Nah, I wouldn't do the machines, but I'd do the tables. Yeah, yeah. Is it one of those like, oh, bet 100 on black. And if it's all black, you get all that money. Not even that, like poker and shit. Oh, yeah?

Like I want to mind f***ing people in poker bro Whoa that's crazy See I like poker But I remember Getting introduced to poker And I got I didn't know anything And I was just playing With all the titos right And all the uncles Bro that was crazy I was like what is a bluff What do you mean?

What do you mean? You said you didn't have any. You ever win money playing? Huh? Yeah. Yeah. Coins like coins. I used to always get like the beginner's luck. Cause I always, the youngest at the table and they're like, ah, beginner's luck. Yeah. I know. Yeah. I see. I got beginner's luck too. But then, then after they started trying and they're like, nah,

You know what game I also play? Mahjong. Oh, I haven't even learned that, bro. It's actually fun because the first time I got into it, what do you call this? Shorty introduced me. We played with all their friends and I was like, yo, there's a lot that goes into it. There's a whole cheat card that they gave me. I'm like, oh shit. Yeah, it's professional. I just remember Mahjong from Crazy Rich Asians. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Bro, Crazy Rich Asians, I watch that every day. What? Is that really? You like that that much? It's such a good movie. At least...

Two times per year, I'm gonna say. Do you like the movie as the way it's directed or do you like it because it's the Asian? I just like it because it's Asian. I feel like there's not a lot of Asian movies. Yeah, that's facts then. I remember we were in the movie theater and it was at the end of the movie and there was this grandma and grandpa, right? And the grandma was crying and the grandpa was crying like, this is it right here, bro. This could be us.

This could be us, but yeah. You want to hear a funny story? What? So one time, you know how at STC, they play like the Tagalog movies, the Filipino movies at STC? At STC? Yeah, you didn't know that? Wait, oh, is it like at the main area? No, in the theater, bro. Oh, they do? Yeah, at the Cineplex. What the heck? I didn't know that. At the Famous Players in STC in Scarborough. Like growing up, they used to always have Tagalog movies in there. Loki, I think I've seen something like that.

Now I think they have like Tamil movies too. But back in the day, it was all like Tagalog. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They played those, the new Tagalog movies. Oh, that's crazy. Yeah. That's how, you know, there's so much Filipinos in Scarborough. I know, there is. So one time, I went to the movies with my Lola. It's not my Lola Lola. It's like my grandma's sister. Yo, that's your aunt, Feb. No, that's my sister's aunt. So I went with my Lola and...

my cousin to go watch to go watch a movie went to the theaters right yeah and my other cousin came and then we went to go watch Captain America okay and then she went to go watch like with her sister she went to go watch what was it

I don't know, some next to Gala movie. Anyway, she was telling us when she got in there, it was like a super sad scene. And then people were crying and shit. And they heard a lady like one row ahead of them. She's like crying so hard. She's like, no. She's crying so hard. And they're all like, she's laughing. I mean, she's like crying and shit. And then after the movie was done, they stood up.

That's my Lola sister's other sister. What the hell? They're all there. They're all watching it. The same movie. Yo, tita. Yeah. That was you crying? No, that's crazy because when, bro, if you have a Filipino mom and she has that, what do you call this? The ABDC or some shit? Oh, the TFC. Yeah, TFC. Bro, I'll be in my room just studying, right?

And we crushed everyone out there. Bro, shout out Leitner, bro. I really put him on, bro. Shout out Leitner. I really put him on. He used to put him on. I really put him on. Nah, I'm playing. But that was my first memory of Leitner because this is like this small ass Filipino kid. He's like, yo, can I play basketball with you guys?

I went through a whole phase when I was like that when I was little too though. Only whenever I was at a jam or a fam jam. Yeah, you would always stick to what you know. Yeah. No, those fam jams where you're not, you're not direct family. Yeah, exactly. Right? And it's like, it's like,

some shit with rice. Something smelly, fam. Adobo. Something next that I ate from a thermos from kindergarten all the way to thing. To uni, I think. Oh, where? And then I started just buying lunch. I remember I used to eat all the time in high school. You remember. I was at the thermos on me. You always had it. We used to go out to Wendy's and I had the thermos filled with like an Issa. We were at a burger joint and you're like, nah.

