Have you ever tried to grow your social media following legitimately without resorting to bots or buying fake followers? I'm dropping some real knowledge today with my "hand-to-hand combat" method for Instagram growth – a simple strategy that involves following 50 people daily from legitimate accounts in your niche, letting it sit for a few days, then using data comparison to strategically unfollow those who didn't follow you back. This technique builds authentic engagement while keeping your account in good standing.
My cinematic journey took me to Arizona Mills to see "Sinners" in 70mm IMAX format, enduring those old-school, straight-backed theater seats that reminded me of midnight premieres from years past. The experience was completely worth the back pain! I also caught "Final Destination: Bloodlines" and despite my skepticism about that 94% Rotten Tomatoes score (which felt like a payoff!), the storyline was solid even if the acting made me grimace.
The most surprising development in my life? Picking up my first book since dropping out of school. Starting with "Good Morning Beautiful" by Daines L. Reed on a recommendation from a Barnes & Noble employee, I discovered my imagination could actually visualize what I was reading. Now I'm hooked, reading "Molly the Maid" and ordering Stephen King's "Later" – though my frugal decision to buy used might mean that book never arrives! Every morning, Winston (my dog) and I have a routine where I read aloud while he gazes out the window. It's a peaceful ritual that's opened up a whole new world for this formerly book-averse guy.
Working in nightlife promotion for over a decade has kept me surrounded by 21-25 year olds, which explains why being called "Unk" feels like a Jigsaw trap moment. It's the brutal reality of aging, but at least my job has prevented the typical midlife crisis – no sports cars or motorcycles needed when you're still in the mix. Share this episode if you've ever felt the sting of an age-related nickname or if you're looking for legitimate ways to build your social presence!

You know, just scroll down acouple of times, see if they got
real followers.
If you see a lot of MiddleEastern pictures, no profiles,

it's probably a little sketch,but find somebody in your lane
or maybe somebody in the citythat has a legit following.
Follow 50 people a day.
I call this hand-to-hand combat.

Let it sit.
Let the people come in and thenstart that process over again.
I guarantee your followers willgo up quickly, right?
And then let's say, you reach asmall goal.
Maybe you've gained 500followers, and then it's time to
(02:21):
unfollow those people whohaven't followed you back.
Now what you want to do to getrid of those people who haven't
followed you back because youwant to continue on that journey
?
Man, you want to go to yoursettings.

It'll allow you to downloadthat information.
You want to download thatinformation.
Once you download thatinformation, you want to go to a
compare to list.
You could just Google that putcompare to list.
Then you want to take thatinformation that Instagram has
provided you and then justcalmly read a little bit on a
(03:10):
compared to list website andthen you want to insert that
information that Instagram hasprovided you Once you put that
information in there compared tolist, will do the work for you.

, maybe C, something like that.
You want to take that and thoseare the people who haven't

Then you continue with thatprocess.
That will build your IG fastand you won't be breaking no
laws.
You don't want no Instagramlaws.
You don't want any fractions onyour page, just 50 a day.
Hand-to-hand combat.
Build it up and then continueto post.

I just hit you off with somecold shit.
Hand-to-hand combat, 50followers a day.
It's nothing easy.
It's nothing that difficult.
It's not that hard.
It's not that hard.
Ladies and gentlemen, this isThaddeus Shade.
You're listening to SeasonableCloud.
I saw sinners again.
(04:16):

