  Here's to you. It's supported by One Life
• 0:02
  Spirits. One Life Spirits is built on
• 0:04
  purpose, culture, good people and good drinks so you can live
• 0:08
  one life to the fullest. That means shots that are
• 0:11
  smooth, tasteful, and pair perfectly with a lime.
• 0:14
  Or our favorite, in orange. Because if you're still chasing
• 0:17
  tequila with a lime, what are you doing?
• 0:20
  That orange slice springs out the bright citrus notes of Una
• 0:23
  Vida Blanco, which is smooth, authentic and tasteful.
• 0:27
  Like myself. Plus, Una Vida is 100% additive
• 0:31
  free, so you're enjoying tequila in its purest form without the
• 0:35
  hangover regret. Yeah, because it takes us three
• 0:38
  to five business days to recover now, and hang side is not my
• 0:41
  friend. That's why you should stick with
• 0:44
  una Vida or try cocktails instead of shots.
• 0:47
  OK, love a little. One Life Spirits also crafts El
• 0:50
  Drago High Post vodkas and LeBron whiskey all bold, smooth
• 0:54
  and made to share. Whether it's game night, date
• 0:56
  night or just Tuesday night, they've got the pores covered.
• 1:00
  Because it's not just about taste, but it's about that
• 1:02
  feeling. And we're proud spirits noms.
• 1:05
  So treat yourself. Visit onelifespirits.com, swing
• 1:09

• 2:10
  the demons. Was it like a scary movie?
• 2:17
  Come on. Yeah, it's how it happens.
• 2:23
  It looks. Like an exorcism in this
• 2:29
  bathroom. That's funny.
• 2:33
  Oh, my God, We were actually going to start.
• 2:34
  But I think this also helps, you know, and get to get used to it,
• 2:38
  Yeah. It's not like somebody just
• 2:39
  throws throws you in like, all right, question first.
• 2:41
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. So anyway.
• 2:59
  And welcome back to another episode of Here's to You, the
• 3:03
  podcast presented by One Life Spirits, Allied Health and
• 3:10
  Secret Investors. Yes.
• 3:14
  Of which this will be our last venture with.
• 3:17
  Is this our last? Yeah, this is our last.
• 3:19
  Recording session in this YEAH office.
• 3:22
  Yeah, our next one is going to be at a cool place that is a
• 3:27
  content creator house and that's, that's, that's the
• 3:32
  little snippet we can say right now.
• 3:33
  Yeah, 'cause we don't know what else we can say yet.
• 3:36
  Yeah, especially it's top secret, but it's not top secret.
• 3:39
  You should let, if you're interested in this content
• 3:42
  creator house, actually message us because it's not going to be
• 3:46
  top secret. It's not going to be gatekeep.
• 3:47
  It's going to be something that anybody can go and rent out.
• 3:51
  There's going to be a pool there.
• 3:52
  There's a lot of setup. Yeah, there's a pool.
• 3:54
  There's a lot of setup places. We're going to be recording at
• 3:56
  the pool now. Just kidding, it's too cold.
• 3:59
  Summertime. Yeah.
• 4:00
  Summertime for. Sure.
• 4:01
  Speaking of cool spaces, we're sitting here with somebody who's
• 4:05
  got a very cool space. Oh yes, fax 100%.
• 4:09
  This person is. I mean, you're saying I'm on
• 4:11
  camera but like Miguel, Miguel Gnocchio?
• 4:16
  Alright, so. It's it's the Americanized
• 4:18
  version Is Jinochio the correct way to say it is Jinochio?
• 4:23
  Jinochio OK, I knew I needed to practice it more.
• 4:26
  Jinochio OK, we have Miguel Jinochio here who really, both
• 4:31
  figuratively and literally, is building community first at the
• 4:36
  front steps. He is the founder of Front
• 4:39
  Steps, a storyteller, a community builder.
• 4:42
  Again, he is creating a space for creatives to be seen, heard
• 4:46
  and supported. And originally from the Bay
• 4:50
  Area, but now also building something here in Wichita.
• 4:53
  He's been bringing people together through music,
• 4:55
  storytelling, shared experiences from playlists that are telling
• 4:58
  you who you are or playlists that are just fun so that you
• 5:01
  can start cleaning your house. But also merch that really
• 5:05
  represents belonging in moments that remind us that we're not
• 5:08
  alone. Miguel, you're really building
• 5:10
  out this really cool community. Space, it's weird.
• 5:12
  It's like, you know when you read, when you read a birthday
• 5:15
  card? Yeah, it's like one of those
• 5:17
  ones. It's like, read it and you're
• 5:20
  like. Like, you know what I mean?
• 5:22
  You're like, I know, I know. It's really hard to, like,
• 5:24
  accept the little flowers, huh? Yeah, I think, I think that's, I
• 5:27
  think that's that's very true. Because just with a lot of
• 5:32
  stuff, like when people come down to the space, they'll be
• 5:35
  like, oh, your space is cool. And I'll be like, oh, I know
• 5:37
  like, but it's like, I'm like, yeah, I'm like, I don't know.
• 5:41
  It's like, yeah, it's so it's not.
• 5:43
  To remain humble. But it's like, I know I'm
• 5:45
  building this really cool thing and I'm so excited and
• 5:47
  passionate about it. And then also it's like, but
• 5:50
  you're seeing me and I'm sorry, but like, I don't vulnerable.
• 5:54
  Yeah. Like am I?
• 5:55
  Am I? Am I coming off as I'm showing
• 5:57
  off? Yeah.
• 5:58
  Am I braggadocious? You.
• 5:59
  Know that's how I feel with this, yeah.
• 6:02
  When it's weird because it's like your, it's your baby too,
• 6:04
  right? So you want to like show people
• 6:05
  your baby When, whenever, whenever, it's like whenever.
• 6:13
  I think it's like a like a crab, you know, when like a crab sheds
• 6:16
  its skin, It's like that or shell.
• 6:18
  It's like super vulnerable. I think that's when you're
• 6:21
  building something you haven't like established it yet.
• 6:23
  Or maybe in your head you established it, but the world
• 6:27
  hasn't seen it, right? So it's like you're in that.
• 6:30
  I don't have a shell like moment where you're like, I'm super
• 6:34
  vulnerable because like anything can happen.
• 6:36
  But I'm, I'm growing still, yeah.
• 6:38
  No, and your space really is super vulnerable from
• 6:41
  everything, like even just the paintings that you have on the
• 6:44
  wall. I mean like you're really
• 6:46
  letting people into your who you are, your personality.
• 6:50
  This isn't just like a pop up store in terms of like, oh, this
• 6:54
  looks nice here. No, it's everything is built
• 6:57
  with so much intentionality. Yeah, it's very curated.
• 7:01
  I guess that would be the the word for it.
• 7:03
  But it's like, I think it comes from a place of I just want
• 7:09
  other people. Sometimes we struggle with
• 7:12
  seeing our own. I think just what you just said,
• 7:14
  right? We don't see our own value.
• 7:16
  So I want people to know that I see them and I want to see how
• 7:21
  people see other people the way I see those people.
• 7:25
  Do you get what I'm saying? So it's just, it's really about
• 7:27
  just giving flowers and stuff like that.
• 7:29
  So yeah, I feel like I was gonna ask you who, you know, for other
• 7:34
  people that don't know you, who is Miguel, but I think like you
• 7:36
  just answered that, yeah, that I feel like that's who you are.
• 7:40
  It really is. It's it's weird, you know, just
• 7:44
  like, I don't know, it's like I've always been that person
• 7:48
  ever since I was like young, but I've always, I think maybe it
• 7:51
  comes, we're just talking about that like a coming from a place
• 7:53
  of not having. So knowing that you might have
• 7:57
  something that somebody else might need that you might not
• 8:00
  necessarily you see value on it still, but they see more value
• 8:04
  and they need it for their next journey, right?
• 8:06
  So it's like, let's give them the space, whatever the
• 8:12
  exposure, whatever the case may be, so then they can go about
• 8:15
  their journey. I think that everybody's a
• 8:17
  lighthouse. Yes, actually, that's what we
• 8:19
  were talking about. Expand on this the light when we
• 8:21
  were when we met up, because I thought that was such a really
• 8:24
  like a great metaphor, the whole lighthouse, like you, you just
• 8:28
  said this of we're just a part of your journey.
• 8:32
  But it's not you're not saying it in this like, oh, I'm just a
• 8:34
  tiny piece. Like, no, I'm well yes you are.
• 8:37
  But also like an integral piece that was built with some
• 8:40
  intentionality. Yeah, so I was fortunate enough
• 8:43
  to, I had think 5 lighthouses in my, in my life of people who
• 8:49
  like helped me out, like when I was down, you know, like super
• 8:52
  down. And there's no way that I can
• 8:56
  ever repay those people. Like I've tried, you know, we
• 8:59
  take you out to dinner. Hey, you know, leaving money in
• 9:02
  their house and just being like, Hey, I just I can't repay that.
• 9:07
  So how I can repay that is just being a person like that, right?
• 9:11
  And being a person that's just like, hey, I know I can't help
• 9:14
  you for your full journey, right?
• 9:16
  But I can help you for this small portion of time, whether
• 9:19
  it's like you're just telling somebody have a nice day or
• 9:22
  you're just having people feel value at that moment, or if
• 9:26
  it's, you know, just helping somebody out again with
• 9:29
  something that you may not it might not spark spark joy for
• 9:33
  you, but you know, it sparks short for them or it helps them
• 9:37
  with their travel. You know, if you're playing
• 9:38
  Zelda, I can't imagine that, right?
• 9:41
  Some like old guy like here, you're going to need this.
• 9:43
  Join your journey. I was wearing a really cool ass
• 9:50
  orange hat. Yeah, exactly.
• 9:52
  But the wizard with the hat, it's like.
• 9:53
  Wizard. With that, yeah, it was like,
• 9:55
  hey, you need this for your journey.
• 9:57
  And I just said that's just how I see it, you know?
• 10:00
  Yeah, it's like. I don't think we're in
• 10:02
  everybody. Unfortunately, we're not, right?
• 10:04
  That's that's a, that's a reality that we're not in
• 10:07
  everybody's life all the time. But it doesn't mean that just
• 10:12
  because you're not in their lives anymore that they didn't
• 10:15
  bring value to you, right? Whether these people are like
• 10:17
  have moved on, like spiritually or they have moved on.
• 10:21
  I'm talking about like you send it to like they passed away or
• 10:24
  whatever. It doesn't mean that they you
• 10:25
  just forget about them, right? And then you give it for
• 10:27
  friends, like you have friends when you were like, I don't
• 10:30
  know, six years old or something like that.
• 10:33
  And then they helped you. These people like, oh, he
• 10:35
  exposed me to Nintendo Wii used to go to eat Pop Tarts and stuff
• 10:39
  like that. So those, those little stories
• 10:41
  make a difference in your life. So you have to be mindful of
• 10:45
  that. So I think that's where the
• 10:47
  Lighthouse kind of comes from. Yeah, yeah.
• 10:50
  And man, I, I loved that metaphor when you described it
• 10:54
  about how I, for me, I'm such a visual thinker that like, I
• 10:58
  really did think of like someone coming like, I think like when
• 11:01
  we get to the point where like we can maybe do this full time
• 11:04
  and like, I'm just going to be drawing out a bunch of these
• 11:06
  things, a bunch of these conversations, but and.
• 11:10
  That's it because everybody's conversation even like us
• 11:13
  linking up, but then like how this all came about and like,
• 11:18
  and I think that's the reason why the sound checks are so
• 11:20
  important. It's like you're giving somebody
• 11:24
  it's, it's not clout, right, because it can be easily seen as
• 11:27
  like clout, like, Hey, I'm giving you some exposure and
• 11:30
  stuff like that. But if it's like truly done
• 11:32
  right to truly done correctly, it's like, Hey, I acknowledge
• 11:36
  which I see what you're doing and I'm just want to put a light
• 11:39
  on it to help you get to the next spot because you never
• 11:42
  know, somebody might be down. You guys, like a lot of people
• 11:45
  will be going through real that go through real shit and and
• 11:48
  next, you know, it's like, damn, what could I have done to help
• 11:51
  them, right? We'll use it as an in the term
• 11:53
  of like a small business, right? So a small business can really
• 11:57
  be going through some stuff and then next, you know, we close,
• 12:00
  they're getting ready to close. And then, you know, somebody
• 12:03
  writes a review on it and they're like, hey, this store
• 12:06
  is, you know, this place is closing.
