WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:07.679 Electronics. I'm sure now, folks, I am showing this on the video 2 00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:12.000 version. I always posting pictures on my social media as you can see what 3 00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:14.679 I'm talking about. My house. We want to go to James Lot Junior 4 00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:17.399 where you follow me. But also at the end of the show, I'm 5 00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:21.000 going to show these also. But this is a walkman see through walk. 6 00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:25.000 I was thinking about this as I'm older. This is fifty plus of course 7 00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:29.000 from James Lott Jnr. You know, as we get older, I get 8 00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:32.600 a little nostalgic for the old days. And I didn't experiment last night. 9 00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:43.320 So I don't have oh that's nice night text on me. So I didn't. 10 00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:46.399 So I don't have a car anymore. So I don't have a car 11 00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:48.840 where I can I listen serve radio or nothing. And a lot of my 12 00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:54.960 friends who have cars literally goes to the radio. Isn't either Pandora or Spotify 13 00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:59.399 or serious they have they have satellite or whatever service. And I was like, 14 00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:00.679 think, what to stay with that going. I remember listening to the 15 00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:03.480 radio growing up, and your radio was big for me, and I was 16 00:01:03.519 --> 00:01:07.879 on the radio back in the day and all stuff, and so I said, 17 00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:12.159 okay, it was late last night and I was reading and I was 18 00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:15.799 just kind of relaxing. I sat'ma turn on the radio. Now I have 19 00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:22.000 you can't see it here, it's way over there. It's like right that 20 00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:26.840 thing there that's actually the receiver for radio, and those are the chief speakers. 21 00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:30.879 And I'm cleaning up my house when that's like stuff everywhere. I'm doing 22 00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:36.079 the house. But I that has actually works plugged in. I have a 23 00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.640 lot of leg trys that are pluged in. I have an eight track player 24 00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.319 that's plugged in and works. I have a laser displayer. I have a 25 00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:46.680 VCR and DVD. I have all the old tricks, walk bins, disbands, 26 00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:51.480 whatever. I have all that stuff that works. So I played vinyl, 27 00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:53.920 I play cassettes, I play tapes, I play albums and like CDs 28 00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:59.120 all this stuff. And but anyway, so I've been going shopping with a 29 00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:02.439 friend of mine the last few months to all these records. We were visiting 30 00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:07.359 all these records, actual record stores in southern California, and it's been a 31 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:12.319 lot of fun. It's been a lot of fun. Places like Atomic Records 32 00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.840 or sound Station Records here in Westchester. There's all these places. We just 33 00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:20.039 going everywhere doing this stuff. It's a lot of fun. And because I 34 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:25.240 have stuff that works, I literally can buy any piece of media and it 35 00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:30.520 would work for me. But it's a lot of nostalgia. My friend and 36 00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:32.680 I are looking for all music, not new music, but all music on 37 00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:44.400 these platforms, trying to build up our our music libraries again. And oh 38 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.599 and so I said last night, I'm gonna listen to the radio. It's 39 00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:53.360 nighttime. So that's fine because I remember telling a story on another show about 40 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:55.800 we come to La. You're coming on this show. I can't remember this, 41 00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:59.840 this series can't remember we come to La my friends show, I come 42 00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:02.759 down. We conserved radio all the way down. But then we would listen 43 00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:07.719 to the radio here on that plane. We come to my house. I 44 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:09.400 didn't live here yet, but I come to the house and I would go 45 00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:14.919 there, turn it on, and then a thing called Disco Saturday Night on 46 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:17.520 K one on four, KP one on four, and we turn on get 47 00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:21.599 Ready with disco music. We get ready to get nap eat whatever, and 48 00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:27.439 then go out. Oh my god. So the first step was, Okay, 49 00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.360 I'm gonna go listen to the radio. I don't know what stations are 50 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.759 on anymore. I really don't. That's the first thing. I used to 51 00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:37.840 know every station. It was well here in California, kiss FM, kd 52 00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:43.800 A Y Power one oh six ninety eight point one, Carrits one on one, 53 00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:49.520 Like I knew all the mighty six ninety ninety three. So I think 54 00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:52.199 it's five. I mean I knew all I knew all of them. I 55 00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:57.120 knew all of them one on three point one. K i QQ always says, 56 00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:00.199 well, of course things have changed since then. There are a few 57 00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:03.159 that Paraosic is still there, and Kissing Fred was still there and cares when 58 00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:08.159 I want to still there, But all the rest I have no idea. 59 00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.479 And I was trying to find back well back in the day is how old 60 00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:14.080 I am. Back in the day. He used to have a New Age 61 00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.920 station. I'd like listen to something solid it's nighttime, or I was trying 62 00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:19.160 to find a jazz station. I had no I mean, I was going 63 00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:23.240 up and down the aisle. I'm like, I don't know whereas what I 64 00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:28.319 found a jazz station. But I want to say, it's like ninety something. 65 00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:32.399 There's that dead end of the dial. And I later played it and 66 00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:36.519 it was funny. There's a lot less commercials. I know it's in the 67 00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:41.199 old days. It was very much just played and the jay would come on 68 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:44.639 and said that was so and so and so and so a few commercials played. 