Ep 128: I Thought I Was Dying in Samoa After My Pe'a (Part 3 w/ Cas One)

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.