• 12:07
  And then we're like, oh, let's go save them.
• 12:09
  It's like Nah, why do we have to wait?
• 12:11
  Yes. Why do we have to wait to make
• 12:14
  somebody feel important, to have somebody feel seen Like Nah,
• 12:18
  like if you're. If you really vibe with them,
• 12:21
  vibe with them. Stop.
• 12:22
  Yeah. You know, like some.
• 12:23
  Cool guys, Yeah. Like stop with the whole
• 12:25
  nonchalant shit, Yeah, Like why are we acting?
• 12:28
  Like, just like my shit, you know what I mean?
• 12:30
  It's like, hey, I see you what you're doing.
• 12:31
  And it, it gets weird 'cause it's, it's Internet, right?
• 12:34
  And you're like, you kind of want to be creepy.
• 12:36
  Yeah, and it's like, it's not. Why are you acting that way?
• 12:38
  You're following someone else who has a lot more.
• 12:41
  That's yeah, that's but that's our that's our mindset though,
• 12:44
  right? That has a lot to do with it,
• 12:46
  like our mindset and how we like we view view the world, right?
• 12:50
  We can't we can help everybody else, right?
• 12:52
  We can go buy Coca-Cola all day and all that stuff, but then we
• 12:57
  not won't necessarily help a friend, help a friend, but just
• 13:01
  to go back to it's just showing love, man.
• 13:04
  I think that's really what it is.
• 13:06
  So if you can change the word from support to love or to
• 13:10
  whatever like it's. Yeah, Yeah.
• 13:13
  Those are like and like what you're trying to build with the
• 13:16
  sound check. Exactly.
• 13:18
  And it's just like just show love and and stuff like that,
• 13:20
  'cause we're all going through some shit, you know what I mean?
• 13:23
  Where everybody's going through some shit.
• 13:25
  So we just have to be mindful of that, You know what I mean?
• 13:27
  Whether it's whether if you're faking it too, because there's a
• 13:29
  lot of people out there that fucking act like they get it all
• 13:32
  together and then. But I think like that's, I mean,
• 13:37
  one, I get it, like sometimes like we're all trying to get
• 13:42
  through our shit right? And mask, we're all masking.
• 13:47
  But I think like, or at least like that's why we try to have
• 13:51
  more of these types of conversations that are anything
• 13:54
  and everything, all the interests who you are, but then
• 13:56
  like what you're trying to do and then all of your random
• 13:59
  interests because like, let's take the masks off here.
• 14:02
  You guys know the song Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles?
• 14:06
  That's like one of my alright, so this is like in my 20s,
• 14:10
  right? I get like we're doing we're,
• 14:14
  you know, we're experimenting. And I remember Eleanor Rigby
• 14:18
  like hit me heavy. Like it was just like about how
• 14:22
  she keeps her, what is it like she keeps her mask, like her
• 14:27
  mask by the door or whatever. It was like a line in there that
• 14:31
  Paul says. And I'm like, damn, like I just
• 14:33
  got the visual. So I'm a visual person too.
• 14:35
  And I got the visual and I was like, damn, like we're all
• 14:37
  wearing. I was like, we're all wearing
• 14:38
  masks. You know what I mean?
• 14:40
  Yeah. Yeah, it just depends on like
• 14:42
  who's knocking at the door, right and what match you put on.
• 14:44
  So. And it's not to say that people
• 14:47
  are fake either. No, it's not that.
• 14:50
  It's deeper than that and it's not, you know, and that's.
• 14:53
  Crab with the shell. It's the crab with the shell,
• 14:55
  that's what it is. Yes, and and then like once we
• 14:58
  can realize that about all of us, it's just like that's when
• 15:01
  we can really be graceful towards each other and then
• 15:03
  realize too, like shit's not that deep, you know what I mean?
• 15:07
  Like, yeah, it's like, or, you know, going back to what you
• 15:11
  were saying, how like maybe we don't always want to go and like
• 15:14
  stuff or support stuff. Like man, a lot of people will
• 15:17
  be like, oh, that like on that story meant something to me.
• 15:20
  I'm like, man, I shall look to everyone.
• 15:21
  I'd be liking everything. I'd be like like like.
• 15:24
  Yeah, you get in trouble. I seen you.
• 15:28
  You liked your picture. I was like, fuck.
• 15:29
  I just support what they're doing, dude.
• 15:31
  You know what I mean? Yeah, I'm like hell yeah.
• 15:32
  It was a bomb. Aspect, you know what I mean?
• 15:34
  Yeah, I was like, take, take everything else out of it,
• 15:37
  right? Like strip everything down and
• 15:39
  then it's like, I'm just wanna show support, you know what I
• 15:42
  mean? And I think we just get caught
• 15:44
  up in that. I think we get caught up with,
• 15:45
  you know, I've read a lot of books, right?
• 15:47
  And there's a lot of bullshit on Can I cuss on here?
• 15:50
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. So.
• 15:54
  Like hell. Yeah, I just felt like it was
• 15:55
  underlined. Do you know what I mean?
• 15:56
  I was like bullshit, like, but I think what it is is like we look
• 16:03
  online and everybody seems to have it together.
• 16:06
  And I think that we go online and we look at these people and
• 16:09
  they're like, no one wants to deal with the person that's like
• 16:13
  amateur, right? And every like, and it's like,
• 16:15
  dude, my accolades are crazy. Like what I've done for other
• 16:19
  businesses is crazy so and like the culture that I have built
• 16:24
  for other places, but it's like I don't want to be the expert.
• 16:28
  I don't want to be the person that's like follow me.
• 16:31
  Like I don't, I don't want to. I don't want to be a savior.
• 16:33
  Like I don't, I don't want to be that.
• 16:34
  I want to be in. You want to be part of it.
• 16:36
  I want to be a part of the journey, right?
• 16:37
  I want to. I want to walk beside you.
• 16:40
  I don't. That's how I describe myself all
• 16:42
  the time too. Like, no, go ahead.
• 16:44
  No, no, no, no, no, no. I.
• 16:45
  Yeah, like, because it's just like you get to a point where
• 16:50
  you have learned a lot and you you're really applying it.
• 16:54
  But let's like, I'm not like you sometimes you'll probably find
• 16:58
  yourself, I'm curious, you'll probably find yourself in
• 17:00
  leadership positions are getting pushed into leadership positions
• 17:03
  and you're like, I don't want to do that.
• 17:05
  I like being a person that's in the weeds.
• 17:07
  I love just being able to walk with you.
• 17:10
  That's what I want to do. Like I can bring my skill set of
• 17:13
  this into this. But I want to remind you that
• 17:16
  you are still who you are. And because we're collaborating,
• 17:19
  this is going to be a lot better.
• 17:20
  So I, I put a lot of this like I and I don't see myself in this.
• 17:25
  I and I, I say this and like the part of my brain is says like, I
• 17:30
  just probably not, shouldn't say this, right?
• 17:32
  It's like the Harriet Tubman kind of thing, right?
• 17:35
  It's like she saved like a whole bunch of people from slavery,
• 17:40
  right? And then, but she never really
• 17:43
  got to enjoy the fruits of her labor, right?
• 17:46
  So I think with front steps, it's like, I don't think I'm
• 17:49
  ever going to get to a point where I can like enjoy the
• 17:52
  fruits because I feel like there's always stuff that I need
• 17:54
  to do, right? It's never, it's never going to
• 17:56
  be done right. And that actually just speaks to
• 17:59
  my character, which is what kind of sucks is that I'm never like
• 18:02
  truly satisfied, right? It's like you can have the
• 18:05
  perfect performance and then next thing you know, you're
• 18:07
  like, now that sucks. Like, Oh, I could have did that,
• 18:10
  like I walked out different or you know, I could have corrected
• 18:13
  that word. So I'm always like trying to
• 18:15
  self adjust, which a long time ago self digesting was a good
• 18:18
  thing, right? But you know, I think nowadays
• 18:22
  we are like, you have to be perfect all the time.
• 18:25
  And it's like, no, like you should give yourself the room to
• 18:28
  grow and to blossom and to go back to the sound checks.
• 18:31
  I think that's the cool thing, right?
• 18:33
  So if anybody ever gets big, right, and they are, they get
• 18:36
  like, I want them to be able to look back and be like, damn,
• 18:38
  like at that moment, like, I didn't think I had it together,
• 18:43
  You know what I mean? Because there's people who come
• 18:44
  on there and they're like, hey, we're going to do this.
• 18:46
  We're going to do this and they do it.
• 18:48
  And then, you know, I hit them up and I'm like, hey, like I was
• 18:50
  like, hey, remember you said that you did.
• 18:52
  And it's not like me wanting to be a part of their journey.
• 18:56
  It's like you're, you're just excited.
• 18:57
  I'm just excited. I'm like bro, like it's.
• 18:59
  You're showing love. It's going back to what you were
• 19:01
  saying, like you want to be able to show that love.
• 19:03
  You don't need to wait for it. Yeah.
• 19:04
  And it's like, dude, you did it. And you know, we had, we had
• 19:07
  somebody on, we had a couple people on that set goals and
• 19:10
  they obtained those goals. And, you know, when they hit
• 19:13
  their goals, be in the DM and I'll be like, hey, like you
• 19:16
  talked about that on the show. Like I was like, the walls are
• 19:18
  magical, you guys. You know what I mean?
• 19:20
  Like, yeah. And you spoke.
• 19:22
  That into existence. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 19:24
  And a lot of people come on, they do their sound check and
• 19:27
  they're like, we'll talk when the camera's off.
• 19:29
  And they're like, oh, I got this going on.
• 19:31
  And then I'm like, one of the questions is like, what do you
• 19:33
  got going on? And they're like, yeah, yeah, I
• 19:37
  don't know what I got. I was like, dude, we just talked
• 19:38
  about it for 20 minutes. Like that's what you need to
• 19:40
  say. And I know it applies pressure
• 19:43
  to you, so you're mindful of it, right?
• 19:44
  But then at the same time, like, like speaking into existence,
• 19:49
  you know what I mean? So especially because the the
• 19:52
  space is so curated, like we're I'm very mindful of the energy
• 19:56
  that comes in and so like. It should work, right?
• 20:01
  Because you have all these positive energies and all these
• 20:03
  people dreams inside of a space. And so you have to because you
• 20:09
  have others fighting for you, right?
• 20:10
  And I think that's why the support system is so, so
• 20:12
  important. Yeah, OK, let's, let's we've
• 20:16
  kind of circled around the support system because some
• 20:19
  people who are who don't know you, I mean, we're going to have
• 20:22
  people who listen, who know you, who are going to listen to it.
• 20:24
  But we're going to have people who don't know you.
• 20:26
  Hi, My name's Miguel. But like, OK, talk a little bit
• 20:32
  about like what the sound check is, but also talk about the
• 20:36
  front steps you're in, like your, your steps, what you're
• 20:42
  making there, you know, like how can you get in?
• 20:44
  What is it like? Yeah, so, so I guess we'll start
• 20:48
  with what the support system is. So the support system is
• 20:51
  literally everyone. Everybody is a support system.
• 20:54
  We just put the label on it, right.
• 20:56
  So it's like, you know, when you go through some stuff, you'd be
• 20:58
  like, you just need to reach out to your little support.
• 21:01
  You need a support, good support system.
• 21:02
  So yeah. So it's like it's just again,
• 21:05
  it's just being mindful of your support system now, your
• 21:08
  supports the support system now and why we do the sound checks
• 21:12
  is 1. My dad used to do mixtapes for
• 21:15
  like friends and stuff like that.
• 21:16
  And I remember just waking up on like Saturday mornings and like
• 21:20
  he had like the Kenwood speakers or like fifteens or twelves in
• 21:23
  the house. I remember the windows was shake
• 21:25
  and it was like I was not allowed to like my dad worked
• 21:31
  like 60 hours a week wow. And like so I would never see
• 21:35
  him but I would know when he was like it was time.
• 21:37
  It was like tiptoe around the house cuz I hate work.
• 21:40
  He worked nights and it's like tiptoe don't make him any noise
• 21:42
  right? But then like I knew he was like
• 21:45
  coming out to play because the music would be on.
• 21:46
  I'm like, fuck, I guess it's time to wake up, you know?
• 21:49
  So when? You wake up to your mom, like to
• 21:52
  all the Spanish music playing. I'm like, I guess I'm cleaning
• 21:55
  today. Yeah.
• 21:56
  I smell the fabuloso. Yeah.
• 22:00
  So it's like, all right, You're like, OK, all right, all right.