I'm blessed. No, but yo, I went through this phase where I was like, well, I seen all these white kids like eating sandwiches. So I went up to my mom, right? And I was like, mom, I don't want to eat rice no more. Right. And I was like, and my mom was like, why, why? Cause no one else is eating rice. They always make fun of me. Like, what is that? And then I had a, I had sandwiches. Yeah. Just the most plain shit ever. Just like white bread, cheese and bread, cheese and ham. That's it. Oh yeah. And I was like, dog, why am I doing this, bro? Like,

Like, I really influenced, like, I got influenced by these fans to switch up my lunch when I didn't even like it. But you know why? You went to elementary school here, right? Yeah. When I was in elementary school in Scarborough, bro, everyone wanted, like, a piece of my shit. Yo, I forgot. They wanted the Lunganisa, fam. Yeah. They wanted my f***ing casino. Wait, when did...

You were always at Mary's, though, from the start, right? In high school. Okay, but elementary school, you weren't. From grade... No, from JK to grade 6. Okay. I was in Scarborough. Yeah. And then I moved to Virginia. Yo, low-key, sometimes I forget that you're, like, from Scarborough. Yeah, that's where I grew up. Scarborough? No, I like... I vibe with all the Scarborough mans, though. Like, it's crazy. Like, I don't know. I have bare Scarborough friends that... Because all the Filipinos are from Scarborough. Yeah, no, exactly. Yeah, low-key.

Cause I was like If we went Like we always say this If we went to like What's that Pope or something If we went I was gonna go to Pope Yeah if you went to Pope You would lowkey be I would be different Yeah you would be super different But you have more clout You would be I have more clout Nah I actually wouldn't You would be like The vine you showed The TikTok you showed me When they were all dancing Oh

you gotta put that on the screen that's what we would have turned out to be fam yeah we would be like that i know yeah no i think those mans in the video they're like the fobs they look like fobs i don't know fam tell me why every filipino like fob yeah they always find each other and they always find true love bro how do they always find true love that's the crazy thing bro because yo no no that always happens because i'm like no because

Because there's someone I know. Okay, yeah. They had a boyfriend since. That's Filipino. Oh, yeah. We're planning to get married. Dog, marriage already? What? Yes, fam. Wait, how old are they? No, they're planning. But like, right. They said right after uni, they're marrying. Whoa. I'm like, nah, this is some real like...

Fops type stuff, fam. Because that's a culture, man. Yeah. It really is. Yeah. Like, they're in it... Because Filipinos are... At heart, they ride or die. Yeah. Filipinos are mad loyal, fam. I'm not even going to lie to you. Yeah, that's facts. Like, if you call for Filipino, you're in it for the long run. Yeah. There ain't no one-year, two-year, fam. They're literally, like, ride or die. If y'all get in a fight, fam, they'll... Y'all...

but there's, you're in the final way back, man. And then you're gonna hear the, my song will last.

You feel me? It's literally like a drama show in real life. But yeah. Go fight for your love. I know. I've never... They're on their Drake shit. See, nah. This is the thing though. This is why I almost dealt with a Filipino. But the thing is with Filipinos, word spreads. Word spreads so crazy because everyone knows each other. Yeah, that's true. Shit spreads like no corona. Yo, take in. Nah, I'm not even bullshitting. I wake up, right? I take...

I do whatever I do with Shorty, right? I take her on a date, right? Next day, I come up. My auntie comes to my room. She's like, hey, Gavin. How's your love life? I'm like, what? She knows. Okay, right? And then she goes. I'm like, nothing's happening, bro. And then I go downstairs. I'm eating breakfast. I'm not shitting you. My grandpa comes in. He names it. He's like, oh, how's blank?

I'm like, oh, I'm like, what? The same day my mom comes, knocks in my room. Hey, are you, are you getting to know Blake? I'm like, what the heck? I'm like, no, I can't, I can't deal with this because it's too close to home. This is too close to home. Yeah. Some people are built for that. Some people are not built for that.

Like, I took shorty on one date and that's... And it blew up. But no cap. Like, Filipino girls, you really vibe with them. Yeah. Even on, like, a friendship level. Yeah, yeah. Like, you can really vibe with them because they're so... It's pretty much you as a female version. Yeah. No, it is. Yeah, yeah. Like, we're so much alike.

like even me and you we're hella alike just from just because we're just because we're philippines yeah yeah we share experiences and shit like the same way we grew up you know yeah yeah but that's that's why i'm like because i dated a thing i did it out of my race and i don't think i don't know i don't know my parents were cool with it they're they're they're up to par like they know all that that this it's changing you know so they were accepted of it but you know

Stuff happens. Yeah. Shout out. Rise Tribe. Oh, Rise Tribe. Yeah, shout out to Rise Tribe. They putting out for Filipinos. Nah, shout out the Christmas market. Nah, that shit. Bro, COVID? Nah. For any one of you who have a relationship right now, you're going through it. It's over. If you're going through it with a shorty. Talk to him. Take her to the Toronto Christmas market. Talk to him. If you take her to the Toronto Christmas market. You're signing? And take a picture under the big red heart. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. It's not even that. If you take her, that's already a year. Yeah. If you take a picture under the red heart, you're signing a max contract deal, bro. Max contract. Max contract. You're in it if you have any fights. I don't know what it is. Yeah, bro. But every couple that takes a picture under the red heart. Exactly. They last so long with their relationship. Exactly. The relationship is like...