(04:44):
In this past Sunday I saw itagain.
This time I got to see it inIMAX, because I'm a film guy.
Right, I got to see it in IMAXand I was pre-warned about where
I had to go and I told youwhere I was going.
I think last week I told youwhere I was going and it was
(05:05):
Arizona Mills.
And then my boy, will, wastelling me you know that the
seats were there were horrible,because you know we're bougie
now we go to the theater, theseats recline and you know I got
to recline at the crib and whenI sit in the theater and the
seats recline, I kind like I'mback at home and I'm and I'm
(05:25):
feeling like I got a glass oflemonade in my hand and I'm
feeling really good inside thetheater.
That is a great feeling.
But this took me back to thedays where I used to stand in
line at midnight just to wait tosit straight up and then my
back would hurt.
This young age.
My back would hurt because youhad no recline.
You were sit straight up andthen my back would hurt.
And this was young age.
(05:46):
My back would hurt Cause youdidn't have no recline.
You was sitting straight up,then people would put their feet
on the back of your seat andshit.
That's the type of seating Iwas sitting in and I did it.
I put my feet on the back ofthe chair.
There was nobody in front of me, but it was a nice crowd, right
.
It was a nice crowd, right, itwas a nice crowd, but there was
(06:07):
nobody in front of me.
I put my feet on there and Igot to see it in IMAX, 70
millimeters right, because itwas the only theater in the
freaking state that was showinga 70 millimeter and it was worth
it.
It was worth it.
It was worth it.
I'll say that I love when folksgo all out for their art, so I
(06:36):
appreciate it.
So that's why I went to go seeit.
Coogler did such a great job ofbreaking down how he recorded
the film, what he used frames,all that stuff so I was like
really wanting to see it, but wewere doing the Hot Wing
(06:57):
Challenge.
I was going to go see it theWednesday before Thunderbolts
came out because I was going totake over IMAX.
So I was like I'm going to gosee it Wednesday.
We're just doing a wingchallenge at well season.
We do a hot wing challenge andwe, we, we allow people the
opportunity to win some bread.
If you could eat theseextremely hot, hot, hot, hot
than a motherfucking wings.
And these wings, what we dowith the wings.
Let me just tell you, people,when you want to do the hot wing
(07:19):
challenge this is what we do Aweek ahead of the Hot Wing
Challenge we get a batchtogether, right, we get a batch,
we put it all together, we putit in a nice little package and
then we wrap it up real good andwe put it in there with some
ice, with some ice, because wegot it seasoned up and we don't
(07:42):
want to.
We don't want when we deliver it, when we take it, when it gets
delivered, where it's going, wedon't want it to be all
defrosted and shit.
So we put some ice in it, somelittle ice packs you know the
little ice packs that don'tnever not real ice, but it's
like frozen ice, whatever it isand then you put it in the box.
We put it in the box and weship it, right, and where we
ship it to, it lands in thisvery hot place.
It 666 hot to the motherfuckeraddress and satan comes out and
(08:03):
he pisses on the wings and hesaid, okay, these wings is good,
I pissed on the wings.
The devil pisses on the wingsand then he wraps the box back
up and then he like laughs whyhe did it.
They go eat this shit and hesends it back to us.
And then wednesday comes andthere's somebody there that
wants to try the wings.
That's devil's piss on thewings.
That's hot than themotherfucker.
That's what we do to the wings.
So it was a hot wing challengeand if somebody was there I
(08:31):
wanted to laugh.
Yeah, we gets our laugh on.
Watching people risk the liningof their stomach for the ducats
is pure comedy.
I have some videos on my socialmedias, but listen, you gotta
see it up close.
We've done, we've been all theway up to 5,000.
(08:55):
And let's say that we got up to5,000 and somebody actually
came in and did it and won thefive grand and we ain't been
back to that number ever since,cause that hurt the busy pockets
.
We ain't been back to fivegrand since my man came in.
(09:19):
You got to eat 12 wings fiveminutes and I know you can guess
the color of the skin and I'mnot being that way.
I know you can guess the colorof the skin and I'm not being
that way, but you can guess thecolor of the skin Because ain't
no nigga going to be able to do12 wings in five minutes and
these motherfuckers is pissed onby Satan.
You're not going to be able topull it off, but you know the
color that did it.
He came in, he was ready and hewas hurting, but he won five
(09:47):
grand.
And then people come in we haveto call the ambulance.
I'm getting off track becauseI'm just telling y'all we have
to call the ambulances.
The ambulances have to come.
I got so many stories aboutthat.
I'm going to keep going.
But I was there.
I had my tickets bought.
I was going to go and see itbefore Thunderbolts came out.
(10:07):
I wanted to see it in IMAX.
I wasn't able to.
Warner Brothers was like damn,there's like a big cry out to
see it in IMAX.
We're going to bring it back,and it was for last week.
They brought it back Thursdayto Sunday and I was able to go
see it and it was worth it.
It was definitely really dope tosee how they used the full
(10:30):
screen of the IMAX to go alongwith the movie, to go along with
the score of the movie, anyimportant parts.
It seemed like they reallyemphasized that.
It was really dope and it'sgreat to see it shot like an old
you know, like Tarantino usesthe 70 millimeter and it's like
it's really film Like you,really like.
I'm in a theater and I'menjoying a movie Not like you
see now and it's like allcrystal clear and it's really
(10:52):
nice and everything's dope.
I'm not mad at that at all.
I still see a Marvel movie.
That's what I want to see.
I want to see all the detail,but I like seeing you see the
little freckles in movies andit's really dope and it's really
dope, it's really dope.
(11:12):
So I had a good time, um,seeing that in imax.
My back didn't appreciate noneof it, you know, saying my back
wasn't really really, reallyhappy at all, but it was really
worth, uh, seeing it.
And if you didn't get a chanceto see it, I hope somehow in the
future they drop it again foryou to be able to go see it and
go see it in IMAX.
Fantastic movie, fantasticstoryline.
And I hope Coogler Jordanexpand on the universe, which I
(11:33):
think is going to happen.
They're going to expand on it.
I hope it, I hope, I hope, Ihope, I hope they do that.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Man, you come right out of a comic book.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I do because I'm a goofy guy.
But guess what?
I got to roll up and see FoundDestination Monday and this
movie is crazy because, basedoff the trailer, when I seen
Found Destination Bloodlinetrailer, I really was like
there's no way that this movieis going to be good.
It's just no way.
It's just no way.
(12:06):
Rotten Tomato was like 94% andI was like this really feels
like a paid off.
It really feels like a payoff.
We're going to rate your moviehigh.
We just expect the deposit tobe there in the next 24 hours.
You understand me, you fuckingcocksucker.
(12:27):
We just expect the deposit tobe there in the next 24 hours.
You understand me, you fuckingcocksucker.
We're going to go around andfuck in the middle.
We're going to give you a movieat 94%.
The money fucking.
Better be here tomorrow If themoney ain't there tomorrow.
You see Big Tony behind you.
Big Tony's going to make avisit.
Tony's going to get on thewebsite.
He's going to switch thatfucking number around and we're
(12:50):
going to roll up in a fuckingfour, five, six, seven Cadillacs
.
Hop out there, son of a bitch,we're going to handle you.
That's what it felt like.
It felt like a real good payoffand I was like there's no way
that what I saw in that trailer,this movie 94, and I was super
intrigued because I love finaldestination, I love final
destination one, I love finaldestination two, and the rest of
them I don't even really give afuck about because they just
(13:11):
was killing motherfuckers inthat.
But I love.
I love the, the original andthe sequel, because they both
gave me legit fears.
That's where my fear of flyingcame from and in just common
sense.
For the second, with thehighway scene, we just a
motherfucker, just you justdriving.
You realize that you know what Idon't like to be around or
(13:34):
behind big rigs that's carryingbig shit.
I don't want to be behind that.
That doesn't feel safe, itdoesn't.
It doesn't feel like smartsafety.
You know what I'm saying.
So then they played on thatbecause that's a real thing that
can happen and of course, aplane exploding in the air can
really happen, um, so thosethings really mess with me.
(13:55):
And then I've kind of found outthat they were going to play on
uh, they were kind of erasingthe rest of the movies that they
did, um, and uh, well, when Iseen the movie, that's not yeah,
yeah, yeah uh, and they havelike a really good twist in
(14:20):
there.
It's really dope, um, but I sawit.
I saw it, uh, monday, and it'sworth seeing.
I was really surprised.
Now I can listen.
Listen, there was a time whereyou used to be able to go to
like a, a movie rental storeblockbuster hollywood, um ho,
(14:44):
hollywood videos, blockbustervideos.
You'd be able to go to theseplaces, right, and then they
would have we call them straightto DVDs or VHS, whatever they
were making, like these movies,these low budget movies, and you
would be able to go grab theselow budget movies.
And these low budget movieswould usually come with low
budget acting.
(15:04):
And these low budget movieswould usually come with low
budget acting.
And that's what I waswitnessing in Final Destination,
bloodline.
I was really.
I accepted it because actuallythe story is really good.
The story work is really good.
I can follow it.
I can, I can, I can, I can rockwith it.
(15:25):
But that acting you ever takesome medicine that's really bad
for you and then you do a littleshake afterwards like whew,
that's how that acting was.
That acting was sketch balls,right, but the story was really
(15:46):
good.
Some of the death scenes waswild.
They over-CG'd the work.
It was a lot of the CG was.
You know, it's like watching anold Power Rangers episode.
It's not like I'm being hard onit, but the movie's actually
really good.
It's got a nice.
Like I said, it's got a nicetwist in it.
It's not like I'm being hard onit, but the movie's actually
really good.
It's got a nice.
(16:06):
Like I said, it's got a nicetwist in it.
You're going to like some ofthe killing scenes.
You're going to like the story.
I actually think they did a goodjob.
I actually think they did agood job.
The franchise is like sevenmovies deep, six movies deep,
and they was able to give me astoryline and I was heavily
appreciative of that.
Thank you, I will go see thenext one.
(16:27):
I will go see the next oneTonight.
I'm actually got some screenertickets to go see the movie
Sketch.
Sketch is a comedy horror abouta girl who draws, like she
draws stuff, and then they cometo life and I actually watched
the trailer yesterday because Igot these Sprinter tickets and
then I'm going to go see ittonight.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
And I was like, oh, this is pretty cool, it's
actually like a PG movie but youknow, it looks really cool.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
It's like it's got powers in it and she's like
drawing stuff and these monsterslook crazy and I'm like I'm all
for that.
I'm I'm an incredibly adultWilly Wonka, so I'm good for
that In a world of imagination.
And then, of course, missionImpossible hits theaters
Thursday and I'll be there forthat.
(17:12):
And I just want to say thisdude, tom Cruise I've watched a
lot of behind-the-scenes clips.
This dude does a lot, a lot ofhis own stunts and I'm like he
does a lot of that crazy RedBull.
You ever see Red Bull do abunch of crazy.
That's Tom Cruise for thesemovies.
(17:34):
I saw a clip of him jumping forthis movie, jumping from one
mountain to another.
Of course he's harnessed it up.
You know what I'm saying?
He ain't got no, he ain't justgot God lifting him over the
mountains.
He ain't got no angel.
He ain't scheduled with God.
He's God.
I need a couple of wings, Ineed a couple of angels.
I need we working on the sethere in the next 45 days, can
(17:54):
you make sure I got two angelson each side of the mountain?
I'm going to run, I'm going tojump.
I need one to give me a boost.
I need the other one to catchme.
I don't want to die yet.
Guy said cool, I'm going toschedule a couple.
He ain't got that.
He got harnesses.
He got the harnesses but whathappened was he's on the other
side of this mountain, runs,jumps.
You could see his ankle, sayI'm going the opposite way.
He breaks his ankle and thedirector was like the first
(18:16):
thing he asked was did you getthe shot?
That's a dedicated fucker rightthere and I can appreciate
dedication.
Just like I talked about Kugler, I can appreciate a
motherfucker who want to do hisown stunts and he's willing to
break his ankles and break hisribs.
I'm going to give you my $18because you're sacrificing limbs
.
(18:37):
That first movie dropped in 1996.
Doom, doom, doom, doom, doom1996.
I think I think Pac died in 96.
I don't know why.
I thought that was the firstthing To bring up.
I feel sad.
I don't know why.
I would say that 1996, it's thefirst Mission Impossible.
(19:05):
It's 2025 and everything thatI've seen in this trailer for
this upcoming movie tomorrow,yeah, has been exactly what I've
seen in the very first movie1996.
(19:27):
And that's Tom Cruise running.
He's nonstop running.
But I'm excited to see ittomorrow.
I'm in a movie running atsummertime, so I'm just busting
out the movies.
You know what I'm saying.
I know that a lot of people goto the movies and you know I
(19:55):
have this weird thing.
Like, I know I should like eator I should, you know, smuggle
some stuff in, but I'm aconcession guy.
All right, I'm a concession guy.
All right, I'm a concession guy.
I like to overspend.
You know, I get a popcorn withthe ranch seasoning.
(20:16):
It's $78.
I like to give them that typeof money.
Okay, to enjoy a few kernelswith some poisonous seasoning on
there.
It makes me feel like I'mreally at the movies.
The experience is lovely whenI'm giving them damn near half a
(20:36):
bank to get some corns and someranch.
And the sunny water who I justfound out recently is just tap
water.
You get you some corn kernels,you get you some ranch seasoning
, you get you a bottle of tap 78, easy.
(20:58):
Makes me feel like I'm reallygoing to the movies.
You know what I'm saying Makesme feel like I'm going to the
movies, but it's summertime, I'mgoing to be there and they're
going to get my money.
I want to talk about going tothe movies, but it's summertime,
I'm going to be there andthey're going to get my money I
want to talk about.
Listen to me.
I have lived on Earth for quitea while and I'm from Kansas City
(21:19):
, missouri, and I'm saying I'mstarting this off by saying
there's some place.
I never thought I'd go to Tyler, right?
I never thought I'd miss sweets.
I never thought I'd go toThailand, right?
I never thought I'd miss sweets.
I never thought I'd meet SwissBeats.
I never thought that, you know,I would do and meet anybody To
meet and work with Swiss Beats,to see Bone, thugs-n-harmony
(21:42):
recording, to meet all thepeople that I've never thought
that I would do these thingsfrom.
You know, coming from where I'mfrom, never, ever did.
I think that I would meet andconversate with half the people
that I've been able toconversate or throw events for.
None of those things.
(22:03):
You know, I didn't finish highschool.
I was out of that bitch by the9th grade and, motherfuckers, be
like the 9th grade.
I was gone, man, it just wasn'tfor me.
I was gone, I was out of there.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
I want no parts Of schooling.
I wanted no parts.
I enjoyed the breakfast, Ienjoyed the camaraderie, but I
was bored.
I was, I was distracted, Iwanted to do other stuff and I
(22:46):
went and did other stuff and Iwent and did other stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Would I say all that to say, man, I finished my first
book.
I did all that just to say Ifinished my first book and I
hadn't read a book since I wasin school.
I didn't think my brain waslike you know people talk about.
When you read a book, yourimagination opens up and it's
(23:14):
just whirlwind.
You could see what the authoris talking about and what he's
writing about and what he'styping about.
You could see it all coming.
I was like, no, I got to see itin a movie.
I can't do that.
I got to see it on the screen.
No, I got to see it in a movie.
I can't do that.
I got to see it on the screen.
And then I can imagine myselfin the world and I can really
engulf the movie and let itdrown all over me.
I can't do that in a book,there's no way.
(23:40):
But I wanted to start to get my.
You know I'm elderly, right,and I walk into Denny's.
I order, it's time for me topay.
They give me the discount, theygive me the discount.
I didn't even ask for thediscount, they give me the
discount.
They're like oh, this guy'selderly, Give him the discount.
I don't eat in Denny's, it'sjust that I was making a deal.
(24:02):
I don't really eat there, but Ideserve the discount A-A-R-P.
I deserve the discount.
I'm elderly but, to look up, Iwant to keep my mind just a
little bit sharper.
So I wanted to start to read.
I want to start to read.
(24:22):
You know, I want to startsomewhere small, like five pages
a day.
I was like you got to do it.
Learn some words, get in there,keep the brain active.
You're working out.
You know what I'm saying.
You live in La Vida Loca.
You want to start keeping thebrain sharp.
(24:45):
You want to read a little bitmore.
But I was like I don't want toread nothing self-help.
I don't want to read no cookingbooks.
I need something that I like.
I like murder mystery.
I like to figure out who doneit, who did it, who done it.
I like that type of stuff tokeep me.
I need something that's goingto keep me locked in.
I got a big ass Marvelencyclopedia book.
I'm going to read that.
I got it for as a Christmasgift, I think.
(25:09):
Oh, she's going to be offendedif I don't remember if that's a
Christmas gift or a birthdaygift.
Ooh, but I have this big Marvelencyclopedia book with all the
characters, all the powers, andthey're like small storylines.
I'm going to read that too.
But so I read this book right.

