You're a final hour fun fact up there in Washington,
Bro Pike Place Market, Bro, we know it well. I'm
sure there'll be a number of well at least one

(04:38):
on a rejoin shot of Pike's plays, likely a fish
being thrown. It opened in nineteen oh seven. It is
the oldest continuously operating farmers market in the country, and
it was born out of rebellion. It was created to
combat the high prices of onions. In nineteen oh six,
the city proposed the establishment of a public market so

(04:59):
far could sell their onions and other produce directly to
consumers because intermediaries were gouging people with high prices. It
became known as Pike's Place and obviously now iconic destination
for anybody calling a game, for any camera crew, you know, yeah,

(05:20):
dealing with the game. In Seattle.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
They like to go to the fish, just like they
like to go to the Santa Monica pier right out here.
But I mean, in my experience being in Seattle, at
most places, like if you go to Hollywood Boulevard here,
you run into Dingy Spider Man and a bunch of
hookers and it just sucks, you know.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Or you know, you go see the Satamnica, you go
to the Santa Monica peer and you're stepping over. But
if you Pike Place is awesome, like it really it
really is a great place to visit. The restaurants, like
it's one of the few local places, the tourist places
that hold up that's actually cool.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
New Orleans is that way. Uh, this wick quick hits, everybody.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Quick hits. I'll make it quick, y'all.

Speaker 1 (06:06):

fifty seven months. Prosecutors also want him to repay sixteen
point nine million that he admitted stealing from Otani and
one point one million to the irs.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
I do take a bite now.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
I don't know if that's gonna happen. Has any money?

Speaker 2 (06:37):
I don't have that kind of money.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
I lost those. It was a terrible gambling. A stain
on diamond bar high the poor people out there. Misuhara,

look at this. Uh Misuhara is scheduled to be sentenced
February sixth uh and he'll be sentenced to four and
a half years in jail next month for stealing almost
seventeen million from Showhee. And there's this newly released audio Matt.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah, the athletic is all over this. That is where
all of these stories were found and furthered and they
do have a link to the audio. And for all
of those that were questioning show Hey and how this
was just to cover up, well now you can hear
how shady our guy Epay is is. He is on
a call with one of Otani's banks asking them if

(07:21):
he can transfer two hundred thousand dollars uh for and
the follow up questions you would have assumed it would
have been red flagged right away. Here you go, oh
am I speaking with.

Speaker 4 (07:32):
Show her o'conne.

Speaker 5 (07:35):
Thank you, How man, I help you.

Speaker 4 (07:38):
Well, I tried to log into online banking and it
told me, yeah, that's not available.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
To me at this time.

Speaker 5 (07:46):
A big call. Sure, I can take them. We'll get
to that ready. And could you tell me the name
of the payee and the amount of the transaction please?

Speaker 2 (07:54):

Speaker 2 (07:59):
Yes, redacted, it's what two hundred thousand dollars? Oh?

Speaker 5 (08:06):
Thank you already.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
No.

Speaker 5 (08:08):
Recently we come across the trend of fraud and scams,
so we have been monitoring the online transactions front to
make sure our clients are not the victim of either.
What is the reason for this transaction?

Speaker 2 (08:21):
It's a good one for a car loan?

Speaker 5 (08:24):
Okay, you said it's for a car loan.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
A car loan a car loan?

Speaker 5 (08:29):
Okay. What is your relationship to the paye?

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Oh he's worth okay? What's he buying? A tank?

Speaker 2 (08:41):
A car loan? So what I got to do is
put two hundred grand down because it's a two million
dollar car see, and this is ten percent that I've
got to put down.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (08:49):
What is what is your name?

Speaker 5 (08:52):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Show held? Show hell Tony, sound like show her? That's
a lie?

Speaker 2 (09:01):
So hey, old Taney now, Matt.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
You were right. This eleven year old doesn't want any
part of Olivia Dunn.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
No, the young man here in southern California, Los Angeles
is the one. And Kates did this story earlier. Paul
skeens a rookie debut patch autograph card from Tops, just
one of those one.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Of one card guy with Burbank Sports cards.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Soon to be replaced by Fletcher Papadagus. This is considered
one of the holy grails of modern baseball cards. And
the Pirates made what they called a godfather offer, an
offer that cannot be refused. Thirty years of season tickets,
a pair of season tickets right behind home plate. He
could bring out a bunch of friends to play a
game on the field. But he said, yeah, that's great,

