Hi, Welcome to 2 00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:12.960 fifty plus, my little mini series I'm doing on every ten years leading up 3 00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:16.920 to today twenty twenty three.

We could check out seventy three to eighty three, and now we're 8 00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:39.320 on ninety three, And just like the others, I'm telling you little about 9 00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:44.439 me, also the big the top movies, video, top movies, TV 10 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:48.359 shows, albums and songs of that year. And I'm also showing a personal 11 00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:51.359 picture of myself of that year. And I'm in here somewhere, and I'm 12 00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:54.719 choosing this picture on purpose. If you're listening to me, you can't see 13 00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:57.799 it, but it's a picture of me and three of my friends. And 14 00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:00.960 the reason why I show this picture from nineteen ninety three in an apartment I 15 00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:07.799 lived in. We all moved to San Francisco at the same time. We 16 00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:11.959 had all lived various places. We moved in together for a bit, and 17 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:17.239 this was us having just one of our dinners. We were so young. 18 00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:25.760 I was I was thirty four years old at this picture and we were just 19 00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:30.040 having it. We were just we were like, not thirty four, I 20 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.519 was twenty four. I'm like, hold, I was twenty four at this 21 00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:38.719 picture and we were all just living life. We were in San Francisco. 22 00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:42.040 We were so excited, we couldn't believe it. And well, we've all 23 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:45.760 gone in separate ways in terms of where we live. I still still talked 24 00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:48.599 to one person in a group. The other two I haven't touching a long 25 00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:52.799 time, but hoping doing well. But that was me a long time ago 26 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.840 and land far away. We had moved to San Francisco and I was coming 27 00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:02.120 from Sacramento. I was co raising my little girl, Monica Lisia still and 28 00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:06.200 I go to second all the time for that where they come to San Francisco 29 00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:09.759 and my friend Nick and I was in that picture. We got a two 30 00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:13.599 bedroom flat. It was long, it's huge walking in the south the market 31 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:19.159 area or the Mission area of San Francisco, and uh, he got We 32 00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:22.479 were both looking for jobs. He moved here first. Then I moved a 33 00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:27.520 month or so later, and then I looked for a job while he was 34 00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.000 looking for one. Two. I got a job right away, actually at 35 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:35.000 a place called Cafe Salamagundy. Don't ask me what that means. I can't 36 00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:39.639 remember, but it was a super place. They served soups and bread balls 37 00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:43.400 and stuff. And I had to go work early in the morning, the 38 00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.120 morning shift, the opening shift. The guy guess to get it ready and 39 00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:50.199 then for lunch rush i'd be off. And that's my first job. And 40 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:55.560 I worked across from the famous Treasury building on Market Street. I worked in. 41 00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:00.840 It was one Market Street is where I worked, and it was inside. 42 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:05.000 It was on the first floor. The top floors were all businesses. 43 00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:08.039 The first floor were restaurants, and then it was also this area there was 44 00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:13.280 like a food court. And that's what I worked in good Court. And 45 00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:15.360 now it's a short job. I had it for I don't know. I 46 00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:17.240 can't remember how many months I was there, but I was there. I 47 00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:20.879 was something with it right now. I ran across from my past dubs. 48 00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:23.039 Recently, I was like, oh, I still have it. But I 49 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:29.240 was first, just I was first back, first on a cashier. I 50 00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:35.159 didn't make the soup or anything a brand, and I worked there. I 51 00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.759 was there, I thing about five months I think, because yeah, I 52 00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:43.240 guess about four or five months. And then a drawer care I was shorting 53 00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:50.400 to accuse me of stealing, which I didn't steal it, and I left. 54 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:53.039 I was like, I quit before they can even fire me. I 55 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.879 was like, I just like quit. And then I went to look for 56 00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:01.960 another job, and I went across the mall area and I went to Camelot 57 00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:10.879 Music, and Camelop Music said we have we have no locations here with any 58 00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:13.520 openings. We went out in daily city. I'm like, where's that at? 59 00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:19.600 And back then the BART system, which is the the s is some 60 00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:23.720 thing to go all the way out there throughout the city. So I had 61 00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:27.120 tak a bart to a bus to a bus, got to Sarahmancy Center, 62 00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:30.000 which is a big center there, and a plot went in and I got 63 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:33.480 the job. Well first I went in there like, well, well think 64 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:35.720 about it, bla blah blah. I got home and I got a phone 65 00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:40.519 call. I had a job, and so literally I think it was how 66 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:43.279 I was about a job for maybe like a couple of days I remember correctly, 67 00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:47.079 and I had a new job Alsrey Popper Sarway some money. They knew 68 00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:50.519 me in there and and we had a good time. And but I was 69 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:57.879 just I mean those kind of jobs, they always had bad management. We 70 00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:00.519 were all overworked and underpaid, you know, all that, all that stuff, 71 00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:05.040 and but they're going to camelop music. That changed my actually whole life 72 00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:09.680 in terms of the rest of my life the rest of that decade. So 73 00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.759 made good friends and I'm still friends with to this day. Shout out to 74 00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:18.680 Andrew Michelle and had a whoby life after that. I was dating somebody at 75 00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:23.759 the time from Sacramento and we moved to Sara together. So we were still 76 00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:29.439 together at this time, and I think is that everything. And I had 77 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:33.560 a little cat bat Bat she was she was mixed, but kind of kind 78 00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:36.560 of stuck with me in my room. I had the back room back after 79 00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:42.519 the room. We're paying nine fifty for our two bedroom plays. But then 80 00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:45.000 our friends came, Tara and Dan, we were in the picture and they 81 00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:47.079 stayed up. A lot of folks stayed in our house at some point, 82 00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:50.439 but we had but we it was I was there six years and I went 83 00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:55.680 on my own, but it was it was a fun time. Were young, 84 00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:59.800 young, and tender, watched the clubs, had a good time. 85 00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:01.800 I was learning, we're trying to nav get our way in this big this 86 00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:06.079 big city in San Francisco. But I always say, because by the time, 87 00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:09.240 well, we'll still be when we get to twenty, we get to 88 00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:13.160 twenty. Now two thousand and three will still be in San Francisco. But 89 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:17.360 I will just say this, we get a twenty thirteen will be different story. 90 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:25.160 But I will say that I grew up in Sacramento and in San Francisco. 91 00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:28.639 I'm from Los Angeles, I was raised and you know we're here, 92 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:32.199 but I grew up in those two cities. In San Francisco taught me a 93 00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:41.120 lot about myself in so many great ways. Anyway, that's that's that's that's 94 00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:44.160 kind of my personal part of this. Now I'm going to give you some 95 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.399 of the things that are going to have time.

