was a shocking that she called mein the morning, and my oldest daughter,
Trinity, Trinity Destiny, and shehad talked Me's like, what's up

so i can move in with mypartner and just you know, we'll stay
together. But I still get mybag off of this, and I'm like,
very proud. I was so proud, and just you knew because I
don't. That's something I didn't tellher to do. That part, right,
And when your kids do that,you you don't that you would hope
they do, but you don't eveneven you ain't even mentioning it, and
they're just doing it off tops likeone of the best feelings as a parent,
(02:40):
I feel. But I feel likeyou are telling her though right,
like you might not be with words, sitting her down and being like,
ABCD, this how you do things. She sees how you rock, like
all of us see how you rock. And a lot of times it's what
you do rather than what you say. And modeling a minor five and three
and this I tell Drina this alltime. This was the biggest mirror check
(03:00):
I could have ever got. I'mlike, oh my god, I gotta
start rolling my eyes because little thingslike that, they see me doing it
all the time, and they youknow, so you know, you might
be saying, hey, I neversaid this to her, but you you,
you've shown her and that right there. Let's let's give you some flowers
right there, because Pops, youshowing her the way, little mama like
out here like hold on, Igotta figure out a way to make some
(03:22):
some extra buddy. Yes, itwas very impressive. Um, I'm proud
of all all the babies. Man. I got Leilanie, she's eighteen,
just graduating in high school senior thisyear. And then I got Keyani.
We just I know y'all always knowher because I was talking about Keyannie's ain't
the leaving my little ones Keani birthdayand then the twins their birthday July four.
So what I do was involved allthree of the little ones birthday party
(03:45):
together just because I don't know howto holler. All the preparings of the
school, you know, how theygo, how you summer. I'm not
I don't know your name and whatyou look like, your email the wolf,
But all the parents out there alwaysutilize your teachers. They are they're
you're also your partner and you feelyour yeah, you know what I mean,
and the friends you feel me ofthe students, you know what I
(04:08):
mean. So, yeah, awhole different game now because when we were
younger, used to get an invitation, right, a little birthday party invitation.
No one does that anymore. Sonow you gotta get like you said,
get creative. But that's smart.Utilize the teachers because they're the ones
who are gonna be able to spreadall You know how many parents numbers that
(04:29):
have my phone that are that areput by the kid's name, and it'll
say the kid's dad, Like Ihave to think this only way sometimes yea,
with some kind of description. Yeahthe kids, Hey, you know
what I mean, And it's right, you know what I mean? Yeah,
yeah, yeah, But we alsodid the physical ones, just or
at least the kids, because mykids are grafi. They all like to
(04:49):
draw graffiti, so they like badetheir own custom ones too, So yeah,
I keep them, I keep themactive, you know what I mean.
Try to like less, you knowwhat I mean, try to be
more out side and inside, youknow, especially with the art stuff.
Yeah, and speaking of you know, the art stuff and just being uplifting
to the youth. I mean,aside from like the for private business,
(05:10):
you got some nonprivate stuff too,you got going on. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, So I tapped it withmy sisters out there in the town
and what we're doing, y'all knowhow helped launch Beachmobile with Marshawn Lynch.
Been many moons rocking with it.You know, we're still a startup.
We're still start a phase. Butwhat we haven't been able to connect with
is um we have access now towhere we could get help with families that
(05:31):
qualify to get your free tablet andas well you get unlimited service when you
have this. You just look atit as like it's an amenity that you
that you qualify for. Some peoplearen't really educated and aware that they do
have this. So what what wewant to do is like we're pulling up.
We're pulling up to the schools.We're gonna start where Garfield when in
(05:51):
August when they start doing the signups, and we're collaboring with the schools
and basically letting the parents know,Hey you, I'm pretty sure you qualify
for this. Let's let's get you. Let's get you locked in and if
you do, will have a tableton site. Here you go. Now
your kid maybe don't have a tablet, so here now you know they don't
have to be on your phone andsharing phones. And also you know what
(06:12):
I mean, it's just gonna helpkeep kids productive for schoolwork as well.
You know what I mean, keepthem, keep them out that mess.
Right, And I think we allgot that rude awakening once the pandemic.
Kid was like, whoa, Noteverybody has a device? Not everybody you
know has one per child, right, because that makes a difference too.
Um, it's a lot right onthe nail. That's the reason why this
(06:33):
program started. It's actually also agovernment assistant program. But it's just like
I said, that people are notaware. They don't know that. They
only know they qualifier. You know, everyone knows they qualified for EBT R
snap, right, but you didn'tknow if you as you can get a
free tablet. You know what I'msaying with AT and T, like,
let's get it the one you muswill get the thing to come with it.
(06:55):
So that's why we're here. We'regonna start doing a school after school
through Oakland and hopefully it could spreadall through the Bay and everybody could get
theirs right right. You know,the thing about it is is closed miles
don't get fed. But at thesame time, like it's a lot of
people in positions that could be saying, hey, you had access to this,
and that's why I'm I'm really happythat you and the team are saying,
(07:16):
you know what for the schools wherethey don't have somebody advocating for these
families, we're gonna be here toremind you you got access to this,
this, and this. So that'sdope, I really and if there's anything
we can be doing to help youguys kind of put the messaging out there
is you know, it's it's it'syou know, come on, now you
go. You gotta do its textpop ups that are like outside of the
elementary schools, we'll be doing onelike out there as amount of gardens where
(07:39):
the food truck's at and just doinglike a back to school celebration where it'll
be that'll be the main narrative,like hey, let's see if you qualify
for this while you walk in here. Also, we have all these other
amenities for you sinces back to school. What if you need supplies, where
you need a haircut, we havea barber we have a barbershop in the
back. You know what. Iwant to also want to showcase. I
want to show case tools like howdid DJ? How did do you know
(08:03):
what I mean? Editing and videohow. I want to have these stations
set up in our little area inthe barn so the kids could like,
hey, what's pro tools? Isaw that that's what your rappers used to
make music? Or what's this jang? And just kind of give them inspiration
and hope on an art level.So then they're also thinking about what they
want to do when they grow up. And that's the key to it.
Yeah, that's the key to itright there, Just giving people access to
(08:24):
these different outlets, because nine timesout of ten, a lot of the
messiness we're seeing in the streets andof the acting out is because folks don't
have another outlet. If you havean outlet, you have somebody guide you.
Yep, exactly, Sorry to cutyou off, but they're not inspired,
you know what I'm saying. There'sno hope, right, and then
I'm all about just trying to youknow, not withhold wisdom. You know
(08:46):
what I mean, we can't doit. We can't withhold wisdom. My
lady put me onto that. Sheright here, but in shout to Ina
Soul, she's my gardener. Sheregarding me. You know what I'm saying,
give me the right nutrients to letme know, like you can't with
whole wisdom. You feel me.You got that shared right, and once
you learn something, you you theway you show that you've learned it is
(09:07):
to be able to teach it tosomebody else. So that's a beautiful thing
right there. And shout out toyour boot because you were talking about that
a little bit. As far aslike what she's doing with the jewelry line,
I mean that right there is likewhat we need to have in a
solo too. Yeah. Yeah,but to get through June and you get
all the dads and let's do it. Yeah, I'd love to connect the
(09:28):
dots. What she's doing is reallydope, you know what I'm saying,
Especially putting off for the culture andthen actually educating, you know, like
you gotta know where you really camefrom you know what I'm saying. People
have an idea, but they don't. You got to really know really what
your ancestors was Rocket with, youknow what I mean. That's what she's
doing with Ena Salt, and onehundred thousand million percent support it. So
I want to know if we can, if we can try to create some
(09:50):
partnership with one of these gun buybackevents where we're taking the medals from those
guns and turning them into jewelry.Like that would be such a dope partnership
right there, like just you know, yeah for those that can't see.
No, he's throwing up the shockinglike let's make it happn Yes. So
(10:13):
I mean right now you're traveling,you're not you know, home home here
in the Bay Area. I meanit's probably because you got about thirteen different
businesses that you're juggling. Yeah,you know, I love to stay busy.
Uh you know, the grit don'tquit in my book, and I
just love to have multiple streams.I've been doing it for many moons.
Even when I was a rapper,you know, I was doing the music
(10:35):
thing, booking my own shows,then going to Raspudens to go sell my
mixtapes and collect the checks from Balanceand then go over sell Merchant Street.
