00:00Shondo Blaze is here. What's happening? I'm doing great, man. How you doing?
00:04Doing good, doing good. Excellent, excellent. That's why I was up here.
00:06We ain't seen you since summertime. I'm telling you.
00:08You've been busy. I've seen you on the internet, man. You've been everywhere.
00:12What's that trail look like?
00:14I've been on a whole mission to take over Texas, man.
00:17You know, the last time we were here, I got really inspired by our conversation, too.
00:20And it really just told me, like, Texas is one of those types of places that needs to be put
00:26not only on the map because of its culture that's already known for it,
00:29not just a cowboy culture, but like a mixture of everything.
00:32Because you've got some people that's in between. You like all types of music, right?
00:35So it's like we've got to show a little bit of that.
00:37Show a little bit of the rural, a little bit of the city, and just blend that all together
00:40and wrap it up in a nice ball and present it to the world.
00:42So that's what we're doing now. We're taking over Texas.
00:44Taking it over? Yeah.
00:46So where are you being on this tour? I seen you were doing some OSU stuff.
00:50Yeah, yeah, yeah. So basically, I'm in the 1974 Corvette Stingray,
00:56and I'm hitting every rural town in Texas and turning it all the way up.
00:59The mall, the abandoned parking lot where the malls used to be and stuff,
01:04and a lot of these small places, I'm going there and doing shows and stuff like that.
01:07And we just continue it as the summer goes on.
01:09We got new music, you know what I mean, that starts to blend some of these genres together
01:13like we already been doing, but it's got a nice Texas vibe to it, though.
01:17Okay. Yes, sir.
01:18And you do have a new song out. Yep.
01:23Let's check this out.
01:29Yes. So we're going to check it out. What's it called? Outlaws?
01:32Outlaw. Yep, Outlaw.
01:34From the up-and-coming project that we got, the Outlaw Letters.
01:37So it's the title song in it. Okay. Yes, sir.
01:53I'm an outlaw.
01:56I live life like a renegade.
01:58Black cat, goatee, black shades like a gladiator.
02:03Hard times, look what it made.
02:05I'm forever yours.
02:07Sincerely, Shondo Blades.
02:09I'm an outlaw.

02:26I live my life just like an outlaw.
02:30I break the rules like an outlaw.
02:34So I'm forever being outlaw.

02:41His daddy was an outlaw.
02:43So I'm going to be an outlaw.

02:47My daddy was an outlaw.
02:48His daddy was an outlaw.
02:50So I'm going to be an outlaw.
02:52Family full of outlaws.
02:55Daddy used to sit in his chair every night and smoke cigars.
02:59And just really talk to me about life.
03:03I remember this one day, he looked over at me.
03:06And he said, never let him see you sweat, even rattle.
03:11You got to plant your feet, a wise man.
03:14Listen twice before he ever speaks and never quit.
03:17Just keep going.
03:18We don't accept defeat and raise hell.
03:21So the world can truly see you're an outlaw.
03:25You live your life like a renegade in a black hat.
03:28Goatee and black shades, you a gladiator.
03:32Hard times, look what it made.
03:34I live through you now.
03:36My son, Shondo Blades, you're an outlaw.

03:44You break the rules like an outlaw.
03:48So you'll forever be an outlaw.
03:53Your daddy was an outlaw.
03:55His daddy was an outlaw.
03:57So you going to be an outlaw.

