Summary

This week on the pod, Seth and Josh welcome Ziggy Marley! Ziggy talks all about growing up in Kingston as the son of Bob Marley, what his father’s fame felt like during his childhood, and the family trips that shaped him: from modest weekends in the Jamaican countryside to traveling to Zimbabwe for the country’s 1980 independence celebration. He also shares stories about moving to Delaware for a year, experiencing snow for the first time, visiting Miami, and meeting half-siblings during rides in the family’s yellow VW. Plus, Ziggy also chats about his upcoming studio album "Brightside," out now!

0:00.0	Hey, tripsters, Pashi here. Solo intro today because Sufi is traveling. His brother-in-law
0:07.2	actually just made this documentary, I think, series about Rafa Nadal. So he has gone to the
0:13.9	premiere of that, which is very cool. Zach Heiserling, is that dude's name. Who's a great
0:19.8	documentary filmmaker.
0:21.9	I'm going to try to be less grumpy
0:24.0	because the last time I did one of these solo intros,
0:26.3	I got pegged as being a Karen about a couple things.
0:30.7	So I'm just trying to keep it a bit lighter.
0:32.7	Although I will say, last night, 245 in the morning,
0:44.0	we have a smoke detector in our bedroom. And it started chirping. And it would beep three times and then it would say, clean, the alarm. And then it would be
0:50.3	quiet for about 30 seconds. And then it would beep again and go, clean the alarm. And it was very frustrating. I had to go get this little stool out of the closet stand up. I do have compressed air. I'm proud of myself for that because Mackenzie, my wife, was looking online at how does one clean this alarm. So I sprayed
1:14.3	it with that, no luck, kept chirping. The dogs, we have a very old dog who was starting to shake.
1:20.9	There's a button that said test, and I felt like if I hit that, it was going to just set off the
1:25.9	full-on alarm, so I was afraid of that.
1:29.7	Eventually, the solution was I had to go all the way down to the garage, get a full-on ladder,
1:35.9	come back up, kill the power, and physically remove the smoke detector from the wall,
1:44.0	and then I put it under a bunch of pillows on the couch.
1:47.0	And I'm just seeing this morning. I was trying to see what was going on when I was up on that ladder and
1:54.0	trying to see if there was anything else I could try. And because it was the middle of the night in 2.45 and I was a bit rocked, totally out of a dead sleep.
2:03.3	I put my phone in my mouth to hold it and I cracked my phone screen with my teeth.
2:10.7	And I'm just seeing that right now.
2:12.4	So I'm frustrated by that.
