    Episode 170: THREE RED CARDS, A SOLO DISNEYLAND RIDE, AND A BLACK BELT IN THE MAKING!

    What do AI, a solo trip to Disneyland, a youth soccer game that went off the rails, and a teenager working toward her black belt have in common? They're all part of this episode of Yhea Foo Nah Foo. We get into a little bit of everything in this one, from the technology we're becoming dependent on to the things we learn when we step outside our comfort zones. We talk about using AI to improve old home videos, its potential environmental impact, and whether we're getting to the point where we can't imagine life without it. Then there's the Disneyland experience — including what it's like to do your own thing without having to follow anybody else's schedule. The soccer conversation gets heated as we discuss a game that resulted in red cards for the coach, team manager, and players, along with suspensions and fines. It raises questions about discipline, accountability, and what happens when youth sports get out of hand. And then there's Kennedy's karate journey. What started with an interest in karate during COVID became years of commitment, practice, and progress toward her black belt. As a dad, watching her stick with something she chose for herself is something special. We talk artificial intelligence, technology and the environment, Disneyland, youth soccer discipline, karate, and the value of commitment. Sometimes the biggest lessons come from the most unexpected places — whether it's learning to enjoy your own company, taking responsibility for your actions, or sticking with something long enough to see what you're capable of.

    The Kids Are Alright, with Kiki & Friends

    What happens when the next generation takes over the podcast? You get honest opinions, middle-school stories, some laughs, and a few conversations that might make the adults stop and think. In Episode 169, Kiki and her friends Izzy, Rose, and V take over Yhea Foo Nah Foo and bring their own questions, experiences, and perspectives to the microphone. We get into the realities of starting seventh grade, dealing with mean kids, figuring out friendships, and trying to make sense of a world where so much of growing up happens online. The girls also share their thoughts on TikTok, online bullying, mental health, and why having people you can actually talk to matters. Then we get into AI. Can an AI friend be helpful when you need advice or someone to talk to? What happens when AI impersonates real people? And what about artists and animators who spend countless hours creating something original, only to see AI-generated work competing with them? One thing that stood out to me was how much thought these girls put into the subjects adults are still trying to figure out themselves. They don't agree on everything, and that's part of what makes the conversation interesting. We talk about seventh grade, friendship, bullying, social media, mental health, AI companions, AI-generated art, and the appeal of going back to simpler technology like iPods and Nintendo 3DS. Maybe the best thing we can do for the next generation is give them room to speak—and take the time to listen.

    Episope 168: Japan Is Calling, Foo with Mini Foo & Professor G

    What happens when your daughter starts dreaming about Japan, and a conversation about anime, Pokémon, food, and culture turns into a reminder about what really matters in life? Mini Foo joins me for a conversation about her dream trip to Japan, and we hear from Professor G about his experiences traveling through Tokyo, navigating its incredible train system, and discovering why Japan keeps calling him back. Professor G has visited Japan four times, and each trip has given him something new to appreciate. From hunting down records and Japanese denim to exploring the city on public transportation without relying on his phone, he approaches travel as both an adventure and a personal challenge. But the moment that stuck with me most was his trip with his father. Sitting together at a rooftop bar in Shinjuku, overlooking the Tokyo skyline, he asked his dad what he wanted to do during the trip. His father's answer was simple: it wasn't about the itinerary. He just wanted to spend time with his son. That's the kind of story that reminds you what travel can really mean. We talk about Japanese culture, anime and Pokémon, Chicano style and cultural crossover, navigating Tokyo, travel adventures, and the importance of spending time with the people you love. Sometimes the destination is amazing, but the person standing next to you is what makes the memory last.

    Episode 167: Find Your Spark, Foo with Kawayne

    Sometimes the best conversations happen when you're not looking for one. I met Kawayne in the exit row of a flight back to Los Angeles. We both slept a few hours, woke up, started talking, and by the time we landed I knew I needed to have him on the podcast. Kawayne was born and raised in Jamaica and moved to the U.S. at 15, which meant figuring out a whole new world: new schools, new culture, new rules. Along the way, he found his spark through mentorship and Usher's New Look. That opened doors to new careers, taught him about credit, saving, and investing, and showed him the importance of giving back. Today Kawayne works in PR and publicity and has been around some pretty interesting people in entertainment. What stood out to me, though, wasn't the celebrity stuff. It was his attitude. He genuinely enjoys helping other people succeed. We talk about Jamaica and America, finding your purpose, mentorship, PR, entertainment, credit, investing, networking, and why there's absolutely no reason to gatekeep knowledge. Because if somebody helped you along the way, why wouldn't you help somebody else? And there's already talk of a Part 2, because we barely scratched the surface on marketing. You never know who you're going to meet.

    Episode 165: Professor G: The People Who Helped Raise Us

    Episode 165 — Professor G: The People Who Helped Raise UsWhat happens when you sit down with someone you’ve known since 7th grade and start pulling on a thread that goes back more than 30 years? That’s what happens when Professor G stops by Yhea Foo Nah Foo. Gino and I go way back. We talk about being teenagers who were basically raised by wolves, the nights I ended up at his house when I had nowhere else to go, and how certain friends become part of your village before you’re even old enough to understand what a village is. We get into psychology, human behavior, 2001: A Space Odyssey, AI, evolution, and the idea that sometimes you have to let an old version of yourself die so something new can take its place. Then the conversation takes another turn. Travel. Getting out of autopilot. Why unfamiliar places can make you feel alive again. Parenting. Making memories with your kids. And that strange moment when you realize your children are growing up and the little family you built is slowly changing. Gino talks about watching his daughter leave for college and what it feels like when the family “band” starts losing members. And I talk about my own daughter, Kennedy, and how sometimes you can just feel when a memory is being made. This conversation goes all over the place — which is pretty much exactly how a Yhea Foo Nah Foo conversation is supposed to go. It’s about friendship. It’s about growing up. It’s about the people who helped raise us. And maybe most of all, it’s about trying to stay awake for your own life while it’s happening. Yhea Foo Nah Foo — Episode 165 Stay Wise, Foo.
