we good, we live, we live, we live. Episode 20. Um, if you don't know, this is relationships worth more than money podcast. I am tweezy kennedy. Um, man, it's been a minute and the reason why it's been a minute is because you know I've been doing. How can you say, let me see, in Lamar's turn, I've just been a dad, been coach dad, and you know I'm a girl dad.
Speaker 1:So my daughters had Little League World Series things going on and before we even get to that they had tournaments in DC and both my daughters, elena won and Elyse won Tutti. They won a respective division or state championship for 10U and 12U. So as a coach for Elena's team and you know I come in and fill in when I can or when I need it to for 2D's team, but full-time coaching and um, I will say it's been man, it's been fun, uh, but the main thing about it is um, I didn't know if I was gonna really love softball like I I do. I really didn't think I was going to do that. I really focused more on how not to treat it as baseball, but all the fundamentals is pretty much the same. It's like here and there the pitching is different, but I wasn't trying to go into it as like, hey, this is me teaching me, it was me teaching Elena, me teaching Elise, and with that, you know, my kids and their team man, their respective teams. Man, they went undefeated the 12 you did. And we won the state tournament and was elected to go to the Little League World Series, the regional World Series, and we got there.
Speaker 1:We showed up pretty nice. And, first and foremost, shout out to Keith and Kevin man, the Mamie Johnson Little League team, the president and the coach Without them I wouldn't be able to be coaching for the girls and also shout out to the rest of the team, man, because that was great. It was just everything about the girls was great and it was like I had multiple daughters. I didn't just have two, I had 11, you know what I mean. And all the girls from Noel, kellen Carson, sean Dirty, aaron Sash, london, who else did I miss? Did I miss anybody? Oh, em Going off of all the bases, em at first, london at second, dirty at third, or short. Or Kellen Elena at catcher, kellen Carson. And oh, devin pitching. And yeah, man, all the girls, man, they, they, uh, they showed out, they showed out and um, unfortunately we didn't win.
Speaker 1:We lost both games, but the best thing about it it was just about you know, um, just the experience like being able to like be in a whole nother state, playing sports, playing something that you love, and networking and building friendships. All the girls built friendships with girls from. You know all different teams Massachusetts, connecticut, new Hampshire I think that was their dorm mates, new Hampshire. But yeah, man, it was definitely an eye-opener for myself as a coach. It taught me how to be prepared more coach. It taught me how to be prepared more. It taught me how to enter each game and each practice different but, at the end of the day, something I love. I love sports. I love baseball. Baseball is my favorite sport and now softball is my favorite sport because my daughter's playing and even if they don't play, I know I will be coaching more. Um, hopefully, I'll be coaching for the middle school team that my daughter go to and um, we'll start from there.
Speaker 1:But other than that, shout out to y'all man, because y'all, y'all like for real, like the relatives, y'all, like y'all really been asking yo when the next episode, when the next episode, when this, when that, when this, and y'all really are tuned in and when I took this break I didn't know, like, how I was going to be able to bounce back into the potting because my focus was all on on sports. But I always check my, my, um, my stats and see, like, who watching my uh podcast, who watching the reels, who watching the YouTube shorts, and y'all are watching them and I appreciate that. Um, we already have 600 followers. Um, let's try to get to a K 1000. And uh, now we just need to get the watch hours for real and then I can start collecting um some monetary, um residuals from this. But uh, again, shout out to y'all Uh, let's, let's, let's, get into it. Um.
Speaker 1:So one of the first topics, my best friend Kui Cuisines. She gave me some dope topics and also shout out to Dara. Dara also gave me some insight on some things I should talk about, because they've both been saying I need to just do a podcast by myself. So here I am doing this podcast by myself in the cut.
Speaker 1:So we're going to talk about standing on business and the pain and the gain of standing 10 toes down. You can just really like I'm really I'm really a man of of many words, but when it comes to standing on business. Just know, um, some things you really gotta you gotta take in consideration and some things you just have to have. A, a, a, no, uh, what you call it. Um, non-negotiable things are non-negotiable. Things are non-negotiable when it comes to me. Ie disrespect, you know what I mean, loyalty, those are main two. I go with those, disrespect and loyalty, just off the simple fact, like we all grow, grow from different backgrounds, and you know me, coming from Detroit, um, I was always taught to stand on 10 toes because, like you know, I mean, if your word ain't it, you ain't really valuable out there in the streets and you're not valuable out there in the real world.
