Ladies and gentlemen, this is Thaddeus Shades. You are listening to Seasonable Clout and it is Tuesday, uh, tuesday May 13th, uh, 2025, it's 2025,. Just in case anybody from the future listens to this podcast, it is chaotic still and gas is higher than a motherfucker. I don't even eat eggs and I still hear about eggs. It's a bunch of shit going on and we're just trying to make it through. The regulars, the regulars are just trying to make it through. So if you find this, I'm sorry. We tried really hard. If it's 15 years into the future, 25 years of it, you hear this, this and shit is all upside down. We are sorry. Ladies and gentlemen, we tried our semi-best Four capabilities, but we tried our semi, semi, semi-best. And look at me, I'm back A model of consistency, a person that can be trusted. I've been here three weeks straight now. Three weeks straight, four weeks straight. Is it three weeks? Because I'm on episode? Damn it, let's find out what episode I'm on. Episode 85. Episode 85, episode 85. And I'm here and we're going to have a good time today Because when it's my podcast, I like to get real random.
Speaker 1:I talk about a bunch of shit. There's some life stuff in there you can use. There's some true life stuff. There's some social media things that you can use. There's some true life stuff. There's some social media things that you can use. How about your personal life? How about your business? You could prosper listening to my podcast, especially if you need to run your business through social media. You never know what you're going to get, man, but it's entertainment. I'm here for entertainment Because the world is chaotic, it is upside down, and I'm just waiting for the final season of Stranger Things to hit so I can truly enjoy myself. Let's give a clap. Fatty of shade, seasonable clout. I do have my coffee with me today and I just want to say that I miss Target. Do you see the sadness in my face? Let me move the mic.
Speaker 1:I miss Target. I haven't been to Target in months, ladies and gentlemen. I miss it, but I won't go. You know why I won't go. You see the color of my skin. I won't go, but I miss it. The calmness, oh, feeling like a regular, but I miss it. The calmness, oh, feeling like a regular Society member who pays taxes, just walking into Target, smelling the Target air. But I won't go back, sons of bitches, I won't go back. I won't do it. I walked in there a couple of times and I seen no motherfucking black people in there. I turned around, ashamed of myself, saddened by wanting to see the beauty of inside Target. I won't do it. You won't get my dollars, y'all know why. But you are missed, missed, and, sarah, I miss you too, like I miss Target. You're one of my best freaks and I miss you, sarah. Sarah, listen, come on, come on home. I miss you. Sarah, sarah, listen, come on, come on home. I miss you. I'm just playing.
Speaker 1:There was once a time where you would just have to confront a person. Yeah, you could talk shit in school and the word could get around school and, you know, eventually would get back to the person you were maybe like talking shit about. Right, it was spread around the school. It was, you know, middle school, high school and shit, college. It was a time right, sorry, I hit my mic and in that time, that time was a special time, but because you, because you knew you was gonna have to deal with a motherfucker on site, I going to have to deal with this human here eventually, because nobody holds anything when you were in school. So if you were talking bad about somebody, if you was talking shiznit about somebody, they would eventually find out and there could be a meeting after school where you would throw Fist of cups Right. And I semi missed that time. Let me get a sip of my coffee. You ever just stare at your coffee. Take a look at it Because you're impressed by it. I made it at the crib. You ever just stare at your coffee. Take a look at it because you're impressed by it. I made it at the crib.
Speaker 1:When I get done with this episode, I'm going to go get me something from somewhere else. I got to go find me a coffee shop to hit up something new. You know I stay in the coffee shops. I'm going to get in there and I'm going to get me something new. But I said I missed the time because I know that you was going to have to throw him, man or woman. You was going to have to throw him. Oh, you was talking shit about Sally. Sally was going to find out. You was talking shit about Bruno. Bruno was going to find out. I don't know why I'm using names from the 60, but just roll with me. You got the idea right. If you were talking shit, that person would eventually find out and there would be an issue.
Speaker 1:Now people are hiding behind the keyboards and that's been like that for a while now. Right the keyboards, your fingers through your phone, you just bop, bop, bop, bop, bop and you're talking shit. You're blasting any business that you can and any anytime, because you just feel like my platform is built. I'm just going to talk negatively about everything possible. Anything possible I'm going to talk negatively about, I don't care, because nothing's going to happen to me, because nowadays people are a lot tougher, they're a lot, they're built with that behind typing and texting and posting on social media. There's no more fear. There's no fear for talking a mass amounts of shit and posting on social media, cause there's no, there's no real consequences anymore, cause the other person is just going to hop on social media and then they're going to type back and it's just going to be a go back and forth or whatever. Nobody slaps the shit out of nobody anymore. Nobody has a good, solid Joseph Jackson hand anymore.
