You got a problem with the Instagram Where to the listeners?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
It just seems like there's always two to three of
them in the lineup, and they're looking at us, like,
who the hell are these guys? Why are we at
the Van's headquarters? How long do I have to sit here?
I want to win eleven thousand dollars. I'm not interested
in great sports talk.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
You didn't give anything to the early people, and now
you want to call out the people that don't even
know the show.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Yes, yes, you young Native American man who dominated Papa
shot at the David Busters in Arcadia. How dare you?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Over a decade ago, we still haven't forgotten that interloper.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
No, not okay, you're not included in this. This is
a private party. Who do you think you are?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
It's time for the final hour fun fast put in effect,
it's yeah, we're three fasts.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
In fact, at the nineteen fifty two Helsinki Olympic Games,
Jos Barthel a talented runner from Luxembourg.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
That's how they say it, Bartal. If you're from Luxembourg,
well there's a tooth girl from Luxembourg.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Right there between Finland and Germany.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Just like Nick. There's an ancient there.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
He was the longest of long shots, but he won
the fifteen hundred. He won gold.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Luxembourg pasts it out like that Morrissey guy. Right, he'd
come out too fast, start barking at people. Next thing
we got manbun wins American man bun takes it.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Up to that point, Luxembourg had only won a silver
medal in their past. It was such a surprise the
organizers had not prepared a recording of the Luxembourg national
anthem Oh no, So they basically looked at the orchestra
and said, play something luxombs. So they just improvised a
(04:03):
random melody. Well we have it as this guy, we
have Ronnie and I are gonna say it right now.
I think Ronnie has it writing frightening verse two book
too good, looksome bug, ask.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Me, ask me, ask me, ask me, ask me, ask me.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Yeah, that's what they played, asked spending Walls. Like when
you there's no audio to the video. When you watch him,
he's like crying, like really crying. He's like is he
in disbelief? Or is he like the hell is his soul?
Their playing a big country man. It still remains the
(04:41):
only Olympic gold in Luxembourg's history. Nineteen fifty two, Helsinki,
fifteen hundred, Josie Barte.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
And imagine if Morrisey never asked that guy to be
gay with him, we would never have this moment together.
Touch me now, quick, hits everybody ms quick hitch. I'll
make it quick, y'all. Oh yeah, Dodgers lost today and
they played defense like phonies. They were like a phony
(05:12):
phone call at Vic's house. Put a freaking.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Yesterday, Key betson right field, she came her and then
it's at third days out on and today Daniel Hudson
on the mound signing aks to use my feet and
kick these balls.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
You don't know what it's like to be the back.
The Angels are fifty two and sixty nine. They've lost
three in a row. They're off today. They host the
Bravos tomorrow night at the Big A. According to an
ESPN report, MLB is thinking about a rule that requires
starting pictures to work at least six innings in a game.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Ah, that's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Dave Roberts said, No, it's like when the old Spice
got taken. Dave Roberts, No, that's not cool. The only
exceptions to the proposed six inning minimum could include throwing
one hundred pitches, give it up four, getting your boobs
ripped off by giving up for or more. That's the
boob ripping clause, getting injured, which would require injured list
(06:17):
stint to avoid manipulation. Don't expect this to happen ever,
but Kate's put it in here.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah, well it was a headline and then you read
the entire piece about this is something they really want.
They don't like openers, they don't like the pictures, are
averaging four point one innings per start in the minor leagues,
that this problem is getting worse and worse and worse
as time goes on. And then at the end of
(06:44):
the article it says, yeah, but the Players Association would
never go for it, and if they did, it would
take at least a decade to implement. So thanks for
the thanks for the heads up, thanks for the fifteen
hundred word article, and that two sentence at the end. Well,
August is a terrible month. It really is.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
The little things appla as time goes by. The regular
season kicks off three weeks from tonight. In the meantime,
Chargers take on the Ramaalam Dingongs on Saturday in a
preseason game. We got a pair of tickets for that game.
Collar ten. Right, now, let's go six o'clock hour eight
six six ninety seven to two five seventy. Don't let
that fat lady throw a beer on you and start
(07:20):
a fight Chargers Rams Saturday at so far have a
great time. That's eight six six nine eight seven two
five seventy and Matt looks like the Nick is going
to join the staff and do some surgery.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Well, as we discussed in Three Things, he was asked
about Colin Kaepernick as a potential quarterback on the Chargers roster.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Well, you know, with Herbert in a boot, you know
what makes sense to me.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Harball replied, no, but I did invite him to be
a coach. Quote, if that was ever the path he
was to take, I think it would be tremendous. He'd
be a tremendous coach if that's the path he chose.
I just kind of rearranging the sentence twice there. Said
he reached out to Kapernick shortly after he took over
the Chargers all the way back in January to see
if he wanted to join him, and that he said
(08:08):
he was traveling internationally and he would re respond, which
he still has not. But Kaepernick did talk to Sky Sports,
as we discussed earlier, and said he is still chasing
his dream of being an NFL quarter He could to
chase that dream into the grave. It's been eight years.
At twenty sixteen, last time he played Alex.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Smith's leg was twisted him evil and he played on
that bad leg and people wanted him more than they
want you.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
You think about that and taking a stab in seven years.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
It's time for love, you're after It's time for lunch.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
It's time for lunch.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
I'll tell you I'm starving. The NBA schedule is out
and we spent most of the first part of the
show going through a game by game the Lake.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
They loosed the Pistons, so that puts them at dirty
three and two.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I've got him winning that one.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I've got him at thirty four and one.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I like him in fifteen and fifteen.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
I has an embarrassment this segments and embarrassment.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
What do we do?