• 22:03
  It's time to wake up. So.
• 22:05
  But my dad was like that. And I remember he would just
• 22:07
  like, write out playlists for his friends and and stuff like
• 22:10
  that. And then like for birthdays and
• 22:12
  whatever. And so that was always in my
• 22:17
  DNA, right. Yeah.
• 22:18
  So it. Was it was a gift?
• 22:20
  Yeah, yeah, it was. It was weird because like the
• 22:22
  gift of music from my dad was true.
• 22:25
  Like I don't even know where I would be without that.
• 22:27
  I you know, so when we start doing the sound checks, you
• 22:31
  know, it started off as us just doing like, hey, can you make a
• 22:35
  playlist? Cuz I think it'd be cool.
• 22:36
  Like cuz I like that's very intimate.
• 22:39
  You doing a playlist for somebody, right?
• 22:41
  It's like. It is, I mean, like I think
• 22:43
  that's the last start of it though too now that we're all
• 22:46
  streaming, like that's not a huge thing anymore and it's sad.
• 22:50
  It's like, God, I remember like, or, or, you know, when you're
• 22:54
  like, when you can't easily get access to the song lyrics or you
• 22:59
  had to buy a CD and sometimes they have the song lyrics in
• 23:01
  there or also like, where you're just like playing the thing and
• 23:04
  then you're writing it down on your notebook.
• 23:06
  Yeah. What song is this?
• 23:09
  Yeah, yeah. What?
• 23:10
  Like all those kind of things? Or like you cherish that CD too.
• 23:13
  Right. Yeah.
• 23:14
  There's some CDs that I still have and I'm like hopefully to a
• 23:17
  place that got to that scratch looks a little big, you know?
• 23:20
  And you would actually go and clean them?
• 23:22
  Oh my God. I still.
• 23:24
  Remember the? It's a lost art.
• 23:25
  Form you just. Store them different.
• 23:27
  You just didn't care like with your phone, it's like whatever
• 23:30
  you just like you toss it and if I get logged out or it's what I
• 23:33
  can find these songs again. So I think that is a piece of
• 23:36
  it, right? And again, if we ever get to a
• 23:38
  point, and I don't own Spotify, I don't own Instagram, these
• 23:42
  things could get shut down at any time, right?
• 23:44
  But hoping that they last for forever and our account doesn't
• 23:49
  get shut down or flagged or whatever the case may be, right?
• 23:52
  If that stays up long after I'm gone, like we'll be active, be
• 23:57
  able to access those playlists, we'll be accessed, be able to
• 24:00
  access those those songs, right? And so like if something happens
• 24:05
  to anybody who's been on the sound check, their families can
• 24:08
  go on there and be like, it's and now it gets, it gets, it
• 24:12
  gets really, it gets really, it gets really deep.
• 24:14
  But like, that's literally how my brain, my brain.
• 24:17
  Works, but I'm glad that you said that because going back to
• 24:21
  that lost art form of writing songs and down and all of that,
• 24:24
  my mom has passed and we a long time, not a long time ago, but
• 24:30
  maybe a couple of months after she passed, we found a a little
• 24:33
  like just sticky notepad type of thing and it was in the kitchen
• 24:38
  and it was songs that she had written down and and it was just
• 24:42
  a set of songs and so that. Fucked you up.
• 24:45
  Huh. Yeah, Oh my God, yes.
• 24:47
  And like the amount of times that me and my sister or just in
• 24:50
  our sibling chat 'cause we we all talk, 'cause we don't want
• 24:53
  to forget this memory. It's legacy.
• 24:55
  Yeah, it's, you know, we never want to forget her.
• 24:57
  So anyways, we're I'm always like send me that picture again
• 25:00
  because I need to make this into a playlist.
• 25:01
  Like when I'm feeling like I really miss her, I want to go
• 25:05
  listen to these songs that she wrote down in this notebook, in
• 25:09
  this notepad. And my dad, like, had all types
• 25:12
  of lists. He would just write like, he had
• 25:14
  like a notebook. And it would be like songs like
• 25:18
  what he wanted to like songs he would like to get.
• 25:20
  And it stuck because he passed away in 2019.
• 25:23
  So like, yeah, it's when you lose a parent, it sucks because
• 25:28
  it's like that void is never filled.
• 25:31
  No, it's not. And I think that's the, there's
• 25:34
  songs now that I can't even like, I'm like, turn it off.
• 25:37
  Like soon. Immediately I'm like turn it
• 25:39
  off. But there's sometimes that I'll
• 25:41
  lean into it and I'm like, oh, like I'll cry and shit like
• 25:44
  that. And I'm a big guy, you know what
• 25:46
  I mean? But like, I'm ex.
• 25:48
  Yeah, I'm ex when I'm, I'm extra sensitive too.
• 25:52
  Like, you know what I mean? So like I'll lean into it.
• 25:55
  I'm like, oh, like, you know, when I was my son's age, I was
• 26:01
  my my dad's age and my son, when I was my son's age, I'm my dad.
• 26:04
  That was where my dad's at. You get what I'm saying?
• 26:06
  Yeah. OK.
• 26:07
  So like, I'm like, damn. How old is your son again?
• 26:09
  1818, yeah. So dude.
• 26:11
  You were. Young, yeah.
• 26:13
  So no, he passed when I was older.
• 26:15
  But oh, OK, OK, OK. Just.
• 26:17
  Right 20. 19 Yeah yeah when I was when I was mentality wise
• 26:21
  like just seeing where he was like the music he was listening
• 26:25
  to and like what he was doing, I'm like damn.
• 26:26
  Like we're literally on the same trajectory.
• 26:30
  You get what I'm saying? I'm like, oh, I'm like at this
• 26:34
  age he was making playlists for his friends.
• 26:36
  I was like, now I'm making playlists with my friends.
• 26:40
  Do you get what I'm saying? And it's like and it's like
• 26:43
  that's that's kind of cool. It's like.
• 26:44
  And that kind of speaks to like 1 not to derail this, but like
• 26:52
  trauma, all that stuff, your childhood, it's, it's in your
• 26:55
  DNA. It's in your DNA.
• 26:57
  So like if there's something that you need to correct, you
• 26:59
  need to be mindful to correct it.
• 27:00
  If there's something that you, you don't want to change and
• 27:06
  you, it's already in your DNA. So it'll pop up even if you try
• 27:09
  to like people are like, I don't want nothing to do with my
• 27:12
  parents. I'm like, shit's gonna pop.
• 27:13
  Up, bro. Yeah.
• 27:14
  That shit's gonna work on. It hey, yeah, I mean, it is.
• 27:16
  It'll still pop up too when you work on it because triggers
• 27:19
  happen. And then you have to remember,
• 27:20
  like, what? How am I going to respond to
• 27:22
  this? Am I gonna respond in an old
• 27:24
  way, or am I gonna respond to the new way?
• 27:27
  I still, I just, I still can't build furniture, like, you know
• 27:30
  what I mean? Like I just, I know, I know the
• 27:33
  trauma from my dad. I'm just like, no, I was like, I
• 27:35
  remember he would just break in and buy a new one.
• 27:38
  I was like, what's like sweetest dude?
• 27:41
  My dad would just black out on like a anything.
• 27:44
  I remember he's just making like a CD rack and it had like the
• 27:46
  glue and it was like, yeah, I was like, remember he like, just
• 27:50
  got mad. And I remember he got mad and he
• 27:52
  was like, I just need you to move.
• 27:53
  And I was like, move. I was like in the middle.
• 27:55
  And I was like, oh, OK. And he just like, yeah, I was
• 27:59
  like, man, that's crazy. You know, you just, I don't
• 28:01
  know, like in your DNA or whatever, you know, So.
• 28:05
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 28:06
  So the sound check and what you're doing there is and you're
• 28:11
  trying to get people again to be able to do that.
• 28:13
  So now talk about front steps, your office space, what how
• 28:18
  people can access. So what do you?
• 28:19
  Do Miguel, what do you do? What do you do So front steps,
• 28:24
  it's it's actually acronym. So it's like future
• 28:26
  representatives of now and then, right.
• 28:28
  So that part right there and I'll say that again, future
• 28:32
  representatives of now and then, right.
• 28:34
  So that's just speaks to the legacy, right?
• 28:36
  So whether it's then or if it's in the future, like we're all
• 28:41
  going to be representing something, right?
• 28:43
  So it's just being mindful of legacy.
• 28:46
  Now the steps, the steps part, spit my tongue, excuse me, but
• 28:50
  the steps part is success through every person's support.
• 28:55
  So you can replace it with happiness.
• 28:57
  You can replace it with success with through every person's
• 29:01
  love, whatever the case may be, but without us supporting each
• 29:05
  other, whether it's alike, whether it's having a good day,
• 29:08
  Hey, I acknowledge what you're doing, We won't be successful
• 29:12
  and successful won't feel the same, right?
• 29:14
  We also talked about like success, What does success look
• 29:18
  like? Everybody's different, right?
• 29:19
  But I think at the end of the day, you just want people.
• 29:22
  People just want to be happy, right?
• 29:24
  And happiness, happiness does not hit if you're, if you're not
• 29:31
  with people, right? You can be, you see it all the
• 29:35
  time, millionaires and these people are like, I'm just so
• 29:38
  unhappy. And it's like, you know, there
• 29:40
  was like, or Michael Jackson was a prime example of that.
• 29:42
  Yeah, like that's that's like had this crazy amount of
• 29:46
  success, but then you can't go outside, right?
• 29:49
  And it's like, or you don't have anybody to share it with, right.
• 29:52
  So then you get you're just with yourself self regulating and,
• 29:57
  and all that stuff. So like you have to have the
• 29:59
  support of other people in order to have true success.
• 30:03
  Not like, hey, I got AI got 6,000,000.
• 30:07
  I got 5 million in a bank. Because if you are truly
• 30:10
  successful, then you we don't have like a Bezos problem,
• 30:14
  right? When you're around, like when
• 30:18
  you, when you have the success around other people, you just
• 30:21
  don't have that. Like, it's not about me, right?
• 30:23
  Success is nice, but if I'm not there with my friends and
• 30:27
  they're not successful, you know what I mean?
• 30:29
  Yeah. That's like, well, then I mean,
• 30:31
  it's those memes, they're funny of like when they're like money
• 30:34
  doesn't bring happiness and like, I don't know, I'll be
• 30:37
  crying on a yacht, but it's like, it's a funny meme until
• 30:41
  you're crying on a yacht by yourself and then it's like,
• 30:45
  that's kind of lonely. Or paid friends, you know what I
• 30:48
  mean? Like when you're like, Oh, I, I
• 30:50
  don't have the only thing that it's like rappers, rappers deal
• 30:52
  with that a lot. You know, actors and stuff like
• 30:54
  that. You get caught up with like yes,
• 30:56
  man, people who are in your like in your corner.
• 30:59
  And trust me, I've been on the other end, right where it's like
• 31:02
  when you've been by yourself and you're just like, damn, I just
• 31:04
  need like, I just need somebody to be like, Hey, good job.
• 31:07
  Or you just need that, right? And you kind of just need a yes
• 31:11
  man, just like I just need me to, to keep, you know, a
• 31:14
  cheerleader. It's not really a yes man, a
• 31:15
  cheerleader. You need a cheerleader in your
• 31:17
  corner. But you know, it just, I don't
• 31:20
  know, it just kind of it just you just have to be mindful of
• 31:23
  all that stuff. I think that's really what it
• 31:24
  comes down. She was just being mindful.
• 31:26
  And I don't know, it just I kind of didn't lose my train of
• 31:31
  thought because I just started thinking about like what it
• 31:33
  means to have support in your corner.
• 31:36
  You know what I mean? Yeah, Yeah.
• 31:37
  So how can creators access the space?
• 31:41
  Hit me up IG from Steps is the future.
• 31:44
  I think that's the crazy part is like some people, so I will say
• 31:50
  this like we don't really, it's not that we don't support other
• 31:55
  people, right? But we're very mindful again of
• 31:57
  what we talked about earlier about like who's in the space,
• 32:00
  right? So I can't have.
• 32:01
  Your office hours. Yeah, yeah.
• 32:03
  Like I can't have a certain amount.
• 32:05
  I can't have a certain kind of people in there.
• 32:07
  Like I have to have people who are going to not take energy
• 32:13
  from it because it's a, it's a, it's a melty pot, right?
• 32:15
  You could take the energy from it, but I need you, No.