69 00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:47.240 It was kind of nice. It was like it might be the old 70 00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:50.000 days. Listen to the radio, just like listen to the radio on and 71 00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:54.759 wait for that sonic one. You're like, I didn't. I didn't pick 72 00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.800 one because I could have picked cares one on one because they'll play songs that 73 00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:00.279 I know, but I think it kissing all them. They have songs I 74 00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:02.240 don't even know what they are anymore. I was like, that's another thing 75 00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:05.959 too. As we get older, it's like, wow, there's this point 76 00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:12.120 where you just age out, and it's okay to age out. It is, 77 00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.720 but I try to still stay a little hip with it. I might 78 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:17.720 be just saying that makes me not hip or with it, but I like 79 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:23.240 to I like to sometimes hear what's going on. I used to go to 80 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:26.199 YouTube. We're talking to young kids, you no tell me, and occasionally 81 00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:31.120 there's a song or two that's that's out there. I like this new but 82 00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:34.519 it's just like just to take it back to the old memories and I'm happy 83 00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:41.480 that I have all these electronics that still work. It's very cool. There 84 00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:46.560 are some things that were only released on cassette or on album, or on 85 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:48.920 a track or on you know. It's a certain things, a certain things. 86 00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:53.480 So it's very It's very because I can actually have them with my collections. 87 00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:57.360 If you guys are asking for me, I'm mainly trying to build up. 88 00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.959 We rebuild up my print collection Michael Michael Jackson Jackson's collection or don a 89 00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:04.240 collection. We're spreensing collection. I have certain collections of people I like. 90 00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:09.279 I had a lot of stuff, lost stuff on fire, lost stuff and 91 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.639 moves. So now I'm trying to regain it. Sold a few things back 92 00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:15.079 in the day when I need money, so I'm trying to get it all 93 00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:17.040 back. And so it's been going. I've been going on memorying a lot. 94 00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:19.839 And my birthday's two months from now, and I'm talking about reflecting on 95 00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:25.199 that too. Always it's your birthday makes you reflect on things too, So 96 00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:27.639 it's kind of like all that together. It's like, oh, and I 97 00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:30.439 have all this stuff mixed with this. I'm like, I'm talking to you 98 00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:33.639 on here my iPod, but I have all the I have, like I 99 00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:39.279 have like the updated stuff. MyPhone has stuff on it. It's a it's 100 00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:43.639 a trip. It's just it's really it's a trip. And uh, I 101 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.920 have all the new technology with the Aldaur DVR that kind of stuff, but 102 00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:50.079 I do have the old technology and I like it. I have regular Beats 103 00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:54.279 headphones. I shouldn't say anything doing there. They were expensive, regular, 104 00:06:54.600 --> 00:07:00.519 but they're like headphones. I had the Bluetooth headphones too. I don't earbuds 105 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:01.600 all that kind of stuff, so I aftually had phones. So I'm old 106 00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:08.920 school on that too. And it's just it's it's it's part nostalgia, part 107 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:14.839 holding on to the younger years. And my mom was still into her audio 108 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.759 books, like literally the cassettes or the DVDs, and they had a car 109 00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:23.319 that played cassettes and they would play the cassettes. Me, it's kind of 110 00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:25.959 cool, actually, it's kind of it's really, I don't think it's going 111 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:32.600 on. And it's been fun going to these record stores and seeing people as 112 00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:35.399 long as stelling to time machines. Yet you're in today's time. A lot 113 00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:40.759 of kids are younger and their stuff, and they're really enjoying vinyl. They're 114 00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:45.160 really enjoying the cassettes, and I said, there's the whole is a documentary 115 00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:47.519 called Cassette. I think I saw an HBO maxay thing came right. You 116 00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:50.120 look at them, try to find it. But it's about the rebirth of 117 00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:57.120 cassettes. The cassettes, I mean, they're not the most they're portable, 118 00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:03.000 but they're not the most parents to other stuff, vinyls big and bulky, 119 00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:05.480 we big and stuff. But it's it's people think it's better and not vinyls 120 00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.720 are you know for years it's been going on. It's it's like if it's 121 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:18.439 not these mediums are done as much as we advance. People also like nostallgia. 122 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.439 I guess that's what it is, and it's up to us older folks 123 00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:26.879 and so the younger ones who are influenced by as you, I guess, 124 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.960 participate in that. So it's just it's like, she smile. I actually 125 00:08:31.960 --> 00:08:35.559 have not listened to the sheds I bought it. I put batteries in it. 126 00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:37.919 I should listen to it at some points and put it in bay and 127 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.240 see what it sounds like. I ice to walk around the walk man. 128 00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:43.960 When I was in high school, I had a starny walkman, so I 129 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:46.960 guess I should do it and see what it feels like. And that's one 130 00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:50.639 actually has a radio on it. I'm like again, I'm like, what, 131 00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:54.039 Oh, that's so funny. I love it. Anyway, do you 132 00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:58.000 have anything like that? It's the charger for you. That's you know, 133 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.480 you're trying to keep hold onto you. I don't collect a lot of stuff, 134 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:05.000 but like I said, electronics, they still work. I keep them. 135 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.240 They don't work and get rid of them, but they still work. 136 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:09.200 I keep them, and I and I try to use sometimes I'm I use 137 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:16.159 my DVD sometimes my tapes and my my my tapes. I watch stuff on 138 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:22.320 there. Chief sometimes not everything is out on prints. Some things are out 139 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:26.720 of print, some things have not been transferred over into later versions. So 140 00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:30.240 there's so much you can't find online, really can't. But I als also 141 00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:33.200 another thing to you before I let you guys go. The other thing is 142 00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:37.559 I've been going online to eBay and to declutter and to all these places that 143 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:43.240 actually you can find. I was on line on ig and there's a song 144 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:48.159 I never heard before by an artist I like, and I went to eBay 145 00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:50.799 there was so I was selling it and I bought it. So it's coming, 146 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.480 it's heading to me, so I'm like, it's just kind of it's 147 00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:56.919 a whole. I love it. It's just I love it. If I 148 00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:58.080 go back. I don't want to go back in time, but I like 149 00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:03.000 some of the stuff back in time as much as we advance and like stuff. 150 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:07.360 I'm Jameson Junior. It's fifty Bluss. I'm fifty Bluss. Talk to 151 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:07.879 you next time.
