6:20
Speaker 1: Youtube, though, want me to be great.
6:22
Speaker 1: I make a little bad joke last week.
6:23
Speaker 1: You see why I'm going to go by a script and go by a plan.
6:26
Speaker 1: I try to plan things out before I reach here and go to script and I get excited.
6:31
Speaker 1: And while last week talking about Cartel and come and play Shabba and a whole set of songs, my last week video is copyright strike on me now and numbers low, so I don't know how much people will get to see this next episode, because we're YouTube working Anytime.
6:43
Speaker 1: You do things like that, it's a fight to build back to the little few listeners I have every week, but I appreciate all the every one of them spins.
6:50
Speaker 1: We appreciate it.
6:52
Speaker 1: Remember to like, subscribe, share and turn on your notification bell so you can find out when new episodes come out.
6:57
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
6:58
Speaker 1: Just in case, on a week like this, it'll come out on the Tuesday, if you didn't know by now.
7:03
Speaker 1: It's a short week in Trinidad and Tobago, so short week means short episode, nothing serious, nothing serious.
7:12
Speaker 1: I'm recording this on the night before the holiday.
7:15
Speaker 1: It's heavy rain in Trinidad.
7:16
Speaker 1: The place is overcast and cloudy.
7:18
Speaker 1: I can't compare it.
7:19
Speaker 1: So I told my sister.
7:20
Speaker 1: She sent me pictures and temperature checks of her walks in the morning and she telling me it's warm.
7:26
Speaker 1: I walk in here and it's warm and it's 18 degrees my air condition nowhere near 18 and all my joints are starting to hurt me when them time come.
7:35
Speaker 1: But a few little things to talk about this week in this short week, here and um, and also a list of songs lined up about work.
7:44
Speaker 1: I want to tell you that when it comes to where there's hard work, it's work up, it's worky.
7:48
Speaker 1: There's nobody who sing more song about work than Marshall Montana.
7:53
Speaker 1: If you look up Soca about work or Calypso about work, it's a whole page of Marshall's song you're going to get it's impressive.
8:01
Speaker 1: It's impressive Marshall.
8:02
Speaker 1: He liked the theme of work that it shows in his career and what he was able to accomplish from very, very young up to today.
8:09
Speaker 1: Being King Ahsoka is what the man said to call him.
8:12
Speaker 1: Right, king Ahsoka is what he meant to call him.
8:14
Speaker 1: So we have a few, we have a few more Marshall to play along with some other greats.
8:17
Speaker 1: First song was by Burning Flames, the song Work here, a song that all of us should know, right?
8:22
Speaker 1: But uh, going back to my podcasting class I do the some weeks ago uh, they were asking me like how he's connect calypso and them things to youth and I I was, I was trying to explain to them that listen, calypso is soca and soca is calypso, pa and I win monarch.
8:43
Speaker 1: So now everybody know papaya, it's the same, it's the same, it's the same, it's the same, it's not any different.
8:50
Speaker 1: So when you hear Busy Signal say I don't know how to play it, but it's a copyright track I can't take, when you hear Busy Signal say it's the same song, I mean it's really not a fight, nearly not a fight, in Calypso.
9:07
Speaker 1: We underestimate what Calypso is and how much Calypso has contributed to everything.
9:11
Speaker 1: And it brings me to an opening discussion in this week, and it's something that I did not know was happening at all.
9:20
Speaker 1: Now I want to tell you in all honesty and honesty that if I knew that this was happening I would have gone.
9:25
Speaker 1: But I don't know how I set up and how hard it is to leave home.
9:29
Speaker 1: And it's even harder to leave home, as Marshall said work hard, play harder.
9:32
Speaker 1: Worked on hard for me when it was a short week already.
9:35
Speaker 1: But it's even harder to leave home when you see it's in this rain and this kind of cold weather.
9:39
Speaker 1: I want to stay home, I don't want to come out of the house at all.
9:42
Speaker 1: But I did see Scorch, led by Kwesi Hopkinson, kwesi Hyper Hopper, hyper Hopper, hopkinson, hoppy, right Having a music festival that I think deserves it's right along the lines of everything that we stand for and everything that I try to do with this podcast and I find it's a great initiative.
10:08
Speaker 1: It took me straight back to that question in that podcast in class, name of it is Caribbean Music Con.
10:14
Speaker 1: You know like what a comic con and them things like is a music conference and music con?
10:19
Speaker 1: Right?
10:19
Speaker 1: And for me it come out to the blue.
10:21
Speaker 1: Maybe because I'm not in industry circles, I'm struggling to figure out who exactly they were targeting, like who they wanted to come there.
10:28
Speaker 1: I suppose these people who want to be a part of the music industry I'm not sure if it was like broadly marketed to just fans of music.
10:35
Speaker 1: And so because just some of the discussions and the panels this is something that I would love to go to, just to come back and talk about what I was able able to see.
10:44
Speaker 1: Because when you look at at the some of the panelists that they had, I think it's really really impressive the list of people that they put together and the way they took, the way they handled the, the way they handled the blending of the.
11:02
Speaker 1: I was going to say the old and the young, but the blending of the.
11:05
Speaker 1: I was gonna say the old and the young, but the blending of the seasoned and the veteran artists and producers and and and cultural officials and adults with some of the practitioners and and people who in the field now like uh, so I would see people like voice there, voice and penny, and uh, where's my next partner named travis will, and so on.
11:24
Speaker 1: And then you're seeing carl beaver hend on, and then you're seeing Carl Beaver Henderson, mr Raymond, you're seeing Angela Hunt was there, several people, freetown Collective was there on some panels as well, one of the panels hosted by Rome.
11:34
Speaker 1: So most of what I've seen from it is clips from the Caribbean Musicon page.
11:41
Speaker 1: So follow them on Instagram as well as on Scorch's page and so on, and they have a YouTube page called Caribbean Cyber Stream where you could go on to see even more from the festival.
11:54
Speaker 1: So, for instance, one of the clips I see in Caribbean Musicon day 2 is 7 hours long.
12:01
Speaker 1: So take your time and all is done, complete 2 hours long.
12:03
Speaker 1: It would take in little pieces of it, even if I would.
12:08
Speaker 1: The clip's good too, because they get into some of the meat of what is happening or some of the conversations, but I heard um beaver and riman talking to hoppy and and and saying some things where, uh, raj shorty and maybe there's a song that I'll play again, right, because it, because it's funny enough.
12:25
Speaker 1: I'd done two episodes about Shorty earlier in the year and I heard them telling Hoppy how important he was, saying that people don't realize how important Raj Shorty was or how big he was or how popular he was in his day and what he meant to the Caribbean.
12:43
Speaker 1: And Hoppy had kind of say right, right, so he was as big as marshall and he was, he was like no, plenty bigger than marshall.
12:51
Speaker 1: He was basically saying rashauti was a phenom, a movement throughout the caribbean and stories like those right, think of hoppy as being my age, right, hoppy in his 40s.
13:04
Speaker 1: Hoppy I've always respected as somebody who is not just a part of the culture or contributor to the culture.
13:11
Speaker 1: I think he's a genuine lover of the culture and people used to talk about him when he was on radio on 96.7 on an evening and I would agree that his show where they just call people to flush them and them, kind of things he used to.
13:24
Speaker 1: He's an entertaining guy, right.
13:26
Speaker 1: So once you put him in a space people will be entertained.
13:27
Speaker 1: But he was mailing in that show for a long time like he used to sit down.
13:30
Speaker 1: I'd have whole, uh ways, call it episodes.
13:33
Speaker 1: You know whole time's.
13:34
Speaker 1: I am drive time listening to hoppy and jj and them and jj and them carrying the show hot song like hoppy not even there, and you know he take a lot of flack for that for people my age and somehow he end up getting classed as a fellow who don't know much.
13:49
Speaker 1: You know I, when I hear people talk about happy animal all happy animals talk about nonsense and they do.
13:54
Speaker 1: And I think this dude only don't understand who he is and where he's been from, where he come from, who's his father and so on.
14:00
Speaker 1: He'd be very attuned to the culture from what I I'm just talking about conversations with him and the kind of knowledge he has just over the years, just regular interactions with him, right.
14:13
Speaker 1: And I remember him interviewing David Rudder one time, who one might argue might be the easiest person to interview David Rudder.
14:21
Speaker 1: You know what I mean At that time in his career.
14:23
Speaker 1: You know a lot of David Rudder used.
14:24
Speaker 1: You know what I mean At that time in his career.
14:24
Speaker 1: You know a lot of a lot of David Rudder used to come across as warm and welcoming and fuzzy and hugs and loves and so on to people.
