
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: ten times, you're gonna get head six and tails four.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: It's not always going to be five and five. Yeah,
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: So I don't look at it as like you failed.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: I just didn't win.
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: You just too many times you were.
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, You're wrong, You're wrong,
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: You're wrong.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: You just like to play that. I do.
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: I do. I love Perry Cox.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: Well, I feel like it's correct, bad, he's correct. I
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: feel like I may have let a lot of people down,
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: but I did the best I could with what I
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: had to work with. And hopefully people enjoyed playing along
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: at home.
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: You know, I was gonna say, I'd like to rewind
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: and go back to the beginning and be like, play
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: along at home and see how many you get, right.
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: So hopefully they did that, and we'll see, you know,
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: if I'm sure if enough people play, somebody's gonna beat you.
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, if they woke up, they probably beat me.
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: We'll do this again. Though this was kind of fun.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: Maybe you could take this book and you could do
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: this for me. But I kind of like the game
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: that we play, you and I, where you just play
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: the song and I got to guess the song and
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: the artist and that's fun and stuff like that. Every
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: now and then we got to play some games on
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: this show and him a little.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: Bit, because we like to do that at home. It's
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: always been kind of our thing at home.
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: In eighties was a big gaming decade anyway, right through
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: video games, board games, whatever. So I gotta know, how
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: do you feel about how you did?
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: I'm a little ashamed.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: I don't think you need to be a shame.
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: Some of those we're a little tough. Yes, I think
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: they could have gone either way. You know, it's how
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: I was feeling, and I just my gut was off
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: a little bit today, so I understand. You know probably
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: that crones propha boy.
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: Well, if you enjoyed today's episode, we would love it
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: if you would give us a five star rating and review.
• 51:10