Speaker 1:Hey, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, suck. It fluctuates. Whatever pops out is what I pop out with, and it happens all the time. And I'm in the nightclub business and we're just a nightclub. Ladies and gentlemen, we're not your local government, your city council, we're not your mayor, we're not your government, your governor, it's not the president. We're a nightclub. We're not your government, your governor, it's not the president, we're nightclub.
Speaker 1:Or there's people with restaurants and every day folks try to rip shit down With no real base facts, just my experience, without the business being able to really retaliate properly, without getting more backlash from people. So basically, the person can go on. I'm going to open up my phone, I'm going to go and I'm going to have a good rant about this place that I've been at, whether it's a restaurant, a store, and it's usually mom and pop, a small business, whatever it may be. I'm going to get on here and I'm going to spray it up and usually, if you know anything about the spray up, nobody that is intended to get hit actually gets hit. Everybody else is just, you know, gets the damage done to them, right.
Speaker 1:But I'm going to get on here and I'm just going da-da-da-da, and the business cannot retaliate because then they look like the guilty party and that shit sucks, man, because people work hard, man. Then they look like the guilty party and that shit sucks, man, because people work hard, man. People work hard to get people to just get their business structure right Employees and getting good employees to give good customer service and you're putting money up for this and putting money up for that and insurance for this, and you're dealing with the city for that and you're putting money up for this and putting money up for that and insurance for this, and you're dealing with the city for that. And you're dealing with somebody from the city. You didn't know that was a part of the city, but his job is to come fuck with you and shit. You're dealing with a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 1:And then you, you know, not everybody runs a perfect ship, a ship, not everybody runs a perfect ship. Things happen, things happen. I'm sure shit happens in your life, shit happens in my life that I'm not perfect with. But businesses, especially small businesses, they get smoked out. If you're a big, giant company like the shit-tastic one that I refuse to go to right now, that I miss, I low-key miss, I miss you and I miss you Sarah. Remember this. I miss you. Hearts, heart, eyes. You were the best, you were the best, and I'm not talking about love. You know what I'm talking about. You know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1:But the bigger companies people still go to. The CEO of the company is not going to read your email. There's a person of a person. There's a person. There's a person. There's a person. There's a person that might read your email. But they continue to function knowing that we'll see you again. But they continue to function knowing that we'll see you again.
Speaker 1:But the small store only takes a couple of small pellets to end up causing massive amounts of damage. And people don't really think when they get on. They just I'm going to say this and I think that's a little bit fucked up when you don't do it with the intent to really cause change within the business, when you just want to be a motherfucker, to try to rally troops, to talk shit about a business, when you got employees inside that business, when you got people who have invested in that business, you don't really think, think about that. You just want to get on and really smoke a business out. Now we're talking about getting trash service.
Speaker 1:I'll give you an example denny's was, like, known for being some racist motherfuckers back in the 90s, some racist motherfuckers right now. We're gonna smoke you out. And we didn't have. We didn't have social media, so we just had to like we sent going to smoke you out and we didn't have social media, so we just had to like we sent pigeons to each other. And word of mouth at church, word of mouth at the liquor store.
Speaker 1:Uncle Elroy I don't know why I keep coming up with these crazy Uncle Elroy who buying his E&J at the liquor store hey man, I don't fuck with Denny Denny's not going to liquor store. Hey man, I don't fuck with Denny Denny's. Nah, I don't fuck with us, I don't fuck with Denny's. You understand what I'm saying? I really Gotta get some WD-40 for my chair. Do you hear that thing? It sounds like A door in an old mansion and then there's gonna be an old lady and the old lady gonna come out and just Pop out of nowhere and I'm going to scream and shit my pants. It's a squeaking ass chair. But yeah, when you do some flagrantly foul shit, you deserve to get smoked out.
Speaker 1:If the restaurant provides you with below average service, you could have caught him on a bad night Because there were a ton of other people that probably got good service. When you go and you order your food and maybe your food ain't what you heard or what you seen it's possible you could have caught them on a bad night, a bad day. Everybody's a food critic, so everybody wants to hop on and they want to blast the business, not knowing what that does to the business If the business can't stand up to the bullshit. Hold on, let me get my phone real quick. Sip of the coffee. Oh, I'm kind of in one today. I wonder why that is, though. Because it's like the comfortable norm. The comfortable norm, everybody does it. Everybody's a food critic, I do it. I mean, I do a bunch of coffee videos People have to like.