14:30
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
14:31
Speaker 1: There was a point in time where he was not he wasn't even warm as personal, let me put it like that.
14:37
Speaker 1: But Hoppy was able to have a real good conversation with him about some of his iconic songs, about pan, about culture in trinidad, about just general state of affairs and crime and politics and uh, three solid hours there on radio with david doing, doing, doing a great job, having a conversation with him.
14:52
Speaker 1: So it's somebody I always respected.
14:54
Speaker 1: He's somebody to who, when, when you're talking about an episode that is about work, right, he's one of the hardest working people in entertainment.
15:02
Speaker 1: He's built so many, so many different brands.
15:05
Speaker 1: I see now, uh, sorry, yeah, but in my mind I always used to compare him to diddy.
15:10
Speaker 1: I'll stop doing that.
15:12
Speaker 1: I'll never do that again.
15:13
Speaker 1: You know I don't sound, but it used to be like this is all local version of diddy.
15:17
Speaker 1: He's just fine ideas, make things work, keep himself culturally relevant, because I appreciate that for somebody at 40 something years old.
15:26
Speaker 1: I saw, for instance, some fellas throw parties in what used to be club coconuts recently, right 90s party and dance all thing and song, clashing as a little partner, private who talking about um standing up for forever and shabba and them show last weekend, the things that geared towards people our age still being put on by people.
15:46
Speaker 1: Our age is our promoters who come up with us from teenage days and they're still doing things now.
15:50
Speaker 1: The thing up in coconuts bus who going up there, the 40 something year olds and trying to nuts and party, nothing but that not sounding good to me, especially the part where you could drive down from stans later night after you don't take a few and think we done passed our age on stage, can't do it, cannot do it anymore.
16:07
Speaker 1: So it's admirable and it's something that we must take note of, that Hopi throwing parties that are attracting teenagers and young professionals who are in their 20s.
16:18
Speaker 1: And when you go to Scorch parties or you look at Scorch events, is young young people still going to that parties?
16:23
Speaker 1: Where you look at scorch events, is young young people still going to that?
16:25
Speaker 1: Most study promoters we don't have in our time would struggle to appeal to today's youth.
16:32
Speaker 1: I mean most marketing people, most businesses, like trying to figure out what today.
16:35
Speaker 1: Where are we in now?
16:36
Speaker 1: Generation y, generation z, I don't know which one of them it is, but whatever generation we are now, people struggle to appeal to those generations or to reach those generations.
16:45
Speaker 1: And Hopi has done that over the years and never without things like this.
16:50
Speaker 1: So he threw a party, he threw a boat ride, he had mass ban, he had mass section and mass ban and now we have scotch radio which is now to be one of the more popular radio stations among a wide group of youths.
17:01
Speaker 1: And I've said it here many times before whenever hoppy people ask me like, why do I work on radio and why do?
17:07
Speaker 1: The reason is I don't know if I could deal with the, the times and the working for people and the politics that's coming out and the publicity and how I balance in that with my normal work and life.
17:17
Speaker 1: But I tell you only, whenever hoppy start a talk radio station, I go in 6 am to.
17:23
Speaker 1: I want the morning shift.
17:25
Speaker 1: Whenever he started I end every day of the week as something that I would love to do, you know.
17:29
Speaker 1: I mean, uh, because of this, this connection, he don't have to do this.
17:33
Speaker 1: I don't know if this making good money for him or what.
17:35
Speaker 1: I hope it making money.
17:36
Speaker 1: I hope it making sense for him.
17:37
Speaker 1: But to put on a uh, a music conference for the caribbean, it is focused around trinidad and all right.
17:44
Speaker 1: It was in the invitation's showing Napa, but when I see some of the clips it's showing like his movie talk, so I'm not sure which one it was at, but wherever it was, I'm not sure if it's different venues as well.
17:57
Speaker 1: I wonder if this is something he will move up the Caribbean, as he has done with his mass sections and his FETs on boat rides and all those different things that he's done in several different countries and or something you know that that could move around and gain some strength.
18:10
Speaker 1: Because if you're, if you're doing this here every year, you start to see where things like this start up well, and then they fade away eventually because the investment not there, the sponsorship not there, the novelty whereof you're coming back, you're hearing the same stories from the same people and it dies off.
18:28
Speaker 1: So I'm hoping and given his level of innovation and entrepreneurship and risk taking and so on, I wouldn't doubt it's something that he would want to continue to do up the islands.
18:36
Speaker 1: But a few, a few very interesting stories came out of it.
18:40
Speaker 1: Right, very interesting stories came out of it, and one of them that I just hear from none other than the great farmer nappy.
18:47
Speaker 1: Come on well respected, well respected, on this program, right, when it comes to farming, happy we don't get, we don't go against nothing farmer do or say on this world.
18:56
Speaker 1: Farmer is one of my favorites, right.
18:58
Speaker 1: But farmer said, kind of taking it straight from what farmer say, or should I, should I just what Farmer said and keep myself out of problems?
19:06
Speaker 1: Let me see if I could play what Farmer said, because I don't want nobody to see that I say and carry no wrong news on me.
19:14
Speaker 4: Right, taking what Farmer had to say Dollar, dollar, dollars were the same thing.
19:18
Speaker 4: It actually came from Tommy Joseph.
19:21
Speaker 4: So you never approached Colin because Colin, you remember, he's a little youth to colin and I grew up underneath song, rev, firefly, chad, dudes, chandler, I grew up with all of these fellas and them right, so I used to be sitting down in colin car to go somewhere, shoes.
19:36
Speaker 4: So when he come, you know he approached and he had the latitude.
19:39
Speaker 4: But I get big now and I can, big Noah, that could stand up to him.
19:44
Speaker 4: Now he thief, and Hoppy, brilliant truly, is the brother that gave Hoppy that story in the studio and Hoppy came to me with the type I wasn't talking about it, but now he's.
19:57
Speaker 3: I never hear that Thief.
20:03
Speaker 1: You didn't hear it from me.
20:04
Speaker 1: He heard it from Papa directly.
20:06
Speaker 1: What he said, if you didn't catch it, is he basically said that the dollar wine thing is something that Tommy Joseph used to do in the tent.
20:16
Speaker 1: Now my mother and them got to confirm this to me, right, but this is something that I feel like I remember.
20:21
Speaker 1: You see just how the thing went viral with Tommy Joseph the other day saying one cough, two cough, three cough.
20:30
Speaker 1: Tommy Joseph was a vibe on stage and it had several versions of songs that Tommy Joseph sing, whether it's a song he make up just to kill time in between artists or keep the show going or keep people entertained, or it's an artist sing a song and he had a verse in the tent and he sing his own version of a song, or things like this.
20:48
Speaker 1: Where he have a vibe, he have a song.
20:50
Speaker 1: There's an energy.
20:51
Speaker 1: You see what Salty and them doing, how Salty and them has just come up with chant.
20:55
Speaker 1: Or Young Brother and them coming up with chant and making song.
20:58
Speaker 1: To me, tommy Joseph is the original man who used to do that, tommy Joseph, and that's why them little clips that he have that going viral now could go viral in zest with young, young people, because he used to do that.
21:09
Speaker 1: He used to create a chance and make her vibes, and that's something you'll go in the tent every night and see.
21:14
Speaker 1: So farmer basically saying that david rather tell hoppy.
21:16
Speaker 1: And farmer say, see it for yourself.
21:18
Speaker 1: As somebody who rolled with with song ref them days that tommy was the man who come up with the cent, five cent, ten cent dollar thing, and Tommy and Uncle Lucas go on with the man idea.
21:28

25:24
Speaker 1: It's something that we need you connecting that past with the future.

25:42
Speaker 1: So great, great, great initiative.
25:44
Speaker 1: But I just mentioned um, the unions and the negotiating, and I get a little bit triggered as as as aspiring one percenter, I can't leave that statement out there on its own right, so we could negotiate for more dollar, but we must always remember the union has to tell people that it's not just about the money, it's about the work you're putting on this labor day.
26:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a story of famous dogs.

Speaker 3: I wake early in the morning Napping, feed me good and I'll work for you.
27:49
Speaker 3: A pot on the back of some chow will do.
27:51
Speaker 3: You don't have to keep your cat far, far away.
27:54
Speaker 3: But when the mice are away.
27:55
Speaker 3: This dog wants to play Leading the blind man while he walks Stiff in his suitcase in the airport.
28:02
Speaker 3: I'll be with you from the start till the end, cause a dog is a woman's best friend.
28:06
Speaker 3: Farman Happy say I'm a dog, I'm a working dog.
28:10
Speaker 2: I'm a hardworking dog Lord.