(09:45):
thank you. I'm going to go ahead and auction it.
And the auction going to maximize the cards value as
it always does, but contributing to a noble cause. So
you get a little bit of the charity in here.
Fanatics collect Is announced that the proceeds from the auction
will support wildfire reliefs in the LA area. So I
guess instead of taking their cut, you know, the young

(10:07):
eleven year old's gonna get all the money he wants.
But fanatics won't take the auction feed. They will donate
that instead.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Never take the MLB deal. Take it outside the stadium.
This kid's smart. He's not going to motor boat. Livy
done and then lose the rest of his future.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
I wish you would have had a follow up though.
Can we negotiate in something instead of thirty I'd like
forty years and instead of a softball game, I'd like
to play football on the field, And Livy, I don't
want to go to your sweet I'd just like to
have sex with you, if that's okay.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Now, when I turn eighteen, I want a motorboat.

Speaker 2 (10:40):

beat the Warriors.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Oh he knows how to beat him. He knows how
to crack that code that is that is clear? Uh,

maybe JJL Callbyron and ask him how he did it
back in the day.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
We'll see you guys.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
Obviously didn't read Magic Johnson's tweet from about eight hours ago.
Obviously I enjoyed watching my at Lakers beat the Boston
Celtics last night one seventeen to ninety six, led by
Lebron James with twenty points and fourteen rebounds and Anthony
Davis Is twenty four points. The key to victory was
Dalton connect and Gabe Vinson scoring thirteen points and twelve

(11:41):
points off the bench respectably.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Great.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
You should just post recapus I've ever ever heard, And
then the.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Follow up tweets he's been hired by the La Times.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
The Lakers played four quarters of really good basketball on
both ends of the court against the Celtics.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Dam They're perfect. The Raiders are hiring Carol Is the coach.
Seventy three year old gets a three year deal to
bring back the greatness of the Raiders. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
That feels like not that is that is not plagiarized.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Well that's what they want. Yeah, we talked to Steve
Weiss about it. Last hour. Pete takes over a team
that won four games. They got the number six pick
on the draft. They don't have a quarterback, but they
have one hundred million dollars in cap space.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Good luck to the Raiders. They all their dreams of
greatness come true.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah. Well, to hear you say that, I just will
quote Bob Dylan and say, you say, how are you?
Good luck? But you don't meet its Silver and Black
are back. We will have both the games running on
the station. Matt, very exciting. First, the Eagles commanders, go
Burns gee l G E L E s. She got

L E s Eagles. Oh, let's go bird, Let's go birds,

Speaker 1 (13:28):
Let's go Chefs. Three thirty Sunday Chiefs Bills, Old Bells,
darn Right Chefs in Kansas City, two point favorite at
Arrowhead Stadium. The NFL. They want Swift so bad, they
want her so.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Bad they do, but they're gonna get Stanfeld and Jaden.
Daniel's mom. I love Steinfeld exactly right.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
USC is hiring Chad Bowden, not Bobby Bowden's grandson, but
our friend Jim Bowden's son as their GM comes to
Trojan Football after serving the same role at Notre Day.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Well that went well.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Yeah, he's the son of baseball man Jim Bowden, who
we've had on the show many times. Despite David Vessey's
constant protests, you know what he did?

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Are you well?

Speaker 1 (14:16):
What he did? That's the last of all. I hope
you enjoy your twelve minute interview because he stole from
guys from the Caribbean.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
Can you, guys explain what a general manager does in
college football because I've been asked and I tried to
explain it, but I don't.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Well, they have to work with the team to figure
out the nil. So basically the nil and the distribution
of the NF nil and how many guys in each
room you know, running back room, d line, so on
and so forth.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
So it's like an NFLGS.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Yeah, basically, I mean they have to you have to
be more balanced. You cannot just depend on the head
coach and the assistance anymore and the recruiting coordinator quote
unquote to balance things out. You need a real brain
trust to do it. And that's the direction that they
went in. I don't know if he frosted his tips
like his dad. What did you what?