I started reading it a fewweeks ago and the name of the
book is Good Morning Beautifulby Daines L Reed.
I hope I got your name right,ma'am.
But Good Morning Beautiful.
And how I even got to this book?
I was with one of my homegirls.

(25:51):
We went to Barnes and Noble.
I hadn't been in a Barnes andNoble in a minute, unless I was
buying Funko Pops.
I hadn't been in there.
So it was very foreign to me.
It was very bright in therebecause I was like, oh shit
words, education.
I'm destroyed by this.
I don't want to know this.
So I went in there.
But I was determined to find mea book, right, and I'm always,
I've always been infatuated withStephen King.
(26:11):
So I'm thinking like, yeah, I'mgoing to go write for a Stephen
King book, I'm going to writefor the Stephen King book.
And then I had saw something ohshit, agatha, something is this
(26:33):
author's name and I had sawthis book and it was like it was
a murder mystery and it waslike, you know, they had the
little label under there.
The staff was really rockingwith this book.
Oh my God, this book's reallygood.
So I'm like, all right, cool,it looks like it's a whodunny,
dunny done, I'm gonna grab thebook and I'm gonna be, I'm gonna
be good with it.
She grabbed a book that shewanted to get you know what I'm
saying and we walked up to payNow it's time for me to pay,
because I wasn't tricking thatday and so she had to buy her
own book.
I'm sorry about that.
Normally I like to trick alittle money, but I didn't know
(26:54):
where we was at.
I think I bought the coffee andI apologize for that.
Because I had bought the coffee, I had felt like, okay, she can
get her own book and I feel alittle cheap about that.
And I thought about it whileshe was up there buying, I was
like, should I buy her a bookfor her?
But I had bought the coffee.
I was having an inside strugglewith what I should do and I
probably should have just boughtthe book, because I am a nice
(27:16):
person like that.
But I don't like to over trick.
I have a tricking budget andwhen we do day coffee, I'd have
a tricking budget.
And I think the coffee put meover the tricking budget because
we bought a lot of coffees andwe were sampling things and I
was like you know what she'sdoing well for herself.
She can afford the book.
She can afford the book.
(27:38):
My inner man was really havinga really tough battle inside
because I keep a trick a dollaror two.
It's a few tricking dollars inthe pocket, because I keep a
trick, a dollar or two.
I just it's a few trickingdollars in the pocket.
I feel bad now as I reminisce.
I feel so.
I feel so bad about it.
I'm sorry, I should have.
I should have paid for yourbook too, but anyway, she pays
(27:59):
for a book independently.
And I roll up next and I putthe book down.
I'm thinking this is going tobe, you know, a tap and go,
because you know you double tapon the side, tap the Apple Pay
and I'm out.
No, put the book down.
(28:20):
It's a lady, kind of pale, tall,sweet lady, and you could tell
this is where she did it, likeshe should have her own
bookstore.
You know, in New York.
You know you go visit her.
It's fall.
You know color is different,it's kind of gray.
You go visit her.
You hear the ding, ding, dingon the door, open it up and
(28:41):
there she is and she's like Igot the book for you and it's in
a little bag, a little brownbag.
She's like it came in yesterday.
Here's the book.
And she hands you the book.
This is that lady.
She was really nice, but it was, you know, sunny outside, it
was probably kind of warmbecause we in Phoenix and I put
the book down and she was like,oh, do you like books like this?
(29:04):
I'm a high school dropout.
So I lied, of course.
I was like, yeah, I like, uh,mysteries and whodunit.
And she was like, listen, thisbook is cool and all.
She didn't really say it likethat, but that's what she said.
She said this book is cool andall like you got a little taste
getting this book.
You ain't got no real taste,but you got a little taste
getting this book.
(29:24):
Let me tell you about a bookyou're supposed to get.
And so she told me about GoodMorning Beautiful and she told
me what type of book it was.
Right, she told me what type ofbook it was and I was like,
(29:47):
okay, fuck it.
I told her.
I said are you standing behindGood Morning Beautiful?
This is your call.
I won't get this book if you'restanding absolutely behind Good
Morning Beautiful.
You know what she said.
I'm standing absolutely behindGood Morning Beautiful.
I said you have a deal, go getthe book please.
And she went and got the book,brought the book back.
(30:10):
I paid for the book.
I started my five pages.
The next thing, you know, theNegro is smoking out chapters
and I was like, oh shit, thisshit is real.
I'm reading and I'm imagininghouses and fields and this guy's
office is in this big, big oldhouse and how he decorated the
(30:33):
house and what he did for thefloors, with the heating floors
and the chairs and all thesecrazy things.
And I'm like, oh shit, I cansee it, I've been missing out on
books.
I can imagine, I can see it, itwas all decorated and coming
through.
Out on books.
I can imagine I can see it, itwas all decorated and coming
through.
And then I found out, oh shit,there's a mystery, because the
lady's book just kind of flipsand you're like, oh, this is
getting wild, this is crazy.
And what's wild is that I dothis job where I'm around 21 and
(30:58):
25 year olds every week and allyou ask for is chewing gum and
Coke and Don Julio, right.
And here I am, when I'm at thecrib and I'm reading this book
in the morning with my coffee.
My dog has figured out Winston,what's up?
My good guy, he's asleep.
He has figured out my routine.
He figures out all my routines.
He's like, oh shit, this dudeis like making coffee and he
goes, sits in the recliner andthen he starts to read.
(31:21):
I actually like to hear hisvoice.
So what happens is, when thatstarted to happen, he goes to
the patio window and he justlooks out the window because
he's old.
So I'm old, he's old.
I read out loud to my dog Idon't give a fuck what y'all
talking about.
Y'all ain't going to square upwith me.
I read out loud to my dog.
He know what it is, he enjoy it.
He lay down.
Look out the window like thisis peaceful as shit.
(31:42):
My man's got his coffee.
He's reading to me.
I'm looking outside.
I see the birds in the sunshine.
I'm alright.
Say something to me in my faceAbout me reading to my dog.
Say something to me Don'tlisten to me and talk shit.
Say something to me about mereading to my dog.
We have a good time doing thatshit.
It's calm and it's peaceful.
I found myself reading to my dogman and as you're reading out
(32:07):
loud, you're like, oh shit.
So now I feel like my grandmawatching soap operas.
I'm like, oh shit, this ishappening.
He didn't get the money.
His mama lied to him aboutactually having the money.
The letter wasn't true from hisdaddy.
Oh shit, this is crazy.
I'm locked in.
Ladies and gentlemen, that book, good Morning Beautiful Lady At
(32:31):
Barnes and Noble.
You won't probably hear this,but if you ever do, let me tell
your manager you deserve somemore money, cause that book was
good, that book was real good.
(32:52):
It was real good.
If you like books, whichprobably a lot of y'all do, I
was just a motherfucker whodidn't believe in them.
Right, started out five pages.
It took me about four or fivedays before I looked up and I
was like reading chapters.
It's just crazy to me, becauseI'm project project kid hood,
(33:18):
kid street kid Never touched abook.
You know what that means to beon earth for all the time.
I never say my years right, allthe time I've been on earth and
just never even was like nah,I'm not fucking with no book.
Now I understand when peoplewho read they get around folks
(33:44):
like me because I, you know Iwas getting all my big words
from Stephen A Smith and TI Allmy articulates.
I like to articulate.
All my blasphemies and egregiouswas coming from TI and Stephen
A.
That's where I would get my bigwords.
Stephen A said a big word.
I'd be like, okay, let me writethat down and then I would.
(34:06):
I would Google it.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Man, you come right out of a comic book.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
And then I'd be like.
Then I'd be like, oh okay, Igot you, stephen, I got you.
I see what you're talking about.
I see what you got going on,stephen.
A, I see what you're talkingabout, you know.
And same thing with TI.
I'm sorry, I'm laughing toomuch, but that's where I would
get my big words from.
So when I was reading the book,what I would do is when she
would drop something heavy on me, I would you know stop.
(34:37):
And then I would Google andthen I would, you know, hit the
little voice thing.
Because who knew that that wasthere?
And I knew it had to be there,because I wrote rhymes, but I
hadn't done rhymes in so long Ihadn't looked up words and shit
I didn't know.
So I was typing in the wordsand then they was telling them
to me.
I would hit the button.
She'd be like you know, I ain'tgoing to say no words, because
(34:59):
the first thing that came to mymind was some wild shit.
But then she would say the word.
I'll be like oh, and then Iwill see definitions.
Oh shit, I'm getting moreintelligent Now.
I talk crazy on here becauseit's me, I'm free.
You know, I talk crazy on here.
This is me, this is free.
Put me in the right room.
(35:19):
I turn point decks on your ass.
Oh, this is an.
MIT grad.
Yeah, he will educate it,especially if I got to get
something out the room.
I got many faces for manyplaces.
Many faces for many places, butanyway I so I would Google the
(35:41):
words and I was like damn, thisis really dope, and I would
learn words.
So good morning beautiful bookperson.
Good morning beautiful is flaws.
It's coming from a person whodon't read.
Now, I'm not don't, don't hearthat and be like he don't know
what he's talking about.
Nah, I was recommended thisshit from a professional.
This lady was a professional.
(36:01):
She stood behind this book.
I promise you it's good.
Good Morning Beautiful.
So then check this out.
From a past relationship, I hada book called the Maid and she
liked to read.
She was a reader.
She could walk on the.
She could walk on the.
She could walk on the, the, the, the, the, the damn the
treadmill.
She could walk on the treadmilland read at incline, regular
(36:25):
climb, flat climb.