You know what I mean, tothe T shirt to the hat store,
And that's just always been embedded inmy my wiggle, you know what I'm
talking about. And then as Ievolved and like started doing hosting and rubbing
elbows and became with this beast mobileside, I started understanding the whole corporate
(10:56):
level of like I could, Icould tap in and elbows with these with
these big dogs. I'm this iswhere I've belong And then I just kept
bringing my energy to everything that waslike like I really really fucked with and
I really believed in. And that'swhere I'm at right now. That's why
I have multiple streams because you know, partnerships is how you could really become
successful if it's something you believe innumber one, but number two like Muther's
(11:18):
gonna put in that work too.I can't be working around a lot of
lazy people is out there their theirtheir pocket watching. They want to suck
you drive your energy, you knowwhat I'm talking about, and they only
with you because they see you thatyou own. But I don't get down
like that. I want to workwith the people that I'm around is like,
really on that grit, don't quit. They believe in what everything that
(11:39):
we're all doing, and we allare unit. So yeah, you know,
I was moving by myself solo forso long that like you know,
I didn't really like I said,until like I would beat Mobile started seeing
how the corporate ship was working,and I was like, okay, I
could really I manifested myself to bea CEO for real, Like I started
putting that in my ig name andshit, and it really happened. So
I was just like, man,shit, you know the grid, don't
(12:01):
quit? What else can I Whatelse can I can't do? Because everything's
possible, not anything every possible.I have this daily conversation with my kids
all the time. It's like yourwords are so powerful, and I know
that's so cliche and whatever, butlike you really can be whatever you want
to be, Like you can reallytruly accomplishment and accomplish it, not just
(12:22):
because you're saying it though, butalso with the hard work, like you
said, behind it, but youcan do it, and your words are
so powerful and you can't manifest whatever. So I think that's an important message
that you're sharing because not enough peoplebelieve in themselves. Like that's really where
it starts, believing in yourself,putting in the word you said that you're
I'm the same way. My kidsknow what manifesting is. Manifesting is what
(12:46):
do you want to do? Now? Think about it? Write it down?
Now, let's keep saying that we'regonna do that, you know.
And then it's not a wish listenfrom a toys or whatever. No,
it's like what do you where?Oh, where do you want to travel?
What food do you want to try? I want to I want them
to sponge and soak up as muchthat they could get outside of their what
they have hands reached, because thenthey're gonna be unstoppable when they older,
(13:07):
because they're gonna you know what Imean, because that's how I was raised,
you know. So I'm just justI'm just doing it just how my
parents raised me. I'm doing thesame way. And I was blessed to
have that upbringing. So that's whyI am high and shout to my parents
for real. Yeah, and thenlucky you were wondering how why your daughter
made how your daughter made that movewithout you didn't even help her. But
look you've put it in the work. That was real humble of you,
(13:31):
though you try to be humble andbe like I don't you know, I'm
just proud. No, no,you did it. That's you. Really,
That's how my brain works, though, y'all. I'm not looking at
it like that unless I analyze itlate, like you know a way okay,
yeah, if I think about it. You know, all my kids
they be with me, and ify'all follow me on the social media's,
you'll know, like if we havean event anywhere you see me at any
of my concert like they like,here's here's an example. We have four
(13:54):
on five days, and they'd belike they've already been. The little ones
have been to enough events where theyknow what we're doing. You know,
okay, that gonna do? IfI do, I got great. You
could be on stage with me onthat one, but the other songs you
can't be on You feel me likethey know what's up with it? Right?
You know what? He like chill, But it came to a point
I want to show you the cliplater, like these kids was like really
they like once I told him,all right, we're doing I got grapes.
(14:16):
I'm not looking at them. I'mlooking at the crowd. I'm laser
focused. I'm making straight when thecrowd is happy. We're doing my nup
thing. And these little kids behindme just they're hitting a little sturdy and
singing I got grapes, and I'mlike, that's the stuff that like,
Man, that's what's up. Theapple. Don't fall too far from the
mango tree mine. You feel me? Come on. But I like the
fact that you that you you knowwhat I'm saying, Like you actually painted
(14:39):
it out for people, because allthey do see is you on the stage
having a good time, enjoying thatmoment. But the fact that you mentioned
look, it was just you grindingfor a while for a while, right,
And that's what people miss out on, is they they see the cashing
moment, or they see that momentwhere you get to buy your mom what
you've been working so hard to buy, but they forget that they there was
(15:00):
about five to seven to ten tofifty depending on who you are and how
much grind you actually have in yourbloodstream, right, because that depends on
how how how quickly you're gonna getthere. Too, is it's a lot
of you doing it on your ownand reminding yourself every day. This might
not be the answer or where I'mtrying to be, but I have to
get up and do it again tomorrow, and I can get beauty in the
(15:20):
process. And I think that's whatpeople just want, that instant gratification these
days because they see it, especiallyon social media. But like, there's
so much beauty in the process,and it is a process. To get
to where you wanna be. Yougotta put at the work and you gotta
be you gotta be half to hear. You got hungry, you know what
I mean. You gotta be greedywith this ship, with the hunger,
and then I mean, you gottahave an appetite for the sacrifice. You
(15:43):
know, you can't make no excusesif this is what you really want to
do. And this is from theCEOs out there to up and come in.
If you're young, you're old,It doesn't matter what fucking age you
are. I'm a young tender niat forty two. What to do and
I'm still doing you feel, youknow what I mean? Like, so
it doesn't matter. You just gottaknow that you always gotta be happy and
(16:04):
then it's just gonna float. It'sjust gonna fucking float. I'm over here
chuckling because you always call me outthere. But that right there just solidified
you're my culia only by a fewmonths. O, Bro, I've been
waiting, Bro, I've been waiting, he'd been showing up to him.
(16:25):
Its like I think, I think, And that's how we you know,
for folks say, you know,are not familiar with the Filipino culture.
That's the way you show respect,right, and our culture you need to
you need to respect your elders atall times. And I appreciate the respect
trust, But I'm like, Bro, I can't hold on a second.
I think you're my culia. Waita minute. He'd be like, you
(16:45):
know how it is. That's whatI la. This is you know,
it's all fam it's all love,and this this is you know, this
right here, this is the spaceto be, to be us right to
be parents, and to be youknow, all the thing things that we're
trying to accomplish in life while tryingto raise these little people into capable ones.
It's a lie, bro um.And and you know you mentioned something
(17:07):
earlier about folks being lazy or folksuh you know, wanted to soak up
all your energy. How do youstiff farm these people? How do you
get yourself out of these positions whereyour energy is being sucked? You know
what it is? You gotta justreally I treat it like boxing and fighting.
You gotta condition your body, yourmentals, and your your reaction.
You gotta condition your reactions. Sometimesyou're gonna get you're gonna react in a
(17:32):
certain way, and you're gonna thenyou'll learn from that and you'll know,
like you ain't gonna really do thatagain. You're gonna learn like certain reactions,
we're gonna trigger and whole other actionwords like fun. Now it's turning
into something hell a bit for noreason. So a lot of those people,
they know what's up with me.I've I've been are like those type
of people. I could just Ifeel it. I trust my death radar
on them, and I just knowhow to like not fuck with them.
(17:53):
You know everybody, you don't gotto fuck with everybody. You know what
I'm saying, And that's it.I mean, I'll have a block party
all day. I'll block block blockall day. You're thinking of I could
give a fuck because the audacity,y'all, the audacity you motherfucker's thing.
I'm supposed to be cool with youfor what because you'll you come in on
(18:15):
my poles or whatever? But whatif you do I don't like get damn
what if you with all these bullshit? What if you have some weird ass
tendencies? But just because you saidyou support me, it's like, but
where have you've been? Or what? I like too? Like, man,
motherfuckers come up the woodworks. Motherfuckers come up the wood works thing
and I owe him some meaning timelike but fucking like where was you?
(18:36):
Though? I've been putting in time, I've been doing this shit, but
now you have the audacity and thinklike nah, bro, like so what
are we doing? Like nah,no, no, no, no no,
and what what what if you're afux man for real? Like I
don't care about your feelings? Younever cared about minds? Next Yeah,
yeah, I'm trying to work onthat with I mean, my daughter was
(18:57):
little and she's still you know,she sees me because I'm a social butterfly,
right, Like I try to greetpeople, try to be respectful,
but I'm also trying to teach thatthat same like mentality of like you,
there's a way to thrive, butthen still like and be respectful to people,
but then still be like, ah, you gotta keep that over there.
