1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: Through juicing and just eating clean and exercise, and I

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: was able to lose a lot of weight. And then

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: besides losing the weight, I actually started seeing that I

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: used to have exam post Nazel drip, cyanaiis horrible temper

5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: and all of those.

6
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 2: Things seem to go away with loving a healthy lifestyle.

7
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: So I found it important to bring it back to

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: my neighborhood and tell people.

22
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 3: to open our season and she talked about what was

23
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 3: going on with life after her memoir. It's really interesting

24
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 3: for me to know what the behind the scenes is.

25
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 3: People write these books all the time about who they are,

26
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 3: what they are, how life is, and we never really

27
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 3: follow up with them once it's all said and done.

28
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 3: So I appreciate my girl for coming on and telling

29
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 3: me more about life after uphill. Our second episode thus

30
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 3: far was Kirk Franklin, and you could tell I was

31
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 3: a fan, giddy as can be. I love me some

32
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 3: Kurk Franklin. He can do no wrong. And I also

33
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 3: I mean for me, that's the song I listened to

34
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 3: clean up the house. That's the song that I would

35
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 3: listen to with my mom on the drives to and

36
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 3: fro school. I still listen to him to this day.

37
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 3: He's narrated a lot of my life, for better and

38
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 3: for worse in terms of if I'm in a good

39
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 3: space or a bad space. So I was really excited

40
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 3: to have him on a Hope that blessed you all.

41
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 3: And then we go from Kirk Franklin to the Locks today.

42
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 3: How do we do that? That's what you do with

43
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 3: naked David R. Styles on the show. You guys know

44
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 3: him Style P. He is a member of the Locks

45
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 3: and you guys remember I think arguably the most recent

46
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 3: versus battle that he had he the Locks Jadakis chic

47
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 3: that they had against Dips. That was really popular, really popular.

48
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 3: In fact, most people said that was the best there

49
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 3: ever was in terms of New York hip hop and

50
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 3: what it looked like. So today on the podcast, I

51
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 3: talked to Styles about obviously versus I'm sure you all

52
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 3: have heard his thoughts on that, but more importantly we

53
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 3: get into his new lifestyle. Styles new lifestyle which is

54
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 3: fairly old if you ask him, He's been doing it

55
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 3: for the better part of two decades. But he truly

56
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 3: is on a mission to make sure that the culture,

57
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 3: whether that be hip hop culture, black and brown people,

58
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 3: that we are healthy mind, body, and spirit. He and

59
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 3: his wife have several businesses, several collaborations. He is vegan,

60
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 3: he's plant based. Wasn't always raised that way, but listening

61
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 3: to him talk about when he decided to eat better,

62
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 3: how it changed his life, how he noticed that he

63
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 3: didn't have ezema anymore, how he had a better temperament.

64
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 3: You all know about his temper. He had been in

65
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 3: and out of jail. He had had a quick temper

66
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 3: all of the things that you would think would be

67
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 3: just because you couldn't control your emotions. And he said

68
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 3: he realized that he had a chemical imbalance. And to me,

69
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: that's profound because oftentimes doctors will medicate you and give

70
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 3: you pills to take, as opposed to saying, hey, you

71
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 3: ever think about getting rid of cheese or not eating

72
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 3: red meat in your diet? And I am not want

73
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 3: to tell you I sit here and need healthy. I

74
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 3: in moderation. But I did feel motivated by talking to him.

75
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 3: He had a very easy spirit. I hope that you

76
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 3: guys can sit back and appreciate it. I do know

77
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 3: that there are things about him that I don't love,

78
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 3: and I didn't get into that. I'm going to keep

79
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 3: it a buck. I know that he wasn't down with

80
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 3: Black Lives matter, he endorsed Trump in the twenty twenty reelection,

81
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 3: all those things I was not happy with. But I

82
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 3: will tell you, sometimes you have to separate the art

83
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 3: from the artist. And you know, I didn't feel like

84
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 3: getting I didn't feel like getting heavy on him.

85
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 6: I didn't.

86
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 3: That's not where I was. I was in a different space.

87
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 3: Because people can do good things and say bad things.

88
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 3: People can do good work and believe differently that is

89
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 3: his life. That is what it is. Sit back, relax,

90
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,800

Speaker 3: Thank you so much for joining us on the podcast.

93
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 3: I think that it's exciting to have you. I'm curious

94
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: it has been let me see. I read that just

95
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 3: recently you and your wife created a new line of PBNJ.

96
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 3: I think it's vegan, and you have an entire new lifestyle.

97
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 3: So your name is not only some synonymous with the

98
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 3: Locks and New York hip hop, but it is now

99
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 3: becoming known with healthy living, and the juxtaposition of the

100
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 3: two is fascinating to me. Talk to me about how

101
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 3: you grew up. Was healthy living always a part of

102
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,799
Speaker 3: your lifestyle and you're just being more bold about it now?

103
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: Uh, definitely, not, to be honest with you, It definitely

104
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: was a part of my lifestyle. Fortunate from having a

105
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: career in hip hop and being able to move to

106
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: a more affluent neighborhood, I started noticing. I started noticing

107
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: the difference between the produce the supermarkets and just the

108
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: stores in general, and from having a wife who make

109
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: sure I was going on path of living a life

110
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: healthy lifestyle.

