Pressure, Passion, Playoffs: My Warriors + MCU Breakdown
Ever been so locked into a playoff game that even your soul was sweating? That’s exactly what Warriors vs. Rockets Game 4 delivered. Jimmy “Buckets” Butler turned cold-blooded, Draymond danced through foul trouble, and Steve Kerr pulled a Hack-a-Adams move that felt like chess against toddlers. This wasn’t just basketball—it was drama, strategy, and survival.
But that same passion? I feel it counting down to Marvel’s Thunderbolts—dropping this Thursday and already sitting at 91% on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s giving Guardians of the Galaxy energy: misfit anti-heroes, layered redemption arcs, and a real shot at reviving the MCU’s heart.
This episode is about that feeling—the moment you know something lights your fire. Whether it’s hoops, superhero flicks, or hitting record on a mic, we all got something that grounds us when life throws dragons, leprechauns, and algorithm updates at our heads. Like Greg Popovich said, you’ve got to play with “an appropriate amount of fear”—not to hold you back, but to keep you sharp.

If you quick enough, can we taste it now, that shade? Without a doubt it's that season of a cloud, that shade. You got clout. Let me hear what it's about that shade. You got clout. Let me hear what it's about that shade you got clout. Let me hear what it's about that shade. Without a doubt it's that season of a cloud, that shade.
Speaker 2:That is shade. Is that you, thaddeus Shade? Is that you? I think by the applause the applause that may be me Is that you, thaddeus Shade. Is that you? It is I, it is him, the magical Thaddeus Shade. And I just want to talk about the win last night, my Golden State Warriors, oh man, I, as a fan.
Speaker 2:Now you probably, if you're a sports person, you have a team that you love, you know, and if you're a true ride or die, you really, really, really lose yourself into the game. You find yourself mad at everything. You find yourself mad at the commercials, yourself mad at everything. You find yourself mad at the commercials when it's when it's a time out or whatever, the, whatever sport you love. When there's a break in the entertainment, you find yourself mad at god damn commercials, man, I don't want to. I don't even eat bk, I don't get fucked by no motherfucking commercials, man, you know. And then there's always that commercial where it's uh, the, the, the medication commercial and all the side effects. You're just like, and those are the ones that stop you from being mad. You're like, damn, that's some horrible side effects. Bleeding out your ass, that's some horrible side effects. Just so you can lose some weight. That's horrible side effects. But you get mad at everything.
Speaker 2:And last night, the Rockets game four, warriors game four Ooh, I didn't have. I couldn't even pass gas. My asshole was so clenched I couldn't even pass gas. It wasn't nothing to come out, it had to come out through my ears. If it was flatulence inside of me, it had to come out. If it was gas inside of me, it had to come out. If it was gas side of me had to come out, to come out my ears. Man, that shit, that type, when you're a fan like that, you had a with you, a rockets fan, of wars fan. You had to watch that last night. That's the shit. We love and hate at the same time. You love and you hate it at the same time. You love and you hate it at the fucking same time. That game was insane.
Speaker 2:Jimmy b ah, you know, I, you give me. Four years ago I was on jimmy butler's back. I was on Jimmy Butler's back, I was on his back, man, and I didn't really understand. You know, and I'm an NBA fanatic X and O's guys, I understand the game very well. But I used to be on Jimmy's back because I thought there was a level of inconsistency and then in this playoff, jimmy really started to. I started to give more props. When I seen it down in Miami, I said, oh, he really does, he really does adjust, he really does adjust. You know, when the playoffs come around and I was really, really, really on his back and I started to really change my mind on that.
Speaker 2:And my God man, my God man, this guy's an absolute warrior. Get it, see what I did there. And he's just in, in, in in. The Rockets man. This guy's an absolute warrior. Get it, see what I did there. And he's just. And the Rockets man, the Rockets definitely throw everything the kitchen sink and every weapon that Call of Duty offers at Steph Curry, and that includes leg locks, headlocks, people's elbow. They'll do whatever they can to stop Stephanie Snipes.
Speaker 2:But the rep last night, jimmy Buckets, pods, airpods, balling man. And you know, the scariest thing about all of that is Draymond Green gets five fouls And'm just like this isn't good, this isn't good. He got five fouls. I think he got that. I think he got in the third early third, maybe nine minutes, got that fifth foul and I was like this is about to be crucial conflict, this is about to be bad. And they had that two big lineup for the Rockets and Shang-Goon Shang-Goon and Gang-Goon. That boy, he was feasting. He was feasting. I'm watching him go around.
Speaker 2:Gary Payton, now you're not used to playing in the post. You're going to get ate up and Gary Payton's a great on-ball defender, great hands, plays big, but you're not used to defending in the post. You're going to get eight. There's a plate when you are a legit big man. You ask for it and you see a smaller guy on you. You say excuse me, you forgot to give me my knife and my fork because I'm about to eat. Excuse me, I need my knife and my fork, I'm about to eat. You forget. You know you forgot. It's okay, I need my knife and my fork. And then the next thing you know you're destroying, you're winning, you're scoring buckets and he was killing us Offensive rebounds, putbacks. We were just getting destroyed and you just knew it Draymond Green out of the game. You just felt it. We were just getting destroyed and you just knew it Draymond Green out of the game. You just felt it.
Speaker 2:And Steph didn't look comfortable last night and I don't like to say that about Steph because I'm a big fan I'm wearing some Steph foam, some Steph Curry foam shoes right now as we talk. I'm looking at all my Steph Currys as we talk right now. I got them all in front of me. I'm a massive Steph Curry fan and they had my guy just a little off balance and I think that day off only day off now you can kind of see the legs wasn't there until he hit that baseline three late in the game where he really you could say I put all my work in that one. All my history of shooting was in that shot right there, because his legs wasn't there and they were throwing this I don't know if it was a, it was like a 1-3-1, but they were zoning and they were really, really like they really bothered him and everybody else came to play ball man, ball man, that Warriors team boy. That is a lot of experience.