Yeah, and then it's up tothem to be like if they're gonna
(19:18):
make it a thing or okay,good, you know, And now those
are the motherfuckers I can still probablylike I'll talk to you later down the
road of our journey. Right.Oh fucking I'm not with this shit like
chill and yeah, it's annoyance,fuck, especially with all the little avenues
that I'm in, especially like especiallyin the cannabis, Oh my god,
the weekend. Imagine, it's somotherfucking like Bro, everybody thinks you're supposed
(19:45):
to do this and that for them, like for what I remember. I
remember Bro when he was doing music. I remember, and I'm like,
I don't actually remember Bra. Iwas a it will be like, so
now you want to remind me fifteenyears later, like did you see ship
booming? Man? I bad?And that's why I like to move so
much, and I like to actuallybe outside and explore. And I always
tell my kids this, and yousee it on the UA. Man,
(20:07):
we travel, you know, yougot outside, And I mean, I'm
not like to like break your bank. But if you can do it,
do it. And if even ifit's something to get out your little bubble
of your home. And then likelike, for example, we go to
every fucking park, like I know, I mean, like, ain't no
wrong, it's gonna be outside,letting them me, letting them be how
we grew up type shit right,there's not enough for that anymore. Would
(20:33):
you say what'd you say? No, you can just see outside? And
we would. Yeah, the distractionsfuck up a lot of shit. And
then the potential I feel, youknow, no, it does. That's
real. That's real. I mean, if you're I remember, because you
know, we grew up around thetime where they had these these shows on
(20:53):
MTV where it was like you werelooking into other people's lives, right,
like these documentaries of true life anddocumentaries a real world, and so it
got to the point where you're like, you're looking at other people's lives on
its how I remember my dad beinglike, why are you watching this crib
stuff? You know, you're overhere looking at how great their life is.
You need to be working on makingyour life great. And I was
like, oh, that's exactly whyI need to hear like he stopped me
(21:15):
dead in my tracks. And that'swhat, like you said, with your
kids, it's like my kids rightnow, Like we don't just go to
the neighborhood parked this up the street, like I try to take them to.
Yeah, and I and I'll beon there looking at little mom blogs
and this and the other, becausethere's hidden parks all over the place.
I've turned, I've made a wrongturn and been like what this wasn't even
on the map. And they're gettingexposed to other kids or getting exposed to
(21:41):
other you know, neighborhoods and justyou know, just trying different things.
And that's the way to do it. So with that being said, I
mean, you know you're exposing yourkids all different types of cultures too.
I mean not just with the businessesthat you're in, but also in the
culinary space too, because now you'rejust dipping all into the culinary space.
Talk to the people about that,yeah, y'all. Also, um,
(22:04):
I'm currently at mon Our Guardiens.We're right next to Costco. You may
remember it as a Soma Soma foodtruck space, remember right under the free
right good old days right before poppingright. This is cool. So that's
an event space. It had itsit had its little wiggle, you know
(22:26):
what I mean, during COVID andthen so mind our Gardiens is now us
doing this thing over there. Iactually work with them to help books book
events there as well. So ifanyone out there, you have your company,
want to have like a cool outsidevibe an event you're based in the
city, if you're not whatever,but you want to have a cool outside
vibe with DJs or whatever. Wehave the stage. You have hell of
shit going on. You have allwe have all the games for the kids.
(22:48):
It's all ages. If you wantedto be all ages like we've during
the winter we had like a snowmachine with the bubbles in the oo wopp
and hell of jumpers. So it'slike, we have hell of shit going
on over there. But what's goingwell with cracking over there? Our food
truck wash House forty two and it'sthe home of the motherfucking purple pinkle fried
sandwiches. And when I say purple, the bread is a Hawaiian taro,
(23:11):
freshly baked daily by chef Rudy bmy bro my body. And he's from
the Mish. He's a Michelin chef, but he you know, traveled the
globe doing this shit. But hewanted to come back to the Bay,
back to the city and do somedo some food truck ship how he would
do it. So he came withthe pink fried recipe, came with the
bread recipe, and then I helpedhim come with the we have a Numps
(23:33):
magic sauce and of course it's purple, you know what I'm saying. And
the magic sauce is though, becausewe put on anything and they make it
just make it taste so good likemat. But yeah, we got we
got the chicken sandwiches, we gotthe pork sandwiches, we got the eggplant.
Every now and then we do thefried smack and cheese and it's a
(23:55):
it's a play like Motheruckers would bepulling up yo. It's starting to get
it's starting to go viral. It'sorganically happening. And we have the most
we have the best parking in thecity, I feel right now to Costco.
That's what sup. That's what sup. That's what I like to hear
is the fact that you're you knowwhat I'm saying, like, what do
you say? What do you say? I like to hear parking in the
city. Yes, okay, thaton top of what I was about to
(24:21):
say, the fact that you're thatyou're taking these ideas right, and you're
taking them to a level where it'slike it's it's tangible now, right.
Uh you got this your friend that'sa chef that it was like, look,
I want to switch it up andbringing it back home to the Bay
Area has got to feel good,right. This is this is where we
this is where we were born andraised. Right. Um, For people
(24:45):
that are like, look, Iwant to start somewhere, right because you
you obviously are dabbling in a wholenumber of industries, right, but you
want to start somewhere. What you'redoing is just not giving you purpose or
hope on a daily What would yousuggest somebody do if they're trying to reinvigorate
right themselves and figure out where theyshould really be at. I think they
(25:07):
gotta just really do see what reallymakes them happy, you know what I'm
saying. That's number one? Anddon't you figure that out out? You
good? You know what I mean? You're gonna have it all. There's
like so many things that come withit, but the main thing is,
like what is gonna make me happy? And then what's gonna you know,
what could I see myself doing forever? Is the real plague? And then
(25:30):
I think the other question too,is for parents, right, because you
know, I think a lot ofmoms and dads get to a point where
they're like, Okay, I knowI'm not happy, but I kind of
just have to thug it out becauseI got to provide for these babies.
How do you how do you thensay this doesn't make me happy, but
I gotta take a risk on this, but then still be able to bring
stuff home for the babes. Youknow what it is? Write it all
(25:52):
down, write all that shit down, organize it. It's a tool that
we learned in school, and Ibrought it back to back and dude,
I journal every day. I'm gonnakeep it trill. I've been starting to
speak about that a lot. IsI wake up every day and after the
kids get dropped off at schools.Let me pick the scenario so y'all know,
and you might even correlate parents outthere. I wake up, of
course, we don't check the emailsand shit, real quick, the how
(26:15):
many alarms y'all said? I saidat least twenty. It's all every incidents
of two. And it's right,y'all can relate to that ship making.
It was just me, okay,cool, all right, kids are get
eating, they're dressed. I'm goingthrough whatever schedule I gotta go through.
But I'm really only focused on thekids because I don't want to forget nothing.
I get them dropped off at school. For me, I hit a
little bit of my my tree.I'm on the way to get some coffee,
(26:37):
and I focus on my fucking mymy calendar, my journal, and
like I'm writing down whatever plays Igotta do with me. You know,
I'm just getting that shit locked in, you know what I mean. If
I don't do that, I feellike I'm sloppy and I'm like freestyle and
for the rest of my day,just because that's what I was so used
to doing for my whole career,as as you know, numb Trump the
rapper, you know what I mean. So now that I'm on this whole
(26:57):
other, you know, level ofmy lifestyle, it's like, if I
don't do that, it just itdoesn't feel right. And then what I've
noticed the outcome was like I juststarted getting more shit done so if you
guys can, just if anyone outthere is struggling and saying like I don't
got no time for this and Ican't do it, Like no, there's
no can't you can, but yougotta like just schedule it out. Just
(27:18):
no, I gotta get the kidsat this time. So let me feel
this shit and use these forty fiveminutes to focus on my passion and then
go back to it whenever I gotyou know what I mean. It's just
if you do it like that,it'll get done. It's like a grocery
list. You feel me knock thatshit off and feel good getting shit done.
I don't know about y'all with thatchecking things off the list. It's
so gratifying. There's more power inwriting it down too. They say,
(27:44):
like you got a goal or likeyou want something, you want something writing
it down right to think about it, Like, can't just manifest that,
you gotta write it down. AndI'm trying so hard to be in twenty
twenty three and be digital and putit on my phone and use this.
I'm like, no, no,I need to physically write that it's down.
I need to check it off.I need to put a like a
highlight on the good one on thebig ones. Hello, look if I
(28:07):
show you my little stack right here, yeah, right now, dollar store.
