of Dodgers today. Anything you miss you can always relive

Speaker 4 (01:36):
That's right, and tomorrow you can meet the two time
World Series La Catcher Austin Barnes and La Legend Sean
Green at Matt's Stomping Grounds during their anniversary.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Matt, indeed, eighty years eight decades, they are the number
one four dealer in the history of the world. That
is not hyperbole. That is just what they are a
year in and year out, number one in California and
it's been eighty years, eight decades here in southern California.
They want to celebrate that and the only way to
do that is with Tim Kates and Dodgers on Deck
on site at ten am. Very special. The only way
(02:09):
everybody says that, yeah live, I should say Dodger Talk,
not a Dodgers on Deck because the Dodgers on Deck
will be at three, but it'll be a Dodger Talk
at ten am with Austin Barr tired and exasperated three o'clock.
Kates Sean Green will be there as well. They're giving
away tickets to games and they'll have food games and
all that sort of stuff. It is tomorrow. It starts
at nine am at galpin Ford right up the four
(02:30):
or five at Roscoe. But Kates will be there at
ten to do Dodger Talk.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
All right, and.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Don't forget to podcast our show, as we've also said,
and enjoy every day.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
We had a long week in great sports, great sports
talk here it is uh, it is now time for
the final hour. Fun fact.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
The fact it's the yeah We're three fun.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
Fact brought you back in Cordy University of Your Minds
Masters in Coaching and Athletics Administration program. It's fact coach
has more influence on others in one year and the
average person does in a lifetime. Make the most of
that opportunity to impact others by finding out more at
CUI dot edu slash coaching. I did this one and
I felt like I had already done it, so I
(03:12):
apologize if you'd already heard this one. Sir Hugh Beaver,
real name Hugh hug h. Beaver ran the Guinness Breweries
in the nineteen fifties and as a very wealthy man,
they used to go on these hunting, these shooting parties.
And when he had an opportunity to shoot a Eurasian
(03:33):
golden plover, he missed, and as his friends rased him
in his defense, he said, well, that's the fastest game
bird in Europe. An argument ensued that in fact it
wasn't the plover but the red grouse instead. And because
they could not settle the dispute, as no reference book
(03:55):
would prove one side versus the other, an idea was born,
and so or Hugh Beaver created the Guinness Book of Records.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
All right, did you see that that somebody found like
a bottle of Guinness somewhere and like the ocean, and
they think it might have the key to the original
recipe because it's like one hundred and eighty years old,
reverse engineer, And because they don't have the original recipe,
we are your reverse engineering show of records.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Guys.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
When you go over there, you gotta do two things.
Take the bush Mills tour and go to the Guinness Brewery.
I'm telling you it'll change your.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Life, but you don't drink. That's right, that's right. It's
time for quickets.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
TMS quickits. I'll make it quick, y'all.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Oh yeah, the Dodgers are seventy three and forty nine.
They're at home tonight versus the brew Crew. Yoshi, I'm
a multole is on the mound. It's Clayton Kershaw Bobblehead night.
Dave rob Yer says he's sticking with Edwin Diaz that's
the rooster in his barn as the Dodgers closer, despite
(05:08):
blowing the game last night and having blown three of
his last four appearances.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Here's Dave.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
I mean, I think that you gotta you can't just
you can't just I can't just say change in glow leverage.
I have to have other options. Who's the other option?
I mean, you know, you look back at the last
week and guys have struggled, and then I'm not going
to sit here and play carousel and chase my tail
and say when the guy's struggling and then when he
(05:35):
doesn't pitch, well, then it's why are you pitching him?
So I don't do that. You know, everyone's got a role.
