A Professional Tacoma Cheesemonger On MF Doom And Local Flavor

A certified cheesemonger who can also talk MF DOOM bars without blinking is exactly the kind of guest that turns a live podcast into something you can’t make up. We’re posted up at Pizza Time Pub on Sixth Avenue with Kijon Underwood, letting the conversation bounce between hip hop nerdery, neighborhood truth, and the everyday craft of working a cheese counter at Metropolitan Market in Proctor. 

We get into why DOOM’s wordplay, samples, and mask-era mythology still hit, then flip it into the most important question nobody asked: what cheese would MF DOOM actually buy, and would he recommend it with a straight face. From there we go full Tacoma food and drink mode, swapping picks like Peaks and Pints for day drinking, Tacoma Pie for a dependable bite, and late-night moves like Eurobytes when you need something that still slaps after hours. 

Kijon also breaks down what makes a truly special cheese worth the price, including Rogue River Blue, plus the difference between real quality and grocery store theater. Along the way we hit Tacoma changes, the Tacoma Aroma backstory, dive bars, tattoos, a quick cameo from Del Brown with a Tacoma Mission Thrift plug, and the kind of wild Sixth Avenue stories locals recognize instantly. If you like Tacoma culture, craft food, and hip hop talk that doesn’t take itself too seriously, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave us a review.

SPEAKER_10 4:48

Yeah, when I was five or six, like that was that was in the in the um the forefront of what is something I wanted to do. Like, I wanted to join the little league hockey team, and I went there and realized how fucking cold and terrible it was, so I didn't do it.

SPEAKER_06 5:05

Was it like extra expensive to get the skates and to get the whole all the gear and shit, or was that not a problem?

SPEAKER_10 5:09

Um, not for me. I was six.

SPEAKER_06 5:12

Yeah, well, I mean, so so you tried to play, so you were on skates for a little bit, and then you just had like one day you were done, or like a week you were done, or no, we just went inside and I just realized that I didn't want to fucking do that shit.

SPEAKER_10 5:22

Oh, you didn't even put the skates on. Oh, hell no. I love it. But I I did learn how to skate. I mean, I've always skateboarded and shit. Um, but I learned how to roller skate when I was like four. Um and so I've always been on wheels or something that'll you know break a bone or something.

SPEAKER_06 5:38

You know, like back in the day in RIP to I forgot what the fucking skate place was called, man, but you know, like when you back in middle school cats back in Tacoma uh by AMC Theater up in there, like in the west side of Tacoma, kind of like Mildred Street, kind of that area.

SPEAKER_06 6:29

Oh no, and I was like fucking out there lord skating, you know, doing couple skating, trying to fucking match these. I didn't say that. But trying to, you know, I mean, that was back then, it's okay. Um, but yeah, dude. Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_10 6:43

Yeah, we uh yeah, there was this place right there by the hot chicken place. Uh it's called Thrill Zone. So that was okay, Thrill Zone started that that started when I was in middle school, so 10 years later from you, because we're about 10 years. Um but the crazy thing about that, I was talking to my homie about that place, and I was like, hey, you remember that dope ass skate park? He's like, Yeah, yeah, blah, blah. And I go, hey man. I go, you remember that birthday party we went to there? Oh yeah. And he goes, I go, whose birthday was that? And he goes, he goes, Are you fucking serious, bro? I go, what do you mean?

Um, dude, that that's fucking beautiful though, man. I'm gonna start fucking hitting you with some random questions, duh, because you know what? We we podcast and I need to, you know, stop fucking being so sporadic and going off topic. Even though we're not on our topic right now. Oh, hold on.

MF Doom Meets The Cheese Counter

unknown 7:57

What the devil is on another level.

SPEAKER_06 7:59

It's a word, no one name. MF, the super villain. And look, I and I gotta say this, guys, I'm not gonna say idle, because you know what, you you know, idol, but I mean like MF Doom was a fucking is is one of Kijon's favorite, if not his fucking dude, as far as the music goes. Absolutely. Am I not lying? Yeah, that's one thing I remember about you when we first met. That's one of the things that drew us together, kind of like MF Doom, I was like, man, he just passed kind of too.

