The DOD45 Show Ep 128: Cas One & Tai’s Pe’a Journey (Part 3 of 3)
The final chapter. My last day of tapping, my samaga… and the part where I thought I might not make it home from Samoa.
We pick up mid leg day, with a tourist asking the question everybody asks: does it hurt? From there it’s the inside of my legs, the belly button, the ceremony & a whole lot of post tattoo drama. Cas One is ridin’ shotgun to the finish line.
In Part 3:
– The fever shakes & the “we’re almost done” that wasn’t
– Passin’ out in the hotel bathroom at 3am… and Ade’s legendary bedside manner
– Leg day 2 with a hungover tufuga
– The last tap, with my son Soul stretching the skin
– Our samaga: turmeric & coconut oil, an egg cracked over my head & a siva I barely survived
– A swollen leg, the word “blood clot” & a Samoan hospital at night
– My answer to my brother’s question from Part 1: why?
– My advice for anyone considering their own pe’a
– Sage Francis checks in with a question that hit deep… and then had us in stitches
– Mr. Dibbs drops in with a question that brings it all full circle
– A quick fire round with Cas & 3 Dish questions
– “Karen O” off the 45 LP: Lazerbeak on the beat, Swell & Sentence of Metermaids, Cas One & DJ Zole on the cuts & the mix
Thank u to Cas One for riding shotgun through all 3 parts, to Sage Francis, Mr. Dibbs & Laura, and to Strange Famous Records, always.