Speaker 2:And I knew as soon as Steve I know I'm talking longer than what I usually do about sports, but I told you I'm still talking about these sports and I knew as soon as Steve went to the Hacker Adams, that was the move of the game and I know there was a lot of things that happened after he did it, but that was like the most crucial thing that Steve Kerr could do, and I'd be on Steve Kerr's back and I love Steve. But I'd be on Steve's back, I'd be backpacking. I'm a backpack when it comes to Steve's back, I'm a backpack. I'd be on his back, I'll be on his back. I'm like an itch in the middle of the back. He can't reach it. I'm there, I'm on Steve's back Because sometimes I see some of the subs he makes and I'm like and you know, we all want a little bit of JK in the game. We want a little bit of JK in the game. We couldn't a little bit of JK in the game. We just want a little bit. We want a little bit of JK because we think he can, I think he could be effective, I think he can help on the glass and I think we might see that in game five. But sometimes I'm on Steve's back and I shouldn't be.
Speaker 2:Last night, bro, my guy put up the checkerboard. He said I'm playing checkers right now. He put it up. He said I don't want to play checkers, no more. I don't want to play checkers, no more. He pulled out the chess board and he started playing chess man. It was fantastic when I called it because I sit in my I don't by myself Jersey, winston, we both go nuts. My dog, winston, goes nuts with me as I go nuts and I lose my mind and I pray for my neighbors. My dog goes nuts with me. So as I'm sitting there and I see that Steve has made that move that we're going to foul Steve Adams, you doka said shit, I said God, I say shit. He had to pull Adams out. He had to pull Adams out and when he pulled Adams out it took away from the two big lineup man. My God, it was refreshing to see.
Speaker 2:It really gave us a nice chance to stay in the game because I really thought they was on a roll and I don't think if he doesn't do that, I feel like we could end up down 8, 10, 12 because they was on such a roll. We had no answers. Steph was looking like he was a little bit confused with the zone. I'm not saying he's confused about his own. He looking like he was a little bit confused with the zone, not saying he's confused about his own. He's seen every zone possible, but it just didn't look comfortable and I didn't know if he had the legs to do what he does. I didn't know if he had the legs to put on a superhero cape, as Butler refers to him as Batman. I didn't know if he had the tool and the utility belt to pull off the Batman type superhero performance that we needed to get there. And and and and I'm so happy that Jimmy but I mean Jimmy Butler and the buttocks came through to uh, to ball for us. Man, we had no answers to a big lineup, but that was the move. He got Steven Adams out of there. That was the fucking move.
Speaker 2:And the Warriors got real issues. Sorry about that, not the Warriors, but the Rockets got real issues. Green's not on the floor. Jalen Green's not on the floor.
Speaker 2:I saw that I don't think he really wanted to put Brooks back in the game because of what you look at, brooks sometimes. I'm sure I saw that I don't think he really wanted to put Brooks back in the game because of what you look at Brooks sometimes. I'm sure Yudoka looks at him and says, okay, today's the day you got extra crazy in you, like? He stands with the assistant coaches on the side. Brooks don't see him, he don't see the assistant coaches. And then Yudoka, they all stand on the side. They're looking at him today and they're just staring at him. They stare at him about seven minutes. They just look at him and they say they do it every game. They say, come here, we're going to get together as a group seven minutes of staring at Brooks and then we're going to come up with the conclusion and say, okay, he extra crazy today, we can't trust him, he's on that antic bullshit. And then so he start him and you read him throughout the game.
Speaker 2:I said, oh see, he on that straitjacket shit and I felt like he didn't want to put him back in the game. But I felt like when the hack of Adams happened, he had to adjust. He put him back in the game and then, extra crazy, brooks hand on the hip, foul. It's enough. Not because I'm a Warriors fan, because, damn it, it's a last second shot. I'm getting the shot up. I'm trying to put my form in it. You got your hand on my belly button and you give me just enough to throw me off. At least enough to tickle me. I feel it to tickle me. I feel it, you tickle me. Just enough to tickle me.
Speaker 1:Man, you come right out of a comic book.
Speaker 2:Just enough to tickle me. And three free throws and Jimmy hit all his free throws. Bro, jimmy hit all his free throws. Bro, jimmy hit all his free throws. Man, and I do this from a fan aspect. I talk from a fan aspect but I love basketball. So that type of game, as physical as that game was, as antique as that game was, from Draymond, from Brooklyn, from Brooks even Steph Brooks is able to bring out something that, steph, you don't normally see. It's not a lot of players that do that, where you can get Steph doing stuff out of character which I don't mind because I know he can ball in any type of motherfucking atmosphere. It's just that dude is so chaotic and so untrustworthy with the way he plays basketball. You don't know what you're going to get and I can see how it could be frustrating. So you like to talk a little shit to a crazy motherfucker. You know what I'm saying. The only thing is that Brooks isn't behind any plexiglass or a padded room with a motherfucking window. You can't see my shit because I'm doing it from audio, but the window is real small and you can only do like an eye lookout. He's right in front of you, he's not behind a plexiglass, being crazy, slapping on it, spitting on the plexiglass you know what I'm saying. He's right there and crazy in front of you, so it brings something else out of you, and I don't like the technicals. I do say this, though. I do say this and I say I say I say, I do say this them refs made sure that Draymond Green was able to stay in the game.