04:19So I'm going to be an outlaw.
04:21Family full of outlaws.
04:23I'm an outlaw.
04:24I live my life like a renegade with a black hat.
04:28Goatee and black shades like a gladiator.
04:32Hard times, look what it made.
04:34And I'm forever yours.
04:35Sincerely, Shondo Blades.
04:38I'm an outlaw.
04:39Yeah.
04:40I live my life just like an outlaw.
04:42Yeah.
04:43I break the rules like an outlaw.
04:46Yeah.
04:47So I'm forever being an outlaw.
04:50Yeah.
04:51That's bumping.
05:10You think so, man?
05:11That'll get your toe tapping right there.
05:12You think so, man?
05:13Oh, yeah.
05:14It's a toe tap.
05:15I like that.
05:16It'll get you going.
05:17I like that.
05:18That'll get you going right there.
05:19I like that.
05:20There you go.
05:21You know what I mean?
05:22Because straight up, in the song, you say, my daddy was an outlaw.
05:25His daddy was an outlaw.
05:26It just goes through the lineage.
05:27Everybody wants to be somebody that came from somebody.
05:29And that's what the song is, no matter what the color.
05:31So I'm glad it's a toe tap of Big Dog.
05:33It'll get you going, man.
05:34It'll get you going.
05:35So how many songs are you going to have on this album?
05:37This is what we're doing, man.
05:38We're doing an EP deal.
05:40We're going to have three songs on there.
05:41But they're going to be based on a cinematic vision that I got.
05:44So we got the song Outlaw, of course.
05:46We have the song Sinclair.
05:48And then I have another song called Code 45.
05:50Because to me, every man wants the three Gs.
05:53You got to have guts, right?
05:54That's where Outlaw comes from.
05:55You got to have your gun, the sidearm.
05:57That's where Code 45 comes from.
05:58That's what it was all built on.
05:59And you got to have your girl.
06:01So that's the three Gs that it's all based around.
06:03But it'll be three songs.
06:04But it'll have a short film that'll come along with it that goes
06:08and has some of the footage of the tour that we're doing,
06:10along with some of the concert stuff and then the behind the scenes.
06:13Okay.
06:14Yep.
06:15That sounds good right there.
06:16I'm excited about it.
06:18So what do you got lined up next?
06:20Where are you headed?
06:21What's on your?
06:22So the first place I'm going to be going is Atlanta, Texas.
06:24We're going to be shooting some content out there.
06:26I don't know if you're familiar with Atlanta, Texas.
06:27Right?
06:28So we'll be going to Atlanta, Texas in two weeks.
06:33Here coming up next week,
06:35we have an actual show that we're doing for the veterans.
06:38And it's going to be on Mother's Day.
06:40But we have the mothers that are veterans that are coming
06:43that will be getting free gifts.
06:45It'll be at a place called AGR Sports in Houston.
06:47It's like a paintball spot, axe throwing and all that.
06:50We'll be throwing a concert there,
06:52basically just to commemorate and show them love.
06:55So that'll be going on May 12th from 2 to 4.
06:58Okay.
06:59Excuse me, 12 to 2.
07:00So I'm excited about that too.
07:01Okay.
07:02Yep.
07:03All right.
07:04So it's getting there.
07:05It's getting there.
07:06Yeah, you're busy.
07:07Yeah.
07:08Every time I see you pop up on the internet, man,
07:09you're doing something.
07:10Come on.
07:11I see you too.
07:12I see you interviewing somebody.
07:13So come on.
07:14It inspires me to see people that I know working hard because it makes you,
07:17you know,
07:18check yourself and make sure that you're working hard enough.
07:19Yeah.
07:20So I love it, man.
07:21I love seeing you everywhere.
07:22Everywhere, big dog.
07:23And that's why I see you.
07:24I figure you got to stay busy.
07:26If you don't stay busy, what is there to do?
07:28You got to do something.
07:29You everywhere, man, from the rodeo competitions to just interviewing,
07:34like you got my man coming on from Yellowstone.
07:36I just think it's dope, man,
07:37the way your platform just covers all of it from the physical to the
07:40entertainment to a little bit of the business to music.
07:43I just think it's dope, bro.
07:44For real.
07:45You got to keep doing it.
07:46Keep doing it.
07:47Keep doing it.
07:48Keep going.
07:49Oh, man.
07:50So what is, what's your, what's your,
07:52you got to have some type of vision for the rest of this year to knock it
07:55out.
07:56So what are you looking at as far as you're going to get down there,
07:58you get that show rocking, get that thing going Mother's Day.
08:00And then I know you got something else in the works.
08:02Yeah.
08:03So we partnered with the USO for that show right there.
08:06So we got something that we're going to continue.
08:08We started it a year ago where we were hitting some of the,
08:10the military bases and we're just going to continue that.
08:12We're going to hit the prisons here in Texas.
08:14Listen, I'm going to be the Johnny Cash of today.
08:17Folsom prison style.
08:18You know what I mean?
08:19Because we're going to go there and we're going to entertain some of the
08:21people will be able to,
08:22to motivate on their journey when they get out of prison,