111
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: Combining the two made me sort of passionate.

112
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: And there was a time in my life when I

113
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: was two hundred and forty pounds. Through juicing and just

114
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: eating clean and exercising, I was able to lose a

115
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: lot of weight. And then besides losing the weight, I

116
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: actually started seeing I used to have ezema, post nasal drip,

117
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: cyaniis horrible temper and all of those things seem to

118
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: go away with living a healthy lifestyle. So I found

119
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: it important to bring it back to my neighborhood and

120
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: tell people, you know, because in hip hop is a

121
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: it's a braggadocia sport.

122
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 2: It's all about you know, how much nice stuff you have.

123
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: But I felt it was important to let the people

124
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: know that you're your best asset. You're the thing that

125
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 1: you should invest in the most, yourself, your body, and

126
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: just started pushing it forward to see a change come

127
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: about in where we live and within our people.

128
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 6: I love everything that you just said.

129
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, I want to go back to

130
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 3: when you weren't eating well, and you notice that when

131
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 3: you made simple changes, simple changes your entire lifestyle, you

132
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 3: saw a difference. Exima post nasal drip, you were heavy,

133
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 3: you were two forty, all the things. How did that

134
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 3: come to you? Like, Oh, I got to lose weight.

135
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 3: Did the doctor say that if you don't lose weight

136
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 3: you might die? Did you have bad blood pressure? What happened?

137
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 2: I was in the county pen. Fortunately this was many

138
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: years ago.

139
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: I was in the county pen and got on the

140
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: scale and it was just I was two hundred and

141
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: forty pounds, and I just kind of wanted to make

142
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: the change for myself, and through making a change, you know,

143
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: before I was plant based, I was. I became plant

144
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: based in twenty thirteen by total mistake.

145
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 2: I went on a cleanse and just never went back.

146
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: From two thousand and three to twenty thirteen, I was

147
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: pretty much a vegetarian, and but every year I ate

148
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving with my family. But Thanksgiving at thirteen, I felt

149
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: very sluggish, heavy, felt like somebody hit me on my

150
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,679
Speaker 1: side with a bat. So I said on New Years

151
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: I was going to go on a three week clean

152
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: and I just never went back. I just kept kept going,

153
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: and it was such a difference, and not just my health,

154
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: but the way I viewed the world. I became less angry,

155
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 1: became more cool, became more more spiritually in tune, and

156
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: it just was a change that I felt was.

157
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 2: You know, I was just grateful for to be honest with.

158
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 3: You, I like the word grateful. So let's live there.

159
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 3: What was life like growing up for you? I read

160
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 3: whether I'm clear or not, Your mom's from South Africa?

161
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 2: Yes, yes she is. My mom's from South Africa. My

162
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 2: dad's from Brooklyn. Growing up for me and growing.

163
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 3: Up, how did those two meet? Does the South African

164
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 3: meet the kid from Brooklyn? What howd that all go down?

165
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 2: Uh?

166
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: My mom made her way over here, she met my father,

167
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: She met my father.

168
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 2: That was That was pretty much it. That was pretty

169
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 2: much it, and they had me and the story goes.

170
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 1: But growing up in Yonkers, it was pretty I like

171
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: to say, it was rough but great.

172
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 2: It was a you know, that was I'm forty eight,

173
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 2: so me growing up was.

174
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: In the seventies and eighties, so it was a very

175
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: fun time, very different from what the kids do nowadays.

176
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: But it was rough, but it was great, soulful, and

177
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: just the black experience. Man, my experience is no difference

178
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: from any of the most black kids. And that grew

179
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: up somewhere that was pretty rough. It was rough, but

180
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: you managed to have good times, great times.

181
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 3: Actually, so I grew up in La right, I'm a

182
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 3: West Coast kid, and so there was always and I'll

183
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 3: just go into hip hop for us, it was gangster

184
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 3: rap like Snoop ice Cube Tupac all narrated my childhood

185
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 3: growing up. That was really where I what I knew

186
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 3: that was familiar to me. When did you know that

187
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 3: you had this talent? Were you hanging out with a

188
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 3: bunch of folks and they were like, Okay, this is

189
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 3: what you gotta do.

190
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 6: This is it.

191
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 3: Outside of like maybe hustling and try to make it happen.

192
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 3: How did you know this is where you were about

193
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 3: to make your money?

194
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 2: It was just how I felt.

195
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: I mean actually, before we got on, no one was

196
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: ever on from Yonkers.

197
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 2: So Kiss and Chic and myself we really had to chip.

198
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: On our shoulders one from being from You know that

199
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: the five boroughs always get mentioned, But besides the Five Boroughs,

200
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: God Blessed the Dead Heavy d was from Mount Vernon,

201
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: which is the next town over from you. Because uh

202
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: Brand Nubian's was from New Rochelle. That's a few more

203
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: talents over, but it was like and Yer is directly

204
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: connected to the Bronx. So skipping over always pretty much

205
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: gave us that that chip on our shoulder.

206
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 5: Uh.

207
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: I pretty much always felt like I was I was

208
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: gonna make it, and we were gonna make it. And

209
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: just the professionalism of my two partners, even at a

210
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: very young age, getting with them even made the confidence higher.

