SPEAKER_07 0:01

I want to just say that. I I like the way you counted down before three too much, excuse me.

SPEAKER_01 0:08

Hey, Dave, I'm a lady. The people at home can't know that I burnt, but yes, that is what happened before we got on the mic. Yeah. I had a human reaction to my soda.

SPEAKER_07 0:18

We won't talk about other lady uh body functions. No.

SPEAKER_01 0:23

But that is something, had you not said anything, would have been unrecognized, uh uh obscure. Obscure maybe tweet.

SPEAKER_07 0:34

I'm gonna download that. Uh I'm gonna download the side.

SPEAKER_01 0:36

I'll play it whenever I make a good segment. Uh yeah, we're doing 80s obscure hits. Well hits used loosely, like there are good songs that could have been hits, but no one really heard them.

SPEAKER_07 0:47

They never made it on the charts, right? Or they didn't make the top for anything.

SPEAKER_01 0:51

Yeah, and didn't get on the charts. Some of them previously unreleased uh songs like B-sides, doubled double B-sides.

SPEAKER_07 0:59

Yeah. Well, this was G O J's suggestion. No, George, you don't get the hundred bucks. And we'll talk more about that going forward, how you can get a hundred dollars.

SPEAKER_01 1:09

Yes. I'll okay, here's the opening final. Oh, yeah, let's do it. The people have all been waiting.

SPEAKER_06 1:18

Showers, flowers, and then, hmm. Oh, I don't know. What I do know, the one constant, Randon David on K SJE. It's the wake-up call. Grab a beverage, turn it up, sit back, and let's let them do it to it.

SPEAKER_04 1:58

So I've got to make it to the boy, just like that.

SPEAKER_01 5:08

That was John Mellencamp.

SPEAKER_07 5:10

I love me some John Mellencamp, and I'm gonna tell you right now that was obscure because I never heard that song, and I loved Mellencamp.

SPEAKER_01 5:17

I have never heard that song either. I've only ever heard his biggest hits that you hear all over the radio. But that sounds like that almost should have been a John Mellencamp classic.

SPEAKER_07 5:27

I I think so too. K SJ E, and I've got my bomb diggity, Fren Red.

SPEAKER_01 5:35

Oh, yeah, and my Baudacious Buddy Dave. Are those 80 slings? I don't know. I picked them out, uh, but I'm not from the 80s.

SPEAKER_07 5:43

You tell us, we'll be more than happy.

SPEAKER_01 5:46

Yeah, and then send me your own personal list of 80 slings.

SPEAKER_07 5:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:49

But we are celebrating the 80s today. This is a really fun playlist made by G OJ, George of the Jungle, our announcer. And it's doing kind of double duty. It's songs that represent the 80s, very much the music of the time. Also, like we said in the first half being obscure. Not not super well known.

SPEAKER_07 6:07

I know he sent us the list and he sent them what you thought in order that he wanted them to play. And I told him when he made the list, I said, George, just send it. And she'll play it. She's in charge. She'll be taking care of the order.

SPEAKER_01 6:21

I hope it's okay that it's out of order, George, if you're listening.

SPEAKER_07 6:24

Um try to say with kind of a theme.

SPEAKER_01 6:28

I I know, and that's well, that's what I thought was good about all the songs. You can put them in any order and they're gonna sound good. It's just, I'm very specific about the timing. The timing is everything for me, so I just switched up the timing.

SPEAKER_07 6:38

Well, here it is, April 12th, three days away from how it is.

SPEAKER_01 6:49

You better uh get get on there. I always think of that. I've said it every year. Um it's the Simpsons joke where they're at the IRS office, everybody's in line pushing and shoving, the they're doing a news report on it. Kent Brockman, the news anchor, goes up to Krusty the Clown and says, Sir, you waited until the last minute to file your taxes. Why? And Krusty goes, 'Cause I'm an idiot. All right.

SPEAKER_07 7:13

Well, typically, the people who wait the last minute are those people that have to pay. Those folks. Yeah, the folks that get money back usually are filing.

SPEAKER_01 7:28

Yes. I I waited, but that's just because I don't like doing all the paperwork. It stresses me out, man. But uh I did it. I always just do it on online. You know, one of those services.