• 32:18
  Vampires. Yeah, I don't want you to like
• 32:20
  just coming there, taking and then being like, this is a great
• 32:23
  idea. This is this, all right, We're
• 32:24
  out. Like, you know, like you take a
• 32:26
  penny, leave a penny. You get what I'm saying?
• 32:28
  Like that, you got to have that kind of mentality.
• 32:30
  I mean, it's, it goes back to the intentionality of even
• 32:32
  having like good people on your corner and good friends, right?
• 32:36
  Like you can have yes men, you can have someone who is just
• 32:41
  there to while you're doing this, I want to seem cool
• 32:44
  because I'm with you. And it's like, well, no, because
• 32:49
  I don't want to wear a mask 24/7.
• 32:52
  I'm tired. I don't want to always be on,
• 32:54
  you know what I mean? Like I always got to be like,
• 32:56
  oh, like got to watch what I say.
• 32:58
  Like, because there's, and this is the thing, there's going to
• 33:03
  be times even when you guys go back in your old podcast and be
• 33:05
  like, I shouldn't have said that, right?
• 33:07
  And it's like, but that's a part of it.
• 33:08
  And, and I think that's, that's a big thing.
• 33:11
  It's like people aren't allowed to grow nowadays.
• 33:13
  Again, we're just like, we have to be like perfect.
• 33:17
  We always have to be on. We always have to say the right
• 33:19
  things. We always have to make the right
• 33:20
  moves. And that's we start putting
• 33:23
  pressure on us And it's like, dude, like we already have tons
• 33:29
  of shit that we got to worry about, like life bills, like
• 33:32
  policies and you know, like all this stuff.
• 33:34
  So and then we and then we beat ourselves up.
• 33:37
  Then we get to the point where beat stuff up and then we got to
• 33:38
  watch every word that we say. And it's like, dude, allow me to
• 33:41
  grow. Allow me to not necessarily.
• 33:43
  It's the shame that's The thing is that we love to shame and we
• 33:46
  also shame ourselves like because there's, there's, it
• 33:50
  goes on both ends, right? Like you could say something
• 33:52
  wrong and then people will shame you for it because shame is
• 33:55
  different where all you're doing is just beating yourself up
• 33:58
  about it and you're not able to get up and grow from it.
• 34:01
  There's a difference between being able to be accountable and
• 34:03
  like maybe feeling guilt. Guilt is different too.
• 34:06
  There's going to be action with it.
• 34:07
  Shame is just one of those feelings that puts you down.
• 34:10
  And you can put shame on yourself too.
• 34:13
  Like I've been on the other side where maybe someone's not
• 34:15
  shaming me or maybe to some degree when I was growing up,
• 34:18
  that was the feeling I always felt.
• 34:19
  And so then you just carried with you as an adult where
• 34:22
  you're like, oh, I shouldn't have said this.
• 34:24
  I shouldn't have done that. And like, constantly pushing
• 34:27
  yourself down doesn't allow you to like, build it back.
• 34:31
  Like, if you can't regulate that emotion, all you're going to do
• 34:35
  is just be like, well, nothing I'm doing is right.
• 34:38
  Nothing I'm doing is good. And it's like, no, you need to
• 34:41
  stop thinking like that too. And that's why I say be be
• 34:44
  mindful, right? If you're just like mindful in
• 34:47
  your day-to-day actions, like I'm not saying that you like
• 34:51
  again, you over analyze everything and put thought to
• 34:54
  everything, but just be mindful, like be mindful of the
• 34:57
  situation, be mindful of everybody's feelings.
• 34:59
  Be so empathy. Empathetic.
• 35:01
  You know what? I mean I.
• 35:02
  Don't want people sympathy. I want you looking down at me
• 35:04
  and yeah, I feel sorry for you. Like I've had friends who have
• 35:08
  lost loved ones and it's like it's hard.
• 35:11
  How do you, like, how do you, what do you say?
• 35:13
  Like, you know, you know, I had a friend that lost his pops
• 35:17
  recently and I was like, dude, I don't even like I don't, I don't
• 35:20
  want to say I'm sorry. I don't want to say I don't want
• 35:22
  to say I'm sorry to you, dude. Because one, it's, it's a part
• 35:25
  of life and it's unfortunately it's a part of life, right.
• 35:28
  I wish that we all can live to 100 years old and we can start
• 35:32
  doing that. But you know, only thing I can
• 35:35
  say is like, bro, like I feel where you're at.
• 35:37
  Yeah, you know what I mean? And it's.
• 35:40
  You're gonna feel that's the empathy.
• 35:41
  Yeah, you're gonna feel that you're it's you're all good.
• 35:45
  And then two years later, you're gonna hit the trigger and then
• 35:48
  you're gonna find, you're going to find a poster note with songs
• 35:51
  on it. And then that's going to tear
• 35:53
  you up. And then it's, you're going to
• 35:54
  be right back in it. So like, just know these things
• 35:56
  are coming and just be mindful of them and then you can move
• 36:01
  forward from there. I just, I, I, I don't know, I
• 36:03
  just the feeling sympathetic, like I feel sorry.
• 36:06
  I feel sorry for people like that.
• 36:08
  Like I just, you just don't grow like that.
• 36:10
  There's no growth from. That no, because there's a
• 36:12
  difference between like, because sympathy is the one where it's
• 36:16
  like, it's the one where you want to feel bad for them, and
• 36:22
  then empathy is the one where it's like, I hear you and I.
• 36:27
  Yeah, Like, yeah. What is it?
• 36:29
  Sympathy is like, It's like, yeah, I feel sorry for you.
• 36:34
  And then sympathy is like, yeah, the feeling of it, right?
• 36:38
  Yeah. It's like, I might not fully
• 36:40
  understand cuz that's the other part of empathy is like you
• 36:43
  don't have to understand, but you can see that person.
• 36:45
  Yeah, yeah, you can just hear them.
• 36:49
  So I think we all just want, but now it's crazy too, right?
• 36:51
  You start thinking about these like, people just want to be
• 36:53
  seen. But then we'd be like, fucking
• 36:56
  club chasers, you know what I mean?
• 36:58
  But I think there's a balance. I think there's a balance to it,
• 37:01
  right? You're like, yeah, but it's a.
• 37:02
  Double edged. Sword are you is that person do
• 37:05
  they just want to be seen It's like if you sit down with that
• 37:07
  person or is this just somebody who wants to be seen You know I
• 37:12
  think even people who do like heinous stuff like I think to a
• 37:16
  point they just want to be seen it's somebody to catch them in
• 37:18
  time yeah right. Somebody, somebody in the So
• 37:21
  this where we go back to the lighthouse, right?
• 37:23
  So somewhere that lighthouse let it get too dark and that's what
• 37:32
  happens. Right.
• 37:33
  It brought me back to Diddy. Somebody was, yeah.
• 37:36
  I was. In the I was in the dark.
• 37:38
  I tried to. I tried to watch it and I I I
• 37:40
  so. Do you hate $0.50?
• 37:43
  So yeah, yeah, hot take hot. Take.
• 37:47
  So no, no, I don't hate $0.50. I don't hate.
• 37:51
  So this is what I, I, I, I just $0.50 has a really good book and
• 37:55
  I, I love his book, but. I haven't read it yet.
• 37:59
  I, I just think Diddy. I've always thought Diddy was a
• 38:01
  scumbag though, like, you know, at a, at a like, because I grew
• 38:06
  up during that age, right. You know what I mean?
• 38:08
  The the golden age and I was always like underground backpack
• 38:12
  hip hop. So like when the golden age
• 38:14
  came, even though I'm like a huge biggie fan, I was like, I
• 38:19
  just don't like this puff guy. I think, you know, Puff has for
• 38:22
  me, whatever he goes by now, he has maybe like 5 songs that I'm
• 38:27
  like I'll rock with, but it didn't even hit songs.
• 38:29
  It's like it's somebody else. Like you could have put anybody
• 38:32
  in there, you know what I mean? It's like, yeah, it's like I
• 38:34
  like chocolate milk. I don't care if it's Nestle or
• 38:37
  whatever, I just like chocolate milk, you know?
• 38:38
  So I, I don't know, I it's very scumbaggish ways, you know what
• 38:45
  I mean? And but again, we go back to the
• 38:48
  yes man. We didn't have anybody in your
• 38:49
  corner to be like, hey, bro, you need to like, you know, hey,
• 38:53
  this happened and you can adjust and you can like be better.
• 38:58
  It's no one, no one said anything.
• 39:00
  No one like, you know what I mean?
• 39:01
  And wasn't mindful of everybody else's fucking feelings and, and
• 39:05
  stuff like that. You got to be mindful that stuff
• 39:07
  like scumbag through and through.
• 39:09
  But I also don't like the fact that we're it's on Netflix.
• 39:13
  Do you get what I'm saying? Like I don't like that it's on
• 39:15
  Netflix and like, you know, I don't like it.
• 39:19
  The fact that we like to tear shit down that to that much I
• 39:23
  don't it's not that it's not the exposure, right, but we have a
• 39:26
  whole bunch of other stuff going on in the country that we should
• 39:29
  be making documentary for that's on Netflix and we're not that's
• 39:32
  you know what I mean? That's the real like, you know
• 39:34
  what I mean? Like where are those at?
• 39:35
  Where are those things at? Or where are the positive
• 39:38
  things? You guys like?
• 39:38
  Where's the the positive and this?
• 39:41
  Isn't right here on Here's to You podcast?
• 39:43
  Yeah. This isn't a rant on on any kind
• 39:46
  of streaming service, but it's like I was thinking about that
• 39:49
  on the way in and I was like, dude, you know, like history
• 39:52
  wise, like why don't we have anything that teaches authentic
• 39:56
  history, right, Like we learn history.
• 39:58
  We even teach history in schools to kids and it's like it's not
• 40:04
  100% right. You know what I mean?
• 40:05
  If favors a side, right? If favors a certain side, but
• 40:08
  it's like. Do we, I don't know you guys
• 40:13
  like I can get into like some rabbit hole stuff and then like,
• 40:18
  but I just I don't like that. I don't like that it was on
• 40:20
  Netflix. I don't like that.
• 40:21
  It was like, you know, I don't know, man.
• 40:25
  I just, I know we just have a lot more documentaries that we
• 40:27
  can be writing about other people that have done stuff
• 40:32
  equally as bad, if not worse, you know what I mean?
• 40:35
  And they perpetuate this circle and it's like, go ahead and
• 40:38
  tear. I'm not saying that don't do a
• 40:39
  documentary on. I'm just saying like, where's
• 40:42
  Volume 6? You know what I mean?
• 40:44
  Like, fuck it. Like if we're going to do it,
• 40:45
  run the volume of them. Like Diddy's first one.
• 40:48
  The next one is, you know what I mean?
• 40:50
  And yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 40:52
  Yeah, make a series out of it. And it doesn't just have to be
• 40:54
  Diddy, it needs to be everybody else because there's other
• 40:57
  people in positions that in higher positions, yeah, that
• 41:01
  have that same stuff. And stuff is still coming out
• 41:03
  about it, which is crazy. You know, yeah, yeah, it's
• 41:06
  crazy. I don't have a good transition
• 41:08
  for. This I know.
• 41:09
  I was like dickhead Damiguel with the deepness, no.
• 41:12
  No, I was, I was I there was there was something that you
• 41:15
  said, well, with history, we're not gonna get it 100 and it's
• 41:19
  gonna favor one side. So let's make your Halo
• 41:21
  Margarita. Hey, that was good.
• 41:26
  Hey, what's with that? I felt like with that poor sound
• 41:28
  effect, like I felt like the Gin and Juice song should have keyed
• 41:33
  on. You know what?
• 41:34
  Yeah. You know what I mean?
• 41:38
  Yeah. You said on lighter notes.
• 41:42
  Let's go ahead. Yeah.
• 41:43
  Oh no, we're still going to get deep.
• 41:44
  Yeah, I know, but we're still coming to this.
• 41:48
  So. Oh, yeah, 'cause we're that way.
• 41:50
  We don't get yeah. Here's to you.

  now, and Hangzad is not my friend.
• 42:43
  That's why you should stick with una Vida or try cocktails
• 42:45
  instead of shots. OK, a little bit little.

• 48:34
  for later. So the Halo is just a
• 48:37
  representation of doing good in the world and being, again,
• 48:41
  being mindful. So when you see the Halo, it
• 48:44
  should be like, we're earning our Halo, right?
• 48:46
  So it's like opening the door for somebody saying, hey, have a
• 48:50
  good day or maybe buying somebody coffee.
