Episode Date: May 24, 2024

Dave Anthony picks a newspaper from a day in history and reads it to co-host Gareth Reynolds. This week they are joined again by Lamb of God singer Randy Blythe Redbubble Merch

Look, as you probably know, I travel a lot. Too much? Sure, sure, that's fair. And on the road, if I ever have a choice between a hotel or an Airbnb, I always go Airbnb just because it's better. So for instance, when I was just on tour recently, there were a couple nights where I had off and instead of getting a hotel, I would get an Airbnb because I could have a kitchen. I like a home way over a hotel.

There's just a little bit more of a personalized experience. So whenever it's up to me, I really always go with that just because it's better. Feels like your home, you just have more amenities. But also I recently started thinking like while I'm gone, can I turn my place into an Airbnb? And the answer is yes, it can be as easy as putting your place up and then having a little more scratch generated from someone staying at my place while I'm on the road. So whether you could use a little extra money to cover some bills or for something more

fun, your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much at airbnb.ca slash host. All right, everybody. Welcome to the Past Times podcast. Each week we go through an old newspaper from a random date in history picked out by Dave Anthony. I'm Gareth Reynolds, and I've never seen it before, and neither is our guest this week. A legendary musician, he's an author, he's a philanthropist, he's a surfer.

And you know what else he is? He's patient with cats and a dynamite guy, and if we ever lost him, we'd find him with dynamite. The great Randy Bly joins us. Hello, Randy. Thank you, well done on pronouncing the name correctly. It's always been how I say it. I know.

It's it's yeah I mean, it's it's a setup his name's a setup It's a strange way to approach names and language isn't it Randy for someone to think that it's a setup Well, I mean wouldn't it make you think that a man's father maybe instilled him with some weird fears and odd complexes You're in a fucking kangaroo outfit that you killed. I didn't kill his dad his dad died of natural causes

It's a non-fiction book. It's coming out with Hachette, same editor. It's called Just Beyond the Light. And it's a book about different lessons

I've tried to learn from different people. Are we in it? You'll be in the third one. Is that a promise? But people like my grandmother, you know, who grew up in an era we talked a little bit about last time I was here. The Roaring Twenties.

The Depression. Oh, I forgot about that, probably. The downside. I also have a book coming out called Just Beyond the Light that's about the Lord Jesus Christ. J-Town. J-Town. Okay, have you seen this? Oh, J-Town. J-Town. Okay, have you seen this? Oh, J-Town surfing, fuck yeah.

Yes. You must get a lot of stuff from, do you keep everything fans give you? No. Do you put it in like a room? I keep some things, because they're just so cool. Yeah, but some stuff you just go like, oh cool.

But there's just so much stuff. You get so much because you're also the lead singer of Lamb of God. And I'm a photographer as well, so photographers love to give me prints that they have taken and it's normally pictures of me. And they bring them to me on tour and I appreciate the sentiment, the thought,

the effort they put to them, but they're bringing me a 18 by 20 print of myself, which, yet another picture of me. How long were you famous before you started going like, okay, I'm not gonna start keeping stuff? I don't know if I'm famous yet or not. That's a crazy thing to say. But.

A week? Yeah, and then people are like, oh, you cut your hair. Yeah, see, and I would argue that that is what we call fame. I guess. I mean, I can go to Barnes and Noble without people mobbing me or something. Right, a bookstore maybe, yeah. I end up to Barnes and Noble without like people mobbing me. Yeah something right a bookstore. Maybe yeah Well, well get recognized when I'm bottomless. All right, so well, we're done with the intro

Officially well Randy. Thank you for joining us. You know the deal here. We're gonna Go through a newspaper, right? We don't know when it's from right, but we like to guess and you know what? You've been so good to us. You've been so good to us. You've been so good to the people. Normally I guess first, but please, you take the first stab. What year you think this paper's from? I think we need to go further back this time.

Okay, interesting. I think I've felt out Dave's psychology. You think you know him. In neurosis. Yeah, well there's a lot though. Whoa. He sucks you in to make you think you know him, and that's though. Whoa. I think we're gonna- He sucks you in to make you think you know him and that's when he strikes.

I think we're gonna go back to 1847! Wow, that's, okay. I like it. I like it a lot. Sorry, I had to yell. No, no, no, that's respect. I'm trying not to fanboy.

No, that's respect. It's like when people come up and when me doing that, I just realized, it's like when people come up, and when me doing that, I just realize, it's like when people come up to me in public and you scream my lyrics in my face. And you're like, I'm trying to, I just did that to Dave Anthony. I'm at Barnes and Noble.