SPEAKER_07 7:39

Yeah, I use that free tax. Free tax USA, I think it's called. Oh, that's a good one. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:43

I use I use another one. We won't give them any plugs. We won't give them any plugs, but they're super easy. Uh so if you've waited until the last minute, don't delay anymore. Don't get yourself into any trouble. You don't need to be in the city.

SPEAKER_07 7:57

Yeah, but 30 is no, let's see. 24 times three is what never mind. You have three days.

SPEAKER_01 8:01

You have some time.

SPEAKER_07 8:03

That's right.

SPEAKER_01 8:03

Is it 72? Three days.

SPEAKER_07 8:05

Three days.

SPEAKER_01 8:06

24, 48, 72. Yes. Okay, you have 72 hours. The clock is ticking. And so is this great playlist. I have to teach math sometimes to kids. I'm more of an English teacher, but sometimes there's no one else there to teach them math. So I gotta get kind of okay at it.

SPEAKER_07 8:24

I still count on my fingers and toes. If it's over 20, I can't. I'm in trouble.

SPEAKER_01 8:29

It just doesn't even exist to you. The concept doesn't exist. Alright. Well, I am trying to get us back into the music because this is a pretty good playlist. It's um jam-packed.

SPEAKER_07 8:39

Oh, we're gonna have David E's. We're gonna have Renlish.

SPEAKER_07 17:35

You know, I that was interesting um because I first thought that was blondie, but uh I could see that.

SPEAKER_01 17:41

You know, and the more I listen to later Blondie almost.

SPEAKER_07 17:44

Uh the more I listened to it, the more I realized uh and when you told me, I was like, oh yeah, that's yeah, I remember that extinct distinctly.

SPEAKER_01 17:51

That's the premier Madonna sound. Yeah, like her very early work.

SPEAKER_07 17:57

With the with the fingerless gloves and the bow look and that kind of thing.

SPEAKER_01 18:01

The boustier. And that was uh Jimmy Jimmy, if you didn't hear them say it a thousand times. It was a good song, it was a cute song.

SPEAKER_07 18:09

It was a cute song, very good.

SPEAKER_01 18:11

And I think it is pretty characteristic of the eighties, which is what this show is kind of about. Classic eighties music. And if you didn't know, what's neat about the eighties is that uh it lasted for about ten years.

SPEAKER_07 18:25

I wonder where you were going with that.

SPEAKER_01 18:28

And if you didn't know, it started some say it started in 1980, but then went all the way to 1989. So that's some fun eighties back for you.

SPEAKER_07 18:40

I think we should just go to Renlers again. I have no words. No, no, no, no words.

SPEAKER_06 18:47

It appears to be Ren's turn for her own special word. Ls and G's, I present Renlish.

SPEAKER_01 18:53

Ls and G's! And I'm having a G indeed, but that's not why we're here. Why we're here is I've got some slang, some 80s slang.

SPEAKER_07 19:01

Okay. What?

SPEAKER_01 19:06

Gia. Gia. It means uh indeed, indubitably. Indubitably, yeah, as in Gia. That definitely leopard album totally rocks, dude. Indubitably.

SPEAKER_07 19:19

I would really say indubitably.

SPEAKER_01 19:24

It's a whole lifestyle, Dave. I don't think you're about that life.

SPEAKER_07 19:26

You just don't know. No, no. I'm more of a fall kind of guy.

SPEAKER_01 19:32

Oh, fair enough. Fair enough.

SPEAKER_07 19:34

Let me give it an intro for that. What song do you uh hype you up? What's your uh what do we think? Your walk up song. Send that to us.

SPEAKER_01 20:30

I like to think of it two ways. The song that plays as you walk up onto the stage, or B the song that you play to get the confidence to walk up, to do something.

SPEAKER_07 20:38

To do something, yeah, your walk-up song. So send it to us. Uh.com, all one word, all over the case.

SPEAKER_01 20:45

Um but we're gonna give her a hundred, but our other buddy when we play the show, but then our other buddy has done it twice. And so going forward, the first time, you get a hundred if we use your show, but after that we'll just send you some swag.