28:13
Speaker 1: I'm a dog, I'm a working dog.
28:14
Speaker 1: Farman Happy was front and center.
28:16
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something.
28:17
Speaker 1: He's one of the greatest storytellers in Calypso music too.
28:19
Speaker 1: Anytime you get a chance to hear Farman Happy tell a story, listen, it is the funniest thing you'll ever see.
28:25
Speaker 1: And he's serious like a judge when he's telling it.
28:27
Speaker 1: He didn't bone to say Colin Lucas is a thief like that.
28:29
Speaker 1: He could have just lived the story the way it was.
28:31
Speaker 1: But Martin Rehman now going back to Martin Rehman and Carl Beaver Henderson right and one of the conversations they were having and talking about the whole Soca is Calypso and Calypso is Soca and he was just basically saying that, uh, soca is more of a variation of the beat.
28:46
Speaker 1: So he said it was.
28:47
Speaker 1: It was bringing a dance hall beat meaning.
28:48
Speaker 1: When he said dance hall, I think he meant like a beat that could be played in our dance or like a party, then a party vibe to calypso music.
28:56
Speaker 1: He says the same calypso, but the drum pattern is what changed, and he said that rash shorty is one of the people who was responsible for changing the drum pattern and he said that that change in that drum pattern is also one of the changes you're seeing moving from reggae to calypso.
29:10
Speaker 1: So it would be salute to Martin Rehman.
29:11
Speaker 1: Right, I have some experience with Martin Rehman too.
29:13
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of Martin Rehman?
29:15
Speaker 1: Make me nearly not do our MBA.
29:17
Speaker 1: It's the most random thing.
29:19
Speaker 1: I'm into the music and I'm into the thing.
29:21
Speaker 1: The time I want to learn to do production and I see a production course advertised somewhere and when I went to do the class, of course is Martin Raymond was the one who was who was teaching the class at that time and it's strange, the spaces you end up in sometimes.
29:38
Speaker 1: You know, like I always wonder, like how I end up in this place or that place or meeting this person or that person, and in my mind, them times are going to do music production.
29:47
Speaker 1: I have it in my mind that I want to do dancehall beats, right, because of them days, all I listened to is dancehall.
29:53
Speaker 1: At the time is heavy bounty killer, beanie man, mad cobra, sanchez, you know, I mean that that was the artist of the time in the middle 90s, late 90s, early 2000s.
30:02
Speaker 1: That's who I listening to and I finished ue in 2003 undergrad and trying to find myself trying to figure out what to do and stuff I'd already applied for that mean it's my bedtime, I just want to listen all right past my bedtime.
30:19
Speaker 1: But I apply for this master's degree not not sure that I would again to do it or anything like that and while I'm waiting for it, I go in and I start to do music production One of the passions, one of the things that I want to follow right.
30:32
Speaker 1: And again I go in there thinking somebody going to teach me how to do.
30:37
Speaker 1: I can't remember if them days was Ableton or what was the program in them times, I can't remember.
30:42
Speaker 1: But when I went there and I walk in the class, there's a huge mixing board in the front of the class there.
30:48
Speaker 1: The class was here, 20 people.
30:50
Speaker 1: So now I'm feeling at home.
30:51
Speaker 1: I feel like somebody gonna make a beat.
30:53
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a beat where bounty killer could sing on.
30:56
Speaker 1: And I remember going to the session not knowing who martin raymond is at all I don't know him from anywhere and he talking about he started by introducing himself and talking about some of his experience and stuff and when he started to talk about it, so much of his experience had to do with not just Calypso but artists throughout the Caribbean and I was like wait, that was the first time I kind of realized how small the music fraternity might be in the Caribbean and how much of an influence our music has on the music throughout the Caribbean.
31:23
Speaker 1: And in my mind them times dancehall and reggae is completely uh, different genres and and completely divorced from calypso then or soca and I know I'm some part of my love calypso and soca too, but I'm in love with dancehall and the funniest thing is like he went in the first class.
31:41
Speaker 1: He went to, he come and he play a um, a little thing where if anytime you hand me a guitar, quattro is the first thing I'll play.
31:48
Speaker 1: Now.
31:48
Speaker 1: And he was sorry, yeah, the guitar off key like hell.
31:58
Speaker 1: But he was trying to say that listen, as a trinidadian, that little thing he say you must know that, as a trinidadian, if you, if you, if you come in to produce music.
32:11
Speaker 1: He was even looking forward to the point where everybody have powerful pcs at home and so he was basically saying nobody don't need this mixing board in front of here.
32:20
Speaker 1: He said we're going into a world where every little child could pick up a laptop or pick up a phone and make music.
32:26
Speaker 1: And the year he's talking about this is 2004.
32:29
Speaker 1: I start my master's, so summer, between 2003, 2004 and he's talking about the amount of producers that he will have is like anybody could make anything.
32:38
Speaker 1: He said the issue not going to be beats or rhythm or nothing like that.
32:42
Speaker 1: The issue going to be what are you bringing special to the world?
32:45
Speaker 1: And he was pushing us them times to bring our trinidadianness.
32:50
Speaker 1: And the reason I end up almost missing the mba is because I sit on in the music production classes and missing every deadline I have to submit things to after lock jack and to go to orientation session and thing I miss all them.
33:02
Speaker 1: Orientation because I saw I'm grossed in the stories this man telling about being around caribbean songbasing and somebody working with shadow one and several artists of the caribbean and so on.
33:13
Speaker 1: It's something else to just talk to him for a little while.
33:16
Speaker 1: So it's something that I'm working on, right, I know I'm saying I'm working on it for long, but all the conversations that I get to have with these people, we go share them together, right.
33:26
Speaker 1: But as he spoke about that move from the drum pattern and he mentioned this song, I had to play this song for a little, although he's playing an episode that had to do with work, but we can't get past the work that shorty put in.
33:42
Speaker 2: The horns.
33:59
Speaker 3: Sexy.
33:59
Speaker 3: Change the accent of carnival To a groovy, groovy, bacchanal Wailing, expressing the old feeling through needs changing.

36:01
Speaker 2: Do it's wrong, hey Woo, hey.
36:39
Speaker 1: Why is God about time?
36:40
Speaker 1: People online is a man by the name of queens flip, right, queens flip.
36:43
Speaker 1: If you don't know him as a man on youtube, instagram, wherever you can find him, and he's doing the craziest set of skits right here to trust.
36:49
Speaker 1: I feel sorry for you.
36:50
Speaker 1: Tranny, my son named jr, you might remember him for going viral for driving down the street with a little boy boy eating cereal and he slapped the cereal out.
36:58
Speaker 1: The boy hand driving the car crazy, dragged the next child from any backseat to the front seat to do several skits with uh, several rappers with me, no, jim jones, all of them.
37:08
Speaker 1: But he also does a lot of caribbean people like I saw allison hines.
37:12
Speaker 1: Allison hines didn't find none of that funny.
37:14
Speaker 1: She didn't find none of that funny at all.
37:17
Speaker 1: And um, that's why most recently do a, a song I don't say a video to promote a song by nyla nyla by the name of pressure and it's.
37:27
Speaker 1: The interaction between both of them was funny.
37:30
Speaker 1: Nyla appeared on the show after and stuff.
37:31
Speaker 1: But there's something I had to take in.
37:32
Speaker 1: Maybe check nyla instagram or look for queens flip, queens, the instead of queens with a s put queens with a z flip and it it brutal.
37:42
Speaker 1: People was a little upset about it in the comments.
37:44
Speaker 1: Surprisingly, because maybe people don't know who he is or what he's do, because what they do is they play this song and he start reacting to the song by mashing up the studio, which he did with dranny kendrick and uh and drake battle.
37:55
Speaker 1: He do reactions to the song where he was destroying his own studio, it it?
37:59
Speaker 1: It funny if you find it funny and it's real ridiculous if you don't find it funny, right, but check it out, maybe you'll like it.
38:04
Speaker 1: And I learned him promoting promoting this song.
38:07
Speaker 1: But people are upset.
38:08
Speaker 1: People say he hit nyla and he gave nyla a chance to mash up.
38:10
Speaker 1: Some of the plays to nyla have her little built-in pent-up rage, a little built-in pent-up rage.
38:17
Speaker 1: But maybe it's something she could use to her benefit in this, in this, in this labor Day season here.

39:53
Speaker 1: I want to acknowledge our hard work right now.
39:55
Speaker 1: I want to acknowledge the UNC Star Team.
39:58
Speaker 1: Stars sweep Patriots by 151,465 votes.
40:04
Speaker 1: Christian Parry, we say all kinds of things about you.