Speaker 2 (15:09):
I heard that he's just the guy that manages the general.
Every team has a general, and general, you know, runs
the team. And this is the guy that manages that guy.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
Like the insurance general.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Exactly right. See how he manages Shack, keeps him in
line in those commercials, it's a little guy out. He's
a little cartoon guy.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
A little Robert E. Lee looking guy, but with an
American out and okay, we got let's go, peple, what
are you gonna do with general? We gotta come up
with a guy that looks like a general. Okay, let's
get Bobby Lee, but put a World War two outfit
on him and there you go, there's our general. I
love it.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
We're gonna sell a lot of insurance.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Good luck managing that guy. We'll be right back with
more Petro somebody on AMPI seventy LA Sports, Don McLain
with basketball hoop Knowledge, Neck.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
Betro saying Money and five seventy LA Sports Live Everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app. Couple segments to go as at
seven o'clock, we'll throw it over to Fox Sports Radio,
but don't go anywhere as UCLA basketball tips off at eight,
so we will have that Bruin pro pregame going into
the contest against Washington that will tip at eight o'clock.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Sign for Don McLain, the BFF of the Petroson Money Show,
Live from San Ramon right now? That's your Why do
you see him on the Big Ten Network? At Best One?
He works for CAA and Fan Newest Sports. We trust
him more and his basketball opinion more than any other opinion.

(16:41):
He is the parent of Box Canyon and the next
ass he kisses, well, that'll be the first on your
Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline. It is immortalized in
Lemon Park with a beautiful statue that you can see
in his hometown of Siami Valleys. Don McClain, everybody live
from San Ramon. What's craging?

Speaker 2 (17:01):
Don?

Speaker 1 (17:02):
How are you pee?

Speaker 4 (17:03):
I'm in San Ramon because I did Oregon State Pepperdine
last night and I have Oregon State Santa Clara tomorrow.
But the facility in San Ramon was built by all
the pac twelve schools before the PAC twelve became the
PAC two, And so this facility is producing all of
Oregon State and Washington State's football and basketball games, as

(17:26):
well as Olympic sports too. So I've kept that connection
because a lot of the same people that were PACK
twelve Conference and PAC twelve Network are at this facility.
And so it's kind of a two game reuniting, if
you will, with the people up here. So it's been fun.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
Have you worn indigenous California garb to kind of pay
homage to San Ramon, like a big sombrero or anything
like that? A little different? You know?

Speaker 4 (17:53):
No, I haven't what I did do today, And you
guys know that I don't do many other shows other
than yours. But once year because he asked the best questions,
and I know you know he and I know you've
probably been on the show a million times. I was
on with the Great Mike Parker. Oh yeah, Joe Baber.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
We had a fine out. Oh you did well. He
got mad, He got mad, he got mad at me.
Last year, they brought me on to talk about, you know,
a game that they were playing. I was calling and
they started asking me about all the legal stuff, and
I told him, you know, I don't really know, you know,
what's going to happen. You know, I'm more involved, you know,
in the ex's and o's of the game, you know,
because we're in the season, and he's like, we're fighting

(18:32):
for our lives up there. And that's the last I've
heard of him. But he is the best. I love
Mike Parker. Please tell him we said hello.

Speaker 4 (18:38):
He always tells me, we won't keep you along in.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
Minimum twenty five.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
You're doing thirty five?

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yeah, yeah, easily, Joe bab You let your guard down, Don,
and you're a half hour in. That's the way the
old joke.

Speaker 4 (18:52):
He asked he does his homework. He asked really good questions. Yeah,
they deserve long answers. And so even if I if
I wanted to cut it off, I don't even.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
Think I could. Unlike this show, we asked terrible questions.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
Yea. As the interview goes on, Don's answers gets shorter
and shorter and more and more clear. The uh.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
I don't know if you saw it yet, Don, But
Joe Lenardi posted his first bracketology today. Run a couple
of these bias. See what you think he's got Ucla
as an eight seed, and he's got ten teams from
the Big Ten in last for our first four out
both IU and Nebraska, last four in Ohio State is
in there? Does that there? Ten sound about right? And

(19:35):
Ucla is an eight seeds? Sound about right?

Speaker 5 (19:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (19:38):
I think ten sounds about right. I think there's still
a long ways to go because the Big Ten is
so balanced and there's not any real favorites yet. I mean,
Michigan State's still undefeated, but they've they've had a softer
schedule to start league play than most, so we'll see
what happens with them. But yeah, I mean I think
I think the Big Ten and I've got getting to

(20:00):
that conference and how they operate and the resources that
they have and just everything about that conference. You know,
screens that they're going to get in a bunch of teams,
they just do. And so I think it'll stay around ten.
We'll see. As far as Ucla, I think I think
they are in eight seed right now. You know, they
lost four in a row and didn't look like maybe

(20:21):
they followed even out of consideration for the tournament, but
they've righted the ship. Beat Iowa be Wisconsin and now
it looks like they're on a path. You know, they
got a tricky one at Washington to night. Washington plays
much better at home than they do on the road, and.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
So we'll see.

