I don't know. Yes, synchronize it. Okay. Good thing. Yeah. Little women's going to be joining me. We got a lot to talk about in the middle of the clock. Oh, well, and actually I got to give him his purpose when he called me because we had a great conversation yesterday for Liberty. And one of the topics that we talked about in the world is the evolution of all sorts of people here in the Virgin Islands. And by extension, New York City and all that stuff. Because a lot of our we Virgin Islanders who are actually migrated to New York City.

Right? I mean, when you leave in the Virgin Islands, you're going to the states and you're going to the New York, right? And label leaders and activists and speaking on the corner was a big thing. Alexi Kubra, top Elizabeth and Hendrixson, who I learned about yesterday, me and some of that members of the table talk. And then we're also talking about the Mervin Evans. So I wanted to do an I mentioned yesterday, I wanted to give you a look at his props because one day when I brought him on, he pivoted the conversation and asked which Virgin Island and he got me calendar 0761 line by the way. And he asked which Virgin Islands governor or elected official had the most vast resume. Right? And he had said Mervin Evans was the one. So I knew that Governor Evans had done at one term and also was the delegate to Congress.

And I believe he's the only, he's the only virgin to do that, I believe. Right? To be the governor delegate. We've had the logo, Evans, Victor Frazier, Donna Christensen, Donna Christian Christian and I'm Stacey Plaskett. Yeah. So at this point, Governor Evans holds a distinction of always being, he will always be the first to last appointed first elected governor and also the only one to this point who has served as a delegate to Congress and a governor. Right? Of course, Stacey Plaskett, our current delegate to Congress is not only looking to join that fraternity. But she's also looking to be the first female governor. So a lot of things could happen this year, but we're not disrespecting any other teams.

They got respect them. You don't run the race and people and I read their shows. You run the race. I'm the track, I'm saying so. I wanted to do that. So Lolo Ellis, good morning. Glad to have you on. Good morning to you. I'm just wondering if people are born in a well-known list list. Yeah. Right? I go to give you a prop scout yesterday. We're going to attack him while Governor Evans reminded me of a conversation that you and I had on your second of the events had the had the best resume. The most brilliant resume out of all of the brilliant resumes of our former elected officials and current as well. So I want to give you a prop scout. That's a fact. Why you had a bet? Well, when we look at his at his dossier, his report, God, Lolo Ellis, this is my special human being. No. My wife, doctor, my wife, soldier, my public health administrator, and when he passed, at

the time when he passed, he was an envoy to train on in Tobago. You were about to embark on that too? That's what I'm talking about. He was an envoy. Yeah, man. I soon when I read that and I read it on the New York Times because his death, the New York Times ran an article and I keep telling people everything that happened in the US, the US, the US, the US, back in the day, the New York Times wrote about it all the time. They had a special eye out on all of the territories. Everything that happened, you could have fun with the acting. From the actual question, how much doctor do you have at Governor's? Medical doctors. Medical doctors too. I know Dr. Turmble. You know, he's a doctor as well. So I guess what, three? Three. Yeah, I think it's three. You like, I'm a teacher of the earth. I'll have them in teacher at one point or another. No, no. No, because teaching is a very popular job.

And when we go home from college, we can't find a walk. A lot of us end up in a classroom. You know me. You end up there? No, no, no. I live on my father's family. I go falling in love with it.

You know, he actually was a standard, a pretty young age, and a relatively young age. Yes, he did. He was. He was a 54 years ago, was the first day he ran. I don't know.

When we pursue only convenience, we miss those hidden connectors that give our lives meaning. When nearly anything can show up to our doorstep with just a few clicks, what's the point of pursuing something more challenging?

This is a show that celebrates the people around us that haven't taken the convenient road to where they are. And they remind me that life's meaning often comes in the pursuit of simple pleasures.

And I found no fun, so I was like, we had a game in St. Croix on transfer day in 1967. The Red Sucks and the Yankees. They played at the Polygyz Stadium. You came in September and then they went in quite a bit. No, no, no, no, it actually the other way around. The next day, they wasn't in September. Okay.

