    Breaking Generational Curses with My Mom

    In Part 2 of my conversation with Chef Esther, the podcast takes a turn I didn’t see coming — she flips the script and starts interviewing me on my own show.We get into my relationship with my brother, how her different financial phases impacted me growing up, and the idea of generational curses and how to break them. The conversation gets more personal as we reflect on family, upbringing, and the choices that shape who we become.We also talk about her childhood, including a story about the Boys & Girls Club taking her to Disneyland, and I start questioning whether she’s trying to relive parts of a childhood she didn’t fully get to experience.A real, honest, and unexpected second half to the conversation.LISTEN ON:SPOTIFY:https://open.spotify.com/show/4sNZAzJzICHoNYTNCWeJVQ?si=ff36185ba0f64544Follow Me On Socials For More Content:https://linktr.ee/kauzumTIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro/Recap 00:48 Round 2 01:00 What Am I Passing On? 05:30 Relationship “Compromises” 08:31 Growing Up With The Glow Up 13:50 Having A Strict Parent 19:33 This Shouldn’t Be A Flex 21:00 Like Mother Like Son22:56 All Part Of The Plan 25:04 Armchair Diagnosing Mom28:15 The Toxic Grind 28:48 Full Circle Moment 31:31 The Gender Handicap 33:57 Being The Middle Child 34:29 Brotherly Love 42:13 No Title, Just Real Talk46:09 The Baby Whisperer 50:56 Nasty Booger Kid 52:01 The Stereotypical Family 53:14 Expect The Unexpected 54:10 2nd Armchair Diagnosis 55:04 Toys R Us Was Fake But Disney Was Real 01:01:47 Weird School Schedules 01:05:02 The Filipino Accent 01:07:33 Elderly P.I.M.P 01:08:45 Kauzum Confirmed Wanksta 01:12:40 Podcast Career?? 01:14:54 Fondest Memories 01:22:10 Gen X Outro #thekauzumeffect #funnypodcast

    Immigrant to Restaurant Owner: Chef Esther’s Story

    In this episode of The Kauzum Effect, I bring on my mom, Chef Esther, to talk about her journey growing up as an immigrant from the Philippines and building a life in the United States.We dive into her upbringing, how she developed her relentless grind mentality, and what it’s really like running restaurants and managing a business. Along the way we go on a hilarious rant about Yelp reviews before playing a game where I show her random images to get her reactions and uncover her biggest fears.We wrap things up talking about what makes a happy marriage… but right as the episode ends, she flips the interview on me and says she has questions of her own. The sequel is coming next week.LISTEN ON:SPOTIFY:https://open.spotify.com/show/4sNZAzJzICHoNYTNCWeJVQ?si=ff36185ba0f64544Follow Me On Socials For More Content:https://linktr.ee/kauzum#thekauzumeffect #comedy #funny #podcast #restaurant

    Monster Energy Drinks Made Me Unhinged…AITA?

    This is my first ever solo episode, and honestly…it ended up feeling like a whole stand-up set.I start things off by explaining why Thanksgiving is secretly the GOAT holiday (yes, even with the bad rep), and why Christmas low-key sucks once you factor in the stress, money, and gift-giving expectations.Then I break down my recent club experience, including how Monster energy mixed drinks might have turned me gay for a few minutes (I wish I was joking).From there, I go into my Mt. Rushmore of dream podcast guests, the people I’d love to sit down with someday. And of course, we wrap things up reading some wild AITA stories, comparing them to my own real-life moments where I may or may not have been the villain.It’s unfiltered, chaotic, and probably the most “me” an episode has ever been.If you’ve been rocking with The Kauzum Effect — this episode is for you.LISTEN ON:SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/4sNZAzJzICHoNYTNCWeJVQ?si=ff36185ba0f64544Follow Me On Socials For More Content: https://linktr.ee/kauzumTIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 02:03 Turkey Stuffing Season 04:00 The Stressful Holidays 06:00 Monster Energy Drinks Are Terrible 10:45 BDubs Gave Me Wings… On The Toilet 12:31 Good Vibes In Winter14:53 The Kauzum Effect Interview Mount Rushmore 20:00 2026 Goals 30:29 AITA STORIES 38:00 The Truth About Politics 40:00 “My Ex Used To…” #thekauzumeffect