Whatever she could do she could.
I could never do that.
Incline, regular climb, flatclimb.
Whatever she could do she could.
I could never do that.
I can't read and have somespeed on the treadmill, I can't
do that.
That's not my skill, right?
I was like I used to beimpressed by.
I used to tell her like, damn,you could do that.
(36:45):
That's pretty impressive.
She's a book reader and we hadthis moment where she was.
It sounds horrible.
She would read, we'd get a book, she got a book, we got a book
as a unit and then she read itout loud to me which is crazy
because it's what I do for mydog now but the book was called
the Maid.
So I was like, oh, I haveanother book in there that was
like Good Morning Americarecommended came out in like
(37:07):
2022.
And it was like New Yorkbestselling times, whatever that
is, and I was like, all right,cool, I'm going to read that
book too.
I'm at chapter five.
I'm cooking through this thing,man.
I'm cooking through this thing,because this is another
whodunit.
I'm cooking through this thing,man, molly the maid.
(37:28):
I know about you.
I'm cooking through this thing,man, molly the maid.
I know about you, molly themaid.
I know that's the book I'mreading.
It's by Nita Prose.
I hope I'm saying your nameright too.
Molly Gray is a socially awkwardhotel maid, finds a dead guest
and must clear her name.
Listen, this book is good.
I'm at chapter five.
I don't have any chapters and Idon't look at that.
(37:50):
When I go in now as a bookreader, I just dive in, I don't
read nothing, I just go straightfor the first chapter.
Suckers, I don't read nothing.
I don't care if she thanked hergrandma, I don't care if she
thanked her mom, I go straightfor the first chapter.
That's what I'm here to do.
I love in your life.
I'm here to read, so I hopright in the first chapter.
This book is going to be reallygood.
(38:11):
And I also look at me, man, Ialso ordered.
I never did the Scholastic thing, man, I never bought no books.
I asked for some money forScholastic from my mama's.
My mom's was like well, youwant some books or you want some
lights.
You want your stomach to grow,you want some books, or you want
(38:33):
some lights.
You want your stomach to growl,you want some education.
No, I'm just playing.
My mom was like she'd give mehalf a book.
She'd go there if it waspossible.
She'd be like here, take somemoney, ask them if they can rip
a book in half and give you halfthe book.
I'm going to give you $3.
I know the book may be like $6.
He'll go three, rip the book inhalf.
See, if we can't put it down ona little way, we'll come back
get the other half of the book,that's it, man, you come right
(38:57):
out of a comic book.
But I ordered another bookStephen King's Ladder later,
later, and that one got meimmediately because I was chat
GPTing you know the book that Ijust finished and I was looking
for recommendations because meand chat GPT are family.
(39:18):
Now I'm going to die fromSkyNet, it's not even a doubt.
Will Smith from iRobot got tosave my life.
Because I'm going to die fromAI.
I am going to die because assoon as they offer robots in the
house that's really clean Iknow they got that over in Japan
probably as soon as they offerthat service, I'm going to have
(39:40):
one.
And then all of a sudden myrobot's going to turn on me and
stab me in the neck.
You are dangerous.
You are dangerous humans.
That's the stab in the neckBecause me and Chad GPT are that
tight.
We are that tight.
I talk to Chad GPT like it's ahuman.
What's up man?
How you doing?
(40:00):
Good morning that motherfucker,I'm all right, chilling what we
working on today.
I'm like calm down, man.
I'm trying to figure that out.
All right, I'm away here.
(40:21):
Homie, come holler at me.
If you ask ChatGBT to talkblack to you, it will talk black
to you.
It won't be cancer, it won't bea McDonald's truck hitting me
and my family, getting the moneylike I've always dreamed of
Somehow surviving, I guess, andliving with broken bones and a
twisted hip, but my brothers andmy nieces and nephews and
(40:42):
they'll be rich.
It won't be because of thosethings.
It'll be because AI and robotshave killed me.
Because I lean on them.
I love me.
Some ai shit, I'm me and chatgbt are just tight, so I was
going to work in there and itwas like oh, stephen king's
later.
It's about a boy who sees thedead faces dark consequences of
(41:04):
his powers on some six cent shit.
so I'm with it.
I ordered it.
I still haven't gotten thatbook.
Shame on you, amazon.
But that's partly my fault,because Amazon offers you could
buy the book new or you couldbuy the book used.
The color of my skin says buyit used.
(41:30):
And because I bought it used, Iwas supposed to get this book
Sunday.
I ordered it on like Thursday.
I was supposed to get it Sunday.
I still haven't gotten thatbook yet.
And it's windy, it windy, amazonain't never like that and
that's what I get for choosingto be cheap.
(41:53):
And you ask me because I heardyou ask while listening.
You asked me well, how much wasthe book?
That the new book was 10 andsome change, yeah.
So you're asking me, how muchwas the used book then?
(42:13):
Seven and some change.
If I had paid the $3, the bookwould have been here, but I paid
for the used ones and I thinkthey're going to keep my money
and never send the book.
(42:34):
I don't think I'm going to getthe book anytime soon, but I do
have that book coming andhopefully I see that book soon
because I'm on this, the madebook.
I'm on that one.
I'm putting my tip in that one.
I'm working on that one.
I got a bunch of slang and it'sjust crazy to think again,
(42:57):
coming from where I'm from, youknow, and the people I was, you
know, my friends from back home,and how I was raised.
The book wasn't even on, likeit just wasn't.
It's crazy to think that, whereyour brain would be if you, you
know, or where mine would be ifI was just diving in books more
right, and I've already gotlike this creative mind and my
(43:20):
shit be like sprinkling withcolors all over the place and
everything I've learned isself-taught.
I've learned is self-taught.
When I was doing music I wasengineering and mastering
self-taught, recording myself,self-taught, making beats myself
self-taught.
These are all things like thatI've always done in life.
(43:42):
That's why when people say like, oh, I don't know how to do
that, I'm like, nah, you justgot to dive in and give a fuck.
Once you dive in and give afuck, you're all the way
invested.
You can learn whatever you wantto learn outside of some NASA
shit.
And I'm sure if you had anequality, if you had a quality
that NASA needed to save Earth Idon't know if that's you know
(44:04):
shit.
Look at Armageddon.
It don't make much sensebecause NASA needed to get some
real diggers.
But they could train astronautsto fly in space and control all
these buttons, but they can'tteach them how to dig.
They had to get real diggers,so they had to go get real
diggers, professional oildrillers, to save Earth.
So if you got a real skill, I'msure NASA can show you NASA
(44:26):
shit and how to survive, how toblast off in space, what these
buttons do you give enough time,they can teach you.
I believe if you dive in.
You want to learn these things.
You can learn these things.
Now look, that's how I'vealways been Self-taught on it.
A lot of my life lessons haveall just been on my own.
(44:49):
You know, touching things,things too hot, don't want to
touch that again.
But if somebody would have putme on these books and told me
now, now, hold on, hold on bigdog, hold on a big dog, it's
possible.
You coming, you coming from thehood, usually in school systems
where the teacher's just likefuck, three more hours before I
(45:15):
can go home, I've got three morehours before I can go home
Teaching these little hood ratseverything.
I'm ready to go.
You know those are the teachersyou're dealing with most of the
time.
I did have one cool teacher,but those are the teachers
you're dealing with.
They be ready to go, man.
They be knowing who don't wantto learn, who.
They have them written off.
(45:35):
That motherfucker ain't goingto go nowhere in life and Tyrone
, tyrone ain't going nowhere inlife.
He going to murder three peopleand he going to rob a liquor
store for 400 bucks.
That's what they believe.
And so they treat that person,tyrone, like that and he don't
(45:59):
get the proper chance to exploreall this stuff I can't believe
I'm reading, man, it's prettycool, it's pretty cool.
The last thing I'm going tofinish up with, ladies and
gentlemen, is I talk about itquite often what I do, right?
Um, I'm in nightlife.
I've been promoting for 12, 11,11 years, 12 years, right To be
(46:33):
the age that I'm at and I toldyou I'm around the chewing gum
Coke, don Julio, era, right, ohmy God, you got some Coke on you
.
Oh my God, oh my God, you gotsome coke on you.
Oh my God, I get a chance toreally see the difference, right
(46:55):
, how I was, and you know shit,when I was super young,
semi-young, not so young I can'tsay young, no more, and I don't
even think about saying young.
Now, right, and being calledUnk Makes me want to Grab the
(47:22):
person who called me unk, sethim up in a jigsaw game, ride
into the tricycle myself and askhim would you like to play a
game?
Because, fuck that shit.
Yeah, I'm in the unk range.
It's brutal, man.
It's brutal.
(47:44):
I party around 21, 25-year-oldsand I like to offer my advice
and I can't help it.
It's so crazy.
There's an episode in the CosbyShow.
Yeah, I can talk about theCosby Show man.
Nah, I'm talking about theCosby Show and there's an
episode and they specificallyfocused on Dr Huxtable where he
(48:09):
would tell a story and he wouldalways lean back, cross his legs
and his eyes would roll, andthen they would.
They was focusing on thisepisode of him doing that and
then people would the kidseither walk off or his wife
stopped.
It was.
It was really funny until now,because if I'm getting offered
(48:32):
advice, or people are offeringor they're wanting my advice or
they want to talk to me aboutthings, I find myself well and I
lean back, let me tell you astory and and I kick my feet
back and I'm like, oh shit, I'mdoing the Dr Huxable.
(48:53):
I am an unk, I'm old, I'm old.
It is wild because I love doingwhat I do and the time is
coming where I'll step away fromit, but I do catch myself doing
(49:15):
old shit.
Now what's crazy is that Iunderstand why Leonardo DiCaprio