SPEAKER_10 8:22

Yeah, that was that was the year he passed, I'm pretty sure.

SPEAKER_06 8:27

Um, that's crazy shit, man. Um and I, you know, I actually have some questions for you being a cheesemonger and being a fucking MF Doom fan, right? Yeah. And I'm gonna, I mean, I'm skating all the way there right now. But keep on going though. You said right around the time we met, was that that that was Magoose? Yeah. Right around that time.

SPEAKER_10 8:45

Yeah, and I think that was right around when MF Doom died. And uh that was uh that was interesting because I I've always had the philosophy about like like artists and stuff. It's just like if it was nothing personal, like yeah, that's a it's a sad cap on you know the the getting this this art or whatever this this art form and you know and at some point you know it's it's a human life, but like I just never had that connection like that. And then like the MF Doom thing, I was just like, man, I just feel bad. Like for you know, it's just like moping, you know what I mean.

SPEAKER_06 9:14

Well, I mean, and he's got that kind of like melancholy kind of vibe, but it's all positive kind of in the in the end, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_10 9:22

Yeah, it yeah, it feel it feels proverbial, if anything, like you know, watch for the snakes in the garden type shit, and you're just like okay.

SPEAKER_06 9:29

Well yeah, you gotta like figure it out, which is fucking dope. That's what music used to be, you know.

SPEAKER_10 9:33

Yeah, that's that's the biggest thing for me. Everything's riddle. And I just yeah, I like I like that. I like the wordplay, I like uh digging, you know, like all the samples, like that's that's one of my favorite things to fucking do. Like, dude, I got some crazy on records on records.

SPEAKER_06 9:46

Well, shit. Yeah. Hey, let's get right into these fucking Doom questions, dude. Like or corroborating questions that have to do with MF Doom and your fucking job. Okay, so if he's like up in the building, bro, if he comes into your job and you're just like, what the fuck? I know hold on. Actually, I got I I got uh Well, I got man, I got I'm such a fucking jackfuck here. Let's ask him in the order that I that I wrote him. So if MF Doom walked into the fucking Met, right?

SPEAKER_09 10:15

Right, right, right.

SPEAKER_06 10:16

And he sees you, and you're the only uh fucking off of obviously the only official cheesemonger there, what cheese is he asking you for? What cheese do you think MF Doom was asking you to don't tell the government cheese? Um that's tough, you know. Um like out of all the because he's pretty fucking smart, dude.

SPEAKER_10 10:36

I was gonna say, and you know, he he actually um is from the UK. So what? Yeah, you didn't know that. I mean MF Doom was originally from the UK before he lived in New York. Um so like as far as that, um and when he died, he died in the UK. Um so Well he ended up on the West Coast for a while too, right? Um very briefly, um, I I believe, but like I think most of the influence was like New York and Well, you can tell that in this production and his fucking even his clever ass raps like we just talked about a second ago, you know what I mean? Right, right. But the but the cool thing is like uh up like before he he passed, like what you're seeing now is is um all these all these little what is what is that? Some whiskey?

SPEAKER_06 11:23

Sure you're taking a share some whiskey, yeah. Share whiskey here in the Like It Ornot podcast.

SPEAKER_10 11:34

Oh, that's cool. I'll just take the whiskey.

SPEAKER_06 11:35

Yeah. And if a hattered MF Doom, or no, you were you just finishing something off, right?

SPEAKER_10 11:41

Well, it's um so if you look at some I I never got into like big big into the UK rappers. Oh dude, me either, because it's too hard. There's too many good rappers around here. Bro, if you if you go check where where Mav Doom was sampling, like uh featuring in the years before he died, because he was in the UK before he died. Oh bro, these these UK rappers, they got better.

SPEAKER_06 12:04

Awesome.

SPEAKER_10 12:05

I gotta say they got better.

SPEAKER_06 12:06

Because the Doom influence. I mean, there's been years over there. There's been I mean Carmega goes over there still.

SPEAKER_10 12:11

Like no, there was there was always those good artists. I just think that like the the uh collaboration with somebody who know who knows you know what they want is just like Big L in Amsterdam. Big L in Amsterdam.