• 48:52
  Just these small gestures of you putting good into the world,
• 48:56
  right? So I'm just trying to be mindful
• 48:58
  of stuff. No one's perfect.
• 49:00
  I don't want anybody to think that we're like an affiliated
• 49:03
  brand and we're like it's, you know, like, oh, is it a
• 49:08
  religious brand? I guess it could be it just, it
• 49:10
  depends on how you depict it, right?
• 49:13
  But. No, I like the.
• 49:14
  I think the way that you how you positioned it, it doesn't look
• 49:17
  that way. Yeah, to me, and I mean, and
• 49:19
  it's not cuz we're we're it's like.
• 49:21
  Yeah, you got it nice on the. Side like a little hat so it's.
• 49:24
  A sideways hat. So it's a lean on it?
• 49:28
  Yeah, it's got some lean on it. So I got a so have you guys ever
• 49:33
  heard of the like if you get three people to get married that
• 49:39
  you go to heaven is heaven? A what?
• 49:41
  No. There's like this, there's this.
• 49:44
  Like I don't know what religion it's from, but it's like if you
• 49:48
  match make 3 people and they get married that you can like earn
• 49:52
  your way to heaven. So but I've I've done that.

• 52:05
  grabbed it before I pulled up here so.
• 52:07
  Yeah, yeah, you're like I, I orchestrated this whole.
• 52:10
  Thing you said this. This whole thing you call this.
• 52:14
  Bride like a bridezilla. You know, just the Momzilla.
• 52:17
  Or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 52:18
  You'd be like all this, like this speech from was a training
• 52:22
  day. This is me.
• 52:27
  Shut out, Chris. I told Chris I would give him a
• 52:29
  shout out. Chris.
• 52:31
  Yeah, shut up, Chris. I I didn't really tell him I was
• 52:34
  just harassing him, but actually it's crazy that that popped up.
• 52:37
  But yeah. If he does not watch this, he
• 52:40
  better find the exact second that you escape that shout out.
• 52:45
  Yeah, so I'm going to. I might forever.
• 52:47
  Yes. Forever.
• 52:48
  No. So I'm going to clip this and
• 52:51
  I'm going to be like, I'm at him and be like, go find it.
• 52:54
  It's going to be a scavenger. Search and rescue, you got to
• 52:56
  watch the whole thing. No, But yeah, Speaking of search
• 53:02
  and rescue, but maybe not actually, that wasn't a good way
• 53:06
  to segue this question. I wanted to ask like a story
• 53:09
  that you've heard from front steps that really stuck with
• 53:12
  you. A.
• 53:13
  Story from front steps. Yeah, that that came with or
• 53:16
  during sound check that really stuck with you I.
• 53:21
  Think that's a, I'm really, I'm trying to think a like a sound
• 53:31
  check. I guess that's stuck with me.
• 53:33
  I, I think they all kind of stick with me.
• 53:36
  I know this sounds like a very general question, but some I
• 53:40
  think the when you guys were there, I think I think that's
• 53:43
  not, it's not because you you guys are there.
• 53:46
  I think that's my. He said this.
• 53:50
  Yeah. This message is brought to you
• 53:52
  by paid actor. Yeah.
• 53:59
  Paid actor testimony on the bottom.
• 54:01
  I think that that day solidified not it didn't solidify, but
• 54:07
  that's like exactly when I felt like I was really full, like I
• 54:13
  felt what is the term when you're like, you just feel like
• 54:17
  like this is what it's about, right?
• 54:18
  You do like when you're like, oh, I know, I know.
• 54:21
  It's like, I know we. Filming but.
• 54:22
  I it's like we have a ton of work to do.
• 54:25
  We're still new. I get that, but it's like, I'm
• 54:28
  like, this is what it is. This is what it is because it
• 54:31
  was like it started off with you guys that day, but then that day
• 54:33
  transitioned and then it's. Like there were so many.
• 54:36
  People we had and then after you guys left, we still have.
• 54:38
  So we didn't get out of there. Me and Ellie didn't get out of
• 54:40
  there. Ellie's my daughter, by the way.
• 54:41
  Shout out Ellie. Shout out, Ellie.
• 54:44
  That's just, I'm a little sad because today's Sunday and like
• 54:47
  Sunday's like our day and I'm no, no, no, it's fine.
• 54:51
  And it's like I was like kind of, I was like bummed out
• 54:53
  because I was like, I'm picking the Rep after.
• 54:56
  But I was like, oh, I was like, hey, I've got stuff to do.
• 54:59
  I said, you know, yeah. So I just wanted to give her a
• 55:03
  shout out. I was going to give Chris my
• 55:04
  son. I get shout out to my other, my
• 55:08
  real son Miles. Like I hate Ellie, I hate
• 55:12
  Christy. Shout out Miles.
• 55:16
  Middle. Child.
• 55:16
  Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, my first only boy.
• 55:20
  Like, you know what I mean? Like.
• 55:22
  But yeah, I just that day was like, I'm like, all right, this
• 55:26
  is what it's about. And we've had a couple of days
• 55:28
  like that where people, it's like people from that don't know
• 55:31
  each other. And next, you know, they're
• 55:32
  like, can I follow you? Like, what's your Instagram?
• 55:35
  And it's like, this is what it's about.
• 55:37
  Like, how can we replicate this? Like how can we have this every
• 55:40
  day where creatives are coming in and out, meeting each other
• 55:44
  and then maybe picking up their other project, right, because
• 55:47
  like hopefully you guys like met somebody or would meet somebody
• 55:50
  who's been on the sound check or and that's what the support
• 55:53
  system is, right has been on the I don't even know what it is.
• 55:57
  It's not a podcast, right? But if they've been on the show
• 56:03
  and then they bridge a relationship from there, you
• 56:06
  know what I mean? So it's like, again, we're just
• 56:08
  all intertwined. And who are the hosts of that
• 56:10
  because isn't it or I've seen some pretty specific people or
• 56:13
  reoccurring people on there. On the soundtracks.
• 56:17
  Yeah, or so the interview ones that you have.
• 56:20
  So Ruth Roof and vibes, shout out Roof and Vibes.
• 56:24
  She's done the next step. The next step is really weird.
• 56:27
  So it's technically just me. So it's really it's hard because
• 56:32
  it's like I'll have to film it, have to edit it, have to and you
• 56:36
  guys know, you got anybody who is like a creative and they're
• 56:39
  doing their stuff. You can it's easy to have a
• 56:42
  team. It's you can have a team of
• 56:44
  people, but with me, it's like covers or me this.
• 56:47
  And on top of that, I'm already and like we're running a
• 56:49
  clothing brand and we got to worry about drops and I got to
• 56:52
  be a dad and you know what I mean?
• 56:54
  So it turns into a lot, but I don't know where I was going
• 56:57
  from that out outside and help me help me.
• 57:03
  You said Ruth was on there. Yeah, Ruth from vibes.
• 57:06
  Yeah, Ruth from vibes. We got Shayla.
• 57:08
  She's Shay the Jay. She's like her.
• 57:12
  I don't want to say in house DJ 'cause like that's the thing
• 57:16
  about what we're doing. I don't want like ownership of
• 57:19
  anybody, right. So it's like it's not like I'm
• 57:22
  like, oh, like you belong to like the front steps and like
• 57:25
  you're it's like you're she's she's our in house DJ.
• 57:27
  She was on a sound check and then it that her story with with
• 57:34
  us shut out Shay. But I know Shay since she was
• 57:39
  maybe like 13. She's I used to work at the
• 57:42
  mall. She used to come into the mall
• 57:44
  and, you know, years later she was, you know, Instagram, we
• 57:49
  linked up and I'm cool with her sister.
• 57:50
  So like, I linked up with her and I was like, hey, you should
• 57:54
  come in. You're you're kind of doing this
• 57:55
  DJ thing. Like I just think it'd be cool.
• 57:57
  And she was just like mixing at the house.
• 57:59
  And not that I have anything to do with her success or anything
• 58:02
  like that. I don't want anybody to take it.
• 58:04
  So I just want to put that out as a disclaimer.
• 58:06
  But she came in and she was like, yeah, I'm DJ in and stuff
• 58:08
  like that. And I was like, dude, like you
• 58:10
  should DJ in here. But then when I got the new
• 58:12
  office, we have more space. So I was like, Nah, like I'm
• 58:15
  gonna get a DJ booth and then like, you can DJ up here, you
• 58:18
  can just come up on Sundays. And then like, now she's doing
• 58:21
  cool stuff and I'm like, super excited again.
• 58:24
  Not because I'm the reason for her journey, because I don't see
• 58:28
  it that way, that I was just a part of it.
• 58:30
  Yeah, Right. So when she goes off and does
• 58:32
  cool stuff, I would just feel like I don't want to say unk
• 58:36
  right, or uncle or anything like that, but I'm just a lighthouse
• 58:39
  again and being like, oh, like, hey, that's cool.
• 58:41
  Like, you know what I mean? Like, are you doing like, are
• 58:43
  you doing your shit? You know what I mean?
• 58:44
  So yeah, I. Love that.
• 58:47
  So switch your topics though. She she said anyways, anyways.
• 58:53
  Anyways, we're going to talk about other shit now, yeah?
• 58:54
  She said. All that heartfelt shit that
• 58:57
  was. That was cool, that was cool,
• 58:58
  that was cool. Next thing, next thing.
• 59:01
  OK, so I really wanted to talk about music in general and all
• 59:07
  the shit. That's not all the shit, but
• 59:09
  just, you know, some changes. But like, OK, songs and how
• 59:13
  they're super short now, they're like 2 minutes, 30 seconds long.
• 59:18
  There's always like got to be the right hook for something
• 59:21
  they're not. They're not 5 minutes long
• 59:24
  anymore. And like, how much I miss that,
• 59:26
  you know, like the whole storytelling of music has
• 59:28
  changed a bit a bit to some degree.
• 59:31
  There's a lot of artists who are now, you know, leaning towards
• 59:35
  shorter songs. Yeah.
• 59:37
  So our attention span has changed, right, You think?
• 59:40
  So you think that's what it? Is 1000% I think our attention
• 59:43
  span, we just get everything fast.
• 59:47
  We get everything super fast or fast food fast.
• 59:49
  You know you know dude, no one knows how to cook right?
• 59:53
  It's like. I know how to cook.
• 59:56
  Yeah, and well, and rare. Well, did you hear?
• 59:58
  You hear how excited I got when I was like, you grow watermelon?
• 1:00:02
  I was like, you're rude. And that's so crazy because, you
• 1:00:07
  know, like when I was young, my mom had like a garden and she
• 1:00:10
  grew. She didn't grow everything, but
• 1:00:11
  you know. I'm totally lying about this
• 1:00:13
  garden, you guys. I'm very sarcastic.
• 1:00:14
  There's a lot of dry humor here. Yes.
• 1:00:16
  OK. Just remember.
• 1:00:17
  That she didn't really lick my glass, you guys.
• 1:00:20
  She was just kidding with the licking my glass.
• 1:00:24
  She didn't lick my glass. I didn't.
• 1:00:26
  Maybe. That was off camera.
• 1:00:29
  That was off camera. That one was off.
• 1:00:30
  Camera, she said. Run the tape.
• 1:00:32
  Run the tape. No, but yeah.
• 1:00:38
  I think that's, I think that's we just get everything super
• 1:00:41
  fast. So of course we're not going to
• 1:00:45
  have that attention span and people really don't play
• 1:00:47
  instruments anymore. When I went to school for for
• 1:00:51
  music, for music management and actually to be sound engineer,
• 1:00:56
  but that's good luck doing that, you know what I mean?
• 1:00:58
  But you want a school for that? Yeah, to to be a well, I went
• 1:01:01
  school to be sound engineer. Then I transitioned to be like,
• 1:01:04
  eventually I'll be a teacher, right.
• 1:01:05
  So, but I think that's like, I think that's part of it.
• 1:01:11
  I remember my, my teacher was like, no one feels from Germany.
• 1:01:15
  He was like, no one plays instruments anymore.
• 1:01:17
  He was like a big penis from from Germany.
• 1:01:20
  And I was like, OK. And I was like, whatever, man,
• 1:01:22
  he was like all you guys do is like sample music.
• 1:01:24
  And I, I'm like, I always so I feel that.
• 1:01:30
  I hate when people like diss hip hop because it's my culture,
• 1:01:33
  right? And people say that because I
• 1:01:36
  feel like they underline a lot of it.
• 1:01:37
  Right, I like the. Sampling of music yeah.
• 1:01:39
  And they're like all they do is underline.
