It's time to go one-on-one with D.P. Sponsored by the Downtown Lincoln Foundation on 93-7 The Ticket. Oh, yeah. I hate to tell you, but this music belongs in a room with velvet posters and a lava lamp. Yeah, that's my right. And fishnet on the...

Gone. sound stripe, which is what we use for our non-copyrighted music. I think one of the categories was in romance. It's part of its genre. Like this was, I'm just going to tell you, this is, this is the music we use in Simi Valley. This is, this is some music. We'll change that.

It's not what we were going for. All you need is some bouchick-a-wow going on for that music. That music is, is a crime scene waiting to happen. Is that the worst out of the new track so far? Oh, bro. That track, that bad right there is an absolute problem. That is an absolute problem. I, I had, I kept trying to think, okay, what does that sound like?

And then it just, it just, I was like, oh, no, this, this track went in a whole another deep base synthesized and all I could think was boucher wow and I went okay it doesn't sound like something I'd play in my I used to first car was a 97 beautiful saber yeah all velvet carpet

carpet interior velvet exterior velvet velvet velvet colored dashboard yeah it's got that vibe to it it it really did and I felt I had to catch myself because I was like wait a minute this is some this is some stuff right here. What are we, what are we doing?

So you, you, I gave you some music yesterday. Yeah, the eccentric. Yeah, the eccentric is just, uh, and fair enough, right? That's a, that's a, there's a good album. I listen to it all the way home. So there's, and there's three of them. So I'll send you the other ones. Okay.

That are, are just, you know, they're musicians. Uh-huh. These were, uh, these were the 80s and 90s, uh, rock bands. Um, and they're still around. I mean, like I said, they're touring, you know, they're all paid musicians, that sort of deal. So you like Dire Straits too? Were you a Dire Straits guy? Yeah, I mean, it was, they were, so back when the band was playing, and this is when, again, I had bars, you know, sports bars slash nightclubs.

And as a big kind of added value, and it's the thing that it isn't done much here, at least I'm not familiar with. but we would have bands, live music, on like Monday, Tuesday, or Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Yeah. This is before Thursday night football was a thing. So to kind of fill the bar on those nights, and there were some pretty stellar bands that we would have, especially local bands, people that would draw a couple hundred people on an off weeknight.

And then sometimes on the weekends, right, on a Saturday night, if let's say the local team was playing during football season, you know, football season and your team was playing early in the day, you could book the band for a Saturday night and they would play. And then it ended up being where you just, you did it seven nights a week. And the games were Saturday day and Sunday day, and you didn't have to really cross over.

And then they started doing Sunday night games. And of course, Monday night took over. But there were bands that we would have. there was a time, and I don't know if I've ever told you this story, but one of the bars transitioned into ownership, and in the transition, they wanted, they had European owners who wanted Spanish music. But they didn't want Spanish music.

They wanted Latino music. Right, specific, right? That it was drawing an entire community of folks. So imagine that I would spend three nights a week listening to Latin music. And this was in the boom of, you know, the time was Ricky Martin, but it wasn't Ricky Martin. Very aesthetic kind of fitting in the mold. Gypsy Kings. Who's the balladee?

that married J-Lo. Duckline? Backline, maybe help us out? I don't know who you're going to. I could use the Google machine too. Yeah, well, he may, yeah, it won't be hard to find. Yeah. And so I had to learn to salsa and meringue,

I had to learn all the different dances. Yeah, he was one of the, I don't know how many times, John, Mark Anthony, thank you, ma'amay. I was like going through us. Like, that's a lot of dudes. Yeah, Mark Anthony. Yeah. Hey,

that's a list, right? I'm sorry. Shout out to JLo. I didn't want to start just like listing all the names. Shout out of having a roster. You can do a Mount Rushmore with that list. Right. There's some people like the joke,

the social media joke is to go through Derek Jeter's roster. Right? But there's certain people that have rosters. Jack Nicholson has a roster. Ben Affleck has a roster. As a matter of fact, it's the great, you know, the Kardashian roster. There are folks who had a roster.

And yeah, J-Lo had a roster. I'm not hitting on it. I do you, man. Live your life. That's what we're doing. But in that era, so I had to learn the language. I had to learn the culture and then because you would have people come in. And I would end up, and I was running the place, but I would end up being dragged

on the floor. There'd be some woman that would say, come dance with me. You had to learn to dance the way they danced rather than the way that I dance. and so culturally for the record that Latin dances from the waist down. It's a lot of hit movement. Black culture dancing is from the waist up. White guy dancing? Don't move.