40:08
Speaker 1: We say you have a chance, you're looking good, new blood, new energy.
40:11
Speaker 1: Nothing Looks like dirt.
40:14
Speaker 1: The incumbent star Slater, reading from the news day here, must have something serious, right?
40:18
Speaker 1: Oh, listen, I see the thing on the news.
40:22
Speaker 1: They're here to read and it say Clint Chantak, but in all caps.
40:27
Speaker 1: Right, they put Clint Chantak, but the L and the I very close together.
40:31
Speaker 1: I nearly misdemean myself on this.
40:33
Speaker 1: Good, good labor.
40:34
Speaker 1: They're here.
40:34
Speaker 1: We nearly mash up Charlie King Junction, just like.
40:38
Speaker 1: What's new?
40:38
Speaker 1: The incumbent star slate swept aside the United Patriots slate 213,651 to 62,186 votes Rushed on.
40:48
Speaker 1: That's more than three times the amount of votes the women get, more than all year, anyway, and let me just say the women.
40:53
Speaker 1: There is the star slate because the leadership position was not up for grabs.
40:57
Speaker 1: This is the weirdest thing I've heard in a long time.
40:58
Speaker 1: I don't understand it.
40:59
Speaker 1: These were the preliminary results of the elections released by the party's election management committee on June 16th Within the star's slate.
41:06
Speaker 1: St Augustine MP Khadija Amin received the highest number of votes 3,479,.
41:12
Speaker 1: In winning Nort they try to make the woman look bad, a little personal issues, the woman having to try to make it into a big thing.
41:26
Speaker 1: But she beat them badly.
41:27
Speaker 1: She beat them more than anybody beat anybody.
41:29
Speaker 1: On the Patriot side, dhochan Ramjit Singh Got the highest number of votes 4,056, in his unsuccessful bid for the International Relations Officer.
41:43
Speaker 1: The man who get the most votes him with nothing robert amar.
41:46
Speaker 1: Robert amar still have a radio station there, right, and it was just some more amar studios.
41:50
Speaker 1: Robert amar, who contested that deputy political leader post as an independent candidate, received the lowest number of votes 426, clint.
41:59
Speaker 1: Why, why?
42:00
Speaker 1: Why you had to write that clint.
42:01
Speaker 1: You couldn't, you couldn't let that fly below the radar.
42:03
Speaker 1: Why you had to put the man on the front street like that.
42:05
Speaker 1: But what Robert Amara is going to get a lot of is ads when election time comes next year.
42:10
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
42:10
Speaker 1: He know he good to go when it comes to both parties advertising on his radio station.
42:19
Speaker 1: It's called a win-win situation.
42:21
Speaker 1: You can't go wrong.
42:25
Speaker 1: When preliminary results were announced at our separatist constituency office in penal on june 15th.
42:31
Speaker 1: Unc political leader kamala posad besasa said the results showed the party had elected a functional natx.
42:36
Speaker 1: She added that the party was now fully energized and mobilized to take on the pdm.
42:41
Speaker 1: At a news conference in mcbean, couvertver on June 16, patriot Slate leader Mayaro MP Rushton Parry accepted the results.
42:49
Speaker 1: Thanks.
42:50
Speaker 1: He thanked the UNC membership for participating in the elections and congratulated the Star Slate on his victory.
42:54
Speaker 1: While the Patriots had made several complaints about irregularities on the day, including they said it had fight down in Penal right, parry said he was not taking the matter any further because no matter how much irregularities it has, when you're lost by a hundred and nearly 50-something thousand votes, I think it's better you just pack up shop.
43:13
Speaker 1: Pack up shop.
43:15
Speaker 1: Paré said he's willing to work with the leader again.
43:18
Speaker 1: Paré, nobody's calling you, but some of the names you might know for the people who who were On the cards Rudolf Mounilal, robert Anita Haynes, somebody.
43:36
Speaker 1: Once Rudolf Mounilal went out by a margin.
43:38
Speaker 1: Jordan John was right there, close to him.
43:40
Speaker 1: Deputy political leader David Lee was up there close to.
43:45
Speaker 1: Oh, I see what the star do.
43:47
Speaker 1: The star bright, the star bright.
43:50
Speaker 1: From what I could see here, what the star team do is they put several people for the vote.
43:56
Speaker 1: They split the vote.
43:57
Speaker 1: Anyway, I don't know enough about it.
43:58
Speaker 1: That's all it was.
43:59
Speaker 1: But that's how it seemed like they do.
44:00
Speaker 1: But I don't think they even needed any of that, because the margins I see in people lost by here is bad.
44:06
Speaker 1: It's bad.
44:07
Speaker 1: It seems as though the UNC internal, the party card holders, have a full.
44:11
Speaker 1: They're fully behind the star team and this is the team that are going to lead them into the next election.
44:18
Speaker 1: This election ain't going to change when they do the leadership.
44:20
Speaker 1: It can't be rushed and parried I mean, they know who and run against Kamala, but Kamala proven to be a formidable fighter.
44:27
Speaker 1: They say how much a different election she lost over the years.
44:30
Speaker 1: But you know what I mean?
44:31
Speaker 1: It's like we still have the same people in charge of PNM and UNC and they're both losing popularity.
44:38
Speaker 1: We're both losing confidence in both of them.
44:41
Speaker 1: But I guess it's going to come down to at what rate we lose confidence in both of them at the same time.
44:47
Speaker 1: But I have to congratulate Kamala Prasad Bissaka.
44:50
Speaker 1: We think she enrolled them at least a thousand and something years old and they're still young enough and fit enough to go into these kind of battles, fight and win consistently over time.
45:00
Speaker 1: One of the longest standing politicians we've had is Kamala Prasad Bisesa, and she's leading the UNT into her next election.
45:07
Speaker 1: So it's only fitting that for such a hard working woman, we find a hard working woman's song to play in honor of that on the Labor Day.
45:16
Speaker 1: The man who comes to sweep my yard, the yard man, I like that broomstick you're carrying.
45:27
Speaker 3: Yes, baby, I like it.
45:29
Speaker 3: I want you to take your broom and sweep my yard.
45:34
Speaker 3: You better brush it good or we go full on bad.
45:38
Speaker 3: Don't give me no shortcut thing.
45:40
Speaker 3: You have all day and night.
45:42
Speaker 3: I have the satisfacer.
45:44
Speaker 3: You better do it right.
45:45
Speaker 3: What you waiting for?
45:47
Speaker 3: Put your back in it.
45:49
Speaker 3: Just a little more Joy.
45:52
Speaker 3: You're wasting it now.
45:53
Speaker 3: Chill your body out and work it hard and long.
45:56
Speaker 3: When you finish that, how are you going down?
46:01
Speaker 2: Go down, go down, go down, come up, come up, calm up, calm up, go down, go down, go down, calm up, calm up, calm up.
46:13
Speaker 2: I really like how you went down tongue just now, baby, you even went up tongue.
46:20
Speaker 2: Real good too.
46:21
Speaker 2: That broomstick's a friend boy.
46:23
Speaker 2: Oh, go on, hear me, now I even went up to Elgato.
46:26
Speaker 2: That broomstick's a friend boy.
46:27
Speaker 2: Oh, go on, oh, go on.
46:32
Speaker 3: Hear me now.
46:33
Speaker 3: It's what you come to do.
46:35
Speaker 3: Just remember that.
46:36
Speaker 3: And don't pick my fruits.
46:38
Speaker 3: You can put them back.
46:39
Speaker 3: You start off walking nice with that big broomstick.
46:42
Speaker 3: Now you're easing back like, like you've spread a brick.
46:46
Speaker 3: What you're waiting for?
46:47
Speaker 3: Put your back in it, just a little more Joy.
46:50
Speaker 3: You're waiting it now.
46:52
Speaker 1: Tell your body you're ten, work it hard and long.
46:55
Speaker 1: When you finish that I want you to go down town, go down, go down, go down, come up, come up, come up, come up, come up.
47:05
Speaker 1: I have to tell you all the time I was in Cheetos I forget how it is.
47:10
Speaker 1: Listen more stories where to go next, as we've done on election talk, let me tell you about this.
47:15
Speaker 1: Pnm and UNC share by-election Spoils.
47:18
Speaker 1: Grant them breaks new ground in language Indian walk.
47:20
Speaker 1: I did not know it had a by election.
47:24
Speaker 1: So to my neighbor mckay's telling me it's a by election, me no, not more is by election.
47:29
Speaker 1: So let me read from kevin felb.
47:30
Speaker 1: Kevin felbin, while the unc was always favored to win the quina mondiablo constituency, in yesterday's local government by election a street party broke out along the maruga road princess tongue last night after people's national movement candidate, pastor ortley, grant home, claimed victory in the lengua indian walk district.
