What up, guys? Nikkie Novak here in the Young Hollywood Studio powered by Subway with Rob Van Winkle. Great to see you.

What up? It's so good to see you in your home, in your hood. This is it. A1A Beach Front Avenue. There's these awesome little hotspots out here and I love showcasing it on the Vanilla Ice Project and it's just, you know, the latest and greatest in home technology. But, you know, everybody's seen the foreclosures and short sales out there, you know, you got these beautiful neighborhoods and you get this Let's talk real estate for a second. Let's talk because, I mean, I I can talk it forever. I'm that guy on the airplane that'll annoy you. Am I talking too much? No, I'm kidding. I I love it though. It's I'm passionate about it and I love showcasing the latest and greatest in home tech.

Yeah. Let's talk. Now, I know you've said you don't even know how many houses you own at this point. Can you give me a ballpark? Give me a ballpark. Are we talking, we're in double digits, obviously.

Well, when you do when you do it for a living or, uh, you know, investment purposes, you know, you have inventory. So, it's not like they're my personal houses even though I own them. It's more like, you know, I'm I'm flipping them, I'm selling them, I might be renovating some of them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, you know, some are small, some are big. But on the show, we do the mansions now. And I've been showcasing things like I built the world's first home IMAX theater, which is awesome.

In your own home though, wasn't it? Okay, if you're going to do an IMAX theater, do it in your own home. That way you get to enjoy it. How did you do it?

Well, I had a connection. I had a connection over Mitsubishi that helped me out.

Well, you've done crazy things. I know you did like some sort of like a human slingshot into a lake.

I did. I'm an extremist. I race motocross. I gotta have something that's, you know.

Right. Well, here, yeah. Here's a question for you. Before you're a rapper and an actor and all that, what was your first job?

Motocross. I raced professional motocross since I was 8 years old. Good friends with Ricky Carmichael, Travis Pastrana and all the guys and, uh,

We had them in our studio, Travis.

I'm still doing it, believe it or not. And I love it, man. You know, get out there and get dirty with your buddies on the weekend and just enjoy it. But, uh, on my show,

You got hurt.

Yeah, I get hurt.

What's the most hurt you've ever been?

It's the greatest sport on earth until you crash. It becomes painful.

So what's the craziest trick you can do?

Well, I can do all the tricks. I do the the Superman fender grab, the Nac Nacs, the Cordovas.

What is all this?

Heal clickers. You know, I'm an adrenaline junkie. Without it, I feel like I'm only halfway living.

Did you have a moment in your career where you sort of said, I made it? Whether or not that was the real moment, like, you know,

You know what happened with me is that I did Ice Ice Baby when I was 16 years old. So, I don't know any different, really. I mean, I had a weekend that lasted a few years.

You were an Ice Ice Baby.

Yeah, I was. But, you know, it's amazing because after the snow globe kind of settles from doing the artificial life, thousands of people all the time and glamor and glitz, you got to figure out what your purpose in life is and where I fit in. And I found another passion with renovating homes. I never planned it or expected it. But with the Vanilla Ice Project, I'm on season 3 already. I'm so honored that people appreciate what I'm doing out here.

And now you own like what, 150 homes?

No, I don't mean that. I'm the small man on the totem pole out here in South Florida. There's, uh, you know, this is the CEOs and billionaires of the world. It really is.

But it's also a party place. Like, do you go out? Do you go out dancing? Do you do all that kind of stuff?

I used to. I don't do that anymore. Believe it or not, I wake up early and I'm on the construction site. And and I go on the weekends, I wake up early. I don't stay up because some of these clubs here, they don't even open until 1:00 AM and they stay open until like 7. And you're getting up to go to the construction site. And I'm getting up to go to the construction site or on the weekends, go ride dirt bikes or something. But, you know, like I said, I had a weekend that lasted a few years. So I experienced the whole.

Yeah, I did it. And who do you listen to right now? Are there rappers you listen to that you love? Are you loving like like Adele, like who's your thing?

Jay-Z and Kanye and all that and, uh, Two Chainz. Come on. We're jamming out there. I'm into it all.

Hey, wait. The last time I saw you in our studio, I rapped for you. Are you not listening to my song? Did you download it? It's on your iPod?

I have it. I listen every day. What are you talking about?

Remember how it went? I can't remember every word, but I was just I was hoping you would remind me. Do you want me to do a little rendition? Let's hear. Come on. Vanilla Ice is here at Young Hollywood. You know He can slip it, he can sell it. Because it's all good. Because it's all good. And you're in Miami, which is my hood. Yes. And whatever. That was terrible.

Good enough. Good enough.