Speaker 4 (09:05):
What?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
You just to hate this?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
See they start Tuesday October. I missed that show. Oh
it's the best Tuesday October twenty second. We didn't know
how good we had it.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
We really didn't.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Minnesota Tea Wolves. The Lakers will have thirty nine nationally
televised games.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I thought you said thirty nine.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I did. I can't.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Well, so for thirty nine that would mean we'll have
at least twenty of Charles Barkley going out the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
So that's thirty nine hard strokes from the King to
the nation. Yes, so you got that half their schedule. Hey,
And they are going to announce they're going to retire
Michael Cooper's number twenty one on January thirteenth versus the Spurs.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
It's so dumb. Gotta be a Hall of Famer to
have your number retired by the Lakers. Finally gets into
the Hall of Fame after thirty years of retirement. And
the Lakers will like, no, we'll retirement enough, ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
You're an idiot, geenie.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
We love you and we'll see you on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Clippers will tip off the season Wednesday, October twenty third
versus the Phoenix Suns in the first game at the
into It Dome. They will host the Lakers at the
New Arena January nineteenth and February fourth, And that's gonna
be the waven of the Puzzo in the face of
the Lakers urvious. Remember when you ran Englewood, Remember when
James Worthy didn't have to pay at the Sizzler, And
(10:21):
now look at you. You got hobos everywhere. It's like
the Carter and New Jack City at the Crypto, and
look at us sitting pretty in Englewood. We closed all
the schools, We've ran out all the people.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
And is a disaster at the corner of Prairie and Century.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
We don't care.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
And you will not punch Clipper Daryl into a trash
can ever again. Well, Clippers will be at Crypto reminding
them of the sewer that they played in for all
those years. Feb Twenty nine and March second, you see LA.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Kicks off the season at Hawaii on August thirty. First,
is that new foo Timmy Chang is hiding in the
bushes with a clenched fist, a bunch of sean in
the face. Bruin's a thirteen and a half point favorite.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I suggest they should win that one easy. That's what
that line says. What about sc what are they doing?
What we are they up to?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Well, they couldn't, they couldn't get out of it. So
it's three o'clock high versus LSU's coming Sunday, September one
in Las Vegas. Trojans are a six point dog to
Brian Kelly. Remember Alabama's got a new coach Kirby Smart
and his band of miscreants and Lsu they're alleged to
(11:31):
be swinging the big sec poots.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Is that what they think? Brian Kelly, sir so I
it is my time, sir, Nick sad.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Not since Admiral Farragut took the New Orleans Harbor during
the Civil War has there been such hope for a
Yankee coming in to the South to take charge. I
have placed damn, as Farragut said, damn the torpedoes full
speed ahead.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Oh sir, oh mister, it is so good to see.
They're both replacing Heisman quarterback Jade Daniels gone, Caleb Williams gone,
first and second pick in the draft. And yet here
we are.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
We found President Lincoln is in the ground, and Jefferson
Davis is on the run, and still we are here.
May I offer you some fun kognac from my leather
flask that was homespun by my wife wife. Former Chelsea
Tottenham and PAS coach Mauricio Pokatino has agreed to become
(12:38):
the next head coach for the US natal team. This
is seen as a miracle, coup, miracle, not since they
got PLoP has there been so much international excitement.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
We got Jurgen. Yeah, this is even more exciting, very exciting.
Looked like that they stepped on their own d's, but
instead they get one of the best managers around. So
good luck to mister Pocatino and the national team moving forward.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Matt, you used to like the Galaxy. I did.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Bruceho Dortman midfielder three times Bundesliga Player of the Year.
Marco Ruys has signed with the Galaxy through the end
of the twenty twenty six MLS season. And by Ruis,
I mean Royce or Reus or like.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Former Dodger pitcher Jerry Rice. He wouldn't have kicked those
balls to Rais Marco Reyis. Jerry Rice would have never
booted those balls like Hudson Dude, thirty.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Five year old German with Dortmann from twelve until this
past season, healthy said he has quote lots of energy
in my lots of energy in my thank to help
the Galaxy win a title and try to steal back
a little bit of the momentum that LAFC has had
in their corner for quite some time.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Okay, and we'll be right back with some baseball talk
with Ryan Dempster. As our show continues, the Dodgers are
in a heck of a and people are freaking out.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
That's your some money. In five to seventy LA Sports
Home of the Dodgers, they split a series with Milwaukee,
won the first two comedy of airs, literal errors did
him in over the final two. They split and they
will make their way to Saint Louis for a game tomorrow.
Flex alert for US two to four, first pitch just
after five.
Speaker 1 (14:21):

Speaker 1 (15:01):
I predicted it decades ago, so kats I old to
Dealer Celebrity Hotline. Joining us right now is Ryan Dempster
on the Petro Some Money Show. What's crack at, Dempster?
How are you?
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Hey? Great intro, Thanks very much for that.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Oh you're welcome and you deserve it. You know, we're
out here in LA on your Dodger station. So we
throw big offseason parties and then around September October, everybody
looks in the mirror and goes, what happened? What happened?
That's kind of how we've lived here in southern California.
But are you surprised that the Dodgers aren't in better shape?
I mean, they have the best record in the NL
(15:35):
and all that, but they're in a tough division. We're
race and they just split again with the Brewers. People
here freaking out, Dempster, what can we do?
Speaker 4 (15:44):
While there were a couple of plays away from being up,
you know, three inch to one in that series. But yeah, man,
you guys got a good team out in LA. They
can play some baseball, and I think it's you know,
sometimes there's different ways you can. You can bust it
all year long and then slow down the end and
(16:05):
putter out and maybe over time you learn that it's
best to through the show horse just run hard, but
you got to stee on it and then turn it
on when it's time and they'll there'll come a time
and they'll either be good enough to do it or
they won't. But the Brewers are a really good baseball
team too. People are finding that out.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Ryan. I'm looking at the back of your baseball card here,
and I'm seeing a number a number of seasons where
you threw over two hundred innings. You got a couple
where you threw over two hundred and twenty.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
That's before the pitch clock, Matt he could take his
time up there.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Hey, Dodger has got zero chance of throwing two hundred
innings in the last half decade and likely for the
foreseeable future. How much of that is playing into their
bullpen routinely being gassed by the end of the year.
