Because we're going to talk about the bipping, the car theft that's going on in the Bay Area, right here in Oakland, California, and in San Francisco. But before we get into that, though, I want you guys to connect with Tyranny, the owner of Winky Dinky Dogs. But listen, this guy's not an average guy. Can I go ahead and read it Because I done my homework?

Speaker 2: 0:56

Am I talking heavy right now, already, for sure.

Speaker 1: 0:59

You weren't just a regular MC, but you was a battle MC, meaning that you got bars.

Speaker 2: 1:03

Oh yeah, always Still got it.

Speaker 1: 1:07

So you was a battle MC. You went on tour all over the world.

Speaker 2: 1:12

Yeah, from a group called Digital Underground. I come from a group Digital Underground.

Speaker 1: 1:17

This is not a regular podcast, so it's the Big Dog podcast.

Speaker 2: 1:23

Big Dog, I'm with the Big Dog, talk heavy then.

Speaker 1: 1:27

Listen, you went from being an artist being a battle MC, traveling all over the world. Correct me if I'm wrong. You was back in the Tupac era.

Speaker 2: 1:39

Yeah, so I took, If I'm not wrong which I'm not, but I took Tupac spot in a group called Digital Underground. I was founded by a cat named Greg Jacob Shockgee, who was Humpty Hum. So I came from Fillmore and landed in Oakland and he saw me rhyming and he put me on for real. Rest in peace to Greg Jacob Shockgee.

Speaker 1: 2:03

My point I'm making is Legend Incredible here in the Bay Area. This is not a regular podcast. This is what I want you to see. Mr Big Dog, listen. This is valuable content. I told you guys that they don't inspire me. I don't even want them on the show. This King is a man of many hats. Not only is he an MC, an artist, but he's also a dope entrepreneur, a serial entrepreneur. You understand me. So it's only right that we connect to Tyranny first, before we dive into the main topic today. Tell us about yourself, right quick. Where are you originally from? I know I said Fillmore, but give us a little history about you.

Speaker 2: 2:51

Born in San Francisco, california, my mom's from Mississippi.

Speaker 1: 2:56

Wait, wait. Big Charles from Mississippi Shout out to Wavill in the Middle Time Mississippi. Oh okay, I'm sorry, Jackson, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2: 3:05

My mom's came from Mississippi, my father by way of Chicago and San Francisco. So you know, hailing from San Francisco, fillmore to be exact, not to mention H Street. You know what I'm saying Because my mom's was a black hippie. So you know, I got the best of both worlds as far as California, being a black kid here raising and out here in California just loving life. You know, living life. And my mom's, she was a great woman and my father's an awesome dad. And here I am. I'm a product of two great humans.

Speaker 1: 3:43

A product of two great humans. That's a doggy treat. That is a doggy treat. I have a question for you. Yes, sir, what was it like growing up in Fillmore? Because I got a homeboy from back in the day, because I used to come to California every summer and his name is Shout out to Kory. He was one of the flyers, smooth talkers I've ever met to this day. This Duke, and respectfully, when I was younger, this Duke we used to walk in safeway. He would take some candy and walk out the store without paying for it, but nobody. It wasn't trying to hide it or anything, I'm just saying he had so much swag and sauce about him. What was it like growing up in Fillmore?

Speaker 2: 4:28

I mean Fillmore was a black community. It's one of the first black communities. Out here in San Francisco At Hunter's Point, you have Fillmore. Fillmore was a plethora of black businesses and black entrepreneurships and jazz clubs and things of that nature. So Fillmore was an awesome place to grow up and be a part of. All the black greats from Sarah Vaughn, dizzy Delespey everybody came to Fillmore. Fillmore was known. Fillmore was known Fillmore was slim. You know what I mean. So Fillmore produced a plethora of great individuals that you know in our black history, you know in history period it made the way for people like creators like you and I.

Speaker 2: 5:12

You know what I'm saying. Growing up in Fillmore was a very great experience. You know black families A lot of people don't know San Francisco produced black families, whole neighborhoods. You know, I grew up in Hatt-Agebury, fillmore. Fillmore was, you know, just is just below H-Street. So if you came from H-Street and you was trying to identify who you wanted to be as far as African-American culture and you went to Fillmore, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2: 5:36

H-Street was more of a mixed culture. You know what I'm saying. It was the, it was the Dizzy Age, it was the hippie thing. You know what I'm saying. But great people, great families.