211
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 1: So uh, I was always manifesting it. As a child

212
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: from watching Beach Street, I knew I wanted to be

213
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: in hip hop. Really Yeah that that, like I knew

214
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 1: it was delight for me at a very very young age,

215
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: So UH worked hard at it.

216
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 6: Bach Street Man, Can we find that on Netflix?

217
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:48,680

Speaker 6: Everyone who's listening, you gotta go check out b Street.

219
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 6: I love that. That was inspiration for you. Remember I

220
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 6: speaking of God blessed that at the Fat Boys?

221
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 2: Didn't they have?

222

Speaker 6: What did they have?

223
00:11:59,480 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 5: What was?

224
00:11:59,760 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 3: Then?

225
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 6: They have a movie?

226

Speaker 2: Crush groving, crush grooving.

228
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,120

00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 2: They don't make them no more at all.

231
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 6: That was our version of a musical.

232
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, very much, up, very much Up. I totally agree

239
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 3: where I'm fast forwarding you guys make it. Yea, you

241
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 3: all the things. This is when you are not living

242
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 3: this healthy lifestyle though. Correct, you're not talking about sea moss.

243
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 3: You not up here like we should all. I'm gluten free.

244
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: At that time.

245
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: If you would have told me I would be doing

246
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: this in the future, I may have laughed at you.

247
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 2: I would have thought I would be the last guy

248
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 2: picked to do this, you know.

249
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: But through living that life, in that lifestyle, when you're

250
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: fortunate enough to see how fortunate you are, and you

251
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 1: you know, we're Yanker's boy, so we're always around with

252
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: like blue collar hip hop, so people are familiar with

253
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: being able to see us.

254
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 2: I trust we're very connected with the streets.

255
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: That that same connection with the streets made me understand

256
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: kind of.

257
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 2: What the streets leader. So it was, it was.

258
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: It was a necessary transition, and I would say I

259
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: was actually being groomed for it subconsciously without knowing. Like

260
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: I stopped eating pork at twelve on my own, I

261
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: stopped eating red meat my first year on Bad Boy.

262
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 2: I just didn't like how, you know.

263
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: I remember being on tour actually and driving through somewhere

264
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: in the Midwest, and it was land like for at

265
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: least a couple of miles land far back as you know,

266
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: I could see a long stretch of land, and I

267
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: just felt weird that, looking how the cows were placed

268
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: and herded and things of that nature.

269
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 2: I stopped eating chicken two thousand and three.

270
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: So I kind of always been on the journey subconsciously

271
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: without knowing.

272
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 2: I think you know a lot of us, especially for

273
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 2: males when they hit me.

274
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, black folks and black young males when they hit

275
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: the street, Like I am forty eight. So I told

276
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: you I was raised on an apple day. Keeps the

277
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: doctor away. Make sure you eat the veggies off your plate.

278
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: But as you get older on your outside and you're

279
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: hustling and you're moving back and forth, that's when you

280
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: start making the wrong choices. That's when you're at the

281
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: fast food spot all the time you're traveling, you're always

282
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: on the move.

283
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: So you get used to eating fast food and out.

284
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: But I'm also from New York, so I was used

285
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: to the to the juice bars that the rosters had

286
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: and roster food here and there. So just as getting

287
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: older and making it, making the transitions and seeing what

288
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: was needed, I just started always started leaning towards the

289
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: healthier lifestyle. And for my debut album, Gainst and a Gentleman,

290
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: I was actually incarcerated. So from being incarcerated start making

291
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: me think, uh, I'm a little too smart, and why

292
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: do I get triggered so easily?

293
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 2: Why am I so angry?

294
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: And I figured I for myself that I had some

295
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: sort of chemical imbalance. So I started watching what I

296
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: was doing. And then when you get in a lot

297
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: of trouble, you have to learn how to change people,

298
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: places and things. So I started making actually my partner,

299
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: Nodu and Juices for Life, he had a juice bar

300
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: before then, and I would just frequent the juice bar

301
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: just to keep myself somewhere that was healthy and get

302
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: to be around a few individuals that thought out the

303
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: box different from me. Wasn't that many customers at the

304
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: time when he had a different it was called Fruits

305
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: of Life. But I told him, you know, I made

306
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: that my hangout spot. So people wanted to start coming

307
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: to see me. They would have to come there, and

308
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: it kind of grew. And then he always asked me

309
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: to be in business with him, but I was like, nah,

310
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: just you know, learning the lifestyle, promoting it.

311
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: Then years later he left that juice bar.

312
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: He was chilling for a while and then called me

313
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: up one day like, now you got to be my partner,

314
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: and he was off to the races, him and my

315
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: other partner, Juice Lee, and myself.

316
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 6: So you said you're a part of blue collar hip hop.

317
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 3: I'm really fascinated because what is blue collar hip hop

318
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 3: to you? Because that speaks to your entire lifestyle and

319
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 3: how you've been able to transition. But I wonder what

320
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 3: blue collar lifestyle blue collar rap is for you give

321
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 3: me some groups.

322
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 6: Who would that be and are there anymore today?

323
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: I say, I say were the epitome of it would

324
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 1: be someone that that uh uh uh, that's in touch

325
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: with the people, that that that work hard, that are accessible,

326
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: that love the craft that put the hours in.