unbeatable exactly i've seen bare filipinos under that right yeah if you were if you saw i had a pie chart of a graph of how many couples took it i guarantee you half of that shit is filipinos facts you love that touristy stuff yeah you love that that lovey romantic stuff all the sims out there take it to the toronto christmas market get a pic under that red heart and post on your instagram you have to post on your instagram if you don't then it's not valid yeah then it's not valid it's not valid that's like the signature on the contract

The deal is closed. Max contract, no kawaii. But yeah, bro. Man, Christmas is coming. It's going to be so different, man. I know. I miss the Christmases where all my cousins would come. Because now, I feel...

When you were a kid, Christmas was so much stronger. And at least for me, like, back in the day... Oh, yeah. All the families would come. For sure, bro. But now it's, like, a little bit more separated. And especially right now because of COVID. Not even if COVID was around. It's only, like, we don't do that no more. Yeah, not anymore. I don't know why. Yeah, like... You feel that too? I mean, I guess, yeah. You're the firstborn, right? Mm-hmm. Yeah, exactly. So probably they...

All the energy went into it. Because we're still small. Right? But now we're bigger. So they're like. They have their own families. Yeah. We don't have to try as much. You know? That's true. But yeah fam. Before I used to get high for Christmas. Just that feeling of waking up. Do you buy any of your friends gifts though? I don't. I don't. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly.

I didn't even give you a birthday gift. The only people I get gifts are for like my mom and dad my sister. Yeah If I do give you a gift though, it's like off the fly cuz I remember I gave you this Yeah, I obviously I'm gonna get you again, but I seen that there's no and that she was like it just screamed at me like hey Carlos It's crazy it's here and you gotta show the back of that. Oh my gosh. Oh

It has it. Jumpers. I wrote jumpers jump on it. What is the odds of that? Bro, real. The fact that it has jumpers jump and then like we have the pot and we put it there. I'm telling you, fam. It's a simulation. Bro, are we though? Are we in a simulation? What do you mean by that though? Yo, take in scientists said we have a 50-50% chance that we're in a simulation and we don't know about it.

Did you hear what Elon Musk said? No. Yeah. He said it's either we're already in a simulation or we're on our way to there. And if you really bag it. Yeah. It kind of makes sense. Because look, the world's only getting worse. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. The world's only getting more shittier. It actually is. Whether it be like climate change and shit, like disease, whatever's happening, the world's going to be chaos. Damn. We're going to want to escape this shit. Oh, that's facts. Put on the f***ing VR. Oh, yeah.

or like machine whatever it may be yeah the simulation like so everything's everything's like what do you mean by that like everything's like no not not even like everything's good because the simulation may not be good because let's say this is a simulation right now yeah yeah this is pretty good yeah i mean it's not like we're we're struggling so hard yeah what if what if this is the simulation what if like

You know what I mean? I kind of get you though. It's kind of mind blowing, but if you, if you really bag it, we, how do you know what's reality? Like, you know, this is reality, right? You know, this is reality. This is all, this is all we know. Yeah. Right now. Look at, look at an ant, an ant working on an ant hill. All the ant knows is that ant hill. And then all of a sudden, I don't know where a foot can stomp on that ant. Whole life changed, but he didn't know what a human was. I didn't eat lunch fam. Yeah.

I'm trying to back this. Because we're such... Humans are kind of small. In the vast space of the universe, we're hella small. There's probably shit we don't know about. There's no 100% shit we don't know about. There's a lot of stuff we don't know about. So what if this right now is not our true reality? Have you ever seen Rick and Morty? No, I haven't though. Bruh. I haven't. So there's this one episode in Rick and Morty. Mm-hmm.

um morty goes and plays like this is like a future arcade yeah he's in he's in space yeah he has and he goes to this uh arcade machine okay and it's called life game of life or some shit so he goes and plays this game puts on the headset like the vr yeah and he's born he's a kid he grows older he's a teenager he's a man yeah blah blah he goes through whole life and shit like that

and then all of a sudden he dies and he wakes up back as morty now that whole sequence may have took like let's say 40 years or however long his life was yeah yeah but he was only playing the game yeah and then rick was like oh you only got up to 45. oh it's like i beat that i was at like yeah 102. yeah because you can just go on to like topics like oh what happens after like death and stuff like that but that's that's crazy because sometimes i think because

In a point of my life, I believe that you come back as like an animal. Like you come back as something. You come back as something. And no, there's a theory that I kind of believe in. It was like your previous life, you have good karma now because you were a good guy in your previous life. That's like, is that Hinduism? Hinduism, right? I think so. Yeah. But like, I don't know. But I heard that and I was like, okay. But who knows? Like nobody knows, bro. You really can't. Nobody knows.