They all have jobs to do, and they all have
to do their job.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
That's a eleven point seven era.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Good news.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
He's only in year one of a three year sixty
nine million dollars.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Yeah, so that's why Tanner Scott is trending on social media.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Yes, if you did, if you missed that story on
your way home from Houston.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yes, Tim, think about it.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
The last decade or so, have you ever heard Dave
Roberts this Matt Usually he's even keeled, you know, always pol.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Sounded like a Laddin there. I mean the boys street rat.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
I don't buy that.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
They all have jobs to do and they all have
to do their job.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Hey, fix it.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Ooh, MLB efficiently, thank you need officially awarded the twenty
twenty eight All Star Game to bag Dad by the Bay.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
So I was hoping. If there's a city that needs it,
San Francisco.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
I know, Matt that since Chicago got the World's Fair. Oh,
come on, it's so excited.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Listen.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
They they have earned this, no question about it. An
easy city to get around, and let's showcase it, man,
Let's let's show.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Great job with the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
They sent Tony Dungee to Alcatraz and then they fired him.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
I'm sorry, where am I going? You're gonna be doing
the show from Alcatraz? Well, where's the super Bowl? It's
in Santa Clara about one hundred miles away.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
I guess at that time there'll be players participating in
the All Star Game and also in the twenty twenty
eight Olympics at Dodger Stadium, so it'll be a short flight, right,
you know, back and forth, not to mention great for
Dodger players that aren't participating in the Olympics. And the
MLB announced today that after they sold the Field of
Dreams game, which is supposed to be like all pastoral Netflix,
(07:39):
they will return again in twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
You know, a big hit there for the Phillies and
all the Accoutremont, as you like to say from time
to time, all the shoulder program they were able to
build around it. The beautiful setting, the backdrop, the emerging
from the corn as always.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
It's should be on an intenta TV though it should
come in on your intent, right, they're gonna do it.
It shouldn't be on a streaming service.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
No, it should be on your superstation, you know, whatever
you're like your KCP whatever that might. That's where that
thing go up.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Yeah, afterwards is a Martin. There you go, Matt. The
Chargers won last night. What a moment.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
Yeah, it was great. Definitely different than preseasons passed that
we have seen under Jim Harbaugh and Greg Rowman. A
lot of offense, a lot of excitement around the offensive line,
new defensive coordinator as well, a lot of action on
the defensive side of the ball. No starters for the
most part. A couple guys played a couple plays, but
(08:38):
outside of that, mostly second and third stringers. But they
put up nearly four hundred yards of offense and after
the opening drive, I think they only allowed one hundred yards.
The defense only allowed one hundred yards after that opening
drive of offense to their opponents. So a lot of
fun and most importantly, nobody got hurt, got out of
that without any injuries. They will play the forty nine
(08:59):
ers as they have a joint practice on Tuesday with
San Francisco, and then we'll play them as a home
game at SOFI Stadium on Thursday.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Other Rams play their first preseason game tomorrow night in
Kansas City. Matt Stafford isn't playing Stetson Bennett. He is
gonna start at quarterback with Tye Simpson being sprinkled in
like some taheen on your rim.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
That's good stuff.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
The battle for the backup begins, and Troy Aikman, we'll
see some restrictions.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Yeah, he's got the Tom Brady thing going now since
he bought into the Dolphins, or didn't buy into them,
but he was hired to oversee their front office with
all of the offseason sweeping changes they made, trading away
a lot of their players.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
A consultant over a consulting role.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
He is in a consulting role, and they said he
will face the same restrictions tom Brady has the past
two seasons because he is working with a team. Obviously,
Tom Brady owns dec.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Brady the other day striding into there with his pants
and this Raiders shirt living all and his sunglasses.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Did you see that?
Speaker 5 (10:08):
That's the goat right there?
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Not since Steve McQueen is there been such a man
and Matt in the high school football world. There's issues
in Hawaii. Multiple Southern California teams in Hawaii playing games
this week, like at least eight last night, the nod
San Clemente Beaumont, Yes, Beaumont. What a drive from the airport.