Speaker 2: 5:44

I grew up in Hatt-Agebury, in Fillmore, with a mix of great people, you know what I'm saying. Robin Williams, you know what I'm saying. San Francisco, you know what I'm saying. Just a plethora of great people that just you know that cared about the community. So you know and this is before I came to Oakland, so it was my upbringing is what I knew and what I loved.

Speaker 2: 6:05

You know my mom, she did the best that she could. My father, he did the best that he could. And you know, like I told you, I'm a product of two great humans and Fillmore is, is my epicenter. You know what I'm saying. That's home base, always. You know what I'm saying. So a big shout out to everybody that's still in Fillmore. Fillmore is still there, still active. You know what I'm saying. Big shout out to my man, laron, who closed it down tremendously. He's an artist out of Fillmore, but there's a plethora of great artists that come out of Fillmore, california. You know what I'm saying. And just being like I remember back in my days in Fillmore I saw the Candy man. He was a black dude.

Speaker 2: 6:42

You know what I'm saying. He had the candy spot. There was black bakeries there was, you know, the librarian was black. You know what I mean. So you know my corner store was black owned. You know what I mean. So you know these are things that you know. We used to have this cat that sat in my neighborhood. His name was David and he was like the black. He watched out for all the kids. He used to wave all the buses that rolled by.

Speaker 2: 7:04

You know what I mean. Like my high school I went to was probably 70% black.

Speaker 1: 7:09

You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2: 7:09

So you know, San Francisco was great for me.

Speaker 1: 7:13

So how did you say, how did that affect you mentally, like your environment, then how did that affect you for your present day?

Speaker 2: 7:25

now, how did it like what happened to me in Fillmore Fillmore it was a I called it a shatter block because I was a part of the first generation of crack wave that came through and destroyed black communities, and crack destroyed my community, you know what I'm saying. And it took my mom, which is the backbone of my black family, and then it gave my father the opportunity to become a greater father. You know what I'm saying. So after that situation, which was so tremendous, my mother, I was a spoiled kid. My mother, I was the only man and boy you know what I'm saying. I had my sister, it was me and her raised and man. And that's when the life it didn't get harder, but life got real. You know what I mean.

Speaker 2: 8:20

You elaborate on that I mean meaning that I gravitated towards the street, even though I grew up. My family is very middle class, you know what I'm saying. So, and I was identified with the streets because that's why I found most of my truth, like a lot of black men find most of their truth in the streets. And my street life you know what I'm saying it didn't always consist of, you know, the typical black story. I grew up selling dope. Yeah, we sold some things. You know what I'm saying. We've been some places that we didn't want to go to. Yeah, jail is not a cool place, but those are not the highlights of my life. Highlights of my life was when I grew up playing tennis.

Speaker 1: 8:59

What.

Speaker 2: 8:59

Yeah, I grew up playing tennis. I was a varsity tennis player and went to college playing tennis on a scholarship. That I knew what? Yeah, for sure I was different. You know what I mean. I was considered a nerd or square, but you know, like when I, in my days, I wasn't as popular like the basketball team. So therefore I had to find my way and I found my love for tennis you know what I'm saying Through the Arthur Ashe Foundation. You know out of New York, through my cousin, malcolm Allen, who was a pro tennis player at the time. So I gravitated towards different and then the artistry of Tierney came to play, you know what I'm saying. And after San Francisco, my father moved to Oakland and that's when everything I seem different. I seem strong black families in Oakland. Once things got diminished for me in San Francisco, I came to Oakland and that's when my eyes got opened. And it was. You know, everybody in Oakland was black at the time, in the early 80s. Everybody was strong.

Speaker 1: 9:57

You know it was crazy about Oakland. I'm sorry to cut you off, but although I'm originally from the South Mississippi, I feel, and you can correct me if I'm wrong, but in my spirit I feel like a lot of people come from down south that immigrated to Oakland because that Oakland energy gives me like a down south, like I don't like that black culture vibe. I don't know if that's the history of it or not, man, we all came from the South.

Speaker 2: 10:22

We all came from the South. My parents is from the South, you know what I'm saying. Like most, 95% of black people came from the South and settled out here just to get away from the bullshit that's still in the South. You know what I'm saying. The Confederate flag the black people saw that was crazy. People migrated and a lot of things. How they migrated was through being in the Army, you know what I'm saying. Coming out to the West Coast, settling in communities. You know what I'm saying? Five star areas A lot of people don't know, but there was a five star area in every community, meaning that a black ghetto. You know what I'm saying? The term ghetto don't even mean black. It really settles from. They built communities around this word ghetto that were for white establishments. You know what I'm saying. So when black people came out here through the shift of the movement, then things got real serious and through that movement became the black movement. They became black Panthers which you didn't see in the South at that time.