SPEAKER_06 12:24

Alright, here. Here's my next question, okay? Let's see if I can this is good. I got some rap some rapid fire coming, guys. I'm trying to fucking upgrade like it or not for their listening pleasure instead of just bullshitting all the time. So I got some fun shit for you, brother. But this is what uh sir, have a good hey, thank you for your service, my brother. Hell yeah, man. I'm gonna see you soon. Come in, I work Monday and Friday in here.

unknown 12:42

I hear what about every other night working?

SPEAKER_06 12:44

Man, cheers to you, man. So, what's more fucking like MF Doom, like like kind of like uh, you know, his villainous behavior, right? What's what's more, okay? Listen to me now, okay? Stealing samples when no one's looking or recommending a $40 cheese with a fucking straight face.

SPEAKER_10 13:02

Oh, $40 cheese.

SPEAKER_06 13:03

Oh, yeah, because you're 'cause you're trying to hustle and come on now. You know, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 13:08

I mean, uh special herbs and spices, you know, like he he doesn't need to he doesn't need to break off a beat like this. Exactly. Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_06 13:17

Yeah.

Tacoma Food Bars And Beer

SPEAKER_06 13:18

Um, let's fucking go into describing Tacoma, even though I mean you've been in Tacoma long enough now. Yeah. Fucking what, 25 years now? Uh yeah, let's talk Tacoma. Obviously a true Tacoma. If you could describe if you could describe describe Tacoma using only MF Doom song titles, man, which one, two, or three are we talking about?

SPEAKER_08 13:42

That's a tough one. Or just one.

SPEAKER_03 13:45

Um that's tough.

SPEAKER_06 13:53

It is kinda, man. I know I'm fucking other fucked up weird questions.

SPEAKER_09 13:57

Hold on, hold on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It'd be like, um rap snitches.

SPEAKER_06 14:04

Yeah. Easy. Um, and we got I think I had that. Do I have that fucking plane right now? Oh my god. It just got done playing. And I should have had it turned up the whole fucking time, dude. Let's start that over.

SPEAKER_08 14:18

Rap snitches, telling all their business, yeah. Dude, that's fucking beautiful.

SPEAKER_06 14:22

Um, if MF Doom, okay, if and this is fucking these are all just like questions that you were just like, fucking hey, dude. Like, I didn't think of these when I was writing them, like how smoked out I was. But if he did it like a Tacoma food tour, okay, where would his where do you think his first stop would be? And you know what I think you're gonna say? And it's gonna be so funny. Can I or no, you no, you go tell me. What do you think? Because I I got a th something in my head all of a sudden, but I can't say it because it's fucking whack. Well, why would I say that? Say it. I want to hear it. Southern Kitchen. That's where all the rappers, that's where everyone goes when they come here. They they look it up and it's fucking the best soul food around here. But instead of me interrupting and interjecting, I need to stop that. Whiskey helps with that, but yeah. What do you think, man? A food tour. Where's it? Where's MF Dune going for his first stop?

SPEAKER_10 15:13

Um probably a brewery. Because, you know.

SPEAKER_06 15:18

He loves beer. He loves beer. And don't hold on.

SPEAKER_10 15:23

I mean, we got so many of them. Or at least like a like a bottle house, you know, like fucking pizza pints or something.

SPEAKER_06 15:29

Alright, metal face or customer service face, which is harder to keep on for eight hours. Customer service face. You got great customer service, bro. I've seen you in the mix, bro.

SPEAKER_10 15:43

It's the it's really just my face, honestly. I kind of stopped lying to the customers. I'm not gonna sell you bullshit. I don't fucking care.

SPEAKER_06 15:50

You know, like you are an inviting motherfucker, you smiling and shit. You know what I'm saying, though? You bring that energy. Uh yeah. Come on.

SPEAKER_10 15:57

If I'm gonna be there for eight hours, like, yeah, I'd I'd rather do that and talk to people than fucking my job.

SPEAKER_06 16:04

How do you fall into this job again, man? Like, did you just like pick it up one day and you just stayed stuck stuck with it, or did you want to do you fuck with cheese that hard, or what the fuck, dude?