Use your hands. Use your hands in your arms. Your hands in your arms, man. I'm thinking of the weddings that's been to. It's pretty on par. Right. You use your hands in your arms, man. Point, point, finger point.

wing wave. There was, I forget who the comedian was, but he told the joke and I have never left it. But there was actually a female friend of mine here, and she was describing her and her friends dancing, and they had recorded, they'd gone like a bachelor's party, and they'd gone dancing. And all I could think of was, man,

it is a whole room filled with women who were just punching ghosts. They're punching ghosts. in the air. Like it's just it was like they were chasing angry ghosts like with their fists. But if everyone's punching ghost around you, you feel like you pretty good. Well, that was that's what it looked like. That's really what it looked like was just punching and kicking ghost. And so just think, you know, Elaine Benis, uh, Seinfeld. It was just punching and kicking ghost. And it was just and I've never been able to live it down. Like I just couldn't forget it. I've seen it so I can never unsee it.

That's fair. I could never unsee it. Are you, are you, would you consider yourself a dancer? What do you think? I make, I don't want to make an assumption. Well, I appreciate you not wanting to. I don't want to make. Although the assumption, it was a very simple one thing connection.

Well, you know, you, okay. So this is why we can never plan a show because we go down, you and I go down 48 rabbit holes. So the movie Footloose. Yeah, Tina. Footloose. Okay. So I had to remember how funny I thought the movie was because I was like, wait a minute. They're trying to find white people who can dance.

And they portrayed it as the Midwest. So he moves to a Midwest house. So it's Kevin Bacon, the original footloops. Yeah. But it's Kevin Bacon, who's from. Chicago. So he's, you know, he's a rebel. He has a, he has a skinny tie on Chicago was the city at right. Like he's a skinny. He has a skinny tie. You know, this is the guy that put his collar up. You know, he, he was a bad boy. And he listened to Kenny Loggins. That was that was the measuring stick.

And I'll be more you look into the plot of that movie. Come to the Midwest. Oh, a bunch of sick dancing. Oh, bro. That you, in identifying the rebel, and this is when he got in trouble for playing music, that it was Howard Hewitt and dancing in the streets. Howard Hewitt from Shalimar in the most unsolful song he ever created. It was dancing in the streets. And that's the song that, like, the minister, John Lithgow, walked into a fast food place and they were the kids were just jamming right but it had to be on a tape

on a cassette tape that it was secret like this was a bootleg tape that somebody had had either paid for over that had Kenny Loggins I think of like what would the equivalent of that the day be um if they were rebelling and it was Taylor Swift I was going to say like oh like I got this hidden gem Harry who's the guy the British. Uh, that's the show me is the act. Harry Styles.

Yeah. Like that's what I would imagine. Yeah. That's what I would. That's what I would imagine is that that I mean, think about it. The often rebels, uh, that Justin Timberlake was considered a rebel.

Yeah. Justin Timberlake. Justin Timberlake. Who that. Ooh, that Justin Timberlake. That you watch out for that. Wow. That Justin Timberlake was who, ooh, he was out there with the Jackson's and whatnot.

He was. So in the Midwest, it was just, and then, so you had the, and you had the other pen brother. Which one was that? So not Sean Penn, but there's another, there's another pen brother who's an actor. And he played the bumpkin, right, the country bumpkin who Kevin, who, Kevin, who, Kevin Bacon was going to teach how to dance. Now, mind you, he never did it. He just taught him to stop less.

No, it was a guy. Different pen. That's hilarious. Chris Pins. Oh, there you go. That is hilarious. You guys are the text line. He goes, yeah, it's kind of PIN.

No. No, not to see. Not related. But then it's, so it's, it's, it's, it's, Lori Petty, no, not Lori Petty, Lori Singer. Lawy said you're different, different Lori. Lori Petty was, uh,

League of Roe. Laurie Singer was considered, yeah, he moved from Chicago to Beaumont, Texas. So, but again, in the, in the, some of the promotions. they were just thinking Midwest. Yeah, I thought it was a Midwest film, to be totally honest. Well, because you had farms and, you know, tractors.

You don't think, again, what you think in the rest of the country. So he moves to Beaumont, Texas, and he just, he feels out of place. But he finds the preacher's daughter and the preacher's daughter. Y'all keep giving preachers' daughters a bad name, man. Y'all keep doing it. You keep putting them in movies going, ooh, that's a preacher's daughter. Oh, that means a thing. And she was the bad girl,

because you know how you could identify she was the bad girl? She wore red cowboy boots. The preacher's daughter. The preacher's daughter wore red cowboy boots. Oh, man. And then so, and then the girl from, there's a TV, I guess it was Sarah Mish, uh, uh, Jessica. Simpson? I don't know.