327
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 2: Uh. I would say care rast is definitely blue collar

328
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 2: hip hop. Public enemies blue collar hip hop. Those who

329
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 2: came before me.

330
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 1: It's definitely, you know, those who love the craft and

331
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: the culture and work hard for it and were accessible

332
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: to the people is what I consider blue collar hip hop.

333
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 5: Uh.

334
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 7: I think with the Locks, with with our group, we

335
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 7: were able to take it a little further because we

336
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 7: throughout the fame, throughout the shiny stuff, throughout being on

337
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 7: uh some of the hottest record labels in the world.

338
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 2: We will always in touch with the people. People will

339
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 2: always be able to find us.

340
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,719
Speaker 1: It definitely started out of you know, being hardcore and

341
00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 1: like with a group that doesn't need security. But but

342
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: but throughout that we were able to you know, we

343
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: always take pictures, we always hug our fans, we always

344
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: sign autographs. We've always been you know, for the people,

345
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: with the people like So that's blue collar hip hop

346
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: for me.

347
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 6: Do you see that today?

348
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 3: Is there any artists today that you would be like, Oh,

349
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 3: I feel like that particular artist that rapper feels blue

350
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 3: collar to me.

351
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 6: I know the game has changed.

352
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 2: Now, it's so much.

353
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 8: I wouldn't say I would say these you know, these

354
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 8: especially the new generation, and they're supposed to I'm glad

355
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 8: the new generation makes so much money, but I feel

356
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 8: this generation makes so much money and doe to technology.

357
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 2: They don't really have to be. Technology kind of runs

358
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 2: everything Instagram.

359
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: Twitter, Uh, you know, you could do interviews over phones now.

360
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 1: So it depends how you feel about where you came

361
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: from and how in touch you are with it. So

362
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of us are taught when you

363
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 1: make money, get away from where you're from.

364
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 2: So a lot of them are being scared in that direction.

365
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: So but there's definitely a few of them who I

366
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: would say is I would I would consider you know,

367
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: J Cole sort of.

368
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 2: Like that.

369
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 1: He's definitely upper echelon, but he does things that keeps

370
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: him in tune with the people.

371
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 2: You know what I mean I would call I would

372
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 2: say Griselda.

373
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 1: It's definitely, you know, their upper echelon, but they still

374
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: stay in tune with the people, and they're you know,

375
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 1: they're accessible. So I think that's that's what how accessible

376
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: you are makes you blue color.

377
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 6: Well, not even that the fact that you say blue collar.

378
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 6: I think of.

379
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 3: Just now, how you've been able to transition and what

380
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 3: you're doing even Okay, well let's just take it back

381
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 3: to when we were all living our lives at home

382
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 3: and we were watching the verses. It still felt very

383
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 3: real and authentic, you know what I mean. I remember

384
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,479
Speaker 3: watching and thinking this arguably, and I'm sure you've heard

385
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 3: this too before the verses between you and Dipset, that

386
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 3: had to be the locks and the gypst had to

387
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 3: be the best versus there was, right, people have said that, yes, yes,

388
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 3: we've heard that, And so tell me about that experience

389
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 3: for you. What was it like preparing for it and

390
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 3: what was it like mentally going into it, because you

391
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 3: have transitioned in so many ways. Was it just just

392
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 3: averse behind you and you just reached back forward or

393
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 3: felt authentic?

394
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: No, it definitely was authentic because we was I felt

395
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: everyone that came before that people were you know, it

396
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: was more of a cool event, and us, being blue

397
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 1: collar hip hop, wanted to show people what goes behind

398
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: your craft, like knowing your work, being prepared. It was

399
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: pretty much like a show for us, like we prepared

400
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: for our show as well, we prepare for the studio. Well,

401
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 1: like it's a lot that goes into hip hop that

402
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: people don't understand, like, we don't punch in the booth,

403
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: and that means when you heard it, I could do

404
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: I could lay a whole verse, get to the end

405
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: of it, mess it up.

406
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do the whole thing over.

407
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: I'm not going to have the guy punch me from

408
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: there because I want you to be able.

409
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 2: To feel feel the energy.

410
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: So when we have a show, same thing, I'm not

411
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: gonna We're not gonna have the words, We're gonna We're

412
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: gonna give you the words over the instrumental so you

413
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: could you could feel that energy. You could feel and

414
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: understand that we were being very organic and very authentic

415
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: at the moment. So with craftsmanship comes up a lot

416
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: of hard work and just the small details that people

417
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: really don't seem pay attention to or give accolades to.

418
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: So for versus, we just wanted to make sure that

419
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 1: I definitely didn't know it was going to turn out.

420
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 2: Like that and be one of the biggest, crazy, biggest things.

421
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: But it was beautiful to hear young people coming up

422
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 1: on you know what, I'm gonna learn my rhymes, I'm

423
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: gonna start practicing my show, and.

424
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 6: I'm gonna start actually being an artist, I'm gonna do

425
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 6: it for real. Yeah, I get.

426
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: It was that was pretty cool, But we didn't we

427
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: didn't intend that outcome. We just really intended to show

428
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 1: people what goes behind when you, you know, especially challenge

429
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: somebody when when when it's a challenge, Like what made

430
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 1: it real was understanding that the pandemic was over.