So don't feel okay, right right, look, and you need to
fucking build. So if you're notusing your tools to build, and you're
using limited tools, well that's onyou. But good luck, I'm making
(28:30):
it successful. You smell me.Some of the simplest shit people just overlooked
because they see X y Z doingit so easy and now they're on yachts
and ship. Well, motherfucker's hadto go through this though, I promise
you. Yeah, I could tellyou. They probably had a wall with
a visual post it here there andwhatever, so a vision board and all
that stuff. Yeah. I haven'treally done the vision board yet. I
(28:55):
was working on one when I hada life coach, like ten plus years
ago. But it's more or oflike the daily ship for me really helps
a lot because then, like I'madding, I'm going like, say,
you get bored, you go throughthe old pages, You're like, oh
I forgot about that. Whoops.Then you start moving sit around, like
if you w on the phone app, it's hard to like really have that
screen. It looks so much thesame. They ain't no, you know
what I mean. Yeah, it'seasy to It's easy to get lost in
(29:21):
your list too. So stay focusedis what I'm gathering from nothing. It
focus. Like I said, Ilike, I like the weed. Hold
on, let me see, letme show y'all up, let me show
you. But those of y'all justlistening not getting the visual effects. He's
going into his his his treasure trove. So I use either the numps Lumpia
(29:42):
US in stores. Now we havea morning, noon and night right Sativa
Hybrid Indica from morning, noon ornight Lumpia, which is a one grand
rosin infuse cone, very affordable skewat the stores. And I promise you
one of the best tasting pre rolesyou'll get because of the rising I mean,
um, but if you're not inthat, if you're not into that,
(30:03):
right, you don't have to beinto that. Oh you're into that?
Cool? How about you down there? Good roll into that. You're
in the trip on it. Sothis is a new a new company.
I partnered up with this. I'mI'm I'm man. We're rocking, man,
look at this shit. So wehave the Lions Main, we have
the quarter steps, We also havethe resheet. These are all functional mushrooms.
(30:23):
So people get scared when I saymushrooms right and they're like, oh
my god, the bay. Youknow we've they've been doing the mushrooms a
lot. These ain't psychedelic. Thisis all wellness. So if you look
up later, some lions main orquarter steps m lins main basically helping get
blood flow oxygen to your brain.So using the one hundred percent functionality of
your brain. Not no, youknow, brain fog. I like to
(30:45):
call it thinking, thinking without anxiety. You're just getting done, you know
what I'm saying. You're just likeshit, You're not caring about dumb shit.
You're just it's just gonna it'll getyou there. The speed bump,
Oh, it's all good. Youran over speed on who cares? Like,
don't worry about your car. You'regood. You know, like little
shit or break like that sometimes andthen you lose that energy of you really
(31:06):
doing what you're supposed to be doing. And then I got the quarter STAPs.
This is more of like an energy. You use it for training,
working out, I mean if youwant right, even if you don't want
to, because it's a substitute forcoffee. But this is what our ancestors
use when they wanted to, youknow, get more energy, helps to
give oxygen through your blood and likeyou want that numb energy to both of
these things. So where you gota website or so many things like where
(31:33):
can we find this all? Yeah, Mind Body Supplements is us right there,
and then I'll send you the link. So you gotta have the proper
link for y'all. But Mind Bodysubs or the IG and yeah, if
you need it, I'll have samplesall day. I would love for everyone
to just try it, you know, you know how you know if you
don't go, how you know ifyou don't go, give it a try.
And what I promise you, ninetynine percent of the people I've gave
(31:55):
it gave samples to. I havebottened a bottle within a week. And
I'm not trying to bragg and beall like, I'm just saying it's super
I've been using months plus straight.I've never looked back. Um, I'll
be real, I don't drink alcoholno more. I just feel like I
don't need it, you know whatI'm saying, Like that is just like
came with it. The dtox itook a dtox before I did all this
(32:15):
shit, and like, I justhow the feeling of the detox. It
kind of just put me in aspace like okay, you know, like
an oil change, like you know, like cleaning your house. I kind
of felt like that happened with me. And then all of a sudden,
I took started taking knees. Iwas already I was already a partner.
I had these in my house,and I was like, fuck, let
me just try this shit now becauseI was feeling healthier right right, never
(32:38):
looked back, and you know whatI mean, You're just it feels clean
to be clean. I get reallylike you don't do clean well, and
I'm sure it makes you more,you know, more present in your role
as a dad, as a partner, as you know, like in your
businesses. So yeah, and forreal though, like well you know that's
(32:59):
why they feel. You know,that shit is toxic man, because you
get intoxicated. So you gotta likethink there's a timing place for everything real
shit. And I like how yousaid as a as a dad, because
like you know, we we youknow, we're gonna have our fun,
but then there's a time to cutthat shit. Out and I trust me.
I see a lot of motherfuckers thatdon't understand that shit. Yeah,
(33:21):
it seems like a simple concept,but it takes a lot to flip that
switch. Like yeah, like westill you can still be hYP You don't
gotta wake up up either, rightyou feel Hello? You have y'all some
lions, Lions, main Lions,Maine on my mama, But I have
to with some of the psychedelics andthat's cool for if you have a space
(33:43):
to do it. And also themicro docne that ship to cool vibe,
you know what I mean. Um, you know what I mean. Just
shows everyone's it's just to each hisown, you know what I mean.
But yeah, these ones right here, I promise you I'm gonna get y'all
something when as soon as I'm back. That's what's up. Because you said
one word that brain fog. Let'sget rid of all of that. Please
think thinking without anxiety about the speedbumps. Man, I'd be stopping all
(34:07):
day, thank you. Yeah,it makes you concern with like you want
to trip off that street, Butyou gotta like think like that in order
to get like that. So well, we're excited to have you as one
of the first dads on this.Mama got drama. Hey, and this
this won't be the last either.I appreciate it. Man, No,
(34:29):
I'm excited. I love chopping itup, especially you know me and Lady
Ray always whenever we connect in personis just like a real family vibe.
Where have I seen dream of before? I know that name Day is a
legend and radio legend. She's ano, let me say it, she's
she's a wild nighty for nine.But she's also on a number of iHeart
(34:51):
radio stations nationally. So she andI both, um, you know,
just just being radio mom. Sayyou know what, let's put this together
and put both of our our teamtogether and make this happen. Yes,
yeah, So how long I've beendoing this for? Uh, you know,
we're right around that giving birth phase, so we're about a year and
a half and you know probably butyou know, we're moms, so this
(35:12):
is like, this is like beingable to balance our schedules to actually come
together and do this is like,Okay, we gotta give ourselves a pad
on the bank because it's a lot. I really love the message. I
love that you're also promoting like uh, ceo women, you know, what
I'm saying independent women that like areon that because that's something that's got to
get more light on, and especiallywe come up out of and with the
(35:37):
Bay, but also like everywhere,you know what I'm saying, like,
yeah, yeah, there's a lotof there's a lot of women bosses out
there, and y'all giving them aplatform, especially moms and now not ads
get they shine on on your show, like let's go, let's go.
Need we don't Yeah, we needthis. Yeah, I appreciate. I
appreciate you saying that. I thinkwe're at a point now where we've been.
(35:59):
We've been kind of nurturing this asa baby and kind of you know,
letting it grow, and we're atthe point now where we're like,
you know what, let's let's letthis baby start running and have its own
legs. So any moms that youyou know, have that you're like,
you know what, this mom needsa little shine, make sure to sitting
in our way because we want togive them their flowers. Because you know,
I don't know if you guys seenit recently, but there was a
mom who was on she's a reporter, and you know, these school shootings
(36:22):
are becoming normalized sadly right, andshe was reporting and her son was actually
in the school while the shooting washappening. Some if you guys saw this,
but there's a clip where she's reportinglive and she literally has to stay
professional while she's reporting while getting reunitedwith her own child. And it just
in that moment, I'm giving myselfchills as I'm talking about it, because
(36:45):
in that moment, it signified somuch for us working moms because she had
to a say professional, but shealso needed that moment to be like relieve,
like my baby's okay, you knowwhat I'm saying, and then you
know, snap back into it becauseas a mom, she also has a
responsibility to report what's going on sothe other moms and the other parents that
don't know where their children are canget an update. And I felt all
(37:07):
of that in the five seconds youknow that she was on TV. I
felt all of that. And usworking moms, you know, we don't
talk about this stuff. We don'ttalk about having a breastfeed at work or
I'm a pump at work. Wedon't talk about having to leave our baby
at six weeks so that we cango back, so that we can make
sure we can make the right careermoves to get to the next spot so
(37:28):
that we can pay for their collegeby the time they get there. So,
you know, I say all thatto say, you know, let's
let's keep giving these flowers. Let'skeep champion championing our moms, and let's
give love to the Zaddi's and thepops that are out here doing work and
supporting us so that we can bethe best moms we can be. Too.