(10:33):
They all won summer playing tonight, like Capo Valley and
Newport Harbor and San Juan Hills and Villa Park. But
all of these games are going on while tropical storm
La La bears down on the islands this weekend. We
hope all remaining games are able to be played and
everybody is safe out there and gets home safe. Hawaii
(10:57):
is not a place that you want to get hit
by a fly stop sign, no doubt because if you
can't always say, if you can't survive a metavact.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
To Honolulu, then you really survive something.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
That's why you know.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
I'm always trepidacious about everything about everything. We'll be back
with more. David Vasse from Dodger Stadium is going to
join us. The man of the Hour, David Vassa with
the answers on a guy he likes to call Sugar Daz.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
This is Petro Send money on demand demand.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
I'll trust some money in five seventy LA Sports Live
Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Three hour show headed into
the weekend, and we will have Dodgers Yamamoto on the
mound tonight, trying to get that win after a rough
loss last night. In the ninth inning courtesy of Edwin
Diaz has got the Dodger folks quite upset. So six
o'clock Dodgers on deck seven to ten, first pitch.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
David Basse.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
With an inside look at the Dodgers. This is the
Vassie Report with David Vasse.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Oh, you know, there's only one David Vasse, and he's
at Dodger Stadium. He knows what's next, he knows what's coming,
he knows what to expect, and he knows how to
handle you on the phones after the game. He is
our Dodger reporter, and of course Spectrum Sportsnet and MLB
Network enjoy his work as well, and he has paid
(12:34):
the King's ransom for it. He has also brought to
you by Downy Hunday on the Petros and Money Show.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Dave, how are you? How's it going out there?
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Have you recovered from last night and the slings and
arrows of outrageous fortune? Did it remind you of when
you had to defend Kenley Jansen.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
No, Kennley Jensen secured three hundred and fifty saves during
his Dodger career, the most enfranchised is so no, I
never really had to defend Kenley that much.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Wow, right and right to the straight out the GP.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
And he's only saved away from five hundred, so obviously
he hasn't stopped.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Did it remind you of having to defend Tanner Scott
last year?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Dave, Yes, that's what it reminded me. That's exactly what
it reminded me of. And it was comical, ironic, whatever
adjective you want to use. Uh, last night full boarder
calls for an hour, fans screaming for Tanner Scott to
be the Dodgers closer, when a year ago at this
time they were screaming for Tanner Scott never to show
(13:39):
his face again at Dodgers Stadium, and now the fans,
the wolves, they want Tanner Scott to get the ninth
inning again. And look last night when Dave Roberts was
asking the media what's the better option, I think it's
pretty obvious Tanner Scott's the only option right now with
the way the rest of the relievers are performing.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
Yeah, Dave, And you know, like you said, look, last
year was last year, this year was this year. I
know he had a couple bumps, and especially early on,
there was a real unfortunate blown save that seemed like
social media really got on him, but he settled in.
Since do you think they make that move. It's not
like Edwin Diaz is a twenty one year old with
a fragile, you know, ego or attitude. I would assume,
(14:22):
And it sounded like when he was talking to you
guys that he was accepting of whatever the heck they
want to do in these last four appearances he's had
in his era that's ballooning into I don't know, twelve
thirteen territory.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Yeah, he was. He understands the situation. And look, I
think we all take for granted the fact this guy
had pretty major surgery three months ago. I know, we
try to brush it off like, oh, it's just loose bodies,
you know, no big deal. Well it is a big
deal when it's your pitching arm and that's what you
do for a living and you're getting the most high
(14:55):
leverage outs of a game with the game.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
On the line.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
So I feel like it's a lot to ask. And
he's a professional, no doubt about it, But it is
a lot to ask. Three months removed from surgery to
go right into the fire, and the Dodgers tried it.
