Make a little Ultra enjoy responsibly oh La, it's Rossa in Sanchez from the He Said a podcast, And just like Hand, I'm here to speak the truth, like the one that electric cars take a long time to charge Nuez Verdad and the all electric Handai Ionic lineup has ultra fast charging, taking cars listen from ten

to eighty percent in as little as eighteen minutes. When it comes to the bunking myths, Hand is thinking of every mile. Handa, it's your journey, proud partner of Michael Tura podcast Network. When is the Senota? When was the ass? Losman? I got your coffee ready and I'm gonna make you some old meal. Yes, yes, I don't know if I can eat anything this morning. After that visit last night with Adelita, that girl is going to be the end of me. Keep us so she doesn't know what she's doing.

Ista Sea, you too. She's so talented, Senyoda, I think she can do anything, So I should just let her risk it all, let her you know what I mean, I Losma, If that girl only knew everything I gave up for her, all the sacrifices I made to make sure that she had the career that she's had. Sometimes I feel like she doesn't even care. No, Senyoda. Our kids never really understand the sacrifices that we make for them,

and sometimes they even resent us for them. But you know the funny thing is I came to this side of the border so that I could make more money and give my kids a better life. All these years later, all grown up and the only title whom at us from our pueblito with a college degree, and they're still upset that they only get to see me on weekends. I'm sorry that must be hard, but I did what I had to do, and here I am complaining about a daughter who has never left my side. You know

what we need to do? Switch rolls. I know too late for that. We need to find you a man. Definitely too late for that. I send you. You're not even fifty. Don't tell who has time. It's time that your life be more than just about Adelita. Hey man, thanks for coming over, Alita Wisdom here? What is Wisdom doing here? I called him, told that you needed an extra bush. Oh you real? You go just hear him out.

If the answer still know, I'll back off. I promise I'll be down in a few God ya man, I gotta say I never thought at Elite would be so hard to get man to be honest. This side of Alita has surprised me too. I mean, the woman asked me to marry her to take show up for good. About that? That's crazy? What up? Yo? But tell me, tell me real talk. How do you want to handle it? Because you know I tarred double for therapy, says, so you eat that. I can't. I don't just talk to

her an artist, artist, you know what you're doing. I guess my husband had to bring in reinforcements, whatever it takes. Right, At least you're not running away from me this time. I know. I'm sorry. Yeah, I don't know what happened at the studio. Come here, bab sit I mean adelite. I usually can't get the ladies to leave me alone, but then you ran away. I'm like, what happened? Oh? Well, there's a first time for everything. Look, there's just so

much I didn't consider about this crossover thing. Was I got caught up in what I thought was a good idea, you know, an easy fix, but never thought beyond that that's not the smartest way to launch a new career. Oh that's one way to look at it. Another way is when an opportunity lands on your lap, take that ship, like, what's up? Okay, look at Alita. I'm not just here

to convince you to do the Grammars with me. That's not what this is about at all, because you know that getting someone to perform with me would only take a phone call. You know that, right? Yeah? I do know. But believe it or not, there was a time when I couldn't get anyone to return my calls. No, you mean to tell me you weren't always the biggest hip

hop artist in the world. I know it's hard to believe, right because I mean, you know what, but the truth is, Man, for years I try to get a record deal and no one would sign me. Is that really true? And the God I sent my demo tapes to every big, medium size, and small record label in the country more than once, and they ain't hit back from a single one. Wow. I mean once in a while they would be like an and all guy showing up at one of my gigs in New York, but you know, small club showcases.

Nothing would ever come from that until it did. Till it did when I stopped copying everybody else, there wasn't an original. I did any of my tracks then. I mean, I thought if I replicated what Yay or Wayne or jay Z was doing, I get signed ship. I even tried copying eminem after Relapse came out and sold five million plus world Why so what changed? Happened? On January two thousand and nine, just a few days after Oscar Grant was killed by a cop, when I wrote that

song Emmin and Oscar. Oh wow, that song was huge. Just like emminate Oscar, they see me and monster twenty two years young. A brother looked like me, won't ever see twenty three till his head took a knee, gunned down with his hands locked while cops sit and watch. Just like Emmin and Oscar, they see us as monsters. The skin. We didn't get us sent to the pen like Immedate Oscar. Two black angels taking way too soon. I dedicate this to you. Wow, man, I ain't even

bother to produce the song. It was just so raw motional. Let me think about it. Oscar was the exact age I was at the time, twenty two years old. Man. I just needed to get that shit out there, like I uploaded it to SoundCloud. Video take myself doing the song, then uploaded the video to YouTube and people started to find it and share it, and you know the rest.

