Speaker 6 (02:58):
Now, this slope before it was a BJS, we learned
was called the Safari Bar. But I learned from one
of our listeners, Rusty, who said this, what on Sunday nights,
a different promotion came in here, a more evil promotion.
What They blacked out all the walls and it became
(03:21):
a Piranha room.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
They called it the Piranha Room.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
And in the Piranha Room at least five men had
their puzzos bitten off by cougars.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Am I wrong?
Speaker 7 (03:35):
For real?
Speaker 5 (03:36):
It's like the nest in palm desert. You ain't getting
out of there a live. You go in there, they
will suck the meat off your bones. Dollar drinks, he
said too, Dollar drinks in the Piranha Room, A big
promotion on Sunday nights. Wow at the Safari Bar back
in the day. But now the history of this place
(03:56):
alone is unreal. Thank god we now have stability in
the world. We're hey, this is a beach as it's
time for quick hits.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Quick hits to get this quick hitch.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Come make it quick, y'all.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Yeah, we are still waiting on a ti Oscar Hernandez
decision and free agency.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Come on, tey Oscar, make a decision.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
What is the hold up?
Speaker 6 (04:26):
I could be his agent, wanting more years, more money,
but the well is starting to dry up and the
teams are starting to dwindle out as far as who
might be interested in him. Sammy sosaid, The Cubs reconcile
Thursday afternoon. How about this, Sammy Sosa? Seventeen years he
has been estranged from the Chicago Cubs. The former slugger
(04:46):
today issued an apology for being juiced, for juicing up
and saying, quote, he made mistakes during his playing career.
He did whatever he could to recover from injuries in
an effort to keep his st ain'ked up to perform
over one hundred and sixty two games a year. I
never broke any laws, but in hindsight, I made mistakes
(05:10):
and I apologize.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Wow, well, I hope that goes a long way after
it did.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Minutes after your head, minutes after the apology, almost like
they knew it was coming, the Chicago Cubs issued a
press release and said, we accept your apology, and we
are inviting you to the Winner Fan Convention for the
first time since two thousand and seven.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
I think that's great. Look, say what you want about
Sammy Sosa. Sure he bleached his skin, which is quite
prevalent in the Caribbean, by the way, And yes he
juiced up, but he was an inspirational figure, like he
would run and sprint out there with his big bulbacy.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Ass saved baseball night, and everybody loved it. Like that
guy played his ass off. He was you know, after
nine to eleven he ran around with a flag.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
I mean.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Even before nine eleven, ninety eight, it was him and
Maguire saving baseball with their home runs.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
I stayed usc football at ninety eight, did you no?
Speaker 6 (06:08):
No NBA Lakers and Sacramento taking on the Kings tonight.
Lebron James, by the way, pe endorsing the changes to
the NBA All Star Weekend, telling reporter, well, if Lebron
thinks it's cool, the King is speaking.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
The King is speaking. Bow to the King, please, King
James is speaking.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
How come everybody hates Lebron so much? He's like the
best player ever, say the King is speaking. Telling reporters today,
something had to change. Obviously, the last couple of years
have not been a great All Star Game on Sunday nights.
He added, it's not just the All Star Game, it's
our game in general. There's a lot of fing threes
(06:50):
being shot, so it's a bigger conversation than just the
All Star Game.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
The King got spoken. The King is spoken.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I heard that.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
That's how they used to pair off at the Diddy parties,
how they picked the All Star Game.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Allegedly.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Allegedly, if Lebron James says the NBA is not in
a good spot, then we all need to listen.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Listen up. The King is spoken.

After graduating from the University of Nebraska, he moved to Minneapolis.

Speaker 6 (08:36):
Oakerland, though, left the radio industry in nineteen seventy to
pursue his love of wrestling and the American Wrestling Association
the AWA, where he was the ring announcer and interview
player wrestlers before and after matches. It was there that
Jesse the body of Ventura, gave him the Moniker mean gene.
He left the AWA went to WWF.
Speaker 3 (08:58):

a nice guy.

of wrestling. AWA in the seventies, nineteen eighty three through
the early nineties, he was at the WWF. Then he
left to go to WCW in two thousand, where he
was there until they were swallowed up by the WWF,
which changed his name to the WWE. He's a member

kidney operations. He passed away January of twenty nineteen at
the age of seventy six. Sadly, Diamond Dallas Page DDP
says that not a lot of wrestlers showed up to
his funeral. A lot of the big time guys, like
Hog of them didn't show up, and DDP went on
(10:51):
a podcast and called them all out and said, how
dare you not show up for me and gene Oakerland.
A handful did show up at that ceremony. I don't
know that happy would have been eighty first to one
of the nicest guys.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
They called mean Jean mean Gene Oakland of the WWF.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
I told you you like it because the guy came
up to me about four or five times tonight and
asked me to do it. I would have done it
after one, but sometimes I forget. I want to give
a shout out to the Alta Lama braves. Yeah all
the time. Here here you are, here the home of
Eric Weddle, our old friend Eric Weddle from the San