The man was a winner for a while. Cool. Mike Tyson. Yeah. When he came up, he'd come up, like, yeah, yeah, he'd know before that, right? That's me. That man, he would be. That's my left hand right. Right? Then he had a problem. Robbing given. And I'm not going to be in Robbing giving us an hour less stuff, right? Yeah. And he came back and I believe he was Frank Bruno. Remember, you were fighting regular, no?

They won if he came to champion, right? Yeah, almost killed Frank Bruno. We know a bank. Frank Bruno nearly killed he fought. And Frank Bruno didn't even realize he had hurt Mike Tyson. He was, yeah. Mike always had a glass jar, you know? Right? And Bruno, Nackia, punch. I went Mike, when Mike jumped behind them, Bruno, like, oh, my gosh, I hooked this man, Bruno, they finished he off. And you know, Bruno from, you need answers first from. You can find a coming, you can. Oh, OK. Yeah. That's why you did, huh? Yeah, you found a Caribbean. A lot of the grit, a lot of the grit, British athletes of color, their roots come out of the Caribbean. Yeah, that's what I was worried between New York and Canada and England. Lennox Lewis, right? Jamaica. And now, but he actually win the gold medal, fighting on the can, I know. That's right. Right? And I believe in for Christy, you know, some roots in the Caribbean too. He was a world. He was a world's fastest man for a couple of years.

You'll check. So, but when he, so Mike had a problem, I went and came back, you said, really clocked, really clocked, Randy Nate said he need 12 tickets and he said really clocked, OK? I have tickets. Yes, sir. Really got secure the tickets for us. And I can't have them up. For me, me. Randy Nate. Randy Nate. Somebody named Michael. I think we went to the fight boy. Oh, happy. I was next to the new edition. You joking. I was the next to the edition and Kenny and Kenny Smith. Kenny Smith for for inside the NBA. Yeah, you got to get married to a woman 20 years young and a he that, you know, oh, yeah, yeah, you get married again, man. But you wait for it. Wait for a pretty girl. Yeah, you know, you're married to a girl.

Some 20 years. You're going to hear me. I can't even see a image. And I can't even get married to a girl for 32 years old, man. I think I think I might agree. So something like that. Yeah. But I never let the quickest fighter be my life. Which one? Who was here? Who? Martin Ely. Oh, Pete. I'll beat that magnine or something, right? Yes. But I wasn't in there for the PD. No, you want to fight in, um, Julian has fight in Boston. And he wasn't undercut and Julian won the table back in Boston. And don't bring him for the first of millions against my patient. It was a good. No, no, he was a stiff. That's what I call him. OK, a stiff. OK, that was to make Mike. That was to make Mike look invincible. I'll give you a story, right? Wait, that was his first fight after the after the. Oh, yeah, yes, yes, yes, because. Yeah, because he lost his title in 1990 to the Boston Douglas. Yeah, yes. But here is one right?

A lot of people know about this. When Julian loves in Missouri, it's like again, Mike McCollum. Mike McCollum, yeah. Yeah, Mike McCollum. No, Mike McCollum. The guy from Detroit. Oh, he lost on McCollum from Detroit? Yes, he got knocked out. He got knocked out in the fourth room. I know he lost on Mike McCollum in Miami. That's all all in his career in the second room. You correct? OK. And then he won the title and then he will defend it and knock everybody. And he had to fight this guy named Michael. But the fight was supposed to take place in Mexico. But Julian Hanwo, my shop. So the post-war is I'm going to allow big up in the Mac center. Gerald Maclellan. Yes, Gerald Maclellan. Man for the win is man way better than Julian. He barely made the win. 160, right? My time fight come round. It's not like I only have 80 points. And Julian is a natural 154.