And there's also a theory. What if our dreams take us to another reality? Oh, dreams? Because everybody dreams. I used to lucid dream, Bear. That's another topic. But yeah, lucid dreaming. Because I was... What do you call this? Like two nights ago, I lucid dreamed. Oh, shit. What would you dream about? It was like mad...

No, no. What? No, I got my... It was really like... So one of my friends got robbed or something. Oh, f***. Yeah, and it was me just trying the whole time trying to...

trying to catch the robber type thing and i woke up i woke up when i got like when i when i like i got punched in the face yeah and i woke up and i'm sweating oh i'm sweating beer i can't move yeah i'm like yo what is oh yeah sleep paralysis is that what it's called yeah you can't move yeah because i've heard that sleep paralysis comes from like lack of sleep yeah yeah and i've been having that you know so i'm like yo like what is going on oh that's am i still in it like yeah it's fuck that's crazy that you brought up the topic too because i

I literally just had it. Sleep paralysis. Yeah. And lucid dreaming. Damn. I had sleep paralysis, I want to say last year. Yeah, last year I had sleep paralysis. Oh, yeah? Bro, I thought...

what i thought i thought my mom came to my room and then like touched my face yeah and she was like she said something to me i couldn't she was mumbled i thought my mom came into my room and did that but i was like still tired so i didn't want to wake up but i actually couldn't wake up yeah i had that too i think i had that too because i thought my mom came in my room and woke me up yeah but because i asked later i'm like dad why didn't you wake me up and he's like no i did i'm like wait i don't remember

Or maybe is that just, that's something else. I don't know, bro. And then I went to my mom, right? And then she's like, oh, I was gardening. I wasn't even in the crib. Really? Yeah, so it was, when your sleep paralysis, you can see like demons and shit. You heard about that? No, I didn't see no demons. Like some people, they see like a figure. Oh, shoot. You know Stranger Things? Yeah, yeah, I watched it. Some people see the f***ing Demogorgon and shit. Oh, hell no.

It's crazy. That's crazy. Imagine you see that shit in the corner of your room. What are you doing, bro? You can't move. You can't move. I'm closing my eyes. I'm going back to sleep. If you can't see me, I'm not there, bro. But yeah. But yeah, the future, the future. What do you think the future is going to look like? Because I know you called something like this. Well, not like the whole disease, but like

Oh, with the VR? With the VR, yeah. Fam, I think the future, especially with COVID, it's kind of pushing us forward more. Yeah, yeah. Not in the sense of shit's getting better, but in the sense of we need to change life because life could be this. Because now we got to adapt. Yeah, we got to adapt to like disease because what if we have another one like this, no? Bro, I think eventually...

We're just going to have like VR headsets and then we're going to be living like two lives. That's crazy. Cause that makes sense though. Cause if you're, if you're not going to school, just put the VR headset on and you're in school. Exactly. I think, I think that's what it might be. Oh, we can call a call it right now. Cause yeah. Like imagine, imagine we just put on our VR headset and we're in class and we see all our, all our boys in the class. Yeah. That would be so alive. Yeah. And we're not far from like, that's possible, bro. That's possible. Imagine you're just in your room and you're like, yo, what's up?

But it makes sense too. Because we have to get closer to that human interaction. Because the Zoom shit is not going to work forever. I know. Yeah, it's not. The Zoom shit is not. So a lot of kids are like...

going through it they're getting shitty grades because they can't learn like that now yeah the closer we can get to that with the vr yeah it's not the same though yeah simulate the classroom that's really all it is it's because people don't don't feel like they're in a classroom they're in their house there's no motivation in that yeah yo let me tell you this now all right what if this is a simulation oh here we go to a simulation no a simulation a history class simulation so we can learn about covid

And then you're gonna wake up like You're gonna wake up at the end of it Imagine bro, what if what if this is all part of the plan? No, I feel like no we as soon as we were put on this earth. We're put in a simulation and

What do you mean by that? I don't know. Cause the, I don't know. I don't want to say there's like, there's like a planned route. Who knows, bro? Like I feel like, cause that was one of my theories that I had before that as soon as they're put on this earth, there's like a number that we got. Right. Yeah. And that number will, will,

everything will lead up so that number will do what it's meant to do in this world type thing right but then at the same time you can be like no because i i i predict my future i this is my world yeah but what if what if we're that was planned for us to think like that exactly you never know that's crazy mindfuck

No, but yeah. It was funny that you said that the VR stuff because I remember going to Dino's place and playing with the VR. It's crazy. It's crazy. And it's... Yo, technology nowadays, man. Yeah. It's crazy. This is just the beginning, fam. Yeah. Because, yo, there was a gun range. I was like, yo, I'm literally in a gun range. Any gun I want, I can just play around and shoot. Yeah. Like, I don't need to go to pay for another gun to go to a gun range. Now, imagine that and then they start hooking up our nervous system. Oh, totally.