47:50
Speaker 1: A preliminary call by the pnm showed grant home amassed 2083 votes over unc's nicole gopals 1336.
47:57
Speaker 1: It was a margin of 747, a significant gap considering the elections and boundaries.
48:02
Speaker 1: Commissioner declared a tie between the candidates following the August 2023 local government election.
48:07
Speaker 1: So I guess that means Grantham gained some ground right and win the seat.
48:10
Speaker 1: It has been years since the PNM claimed the seat, now creating an opposition voice in the UNC-led Princess Tongue Regional Corporation, a voice that will be ignored my words right, that is not Kevin Furman With the addition of a counselor and alderman.
48:25
Speaker 1: Before being hoist on supporters shoulders as they chanted his name outside his campaign office at indian walk, grantum said the thai gave him a second chance to strengthen himself.
48:35
Speaker 1: He said that he and his team took the chance to present the facts to people and let them know that they meant business.
48:42
Speaker 1: I feel proud, I I feel great, I feel magnificent.
48:45
Speaker 1: I'm just joyful in my heart because of this victory, and I know that it is not because of my might nor my power, but all by Almighty God, and the entire team has been surrounded me and rallied for the last nine months.
49:00
Speaker 1: It can't be that right.
49:01
Speaker 1: So salute to that.
49:02
Speaker 1: More elections.
49:03
Speaker 1: As we talk in election, I'll I just say let me tell you that is really is really really.
49:08
Speaker 1: It's music I come to play it on if election is hard work on this labor day.
49:39
Speaker 3: We might as well Marsville Rough what she want, what she want, what she want, what she want, what she want, what she want, what she want, what she want, what she want, what she want, what she want.
49:54

50:00
Speaker 3: What she want is walk.
50:02
Speaker 3: What she need is walk, walk, walk.

50:36
Speaker 2: I wish you'd be oh, oh, One name right to work in, work the thing all night.
50:42
Speaker 2: All I do, all, I do, all I do.
50:49
Speaker 3: All, I do, all, I do, all, I do, All, I do, all, I do, all I do.
50:59
Speaker 1: All I do, all I do, all I do, All I do, all I do, all I do.
51:18
Speaker 1: Grand Tome, well done, jamshie one.
51:19
Speaker 1: It's how some people who's diehard western?
51:21
Speaker 1: These fans, right and at time, couldn't ask me in the office I don't have a lot of working buyers who's a diehard western?
51:28
Speaker 1: He's too young to be a diehard western, these fans, but diehard anyway.
51:30
Speaker 1: And I did.
51:33
Speaker 1: He asked me.
51:33
Speaker 1: He said, cory, you watch any sport, because tell him some about horse racing or golf.
51:36
Speaker 1: He's like any sport.
51:37
Speaker 1: But how you don't watch cricket.
51:39
Speaker 1: I was like boy western, these hard to watch, watch.
51:41
Speaker 1: And I find it hard to back West Indies.
51:44
Speaker 1: I think it have a few teams.
51:45
Speaker 1: I feel that love and connection for A few teams.
51:51
Speaker 1: I feel that connection for and West Indies is one and I could back a side who fight in and out.
51:58
Speaker 1: But you see, that goal chain side.
52:00
Speaker 1: We went in After you had men like Ambrose and Waltz and viv, richards and richie, richard, lara, they had a squad like that to come to some of the teams that we see.
52:09
Speaker 1: Not that the individuals wasn't great to nobody team effort, but just wasn't there even from lara time come up where you could back west indies.
52:15
Speaker 1: West indies going on fight.
52:16
Speaker 1: When you see um green and jane haynes go out there, you know you're going to see something special.
52:21
Speaker 1: But this kind of thing is just watch West Indies and everybody just out, and it's so hard to watch.
52:27
Speaker 1: And I realized watching this World Cup that is my attitude towards it had to change.
52:31
Speaker 1: Right, because I see some men from Uganda come here and play cricket, right, and them men, when you add up all them men innings I think it adds up to like 200 and a little bit of runs that they make for the whole tournament.
52:45
Speaker 1: Uganda, uganda make about 250 runs in aggregate in cumulative over the four games that they play.
52:54
Speaker 1: Right, I think West Indies owe them for 39.
52:57
Speaker 1: I want to say New Zealand on one of them side owe them for 40.
53:00
Speaker 1: But them men attitude, you want to see the Ugandan players, they ve to see the ugandan players.
53:04
Speaker 1: They vex when they're out and they vex when they get like for a boundary and thing.
53:07
Speaker 1: But when their men take a wicked, their men celebrating like they win the world cup.
53:11
Speaker 1: And it make me realize, are you looking at this thing wrong?
53:14
Speaker 1: Because I back in soccer warriors and I went and cry in germany when that side, when I had yantam playing that stadium in dortmund.
53:21
Speaker 1: I cry long tears.
53:23
Speaker 1: I'm watching with Zachary today.
53:25
Speaker 1: I said I'm watching Euros.
53:26
Speaker 1: You know we're watching little Euro games and one of the games was in that Dortmund sitting and I said, zachary, that was there.
53:32
Speaker 1: You know I was there to see Trinidad draw with Sweden at the time and long tears I cried.
53:37
Speaker 1: I know Trinidad had no chance when Trinidad draw that game and all you have to understand how much of a thing we turn into iron and beat and everybody listen, anybody in our red jersey was your family that day.
53:49
Speaker 1: We beat iron coming out of that stadium and we sing, we chant, we do all kinds of things.
53:53
Speaker 1: We enjoy ourselves.
53:54
Speaker 1: We had a time outside that stadium and we draw.
53:58
Speaker 1: You would have swear we win the world cup.
54:00
Speaker 1: And maybe people, people from sweden, tell me too and it's like you know, all you know, it's not two more games.
54:05
Speaker 1: You know like there's not, there's not.
54:06
Speaker 1: It's you know, you know.
54:07
Speaker 1: But the euphoria we feeling is like we just reached the world cup, we done win already, which is what we'll be feeling in 2026.
54:15
Speaker 1: Right, only beat up, only beat up.
54:16
Speaker 1: Bahamas, very, very bad.
54:17
Speaker 1: All right, that's what we're supposed to do.
54:19
Speaker 1: Let me keep on that train right.
54:21
Speaker 1: But West Indies maybe I need to curb my enthusiasm you know the word right, I still have jaw problems.
54:27
Speaker 1: My enthusiasm with the West Indies, because maybe I should just be celebrating the fact that we win a game, celebrate the fact that we make 40 runs, celebrate the fact that everybody on the side makes single digits, that the bowlers bowl and I set a wide.
54:41
Speaker 1: I know the lack of effort is bothering me, but that the bowlers bowl and I set her wide.
54:43
Speaker 1: I know the lack of effort is bothering me, but I feel it's better to curb my enthusiasm.
54:46
Speaker 1: But lo and behold, I went kicking and screaming.
54:47
Speaker 1: My father wouldn't tell me, boy, you watch this game, you see this thing.
54:50
Speaker 1: He called me and he's watching the TV and you know I get sucked in.
54:54
Speaker 1: And part of the reason I don't watch too and I don't get sucked in is because I feel like I could blight this side too.
55:01
Speaker 1: If I'm being honest, I don't want to become a blight to West Indies team by being a waggonist and starting to support too late, and then it's a problem.
55:12
Speaker 1: So I find my way into watching a little bit of West Indies cricket and of course man starts to out small score.
55:22
Speaker 1: We are 50 runs for five wickets and I don't sort of get upset in my soul already.
55:27
Speaker 1: But shofian rutherford I would be my name, the man come anything, and he put on some runs at 150.
55:33
Speaker 1: I started understanding all right, brand laura pitch tricky and if we could get to 150 is a score we could defend and we did, we did, we did, we did, we put aside under some pressure and we beat them.
55:41
Speaker 1: And most recently I see we play afghanistan, which I would not understand this but from a daddy and them tell me and everybody watching cricket, they say afghanistan is the big side in the group.
55:52
Speaker 1: Afghanistan beaten everybody in our group and we were the two undefeated teams and I expected to see.
55:57
Speaker 1: You know, two undefeated teams already qualify for the next round.
56:00
Speaker 1: We'll probably put on a second string team or get some other players eyeing.
56:05
Speaker 1: Neither these teams do this.
56:06
Speaker 1: They clearly went out there and played to win the game, but west indies beat them very, very, very, very, very, very, very bad, very, very bad.
56:14
Speaker 1: I want to read from here from the guardian right uh, west indies were in a record-setting mood on monday night.