not playing about that idea about forsure. Yeah. I love to hear
love to you and too. Maybeat the food truck. I've been trying
to have y'all get that just onour schedules never really connect. But I
would love to have you guys triedwhile I'm there fresh and we could just

(01:32):
kids are doing right now? Um? Well, I just talked to my
oldest daughter, I mean out inHawaii right now. So it was it
was a shocking that she called mein the morning, and my oldest daughter,
Trinity, Trinity Destiny, and shehad talked Me's like, what's up
dad? You know we'd be choppingit up normal because you older now,
you know, when you have thetwenty in their twenties, you don't talk
to different relationship. Yeah you youyou're very talking like adults, you know
(01:56):
what I mean, and on somereal adults stuff. So really she had
hit me up and I was like, hey, what's up, dad,
I'm actually gonna move with my bestfriend to her apartment because she broke up
with her boyfriend. And I'm aboutto sub I'm about to sublet or sublease
my apartment. And I said,hold on, daughter, daughter, you

twenty two, I hear my daughtersaying, I'm just subleasing my apartment out
(02:19):
so i can move in with mypartner and just you know, we'll stay
together. But I still get mybag off of this, and I'm like,
very proud. I was so proud, and just you knew because I
don't. That's something I didn't tellher to do. That part, right,
And when your kids do that,you you don't that you would hope
they do, but you don't eveneven you ain't even mentioning it, and
they're just doing it off tops likeone of the best feelings as a parent,
(02:40):
I feel. But I feel likeyou are telling her though right,
like you might not be with words, sitting her down and being like,
ABCD, this how you do things. She sees how you rock, like
all of us see how you rock. And a lot of times it's what
you do rather than what you say. And modeling a minor five and three
and this I tell Drina this alltime. This was the biggest mirror check
(03:00):
I could have ever got. I'mlike, oh my god, I gotta
start rolling my eyes because little thingslike that, they see me doing it
all the time, and they youknow, so you know, you might
be saying, hey, I neversaid this to her, but you you,
you've shown her and that right there. Let's let's give you some flowers
right there, because Pops, youshowing her the way, little mama like
out here like hold on, Igotta figure out a way to make some
(03:22):
some extra buddy. Yes, itwas very impressive. Um, I'm proud
of all all the babies. Man. I got Leilanie, she's eighteen,
just graduating in high school senior thisyear. And then I got Keyani.
We just I know y'all always knowher because I was talking about Keyannie's ain't
the leaving my little ones Keani birthdayand then the twins their birthday July four.
So what I do was involved allthree of the little ones birthday party
(03:45):
together just because I don't know howto holler. All the preparings of the
school, you know, how theygo, how you summer. I'm not
I don't know your name and whatyou look like, your email the wolf,
But all the parents out there alwaysutilize your teachers. They are they're
you're also your partner and you feelyour yeah, you know what I mean,
and the friends you feel me ofthe students, you know what I
(04:08):
mean. So, yeah, awhole different game now because when we were
younger, used to get an invitation, right, a little birthday party invitation.
No one does that anymore. Sonow you gotta get like you said,
get creative. But that's smart.Utilize the teachers because they're the ones
who are gonna be able to spreadall You know how many parents numbers that
(04:29):
have my phone that are that areput by the kid's name, and it'll
say the kid's dad, Like Ihave to think this only way sometimes yea,
with some kind of description. Yeahthe kids, Hey, you know
what I mean, And it's right, you know what I mean? Yeah,
yeah, yeah, But we alsodid the physical ones, just or
at least the kids, because mykids are grafi. They all like to
(04:49):
draw graffiti, so they like badetheir own custom ones too, So yeah,
I keep them, I keep themactive, you know what I mean.
Try to like less, you knowwhat I mean, try to be
more out side and inside, youknow, especially with the art stuff.
Yeah, and speaking of you know, the art stuff and just being uplifting
to the youth. I mean,aside from like the for private business,
(05:10):
you got some nonprivate stuff too,you got going on. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, So I tapped it withmy sisters out there in the town
and what we're doing, y'all knowhow helped launch Beachmobile with Marshawn Lynch.
Been many moons rocking with it.You know, we're still a startup.
We're still start a phase. Butwhat we haven't been able to connect with
is um we have access now towhere we could get help with families that
(05:31):
qualify to get your free tablet andas well you get unlimited service when you
have this. You just look atit as like it's an amenity that you
that you qualify for. Some peoplearen't really educated and aware that they do
have this. So what what wewant to do is like we're pulling up.
We're pulling up to the schools.We're gonna start where Garfield when in
(05:51):
August when they start doing the signups, and we're collaboring with the schools
and basically letting the parents know,Hey you, I'm pretty sure you qualify
for this. Let's let's get you. Let's get you locked in and if
you do, will have a tableton site. Here you go. Now
your kid maybe don't have a tablet, so here now you know they don't
have to be on your phone andsharing phones. And also you know what
(06:12):
I mean, it's just gonna helpkeep kids productive for schoolwork as well.
You know what I mean, keepthem, keep them out that mess.
Right, And I think we allgot that rude awakening once the pandemic.
Kid was like, whoa, Noteverybody has a device? Not everybody you
know has one per child, right, because that makes a difference too.
Um, it's a lot right onthe nail. That's the reason why this
(06:33):
program started. It's actually also agovernment assistant program. But it's just like
I said, that people are notaware. They don't know that. They
only know they qualifier. You know, everyone knows they qualified for EBT R
snap, right, but you didn'tknow if you as you can get a
free tablet. You know what I'msaying with AT and T, like,
let's get it the one you muswill get the thing to come with it.
(06:55):
So that's why we're here. We'regonna start doing a school after school
through Oakland and hopefully it could spreadall through the Bay and everybody could get
theirs right right. You know,the thing about it is is closed miles
don't get fed. But at thesame time, like it's a lot of
people in positions that could be saying, hey, you had access to this,
and that's why I'm I'm really happythat you and the team are saying,
(07:16):
you know what for the schools wherethey don't have somebody advocating for these
families, we're gonna be here toremind you you got access to this,
this, and this. So that'sdope, I really and if there's anything
we can be doing to help youguys kind of put the messaging out there
is you know, it's it's it'syou know, come on, now you
go. You gotta do its textpop ups that are like outside of the
elementary schools, we'll be doing onelike out there as amount of gardens where
(07:39):
the food truck's at and just doinglike a back to school celebration where it'll
be that'll be the main narrative,like hey, let's see if you qualify
for this while you walk in here. Also, we have all these other
amenities for you sinces back to school. What if you need supplies, where
you need a haircut, we havea barber we have a barbershop in the
back. You know what. Iwant to also want to showcase. I
want to show case tools like howdid DJ? How did do you know
(08:03):
what I mean? Editing and videohow. I want to have these stations
set up in our little area inthe barn so the kids could like,
hey, what's pro tools? Isaw that that's what your rappers used to
make music? Or what's this jang? And just kind of give them inspiration
and hope on an art level.So then they're also thinking about what they
want to do when they grow up. And that's the key to it.
Yeah, that's the key to itright there, Just giving people access to
(08:24):
these different outlets, because nine timesout of ten, a lot of the
messiness we're seeing in the streets andof the acting out is because folks don't
have another outlet. If you havean outlet, you have somebody guide you.
Yep, exactly, Sorry to cutyou off, but they're not inspired,
you know what I'm saying. There'sno hope, right, and then
I'm all about just trying to youknow, not withhold wisdom. You know
(08:46):
what I mean, we can't doit. We can't withhold wisdom. My
lady put me onto that. Sheright here, but in shout to Ina
Soul, she's my gardener. Sheregarding me. You know what I'm saying,
give me the right nutrients to letme know, like you can't with
whole wisdom. You feel me.You got that shared right, and once
you learn something, you you theway you show that you've learned it is
(09:07):
to be able to teach it tosomebody else. So that's a beautiful thing
right there. And shout out toyour boot because you were talking about that
a little bit. As far aslike what she's doing with the jewelry line,
I mean that right there is likewhat we need to have in a
solo too. Yeah. Yeah,but to get through June and you get
all the dads and let's do it. Yeah, I'd love to connect the
(09:28):
dots. What she's doing is reallydope, you know what I'm saying,
Especially putting off for the culture andthen actually educating, you know, like
you gotta know where you really camefrom you know what I'm saying. People
have an idea, but they don't. You got to really know really what
your ancestors was Rocket with, youknow what I mean. That's what she's
doing with Ena Salt, and onehundred thousand million percent support it. So
I want to know if we can, if we can try to create some
(09:50):
partnership with one of these gun buybackevents where we're taking the medals from those
guns and turning them into jewelry.Like that would be such a dope partnership
right there, like just you know, yeah for those that can't see.