SPEAKER_10 16:11

Uh I bounced around in that store for just like maybe a couple years, and then like honestly, I'm a very particular person, so like um, I was working in the deli and I just fucking hated everyone. So uh somebody noticed and was just like, you want to be in this little booth by yourself cutting cheese all day? And I was like, hell yeah. Like you just have to talk to customers. I was like, I don't have to work with people because like get the fuck out of my way. Yeah, no doubt. Um, and uh yeah, that was like what like 12 years ago almost. So like now I'm there. And they they actually remodeled the store and made our my department huge, so now it takes a bunch of people to run. So it's not just me in the booth. And I fucking hate that shit. I know I love my coworkers. I do love my coworkers. Well, of course. I love my solitude, and you know.

SPEAKER_06 17:00

Yeah, no doubt. Midnight Snack for Kijon, Dick's driving or fucking like a Met Market. Or I mean, and you can replace Dick's driving with a burger or Met Market leftovers.

SPEAKER_10 17:11

Uh it depends on how drunk I am.

SPEAKER_06 17:13

Yeah. I agree with that. And that's always a fucking decision, right? Because I I'd be too drunk and I'd say I'd go to Mimos, and I would never fuck with Mimos on a regular day ever in my in my fucking life. That place is terrible, you know.

SPEAKER_09 17:30

Ruin a couple days, a couple few of them on that.

SPEAKER_06 17:32

Oh no, dude, man. Um, yeah, shit. Hold on, okay, man. Let's uh let's let's keep on fucking finding these questions here.

SPEAKER_10 17:42

Yeah, Mimos is like the Crohn's simulator, you know?

SPEAKER_06 17:45

Drink pairing cans, dude. So so so so drink pairing, man. We are we doing cans from like oh easier just cans from seven C's or can't or like a or like a going into like um fucking um peaks and pints. Or are you gonna go to the Met and get like some fucking fancy wine or you know some shit like that?

SPEAKER_09 18:01

Yeah. Give me give me give me some some stuff. Some specific, I guess. Semi-specific.

SPEAKER_06 18:08

I mean, like, are you more of like a wine drinker when it comes down to it? I mean you came in here and got the fucking gin and soda.

SPEAKER_10 18:14

So like so I have my my certification for like well, again, it's uh let's not talk about that. But I have my I have my certification for just like standard professional professional um cheese, but then I also have one that's uh sensory evaluator, and that's part of that. Dude, that so do you get extra side gigs with those? I mean, uh no, I'm trying, but um everything kind of follows through. I was supposed to do like uh charcuterie for McMenemans, and the homie that was doing the doing the whole thing, like it dragged and it dragged on, and then like he left, and then I was just like, Well, I just spent money, I spent like $80 and built a charcuterie board, and we ate. He cooked dinner too, he's a chef, it was good, you know, but like it got approved and everything, and nothing launched, so damn.

SPEAKER_06 19:04

That's a fucking kind of a well, not not a bummer, it is what it is. It is what it is. Timing is everything, man. Like it or not. Yeah, well, no, but timing is is everything, yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. Okay. Oh shit, hold on. Let's give a I'm gonna give MF some fucking love here. This is one of my favorite fucking MF Doom songs right here. You know what I mean? I swear to God, man, I thought he had some uh Cali roots, man. I don't know if I if he lived in Cali or if that was a thing, man, or what?

SPEAKER_10 19:34

Well, oh, oh, you know what? Um isn't Mad Lib from um California? Mad Lib's California. Okay, so that's bad. Yeah, they did like Mad Villainy and shit. I thought it wasn't he? He might be mad villain. He was with he was with like uh what's that shit? Dude, remember when they The loot pack? Okay. I thought the loot pack was California. I could be wrong. I could be fine.

SPEAKER_06 20:01

Did you um know that an MF used to fucking like hire people to come do his concerts for him? And one day he got caught doing it like it's not him on the stage. Allegedly. Allegedly.

SPEAKER_10 20:11

Allegedly, but yeah.