Speaker 1:Personally, ask me what I think of the coffee that I posted. What do you think of the match that you posted? I'll tell you privately, but I'm not out to destroy a lot of these coffee spots. They're like, they're not corporate businesses, they're small businesses. Maybe that day my coffee wasn't what it was supposed to be. I'm usually up for giving a spot another shot, and when I go to the spot again, when I go to the coffee shop again, they usually surprise me.
Speaker 1:Oh shit. The last time I was here, this shit was shitty. This was horrible shit it was. You know, I was what I imagine drano and sugar. This was horrible shit it was. You know what I imagine Drano and sugar tastes like. That's what it was last time I was here. But this time this is beautiful.
Speaker 1:You did a great job because you got to give businesses a chance. Your experience ain't everybody's experience, but motherfuckers that have an experience and they'll go right on and these motherfuckers don't know how to serve. I had to wait this long for this and I had to wait this long for that. And then business is behind the curtain. You don't get to see behind that. It's chaos Trying to run a business and because you a cubicle, I'm not going to do that.
Speaker 1:But because you don't know, you don't understand, it's easy to get on the phone and just attack, attack, attack. That's why I don't use my platform like that. I really do try to keep it. You know what it's supposed to be for. You try to meet people. Or you know, share, share, excitement about places, places that you visited, you know, and it does give you a voice. You know a lot of people use it for cheap therapy, but it does give you a voice if you use it correctly. Motherfuckers, just choose to be negative with it.
Speaker 1:On my page I posted so, for example. I posted this uh, and I and I'll post the video, what I'm talking about. I posted this video of um, this fish, right, and the fish is like being milked for caviar and it was like let me look at this up, let me grab my phone real quick, let's see here, pop that open like that. I'm assuming that's one kilogram. The beluga caviar is sold for $7,500, and it is obtained by milking a sturgeon I don't even know if I'm getting that right a sturgeon, but you watch the video and it's like you know how you tell a girl you're interested. Come on over, I'm going to give you a massage. That's what he's doing to the fish. He's like massaging the fish. All you got to do is put some 80s porn music behind it and it'll get real weird.
Speaker 1:And then all this weird black shit is coming out and that shit is so expensive and you look old TikTok motherfuckers taking shots of look like fish, ass Fish shit, like fish shit. Now, now I know it's not, that's not it, but anytime you see some some dark shit coming out the the bottom of some shit. You thinking, oh man, that's shit, you don't really use that shit. That's dookie. I like to say that's dookie, I gotta go dookie. That's dookie, that fish is dookie. And then people are putting it on them, the, the, the between the index and like it's coke, and then they shooting dookie. They like snorting dookie or eating a dookie. But you know what I'm saying? It's like Pulp Fiction, god damn motherfuckers hitting the caviar and then they getting the shit, the dookie, in their mouth. But this shit is expensive. But it's interesting to see and it's interesting to know that people pay a lot of money. My boy Gus saw the see and it's interesting to know that people pay a lot of money. My boy Gus saw the video and he's like, yeah, the place he works, people thousands of dollars for caviar and outside of arm wrestling, you know, or wild shit.
Speaker 1:Sometimes I have to reel my shit back in. I told you it's dark, but you'd have to really. You know, have my family members tied up for me to do some caviar? I mean, you have to really tell me like, look, we got your family tied up. They down in the basement, we pouring, we pouring acid on toes and shit. And then you got to show me a video and I'm probably going to allow my little brother to have about at least eight of his toes burned off before I actually try some caviar. And I'm sorry, bro, they're going to have to burn with the acid. They're going to take off eight of your toes when you got two toes left.
Speaker 1:I'm like fuck bro, alone I'm going to try some caviar and then I'm going to be upset with him when we get him free. When he free, I'm like man, why your bitch ass get caught? Now? I had to eat some caviar. I got dookie in my mouth. This ain't fun. There's nothing fun about having fish. Dookie in my mouth Tastes expensive, like expensive dookie. It's horrible. I bet you there's no way that shit tastes good. And who I am judging? I'm judging you. Yes, I'm judging you. It's my podcast. I'm judging you from my fucking podcast room.
