Speaker 1: Welcome to the Greatest, a production of My Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Welcome to another episode of the Greatest. In the beginning,
Speaker 1: I was calling I was saying the quarantine edition. But
Speaker 1: this is just this is what life is, our existence.
Speaker 1: And the voice, the other voice you're hearing is my
Speaker 1: wife and co host, Megan Gaily. Hey, everybody that was
Speaker 1: kind of that was really soft and nice. Thank you.
Speaker 1: I have range range, So what's the other part of that?
Speaker 1: What's the other end of that range? You've seen it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not good. We are currently in our laundry nook,
Speaker 1: and I think you know this has been so far
Speaker 1: the winner of locations of where we record the podcast,
Speaker 1: right next to the washer and dryer. Things are good.
Speaker 1: It's a sunny what it was today. Gosh, I'm really quiet.
Speaker 1: I gotta ramp it up. Well, I just drink a
Speaker 1: lot of coffee, okay, Yeah, and I've had I've had nothing.
Speaker 1: I read Twitter. I asked you right before this if
Speaker 1: we had any granola bars, and you snapped at me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm very on edge right now and on the phone.
Speaker 1: Our guest host of a very very popular NBA podcast,
Speaker 1: Count the Dings. I think it's it's called the Daily
Speaker 1: Ding on the Athletic Ladies and Gentlemen nits blow Stein.
Speaker 1: What's up? Well, you know, as much as I love that,
Speaker 1: not the host unfortunately, because I'm not good enough yet.
Speaker 1: But other than that, um, nothing, just chilling. I have
Speaker 1: a question about this laundry nook though. Yeah, are you
Speaker 1: guys just in the corner next to your washer dryer? Um? Yes,
Speaker 1: so the washer and dryer. I actually am seated at
Speaker 1: like a very peculiar angle so I can even fit
Speaker 1: in it. Um, So I'm smashed between the door, the dryer,
Speaker 1: and then the table that all of the equipment is
Speaker 1: set up on. Now, can I ask how this decision
Speaker 1: came to be? Yes, So we used to have it
Speaker 1: in this front room of our how that is kind
Speaker 1: of a no man's land that has a liquor car
Speaker 1: and our peloton um and that's it. So we were
Speaker 1: like yeah, so we were like, let's we'll put it
Speaker 1: in there. Unfortunately, that's right by our front door. C
Speaker 1: J buy seventy five things a day, and so our
Speaker 1: front door is the most popping place in Northeast Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: And then, to add insult to injury, are across the
Speaker 1: street neighbor who boy, he owns four motorcycles, all of
Speaker 1: them have never been driven, but he revs them seventeen
Speaker 1: times a day. And he said hello to us as
Speaker 1: we went on our walk this morning. I don't even
Speaker 1: know if that was him. Like I came into this street,
Speaker 1: like you know, I'm like, hi, I want to talk
Speaker 1: to everybody. I'm friends with the um old lady neighbor
Speaker 1: next door, checking on her arm how it's doing. So
Speaker 1: I'm here to make I'm here to make friends. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to, like, you know, be a part of the street,
Speaker 1: and no one wants to be my friend. Unfortunately him included.
Speaker 1: So that's why I think that was like a worker
Speaker 1: or that didn't. His energy is like get the funk
Speaker 1: away from me. I own so many bad automobiles and cars.
Speaker 1: He owns multiple cars that he's moving around. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: he has like teal, I don't want to vintage because
Speaker 1: that's just cold old old Mercedes that we don't know
Speaker 1: feel old Mercedes. And he just doesn't drive them anywhere.