56:20
Speaker 1: Nicholas perron blasted the host to the highest powerplay score in T20 history 92 for 1.
56:26
Speaker 1: That's the kind of scores I want to see.
56:28
Speaker 1: You know what I mean when I see big numbers for small wickets.
56:30
Speaker 1: You know 92 for 1, and the highest World Cup score for the West Indies, 218 for 5, as they dominated Afghanistan at the Darren Sammy Cricket Ground in St Lucia.
56:39
Speaker 1: Remember that Bravo working for Afghanistan now?
56:42
Speaker 1: Eh, so Bravo must have done call up them boys and say well, here, what is he seeing, here, what are we doing?
56:46
Speaker 1: There's how he bowling baby Bravo, for we, afghanistan, can never beat you.
56:51
Speaker 1: While the group's scene counter had no bearing on where the teams would be placed in the Super 8, it was still a crucial match as they looked to stay perfect for the tournament.
56:59
Speaker 1: In the end, west Indies stretched their winning streak in the format to 8, with Puran notching a new personal best at 98 or 53 balls.
57:06
Speaker 1: And it was so unfortunate.
57:08
Speaker 1: Puran is a fella you had to root for.
57:10
Speaker 1: You had to like Puran and I saw you to see him reach so close to the 100, batting and poising everything and really, in the last over, trying to get to run so he could get back on strike to get to the 100.
57:21
Speaker 1: Come and get, come and get run out.
57:23
Speaker 1: I mean a great throw by the fellow from afghanistan, right it it.
57:28
Speaker 1: The man threw from almost the boundary and and hit the wicket clean.
57:32
Speaker 1: I mean how often that gonna happen.
57:34
Speaker 1: I remember, remember gladstone small, I remember people remember that, but it was an amazing throw.
57:39
Speaker 1: And I mean fitting for innings at that level.
57:42
Speaker 1: I suppose you want that start of 100, but that that 98 is as good as any 100.
57:47
Speaker 1: So salute to the westernies.
57:49
Speaker 1: The cricket, as as my father and them did say, they say is very, very enjoyable.
57:53
Speaker 1: You know, I mean the game's competitive.
57:55
Speaker 1: Even when it's not competitive is a vibe, because the first thing I'd seen was the empty stadiums in guyana and here any ticket prices might be part of the reason.
58:03
Speaker 1: So I understand that.
58:03
Speaker 1: The local game that West Indies played I believe they said it was $900 to see the game that's a little bit of a, that's some money.
58:13
Speaker 1: I never hear a ticket price for a local team that high yet since I've been watching sports down here.
58:19
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong about that, but even though the locals have bought Nadia and St Lucia that was Nick Hastings and St Lucia or Trinidad, to be fair.
58:27
Speaker 1: Trinidad, people came out and St Lucia, people come out and having a good time.
58:30
Speaker 1: So to my guy Cullen, my guy, he gone at different level.
58:33
Speaker 1: Now he man stopped watching West Indies on TV.
58:35
Speaker 1: The man is going, I was going to say for heartbreak, but this time I will keep it positive, in the spirit of Labor Day and I want West Indies to get the fruits of the labor, because I remember where I was when Carlos Braffet hit.
58:48
Speaker 1: Well, it was Ben Stokes for some big six.
58:51
Speaker 1: I was lecturing, of course, in CTS, and we went to Wendy's for lunch and it just so happened it was on the TV in Wendy's.
58:56
Speaker 1: It was the right time we extend the lunch a little bit and we see them take the World Cup.
59:00
Speaker 1: So I'm wishing the West Indies the best.
59:02
Speaker 1: I'm wishing them that they continue to put in the work and get the fruits of our labor.
59:07
Speaker 1: Is what we're looking for.
59:08
Speaker 1: We're looking for things to celebrate.
59:11
Speaker 1: Work, work, work work work, cock up your bumper.
59:13
Speaker 3: Work, work, work, work, work.
59:15
Speaker 3: Shake up your bumper.
59:29
Speaker 2: Work, work, work work, work.
59:31
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, wait a minute, boy.
59:33
Speaker 3: The girls whining again.
59:34
Speaker 3: Watch all the girls them walking up again.
59:36
Speaker 3: Watch all the girls them talking up again, pushing that baby by your boyfriend.
59:39
Speaker 3: Now, right, go down and make it go wrong, and you can't go wrong.
59:43
Speaker 3: No tongue to the drum.
59:44
Speaker 3: Start to work up and give me low chuck Trimble and then bring it right up Again.
59:48
Speaker 3: One good dong and make it go wrong.
59:50
Speaker 3: Chuck out the long no tongue to the drum.
59:52
Speaker 3: Start to work up and give me low chuck Trimble and then bring it right up.
59:55
Speaker 3: Work, work, work, work, work, work.
59:58
Speaker 3: Push back your bumper.
1:00:00
Speaker 3: Work, work, work, work, work, work.
1:00:02
Speaker 3: Cock up your bumper.
1:00:03
Speaker 3: Work, work, work, work.
1:00:05
Speaker 3: Shake up your bumper.
1:00:06
Speaker 3: Work, work, work, work.
1:00:09
Speaker 3: And everybody wind up, wind up, bust your ears and grind up, grind up, and let me see you come wind up, wind up, bust your ears and grind up, grind up and everybody wind up, wind up, bust your ears and grind up, grind up, and let me see you come wind up, wind up.
1:00:55
Speaker 2: Bust your ears and grind up.
1:00:57
Speaker 2: We'll be right back.
1:01:00
Speaker 1: You don't find labor there being a holy laser oxymoron, and Labor Day being a holiday is an oxymoron.
1:01:09
Speaker 1: I come here to play a whole set of songs about work and hard work, and the day itself actually have nothing to do with hard work.
1:01:17
Speaker 1: It is more a reflection of how much holidays we have in this country and how we actually don't like to work at all.
1:01:30
Speaker 1: It's pretty much who we are.
1:01:31
Speaker 1: So I mean in the spirit of a work day, a labor day in the middle of the week nonetheless, that have nothing to do with work.
1:01:52
Speaker 2: I had to play this one right?
1:01:53
Speaker 3: Well, a challenge in anybody who think that they're more lazy than me.
1:01:55
Speaker 1: Open competition to prove I'm the world's most laziest man you could come from Germany, you could come from.
1:02:03
Speaker 1: France.
1:02:04
Speaker 1: If you think you're more lazy than me, you could take a chance, but I'm lazy to wine or dine.
1:02:12
Speaker 2: I'm lazy to speak.
1:02:13
Speaker 2: My mind Sunshine is as hot as fire.
1:02:17
Speaker 1: I'm lazy to perspire, I'm hungry like a one to death.
1:02:21
Speaker 3: I'm lazy to bite my bread.
1:02:23
Speaker 1: I'm drowsy and I'm sleepy like an old ram sheep.
1:02:25
Speaker 2: But I'm lazy to go to sleep.
1:02:27
Speaker 2: I'm lazy to go to sleep.
1:02:30
Speaker 1: I'm lazy to go to sleep.
1:02:32
Speaker 1: I'm going to play that for some of the hardest working people in the world.
1:02:35
Speaker 1: Hey, the Mighty Sparrow.
1:02:37
Speaker 1: Anytime you see him in the papers, we had to talk about him.
1:02:39
Speaker 1: This is from the Newsday by Melissa Doughty.
1:02:41
Speaker 1: New rum to be named after Mighty Sparrow.
1:02:45
Speaker 1: I, mr Doughty.
1:02:45
Speaker 1: New rum to be named after Mighty Sparrow.
1:02:46
Speaker 1: I like it already.
1:02:47
Speaker 1: I want to drink all.
1:02:48
Speaker 1: He gave the world what might be termed the quintessential rum song Drunk and Disorderly Certainly my favorite rum song.
1:02:54
Speaker 1: But now a brand of rum will actually bear his name.
1:02:56
Speaker 1: The Mighty Sparrow aged rum with spices was introduced on his Facebook page on May 14th.
1:03:02
Speaker 1: However, the Mighty Sparrow is not the one behind the rums, although they bear his name.
1:03:06
Speaker 1: Us singer-songwriter Lane Steinberg and US producer-director and screenwriter Leonard Dorfman are the rums' founders.
1:03:14
Speaker 1: Four images of bottles were posted and visitors to his page were asked to give their opinions on bottles and labels.
1:03:20
Speaker 1: Sparrow reposted them on May 19th, asking for more responses.
1:03:24
Speaker 1: The product's website was launched on June 8th and the producers said they were looking for partners to bring the product to market, and all the details were available on the website.
1:03:32
Speaker 1: The rum falls under the mighty Sparrow Company headquartered on 10 Center Street, ovington, new York.