Speaker 1:Caviar looks nasty. I ain't never tried it. I'm vegan now, but I ain't never tried it. Man, I ain't never tried it. It ain't never looked scrumptious. It ain't never looked good. I don't even know how I react if I was on a date and she was like I'm gonna get me some caviar. I look her dead in the eye and I tell her you're paying for it. I'm not paying for that. I'm not paying for you to eat caviar in front of me, to eat dookie in front of me. You're not going to just eat dookie in front of me. But that's what I use my platform for. I try to keep it fun, keep it entertaining. Show places that I've been, show places that I go.
Speaker 1:Books I'm reading, mr Murray. I'm reading. I'm an eighth grade teacher. You didn't believe it, I started reading. I'm reading, mr Murray. I'm reading. My eighth grade teacher. You didn't believe it, I started reading. I'm reading. So many years later, I'm finally reading. Huh, you didn't expect that, but I am. But I am reading, motherfucker.
Speaker 1:I hope that at some point that energy shifts and maybe we can step back from the small businesses and assassinating and trying to take down without real merit. Hopefully I used that right. Hopefully I used that right. This is Thaddeus Shea. You're listening to Ceasar McLeod. Applause, applause, applause, applause. You get back to slapping people.
Speaker 1:But um, also, when I was uh up this morning, I seen a video of this. I think he was white, it was white, and he was in a full pursuit of happiness suit with a briefcase. See, I do that with detail. Now you can get a visual pursuit of happiness suit Right. Pursuit of happiness, suit Right With a briefcase Smoking. Now what he was smoking Looks like a cigarette. Let's pull up the phone. I'm gonna pull up the video and put it up there for y'all so y'all can see Where's my shit. I'm going to pull up the video and put it up there for y'all so y'all can see. Oh, it wasn't a briefcase, it was a bag Full pursuit of happiness suit.
Speaker 1:Full pursuit of happiness suit on a bag and he's smoking a cigarette. But he's got to have something else in the system. So he's moving Like I've had six cups of coffee, maybe seven, but I'm sure top dollar I'm putting, I'm willing to put top dollar. That's premium meth. That's premium meth, the finest of meth that you could probably only find in a very small, small rural area in the Midwest, somewhere where somebody's a kingpin of meth, but they have 18 four-wheelers and the trailer that they live in has about four deer heads in it and they also hello Billy. And there it is, and he's the kingpin of the meth that's supplying this system, or this guy with his movement, because I've never seen it. Pursuit of Happiness suit A little bag of Siggy Moving with the meth energy I've never seen it.
Speaker 1:I love social media man. I use it for all the fun it is. You've never seen it. I love social media man. I use it for all the fun it is. You can learn a lot, see a lot. I use it the right way. I think I do. I think I think I use it the right way. It's not for me to be negative on that. I'm gonna post that video. I mean he was.
Speaker 1:I locked my keys. So I got, I got an older Challenger and I locked my keys in the car, right, and granted, listen, I don't want to get rid of my Challenger, the 2009,. The rear lights, you can't, you can't get them like that. They're way different from any other challenger, right? So there's a reason why I keep you know. Plus, it's got sentimental value dealing with my mother and all that stuff, right. So, um, I lock my keys in there and I refuse for some reason, to just not call locksmith, get my key fobs, you know, rekeyed and all those things. But I locked it in there, right.
Speaker 1:So I had to call and you know, you know if you're black, it black. You know how to get into some stuff. And my car is old enough to where you know beautiful, beautiful color blue. Beautiful color blue and nice rims. Nice rims too. Beautiful color blue, though. Beautiful color blue, and nice rims nice rims too. And she's old enough where you can do what the blackity black things used to do, which was I needed a wire hanger.
Speaker 1:So I hit my little brother who I was gonna let have eight of his toes burned off with acid over some caviar. I hit him. I was like hey, bro, I know this is bullshit and I'm just trying to avoid calling a locksmith and I probably should call locksmith, but I'm just trying to avoid you wouldn't happen to have a wire hanger. And B damn it, this motherfucker had a wire hanger Now I'm getting back to the meth story here in a second but he had a wire hanger. That was more confusing to me than geometry or algebra. Algebra, because why do you have a wire hanger? I don't know anybody that still has wire hangers. If you have a wire hanger, please let me know you have wire hangers so I can block you. I don't trust you if you still have wire hangers. He had one Thank God he did, because I had to get to the club this was Friday night Called him I said look man, I'm in a tight spot, you got a wide hanger.
