This week on Once Upon a Time in Music, it’s a full house as L and Cheryl Poison welcome two dope guests to the couch — DJ High Star from the Mandatory Overtime Podcast and returning favorite B Easy from the DJ Blaze Radio Show Podcast.

The episode kicks off with laughs, wild introductions, and a whole lot of cousin energy before getting into the main topic: “Do You Remember?” — a fun ride through childhood memories that today’s generation might not even understand. From Wendy’s salad bars, the Club car lock, free nights & weekends, My Buddy/Kid Sister toys, basement parties, rotary phones, and TV signing off at night, to cassette tapes, recording songs off the radio, lightning bugs, Tamagotchis, the cable box clock, Nextel chirps, and hearing the ice cream man coming down the street… it’s pure nostalgia back-to-back.

Of course, it wouldn’t be the same without the Kiss/Marry/Kill segment going completely off the rails — with everything from classic celebs to hip-hop legends getting thrown into the mix.

The laughs keep rolling, the memories hit hard, and the chemistry is nonstop, making this one of those episodes you’ll be quoting all week. Tap in and vibe out — and make sure you check out Mandatory Overtime and the DJ Blaze Radio Show Podcast too

And uh it's like, nah, these is like two older cousins of mine, respectfully, respectfully, but I'm saying like um the music knowledge or whatever. And I think there was there may have been an episode, and Cheryl, you was just spitting. I just want to say it was an episode where you was, it was some, it was like an older song or something like that, and you were just spitting it like better than uh the rapper um of whatever song they was playing. I'm like, oh, I'm a homie. Protect hip hop. I'm a music lover, yeah. And I I think that I was I think I was bought into this earth to preserve hip hop culture, you know what I'm saying? So Cheryl Poison, me and you are here. Okay, sometimes L and his view, sometimes What do you mean? I'm just saying you could stray from protecting hip-hop, hip hop, I'm a boom bat, you know what I mean? Give me the the whole Drewski scheme.

SPEAKER_04:

Nah, you know what it was? A lot of times I'll be like, yeah, I gotta write it down. But I don't write it down. And sometimes I'll be like, yeah, I'll hit that nigga B and tell him. But I was like, nah, the B don't be how can I say it? Say it, say it with your chest. Nah, I'll say it for seven years from now.

SPEAKER_01:

Don't start that, please. Don't start that.

SPEAKER_04:

You know, you gotta put it in the vault. You gotta put it away. But um don't start that. All right, high star. You uh RB man or uh hip-hop guy? That's a hard one.

SPEAKER_02:

Queens from Queens.

SPEAKER_04:

Small little queens, right? Queens. Big Queens.

SPEAKER_02:

You gotta put some respect on that hip-hop, man. Hip hop? Hip hop, yeah. I remember seeing my first pair of techniques, uh, new marks, yeah. You know what I mean? Falling in love with the graffiti, all that, yeah. Okay, hip hop, New York hip hop.

SPEAKER_04:

All right, so since you said techniques, techniques or the new day and age of controllers.

SPEAKER_02:

I'm uh okay, well, first to answer your question, I'll say the new, the new technology rain, right? Um in a certain certain products for pioneer, whatever. But to take it a step further, I am analog over digital.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah?

SPEAKER_02:

Yes, I'm analog over digital as far as the energy that's in analog. Like it feels like certain records, it feels like, oh, I'm back in the lounge where they where they performed this at or the studio that they recorded it in. Like I could hear the cigarette smoke or something like that. You know what I mean? On the record. So I I like I love analog versus uh I never heard before, but I guess that's what it's like.

SPEAKER_04:

You know, um, I'm definitely I I think I'm digital. I started on techniques. One of those ones, your uncle wasn't doing it no more, they was in the house. Hey, can I get those? So then I started DJing on techniques. But once the new marks came out, yeah, oh my gosh. And now that the um was it the rain, the the rain twelves are out for the fullest size. If you into full-size vinyl or you started on full full-size vinyl, it's a different thing, man. And just to not have to walk around with crates, not to, you know, because I carry records before. I've you know, oh okay, the song is on the back end of this record. Oh, you accidentally put the record on the wrong side. I don't know your age, but no, I'm following you. Putting that vinyl on, you gotta make sure it's that right side when you, you know, in the middle of a transition.

SPEAKER_02:

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_04:

So that's where I started.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, and when that industry started to change with the CDJs and then go into the controllers and stuff like that, it's similar to like uh, I feel like it's similar to like AI, like the beginning, or any technology, if you will, Tesla, cyber trucks, anything. When it started off, it was like a lot of okay, one side of the controller will work and then the other side go out, or this and that, like all these issues and stuff. But now as the technology and stuff has got more sophisticated, you you see less and less troubleshooting issues with you know what I mean, with the controllers or whatever like that. Take care of them and keep them in the coffin or whatever like that.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah. That's dope, man. I could talk about DJ and stuff like that forever. Absolutely. B. Yo, what up, man?

SPEAKER_05:

That much. You gonna ask me what I think about I'm about to ask you something.

SPEAKER_04:

What you what you mean?

SPEAKER_05:

I know you don't care about the hip-hop. You care about the DJs? Oh yeah, I started out with CDJ 1000s, man. Not the CDJs, man. C DJ 1000s, them pioneer jones, man.

SPEAKER_04:

You know I skipped the CDJs? I didn't like them because carrying, I I I ain't gonna say carrying that booklet, but You mean the CD booklet?

