• 0:18
  Speaker 1: compact disc player. I didn't get one when they came out,

• 1:04
  Speaker 1: a lot of money back then.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: But you think people were running to the stores to
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: get one? I don't know if people knew that technology
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: was there yet or if it was just going to
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: be a thing.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Isn't it like today, like if you

  Speaker 2: want the latest tech, if that's what you're into?
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I had a buddy of mine put a DAT player
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: in his car because he thought DAT players were going
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: to take over the world.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: I thought DATs were only in radio.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Pretty much you only ended up in radio. Yeah.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: That's like the only time I heard of it was

  Speaker 2: Because I loved.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Did you like all the Police stuff too?

  Speaker 2: I was more into Sting.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: When he went solo?
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: When he went solo. I told you Dream of the

  Speaker 2: Blue Turtles was like, for me, life-changing.

  Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll be back.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I should let him know I need to go see
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: him again. I saw him many times in concert. And
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: he's such a great guy.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, you could tell. We interviewed him not
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: too long ago.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: With Shaggy.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: With Shaggy. Yeah. And you could tell he's answered some
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: of these questions a million times, but he still does
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: it with poise, kindness, and tells a good story.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: And he's really good because I think he puts up
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: with my fangirlness. Yeah, you're a true fan. Because that
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: tends to come out when he's around.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: He's a good looking dude.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Of course he is. Yeah. Yeah.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: So anyway, October 1st, first CD player went on sale.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: And by the way, happy birthday to Walt Disney World.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: It was October 1st, 1971. that Walt Disney World opened
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: in Florida. Oh, that's a happy day. And producer Kristen
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: wasn't born yet, but her spirit was in line. Yes.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Waiting to be born, to be there, 55 years old.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: She was in Disney baby heaven waiting to come here.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I wonder what the price of a season pass was
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: back then. Because now an annual pass, I believe, is
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: a grand? No, or higher. How much? $ 1, 600. $ 1, 600 for
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: an annual pass to Disney. Because some people that live
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: in the New York area still buy the annual because
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: they get down there so much with the kids. It
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: pays for itself.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You've got to go a lot of trips.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: A lot of trips. Yeah. Then the airfare adds up.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: There's that.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: All right. So that's what's going on on this October 1st.