Speaker 1:Um, so we, uh, well, we, me, I've been, you know, I mean, doing a little bit of transitioning since I've been here in maryland and, um, right now, I know a lot of people been, you know, asking uh for music and stuff like that. But if you pay attention, I've been dropping something, a single or instrumental something every month, but, uh, for sure, my birthday I just talked to Newland Um, we're going to drop something for my birthday, hopefully, uh, but if we don't drop for my birthday, we definitely going to drop for September, because I'm always working, always working, and TenZero is still in effect. So I hope y'all didn't think that that was gone. I've been dropping everything I've done on TenZero's music group. That's me. I'm the CEO, producer, engineer, and that's what it is like. So, no matter what I do in life, I'm going to create relationships, I'm going to build relationships, but I'm also going to delete relationships just because, if they're not for me or you start noticing the way people move and when people start moving, funny, you gotta, you gotta.
Speaker 1:Pop smoke is what we say in the military. You know what I mean. Because pop smoke and get up out of there, and there ain't no disrespect to pop smoke, rest in peace. To pop smoke, it's just a terminology we used to say when we literally would be extracting ourselves or snipers or somebody else from a house. We will pop smoke, extract the people, get them on our trucks and we get up out of there and drop them off to the next location. So that's what I'm doing. I'm pretty much maneuvering. It's just me maneuvering, doing my music thing and at the end of the day, that's what it is. You know what I mean. There's nothing, no, there's nothing wrong with it. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:Sometimes you have to transition in life when you see that people aren't good for you. You know what I mean, and it's not just anybody. The people know good for you. You know what I mean, and it's not just anybody. The people know who they are. You know what I mean and at the end of the day, I have a non-negotiable with fuck shit. At the end of the day, I just don't have time for it. You know what I mean. Anything else, anything else, no, nothing else, no, nothing else. Okay, so we're going to go to the next thing.
Speaker 1:Um, overcoming adversity, uh, navigating life when the odds are stacked against you, uh, I think I've been adversity's probably been my middle name as a kid, as an adult, all of that. As a kid, as an adult, all of that. Since I've been in this world, I've been hit with adversity, no matter what as a child, growing up, as a teenager and then joining the Marine Corps adversity, you know, when you join something of that statureature, you understand like it ain't just about you, but at the end of the day, this is your career. So things that I've dealt with in the Marine Corps, ie PTSD, blatant, blatant racism, uh, and I'm not trying to bash the military, because I recommend everybody to go to the military, but it's this thing that I uh dealt with and, um, the best thing to do and I learned adversity in the Marine Corps, uh is just, you know, adapt and overcome. That's one of the things that was always taught as a Marine is to always adapt and overcome. So I was able to maneuver through my career in the Marine Corps, even though it got cut short because of the war. Marine Corps, even though it got cut short because of the war, they pretty much forced out like 40,000 Marines out of the military.
Speaker 1:When Obama wanted to bring all the troops back because that's what you know, that was his thing he wanted to do and I'm not knocking him for, but at the end of the day it had me transition to civilian world way quicker than I wanted to do. My goal was to plan to do 20. It would have been 20 years this year, actually January 04, I joined January 04, I would have been 20 and I would have been retired or I'd probably still been in, because the military is easy. 20 and I'd have been retired, or I'd probably still been in, because the military is easy. It's just some people in the military that can really test your patience, or play, try to play with you. But you got to stand on business. You got to stand ten toes and learn how to adapt and overcome, because it's never. It's never the military, it's the people in the military that might hinder you. But I had way more pros than cons being a Marine and I always will represent being a Marine in any branch.
Speaker 1:So, being able to apply what I learned in the Marines and transition out into the civilian world, it helped me communicate in a different term, in a different way as far as with civilians, because the way we communicate in the military is not the same way we communicate in the real world. And, um, I had to take out a lot of uh, curse words when I'm dealing with certain people. Uh, because I'm telling you yeah, your vocabulary definitely have some explicitives. Um, might be your first 10 words, but I learned how to. You know transition and you know talk, my talk, but do it the way I do it and respectfully, tactfully, and that's it. So that's it for the overcoming adversity. What else we got? What else we got? Oh, music saved my life, I think. What was it? Second grade, I was attending Faith Christian Academy back home in Detroit on Nevada, in. What was that? Van Dyke, if y'all know, you know, you know. Now it's called Perfection Church. So I'm giving y'all some game for the people that's from back home.