Speaker 2: 11:21

Right a lot of historical black Panthers come from the South and then they came and set up shop right here in Oakland. A lot of people don't know Bruce Lee was set up right here in Oakland, wow, saying the Asian community was very well connected. Because you didn't hear about Black town, you heard about Chinatown, you heard about little Italy, things like that, but you didn't hear about the word ghetto. It just changed.

Speaker 2: 11:42

You know, the word ghetto sometimes meant black and it didn't mean Good or bad, it just meant the circle of people who you grew up with are now there in my ghetto. We own the store, we own we, we, we have schools that were primary black, we have black teachers. You know I mean, and we still have that. You know I mean. So you know gentrification was real. You know saying so. That came through and then they put in our communities called crack. You know saying wow, and if you notice, crack ain't black, crack is white. You know I'm saying so. It swept through us like man. It was like and, and because of the mental health which we didn't call it mental health back then right.

Speaker 2: 12:22

You know, I'm saying it was crazy, it was called free cheese.

Speaker 1: 12:25

Oh, free it was called.

Speaker 2: 12:27

You know the cheese line it was getting. I remember my mom used to bring home cans that just said beef or just said chicken on it and that fed us for a week. You know I'm saying so. I come from that area where we didn't have too much and we built it into some, but that's what you call flavor.

Speaker 1: 12:42

This is the thing about flavor. Oakland, oakland, have that yeah, oakland definitely.

Speaker 1: 12:50

So, respectfully to hip hop, it didn't like you said before, it didn't start here, but a lot of Sauce come from the Bay Area right here in Oakland. I have to say that, yeah, even like me, I'm from the South. So, master, I remember, like Master P, coming to the Bay Area to get to get on. You know what I mean. So it's a lot of sauce here. Speaking of that, though, it's a lot of sauce here in the Bay Area and we're talking about hip hop. Question how did you become an artist?

Speaker 2: 13:20

I Watch my father and my uncle, who are artists. My father's a tremendous artist, my uncle's a tremendous artist. Those are the two people that I looked up to. My father had my father can look at some man. I remember seeing an architectural digest in my living room and my father like he's. The reason why I'm an artist is this because I had parents who are artists and they turned that into a financial situation when they can provide for their family. You know saying and being an artist is not an easy road. Once you decide mentally to become an artist, then that's what you need to do to create value for yourself and for your family. You know saying so. I looked up to a lot of people my father used to. My father had jazz in my life. I had reggae in my life. You know saying my father was first Rostafarian for the first 12 years of my life. Wow, saying so. You know, when you grow up different, you become different.

Speaker 1: 14:18

You know saying, and it wasn't just being a- it wasn't just being black coming from the south.

Speaker 2: 14:23

You know I mean the SOUF. You know I mean like we all came from the south. If that's the case, it's just we evolved. We evolved as people and the south is a beautiful place. Don't get it twisted. You know, I'm saying we have southern capabilities that carried on, like gumbo and Mac and cheese and fried chicken and things that you know saying, like gizzards and ox tails. I remember ox tails were two dollars a pound. You know saying because now white folks started. Now is a 13 dollars a pound. You know saying, but the south, really it was it's home for a lot of us and in in respect, oakland is the West Coast South, so that's that's what I was saying earlier.

Speaker 2: 15:06

Yeah, very much. So that's everybody. I know grandma from Louisiana, mississippi, alabama, you know, saying like if you didn't have it rude, she was a weirdo. You know, I'm saying it ain't too many first generation, second generation people out here does, saying they don't have no connection. You remember back in the day when they were going to a black college was like the ultimate thing to go and then, once we went to a black college, we couldn't afford it because out of state taxes we had to come back.

Speaker 2: 15:33

You know, saying the gramma and all this. You know saying so it was like you know the south is still the HBCU man, beautiful, you know saying shout out to Sigma's cuz I'm one of okay, you know saying it's right here, big up store man, that's what's up man.

Speaker 1: 15:47

So let me just ask you though so how did you go from being a dope MC, a dope artist, and now you are dope cereal entrepreneur? What made you what? What was the point where you say you know what, it's time for me to transition?