Speaker 1:He going to smack his lips and say you know, I got a wide hanger. I said, man, ain't no way, you got no wide hanger. He said I got a wide hanger. Watch this, pull it up. He had a wired hanger. It was a wired hanger. I haven't seen one, probably since like early 2000s. Maybe I just just don't buy them. I didn't know they existed still. He had a wired hanger Maybe maybe you get them from like just dry cleaning. When they do dry cleaners, do they still give you wired hangers when you get dry clean? Maybe my brother don't have nothing he need to get dry cleaning. That's fucked up to say. I'm sorry it's fucked up to say but I don't think he has anything that requires dry cleaning. I don't know why he got a wired hanger. Can't leave the hood, he can't take the hood out of him, but he got a wired hanger. He brought it over.
Speaker 1:We got in there, and the reason I even bring it up because we was there's spot moments when black people are doing shit, right. When black people are doing shit that fits the black people stereotype, but we not doing the black people stereotype shit, there's a level of nervousness that happens. You get nervous, you start looking. I'm breaking into my own shit, this is my shit. But one of my neighbors is going to say something. I know they're going to say something, because what am I doing? What am I doing? Just trying to break into my own whippity whip and successfully mind my ass.
Speaker 1:We had to get through. We was wiggling in that moment. This ain't going in 60 seconds. Nicholas Cage would be disappointed. But we was working it. We was jimmying. He was like go there, go over there. I said I'm going to try and I'm trying. He said go up there. I said I'm going up that way. So I'm jimmying, we jimmying with the hanger and we working and we making it work. Boom, we get in there right.
Speaker 1:And now the next thing I said cool, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom. And we jimmy in there. We get in there and we wrap it around the the lock right, cause you can still get in there. And it's like right there, and I'm like I try to pull up. It's like we made a little loop on the hanger and we in there and you can hear the Mission Impossible theme is doom, doom, doom, doom and you can feel it.
Speaker 1:You get, get goosebumps. You're like I'm doing something I'm supposed to do but I'm moving up to the black stereotype but I'm not doing black stereotype shit. And then all of a sudden I pull up and I miss. I'm like fuck, I go back in. So how much time we got left. He said I ain't keeping time. But I felt like he should have been keeping time because it was a very pressured situation, because I don't want no white people to call no cops. So we get in there and I miss again. Shit, I'm getting frustrated. You know black people have small tolerances for fucking up on some bullshit. That should be working easily. It's right there. Third try wow, big shade got it. Sucker, unlock that muck book, grab my fucked up ass key fob.
Speaker 1:We did it. I looked at him, he looked at me and it was something about the moment that made us. You know, we just felt Something together. You don't get a chance. People do regular things they have like Thanksgiving and Christmas with their family, me and my brother. Man, we break it in my own car. Man, that shit means something to me. That shit deep to me you know what I'm saying that shit deep fam Success. We did it, man, you come right out of a comic book. I do, I do. By the way, we met Jim Kelly. We met Jim Kelly at Comic-Con. I talked about it. I talked about Comic-Con, my last episode. I forgot to mention we met Jim Kelly. It's pretty cool, man, but yeah, we was able to get in there.
Speaker 1:The reason I even brought that up to go along with Methy Meth was because we was moving, like him, we was looking around, we was paranoid. When you see the video, he's like he's jerking and shaking and shit and looking around and shit. And that's what you're not supposed to do, though, but we was doing it, because we ain't real professional criminals. You're supposed to look steady, have steady hands, like a surgeon Dr Strange, before his hands got fucked up, but then, eventually, dr Strange, when he got his shit together you know what I'm saying when he got his hands back, he was steady. Me and my brother, we weren't steady, we was nervous.
Speaker 1:He was looking around because we didn't want the police to pull up, because it wasn't going to be nothing but tases and ass beatings. I'm like this is my car. They said this ain't your car. Look at this challenge. That's the tasing happening. They was going to beat us up. They was going to whoop our ass and throw us in the back and be like this is my car. Oh shit, this is my bad. This is your car. And he was going to let us out and we was going to be bleeding and hurting though suing. This is daddy in shade. This is the season will go out.