431
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 2: It was like the first event everyone was going to. Uh,

432
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 2: when I.

433
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 1: Started seeing how many people were weighing in on it

434
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: was when the reality started hitting, when it uh to

435
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: understand it was a Masterson Square Garden to head to

436
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: Angie Martinez.

437
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 2: On a radio say this is for the championship of

438
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 2: New York. All of that kind of made it into

439
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 2: a you know, it made it big. It felt like

440
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 2: it felt like a.

441
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 6: Super Bowl. It felt like a real main event like

442
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 6: show up.

443
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: Yes, it did so even as the days got closer

444
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: and I remember.

445
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 2: Going going to rehearsal early and seeing Michael Buffer and

446
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 2: then it really hit me. And then you know, with

447
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 2: with the NBA.

448
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: Players and the baseball players and football players, everybody chiming

449
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: in on who they think was gonna win and people

450
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 1: going for that kind of made it really like, all right,

451
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: this is it's gonna it's gonna feel like Fraser versus

452
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: a League mm hmm.

453
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 3: And by the way, you also, like you said that

454
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 3: next generation behind you, the artists these days hip up

455
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 3: artists these days, rappers these days didn't do what you

456
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 3: all did.

457
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 6: You set a.

458
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 3: Standard and quite frankly introduced your reintroduced yourselves. What was

459
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 3: What did that feel like for you? Did it feel

460
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 3: like a second coming out, a chance for a career,

461
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 3: or did it feel like this is what we deserve.

462
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 3: I feel like everybody who starts the game, everyone is

463
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 3: standing on you. You'll shoulders. Everyone can stand on your shoulders.

464
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 3: And it was a reintroduction.

465
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: I think it felt like just the reason why you

466
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: stay on a why you why you do your work.

467
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: It was more like, uh, you know, to be respected

468
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,239
Speaker 1: by your peers and fans for years one. We've been

469
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: through multiple generations and were still around. And it was

470
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 1: more so like I guess, just showing that work and

471
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: showing that work ethic and then getting the accolades for that.

472
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: It definitely was like a reintroducer because the world had odds.

473
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 2: On us like we were.

474
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 1: I guess it solidified us in the legendary group slot.

475
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 2: For people who didn't know about.

476
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: Us, so they've got to get the information on exactly

477
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: who the locks were what they did. But I like

478
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: to stay in a humble place with the craft and

479
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: to be honest for kids out there and work. You know,

480
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: you solidify yourself by just dedicating yourself to the work.

481
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 2: Moments can't make you.

482
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's the what you did all of

483
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: the moments to get to the moment that actually makes you.

484

Speaker 1: So you know, you like to stay on a stay

485

488

489

490

518
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 3: supporting and listening. Uh and again I repeat this for

519
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 3: those who are just now joining the podcast. I know

520
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 3: that Styles have said some controversial things. More specifically, at

521
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 3: one point he denounced by Lives Matter. I know that

522
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 3: he also supported Donald Trump in a reelection, and I

523
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 3: know that he clarified its thoughts on that and there

524
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 3: was a thought process behind that. But I do know

525
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 3: also two things can be true. He really is dedicated

526
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 3: to building up the black community. He wants to make

527
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 3: sure that black and brown people are spiritually healthy, mentally healthy,

528
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 3: physically healthy, which is why his transition from being a

529
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 3: hip hop artist, which he still is, but his transition

530
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 3: from being a hip hop artist to a vegan and

531
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 3: a vegan lifestyle and promoting it is really fascinating to me.

532
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 3: I hope that you learned something today, and again I

533
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 3: implore you to separate the art from the artists.

534
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 6: If you can take a listen.

535
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 3: Congratulations to you and your wife, and you're in the

536

Speaker 3: businesses that you have. Can you go down all the

537
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 3: businesses I want to make sure I know you said

538
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:48,240

Speaker 1: It's an e commerce but now we have a brick

541
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:58,199
Speaker 1: and mortar located in Scarsdale, New York. We have Juices

542

544
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: in White Planes.

545
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 2: We just opened the White Plane.

546
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 6: You have one with Angela. Did you do a business?

547
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 2: Basically that's the Brooklyn location.

548
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 6: Okay, so okay.

549
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 2: Pharmacy for Life, Juices for Life.

550
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: My wife has written a book, The Ethereal Hype, just

551
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: how to discern the privilege of laws through the power

552
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: of Love. She's working on the second book. I stay busy,

553
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: I work a lot. I'm from from the Locks, of course,

554
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: I have a solo.

555
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 6: Are you a doctor like you?

556
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 3: Are you like one of those friends I come over

557
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 3: but you know my back hurt or shoulders messed up?

558
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 3: Are you the person I be like?

559
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: I've become that over the past few years for my friends.

560
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: One because I feel like we especially as brown.

561
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 2: People, black people and all people like uh.

562
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: Often this lifestyle has been put in a box like

563
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: it's for Islanders, foreign black people, or rich white people,

564
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: and being healthier for everybody. You don't have to be

565
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: Although I am a tea hugger and a granola person,

566
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: you don't have to be a tree hugger, granola person.