Speaker 2:They made sure Draymond Green was able to stay in the game. They made sure Draymond Green was able to stay in the game. They made sure. They said nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. We found a way. We gave him two fouls, which I read this morning is illegal. You're not able to give a person two fouls in one play. He's not able to get a flagrant foul and a personal foul, I guess. But they found a way to keep him in the game and I appreciate you. Let's give him a round of applause for the referees. That was fantastic. I actually think game five we go down and and we squeak out that win too.
Speaker 2:Typically in game fives or closeout games, they're, of course, the hardest games to close out, but what happens is, if it's two young teams going at each other, it's whatever, usually still the team that's being closed out. They play phenomenal basketball, hit shots from half court, everything seems to work out for them, but the shots are heavy if the team that is trying to close them out is still in the game. Over the course of the game, the shots get heavier and heavier. Crowd starts to mumble a little bit more when you miss shots and the pressure starts to mount. When you play a team, you know whether it was this guy history winning. Like Golden State, the shots are heavy from the get-go Now 9-7 out of 10, they're going to be hitting shots in houston as soon as the game starts.
Speaker 2:They probably will probably hit five, threes in a row. Crowd gonna be going nuts. Golden state gonna call a timeout. They're gonna settle down and they just want to stay in the game. Eight, five, eight, five. It's gonna be in the game. Eight, five, eight, five, eight, five. Fourth quarter. Eight, five, eight, five, five minutes, five minutes, five minutes in the game. Five, three, five, three, two minutes in the game. Three, two, three, one, one minute in the game. You want to be tied up. One and you can feel it. That's probably how it's going to go. Green will probably play better. Brooks will hit shots. It'd be weird, because I bet you Van Fleet, he's going to be broke.
Speaker 2:Motherfucker hit eight threes last night. Motherfucker damn near hit that damn tying three and it was just. It was right there, it was dead on, just didn't have enough hoof in it. He had enough hoof in it, but that motherfucker was dead on. He didn't have enough hoof. He had enough hoof in it, but that motherfucker was dead on, he didn't have enough hoof. You know when I'm doing my thing with my lady. She didn't have enough hoof in it but it was dead on. Watch him not hit nothing, watch him be the broke. One Hit a couple of threes, that's it. He hit eight threes last night. Watch this motherfucker tomorrow hit two threes max.
Speaker 1:And else gonna be hit.
Speaker 2:But it's gonna be a close game. But I think golden state finishes it and I know steph 25 and up, steph will have 25 and up, steph will play better. Draymond green I know I've been. I know it's not what a lot of people signed up for, just get used to it. But Draymond Green, bro, I think I still would, because I just appreciate the game of basketball. I think even if he wasn't on Golden State and I know the motherfucker's psychotic I still would enjoy the fact that he just plays hard. Bro, the dude's just smart, he just plays hard, bro, the dude's just smart, he just plays hard and he talks a gang of shit and if you're on the other end of it fan or player you hate it. But of course, if you're on the right side of it fan or player you love it. You love it. Dude play hard, he just is smart man. It's hard to find smart players in the NBA, like really, really smart players. Not just this is the play.
Speaker 1:This is what the coach said. This is where we're going to run. Okay, you set the screen, I'm going to roll, they're going to dub me, I'm going to swing it and there it is.
Speaker 2:Nah, man, smart guys who run the offense, they run their offense catch the ball from a Steph Curry double team and know that they can create four opportunities from it. That's what Draymond Green does yeah, you got the initial set play.
Speaker 2:So when he catches the ball, maybe he can run floater, which is something he doesn't really like to do, but he will do it Run, hit the floater, maybe he hits a baseline roller, yeah, but he's got like multiple options in his brain because he's smart and the guys around him need to be smart. It's hard to find players that just have like high IQ for basketball. So you have to have a high appreciation for a motherfucker who will really give a fuck about the sport and about his team and about being great on defense, like Kevin Garnett, just a fucking quarterback on defense, a psychopath on that shit. You have to appreciate it. I love it. I love to see it. We're going to win. Now let's see what I got in here. Man, you are in a court of law. There are a lot of people in here. We can't hear you. Your Honor, you're going to have to make them speak up. What does GTD stand for?
Speaker 2:Got the draws okay, now moving on, there's a big nerd moment for me happening this weekend, and that nerd moment, let me get some of my coffee. It's a coffee break. Yeah, it's a coffee break. It's a coffee break. Jesus, it's a coffee break. Marvel's Thunderbolts comes out.
Speaker 1:Thursday.
Speaker 2:Oh man, I love a good Marvel movie, love a good Marvel movie and I think this thing is going to be phenomenal, the way they're talking about it. Currently sitting at 91% Rotten Tomato and I don't like to just hang my cap on Rotten Tomato, but I do have a little faith in the boys and the critics that get on Rotten Tomato and I have a lot of faith in the audience and right now that thing's sitting at 91%. I am excited. I've already spent my money. My tickets are loaded. I've already spent my money. My tickets are loaded. I'm good to go. I'm going to be there Thursday.
Speaker 2:We are moving in the direction of two more mega Avengers movies and this movie, from what I'm hearing, from what I'm reading, is very, very important to the story and these guys are like a bunch of misfits. This reminds me of how I felt about Guardians of the Galaxy, like I don't know these motherfuckers. I don't know these motherfuckers. I wouldn't invite them into my house. That's how I am about people I don't know. I don't know you ain't coming to my crib. I don't know you. I ain't giving you my address. I don't know you. Man, you're not getting my car, I'm. I don't trust him. I don't know him.