No. Oh my goodness. Now I have to pull up the roster of this thing. Next line might be spot on today too. Oh, there. It's been quick with it. The Sarah Jessica Parker is who I was thinking about. She plays the best friend, right? The rowdy sort of best friend.

And they never quite get it. They never, they never do. They never quite get it right. And then finally, you know, at the end of it, there's a dance scene. And then they bring in, um,

they bring in, that was in 1984. I forget. What was the turmoil on that? So Sarah Jessica Parker was, was the best friend. Chris Penn was, uh, Kevin Bacon's.

Uh, dying weist who on one of these, on one of, one of our shows, I'm just going to do a deal. deep guy for Diane Weiss. Okay. Because Dying Weiss,

there's no other way to say it. Diane Weiss rocked my world one night. I didn't know, like you would think Dian Weist who always plays like kind of a buttoned up. She was also in practical magic, but she was the preacher's wife in Footloose. And she was in a movie

that I was at the premiere at, and they had an after party. And this day, There's a DJ and dancing. And Diane Weist walked up to the table and said, dance with me. Now, first of all, it's dying waste. Even back then, it's Diane Weiss.

And I'm like, what is happening? And I was like, are you sure you want to dance with me? Like, you know, you're. She's a superstar at this point, right? I mean, you're, you're, she was looking at the movie. She's been a lot of big movies. Yeah, she's been in a ton of big movies.

Uh-huh. A lot of these in the, she was in parenthood in 89. Right. And she's all it was kind of impish, right? That she, you know, buttoned up and, but she, she was in practical magic with Nicole Kidman and Tendra Bullock. But you're at the dance party afterwards. And it's playing hip hop. They're playing hip hop.

And she's like, come dance with me. And I was just like, are you sure? You know, and it's kind of, you know, I didn't want to think. of her like his grandma because she wasn't that she wasn't that old but that's just kind of where my head went and we got on the dance for it and Diane Weiss broke it down

like she broke it down let me tell you she broke it down and I I was stunned I was like okay go ahead and shake it Diane Wee like go ahead go ahead with your bad self

now also that very night soccer chanting who Greece right you think Greece but still around she's also impractic magical matchless so she's there

and Doc Dain Wiese is dancing well here comes soccer channing who's like girl get out my way and sir I was like do not judge the book by the cover DEP stop it stop doing it because Diane Weiss broke it down and I went what is happening

Like, okay, enlighten it. Learn your lesson. So, yeah, it's, there's certain movies, Footloose is one of those. Help me out, what was the turmoil, like, what was the hurdle they had to overcome? The principal just not like him? I can't remember.

The preacher. That was it? Well, you're in a town, they were book, they were burning books and like, we never learned from our history. We never learned. We never learned 40 years ago. Burning books is stupid.

But we never learned, right? So that was the thing. They were burning books. And finally, John Luthgow, like, he's, like, I want to follow the gospel. But y'all are doing too much. Like, y'all are doing too much. Yeah, Rusty. Rusty, the best friend, Rusty.

That's so good. It's amazing. This is what our, our text line is so good. Like, they know, like, this was, they got him in trouble because he had a marijuana joint. Like, a guy was. trying to give him a marijuana because he seemed like he was cool enough for it, right? But then he got in trouble for it, like, because they threw it on him. Oh, yeah.

And it's the new school, right? So he's doing this. And one of the moments, the bonding moments is the challenge, right? Because there's always the bad guy, right? Who is Lori Singer's boyfriend. Mm-hmm. And he just didn't like the new guy. It's never the new guy, right?

You never like the new guy. And he challenges him to a chicken fight, but it's on tractors. It's been a while since I don't remember all the details of this. Brough. What kind of tractors? Two tractors, one lane, drive them as fast as you can towards each other.

of course the city boy had never driven a tractor so advantage bad guy except for kevin bacon's shoe gets caught on the pedal the shoe string gets caught around the pedal and he he can't back out he can't chicken out uh-huh and finally the bad guy veers off and ends up like in a like a pool of water uh and you know Kevin bacon wins and now he's the hero he's got he's got a way in and to tell you you the end of the seat and it's kind of what happens like dirty dancing bill and bannett you're right dirty dancing that if you go back in time and watch if you go back it's not like it was just on it's always on yeah you're dirty answer there's a we can do

an entire show of movies that are always on like i think you only have to wait a month to see your favorite movie now yeah back in i mean well you can always stream it now too but is like shawshank redemption it comes on all the time love that man Let me tell you how much y'all have, how wonderful y'all have it, because we had three channels where I was going, four, at a max, right? One of those is public access. But you had NBC, ABC, CBS. That was it. This was before Fox.