I just did that to Dave Anthony. I just dollop Dave Anthony. You are on the podcast, so I'd be like if someone did it on stage. Well, that's true, that's true. Oh, by the way, we decided, we decided recently that I'm going to be the Lamb of God dancer.

There is. Well because you're pretty, you go for it a lot. Very physical. Yeah, very physical. A lot of jumping. But I'll be able to show you what I can do. And I think you'll be impressed. I'm excited to see it.

And I think you'll be impressed by this too, because I'm gonna guess that this paper is later than the last one. Right. And I'm gonna guess 1960. I can't really take you seriously because you don't have your paws on you talking to Randy. Please put the paws on oh I bet you there's a bunch of people out there who just hit the play pause button on the podcast now my paws are on The gloves are off the paws are on and by the way.

I'm reading a cue card. What the hell does it say? Harry McDowell a police officer was shot in the abdomen probably mortally wounded It does not pass through no no

That's a bad place to get very painful. Yeah, both the officers fell before Brown's revolver one being instantly killed the other dying Before he could be removed from the grounds so that the guy got shot in the mouth is dead it sounds like it Yeah, you got like that's what I was picturing you guys are like. It's going through the cheek. I'm picturing That's just a headshot. It sounds like they didn't update the story from the last sentence no I already printed that one. It's down What are we gonna do delete it? 1850 who killed Brown is not known 1850.

Who killed Brown is not known. Nobody actually saw the killing of Paola McDowell, and when Brown was slain, a dozen officers were firing at him, including McDowell, who, notwithstanding the fact that his life was ebbing fast, raised himself up on his hubbo and fired repeatedly at the man who had laid him low. On his what? On his elbow.

So he got shot, he's laying down, propped himself like a movie, propped himself up and popped a couple off, and then died. I'm a turfman. Yeah. We don't go down without a fight. He's on his elbow, he's got his gun up, and then. Yeah, okay.

Then he perishes. He shot me through the cheeks, goddammit. And then a horse. He shot me through the cheeks. And then a horse just ran over him. No! God damn it and then a horse Then a horse just ran over It was shortly after three o'clock when the police commanded by inspector Lewis appeared at the gates To make the third raid upon the park Wow

That's a lot of yeah, it's a lot of really want to shut this fucking race down, but how do you like or qua? How do you like doing an underground race track like it's massive? Yeah racing? Sounds like you got horses in there Not just a bunch of Dutch dancers, sir, I promise there was no delay gating admittance and seven wagon loads of officers rolled rapidly down the track toward the grandstand a Panic sees the people in the grandstand at the sight of the bluecoats and men and women made wild breaks for Liberty Oh, so this is like illegal. Yeah. Yeah, yeah Panic sees the people in ours what balls it takes to set up a racetrack awesome and be like I'm gonna have fucking racing

Yeah, Betty like there's nobody's gonna know into it. I mean so it must don't tell anyone you were here Everyone who's here it must have been legal then they made it illegal right? But then the horse people are all just like we're gonna still do it. Yeah, we're doing right. We're bootle and blood god damn it How do you think you're gonna get away with it? I don't know cops money talks bullshit walks have we heard who bootle and blood bootle and blood are the guys who were shot Oh, I don't know. Okay, the police paid no attention to the fleeing spectators But quickly surrounded the bedding ring and the judges stand All the officials of the track who could be found were quickly placed under arrest and a detachment of officers Was then sent to the stables to gather in the grooms and the jockeys. That's right. We're arresting the horses and the men who wrote them

We need a weird set of handcuffs for this one. We bought the junk get the jockeys The grooms the brides can go get the grooms the jockeys Yeah The grooms the brides can go get the grooms the choc is Small handcuffs yeah, yeah, yeah, just a tiny cell brings a mini party wagon out all right look We can stack them too high Attention was then turned to the people who scattered over the grounds singly kill them Yes Singly killed him Yes And a numerous got squads were making their way toward the exit only one man who was too fat to run was captured

They just walked up to buy I need a minute to flee. May I have a moment before I take off, officer? That is like a, that is one of those, you would just never see that in a paper today, even if that was true. Too fat to flee. Too fat to flee. I give up.

That's his book title, too fat to flee. Well I would have run 70 years ago. Fun fact, I was running. 70 years and 90 pounds ago. I was running when they caught me. As the officers approached Jam Brown, the wealthy turf man,

owner of Bobby Beach CW Johnson and the sensational two year old, okay so he's the horse owner of Bobby Beach, C.W. Johnson, and the sensational two-year-old. Okay, so he's a horse owner. Okay, the sensational two-year-old. Threw me. I was like, whoa.