Speaker 2:I went to go see it because the name Marvel was on it, because Marvel was on it. That's why I went to go see him. I didn't know who they was, how they was, what they was going to do. Was it going to be funny, was it going to be action? Was it going to be good? I didn't know, none of these niggas, but I went to see it because it was Marvel. And then was I blown away by Guardians of the Galaxy? You damn right, there's only two type of blown away's. You can get Tijuana Prostitute blown away and Marvel blown away, or a Rambo action movie blown away. That's cool too, you know. But yeah, I love Guardians of the Galaxy. When I say I was like oh shit, james Gunn, this is phenomenal. I ain't know none of these guys. And I was an immediate fan. Rocket, I'm still an immediate fan. I hope, I, I hope he gets his own show on Disney. I would. I hope he gets his own show on Disney. I would. I would love to watch a Rocket series on Disney. Bradley Cooper doing a voice, I would love it. And I'm, and I and I feel the same thing about Thunderbolts.
Speaker 2:Now, I've seen these, these characters in other movies. Of course you know I can't even say some of these. We all know Bucky being introduced to Buck the right way as Winter Soldier Ain't no, ain't too many introductions you can get outside of 6'6 North Carolina. Michael Jordan in the Chicago Bulls, you know starting lineup being announced, bucky had one of the coldest introductions of all time man in the Captain America movie. Bro, you know what I'm saying. And they got the Red Guardian, if I'm correct, is from Black Widow's movie, that's where they pops. If I'm correct, is from Black Widow's movie. That's where they pops. If I'm correct, I'm almost for sure. And then you got Ghost from Ant-Man Woo-hoo, my brain is working Taskmaster and US agent and of course from Falcon and Winter Soldier.
Speaker 2:You know that man ain't been US Agent. He ain't been right with me. He got blood on the shield, ladies and gentlemen. He got blood on the shield. How dare you dirty up Cab's shield? I'm not going to be right with him until I see his movie and I see him do something of significance, and that is good and hero-like. But something of significance, and that is good and hero-like. But they talking about Thunderbolts. As it's the truth. I guess this film's supposed to dive into the complexities of these characters, highlighting their internal struggles and their redemption arcs. Let me do this a little better.
Speaker 1:The film delves into the complexities of these characters, highlighting their internal struggles and their redemption arc.
Speaker 2:They talk about. There's two fantastic post-scene credits that I'm excited to see. This is important to me because, honestly, dude, like these are things that you know you could have got in the 90s or like early 2000s and it just, you know, we, they tried to attempt some things and it just doesn't look outside of like blade. You know we get out of the past outside of blade, but they try to attempt some things and in those times your eyes are like in your minds, like designed to see stuff with their cg and stuff, so you kind of accept it. But thinking about the time we get now, you can just imagine the excitement as an old motherfucker like myself just gets to to sit back and enjoy and and, as you know, a person who loves marvel we want to see them regain their footing so we can really enjoy these next two avengers movies and the way they're raving about this movie. I'm excited, so I'm hoping we all go out there and we see it and we support it, and then I could do like a real breakdown of it and be like super happy about it. You know, cause I wasn't really happy about the Fantastic Four trailer. I haven't, you know, I wasn't wowed by neither one of those trailers. I wasn't. It was like a sneak peek trailer and an actual full trailer. I think I wasn't really wowed by them. You know, it was cool, it was nice to see, but I wasn't. You know, I wasn't really like woohoo, yay, it's them. You know, because the trailer didn't look fantastic, it was just cool. And I'm hoping when I go see the movie and you know the, because the trailer didn't look fantastic, it was just cool and I'm hoping when I go see the movie and the added stories that it's going to bring to the Marvel timeline and see how they Hold on I keep going off, thank you bro, thank you bro. And to see what they bring to the Marvel, the MCU and how their story plays into the bigger picture is what my excitement is, and I'm hoping when I go there, it's actually just a really fantastic movie. I'm hoping it is a really, really, really fantastic movie and they do bring out some flawless work.
Speaker 2:July is full of some heat with Superman and Mission Impossible, I think. Is that mission possible? Then, uh, superman, fantastic four and something else. Something else is in there too, I can't remember, but I'm looking forward to uh, thunderbolts and I think the fantastic. Four would be, uh, you know, um worth the seeing, worth the seeing. And I'm still headed to see Sinners on top of that. I'm going to go see Sinners and IMAX. I just haven't pulled the trigger on it yet, because it's definitely worth seeing twice. If you haven't seen Sinners, shame on you, but it's definitely worth seeing twice. I can't wait to see it.
Speaker 2:The second time I'm going to go do it in IMAX there's only like a few IMAXs out here and then the IMAX I want to go to is the 70 millimeter. That ain't where I want to go. I don't want to go to Arizona Mills. Well, people are like well, why don't you if you don't live here? You're like, why you don't want to go to Arizona Mills? Well, I'll tell, imagine them putting up a nice brand new IMAX screen. And the IMAX screen at Arizona Mills has been there since Arizona Mills Malls opened up. But they recently Harkins recently did like a little behind the scenes of them getting a brand new IMAX screen and how they put it up and all that stuff. But imagine that happening and how they put it up and all that stuff. But imagine that happening and they're putting it up in a very dark and gloomy Walmart. So you go to the worst Walmart you can think of to see this beautiful new IMAX screen. That's what it is. That's why I don't want to go. But they got other IMAX screens but I wanted to see the 70 millimeter because I'm a fan of theater and I like when they put the work in for that and you should appreciate it. If they give you the option and they talk about it in great detail, you should go see it the way they want you to see it so you can get the experience. But if they have the IMAX instead of a dark and gloomy Walmart, do you want to be a part of that? No, so there's other IMAXs and I'm gonna go find whatever IMAX that I want to go to. That's way better than dark, gloomy Walmart IMAX and I will watch it and we will go from there. I'll probably do it tonight. More likely I'll do it tonight and go check it out again, because that movie was fantastic, phenomenal. I love a good, original story and if you haven't seen it, please go see it. It's really really, really good and really original and it's pretty cool. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 2:There are things in life that we love doing. Well, you at least got to find out what you love doing. I love doing this and as I get the rust off of me and I'm flowing and I get to understanding myself and what I want to do completely with this, to understanding myself and what I want to do completely with this, you know, I always encourage people like you have to find what you love to do and then drown yourself in it, and that's what I do. When it comes to like social media and in my market, I drown myself in it. That's what I do when it comes to like social media and in my market, I drown myself in it.