08:24all of that stuff, man.
08:26So we hit in the small towns, the prisons,
08:28the military bases everywhere.
08:30If it's got an open parking lot, man,
08:32you liable to see me doing donuts with a Texas flag and singing
08:35something.
08:36Yeah.
08:37All right, man.
08:38I like it.
08:39That's good.
08:40That's good stuff.
08:41But I don't know.
08:42You know, since you were here last time,
08:44popped it out there and was like, man, where, where'd I find that?
08:46Where'd I get that?
08:47Internet.
08:48Yeah.
08:49Go get it.
08:50Look it up.
08:51Yeah.
08:52And you can even, you can use it.
08:53I mean, they've got it now, you know, Instagram,
08:55TikTok, all that stuff.
08:56They can pull your stuff up.
08:57Yep.
08:58You pull it up.
08:59Don't want to go on a song and go with it.
09:00Yeah.
09:01Yeah.
09:02Like I said, it's on all outlaw right now is on all streaming platforms.
09:04So go download that, listen to that.
09:06And it's one of those things that just push you, you know,
09:08if you don't get it the first time you listen to it again, it's like, you know,
09:11if you grew up with your dad or your uncles or somebody and they kind of
09:14bestow something to put something in you that you do to this day because of
09:17them, it makes you feel that song a little bit.
09:19I know that's what it does with me, you know?
09:21So, yeah, that's, that's what it's for.
09:23It's just to inspire people.
09:24And even for the ladies out there, some of them feel like outlaws.
09:26So, you know, but I'm glad you said it's a toe tapper.
09:29I like that.
09:30I'm going to have to put that in my post tomorrow.
09:31It's a toe tapper.
09:32It's a toe tapper.
09:33You dig.
09:34Yeah.
09:35If I don't get your motor running, check your carburetor.
09:37There you go.
09:38There you go.
09:39There you go.
09:40Oh, man.
09:41What's the, what's the, your response?
09:45You know, the response has been the places that, you know,
09:47the places you've been to do the pop-ups and stuff.
09:49Yeah.
09:50Are you bringing in,
09:52is it like a lot of folks that already know who you are that's picked you up
09:55or you run across a lot of new?
09:56It's both.
09:58Some places I'll go and surprise, I won't think, see in my mind,
10:02I'm always playing the game from the ground up.
10:05So I go in like absolutely nobody knows me.
10:07And if they do, it's just a bonus.
10:09But I've gone to some areas and a lot of people, man,
10:11I'm already following you.
10:12I'm like, okay, cool.
10:13You know?
10:14And it just,
10:15it gives me even more confidence to go harder because it lets me know that
10:18the consistency is paying off and them consistently seeing a figure that's
10:22producing this type of music and living this type of lifestyle,
10:26as far as not,
10:27not necessarily trying to put a lavish lifestyle on anybody,
10:30but a lifestyle of a man that's taking his destiny in his own hands and
10:34other people can relate to that.
10:35And they are when I see them out on the road.
10:37Yeah.
10:38Let me ask you this.
10:39I got a good one for you.
10:40I got a good one for you.
10:41You got,
10:42you got a little,
10:43you know,
10:44a little fighting background.
10:45What are your thoughts on this deal now?
10:48It's coming,
10:49it's coming up.
10:50Okay.
10:51AT&T stadium.
10:52Tyson's come out of retirement for the YouTube boy.
10:54Yeah.
10:55Yeah.
10:56What do you think about that?
10:57I think Tyson will knock him out.
10:58I think so too,
10:59but I think it's two things that's going on there.
11:00You have a guy in Jake Paul who's wanting to become somebody.
11:03And it's like,
11:04when you think about it,
11:05his fights are more for the entertainment value.
11:07So it doesn't really do him any good to pick a guy that may be undefeated,
11:10but nobody knows about.
11:11So everybody that's talking about,
11:13he needs,
11:14it's like the business of it is fight somebody.
11:16Other people know.
11:17So they buy pay-per-views flatline basic,
11:19right?
11:20For a guy like Mike Tyson,
11:21what I think is so intriguing about it is the fact that he's up in age to
11:25other people,
11:26but the man you've trained for competitions before.
11:29You know,
11:30the type of mental state that puts you in,
11:32you feel sharp,
11:33you feel focused,
11:34you have to be disciplined.
11:35So I think a guy like that,
11:37he needs this.
11:38He needs something that's going to make him be a certain way.
11:42Cause when you saw him at the best,
11:44he was in his life.
11:45Somebody was his trainer and saying,
11:47you have to show up.
11:48You have to do this.
11:49When life wasn't like that,
11:50you saw him balloon up to 300 pounds.
11:52So no matter what happens,
11:54this is a man on a journey on a quest.
11:56And I love to see it,
11:57man.
11:58If he can get in there and knock his screws loose,
12:00that'll be dope too.
12:01Cause this is Iron Mike we talking about,
12:03you know?
12:04And you,
12:05and the thing about that thing about this fight is this is like a,
12:08it's going to be like a generational audience because you got,
12:11you got guys like us,
12:12you know,