No, he's throwing up the shockinglike let's make it happn Yes. So
(10:13):
I mean right now you're traveling,you're not you know, home home here
in the Bay Area. I meanit's probably because you got about thirteen different
businesses that you're juggling. Yeah,you know, I love to stay busy.
Uh you know, the grit don'tquit in my book, and I
just love to have multiple streams.I've been doing it for many moons.
Even when I was a rapper,you know, I was doing the music
(10:35):
thing, booking my own shows,then going to Raspudens to go sell my
mixtapes and collect the checks from Balanceand then go over sell Merchant Street.
You know what I mean, tothe T shirt to the hat store,
And that's just always been embedded inmy my wiggle, you know what I'm
talking about. And then as Ievolved and like started doing hosting and rubbing
elbows and became with this beast mobileside, I started understanding the whole corporate
(10:56):
level of like I could, Icould tap in and elbows with these with
these big dogs. I'm this iswhere I've belong And then I just kept
bringing my energy to everything that waslike like I really really fucked with and
I really believed in. And that'swhere I'm at right now. That's why
I have multiple streams because you know, partnerships is how you could really become
successful if it's something you believe innumber one, but number two like Muther's
(11:18):
gonna put in that work too.I can't be working around a lot of
lazy people is out there their theirtheir pocket watching. They want to suck
you drive your energy, you knowwhat I'm talking about, and they only
with you because they see you thatyou own. But I don't get down
like that. I want to workwith the people that I'm around is like,
really on that grit, don't quit. They believe in what everything that
(11:39):
we're all doing, and we allare unit. So yeah, you know,
I was moving by myself solo forso long that like you know,
I didn't really like I said,until like I would beat Mobile started seeing
how the corporate ship was working,and I was like, okay, I
could really I manifested myself to bea CEO for real, Like I started
putting that in my ig name andshit, and it really happened. So
I was just like, man,shit, you know the grid, don't
(12:01):
quit? What else can I Whatelse can I can't do? Because everything's
possible, not anything every possible.I have this daily conversation with my kids
all the time. It's like yourwords are so powerful, and I know
that's so cliche and whatever, butlike you really can be whatever you want
to be, Like you can reallytruly accomplishment and accomplish it, not just
(12:22):
because you're saying it though, butalso with the hard work, like you
said, behind it, but youcan do it, and your words are
so powerful and you can't manifest whatever. So I think that's an important message
that you're sharing because not enough peoplebelieve in themselves. Like that's really where
it starts, believing in yourself,putting in the word you said that you're
I'm the same way. My kidsknow what manifesting is. Manifesting is what
(12:46):
do you want to do? Now? Think about it? Write it down?
Now, let's keep saying that we'regonna do that, you know.
And then it's not a wish listenfrom a toys or whatever. No,
it's like what do you where?Oh, where do you want to travel?
What food do you want to try? I want to I want them
to sponge and soak up as muchthat they could get outside of their what
they have hands reached, because thenthey're gonna be unstoppable when they older,
(13:07):
because they're gonna you know what Imean, because that's how I was raised,
you know. So I'm just justI'm just doing it just how my
parents raised me. I'm doing thesame way. And I was blessed to
have that upbringing. So that's whyI am high and shout to my parents
for real. Yeah, and thenlucky you were wondering how why your daughter
made how your daughter made that movewithout you didn't even help her. But
look you've put it in the work. That was real humble of you,
(13:31):
though you try to be humble andbe like I don't you know, I'm
just proud. No, no,you did it. That's you. Really,
That's how my brain works, though, y'all. I'm not looking at
it like that unless I analyze itlate, like you know a way okay,
yeah, if I think about it. You know, all my kids
they be with me, and ify'all follow me on the social media's,
you'll know, like if we havean event anywhere you see me at any
of my concert like they like,here's here's an example. We have four
(13:54):
on five days, and they'd belike they've already been. The little ones
have been to enough events where theyknow what we're doing. You know,
okay, that gonna do? IfI do, I got great. You
could be on stage with me onthat one, but the other songs you
can't be on You feel me likethey know what's up with it? Right?
You know what? He like chill, But it came to a point
I want to show you the cliplater, like these kids was like really
they like once I told him,all right, we're doing I got grapes.
(14:16):
I'm not looking at them. I'mlooking at the crowd. I'm laser
focused. I'm making straight when thecrowd is happy. We're doing my nup
thing. And these little kids behindme just they're hitting a little sturdy and
singing I got grapes, and I'mlike, that's the stuff that like,
Man, that's what's up. Theapple. Don't fall too far from the
mango tree mine. You feel me? Come on. But I like the
fact that you that you you knowwhat I'm saying, Like you actually painted
(14:39):
it out for people, because allthey do see is you on the stage
having a good time, enjoying thatmoment. But the fact that you mentioned
look, it was just you grindingfor a while for a while, right,
And that's what people miss out on, is they they see the cashing
moment, or they see that momentwhere you get to buy your mom what
you've been working so hard to buy, but they forget that they there was
(15:00):
about five to seven to ten tofifty depending on who you are and how
much grind you actually have in yourbloodstream, right, because that depends on
how how how quickly you're gonna getthere. Too, is it's a lot
of you doing it on your ownand reminding yourself every day. This might
not be the answer or where I'mtrying to be, but I have to
get up and do it again tomorrow, and I can get beauty in the
(15:20):
process. And I think that's whatpeople just want, that instant gratification these
days because they see it, especiallyon social media. But like, there's
so much beauty in the process,and it is a process. To get
to where you wanna be. Yougotta put at the work and you gotta
be you gotta be half to hear. You got hungry, you know what
I mean. You gotta be greedywith this ship, with the hunger,
and then I mean, you gottahave an appetite for the sacrifice. You
(15:43):
know, you can't make no excusesif this is what you really want to
do. And this is from theCEOs out there to up and come in.
If you're young, you're old,It doesn't matter what fucking age you
are. I'm a young tender niat forty two. What to do and
I'm still doing you feel, youknow what I mean? Like, so
it doesn't matter. You just gottaknow that you always gotta be happy and
(16:04):
then it's just gonna float. It'sjust gonna fucking float. I'm over here
chuckling because you always call me outthere. But that right there just solidified
you're my culia only by a fewmonths. O, Bro, I've been
waiting, Bro, I've been waiting, he'd been showing up to him.
(16:25):
Its like I think, I think, And that's how we you know,
for folks say, you know,are not familiar with the Filipino culture.
That's the way you show respect,right, and our culture you need to
you need to respect your elders atall times. And I appreciate the respect
trust, But I'm like, Bro, I can't hold on a second.
I think you're my culia. Waita minute. He'd be like, you
(16:45):
know how it is. That's whatI la. This is you know,
it's all fam it's all love,and this this is you know, this
right here, this is the spaceto be, to be us right to
be parents, and to be youknow, all the thing things that we're
trying to accomplish in life while tryingto raise these little people into capable ones.
It's a lie, bro um.And and you know you mentioned something
(17:07):
earlier about folks being lazy or folksuh you know, wanted to soak up
all your energy. How do youstiff farm these people? How do you
get yourself out of these positions whereyour energy is being sucked? You know
what it is? You gotta justreally I treat it like boxing and fighting.
You gotta condition your body, yourmentals, and your your reaction.
You gotta condition your reactions. Sometimesyou're gonna get you're gonna react in a
(17:32):
certain way, and you're gonna thenyou'll learn from that and you'll know,
like you ain't gonna really do thatagain. You're gonna learn like certain reactions,
we're gonna trigger and whole other actionwords like fun. Now it's turning
into something hell a bit for noreason. So a lot of those people,
they know what's up with me.I've I've been are like those type
of people. I could just Ifeel it. I trust my death radar
on them, and I just knowhow to like not fuck with them.
(17:53):
You know everybody, you don't gotto fuck with everybody. You know what
I'm saying, And that's it.I mean, I'll have a block party
all day. I'll block block blockall day. You're thinking of I could
give a fuck because the audacity,y'all, the audacity you motherfucker's thing.
I'm supposed to be cool with youfor what because you'll you come in on
(18:15):
my poles or whatever? But whatif you do I don't like get damn
what if you with all these bullshit? What if you have some weird ass
tendencies? But just because you saidyou support me, it's like, but
where have you've been? Or what? I like too? Like, man,
motherfuckers come up the woodworks. Motherfuckers come up the wood works thing
and I owe him some meaning timelike but fucking like where was you?