1:03:37
Speaker 1: In a brief interview on Wednesday, sparrow confirmed that he had granted permission for his name to be used for the brand.
1:03:42
Speaker 1: He said I thought it was something good and I waited on my contract.
1:03:46
Speaker 1: When you're putting the work, you must get the result, like the West Indies, right?
1:03:51
Speaker 1: Sparrow said he was approached three years ago with the idea the Califsonian was baptized.
1:03:55
Speaker 1: Sparrow, sparrow, sparrow.
1:03:59
Speaker 1: You know baptizing and looking for the rum money.
1:04:03
Speaker 1: The Califsonian was baptized at the Linden Seventh-day Adventist Church in New York in 2022.
1:04:08
Speaker 1: Asked if the rum bearing his name was in conflict with religious beliefs, sparrow said as long as we have to go along those lines, we have to remember moderation is the name I say so.
1:04:18
Speaker 1: It is the key, and not because somebody is sponsoring something, they have to find themselves completely out of it.
1:04:26
Speaker 1: Whatever you are doing, you have to do things moderately.
1:04:28
Speaker 1: So salute to Sparrow.
1:04:30
Speaker 1: Aged Spice Rum, the bottle looking nice.
1:04:32
Speaker 1: What else to say?
1:04:33
Speaker 1: Sparrow said he was not deeply involved and he wished the founders success.
1:04:36
Speaker 1: So I mean, basically, we see this many, many times before, right?
1:04:39
Speaker 1: Just last week I was talking about Cartel.
1:04:41
Speaker 1: Well, coincidentally, I thought by now we'd have news for you on what happened at Cartel.
1:04:45
Speaker 1: But they said by beginning of July is when you'll find out if you're free or not.
1:04:50
Speaker 1: So no bail.
1:04:52
Speaker 1: The whatever hearing it was end on Friday.
1:04:56
Speaker 1: But I suppose it's taking some time to deliberate on whether he should have a retrial or come back out.
1:05:00
Speaker 1: But I bring up Cartel because Cartel also had a situation like this with Street Vibes Rum.
1:05:04
Speaker 1: He wasn't the founder, he wasn't the manufacturer or anything, he just lent his image and likeness to the rub and promote it.
1:05:12
Speaker 1: Uh, we saw that with marshall.
1:05:14
Speaker 1: Doing three zero was the same type arrangement.
1:05:16
Speaker 1: Should I say diddy and sorok or we should just skip that, you know, I mean maybe we should skip that, but this is not abnormal for somebody who popular in music, especially music and alcohol can go hand in hand and to do something like this.
1:05:28
Speaker 1: So the fact that them fellas could do this, because Sparrow is 182 years old, the fact that he could get a deal like this at this point in time, show the kind of name recognition these fellas have and the kind of brand they've been over the years.
1:05:39
Speaker 1: Now I was looking for a Sparrow song to play about work right To line up with this article, and I feel I've found one.
1:05:51
Speaker 1: Take it how you wanted.
1:06:05
Speaker 1: I'm a slave From a land.
1:06:08
Speaker 2: So far I was caught and I was brought here from Africa.
1:06:15
Speaker 2: I'm a slave.
1:06:21
Speaker 3: From a land so far.
1:06:24
Speaker 1: I was caught and I was brought here from Africa well, it was licks like fire from the white master every day down on the knees weeks and weeks before we crossed the seas to reach in the western east.
1:06:45
Speaker 2: Can you make me work?
1:06:46
Speaker 2: I said I work.
1:06:48
Speaker 2: Good lord, I'm dying and I'm crying.
1:07:06
Speaker 2: Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh.
1:07:22
Speaker 2: I wanna be free.
1:07:24
Speaker 2: Many times I wanted to run, but the English lay master standing there with the gun oh, I know he gonna shoot to kill.
1:07:59
Speaker 1: So I stay, I stay and I pray, but the plan ain't still, and I pray.
1:08:05
Speaker 2: but the plan is still.
1:08:06
Speaker 2: I study night and day how to break away.
1:08:09
Speaker 2: I got to make a brilliant escape.
1:08:13
Speaker 3: But every time I think about them whip and them dogs, my body has tried to shake.
1:08:19
Speaker 3: He made me walk.
1:08:20
Speaker 3: I said I was oh oh.
1:08:23
Speaker 3: Lord, no way I toil, I toil, I toil, I toil, I toil hard each day.
1:08:29
Speaker 3: I'm dying, I'm crying Lord.
1:08:56
Speaker 2: I want to be free.
1:09:13
Speaker 3: In my heart there was much to say, and I hoped that the boss Would have listened to me someday, although he knew my request was small.
1:09:33
Speaker 1: It was the sting of the whip there To answer me when I called.
1:09:40
Speaker 2: We had to chant and sing.
1:09:42
Speaker 1: To express our feeling To that wicked and cruel man.
1:09:47
Speaker 2: That was the only medicine To make him listen.
1:09:50
Speaker 2: We'll be right back.
1:09:52
Speaker 2: I'm dying, I'm crying.
1:10:17
Speaker 2: Well, I oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
1:11:01
Speaker 3: And then times changed In so many many ways.
1:11:08
Speaker 2: Till one day somebody said free the bloody slave.
1:11:12
Speaker 2: I was then put out on the street.
1:11:19
Speaker 2: I have no clothes.
1:11:23
Speaker 3: I have no food, I have no place to sleep.
1:11:25
Speaker 3: I have no clothes.
1:11:28
Speaker 3: I have no food, I have no place to sleep.
1:11:29
Speaker 3: I have no education, no particular ambition.
1:11:31
Speaker 3: This I cannot conceal.
1:11:33
Speaker 3: Forgot my native culture, live like a vulture From the white man I had to steal.
1:11:41
Speaker 2: Because he made me work.
1:11:42
Speaker 2: I said I work, oh Lord, no pay, I toil I toil, I toil.
1:11:51
Speaker 2: I say I toil so hard each day, I'm dying, I'm crying and cry.
1:12:08
Speaker 2: Oh Lord, I wanna be free.
1:12:10
Speaker 2: Ooh ah, ooh ah, ooh ah, ooh ah, ooh, ah, ooh.
1:12:13
Speaker 2: Ooh ah, ooh, ah, ooh, ah, ooh, ah, ooh, ah, ooh you don't get much more work than that, right?
1:13:06
Speaker 1: Well, at least now we're getting paid to get the work right.
1:13:08
Speaker 1: This is what the Labor Day celebration is about, man, what the labor movement is about.
1:13:14
Speaker 1: I'll never forget my partner one telling me let me not say what way he's working, but he was telling me which part he's working.
1:13:20
Speaker 1: They had a protest at the time about increased wages.
1:13:26
Speaker 1: You know how the union thing is go.
1:13:30
Speaker 1: They basically bargaining now for all 2012, 2013, and them kind of years.
1:13:39
Speaker 1: And no matter how far I go, I live in a house where the teachers and them get back pay me a cent, me a cent, not a red cent, not a dollar ain't come through for me back pay at all.
1:13:54
Speaker 1: What just happened?
1:13:55
Speaker 1: This labor movement?
1:13:55
Speaker 1: I better delete this episode.
1:13:57
Speaker 1: But he tell me when they're in a meeting he said they're in a meeting with the main people in the institution, right, and then the staff come to uh, protest and they're singing heavy negro spirituals.
1:14:12
Speaker 1: You know, I mean the second.
1:14:13
Speaker 1: We shall overcome.
1:14:14
Speaker 1: And you know, I mean you know.
1:14:16
Speaker 1: You know how it's good, but everything in that trinity is a lime and a fit.
1:14:19
Speaker 1: So eventually, when we finish with these spirituals and so on we start to sing.
1:14:23
Speaker 1: Um, he said he started singing outside.
1:14:24
Speaker 1: You know, we want our money back back, we want our cola back back.
1:14:28
Speaker 1: We want our money right now.
1:14:29
Speaker 1: You know the chants and things always make protests nice, you know what I mean.
1:14:32
Speaker 1: And he said when they started to run out, when they started to run out of chants and things, he said the place got quiet for a little while and then the next thing he hears water and powder.
1:14:45
Speaker 1: Water and powder.
1:14:47
Speaker 1: Water and powder the budget's started.
1:14:51
Speaker 1: He had a love for the audience, but he had an understanding of the labor movement itself globally, but in the Caribbean in particular, a big part of the labor movement is rooted to the fact that many of us came here and who get forced to work, who get indentured into working and get short pay and get promised here.
1:15:06
Speaker 1: And who get forced to work, who get, who get indentured into working and get short pay and get promised and never get what it was to collect, and somebody.
