Beard Laws (00:02.04)
Pain it is, yes. There was lots of pain. We're jacked up on pain, unfortunately. Burleigh is pretty hurting. So you're not gonna see him this week. Sorry for you not being able to see him, but he's gonna do a speedy recovery. He was a little bit of a fender bender, I guess, from there. So speedy recovery, Burleigh, we've been chatting with you. He's sore. He might not remember our conversations, but we will. No, not.

Gute (00:03.17)
pain.

Gute (00:18.242)
Yeah.

Gute (00:25.666)
Not in person.

Beard Laws (00:27.884)
No, but either way the voice you're hearing is me, it's Mattis Beardloss and joining me as always is goo. What's up brother? It is, hopefully.

Gute (00:35.01)
Good be back, brothers. Missing last week was weird, so it was like, man, something's missing in my life.

Beard Laws (00:40.718)
But it was a good weird, it was a good thing to have you got to spend some time with family and friends, wasn't it? Family and friends on a lake and stuff.

Gute (00:49.622)
Yeah, I was down at Lake House, down in Pinchaw, in like central Virginia, off Leesville Lake. It was magical.

Beard Laws (00:56.485)
that's awesome. Like you like you kind of mentioned, it felt so good to disconnect even if it was for a day or two. I was recently talking to the guy that we're doing Severance Mountain with spoiler go check out Severance Mountain follow him on YouTube. It's a movie that's coming out September 13. Friday the 13th, please go check it out. It's all over the place Severance Mountain. I'll put some links in there. I was talking to the director Ethan. And he kind of did the same thing. He's like, Yeah, we're gonna do a little camping disconnect.

Gute (01:07.106)
Mm -hmm.

Beard Laws (01:22.336)
And he is a busy man from just got off a quick little East Coast tour with the band Freya that he's in. he is a busy tattoo artist and everything like that. So he's a legendary man because his tattoo shop's legendary tattoo. But either way, hopefully he's getting some much needed time with a family and stuff. And schools are coming back and it's starting to ramp back up with the busy life for like you guys must be getting back to school here pretty soon.

Gute (01:45.098)
Yeah.

August 19th is around the corner.

Beard Laws (01:50.19)
Same day as Eubens kids. We go back after, by we, mean, you know, the family, the wife works on this, most of them, they go back after Labor Day. But we didn't, they didn't get done. Yeah, they didn't get done school till the end of June though, so. It doesn't seem like enough, but that's, that's how it works. Same amount of days. I think they go to school 180 days. I feel like you guys are right around the same. Maybe it's a little.

Gute (01:57.688)
Jeez, that was a quick turnaround from them.

That's still, that's not enough. That's weird.

Gute (02:13.804)
I guess but we don't the problem is we don't have me snow days you guys I imagine

Beard Laws (02:18.062)
Yeah, yeah, I mean, I think they they technically get five, but they still, you know what I mean? So it's right around 180 days. I don't know how it works out. I don't work in a school. So thankfully, I couldn't I couldn't do it. But we're about to school you and a bunch of stuff because we are traveling back to a year. And that reminds me, I forgot to upload the video. So I'm going to do that while we're on the fly. But.

Gute (02:40.152)
Pazinga!

Beard Laws (02:41.428)
You let's let's talk about some friends of the show you recently made a purchase that you're going to be rocking something a little bit because the weather is changing schools coming back football is coming back which means the weather is unfortunately going to change I think my weather changed drastically faster than your weather not like it's a competition or anything but yeah what'd you

Gute (02:48.76)
Dude.

Fuck yes.

Gute (03:01.166)
Then Maddie apps up in the mountains. So I mean, I this morning I bought the Fermat flannel calm. I use the code beer loss 24. But a hoodie for my wife. I got the lightweight flannel for me and got a hoodie as well. I'm fucking excited. I got the tropic for my wife. She wanted that one. And then for so that's her hoodie for my hoodie. got the black and checkered one the white checkered white and black checkered. And

Beard Laws (03:07.703)
Hmm.

Beard Laws (03:14.424)
What colors you go

Beard Laws (03:18.914)
That's a good

Beard Laws (03:24.886)
Okay. Yep. That's solid one.

Gute (03:28.266)
And then because they didn't have the tropic in my size, so I'm like, yeah, I'll just go with something different. And then the lightweight flannel is the yellow and blue one, the summer one, summertime one.

Beard Laws (03:36.834)
Yes. Yep, that was was the one with the brewery, the pine brewery or whatever collab, I believe. Yeah, I got that one. That's when I did you go short or long? Yeah.

Gute (03:42.258)
Mm -hmm. Yeah. Long sleeve. I'm not big on score sleeve. I know I can show my guns off, but I'm like, nah, long sleeve.

Beard Laws (03:51.692)
Yeah, see, I don't really have the guns to show off. no, I'm a long sleeve flannel guy too. You know, I just I don't know. It's just something about it. I got a buddy. He rocks the short sleeve ones to work all the time. That's his style. And that's more Al Borlandish wasn't it? No, he right. But yeah, big fans of, you know, obviously you'll see it as the weather changes. Like I said, the studio, at least where I am super warm today.

Gute (04:08.66)
Yeah.

Beard Laws (04:19.244)
I didn't throw on the flannel. To be honest with you, I just got done recording another one. I jumped in, swapped hats, changed shirts, jumped in. I'm going to start putting them in the… I'm going to leave a couple in the studio instead of the closet, but either way, check them out, vermonflannel .com. You can be as cool as me in goot. Disclaimer though, the guns are not included with the flannels. You do have to work your own off like him. And I mean, saw you were wearing that Wolverine mask in your picture, flaunting the guns. We actually talked about a stay out of the fridge, me and Eubin, we were just like,

Gute (04:26.328)
Give me a big show.

Beard Laws (04:49.058)
Damn, he's jacked. Eubens like someday I'm going to be that jacked. I just lost twenty seven pounds. But yeah, he's feeling better. Yeah, he's not quite there, but definitely a little bit better. And yeah, I mean, this comes out on Tuesday. You guys want to see Eubens back on camera? Check it out. He's going to be there Thursday and stay out of my fridge and probably going to be back and burly for the Body Wrong podcast. Check it out Friday right here in Beardlaw Studio. And we got a new friend of a friend of the show here for the month of August.

Gute (04:50.242)
Yeah. Is he, he's feeling better, right? Good. Thank God.

Beard Laws (05:18.902)
rolling into August. I know that this comes out on the 30th of July, so I almost said September, holy shit. Got the movie on my brain. Got the movie on my brain. But make sure you guys check out Brio for Life. They do a little bit of, they got tremors, they got some bundle deals, grooming tools, accessories. They even have toothbrush. You should be brushing your teeth. And if you need a new one, check it out, brioforlife .com. You guys can use the code, guess what? Beard loss.

Gute (05:26.264)
jumping ahead, stop time traveling.

