story of well.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Building on what David Vess shared with us about forty
minutes ago, this is gonna be fun. I think what
what was the guy's name that called Dave Chris? I
think about Chris, the emotional caller who engaged are intrepid
Dodger reporter David Vessey with his June the third soliloquy, Yeah,
(02:45):
it was less centered on his perceptions, his appreciation, his
enjoyment of his beloved Dodgers, and more about the outside noise.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Well, it was specifically the Giant. Yeah, you know they
won those three three titles and back. I mean it
was a real yeah, yeah, I mean it was a
real punch to the urethra.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Friends, co workers, maybe just complete strangers.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Barry Tompkins, you know, in the in the right, it
was blood in, blood out. I mean, his his wife
worked for the Giants. I just had to wear it.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
I've seen the Dodgers collapse year after year after year,
and they wear down and the big payroll stars wear down,
and the one year they win, it's a sixty game
seasons effectively, June the third is what after sixty games?
So I mean to call that a championship. It pissed
me off they didn't win this year because I've been
hearing the Giants fans over and over agaid, this is
(03:41):
the real championship year it is, because that's doing the
third David.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah, emotional. Chris Scott The Giant fans were criticizing the
twenty twenty COVID champions. They they were one on a
limited regular season schedule, limited fan interaction environment in Arlington, Texas. However,
if you will lucky enough to win a contest from
pantone two, nine to four, you cannot bring a plus one,
but you may be my plus one. Yeah, and we
(04:08):
will be sharing a room.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I'm gonna bring this plus four plus four gigantic boot.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
We have rehashed it a million times. Instead of leaning,
do you.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Like a drink? No, thanks, I'm gonna be breastfeeding the.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Entire time of Dallas. Look who won our contest? Hey,
I noticed that we had to submit a photo.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Hey, I really resents money. Yeah for saying that about me?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Resent us all you want to call.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
My character into question in such a way?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I four, Yeah, we did. You posted the photo?
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Man.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
We don't regularly cite the extra obstacles. The Dodgers team
faced the extra playoff round no home field in the
nlcs A World Series, negating how the club was built
to compete at Dodger Stadium for half of a regular season.
In the playoffs, they had the record and were treated
like every other team, which is why last year was
the exhale we talked about it repeatedly, filled with incredible
(05:07):
accomplishments team and personal. The arrival of Atani, the debut
of Yamamoto, the attempt by Mookie Betts to do something
perhaps only he would be able to accomplish, switch positions
after six gold gloves, and right field to take on
the task of taming a middle infield spot a keystone,
(05:28):
new position, new position to a team's defensive success. It
was fun. Otani was everything that was advertised in More
Way More and it interment pitch a Bonzian figure every
time he stepped into the box must watch TV for
one hundred and sixty two.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Games Buza now buzza.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
It did help that the Dodgers were painted by the
national media as a team that would probably be a
year away, would have to await Otani's return from Tommy
John to join the rotation for that investment to fully
pay off in a World Series title. The Breaks and
Phillies were co favorites to come out of the National League.
The Padres were pushed as the roster more replete with
ready to win regulars. The last remnants of the Peter
(06:09):
Sidler shove all his chips into the center of the
table and the hopes his team could complete a championship
run before succumbing to cancer. Sadly, they didn't. The Dodgers
did not push back on any of those designations, proclamations, predictions. Instead,
just went to work absorbing one verbal critique and criticism
(06:31):
after another. Why waist Mookie's gold glove in the outfield
by putting them at shortstop Yamamoto for three hundred and
twenty five million dollars. The guy's never thrown a pitch
in the big leagues. It is the height of subris.
Tyler glasnow can't, won't, and isn't capable of staying healthy
and didn't. Even the ta Oscar Hernandez signing was slighted
(06:55):
as a serious overpay, suggesting the advanced metch ricks that
the Dodgers deployed were clouding what was a platoon at
best and mediocre defensive outfielder in a reach in a grab,
a grasp at something. Because the market had dried up on.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Most of the people we talked to nationally were very skeptical,
skeptical about the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Chance, and they overcame it all pe Yes, they started
the playoffs, I remember one and two old of the Padres,
only to win back to back games in the most
dramatic fashion. It was almost enough. It was special that
exercised the demons from the two previous playoff failures to
knock off the Yankees in the World Series should have
been the pinnacle, something totally unmatched, but in the context
(07:41):
of the challenges presented over the course of the eight months,
it just felt like it was another piece, an equal
piece to the rest of the puzzle that went put
together resulted in what Chris can finally celebrate a full
season World Series title, their first in thirty six years.