It hasn't gone that well, So I could. I can
understand Dave Roberts and Andrew Freeman talking about other options
(15:20):
to get the last not only three outs, but six outs,
because you know, if you take Tanner Scott out of
the seventh or eighth inning high leverage spots to get
the game to the ninth inning, who are you using
in those spots? And I think that's what Dave Roberts
point was last night. Okay, you want me to take
Tanner Scott out of that role to put him in
the ninth inning. Who's getting those outs in the seventh
(15:42):
and eighth inning if it's not Tanner Scott. And if
Tanner Scott comes out tonight, pitches the ninth inning and
blows the save, our fan's gonna say, go back to
Edwin Diaz. You can't manage that way.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
We'll see what happens. Maybe Yamamoto will go deep and
they won't.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
You really can't do everything.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Petros, Yeah, but he but he had loose bodies too.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
He came back, and so did schoobl Dave.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Yeah, everybody's different, Petros everybody's everybody is different, and you know,
snell Zilla is a freak. You talked about a unicorn.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
That guy.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I don't have any answers how he dominates the way
he has dominated after missing the entire season.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
But before we do dig deeper into snell Zilla, and
it certainly is worth it. It was a dominating and
impressive performance. Dave, Like, ultimately, what do you think they
do with the because we've seen you know, we just
saw it last year, right, we were talking about it
earlier with Tanner Scott. It's like, yeah, dude, you're not
pitching anymore, You're not closing out.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
It's over.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
We've seen that. Like, what do you think the approach
is here?
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Well, yes, they really do.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
They don't really have a high leverage right handed reliever
that has performed all that well all season long. They
thought brock Stewart could be that guy. He's been on
the eye for the majority of the year. Evan Phillips
still coming back after not pitching for two years, also
having major arm surgery, Blake Trinan on the IL. I mean,
(17:11):
there's a lot of miles on that arm. So they
need Edwin Diaz. Whether it's in the ninth inning or
in the seventh inning. They need him. I mean, he's
a big part of this bullpen. They've got to get
him right, and maybe that is the best way to
do it, is to get him into those seventh inning
situations where if he does falter, there are options behind
him and it gives the offense a chance to come
(17:33):
back if it doesn't go as well. But certainly the
ninth inning is a lot different than the seventh inning.
They need Edwin Diaz and to get through the rest
of the regular season, there's no ways around that. Once
you get to the postseason. We've seen the Dodgers use
Rokie last year. They've pieced it together in other ways,
so the postseason is a different animal. I'm just talking
(17:54):
about getting through the rest of the regular season. And look,
it's not like the Dodgers fell apart with Diz on
the I l he was out for three months and
they just kept going and going and expanding their lead. So, uh,
this is a pretty good team, and there's ways to
skin a cat. There's different ways to get the final six.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
To nine outs.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
David Masse is our guest at the Real Underscore dv
on X on the Southern California roasts in the next
press conference. Perhaps maybe I don't I get it.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
I'm just trying to again here, not with me. I mean,
are people mad on your sushi studio?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
You don't have to see these guys.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
You're right, You're absolutely right.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Yesterday though, I was a hostile, drunken crowd at BJ's
and Montabello, Dave, and you made them happy by saying
Freddy Freeman was going to play, and he did play,
and you said he's going to have a scheduled night off.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
To me, what do you expect tonight in the game?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Oh God, this is a normal time that I'm here.
Pahz pahes is asking why I'm here so early. I'm
always watching him, always watching him everywhere he goes I go. Anyway,
I'm sorry, Petro, so your question I was interrupted. People
don't know what I do. They just think I stand around.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Freddie Freeman with the night off, Dave, what do you
expect tonight for the Dodgers to bounce back behind Yamamoto?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Well, the one part of last night that nobody talks about,
because obviously the Edwin dis thing was a big deal,
but the Dodger offense only Mustard four hits and it
took a pinch hit, three run home run from Max
Munsey to give the Dodgers the lead. So I know
it was the Royals and the Dodgers offense kind of
(19:47):
looked like it was getting back. But last night it
was not a good showing. Only four hits last night.
It's got to be better tonight. It's got to be
better the rest of the year.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
The One and Only David Vass said on AM five
seventy La Sparts giving you the latest with the lawyers?
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Is Freddy really okay? Dave? Is there anything else about
that out there?