I mean from not alone. I made enough money to self produce my first album, no record label, no manager, and I'm gonna tell you this, for the first time, I didn't want anyone to influence what I was doing. I was gonna fail or succeed doing my own thing. To my surprise, shit blew up. That's what got you signed by Rizzle at a A g right yep em in Oscar and everything that has come after that song

is what drives me to this day. Not the label, not my agent's, not my manager, death nearly, not Marcos, wanting my music to say something, to find who I would be as an artist, and it gave me clarity. Now your situation is a little different. I mean, you've had great albums, you're an incredible songwriter, and you brought this this new dope energy to say hand on music after Selina. You know, I love Selina, but look, man,

you should be proud of all of that. But if that's not what you want to be doing anymore, then you really shouldn't be forced to ad leite to come on. You've got a lot of people pulling strings for you, but no one, and I mean no one, but you should be making this decision him. As a dad, actor, producer, and activist, my schedule fills up fast, and as we

Hello, hello, mom, We're changing the locks if she keeps doing that. Prodrigo. The door was open, so don't kill me. Hey, miss pass so right, it's good to see you, Wisdom. Hi, this is a surprise. What are you doing here? He was? He just came bright. He's stopping and say hello. They've been taking care of me. Atalita was afraid I'd get

lonely with my break up for whatever reason. And rod Riego just want to feed me. And you know him. He thinks a whole made mill is a kill foot. Everything he's cooking does tend to make me feel better. Hey, maybe you don't get cocky. Your the money making skills still need some work. So how are you doing? Wisdom? Is the press leaving you alone? A man? Let's just say, I'm glad I came back to El Paso. I'm sorry to hear it didn't work out with Zoya. I hope

it was for the best. Why be with someone who don't want to be with you? Have you found her replacement by the Grammys? I mean I'm thinking about just having portion stepping, you know, one of my backup singers. I like that idea. Keep it low key, not bring any more attention to the break up. I think you're making the right decision. Well thanks, Well, I'm sorry I barged in. I just need to discuss a couple of quick things with you, Adelita and so have you signed

some documents? All right, why don't we all move to the kitchen. Rodrigo was about to make lunch, right, babe? Yeah? Any requests wisom except the mals apparently? Listen, man, I'll eat anything you make, yeah, even the nasty as. I'm just playing. I'm just playing. I got you back so good, a ra you need a head, Nah, that's it. Relax I'll keep it simple, Lance Plice tomatoes. Okay, So first

things first, you need to talk to Marcos. I think it will appease everyone at the label if you assure him you'll be delivering the two the Hano albums left on your contract. I told him you would, but I think it would be nice if you heard it from you. Obviously, this will all be after your vacation, but just call him, all right, Sure, as long as the conversation includes a plan for me to transition out of the Hannah Musa. Okay, but you know me, that's still going to be a

couple of years away. Are you sure you want to bring that up now? Well, you did say I hadn't thought through all the implications of my announcement, So let's do it right, Let's give everyone enough time. You do know that this is not just a label and Marco's conversation, though, what do you mean? Well, let me remind you you're not only at the Handle Singer, You're at the Hanu brand. And as you know, the brands were also alarmed by

your announcement. So we'll have to set up meetings with the cosmetic line, the clothing line, the Cowboy boots company, the salsa company, the publishing company that those are Mother Daughter cooking books, and the publishing company that's about to go to Prinds on the children's book series. Damn, really, Adelita would never say this, wisdom, But my daughter is as big in it the handle world as you are in the hip hop world. Oh God, please don't listen

to her. Our careers are not even close in equal comparison what they could be. Prodrico, your onions are burning. Let's just start setting up those brand meetings as well. We'll look at every contract and get a sense of how long we have left on each one. Then we can decide which ones we don't renew and which ones might be able to transition with me. You want to do all this now? At the same time, we might as well have it all laid out and deal with it. Weha.

I don't know. Here's the thing, Mom. Don't you think it's kind of crazy that I've never made most of the recipes in our cookbooks Prodrico does all the cooking around here, Or that I'm writing a children's book series and I don't even have kids. Well, what's done is done, and what's done can be undone. All right, I'll pull the contracts and we can see where we are. Great, lunch is served? How about time? Great, I'll go wash

my hands, be right back. Wow, that was interesting. What the fact that none of what you guys talked about had anything to do with music? It makes me wonder. I mean you an artist or a product.