Threw me for a fucking real loop there because I was a sticking horse. It's a sensational child. Yeah. All right, sit down. Three card monties the game. You've heard of the terrible twos. We have a sensational two.

A sensational two-year-old and other first-class horses Was standing upon the roof of one of the stables watching the policemen pursue people oh wow With him stood Bob Rice another well-known racing man Bobby Rice mm-hmm Brown they repeatedly said during the former raids around right around right Yeah, nicely done, Brown Rice. Okay. Hey, you wanna hold hands? No.

Brown had repeatedly said during the former raids on the park that he would allow no man to arrest him as long as he had not violated the law. He doesn't know how police work. Yeah, I don't think that's his decision, to be honest. He doesn't know how police work. Yeah, I don't think that's his decision to be honest. He doesn't know how police work at all. And if a policeman attempted it, he would kill or be killed before he was dragged to the police station.

He knows how it works. I guess he did his thing too. Powell and McDowell approached the shed and the former hailed Brown pleasantly who asked him to come down. What for? said Brown. Excuse me sir. Sir. May we arrest you please?

No. Oh, suit. I got a whole thing where I said I wouldn't be arrested and I'd kill or be killed. This whole place is illegal sir. Let's try it again. Pretty please. Would you pretty please?

No, it's not good. I'm feeling I have to start killing people. Beesh. What for is it, Brown? I'm trying to get out of here as fast as I can. That guy. Hey, I got to, why did we all chase the fat guy? I've been caught.

What for, said Brown, so that I could arrest you, replied replied Powell I'll not come down and I'll not be arrested said Brown Kirtley at the same time tossing a few pebbles from the stables gravel roof upon Powell's head Small rocks. It's so demeaning. Those actually hurt a little bit. Come and get me. Blink. The officer then ran around to the rear of the barn and placing a board against the wall

quickly clamored up to the roof and advanced towards Brown. Oh shit. Oh, Brown's not gonna like that. It's like the end of John Wick. Yeah. Officer McDowell had by this time passed on and brown What passed on does that mean McDowell's dead dead, but who shot him probably Brown no, but Brown hasn't been shooting Maybe the pebbles were really hard

Dead by pebble yeah and Brown Death by pebble. And Brown sprang to the ground and walked rapidly toward a gate opening from the grounds upon 14th Street. So he jumped off the shed roof. So this is like a Spider-Man type guy. Yeah. Parkour. Powell followed closely after him and Brown began to run, paying no attention to the repeated calls of Powell that unless he halted he would be fired upon. Brown ran into the fat guy.

Take me with you. May drag me please. As no attention was paid to him, Powell drew his revolver and sent a bullet whizzing through the air just over Brown's head. Powell drew his revolver and sent a bullet whizzing through the air just over Brown's head. That was enough. Brown instantly wheeled around his revolver, flashed in the sunlight, and he fired and Powell fell forward on his face. Well, shit. Dead. He's not messing around.

I know. Starts with pebbles. Uh... Come on, Chubby, we're outta here. I didn't do anything. He came down as though struck by a thunderbolt. Or bullet, I mean also a bullet. Yeah, why, exactly, truly.

It was like lightning hit him. He was shot. All of a sudden, he stopped. We're not sure why just yet. Blood began spurting from his head. Like thunder. As if Thor himself had struck them. Like thunder had hit his forehead.

Blood deluged from the man. And not a movement of the limb showed that he had known what had happened to him. He didn't really wasn't doing like, yeah. The questioning, like, whoa, he fell pretty weirdly. Like something changed. Without placing his revolver in his pocket, Brown fled rapidly along 14th Street. McDowell here in the shot. OK, I don't know what.

So McDowell passed on. Didn't mean he died. He must have run past or something. OK. McDowell here in the shot had run out of the gate and seeing the form of his companion lying prostrate in the dusty street and the form of Brown going rapidly up the street he'd once started in pursuit. He was a strong athletic fellow. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. Look at him go. Oh he's not like that fat guy at all. I can hear you. We can still hear. And he gained upon Brown in a way that convinced the fugitive that if he continued in the open street, it meant his capture or a fight for his life.

He darted into a yard and vents around the side of an unfinished house. McDowell's but a few seconds behind him and instead of... This is so well written. It is well written. It's actually... Yeah, you are actually... I'm on the edge of my seat. I mean, yeah, back then with the paper, you're like, holy shit.