Speaker 2:And I'm trying to drown myself in this podcast run Because I just love to talk. My brain is crazy. It's a wild place. It's a bunch of monkeys and fucking zebras and aliens and three-headed Arnold Schwarzeneggers up there fighting each other aliens and three-headed Arnold Schwarzeneggers up there fighting each other and there's a He-Man sword along with a Power Rangers suit that He-Man is trying to put on and it's just freaking crazy up there and I have a bunch of stuff that I want to talk about.
Speaker 2:I have a bunch of stuff I want to say, and trying to be consistent in this has been like my biggest hurdle, right, because life gets all in your business, you know, and I embrace the challenge of it all Just trying to build my name in podcasting. A lot of time people don't embrace things, embrace the hardships of it all so it's all worth it in the end, Like I really accept the fact that it's been really hard to find consistency, because life be in the way you know, and then life be in the way and as life in this life and you trying to learn, okay, how am I get around this hurdle? How am I jump over this wall and those things? Next thing, you know you have 40 walls and in the my podcasting journey is way over those 40 walls and I'm like, okay, cool, I might get over the 40 walls. And then it was the weightless. You know life is like hold on. I know you, your legs tired, you working, I got seven more walls, seven more walls, two leprechauns and three dragons. You got to get past. And the next thing, you know, time, time, time, time, time, time, time goes, time, time, time, time, time goes and you feel like you can't do it.
Speaker 2:But I always felt like I was going to be able to get back to this, and that's like part of the thing that I always do for myself is I'm always like, nah, I'm going to get back to it. I know I am as much bullshit is going on or as much life in this life and I'm going to get back to what I want to do, and I think a lot of people need to live on that. They need to stand on it. Don't run away from you know the challenges and continue to kind of do these small things to keep you on the path, even if they're like just like pinch of salt things where you just something towards it.
Speaker 2:What you love to do, you just it's always a part of your life Big, small, small, super small medium. You're always doing something that puts you on like the path to fully doing what you want to do, cause it keeps you, keeps you kind of happy, and that's what I've always done, which is, you know, diving into social media. It's time to make my ducats. You know getting paid for posting on social media.
Speaker 2:I don't like to brag, ladies and gentlemen, but if I can make a couple of ducats, oh man, make a couple of ducats from posting on social media, bro, come on, come on.
Speaker 1:As the bullets were whizzing by my head in Kansas City, missouri, I'd have never thought, ever in my life that I'd be able to get up out of my bed, pull out my phone out of my bed, pull out my phone, post some shit that maybe makes some people laugh or they can relate to or they want to come party at, and I'd get paid for it.
Speaker 2:From a phone, from a cell phone. At one point, ladies and gentlemen, I had a cell phone that I had to go buy minutes for. It was a brick. It's no fucking retina screen. This is green, boxy shaped Nokia phone where everybody can get their hands on a SIM card. You can go anywhere at that time and get a SIM card. It was a boxy, small Nokia phone, green screen. I mean you could go in the local crackhead. He'd be like you need a chip for your phone. I got one, got $25, you get 150 minutes on it. You go anywhere and get a chip for your phone. Man, you go to the store. You go to the audio store. Usually I'm about to put 15s in my trunk, about to get Subwoofers in my trunk, and they were selling cell phones. Put the chip in there, right there and there I put the chip in there.
Speaker 2:I never thought, fast forward 85,000 years, that I would be able to just make money from my phone and I dive into it. Social media is not going nowhere. They can keep tabs on you. So you're not going nowhere. It's going to be around. Why not make money off of it? I always tell people, I talk to a lot of people and they want to be influencers. I always tell them I talk to a lot of people and they want to be influencers. I always tell them it's free. It's free Now. How hard people had to work to, like, promote themselves before all this was available. How hard people had to work to promote themselves. What type of money had to put in to promote themselves, to be seen for whatever craft they were working on. And now they telling me now you telling me, you can go in the kitchen, pop your phone up, make your own dish in your head. I'm in the kitchen cooking. I got a dish I got to make. You're telling me, all you got to do is go in there, prop your phone up, hit the record button, say hello, baby, my name is Sharisa and I'm here. And I'm here to show you how to make my dish Mayonnaise, fried chicken. I'm going to make my mayonnaise fried. And then boom, because you sound like a scary grandma from Mississippi. And now you blown up and you're making money from your platform. And then sometimes you got to build it. And now you blown up and you making money from your platform. And then sometimes you got to build it. You know there is 100,000 people in your lane, but there are more people watching those 100,000 people in your lane, so you can definitely have the opportunity to be seen. It could be a first stream income. It could be a second stream income, it could be a third stream, it could be a fourth.