Speaker 1: He chills, makes them noisy, Yeah, he makes sure they're
Speaker 1: super noisy. And then also when our neighbor's house was
Speaker 1: for sale, they were just like or he was just like,
Speaker 1: you know what, that's my parking spot, their driveway as
Speaker 1: much I forgot he parked someone else's driveway, and it
Speaker 1: was like, he's doing all these things, and you know,
Speaker 1: this is what we're confronted with. Unfortunately, he's doing all
Speaker 1: these things that like there is no one to report
Speaker 1: him too. There is a motorcycle just parked on the sidewalk,
Speaker 1: and it's like, I know that that's not allowed, but
Speaker 1: there is no one to be in charge. Did you
Speaker 1: hit record? I got so scared for a second. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we would have missed all the motorcycle laundry context. You're
Speaker 1: just like isolated that well screwed up man? Am I
Speaker 1: allowed to say that? Yeah? Also on the podcast or
Speaker 1: on a zoom comedy show, and he started revving and
Speaker 1: I wished his motorcycle to give him corona so to
Speaker 1: say screw him. And I've since taken it back. I
Speaker 1: don't want him to have corona because he seems not
Speaker 1: in great health. But you can say whatever you want,
Speaker 1: But how how are you doing? How is your set
Speaker 1: your quarantine set up? How are you dealing with the
Speaker 1: lack of sports? What's going on over there? Um, well,
Speaker 1: I'm doing great in general. You know, everything happened and
Speaker 1: I'm still so privileged to have food and shelter, etcetera, etcetera.
Speaker 1: So I've been keeping everything in perspective and trying to
Speaker 1: put my energy into helping people who are less fortunate
Speaker 1: during the time, which, if you guys, let me plug that.
Speaker 1: At one point I was gonna say, you're doing such
Speaker 1: an amazing thing to help. Oh, thank you so much.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm so like you know, I started it
Speaker 1: and I can explain it in a second. I had
Speaker 1: no idea if people if it would resonate with anybody,
Speaker 1: because I know that sometimes I have a great idea
Speaker 1: in my head it's like a tweet or something, and
Speaker 1: then nobody else will get it. So I didn't know
Speaker 1: if that was gonna be another one of those things.
Speaker 1: But um, you know, the premise is simple. We have
Speaker 1: a lot of things we want, we don't need them
Speaker 1: right now. Other communities have actual needs like food, medicine, shelter, etcetera.
Speaker 1: That so if we all gather up all these little wants,
Speaker 1: you know, anywhere from like five dollars for coffee that
Speaker 1: you don't get or Clark thank God didn't buy a
Speaker 1: second air fryer, which is like, it makes no sense
Speaker 1: to me because we already don't have place for the
Speaker 1: second one. We already don't have space for the first one.
Speaker 1: So you know, it adds up. And then we're supporting
Speaker 1: these five organizations doing amazing on the ground in their
Speaker 1: communities so that our wants can go to their actual needs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you, So that's that. That's really what I've been
Speaker 1: putting my energy into. And we rewatched two thousand one
Speaker 1: finals the other day, but you know, not a lot
Speaker 1: of sports going on, so not much I could do there. Now,
Speaker 1: what would you do with a second air fryer? I
Speaker 1: knew we were going to roast Clark, by the way,
Speaker 1: so we're former former guest dear friends UM and partner
Speaker 1: lover of current. I heard that pause to be like,
Speaker 1: how do you define him to Clarks my boyfriend? But
Speaker 1: UM like buys way too much ship but he I
Speaker 1: don't know what you would do with a second air
Speaker 1: fire My only guess is that he would do one
Speaker 1: flavor of wing than one and a different flavor of other.
Speaker 1: Maybe she thinks for sure we we got an air frier.
Speaker 1: Someone mom TJ. Mom gave it to us as a
Speaker 1: wedding present, and it was one of those things where
Speaker 1: like people would get drunk and come up to me
Speaker 1: and be like, you gotta get a air friar. Got
Speaker 1: like it became like they just once people knew I
Speaker 1: was getting married, there like gott to get someone to
Speaker 1: get you an air friar, Like I if there was
Speaker 1: a SA relationship, just like people are really they're really
Speaker 1: into their air flyers. Like if I talked about an
Speaker 1: air fire negatively online or in a group, the vitriol
Speaker 1: I get for it and it's really just it's really
Speaker 1: just an oven? Do people know that? Well? Is it so?
Speaker 1: And I never really got final confirmation on this, But
Speaker 1: isn't an oven that won't like you can like walk
Speaker 1: away from it and it won't set your house on fire?