Beard Laws (05:47.726)
You guys can save some money. They got some good stuff. Right on the main page, they got a nose hair trimmer. Mine actually just died, so it's good timing. When I get that in, I'll let you know. You're looking to rock the bald headed life. They got a raised head shaver only 68 .95 almost 69 bucks gigady. But like I said, I've been a friend of Brio for a hot minute. I got the blackout one here, the Beardscape. It's a pretty cool

And I even if you throw it back here to the Beardscape version to there on some new ones got this one as well. Obviously, I don't overly trim my beard. Go he's got that well groomed business beard. And like I said, you know, he's Jackie probably shaves his body. I don't see the chest hair flowing up there. I don't I rock it. But like I said, I'm thinking about shaving the head and going back to the bald life. Somebody made a comment about how bald I am going to take my hat off. It really hit home. So

Gute (06:39.744)
Oof. That hurts, man. Yeah, because my best friend, before I shaved everything off, it was during COVID, I just let it fucking grow. And I would, we were out, it was a random vision, was just that we haven't seen each other forever. So I took my hat off, he was like, my God, I'm like, it fucking hurt. I'm like, shit, next day, just shaved that shit off. I'm like, this is it.

Beard Laws (07:03.886)
Yeah. I got the random dome that just doesn't go up here. And I'm like, son of a bitch. So I'm debating, but if I do, I'm definitely going to get myself the, I like the one that they have that it's the bald bundle plus. So you get a little bit of everything. It'll throw on the Beardscape. So you can do the body hair, the head and all that stuff, but nose hair trimmer. And the, the bald razor is for me, they got a travel bundle, which is nice. A lot of people on the road, 25, 97, you can check it

Gute (07:07.298)
Yep, same here.

But no.

Beard Laws (07:31.438)
Again, that's brioforlife .com should be links in the description. Check it out. I'm ready. 1983 is a banger. And I do feel bad that Burleigh is banged up because there's a lot of good music that we're gonna talk about, a lot of good movies, a lot of good stuff. And speaking of good, the person that sent this in, he's doing a lot of good in the world, a lot of good, and I'm a huge friend.

Gute (07:38.786)
Yeah. It is.

Beard Laws (07:56.974)
of him. But before we do this, and why obviously we picked 1983, we need some people to submit some videos. So if you're listening to this, you want to submit a video, I don't care if you're a podcaster, I don't care if you're a plumber, I don't care if you, you know, are sweeping floors at a McDonald's, send us a video, meta beard laws .com or slide into those DMS, we just need a 10 1520 second video, you just say, Hey, I picked this year. And this is why it could be like, I've noticed a lot of people are just picking the year that they were born. So eventually, we're gonna

Gute (08:06.584)
Thank

Beard Laws (08:24.878)
We get in a lot of 80s because that's about the same mutuals as us. You know, we've had some stuff. We're running low on the 80s. We're running low. We did just have a video of 1988. We're going to we're going to, you know, fix that one in here a little bit. But let's jump around a little bit more. Anywhere from the 30s to two thousand and twenty three, you can pick a year. So let's do the thing. Let's we've had some we've had some good ones. Go back and listen to from we've got a couple of 60s, 50s.

Gute (08:29.272)
Think we're all out dough days after this year,

Beard Laws (08:53.454)
40s, think a 30, some 90s, some 80s. 32, baby, that one was rough. Do network really likes to go back in time, hey. All right, let's go ahead. We're gonna play the video from our friend Robert and why we picked 1983.

Gute (08:54.862)

  1. And 69. I know right.

Beard Laws (09:36.642)
that man. Yeah, I love it. Did you know the washing machine was invented here? Gotcha. But we are going to tell you what was invented. What was music, movies, everything. I know Burley's not here to fire it up. So hopefully, we're going to be able to, you know, ramp this up a little bit. So. So I'm just.

Gute (09:36.942)
That's hot.

Gute (09:59.832)
It's going. It's flowing.

Beard Laws (10:05.931)
shit.

Beard Laws (10:09.4)
think we're ready.

Beard Laws (10:22.222)
Holy shit, 1983. That was a pretty quick trip, especially compared to the 50s. And we did it. 83 was pretty wild. Not only obviously the movies, the music, but there was a lot of sports that were played. Let's go with the sports in case there's any sports fans will run through this year pretty quick because I know Goot is pretty happy with how football went as

Gute (10:23.586)
Whoo.

Gute (10:42.414)
Let's hit

Beard Laws (10:49.102)
As a champion of the NFL, was the Washington Redskins when they were still known as the Redskins. Rest in peace. They defeated the Miami Dolphins 27 -17 in Super Bowl XV -11. Figure that one out if you can't do Roman numerals. We'll break it down for you next week. Come back. That was on January 30th, 1983. Baseball, everything cycles, whether it's fashion, music, and even sports, the Baltimore Orioles won the World Series beating the Phillies.

Gute (10:54.316)
Rest in peace.

Beard Laws (11:17.23)
lot of beating the Phillies lately. Will that happen again this year? It potentially could. The Orioles in 2024, spoiler alert, are pretty good and so are the Phillies. That would be an interesting world series. And 83.

Gute (11:31.118)
Was Cal a rep you can apply that to?

Gute (11:36.364)
I think he was. That must have been his rookie year. it? Ooh.

Beard Laws (11:41.454)
Let's check it out. Cal Ripken years played. He played 81. Yeah, 81 to 2001. The Iron Man. Hell yeah. Congrats Cal Ripken. Win yourself a World Series. Hopefully the young studs of the Orioles. If it was to happen, I'm rooting Baltimore all day over that goddamn Philadelphia. And then you got the NBA. Philadelphia 76ers. They defeat the Lakers. Sweep them for nothing.

Gute (11:45.644)
He was.

Fuck yeah. Fuck yeah.

Gute (12:07.704)
What?

Beard Laws (12:10.894)
in 83 New York Islanders. They win the Stanley Cup. They beat the Edmonton Oilers in four games. Edmonton, they had a pretty rough again this year. Made an epic comeback in 2024 and just fell short to floor dust. Speaking of Florida, college football champions, the U Miami Hurricanes. They beat the Nebraska Cornhuskers in one of the most epic games. 31 -30 in the Orange Bowl January

And let's see here. Yeah, the other one was, yeah, Brandon J. McDermott, big Nebraska fan. He's hoping they make a comeback. Hey, never know.

Gute (12:42.702)
when they were irrelevant.

Gute (12:51.16)
They're trying to. They got the right system in place I think now.

Beard Laws (12:55.308)
Yep. And I mean, let's just be honest. It's going to be tough to beat Oregon coming up because they have unlimited money with NAL. It's all about that money in college football now, but they're going to expand it. So it's just not one game that determines in the AP poll like there was in the 80s. Now there's going to be an expanded playoffs to see who your college champ is. I'm excited for that. I mean, this is the year that I get back into college football. think they'll have a team, but I'm just going to be a fan of it. I've always been like a college basketball North Carolina fan.

Gute (13:02.572)
Mm -hmm.

Gute (13:13.87)
crazy.

Beard Laws (13:25.41)
So I've always kind of secretly, not secretly, but I've always kind of like, hey, I hope Carolina does all right. Living close to Syracuse growing up in there, I always hope the Orange are fairly decent, knowing that neither of those teams are probably ever going to be on the caliber to be a national champion, but I root for

Gute (13:40.77)
I was a big Duke guy, so yeah, I love watching them play. It was weird. But yeah, I still get a root for them. I don't have any fucking interest at all, but.

Beard Laws (13:49.198)
Yep, yeah, same, know, and every once in a while, you know, they get a player that potentially might do something in football or at least has the hype to do it and then never works out. then college basketball, something we both love. North Carolina State beat Houston 54 -52 in 1983. I think that was it. Was it that Jimmy V?

Gute (14:09.558)
Yeah, that was him. Jesus.