the 21s.
You know what I'm saying.
I understand why.
You know Robert Al Pacino, youknow, knocked up a 20-something
year old at 82 years old.
(49:36):
I understand why.
You know what I'm saying Iunderstand why Bill Belichick
just got engaged to a 24 yearold at 72,.
You know what I'm saying.
I understand it, big dog, Iunderstand it.
It's a good time.
They don't know how to talk.
Okay, hold on, tom, listenbefore you start to talk, before

She can hold a conversation andit's cool because you'd be like
you're like years above, butyou're like, oh, you're
impressive.
You can hold your weight at thetable because most of the time,
you know they just stare at you, like if you go get coffee
(50:46):
which I was played about goingto get coffee, I don't call them
dates, they're just coffee.
When you put like coffee datesand you put the date on it, it
adds more I'm Leo and them.

Hey man, if you have a business,use your social media platforms

I want you to go on to socialmedia.
I want you to go on to IGspecifically.
We'll do IG right.
Go on to IG.
I want you to find a page youbelieve in that has a legit
following.
Now you can tell that some ofthese pages will have legit
followings.
(01:19):
You just go to the most recentpicture, right, go to the most
recent picture.
Oh, you hear the alarms in thebackground fire alarms and
police sirens.
Go to the most recent picture,click on their likes and you'll
be able to tell if they gotgenuine.
You know, just scroll down acouple of times, see if they got
real followers.
If you see a lot of MiddleEastern pictures, no profiles,
(01:40):
it's probably a little sketch,but find somebody in your lane
or maybe somebody in the citythat has a legit following.
Follow 50 people a day.
I call this hand-to-hand combat.
Follow 50 people a day forthree days.
Let it sit After you've done 50followers a day.
Let it sit.
Let that motherfucker sit for aday or two.
(02:00):
Don't touch it.
Don't you touch it.
Let it sit.
Let the people come in and thenstart that process over again.
I guarantee your followers willgo up quickly, right?
And then let's say, you reach asmall goal.
Maybe you've gained 500followers, and then it's time to
(02:21):
unfollow those people whohaven't followed you back.
Now what you want to do to getrid of those people who haven't
followed you back because youwant to continue on that journey
?
Man, you want to go to yoursettings.
Ooh, I got to remember this offthe spot.
You go to your settings and youwant to download your