Speaker 1:My brother was a saxophone player and he had his instructor. Band instructor was Mr Mack. I ended up having Mr Mack as my band instructor, but it was his brother Best person I ever met when it came to music. When I joined the Marine Corps, I had backed out of being a. I didn't want to be a band geek in high school and I continued to play sports, but I ditched the music and I played all elementary and middle school. When I joined the Marine Corps I noticed something was missing in my life and I started catching on because my best friend Kadeem we was in boot camp, everything together, boot camp, mct, mos school. I think when we got to MOS school is where everything started hitting as far as music. He loved the same music I like, I like the same music he liked, and he was putting me on artists too, cause you know, I'm from Detroit and I listened to a lot of South music, down South music, but he was really putting me on like Camouflage. Rest in Peace, boosie. And you know what I'm saying. Like all of that of that, like I didn't, I never heard of it.
Speaker 1:So when we got to the Fleet In Cali, um, we just, you know, stayed with sharing music. And you know, back then, linewire, you had Linewire, you had Uh, napster, you had all these Different programs. You know how to get music, and I was like Hands down the these different programs, you know how to get music, and I was like hands down, king of mixtapes. I used to get all the mixtapes the Duke, the God mixtapes, the DJ Clues, the DJ Envys, the DJ K Slay rest in peace. Like it was everybody's mixtape that was popping. I would go on these sites and get them.
Speaker 1:So we ended up deploying to Iraq in 05, our first time, to Ramadi Truck Company and like we were in the thick of it, man, and I was like man, like we get there, we land, and I felt a ground shaking and I'm like what the hell is that? And then I just heard this loud explosion and, um, I just seen this big mushroom cloud and I was like yo, what the hell? And I look over to the left, look over to the right, to the rest of the marines and somebody I forgot who it was, I think it was my staff sergeant or somebody he was like welcome to Iraq. And I was just like, oh, we in this shit.
Speaker 1:So after that we had this thing called the PX. If you don't know, the PX is a store. It's like your convenience store. You can go and get whatever snacks, music, so it's like a mini Best Buy or a mini Walmart-type store. Because the PX for the military they got it different. Everybody calls theirs something. The NEX, navy BX is, I think, the Air Force and the Army. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:So ours was the PX. We would go there and I was a fan and I'm still a fan of XXL magazine, even though they've been falling off. But XXL magazine is what kept me in tune with music and kept me, you know, current with the culture and the hip-hop culture and all of that. So me and Kadeem, you know, check out the, the uh, the double excel magazines or whatever. And um, we, we found out that it was like some, some artists was coming out. One was named Young Jeezy, the other one named was Gucci man and you know, we just stayed in tune with them and, sure enough, couple months later their tapes came out and they was able to, we was able to purchase them in Iraq. So, mind you know this, this was back in the day. So we had bought some DVD players, portable DVD players, cause we drove trucks or whatever. So we needed music to. You know, ride out to and, um, we jamming. And I'm like man, like this Jeezy hard Thug, motivation 101, gucci man, trap House, just jamming.
Speaker 1:And I feel like the music saved my life because I was in and out of combat almost every other day, um, when I was there, the first deployment, and I promise you, every, every time I went home to the, you know, went to the hut, got a, got a couple hours in to go to sleep like I was listening to music. Listen to music, listen to music. I'm on a plane listen to music. We on the helicopters listen to music, I'm listening to music everywhere, we at um, so of course you know I get out, I'm still listening to music. Um, I'm still doing music producing and I feel like to me, uh, music saved my life because when I had them low places either, from having nightmares sweating in my sleep, spazzing, letting everything get to me, trying to fight everybody, music always kept me going.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, music saved my life for real, because even with my daughters, before they was born, I literally used to put headphones and turn the music up beneath the stomach so they can listen to the music, and they used to move around every time they heard it. So I think that's one of our gems that we share with each other. We love music. I call them my little A&Rs because they listen to music that I probably would never listen to, but they got taste. Both of them got taste. They put me on a lot of new artists. So I definitely say music saved my life to this day, and it's always a song that hits home when I'm going through certain things. So, yeah, music, music definitely is my sanctuary outside of being in the in the crib peace, you see the speakers and stuff. So, yeah, music, music saved my life.