It is Jamaica News. It's Jamaica News. Zikum rox doing.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
I'm out and out on the point they leave me alone.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
But it's my father, John Papadakas his birthday today, seventy five.
My father, what can I say, A big part of
everything that I do, seventy five years old today. I'll
be headed to his party after this. But today's birthday
(12:27):
of the Day is a great Jamaican named Alkaline. Anybody
know about Alkali because you're all stupid and all you
do is listening to Taylor Swift and dumbass Katie Perry.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Is he the guy that thing to his eyes? Yes, okay.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
Alkaline is a famous Jamaican reggae rapper type dance hall
reggae named Earl Earlton Bartley, or Earl.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
He went to h our Den.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
High University of the West inse Go, Pelicans to study communications,
but his past was for music, and it made him
a controversial star because, as you said, Kates, it was
said that he had corneal eye tattoos, that the white
part of his eyes was tattooed black, so he had
(13:19):
black eyes. Now, of course he became this big, giant
Caribbean star, and people started to try to tattoo their
eyeballs and blinded themselves. After about well, it's like Semi
sol So bleaching his skin. You know, it's the Caribbean.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
So so about three years into it, Alkali said, just kidding,
my eyeballs aren't tattooed.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
They were contacts. Please don't tattoo your eyeball.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Took him three years to come out with them, and.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
He said, now, finally my music could stand on its own.
I don't need to wear the corniole eye tattoo contacts anymore.
And that was around when he put out his international
album Next Level Unlocked, and it went pretty big for
a reggae album. He went to New York stopped with
the contacts. If you can make a dancehall album in
(14:13):
the US, like with like fifteen songs, you're a pretty
big reggae stuck. Now. My wife and I are both
relatively large fans of Alkali. My wife went to go
see him once, really in San Pedro.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I couldn't go. I had a football game, but.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
He went without my little brother too.
Speaker 8 (14:30):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
He has his own festival, New Rules Festival, and it's
at Wembley Stadium this year in London. Not exactly a lightweight,
but you guys, you listen to your Katy Perry. Yeah,
you guys, listen to whatever it is you want.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Anyway.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
He has recently partnered with Kivone, wearing their bougie clothes
around town. I'm not messing around anyway. Next Alkali album
is coming out soon. You should check them out.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Any relation to the Alkaline trio, No No or Alkaline
water for that matter.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
But that's a big thank you to everybody involved and.

Speaker 6 (04:26):
I could be his agent, wanting more years, more money,
but the well is starting to dry up and the
teams are starting to dwindle out as far as who
might be interested in him. Sammy sosaid, The Cubs reconcile
Thursday afternoon. How about this, Sammy Sosa? Seventeen years he
has been estranged from the Chicago Cubs. The former slugger
(04:46):
today issued an apology for being juiced, for juicing up
and saying, quote, he made mistakes during his playing career.
He did whatever he could to recover from injuries in
an effort to keep his st ain'ked up to perform
over one hundred and sixty two games a year. I
never broke any laws, but in hindsight, I made mistakes
(05:10):
and I apologize.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Wow, well, I hope that goes a long way after
it did.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Minutes after your head, minutes after the apology, almost like
they knew it was coming, the Chicago Cubs issued a
press release and said, we accept your apology, and we
are inviting you to the Winner Fan Convention for the
first time since two thousand and seven.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
I think that's great. Look, say what you want about
Sammy Sosa. Sure he bleached his skin, which is quite
prevalent in the Caribbean, by the way, And yes he
juiced up, but he was an inspirational figure, like he
would run and sprint out there with his big bulbacy.

Ass saved baseball night, and everybody loved it. Like that
guy played his ass off. He was you know, after
nine to eleven he ran around with a flag.

Speaker 6 (06:27):
How come everybody hates Lebron so much? He's like the
best player ever, say the King is speaking. Telling reporters today,
something had to change. Obviously, the last couple of years
have not been a great All Star Game on Sunday nights.
He added, it's not just the All Star Game, it's

My father, what can I say, A big part of
everything that I do, seventy five years old today. I'll
be headed to his party after this. But today's birthday
(12:27):
of the Day is a great Jamaican named Alkaline. Anybody
know about Alkali because you're all stupid and all you
do is listening to Taylor Swift and dumbass Katie Perry.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Is he the guy that thing to his eyes? Yes, okay.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
Alkaline is a famous Jamaican reggae rapper type dance hall
reggae named Earl Earlton Bartley, or Earl.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
He went to h our Den.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
High University of the West inse Go, Pelicans to study communications,
but his past was for music, and it made him
a controversial star because, as you said, Kates, it was
said that he had corneal eye tattoos, that the white
part of his eyes was tattooed black, so he had
(13:19):
black eyes. Now, of course he became this big, giant
Caribbean star, and people started to try to tattoo their
eyeballs and blinded themselves. After about well, it's like Semi
sol So bleaching his skin. You know, it's the Caribbean.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
So so about three years into it, Alkali said, just kidding,
my eyeballs aren't tattooed.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
They were contacts. Please don't tattoo your eyeball.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Took him three years to come out with them, and.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
He said, now, finally my music could stand on its own.
I don't need to wear the corniole eye tattoo contacts anymore.
And that was around when he put out his international
album Next Level Unlocked, and it went pretty big for
a reggae album. He went to New York stopped with
the contacts. If you can make a dancehall album in
(14:13):
the US, like with like fifteen songs, you're a pretty
big reggae stuck. Now. My wife and I are both
relatively large fans of Alkali. My wife went to go
see him once, really in San Pedro.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I couldn't go. I had a football game, but.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
He went without my little brother too.
Speaker 8 (14:30):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
He has his own festival, New Rules Festival, and it's
at Wembley Stadium this year in London. Not exactly a lightweight,
but you guys, you listen to your Katy Perry. Yeah,
you guys, listen to whatever it is you want.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Anyway.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
He has recently partnered with Kivone, wearing their bougie clothes
around town. I'm not messing around anyway. Next Alkali album
is coming out soon. You should check them out.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Any relation to the Alkaline trio, No No or Alkaline
water for that matter.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
But that's a big thank you to everybody involved and.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
We'll be back on tomorrow three o'clock.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