(02:44):
following your pending requests.
It will give you thatinformation.
It'll allow you to downloadthat information.
You want to download thatinformation.
Once you download thatinformation, you want to go to a
compare to list.
You could just Google that putcompare to list.
Then you want to take thatinformation that Instagram has
provided you and then justcalmly read a little bit on a
(03:10):
compared to list website andthen you want to insert that
information that Instagram hasprovided you Once you put that
information in there compared tolist, will do the work for you.
You will take the I think it isoption B or something like that
information in there.
Comparetolist will do the workfor you.
You will take the I think it isoption B or something like that
, maybe C, something like that.
You want to take that and thoseare the people who haven't
(03:32):
followed you back.
Then you go unfollow thosepeople.
Then you continue with thatprocess.
That will build your IG fastand you won't be breaking no
laws.
You don't want no Instagramlaws.
You don't want any fractions onyour page, just 50 a day.
Hand-to-hand combat.
Build it up and then continueto post.
(03:52):
Let's roll on with what I wasgoing to talk about today.
I just hit you off with somecold shit.
Hand-to-hand combat, 50followers a day.
It's nothing easy.
It's nothing that difficult.
It's not that hard.
It's not that hard.
Ladies and gentlemen, this isThaddeus Shade.
You're listening to SeasonableCloud.
I saw sinners again.
(04:16):
I went what's up, winston?
What's up Big Talk?
That's my guy.
Hold on, Don't come over now.
Hold on now.
I'm doing my job, I'm doing mything now.
Lie down there, you go.
He listen, he old, but helisten.
Lie down man.
What lie down man?
Come on now, don't embarrass me.
(04:44):
In this past Sunday I saw itagain.
This time I got to see it inIMAX, because I'm a film guy.
Right, I got to see it in IMAXand I was pre-warned about where
I had to go and I told youwhere I was going.
I think last week I told youwhere I was going and it was
(05:05):
Arizona Mills.
And then my boy, will, wastelling me you know that the
seats were there were horrible,because you know we're bougie
now we go to the theater, theseats recline and you know I got
to recline at the crib and whenI sit in the theater and the
seats recline, I kind like I'mback at home and I'm and I'm
(05:25):
feeling like I got a glass oflemonade in my hand and I'm
feeling really good inside thetheater.
That is a great feeling.
But this took me back to thedays where I used to stand in
line at midnight just to wait tosit straight up and then my
back would hurt.
This young age.
My back would hurt because youhad no recline.
You were sit straight up andthen my back would hurt.
And this was young age.
(05:46):
My back would hurt Cause youdidn't have no recline.
You was sitting straight up,then people would put their feet
on the back of your seat andshit.
That's the type of seating Iwas sitting in and I did it.
I put my feet on the back ofthe chair.
There was nobody in front of me, but it was a nice crowd, right
.
It was a nice crowd, right, itwas a nice crowd, but there was
(06:07):
nobody in front of me.
I put my feet on there and Igot to see it in IMAX, 70
millimeters right, because itwas the only theater in the
freaking state that was showinga 70 millimeter and it was worth
it.
It was worth it.
It was worth it.
I'll say that I love when folksgo all out for their art, so I
(06:36):
appreciate it.
So that's why I went to go seeit.
Coogler did such a great job ofbreaking down how he recorded
the film, what he used frames,all that stuff so I was like
really wanting to see it, but wewere doing the Hot Wing
(06:57):
Challenge.
I was going to go see it theWednesday before Thunderbolts
came out because I was going totake over IMAX.
So I was like I'm going to gosee it Wednesday.
We're just doing a wingchallenge at well season.
We do a hot wing challenge andwe, we, we allow people the
opportunity to win some bread.
If you could eat theseextremely hot, hot, hot, hot
than a motherfucking wings.
And these wings, what we dowith the wings.
Let me just tell you, people,when you want to do the hot wing
(07:19):
challenge this is what we do Aweek ahead of the Hot Wing
Challenge we get a batchtogether, right, we get a batch,
we put it all together, we putit in a nice little package and
then we wrap it up real good andwe put it in there with some
ice, with some ice, because wegot it seasoned up and we don't
(07:42):
want to.
We don't want when we deliver it, when we take it, when it gets
delivered, where it's going, wedon't want it to be all
defrosted and shit.
So we put some ice in it, somelittle ice packs you know the
little ice packs that don'tnever not real ice, but it's
like frozen ice, whatever it isand then you put it in the box.
We put it in the box and weship it, right, and where we
ship it to, it lands in thisvery hot place.
It 666 hot to the motherfuckeraddress and satan comes out and
(08:03):
he pisses on the wings and hesaid, okay, these wings is good,
I pissed on the wings.
The devil pisses on the wingsand then he wraps the box back
up and then he like laughs whyhe did it.
They go eat this shit and hesends it back to us.
And then wednesday comes andthere's somebody there that
wants to try the wings.
That's devil's piss on thewings.
That's hot than themotherfucker.
That's what we do to the wings.
So it was a hot wing challengeand if somebody was there I
(08:31):
wanted to laugh.
Yeah, we gets our laugh on.
Watching people risk the liningof their stomach for the ducats
is pure comedy.
I have some videos on my socialmedias, but listen, you gotta
see it up close.
We've done, we've been all theway up to 5,000.
(08:55):
And let's say that we got up to5,000 and somebody actually
came in and did it and won thefive grand and we ain't been
back to that number ever since,cause that hurt the busy pockets
.
We ain't been back to fivegrand since my man came in.
(09:19):
You got to eat 12 wings fiveminutes and I know you can guess
the color of the skin and I'mnot being that way.
I know you can guess the colorof the skin and I'm not being
that way, but you can guess thecolor of the skin Because ain't
no nigga going to be able to do12 wings in five minutes and
these motherfuckers is pissed onby Satan.
You're not going to be able topull it off, but you know the
color that did it.
He came in, he was ready and hewas hurting, but he won five
(09:47):
grand.
And then people come in we haveto call the ambulance.
I'm getting off track becauseI'm just telling y'all we have
to call the ambulances.
The ambulances have to come.
I got so many stories aboutthat.
I'm going to keep going.
But I was there.
I had my tickets bought.
I was going to go and see itbefore Thunderbolts came out.
(10:07):
I wanted to see it in IMAX.
I wasn't able to.
Warner Brothers was like damn,there's like a big cry out to
see it in IMAX.
We're going to bring it back,and it was for last week.
They brought it back Thursdayto Sunday and I was able to go
see it and it was worth it.
It was definitely really dope tosee how they used the full
(10:30):
screen of the IMAX to go alongwith the movie, to go along with
the score of the movie, anyimportant parts.
It seemed like they reallyemphasized that.
It was really dope and it'sgreat to see it shot like an old
you know, like Tarantino usesthe 70 millimeter and it's like
it's really film Like you,really like.
I'm in a theater and I'menjoying a movie Not like you
see now and it's like allcrystal clear and it's really
(10:52):
nice and everything's dope.
I'm not mad at that at all.
I still see a Marvel movie.
That's what I want to see.
I want to see all the detail,but I like seeing you see the
little freckles in movies andit's really dope and it's really
dope, it's really dope.
(11:12):
So I had a good time, um,seeing that in imax.
My back didn't appreciate noneof it, you know, saying my back
wasn't really really, reallyhappy at all, but it was really
worth, uh, seeing it.
And if you didn't get a chanceto see it, I hope somehow in the
future they drop it again foryou to be able to go see it and
go see it in IMAX.
Fantastic movie, fantasticstoryline.
And I hope Coogler Jordanexpand on the universe, which I
(11:33):
think is going to happen.
They're going to expand on it.
I hope it, I hope, I hope, Ihope, I hope they do that.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Man, you come right out of a comic book.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I do because I'm a goofy guy.
But guess what?
I got to roll up and see FoundDestination Monday and this
movie is crazy because, basedoff the trailer, when I seen
Found Destination Bloodlinetrailer, I really was like
there's no way that this movieis going to be good.
It's just no way.
It's just no way.
(12:06):
Rotten Tomato was like 94% andI was like this really feels
like a paid off.
It really feels like a payoff.
We're going to rate your moviehigh.
We just expect the deposit tobe there in the next 24 hours.
You understand me, you fuckingcocksucker.
(12:27):
We just expect the deposit tobe there in the next 24 hours.
You understand me, you fuckingcocksucker.
We're going to go around andfuck in the middle.
We're going to give you a movieat 94%.
The money fucking.
Better be here tomorrow If themoney ain't there tomorrow.
You see Big Tony behind you.
Big Tony's going to make avisit.
Tony's going to get on thewebsite.
He's going to switch thatfucking number around and we're
(12:50):
going to roll up in a fuckingfour, five, six, seven Cadillacs
.
Hop out there, son of a bitch,we're going to handle you.
That's what it felt like.
It felt like a real good payoffand I was like there's no way
that what I saw in that trailer,this movie 94, and I was super
intrigued because I love finaldestination, I love final
destination one, I love finaldestination two, and the rest of
them I don't even really give afuck about because they just
(13:11):
was killing motherfuckers inthat.
But I love.
I love the, the original andthe sequel, because they both
gave me legit fears.
That's where my fear of flyingcame from and in just common
sense.
For the second, with thehighway scene, we just a
motherfucker, just you justdriving.
You realize that you know what Idon't like to be around or
(13:34):
behind big rigs that's carryingbig shit.
I don't want to be behind that.
That doesn't feel safe, itdoesn't.
It doesn't feel like smartsafety.
You know what I'm saying.
So then they played on thatbecause that's a real thing that
can happen and of course, aplane exploding in the air can
really happen, um, so thosethings really mess with me.
(13:55):
And then I've kind of found outthat they were going to play on
uh, they were kind of erasingthe rest of the movies that they
did, um, and uh, well, when Iseen the movie, that's not yeah,
yeah, yeah uh, and they havelike a really good twist in
(14:20):
there.
It's really dope, um, but I sawit.
I saw it, uh, monday, and it'sworth seeing.
I was really surprised.
Now I can listen.
Listen, there was a time whereyou used to be able to go to
like a, a movie rental storeblockbuster hollywood, um ho,
(14:44):
hollywood videos, blockbustervideos.
You'd be able to go to theseplaces, right, and then they
would have we call them straightto DVDs or VHS, whatever they
were making, like these movies,these low budget movies, and you
would be able to go grab theselow budget movies.
And these low budget movieswould usually come with low
budget acting.
(15:04):
And these low budget movieswould usually come with low
budget acting.
And that's what I waswitnessing in Final Destination,
bloodline.
I was really.
I accepted it because actuallythe story is really good.
The story work is really good.
I can follow it.
I can, I can, I can, I can rockwith it.
(15:25):
But that acting you ever takesome medicine that's really bad
for you and then you do a littleshake afterwards like whew,
that's how that acting was.
That acting was sketch balls,right, but the story was really
(15:46):
good.
Some of the death scenes waswild.
They over-CG'd the work.
It was a lot of the CG was.
You know, it's like watching anold Power Rangers episode.
It's not like I'm being hard onit, but the movie's actually
really good.
It's got a nice.
Like I said, it's got a nicetwist in it.
It's not like I'm being hard onit, but the movie's actually
really good.
It's got a nice.
(16:06):
Like I said, it's got a nicetwist in it.
You're going to like some ofthe killing scenes.
You're going to like the story.
I actually think they did a goodjob.
I actually think they did agood job.
The franchise is like sevenmovies deep, six movies deep,
and they was able to give me astoryline and I was heavily
appreciative of that.
Thank you, I will go see thenext one.
(16:27):
I will go see the next oneTonight.
I'm actually got some screenertickets to go see the movie
Sketch.
Sketch is a comedy horror abouta girl who draws, like she
draws stuff, and then they cometo life and I actually watched
the trailer yesterday because Igot these Sprinter tickets and
then I'm going to go see ittonight.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
And I was like, oh, this is pretty cool, it's
actually like a PG movie but youknow, it looks really cool.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
It's like it's got powers in it and she's like
drawing stuff and these monsterslook crazy and I'm like I'm all
for that.
I'm I'm an incredibly adultWilly Wonka, so I'm good for
that In a world of imagination.
And then, of course, missionImpossible hits theaters
Thursday and I'll be there forthat.
(17:12):
And I just want to say thisdude, tom Cruise I've watched a
lot of behind-the-scenes clips.
This dude does a lot, a lot ofhis own stunts and I'm like he
does a lot of that crazy RedBull.
You ever see Red Bull do abunch of crazy.
That's Tom Cruise for thesemovies.
(17:34):
I saw a clip of him jumping forthis movie, jumping from one
mountain to another.
Of course he's harnessed it up.
You know what I'm saying?
He ain't got no, he ain't justgot God lifting him over the
mountains.
He ain't got no angel.