Speaker 1:Um, next, what we got? What we got embracing change and life and the music industry and your health journey let's talk about it. Oh, I got a love and hate relationship with the gym, simply because when I first, before I, joined the Marine Corps, I, like I was just so naturally talented, like gifted, and I, I was like a human garbage disposal. I eat everything, but I was so active. Sports I'm either down the street at my boy, john's crib, or down the street at other Antoine's crib. We balling, we playing sports, we playing street football, we on the bikes, we doing something, joining the Marine Corps Running, running, running, running, running, running Sports Still active, I'm like working out every day, running every day.
Speaker 1:Man Hiking, oh my God, hiking 20 miles, 15 miles, depending on the unit, you know what I mean hiking up mountains, all of that. So when I got out at the Marine Corps, I was just like man, I can't stop. So I was still going and I think I had hit a wall, probably in about 2019, yeah, like 2019, 2020. And I was was like I'm tired of working out and then, boom, covid hits. So now I'm definitely not working out. Um, and I was okay. You know I'm saying I was fine, you know. I mean I'm a foodie. If you know me, you know I'm a foodie. But, um, I had to, I had to, I had to adjust, because I started seeing myself like I always look at myself when I, when I'm in america, sometimes I talk to myself and I and I say positive things to myself, but then I'm like trying to say positive things to myself but then I'm like trying to say positive things and I'm like dog, you ain't even looking right. What's up with you. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:So I jumped back in the gym and of course shout out Kadeem. Kadeem was like bro, you got to get back in the gym, you got to do something. You know what I mean, because you're sitting in the house like you can't just be just chilling. Man like you got you gotta. I know it's tough he's like, but you gotta get back. And I think after like second and third time he said that I got back in the gym and I actually go to the same corporation one life that he go to, because I seen his gym and I'm like yo, that's really dope where you're joining it, but you know he all the way down in virginia, so luckily they have some up here. I started hitting the gym, been hitting the gym crazy. I took a break when I went to Connecticut for the Little League World Series and I've been back in the gym, definitely going tomorrow.
Speaker 1:But you don't necessarily have to go to the gym to get a workout in. I just want you all to know If you just go take a walk, if you, you know what I mean. Walk up your stairs multiple times. Just get outside, is the thing. Get outside, walk around, run.
Speaker 1:I got a bike, got it fixed, then a joint I don't know how it got flat again. The tires got flat. Shout out to what is it Hoffie Cycling? Shout out to Matt Matt, one of my homies. He got his company and he got to fix my tires. Bro, matt put on my new. He put on oh, my seat was bad. That's what happened. My seat went bad and I didn't know it, but he was riding a bike. After he fixed it, he did his, you know his, his pmcs preventive maintenance on it, his preventive maintenance checks. And, um, he put new pedals on there because it had them, them little, uh, road bike pedals, and I ain't got none of them. Shoes, I can't stand them shoes. But yeah, he fixed it. So now I got to go back and get it fixed again because the seat is broke and so I can go ride with the girls.
Speaker 1:The girls, man, they be doing everything. I'm trying to keep up with my daughter, so they super active. So that was another thing thing too. I wanted to be able to be active for them, because I know, um, as a coach, you have to show the kids. So I felt like if I'm not showing them, they're not gonna never understand it. I can say it all day, but if I get out there and show them and run laps with them and all of that, they see. See that, okay, like, oh, coach Antoine is what they call me. Coach Antoine, he know what he doing. I know what he mean when he say this. I know what this mean when he mean this. Yeah, so it's been a journey.
Speaker 1:I've been eating semi-better. I ain't going to lie to you, I'm a foodie. I ain't eating super, super healthy, but I'm definitely incorporating more fruit, more greens. I kind of stay away from the fried food, but if I'm back at home though it's off limits or if I'm in a nice state, I'm definitely going to partake. Ie California Shout out to Mailman Evan Ruri and my bro Paul, my family that's out there.