Beard Laws (14:11.82)
Yep. So yeah, that was that was a was a that was a heck of a yeah, that was the old Jimmy V. They had Alvin Battle and a couple of other pretty decent people and not a lot of names that I overly know, but I'll never forget the yeah, Jimmy V. What an

Gute (14:25.442)
This is a big two. This yeah. I the V foundation is still going on, you know, try to beat cancer. It just blows me away how much money they throw at it and it's just, they still can't figure it out. It's depressing.

Beard Laws (14:38.35)
I don't get it. I don't get it. it's yeah. Fuck cancer. Don't hear me say the F word a lot, but that one's well deserved. And there was golf. There was more golf and there was other golf and there were some champions to be honest. I don't know. Not overly into it. So we're going to we're going to skip that one. But one thing that I honestly love looking into is let's let's go ahead and talk about the prices in 1983.

Gute (14:43.351)
Mm -hmm.

Gute (14:47.096)
far as that matter.

Gute (15:05.388)
Oof.

Beard Laws (15:07.438)
It's always cool to see the difference of the prices from 1983 to whatever year it is now or whenever you're listening. And a lot of people have been commenting and be like, would that be nice? And then, you know, they have your sense. So let us know what you think about the prices and stuff in 1983. Price of milk per gallon was a dollar 35. Bread, 84 cents. Eggs, 86 cents. Ground beef was about a buck 29 a pound. That'd be nice. Coffee, 230 a pound, which that seems pretty, that seems pretty, I love some coffee, but.

Gute (15:36.224)
Same

Beard Laws (15:37.454)
I would love to pay $2 .34 a pound of coffee, gas, $1 .25. Never going to see that again. Unfortunately, the price of a new car on average was about $8 ,577. The price of a used car was about $5 ,000. Median home price was about $70 ,000 and monthly rent was about $335. So I mean, that's I mean, I don't know the price of rent, obviously, but median home

Gute (15:41.038)
No.

Gute (15:54.104)
Jesus.

Gute (16:01.345)
Mmm.

Beard Laws (16:07.086)
price 70 grand, that's in a lot of areas. You know, got to think this isn't just, you know, where Burleigh potentially is in Houston or, you know, a major city or whatever. That's still somewhat, yep. The average price of a personal computer was about 2 ,500 bucks and IBM was pretty much around. This was big, big name. And this was before the internet breakout and stuff. Color TV, a 19 inch CRT TV was about 375 bucks in a VCR.

Gute (16:15.7)
Yeah, it's just outside DC.

Gute (16:22.35)
So it's a big name.

Gute (16:34.765)
magic.

Beard Laws (16:36.686)
$400. This is something that we're going to get into a little bit more is movies and the price of a movie ticket was about $3 .15 and a vinyl or a cassette was about $8, which that would be really nice, but you can find some from 1983 for that price and lower now. But I mean, a new vinyl that you probably can go to wall fart or, you know, places that rhyme with argot.

Target, they're what 25 bucks 30 bucks for some of them

Gute (17:06.606)
Yeah, there's some small shops that are growing. I'm happy the Renaissance has come back in the future. So yeah, this is small shops, it's all just vinyl and CDs, stuff like that. But yeah, it's like 20, 20 to $30. But also the the rarity and like capitalism, supply and demand, if you have something that's big in demand is to be like upwards of 50 to $100. Easy.

Beard Laws (17:25.87)
I've paid over a hundred bucks for one album because it was just a limited edition press. was something I needed for my discography for teenage bottle rockets. And you know, hey, every once in a while I don't really even play it. It just looks pretty in the collection in a secret little spot. But yeah, that's pretty cool. That's the that's the prices of things in 1983. We talked about movie tickets. Let's talk about movies. Yeah.

Gute (17:52.654)
Whoo, so you missed a few clothing. Jeans cost $20. Women's dress. For you.

Beard Laws (17:56.27)
you got some more? Let's go 20 bucks for a pair of jeans. What are they now? I haven't bought a I haven't bought a new pair of jeans in a hot minute.

Gute (18:03.31)
So I buy my stuff from like Duluth because like they're more heavy duty and they're more flexible and the Wrangler or other stuff like that. It's just it's not my look. Yeah, it could go between like it on sale to like 15 $60. Like I got good work pants outside. So yeah, a woman's dress started $5. Can't even imagine. No college tuition was in state was $1031.

Beard Laws (18:24.277)
Ooh, not getting that these days.

Gute (18:32.43)
college tuition for private per year was $5 ,385. It's expensive, man. But yeah, even that

Beard Laws (18:37.326)
Man, that'd be nice. I out of state, you're probably 100 grand a year, if not more.

Gute (18:42.094)
Exactly nowadays. Yeah, newspaper costs 25 cents. I don't even know how much it costs out it. My dad still gets the Washington Post. Yeah, because he prefers to read it by paper.

Beard Laws (18:43.992)
or a piece of paper.

Beard Laws (18:48.248)
That would be nice.

Don't know. Does he? There's a. Yep, yeah, the father -in -law, he he loves the newspaper still. If he happens to be at a store and something, he'll always grab one, just kind of read through it. And then it turns into when I see him, he'll be like, hey, you want this for us to start a fire? Sure.

Gute (19:09.294)
That's what I do. I go to Walmart, I'll read it first, but I got like 10, 20 copies and I'm like, I'll read it and like, okay, I feel so bad. Do the crossword puzzle. All right. It's Kindle now for me.

Beard Laws (19:17.806)
Yep. Yep. It works. Because a lot of things, you know what I mean? If you want to start a fire, the newspaper still burns pretty good. But a lot of the new stuff, like if you want to have little couple of pieces of cardboard and some other stuff, it doesn't burn right. I don't know what's going on with it. That's maybe a different topic and a different conversation, but it doesn't burn nearly as good as a 1983 newspaper, which is probably worth some money if you find certain news articles and magazines from 83.

Gute (19:35.694)
I know, right?

The lake house I was just down at, he had the newspaper on the Washington Post, the rest comes being the Dolphins. He has it like framed down by his pool area, like playing billiards pool. And I look at him, like, that's him come, that's like come back to me. Come back around.

Beard Laws (19:47.552)
Nice. Yep.

Beard Laws (19:53.93)
Mm -hmm. Yep. Always does.

Gute (20:00.206)
of damn so so movies so that year was a amazing year in movies i mean just so many wide range of different things that came out from like sci -fi action comedy i mean christmas story came out that year i mean that means every year on tbs they have 24 seven just they keep playing it every year and it still draws numbers i mean they even made a remake to it i didn't watch it but i mean i just the original you have to keep the magic toward the christmas story so those are my you know

Beard Laws (20:13.032)
wow.

Beard Laws (20:18.13)
every

Beard Laws (20:24.312)
Yeah, I

Gute (20:30.24)
It's always something new or it's always like, it's surreal to me. Like I've watched it do my kid's eyes when they watch the movie for the first time. So it's always special and it's something else.

Beard Laws (20:38.808)
Mm

Beard Laws (20:42.19)
Yeah, that's a legendary one. 1983, I'll have to remember that for a trivia night.

Gute (20:45.122)
Yeah. Yeah.

Mm hmm. But that year, Robert Duvall won Best Actor for Tender Mercies. I haven't seen that movie. The big big move that year. I haven't seen it.

Beard Laws (20:57.11)
Never saw. Have you seen it or you haven't seen it? Let's pull up the old INDB. Guarantee you there's a cowboy hat.