SPEAKER_06 20:12

What do you think about that? Um Did you hear about that? What's your thoughts on that? Um Would you be mad if you went to a show expecting to see him and you thought that it might not be him? I think that's hilarious, but yeah, I'd be a little bit sad. That's fucking so dope. It's smart, and it's like if you wear a mask, it's like, well, how the fuck are you gonna know unless you talk or while you lip syncing and you know what I mean? And it's all good.

SPEAKER_07 20:33

Right.

SPEAKER_10 20:34

Yeah. But I mean, at some point I was just like, hmm, I wonder if I like wore a mask, if I could pull it off or something.

SPEAKER_06 20:43

Oh shit. I mean, you probably could. 1000%, man. Um, ooh shit. Dude. And then this isn't and don't answer this based off because you fucking work there, please, brother, because I know you're a real one. Met Market Stadium Thriftway versus like a fucking Fred Meyer. Right? Fight for fucking grocery store supremacy. Who wins and why?

Grocery Wars And Tacoma Eats

SPEAKER_06 21:07

And this will be the last question about grocery stores, dog. Trust me, because who the fuck cares? We we win because I'm there. Best prices, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 21:14

I mean No, well, yeah, Stadium Thriftway has no business being that goddamn expensive. I'm there's the the deli be slapping though. It's better than that.

SPEAKER_06 21:27

But I need to maybe go there and eat it right when you buy it. Because if you buy it and you take it home and try to eat it, anything like that sucks. It's gonna be devalued.

SPEAKER_10 21:34

It's all all of it, and they sell it at the same price. That that shit's crazy. If if you're not there for the hot food, you are wasting your money. That's how I feel. Okay, so here's you know, I mean, well, there's there's like the meat and the produce is like top pick, you know. Like that's that's good shit. Yeah, and it's like decent price for uh compared to fucking Stadium Thirstway and Tacoma Boys. Holy shit, Tacoma Boys goes crazy.

SPEAKER_06 21:58

Huge shout out to Tacoma. Nice fucking. Shout out right there. That's a that's a good call.

SPEAKER_10 22:02

It's a beautiful place to be, but you know, I it's fucking expensive. It's crazy expensive.

SPEAKER_06 22:07

Right, so selling fucking, you know, not saying fancy cheeses all day 'cause but I mean Metropolitan Market has like the best of the best cheeses. I've been there, I've seen it. Yes. Right? And especially in our area. Um excuse me. Where do you actually eat in Tacoma when you're off the clock and broke? I'm just kidding. When you're off the clock, though, when you're out the clock, I'm saying that's a joke. But I mean when you're off the clock and you don't want to spend or just where do you where's your favorite spots to hit, bro?

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_10 23:21

SPEAKER_10 23:49

Uh that's what everybody says. Um, I don't know. It's just I don't really travel that much.

SPEAKER_06 23:55

Alright, so working in Proctor, man, right? Obviously it's a whole different fucking piece of Tacoma than the fucking hilltop on the east side and shit like that, right? So what's something about Proctor though that people don't get about the rest of the city?

SPEAKER_08 24:10

Um people on Proctor don't get about the rest of the city? No, just people in Tacoma.

SPEAKER_10 24:16

Oh, don't get about Proctor? Yeah. Uh you're allowed to rot jog in the middle of the road? I don't know. Yeah, it's nothing. It's like it's uh no, it it it's it doesn't exist for half of the city, it feels like it's pretty weird. Nobody a lot of my friends, like I grew up on the east side and shit. You know, like a lot of my friends don't know where I work, like from the east side. They're like, what is that?

SPEAKER_06 24:40

Or they're never there, they're too much air in the screets, too much, man.

SPEAKER_10 24:44

Yeah. Um but um, yeah, and they they they still live in the same spots, you know, and like do the same shit. And like I I love that.

SPEAKER_06 24:54

Here, you know, here's a new question that I just thought of just now, since you've been here for 25 plus years. So, I mean, and and then you've worked in Met for 14. Yeah. Okay, so that's a quite a you know close difference. Uh, what's like the biggest way you've seen the city change?

SPEAKER_10 25:10

If you think of something, if something everything, like even Proctor itself, like it used to be just houses.

SPEAKER_06 25:16

Like when I remember the teriyaki place that used to be down the street from Metropolitan Market before the fucking apartments got put up?