SPEAKER_07 34:16

I do not, do you?

SPEAKER_01 34:17

I do. It sounds like the setup to a joke, but no, this is what I heard back when he had his band the E Street Man. Very early on in the day, uh in the days of their band starting, when they would do games, he would handle all of the money. He would handle the book, he would handle all of the business aspects of running the band, so he wasn't even talking about the E Street Man included.

SPEAKER_07 34:54

You know what? That's really a bad idea. Oh, the saxophone is kind of like nothing like that.

SPEAKER_01 35:02

Fresh. My fresh friend.

SPEAKER_01 35:34

And here I've got an alliteration, my fly, buddy.

SPEAKER_07 35:36

There we go. That means that I'm kind of irritating because I'm like, you know what?

SPEAKER_01 35:41

Like a fly.

SPEAKER_07 35:47

That's right.

SPEAKER_01 35:47

I am the definition of it.

SPEAKER_07 35:50

I'm currently not flying, but I will be after we close the show.

SPEAKER_01 35:53

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You'll be way up there. That's right. You get high with a little help from your friends, of course. From me. And uh we're celebrating the 80s today. Um obscure 80s hit some of the lesser-known songs from fans and artists you most definitely know, but some of some of their V-side.

SPEAKER_07 36:13

Some of you probably haven't heard of these songs so far. I have not heard. I do recognize some of the artists when they start playing some of them a little bit. And you know what? I was gonna say to you before I forget, you know, we've got to forget that we call it a bit. We have to get the young lady to do that. That would be a free sweet card. No bigger than a minute. I know her very well. Um yeah, we can see the great.

SPEAKER_01 37:12

They know that they're doing artwork. And they want to be making it.

SPEAKER_07 37:16

Yeah. He had a couple of nice words to say.

SPEAKER_01 37:38

That's so good. I love physical storytelling like that.

SPEAKER_07 37:40

And then, of course, uh down below that, right in the tail, is an adolescent dragon, which is her baby dragon.

SPEAKER_01 37:46

Her baby dragon movie.

SPEAKER_07 37:48

Yeah, both can't have to be not old enough yet to love flame, but he's gonna be like a little bit of fun. So I have a whole theme going with my cat.

SPEAKER_01 37:56

That's fun, like medieval fantasy stuff. I love that.

SPEAKER_07 38:00

But you know, I tell you, another part of that, and I don't know whether it was an 80s thing or not for tattoos. Um, but you have a female on your arm as well. Yes. That is the top half of the street.

SPEAKER_01 38:12

I like to say she's my very liberal mermaid.

SPEAKER_07 38:14

Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 38:15

She was burning her bra at the feminist march, and so she's very free, is what I'll say.

SPEAKER_07 38:21

So what I'm thinking about on my forearm on the other side is getting something like a.

SPEAKER_01 38:30

You can get a harpy or a pretty harpy lady, you know, they got the bird wings and the claws. But they're also beautiful women.

SPEAKER_07 38:39

Yeah, with movies.

SPEAKER_01 38:41

Yeah. And we've come to the most important part of the movie. There you go. Alright. Well, I think that's my uh my cue to play another song.

SPEAKER_07 38:51

Yeah, we got coming up, we got uh David's.

SPEAKER_01 38:54

Yeah, we do. And this is Maybe Maybe uh by Aha, which you probably know for Take On Me. Oh, yeah. Take on this song.

SPEAKER_04 39:06

Maybe you are joking when you said that you are walking out on me. Lady Lakes. I should be running, start around I could be running, start around I could be run I don't know what it's being said. Decisions travel from header was over when you jump me out of the road and between paper, I could be around, stop I could be wrong, stop I could be wrong, stop I could be around I could be right I could be right, so I could be running I could be running so I could be running so I could be running so he's always had his own language.

SPEAKER_06 41:38

Ren and I like to humor him.

SPEAKER_07 41:40

Here's David Knees. All right, are you ready for this? Petophobic. Petophobic, that's one who is embarrassed to undress in front of a household pet. Petophobic.

SPEAKER_01 41:51

Petophobic, okay.