Speaker 2: 16:02

I mean Hip-hop taught me to be an entrepreneur. Hip-hop, just like it taught you, just like it taught your wife and and, and the beautiful people who chose hip-hop is a way of life. Hip-hop is a way of life for us. Not just that, but the culture where we wear our sneakers, the way we wear our socks, where we Pair our pants. You know saying, once we identify with our culture, then we learn how to make it. We learn how to dress the part with our hair. Look at our hair, look at the sisters, look at what we doing. I mean it's just. Hip-hop taught me about ownership and to be creative. The creativity has never been a problem. The problem has been what white folks have made a decision to how to control your creativity and what you got to do to be successful.

Speaker 2: 16:51

Success comes in many different forms. The doctor used to be the barber in the black community back in the day Used to be able to go to your barber and get everything that you needed and felt good because why he made you look good, he made you feel good. You know saying so. You know I mean just the Entrepreneurship is a state of mind. It's a, it's a being, it's a. It's a plethora of great ideas, and now you got technology. That just comes in with that. That gives us more of a reason to be To, to understand what we need to be become successful.

Speaker 1: 17:24

So what made you say, although I was, I was born and raised and and feel more, I want to start Winky dinkies in Oakland, california, the city of pride. What made what? What made you say I want, that's what I want, this location?

Speaker 2: 17:39

Well, I mean, even before winky-dinky we got to go back to. My first business Was a skateboard company called kickflip. I don't eight brand businesses in Oakland and the reason why I chose Oakland because Oakland chose me talk about it.

Speaker 2: 17:53

And that's period like I decided to stay. I could have went to LA after my hip-hop career and been like I'ma go to LA Big shout out to Shimar Moore, who's probably listened to the big dog podcast. You know saying we need everybody listen to the big dog podcast. Yes, yes, I'm saying but those, those, that was my path when I came to Oakland. It was home. And once you establish home, then you build on top of it, not just winky dinky dog, a branded, successful hot dog company, but I own marketing kings, a successful Branding agency. You know I'm saying we got Lucky's Barber Shop one, two and three. We got B smoke barbershop. You know saying my art gallery, which we're sitting in now doing this podcast. You know saying so winky dinky dog. You know saying the Tierney Allen gallery and then my own podcast. You know unfiltered podcast.

Speaker 1: 18:43

You know saying but just like, just like watching you for show and Please don't forget where you man, this is so inspiring. Like listening to you talk. Shout out to Travelle from T's restaurant right here in Oakland and in any eye because. I'm gonna tell me, travelle mentioned you, yeah and the, and what he was saying about you. I was like I have to. I have to Meet this guy.

Speaker 2: 19:09

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 19:10

Listening to you say how you have eight different brands. You, you're a serial entrepreneur. It just didn't start. You've been putting in work for a long time.

Speaker 1: 19:19

Mm-hmm a black man, come from a too great Mom and dad and for you to turn out to be so inspiring. I just think you deserve a moment just to be like man. You, the truth, man, you, the truth. And I know you probably don't even look at yourself like that most of the time, but we need to see more people like you because seeing is believing. If I know that Terry is doing that, it gives me hope. You know growing up. You know growing up, growing up in the hood, you were influenced, like most of us were influenced like, by drug dealers and you know, honestly, I was influenced by my father. You know it has some sauce learned from the drug dealers. But if I was able to see more people like you coming up, I know for sure that I would have been starting entrepreneurship, I would have been thinking about ownership, I would have been thinking about taking care of everybody that's connected to me, man. So I want to applaud you on that, man, and I'm just grateful to be on side of you right now. Man.

Speaker 2: 20:32

It's important. It's important that we support you, you support us, because that's the circle effect and a lot of people just don't understand what it takes just to be successful. You got to understand what success comes failures and you got to understand that having a healthy, sound mind, turned insider out, founded on the facts or the truth, to remain still in existence to provide the proper channels of success and that's what life is about for me, and so I have to make way for other entrepreneurs and other people to become successful, because what success comes failures and you got to understand both. It's love and happiness. In every family situation, you just not going. You know what it's like. You know you married. You're gonna have ups and downs, you're gonna argue with your wife, but the end of the day you're gonna maintain a being of love. Love is the key to whatever you want to do.

Speaker 2: 21:20

I just chose, and we chose, to do what we love to do and make an economical resource out of it to provide for our families. That's it. The only difference between us and them is that I got it and you don't. That's it. So when I shit on you, i'ma shit on you, cause I don't think no one can get in my way of my success. No one can get in your way of the big dog podcast. You know what I'm saying. The big dog podcast is successful because you and your wife have chosen to be consistent with the product. So when you call it sauce from the south, I call it success.