And then they start hooking up our brain. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bruh. Yeah. Like this could, this could just all be, this could be the come up story like game right now. Cause you know, VR chat. Have you ever been on VR chat? You literally walk around and talk to people. Yeah, you just talk to people. That's so crazy to me. It's cool though. It's so cool. It's so fire. Have you watched Ready Player One?

No, I haven't. Ah, you gotta watch that. You gotta watch that. I watched Berlisi because he's way more funny. Who? Berlisi. No, Ready Player One is the movie. Oh. So, Ready Player One, there's a game. It's called the Oasis or some shit. Oh, I think you told me about that. Yeah. And then they go into like this separate reality. Yeah. And it's, everybody plays the game. Literally everyone. Yeah. So, you have like real world and then

Let's say you're poor in the real world. You put on your headset, you're living sick in the game. That reminds me of the Sharkboy and Lavagirl. Was that the whole concept of Sharkboy and Lavagirl? No, that's Dreams, bro. Oh, it was Dreams? That's Dreams. Yeah. But yeah, about the Dreams...

There's always that one dream where I'm like, it always ends up me like falling off a building. And then I'm like, Oh, I know those ones, bro. Moment. Yo, there's a theory that the reason you feel like you're, you fell. Yeah. Yeah. It's because God was taking you up to heaven and then you dropped him it away. Nah, nah, don't even say that. That's a theory. That's a theory. I think I saw that on Twitter or some shit, bro. That's crazy.

I've almost been to heaven like three times. Imagine, bro, there's this one dream I had. And I still think about this to this day. It was about like God, he was talking to me. He was showing me something. And he was like, you can come with me now. He said, you can come with me now. And then I saw it was something beautiful. I don't know exactly what it was, but it was something beautiful. And then I said, I don't think I'm ready. And then that's when I just woke up. What?

nah that's kind of crazy and the the craziest part about that too was leading up to that dream yeah like every every single day i would try i i was going on this this was during the holidays yeah i was trying to be the best person i could be like hospitality wise oh yeah yeah i was like donating and shit i was like holding the door for people helping people out yeah like

say someone needed a favor i'd like help them out anything i could do right yeah and it was crazy that led up to that dream i had and then looking back i'm like shit he said you can come with me now yeah i don't know that that was just a dream but no that's kind of crazy there was a saying that it's we're living on hell or something like this this right now is hell supposed to be hell yeah so i mean yeah bro do you believe in destiny oh yeah for sure

And fade, bro? Yeah. Yes, I'm telling you. Like, events lead up to that. Yeah. Yes, bro. Do you believe in... Remember the movie Holes? Yes. That was one of my favorite movies. Yeah. Remember, like, the prophecy with the kids and then the ancestors? Yes, yes. Do you ever think... Shit. Do you ever think about your ancestors, what they were like? No. That doesn't really... It doesn't cross your mind, right? But when it does, like, I'll have, like, a deep convo with, like... Or just, like, a deep thought. Yeah. Sometimes I think about that, like, bro...

What if my freaking ancestors were pirates in the Philippines? Yeah, yeah, type thing. Or what if they were like samurai in Japan and they moved to Philippines or some shit? Like who came before me type thing? Yeah, you never know. Yeah, that is true. Did I tell you my great-grandfather's... Yeah, yeah. My great-grandfather's brother was a notorious hitman in the Philippines. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I did not know about this. Yeah, I did not. Bro...

yet to do research on like my family tree and stuff yeah but you don't know shit like that could how'd you find out though like my dad my dad oh your dad yeah my dad was was born already when he was when he came out of jail yeah so he was uh he was a hitman yeah for like the notorious like the gangs in the philippines this was during al capone type of era yeah this was back in the day back in the day right so he

he was infamous for killing like um the head leader of this gang i think his name was boy golden yeah something and then they made a movie about him they made a movie about my yeah my crazy you say that name they're about to set a hit on you fam oh we found him guys we got him continue the beef after 50 years exactly but no i've yet to do research bro

