Not Not Tacos will serve up genre-bending fare that pushes the envelope of culinary creativity with tacos that are big, bold, full of flavor and made from things not normally found in authentic Mexican food (looking at you meatloaf, salmon & pastrami.)

Before introducing us to the restaurant, Sam opens up to Cantore about his insecurities and the pressures of coexisting in a modern world that puts so much value on wealth and material items. Also, great discussion about how weed can perpetuate self-doubt.

Huh?

Doesn't matter, if you are an entrepreneur, or aspiring entrepreneur, this interview is a must.

Ocean Beach, San Diego's David Wells, known for pitching a perfect game and helping two franchises win the World Series, joins Cantore + YEW! for an in-depth discussion about CBDs (cannabidiol) -- a cannabis compound that has significant medical benefits, but does not make people feel “stoned.”

One of skateboarding's finest, most respected photographers, Grant Brittain, looks back on a lifetime of shooting the skate world for 40+ years.  A 2014 inductee into the Skateboard Hall of Fame and Museum, the longtime Encinitas resident began his photography career in the late 70s at the Del Mar Skate Ranch, which he managed.

Cantore talks to Dr. Bob Uslander, Medical Director and founder of Integrated MD Care of Del Mar.  Dr. Bob (as his patients refer to him) is one of only a handful of physicians that offers "Aid In Dying" services.

Since June 9, 2016, California’s End of Life Option Act has made it easier for people with terminal illnesses to choose when they want to die, but, needless to say, it remains a controversial subject for many families, friends and medical providers.

That being said, Dr. Bob's primary goal is to make people more comfortable with the concept of dying.