Do you feel like this is a team that's got
a premature hook on their starters.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
I don't know about that. It's an industry driven thing
where it's just a little bit that's not that used
to always be the number one concern, Like I think
forgetting a starting pitcher was signing a guy who you
knew would throw two hundred plus innings and like there
was a horse. So guys, guys like were put you
(17:19):
were made that way, like you were made that way
in high school, and then that was the goal, be
Nolan Ryan, run the polls, you know, do the conditioning,
build your legs up big and strong, Steve Carlton, all
these guys go down the list, you know, and and
then go out there and throw two hundred and something
innings and do it again the next year and the
next year and be good enough to go through a
(17:41):
lineup three times, you know, sometimes not good enough to
go through the lineup once, like I think there was
there's a few of those like but you know, I
think it's just something that was valued a lot more.
It's just changed industry wide for whatever reason.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
You know.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Yeah, it's just not as big a focus it's. But
I think it's in there. I think we're taking like superhumans.
The guy's throwing ninety applied to one hundred. Want to
get more out of them, set less out of them?
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Yeah, I think that's because it feels like it's the
same theme, you know, and in these last you know,
in this game today, right Flaherty gives up three early
is throwing great. Now he's completely settled down, hasn't given
up a single run over the next four innings, and
then he's at ninety three pitches and he's out of
the game, and you find yourself.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Strong out the kind of stuff I'm talking about. You're
now we're talking. That's that's eyes, right, that's steel. That's like,
oh shoot, he's just getting I remember Louke Panela one
time I went in the seventh thing. We're facing the Cardinals,
and I wish I could. I'll look it up so
I remember this when I tell the story. But I
finished the seventh inning with like one hundred and nine
pitches or something like that. And he came up, and
(18:49):
this is the seventh and I went three four five,
and he goes, Son, you're good, right, you want to
keep going? And I was like, yeah, one hundred percent
like and he's like, yeah, I thought, so three four five, six,
seven eight, no problem, down the butt And I went
out six seven eight, one two three right in the
eighth inning, and I finished with one hundred and eighteen
pitches or something like one hundred and seventeen pitches. Made
(19:11):
my next start, and made my next start, and but
it was it was a feel my My tough part
was the first time to line up, but it wasn't
the second or I was just getting going. And I
think sometimes moments like that, like have him throw another thing?
Why not? And another one? If he has a quick
inning he finished one hundred through six, like go for
another one. Why not? He's cruising right now.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
It doesn't seem like anybody gets injured any less then
they used.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
It seems more the same in this It's not even
like that. I always said, like we were trying this
other way, and I don't know, is it more successful, like.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Is it I don't know, doesn't feel like it runs.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
A strikers are out. I mean I'm more strikeouts, I guess.
But like as far as like way to put a
pitch clock in place, because it's so many changes, you know,
for the same result, take longer time to get to
the same result. Scores are still three to two, still
eight to one. It didn't matter. You either can locate
a fastball and you're stay in the game, or you
can't and you get Then you go to get somebody.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
To shift to the batters in the everyday players. Do
you think because they tried to put the kabash on it.
You know, look, we do a show every day. We're
doing four hours today, and it felt like it was
a big deal when Mookie dropped that quote of you know,
it's shoe a otani. Whatever he says, we do, and
then everybody else falls in line about him coming back
and not hitting the lead off anymore, but he was
(20:28):
doing before the injury. In your experience all those years
you played, is is that a big deal for guys like,
hey man, I want to hit lead off and this
is bs that I got hurt and I hitn't lead
off anymore. Now it seems like everybody's fine with it.
But do you think that's something that that maybe there
is an issue there and they're just kind of playing
nice for the public.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
I think that I can't speak for how like Mookie
feels or they feel. I don't know that, but like
I think, like anything in life, like you you know,
you're working at a anybody would feel a certain way,
right Like you have a huge dynamic of players on
(21:10):
both sides, who are you know, one person is really
enjoying where they're at and this person the goal is
to win. Everybody wants that, and you know you just
have to work your way through that. But they're also
like Mookie's an emotionally intelligent human beings still such a
great teammate that that's not an issue with their team.
I wouldn't believe like that's you get through that. You
(21:30):
just rake, you know, whereas maybe if you had a
little bit more volatile relationship with somebody, but like, no,
guys who are just trying to win, and Mookie bets
can hit first, second, third. That dude is baller man.
He is awesome and shoho tany rakes and you know,
I don't think that's an issue at all, all right,
but I'm not in that locker room. I just know
(21:51):
Moki is a human like that dude. That's a great teammate, the.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Great Ryan Dempster, he would know World Series champ with
those red socks, And of course he's great on the
MLB Network and intentional talk and speaking of that national perspective,
because you know what it's like, especially Boston, it's hard
to see the forest for the trees when you're in
a market and you're around the team all the time.
Do you guys cover show Hail Tani differently in the
(22:17):
MLB Network now that he's a Dodger as opposed to
the Angels. It's so weird in LA He's such an
attraction on Bobblehead Night and all this. There's like twenty
oh Tani Bobbleheads with the Angels and nobody cared. It's
a trip. How do you guys cover it? Is it different? No?
Speaker 4 (22:36):
I think it's the same. I mean maybe there's a
little bit more because you know, when teams are better,
they no matter what market you're in. I think they
just get more run, you know, more ice. Maybe it
seems like you talk about him more, but I always
I feel like we've always talked about him, like the
unicorn that he is, you know, right, and and the
ability to do on a baseball field with a lot
(22:58):
of people, man, like what guy did in like in
Pony Baseball, Like you know, oh yeah, Tom, he raked
any pitch really hard, Like nobody's did that big leagues,
you know, in this in this era anyways, now for
one hundred, you know whatever, eighty years, So it's like
it's interesting. So yeah, I think we've always just covered him.