Because I thought you found that stuff on like Ancestry and stuff Nah But it's all word of mouth You know Yeah cause I I remember during the quarantine I got a lot of time to spend Like with my family and stuff I asked them like questions My dad's been through Bear stuff Like I know you're like What do you call this Your dad's probably been through bear stuff But I remember my dad was like He was telling me all these stories like Oh I got bit by a snake I got bit by a like

Like a crocodile Oh shit And yo There was one story In the Philippines? Yes All in the Philippines Damn And he was like Oh I had chicken pox If you've never had chicken pox before It's like Your body gets drained right? Yeah And so he had to He had to put a paper bag Over his head

And ride all the way back to his next place. To some next place. On a Jeep. So he was on that Jeep. Why do you have to have a paper... Oh, because it's contagious? Yeah, it's contagious. Oh, fuck. Yeah. And bro, I'm over here like... I can't even ask a girl out, bro. You went through all that for me to not do that? Damn. That's crazy. But yeah, talk to your parents, guys. They actually have some cool ass stories. Yeah. Yo, you want to hear something crazy? Yeah, let me hear it. My...

This is my great-grandfather now. Yeah. My great-grandfather is a lot like me. Okay. And I didn't know this. I didn't know about him. My great-grandfather was a prizefighter boxer. Okay. Okay. First of all. Yes, sir. He was an entrepreneur. Oh, shoot. And he had his own business just like me. Dang. Yeah.

so that can tie yo watch that and um he's the same height as me too oh my god watch that now watch that tie all into like remember what you were saying or something of your ancestors and how it just comes full circle yeah like destiny and shit yeah what if what if you're just like a reincarnation exactly no but he died i think he died um well i was already born when he died but bro it's kind of crazy to think my dad told me one time

He had a dream. Yeah. He had a dream about me and my great grandfather. So he was like, he was talking to him. He said, look at my son. He's just as tall as you. Come look at him. And they were like talking to each other. And like, he was saying, you guys are so similar. Yeah.

And, but my dad, he's not the type. He's really not the type to talk about dreams. Yeah. Yeah. But the fact that he told me that. Yeah. That, that means it's something. Yeah. That, that means like he really thought heavy about that. Yeah. That dream, you know? No, no. I believe in, yeah, all that stuff.

Because really, my whole life, I feel like I've been put in the position. Everything is working out so far. I think there's connections somewhere that we can't see. Oh, do you know about the red knot? The red thread or some shit. It's like every day you get pulled closer to your destiny or to certain people. And I'm like, that kind of makes sense, bro.

Cause I was like, dang. Cause I remember there was this one instance at prom, right? And then me and Shroyo were sitting there. I don't know how rare a shooting star is. Oh, you saw a shooting star? Yeah. What the fuck? A shooting star came and went through, right? And I went on this cottage trip

Right? And I was there just to have fun. I was no intention of like chopping shorties or anything like that. But I was chilling with a shorty after. And I walk up and who's sitting there with a seat empty beside her? She's like, oh, let's talk and stuff like that. We were catching a vibe. We both look up in the air. Shooting star goes by. And I thought I was tripping. So I was like, oh, did you see that? She's like, yeah, I saw that. I was like, oh, shit.

Damn, that's crazy. I was like, like the exact, the exact scenery of prom happened at that same thing. I was like, yo, what the hell is going on? Damn, bro. So I was like, keep that shorty close though. Honestly. No, that's crazy. That's a sign fam. It was bro. No. See, little shit like that.

It may mean something small, but it may mean something big. You know what I mean? Like, because I was like, I switched it up after. I'm like, yo, how rare is a shooting star? It's really rare. It is rare. And I saw it twice. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Sometimes I think maybe our ancestors like leave little hints for us. Oh, no, there's something else that you do believe in. Like the, because whenever I see a butterfly, I think it's my grandma. Really? Do you, do you believe in that stuff? Or like, do you know about that stuff? I, I, I haven't really crossed my mind, but word, because I remember, um, uh, when she passed away, I was a grandma, but, um, whenever I was playing outside playing basketball, there was always the same butterfly that came. Wow. And I was like, Oh shoot, his grandma. I was like,

But, you know, you never know. Like, little things like that. Yeah, little things like that really make you think. Makes you think. Yeah, it's crazy. Because what if they could? What if they could, like, contact us? And if they could contact us, look back and try to see little things that happened to you. Yeah. That may have been signs. What's that movie that...

I think we both watched in religion class where a person died and all the family was crying but they're like, yo, don't cry, don't cry. I'm still here. Do you remember that? Oh, yeah. The one with Robin Williams. I forgot the name of the movie. Yeah, I forgot that too but...

