I love it. That's a group for sure.
He's a rocket scientist.
He's also like the most extreme guy you're going to meet. He is a genius, and he is also called Uncle Mental when he does his bike races. The dude rode his mountain bike through the Iditarod Trail in Alaska. Wow.
So for the playoffs, I work both sides. So I'll go to the opposing... They're not going to get away from me in the playoffs. I'm going to heckle you for the full 48 minutes.
Yep. And so I run down the stairs. I give them the... I get the belly shakes going on. Whatever I can do to get their attention. And then once they lock... eyes with me that's when i know i have them if i can get them to smirk laugh take a second to squint to see what the hell are they looking at Next thing you know, they're missing a free throw.
And that one missed free throw could change the game. It can change the world. Now, does this happen very often? No. There's a small percentage chance. But the fact that there's a chance that I can impact a game, I'm going to take that and run with it.
Yeah. Damian Wilkins, former Thunder player, was playing for the Hawks on New Year's Eve. I had like glitter, firework, paint jobs on my moves. I had a ball that I would drop up and down during the free throws. Damian Wilkins straight up doubles over in laughter. And the very next free throw, he misses. Oh, love it.
Earlier, probably the most recent one that I've gotten to is Paulo Banqueiro because I had like a Czech versus Paulo paint job going on. And you see him kind of lean forward trying to read the belly. And then he's like, oh, okay. And then he goes to shoot the free throw. Miss. I think you guys referenced it during one of your podcasts. Chris Kamen was the first person I ever heckled. I was 22.
I was nervous. It was my first time being Thundor, and I did not stop. I heckled him when he was on the bench. I heckled him when he was shooting free throws. He threw a towel over his head. You know, I was calling him Chris Caveman. That's probably like the most personal attack I've ever given somebody. That's a personal attack. I try to keep it PG.
You know, I try to do just more of the sounds, getting the attention, doing the distractions. But, you know, my apologies, Chris Caveman, for all the missed free throws that you may have experienced. Kudos to you for being an NBA player.
Okay, here's the problem, guys. I'll be honest. We've tried doing choreographed dancing because Nazi is a dancer. I am not. So that's not out there. I'll lose the movement. I'll forget what I'm doing. But the finals, I do have a secret weapon. His name is Chase Dryden. And he is one of the best belly artists known to man. He is awesome.
And so actually, the Firehouse Art Gallery in Norman, Oklahoma, they actually did an art show that was called uh thundor the the art of chase dryden and so we had all of these belly arts that chase had done and they had them mounted all along the wall and it was it was a really cool experience yeah i don't know that indiana or new york can prepare for this I know.
I look forward, I would like to welcome any Indiana or New York Knicks fans to come to Oklahoma City. Come hang out with us. Let's be friendly. I want to win, sure, but I want to meet some others. I know I'm not the only weirdo out there. I welcome your weird. Come get weird with me. Let's live our weird together while we cheer on our teams.
And I saw the ad as well. I luckily had bought a $5 knockoff Nacho Libre costume just days earlier before the season started. So after that very first game, by the next game, I'm getting all thundered up. I took that jumpsuit. I had my friend who I'm friends with a lot of artists. I went to a university called USAO, the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma.
And so I'm just around all these gifted artists. So I had my friend make like a logo on the chest piece. Another one of my friends who was a cheerleader, I took his megaphone, I wrapped it up and blew an orange tape. And then I just went and got wild and crazy.
And now, you know, being Thundor, getting my belly painted pretty regularly, it's just my way to kind of give back, to support local artists, put themselves out there, get their names out there. Again, Chase Dryden, great tattoo artist, great artist, great friend.
So absolutely. So I've been wanting to go to all the other arenas and meet all their super fans. Now, I'm not made of money, so that's really hard to get to do. But I did have Spurs Jesus reached out to me in San Antonio. And so during rivalry week last year, I got to go out there. We got to, you know, shoot the shit, hang out, have a great time. He did my belly paint for the game.
And we just went and had ourselves a really good time. Thunder, of course, won, so that made it that much sweeter. But it was still – he's a friend now who, when the Thunder won the game last night, you know, he's one of the first people texting me saying, you know, congrats, big man, on going to the finals.
So I dig that. I love that. And that's why I welcome, you know, whether it's the Pacers or the Knicks, come on, super fans, let's come hang out. Let's kick it in Oklahoma. I'll go to your place. We'll have a good time. Let's do this.
We're winning, Big Cat. We're winning. So whatever shirt he wants to wear, whether he wants to wear a tutu, whether he wants to come in his birthday suit, I don't care as long as the Thunder are winning. But I will say, the way I fan up, Isn't the way you're going to fan up. Isn't the way Juan's going to fan up. We can all fan in our own ways.