(23:18):
It's been pretty pretty incredible what he's able to do.
I mean, he's gonna what forty forty. I think he
could be fifty fifty if he if he just wasn't.
The problem is he has too many homers. He can't
steal enough basses.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Too many homers and doubles, you know, more singles.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Huh, mooky and mookie. Like he's got players clogging up
the bases in front of him. He's got too good
of a team to go fifty to fifty.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
The was listening to the broadcast today the Dodger Radio broadcast,
and Rick Monday brought up that Michael Kopek mentioned that
he once uh performed an unassisted triple play in T ball,
he said, and he was in t ball. That was
a nugget that he shared with him. Do you remembers
(24:01):
as an exceptional athlete, a guy that was good enough
to play sixteen years in the Major Do you remember
any of your incredible because you said it right, the
horses and Pony and all that. Do you remember like
your greatest game in either Pony or American Legion or
tea but whatever you were playing, can you remember like, oh, yeah,
this particular game, I freaking destroyed everything.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Uh yeah, I think probably. It was a couple of
weeks before the draft I think it was more of
like the way I felt about it. We were playing
a tournament in port Albernie on the Island, and the
teams from all over the Lower Mainland in Vancouver over there,
and then some team, a team came up from Bellingham,
I believe it was You're just socided to Seattle, Washington.
(24:45):
Oh yeah, got a beautiful lad and they ran a
figure eight, you know, routine like the Harlem Globetrotters for
their infield. I mean, they were crisp, and they had
a lot of staffs from the team from the States
come with these Canadian kids, you know. And I was
watching them do this inam old and was flawless and
they were just hooting and hollering, perfect clean uniforms.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
You know.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
I washed mine with a bar of dirt, you know,
like it was just and so so we're sitting there
and I'm like, oh man, you know, and I kind
of was just like getting fired up inside, like my
core was like. And I looked at my coach Dave,
and I was like, hey, uh, I don't put I
want to change the games I pitched. I want to
pitch up them. And I shoved for seven innings, shutout innings.
(25:26):
I think I shuck out fourteen or fifteen.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
America was awesome.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
It was it was awesome, and it was just like
and I never like, I just like quietly went about
it too. I wasn't like it was just great.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
It was just a good thing, an understated exactly nice.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Yeah, yeah, way better than when I Yard failed the
butt back to me with the perfect game in the seventh.
That was that one. I'll never live down. But that.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Time again, we wouldn't bring it up.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Bellevue.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Yeah, those kids, I don't remember that. Ryan the running Feel.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
One more segment to go dead and the live guy
Birthday of the Day coming up next.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
All right, everybody, we thank you for listening to the
Petros and Money Show on AM five seventy LA Sports,
your home of the Dodgers who started out so strong
but left looking just like a ghost. You know.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Yeah, the got two games because of errors.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Spirited away by Guy Ritchie and Madonna spirited away from
Milwaukee to Saint Louis.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I was a poltergeist that booted that ball, not Daniel
Hudson that kicked it. It was an apparition that came out.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Well, look, Milwaukee's got the most comeback wins in the
National League, and the Dodgers fell victim. They won the
first two acting all hard with their six home runs,
and then what happened Deflation Nation. It's time for Jamaican news.
It's Jamaica News.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Zig.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
This guy's pretty interesting. He would have been seventy eight today.
Been dead for a while. Vivian Neville Jackson, also known
as Yabby You spelled Yu or just the Letter, reggae
singer and producer who came up as one of the
only self produced Jamaican acts of all time all time.
(27:30):
Who else produces themselves in Jamaica? Very few, almost nobody
that I could ever think of. Maybe Lee scratch Berry,
who was a producer and then ended up singing on
a lot of his tracks later in life with Snow
Upsetters Snow, I don't know if he's into production. And
that's a Toronto act. Although Snow is responsible even though
you're laughing, Snow is responsible for one of the biggest
(27:52):
dance all collaborations of all time. He wrote a song
and there's literally like twelve superstar dancehall guys Beanie Man,
Boogiu Bontan. Yaby You was self produced and uncompromised, one
of seven children born in Waterhouse. If you think you
had it tougher than Yaby, you you're wrong. So poor
(28:14):
that at seventeen working in a local furnace, he had
such bad mouth in the local furnace, like where they
have the cold, the.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Fire up, the making the bricks or something at a
fire neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
He was hospitalized because of.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Malnutrition at seventeen.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
At seventeen and after his release, his legs never worked again.
So he's been crippled. Basically, was crippled most of his life.
He could not go back to work in the furnace,
so he started hustling in the streets with his one
crutch like tiny tip. He was not a rosta man,
but kind of like a hippie Christian, earning him the
nickname Jesus Dread.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
It's the hell of a nickname.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
He spent much more time in the hospital on and off.
But when he was in the hospital he started right songs.
And then he started recording songs that came to him
while he was laid up and learn about musicians. And
often that is the case. They're laid up for some
certain amount of time and they'd end up doing this
kind of work. His song Conquering Lion was what changed
(29:15):
his life, gave him the nickname Yabby You and blew
him up with King Tubby, who is the number one
producer in Jamaica for Many Danceall Guys, and was right
there in Waterhouse. He made an album with King Tubby.
Then he started to produce his own stuff, and then
he started to produce other people like Michael Rose and
Big Youth and Trinity, a lot of Waterhouse acts, people
(29:38):
from that part of Jamaica. Mostly for his whole life,
Matt on one crutch like Tiny Tim and recorded and
produced until he had a brain aneurysm. They finally took
him down, probably from the malnutrition in the furnace back
in his teens. Legendary artist Vivian Neville. All right, the
(29:59):
alive guy.