Speaker 1: Or is it? Like I think it does everything faster faster,
Speaker 1: but it does. There is part of me that's like
Speaker 1: did we all just really buy into an infomercial like
Speaker 1: it is it is sham wowesque level of course, like
Speaker 1: forming Gril where it is like we're like it's still
Speaker 1: but are the advertising something? But it's like legit works?
Speaker 1: And is I have offered to bring our air fryer
Speaker 1: on like vacation, Like we we got like a house
Speaker 1: with other couples and I was like, do you want
Speaker 1: me to bring the air fryer because I was like,
Speaker 1: you know, we'll be at the pool and this can
Speaker 1: make pool snacks. And it's like when no, you can't
Speaker 1: bring an air fryer with you. That's so funny. But
Speaker 1: people get really into it like that. And you know what,
Speaker 1: like if people are cooking healthier because you have this
Speaker 1: air fire, then well CJ is putting pizza rolls in it.
Speaker 1: So it's like, yeah, I get like, you're not frying it,
Speaker 1: but we don't have a fryer. Like you either baked
Speaker 1: the pizza rolls or you air fry them. They're still Honestly,
Speaker 1: the other night, I was like I miss baking them,
Speaker 1: so I baked them or I microwaved them. You know
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Wow, c J. That's so back
Speaker 1: to that's like camping for you. That's cute. Anyways, uh
Speaker 1: So today's topic. First of all, we we know you.
Speaker 1: I think our first sort of introduction was that you're
Speaker 1: you're like big on NBA Twitter, You're one of the
Speaker 1: you know, biggest voices on there. Um. And then you're
Speaker 1: also like comedy adjacent now like we we saw it
Speaker 1: before Quarantine, like you were you would hang out and
Speaker 1: you now do like Faded and some of these other shows. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with stand up comedy. So when I moved,
Speaker 1: you know what I love about l A, especially because
Speaker 1: maybe you see it in New York, but not as
Speaker 1: much as the basketball media community and the comedy community
Speaker 1: feel like one thing. Yeah right, it's not so like
Speaker 1: New York. I don't think. Yeah, because when I was
Speaker 1: going to stand up clubs in New York just to
Speaker 1: chill and look at people being way funnier than me,
Speaker 1: I didn't get that sense. But then as soon as
Speaker 1: I moved to l A, I think, like first week, um,
Speaker 1: I think it might have been Zach Harper who was like, well,
Speaker 1: did you know about on Deck? So I went to
Speaker 1: on Deck. I met all the people there, you know,
Speaker 1: Malloy and all those guys are just the friendliest, friendly,
Speaker 1: like deep down friendliest people on the planet. And then
Speaker 1: Fade it happened, and then everyone's just one big community.
Speaker 1: So I'm not a stand up comedian, but anyway, I'm
Speaker 1: not as funny as you guys, But I love it.
Speaker 1: If that makes sense. We need more news. So never
Speaker 1: like like I love going to comedy shows. I'm like,
Speaker 1: that's you have the most perfect mental illness for illness
Speaker 1: we are. When I first started going to stand up
Speaker 1: clubs in New York and meeting comedians, the first thing
Speaker 1: they all told me was like, don't you they're trying
Speaker 1: to become a comic well on the road, I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to laugh and like get really fucked
Speaker 1: up while you tell a joke, like relax. It is like,
Speaker 1: if anything, it is just a central location for people
Speaker 1: to drink and maybe say some stuff. And I think
Speaker 1: that's what the NBA media community and the comedy community
Speaker 1: have in common, is that we will say something, we'll
Speaker 1: we'll fire off some takes um or debate and discuss,
Speaker 1: and then you know, we'll drink and maybe smoke some
Speaker 1: weeds somewhere. Yeah, I would have to say the l
Speaker 1: a basketball if Like, my theory is the comedians play
Speaker 1: basketball a lot more out here than they do in
Speaker 1: New York. They do play in New York, but I
Speaker 1: do think there's a lot more I think attempt to
Speaker 1: play there's a lot more comedians playing out here. I
Speaker 1: also think the fact that the biggest superstars are all
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles right now. Lebron, Kyrie, I mean not Kyrie, Wow, sorry,
Speaker 1: looked at me, was like, c J, this is how
Speaker 1: I tell you. Kyrie is at our house, you know, Lebron, Kai,
Speaker 1: Paul George. Like the Lakers and the Clippers are too
Speaker 1: many people, the two biggest teams in the n b
Speaker 1: A and the Knicks are a full blown disaster, and
Speaker 1: the and the Nets are maybe gonna be okay. Like
Speaker 1: it's just l A is just a much more basketball
Speaker 1: town right now because it's positive and happy and there's
Speaker 1: sunshine so you can be outside and and be into it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I guess I never even because in Chicago
Speaker 1: we would be it was basketball, but it was all
Speaker 1: bull centric. Like out here, you can have front I
Speaker 1: have a you know Tom ta Car he's out here.