1:15:11
Speaker 1: The verses one verse in particular, sparrows stand out to me.
1:15:14
Speaker 1: It's so powerful where you say somebody make a decree and they declare time to leg with the slaves, with no kind of plan whatsoever.
1:15:21
Speaker 1: You're accustomed having somebody controlling you, telling you what to do every day, giving you three, four square meals a day, and all of a sudden now you're getting nothing.
1:15:28
Speaker 1: You just get put out on the street and they give you freedom as if it's some badge of honor and you have to figure it out.
1:15:34
Speaker 1: So you must remember what Labor Day is for.
1:15:38
Speaker 1: You must work for Labor Day.
1:15:39
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
1:15:39
Speaker 1: The thing about it is when you have your own business and your own thing, it's a no, it's a no off day.
1:15:48
Speaker 1: No, it's a no, it's a no labor day.
1:15:49
Speaker 1: No matter of fact, when I say holidays have always been studying.
1:15:53
Speaker 1: This it's double time again.
1:15:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, double and triple time.
1:15:58
Speaker 1: But talking about the young entrepreneurs, are we talking water and powder?
1:16:01
Speaker 1: They have some.
1:16:01
Speaker 1: You two I want to highlight here by the name of the name of the crew is Cheerful Company, and this is what I mean when I say innovation and trying things Especially like for youths.
1:16:12
Speaker 1: Today, when I study and think it was so much about not why, when we study it was so much about doctor, lawyer, engineer, a tradesman, a draftsman, whatever you know, it was so content.
1:16:26
Speaker 1: It's like strict professions.
1:16:27
Speaker 1: You had to fit yourself into and do well in those fields and get a good job in a good corporate place.
1:16:33
Speaker 1: So even if you had to start a business, you had to start a business in them spaces.
1:16:36
Speaker 1: So you find that somebody come out and they had a ACC and whatnot.
1:16:40
Speaker 1: They start their own firm and they do anything.
1:16:41
Speaker 1: A man and a lawyer, he starts his own law firm and he build from there or a restaurant.
1:16:50
Speaker 1: You know, the business ideas were so traditional.
1:16:52
Speaker 1: But what I love about the youths today is that they truly same social.
1:16:53
Speaker 1: I mean just what I do in here, and I guess that that's why I trying to come to terms with the fact that I might have something to give in in nigel and them and so to start broadcasting in their class.
1:17:04
Speaker 1: If you want to learn about podcasting and thing, I glad to tell them any anything I do or learn to do or figure out how to do or do wrong or help that they need to start up.
1:17:13
Speaker 1: I willing to help anybody who willing to start up and try a thing and do it.
1:17:16
Speaker 1: I helping anybody I like to see you to get through.
1:17:19
Speaker 1: I like to see them try something and succeed and and do great.
1:17:23
Speaker 1: You know.
1:17:23
Speaker 1: I like to see how I went to school with Bravo.
1:17:26
Speaker 1: I remember him being a little cricket boy.
1:17:28
Speaker 1: He was running down the cricket.
1:17:29
Speaker 1: That little youth had always loved that and look where he reached now Afghanistan.
1:17:33
Speaker 1: You can't be that, you can't be that kind of success, and I can tell people all the time sometimes we, because we come from that generation, we had to redefine success.
1:17:42
Speaker 1: We had to broaden what we call success.
1:17:51
Speaker 1: Success have all different kind of looks and all kind of different flavors, especially with youths today.
1:17:53
Speaker 1: Some of the ways these youths gonna succeed and do well in this life is is ways that we might not ever understand what they're doing.
1:17:55
Speaker 1: And this you, this group, are cheerful.
1:17:58
Speaker 1: Uh, the cheerful company are glad they give it.
1:18:00
Speaker 1: When I, when I, you know, progress is a hell of a thing, you know, it warms my cool heart because when I saved this to talk about it, they had a kind of obscure instagram name kj somebody, somebody, somebody.
1:18:11
Speaker 1: I don't know what the name was and then when I pull it up to talk about it, it didn't come up at all and when I pull back the link I realized they changed it to cheerful company the the.
1:18:20
Speaker 1: The first thing you see when you look at their bio is the cheerful company at trinidad flag and god.
1:18:26
Speaker 1: First, you could tell they're very, very trinidadian, very patriotic in the way they talk and they be in their whole selves.
1:18:33
Speaker 1: They bring to it and you could see they went.
1:18:36
Speaker 1: They're from some churches here I'm talking a lot about um thing, what happened, church and thing but they are so authentically themselves that they build an instagram page and all they do is think that they ain't created to know.
1:18:47
Speaker 1: People do this before on TikTok and they just have a no, I got no.
1:18:51
Speaker 1: I got something like the oldest man in the world trying to explain this, right, but you would have seen them before because they's been looking into the camera and some letters going over their head.
1:18:58
Speaker 1: So the the first one I saw is where they say name a car with this letter and then you see the letters going overhead and they stop on Y and you have to say a car with this letter and then you see the letters going over here and they stop on why and you have to say a car with a wire.
1:19:08
Speaker 1: Then they say yaris and you get away.
1:19:10
Speaker 1: But if your cat think I don't know why, they have a pillow in front of them with some powder or flour or something so and they dunk the person placing the face in the powder floor.
1:19:19
Speaker 1: That idea itself it's a you know way people do it before is something that is seen trends on tiktok and thing.
1:19:24
Speaker 1: But the lesson here, right, is that you see, when you just see authentic self, because them four young ladies let me stop saying little girls, I sound like I'm old people now but these four young ladies have a vibe and energy among for them that you could see, that's just how it is.
1:19:39
Speaker 1: And they have a, they have a.
1:19:41
Speaker 1: They the infectious, like when you watch a little part of the clip.
1:19:45
Speaker 1: You can't stop watching.
1:19:46
Speaker 1: You're waiting to see who face clean and it's funny when they can't figure something out.
1:19:51
Speaker 1: And the little small one I think her name is Jewel.
1:19:56
Speaker 1: She has a kind of gangster style so she doesn't want nobody pushing her.
1:20:00
Speaker 1: She's answering them rough things but she doesn't have an idea what letter it started with.
1:20:04
Speaker 1: She can't make a guess.
1:20:05
Speaker 1: And boy, they push it.
1:20:06
Speaker 1: I don't know where they're getting this amount of flour, because when they put one face, all the flour could dand in.
1:20:13
Speaker 1: I hope.
1:20:14
Speaker 1: And I've seen them starting to get sponsorships.
1:20:16
Speaker 1: I want to say I saw them do something with Church's Chicken recently.
1:20:22
Speaker 1: Did I see them do something with Standards as well?
1:20:24
Speaker 1: So it's like I've seen all these influencers.
1:20:27
Speaker 1: You know they get opportunities.
1:20:28
Speaker 1: I like to see that.
1:20:29
Speaker 1: I like to see you to get through in this life.
1:20:31
Speaker 1: I find it taking too long for national floor mills to call these youths.
1:20:36
Speaker 1: We need people their age in marketing positions and company.
1:20:40
Speaker 1: You know who following the trend of what going on with these youths, these youths that have 30-something thousand followers, 13,000-something followers and the videos themselves are infectious.
1:20:50
Speaker 1: Maybe it's because of their background and thing in nature.
1:20:54
Speaker 1: It's very clean, it's very wholesome, family-oriented.
1:20:56
Speaker 1: There's something your mother and your grandmother and them could watch and enjoy, or my children could watch.
1:21:01
Speaker 1: Very, very family-oriented and wholesome.
1:21:03
Speaker 1: I like them.
1:21:04
Speaker 1: I hear from palestasie.
1:21:07
Speaker 1: The name is avril kisha jewel, and she's not sure what he thought when it wasn't me.
1:21:10
Speaker 1: It's palestasie researcher for the.
1:21:13
Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of researcher this podcast really have, but check them out.
1:21:16
Speaker 1: Just go on instagram, pay any cheerful company, or on tiktok and I see the start the youtube channel.
1:21:21
Speaker 1: Now the no, no, start the youtube channel.
1:21:23
Speaker 1: So don't have a few videos, but please like, go and like them and share and subscribe and all the things that you'd say, because if these youths get through and make it big all around the world with this, I will, I will feel so good to see.
1:21:35
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
1:21:36
Speaker 1: They do well for themselves.
1:21:37
Speaker 1: Matter of fact, I know seeing them an intro video and if, um, if we really had proper researchers in this in, we'd have watched the intro video before we start.
1:21:46
Speaker 1: But I mean big, big labor.
1:21:49
Speaker 1: They mean trying to work too hard.
1:21:50