Speaker 1: 21:55

Man, peer re it with a capital capital T.

Speaker 2: 22:00

Yeah, man.

Speaker 1: 22:02

So let me just ask. So Oakland, the city of pride.

Speaker 2: 22:06

Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1: 22:11

Um, originally we had a culture of black businesses here. Yeah, now we're in the present day 2023. And no bipping zone. I saw you on social media and you know, before I even say that I had reached out to, I was talking to my wife. I was like why are we turning our faces face against what's going on in Oakland right now, what's going on in the Bay Area with all of the cart, that why no one is speaking on that? And I was like I want to use my platform to be a support to see how can we come together as a community to put an end to this. I wanted to use my platform.

Speaker 1: 22:57

I reached out to a bunch of entrepreneurs right here in Oakland and you got back with me. I reached out to you. I saw you on social media. You were like we got to put a stop to this. We have to put a stop to this. You know, I see a lot of businesses starting to close down and lose money. Now you know. So when I saw you been starting a campaign behind the Bipping, I said I have to reach out, ask them to come on the podcast so we can talk about the no Bipping zone right here in Oakland, and what can we do to come together. So what does Bipping even mean for those listeners that don't know the terminology of Bipping?

Speaker 2: 23:46

Bipping is a term that is basically thievery. You know what I mean. And it's not the far. It's not a youngster thing. I've seen Bippers breaking the cars and still shit that are 55 years old. For the reason why they chose to do this because they might not have it and they chose the easy way out to destroy somebody else's property. So we've taken a measure from the business.

Speaker 2: 24:15

People like myself Travel from FAB Guapalé to MC Hammer to everybody that's a mainstream person here in Oakland doing some. Chris Richelle you know what I'm saying. All of us. You know what I mean. My brother from Canya, black businesses you know what I'm saying. I don't look at myself as a black business anymore. I'm a businessman Period. You know what I'm saying. So I love the black dollar, but are all my businesses and all my brands supported by black people? No, but it's not a diss, it's just, it is what it is. So when you grow in business, growing business numbers, don't lie. We do so.

Speaker 2: 24:49

Bippin is just another avenue for what people think that they can get over in success. You know what I'm saying. It's no different than stealing from a store, a Walgreens, and you walk out with a basket. But yeah, you stealing. But yeah, security guard can't pop you because of the laws that we created, so we got to change the laws for Bippin. You know what I'm saying, so I've taken that into my own hands, just like a lot of people who own businesses like yourself. Like, our cars are parked outside. We're doing this great interview on the Big Dog podcast, but our cars are getting broken in too.

Speaker 1: 25:20

You know what's crazy, king? My wife and I we are always in Oakland, we love Oakland. I was bringing my family to a restaurant out here and we were just having a good time a family day outing and I was at a stoplight and they had these two gentlemen in their vehicles. I let my wife and kids and my oldest son stay with me in the car. But so now we're back at the stoplight and they are two gentlemen in front of me in their vehicle and I see them putting their mask on their face and I told my son I'm like, check this out. They think they're getting ready to get us as soon as we park the car. So I take a left and they follow me and get right on side of me. But I'm looking at them in their rearview, they putting the mask on, and I just went the opposite way.

Speaker 1: 26:12

What can we do? Because if we don't make Oakland feel safe, it's safe again. We're going to lose a lot of businesses. So what can we do as a community, as a people, to put it into this you remember when you used to get your ass whooped for doing something bad?

Speaker 2: 26:31

Yeah, that's what we gotta go back to doing. Start whooping ass, and it takes by any means necessary. I'm armed, ready to go, ready to fire on and ready to take care of my community. You had your family with you.

Speaker 1: 26:44

Right.

Speaker 2: 26:44

They followed you so that right now, your big dog census came alert. To protect your family For sure. I have to do the same thing protect my kids and my family and my women. So therefore, I'm ready to go. The ski mask don't. I'm not afraid of that, I'm not afraid that someone else might have a weapon, because I have one, a license ready to go. And that's not the end of our end of but education. You know what I mean.