Speaker 1: He loves the Pacers, like you can find a lot
Speaker 1: of the l A I mean, and also New York
Speaker 1: I guess, but a lot of transplants here. A lot
Speaker 1: of people from East coast to mid West who wanted
Speaker 1: to just simply get away from that weather and kind
Speaker 1: of you know, this is a city where you can
Speaker 1: kind of do it all. I feel like, uh, not
Speaker 1: to shoot on New York in anyway, but you hate
Speaker 1: New York. New York. I like living there, but it
Speaker 1: was just a weird time in my life. I think
Speaker 1: CJ just needs a lot of comfort. Um, And that's
Speaker 1: just not that's not what. That's not what New York
Speaker 1: kixcels at. It's who's you? Who are your teams? Mine? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm a Warriors fan, but it's legal now because so
Speaker 1: I'm from the Bay Area, so I'm like allowed, allowed, right.
Speaker 1: My dad's a fan, so I grew up with them.
Speaker 1: But um, now nobody like questions me on it anymore.
Speaker 1: I used to go on podcasts be like I'm a
Speaker 1: Warriors fan, Like oh no, nor yeah, like what did
Speaker 1: they do in like nineteen seventy I'm like, shut up.
Speaker 1: But now it's cool because I suck. So no, he
Speaker 1: gives a ship. But you guys are what pacers and bulls.
Speaker 1: CJ is a lebron fan, Okay, you travel. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: a very nice way to put it. He has no
Speaker 1: loyalty and it's um as his lifelong partner in life.
Speaker 1: It's definitely something that flashes in my brain a lot.
Speaker 1: That's hilarious. You know, Okay, wait, who is because you
Speaker 1: mentioned this, who's the best basketball player in the comedy scene?
Speaker 1: You know, I mean Griffin? Oh he is doing stand
Speaker 1: up and mean, yeah, Blake, I don't know you mean
Speaker 1: you mean people not in the NBA, got it? So
Speaker 1: people who make their money through comedy. Yet he I
Speaker 1: wouldn't consider him a part of like like the stand
Speaker 1: up scene out here in l A. But do you
Speaker 1: know John Reynolds. He's like on Search Party and Four
Speaker 1: Weddings in the Funeral. If you saw him, you would
Speaker 1: be like, yes, I know who that is. Like that
Speaker 1: sounds so familiar about a true rising star star. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he he has like these bit parts and shows. He
Speaker 1: lives in New York, but he is like Dirk Nowitzki
Speaker 1: and I can't and like I don't know if it
Speaker 1: was I knew me just like a goofy kid. He's
Speaker 1: like a few years longer than us. And I started
Speaker 1: playing basketball with him when I was in New York
Speaker 1: and he is so good. And I don't know Whenny
Speaker 1: practices or or if you even practice, but he's so
Speaker 1: good at basketball. Damn are you guys good? I am terrible,
Speaker 1: very very very bad, and c J is good. I'm
Speaker 1: like okay, or like it depends on the game and
Speaker 1: you can get all you know, confirmation from Clark. But
Speaker 1: like I would say, like me and Kenny DeForest are
Speaker 1: as good as each other. Okay, Yeah, I think, and
Speaker 1: you know what, I can hang with with Kenny and Weaver.
Speaker 1: Weavers like better better than me. But I've had games
Speaker 1: where I've Aaron Weaver. I've had games where I've like
Speaker 1: we've gone one on one head to head. Now when
Speaker 1: people because it comes up a lot of times in
Speaker 1: professional meetings U and then that I'm meeting with her
Speaker 1: like oh yeah, I play basketball with c J. And
Speaker 1: they're like yeah. A lot of they don't say contact.