Speaker 1:And it's so crazy because the club was packed. They were the people there. They were there to see her rapping her songs. I didn't even know she had songs. I didn't even know her songs were towards Travis Barker Blink-182 songs. I didn't even know she had songs. I didn't even know her songs were towards Travis Barker Blink-182. I used to listen to Blink-182. I didn't know her songs were towards Alabama. I don't even know these things until I researched it.
Speaker 1:I don't, I didn't know, and I'm like Travis Barker's daughter. I'm like this guy's a drummer, he's a nice guy. I think I don't know him. I like to think in my head Travis Barker's a nice guy. Say we had to. You know I'm in LA. You know I'm happening to go out and get a little yogurt, dairy-free, and you know he's in there. I expect the conversation to be nice between me and Travis Barker. It's a nice conversation, you know. I tell him how I wanted to play drums, he's like, no, you didn't. I'm like, yeah, I know I didn't, but I'm making conversation with you and he's like you know what you kind of look like Shaquille O'Neal, and I'm like end of the conversation. But I think it's going to be a nice end to the conversation, like hey, man, have a good day. He's like you too, shaquille. But I didn't know they was beefing and they were in there rapping their songs.
Speaker 1:It was an interesting energy to see. It's very interesting and very social media driven and the negative was heavy and I was shocked. You know you get the newer celebrities. They're not really that friendly. When you're new, you're not really that friendly. It's not even a coin toss. Most of them are very. They're not really that friendly. When you're new, you're not really that friendly. It's not even a coin toss. Most of them are very, very nose up in the ass.
Speaker 1:Don't talk to me, you peasant. Don't look this way, you peasant. Oh, don't look at me, but it's always the veterans. I say this multiple times. It's always the vets that are the coolest, willing to shake everybody's hand, talk to people. They've just been famous and so they're like, yeah, I've been famous, so I know what it comes with. Don't get too close. I'm a guy that makes you. I put you in a headlock, people's elbow on your eyeball. Don't get too close, because TI and Tiny came in. They just came in. They were doing a show in Tucson, arizona. You know they gave Corey the heads up, they were coming and they wanted to stop in the club. And it's wild, because it's TI and his wife Tiny, who's from the group Xscape. His wife is from the group Xscape and TI is TI right, legendary R&B group, rb group escape. His wife tiny ti, hip-hop royalty, legendary rapper, coming to the club. Now I have big time excitement. Oh shit, it's ti, ti, it's TI just was watching Ant-Man. Ti was in Ant-Man 2. I was just watching that and I listened to a shit ton of TI right and TI get there.
Speaker 1:He cool as hell. He been famous for a long time, still wanted space. You know, you old, so you know I don't mean to call you old lady, but you old Nigga wanted space. He old. He with his wife. They was having a good time. He wanted space, but he was staying high. He was taking pictures at the end of the night.
Speaker 1:No, no, no. Frowns no. Upside down frowns no. Back to fuck up, no attitude, just cool enjoying himself. Great for me.
Speaker 1:But what's weird and it's not to say that the youngins don't know who he is they didn't have it like bad baby coming, it's just bro, bro. The craziest thing is to watch the difference, because you know ti's royalty, right, bad baby ti come in the club and there's some people up there like, oh shit, that's ti, but it wasn't the same. And I'm like, and I'm mad because I'm like it's, it's ti, but ti go on tour. Tour sells out. I understand because people there's a whole run of us who absolutely are big fans of ti, so the tour gonna sell out.
Speaker 1:Wherever we go, it's ti, the young youth. And they're like, oh, it's just an old nigga on the stage. I think that's somebody. And they on their phones on the dance floor. They, they on the floor getting freaky, pulling out their phones. Come on, girl, keep shaking that ass. She's like I'm going to keep shaking that ass, but let me pull out my phone. He's like I'm going to pull out my phone too, because I don't know who on the stage right now. Come on, girl, Keep shaking that ass.
Speaker 1:I seen him in Roll Bounce, think that's the name of the movie. Oh yeah, he rap. I know what he do. I know what his skill is he rap. That's TI. His son played a guitar. He a cold guitarist. I know his son and I'm still shaking my ass. I know who that is too, but I don't really care. I'm like how you don't care. It's TI and his wife Tiny, and they was playing. And it's just mind blowing to me Because I knew when I was growing up, I knew everybody, even if they wasn't from my time.