Speaker 2:You telling me, as hard as you work at your regular job, your part-time job, you can't. People tell me, oh, it's hard, it's difficult, I have to put time into it. That's what everything you in love. You got to put time into it. If you're taking a number two, you have to put time in it, and I put time on my number twos. You got to put time into everything. You want to mount your TV? You got to put time into everything. You want to mount your TV? You got to put time into it. Tv ain't going to just stand on his legs, climb up the wall and mount itself. You got to put time into it. Everything deserves time. But a lot of those things don't make you money and it's just not in your hand all the time. Your phone's in your hand all the time. So make.
Speaker 2:If you have a platform and you feel like you have an idea or there's something you want to do, just do it.
Speaker 2:So many people want to vlog food.
Speaker 2:Vlog food.
Speaker 2:Who gives it?
Speaker 2:Who cares? Everybody's doing it. Everybody's streaking, everybody's doing it. Do it. They want you to. They want you to use your platform. That's how it keeps everybody watching. That's how the ads work. So get on there, record your coffee, record whatever you got to record and use their platform. It just is going to require a little bit of time and it's the same.
Speaker 2:So, all in all, I'm saying I'm sorry I was off on a little bit of a tangent because a nigga get paid from posting on social media and I'm trying. I'm sorry, I was off on a little bit of a tangent because a nigga get paid from posting on social media and I'm trying to raise that up too. I want more money from giving it out. I want more of it. So those things keep me in line for as I start to record and I'm doing my podcast and I'm doing video. I understand social media and how it works. It helps. You know I take time and I discuss a lot of things with you know, friends of mine, about basketball or our movies and in scores on movies and in themes and ideas, and these are things that I enjoy. These are not. I'm not saying I'm out here saving lives, I ain't a doctor, I'm not a nurse, I'm not an EMT. Thank y'all for what y'all do, but these things matter.
Speaker 2:Entertainment matters. I saw in the studio which is, by the way, is a great TV show on Apple Seth Rogen show, very, very funny, Very good, and I don't know if I I don't want to spoil, but I'll give it a little bit. So in one of the episodes recently he was dating a doctor and you know they were kind of comparing doctor versus him being the head of a studio and you can't really you can compare, but you can't compare because he's saving lives and you know, trying to cure cancer and doing these things like that and you just provide entertainment. But he was like when you go into the hospital and you're resting from whatever surgery or whatever injury, whatever reason you're in the hospital, what's on the wall is the TV. That's where I want to, not me being an actor or nothing like that, but that's what I want to do.
Speaker 2:I want to talk about things I love. I want to talk about the art. I want to talk about things I love. I want to talk about the art. I want to talk about the music. I want to talk about the movies and television shows. I want to talk about sports. I love all that shit, so I want to talk about it and I got to talk about it. I can talk about this all the time. I talk about it all day, baby, I got to, not you got to. I want to talk about it and how much I want to talk about it. And do I want to do singular breakdowns or I just want to talk about like I've been doing today? I want to just lump it all together and you just enjoy the entertainment of me talking. There'll be times where I talk about real life stuff like what I was just doing, but there'll be times I may talk about that. Damn, just like I was on threads. Yeah, I use threads. Sucker they paying too. I'm trying to get them. I want them to send me the bonus too. I want to get paid off of threading. I want to thread and get paid for it. So I'll be on threads and I just seen that.
Speaker 2:Of course fixed it, but they was talking about Amazon was going to put the price. Amazon was going to put the price up of how much you would pay for it. Then they were going to put your actual price. You got to pay for it because of tariffs. And when the clip I was watching and they had talked about it, the reporter was like what are you going to do? Amazon is saying you're going to put the regular price up. You're going to put the price of tariffs and show the American people that they're actually paying for tariffs.
Speaker 2:And it was the cold, it was the wildest thing because the lady came out of nowhere. It was like I take that, watch out, john, back up, back up, jab, jab, back up. I got this. I just on the phone with the president. Yeah, that motherfucker. I was on the phone with him. He said it's an attack on political, it's an attack on the government. And then I shit you not.
Speaker 2:20 minutes later, it felt like 20 minutes later, maybe it was an hour later and Jeff Bezos was like what, Nah, man, what happened was we was in there having lunch, somebody had their phone, was talking to their mama and we was still on lunch. We was just talking about some stuff, we was playing around, somebody was on the phone with their mama and we was like, oh yeah, what if we was playing around. Somebody was on the phone with their mama and we was like, oh yeah, what if we was like posting the prices of tariffs? We was having lunch. Somebody had brought Don Julio talking about this is what all the people in the club drink. And Jeff Bezos was like I don't drink Don Julio, but because we on lunch and everybody in here is broker to me, I'll drink Don Julio with y'all. And then we was getting drunk. And then we was getting drunk and then we started talking about posting tariffs and that person's mama had heard that and that's how that got out. But we not doing that.
Speaker 2:And then Trump was on there talking about Jeff Bezos a nice guy, because he's not going to do that. But I'm going to get to real life, stuff like that. He's drinking downhills. He's like what's this? He's like this downhill, everybody in the club be drinking that. The rappers drink this. He's like oh, I'm not that type of poor. And they was like come on, just drink with us, bezos. We just having a meeting, we got lunch, everybody here. He said no-transcript and we was talking shit. So my mama got a hold of it. Put it out there. It's a lie. Trump said it was a lie. He said he's good people. Jeff Bezos is good people, but I plan on talking about real life stuff. I enjoy that shit. I'm going to have some fun.
Speaker 2:I learned video editing on my own. I learned everything in my life on my own, but all this stuff is all set up for you to learn. I'm a chat GP tier. If they had a school for chat GPT I would go for it. They probably do, but I learned chat GPT on my own. They should give me a degree. They should give me a plaque. I be on that shit. I pay $20 a month for it.