Speaker 1: They say it like a little kinder, but they're like
Speaker 1: pretty pretty physical. So it seems like you're like Bill
Speaker 1: Lamb running into people. I think, yeah, if anything that
Speaker 1: they mean clumsy, No, I don't think I'm clumsy, but
Speaker 1: I love to like put a little uh fancy touch
Speaker 1: on my shots. Yeah. So are you more Za Petulia
Speaker 1: contact or Russell Westbrook? Yeah, I would say I would
Speaker 1: say Westbrook, but maybe because I dress more like Westbrook.
Speaker 1: Then I also just I'm not going to shoot on
Speaker 1: myself right now, so I'm gonna say more Westbrook. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're a total guy, You're a total Thank you for
Speaker 1: giving those choices. Please please aggregate it that CJ thinks
Speaker 1: he plays exactly like, Yeah, I can't wait for Kenny
Speaker 1: and Aaron to here. This would be like thought, fuck,
Speaker 1: you're as been as um. But that's kind of Westbrook
Speaker 1: is kind of a nice transition into our topic that
Speaker 1: we have yet to announce what we're doing here. But
Speaker 1: the greatest topic that we're going to talk about today
Speaker 1: with units is greatest fashion, uh statements and yeah, greatest statements,
Speaker 1: greatest fashion moments in sports. We've done greatest dresser, Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: and we've done greatest uniform. And this kind of feels
Speaker 1: like a step child of both of them because we're
Speaker 1: taking just a snapshot of what an athlete or a
Speaker 1: team or anybody was wearing on any given day that
Speaker 1: is just iconic in our minds UK that obviously c
Speaker 1: J was like, yes, immediately, I just called himself Russell Westbrooks.
Speaker 1: So a lot of you know what, there's so many
Speaker 1: Westbrook iconic moments, but he's actually a good dresser. I
Speaker 1: picked I picked ones that you could like make fun of,
Speaker 1: but they're still iconic. Okay, do you want to lead
Speaker 1: us off with your number three? Hell? Yeah, Okay, wait,
Speaker 1: let me open my notes. I know one though I
Speaker 1: have so many Google docs have just very strange things. Now, um,
Speaker 1: impertaining to this podcast. No, you're I Um, I have
Speaker 1: one tab open, which Clark told me to make sure
Speaker 1: that I looked up the Pacers. Um, I'm not gonna say.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say because he said you're for sure
Speaker 1: gonna pick it, I'm not right, I'm not No, I
Speaker 1: was actually gonna say, I think this is a topic.
Speaker 1: And I love when there's topics like this where the
Speaker 1: three of us will have zero overlap. Oh okay, let's see.
Speaker 1: Let's see. So first one tell me through overlap with
Speaker 1: it is the Calves matching suits in the series against
Speaker 1: the Pacers when they all showed up til Tom Brown. No, No,
Speaker 1: I think it's Tom Brown. Tom Brown. Ye. Tom Brown
Speaker 1: is like a man who sells insurance in my parents
Speaker 1: and he also made these famous suits for the Calves. Okay,
Speaker 1: I just when I hear Tom and suits I'm going
Speaker 1: Tom four. I love that will give us some context
Speaker 1: to that moment. So the context I thought it was
Speaker 1: gonna be was that the Calves all showed up in
Speaker 1: matching suits, which Lebron obviously made them all where this
Speaker 1: was they were going up against the Warriors. This team
Speaker 1: sucked all year, Like this was the year where we
Speaker 1: really thought like their defense was so bad, their office
Speaker 1: wasn't really that good, like the Raptors or the Celtics
Speaker 1: were going to take it. But no, obviously the you know,
Speaker 1: they ended up going to the finals, as they do
Speaker 1: with Lebron. But I remembered this being like, this is
Speaker 1: such a dramatic move. I thought they all strowed up
Speaker 1: in matching suits to like the semifinals or the Eastern
Speaker 1: Conference finals or something dramatic like that. This was round
Speaker 1: one against the Pacers that they did it in, which
Speaker 1: fucking yeah, I mean, you're heals me, You're you're in
Speaker 1: INDI two. It's like you could have all gotten men's
Speaker 1: warehouse suits and then the hottest crew of men to
Speaker 1: walk through the three one seven, that's our that's our area.