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I felt like he was running out of gas in
the ninth inning last night. So I think today a
blessing in disguise that this was already a planned day
off and he can't fight it. So I think today
is going to go a long way. As far as
Dave Roberts calling it a spa day for Freddie Freeman,
it's going to go a long way.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
What can people expect on Clayton Kershaw bobblehead night, Dave,
what do you think is going to happen?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I think he'll get a big ovation. You know, he's
been around a lot. I can't even miss him. He's
been around a lot this year, you know. Yeah, he's
been at the Oral Hersheiser Star thing yesterday and today's
his bobblehead day. He's been around for NBC Sports, So
I think he'll be celebrated tonight, Petros. People love nostalgia,
(20:59):
and tomorrow night it's going to be great to celebrate
another Dodger legend, Reggie Smith, who's going to be honored
with the legends of Dodger baseball on a night that
the Dodgers will be facing the Miss Jacob Mizerowski.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
A lot of people say that not only did your
son Joseph go to Reggie Smith's baseball camp, but but
you did as well. You were right out there with
the kids like one of the campers. Thank you, Dave,
have a wonderful night, and thanks Nat.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
That is free Petros. I spent more time with Reggie
than my kid did, No doubt.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
That is Reggie.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
We'll do Denn and Alive coming up next.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Then we will get to the Morongo Casino Dodgers on
Deck that will feature Tim Kats and David Masse.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Stay tuned.

Frog Man Dodgers Brewers.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
After a heartbreaking loss last night, the cock crowed three times.
The denial of Christ was complete.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
That's what the cock crowed three times for three times
because the racer blades split its leg.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
But Dodgers on Deck with Tim Kates will be on
in a matter of moments, and Matt there's a big
party that Tim Kates is going to be part of tomorrow,
And I wish I could drive all the way down
to four h five. I'd make that happen every.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
Time, every time for that every time though, just like
hitting doubles. Tomorrow it's a double. Austin Barnes Sean Green

Short bio and then a clinic in how to deliver
the headiest monologue steep okay with erudite attitude in television.
Happy it would have been one hundred. First to Russell Baker.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Hey, you use big words.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
Hey, Mookie appreciated that for you. He liked your vocabulary.
Peek ex well. He was born in Virginia's father died
when he was a kid, so they moved to Jersey.
He then went to Baltimore City College. I was like, wow,
a city college guy, And it's like no, that was
like the charter school. It was just called Baltimore City
College because like, you were smart enough to be in college,
but you were dill in high school.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
And he got in those boogie of places, Matt.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
You know some places in the UK and stuff they
call high school college, right, and it gets kind of confusing.
And then some of the academies out here and do
that because they're so old. Yeah, it's a period piece.
As you understand, we're so new. Were the real roll
with the new. That's what I always say.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
He got a scholarship to JOHNS. Hopkins, but of course
greatest generation. So sophomore year and lists in the US
Navy for WW two and he's discharged in forty five.
He goes back to Hopkins, finishes his degree in journalism
Lands the coveted police beat in the Baltimore Sun. Was
so good at that they made him their London correspondent.

(24:46):
plucked him to be their DC correspondent, the main man
in the White House Congress Department of State for eight years.
And he was so good at that he was given
a nationally syndicated column called The Observer. Seventeen books, two
the Ulitzers, And when the great Alistair Cook left Masterpiece Theater.
You hear that music in the background.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
You'll see if they're on your screen.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
He was the obvious pick to replace him. In nineteen
ninety two, he would deliver with high marks for the
next eleven years. His description of his performance quote, I
can't bear to look at myself. I fancied that I
was an exceedingly charming, witty and handsome young man. And
here's this fidgeting old fellow whose air is parted on
the wrong side. Harry is introducing one of your favorites.
(25:32):
P a production of king Lear.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Oh leir for an actor.
Speaker 7 (25:37):
King Lear is one of the most difficult roles in
all of Shakespeare. For one thing, it's terribly demanding physically.
Yet it's a role for an old man, ideally a
very old man, a man on the verge of sonility.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
I knew you'd love this.
Speaker 7 (25:52):
By the time an actor is old enough to play
Lear persuasively, his physical powers have inevitably declined. Tonight you'll
see Ian Holme in the role. He was sixty six
when he first played this Lear in nineteen ninety seven
at London's Royal National Theal, and he played it with
astonishing energy, even managing to shock some in the audience
(26:15):
by playing one scene in the nude faithful to Shakespeare's
direction that Lear tear off his clothes during a violent storm.