Speaker 2 (29:59):

the Van's headquarters? How long do I have to sit here?
I want to win eleven thousand dollars. I'm not interested

Speaker 1 (02:30):
You didn't give anything to the early people, and now

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Yes, yes, you young Native American man who dominated Papa
shot at the David Busters in Arcadia. How dare you?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Over a decade ago, we still haven't forgotten that interloper.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
No, not okay, you're not included in this. This is
a private party. Who do you think you are?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
It's time for the final hour fun fast put in effect,
it's yeah, we're three fasts.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
In fact, at the nineteen fifty two Helsinki Olympic Games,
Jos Barthel a talented runner from Luxembourg.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
That's how they say it, Bartal. If you're from Luxembourg,
well there's a tooth girl from Luxembourg.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Right there between Finland and Germany.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Just like Nick. There's an ancient there.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
He was the longest of long shots, but he won
the fifteen hundred. He won gold.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Luxembourg pasts it out like that Morrissey guy. Right, he'd
come out too fast, start barking at people. Next thing
we got manbun wins American man bun takes it.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Up to that point, Luxembourg had only won a silver
medal in their past. It was such a surprise the
organizers had not prepared a recording of the Luxembourg national
anthem Oh no, So they basically looked at the orchestra
and said, play something luxombs. So they just improvised a
(04:03):
random melody. Well we have it as this guy, we
have Ronnie and I are gonna say it right now.
I think Ronnie has it writing frightening verse two book
too good, looksome bug, ask.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Me, ask me, ask me, ask me, ask me, ask me.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Yeah, that's what they played, asked spending Walls. Like when
you there's no audio to the video. When you watch him,
he's like crying, like really crying. He's like is he
in disbelief? Or is he like the hell is his soul?
Their playing a big country man. It still remains the
(04:41):
only Olympic gold in Luxembourg's history. Nineteen fifty two, Helsinki,
fifteen hundred, Josie Barte.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
And imagine if Morrisey never asked that guy to be
gay with him, we would never have this moment together.
Touch me now, quick, hits everybody ms quick hitch. I'll
make it quick, y'all. Oh yeah, Dodgers lost today and
they played defense like phonies. They were like a phony
(05:12):
phone call at Vic's house. Put a freaking.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Yesterday, Key betson right field, she came her and then
it's at third days out on and today Daniel Hudson
on the mound signing aks to use my feet and
kick these balls.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
You don't know what it's like to be the back.
The Angels are fifty two and sixty nine. They've lost
three in a row. They're off today. They host the
Bravos tomorrow night at the Big A. According to an
ESPN report, MLB is thinking about a rule that requires
starting pictures to work at least six innings in a game.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Ah, that's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Dave Roberts said, No, it's like when the old Spice
got taken. Dave Roberts, No, that's not cool. The only
exceptions to the proposed six inning minimum could include throwing
one hundred pitches, give it up four, getting your boobs
ripped off by giving up for or more. That's the
boob ripping clause, getting injured, which would require injured list
(06:17):
stint to avoid manipulation. Don't expect this to happen ever,
but Kate's put it in here.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah, well it was a headline and then you read
the entire piece about this is something they really want.
They don't like openers, they don't like the pictures, are
averaging four point one innings per start in the minor leagues,
that this problem is getting worse and worse and worse
as time goes on. And then at the end of
(06:44):
the article it says, yeah, but the Players Association would
never go for it, and if they did, it would
take at least a decade to implement. So thanks for
the thanks for the heads up, thanks for the fifteen
hundred word article, and that two sentence at the end. Well,
August is a terrible month. It really is.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
The little things appla as time goes by. The regular
season kicks off three weeks from tonight. In the meantime,
Chargers take on the Ramaalam Dingongs on Saturday in a
preseason game. We got a pair of tickets for that game.
Collar ten. Right, now, let's go six o'clock hour eight
six six ninety seven to two five seventy. Don't let
that fat lady throw a beer on you and start
(07:20):
a fight Chargers Rams Saturday at so far have a
great time. That's eight six six nine eight seven two
five seventy and Matt looks like the Nick is going
to join the staff and do some surgery.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Well, as we discussed in Three Things, he was asked
about Colin Kaepernick as a potential quarterback on the Chargers roster.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Well, you know, with Herbert in a boot, you know
what makes sense to me.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Harball replied, no, but I did invite him to be
a coach. Quote, if that was ever the path he
was to take, I think it would be tremendous. He'd
be a tremendous coach if that's the path he chose.
I just kind of rearranging the sentence twice there. Said
he reached out to Kapernick shortly after he took over
the Chargers all the way back in January to see
if he wanted to join him, and that he said
(08:08):
he was traveling internationally and he would re respond, which
he still has not. But Kaepernick did talk to Sky Sports,
as we discussed earlier, and said he is still chasing
his dream of being an NFL quarter He could to
chase that dream into the grave. It's been eight years.
At twenty sixteen, last time he played Alex.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Smith's leg was twisted him evil and he played on
that bad leg and people wanted him more than they
want you.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
You think about that and taking a stab in seven years.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
It's time for love, you're after It's time for lunch.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
It's time for lunch.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
I'll tell you I'm starving. The NBA schedule is out
and we spent most of the first part of the
show going through a game by game the Lake.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
They loosed the Pistons, so that puts them at dirty
three and two.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I've got him winning that one.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I've got him at thirty four and one.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I like him in fifteen and fifteen.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
I has an embarrassment this segments and embarrassment.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
What do we do?