Speaker 2:I be trying to get my boy, davion, to pay $20 a month for ChadGBT. I told him, man, that 4.0 is different. Now I won't pay $200 a month, $200 a month for ChadGBT. I need ChachiBT To basically Be able To create Selma Hayek From Dust Till Dawn. Put her in front of me and then she also lay down with me and we watch TV shows and movies together. She big spoon me If, $200 a month, chachi BT creates Selma Hayek from Dust Till Dawn and that Dust Till Dawn and not vampire version of her, the dancing putting the toe in Quentin Tarantino mouth version of her, is willing to big spoon me while I watch my TV shows and my sports. Then I'll pay $200 a month for Chachi BT. They say, man, all they got to do is they can email me and say we can do it. And I say you got $200 a month from Shade. $200 a month, sell my hi-hat Dust or done Big spoon Sports TV shows $200 a month. They got it. I'm going to give them a round of applause. They pull that off. Here Come.
Speaker 2:But I use chat GPT, but I learned everything. And people don't want to learn, but there's so much to learn. I don't want to be, you know, 60 and then, staring at something inside of a store, be like, damn, how does this work? Oh shit, I guess I. Oh, let me get my glasses, let me see here. Oh, I guess I push this here, okay. And then I move excuse me, young lady, yeah, push this right here. This is what I do right here. Move this up and down, okay, okay, I couldn't figure it out for nothing, thank you. And then she walk off and she like old ass motherfucker. I don't want to be the old ass motherfucker. I don't even want to be the old ass motherfucker who drive and slow on the streets I have.
Speaker 2:I expect myself not to have a Tesla, because they're the hottest thing on the streets and I ain't talking about something to buy, I'm talking about there. There are. There are regular white people spraying up Teslas. And when I talk about spray, if you don't know what that means, that means that in the hood, when they spraying something up, that means there's an automatic weapon in somebody's hands who cannot shoot and they are spraying up everything possible. And that's what white people are doing to Teslas. If you're driving a Tesla, they are rolling by, rolling the window down what up cuz? By rolling the window down what up cuz? And they spraying them things up. So I wouldn't have a Tesla, but I plan on if I'm an old person, I plan on having a car that can drive by itself. So I want to be able to use my driving. If it's on there and it's available, I want to use the tool. So you can't look at me, you can't be mad at me, because I know how to work my shit in my car and my shit's driving fast. It's doing what it's supposed to do and I still want my hand-eye coordination. That's why I get on call duty and I be popping fools, I be popping suckers. On there I be man I grew up with just outside video games, cordless phones, more video games, dial-up internet.
Speaker 2:It sounds like dial-up internet had no choice. It sounded exactly like what I would imagine. This is why I know my brain is wild what I would imagine. This is why I know my brain is wild. But when dial-up internet was a thing, it sounded as if you was really waiting on ET to pick up the phone. It had the most craziest sound and you was like, okay, I'm sure ET is going to pick up and phone home. Et is going to pick up and probably his older brother, you know RT is going to going to pick up and he going to be willing to talk to you for a little bit before he connects you to internet. That's what it sounded like. I grew up with that Cell phone. That was bricks and minutes To what I have in my hand, which is a pro max 16 iPhone and I will get the 17 because I'm that guy, I'm a tech guy, I'm a gadget guy.
Speaker 2:I stay involved with all. I learned it all. I don't like to be the guy that just calls somebody or take something somewhere. I like to do, and that should just go for whatever you love to do. You should want to dive into it and learn it Ins and outs. I think everybody should have something, even if you feel like you know what the cubicle is for me but you love to read books. You know what's crazy If the cubicle is for you but you love to read books. If you took the love of you reading books and applied it to social media, you will find out there's a fan base for it.
Speaker 2:I'm reading a book right now. I can't tell you what the book is, but I'm reading it right now because I can't remember the name of it. I'm just challenging myself five pages a day. That's what I'm doing right now and I've been doing it and I can't remember the lady. I said in my last episode the lady did, I say it, that's it. So the lady um, at the barnes and nobles, she was real aggressive about it. So I was like, all right, lady, okay, I had a book in my hand. She's what the fuck is this? You getting this shit. I'll tell you something better. And I said, okay, I'll get your book you talking about, lady, because I'm just trying to read five pages.
Speaker 2:I'm trying to get better, trying to be a little bit smarter, but if you love to read books and you a cubicle specialist, you like to work in cubicles. You like to go in at 7, leave at 3, or you like to go in at 8, leave at 4, 9, leave at 5, whatever it is, you like your cubicle, you like the temperature being at 80 degrees, you like to work in that space. You like somebody hovering over you You're talking about, hmm, yeah, you like that shit. That's what you love to do, cool, but you love to read books. You really love to read books. There is a whole community on social media that loves reading books and you can turn it into profit. Use your platform. Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2:I say all that to say I'm always doing something. Even when I wasn't able to record it, just felt like I was always doing something to get me back to this space. Don't lose your dream, don't lose your love, because life be lifin'. Hold on to it, handcuff it. You know what I'm saying. Put an air tag on it, don't lose it. Always keep it around. Do something to put yourself in that space, to give yourself something to smile about, because it's still there for you as I'm shaking the rust off. I'm so happy to be back shooting this shit. And it's crazy because you see people downloading your episodes or they subscribe, or you see people the what's happening and you're like there's people listening to me. I don't know who you are because I haven't masked that type of fan base yet, but I plan on it. I'm planning on doing it real soon because I enjoy that shit.