So the night before the fight, right? Me and Ranin and Marathi. And you think Maclellan walking up and down, right? And why do you walk in the pandemic? I went to him and say, you better go sleep. You better go sleep. You better go sleep. My brother will knock you out tomorrow night, you know? And when I'm on the journey, man, I get my green. I can't sleep. You tell me I'm running like, I can't sleep. The sun went into the ring. Julian tagging, right? But you're overpowered Julian. We've been going to Julian. I mean, knock out Julian. Man, I never your boy. I've had a nice trip. A trip piece. Shot, punch. Put you there. Shot, punch, punch. This is a nice, this is weird. And you drive? No, in Las Vegas. Las Vegas, OK. Yeah. So we went in the locker room with Julian after a fight. We got Julian and knock out. We feel free. And I power up Julian. I blow the air. I get blown and I'm freaking soon. I imagine that.

Then we get Mackellan. Followed Mackellan. Followed. So everybody was doing what Mackellan, like I do, right? The man passed out, never. He was unfit to fight. Wow. All right. He was unfit to fight. But no, no, no, you know, they fought twice. Yeah. The second, the first time he followed and the five, 10 months after. Yeah. And he's knocked out Julian in the second round this time. The first round this time. Yeah, first round. Yeah. You're right. Yeah. You went to take out Nigel Ben. That's a boy from England. From England. And he had my special fight. I lived there with the Robin. Because he's not Nigel Ben all the way. They take a land, ten to come to ten. And he gave back in. And he exhausted. And he said, I don't want me. And he was no good thing. So again, so the reason the story is that Julian lost the pass through, but you won the one. Look, no, you know, you know what?

He said what the fight with the first fight. The first fight with Mackellan and Jackson. They said five rounds of violence. Yeah, he said Julian. You said, man, you know, you said Julian Jackson and Joe McLellan brought enough power into the same ring to make every exchange feel dangerous. I made it 1993 at the Thomas at Max Center in Las Vegas. I was kept the club on. I'm afraid you at 32 Jackson was making the fifth defense of his WBC middleweight title. His 46 and one record, including included 43 knockouts and the destruction of Herah Graham had already given him one of boxing most frightening stoppages. Seven years younger, Mackellan arrayed from Emmanuel stewards Crank Jim with a 27 and two record and 26 knockouts. The challenger attacked with speed, aggression and the confidence of a fighter who did not expect his opponents to

survive long. This was more than a meeting of knockout artists. Jackson had to prove that his experience and single punch power remained enough to stop a younger destroyer. Mackellan needed to show that his quick victories had prepared him for a champion who punched harder than anyone he had faced. Wow. But you know something after two after four rounds, two judges had Jackson leading 38 37. While the third had to fight even at 30 38. Two low punches from Jackson interrupted the fifth. Mackellan went down after the second received time to recover given the champion a brief pause after several physically punishing rounds. The break had the opposite effect. Once Mills layman, you know, Miss Laywell, we're feeling this fight man. We started the fight. Mackellan drove a right into Jackson's head and followed with left hooks that sent the champion on to his back.

Jackson somehow rose, but his bloody face and unstable legs showed how badly he had been shaken. Another attack dropped in my second time. Lane stopped the fight at two or nine without a low in Jackson. Another chance to continue. They'll stop it. Listen to this right. The stoppage earned the ring magazines in 1993, knockout of the year award. Wow. Yeah, yeah, June was really bloody. My time is up my suit. I have drawn sharp punch. Too much to do that. You address with a way that would end it does not mean. I don't know. And you know, but that fight really hurt me and made it a bad bad day for me. Okay, I superstition. It is when my mother died. Me it is in June and knockout. And me it's something has happened to me right after. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I'm not. I know what I want. Me not me not with me. Me not Julian and that co-hosted.

And CBS. And the way when you're going down when you hit in the part side level. The don't either don't score national TV. They had a there's some other articles here that said Julian Jackson flattened Busta Dretton with the brutal title knockout. And they also said Julian the heart Jackson had dynamite in both hands. Hmm. Yeah, man. June was very good. June got stuck. Julian made a way. Yeah, I'm I'm dominating. I'm dominating. Yeah. Yeah, the right way enough to push him up because nobody could have beaten that way. And they were trying to out and they were thinking what money fights as well. That's why I think about you. We take a break. Yeah, but we take a break and come back right after this great conversation. Be back right after this.