Oka, I'm gonna do the top eleven shows, the top 172 00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:09.519 eleven shows of the ninety three ninety four season. Now I always say this, 173 00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:13.440 I could have done ninety two ninety three season. The reason why do 174 00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:18.399 ninet three ninety four season because that's actually the beginnings. I'm talking about twenty 175 00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:20.799 nine ninety three, nine ninety two, so it's the beginning of the season 176 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:24.159 going into twenty nine to the next year. So I'm choosing to do that 177 00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:28.759 season and not the other season ending ninety three. Just low, just a 178 00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:35.159 choice. And number eleven is murder, she wrote CBS. Number ten is 179 00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:39.600 the CBS Sunday Morning Sunday Movie. I love CBS Sunday Morning actually, but 180 00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:45.799 the CBS Sunday Movie at CBS. And number nine is Murphy Brown CBS Go 181 00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:48.000 on CBS, The Tiffany Company, Working it Out, Ray Brown's Bomb. 182 00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:56.320 Number eight Monday Night Football ABC. Number seven, the show that's back and 183 00:14:56.360 --> 00:15:00.399 on Paramount Plus and I'm loving it. I love the show. I love 184 00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:03.679 it, love it, love it. And number seven is Frasier NBC. 185 00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:05.879 I'm Black in the new version. Number six, the show I Think It's 186 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:11.720 Underrated Coach ABC. Number five would show that if she hadn't messed up her 187 00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:16.519 life, I think it could have gone on to be a really continued success. 188 00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:20.840 She was. It was huge out the gate. Brett Butler was such 189 00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:24.480 a funny person. Some people saw it as a Roseanne knockoff of some sorts, 190 00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:28.120 but I thought it was really good. And it's Grace Underfire, That's 191 00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:33.759 what ABC. And that was literally a huge hit. And right above the 192 00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:39.399 number four its Roseanne ABC. I know people think she's crazy, all that 193 00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:43.159 stuff and all that, all that, but that all aside. The show. 194 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:46.200 Roseanne was the bomb. That show was the bomb, and it was 195 00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:50.240 like nothing else, number three, Sein Failed NBC, a show that I 196 00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:54.000 loved. I mean, I find myself busting up all the time. Home 197 00:15:54.080 --> 00:16:00.759 Improvement was number two ABC and the number one show. But I still watch 198 00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:03.840 it the number one show, and it's it's a fifty fifth, fifty sixth 199 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:12.399 season or whatever it is. Sixty minutes CBS, O crazy, that's someone 200 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:15.799 show. That's the number one show of nineteen ninety four here in America. 201 00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:22.480 So those are your stats. Nice thinty three. For me again, it 202 00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:27.039 was a year of new beginnings. I was in a new place. I 203 00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:33.639 was going to start a new life. I was in my mid twenties and 204 00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:36.080 raid and raid a rock and roll and just see what's going out and see 205 00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:38.120 what my next destiny was going to be. So I think back in the 206 00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:41.879 time, going wow, it's it's one of my most It's one of my 207 00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:45.279 transformative years, one of the years I did change. I think this thing 208 00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:48.679 is making it worse. Oh on, here, put that off. Oh 209 00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:55.200 we turned something else better, although I do make it better. Oh no, 210 00:16:55.840 --> 00:17:00.919 God like that, Okay, sometimes likes shames with lights. And so 211 00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:06.119 it's one of those years. Because the next year we get to twenty thirteen, 212 00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:11.519 We're gonna be a transformed a year for me. It's a few years 213 00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:17.039 off by transformative year and then twenty twenty three or end. It has been 214 00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:19.839 a year of years as I said, So we're getting there. I'm James 215 00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:26.079 Logia fifty pluses on all audio stream platforms.