Speaker 2: 27:13

Talking on this podcast, say, hey, bippers, if you choose to be a Bipper, let me tell you you got two ways that you can live or you can die. You know what I'm saying. And that's real tall, because now we are aware of the problem and we're gonna address it and we're gonna take care of it, just like everything we do in the black community. At one point we gotta stand up for our people and our businesses because, you're right, businesses are closing down, white businesses are closing, brown businesses are closing, chinese businesses are closing because of the idiot shit that people are doing. And Bippers is not just a color thing. You got people, white Bippers.

Speaker 1: 27:48

Let's make it be known White Bippers yes.

Speaker 2: 27:51

Asian Bippers, Mexican Bippers. Like a Bipper, it ain't about color Right, Even though we created the name, which really comes from the police. Objective of a name called Bippin means stealing.

Speaker 1: 28:03

That's where it came from. I was reading something one day that said in the month of September they had over 52 cars stolen.

Speaker 2: 28:08

Yeah, they did. And that's not even Bippin, that's still in a car. Bippin is breaking in your car. You know what I mean, why you might be in it. You know what I'm saying. But let me put you like this, bro, life is about living and within living you can die. And if you stand on something and believe in something, I'm letting people know look, I'm willing to die for something that I believe in and taking care of my community so we can become successful. And if it takes, if I got to do something to somebody else because of the right thing, then I'm guaranteed it's gonna do it. So if you are out there, bippin, we got an initiative that was started and we're putting posters out, a campaign, we having a dialogue, just like you invited me on the Big Dog podcast, the number one podcast that we have to have a dialogue and say what can we do? Well, everybody Bippin ain't homeless, everybody Bippin ain't poor. So if you are Bippin, understand we are now knowing what you're doing. So now we're gonna address it.

Speaker 2: 29:09

I came out the other night. They was Bippin. I'm ready to go. I just started pointing my gun at the car Period period Because that's what I had to do. Did they drive off? Yes, they did. Was they armed? Yes, they were. Well, guess what? It's either me or you.

Speaker 1: 29:26

What made you say? You know what. It's time for me to be a representative here in Oakland Enough is enough.

Speaker 2: 29:31

My car's been broken in two over four times in the last two months. It's cost me $350 every time they break into it and I couldn't bill a Bippin. I had to bill my insurance. So now, insurance, don't wanna pay for nothing now, because it's happening so much that boom.

Speaker 2: 29:46

So okay, when are we gonna learn? When are we? Because when I say we, I'm only worried about us and that's a fact. So therefore I'm gonna teach you, I'm gonna spank your ass when I see you, I'm gonna just disrespect you and I'm gonna show up at your grandma house and then I'm gonna spank her ass and then I'm just gonna go ill. Because let me tell you something, bro, oh, it's cool, pain still hurts and if you're giving out pain Like you ain't whooping your kid's ass, you stupid, your kid is messing up, it ain't all about. I did the talking, but we don't live in that area anymore. You cray, I do. I'm still whooping. I'm still whooping my son ass and he's 6'10", 6'10" freshman in college. I'm looking up to him Micah, clean your room or it's on.

Speaker 2: 30:36

But that's what, as fathers, as black men, we have to police our community. We can't just be the dumb-dumbs and let it go on and be scared. If that's the case, move your ass out to Stockton and everything else, so you ain't gotta deal with it. I chose to stay in Oakland because, first, I love Oakland and I love the people of Oakland and you know what I'm saying and the Bippers I have no remorse at all. I have no remorse for people who disrespect somebody else's property that somebody else has worked very hard for. You know what I mean. I work very hard for my restaurant, for all my brands. You know what I'm saying. And so we gotta protect it by any means necessary.

Speaker 2: 31:18

Any means not. Oh, I'm closing down because of Bippers. Man, get your soft ass out of here. You weren't even in business to begin with and I tell business owners like that if you leaving not because of the financial situation get out, because we don't need soft business owners, we need people that's gonna stand by the community and raise the community and buy the community. I'm trying to buy everything that I own and everything that I do. If I wanna get a haircut, I'm going to my own barbershop because I own it, man.

Speaker 1: 31:47

you giving me that old school era man.

Speaker 2: 31:51

I mean, it's just new school because I'm an older dude, I'm in my 50s, but I'm gonna kick your ass. I'm coming straight for you B, I'm running through you so you understand what it takes to be, what the pain feel like. You gotta understand, cause people, even Bippers, even thieves, even when you go to jail pain still work. Why you think they fighting in jail Cause pain work.

Speaker 1: 32:19

Well. So let me ask you, though why does it seem like we're not being supported like by the city?