It was a true ex hale. You win a World Series,
(08:06):
you boast the biggest bunch of superstars on your roster,
and you follow up a one point four billion dollar
off season with another half a billion dollar off season,
landing player after player other fans front offices, very likely
the Commissioner of Baseball hoping would sign elsewhere. The collective
negative energy directed at these Dodgers will rival that of
(08:27):
the nineties Yankees, who snatched up every other team's free
agent that they could not afford to match what they
were being offered by the team nicknamed the Evil Empire,
and all they did was win World Series after World
Series after World Series, including three in a row to
end the decade. It didn't affect them one bit. Why
(08:50):
because they had the best team. They had the best pitchers,
they had the best bullpen, they had the best lineup,
they had the best leadership, they had the best manager,
they had the best payroll, and it had a feeling
of inevitability to it at the time. Working anybody working
in an industry where you had a New York office,
(09:11):
you had to hear it, those lunkheaded New Yorkers barking
season in and season out about my Yankees, my Yankees,
the captain Barrick Jeter. But that's a magical time for
the Yankee.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Fairly it was.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
And they would tell you, in a moment of honesty,
perhaps over a drink at a quiet bar, that it
was almost hard to enjoy that it was World Series
or bust, that anything less would be met with ungodly
amounts of criticism and insults. And even if they did
(09:48):
win the World Series, it was well, of course.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
You won, Well, why what do you expect you spent.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
The most money, you have the best players. Of course,
you wouldn't stop your gloating. So where are we at?
This could be the most entertaining season for Dodger fans
since those dominant late seventies early eighties incarnations featuring the
fame should be Hall of Famer Steve Garvey, They'll tell Hartman,
(10:14):
according to himself, the should be Hall of Famer, Ron say,
don't tell Hartin. Russell Lopes doping it out with the
Reds in the National League, the Yankees in the World Series,
a clash of Baseball Titans. When baseball was America's pastime,
the most popular sport of the nation. The Boys of
Summer that it's supposed to be pitchers and catchers at
(10:35):
camelback right now. Yet David Besse last hour is talking
about the Sue Who's scrap book with candids of Mookie
at short and high. Sung Hus Sung Kim is like
one of the guys at second base, Otani on the mound,
Sasaki in the stretch. Quotes from Betts bemoaning the line
of questioning being centered on defending their World Series title
(10:56):
instead of what they're gonna do to get ready for
Game one in a month out guys where one hundred
million dollars arrived ahead his schedule, not to play Gin
Rummy and drink American Loggers together, but to get the work.
Recognizing a repeat will be considerably harder, even with a
(11:16):
considerably better roster than last year's run, because of all
the attention to their nearly five hundred million dollar competitive
balanced tax total. But they're not fat cats cash and
checks cut for past performance. No, they are dead set
on delivering history. It starts at the top Otani and Betts.
(11:39):
Snell taken less to be part of this rotation, Sasaki
choosing the Dodgers over the other twenty nine teams that
would have offered him whatever he wanted to sign. There
the most dominant bullpen on paper we have had here
in Dodger blew in decades, legitimately five guys Copeck trying
in Phillips, Scott in Yates that would be without question
(12:00):
closers on at least half the other clubs across this league.
I think back to the Kershaw Granky years and how
great it was to be at the ballpark for one
of those starts versus the other three guys that might
get out there.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
I mean at one point.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
No, no, take your pick. You want the nips and
the six pack of glass now, the savvy of butthole
eyes Snell a two time cy Young Award winner, playoff
hero Yama Moto my nips.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
You're talking about his nipples?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Yes, yes, yes, his nipples. Playoff hero Yamamoto, who is
the most fashionable of the bunch, spends a considerable amount
of money on his outfits. The young kid in Sasaki
six ' three, wiry, throwing over one hundred miles an
hour deep into the games, or of course Otani and
when Otani takes them mount Let's not forget what it
looked like and what it felt like at Crypto when
(12:56):
Luca made his debut. Multiply that by ten, not an exaggeration.
By ten is what it's gonna feel like at Dodger Stadium.