Speaker 1:If, say, for example, you know nine, 10, 9, say, 12, 13,. I'm going to even do this a little bit better, but at 12, 13 and I'm with my mama and we at Walmart, luther Vandross there, I'm going to know who Luther Vandross is and I'm going to be happy for my mama. I'm going to be happy. Oh shit, that's Luther Vandross, right? Let me see. I'm trying to put this together where it makes sense, where it makes sense. I ain't listening to Fresh Prince. Nah, I can't use Fresh Prince Rakim. Right, I ain't listening to Rakim like that. As I got older, I listened to Rakim Rakim, come anywhere. I'm like, oh shit, that's fucking Rakim, I'm going to lose my mind. Right, that's how he was.
Speaker 1:There was an appreciation for people that came before. These motherfuckers don't care Like that's TI that influenced hip-hop massively and TV shows and movies, and his wife was in the Escape, the R&B group and they had their own reality TV show. And you don't. There's no appreciation Because they carried themselves. Well, that's what it is. You got to be sloppy and shitty. I'm bitching like an old person. I'm sorry. I apologize, ladies and gentlemen, but it was a big deal.
Speaker 1:Ti and Tiny came into the building. I'm looking at the young youth. I'm like y'all don't appreciate this at all. Not a tiny bit for them to pop in the building. There was some people that had their cameras out. All of us, everybody on stage and everybody around had their cameras out. We trying to get pictures. The staff was trying to get pictures, a lot of the young youth. They was just. We don't know who is TI. I was very disappointed. Bad baby, they was nuts, nuts, ti and them come in the building because we can't, because TI is going to cost a grip to just bring him to the club. We can't do that. But he came in the party and nothing.
Speaker 1:There's something about going back and learning about the people who are a part of a genre whether it's music, television, history, whatever it is and learning about who had heavy impact. Now we got one hit wonders that had heavy hell shit. Ice Ice Baby, vanilla Ice. That was heavy impact. He was one of the first white rappers. You know what I'm saying. You hear the song Ice Ice Baby. You're like oh shit, it's Ice, ice, baby. You learn there's one hit wonders and then there's people who have heavy, heavy, heavy impact and you appreciate heavy, heavy impact just from a standpoint of like enjoying the genres of music, just because you want to know and learn and appreciate where the past meets present and where the present is going to eventually turn into the future. You just want to have a good idea of it all and have some appreciation for winning. That's what I think.
Speaker 1:I didn't see Rage and Bull, robert De Niro. I have great appreciation for how long Robert De Niro's been doing his thing. I've seen a lot of his movies. I might go watch Rage and Bull, robert De Niro's in my presence. I'm not going to be like I might go watch Raging Bull, robert De Niro's in my presence. I'm not going to be like, oh, that's Robert De Niro. I'm like, oh shit, I'm not running up to him because his security chopped me in the throat, but I am going to be like I was out and about and Robert De Niro was in the same place. I was at. That's fucking Robert De Niro.
Speaker 1:I'm going to know who he is and I'm going to say what's up. I'm going to say what's up, rob, how you doing? Rob, it's me, it's Thaddeus, but I know all the young cats. I try to learn all the young cats. As soon as they bring them up, I try to learn them. I try to understand them, not understand them, but I listen to them and, um, pull up their music. If the music hit, I'll add them to the Apple, you know. If it don't, you know that never gets any play in the ride, man, they never gets any play on the ride.
Speaker 1:It's just interesting, man, to, to, to witnesses, to, to witness the difference, the young, youth and, you know, the older generation. You see it, I see it all the time. It's a big difference, one of the cool things about my gig is just looking and seeing and people watching and learning a lot about the generation below you as far as and people think it's just partying, but you, you get to still learn a lot. You get to, you get to to see how people move, shake, interact with each other, how they react, what they react to the BPMs, how they move the energy. What song does what? What old song does what to them, how they react to this song from the 90s or 2000s. It's a bunch of stuff. This is a bunch of stuff you learn.
Speaker 1:Oh man, I've had some hiccups this episode. I've been recording and shit's been happening. My recording been stopping. I've been having to fix that, so there'll be some punch-ins. That's bullshit. I don't normally have this type of problem and I'm frustrated and I'm angry. I'm an angry man right now. You don't understand. I'm an angry man. I don't like to be angry, but I'm angry. I'm mad, but I'm happy to have done this episode with you and I'm actually going to cut this a little shorter than I wanted Just because I'm a little bit frustrated. You just be frustrated sometimes. Sometimes you just be frustrated sometimes. Sometimes you just be mad. You got to figure out the problem, and that's what I love to do when it comes to technology and my software is. I just love to figure out the fucking problem.