Gute (21:05.834)
I'm glad. Yeah, but he's an amazing actor though. So I'm happy he finally got you know, best actor for it. Yep.

Beard Laws (21:12.098)
Yup. Tender. Look at all the cowboys hats. A broken down middle aged country singer gets a new wife, reaches out to his long lost daughter and tries to put his troubled life back together. I mean, that's got to be relatable.

Gute (21:24.167)
Yeah, he's so young. But yeah, the movie that like stole the Oscars that year was Terms of Endearment. Shirley Maclaine. She won best actress for that. I Jack Nicholas won best supporting actor for that. That was, you know, it won best picture that year. It was directed by James L. Brooks. He's the creator of The Simpsons.

Beard Laws (21:26.38)
Wow, that's crazy.

Beard Laws (21:35.447)
Okay.

Gute (21:51.778)
He also did broadcast news. Sorry. Yeah. Broadcast news. And he did as good as it gets with Jack Nicholson. but that was a hell of a cast. had Jack Nicholson, you had, know, Shirley McClain, you had Danny DeVito in there, Jeff Daniels and, John Lifgao and yeah, Deborah Winger. a hell of a cast. It's a hell of a movie. Heck yeah. They're younger selves.

Beard Laws (22:12.238)
A of people that did a lot of big things. In 83, I mean, that's still prime. Like we talked about the price of a VCR, that's still prime. Buy a movie, rent a movie. You know what I mean? Like go to a theater as something to do, go and buy and own the copy of the VHS. Like that's still prime movie stuff, you know, before things evolved or shifted, I guess. You can look at it either way.

Gute (22:24.866)
Like Blockbuster?

Gute (22:39.042)
Yeah, it's you know, with physical media nowadays or in the future, know, blu rays and 4k comes out and like you can see the less and less of it like Best Buy stopped selling it. You can still see it like Wal Fart and know, Tarjay. So it's just, it's there but it's growing down. You have to go to, you know, Amazon to fucking buy that mess.

Beard Laws (22:57.516)
Yeah, I know. Recently, I got talking to somebody about, you know, the the Netflix takeover, you know what mean? When they first started, you know, sending you movies and stuff like that. And a good friend of mine, you know, owned a movie store, you know, and then killed all of the little movie stores. I mean, it just it is what it is. mean, people love, you know, Netflix. They love the Netflix and chill and whatever it is. But man, it's there's there's still one place near me. It's a it's a family owned little thing where

Gute (23:12.322)
Yeah, it did.

Beard Laws (23:26.498)
The only place that I know of within a long range of things where you can still go and rent a movie you can still rent Video games even you know if you want to do that like you know stuff like that you can go and buy them you can go and return swap and essentially you know what a Game stop but a very small and stuff in a very small area which is pretty cool You know like I go in there every once in a while just to see you know hey I need a controller for this or you know what do they have do I want

Gute (23:44.01)
Much better.

Beard Laws (23:54.828)
just buy a brand new old school console? No, but yes. And it's cool.

Gute (24:00.878)
So the you said blockbuster or acid blockbuster. So there's still one open in Bend, Oregon. It's still open. Like you can go there.

Beard Laws (24:08.352)
Is it was it the original one that's still open or just one or the last one? Gotcha.

Gute (24:11.296)
It's the one of the last ones. I want to say the original one, but it's like near a resort. So it's, it's well -placed location, location, location. So yeah, when people want to go visit the area, they can go, let's go write a movie. And like the nostalgia of it is something surreal.

Beard Laws (24:19.682)
Mm -hmm.

Beard Laws (24:26.03)
Yep. you're going to get the late fees. wonder if lifetime those are the like the membership and stuff is still in the system for certain people. That'd be pretty cool. You know, and like we kind of said, things do circle back and it's one of those things where, you know, now it's cool again to rent movies and the nostalgia. Let me find a VCR. Let me let me watch this on a DVD. Like things things always cycle. And like I'm assuming you still have quite the collection of stuff like that. And I know a guy.

Gute (24:28.642)
Gotta rewind that.

Gute (24:33.162)
Yeah, gotta rewind that.

Gute (24:51.399)
yes.

Beard Laws (24:53.9)
that I used to work with that, you know, he had a crazy DVD collection. He was trying to move it because he's like, even if I can get a little bit of money from it, I mean, just he went through and was cataloging that stuff just so, you know, people wanted to buy one ops or the whole thing. And it was just it was nuts.

Gute (25:10.52)
It's insane. Yeah, because all my stuff is in alphabetical order and like I haven't memorized almost but like I, you know, I'll never get the money back for it. So I just keep it for my own, my entire I can watch a movie a day or something but

Beard Laws (25:22.22)
Yeah, unless, know, like you said, unless one day somebody's like, wow, you have that crazy collection. Here's X amount of money. I mean, no. What you were buying it from back in the day to now. it's like, it's cool to collect. mean, obviously, look, I collect there. You can see over here. I got a little bit of some VHS ones. They're not probably worth a lot, nor would I trade them. But I just I have them in the studio. I need to figure out a way to shift them down so it looks cool. Maybe I'll maybe I'll swap them.

Gute (25:32.96)
It's for my son. It's for my kids.

Hahaha

Gute (25:48.086)
Each week to a real reorgan each week. Yeah. But speaking like the tube TV is like at the Lake House this past weekend. My best friend at we always play Super Mario three. And so we have an old TV and old tube shit and just like we just hit it like sweet. We try the new TV. I have our kids watching like you can tell it lags. And it's like, this isn't gonna work.

Beard Laws (25:51.23)
That sounds like a lot of work. Seems like a job for one of the kids.

Gute (26:12.866)
So we put that on old TV and it's like we're just kicking butt and know, beat Bowser at the end. My kids are all cheering. It's, it's something.

Beard Laws (26:12.938)
Nope.

Beard Laws (26:19.534)
That's awesome. That is pretty cool. And speaking of 1983, while we're here and we'll jump back into movies, you mentioned Mario Bros. You know, that was 1983, right? On NES, Dragon's Lair was one of the top video games of 1983, which was an arcade game. had Spy Hunter, which was also an arcade game, which was the vehicle combat game where you actually drove a car equipped with various weapons and shot things out of the way.

Gute (26:27.47)
Hello.

Gute (26:33.707)
Mm.

Gute (26:37.72)
Yeah.

Beard Laws (26:47.502)
Tapper was another one that was an arcade game. Star Wars, the arcade game came out in 83. Mappy, I don't know, I didn't play that one, but was players control the police mouse named Mappy. And you navigated through levels to retrieve stolen goods from cats. Apparently that was a big thing in 83. An Olympic themed sports game where people compare and compete in stuff, track and field that came out in 83. Pole position, which was awesome.

Gute (26:56.11)
I've heard that

Gute (27:15.416)
Yeah.

Beard Laws (27:15.63)
which is an arcade game as well. And Miss Pac -Man, an arcade version was released, I believe in Japan, the sequel of Pac -Man. So those are a couple of games in 83.