(18:36):
Though? I've been putting in time, I've been doing this shit, but
now you have the audacity and thinklike nah, bro, like so what
are we doing? Like nah,no, no, no, no no,
and what what what if you're afux man for real? Like I
don't care about your feelings? Younever cared about minds? Next Yeah,
yeah, I'm trying to work onthat with I mean, my daughter was
(18:57):
little and she's still you know,she sees me because I'm a social butterfly,
right, Like I try to greetpeople, try to be respectful,
but I'm also trying to teach thatthat same like mentality of like you,
there's a way to thrive, butthen still like and be respectful to people,
but then still be like, ah, you gotta keep that over there.
Yeah, and then it's up tothem to be like if they're gonna
(19:18):
make it a thing or okay,good, you know, And now those
are the motherfuckers I can still probablylike I'll talk to you later down the
road of our journey. Right.Oh fucking I'm not with this shit like
chill and yeah, it's annoyance,fuck, especially with all the little avenues
that I'm in, especially like especiallyin the cannabis, Oh my god,
the weekend. Imagine, it's somotherfucking like Bro, everybody thinks you're supposed
(19:45):
to do this and that for them, like for what I remember. I
remember Bro when he was doing music. I remember, and I'm like,
I don't actually remember Bra. Iwas a it will be like, so
now you want to remind me fifteenyears later, like did you see ship
booming? Man? I bad?And that's why I like to move so
much, and I like to actuallybe outside and explore. And I always
tell my kids this, and yousee it on the UA. Man,
(20:07):
we travel, you know, yougot outside, And I mean, I'm
not like to like break your bank. But if you can do it,
do it. And if even ifit's something to get out your little bubble
of your home. And then likelike, for example, we go to
every fucking park, like I know, I mean, like, ain't no
wrong, it's gonna be outside,letting them me, letting them be how
we grew up type shit right,there's not enough for that anymore. Would
(20:33):
you say what'd you say? No, you can just see outside? And
we would. Yeah, the distractionsfuck up a lot of shit. And
then the potential I feel, youknow, no, it does. That's
real. That's real. I mean, if you're I remember, because you
know, we grew up around thetime where they had these these shows on
(20:53):
MTV where it was like you werelooking into other people's lives, right,
like these documentaries of true life anddocumentaries a real world, and so it
got to the point where you're like, you're looking at other people's lives on
its how I remember my dad beinglike, why are you watching this crib
stuff? You know, you're overhere looking at how great their life is.
You need to be working on makingyour life great. And I was
like, oh, that's exactly whyI need to hear like he stopped me
(21:15):
dead in my tracks. And that'swhat, like you said, with your
kids, it's like my kids rightnow, Like we don't just go to
the neighborhood parked this up the street, like I try to take them to.
Yeah, and I and I'll beon there looking at little mom blogs
and this and the other, becausethere's hidden parks all over the place.
I've turned, I've made a wrongturn and been like what this wasn't even
on the map. And they're gettingexposed to other kids or getting exposed to
(21:41):
other you know, neighborhoods and justyou know, just trying different things.
And that's the way to do it. So with that being said, I
mean, you know you're exposing yourkids all different types of cultures too.
I mean not just with the businessesthat you're in, but also in the
culinary space too, because now you'rejust dipping all into the culinary space.
Talk to the people about that,yeah, y'all. Also, um,
(22:04):
I'm currently at mon Our Guardiens.We're right next to Costco. You may
remember it as a Soma Soma foodtruck space, remember right under the free
right good old days right before poppingright. This is cool. So that's
an event space. It had itsit had its little wiggle, you know
(22:26):
what I mean, during COVID andthen so mind our Gardiens is now us
doing this thing over there. Iactually work with them to help books book
events there as well. So ifanyone out there, you have your company,
want to have like a cool outsidevibe an event you're based in the
city, if you're not whatever,but you want to have a cool outside
vibe with DJs or whatever. Wehave the stage. You have hell of
shit going on. You have allwe have all the games for the kids.
(22:48):
It's all ages. If you wantedto be all ages like we've during
the winter we had like a snowmachine with the bubbles in the oo wopp
and hell of jumpers. So it'slike, we have hell of shit going
on over there. But what's goingwell with cracking over there? Our food
truck wash House forty two and it'sthe home of the motherfucking purple pinkle fried
sandwiches. And when I say purple, the bread is a Hawaiian taro,
(23:11):
freshly baked daily by chef Rudy bmy bro my body. And he's from
the Mish. He's a Michelin chef, but he you know, traveled the
globe doing this shit. But hewanted to come back to the Bay,
back to the city and do somedo some food truck ship how he would
do it. So he came withthe pink fried recipe, came with the
bread recipe, and then I helpedhim come with the we have a Numps
(23:33):
magic sauce and of course it's purple, you know what I'm saying. And
the magic sauce is though, becausewe put on anything and they make it
just make it taste so good likemat. But yeah, we got we
got the chicken sandwiches, we gotthe pork sandwiches, we got the eggplant.
Every now and then we do thefried smack and cheese and it's a
(23:55):
it's a play like Motheruckers would bepulling up yo. It's starting to get
it's starting to go viral. It'sorganically happening. And we have the most
we have the best parking in thecity, I feel right now to Costco.
That's what sup. That's what sup. That's what I like to hear
is the fact that you're you knowwhat I'm saying, like, what do
you say? What do you say? I like to hear parking in the
city. Yes, okay, thaton top of what I was about to
(24:21):
say, the fact that you're thatyou're taking these ideas right, and you're
taking them to a level where it'slike it's it's tangible now, right.
Uh you got this your friend that'sa chef that it was like, look,
I want to switch it up andbringing it back home to the Bay
Area has got to feel good,right. This is this is where we
this is where we were born andraised. Right. Um, For people
(24:45):
that are like, look, Iwant to start somewhere, right because you
you obviously are dabbling in a wholenumber of industries, right, but you
want to start somewhere. What you'redoing is just not giving you purpose or
hope on a daily What would yousuggest somebody do if they're trying to reinvigorate
right themselves and figure out where theyshould really be at. I think they
(25:07):
gotta just really do see what reallymakes them happy, you know what I'm
saying. That's number one? Anddon't you figure that out out? You
good? You know what I mean? You're gonna have it all. There's
like so many things that come withit, but the main thing is,
like what is gonna make me happy? And then what's gonna you know,
what could I see myself doing forever? Is the real plague? And then
(25:30):
I think the other question too,is for parents, right, because you
know, I think a lot ofmoms and dads get to a point where
they're like, Okay, I knowI'm not happy, but I kind of
just have to thug it out becauseI got to provide for these babies.
How do you how do you thensay this doesn't make me happy, but
I gotta take a risk on this, but then still be able to bring
stuff home for the babes. Youknow what it is? Write it all
(25:52):
down, write all that shit down, organize it. It's a tool that
we learned in school, and Ibrought it back to back and dude,
I journal every day. I'm gonnakeep it trill. I've been starting to
speak about that a lot. IsI wake up every day and after the
kids get dropped off at schools.Let me pick the scenario so y'all know,
and you might even correlate parents outthere. I wake up, of
course, we don't check the emailsand shit, real quick, the how
(26:15):
many alarms y'all said? I saidat least twenty. It's all every incidents
of two. And it's right,y'all can relate to that ship making.
It was just me, okay,cool, all right, kids are get
eating, they're dressed. I'm goingthrough whatever schedule I gotta go through.
But I'm really only focused on thekids because I don't want to forget nothing.
I get them dropped off at school. For me, I hit a
little bit of my my tree.I'm on the way to get some coffee,
(26:37):
and I focus on my fucking mymy calendar, my journal, and
like I'm writing down whatever plays Igotta do with me. You know,
I'm just getting that shit locked in, you know what I mean. If
I don't do that, I feellike I'm sloppy and I'm like freestyle and
for the rest of my day,just because that's what I was so used
to doing for my whole career,as as you know, numb Trump the
rapper, you know what I mean. So now that I'm on this whole
(26:57):
other, you know, level ofmy lifestyle, it's like, if I
don't do that, it just itdoesn't feel right. And then what I've
noticed the outcome was like I juststarted getting more shit done so if you
guys can, just if anyone outthere is struggling and saying like I don't
got no time for this and Ican't do it, Like no, there's
no can't you can, but yougotta like just schedule it out. Just
(27:18):
no, I gotta get the kidsat this time. So let me feel
this shit and use these forty fiveminutes to focus on my passion and then
go back to it whenever I gotyou know what I mean. It's just
if you do it like that,it'll get done. It's like a grocery
list. You feel me knock thatshit off and feel good getting shit done.