Point Bean, get to Arizona, Get to the backfields, get
to the warm ups. Get on this from the jump.
(13:16):
We love spring training on the Petros and Money Show.
Oh we go every year, except we topped years ago.
Except the plug was pulled on our spring training participation.
And perhaps it's time for Tim Kates to march his
way down to the corner office, sans doctor Zais or
the judge.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Hey, just finish your college basketball season first. There, Billy Patt,
we can make Hey, Billy, what do you just finish
your finished your season first? Okay?

To Diablo, to the Salt River Flats.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Before you send me to Goodyear or surprise. But you
just finished. I'm not taking anyone. It's time to do
it again. Get your internet searches up and running. Consume
one article after another detailing what's going out there, going
on out there in Glendale. Here's here's a recording of
us at spring training. How was golf, Matt? Now, how
(14:16):
was a go track?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Get out to Arizona. Get down there, Kate's let's figure
out when we're going. I have time to infiltrate a
urologist convention. It's been too long.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I did not have the Mark Anthony Dodgers speech from
Matt Smith before Valentine's Day.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
I mean I saw way back, man, I saw it
on the plane and I was like.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Man, we gotta get out these days. I expect it.
You know, when you put your allision theater voice on
I expected. I expect it before opening day. I expect it,
you know, before the playoffs series, after the World's when
they signed somebody big.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
We're mission it, p We're missing it man. February twelveth,
It's all happening out there in Glendale, Arizona.
Speaker 4 (15:08):

Grecryan in Long Beach.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
We gotta hit up the gas station on the corner
and get a lottery ticket.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Dave's level of celebrity. I'm not saying I'm jealous, but
it's starting to bother me. I got like two texts,
like I'm in a restaurant in David vests here. It's
like yes.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
So that's what it means, Man, Tolly does is go
to restaurants. That's what it means this year, Pee, I'm gonna.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Have breakfast with Doug and then I'm gonna go to
PRESIDENTA and meet my cousin.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
We gotta go to Marley's. We gotta get diarrhea from

It's gotta happen.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Well, there's a dental hygienis convention at the Hyatt that
is calling our name.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
We will cover it as a station regardless. We'll discuss
this during the break.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Sue scrap book man, thump through those photos and tell
me you don't want to be there.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
It is a nostalgic feeling to be out there. There's
no doubt.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Canting about the car. If the plane gets canceled, he'll
drive us back.
Speaker 3 (16:09):

Well, Matt, we're here to celebrate our friend Eric Allen,

(17:53):
course deservedly so. Eric Allen, Congratulations, Eric, We've talked about
this for years. How did it feel when you got
the when you got the notification?
Speaker 6 (18:03):
First of all, you guys are awesome. TK is the best,
totally all interviews to hold off until TK calls.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
I had to get JT in to break their first.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
JT was first, but that TK was second and you
guys to listen to you guys all the time.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
You guys are great. But let me tell you, guys.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
You know when you're on the roller coaster and you're
just you're climbing up, You're climbing up, You're climbing up,
and then you get that big, just exuberant, just fun dip.
It's just been that dip for the past week or so.
It's just been riding on cloud nine and the famili's
able to share in it.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
But it was really cool. The guy who.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Came to my door was Randall McDaniel, and my wife had.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Scurce between three people.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
See, they gave her Marcus, who's you know, San Diego
legend and I love Marcus. They gave him, they gave
her Mike Haynes, who Mike is him and Diona I
think are the best corners to ever played football, and
then they gave her random McDaniel. So she chose Randall,
which was great because Rando and I took our recruiting
(19:09):
trip out.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Of high school to college and we, you know, really bonded.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
And of course he was just a great offensive lineman,
you know, played fourteen years for the Vikings and it's
a Hall of Famer, So she kind of set up
the whole day. And I was definitely surprising random at
my door with the gold jacket, and it was just
so meaningful that he was the one who was here
with the committee. But it was awesome, and the Super
(19:35):
Bowl week great, you know, just meeting all the guys
who were already in the Hall of Fame can kind
of congratulating me, and you just never know who you
affect on your way up to the mountain. And now
that we're at the mountain, as far as being in
the Hall, is just very rewarding. And you still accomplished
(19:56):
and just been excited the whole couple of days here.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Well it's about to so we say on the Petros
and Money Show, it's about damn time.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Eric Allen's right.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
But a great class that you're going in with Antonio
Gates the all time leader in touchdown receptions by a
tight end, and Jared Allen quite possibly the most ferocious
pass rusher for a good period of when he was
playing in the league. I love that you brought that
up about the other Hall of Famers working with the Chargers.