Speaker 4 (20:36):
But I think for for Mick Cronin in that team,
it's about continuing to evolve. You know, a great sign
that a Die Mara played so well the other night.
They need Amara and Kyle. That's the one thing about
the Big Ten. It is big, and if you don't
have multiple bigs, you got a problem. And I think
Mick has recognized that, and he's given Kyle and Mara
more of an opportunity to prove that they can play

(20:58):
minutes and affect winning in those minutes, because I don't
think UCLA can can continue to win and go through
this Big Ten gauntlet without more depth from the from
you know that five spot, and Bill Adell is really
not even a five. He's playing the five, but he's
not a five, and so those two are going to
be really critical down the stretch.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Here.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
Don is that because after the Wisconsin game, Mara played
so well and I don't know if he was suggesting
this or if I just read into it, but it
was almost like Mick was intimating that, yeah, this was
a matchup thing. You know that that's what Wisconsin has
and it's a great matchup formrow almost I don't know,
I felt like maybe indicating that this isn't going to
be his deal all the time. Do you think that's

(21:39):
kind of his future for the rest of this year,
that he's just sort of a matchup based player. Can
they use him to force the hand of the opponent,
because man, he looked damn effective out there.

Speaker 4 (21:48):
Yeah, I think there are certain matchups where Mara just
can't play, Like if you get like against Michigan State
when they play them, they got Xavier Booker who will
throw Maro around like a rag doll. Like that's not
a matchup for him. And so yeah, but again what
I said earlier, I think he has to play those two,
Kyle and Mara because of how big the Big ten is,

(22:09):
and so I think the matchup part becomes, Okay, Well,
some nights he's going to play seven, eight, nine minutes,
ten minutes, and then some nights like against Wisconsin, he'll
play a bunch of minutes and especially and you guys
have seen how Mick does it. If you get if
you come in and you affect the game, You're going
to stay in the game. And I think that's what happened.
The other night was Wisconsin.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
The One and only Don McClain is our guest. Don,
where is the Golden gate Bridge? In relation to San
Ramon that's over there? Copy that nice love to. I mean,
I'd love to hear that. As far as just the
emotional part of this goes. And like the trajectory of
a college basketball season, last time you were in here

(22:50):
hosting the show, we talked about how Mick Cronin has
like a meltdown every year and then the team sort
of ends up responding, and it seems like that's happened
to again. Is that Is that your impression of it
or is it more complicated than that.

Speaker 4 (23:05):
I think it's more complicated than that piece, And it
didn't happen the first meltdown they I think it was.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
The takes a lot to set in.

Speaker 4 (23:11):
It's like you know, prozacor yeah, yeah, heed to lose
three in a row after that, I believe.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
But I think his.

Speaker 4 (23:20):
Message is his message, and you know, he he does
that to get his team going. And maybe it didn't initially,
but they seem to be playing better. And I think,
you know, once, once these players understand what's expected, and
maybe they need a reminder mid season from him in
the media, then they start playing better. And it's it's
all about the effort and the toughness in the defense

(23:42):
and not turning it over on the other end. And
when they when they adhere to that formula, they usually
win games. And they won the last two.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
The One and only Don McClain's Live from San Ramon
and his Guieme era joining us right now on the
Petros and Money Show, were I was happy to talk
to Don Uh, Don Uh. The Lakers lost to the
Clippers you saw the other night. Then the Clippers don't
play anybody and stay real close to the Celtics, who

(24:14):
are the defending champs, and then the Lakers turn around
the next night and blow the Celtics out of the
water like they're nothing. Well, I mean, and now everybody's
freaking out that the Lakers have found something. What are
we supposed to how are we supposed to process this?

Speaker 2 (24:29):
I don't know, Pee, I really don't.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
You know.