Gute (27:27.118)
Yeah, but speaking of Star Wars, know, the top 10 grossing movies, I looked up just North America alone, I'm America, baby. But number one

Beard Laws (27:33.346)
Yep. I mean, yeah, America, baby, USA. I mean, we're watching the Olympics. So like, I'm super like, yeah, bring it back. It's weird because we got talking about that. Again, if you guys haven't checked it out, go check out the Body Wrong podcast last week. Check it out. Anyways, we talked about hot air balloons and this and that. And the next thing you know, I don't get on my personal stuff much, especially like Facebook. The first thing I popped in, a couple of my buddies went to a hot air balloon festival near us. And I'm

Gute (27:39.754)
I know right? Hot air ballooned. I'm so excited to watch that.

Beard Laws (28:03.215)
balloons are taking over my life and I don't know if I like it or not. Yeah.

Gute (28:07.054)
make it a comeback. But I'll start number 10 was risky business. And Tom Cruise. I know his famous scene dancing on in his underwear.

Beard Laws (28:12.68)
what a movie that was.

Beard Laws (28:17.798)
My favorite thing of that, not only the movie, obviously pretty good, but I was watching all the people that do the scene and then just flop on the floor or run into a wall or whatever. And I mean, this is the yeah, it holds up. this like, I don't know, this style, I mean, obviously it's a little bit different, but the style of, you know, the cover and stuff, just simple, but cool. You know what mean? Like now it's another trend where you got the cartoonish looks going. You know what I mean? You got that and just what a what a good movie.

Gute (28:26.486)
Yep. It's the holds up.

Gute (28:39.01)
Thank you.

Gute (28:46.926)
Number 90 of Mr. Mom. I haven't seen that one,

Beard Laws (28:50.678)
Okay. Mr. Mom. Hmm, let's pull that up. who did that have in it? Michael Keaton?

Gute (28:59.234)
see that Michael Keaton has a weird place for me like I I love him and you know Batman and then Beetlejuice but there's a time like multiplicity is that the one yeah multiplicity like it there's a range where she touched my wieners Steve but there's a weird that I can't I could not see him past like Batman or like Beetlejuice it wasn't like the other guys I saw him there as they you know the police captain I'm like what the

Beard Laws (29:04.669)
Beard Laws (29:11.606)
Yeah, I like pizza, Steve.

Gute (29:28.408)
These other movies?

Beard Laws (29:29.35)
Yep. Yeah, he was recently laid off and the husband switches roles with his wife. She returns to the workforce and he becomes a stay at home dad. Needs to take care of three young children, a job he has no clue how to do. And you're thinking now, I think of anything you're thinking, I mean, come on, stay at home dads are, you know, a thing, you know, women in the workforce and stuff. But when you're 1980, it was different. It was different. You know, there was a lot more stay at home moms. There was a lot more like.

know, moms are, you know, going to potentially babysit and stuff like that. And having a dad do that role, I think was different, especially in that time, and it showed up being the top 10 movie of all time, you

Gute (30:05.452)
Damn, what a cast. Christopher Lloyd and Jeffrey Tambor.

Beard Laws (30:09.73)
Pretty wild, right? Mr. Mom.

Gute (30:15.294)
Number eight, staying alive. Another one I haven't seen before.

Beard Laws (30:20.364)
I know the first thing that pops in my mind was staying alive is the songs. Yeah, and that's got the Heterovolta in

Gute (30:23.298)
Bee Gees, yeah. Let's just… Yeah?

Beard Laws (30:29.784)
Interesting. I think I've, man, I don't know. I thought maybe just by the artwork that I saw it,

Gute (30:34.222)
This is exciting.

Beard Laws (30:41.166)
Man, that is a young John Travolta looking like Rambo. Trying to look like Rambo. What is the concept of this movie? Five years later, Tony Manero's Saturday Night Fever is still burning. Now he's strutting towards his biggest challenge yet, succeeding as a dancer on the Broadway stage. Can confirm, haven't seen it. It's funny because, you know, we obviously it's released 1983, one of the top movies. Then, of course, you can be on IMDb 4 .8 out of 10.

Gute (30:45.358)
Yeah.

Beard Laws (31:10.446)
out of 18 ,000 reviews. So it wasn't a big hit.

Gute (31:13.326)
Yeah, it's also known as the Saturday Night Fever 2. Because, yeah, Saturday Night was a huge hit for him.

Beard Laws (31:21.944)
yeah. It does seem like a weird little, I guess, not runoff, but a playoff to try to, you know, maybe make some more money or something off it. It seems very similar. Like, I did all this dancing. It did really well. Let me try it again.

Gute (31:27.79)
or just sequel cash grab.

Gute (31:36.262)
He's still doing it. Number seven, we got sudden impact.

Beard Laws (31:38.008)
Still doing

Beard Laws (31:43.054)
hell of a movie.

Gute (31:44.652)
Yeah. Dirty Harry. God, it's so good. movie just, this thing, know, the trilogy is back in the day was so different. And like he just an amazing actor going from Westerns to action, you know, just going with the times. It's just phenomenal watch. And then number six, we've got, I know, Octopussy jumping on like a sumo wrestler.

Beard Laws (31:46.616)
Dirty Harry is at it again.

Beard Laws (32:03.458)
Yep. Burleigh's gonna miss number six. He'd be all over this. Probably hadn't seen it, but… Yeah, was a fake egg recovered from the body of a fellow agent leads James Bond to uncover a jewel smuggling operation led by the mysterious Octopussy, a plot to blow up a NATO air base.

Gute (32:30.21)
That's sir. Yeah, of course. I'm sorry. It's not Roger Moore. It's sir.

Beard Laws (32:32.6)
Did you see this

Beard Laws (32:38.636)
Roger Moore was in it. Roger Moore was James Bond. had Maude or however you would say it, as Octopussy. I'll bring it up here. There's some decent names in there. Obviously not a shocker here. I had not seen this, but here's the cast.

Gute (32:39.71)
Okay, I'll start debating.

Beard Laws (32:59.935)
some big names, some names that you probably would recognize more than me. But yeah, like I said, I had not

Gute (33:08.67)
on Connery. I was thinking Sean Connery but I was like no it's not him it's Roger Moore so I can remember his name

Beard Laws (33:14.51)
Roger Moore. Get that frigging little. I like how it's a Albert R. Broccoli presents Roger Moore as Ian Fleming's James Bond 007 in octa. It's funny how those old ones, it's like this presented by this, but then by this, because this one did this and this one. I love the.

Gute (33:19.542)
It's a banger, dude. It's a good movie.

Gute (33:28.322)
the play on.

Gute (33:33.822)
Yeah, it's a banger. All those movies are cheesy, they're really good though. The number five, got War Games. Classic movie of the hacker, know, trying to board and all of a sudden hacks the of the best defense systems and like playing a game like Ashland Lake. It's a…

Gute (33:59.928)
What's it called? It's a computer program simulation where they're to fire nukes and he's the game to try to beat it.

Beard Laws (34:07.95)
Is it a game or is it real? Way ahead of its time, honestly. You know what mean? And then they remade it in like mid 2010 or at least there was something with that. Was it a remake or was it just the same name? I wonder.

Gute (34:09.71)
Exactly. Yes.

Gute (34:20.418)
think it was just a remake. I think it was the eagle eye, it?

Beard Laws (34:23.79)
Well, there's another War Games in 2010. Let me see what that one was about. But that had, what's his name, Matthew Broderick in it, the 2000, the original 1983 one. Yeah, there was War Games, The Dead Code in 2008. There was War Games, 2018. War Games in 2010.

Gute (34:31.746)
Yeah, let's A3.

Gute (34:43.426)
Yeah, I haven't seen that one.