Is it, yo, is it like that? Like once you think, once you pass away, like, can you like see them? Yeah. But they can't see you type thing. What if that, that's like the afterlife or what if that's how ghosts appear? Yeah. It's all theories, but I'm just living life. I don't, I don't dig too deep into that. Yeah. I used to fear death like that, but then I mean to, yeah. Cause when I was a kid, I was like, I don't want to die. I haven't lived my life type thing. But then now I'm like, we live in. Yeah.

As long as you live happy. I think my goal is just live happy. But what is happy? There's different stuff to like happy. Nah, bro. Like what's happy to you? Happy to me? It's a lot. There's so many little things that go into being happy. Like being with family, sharing experiences. Yeah. Right? Being fulfilled to where I think I am. Yeah. Or what I think I have accomplished. Yeah. I think that's really important too. Because...

You could be happy as a kid and not accomplish many things. Yeah. But if you have desires. For sure. I think if you have desires that you really want to get. Yeah, exactly. And goals you really want to achieve. You're not happy until you achieve them. But. Facts. But achieving them may not bring you the happiness you seek. Exactly.

Because like you said, you can't tell a guy that he didn't fulfill his life. Yeah, you can't tell him. In his mind, he's living his best life. Exactly. But he's not the richest guy, you know? But he's having the best time of his life. Yeah. Bro. Bro, I wrote this down in my notes before, in my journal. I wrote down, a man living in a dirt house. Yeah. Happy. Lived happy his whole life. Yeah. Who's to tell him he didn't live a fulfilling life? Exactly. That he lived in a dirt house. Exactly. Like, we can't tell him that. Exactly. I don't know why... Yeah, like...

I still don't get why people like the hatred in people. I don't know. Cause I'm a pretty positive. I think it's jealousy, bro. You know what it is? The rich, the rich people, like the rich people, they low key hate on the poor people that are so happy with very little. That could be it too. They're like, that makes sense. Nah, you should want what I have. You want what I have. You can't get what I have. Yeah. Yeah. But reality, this guy's not happy. He's happy with a little. Yeah. Exactly. I mean, cause, cause the rich guys, like,

Like, oh, why are you so fucking happy when I have all this shit? Yeah. He's just comparing his life to... If you're always comparing your life to someone else's, you're not going to have a good life. Yeah, you're not going to fulfill nothing. Exactly. It won't feel right. Exactly. But to each their own, right? Happiness is different for everybody. Exactly, yeah. Because happiness for me is healthy. My whole family is healthy.

financial stability and then anything i want to do on the side which i'm doing right now so like i said before like the journey is more is you you feel better about the journey rather than sitting at the top yeah because i believe in that yeah i used to i used to believe all about the destination destination right because i want to get there so bad but then then you started telling me all this stuff like when when like rappers say this all the time like like they get lonely at the top you know

Because, like, who else are you supposed to bring when you're just doing your thing? It's not that the top isn't going to be sick. That's not the point. It's...

Take in. Take in the journey. You know what I mean? Yeah, exactly. Feel good about the journey. Sometimes you gotta just look and be like, okay. Yeah, don't feel shit about the journey. If you're starting off small, shit, it's fun. It's fun trying to make your way to the top, you know? It's fun climbing that ladder. That's facts. Because now, now once you're at the top, there's added pressure.

If you miss, if you miss once, bro, those loyal fans you have will switch up so quick. And I forgot who it was, an NFL player. His life goal was to win the Super Bowl. He won the Super Bowl. He's like...

Now what? Yeah, that's crazy. So imagine that though. Cause I, I could kind of see where he's coming from. Imagine you live your whole life trying to do something and then you finish it. Yeah. And like now what? Yeah. I mean, it's cool for the, like the moment, but after it's like, Oh shit, I have everything.

See it's more It's more fun The climb is more fun Than like the finish line Yeah exactly So we really gotta soak in Like the finish Like this shit right now This is so fun to me You know what I mean No exactly Just chilling here I would never We're just starting Exactly Right Yeah Like

thinking about the possibility possibilities that this could be branch out the opportunities that will come yeah like how big like this could be exactly just just dreaming about that already is so much fun right yeah because when you told me like yo i have like all the shoes i wanted but now what you know yeah because now i i kind of have a bit of money to play around like i can get the stuff i've never had before so it's still fun to me yeah i feel like once i get all the stuff i'm like

But it's not even fun to me no more. Yeah, bro. Dead ass. Like the day I got like all the shoes I wanted. The day I finally got the Chicago's. Yeah, yeah. Literally, I think it's the Chicago's. That's when it hit me. Yeah. That was the most depressing day I had in a while. Wow.

