- Okay. So Paul Rudd then, or Paul Rudd now?
(laughter)
What's up y'all?
So it's officially April and almost Taurus season
which means it's almost my 40th birthday,
which I'm very excited about.
(DJ airhorn) I'm turning 40 y'all.
I was an eighties child.
I was born in '82.
The eighties was really a rad time,
but there's also so many things about living right now
that I do absolutely love,
that I'm not sure I could live without,
I mean, I'm sure I could but I wouldn't want to.
So I'm going to play the ultimate game of This or That,
eighties versus now.
Tubular.
(upbeat music)
Okay. So crimped hair from the eighties or blow out now?
Um, if you don't choose crimped, we can't be friends.
Who doesn't pick crimp hair?
Crimping is always cool.
Especially if you crimp with braids
and like a little, it's just kind of wild.
That's my favorite look.
Original Star Wars or modern Star Wars.
Look, I don't wanna upset anybody,
but I've only seen the original Star Wars.
Talking for hours on a corded landline
like you're in Roseanne or cell phone and video chat?
You know what?
I'm gonna go ahead and say it was
No, I was gonna say I like the, the landline,
I think that was cool.
But then like you had to share your house,
like everybody would jump on.
That was annoying.
So, so I would say video chat not even cell phone,
I'm really into Face Timing.
I or the like, texting with like just talking into it.
Like, I don't wanna take time to type anymore,
and I don't wanna, it's like the easier technology makes it,
like why would we not lean in?
I'm a big fan of that.
I FaceTime probably my mom and sister every day.
Okay.
Heart throbs then, oh, that's like Keauna Reeves.
Rob Lowe, Brad Pitt, John Bonjovi, Robert Downey Jr.
Robert Downey Jr's still now.
There's a lot of these that are still now.
John Cusack. Aw.
Heart throbs now.
Ooh, Chris Hemsworth, Jason Mamoa, oh my God
Timothy, Okay.
Robert. Ooh.
I mean just put those beautiful worlds together.
Let's just call it fantasy island shall we?
Like it's like,
men, y'all do get some of you get better with age.
Oh God.
I'm in between.
I think my favorites here might be Robert Downey Jr.
And Jason Momoa.
I think he's adorable
because he was really sweet with my kids.
And I was like, that's nice.
I like him.
I mean, mean heartthrobs are heartthrobs
whether you were in Bop magazine or People.
Making a mix tape or making a Spotify playlist?
Absolutely making a mix tape.
It's something tangible.
Don't you miss when you could just hold things.
I loved a mix tape.
Colorful eighties, active wear.
Look at that like Let's Get Physical picture.
This was the original Beyonce move, it feels like,
this eighties thing. Yeah.
Single ladies.
This is where her inspiration was from,
or matching modern, active wear.
I'm gonna say that's a little crazy.
The eighties, it was a lot of color coming at you at once.
I did like a leg warmer though.
But I'm gonna have to say modern active wear.
There's better like sucking you in parts.
Like with spandex now.
Maybe not matching.
Classic animations.
Ooh. Or Disney Pixar today.
Here's the thing I love today's animation.
I think it is really rad.
I like how more broad it is too, and inclusive.
But I will say, I think those songs were just so epic
from back in the day, other than like
actually there's some really great songs there recently too.
Especially like Encanto.
I know that whole, but I don't.
I think it's maybe
because I was a child when I learned like Lion King
like Beauty and the Beast, like all those things.
Like I think I, it was just the age thing.
So I think I'm always gonna go classic Disney.
Yep. But I do love the current stuff
'cause I watch a lot of it with my kids
and I watch even when they leave the room sometimes.
Okay, the excitement getting a role of film developed.
Oh my gosh. That's so true.
Or photos instantly available on your phone.
Here's why I'm gonna say eighties
because we have so many photos on our phone.
What are we gonna do with them?
What are we doing with them?
Why do we keep taking pictures?
We don't make books.
You say you're gonna make a book,
who has time to make all these books?
We have a lot of photos.
We're always like capturing everything
as if it's not valid unless we picture
it's like why don't you just use your mind sometimes people,
I don't understand, like just enjoy the moment.
Like you don't always have to have your phone out.
I sound 40, whatever.
But anyway, I will say developing film.
The greatest part of that
was you would find rolls from who knows when.
And it would just be in some box randomly in your closet
and you'd be like, what's on here.
And then it's exciting 'cause you go get it developed.
And you're like, oh I did have fun at that party.
Okay. So Paul Rudd then or Paul Rudd now.
(laughs)
You should know this about me,
I don't like boyish looks.
I like men
with like salt and pepper.
I like a grown ass man. Okay?
I don't want to feel like I'm possibly babysitting you.
So yeah.
I don't like like the clean shaven, that's not my thing.
So definitely Paul Rudd now.
Yep.
Going to the mall or shopping online?
Here is why I'm gonna say shopping online.
Because when I went to the mall in the eighties, I was poor.
So there's a thing and it's called window shopping
and it's when you go to the mall and pretend you have money
but you literally just walk by all the stores
and look at the pretty displays in the windows.
So yeah.
I'm gonna say shopping online is great.
Especially for like a single mom.
It's nice.
Right? Okay.
I don't have time to like, just keep running out to Target
or whatever, like back and forth.
It's just nice. It comes to your house.
It's nice.
Going to blockbuster on a Friday night
or streaming movies at home?
Streaming movies at home is pretty great.
'Cause it's just access quickly.
But I will say I did always love when we go to Blockbuster
because they always had candy.
And you could get like Junior Mints
or like Twizzlers sometimes.
And I always loved returning them.
My mom would be like, okay before you go to like,
the grocery store which it was right next to, Albertson's,
and I would run in, and I loved that little thing.
It felt like I was in London giving mail to someone.
(laughs)
Okay. Things only eighties kids would know.
Here we go.
Oh these are slap bracelets.
(laughs)
Oh my God.
Isn't it funny that this was a thing?
You like have to beat your wrist with something.
And then it wraps around and we were like,
these are awesome.
I like snap bracelets.
Those were pretty cool.
Oh my God, Trapper Keepers.
I just got images of Lisa Frank and unicorns and dolphins.
Like they, they were ever
or cats, they would have and lasers.
I loved a Trapper Keeper.
I literally just heard the sound of it,
the Velcro in my head, like while saying Trapper Keeper.
I was really big on covering my books as well.
Remember we used to do that?
You'd cover your books.
I don't know why, but like I just use old newspapers.
And then, what you'd find out is that that bleeds
on everything especially when it rains
when you live in Texas.
But I found that out a little too late.
What?
(laughs)
This is amazing if your like tape came out of the cassette
and then you'd wanna wind it back in there,
and you'd do the little, brrrr.
That is something only a person 40 would know.
What I used to do with my cassettes, this is before Napster
and like downloading music,
'cause you could press play/record
and you could also push this little thing in on your tape
and you could record your voice on to-
That's my very first demo.
That's how I did it on a cassette.
But so basically I think what we've learned here today
is sometimes that classic nostalgia, you can't beat it.
And I often think it's also
because it was something that relates to your memory bank.
So it's like special.
But also I think that technology is cool
but sometimes it takes-
it's too much and you, and it takes away some-
even the photos y'all- we don't -
what are we doing with all of them?
I don't know.
Anyway, I think I'm gonna go print some out though
and put them up in my house.
Now that we're talking about it.
But let me know in the comments, what you would choose
and subscribe to my channel for more radical content dudes.
Nice. Nice. I like it.
(laughter off camera)
All right.
Have a good one, y'all.
(laughs)