Beard Laws (34:45.28)
Okay, it must be something different because it seven friends traveled to the countryside to play war in the woods. They stumbled upon three paranoid and sadistic ex -soldiers. Not the same one. They put a space in their name. The original War Games did

Gute (34:53.352)
Nope. Of course. Bastards.

Beard Laws (34:58.926)
essentially, but yeah, that's that's a that's a banger of a movie for 83. Like I said, way ahead of its time.

Gute (35:05.282)
Yeah, the next up number four we have trading spaces, the great comedy with like Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy. I must say Charlie Murphy, but yeah.

Beard Laws (35:14.316)
Eddie Murphy, yeah, trading place. Snobbish investor and a Wiley Street con artist find their positions reversed as part of a bet by a couple of millionaires. And these millionaires are like, all right, I bet you guys can't swap roles. And they traded places.

Gute (35:31.086)
Exactly. just a perfect time. Like, you know, the eighties was great. Like it was dealing with the social class and like economic issues with, you know, just the perfect humor between those two. mean, Dan Ackroyd just amazing. I mean, he started his own podcast. It was like just talking about the movies like Ghostbusters and like, there's all the different properties he's been in. The blues brothers. mean, just amazing what he's done.

Beard Laws (35:52.782)
Can you think of a movie that he was in that sucked? Like does something pop in your head and be like Dan Aykroyd movie sucks like nothing comes to my brain.

Gute (36:01.838)
What do think of the blue brothers remake? Was it 2010? That that's debatable.

Beard Laws (36:04.482)
I didn't see it. I didn't see it. mean, blues bros, they were they were a thing like I'm not I'm not rewatching

Gute (36:11.202)
Yeah, but there's a remake because you know, John Belushi was dead. So you have John Goodman, you know, coming in like they're doing their thing. it's it's there's that magic is Michigan, but it's still good. It's still a good movie.

Gute (36:25.762)
Yeah, so then you have Flashdance, know, the great soundtrack to that movie as well. I mean, what a feeling. I still jam out to that. Like it gets me pumped like before I go work out. So stupid.

Beard Laws (36:34.894)
Yeah, no, hey, you know what? That was a banger.

Gute (36:41.516)
Yeah.

Beard Laws (36:43.246)
They had, yeah, that did pretty well at the box office. Opening weekend, US and Canada, $4 million in 1983 grossed $92 .9 million.

Gute (36:50.04)
Yeah.

Gute (36:54.658)
What a time. Number two is we discussed earlier terms of endearment. then number one, Return of the Jedi, just classic Star Wars story, know, Vader and Luke Skywalker, Carrie Fisher and her iconic dress being slave to Boba Fett. It was just an iconic movie. It still holds up, you know. I can't wait for my kids to finally watch the whole original trilogy and just go from there. Skip the newer stuff, but.

Beard Laws (37:19.63)
Yeah, that's a good one. That's a good one. Still 8 .3 on the IMDB. They love

Gute (37:26.094)
Yeah, but just going quick just to finish it out and you have other movies like you have video Videodrome the dead zone Superman 3 Scarface came out that year You have twides on the movie my personal favorite. I love the old old -school twilight zone episodes You have Kujo Poor burly sleepaway camp. He missed out on that one teaching chong still smoking and The outsiders mean just what it was a fucking good year for movies

Beard Laws (37:29.677)
Yeah.

Beard Laws (37:42.062)
That's a good one. Real good

Beard Laws (37:47.549)
Mm -hmm.

Beard Laws (37:55.97)
Yep, and I don't know if you said it, I'm just looking at your notes right now. Jaws 3D, not sure. Not sure about that one. They did try, but should they have tried?

Gute (38:01.189)
duh.

They tried.

Gute (38:10.05)
cash grab.

Beard Laws (38:11.566)
It was a cash grab. You know what I mean? But like, were they trying to be revolutionary and it just didn't work out? Like for anybody that doesn't know, it's a giant 35 foot shark becomes trapped in a SeaWorld theme park and it's up to the sons of police chief Brody to rescue everyone. So they try to play on the original one. They bring in some people or, you know, know, ties to it. But I mean, to be honest with you, though, the concept kind of funny.

Gute (38:18.85)
Didn't work.

Beard Laws (38:41.464)
Jaws get stuck in Sea World. When was Free Willy? That was after, right? So they wouldn't have played off the, yeah, that was a decade later. But you know what I mean? Like, I wonder if they, you know, to play off the whole Sea World thing and everybody, know, people go, millions and millions of people go to Sea World and you have the protest. they're like, we're not trying to get into that, but like the concept, kind of cool, kind of interesting. The third dimension is terror.

Gute (38:48.184)
Yeah, that was after.

Gute (39:06.75)
ahead of his time.

Beard Laws (39:12.184)
But yeah, I mean, I didn't see it. Did you? Yeah. How did, I mean, it can't be a spoiler. How did he get, how did they, you know, make it out that he got stuck in Sea

Gute (39:15.294)
Yeah, of course.

Gute (39:23.62)
poor bad writing. I'll leave it there.

Beard Laws (39:25.43)
Hmm. I mean the potential could have been like a good thing for him to like I'm just like an iconic shark or even just getting a great weight But I mean jaws is jaws. How the hell does he get trapped in SeaWorld? Right man terrible terrible

Gute (39:37.294)
porpoise. This is bad writing. It was good concepts but bad writing type of things.

Beard Laws (39:46.382)
Mm Is it the worst Jaws movie of all of them has to be right? Yeah, I am DB IM DB third 50 ,000 people went out of their way to make sure that they rated it and it's a 3 .7 Which hey rightfully so but if you're a huge fan of Jaws 3d Please let us know in the comments why you love Jaws 3d and try to convince us good luck Good luck

Gute (39:48.633)
yes. yes.

Beard Laws (40:13.614)
Couple of interesting things. I love to do the random segment kind of of this. Here's some interesting things that happened in 1983 that were whether they were game changers or just more relatable things that not only me and Goot are going to and Burley obviously, but hopefully you, the listeners and viewers. Apple introduced the Lisa computer. It was the first personal computer with a graphical user interface, or known as a GUI, on January 19th. If you're a nerd,

You appreciate this. If you're not, we'll just keep moving on because you I mean, to be honest, I'm not a huge Apple guy, but it was a pretty big deal back in the day. I never owned one of these. I have not owned the only Apple products that I've ever owned was, I think, one or two iPhones before they put this is a spoiler. Apple's going to put a bunch of YouTube music on your phone. And for some reason, I still talk about it and it pisses me off. And iPads. The family loves them. I don't know why they watch movies.

Gute (40:52.514)
same.

Beard Laws (41:12.13)
They play some games on them. I've tried to say, hey, you maybe we can go with, you know, a Google tablet or something like that. no, they're stuck in the Apple world for now, but we're going to we're going to get them off of there. But this is probably a sad one for an older generation with the year of the final episode of MASH aired February 28th, becoming the most watched television television episode in U .S. history. That's how iconic.

this was. I do wish Burley was on the show because I know he loves Cabbage Patch Kids and that's the year that they were released and it was a craze which making it one of if not the hottest toy of the year. Obviously I didn't grow up with sisters or whatever and we didn't have, I don't, we never had a Cabbage Patch doll in the house.

Gute (42:00.514)
My mom still has them from my sister. She's kept it. You know, so it has some value there. Whenever, I don't know, whenever I come through, because my sisters don't have any kids. So if I wanted to save them just for a rainy day fund, if they're worth something later, but yeah, crazy.