SPEAKER_04 42:12

My memory's just fake too when nothing could you My decision went to last. Now there's nothing left to hide. I just got punished by too many times If you should go if you should go If you should go this works for her You should be to my senses When lies drunk in Trump There's no time, me to moment me tell me still Now there's nothing left to try. I just feel gonna be too many times if you should go if you should go if you should go Now there's nothing left to unistreat too many times It makes no difference by doing your mistake We think the same scene would take Andy If you should go so If you should go If you should go to the Cogs Both Well Dave that was Heart for Hire by Swing Out Sister, and before that was Maybe Baby by A Ha.

SPEAKER_07 46:21

He's trying to be an 80s DJ, isn't it?

SPEAKER_00 46:23

Trying to be an 80s DJ, Dave. That's me, Ren. Ren on the spot, as they call me. Next up is Wax with Systematic.

SPEAKER_07 46:32

Oh, I can hardly wait.

SPEAKER_00 46:34

Obscure 80s coming at you, baby. Yeah, enjoy it.

unknown 47:46

Don't want to do this today.

SPEAKER_04 47:53

What we don't do, step I'm on the way to them, and now my wheels are spinning around, mid-round, little round, little round. I'm all the way spinning around the day when do you see things out of the way to do that?

SPEAKER_06 50:43

Oh, the wake-up call is almost over for another week. And it's time to get your Zen on with the Zen of Rand.

SPEAKER_01 50:54

So we kind of dealt with the idea of like forgotten music today. Maybe not even forgotten, but just not super remembered until you hear it. So here's a quote from Maggie Skype Vader. I think that's amazing. You're like a song that I heard when I was a little kid. And I knew that. You're like a song that I heard when I was a little kid. I knew until I heard it again. You don't like your wife.

SPEAKER_07 51:59

I mean, really hard on the radio on the radio. Anyway, we use the camera. We can't believe he's talking about you like that. And so we would go to your office parties and then give me crap.

SPEAKER_01 52:40

It was just okay. She clearly was okay with it.

SPEAKER_07 52:47

She wasn't okay with it.

SPEAKER_01 52:49

She secretly was holding her. Well, I think that's something that's nice too. Like baby boomers. There's that stereotype that they make jokes about how much they hate their wife or how they hold them. And same with the women, they make jokes about how they hate their husband. But you know, you could say that that's maybe because that generation was raised to believe that once you get married, that's it, you have a divorce. And so they would stay in relationships that were unfulfilling, you know, longer than they should have. So I think it's healthy anytime you can recognize, hey, me and this person aren't working out anymore.

SPEAKER_07 53:24

Well, we're still good friends to this day. So, you know, if you're the mother of two of my kids, I just always have a piece of my heart. That's all right.

SPEAKER_01 53:32

And she always has a piece of radio legacy, you know.

SPEAKER_07 53:45

With my stellar friend Rand.

SPEAKER_01 53:47

And my trippin' buddy day.

SPEAKER_07 53:49

I also want to call you my most triumphant friend Rand.

SPEAKER_01 53:51

Oh, thank you. And my and I mean this in a good way, my dad buddy day.

SPEAKER_07 53:55

Or my do my doodad friend.

SPEAKER_01 53:58

And you know what? I've even got one more for you, my rad. We got all the words in the world. And it's been a fun show. We were celebrating the 80s obscure 80s specifically.

SPEAKER_07 54:09

Obscure 80s, thanks to G Oj. Thank you, George.

SPEAKER_01 54:12

G OJ, this was a fantastic playlist. Thank you for letting me rearrange it. I think I got one more song for it here. It's a pretty classic 80s, like sad boy band. Um, but I think I think they're really good. This is the Smiths. Well, not all of them. I mean, you got Deaf Lemon.

SPEAKER_07 54:32

Oh, boy bands.

SPEAKER_01 54:32

They were a boy band, technically, if you think about it.

SPEAKER_07 54:35

I take it back.

SPEAKER_01 54:36

Well, this is the Smiths with Ask.

SPEAKER_07 54:38

The Smiths?

SPEAKER_01 54:40

The Smiths.

SPEAKER_07 54:40

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 54:41