SPEAKER_02:

But what if you see like if your CD's skipping either? That's the thing.

SPEAKER_05:

I have two. You have to make two of everything. Yeah, that's copies of CDs.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, that was my thing. Like, man, the CDs in my car scratch, so I know these shits are scratched. So I mean, that's the only the only reason I didn't do CDJs. CDJs was I loved it.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

RB or hip hop. Come on, man. Hip hop.

SPEAKER_05:

SPEAKER_04:

What do you mean? I don't know. I I find myself really listening to more hip hop than RB. I mean more RB than R. I was about to say more hip more RB than hip hop. Like I can sing a hip-hop song, but a RB song? I know them shit. Like new RB or old RB? Uh I'm gonna say I'ma say old. You know, cause some of the new stuff is cool, but I gotta get into it.

SPEAKER_02:

I was about to say, how in tune are you with the newer artists that are out there? There's a lot of new names.

Or if they was my my aunt or my uncle, if they were watching us, they'll take us over there while they playing cards, drinking, whatever now, and and doing that all basement stuff. But in that suburb out there in St. Albans, like all of them houses, they got basements or whatever like that. And like houses, like people um would host, you know what I'm saying? Family and friends down there in the basement.

SPEAKER_04:

All the time. The most dangerous parties ever.

Of course. That sounds traumatizing. Where's my mama? Just leave. Yeah. All right. Okay. All right, so where we at? Me? High star.

SPEAKER_02:

No, high star. Alright, so I didn't know which way to go with this because it'd be easy brought up toys, but I'm I just gotta stay with the classic rotary phones. Shout out to my great-grandmother. Rest in peace. But yeah, rotary phones, it took like 10 minutes to dial.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, that was crazy.

SPEAKER_02:

And I honestly, as a kid, I just used to play with the phones because like shows like Where in the World Is Carmen San Diego or different shows like that would have like that type of phone ringing or whatever. So I always would, you know what I mean, be playing around with the dial on the phone and stuff like that. Yeah, that's crazy, man. Yeah, shout out to the rotary phones, man.

SPEAKER_04:

That and and calling. Calling and somebody else was on the phone. The busy signal? Uh-huh. Oh, yeah. Okay, okay, okay. Oh my gosh. The busy signal? He called back over and over and over.

I stopped seeing them in the back of Cadillacs and Lincolns and stuff.

Um I feel like I'm missing one, but personally. Because the Miller, Miller Boyette, like the Miller Boyette production or whatever. Yeah, yeah. Because I be thinking in my head, after they cut one, doo-doo-doom. And they'd be like, cut. All right, y'all ready for the next one? Yeah, cue it up. Get ready to record the next one or whatever, like that. But um, yeah, it seemed like all of those Miller Boyette productions was T GIF'd out. Like they used the same guy to do the intros. They do, yeah. Yeah, it's crazy.

SPEAKER_04:

That was um, I remember that. You stayed in the house and watched all of them. Even the ones you didn't like, I think, you still watched them. Because you wanted to get up to family matters or something like that. Yeah. You did watch all of them. All right, you want to go around one more time?

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, I got one last one. Y'all might not know this, but in New York, you would get on the swings, and a guy would get like stand up. You would sit on the swing and a guy would stand. I don't know what they called it.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, he used to make you go.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh, like two people on it. Yeah, sitting at the same time.

SPEAKER_04:

So you was the girl?

SPEAKER_01:

SPEAKER_05:

That's the bit on the damn swing.

SPEAKER_01:

It's not really hard. It was a bit of a picture of the body.

SPEAKER_05:

When I did it, it was. Seven years in.

SPEAKER_01:

I wasn't looking at it as sexual the guy.

SPEAKER_04:

I probably was, but nah, it was dangerous because like, say this is the swing. Like the swing would come like parallel to the bar. You go all the way up. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And then sometimes that that the chain will kind of slack and come down to the bottom hard. Yeah, I remember doing that.

SPEAKER_02:

That um in them New York parks, the uh it's like a little half a globe thing that you climb on and stuff like that. I wonder what the purpose of that actually is. I mean, granted, climbing, but now that I look back at it, you know what I'm talking about? Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

You know what I'm talking about? Like, we used to call it like the pterodone. We used to be in there wrestling with that. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_02:

And I get uh honorary mention just because it's childhood, it's fresh air fund.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, I definitely was there.

SPEAKER_05:

Fresh air fund. I was definitely there.

SPEAKER_02:

So uh I think it was a nonprofit, more than likely, but you pretty much essentially take urban kids and you send them um to like Connecticut, New Jersey. It's just affluent places like New York.

SPEAKER_05:

Just New York shit. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02:

Like people from the city would get their kids sent out to Pennsylvania, these are whatever, different white families that would sponsor them more. I don't know if there was black families ever, but I always was with rich white families. You did it? And you for like two weeks in the summer, and then you come back.

SPEAKER_05:

Your family sponsored you yourself.

SPEAKER_04:

SPEAKER_02:

So the crazy thing, the crazy thing, real quick, is that the um a lot of fathers, black fathers, didn't like that shit. Yeah. Back then. They didn't like that shit. They'd be like, Well, you saying, like, you saying taking my kid away from what, the bad world to to give them a little bit of paradise for a couple weeks? Like, I could remember my pops arguing with my moms about it and shit. Yeah. I remember what does that make me look like as a as a protector or whatever, like that and a bravada?