Yeah. This is an unbelievable ring. This is the top story of the year. This is like Pulitzer Prize winning report. So he started around the side. McDowell was but a few seconds behind him, and instead of following Brown, he turned around the house in the opposite direction, and the two men came face to face

in a narrow passageway between the house and a high board fence McDowell made no effort to shoot Brown but grasped him fiercely by the throat and ejaculated. Wait, what? It says ejaculated. Things just got real weird. Oh! This is what I've always wanted! What?

That's why Brown was not going to be carried, taken alive. You will not jack off on me! It's a great move. I should have paid you! The cops are not shooting you, they're just jerking off on you these days. We're gonna shut down this race track! I'm not gonna lie, that was the last thing I expected.

Now I came on ya. And he grasped him fiercely by the throat and ejaculated. Stop eating it. I've got you, I've got you now. So he said it. Ejaculate. I've got you now.

Ugh. And then he slept and hugged him. Ugh. Ugh, I'm so tired. He bore his man. Let's make some popcorn and I'll nap. This is the most sexual thing. He bore his man back against the fence.

There you go. You want another round? Exceedingly. This guy knows what he's writing. This is a definitely homoerotic, like, it's like the penthouse forum column. They're slipping into the regular paper. At the same time trying to hold Brown's arms so that he could not raise the revolver,

which he still held in his hand. Don't shoot. Oh, I shot. Brown struggled desperately, but he was in the hands of a man who was more than his match, held in his hand. Don't shoot. Oh, I shot. Brown struggled desperately, but he was in the hands of a man who was more than his match and he could not break away. He then endeavored to raise his revolver, but the strength of McDowell frustrated his efforts.

He then pushed the weapon against the body of the officer and fired. Shit. With a cry of pain, McDowell fell back back clasping his hands over his abdomen, through which Brown's bullet had bored a ghastly hole. By this time, a dozen officers were close at hand, and as Brown paid no attention to their demands to surrender, several of them opened fire upon him. McDowell, who had managed, McDowell, who had been writhing upon the ground, managed to raise himself up. On the elbow.

On one elbow. And with a determination to even up matters with the man who shot him, opened fire from his revolver. Brown could not escape. He was surrounded on all sides. And before he could raise his revolver to protect himself, a bullet crashed through his right lung and another tore away the jaw

and the lower part of his face He's crazy man, but I think that I think the raising yourself up on the elbow is bullshit I do make the cops look at yeah, I think it's like some sort of like No, he was on the ground No, he was on the ground The word this article was incredible, but he wrote ejaculated and it just ruined everything it really did He took I mean it's really well made everything. Yeah true. That's a fair point for me. It took me out of it a little bit He jizzed I ever get shot yeah, no matter what happens. I'm gonna raise myself up on one elbow Yeah, I think I'm gonna think about this moment. I think I like the move. Oh, that's first of all

That's a little very nice of you Think about this guy to kangaroo. Yeah With the J town. Yeah sure It would be great if you were if you were shot for your last act to be just trying to whack off. Have some respect for yourself. I'm getting one last one out! Alright, let's just shoot one off real quick. Get him from the elbow.

That hurts so much. It's not a very big load. One second! I jerked off earlier! I should point that- just die! I should point that I jerked off earlier. I support that. Just die. I support not a jerked off earlier before we came out. That's why it's tiny.

Take a little time. Take a minute. Minute. Give me some of that water. He'd be doused it. This last ball had struck him almost exactly in the same spot as he had shot Powell. He fell to the ground and turned half over in a weak attempt to rise again, but he.

To his elbow. Yeah. But he had not the strength. And as the officers came running down the narrow pathway, he tried once more to rise, but it was only a convulsive movement of the limbs. And an instant later, he was dead. From what? Teregulosis. Thunderbolt. Consumption. Yeah. Thunderbolt. Okay so taking on the Morgue blah blah blah

James Brown was a man with a record. Yeah many records. I can sing many of them. Great ones. And if McDowell dies, he will be the 14th man who has gone down before his revolver. I guess. Ever? Oh, maybe cops. Before the... Before 14th cop. Oh, okay. Brown was born 52 years ago in Kansas, but moved to Texas while a boy,

and then it goes up here to the... Has since then made his home in that state. He was for 10 years the sheriff of Lee County. Wow. And it said that all the killing he ever did was in an official capacity. I like that. Yeah. I've only killed only efficient only business. Gentlemen off the record. We go off the record. Yeah. but yeah, I mean a couple of times on the weekend I killed for pleasure off the record I got a few more bodies on but yeah I shot a dog and a goat in a gravel pit He has been interested in the running Turf for the last 25 years and was generally regarded as a square man

He had amassed a fortune on the turf and his estate is estimated at over $1 million. Oh shit. The turf man is profitable. It's interesting, yeah. So I mean, he just didn't wanna be arrested for being at the racetrack. No, he's not having it.