You know, when I would when when Ladanian Tomlinson got in.
(20:25):
We were talking about it, and he said that was
his biggest takeaway. He's like, man, you just start telling
stories with all these other Hall of Famers and he said,
it's the coolest two days of your life. What was that?
Just kind of walk us through that again, because the
way he described it was really cool.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Oh yeah, it was awesome.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
So you know, he came to the door and so
big hugs, and then we went right back to, you know,
our college days. He kind of we're talking about that,
and everybody's like, hold up, hold up, now he made
the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
We're like okay, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
And then once we the super Bowl week. So we
get to the Super Bowl Week and of course it's
a very small class and they had explained to us
when we got to I think it was the ten finalists.
They're like, we just wanted you guys to know that
we've changed kind of like the process, and they kind
of explained the process like from now on, when it
(21:17):
gets to ten, instead of it being seventy percent or
seventy five percent, now it has to be eighty five
percent for the guys to get in. So they're going
to make it a little tougher. I think they pulled
some uh some writers off and put some Hall of
Flame players in. I guess there's a bunch of stuff
that's been going on. So anyway, we get there, we're
(21:38):
super excited. It's a really small class, just four guys,
and Sterling and I were matching up in All Star
Games coming out of college, and I remember with him
it was like, he's from the South, I'm from the
West Coast, and we were used to similar type of players,
like I'm you know, I was used to fast guys
and he's used the big guys. So we get the
(22:00):
practice in that first day and me and him are
matching up and it's like, goodness, gracious, this dude is
like two hundred and thirty pounds. I'm like, I'm not
used to trying to bump and run this guy. So
after practice, me and him kind of go into our
rooms and we're talking about, Okay, why did you do
this and why did we do that?
Speaker 4 (22:19):
So the next day at practice, you know, we're a
little bit sharper.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
So me and him have had a good conversation and
then a great relationship, and he was one of the
only guys when we played I would talk to in
the field. I was like, hey, man, the week we're
playing Sterling, I was in the weight room like lifting
weights and stuff, and everybody's like, oh, yeah, you're playing sturdy.
You want to be strong. He's like, no, I have
to lift weight so I could be strong enough to
(22:43):
get him off of me because he's trying.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
To grab me because he's so strong. You know.
Speaker 6 (22:47):
So it's just great going in with starting a guy
I known and was just a phenomenal.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Player when he was playing.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
We have a great relationship and everybody knows his brother, Shannon,
and Shannon made a great point and his induction. He
was like, I'm the only Hall of Famer who is
not the best football player in my family. And you know,
that's really resonated with a lot of people. But just
the big thing coming off of Super Bowl weekend, guys,
is you just.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
Never know who you affect and how you affect him.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
You know, when I walked on the stage at Honors,
the first person that kind.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Of gave me a big bear hug was ray Lewis.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
And I played against ray Lewis twice and ray Lewis
from Miami, you know, from California, we've never really had
time to kick back and talk. But he grabbed me
and has he's bear hugging me.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
On the stage. I'm like, dude, let me go.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
But he's saying like a coach from the Eagles went
to Baltimore and told him like, hey, man, Ea, all
he does is prep and study. So there's not a formation,
there's not a play that he hasn't seen. And that
really affected him and he started preparing that way and
he let me know that on that day. So that's
(24:01):
what the guys you're talking about when they're talking about playing,
you know, a ball and you never know who you're
gonna affect, and when you get into these situations with
these all other Hall of Fame guys, those are the
stories that they're telling.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
People are aware of you that you would never even
imagine Eric Allen joining us right now NFL Hall of
Famer and sharing some wonderful memories of what was a
great weekend for the Eagles fans and for Ea and
everybody involved. Really, were you surprised that the Eagles dominated
in that way? I mean, to get into the Hall
(24:34):
of Fame and then have your birds win like that.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
So of course, Jared Allen used to be a cheat.
So we were kind of going back and forth the
whole couple of days, like, hey man, you know Chiefs
are gonna you know repeat, I was like.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
I don't think so.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
Frontline, obviously, the Chiefs have Patrick who's an unbelievable player.