12:13older guys that followed my forever.
12:15And then you got all these,
12:16all these new,
12:17you know,
12:18new,
12:19new generation of people that follow the YouTube crowd that,
12:22that they weren't around when he was fighting.
12:24So they didn't really get the experience.
12:26Yeah.
12:27So what I'm going to do is like from a business standpoint,
12:29cause I always,
12:30I try to come from there first,
12:31just because that's what makes the most sense.
12:34People don't get why things happen,
12:35but it's like the business first.
12:37And then when you think about it second,
12:38so I honestly think it's going to do a great things for both people.
12:43It's going to open Mike up to a whole new generation of people also.
12:46Cause I don't know if you've seen his podcast and things that he has,
12:49but that's opened them up to a younger generation of people.
12:52So this fight is going to do the same.
12:54So win or lose.
12:55I think both of them come out on top.
12:57I don't,
12:58I don't necessarily think it's the blood bath that most people are,
13:01are thinking,
13:02you know what I mean?
13:03But because of the power from both people,
13:05honestly,
13:06the likelihood that somebody is going to get knocked out is probably,
13:09I put it 50,
13:1060%,
13:11somebody going to bed,
13:12you know,
13:13but who that's going to be.
13:14Right.
13:15Cause you can't count out Iron Michael.
13:17Have you seen the video,
13:18his training videos?
13:19Man,
13:20listen,
13:21Mike Tyson is a,
13:22is a twitchy athlete,
13:24right?
13:25And a twitchy athlete is a sprinter is a,
13:27is a person that just does things in bursts.
13:29If he catches you in a burst,
13:33that's like being,
13:35being in the eye of the hurricane or something like that.
13:38If you out,
13:39you may experience strong winds.
13:40He may throw something down on you,
13:42but if you,
13:43if he is able to generate a burst,
13:46I don't know if that's something that anybody can really just stand there and
13:50take.
13:51Yeah.
13:52Being honest with you.
13:53Cause the way he throws those punches,
13:54the way I've seen some old school guys in the gym,
13:58hurt people,
13:59hurt people because they've been there before.
14:02They've done it.
14:03The pressure is in the same form.
14:04If you think about Mike Tyson,
14:05it's almost like some people think he's got something to lose,
14:09but I don't.
14:10What else is he going to do?
14:11Yeah.
14:12What you want them to do?
14:13They're like,
14:14his health is listen,
14:15this man is a gladiator.
14:16Yeah.
14:17He will die.
14:18A gladiator.
14:19I don't necessarily care if I see Mike Tyson,
14:2190 years old and decrepit and can't walk before he passes away.
14:25He may,
14:26he may go earlier than that,
14:27but what if he wins this fight?
14:28What a hell of a way to go out,
14:29right?
14:30Yeah.
14:31I'm just saying,
14:32man,
14:33that's how I think about it.
14:34Yeah.
14:35I don't know.
14:36I think,
14:37I think it's going to be good.
14:38I think it's going to be good.
14:39Good.
14:40It's going to be better than what people think,
14:41or it may be worse than what they think,
14:42but guess what?
14:43You're going to be tuned in.
14:44Oh yeah.
14:45And that's the fight business.
14:46That's it.
14:47That pay per view.
14:48I make that money.
14:49I've seen guys that are amazing,
14:50but who cares if you 55 and old,
14:51but nobody really knows who you are.
14:53This is the fight business.
14:55And it's really business fight,
14:56to be honest,
14:57when you're thinking about how fights go.
14:59So it makes sense.
15:00Who else is out there?
15:01Who else out there is for Mike,
15:02for Mike Tyson,
15:03a fight that doesn't have brain damage,
15:04you know what I mean?
15:05Or something crazy.
15:06Yeah.
15:07You can't really fight anybody that's his age.
15:09Cause a lot of guys his age aren't staying as active as Mike.
15:11So,
15:12and I think it's because he's got that podcast.
15:15He's around younger people,
15:16which got them feeling like a spry chicken.
15:18Plus Mike's smoking that good now.
15:19You know that?
15:20Yeah.
15:21That good keep you feeling good.
15:22You understand?
15:23So that's where Mike is at with it.
15:24Oh,
15:25man.
15:26Yeah.
15:27It's right down the road,
15:28right down the road here.
15:29You know,
15:30Jerry Jones is going to jump on that.
15:31He ain't missing out on that.
15:33Listen,
15:34man,
15:35you see this Texas flag on my chest,
15:36man.
15:37It's something about Texas.
15:38Just it.
15:39Texas just,
15:40when stuff comes to Texas,
15:41it automatically is bigger.
15:42Yeah.
15:43Vegas is a dope place.
15:44All of that.
15:45We know Vegas for entertainment.
15:46Texas is big.

15:49You're going to have a lot of people flying into DFW airport.

15:54It's going to be a great event for Texas period,
15:55especially the city of Dallas.
15:56It's going to be a major.
15:57What,
15:58what I think is interesting is when big events come to cities,
15:59the influx of capital in hotels,
16:00in the food spots,
16:01everybody's going to appreciate that,
16:02man.