I mean he really was. He is from Texas. Yeah, yeah, okay. It was probably gonna be a hefty fine, yeah. They don't enjoy being told what to do down there. No, they don't, no. No, they definitely don't. Even when it don't make sense.

Yeah, yeah. Trying to help you. And my freedom! The Chief McClanaghy said of the tragedy that it confirmed his determination to close the park. Look. No shit. Well, what are you talking about?

What is he gonna do about it? All right, it can stay open. He tried to close the park, they kill you. Yeah. Means we need to close that damn park. We gotta get that fat man outta here somehow. Far from making me change my mind, it confirms my decision.

If police officers cannot enter the park and the discharge of their duty without being killed It is time the park was closed. I mean that is such a funny thing for them like people want to watch races Gamble we don't like that. I'm sending the cops you die Well the fact that they've killed all these officers confirms that we are actually gonna have to shut it down Dangerous for the police so we're making the move. Wow, that was really crazy. That I think is our longest opening article. It was really, I've listened to a lot of these and that was actually edge of the seat. Yeah, well you're an author two times.

Well usually you start reading a long article on here and then you stop because it's like okay It's getting really like what's happening right now, but this was really well ready except for the That's the best part This has a bunch of headlines One by Dixon the black man made a monkey The black man made a monkey of Skelly. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. In eight rounds, the Brooklyn lad was clearly outclassed.

Terrific punishment. Inflicted upon Skelly while Dixon was untouched. Oh, boxing. Yeah. The second of the Olympic Club's pugilistic events, a hard fought battle. So, the white guy got beaten up by the black guy. That's what they're saying. Okay, right What year was this again eight eight man that must have been hard for them to take 18 and 92. Oh, yeah

Oh very upsetting one. Oh, yeah, and where was that? This is in New Orleans Well Think the culture down there is a little bit more intermingled. Yeah still I think the white It wasn't great. Well. It wasn't great. Yeah, the whites well the whites that's My book the fight tonight in the Olympic Club Arena the second of the high-priced attractions provided for public entertainment and test the endurance of this class in fistic firmament. Fistic firmament. Oh man.

That is, yeah, go ahead. Whenever you're ready. That gives me ideas. Time to partake of the fistic firmament. It sounds vaguely religious and pornographic at the same time. Yeah, well I like religion. With a contest between black and white

in which public sentiment nearly all in favor of the Caucasian and the public. Surprise, surprise. I wonder why. You're in the deep south. And the public betting nearly all on the side of the African. That is so.

We know what we want. Yeah. But we don't know reality. the All the pictures there of the white guy, and they're fucking hilarious. That's the bike oh Are you that's beyond colorblind gareth? I? Can't see my can't I got kangaroo eyes. I don't see color Refused to Both men stood high in their class and yet each was a representative of a class Dixon had up to this evening fought innumerable series of winning mills in professional ranks While his worthy opponent had equally as spotless a record in the amateur contest

One had experienced cleverness and gameness the other was known and highly rated for skill dog determination Do to do or die? Wow And that continues on The weather was warm. What a weird. In New Orleans. They like to throw in the weather a lot. It's a nice day. But the throng was like all good natured crowds that gather here as it was different in one respect. Ordinarily there's not a blackface to be seen in the arena. There you go.

It was like all normal, happy. Just as normal. Oh yeah, just matter of fact. We know black people. In New Orleans too. Well also, I mean, the black fighter must have been like, Jesus Christ. I mean, you know what I mean?

Like as he's fucking wailing on this white guy. I mean, if you're... Are they saying that there were, there were black people? Yeah, they were Yeah, there's black people in the audience. Yeah, which never happens, right? Yeah, right I if you're a black fighter at this time, you're like do I want to win? Yeah winning is losing to This could be a little dangerous

I don't know what's going on. He's stronger than I thought. There was a crowd of them tonight in the gallery. One of the stars tonight was a black man and the club acceding to the natural desire on the part of the black element to witness the engagement set aside a space for them. Okay, so they gave them a place to go. Yeah, sure. We could have said that a place to go. Yeah. Sure. We could have said that a lot.