Just cause I wanted these kicks so bad And it's a materialistic thing I thought it would bring me happiness But nah It's just It's just shoes At the end of the day It's just a physical thing Yeah And rappers try to warn us But we still want it though It's crazy how we still Always want it though Cause we're drilled It's like I wanna experience it Then when I experience it Then I'll face the consequences But when I'm at the top I'll be good Like no but no

But yeah, it's good to stay woke to that. The consumerism, bro. They drill us and drill us and drill us. Like, you should want this. You should want this. And then that's how we grow up. We grow up wanting to be with all this rich luxuries and shit. You want to have the biggest house in the world, you know? That's what they teach us. So we keep the economy rolling. I know. Capitalism, bro. But realistically, if we could be happy...

On the beach. In a little hut. Then shit. That's a fulfilling life. Who's telling us. Yeah. Who's telling us. They're not happy. I'm. I'm kick up. Yeah. No one's telling me shit bro. But. The economy. The economy's not gonna roll like that. Yeah. For me. See. Go back. They need people working. We're in the simulation. Oh.

but yeah but see side hustles like this we can even turn back to like the growing up filipino thing like i don't know my my dad was so surprised when i'm doing all this yeah because like i don't know filipinos like don't like they don't risk as much yeah yeah

I think the Asians that really risk the most were the Chinese. They're on their grind with the small businesses. For sure. You see better than businesses. But for Filipinos, it's usually nurse. Nurse, doctor. Yeah, nurse, doctor. Yeah, yeah. Right? Engineer. Yeah. Like all of those things. It's all like the usual path. I'm not going to categorize everyone. But the usual path is go to school.

get your degree marry marry yeah have your have your family have lots of kids exactly you know yeah because it's weird because like i don't you're like you're the only filipino that that's really on the same length of it like we don't we don't go i mean we don't go the traditional route you know yeah if we if we see something then we go yeah we just go and they won't believe it it's crazy how how they'll switch up so quick too it's because once it starts being successful then they'll tell all their aunties that's facts that's fact and i'm like oh shoot

Oh, now you want to hop on. That's crazy. But in the beginning, it doesn't make no sense. But it's not their fault, bro. You know why? Because they come from a place of they never risk. They come from a place of we have to survive in this new country. Yeah. That's why. Because they didn't have the opportunities we had, to be honest. Makes sense. Because if they were to, if they were to do like what we wanted, they're risking a lot more. Okay. Yeah. Because we can fall back, let's say, on what's already here. Yeah, that's true. But...

And yo, to be honest, if we're not doing this, shit, we're wasting it. No, that's true. Because if we're putting the position to win, why are we going to win? You feel me? No, that's facts. If we're not taking the risk, we have the position to risk all this shit and actually try. Yeah. And we can still fall back and just continue. You feel me? Yeah.

yeah that's crazy bro so dad mom okay no but it's true though they work so hard for us right and if they're working so hard for us to be in this position that's facts we should take the risks that we have now exactly i mean and and bring yeah i think that's important really take the risk that you want to take because yeah you only live one life bro yeah you really only live one life i don't want to be 50 years old and look back shit i wanted to do a podcast when i was younger i

Fuck, imagine I said that. Imagine you never did that. That would be crazy. Oh, shoot. Imagine... It's fun to live your dreams, man. No, it is. No, for real. Because I think you started changing my mindset because you were always just, just go, fam. Just go. Jumpers jump, bro. Literally. Jumpers jump. I'm like... Because I was like, okay, if I... If I...

Because before, I was so scared of going to job interview. I remember my mom was like, go to apply to independent. And I took my resume. And I didn't want... The first time, I just walked back. I said I did it. Because I was so scared. But I'm like, no, just go this time. There's a sense where you just got to go, fam. And now... That's with everything. That's with girls too, bro. Yeah, what if you don't talk to...

Someone A girl now that you like Two weeks later She's with another guy Real shit There's mad I don't wanna call out names Don't even call out names Like no You literally have Opportunities that won't be there later Exactly You have to take it You have to take it right when they come Exactly

because if you don't boom that's your future is literally you don't want to regret it exactly yeah i remember um i was talking to my grandpa too and uh we i always talked to him i'm like yo what do you like your advice on life you just don't regret anything you know i feel that yeah just be nice to everyone no he said don't be nice to be here he said be fair to everyone don't be nice he said be fair i don't know no yo i feel that too yeah because because you don't

If you're nice to everyone, then you're being fake. Exactly. In my opinion. Yeah, yeah. Because no way you love everybody. And some people, yeah, exactly. And to avoid people taking advantage of you, I mean, if you're in that state of mind, but like, just be fair to everyone. Yeah, just be fair to everyone. You don't got to be, yeah. You don't have to be overly nice. Exactly. Because that's fake. Exactly. But also, you don't have to be overly rude. You don't have to be rude at all. Yeah, you don't have to be rude. Just be fair. Yeah. That's good shit. That's 50 minutes too. Let's cut it.