Everybody kind of understands that. But the Eagles brought in
this year I think outstanding onsive line, which they always have,
But defensively they were playing the best they've played in
(25:10):
a long time. They have young guys up front, particularly
in the middle of the field. Their two part of
that kid is unbelievable. Both those tackles are great. Zach
is a middle linebacker. He's in his fifth or sixth
year playing great. The two safts are awesome, and then
they're two corners. Cooper dejen and Quinnyon are sticky and
(25:31):
really really good football players. And what they were able
to do this year on defense just kind of blew
me away. And then in the game only having to
rush four guys and playing like a cover four behind
it some match stuff. I thought they were on their game.
It's just the Chiefs didn't have enough personnel wise to
be able to match up with them. So I wasn't
(25:51):
surprised that the Eagles won, but I was surprised by
the beatdown that the Chiefs took.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Did you think back to two years ago, because it's
a lot look that rookie corner is notwithstanding, but it's
a lot of the same personnel up front. If not,
you know, you had the had Fletcher Cox out there
and stuff, and remember that field was just trash. Do
you think, yeah, that this was kind of a reminder of, Hey,
this is what it should have looked like two years
ago on this defense. But they just kept slipping all
over the damn field.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
That's a great point.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
That's a great point because that defense that went in
was so heavily about the pass rush. The back end
wasn't as strong as this year's back in, but you
are right that feel really slowed down the pass rush.
And if you can remember, that's all the Eagles were
doing particklarly in that game against the forty nine ers.
(26:38):
I think they knocked out the two of the quoter
backs in the NFC Championship game, right, So, so yeah,
that's what that game was about, and that field really
helped that Chiefs football team. And although both quarterbacks played
really well. I thought this time playing inside, not having
that as an issue was big because I thought right
(26:59):
on that the defensive line was just dominant. I'm not
sure if they ever lost a pass rus battle from
the first one to the last one. So I think
the Eagles deserve a lot of credit, and they're young
and this could be a nice little run for the Birds.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Yeah, that's why we would lose it. Notre Dame. When
we were at USC it was the field. The field
was so slippery we could I'll take that. Eric Allen
is our guest. Of course, we talked to you about
Pete Carroll last time you joined us, and we were
rallying for this great Hall of Fame moment, which happened.
He's rounded out the staff with both his sons and
(27:39):
Chip Kelly, so yeah, you got to be pretty excited.
But then the question out there lingers, you know, who's
going to play quarterback and compete with all these other quarterbacks?
Speaker 6 (27:49):
And I think everybody understands that. And we're not, like
we talked about earlier. We're not starting on the ground floor.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
I thought.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
Ap as far as energy wise and what the guys
are playing for each week, you know we have a
head start on that, but heat is just a whole
nother level. You have so much experience, and when you're
playing these coaches that we have to uh coach against
in our division, with the Chiefs and the Chargers and
the Broncos, you have to find out you have to
(28:18):
find a good way to have a coach who has
had success against those guys. But it is all about
the quarterback. And one thing I like about what Pete
is talking and what he's selling is, yes, we need
a quarterback, but that's not the only thing that this
team is going to be built around. It's going to
be built around certain pillars that is going to help
(28:38):
the quarterback be an essential part of the team. And
I think the guys are going to buy that. I
think heaps selling it. Having his sons on staff is great.
I think that's the opportunity that you get in any
NFL locker room upstairs. On the field, you're gonna have
some nepotism. And you know what it's all about if
you can meet the moment, and that's what it's about.
(29:00):
It's about meeting the moment. And I have a lot
of confidence and teeth he has done it before, and
I think this group is really gonna buy in.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Tell you what it's all about. It's all about Saturday,
August second, twenty twenty five and EA's big ass Hall
of Fame private party that we're all going to and
can't That's what it's all about.

for him.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Right there on the fly Matt Smith kids, Okay, we're
gonna do the Pico and fair fact segment very many,
very next segment, but right now, and I gotta say, Matt,
I learned something almost maybe more impactful in my life
from this dead guy birthday of the day that I
thought I knew everything about. I learned something more impactful
(31:52):
than when I learned which I often reference, that shock
g and Humpty Hump were the same guy. And now
I learned that like twenty five years too late, and
it blew me away. This also all rightp Shuckchi blew
me away and Humpty rip, Humpty Hump. They're buried right
next to each other.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
It's when I am sit even shary coffin, like like
which whatever one of you dies first gets cremated and
then you bury the other one with the ashes.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
It's just like that. They have their own family. Mauzley,
this is Jamaican News, so no one else is gonna care.