Speaker 4 (09:05):
What?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
You just to hate this?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
See they start Tuesday October. I missed that show. Oh
it's the best Tuesday October twenty second. We didn't know
how good we had it.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
We really didn't.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Minnesota Tea Wolves. The Lakers will have thirty nine nationally
televised games.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I thought you said thirty nine.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I did. I can't.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Well, so for thirty nine that would mean we'll have
at least twenty of Charles Barkley going out the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
So that's thirty nine hard strokes from the King to
the nation. Yes, so you got that half their schedule. Hey,
And they are going to announce they're going to retire
Michael Cooper's number twenty one on January thirteenth versus the Spurs.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
It's so dumb. Gotta be a Hall of Famer to
have your number retired by the Lakers. Finally gets into
the Hall of Fame after thirty years of retirement. And
the Lakers will like, no, we'll retirement enough, ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
You're an idiot, geenie.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
We love you and we'll see you on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Clippers will tip off the season Wednesday, October twenty third
versus the Phoenix Suns in the first game at the
into It Dome. They will host the Lakers at the
New Arena January nineteenth and February fourth, And that's gonna
be the waven of the Puzzo in the face of
the Lakers urvious. Remember when you ran Englewood, Remember when
James Worthy didn't have to pay at the Sizzler, And
(10:21):
now look at you. You got hobos everywhere. It's like
the Carter and New Jack City at the Crypto, and
look at us sitting pretty in Englewood. We closed all
the schools, We've ran out all the people.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
And is a disaster at the corner of Prairie and Century.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
We don't care.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
And you will not punch Clipper Daryl into a trash
can ever again. Well, Clippers will be at Crypto reminding
them of the sewer that they played in for all
those years. Feb Twenty nine and March second, you see LA.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Kicks off the season at Hawaii on August thirty. First,
is that new foo Timmy Chang is hiding in the
bushes with a clenched fist, a bunch of sean in
the face. Bruin's a thirteen and a half point favorite.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I suggest they should win that one easy. That's what
that line says. What about sc what are they doing?
What we are they up to?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Well, they couldn't, they couldn't get out of it. So
it's three o'clock high versus LSU's coming Sunday, September one
in Las Vegas. Trojans are a six point dog to
Brian Kelly. Remember Alabama's got a new coach Kirby Smart
and his band of miscreants and Lsu they're alleged to
(11:31):
be swinging the big sec poots.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Is that what they think? Brian Kelly, sir so I
it is my time, sir, Nick sad.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Not since Admiral Farragut took the New Orleans Harbor during
the Civil War has there been such hope for a
Yankee coming in to the South to take charge. I
have placed damn, as Farragut said, damn the torpedoes full
speed ahead.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Oh sir, oh mister, it is so good to see.
They're both replacing Heisman quarterback Jade Daniels gone, Caleb Williams gone,
first and second pick in the draft. And yet here
we are.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
We found President Lincoln is in the ground, and Jefferson
Davis is on the run, and still we are here.
May I offer you some fun kognac from my leather
flask that was homespun by my wife wife. Former Chelsea
Tottenham and PAS coach Mauricio Pokatino has agreed to become
(12:38):
the next head coach for the US natal team. This
is seen as a miracle, coup, miracle, not since they
got PLoP has there been so much international excitement.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
We got Jurgen. Yeah, this is even more exciting, very exciting.
Looked like that they stepped on their own d's, but
instead they get one of the best managers around. So
good luck to mister Pocatino and the national team moving forward.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Matt, you used to like the Galaxy. I did.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Bruceho Dortman midfielder three times Bundesliga Player of the Year.
Marco Ruys has signed with the Galaxy through the end
of the twenty twenty six MLS season. And by Ruis,
I mean Royce or Reus or like.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Former Dodger pitcher Jerry Rice. He wouldn't have kicked those
balls to Rais Marco Reyis. Jerry Rice would have never
booted those balls like Hudson Dude, thirty.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Five year old German with Dortmann from twelve until this
past season, healthy said he has quote lots of energy
in my lots of energy in my thank to help
the Galaxy win a title and try to steal back
a little bit of the momentum that LAFC has had
in their corner for quite some time.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Okay, and we'll be right back with some baseball talk
with Ryan Dempster. As our show continues, the Dodgers are
in a heck of a and people are freaking out.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
That's your some money. In five to seventy LA Sports
Home of the Dodgers, they split a series with Milwaukee,
won the first two comedy of airs, literal errors did
him in over the final two. They split and they
will make their way to Saint Louis for a game tomorrow.
Flex alert for US two to four, first pitch just
after five.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
We tracked him down straight out of Canada. This is
Canadian News. Holzer Hey Joining us right now, Ryan Dempster

Speaker 2 (14:58):
A la art programming. That's a in these spots.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
I predicted it decades ago, so kats I old to
Dealer Celebrity Hotline. Joining us right now is Ryan Dempster
on the Petro Some Money Show. What's crack at, Dempster?
How are you?
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Hey? Great intro, Thanks very much for that.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Oh you're welcome and you deserve it. You know, we're
out here in LA on your Dodger station. So we
throw big offseason parties and then around September October, everybody
looks in the mirror and goes, what happened? What happened?
That's kind of how we've lived here in southern California.
But are you surprised that the Dodgers aren't in better shape?
I mean, they have the best record in the NL
(15:35):
and all that, but they're in a tough division. We're
race and they just split again with the Brewers. People
here freaking out, Dempster, what can we do?
Speaker 4 (15:44):
While there were a couple of plays away from being up,
you know, three inch to one in that series. But yeah, man,
you guys got a good team out in LA. They
can play some baseball, and I think it's you know,
sometimes there's different ways you can. You can bust it
all year long and then slow down the end and
(16:05):
putter out and maybe over time you learn that it's
best to through the show horse just run hard, but
you got to stee on it and then turn it
on when it's time and they'll there'll come a time
and they'll either be good enough to do it or
they won't. But the Brewers are a really good baseball
team too. People are finding that out.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Ryan. I'm looking at the back of your baseball card here,
and I'm seeing a number a number of seasons where
you threw over two hundred innings. You got a couple
where you threw over two hundred and twenty.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
That's before the pitch clock, Matt he could take his
time up there.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Hey, Dodger has got zero chance of throwing two hundred
innings in the last half decade and likely for the
foreseeable future. How much of that is playing into their
bullpen routinely being gassed by the end of the year.