And that's all you got. Like, you got what they were showing. And you got like a movie the week, which was terrible, by the way. The movie the week was terrible. But you would get, but that's how you went and got, you found a Brian song. Because that was actually, that was, I don't think that was a. theater release. I think that was a made for TV movie if I'm not.

That was part of the fun for you guys. Like our generation's learning that everything and anything all the time isn't always great. Yeah. So let me think back to this. It was the ABC movie of the week. So imagine that one of the greatest movies ever made, well, a lot of them were never in movie theaters.

They were never. And here's the thing. Brian's song still stands up today. Like the football stands up today. The jokes stand up today. I feel like the old football movies stood better than the modern ones. Oh, again, I still challenge you. Go find, what's the,

about the Cowboys movie. Oh, North Dallas 40? You gave me that time in a long time ago. I've seen that one. I don't know which one you're referring to. No, North Dallas 40. There's a couple of Dallas. movie. Semi tough with Bert Reynolds and Mac Davis.

And who's the young lady? Just passed away a little bit ago. Oh, see, this is when I get old. And I'm trying to think of the movie that Plimpton was in, which was a Detroit Tigers, Detroit Lions football. Paper, paper or lion? Paper lion. or paper tiger.

Paper tiger. Where he's a writer who's covering the Detroit Lions, but he gets the idea, his editor gets the idea that he wants to send him to training camp to actually try out for the lions to know what you're talking about, to know what you're talking about. And they go in and it's got Limbarnie and Alice Caras and, you know, it's got the guys with the lions. and it's Alan Alda who's playing George Plumpton.

And it goes through all the jokes and the terribleness of it. And, you know, they mock him and pull pranks and the whole thing. But those are the ones that one, North Dallas 40, semi-tuff, which is more, less about football than North Dallas 40. North Dallas 40 with, and again, Mac Davis had a run. Mac Davis had a run because he was in both, he played, quarterback in both of those.

and North Dallas 40 epic. So the story goes that Peter Gent, who played for the Cowboys, wrote the screenplay. And this was in the era of Don Meredith,

Roger Stalback, Tom Landry. And he portrays, and he goes deep, man. And Tom Landry was not happy about the portrayal of the coaching this thing. He was not. a happy man he was you know and back then that was the thing but he was telling the story of all the things that go on away from the field um you know pain killers injections uh and again one of the one of my favorite movie scenes ever is the john matusac so john matusac plays except for in this one

matusac plays an offense one and they struggled but the coach is going after him and he said you know you don't study you know and he goes in and the scene and you have to bleep it. But it's him saying, the coach would say, well, you know, it's a business. He goes, man, I don't want to be in business. I want to play football. I want to play football. I don't want to be in business. And he goes, what, no, but this is, you know, he goes, every time we call it a game, you call it the business. Every time we call it the business, you call it a game. I was just like, there it, there it's bars. There, bars. Like, it's a full thing. So there's certain, movies along the way but the fact that brian song was was never a theater movie actually is sad

to me that that should have been that should have been a whole thing i don't know how he'd operated back in the day was the white guys can't jump was that in theaters that was the theaters okay a class railroad mat go to your go to your corner go to your corner go to your corner go to your corner go to the corner. Face the wall. What are you? I'm, you know what? Because here's the thing. I'm supposed to act like I don't know what that movie was that you just mentioned, but I do, but I do. And as a matter of fact, I got sent and I'll prove it on the break. This is how my old friends work. Literally somebody sent me the meme from the movie that Mail Railroad or Mad is talking about. Somebody sent

me the meme of the star of the movie and just says, if I said, if I sent me, you this picture and you know the movie, I know who you are. I know exactly who you are. And this was, I want to say yesterday, it might have been Sunday. But that is hilarious. Yeah, RD, you're right.

Three channels and we were the remote. Because we were young enough where, quite frankly, the antenna movers. Oh, antenna movers. Hey, hold your foot up. Don't move. Yeah, that sort of deal. That was, and it was a,

and those are TVs. Those are consoles sitting on the floor that weren't hard to move, weren't easy to move. And then the antenna, you were just searching. We had that in our garage. That was the garage TV. And I think,

I remember we had to move it. You needed a team. But what happened when, so sometimes the knob would fall off the TV. What would you use? Universally, there is a thing. You just got a fill up screwdriver that you can change it.

You use the screwdriver. And you would just, as a matter of fact, and a lot of families, you just left it there. You just. left the day to change the channel. That's how you know. That's how you were living. All right.

We'll take our first break. More 101 coming up.