Speaker 1:I normally try to get out there at least once a year. But, yeah, if I'm out there with them, definitely going to indulge into some good eating. But, yeah, wealth is health. But, yeah, wealth is health. After every time I pray, I always say Whatever my prayer is you know, guide me, help me see, help me understand, da-da-da-da-da, in Jesus' name wealth and health, amen. So I always do that. So every time I pray, I always say wealth and health, because you know wealth is something that I would love to have, not just money-wise, monetarily, just wealth. You know what I mean have investments, have things that you know what I mean I can pass down to my kids and their kids and their kids' kids and health you and their kids and their kids' kids and health. You know what I mean Because I lost my cousin Quez a couple years ago and to this day they said it was a heart attack or cardiovascular whatever.
Speaker 1:But I ain't going for it, but I'm just going off what they're saying. So Quez is only 40. I'll be 39 this year. So of course I've been trying to schedule things, get my EKG, everything checked for me. But, yeah, health is everything. So take care of yourself.
Speaker 1:If y'all not like, take a small, small step. A small step can become a big step, just like how you always say the small things turn into the big things and that's when things go overboard or the avalanche build up. In order for avalanche to build, you got to start with the small steps. So you got to start positively with the small steps to get yourself better health-wise and mentally. So, yeah, my life journey, my health journey, has been a roller coaster, but I do feel better and I'm hitting my VA appointments a little bit more now, even though the VA sucks. I'm just going to put that out there. Va in DC sucks I ain't going to say everywhere else, because Fort Belvoir actually took care of me when I was there, but the VA in DC sucks and like I had to schedule an appointment for my knee and I don't got an appointment to October and this was like two, two months ago, like the first available appointment was October. So, yeah, take that and run with it. But, um, what's next? My future, my future, hopefully, I'm doing this.
Speaker 1:You know potting, I love to pot, I love to, I love to talk to people, I love to understand what they life like. I think me being a recruiter also pays heavy to why I like talking to people, because I tell people all the time I'm not a people person but I can communicate with anybody. I'm a social butterfly but I'm not a people person. So I think that's why a lot of times people are like yo, you don't look approachable and I'm like I don't be doing nothing, I just be chilling. But yeah, potting. This is the 20th episode.
Speaker 1:I try to do things. If I do start the next season, it'll definitely be off of 10. Everything's in 10s, I like mine's in 10s. 10s, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, everything in 10s. Sos, 30s, 40s, 50s, everything in 10s. So potting, hopefully I ain't even going to cap.
Speaker 1:I'm a gamer. If you see the PS5, I'm a gamer. If I can get my streaming thing going too, that'll be another great residual income. And of course, you know the music, my machine, my dang on theory, board music, music will always be with me. So it's like I, whatever I feel like being creative or if I'm being inspired by other producers, other artists or music that I hear I start. You know I go back and create more, but lately it ain't been a lot. It ain't been a lot Ever since Drake and Kendrick stopped the feuding. Like it ain't been a lot of music.
Speaker 1:But I will say that DJ Mustard album definitely fire top to bottom. Who else's album? Oh, boss man D-Lo. Shout out to Boss man, d-lo, me and Mel man. Definitely Mel man be jamming to that. I'm trying to think it ain't really much. I mean, it's a few singles. The Big Shine new single, tough.

Speaker 1:Oh, traveling with my pod, actually going out and getting to different um cities, states and interviewing bigger people, or even, like my whole thing of relationships worth more than money is. You don't have to be a known person, but I want to know your lifestyle, I want to know your story. Maybe your story can help inspire somebody else to go do something or do something that you're doing. But yeah, oh, I want to. I'm going to speak it now. I'm going to interview Wallow, gilly and Wallow, because they were the first ones to inspire me to do it. And, of course, you know Gilly and I've been rocking with Gilly for the longest, with major figures and Wallo's story coming out of prison and turning his life around and hustling and going to PodCon. That's what really got me going. That's where I started this for real.
Speaker 1:Podcon last year was super dope. He's like he spent all that money and we didn't have to pay nothing just to come get free game. Charlamagne was there. Believe the girl, the lady from shade room, was there. He had a bunch of insight, people to teach you how to build your credit up, how to run your business.

