No, sounds like some of those 70s hallucinogenics are going around the room, you know what I mean?

Oh, I don't know for a fact anything, but yeah, your mama certainly didn't want you to go to this party and she was probably right.

If Barry Manilow is an Iraq star, I don't know who is.

I

agree with you

100%.

Yeah, you

So what's going on, D-Man?

I want to add to the lineup of the throwback Thursday for the 70s.

OK.

How about some BTO?

And that's exactly how it's spelled.

Y, apostrophe, A-I-N, apostrophe T, yanked.

You're right on, man.

I know.

Right on.

There's a 70s cliche.

We're talking cliches, you know, D-man.

Well, Mr. Professor, I'm trying to, uh, yeah, just leave the conversation like you set it up.

There you go.

Right on, man.

Groovy, dude.

Far out.

You bet.

You continue making that difference because you are a star.

You know that.

Oh, stop it.

Stop it.

You just keep on trucking.

Oh, I'm going to crank up all the radios now that I've talked

to

you.

I'm going to crank them all up right now.

Good morning, Mike.

Carrie from Dicer.

How are you?

I'm doing quite well on this

beautiful morning.

I am just in seventh heaven hearing that from you.

Oh, well, thank you.

You make my life worth living, Mike.

You light up my life.

I was hoping I was going to get serenaded because D-Man did.

Yeah, he did.

So I was like,

OK.

I

had to sing Mandy for D-Man.

It just makes sense.

And for you, Debbie Boone.

Which is the cheesier artist, Carrie?

Debbie Boone.

Yeah, probably.

Boy, they're pretty.

They're both pretty cheesy.

Yes.

All right.

Well, what do you got?

Dicert's own, Carrie.

Are you ready?

Hold on.

Let me get firmly in my chair.

Okay.

Yeah, I mean, do my best impression of this and I'm probably gonna screw it up horribly, but it's okay.

Well, lucky for you, you've cushioned us for the terrible impression.

So now, no matter what you do, we're fine.

Okay, good.

Yeah.

Up your nose with a rubber hose.

Yeah, that was, man.

Oh, oh, oh, Miss Akata, Miss Akata!

If I didn't know this was you I could have swore that I like Vinnie Vinnie Bobarino Vinnie Bobarino and

who

is Shaq?

We're right there with you Can I try one?

I know,

sure.

Hi there.

Hi?

Freddy Boom Boom Washington.

He

was always Hi

there.

I don't remember dad.

What?

Aw.

How

about a ba ba ba ba barino a

ba ba

ba ba

I know I'm sorry.

I was young then.

What do you remember?

Oh, that was like one of the most annoying things.

But I thank you for those two.

I mean, those two are probably the best known.

There you go.

But do you know what the response is to up your nose with a rubber hose?

Twice as tall with a chocolate dog.

Very good.

One out of three ain't bad.

You don't get meatloaf, but maybe I'll give you a little hamburger helper.

I don't have meatloaf, but I get it.

I understand.

Well,

that's the runner-up price.

You know, you don't get the actual meatloaf.

I think hamburger helper was Meatloaf's backup band.

I think you're right.

I

think

I am

because that's the jingle hamburger helper helped meet loaf sing a great album

Yeah gag

me with a spoon or gag me right out the door

I've

never heard that one

That sounds violent.

Well, it was one of the ones that me and my girlfriends back in the 80s used to flip around.

There are so many of the 80s cliches in the song, Valley Girl.

We'll have to do that.

How about?

Yeah, because that's where I think a lot of them came from was Valley Girl.

Just a teenager in the 80s that that one has always stuck with me and I'm 53 years old now.

You know, while I throw that out and everybody looks at me like, what the hell's wrong with you?

Valley Girl, she's a Valley Girl.

Yeah,

let's do

that.

Okay, thank

you,

Mike.

So when did dude come

out?

When did people start saying dude?

Yeah, hey dude.

Hey dude.

You

know,

it

was a long time ago.

I mean, it got really big in the 80s.

I'm gonna, you know what I'm gonna do?

I'm gonna get out my trusty friend Google.

Dude, origin story.

When they started smoking pot.

Yeah, you think dude was just born out of weed?

Is that what you're saying?

Yeah.

Yeah, I don't think so, man.

Dude, it came out.

Here's what Google's telling me.

Are you listening?

Okay.

Okay.

1880s, 1890s in like newspapers, dude was a new word for dandy.

an extremely well-dressed male.

So that's what it

really

means.

It doesn't mean that anymore, of course.

No, hasn't for a long time.

I know.

I mean, people will say dude to women, men.

Like I always say, if you're into Pink Floyd, regular fans will call them Pink Floyd, big fans will call them Floyd, and then the fanatics, the people really into Pink Floyd call them dude.

Floyd.

That's where dude comes in, you know?

It's like, if you really want to stress something, you know, it's like, dude, that's cool.

Or maybe just dude.

Everything you want to say in one word.

It's like, dude.

And it's how you say it.

You know, you could be upset with somebody.

It's like, dude.

Or just think they're the coolest person in the world.

It's like, dude.

You know, it's one of those words.

It's one of those all.

Inclusive.

Dude.

Totally.

Totally.

So there we go.

We've all learned a little something about dude.

Yeah, have a good day.

All right, you too, dude.

Yeah.

Weekday mornings, 5.30 to

10.