Probably not the best seat. Should have been very comfortable. No, not at all. The black brothers did not come in large numbers, but he took, he took. Can you imagine? Yeah. Like we're gonna go see our homie

maybe beat up a white dude. I'll take a pass. Do you wanna go? No, I'll probably stay here, but good luck. I've looked at them, I think he's gonna beat the shit Our homie maybe beat up a white do you want to go? I think he's gonna beat the shit Come with me is there a runaway section Emergency exit yeah That's second he's on the ropes like I'd be like we should get the fuck out of here, so outy

Let's see They took a deep interest in what went on and felt a pardonable pride in the representative of pardonable pardonable prize a lot of pardonable pride What a way to put it with you like oh you're allowed to have a little pride Little pride Chief of police gaster sent a squad of policemen to keep the black contingent in order That's not that's fucking that is not who has to be worried. Yeah, of course

Now watch it now. Yeah, you're too hard. Don't get too excited for your boy, but be careful. You might get racist Treat the white people with some respect. We've been through enough in this country How dare you? But he did not have much to trouble himself with for the crowd was was terrified Quietly watching much to trouble himself with for the crowd was was terrified. Orderly, yeah, as orderly as that. Very quietly watching. Hit him, hit him, hit him, hit him. Tonight the same excellent police discipline was preserved as here, Tofore and

New Orleans generally does have excellent police discipline. It's true, yeah. And the crowd was handled with the greatest of ease. I believe it continues in the next one. Yeah, you're trying to wonder what would make the crowd more riotous. Would it be the white guy winning or the white guy losing? It would be the white guy losing

and the black audience cheering. Cheer, yes. That would be the white guy losing and the black audience cheering. Yes. That would be it. Right. If the white guy loses and the black audience doesn't do anything, then it's okay. I think it's acceptable. Okay. Because remember, they've all bet on the black guy.

Yeah, right. Right. There's that. Money. Money talks. Big important component in this country. I think that's probably exactly what happened. Yeah, yep Yeah, they were quietly like yeah, we're quiet. Oh, no

Awesome, let's out by us a lot of beer The knockout blow was a pile driver stroke plum before the neck There is some in the neck Knocked you out by hitting you in the neck. There is some in the neck son. Yeah, neck blow. I knocked you out by hitting you in the neck. Oh, brutal. Just right in the carteroid. I would watch more boxing if there was just, if you were trying to hit the neck more than anything.

He's really working the neck tonight Ted. He can't breathe. He's crushed his esophagus. Anderson's neck is really swollen. He looks like a python swallowing an egg There was some difficulty in detecting just which of half a dozen blows which Dixon slather on the face He had so many times. I don't know which one killed the white man, but it was in the last dozen Was the one that put Skelly to sleep so rapid a merciless was the rain of blows that it may be said a bunch of punches knocked him out.

Look I can't figure out which one. He hit him about 12 times in three seconds. We're not sure. There's no replay. He was dead at one point and then he kept going and then he was down. Blood was dripping from two breaks on his face down upon his breast. Dixon's bronze skin was dyed red from his opponent's blood. Oh my god. Skelly's eyes rolled wildly and his lids shut and he reeled to the earth. One, two, three, shouted the referee, counting the seconds. They really made the beginning sound like it was a much closer content. They were like, both fighters brought a lot to the table, but then at the end they're like,

but only one man could be covered in the other one's blood. The other man got fist fucked by the, it fist fucked his face. This was truly a fisting. The fisting firmament, the firmament of fisting. At the count of three, Skelly lurched forward upon one knee at the same moment, lifting one arm above his head He's in it yelled the crowd, but the crowd was wrong

The blood-covered boy who had forfeited his amateurship Amateurship for this reeled as he tried to force the other knee to act, tottered a moment and pitched headlong to the earth. I mean, the one knee trying to get up with your one hand in the air. Bruh, bruh. I'm okay. I'm okay.