Do you feel like this is a team that's got
a premature hook on their starters.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
I don't know about that. It's an industry driven thing
where it's just a little bit that's not that used
to always be the number one concern, Like I think
forgetting a starting pitcher was signing a guy who you
knew would throw two hundred plus innings and like there
was a horse. So guys, guys like were put you
(17:19):
were made that way, like you were made that way
in high school, and then that was the goal, be
Nolan Ryan, run the polls, you know, do the conditioning,
build your legs up big and strong, Steve Carlton, all
these guys go down the list, you know, and and
then go out there and throw two hundred and something
innings and do it again the next year and the
next year and be good enough to go through a
(17:41):
lineup three times, you know, sometimes not good enough to
go through the lineup once, like I think there was
there's a few of those like but you know, I
think it's just something that was valued a lot more.
It's just changed industry wide for whatever reason.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
You know.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Yeah, it's just not as big a focus it's. But
I think it's in there. I think we're taking like superhumans.
The guy's throwing ninety applied to one hundred. Want to
get more out of them, set less out of them?
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Yeah, I think that's because it feels like it's the
same theme, you know, and in these last you know,
in this game today, right Flaherty gives up three early
is throwing great. Now he's completely settled down, hasn't given
up a single run over the next four innings, and
then he's at ninety three pitches and he's out of
the game, and you find yourself.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Strong out the kind of stuff I'm talking about. You're
now we're talking. That's that's eyes, right, that's steel. That's like,
oh shoot, he's just getting I remember Louke Panela one
time I went in the seventh thing. We're facing the Cardinals,
and I wish I could. I'll look it up so
I remember this when I tell the story. But I
finished the seventh inning with like one hundred and nine
pitches or something like that. And he came up, and
(18:49):
this is the seventh and I went three four five,
and he goes, Son, you're good, right, you want to
keep going? And I was like, yeah, one hundred percent
like and he's like, yeah, I thought, so three four five, six,
seven eight, no problem, down the butt And I went
out six seven eight, one two three right in the
eighth inning, and I finished with one hundred and eighteen
pitches or something like one hundred and seventeen pitches. Made
(19:11):
my next start, and made my next start, and but
it was it was a feel my My tough part
was the first time to line up, but it wasn't
the second or I was just getting going. And I
think sometimes moments like that, like have him throw another thing?
Why not? And another one? If he has a quick
inning he finished one hundred through six, like go for
another one. Why not? He's cruising right now.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
It doesn't seem like anybody gets injured any less then
they used.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
It seems more the same in this It's not even
like that. I always said, like we were trying this
other way, and I don't know, is it more successful, like.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Is it I don't know, doesn't feel like it runs.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
A strikers are out. I mean I'm more strikeouts, I guess.
But like as far as like way to put a
pitch clock in place, because it's so many changes, you know,
for the same result, take longer time to get to
the same result. Scores are still three to two, still
eight to one. It didn't matter. You either can locate
a fastball and you're stay in the game, or you
can't and you get Then you go to get somebody.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
To shift to the batters in the everyday players. Do
you think because they tried to put the kabash on it.
You know, look, we do a show every day. We're
doing four hours today, and it felt like it was
a big deal when Mookie dropped that quote of you know,
it's shoe a otani. Whatever he says, we do, and
then everybody else falls in line about him coming back
and not hitting the lead off anymore, but he was
(20:28):
doing before the injury. In your experience all those years
you played, is is that a big deal for guys like,
hey man, I want to hit lead off and this
is bs that I got hurt and I hitn't lead
off anymore. Now it seems like everybody's fine with it.
But do you think that's something that that maybe there
is an issue there and they're just kind of playing
nice for the public.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
I think that I can't speak for how like Mookie
feels or they feel. I don't know that, but like
I think, like anything in life, like you you know,
you're working at a anybody would feel a certain way,
right Like you have a huge dynamic of players on
(21:10):
both sides, who are you know, one person is really
enjoying where they're at and this person the goal is
to win. Everybody wants that, and you know you just
have to work your way through that. But they're also
like Mookie's an emotionally intelligent human beings still such a
great teammate that that's not an issue with their team.
I wouldn't believe like that's you get through that. You
(21:30):
just rake, you know, whereas maybe if you had a
little bit more volatile relationship with somebody, but like, no,
guys who are just trying to win, and Mookie bets
can hit first, second, third. That dude is baller man.
He is awesome and shoho tany rakes and you know,
I don't think that's an issue at all, all right,
but I'm not in that locker room. I just know
(21:51):
Moki is a human like that dude. That's a great teammate, the.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Great Ryan Dempster, he would know World Series champ with
those red socks, And of course he's great on the
MLB Network and intentional talk and speaking of that national perspective,
because you know what it's like, especially Boston, it's hard
to see the forest for the trees when you're in
a market and you're around the team all the time.
Do you guys cover show Hail Tani differently in the
(22:17):
MLB Network now that he's a Dodger as opposed to
the Angels. It's so weird in LA He's such an
attraction on Bobblehead Night and all this. There's like twenty
oh Tani Bobbleheads with the Angels and nobody cared. It's
a trip. How do you guys cover it? Is it different? No?
Speaker 4 (22:36):
I think it's the same. I mean maybe there's a
little bit more because you know, when teams are better,
they no matter what market you're in. I think they
just get more run, you know, more ice. Maybe it
seems like you talk about him more, but I always
I feel like we've always talked about him, like the
unicorn that he is, you know, right, and and the
ability to do on a baseball field with a lot
(22:58):
of people, man, like what guy did in like in
Pony Baseball, Like you know, oh yeah, Tom, he raked
any pitch really hard, Like nobody's did that big leagues,
you know, in this in this era anyways, now for
one hundred, you know whatever, eighty years, So it's like
it's interesting. So yeah, I think we've always just covered him.