567
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: You don't have to be in a certain box. You

568
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: could like designer clothes and love a healthy life. You

569
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: could like material items and love a healthy life. You

570
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: could like hip hop and live a healthy lifestyle. So

571
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: I think people often have put a healthy lifestyle in

572
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: a box, like it's only for certain people, and we

573
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,959
Speaker 1: work hard to say it's not for certain people, it's

574
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: for everybody. You only get one body treated as well

575
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: as you can do the best you can. We don't

576
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: tell you how to run around and be a vegan,

577
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: run around and be a workout fanat day. But if

578
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: you drink on Friday night, you drink on Saturday night,

589
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: really sneakers are expensive design and clothes are expensive. Jewelry

590
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: is expensive, but people all often complain about the price

591
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: of what they're putting in their body.

592
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 2: If you could wash the outside of your body multiple

593
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:32,600

Speaker 1: It clean, wear the best clothes, take your take your

595
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: time to Nobody puts bullshit gas in they call bullshit

596
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: oil you want, you want by gas you want good

597
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: or people don't even feed their pets back. But when

598
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: it comes to ourselves, we tend to think it's okay

599
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: to take shortcuts or not eat proper. You know, healthy

600
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: foods too expensive, so we just make sure we eradicate

601
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: and get rid of that kind of that that that

602
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: that thought pattern.

603
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 6: You said that the food you realized what you were eating.

604
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 3: Meant you had a chemico chemical balance for sure, imbalance,

605
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 3: imbalance based on your short temper. When you started to

606
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 3: eat better, your temper started to be more even definite.

607
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 3: And what else did you notice outside of your skin?

608
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: More more peaceful, more peaceful like that more peaceful and

609
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: able to understand that?

610
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 2: Uh, to put it in a clay away. I own

611
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 2: the energy.

612
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: Like if you feed into negative energy, you get a

613
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: lot of negative energy. You feed into positive energy, you'll

614
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: get the more positive energy, so just more so manifesting

615
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: the energy. And nobody's perfect. Like not saying I don't

616
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: you know, har a negative energy at all now, that

617
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: would be an absolute lie. But to say I feel

618
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: like I'm one ady negative, one ad positive. I just

619
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: know how to operate on the positives. I could choose

620
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: to positive and stay on that side. And just being

621
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: in peace, just actually just being in peace as much

622
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: as possible, even though I'm not that all the time.

623
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: It's a constant journey to get where you where you're at.

624
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: When I probably really achieve it, I won't be on

625
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: earth anymore. I would think it'd be my time for sure.

626
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: Sure to somewhat different, but it's the journey of working

627
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: on it and striving to be the best one could

628
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: possibly be.

629
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 3: You seem so peaceful, you seem so kind, very sweet,

630
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 3: these adjectives I'm using. Would that have been the case

631
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 3: ten years ago?

632
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you would have gotten Yeah it was well

633
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: on the journey ten years ago, but not as I

634
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: would have been, not as much, like not as much.

635
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: And the journey, the journey brings you places like you know,

636
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: and uh, I've always been a gangster and a gentleman.

637
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 5: Yes, why not talk?

638
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 6: I think they both go together.

639
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 2: Both now just learned me and on the gentleman's side

640
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 2: a lot more.

641
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 6: I am an elegant hood lady, so I can relate

642
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 6: very much. So okay, so I love it.

643
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 3: Okay, so wait, talk to me about I just read

644
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 3: because you know, I'm reading all the articles. You have

649
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: and actuality, Uh this will be my last solo album

650
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: that I want to take a break.

651
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 2: Is a solo artist?

652
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 3: Why?

653
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 2: I work a lot. As you see, I have pharmacy

654
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 2: for life, juices for life. Oh and I forgot.

655
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: The Peanut Butter is a collaboration with eleven Madison Park,

656
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: which is the only plant based Michelin Star restaurant and

657
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: Chef World renowned chef and I, my wife and myself

658
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: we put together the PBJ to connect people who are

659
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: plant based from everywhere. So it is a high end

660
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: peanut butter, but it is.

661
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 2: It is great.

662
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 6: So you're telling me I got to spend thirty dollars.

663
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 2: On something we.

664
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: But it's well worked because you're not that you find

665
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: too much peanut butters with maca and h seymours in it,

666
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: and that's what actually takes very excellent And if you

667
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: look up I was going to say Madison Park, you

668
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: would understand, you know why why it is what it is.

669
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 2: But we just wanted to make sure we hit you know,

670
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:46,919
Speaker 2: we hit all sides of the world.

671
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: Like our juice bars are in food deserts, but like

672
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: our Pharmacy for Life is located in Scarsdale, one of

673
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: the wealthiest towns in America. The collabse with one of

674
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: the most high end restaurants there are. So there's no

675
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: such thing as a box when it comes to health.

676
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 2: We're hitting it. We plan on hitting it all.

677
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: And we want kids who's coming up under us to

678
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: understand you don't have to limit yourself.

679
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 6: And you put them in food desert your juice bars

680
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 6: for what reasons.

681
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: Because kids from the hood they need to understand or

682
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: put fruits and veggies in their body in with you know.

683
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,439
Speaker 1: With that being said, the better you feel, the better

684
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: you think, Like if you feel better about yourself, if

685
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: you feel healthier, it makes you.