He ain't scheduled with God.
He's God.
I need a couple of wings, Ineed a couple of angels.
I need we working on the sethere in the next 45 days, can
(17:54):
you make sure I got two angelson each side of the mountain?
I'm going to run, I'm going tojump.
I need one to give me a boost.
I need the other one to catchme.
I don't want to die yet.
Guy said cool, I'm going toschedule a couple.
He ain't got that.
He got harnesses.
He got the harnesses but whathappened was he's on the other
side of this mountain, runs,jumps.
You could see his ankle, sayI'm going the opposite way.
He breaks his ankle and thedirector was like the first
(18:16):
thing he asked was did you getthe shot?
That's a dedicated fucker rightthere and I can appreciate
dedication.
Just like I talked about Kugler, I can appreciate a
motherfucker who want to do hisown stunts and he's willing to
break his ankles and break hisribs.
I'm going to give you my $18because you're sacrificing limbs
.
(18:37):
That first movie dropped in 1996.
Doom, doom, doom, doom, doom1996.
I think I think Pac died in 96.
I don't know why.
I thought that was the firstthing To bring up.
I feel sad.
I don't know why.
I would say that 1996, it's thefirst Mission Impossible.
(19:05):
It's 2025 and everything thatI've seen in this trailer for
this upcoming movie tomorrow,yeah, has been exactly what I've
seen in the very first movie1996.
(19:27):
And that's Tom Cruise running.
He's nonstop running.
But I'm excited to see ittomorrow.
I'm in a movie running atsummertime, so I'm just busting
out the movies.
You know what I'm saying.
I know that a lot of people goto the movies and you know I
(19:55):
have this weird thing.
Like, I know I should like eator I should, you know, smuggle
some stuff in, but I'm aconcession guy.
All right, I'm a concession guy.
All right, I'm a concession guy.
I like to overspend.
You know, I get a popcorn withthe ranch seasoning.
(20:16):
It's $78.
I like to give them that typeof money.
Okay, to enjoy a few kernelswith some poisonous seasoning on
there.
It makes me feel like I'mreally at the movies.
The experience is lovely whenI'm giving them damn near half a
(20:36):
bank to get some corns and someranch.
And the sunny water who I justfound out recently is just tap
water.
You get you some corn kernels,you get you some ranch seasoning
, you get you a bottle of tap 78, easy.
(20:58):
Makes me feel like I'm reallygoing to the movies.
You know what I'm saying Makesme feel like I'm going to the
movies, but it's summertime, I'mgoing to be there and they're
going to get my money.
I want to talk about going tothe movies, but it's summertime,
I'm going to be there andthey're going to get my money I
want to talk about.
Listen to me.
I have lived on Earth for quitea while and I'm from Kansas City
(21:19):
, missouri, and I'm saying I'mstarting this off by saying
there's some place.
I never thought I'd go to Tyler, right?
I never thought I'd miss sweets.
I never thought I'd go toThailand, right?
I never thought I'd miss sweets.
I never thought I'd meet SwissBeats.
I never thought that, you know,I would do and meet anybody To
meet and work with Swiss Beats,to see Bone, thugs-n-harmony
(21:42):
recording, to meet all thepeople that I've never thought
that I would do these thingsfrom.
You know, coming from where I'mfrom, never, ever did.
I think that I would meet andconversate with half the people
that I've been able toconversate or throw events for.
None of those things.
(22:03):
You know, I didn't finish highschool.
I was out of that bitch by the9th grade and, motherfuckers, be
like the 9th grade.
I was gone, man, it just wasn'tfor me.
I was gone, I was out of there.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
I want no parts Of schooling.
I wanted no parts.
I enjoyed the breakfast, Ienjoyed the camaraderie, but I
was bored.
I was, I was distracted, Iwanted to do other stuff and I
(22:46):
went and did other stuff and Iwent and did other stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Would I say all that to say, man, I finished my first
book.
I did all that just to say Ifinished my first book and I
hadn't read a book since I wasin school.
I didn't think my brain waslike you know people talk about.
When you read a book, yourimagination opens up and it's
(23:14):
just whirlwind.
You could see what the authoris talking about and what he's
writing about and what he'styping about.
You could see it all coming.
I was like, no, I got to see itin a movie.
I can't do that.
I got to see it on the screen.
No, I got to see it in a movie.
I can't do that.
I got to see it on the screen.
And then I can imagine myselfin the world and I can really
engulf the movie and let itdrown all over me.
I can't do that in a book,there's no way.
(23:40):
But I wanted to start to get my.
You know I'm elderly, right,and I walk into Denny's.
I order, it's time for me topay.
They give me the discount, theygive me the discount.
I didn't even ask for thediscount, they give me the
discount.
They're like oh, this guy'selderly, Give him the discount.
I don't eat in Denny's, it'sjust that I was making a deal.
(24:02):
I don't really eat there, but Ideserve the discount A-A-R-P.
I deserve the discount.
I'm elderly but, to look up, Iwant to keep my mind just a
little bit sharper.
So I wanted to start to read.
I want to start to read.
(24:22):
You know, I want to startsomewhere small, like five pages
a day.
I was like you got to do it.
Learn some words, get in there,keep the brain active.
You're working out.
You know what I'm saying.
You live in La Vida Loca.
You want to start keeping thebrain sharp.
(24:45):
You want to read a little bitmore.
But I was like I don't want toread nothing self-help.
I don't want to read no cookingbooks.
I need something that I like.
I like murder mystery.
I like to figure out who doneit, who did it, who done it.
I like that type of stuff tokeep me.
I need something that's goingto keep me locked in.
I got a big ass Marvelencyclopedia book.
I'm going to read that.
I got it for as a Christmasgift, I think.
(25:09):
Oh, she's going to be offendedif I don't remember if that's a
Christmas gift or a birthdaygift.
Ooh, but I have this big Marvelencyclopedia book with all the
characters, all the powers, andthey're like small storylines.
I'm going to read that too.
But so I read this book right.
(25:29):
I started reading it a fewweeks ago and the name of the
book is Good Morning Beautifulby Daines L Reed.
I hope I got your name right,ma'am.
But Good Morning Beautiful.
And how I even got to this book?
I was with one of my homegirls.
You know, one of my freakydeekies, I'm just playing but I
was with my homegirl.
(25:51):
We went to Barnes and Noble.
I hadn't been in a Barnes andNoble in a minute, unless I was
buying Funko Pops.
I hadn't been in there.
So it was very foreign to me.
It was very bright in therebecause I was like, oh shit
words, education.
I'm destroyed by this.
I don't want to know this.
So I went in there.
But I was determined to find mea book, right, and I'm always,
I've always been infatuated withStephen King.
(26:11):
So I'm thinking like, yeah, I'mgoing to go write for a Stephen
King book, I'm going to writefor the Stephen King book.
And then I had saw something ohshit, agatha, something is this
(26:33):
author's name and I had sawthis book and it was like it was
a murder mystery and it waslike, you know, they had the
little label under there.
The staff was really rockingwith this book.
Oh my God, this book's reallygood.
So I'm like, all right, cool,it looks like it's a whodunny,
dunny done, I'm gonna grab thebook and I'm gonna be, I'm gonna
be good with it.
She grabbed a book that shewanted to get you know what I'm
saying and we walked up to payNow it's time for me to pay,
because I wasn't tricking thatday and so she had to buy her
own book.
I'm sorry about that.
Normally I like to trick alittle money, but I didn't know
(26:54):
where we was at.
I think I bought the coffee andI apologize for that.
Because I had bought the coffee, I had felt like, okay, she can
get her own book and I feel alittle cheap about that.
And I thought about it whileshe was up there buying, I was
like, should I buy her a bookfor her?
But I had bought the coffee.
I was having an inside strugglewith what I should do and I
probably should have just boughtthe book, because I am a nice
(27:16):
person like that.
But I don't like to over trick.
I have a tricking budget andwhen we do day coffee, I'd have
a tricking budget.
And I think the coffee put meover the tricking budget because
we bought a lot of coffees andwe were sampling things and I
was like you know what she'sdoing well for herself.
She can afford the book.
She can afford the book.
(27:38):
My inner man was really havinga really tough battle inside
because I keep a trick a dollaror two.
It's a few tricking dollars inthe pocket, because I keep a
trick, a dollar or two.
I just it's a few trickingdollars in the pocket.
I feel bad now as I reminisce.
I feel so.
I feel so bad about it.
I'm sorry, I should have.
I should have paid for yourbook too, but anyway, she pays
(27:59):
for a book independently.
And I roll up next and I putthe book down.
I'm thinking this is going tobe, you know, a tap and go,
because you know you double tapon the side, tap the Apple Pay
and I'm out.
No, put the book down.
(28:20):
It's a lady, kind of pale, tall,sweet lady, and you could tell
this is where she did it, likeshe should have her own
bookstore.
You know, in New York.
You know you go visit her.
It's fall.
You know color is different,it's kind of gray.
You go visit her.
You hear the ding, ding, dingon the door, open it up and
(28:41):
there she is and she's like Igot the book for you and it's in
a little bag, a little brownbag.
She's like it came in yesterday.
Here's the book.
And she hands you the book.
This is that lady.
She was really nice, but it was, you know, sunny outside, it
was probably kind of warmbecause we in Phoenix and I put
the book down and she was like,oh, do you like books like this?
(29:04):
I'm a high school dropout.
So I lied, of course.
I was like, yeah, I like, uh,mysteries and whodunit.
And she was like, listen, thisbook is cool and all.
She didn't really say it likethat, but that's what she said.
She said this book is cool andall like you got a little taste
getting this book.
You ain't got no real taste,but you got a little taste
getting this book.
(29:24):
Let me tell you about a bookyou're supposed to get.
And so she told me about GoodMorning Beautiful and she told
me what type of book it was.
Right, she told me what type ofbook it was and I was like,
(29:47):
okay, fuck it.
I told her.
I said are you standing behindGood Morning Beautiful?
This is your call.
I won't get this book if you'restanding absolutely behind Good
Morning Beautiful.
You know what she said.
I'm standing absolutely behindGood Morning Beautiful.
I said you have a deal, go getthe book please.
And she went and got the book,brought the book back.
(30:10):
I paid for the book.
I started my five pages.
The next thing, you know, theNegro is smoking out chapters
and I was like, oh shit, thisshit is real.
I'm reading and I'm imagininghouses and fields and this guy's
office is in this big, big oldhouse and how he decorated the
(30:33):
house and what he did for thefloors, with the heating floors
and the chairs and all thesecrazy things.
And I'm like, oh shit, I cansee it, I've been missing out on
books.
I can imagine, I can see it, itwas all decorated and coming
through.
Out on books.
I can imagine I can see it, itwas all decorated and coming
through.
And then I found out, oh shit,there's a mystery, because the
lady's book just kind of flipsand you're like, oh, this is
getting wild, this is crazy.
And what's wild is that I dothis job where I'm around 21 and
(30:58):
25 year olds every week and allyou ask for is chewing gum and
Coke and Don Julio, right.
And here I am, when I'm at thecrib and I'm reading this book
in the morning with my coffee.
My dog has figured out Winston,what's up?
My good guy, he's asleep.
He has figured out my routine.
He figures out all my routines.
He's like, oh shit, this dudeis like making coffee and he
goes, sits in the recliner andthen he starts to read.
(31:21):
I actually like to hear hisvoice.
So what happens is, when thatstarted to happen, he goes to
the patio window and he justlooks out the window because
he's old.
So I'm old, he's old.
I read out loud to my dog Idon't give a fuck what y'all
talking about.
Y'all ain't going to square upwith me.
I read out loud to my dog.
He know what it is, he enjoy it.
He lay down.
Look out the window like thisis peaceful as shit.
(31:42):
My man's got his coffee.
He's reading to me.
I'm looking outside.
I see the birds in the sunshine.
I'm alright.
Say something to me in my faceAbout me reading to my dog.
Say something to me Don'tlisten to me and talk shit.
Say something to me about mereading to my dog.
We have a good time doing thatshit.
It's calm and it's peaceful.
I found myself reading to my dogman and as you're reading out
(32:07):
loud, you're like, oh shit.
So now I feel like my grandmawatching soap operas.
I'm like, oh shit, this ishappening.
He didn't get the money.
His mama lied to him aboutactually having the money.
The letter wasn't true from hisdaddy.
Oh shit, this is crazy.
I'm locked in.
Ladies and gentlemen, that book, good Morning Beautiful Lady At
(32:31):
Barnes and Noble.
You won't probably hear this,but if you ever do, let me tell
your manager you deserve somemore money, cause that book was
good, that book was real good.
(32:52):
It was real good.
If you like books, whichprobably a lot of y'all do, I
was just a motherfucker whodidn't believe in them.
Right, started out five pages.
It took me about four or fivedays before I looked up and I
was like reading chapters.
It's just crazy to me, becauseI'm project project kid hood,
(33:18):
kid street kid Never touched abook.
You know what that means to beon earth for all the time.
I never say my years right, allthe time I've been on earth and
just never even was like nah,I'm not fucking with no book.