Beard Laws (42:17.122)
Yeah, was never a thing in my house, but it was a thing. know, spoiler alert, Beanie Babies become big. That was a thing. There's a local, somewhat local guy to me that had just this crazy Beanie Baby collection, sold a bunch of them off for millions and millions of dollars, and then it opened up some hardware stores and like a whole bunch of things. Like he became a millionaire from Beanie Babies.

Gute (42:26.082)
Yeah. yeah, still are.

Beard Laws (42:46.926)
It just shows you some collections. You get the right thing. Lucrative. But I also know a lot of people that have spent a lot of money on some things that they thought were going to be worth some money. That's not worth shit. Maybe, you know, we already talked about Mario Brothers was released for Nintendo. Microsoft Word launched. Microsoft released the first version of Microsoft Word for MS -DOS computers. Man, those goddamn, don't get me started on Microsoft.

Gute (42:51.147)
Mm -hmm

Gute (42:57.594)
It's 100

Beard Laws (43:15.95)
Do they have some things that a lot of people use, but does it suck that they continually push new versions of Office that people continually buy and it's the same thing? They just move buttons and looks around? But hey, makes the business world go round, I suppose. Sally Ride became the first American woman in space in 1983. She was on the Space Shuttle Challenger. The one that

Gute (43:37.642)
one that didn't blow up.

Beard Laws (43:41.166)
Speaking of some nerd stuff, DNS was established, which is the domain name system. So if you own a domain name, potentially like beardlawstudio .com, you could check it out. That was established. Then Motorola Dynatech 8000X was released. you're going, what the hell is that? It was the first commercially available mobile phone. It weighed two pounds, goop. There's some people, Richard Simmons, rest in peace. He should have got a commercial.

Gute (44:05.878)
light dumbbell.

I know right. I know right.

Beard Laws (44:10.926)
and just got some women and just did some workouts with the Motorola Dynatac 8000X. There was a plague in 1983. There was a major outbreak that occurred in India, which caused a widespread concern and efforts to control the disease. I didn't know about it. We talked about Brink. Was it last year in the robbery? In the last episode in 1950, what did we do in 1950? There was another Brinks. Yeah, last year, 1950, there was a big

Gute (44:35.821)
I

Beard Laws (44:40.462)
robbery and one of the Brinks one we talked about. was also in 1983 Brinks matte robbery was the largest gold heist in British history, which occurred on November 26th. It was 26 million pounds worth of gold, diamonds and cash were stolen.

Gute (44:55.18)
Wow, I switched the movie like big heist with jason's dave them

Beard Laws (44:56.824)
Yep.

Yeah, 1950, think, yeah, we talked about it last week. There was 11 people, I think, involved and they stole a bunch of money and it was one of the things. They got caught. I don't know how they did it, but they ended up getting caught. And 1983, the compact disc was introduced to the U .S. The first CDs and CD players were released in the U .S. in 1983, revolutionizing the music

And if that's not a segue, I don't know what is. Music 1983, sorry, Burley, you're not here. He's our music guy, like loves himself some music. So me and Goot, we're going to try to do it some justice. There was a lot of good stuff. So right before the show started, did we potentially do some research? huh. I went to the Internet and I said, let's just just give me 20 of the best moments in music history from 1983. And of course, the first

Gute (45:44.449)
A of bangers.

Beard Laws (45:58.51)
kind of two big things that happened in 1983 is gonna be Michael Jackson, Thriller, an iconic album. I know I own it on vinyl. I've listened to it a lot. It dominated the chart, broke records and became again, probably I didn't look this up. I probably should, but this is the best selling album of all time, which I see Googling over

you know, while we're looking up that potentially, if not the best, one of the top selling albums of all time, Michael Jackson did his Billie Jean performance on TV on the special Motown 25 yesterday to get, know what he did, Goot? He did the

Beard Laws (46:40.789)

  1. You aren't kidding. Have you ever tried to moonwalk?

Gute (46:40.974)
change everyone's lives.

No, I can't do that. No? What?

Beard Laws (46:46.498)
Did you ever try though? Ever? Never in your life have you tried to moonwalk? Holy shit. I have.

Gute (46:52.302)
I didn't give a flying F, but I was like, it's not for me. It sold 70 million copies. To this day, it's one of the best selling albums ever. Compared to the list with Celine Dion, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Madonna, Whitney Houston, just…

Beard Laws (46:55.072)
No?

Beard Laws (47:13.518)
Yeah. So this is a list. don't know. I said it was last updated. This is ispytoons .com. It says Thriller, Michael Jackson, 72 million estimated sales, number one still. Then it was like ACDC, Eagles, like you said, Whitney Hughes, Pink Floyd, Meet Lil' Op, Eagles, Shania Twain. Didn't know that was going to be number eight. Fleetwood Mac rumors in the Bee Gees Saturday Night Fever. And our friends at Wicca Wicca Wikipedia. Yeah, Wikipedia has that as

Gute (47:31.203)
Mm.

Gute (47:38.542)
the hell of a year.

Beard Laws (47:43.086)
Thriller as well, Back in Black, Whitney Houston making a appearance here. A lot of good ones. A lot of people, think these that are going to like we talked about those small business record things looking for a lot of these and because of it, you get an original release of these. It's going to be worth some money. Interesting. Police, they released their first studio album in 83 hits like Every Breath You Take.

Everybody knows that. When do you listen to that to get pumped up to the gym?

Gute (48:15.058)
No, it still makes me laugh. It plays well, you know, in the office TV show, you know, they play that a lot. So a lot of police songs from

Beard Laws (48:24.206)
Yep. What else was there? Cindy Lauper Girls Just Want To Have Fun, 1983 Madonna debut album. She actually released her first title debut album, which had Holiday and Lucky Star. I wasn't a huge Madonna fan. mean, not nothing other than it just wasn't wasn't my jam. I was growing up listening to some much different music.

Gute (48:39.224)
here.

Gute (48:47.692)
We got burning down the house or talking heads. Yeah.

Beard Laws (48:50.294)
Love that one. Still gets played randomly. Burning down the house. Speaking of U2, those sons of bitches. War was released, their third studio album wasn't on an Apple product for free. Pushed out there, that was Sunday, bloody Sunday in New Year's Day. Didn't really get into them, even before it. Any of my… Don't hate them. Just don't love them. You know what I mean? I wasn't like, U2.

Gute (49:13.238)
It's just… I

Exactly.

Beard Laws (49:20.367)
There were some jams that, you know, come on, I'm going to sing. Probably the lyrics wrong, but I enjoy it.

Gute (49:24.012)
only in the car. Because I still listen to the radio in the car. So if I hear it on a random station, like, okay, that's it. I'm ahead to it. It's over to channel.

Beard Laws (49:30.356)
Mm -hmm. Yeah. David Bowie released Let's Dance reinvented himself with that album at China Girl and Modern Love. Sure, Burley would have made a joke in there. So use your Burley. Yeah. yeah. Culture Clubs, Karma Chameleon. Top the charts. That's still that still gets played in this house. That's still that'll still get you going. What else was there?

Gute (49:38.168)
Heck yeah.

Gute (49:43.838)
Love is a battlefield.

Gute (49:51.137)
Oof.

Gute (49:54.669)
Mm -hmm.

All night long.