Speaker 2:When you enjoy something, you want to just get it done. You want to speed it up as much as possible. You're ordering shit, you're buying shit, you're learning shit, you're reading shit. That feeling is not a usual feeling. Like for women is like I joke a lot, please don't take all this joke a lot but for women is like finding the man that checks all the boxes. For men is like all the boxes. For men it's like finding the woman that sucks real good. I'm just telling the truth. That's what it's like. It's like women find the man that checks all the boxes, and for men it's like oh my gosh, she's the greatest at the BJ. That's what it's like. That's what it's like. That's what it's like and I love it, man. And you know, greg Popovich, I ain't got a little bit more time.
Speaker 2:Greg Popovich talked about having the appropriate amount of fear, and Steve Kerr talks about this, and Greg Popovich was the head coach of San Antonio Spurs, and I get it. Do you have like this little bit of fear that you can fail in something, but it's not enough to stop you from doing it, but it's enough to drive you, to push you to want to do good in it because you don't want to fail, and it's okay if you do? But the hunger, the, the, the, the fear of quitting. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not having that. I always knew I'd be back here talking.
Speaker 2:It's hard Sometimes, man. Sometimes it's hard to find what you, what you, what you, what you, jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis is. Now, if you go Google who Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis is, I love you for doing that. I have my own slang. Sometimes I just say shit and I say Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and I mean that in a good way. I can say, oh man, this gas price is Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are human beings. But I say, oh man, this peanut butter judge sounds it's Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Jimmy Butler was Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis last night, draymond Green in a game with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis Last night. Oh I'm Let me chill, but I do that.
Speaker 2:But you got to find your Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and when you find it, you feel it. It's hard to find. When you find it, you feel it, you just want to drown in it, submerge yourself. People tap out and it feels it's weird. Because when you do something for a long time I did music for a long time and I'll tell you stories about it one of these days but I did music for a long time. I rapped and I did music engineer with mixing and mastering, and I produced. I learned so much and I drowned myself and it's crazy because I drowned myself in that too and you learn everything from scratch. Learn everything from scratch. Well, you know, my boy, kb, had a great help in teaching me how to rap, but I learned so much more and I was able to to, to. To take that because when you're doing music, you gotta promote yourself, promoting myself, selling myself.
Speaker 2:You know how hard it is to sell CDs to motherfuckers, to niggas in the hood, in the gas station. That shit ain't easy. Just learning how to sell myself, learning how to promote myself, ends up putting me in something that I've been doing for damn near fucking 11 years now. That's funded my whole life. So those loves of things, until you find your ultimate love man, they all help you, a lot of them. Oh, I found a video with uh, I'll be, I'll be looking for it. It'd be so hard to find man.
Speaker 2:It's always like I always miss steph talking post game, but I just found it and I'm gonna watch it when I'm done. I get to watch my boy, stephy stephley snipes. I call him, y'all call him steph, I call him stephley snipes, stephley snipes, not wesley snipes. Stephley snipes, steph Lee Snipes. Steph Lee Snipes, not Wesley Snipes, steph Lee Snipes, that's my guy. I don't even talk about being because that's my favorite player of all time Curry number two, and I mean he is climbing for me man and I mean he is climbing man. But yeah, I just seen his post game. I get to watch it when I'm done doing this.
Speaker 2:But so we all lined up. I'll check these emails real quick. Oh shit. He's sending me the stands and shit. Oh, that's what's up. Gq, that's what's up. Okay, okay, that's what's up. Gq, that's what's up. Okay, okay, that's what's up.
Speaker 2:I gotta put my TV, I gotta. I got my TV that I love so much. I gotta put it on a stand, entertainment stand. But I'm thinking about this stand I seen from y'all here with me. It's my shit. I'm gonna share it with you. What I got, I'm gonna share it with you. Just my shit. Y'all listen to share it with you. Just my shit. Y'all listen to me. Y'all just stay with me. I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do. So I was looking at this entertainment stand and it's on Amazon and it's like the. It's damn near like when you was in.
Speaker 2:You got to be old to understand this, but there was a time in elementary school and even middle school and even in high school at some point, where they had these rolling things that had this square TV on it and it was the best thing ever when you seen it roll into the class. That means that it's about to get dark and you don't have to learn shit anymore, because they were going to turn something on the TV and it was supposed to teach you something. When the TV came on, I was gone. You see, oh shit, yay, they bring it in the TV. Clap, clap, tv time. I'm gone, sleep. If I'm not sleep, I am somewhere with the ninty turtles and we fucking up shredder. I am not here right now.
Speaker 2:The tv was the best thing you could get in school outside of a snow day back in kansas city. It was like the best fucking thing, and summer Summertime break it was the yeet. It always had a little squeak to it. If your shit didn't have a squeak to it, you was living in a new school. Our shit had a squeak to it. You got to be poor and black. It had a squeak to it. Yeet, yeet, oh shit. You can hear that shit coming down the hallway Yeet, yeet, yeet, yo shit. That's the TV. We about to watch something. I ain't doing shit.
Speaker 2:Going to sleep At a young age like I was tired. I'm going to sleep, but I need entertainment. But that's the one I was going to buy on Amazon because it looks like one of the ones you can attach your TV to and you could just move it around. You know, it wasn't like no real entertainment. I was putting on the wall. I like I got a lot of room in here, so I like that in my front room. It's just my recliner, because I live like that. I live, nigga. It's just me and my dog and all this motherfucking space. I ain't got to motherfuckers over my crib. Motherfuckers ain't running up in my shit. I don't want no guests. I don't need no card table, no dining table. This is me. This is me, winston, in my recliner, in that big-ass TV I got I'm going to put in my front room. I'm going to watch all my shit on. But he's just sending me some entertainment things. It's pretty cool. I'm going to check them out.