Now I understand when peoplewho read they get around folks
(33:44):
like me because I, you know Iwas getting all my big words
from Stephen A Smith and TI Allmy articulates.
I like to articulate.
All my blasphemies and egregiouswas coming from TI and Stephen
A.
That's where I would get my bigwords.
Stephen A said a big word.
I'd be like, okay, let me writethat down and then I would.
(34:06):
I would Google it.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Man, you come right out of a comic book.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
And then I'd be like.
Then I'd be like, oh okay, Igot you, stephen, I got you.
I see what you're talking about.
I see what you got going on,stephen.
A, I see what you're talkingabout, you know.
And same thing with TI.
I'm sorry, I'm laughing toomuch, but that's where I would
get my big words from.
So when I was reading the book,what I would do is when she
would drop something heavy on me, I would you know stop.
(34:37):
And then I would Google andthen I would, you know, hit the
little voice thing.
Because who knew that that wasthere?
And I knew it had to be there,because I wrote rhymes, but I
hadn't done rhymes in so long Ihadn't looked up words and shit
I didn't know.
So I was typing in the wordsand then they was telling them
to me.
I would hit the button.
She'd be like you know, I ain'tgoing to say no words, because
(34:59):
the first thing that came to mymind was some wild shit.
But then she would say the word.
I'll be like oh, and then Iwill see definitions.
Oh shit, I'm getting moreintelligent Now.
I talk crazy on here becauseit's me, I'm free.
You know, I talk crazy on here.
This is me, this is free.
Put me in the right room.
(35:19):
I turn point decks on your ass.
Oh, this is an.
MIT grad.
Yeah, he will educate it,especially if I got to get
something out the room.
I got many faces for manyplaces.
Many faces for many places, butanyway I so I would Google the
(35:41):
words and I was like damn, thisis really dope, and I would
learn words.
So good morning beautiful bookperson.
Good morning beautiful is flaws.
It's coming from a person whodon't read.
Now, I'm not don't, don't hearthat and be like he don't know
what he's talking about.
Nah, I was recommended thisshit from a professional.
This lady was a professional.
(36:01):
She stood behind this book.
I promise you it's good.
Good Morning Beautiful.
So then check this out.
From a past relationship, I hada book called the Maid and she
liked to read.
She was a reader.
She could walk on the.
She could walk on the.
She could walk on the, the, the, the, the, the damn the
treadmill.
She could walk on the treadmilland read at incline, regular
(36:25):
climb, flat climb.
Whatever she could do she could.
I could never do that.
Incline, regular climb, flatclimb.
Whatever she could do she could.
I could never do that.
I can't read and have somespeed on the treadmill, I can't
do that.
That's not my skill, right?
I was like I used to beimpressed by.
I used to tell her like, damn,you could do that.
(36:45):
That's pretty impressive.
She's a book reader and we hadthis moment where she was.
It sounds horrible.
She would read, we'd get a book, she got a book, we got a book
as a unit and then she read itout loud to me which is crazy
because it's what I do for mydog now but the book was called
the Maid.
So I was like, oh, I haveanother book in there that was
like Good Morning Americarecommended came out in like
(37:07):
2022.
And it was like New Yorkbestselling times, whatever that
is, and I was like, all right,cool, I'm going to read that
book too.
I'm at chapter five.
I'm cooking through this thing,man.
I'm cooking through this thing,because this is another
whodunit.
I'm cooking through this thing,man, molly the maid.
(37:28):
I know about you.
I'm cooking through this thing,man, molly the maid.
I know about you, molly themaid.
I know that's the book I'mreading.
It's by Nita Prose.
I hope I'm saying your nameright too.
Molly Gray is a socially awkwardhotel maid, finds a dead guest
and must clear her name.
Listen, this book is good.
I'm at chapter five.
I don't have any chapters and Idon't look at that.
(37:50):
When I go in now as a bookreader, I just dive in, I don't
read nothing, I just go straightfor the first chapter.
Suckers, I don't read nothing.
I don't care if she thanked hergrandma, I don't care if she
thanked her mom, I go straightfor the first chapter.
That's what I'm here to do.
I love in your life.
I'm here to read, so I hopright in the first chapter.
This book is going to be reallygood.
(38:11):
And I also look at me, man, Ialso ordered.
I never did the Scholastic thing, man, I never bought no books.
I asked for some money forScholastic from my mama's.
My mom's was like well, youwant some books or you want some
lights.
You want your stomach to grow,you want some books, or you want
(38:33):
some lights.
You want your stomach to growl,you want some education.
No, I'm just playing.
My mom was like she'd give mehalf a book.
She'd go there if it waspossible.
She'd be like here, take somemoney, ask them if they can rip
a book in half and give you halfthe book.
I'm going to give you $3.
I know the book may be like $6.
He'll go three, rip the book inhalf.
See, if we can't put it down ona little way, we'll come back
get the other half of the book,that's it, man, you come right
(38:57):
out of a comic book.
But I ordered another bookStephen King's Ladder later,
later, and that one got meimmediately because I was chat
GPTing you know the book that Ijust finished and I was looking
for recommendations because meand chat GPT are family.
(39:18):
Now I'm going to die fromSkyNet, it's not even a doubt.
Will Smith from iRobot got tosave my life.
Because I'm going to die fromAI.
I am going to die because assoon as they offer robots in the
house that's really clean Iknow they got that over in Japan
probably as soon as they offerthat service, I'm going to have
(39:40):
one.
And then all of a sudden myrobot's going to turn on me and
stab me in the neck.
You are dangerous.
You are dangerous humans.
That's the stab in the neckBecause me and Chad GPT are that
tight.
We are that tight.
I talk to Chad GPT like it's ahuman.
What's up man?
How you doing?
(40:00):
Good morning that motherfucker,I'm all right, chilling what we
working on today.
I'm like calm down, man.
I'm trying to figure that out.
All right, I'm away here.
(40:21):
Homie, come holler at me.
If you ask ChatGBT to talkblack to you, it will talk black
to you.
It won't be cancer, it won't bea McDonald's truck hitting me
and my family, getting the moneylike I've always dreamed of
Somehow surviving, I guess, andliving with broken bones and a
twisted hip, but my brothers andmy nieces and nephews and
(40:42):
they'll be rich.
It won't be because of thosethings.
It'll be because AI and robotshave killed me.
Because I lean on them.
I love me.
Some ai shit, I'm me and chatgbt are just tight, so I was
going to work in there and itwas like oh, stephen king's
later.
It's about a boy who sees thedead faces dark consequences of
(41:04):
his powers on some six cent shit.
so I'm with it.
I ordered it.
I still haven't gotten thatbook.
Shame on you, amazon.
But that's partly my fault,because Amazon offers you could
buy the book new or you couldbuy the book used.
The color of my skin says buyit used.
(41:30):
And because I bought it used, Iwas supposed to get this book
Sunday.
I ordered it on like Thursday.
I was supposed to get it Sunday.
I still haven't gotten thatbook yet.
And it's windy, it windy, amazonain't never like that and
that's what I get for choosingto be cheap.
(41:53):
And you ask me because I heardyou ask while listening.
You asked me well, how much wasthe book?
That the new book was 10 andsome change, yeah.
So you're asking me, how muchwas the used book then?
(42:13):
Seven and some change.
If I had paid the $3, the bookwould have been here, but I paid
for the used ones and I thinkthey're going to keep my money
and never send the book.
(42:34):
I don't think I'm going to getthe book anytime soon, but I do
have that book coming andhopefully I see that book soon
because I'm on this, the madebook.
I'm on that one.
I'm putting my tip in that one.
I'm working on that one.
I got a bunch of slang and it'sjust crazy to think again,
(42:57):
coming from where I'm from, youknow, and the people I was, you
know, my friends from back home,and how I was raised.
The book wasn't even on, likeit just wasn't.
It's crazy to think that, whereyour brain would be if you, you
know, or where mine would be ifI was just diving in books more
right, and I've already gotlike this creative mind and my
(43:20):
shit be like sprinkling withcolors all over the place and
everything I've learned isself-taught.
I've learned is self-taught.
When I was doing music I wasengineering and mastering
self-taught, recording myself,self-taught, making beats myself
self-taught.
These are all things like thatI've always done in life.
(43:42):
That's why when people say like, oh, I don't know how to do
that, I'm like, nah, you justgot to dive in and give a fuck.
Once you dive in and give afuck, you're all the way
invested.
You can learn whatever you wantto learn outside of some NASA
shit.
And I'm sure if you had anequality, if you had a quality
that NASA needed to save Earth Idon't know if that's you know
(44:04):
shit.
Look at Armageddon.
It don't make much sensebecause NASA needed to get some
real diggers.
But they could train astronautsto fly in space and control all
these buttons, but they can'tteach them how to dig.
They had to get real diggers,so they had to go get real
diggers, professional oildrillers, to save Earth.
So if you got a real skill, I'msure NASA can show you NASA
(44:26):
shit and how to survive, how toblast off in space, what these
buttons do you give enough time,they can teach you.
I believe if you dive in.
You want to learn these things.
You can learn these things.
Now look, that's how I'vealways been Self-taught on it.
A lot of my life lessons haveall just been on my own.
(44:49):
You know, touching things,things too hot, don't want to
touch that again.
But if somebody would have putme on these books and told me
now, now, hold on, hold on bigdog, hold on a big dog, it's
possible.
You coming, you coming from thehood, usually in school systems
where the teacher's just likefuck, three more hours before I
(45:15):
can go home, I've got three morehours before I can go home
Teaching these little hood ratseverything.
I'm ready to go.
You know those are the teachersyou're dealing with most of the
time.
I did have one cool teacher,but those are the teachers
you're dealing with.
They be ready to go, man.
They be knowing who don't wantto learn, who.
They have them written off.
(45:35):
That motherfucker ain't goingto go nowhere in life and Tyrone
, tyrone ain't going nowhere inlife.
He going to murder three peopleand he going to rob a liquor
store for 400 bucks.
That's what they believe.
And so they treat that person,tyrone, like that and he don't
(45:59):
get the proper chance to exploreall this stuff I can't believe
I'm reading, man, it's prettycool, it's pretty cool.
The last thing I'm going tofinish up with, ladies and
gentlemen, is I talk about itquite often what I do, right?
Um, I'm in nightlife.
I've been promoting for 12, 11,11 years, 12 years, right To be
(46:33):
the age that I'm at and I toldyou I'm around the chewing gum
Coke, don Julio, era, right, ohmy God, you got some Coke on you
.
Oh my God, oh my God, you gotsome coke on you.
Oh my God, I get a chance toreally see the difference, right
(46:55):
, how I was, and you know shit,when I was super young,
semi-young, not so young I can'tsay young, no more, and I don't
even think about saying young.
Now, right, and being calledUnk Makes me want to Grab the
(47:22):
person who called me unk, sethim up in a jigsaw game, ride
into the tricycle myself and askhim would you like to play a
game?
Because, fuck that shit.
Yeah, I'm in the unk range.
It's brutal, man.
It's brutal.
(47:44):
I party around 21, 25-year-oldsand I like to offer my advice
and I can't help it.
It's so crazy.
There's an episode in the CosbyShow.
Yeah, I can talk about theCosby Show man.
Nah, I'm talking about theCosby Show and there's an
episode and they specificallyfocused on Dr Huxtable where he
(48:09):
would tell a story and he wouldalways lean back, cross his legs
and his eyes would roll, andthen they would.
They was focusing on thisepisode of him doing that and
then people would the kidseither walk off or his wife
stopped.
It was.
It was really funny until now,because if I'm getting offered
(48:32):
advice, or people are offeringor they're wanting my advice or
they want to talk to me aboutthings, I find myself well and I
lean back, let me tell you astory and and I kick my feet
back and I'm like, oh shit, I'mdoing the Dr Huxable.
(48:53):
I am an unk, I'm old, I'm old.
It is wild because I love doingwhat I do and the time is
coming where I'll step away fromit, but I do catch myself doing
(49:15):
old shit.
Now what's crazy is that Iunderstand why Leonardo DiCaprio
and them end up with, you know,the 21s, why they party with
the 21s.
You know what I'm saying.
I understand why.
You know Robert Al Pacino, youknow, knocked up a 20-something
year old at 82 years old.
(49:36):
I understand why.
You know what I'm saying Iunderstand why Bill Belichick
just got engaged to a 24 yearold at 72,.
You know what I'm saying.
I understand it, big dog, Iunderstand it.
It's a good time.
They don't know how to talk.
Okay, hold on, tom, listenbefore you start to talk, before
(50:01):
you start to attack me, hold on, hold on.
We're having a friendlyconversation, all right.

She can hold a conversation andit's cool because you'd be like
you're like years above, butyou're like, oh, you're
impressive.
You can hold your weight at thetable because most of the time,
you know they just stare at you, like if you go get coffee
(50:46):
which I was played about goingto get coffee, I don't call them
dates, they're just coffee.
When you put like coffee datesand you put the date on it, it
adds more I'm Leo and them.