I'm just trying. I only got punched 40 times. neck my next scene better days the the gloves were probably not the highest. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah Yeah, no they were leather yeah, it's probably worth for you. Yeah So on to ten went the count of the referee But the prostrate youngster had not moved when a thunderous shout went out into the night air. He's dead. Knocked out, yelled the crowd, and none louder than the 200 black folks

in the gallery assigned to them. Oh, okay. Wow. Dixon had stood with his right arm drawn ready to bring down the prostrate fellow should he succeed in standing up, so he just waited there. He's just waiting. Don't get up. Please. Don't get up please don't get up at the count of ten however

He dropped his guard and when Skelly had been bodily lifted to his chair He went to Skelly's corner and offered to shake hands Skelly did not see Dixon's offer and the latter picked up Shelly's hand with His glove and shook it oh Formality he's like dad. He's out. He's done. He picked up his head And shook it. Oh, that's the formality Dixon then turned and tripped over to his corner where he was joyously received by his trainers and backers the Boston Youngster had maintained the Bantam championship won a purse of 7,500 and a side bet of 5,000. Wow, he made a lot of fucking money. So he was from Boston. So that's insult to injury.

Yes, it is. A Yankee, a black Yankee comes down and whoops your fucking ass. A fucking blankie kicked your ass. A blankie, nice. The young Brooklyn amateur fought a game battle and that is all that can be said he had done. The funeral will be Saturday. Well you tried.

Please send flowers. He showed fight while Strank was with him and only gave up when nature gave out. He was fighting until he got his face fucked up. He did really well until he was murdered from gloves. Until his teeth were laying all over the match. I'll tell you, he was the best fighter before the match. Before they rang the bell, it was amazing. Before they rang the bell, that kid had a hell of a match.

He's a hell of a kid. The Boston Bantam's generalship was much admired, and his strength and hitting ability were considered something wonderful. At the end of the battle, The hell of a kid. The Boston Bantams general ship was much admired, and his strength and hitting ability were considered something wonderful. At the end of the battle, a challenge from Charlie Mitchell to the winner of the Sullivan Corbett contest was read and Hartley laughed at it.

Wow. What happened? That's just a different fight. So he challenged someone, and everyone's like, ah, good luck. Nearly every other fighter at the ringside wanted to fight somebody and police captain Barrett ordered all the challengers out Wow Still ready to fucking keep going yeah, that's a great. That's great. Especially the $5,000 bet yeah, you like to see that yeah That's great. That's I mean he made a lot of fucking yeah fuck yeah. I mean

Fumigated? Two carloads of immigrants held up and disinfected. Oh, fuck me. Disinfected. Fuck me. What, it's fine. It's going normal. It's normal, you guys.

No, this is not good. Two carloads of immigrants from New York over the Pennsylvania Road. They're from New York. Oh man, I like that a lot more. Yo, the big city. Hey, what are you doing? Get out of here.

Gas them, boys. Yeah, de-stink them. We're halted 20 miles from the city today, and both cars and passengers thoroughly fumigated before being allowed to proceed. Holy shit. So these are people from New York, but were immigrants. Yes. So they landed at, like, Ellis Island or whatever, and then they came over and then they came to Chicago.

No, they could have just been living in New York. So this might have just been regular, like Brooklyn. No, they may have been immigrants living in New York. Right, but it didn't matter Chicago. Yes, yes. You know immigrants will re-stink even after acclamation. The immigrants were in good condition and had been.

Oh my God, like they're Pontiacs. And. And. What the fuck? The immigrants were in good condition and had been... Oh my god, like they're Pontiacs! And... What the fuck? Good interior on some of them! Wait... Better fumigate them, just in case. And had been fumigated in New York, but additional precautions were deemed necessary. What the fuck?

Oh my god! Seddis, you're hungry? They were going to Chicago. To Chicago. Known for its delicious smells. Somewhere in Ohio. We think they may have picked up some bugs. We better spray these boys down one more time.

Fucking A. Here's what it is. No. A close watch is being kept on grand trunk trains for immigrants who are supposed to have escaped the Sarnia quarantine. Oh, okay, okay. I don't know what Sarnia is.

I think it's in Germany. Sarnia sounds like Narnia. Yeah, like Narnia, but. 200 persons from the infected. That makes it a little, I feel better. Do you? I mean, a little bit. I'm sure that they were like inventing a lot of this

I mean, I never heard of Sarnia before so they were like yeah, it's called Sarnia Sarnia. Yeah, Sarnia Yeah, I mean a lot's changed in that area like as far as what country is what? Since then but Sarnia. Oh, this is Canada. That's can't be right. I see I'm pro spring I think we should be a gay Canadians. I said that and I'm like Pray those motherfuckers. Yeah.