Speaker 4 (24:32):
With the Clippers, they've always been about managing minutes and
managing back to backs, and because of the schedule change
and that's Charlotte game being postponed. It rearrange the schedule,
and so there they were in the midst of four
and five nights, which you don't see anymore in the NBA.
And so they manage that and guys sat which I get.
I get that. And so it's really about for the

(24:53):
Clippers just being right in April, and it's been that
way for a long time, that we want everyone healthy
and rested. And if it means that we're a six
seed or a five seed versus a two or a one,
we don't care because we we we believe in what
we do and how we manage guys minutes, and so
if we got to take a couple l's to do that,

(25:15):
so be it. And and we'll see how it works
this year, you know, especially with Kawhi In terms of Lakers, well,
we've we've known that. I don't know why people are
freaking out. Now they've proven that they can beat anybody
in the league on any night. The problem is the consistency.
Why can't you do that six nights in a row?
You know, rise up for the Celtics, We'll rise up
for the Hornets when they come to town or the Raptors,

(25:37):
you know, And that's I think that's the frustrating part
if you're a Laker fans like you see it against
one of the best teams in the league and the Celtics,
but then you drop a home game to the Jazz
two nights later or something like that. So that's that's
that's the frustrating part.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
Who are you working with this weekend, Jimmy Butler, no
GB long oh oh yeah, same initials. Well, we appreciate you,
Don and have a wonderful call up there and send Ramo. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (26:07):

you got the dead guy birthday of the day.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yeah, I do. Today's dead guy a name that we
should know, I think, but don't A real guy behind
the guy, or maybe a guy behind the guys in
this case, they happy would have been two hundred and
seventy First to Andrew Ellicott born in Bucks County, PA.
First to nine kids in his Quaker family, father was

(28:28):
a miller and a clockmaker. They lived modestly. They were
Quakers educated at the local Quaker school. Teacher would become
a professor and ultimately the I guess president of penn
University of Pennsylvania. Andrew showed early talent in math, good
at mechanical things, so saved up some money set up

(28:49):
a million business Ella Coott's Mills, just outside Baltimore, known
today as Ellicott City. As a matter of fact, Miss
Wow Sweet. When the war broke out, though despite his
Quaker background, he says, I want to fight.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
I want to fight. He joined the Nations. In my ass,
I want to kill someone, that's right.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
He joined the elk Ridged Battalion of the Maryland Militia.
He rose to the rank of major and after the
Revolutionary War returned home to his wife's Sarah, their two children,
to run Ellicott's mills. But America came calling. They wanted
him to run the survey group extending the Mason Dixon
line for borders between Pennsylvania and Delaware with Maryland.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
That's important, James, That's an important border configuration there.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
Yeah, I mean talking about the birth of the United
States here. You know the states are united, but how
are they united with borders? And that's where our man
comes in. He and James Madison, as a matter of fact,
they knocked it out now, recognizing it wouldn't be the
last time they would call on him. He moved the
family to Baltimore. He taught math at the Baltimore Academy,
was elected to the state legislature. But this survey work

(29:52):
kept coming and coming. This time Ellicott needed to define
the western border of Pennsylvania and Ohio to settle that dispute.
Who knows what could have been on where he decided
to set up God longitude.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
I could Brady Quinn versus Levard be horrible.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Who knew? It's called the Ellicott line. As a matter
of fact, that western border. He was brought into the
American Philosophical Society would verbally tangle regularly with Ben Franklin,
who became a great admirer of his, and after George
Washington was elected president, pretty much said, this is the
guy that's drawing our map. He's doing it all. So
whatever border they needed, Ellicott was the guy. They called

(30:30):
Western New York and the US Federal Territory the Eerie Triangle.
The first study of the Niagara River and Niagara Falls
all Ellacott. Then he got the call from Secretary of
State Thomas Jefferson, who wanted him to draw what would
become Washington City, originally the District of Columbia what was
then the Territory of Columbia. Washington City is how they

(30:52):
wanted to do it. He was forced to work with
Frenchman Pierre Charles le Font, who was often credited with
laying out Washington, DC. But they say, oh no, the
guy was a pain the ass, and Andy was the
guy that did it all. His team put into place
forty boundary stones, approximately one mile apart from each other,
that marked the borders of the Territory of Columbia a
hundred square miles. Today, most of those stones are still

(31:13):
there with engravings showing Ellicott's southwestern southeastern border with Virginia
and the northwestern northeastern border with Maryland. The Library of
Congress attributed the seventeen ninety three Ellicott's earliest map of
the territory of Columbia that basically shows how he wanted
to lay the nation's capital out. In seventeen ninety six,

(31:34):
George Washington commissioned him to survey the southern border between
these Spanish territories along the Gulf of Mexico and Florida.
Spent four years doing that, and his survey line still
lives today. The border between Alabama and Florida is what
Elicott drew up. So Panhandle. Who knows where there have
been a panandle with our Aman Ellicott don't know. I mean,

(31:58):
you got that beautiful house Riviera, the Basacola.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
Where would we have role tide roll the great Mike
Price Infidelity Hooker.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
Storm Exactly right, because of our guy Ellicott President.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Some of those southern borders, you know, ended up in
a war with Mexico. But hey, that's cool whatever, that
was their problem. He was asked by Thomas Jack you've
got more land. Who really was their problem coming for Panama?