686
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 2: It makes you glow, not only on the outside but

687
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 2: on the inside.

688
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: So you really when you have a glow, and most

689
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: people are glowing with a certain sort of glow, it's

690
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,760
Speaker 1: because they're really good inside. And I don't just mean healthy,

691
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: I just mean you know, they could people inside, So

692
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: that glow comes from inside out. So when you're eating better,

693
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: that also contributes to you being able to feel better.

694
00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 2: When you feel better, you treat people.

695
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: When you treat people better and feel better, you just

696
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: happen to look better without even knowing it. And that

697
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 1: energy transfers when you transfer to someone else and are

698
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 1: able to be a help to someone else.

699
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 2: In the world.

700
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 6: How would you talk to you?

701
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 3: And I'm talking to black man specifically, because I know

702
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 3: so many who just prefer to eat like two year olds.

703
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 3: They're like, no, meat and cheese and bread is good.

704
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 3: That's all I want, meat, cheese, bread, Like no, they

705
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 3: don't deviate from that. I think there is this perception

706
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 3: of eating healthy isn't manly isn't.

707
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 2: Especially we do deal with that a lot. Well, what

708
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 2: I straight up.

709
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: Now I'm learning to be more graceful, but I inform

710
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: them of how stupid that train of thought is because

711
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: I mean, think about it from you. You know how

712
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: it is in a hood in Cali. You know how

713
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: it is in the hood in New York. The number

714
00:36:54,440 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: one theme in all hoods worldwide, especially across America, it's survival, right,

715
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 1: Like everybody in the hoods theme is I want to survive,

716
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: And that comes first to mind. Now, if you want

717
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:12,720
Speaker 1: to survive, it makes more sense to take care of yourself.

718
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: You survive longer. Don't wait to get the jail and

719
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 1: start working out, don't wait to get the jail and

720
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 1: start reading. Yeah, So we just put in people mind

721
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: that eating healthy is a part of survival, and survival

722
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: is always the main theme in the hoods. So and

723
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: we like to tell people start investigating what they're putting

724
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: in their body, like you can't think it's once you

725
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: start getting the information and understanding, like you know, you can't.

726
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 1: You can't keep going on with the stigma of that's

727
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: all you need. You definitely need fruits, you definitely need veggies.

728
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: If you don't get the right source of vitamins and minerals,

729
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: you need supplements, you need water, you know. So we

730
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: just we just fight the good fight, like we don't

731
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: we tell people because we care about them. So we're

732
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: giving you the information because we care. If we didn't care,

733
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: was no need for us to give the information. And

734
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: then we also inform people that if you take your

735
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: time to look it up and look some things up

736
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: and see what's going on, you understand that like a

737
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: lot of people, it's the simple things like for me.

738
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: For me, I remember years ago and I'm going, damn,

739
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:27,839
Speaker 1: I name. You know, I'm in my thirties, But why

740
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: did I question it for years? If a juice is

741
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 1: eighty three percent juice, but the hell is the other

742
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 1: seventeen percent?

743
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 2: But I never thought about it?

744
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 6: Yeah you should, you know what I mean.

745
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 1: So when you start thinking about the things you're not

746
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: thinking about, and you pointed to people like if you eat,

747
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,399
Speaker 1: like even with me as a plant based person, I'm

748
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: not growing my food, so I can't say it's all

749
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: the way creating healthy. I'm pretty sure some farms sprayed something,

750
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: did something, or some someth's coming across where you know,

751
00:38:58,200 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: it's not all the way healthy.

752
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 2: Now out, but I felt much safer ian and unhealthy

753
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 2: batch of veggie's.

754
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: Then then an unhealthy paid chicken or cal and I

755
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: have no idea where it's from.

756
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 2: Like think about it, like where was last night's chicken?

757
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 2: Where was last night's chicken from? What state? What country?

758
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 5: Was?

759
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 2: Was it a female? Was it sick?

760
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: How did it feel? Did it get detached from his parents?

761
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: How was its emotions? These are things we don't think about,

762
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: but if you do think about it, it makes you

763
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 1: start changing your You know, I feel we're all programmed

764
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: to a certain extent, and it's about changing a program

765
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 1: because people go on, my grandmother did it.

766
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 2: Well, your grandmother didn't have as much an opportunity as

767
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 2: you did.

768
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: And your grandmother was and she wasn't dealing with a

769
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: time where they was throwing a bunch of stuff in

770
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: the food anyway.

771
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 2: So it's two different, two different things.

772
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 4: Every champion and carry champion is to be a champion,

773
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 4: a champion and carry champion and carry chat.

774
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 5: Be out a champion and carry chappion and carry chat.

775
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,439
Speaker 5: It's entertainment. Can nack you work?

776
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 4: Carry champion then carry champion is to be a champion,

777
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 4: a champion and carry chappie and the yat a champion,

778
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 4: they carry champion and.

779
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 5: Carry she entertainment.

780
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 3: N you working as you're talking I'm all like, when

781
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 3: last somebody has some water today, you know what I mean?