Yeah, oh no I do believe it's I do believe they came from

Canada Yeah, let's go. I'm with that. Yeah. Yeah, I think they came from but we actually just got a few mcgated up there in New York So we were thinking instead for tat Unfortunately the way we fumigate Chicago is a little different so bend over and spread them We're spraying Come on there bud. That's really not careful. I'm gonna ejaculate So what's going on? I'm gonna ejaculate in a minute So here I am ejaculating

You say it like that is very upset. I've got something to say I'm gonna ejacaculate. No. On these Sarninians. I'm gonna ejaculate all over these Sarninians. 200 persons from the infected districts of Germany disembarked from the Steamer Kremens at Montreal and as only 80 persons are now being held at Sarnia it is feared the others may have made their way into this country. So they're Germans through Montreal. Through Sarnia, Ontario. Right, right.

And then down to America. Down to America, and that's when we double fumigated. I am crawling. And they got fumigated from the quarantine, which isn't scabies. And by the way, I would love to know what they fumigated with back then. Right? Oh. Some sort of proto- then right? Yeah, just like some sort of pro DDT

Yeah, we got a little bit of the Lenny juice on it. Don't worry, that's just gonna make it gliding a little easier. No, I don't need to wash it. Now, what's your problem?

It's getting too hard or not hard enough? Don't matter. There you go. More votes. Let me just take your temperature the old-fashioned way, boy. There you go. It's an old fashioned way, boy. There you go. August Strindberg, the Danish poet,

is famous for his hatred of women. Imagine being famous for hatred of women in this time. Oh man. Like other people have been like, look, I agree, they shouldn't have rights, but chill the fuck out. It's aggressive this aversion seems to be uncontrollable at times and often leads the author into difficulty Wow

He must have really been letting it rip. Oh fuck you woman. I like he needs a much shock treatment Not long ago he happened to meet a lady at a friend just have some pie friends and taking hold of her oh no through her from the veranda hold of her. Oh no. Threw her from the veranda. What the fuck? It's a woman! Alright, well there's more coming so we should probably figure this out pretty quick. And now I will write a eight line poetic verse. This has been a really strange hang. Consider the woman. And now my latest poem. She stood a fuck woman. She was on the verandah. Not that kind of fuck woman. What rhymes with verandah toss?

I demand her never to see her again. Her name was Miranda and I demand her to throw her out the verandah. The poor woman who was injured brought suit against the ungallant writer on what grounds? ungallant very ungallant He was condemned to pay the plaintiff 115 golden And 200 golden at cost of the proceedings the case has cost much talk in Germany. Yes Fuck a through a lady Lady off the veranda and she was hurt

Okay, fine. Well, he does hate women. I mean the poet well listen I just my art. Yeah, this is my art. I this is what I did. I've put a lot of material from this moment This is my art. This is where I put a lot of material from this moment. Jesus Christ. Well, shit. That was a workout. There we go. You have one more small one?

No. No. All right, okay. Well, you can't beat Ferandah Toss. Ferandah's the way. That's right. Randy, thanks again. Thank you.

This has been the best. Come back whenever. Oh, I will. Whenever you're in town. And lamb-of-god.com for all your tour dates. Our tour dates. Yes. I misspoke. And Dave, I think the best way to end this

is for you to say something from the heart to our guest. I don't like Gareth. It's a really, really crazy thing. You had an option to say anything and that is crazy. Oh, we're bonding No, I don't I don't like this fun Well, Randy Bly thank you for joining us Again it's just super weird. Do you guys enjoy my J-Town ornaments? Yeah, the fact that you bailed us. I did. I still have it. It's right out right out. When you asked for our address, I was like, I don't know my computer. It just sits there and with the cake. Dave holds it up sometimes

for taping and things like that. So yeah, no, we appreciate it very much. All right, well, and excited to read your new book. It'll be out soon after this comes out. So, all right, God bless, everyone. Thank you. Some of these days, you'll miss me, honey. Some of these days. Look as you probably know, I travel a lot. Too much?

Sure, sure, that's fair. And on the road, if I ever have a choice between a hotel or an Airbnb, I always go Airbnb just because it's better. So for instance, when I was just on tour recently, there were a couple nights where I had off and instead of getting a hotel, I would get an Airbnb because I could have a kitchen. I like a home way over a hotel. There's just a little bit more of a personalized experience. So whenever it's up to me, I really always go with that just because it's better.

Feels like your home, you just have more amenities. But also I recently started thinking like while I'm gone, can I turn my place into an Airbnb? And the answer is yes, it can be as easy as putting your place up and then having a little more scratch generated from someone staying at my place while I'm on the road. So whether you could use a little extra money to cover some bills or for something more fun, your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much at airbnb.ca slash host.