• 1:01:41
  It's like I, I, I heard that they on there, right.
• 1:01:44
  And it's like I felt like it was capitalized and underlined.
• 1:01:46
  What do you mean by they? But he's always say that.
• 1:01:50
  He's always say like there's no instrumentation anymore.
• 1:01:53
  No one plays music. And I think that's no one plays
• 1:01:58
  instruments, you know what I mean?
• 1:01:59
  You listen to like get down on it by cooling a gang and that's
• 1:02:03
  like a 10 minute, I don't know, 7 minute banger, right?
• 1:02:07
  And you can just like just vibe out to it.
• 1:02:08
  Like I don't want to hear an instrumental.
• 1:02:10
  I do, but not a lot of people want to hear an instrumental for
• 1:02:14
  5 minutes, right? And it's like, how many how, how
• 1:02:17
  much storytelling can you tell in 5 minutes?
• 1:02:20
  But you can go back to like look at like Slick Rick and like even
• 1:02:24
  Kendrick does it right. Kendrick does a really good job
• 1:02:26
  of like this storytelling when you could visually see it.
• 1:02:28
  Nas did it, Biggie, POC, all these people.
• 1:02:31
  But the content sucks. But there's there's people who,
• 1:02:35
  who have good songs, There's good musicians, especially here
• 1:02:37
  in Wichita, tons of musicians that we just don't get the
• 1:02:40
  exposure to. But to answer your question, why
• 1:02:43
  I feel that it's just, it's just our attention span.
• 1:02:47
  Yeah, our attention, our attention span is very short,
• 1:02:49
  so. What do you what do you think?
• 1:02:54
  Yeah, our attention span is super short nowadays.
• 1:02:58
  And yeah, and I agree with him. Like no one plays the
• 1:03:03
  instruments anymore. And then, you know, with how
• 1:03:07
  music is made nowadays, it depends on the goal of that
• 1:03:13
  artist, I guess, as to how that music's going to get made and
• 1:03:18
  what they're trying to project with it or what story they're
• 1:03:20
  trying to tell with it. And a lot of stuff is made for
• 1:03:24
  for TikTok. It is, that's right.
• 1:03:27
  I feel like a lot of it is. That's a big reason, yeah, that
• 1:03:30
  it is 'cause they're looking for like, which is the sound bite
• 1:03:33
  that's gonna go, that's gonna go further.
• 1:03:35
  Because now the way that people get music is so much different.
• 1:03:38
  You don't. A lot of people don't listen to
• 1:03:40
  the whole album, you know They will only listen to specific
• 1:03:43
  songs. That's crazy.
• 1:03:45
  How that's changed? And it's it's that has, you know
• 1:03:49
  what I think really started? It didn't really happen with the
• 1:03:51
  Internet, right. I think it did happen with the
• 1:03:53
  Internet, but it happened when Apple did the the iPod buy a
• 1:03:58
  song $0.99 Yeah. Then I didn't store it.
• 1:04:01
  I didn't, yeah, I didn't care about.
• 1:04:02
  I can just buy the song I want. A long time ago, you had to
• 1:04:05
  remember we talked about album covers and stuff like that.
• 1:04:07
  It's like you had to come up with the whole project.
• 1:04:10
  Now it's like I can just pick what I want.
• 1:04:13
  I can buy everything out of cart.
• 1:04:14
  So it's like when you do that, it's like it winds up costing
• 1:04:18
  you more in the long run, right? And then you don't get exposed
• 1:04:20
  to stuff. I don't know, I came from a like
• 1:04:22
  a culture of like you have to eat everything on your plate
• 1:04:24
  even, right, You know what I mean?
• 1:04:27
  I just, I remember my mom and this, sorry to veer off, but I
• 1:04:33
  remember my mom would like, like I wasn't allowed to leave the
• 1:04:37
  table until I finished my food. And I remember just like I don't
• 1:04:41
  like cantaloupe. Like you can't.
• 1:04:45
  Yeah, I just, I really hate cantaloupe.
• 1:04:49
  You know what? I actually don't like cantaloupe
• 1:04:51
  that much. Yeah, honey, do No wait.
• 1:04:53
  Yeah. No, I like honeydew.
• 1:04:55
  I like honeydew. But for me, so it took me a
• 1:04:59
  minute to realize what cantaloupe was and then I was
• 1:05:01
  like Milan, Milan, that's what that is.
• 1:05:05
  Because that's how I was saying in Spanish, but there is this
• 1:05:10
  ice cream, it's like an ice cream sundae, but it's called
• 1:05:13
  Tobionico. And this one Paleteria ice cream
• 1:05:19
  store would put cantaloupe in it.
• 1:05:25
  And I know it's getting hard. It's getting hard 'cause I have
• 1:05:29
  to say it in English. It's getting hard.
• 1:05:31
  It's. Getting hard translation.
• 1:05:34
  And I'm like the word, the word, the word.
• 1:05:36
  Well, anyways, no. So the spaletteria would put a
• 1:05:40
  lot of cantaloupe in it. And I remember that I was just
• 1:05:43
  like, I can't have cantaloupe anymore.
• 1:05:45
  I hate it. It's the worst thing in my life
• 1:05:48
  and it ruined it for me. I.
• 1:05:50
  Agree with you on that. Yeah, Cantaloupe.
• 1:05:53
  But yeah, but I like, I like honeydew.
• 1:05:55
  Yeah, watermelon. Watermelon.

• 1:06:11
  Yeah, but. It Yeah, that has a grape that
• 1:06:14
  looks like a grape, but it has hair and it's red.
• 1:06:16
  No, it's not. It's a Rampu 10, yeah.
• 1:06:19
  Those are. They look like sea urchins.
• 1:06:21
  Yeah, that's what they remind me of.
• 1:06:22
  That's what. They remind me of.
• 1:06:24
  Sea urchins and which also reminds me of surfs up the
• 1:06:27
  movie. It's I haven't seen that.
• 1:06:29
  One, OK, it's a dumb movie. It's a it's about Penguins

• 1:07:26
  around here. We don't fuck around.
• 1:07:30
  You're like the vibe, the vibe, the vibe I'm trying to curate is
• 1:07:34
  not that dusty, so you're not going to be allowed in the steps
• 1:07:37
  anymore. Dusty, like, you can tell, like
• 1:07:40
  he was like, OK, here we go. I like it.
• 1:07:46
  I like cantaloupe. I'm sorry.
• 1:07:50
  Yeah, and we also don't fuck with.
• 1:07:51
  Or we do. I guess some people fuck with
• 1:07:53
  cantaloupe, but we also don't fuck with the songs that are two
• 1:07:56
  minutes 30 seconds. Yeah, we don't.
• 1:07:58
  Yeah, I. Thought you were going to say
• 1:07:59
  Pickles. Oh yeah, You don't like Pickles?
• 1:08:01
  I don't like Pickles. You don't just keep my man.
• 1:08:10
  Switch the sides. I said anytime.
• 1:08:13
  You are welcome. Now how do you not?
• 1:08:14
  You don't really like Pickles? I don't like.
• 1:08:16
  Pickles at all That's crazy. Like there's like pickle that
• 1:08:19
  you. I like cucumber OK.
• 1:08:21
  I don't like Pickles. That's like people who don't
• 1:08:23
  like tomatoes, but then they're like, I love ketchup.
• 1:08:26
  Yeah, yeah. Those people are weird, though.
• 1:08:27
  No, nothing like me. Yeah, yeah, nothing like me.
• 1:08:32
  Because. Because the way that you make
• 1:08:35
  the Pickles is in the vinegar juice.
• 1:08:37
  So you don't like vinegar juice? I like vinegar, so like, I like
• 1:08:42
  when jalapenos are in them. Yeah.
• 1:08:44
  That's you know and have you? Put the Pickles inside of the
• 1:08:47
  jalapeno. Juice.
• 1:08:48
  No, because I don't like Pickles.
• 1:08:51
  Just trying to warm you up. Trying to warm you up, baby.
• 1:08:55
  Yeah, he said. Actually, you know what?
• 1:08:57
  I love Pickles. Yeah.
• 1:08:59
  I can try. I can try again.
• 1:09:00
  So our taste buds change every seven years.
• 1:09:03
  So sometimes after a while I'll be like, OK, maybe I will like
• 1:09:08
  the certain food that I don't like, I didn't like before.
• 1:09:11
  So I'll try it. I give things a chance.
• 1:09:13
  That literally just put fear in my heart that I would just go
• 1:09:15
  back to loving like or go back to cantaloupe.
• 1:09:18
  You know. What I mean I was like 7 years
• 1:09:22
  and I was like would I like cantaloupe?
• 1:09:25
  I can't. Like it's bad, like I can't even
• 1:09:26
  have it. Hate cantaloupe?
• 1:09:28
  Like I can't even have it in the fridge.
• 1:09:30
  Why? Yeah, because like, I can smell
• 1:09:32
  it. Like I don't even like.
• 1:09:33
  This. OK, well what was the reason
• 1:09:34
  that you don't like cantaloupe? I think my mom made me eat it
• 1:09:38
  when I was younger, but I just don't.
• 1:09:46
  It gives me like anxiety, like when I'm like, can I'm like,
• 1:09:50
  woo, alright. You know, like it's like if I go
• 1:09:55
  to like Quick Trip and they have little fruit cups and I'm like,
• 1:09:58
  I guess I get it. And I'm like, that's a big piece
• 1:10:05
  of candy. Yeah, you guys.
• 1:10:07
  OK OK because this is where it's yours off for me so I don't hate
• 1:10:12
  hate it as much as you. I don't always enjoy it but I
• 1:10:16
  will fuck with cantaloupe water because I want them alone but
• 1:10:19
  it's really good so like I will drink cantaloupe water.
• 1:10:24
  What's the ice creams like the? The Peletas.
• 1:10:27
  Yeah, they're like the Peletas, but with the the square ones
• 1:10:30
  that you eat from Costco. They're Americanized ones.
• 1:10:34
  I'll eat one like that. Oh, OK, I'll I'll eat a little
• 1:10:37
  Malone one like that and I'm like, yeah, yeah, but it's but I
• 1:10:41
  feel like it doesn't taste like. Yeah.
• 1:10:44
  Oh, 'cause regular cantaloupe like fresh cut.
• 1:10:47
  Oof, yeah. Yeah, what else don't you like?
• 1:10:50
  I think that's it. I'm a big guy, you know what I
• 1:10:53
  mean? Like there's not a lot of stuff
• 1:10:54
  that I don't like, and I'll try anything.
• 1:10:56
  I'm like, man, let's try it. You know what I mean?
• 1:10:58
  Yeah. Yeah, yeah, haters.
• 1:11:00
  You said you didn't like haters. Yeah, actually, I don't.
• 1:11:03
  I don't. I don't dislike haters, you know
• 1:11:07
  what I mean? It's just because they just, I
• 1:11:09
  think a lot of people who hate stuff, they just haven't
• 1:11:14
  educated themselves and they haven't educated themselves
• 1:11:17
  enough, you know what I mean? I think they just haven't they,
• 1:11:20
  they haven't kind of so checked, right.
• 1:11:23
  Yeah. Like, you know, like
• 1:11:25
  mindfulness, mindfulness, you know, So.
• 1:11:28
  Yeah. I had love yourself regulation.
• 1:11:30
  Yeah, thank you. But that's, I think that's it.
• 1:11:34
  It's like, I don't hate anybody and like, and I don't because
• 1:11:38
  then it would be like, I hate haters.
• 1:11:41
  What? What is that?
• 1:11:42
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, it's contradictory.
• 1:11:43
  I. Mean you didn't.
• 1:11:44
  You didn't really like, you didn't really fuck with $0.50.
• 1:11:47
  Yeah, I hit it and he's. A big hater.
• 1:11:50
  I like $0.50 though, you know what I mean?
• 1:11:52
  I just don't like what he's doing.
• 1:11:53
  You didn't like what? I don't like your actions,
• 1:11:54
  buddy. Right now I don't like your
• 1:11:56
  actions. Yeah, that's what it is.
• 1:11:58
  We don't like certain actions, so we don't like certain
• 1:12:01
  actions, Yeah. Were you thinking of Melona's?
• 1:12:04
  Melona's. Yeah, blue rapper.
• 1:12:07
  What is? What is that, Melona's bro?
• 1:12:11
  Have you had those before? No.
• 1:12:13
  They are incredible, those hits. It's the best ice cream ever.
• 1:12:17
  Let me tell you. I've never had.