It's Jamaica News. Zig rocks to him. But for years
I was missing form on the legendary tenor saw Matt
(32:39):
him screaming and yelling in a crowd in Jamaica is
a perfect segue. This is the guy that's saying, ring
the alarm, ring the alarm. Now the sound is dying wall. Hey,
you know how old he was when he died, Matt,
I'm gonna go with forty five twenty one, Oh God, no,
(33:00):
arable only would have been fifty nine years old today.
Tenor Saw's real name Clive Bright born in Victoria Jubilee
Hospital in Kingston. Religious upbringing, saying in the seventh ad
Day Adventist Church. He wanted to be a star. He moved,
He did a lot of sound system stuff, and he
(33:21):
moved with Nitty Gritty, who was a famous singer of
that time as well, who was also murdered later, to
the Black Roots record label, and that led to big hits,
really big hits, many hits, legendary songs that made Tenor
Saw eventually the most influential reggae artist of the digital
(33:41):
reggae era. Songs like lots of sign roll call Pumpkin Belly,
and we still ask the question today, how wata waco
a pumpkin belly? And no one knows, No one answers.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
It's like mi izz hid in say it.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Run, Come call me fever, but Matt it was bring
Me Along on the Stalog rhythm that was the most
impactful to this day song and influencing a lot of
reggae From then on, he worked with all the ogs,
Cox and Dodd, King, Jammy and Duke Read. Moved to
Miami and recorded there in nineteen eighty eight, and on
(34:26):
July thirty first, Tenorsaga got hit by a car and
a hit and run in Houston, Texas and died of
head injuries and a lung infection later at the hospital,
and he was twenty one. Most people in Jamaica to
this day insist that he was murdered, and here's where
I come in. Oddly, several months later, a Jamaican newspaper
(34:49):
and every Jamaican newspaper afterwards reported him murdered a shot
four times in the head in New York City.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Well, that seems dramatically different.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Right, So because of a person who checked the Jamaican
news throughout my life, I was convinced to this day
until I look this up, that Tennor Saw was shot
in New York and not run over by a car
in Houston, Texas. Can you imagine the amount of misinformation
that I've been putting out there, I mean, no more
(35:21):
than usual.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
I guess it's unconscionable.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
I can't live with The song Who Killed tenor Saw
was by Nitty Gritty afterwards who was murdered in New
York Two years later, allegedly Nitty Gritty was murdered by
Supercat or his brother Junior Cat, and Supercat came out
with his own song Enough Man of Dead that also
(35:47):
lamented the death of both guys, even though he killed
one of them. Probably aside from the singer Matt who
you and I know is Bob Marley, he was Sublime's
biggest influence by fall okay, you know that Caressed Me
Down song and muss. Everything else they did was based
on you know their Their patterns and rhythms were from
(36:08):
Tees tenor Saw.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Yeah, you can hear that very much song?
Speaker 4 (36:11):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Does he also pronounce riot ryot?
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Yeah? And I believe Mexican.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
He also pronounced it Mexican? Can okay?
Speaker 3 (36:20):
Watch the sound Man a tremble, Watch the sound Man
Afraid the Great Krock Clive Bright. Was he murdered or
was it just some Texas guy that ran him over? Uh?
No one knows, but it wasn't by gun in New York.
It was by car in Houston.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
I mean for to the head, New York City, Houston.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
They said, that's what they told everybody.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Well, a mystery perhaps for you to patrol an update
a song.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Well, it's just some idiot in Jamaica got it wrong
and then that just perpetuated itself.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
It's see, you're a live guy. Canadian News, don't rick
our show you Hozer, hockey, mules and ice. Canadian News

When she was recording or when she was auditioning for
her role as Dil in Rugrats, it was kind of
a hey, we'll do your agent a favor. Sure, Clinton
read for Rugrats. They had decided and apparently had communicated
with the agent of Madonna, and Madonna wanted to do it,
but our girl Tara Strong was so good that they
were like f that. She's still sorry, Madonna, And.