782
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 3: Just things like that you think about you when you

783
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 3: and then there are moments when people I know this

784
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 3: because obviously living in California, there's too many vegan places

785
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 3: for you not to try it, and it seems like

786
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 3: regular food, right, hopefully you're eating healthy depending on where

787
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 3: you go, right. But the reality is is that everyone

788
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 3: I know who has decided to do that, to make

789
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 3: that lifestyle change, has had a moment where they've been

790
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 3: sitting across from somebody and I was just saying it,

791
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 3: starty boy getting a steak. Someone cut into a steak

792
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 3: and it's bleeding and you're like, want that inside of

793
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 3: my body? And like I'm like listening to you say it,

794
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 3: I'm all like, and then sometimes you just like it

795
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 3: out and be like, oh I do need this. I

796
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:02,280
Speaker 3: do miss my protein.

797
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 6: I want it.

798
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 3: Same with a chicken. Watching a chicken looking at the

799
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 3: actual legs and the wings pull apart, You're like, damn,

800
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 3: I moll to heat a chicken, you.

801
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 5: Know what I mean?

802
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 6: So you have your ice like, you have these moments

803
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 6: and then you know it goes away. But I do

804
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 6: agree with you.

805
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 3: It's only a matter of time. You talked about a lifestyle,

806
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 3: and I'm like, it has to happen. I don't know

807
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 3: what eventually, you know, for.

808
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: Me easing into it like you say, like I tell

809
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,360
Speaker 1: people instead of just jumping into it, I always advise

810
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: people to pick a day out the week, like say Sunday.

811
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:38,439
Speaker 2: Say Sunday, I'm not going to eat no meat.

812
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: I may eat like a vegan or plant based person

813
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: or whatever you want to call it, and do that

814
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: for four Sundays, and then next month maybe you could

815
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 1: add a day. Maybe it could be Sunday and Monday

816
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: for two weeks out of the thing, and then you

817
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 1: just gradually go on because even as a it, you know,

818
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 1: I don't mean to sound but in my mind, I

819
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 1: can't go back because I can't make a chicken or

820
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: a cow less valuable than my dog.

821
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 2: I just know, Like you don't.

822
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 6: I'm saying, oh my god, don't.

823
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,800
Speaker 1: Okay, Like if you was on a farm and raising

824
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: chickens and raising cows, I'm pretty sure you it.

825
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 2: May have some sort of connection to them or you know, the.

826
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 6: Same way, because there are places in there are countries that.

827
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 3: Yeh, that's a delicacy. Maybe I heard that, Yeah, so

828
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 3: you're right, and I'd be like, I'd be so grossed

829
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:34,879
Speaker 3: out by that. And they're like, this is a way

830
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 3: of life, this is what we eat. Okay, So I

831
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 3: need before I let you go, I need you to

832
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 3: tell me. I need you to tell me where people

833
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,439
Speaker 3: can go to support all businesses. Is there one site

834
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 3: that you have so they can I know that. For instance,

835
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 3: my producers are like, let me try some of.

836

Speaker 2: You can go to.

837
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: So go to Pharmacy for Life dot com. I would say,

838
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:02,399

843
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: at least you could get the information to see what

844
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,359
Speaker 1: they do for you. You cold to you could look

845
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: at Juice for Life, take a picture of our menu,

846
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: take a picture of anybody's menu, but get a juicer

847
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:23,879
Speaker 1: at home.

848
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 2: Because the best way to lead is by example.

849
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 1: So if you go out buying juices every day, your

850
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: significant other, your child, your parents, your parents, whatever, they

851
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: learn better by example by seeing you constantly do it

852
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: and put the work in, and then it becomes a

853
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 1: family event where you know, especially people with children.

854
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,640

855
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 2: veggies and the juicer. Make them part of it so

Speaker 3: you have a great spirit.

867
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 6: I'm thank you.

Speaker 2: I appreciate its beautiful show.

869
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 6: Thank you, You're so sweet. I appreciate you. Have a

870
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:38,280
Speaker 6: wonderful day. Take care of your family. Take care. Hey everybody,

871
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 6: that is it. We're about to go. I have to

872
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 6: go and figure out a few things. Let me tell you.

873
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 3: I was on vacation this week, so it was really

874
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 3: hard for me to sit down and do my podcast.

875
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 3: I was in Miami. I went to Formula one. The

876
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,319
Speaker 3: race was nice, but Miami makes you feel like you're

877
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 3: rich and you could just hang out at the beach

878
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 3: all day and do nothing.

879
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 6: That is not the case.

880
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 3: By the time you hear this podcast on Monday, I'll

881
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 3: be back on the grind at work, doing the things

882
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 3: that I normally do, which is pay the bills and

883
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 3: complain a little bit. But I had a wonderful, wonderful time.

884
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 3: I think I'm going to be a F one fan.

885
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 3: I do like what they do, although, although I add this,

886
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 3: I don't like the fact that the cards driving circles

887
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 3: for fifty to sixty laps. I might have to do

888
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 3: a minif one. That means I don't have to pay

889
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 3: attention to all of the laps. Secondly, by the time

890
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 3: you hear this podcast, my Lakers have wrapped up the

891
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 3: series and they are on their way to the Western

892
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 3: Conference Finals.

893
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 6: Praise the Lord. Hopefully I do. On jinx it.

894
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 3: If you're not a lebron fan, you hate greatness. I

895
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 3: will talk to you guys next week.

896
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:38,359
Speaker 6: Love y'all,