• 1:12:20
  These many different fruit flavors, so if you don't like
• 1:12:24
  cantaloupe you can pick banana or this or watermelon.
• 1:12:28
  This is what you do, OK? You get the kids in there and
• 1:12:33
  then you'd be like, yeah, you want ice cream and then you
• 1:12:36
  grab. I don't think there's a, a mango
• 1:12:39
  1. You get yourself the mango one
• 1:12:40
  and then you get them the melon one and then you just take a
• 1:12:44
  bite, all right. And then you give it to the kid,
• 1:12:46
  the bitten one to the kid. And you like for tax, That's
• 1:12:50
  what it is for tax, you know, And then it's kind of like a,
• 1:12:55
  it's like a, when people do venom for a rattlesnake, it kind
• 1:12:58
  of builds up a tolerance of Malone.
• 1:13:04
  It makes sense. Yeah, it makes sense.
• 1:13:06
  Yeah. Yes, I think, I think that is
• 1:13:08
  the way to Yeah. I mean, and and then you have to
• 1:13:12
  tax the kids on everything. Oh yeah.
• 1:13:14
  Because why wouldn't you? You said, hey, that's what.
• 1:13:17
  Yeah, I mean, they got to learn young.
• 1:13:20
  Automatically you got to yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:13:22
  They need us like this whole thing of like us making their
• 1:13:25
  lives easier. We got to stop doing it.
• 1:13:27
  We got to tax them. Yeah, automatically.
• 1:13:29
  Yeah, soon as they're at the womb tax.
• 1:13:32
  What do you mean you can't? You can't walk?
• 1:13:33
  Yeah, that's ridiculous, dude. Bootstraps.
• 1:13:36
  Yeah, yeah. Like, come on, stand up, you
• 1:13:38
  can't hold your head up. Right.
• 1:13:40
  Oh man, they said. I thought I had a kid on my
• 1:13:42
  head. I don't know what this.
• 1:13:44
  I don't know what this is. OK, OK, here's the other thing.
• 1:13:47
  Imagine doing this and your head and your and you can't connect
• 1:13:52
  your hands because your head is too big for like your head is
• 1:13:56
  too big so you can't connect. Those are babies.
• 1:14:01
  Do that to a baby. If you put their little arms
• 1:14:05
  around like this, it'll be like this for them.
• 1:14:10
  You said who has a baby out there that we can.
• 1:14:15
  Guys, it's real. People at home, grab your baby
• 1:14:19
  and the DMS and the comments. I need you to let us know this
• 1:14:24
  is a real thing. It's a real thing.
• 1:14:26
  It's a real thing because I've done it.
• 1:14:31
  She said. She said hey girl, I need you to
• 1:14:33
  bring that baby over and. This is the type of ants that I
• 1:14:38

• 1:14:41
  No, no problem. I'm.
• 1:14:43
  Bringing experiments on those bad boys.
• 1:14:47
  He said why do you have a lab coat on?
• 1:14:49
  He said don't worry about it. What time are you picking him
• 1:14:51
  up? He said you guys feel free to
• 1:14:53
  stay out a little bit later. We're doing a lot of Freud over
• 1:14:56
  here. Don't kid learn to walk after
• 1:15:00
  this, Yeah? She said she just started
• 1:15:02
  walking. I don't know.

  Yeah, I don't know. Just injected them.
• 1:15:12
  I have 3 kids. I don't have kids.
• 1:15:15
  It's. Funny, that's why I shouldn't be
• 1:15:18
  allowed to procreate. No, kids are kids are beautiful
• 1:15:23
  things. I thought I had this on do not
• 1:15:25
  disturb. I apologize.
• 1:15:27
  That's so rude. Let me see who's texting me.
• 1:15:34
  It's just dusty. Nothing fancy.
• 1:15:41
  Nothing fancy. OK, No.
• 1:15:44
  You are the reason I drink. Wow, Yeah, you like that one?
• 1:15:52

  That one's a really good one. My sound effect board has grown
• 1:16:03
  tenfold. Oh, I'm excited.
• 1:16:05
  I'm excited. There he he'd be pressing out
• 1:16:07
  some new ones out of nowhere. Yeah, I watched the episode
• 1:16:09
  where you got the sound sound board, and I was like, oh, you
• 1:16:12
  have like the Undertaker sound. Yeah.
• 1:16:15
  And I was like, ah, that's what's up.
• 1:16:18
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

  So do you think it sounds like the Taco Bell?
• 1:16:23
  Yeah, sound. Oh yeah, that was also on the
• 1:16:27
  episode. Did you see the difference?
• 1:16:29
  What is it? It's just pitched up.
• 1:16:31
  Yeah. It's just pitched up, right?
• 1:16:32
  Yeah. Or the other ones pitched down.
• 1:16:34
  Yeah, one of them. That's cool, Dusty, You need to
• 1:16:37
  make a sound for us. I don't know.
• 1:16:41
  I don't, I don't know what it would be but like.
• 1:16:42
  I don't know what it would be. But like you had to, but that,
• 1:16:45
  that was cool. That was you.
• 1:16:46
  Won't Frannie's laugh? That's no, that's that's it.
• 1:16:52
  That's it. No, actually, you know what's
• 1:16:55
  worse is like my laugh gets worse with certain friends
• 1:16:58
  because I have friends who have really bad laughs like that.
• 1:17:03
  I make fun of him so much and so that I start to laugh like that.
• 1:17:06
  And. Like, like one of them.
• 1:17:09
  He laughs like a witch. Junior, shout out Junior.
• 1:17:13
  He's always like, oh, he was at the he was at my.
• 1:17:16
  Did you hear him laugh? I don't remember.
• 1:17:18
  You would have remembered. Memorable moment.
• 1:17:21
  Yeah, it's a memorable moment because.
• 1:17:23
  He's very like. Can't miss it.
• 1:17:27
  Can't. Do it.
• 1:17:28
  I can't wait. Out cackles like a witch.
• 1:17:31
  You're very much like a. Witch very hocus pocus.
• 1:17:33
  It's giving hocus pocus. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:17:36
  No. OK.
• 1:17:37
  So I think this is a great time for us to switch into lightning
• 1:17:41
  Ground. Yeah.
• 1:17:43
  So this is it's like that. It's like that.
• 1:17:45
  It's like that. Sorry.
• 1:17:48
  And like that too. And that's yes.
• 1:17:52
  That's hilarious. That's Junior's love.
• 1:17:56
  I said that to him. Literally called witches
• 1:18:00
  laughing. I must send that to him because
• 1:18:02
  that that was it. That was it.
• 1:18:03
  So we're going to do lightning ground.
• 1:18:05
  So this is where we ask you a bunch of lightning type
• 1:18:08
  questions and then we'll kind of just bounce back and forth and
• 1:18:11
  you can. After the liquor, I get it, I
• 1:18:13
  get it, I get it now, he said. Ah, it's got a little
• 1:18:16
  heavy-handed on this. He said.
• 1:18:18
  Time for the laughing round. Yes, yes, things come coming off
• 1:18:23
  the off the cuff for you. So one song that always grounds
• 1:18:27
  you. Oh, isn't she lovely, Stevie
• 1:18:29
  Wonder? Yeah, It's a it's about his
• 1:18:34
  daughter. It's a beautiful song.
• 1:18:36
  Yeah. He like, if you listen to the
• 1:18:38
  audio on is she lovely? It's actually his daughter.
• 1:18:41
  He like recorded that. He.
• 1:18:43
  It was like one of the first portable recorders and he like
• 1:18:47
  took it home while they're giving his daughter a bath.
• 1:18:49
  Yeah. So it's just in that song, it's
• 1:18:51
  just about her. And it's like.
• 1:18:53
  Yeah. So that's.
• 1:18:54
  Yeah, it's like, I don't know. Yeah, Lightning round.
• 1:18:56
  That's it. That's the.
• 1:18:57
  First, yeah, I love that. For creatives who feel blocked,
• 1:19:00
  what's one way to start telling their story again?
• 1:19:05
  Just do it. That's it.
• 1:19:08
  Just just put it into action. I think a lot of people get like
• 1:19:12
  choice paralysis or they get some sort of paralysis where
• 1:19:15
  they don't want to move and they start overthinking it that
• 1:19:17
  thought paralysis. So just just do it, you know,
• 1:19:21
  find somewhere, find somewhere safe, find somewhere safe.
• 1:19:25
  And just, I think it helps being surrounding yourself with people
• 1:19:28
  who want to see you when, yeah, that makes it a little bit
• 1:19:31
  easier, especially when you get into like, dark alleys in your
• 1:19:33
  mind, you know? For sure, for sure.
• 1:19:37
  Finish this sentence Community starts when?
• 1:19:45
  Run it. Run it back one more time.
• 1:19:47
  Finish the sentence community starts when.
• 1:19:52
  When everybody starts working together, I think that's, yeah,
• 1:19:55
  when you start seeing value in each other.
• 1:19:59
  Because there's things that I'm I'm good at and I do a lot of
• 1:20:01
  things, but I'm not. Great at I'm not great at
• 1:20:04
  everything. So, you know, everybody's seen
• 1:20:07
  value because everybody has value to them.
• 1:20:09
  Even people who feel like I don't, I don't have any value.
• 1:20:12
  Like you can do something, right.
• 1:20:13
  So I think that's it. It's again, being mindful of, of
• 1:20:17
  people, meeting people where they're at and just, and just, I
• 1:20:23
  don't know, doing that. Just when you see value in
• 1:20:25
  people, you know what I mean? And again, they don't have to
• 1:20:29
  like, oh, they can get me to this point, right?
• 1:20:32
  I think we start putting weight on that.
• 1:20:33
  It's like, well, I need this person to be my friend because
• 1:20:36
  they would help me do this and do all that.
• 1:20:38
  Just like, you know, everybody has value.
• 1:20:41
  So just, you know, people recognize you recognizing the
• 1:20:43
  value in yourself as well as recognizing the value in other
• 1:20:46
  people. You know, so not that people are
• 1:20:51
  monetary. Is that the word I'm looking
• 1:20:53
  for? Like where it's like, yeah,
• 1:20:55
  things don't need to be transactional, but you know,
• 1:20:58
  everybody has value, so. Morning creative or late night?
• 1:21:02
  Late night thinker. Shit late night thinker.
• 1:21:07
  So this is my schedule. You guys all right, The schedule
• 1:21:11
  is crazy, all right, So it's. I wake up at 7:00 and then I run
• 1:21:17
  or like, I don't run. I do not run.
• 1:21:19
  My mind runs. Let me tell you inside this mind
• 1:21:21
  fit, this is expensive. Yeah, this is Yeah, If my mind
• 1:21:28
  was running triathlon, you know what I mean?
• 1:21:30
  That's so. Spartan.
• 1:21:34
  He said yeah, what is it? What's the the the tribe that
• 1:21:38
  runs with no shoes for like? In Chihuahua Mexican.
• 1:21:42
  Yeah, I think so. The Oh my God, I can't think of
• 1:21:47

  That's like that's like that's my son's song.
• 1:24:16
  Like when he was little that that's like the song.
• 1:24:18
  You know what I mean? Like these are songs that remind
• 1:24:20
  me of them. But if it's like songs that I'm
• 1:24:23
  like, if I was to go, what song that I would want you guys to
• 1:24:27
  listen to that were reminding me, remind you of me, I think it
• 1:24:32
  would be People Under the Stairs Jamboree Part 2.
• 1:24:35
  Like, so it's like if I go. So this is like morbid time.
• 1:24:39
  All right? You're probably just like, hell
• 1:24:42
  yeah. Time.
• 1:24:43
  Like you've been playing a safe drink.
• 1:24:45
  Drink up. Yeah, drink up things.
• 1:24:48
  Have been a little too safe here.
• 1:24:49
  Yeah, so, so I already have like, it's weird.
• 1:24:53
  I already have like, so I was on another podcast and like, I
• 1:24:57
  start talking like this and they were like, oh, I felt like they
• 1:25:00
  were like, hey, bro, you all right?
• 1:25:02
  And I'm like, I'm fucking fine, bro.
• 1:25:04
  Yeah, it's. Because you weren't around weird
• 1:25:06
  people. Yeah, so I think what I think
• 1:25:08
  what it is, is like you. And so I just made a post like a
• 1:25:11
  couple of days ago and it was like everyone's like, hey bro, I
• 1:25:13
  just want to make sure you're all right.
• 1:25:14
  I'm like, I'm talking perfectly fine.