Beard Laws (49:59.758)
Uptown Girl. that was there, 83. Lano Richie. Yeah, Rio, Duran Duran. That was a big hit. Def Leppard, Pyromania. That came out again, third studio album, had Photograph and Rock of Ages. Uptown Girl. That still gets played at a lot of bars and, you know, that still gets played around by Billy Joel. He was an animal. Prince.

Gute (50:03.746)
Lionel Richie.

Beard Laws (50:28.878)
1999 album or you know title track that was that was epic. What do you think of all of the songs that came out albums and everything which which one do you think would have been the one that Burley did a deep dive into?

Gute (50:36.664)
Good.

Gute (50:47.192)
Probably Michael Jackson. If it wasn't Michael Jackson, probably ACDC or maybe ZZ Top.

Beard Laws (50:47.351)
of all of them.

Beard Laws (50:51.854)
I thought maybe Metallica, Kill All. I think he's a Metallica guy. I'm not a huge Metallica guy, but that was a pretty goddamn good one. I don't know, maybe that was that. What was another good one? Africa by Toto. That came out in 83. That still comes down. Weezer, of course, gets a lot of love for their remake on

Gute (51:06.765)
Mmm.

Gute (51:11.5)
I don't bless the rains. I don't bless those rains because it causes hurricanes.

Beard Laws (51:16.526)
You are getting… Yeah, Houston's not loving those rains in Africa either. Which is kind of interesting because Here Comes the Rain Again was another hit of 1983. Yeah, I mean, and obviously we just mentioned Metallica all night long. Those were pretty much the 20 that I had. You had a couple more, right?

Gute (51:23.049)
No.

Gute (51:38.018)
yeah just a one -hit wonder you know Cruel Summers that still hits. You have Islands in the Stream by Dolly Parton I love you some Dolly Parton

Beard Laws (51:49.582)
Yeah, except for she kind of popularized the nine to five, still kind of pissed about that. Nobody wants to work nine to five, Dolly. Why couldn't you say, why can't you make like, you know, 10 to two? That'd be the perfect amount of work for everybody in their day. Seven to three, you know, something. Nine to five. Instead of, you know, guys like us, we work at least seven to five now. Really, really one up to their Dolly. Thanks.

Gute (51:55.405)
Ha!

Gute (52:01.378)
Yeah. Seven to three.

Gute (52:15.126)
Yeah, was. Yeah. You said you mentioned David Bowie earlier. I he had China Girl as well. That was one of his one hits that came off that album. Yeah, we pretty much hit them all. We Death Leopard photograph. So, you know, with everyone like the radio stations, we play the 80s and most 80s songs. It's one of them there.

Beard Laws (52:41.518)
Let's do this. I just pulled up the Wikipedia. Let's do the top 10 Billboard charts year end singles of 1983. Coming in at number 10. Sweet dreams are made of this. Then we have number, yep. Number nine, Maniac. He's a mania. Pretty good one. Number eight, Baby Come To Me by Patti Austin and James Ingram.

Gute (52:43.885)
Mm -hmm.

Gute (52:54.503)
Mm. To you, for a mix.

Beard Laws (53:08.824)
Burley I know you're gonna read this, you're gonna listen to this and you're gonna say why didn't I say this? I should have said this joke. Just picture yourself saying something dirty in Burley's voice. I don't know that song to be. I can't think of that song.

Gute (53:10.594)
You scream at the radio.

Gute (53:19.49)
We a video of… I don't know the song either. If I hear it, maybe I'll recognize it, but yeah. I just picture Burley just screaming at the radio right now.

Beard Laws (53:27.63)
This is it, I'm singing it. The rest of them I think we should know. Man Eater by Hall & Oates. Jam one. Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler. Beat It by Michael Jackson. A lot of sexual innuendos or whatever the right word is in the top 10 of 1983. Number four. Down Under by Men at

Gute (53:32.894)
yes.

Gute (53:45.441)
ladies.

Mm, still, I love that song.

Beard Laws (53:50.99)
That's a good one. Flashdance, What a Feeling, Irene Cara, know that one. Billie Jean, Michael Jackson, I might have heard of that. And Every Breath You Take by the Police was the number one top song ending 1983. Wowza. That's a I mean, even if you the chart that they have again, this is on Wikipedia, they have the hundred top one hundred. I mean, then you jump down. got Mr. Roboto by Styx, Mickey.

Gute (54:15.713)
I know.

Gute (54:19.342)
Take care.

Beard Laws (54:20.686)
Hey Mickey, you're so fine. The safety dance, Men Without Hats. Love that one. Obviously we mentioned 1999 already. Allentown, Billy Joel, Stanback, Stevie Nicks. Always something there to remind me by the naked eyes. Always something there to remind me. I mean, just so much good stuff. Men at Work again with Overkill. mean, Gloria by Laura Branigan. That's still a good one. Man.

Gute (54:25.58)
Mm -hmm.

Gute (54:31.371)
Oof.

Gute (54:49.634)
I love self control, that's my favorite song by her.

Beard Laws (54:52.704)
Yeah, I mean, All Right by Criss Cross. No, I'm just kidding. Christopher Cross. I always thought that was hilarious. I love Criss Cross. Wearing the pants backwards. You know what I mean? Criss with K and Cross. Rest in peace to one of them. But then you always had Christopher Cross. You know what I mean? Which obviously came out way before Criss Cross was even born. So every time I see Christopher Cross, I always have to try to make a joke about Criss Cross.

Gute (55:05.654)
Yeah.

Gute (55:19.064)
Do we match on Journey?

Beard Laws (55:21.678)
We don't think we had anything from Journey

Gute (55:23.096)
that's been journey because they had faithful and separate worlds

That was 1983, yeah.

Beard Laws (55:32.366)
Wow. Man, there's so much good stuff. mean, just so much stuff. Photograph, we already talked about. Frank Stallone, though. Can we give a shout out to Frank Stallone? Had far from over top 100 in 1983.

Gute (55:46.486)
He was in the movie with Mr. Mom. He was with Michael Keaton. I saw his name in the IMDB.

Beard Laws (55:54.033)
Younger brother Sylvester Stallone with some proud parents. actually have a couple of Frank Stallone vinyl album records, but yeah, a lot of good stuff. 1983. I think we're about ready to travel back. You got anything else you want to end it with? All right, let's jump back. Maybe not better times, but we're heading back. Here we go. Let's see if I think it should. I think it should warm

Gute (56:00.524)
guys.

Gute (56:09.164)
I'm all good. Let's get out of here.

Beard Laws (56:28.398)
It's working.

Beard Laws (56:35.246)
Goodbye, 83!

Beard Laws (56:45.678)
Quick little trip back to 2024. all right. Let's do the thing. We're going to say our goodbyes because I'm not going to go out. Yeah, I'm going to go back and watch me some Olympics. Big fan of the summer Olympics. Well, in between the recordings today, I went and watched the finals of the team archery, which was pretty cool. South Korea ended up having to like go to I think with their overtime or whatever. It was pretty cool.

Beard Laws (57:40.546)
They say things come in threes, Goot, and I'm a little bit worried because there's only two of us that were pretty beat up. So I want you to stay safe out there. Rob, stay safe out there. And I'm going to try my best. I'm going to stretch out really good and go play some pickleball. And hopefully it's not me. That's the third. I don't want it to be anything. I don't want to be any of us, but either way.

Gute (57:48.59)