(23:18):
It's been pretty pretty incredible what he's able to do.
I mean, he's gonna what forty forty. I think he
could be fifty fifty if he if he just wasn't.
The problem is he has too many homers. He can't
steal enough basses.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Too many homers and doubles, you know, more singles.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Huh, mooky and mookie. Like he's got players clogging up
the bases in front of him. He's got too good
of a team to go fifty to fifty.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
The was listening to the broadcast today the Dodger Radio broadcast,
and Rick Monday brought up that Michael Kopek mentioned that
he once uh performed an unassisted triple play in T ball,
he said, and he was in t ball. That was
a nugget that he shared with him. Do you remembers
(24:01):
as an exceptional athlete, a guy that was good enough
to play sixteen years in the Major Do you remember
any of your incredible because you said it right, the
horses and Pony and all that. Do you remember like
your greatest game in either Pony or American Legion or
tea but whatever you were playing, can you remember like, oh, yeah,
this particular game, I freaking destroyed everything.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Uh yeah, I think probably. It was a couple of
weeks before the draft I think it was more of
like the way I felt about it. We were playing
a tournament in port Albernie on the Island, and the
teams from all over the Lower Mainland in Vancouver over there,
and then some team, a team came up from Bellingham,
I believe it was You're just socided to Seattle, Washington.
(24:45):
Oh yeah, got a beautiful lad and they ran a
figure eight, you know, routine like the Harlem Globetrotters for
their infield. I mean, they were crisp, and they had
a lot of staffs from the team from the States
come with these Canadian kids, you know. And I was
watching them do this inam old and was flawless and
they were just hooting and hollering, perfect clean uniforms.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
You know.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
I washed mine with a bar of dirt, you know,
like it was just and so so we're sitting there
and I'm like, oh man, you know, and I kind
of was just like getting fired up inside, like my
core was like. And I looked at my coach Dave,
and I was like, hey, uh, I don't put I
want to change the games I pitched. I want to
pitch up them. And I shoved for seven innings, shutout innings.
(25:26):
I think I shuck out fourteen or fifteen.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
America was awesome.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
It was it was awesome, and it was just like
and I never like, I just like quietly went about
it too. I wasn't like it was just great.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
It was just a good thing, an understated exactly nice.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Yeah, yeah, way better than when I Yard failed the
butt back to me with the perfect game in the seventh.
That was that one. I'll never live down. But that.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Time again, we wouldn't bring it up.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Bellevue.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Yeah, those kids, I don't remember that. Ryan the running Feel.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
One more segment to go dead and the live guy
Birthday of the Day coming up next.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
All right, everybody, we thank you for listening to the
Petros and Money Show on AM five seventy LA Sports,
your home of the Dodgers who started out so strong
but left looking just like a ghost. You know.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Yeah, the got two games because of errors.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Spirited away by Guy Ritchie and Madonna spirited away from
Milwaukee to Saint Louis.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I was a poltergeist that booted that ball, not Daniel
Hudson that kicked it. It was an apparition that came out.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Well, look, Milwaukee's got the most comeback wins in the
National League, and the Dodgers fell victim. They won the
first two acting all hard with their six home runs,
and then what happened Deflation Nation. It's time for Jamaican news.
It's Jamaica News.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Zig.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
This guy's pretty interesting. He would have been seventy eight today.
Been dead for a while. Vivian Neville Jackson, also known
as Yabby You spelled Yu or just the Letter, reggae
singer and producer who came up as one of the
only self produced Jamaican acts of all time all time.
(27:30):
Who else produces themselves in Jamaica? Very few, almost nobody
that I could ever think of. Maybe Lee scratch Berry,
who was a producer and then ended up singing on
a lot of his tracks later in life with Snow
Upsetters Snow, I don't know if he's into production. And
that's a Toronto act. Although Snow is responsible even though
you're laughing, Snow is responsible for one of the biggest
(27:52):
dance all collaborations of all time. He wrote a song
and there's literally like twelve superstar dancehall guys Beanie Man,
Boogiu Bontan. Yaby You was self produced and uncompromised, one
of seven children born in Waterhouse. If you think you
had it tougher than Yaby, you you're wrong. So poor
(28:14):
that at seventeen working in a local furnace, he had
such bad mouth in the local furnace, like where they
have the cold, the.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Fire up, the making the bricks or something at a
fire neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
He was hospitalized because of.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Malnutrition at seventeen.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
At seventeen and after his release, his legs never worked again.
So he's been crippled. Basically, was crippled most of his life.
He could not go back to work in the furnace,
so he started hustling in the streets with his one
crutch like tiny tip. He was not a rosta man,
but kind of like a hippie Christian, earning him the
nickname Jesus Dread.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
It's the hell of a nickname.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
He spent much more time in the hospital on and off.
But when he was in the hospital he started right songs.
And then he started recording songs that came to him
while he was laid up and learn about musicians. And
often that is the case. They're laid up for some
certain amount of time and they'd end up doing this
kind of work. His song Conquering Lion was what changed
(29:15):
his life, gave him the nickname Yabby You and blew
him up with King Tubby, who is the number one
producer in Jamaica for Many Danceall Guys, and was right
there in Waterhouse. He made an album with King Tubby.
Then he started to produce his own stuff, and then
he started to produce other people like Michael Rose and
Big Youth and Trinity, a lot of Waterhouse acts, people
(29:38):
from that part of Jamaica. Mostly for his whole life,
Matt on one crutch like Tiny Tim and recorded and
produced until he had a brain aneurysm. They finally took
him down, probably from the malnutrition in the furnace back
in his teens. Legendary artist Vivian Neville. All right, the
(29:59):
alive guy.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