• 1:25:16
  Like I, I feel like I have to have those conversations to stay
• 1:25:19
  fine. Like I have to be realistic with
• 1:25:21
  myself and realistic what, what I feel that people need to hear,
• 1:25:26
  IE people me being myself. Like I need to be honest with
• 1:25:30
  myself and instead of being like everything's all right, like
• 1:25:34
  everything, I have to have real talks with myself.
• 1:25:37
  But like I've already made the playlist.
• 1:25:39
  I got 5 tracks on there and it's like like if something happens
• 1:25:43
  like that's the, that's my playlist, it's my 55 songs.
• 1:25:48
  I'm done and I'm out. Damn.
• 1:25:49
  So yeah, you know what I mean. Display your body like a lying.
• 1:25:54
  Around yeah, you know the reason, The reason why I did
• 1:25:58
  this is because you can, like you can get your ashes, put in a
• 1:26:02
  record. Yes, I heard.
• 1:26:04
  That So I was like, I thought about that.
• 1:26:07
  So I was like. That's.
• 1:26:08
  Cool you can do and you can do 5 songs so it's like I'll tell you
• 1:26:12

• 1:26:19

• 1:26:22
  But well, you all have to send us pics and then we can do it.
• 1:26:26
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. So this is let me see, let me
• 1:26:28

• 1:26:31
  it. And then the playlist is called
• 1:26:34
  If I Should Die tonight. All right, So these are the six
• 1:26:38
  songs. All right, Never can Say Goodbye
• 1:26:41
  by the Jackson 5 Sapo. I can't make it.
• 1:26:45
  Isn't she lovely? He's on there by Stevie Wonder,
• 1:26:48
  Don't Cry by Jay Dilla. So very hard to go by Tower of
• 1:26:54
  Power. Don't let no one get you down by
• 1:26:59
  war and then do better by Absol. That's it.
• 1:27:02
  Which is weird that the Absol just crept on there.
• 1:27:04
  That's my surprise. That's my surprise song.
• 1:27:06
  You know, it's like, what song will people be surprised?
• 1:27:08
  It's on your playlist. Yeah, it's a morbid playlist,
• 1:27:10
  but yeah, it's like Absol do better.
• 1:27:12
  Yeah. So I.
• 1:27:13
  Didn't know you can make yourself into a record.
• 1:27:14
  That's cool. You can make yourself into a
• 1:27:16
  tree, and that's what I want to be.
• 1:27:18
  Yeah, that was my other route. Mine's a.
• 1:27:20
  Tree, if I'm with the record route, you know, I had my last
• 1:27:22
  song pick too. It was gonna sound something
• 1:27:24
  like this. I knew what he ate for lunch.
• 1:27:35
  Because I know my family and friends will get a kick out of
• 1:27:38
  it. Well, he got us one last time.
• 1:27:42
  The man of times a dusty yes. Would you would you like prep it
• 1:27:48
  up like we prep it up with a speech?
• 1:27:50
  Like, Hey, you guys just Dusty and you know, I just wanted to
• 1:27:53
  tell you guys I love you, but I wanted to leave you guys with
• 1:27:55
  this song. And then they'll be like this,
• 1:27:59
  you know, And then you'll be like gotcha looks.
• 1:28:06
  So Dusty, you bitch. Jesus Christ.
• 1:28:10
  Oh my God. OK, so are you stricter about
• 1:28:13
  playlists or screen time with your kids?
• 1:28:18
  What do you mean like playlist? Yeah.
• 1:28:19
  Like it sounds like you're, would you be stricter around
• 1:28:21
  like the music that they listen to like and what type of music
• 1:28:24
  that they're like going to be listening to or screen time like
• 1:28:27
  I'm making sure that they're getting off of.
• 1:28:29
  Oh, that's, that's, that's a hard one because I think the
• 1:28:32
  music that you listen to, what you visually see gets into you a
• 1:28:37
  lot faster, right? I got like some.
• 1:28:42
  Saliva. Sugar.
• 1:28:43
  I got some saliva. Sugar Like Sugar Water, Men in
• 1:28:49
  Black, I think playlist I think because if you can, music can be
• 1:28:55
  therapy to people, right? So if you can instill the right
• 1:28:59
  songs that can get them through a lot of stuff.
• 1:29:03
  They're going to be up, they're going to see a lot of stuff,
• 1:29:05
  right? But if you can input the right
• 1:29:08
  songs, they can go down the rabbit hole that might lead him
• 1:29:13
  out of something, you know what I mean?
• 1:29:14
  So yeah, because there's some music that my dad, like, put me
• 1:29:17
  up on and I'm like, I'm like, oh shit, like I wish you were alive
• 1:29:21
  now so I can be like, damn, hey, this is a banger, bro.
• 1:29:23
  Like, you know what I mean? Like I didn't and.
• 1:29:25
  Then be able to actually appreciate it because you're
• 1:29:27
  right. Like there's A and when you're
• 1:29:28
  first young, you're just like, Oh my God, It means that I gotta
• 1:29:31
  get up hearing that song. Yeah.
• 1:29:33
  Or it means that like, oh, the fabuloso.
• 1:29:35
  I mean, whatever. You know what I mean?
• 1:29:37
  Like it. Oh, my dad's home.
• 1:29:39
  But now as you're older and you have more wisdom and more
• 1:29:44
  experiences under your pocket, you're like, damn, that hits
• 1:29:48
  deep now. What were you, what was he
• 1:29:50
  feeling? Yeah.
• 1:29:51
  What were you feeling that that was your song?
• 1:29:54
  I remember my mom, like when my parents split, they, she
• 1:29:58
  listened to Brenda, Brenda Russell's Piano in the Dark.
• 1:30:03
  And like, I now it's real hard for me to listen to.
• 1:30:06
  I think this is another reason why I started doing started
• 1:30:09
  doing playlists too, because I used to just do like Sunday
• 1:30:11
  cleaning sessions just like 1 song and then that was it.
• 1:30:16
  It was just like one song. I'm like, hey, you guys should
• 1:30:17
  probably check this song out. And I remember I did like I
• 1:30:20
  listened to that song and I was like, fuck dude, like knowing
• 1:30:23
  now you know, and having years and experiences underneath my
• 1:30:27
  belt, like damn, I was like, damn, my mom was like really
• 1:30:30
  like not she was fucked up. Like when my parents like, you
• 1:30:32
  know what I mean, 'cause I was like, she listened to that song.
• 1:30:34
  I remember she's listening to repeat and I'm like, song's a
• 1:30:36
  banger. But I'm like, fuck, like the
• 1:30:38
  context of the song and the song was popping when when they
• 1:30:41
  split. So it made sense.
• 1:30:43
  It like was that that tracks, right?
• 1:30:45
  But I'm like, damn. Like she was, she was going
• 1:30:47
  through it. It's like the Spotify rapped.
• 1:30:49
  It's like no one knew that you were going through it.
• 1:30:52
  And then Spotify we did we. Knew in your business they said
• 1:30:55
  screen time. Check your screen time.
• 1:30:58
  Spotify was like, you listen to this song like I, I love it,
• 1:31:05
  though. I love those analytics.
• 1:31:07
  Like they were like, On this date, you listen to music for 10
• 1:31:11
  hours straight and I'm like, yeah, that was a rough day.
• 1:31:13
  Well, and that that's the crazy thing with me, like that's
• 1:31:16
  that's the crazy thing. It's like I'll find I'm not sure
• 1:31:19
  if you guys are similar to this. They said it's like it's like
• 1:31:22
  you're autistic. Is that is that all right?
• 1:31:25
  Is you're like autistic? Like I'll listen to one song.
• 1:31:27
  People are like, what's on your playlist?
• 1:31:28
  And I still make playlists. You know, we got like hidden
• 1:31:31
  playlists that that I have, but it's like I'll listen to one
• 1:31:35
  song all day. Oh, I was about to ask you that,
• 1:31:39
  but then I decided not to ask you that because I was like all
• 1:31:42
  day. Are you a repeat playlist or is
• 1:31:44
  it a song? Yeah, it's it's one song.
• 1:31:46
  I'll listen. I'll find one song and then I'll
• 1:31:47
  just listen to it. Yeah, all day.
• 1:31:50
  Like it's there's a song. What was it?
• 1:31:53
  It was on my wrap up, but it was DAMS.
• 1:31:58
  It's like KBKB 9 and just something about just the
• 1:32:02
  storytelling in that song and like, and I was like, oh, I
• 1:32:05
  listen to it a lot. Home Improvement by Alchemist
• 1:32:08
  and Hit Boy, like just the context of what they're what
• 1:32:11
  they talk about in that. I'm just like man, like it's
• 1:32:17
  just on repeat. And then I'll next, you know,
• 1:32:18
  it's like I'm like, damn, I listen to this.
• 1:32:21
  I think it said that I was like, point, what's it .03 of?
• 1:32:25
  Like they're listening for that song.
• 1:32:26
  And I was like, I don't even know what I don't even know.
• 1:32:28
  I don't even know what the math is on.
• 1:32:30
  That yeah, yeah, you're like. You're welcome.
• 1:32:33
  You're welcome. Yeah, they said.
• 1:32:37
  Hey, I shot out something little sound.
• 1:32:39
  Check what you want to fall out. They won't fall onto the sound
• 1:32:43
  check. No.
• 1:32:47
  Yeah. It was like, that's crazy to me.
• 1:32:48
  Like to be like. But that's how I am to answer
• 1:32:51
  that question. Yeah, I just.
• 1:32:53
  I'm gonna repeat. That's awesome, I love it.
• 1:32:57
  What's a girl dad superpower you didn't know you had?
• 1:33:01
  Girl dad superpower that I didn't know I had.
• 1:33:06
  So my daughter's birthday is on the 29th of September and then
• 1:33:10
  mines is on the 30th. So crazy story.
• 1:33:13
  Story time with Miguel of course.
• 1:33:16
  So my son and my daughter, 2 separate moms right?
• 1:33:22
  But like they were both born in the same room at the hospital.
• 1:33:28
  Isn't that crazy? That is.
• 1:33:29
  Yeah, like both at Wesley. I think it's like room number 7
• 1:33:34
  or something like that. I took a picture of it and I was
• 1:33:36
  like, this room fucking feels familiar.
• 1:33:39
  And they both were born there. But me and my daughter and my
• 1:33:41
  son has definitely a special bond, but he's 18 now.
• 1:33:45
  So he's like phased out at a special bond.
• 1:33:47
  It's like now it's like got to got to, you know, it's your own,
• 1:33:51
  you got to find your own bond. You know what I mean?
• 1:33:53
  But when my daughter, yeah. So we're automatically close
• 1:33:58
  because our birthdays are two like a day apart, basically like
• 1:34:01
  a few hours. But superpowers, I don't know,
• 1:34:05
  just I don't want to say like letting her have her way.
• 1:34:08
  Like I'm very mindful of my daughter.
• 1:34:11
  I keep using mindful, but I'm very mindful.
• 1:34:13
  Like I want my daughter to be a good whatever, right?
• 1:34:18
  Whether she has like a wife or husband or whatever the case, I
• 1:34:22
  want her to be a good partner for somebody.
• 1:34:25
  So I'm very mindful and that's like my superpowers, like making
• 1:34:30
  sure that I'm getting her prepped up for to be a good
• 1:34:33
  partner. And being a good partner doesn't
• 1:34:36
  mean that you're serving somebody.
• 1:34:37
  Yeah. No, it doesn't.
• 1:34:38
  It's it's like a partnership you're talking.
• 1:34:40
  About yeah, just being mindful of people, you know what I mean,
• 1:34:43
  being the surrounding how to introduce herself, like she's at
• 1:34:47
  the office, all that she works for her desk at the office
• 1:34:50
  elevator service. So just having her be mindful
• 1:34:55
  just so that's, I guess that would be my superpower, if that
• 1:34:57
  is a superpower, you know, I just to be honest, she's my
• 1:35:01
  kryptonite. Do you know what I mean?
• 1:35:03
  So like, like all super powers are like, like, let me tell you,
• 1:35:07
  they do not work. I'm like, OK, you know what I
• 1:35:12
  mean? OK.
• 1:35:12
  I'm like, she's like, Dad, can you do that?
• 1:35:14
  Like, no, God, I guess we can, you know?
• 1:35:18
  You know, that's yeah. But that's yeah.
• 1:35:20
  She would be my kryptonite, to be completely honest.
• 1:35:22
  Yeah, Dusty, you got 1. OK, so we've now heard a little
• 1:35:28
  bit about both you, your stories, your passions and your
• 1:35:31