Speaker 1: Else I was trying to I was trying to like
Speaker 1: go into the brain Bank and like three one seven.
Speaker 1: Hell yet know I try and make so many different Indianapolis. Um.
Speaker 1: A friend of the pod calls it three one Heaven, Naptown,
Speaker 1: Knaptown Riders. None of them catch on because no one cares. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just trying to figure out, so that series.
Speaker 1: Is this a series where you got mad at me,
Speaker 1: Megan when I was at the combine and I was
Speaker 1: watching and they hit the they hit the Lebron at
Speaker 1: the game winner? No, No, that was this is the
Speaker 1: year after. I feel like I know that must have been.
Speaker 1: That had to be that year because he didn't even
Speaker 1: make the playoffs, and you're recalling that I got mad
Speaker 1: at you. This was the year before or something like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because we were on the phone, I was like, they
Speaker 1: had they hit or Lebron hit the game winner. I
Speaker 1: do get I mean, I do take those things out
Speaker 1: on you. So maybe it does sound um because you're
Speaker 1: like a hardcore Pacers ran right when they were going
Speaker 1: out them. Yeah, and that one seven games that you
Speaker 1: know you guys could have taken him down. Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm reading now to they got um fitted by a
Speaker 1: tailor in Cleveland ahead of time. I would love to
Speaker 1: see a tailor in Cleveland, Like, who what's that guy
Speaker 1: up to? Like, all these dudes walk in your set
Speaker 1: for like a year. These are tall men. That's a
Speaker 1: lot too. It is. The man's name is Tom Brown,
Speaker 1: but it's spelled it has an E T H O
Speaker 1: M b R O w n E. He has two
Speaker 1: extra letters. Yeah, okay, so he's he's allowed to be
Speaker 1: a suit Taylor. That's a great pick. I mean I
Speaker 1: have a lot of Lebron moments, but that, yeah, he
Speaker 1: was getting a little extra with these suits, and then
Speaker 1: it then morphed into the shorts. I think, and I
Speaker 1: feel like yet, like some of these players don't dress
Speaker 1: the same way that Lebron does, Like was Dellavedova into that?
Speaker 1: Like Larry Nance looks so he looks like a boy
Speaker 1: leaving prep school, angry, Like it's so funny to see
Speaker 1: them care. It's like, yeah, they It's kind of Lebron
Speaker 1: being like, hey, you guys look like trash to Georgia
Speaker 1: looks good. You know what do you think Lebrons forced them?
Speaker 1: Do you think or Lebron was like, nah, we're going
Speaker 1: to wear these suits. Fam. I bet they were just
Speaker 1: I bet Lebron was like, listen, I'm gonna buy you
Speaker 1: guys suits and they were probably like sick. Hell yeah.
Speaker 1: And then they got them and we're like, oh, there's
Speaker 1: like a sweater sweater. Not only that, he was like,
Speaker 1: we're all going to show up matching for the first round,
Speaker 1: which ultimately went seven games. Yeah, I recommend looking into
Speaker 1: pictures because like, and this is like something that people
Speaker 1: tell me a lot, is that everything looks good on
Speaker 1: Lebron because he's Lebron, He's in shape, he's and then like,
Speaker 1: because I don't know if the suit is like fitting
Speaker 1: for Jr. It looks a little like too much, and
Speaker 1: like the short, I mean the pants are a little short. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is totally like I feel like some of the
Speaker 1: guys are like, hey, I don't really dig this suit.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why I went seven. So it was also terrible.
Speaker 1: That's why I went seven. Wasn't it like a terrible color.