I don't know about y'all with thatchecking things off the list. It's
so gratifying. There's more power inwriting it down too. They say,
(27:44):
like you got a goal or likeyou want something, you want something writing
it down right to think about it, Like, can't just manifest that,
you gotta write it down. AndI'm trying so hard to be in twenty
twenty three and be digital and putit on my phone and use this.
I'm like, no, no,I need to physically write that it's down.
I need to check it off.I need to put a like a
highlight on the good one on thebig ones. Hello, look if I
(28:07):
show you my little stack right here, yeah, right now, dollar store.
So don't feel okay, right right, look, and you need to
fucking build. So if you're notusing your tools to build, and you're
using limited tools, well that's onyou. But good luck, I'm making
(28:30):
it successful. You smell me.Some of the simplest shit people just overlooked
because they see X y Z doingit so easy and now they're on yachts
and ship. Well, motherfucker's hadto go through this though, I promise
you. Yeah, I could tellyou. They probably had a wall with
a visual post it here there andwhatever, so a vision board and all
that stuff. Yeah. I haven'treally done the vision board yet. I
(28:55):
was working on one when I hada life coach, like ten plus years
ago. But it's more or oflike the daily ship for me really helps
a lot because then, like I'madding, I'm going like, say,
you get bored, you go throughthe old pages, You're like, oh
I forgot about that. Whoops.Then you start moving sit around, like
if you w on the phone app, it's hard to like really have that
screen. It looks so much thesame. They ain't no, you know
what I mean. Yeah, it'seasy to It's easy to get lost in
(29:21):
your list too. So stay focusedis what I'm gathering from nothing. It
focus. Like I said, Ilike, I like the weed. Hold
on, let me see, letme show y'all up, let me show
you. But those of y'all justlistening not getting the visual effects. He's
going into his his his treasure trove. So I use either the numps Lumpia
(29:42):
US in stores. Now we havea morning, noon and night right Sativa
Hybrid Indica from morning, noon ornight Lumpia, which is a one grand
rosin infuse cone, very affordable skewat the stores. And I promise you
one of the best tasting pre rolesyou'll get because of the rising I mean,
um, but if you're not inthat, if you're not into that,
(30:03):
right, you don't have to beinto that. Oh you're into that?
Cool? How about you down there? Good roll into that. You're
in the trip on it. Sothis is a new a new company.
I partnered up with this. I'mI'm I'm man. We're rocking, man,
look at this shit. So wehave the Lions Main, we have
the quarter steps, We also havethe resheet. These are all functional mushrooms.
(30:23):
So people get scared when I saymushrooms right and they're like, oh
my god, the bay. Youknow we've they've been doing the mushrooms a
lot. These ain't psychedelic. Thisis all wellness. So if you look
up later, some lions main orquarter steps m lins main basically helping get
blood flow oxygen to your brain.So using the one hundred percent functionality of
your brain. Not no, youknow, brain fog. I like to
(30:45):
call it thinking, thinking without anxiety. You're just getting done, you know
what I'm saying. You're just likeshit, You're not caring about dumb shit.
You're just it's just gonna it'll getyou there. The speed bump,
Oh, it's all good. Youran over speed on who cares? Like,
don't worry about your car. You'regood. You know, like little
shit or break like that sometimes andthen you lose that energy of you really
(31:06):
doing what you're supposed to be doing. And then I got the quarter STAPs.
This is more of like an energy. You use it for training,
working out, I mean if youwant right, even if you don't want
to, because it's a substitute forcoffee. But this is what our ancestors
use when they wanted to, youknow, get more energy, helps to
give oxygen through your blood and likeyou want that numb energy to both of
these things. So where you gota website or so many things like where

kind of just put me in aspace like okay, you know, like
an oil change, like you know, like cleaning your house. I kind
of felt like that happened with me. And then all of a sudden,
I took started taking knees. Iwas already I was already a partner.

(32:38):
looked back, and you know whatI mean, You're just it feels clean
to be clean. I get reallylike you don't do clean well, and
I'm sure it makes you more,you know, more present in your role
as a dad, as a partner, as you know, like in your
businesses. So yeah, and forreal though, like well you know that's
(32:59):
why they feel. You know,that shit is toxic man, because you
get intoxicated. So you gotta likethink there's a timing place for everything real
shit. And I like how yousaid as a as a dad, because
like you know, we we youknow, we're gonna have our fun,
but then there's a time to cutthat shit. Out and I trust me.
I see a lot of motherfuckers thatdon't understand that shit. Yeah,
(33:21):
it seems like a simple concept,but it takes a lot to flip that
switch. Like yeah, like westill you can still be hYP You don't
gotta wake up up either, rightyou feel Hello? You have y'all some
lions, Lions, main Lions,Maine on my mama, But I have
to with some of the psychedelics andthat's cool for if you have a space
(33:43):
to do it. And also themicro docne that ship to cool vibe,
you know what I mean. Um, you know what I mean. Just
shows everyone's it's just to each hisown, you know what I mean.
But yeah, these ones right here, I promise you I'm gonna get y'all
something when as soon as I'm back. That's what's up. Because you said
one word that brain fog. Let'sget rid of all of that. Please
think thinking without anxiety about the speedbumps. Man, I'd be stopping all
(34:07):
day, thank you. Yeah,it makes you concern with like you want
to trip off that street, Butyou gotta like think like that in order
to get like that. So well, we're excited to have you as one
of the first dads on this.Mama got drama. Hey, and this
this won't be the last either.I appreciate it. Man, No,
(34:29):
I'm excited. I love chopping itup, especially you know me and Lady
Ray always whenever we connect in personis just like a real family vibe.
Where have I seen dream of before? I know that name Day is a
legend and radio legend. She's ano, let me say it, she's
she's a wild nighty for nine.But she's also on a number of iHeart
(34:51):
radio stations nationally. So she andI both, um, you know,
just just being radio mom. Sayyou know what, let's put this together
and put both of our our teamtogether and make this happen. Yes,
yeah, So how long I've beendoing this for? Uh, you know,
we're right around that giving birth phase, so we're about a year and
a half and you know probably butyou know, we're moms, so this
(35:12):
is like, this is like beingable to balance our schedules to actually come
together and do this is like,Okay, we gotta give ourselves a pad
on the bank because it's a lot. I really love the message. I
love that you're also promoting like uh, ceo women, you know, what
I'm saying independent women that like areon that because that's something that's got to
get more light on, and especiallywe come up out of and with the
(35:37):
Bay, but also like everywhere,you know what I'm saying, like,
yeah, yeah, there's a lotof there's a lot of women bosses out
there, and y'all giving them aplatform, especially moms and now not ads
get they shine on on your show, like let's go, let's go.
Need we don't Yeah, we needthis. Yeah, I appreciate. I
appreciate you saying that. I thinkwe're at a point now where we've been.
(35:59):
We've been kind of nurturing this asa baby and kind of you know,
letting it grow, and we're atthe point now where we're like,
you know what, let's let's letthis baby start running and have its own
legs. So any moms that youyou know, have that you're like,
you know what, this mom needsa little shine, make sure to sitting
in our way because we want togive them their flowers. Because you know,
I don't know if you guys seenit recently, but there was a
mom who was on she's a reporter, and you know, these school shootings
(36:22):
are becoming normalized sadly right, andshe was reporting and her son was actually
in the school while the shooting washappening. Some if you guys saw this,
but there's a clip where she's reportinglive and she literally has to stay
professional while she's reporting while getting reunitedwith her own child. And it just
in that moment, I'm giving myselfchills as I'm talking about it, because
(36:45):
in that moment, it signified somuch for us working moms because she had
to a say professional, but shealso needed that moment to be like relieve,
like my baby's okay, you knowwhat I'm saying, and then you
know, snap back into it becauseas a mom, she also has a
responsibility to report what's going on sothe other moms and the other parents that
don't know where their children are canget an update. And I felt all
(37:07):
of that in the five seconds youknow that she was on TV. I
felt all of that. And usworking moms, you know, we don't
talk about this stuff. We don'ttalk about having a breastfeed at work or
I'm a pump at work. Wedon't talk about having to leave our baby
at six weeks so that we cango back, so that we can make
sure we can make the right careermoves to get to the next spot so
(37:28):
that we can pay for their collegeby the time they get there. So,
you know, I say all thatto say, you know, let's
let's keep giving these flowers. Let'skeep champion championing our moms, and let's
give love to the Zaddi's and thepops that are out here doing work and
supporting us so that we can bethe best moms we can be. Too.

to have y'all get that just onour schedules never really connect. But I