SPEAKER_10 25:23

Yep. Yeah, yeah, the the the high rise apart. I mean, the apartments karate. Yeah, so cactus, cactus was like the little houses with that. That was the first hill hill front yard, you know, yeah, and the stairs that go up so that it's like raised, they have basements, whatever. And then on the corner was a dry cleaner, uh, and and like an open lot. And then and then there was the fucking building behind it with with uh east-west or whatever.

SPEAKER_06 25:48

And then and then that and that place was food. The pork chops there were fire, the beating means pork chops.

SPEAKER_10 25:53

And then and then and then there was like, you know, the building with like Rudy's and all that shit. That was like that was like that was the straw that brought the camels back for a lot of fucking residents in Crocker, dude. They just fucking made that a sky rise and shit. Like Yeah, that's bullshit.

SPEAKER_06 26:10

They can sky ride.

SPEAKER_10 26:11

It's like six stories, but whatever. It's still it's still it's in the sky.

SPEAKER_06 26:16

It's enough in the sky. Skyrides would be someone shit you'd see in Chicago, the aforementioned Chicago.

SPEAKER_10 26:22

Yeah, it's it's higher than we were we were used to, I guess. Um, yeah, it the whole city, except for maybe the east side, is different. It feels different.

SPEAKER_06 26:34

Off topic. What's your fucking favorite burger in the tack? Are you still eating burgers? I mean, you can name drop a couple of different ones if you want. Yeah, no, I got you.

SPEAKER_10 26:44

Uh it's uh um uh All-Star Burger. Oh yeah. So All-Stars out there on South Tag Way, it's on it's on uh um Center Street uh in uh the Oakland district. Like that's the fucking park, bro.

SPEAKER_06 27:02

SPEAKER_10 27:10

They kept the they kept the same shit, so but they they got employees that aren't related to them.

SPEAKER_06 27:15

Okay, so yeah, but well, see, it's because we went and did a burger review over there when it was not changed, and I was just sitting there going, yeah, hell yeah, it's a good burger, but it ain't nothing fucking special. Yeah, well, they did a little bit something different now, I heard, so I gotta go back. I think I think in the last like three months, man, Kijon, no shit.

SPEAKER_10 27:31

I I think compared to all the other stuff, they've had a consistent fucking run and they've been doing the same. And and also the prices go crazy. Good ass prices.

SPEAKER_06 27:41

So All-Star Burger, you would call that one of you that you call it your personal number one. It's it's it's one of my favorites. Or one of the most nostalgic Keijan burger.

SPEAKER_10 27:49

Yeah, I think that would be the most nostalgic, I guess, too, because I used to live down the street and it's just like they knew my voice on the phone, so I go to order and they they said my order to me, and uh, you know, I so that it hits it hits different like that. It hits different for me. Maybe that's why. But um doubt, man.

Because he had a different truck like a year and a half later, and he's standing on the corner right here by Shocker Bra, and he's parked in the intersection, and he's just like, Yeah, I did my time, but I'm back, bitches. And he was like, 15 months. And I he kept yelling, 15 months.

SPEAKER_06 44:46

SPEAKER_10 1:35:21

Oh, I wanted to tell you my concept about uh the the A team. So the A team they probably forget they they they got framed for some crime or whatever. I think that it's I think I think that it's a uh so they make Mr. T the tech guy, you know, he's got all these cool high-tech eggs. Right, right, right. So imagine imagine imagine this is all in Mr. T's head, right? And he uh he's suffering very heavily from PTSD. And he, you know, like he's the tech guy. He's not a fucking tech guy. He's really talking into a screwdriver, dude. Just think about that. I mean every week. Every week they're taking him to dialysis. Oh, Mr. T. Mr. T, yeah. That was part of his shit. Yeah, and it's it's just a VA. I forgot about that. I don't I didn't know what's well no every week, no, every week they they put him on an airplane and they have to drug him because he don't take airplanes well. And I'm like, airplanes come first time, dude. Like, what was the fucking dude? Fucking whatever, we're not gonna get into this. I think A Team is just all in Mr. T's head, and he's really talking in the screwdrivers, and they're trying to take him to doctor's appointments and shit. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_06 1:36:39