Speaker 2 (32:22):
Uh, Tommy Jefferson asked them to become the Surveyor General
of the Northwest Territory and he said, I'm too old
for this. I can't do that. S man. He said,
all right, well there's this guy in Merriwether Lewis. Can
you at least take him in and show him the ropes?
And so Merriweather Lewis from the famous Lewis and Clark
expedition lived with Ellicott in his home for a few months,

(32:43):
and Ellicott made many recommendations on the expeditions equipment, survey procedures,
and basically they were all followed by that pair. Retire
from surveying to teach math at West Point, Andrew Ellicott
that's all he could do.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
So all we can do today is celebrate Jamaican news.
Matt forty six years old today Reggae dance hall star
Glendale Reno Devon Gordon also known as Busy Signals, Oh yeah,
busy shit to new Business. Forty six years old, like

(33:19):
we said today from Saint Anne Parish, Jamaica. Been very active.
It's very active for about twenty two years. Matt not
a dreadlock, not a gangster. Falls more into the world
of dance hall, between being a lover and uh, kind
of a party guy.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
Do you have like a cameo high top fade?

Speaker 1 (33:43):
Yeah, a little, No, he's got He's sort of bald,
but he wears big sunglasses.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
Like the ones you get at a carnival that are gigantic.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
No, no, not that big, somewhere between normal sunglasses and
the carnival goofy sun. Okay. But he can construct the albums,
which is not common for dancehall stars. He's got five
at least. He's still on reggae's number one label, Patricia
Chin's label and Randy Chin the one founded in Jamaica,
now moved to Queens, New York VP Records. His name

(34:16):
is Busy Signal because he was always so busy as
a young man, seeming so busy, seemingly popular like Matt.
You know Beach City's Matt is like Busy Signal in Kingston, Jamaica.
Just like of the nineties, his life was not without hardship.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
Matt.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
He spent time in Jamaica's and he's mostly connected to
Jamaica's worst project for one of them, Tivoli Gardens. He
went to Brownstown High School, Home of the Browns, and
by his early twenties he was a star on the island.
Now big setback when he was arrested at the airport
in Kingston in twenty twelve to face nine year old

(34:56):
cocaine trafficking charges that he got snatched up for in
many Appolis, of all places, and did six months in
prison and was fined thirty thousand dollars. But Busy Signal
emerged from that unscathed. He was arrested again in Trinidad
in twenty fifteen, catch and release, catch and release dispute

(35:18):
for money with a promoter. You run into that all
the time, Matt, certainly bb.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
Sometimes those promoters are thirty man. Don't be pinning it
on Busy Signal all the time.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
Matt got into a knife fight with Paul Hennessy on
Main Street because they didn't pay Preston right.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
Paul Matt burn Hennessy's to the ground.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Matt took a stab to the hand, but that's how
he got to Hennessy's shoulder and cut his rotator cup.
One of the great knife fights in seal beats twenty
first century and they have a lot, they still talk
about it. He will go back to Trinidad. I don't
think he can come back to America. But his Live
from Paris album is pretty good. And this is him
live and Rata Tom which is a huge European reggae festival,

(36:00):
has his name in a signature way like pussy.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
Like that and yeah, I just heard in the background there, Yes.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
And he is. His company is called Turf Entertainment, perfuh.
Major Laser's biggest song is his this one watch out
Fidis or Boom Bayer and that is busy signal Jamaican superstar.
Thank you, no need to applaud German reggae crowd, and

(36:28):
we shall return on Monday. It's a schedule looking like
case two o'clock show from two to five.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
Have got Clippers back on the road next week, Back
back back clipsby suns our favorite two to five thirty.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
Well you can yell at a kid eating a steak
and a sweet while you're headed to the locker room.
Nothing better. We'll be right back with more great sports
talk on Monday. Like we said to it our flex Alert.