What you'll see tonight is a television adaptation of that production.
Shakespeare's tragedies are always about great men with human weaknesses
that destroy them and almost everybody around them spotting the
(26:38):
fatal flaws of this wilful old king. I leave to you,
But for those unfamiliar with King Lear, I should probably
tell you that it contains parallel stories of two aging parents,
Lear and his old friend, the Duke of Gloucester. Lear
has three daughters, their names Reagan, Goneril, and Cordelia. Gloucester
(27:01):
has two sons, and the similarity of their names, Edgar
and Edmund can be confusing if you're seeing King Lear
for the first time. The dangerous one is Edmund. You'll
see him at the very beginning, forging a document to
ruin his brother. Whatever Shakespeare's reasons for leaving them out,
(27:22):
no mothers are present. The action begins with the king
announcing that he's decided to give up his power and
divide the kingdom equally among his three daughters. First, however,
each will have to tell him how much she loves him.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
Right, very powerful, very powerful. Nobody could do it like
the great Russell banks Well.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
I wish i'd be sitting. I wish I was sitting
at home, Matt, with nothing I do. I watch but
you know, we got Dodger. I got to listen to
Dodger talk. I got a lot of dishes to watch.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
That's rose. Come down, young man.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Watch master It's not much.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
It's a masterful performance.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
He wouldn't have done that. He wouldn't have done that.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
Uh, but you know, witness for the prosecution. Yes, all right, Matt,
We're gonna do Jamaican news.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
It's Jamaica news.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
This is a second day in a row.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Yesterday we did the Uh the guy that had the
song about the goat that got hit by a bus
and they cooked the goat right there and everybody got diarrhea.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Wow, that's weird.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Ram goat liver.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
It's a very famous It's like one of the most
staple famous Jamaican songs. I don't know why it's so famous.
But well, but this guy's different. This guy's name is
Thriller You. He's fifty seven today. Lover's rocker out of Kingston, Jamaica.
Born Eustace C. Hamilton developed an interest in music while
(28:56):
attending Spanish Town Secondary School in Saint Catharine, Jamaica. He
started with the sound system Mellow Stereo in his neighborhood
and they brought he was good, a good singer, so
they brought him over to King Tubby's studio in Waterhouse.
He chose the name because, you know, being his name's Eustace.
(29:18):
His father's name was Eustace and his father was called
Big U.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
So his first name was baby You.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
But his lover's rock style, Matt was so thrilling, he
began to be called thriller you.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
Okay he came up to the lady. I would think,
you know, probably a little bit more happy with that.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
He came up in the late eighties and had big
success in the nineties and is still going today.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
His best work was with Penthouse Records.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
Full Nudity there by the way. You know, other places
maybe just top list, but at Penthouse they yeah, you're right, give.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
It all, but it's the record company in Jamaica. Was different.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Songs like Love Is Forever, Sweet Vanessa, Innocent Man. He
was also in a powerhouse, very sexual lovers rock style
group super group called l u st Lust with the periods.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
He was a Lust.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
It had a thriller you, Tony Curtis, the reggae singer,
not the actor. Oh that'd be cool, luky d and
singing melody. All four men could carry their own lover's
rock tune. Matt, they did harmony, and they did a
lot of covers. He's still posting music and he's a
(30:46):
smooth faceded, good looking guy with dreadlocks. Sadly, Matt, there
wasn't much information about him, so I dug and dug
and found out that his wife and daughter were attacked
in Florida in a home invasion in two and nine.
They were both shot. The daughter died despite being shot
in the head. The wife, Camille, woke up with the
(31:09):
bullet in her head, I guess, and called for help
and survived, although she is partially blind and deaf now.
His stepfather was also murdered in Jamaica and buried in
a shallow grave.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
There's a little different down there, you know, down there.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
But the wife and daughter were attacked in Florida.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
Yeah, again, things are very different down there.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
Well, Thriller, you a fine Jamaican singer who's had a
rough time obviously.
