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.

Stay Wise, Foo.

What do you get when two grown men take off for Puerto Rico with no real agenda other than to explore, have some fun, and see what happens?

You get this episode of Yhea Foo Nah Foo.

Christian and Anthony talk about their trip through Puerto Rico — from beaches, snorkeling and scuba diving to caves, waterfalls, rainstorms, Old San Juan and the kind of random conversations that only happen when you're actually out there living life.

There’s a story about becoming a rescue diver, the strange beauty of bioluminescent water, getting caught in the rain, exploring the island, meeting people, eating good food, talking about Puerto Rico’s history and infrastructure, and eventually finding ourselves talking about rum, sugar cane and Jack Sparrow.

But somewhere in all of it, the episode becomes less about Puerto Rico and more about getting out of your normal life and actually experiencing something.

Sometimes you don't need a big plan.

Sometimes you just need to go.

Come take the trip with us.

Yhea Foo Nah Foo.

Stay Wise, Foo!

What 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.

In this episode of Yhea Foo Nah Foo, we start with summer, family, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, and a little talk about money and investing… and somehow end up discussing dopamine, AI, biological mini-brains, the simulation, brain farms, classic movies, and whether humans are basically just carbon-based computers.

Yeah… it goes there. 😂

But underneath all the Foo nonsense, there’s a real conversation happening about something we’re all dealing with: information overload.

We live in a world where everything wants our attention. Our phones, the news, social media, emails, texts, algorithms, and the constant stream of information can make us feel like we have to know everything and respond to everything immediately.

So what happens when we don't?

We talk about teaching our kids how to deal with the things they can't control, finding healthy ways to unplug, why movies used to feel like actual events, and why sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is simply step away from the noise.

And yes… we still manage to talk about bidets, CrowdStrike glitches, brain farms, and whether we're living inside a giant computer.

Because this is Yhea Foo Nah Foo.

Listen to yourself.

Then maybe turn off your phone.

Remember when adventure didn’t require a plane ticket, a reservation, or a phone with GPS? Sometimes, all it took was walking out the front door.

In this episode of Yhea Foo Nah Foo, we take a nostalgic—and occasionally questionable—trip back to childhood, when the neighborhood was our playground, the doors were unlocked, and every day had the potential for trouble. From wild childhood adventures and neighborhood stories to college memories and spontaneous hangouts, we talk about the freedom, curiosity, and sense of community that shaped us.

But this episode isn’t just about the good old days. It’s also a reminder that adventure didn’t disappear as we got older. Sometimes, we just stopped looking for it.

So come laugh with us, remember a few questionable decisions, and maybe get inspired to step outside your comfort zone and create a few new memories of your own.

Because adventure might still be right around the corner.

162: The World Only Spins Once a Day — So Tranquilo, Foo & Enjoy the Ride

Sometimes you start a conversation about watching the sunset… and somehow end up talking about Tupac, American Me, Persian parties, dancing, cleaning out your garage, the price of beef, your kid growing up, Hollywood, and 70mm film. 😂

But somewhere in all the madness, we realized something:

Life is happening right now.

Put the phone down.

Watch the sunset.

Take your kid somewhere they'll remember.

Help a friend rebuild.

Go experience something new.

And maybe stop holding onto 15 years of shit in your garage. 😂

Because the world only spins once a day… and if you don't stop and look around every once in a while, you might miss the magic of life.

Gelindo hits the road for an unforgettable 4,000-mile journey with his 88-year-old mother, his brother, and one very unpredictable rescue dog known affectionately as the Devil Dog.

From Arizona to Wisconsin and back again, the road trip delivers everything: crazy drivers, thunderstorms, fishing, old friends, childhood memories, a broken radiator, and plenty of unexpected moments along the way.

But somewhere between the miles, Gelindo and his brother find themselves returning to places they haven't seen in nearly 50 years—revisiting memories of their childhood and honoring their father in a way neither of them could have planned.

What starts as a simple road trip turns into something much bigger.

It's about family. It's about memory. It's about slowing down long enough to appreciate where you've been—and realizing that sometimes, the journey takes you back to where it all began.

So buckle up and join us for YFNF Episode 161: The Long Way Home.

4,000 miles. 50 years of memories. And one Devil Dog. 🚗🐕🛣️

Road trips, questionable hotel rooms, soccer in 110-degree heat, weddings, and the realization that sometimes the best travel stories have nothing to do with the destination.

In this episode of Yhea Foo Nah Foo, the Foos talk about the highs and lows of traveling—finding the right hotel, knowing when to book, saving money on last-minute rooms, dealing with pet fees, and discovering that the $100 room isn't always better than the $70 one.

But somewhere between the hotel talk and the wedding, the conversation takes an unexpected turn.

A wedding becomes a reminder of how emotional life can be, how quickly our kids grow up, and how one moment can make you realize that time is moving a hell of a lot faster than you thought. Watching his daughter step into the wedding party—and later nail her toast—hits one of those fatherhood moments that sneaks up on you.

The Foos also talk about those rare people you meet who instantly feel like old friends, even when you've only known them for a few hours.

So grab your bags, check your hotel reservation, and hit the road with us.

It's Hotel Motel—but it's really an episode about the journey, the people you meet along the way, and realizing that the ride is going by a whole lot faster than you thought.

Yhea Foo Nah Foo — real conversations, real life, and a few questionable hotel rooms along the way.

Foo welcomes returning guest Nurse Ratched for an unfiltered conversation about her move from Venice Beach to Austin, Texas—and the culture shock, cost of living, community, dating, and politics that come with starting over. Then the conversation dives deep into the realities of modern healthcare: nurse burnout, corporate hospitals, medical billing, AI and telehealth, misinformation, “bro science,” GLP-1 medications, and why real medical expertise still matters. It’s a funny, candid, no-holds-barred episode about navigating a system that often feels built to exhaust everyone in it.