Speaker 2: 32:28

No, we are, but we can't blame anybody. You can't blame the white man. That shit has been going on for hundreds of years. You know what? Blame yourself.

Speaker 1: 32:36

Talk about it.

Speaker 2: 32:37

Blame yourself for the reason what's going on in your community and do something about it. I started an initiative called the no bipping campaign. I started something, so now it's our job to continue that you know what I'm saying and not be the only one. I don't wanna be the only one saving everybody. If I had 10 Superman, then that's 10 more people. I can't be the only one that can't and the only one's scared. Don't look at me like, for instance, it was bipping the other day.

Speaker 2: 33:05

Right, I come out, handle my business, but my business neighbor, she's standing there like and I'm like you gotta get involved, scream, yell, dude, I wouldn't let a woman get raped on the street and I'm walking down the street. Man, you stand for something. You know what I'm saying. You got to because if you don't, we ain't gonna have shit. Gentrification gonna kick your ass. Your own people gonna kick your ass. Well, guess what I'm kicking ass.

Speaker 2: 33:31

I'm going back to where it started and giving people the necessary pain that they need so they can make a decision that's healthy enough for to support. You and I. We should be able to bring our families out and enjoy life and go to teas and go to torch and go to you know Chris Richelle spots and things like that. Go to M2 around the lake, because what's gonna happen is, if we all pull out and I mean we as a collective if you stop doing your podcast, you doing yourself a disservice, because your service and who you are, that 50,000 people who you got on your numbers are listening.

Speaker 2: 34:08

You know what I'm saying. So now we need the Facebooks and we need the Instagrams. We need the Twitter people to give money to program and so these kids can stop bipping. And fine, if you want a job, you want to stop bipping, come get a job at Winky Dinky. I'll pay you $25 an hour so you ain't got to rob in my car and take a bag that only got some gym clothes in it and it cost me something to do this. So you know what.

Speaker 1: 34:34

I'm saying so you're willing to provide and give money to the Bipper. The legal way.

Speaker 2: 34:42

I'm willing to kick your ass, bippers, and then give you a job and then kick your ass again. And then give you a check in two weeks and then kick your ass again. And if you want a Bipp, then cool. If my son came to me and said I'm gonna be a Bipper and again, it's not a color, a race name.

Speaker 2: 35:00

No, no white kids too, I'm gonna kick your ass. I'm gonna run through you, just like Marshawn Lynch said, who is from Oakland, I'm gonna run through you again and again, over, and over and over and over.

Speaker 2: 35:12

The mentality of that I learned from Marshawn Lynch, not just because he's a good friend of mine and a great business partner, but the things he says and he does. Like Mr Fad, the thing he says and he does. Like you, the thing you saying, what you do. You know what I'm saying. Like, I watched you set up your podcast. That's important, Cause without this podcast it won't be Like, we won't get the word out. How do we get the word out?

Speaker 2: 35:36

Social media is just another monster. It's just no different than TV. It's just another different channel for people to get out the bullshit. Cause now you see so much stuff mental health can't handle that. You can't handle the process so fast of what's going on. It you overload and then you decide, like what, you ain't getting a job because all you gotta do is get up, put a ski mask on and die. Cause that's what's going to happen. If some of you out there, if some of you bippers out here listening right now to the big dog podcast, you can die by the hands of somebody like me, Period.

Speaker 1: 36:13

Reality Life, that's the reality I love us.

Speaker 2: 36:18

I'm always going to love us and I stand by us, and if I have to be the one to die, then that's where God's calling, because I'm not boxing with God. I'm boxing with the people who make dumb ass decisions to make it harder for us to be successful.

Speaker 1: 36:34

What can we do? Your mommy calling you big homie.

Speaker 2: 36:37

He is cool.

Speaker 1: 36:38

What can we do to support your movement, to support your campaign?

Speaker 2: 36:43

You can go to Tierney Allen gallery, you can go to marketing kings. You can pick up posters at every business downtown Oakland. I need business districts to support this. We have money that we can buy our own posters. We have money where we can provide security, not just camera security.

Speaker 2: 37:02

But let's do business with the FOI, the Muslims. Let's do business with the churches. Let's get the churches and thinking out the way. Let's get everybody together and really cause mass hysteria you know what I'm saying and then support these kids, some of these youngsters who are bipping. They kids. So we have to give them an opportunity, a different objective, a different way out.