So Detroit, I was a diehard Detroit, everything I have all the teams on my arm, except the Pistons and I'm a huge Pistons fan. But when I got out the Marines and I was doing my sleeve session, my boy, he made it. He made the little, I guess, the little layout, the little thing, the cutout for it, and all I had to do is take it to somebody and they'll put it on my arm and a little ink, a drain. Come on, it was the old school piston, like the Grant Hill pistons with the horse, that joint. It was that one. I didn't get it. I'm going to get it, though I didn't get it, but I was diehard.
Speaker 1:Everything Detroit because of Barry Sanders. Barry Sanders, to this day, is my favorite running back and there's some dope running backs, but right now, right up under Barry Sanders, right now is Derrick under Barry Sanders, right now is Derrick Henry because he's on the Ravens, but anywho, nah, I was a diehard Lions fan, I ain't gonna lie. Me and Quez went to the. We went to the game. I wasn't a Lions fan, but I was still supporting.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean, calvin Johnson. Because you know what I mean, calvin Johnson, because you know what I mean, that was the last time we had like something big like that until now. They got a dope squad now, but Calvin Johnson broke that record. I think it was Herman Moore record, Herman Moore or Johnny Morton, don't get me wrong. Correct me, whatever. I'll figure it out when I edit. I'll find it out. But Calvin Johnson broke the record. Me and Quez was there having a time Turning up, but I left.
Speaker 1:When Barry left, that man was fighting for his life. Every time they said hike. He never had a line, never had a stable coach. And they made it to the playoffs a few times and I remember the last time they made it I think they played was it the Jets or somebody? No, it was. They didn't play the Jets, it was right. Before they made it to the playoffs they was like nine and seven or something and I remember a Jets player getting injured. I think he ended up having a career-ending injury. And when they didn't sign, they didn't give them a new contract and they wouldn't trade them. Hell, they could have traded them to the Dolphins.
Speaker 1:I still would have been a Barry Sanders fan, because that's how I am now with sports. I'm a players fan. The team's cool. I'm still Detroit. Everything except the Lions, that's it. I'm Detroit everything. But when it comes to the players, I like players and what they stand for and I like their journey.
Speaker 1:Again, detroit Red Wing. Steve Eisenman, chris Osgood the Tiger, cecil Fielder man, tony Clark, prince Fielder man, I'm, uh man, tony clark. Uh, prince fielder. Um man, I'm I'm still a fan of detroit, like you know, saying like I'm a fan. But uh, yeah, even when detroit shock was there, I remember I used to go. Well, my substitute teacher used to take us down and try to be like the little shock, little dancers or the people that be like, passing out the towels and shirts, and I was even a Detroit Shock fan and we had Swing Cash and I remember, man, them was the days.
Speaker 1:But I'm just not a Lions fan. I root for y'all. You know what I mean. Like, that's one thing about me. I'm not going to hate you. You got a good team, you got a good team. But I'm also a realist. You know what I mean too. So, like, shout out to the Lions, shout out to everybody over there Hutch, jared, goff, st Brown, amara yeah, man, y'all got a squad now, y'all got a squad. Y'all got a squad now. Y'all got a squad, y'all got some young talent.
Speaker 1:But I'm a Ravens fan. So when Barry left Keep it a thought while when Barry left I didn't have a team, but me and my brother and my cousins we always played Madden. Since Madden been out. Then 2K came out and I was trying to figure out my team. So my team was the Buccaneers. I would play with the Buccaneers for like two years. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:But I was still a Ravens fan because of Ray Lewis, jamal Lewis. They had pretty much picked up from Cleveland and drove over to Baltimore and I remember all of that Cause I'm like a sports fanatic when it comes to stuff like that, like the history of sports and things of that nature. So, uh, I've been a Ravens fan since Ray Lewis. Uh, I remember, uh, who was it? Ray Lewis, jamal Lewis? Dion came. I think he had like number 37 or something, some wild number Deion Kane, ed Reed what's a buddy that they did dirty. Oh, ray Rice, I had the Ray Rice jersey. I had the Ray Rice jersey. I had the Ed Reed jersey back in like 2000, early 2000s, yeah, around that time I had it because I had moved here in 2009. I got stationed in Quantico. So, yeah, definitely been a big flock fan. Baltimore is right up the street now.