Speaker 2: 37:24

You know what I'm saying? It's like the big dog podcast. You're hiring for engineers, you're hiring for videographers. If you don't know how to do it, come get a job, we'll pay you, like we'll. This is like we'll pay you. We got money. We ballin'. The difference between us and them? They not balling like us. So they choosing a lazy way out.

Speaker 2: 37:44

Well, guess what? I'ma beat your motherfucking ass over and over and over and over and over and over. And, yes, I'm strapped. Yes, I got the AR. Yes, I got the 9, the 4-5, 50 cal, whatever you need. I'm coming through your ass. So, therefore, you can understand the pain of a hot lead that's gonna burn your skin off, because I chose to do the right thing. If you bippin' do something great and give the shit back, you're gonna stole the ladies bag. Give it back. I respect you, the first bipper that gives something back to the community, and stop bippin' man, you can have a job with me at any one of my companies and that's real talk and that's just not glorifying what people are doing, because I get it. It's hard out here right when we was on the block doing what we wasn't supposed to be doing but, basically we was.

Speaker 2: 38:37

I was out there and I don't know what you did. But what I did when I was out there serving cats that bullshit I was killing cats and I probably killed some people. You know what I'm saying. And every drug dealer in the world the typical black man story. You don't think that way because you're not actually seeing death, but you're serving it. My mom's died off crack. You know what I'm saying. So whoever sold her to drugs is a murderer. You know what I'm saying. So that's that make me a murderer because I sold crack at once upon a time.

Speaker 2: 39:09

Was I a hustler? I had to escape my environment by any means necessary, but does that glorify the things that I shouldn't have done? Bippin' is just another asset, another thing that we know we should not be doing. You get the fuck up. You go to work just like you did. You didn't sell no dope to get this expensive ass broke podcast equipment. You worked your ass off with your wife and y'all built something that people can see and feel, and it's important that black kids see you as a black man running your own production company.

Speaker 2: 39:40

I did my homework, just like you did. I saw your numbers, so now I need you to get a hundred thousand. I need more and more. I need more challenge to be on this. I need fad to be on this. I need everybody in Oakland who's a success to be on the big dog podcast so it helps you in return, so people can see that. And it's important that we support you and everything else that you do. And the Bippin' is just small. You want to support the Bippin'? You can reach me directly at any channel, anywhere out here, give your social media.

Speaker 2: 40:09

Yeah, tierney Allen, marketing Kings, just Google Marketing Kings. If you want to do that, google, tierney Allen, you'll find me. Find me, I'm not hard to find. You know what I'm saying. Marshawn Lynch is not hard to find, you know, mr Fabb is not hard to find. You are not hard to find. You know what I mean. The biggest thing that we have is these cell phones that we can just, but now mental health plays in the play where we're looking at too much bullshit too fast.

Speaker 2: 40:37

So, therefore it's breaking down. People are now like, oh, I learned how to steal a car from YouTube. Well then, youtube is the blank, but you're not seeing companies suing the big companies. You know what I'm saying. But they'll report it, right, they'll report it and you see the bullshit. And so, therefore, it's the kids that's looking at the YouTube channel and not like, oh, I ain't got to work, or I could sell pussy instead of going to get a job, because I'm fine, or I could charge to get in the club now, or I can go out with you and ask you to pay for it.

Speaker 1: 41:09

You know what I mean? Like what the fuck? I'm just grateful for your realness and rawness.

Speaker 2: 41:14

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 41:15

You know, because we don't talk like this.

Speaker 2: 41:18

Yeah, I'm uncut.

Speaker 1: 41:19

And that's I'm unfiltered. And that's what we need, yeah, and this is how you're talking, how you're speaking and what you're standing on. This is exactly how we need. You know, it just seemed like direct communication is not present anymore, realness is not present anymore and, at the end of the day, this podcast is all about standing for something, or Because we're not falling for anything. You know what I mean. So what is one thing, one takeaway that we can give to the listeners before we get out of here?

Speaker 2: 42:01

Support the Big Dog podcast Big.

Speaker 1: 42:03

Speaker 2: 42:04

You know what I'm saying? I can teach you, though. Yeah, I'm going to show you. If you want a job, marketing kings art gallery, everything that you need to be, you need to be around, it's going to be available for you. You know what I'm saying. So we're giving you the access, we're giving you the lane, so you guys can be great humans. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1: 42:33

At the end of the day, Big Dog Talk podcast is here to serve our community. Tyranny the serial entrepreneur is here to serve the community. We have other leaders around here that's here to serve.