Speaker 1: It's just you know, it's just kind of like a
Speaker 1: it's they look like groomsmanten to be honest, fortunately, and
Speaker 1: it's like yeallow Brown, you're hot. You've got this cool
Speaker 1: weekender bag, You've got like these fun pseudo like Doc
Speaker 1: Martins on and you just look cooler than them. Larry
Speaker 1: Nance looks looks upset. He looks so upset, and he's
Speaker 1: got AirPods in, and Lebron's got like cool ass platinum
Speaker 1: like every Larry Nance. It's just like if it was
Speaker 1: a who were Better in US Weekly, it would be
Speaker 1: like one percent Larry Nance Lebron. Yeah, and maybe that
Speaker 1: was part of Lebron's thing. He's like, oh yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: everybody's hot, everybody's got fashioned. Let's all wear the same thing,
Speaker 1: and you can see what a badass stud I am.
Speaker 1: Uh you know. You know what, though, that reminds me
Speaker 1: of your guys wedding that was just written about. You
Speaker 1: didn't even make your bridesmaid to do this. No, no, right,
Speaker 1: Like the bride wants to look the best, so she
Speaker 1: makes all the bridesmaids wear some I'm like, shitty ess
Speaker 1: one uniform thing. You don't even make them do that? No,
Speaker 1: I just said pink anything pain because it's like dresses
Speaker 1: sit different. Yeah, of course, And I just want you
Speaker 1: want everyone to be in what they're gonna feel good in.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I just we're grown. For me to tell
Speaker 1: other grown women is crazy to me my maid of
Speaker 1: honor were jumps suit, you know, like there were people
Speaker 1: in short, there were people in long. It was I'm
Speaker 1: a genius. You know what, now that you bring it up,
Speaker 1: I'm a fucking genius. Thank you. Oh wow. Okay, So
Speaker 1: my first one is, you know, this week has been heavy,
Speaker 1: and I know this will come out on Tuesday. We're
Speaker 1: recording this on Thursday four and so I hope next
Speaker 1: week is less heavy. But as I was preparing for this,
Speaker 1: I this was rattling around in my brain and then
Speaker 1: s was like, I'm not picking and I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick it because I do think it's really
Speaker 1: really important. And that's December eight, two fourteen, when Lebron
Speaker 1: and other Calves players and some Nets players wore shirts
Speaker 1: during warm up that said I can't breathe. This was
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn where Eric Gardner was murdered by while in
Speaker 1: police custody. And now this has become sadly more relevant
Speaker 1: again with George Floyd's death. Lebron tweeted an instagrammed a
Speaker 1: picture of the shirt again because it's the same thing
Speaker 1: that he was saying. And then I have a quote
Speaker 1: from Obama about them wearing the shirt that I just
Speaker 1: want to read because I think it sums up kind
Speaker 1: of how we feel when we see athletes doing something
Speaker 1: with such like activism and and just such grace and
Speaker 1: power and trying to speak to terrible atrocities that are happening.
Speaker 1: And Obama said, I think Lebron did the right thing.
Speaker 1: We forget the role that Muhammad Ali Arthur Ashe and
Speaker 1: Bill Russell played in raising consciousness. We went through a
Speaker 1: long stretch there with well paid athletes. The notion was
Speaker 1: just be quiet and get your endorsements and don't make waves.
Speaker 1: Lebron is an example of a young man who has,
Speaker 1: in his own way and in a respectful way, tried
Speaker 1: to say I'm part of this society too, and focus attention.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, I think they picked that game
Speaker 1: in particular because they were in New York. It was
Speaker 1: also this really really star studded event. Jay Z and
Speaker 1: Beyonce were sitting courtside. Kate Middleton and her balding husband
Speaker 1: were sitting courtside. I really genuinely forget his. Is he
Speaker 1: Harry Um, the older one, Prince, Harry Prince, He used
Speaker 1: to be so one of them. He's totally gone from me,
Speaker 1: their dad, so Kate and him, Um, we're sitting courtside.
Speaker 1: It was like this huge everybody was going to be
Speaker 1: watching it, and then for the biggest star in the game,
Speaker 1: and then stars on both teams to come out. It
Speaker 1: was just it was really powerful. The NBA did not
Speaker 1: um find them or punish them in any way, which
Speaker 1: is extremely smart of them to do. That would have
Speaker 1: been really bad for them. This is also maybe the
Speaker 1: only league where this could happen. I know, the w
Speaker 1: n b A has has done things similar, but men's
Speaker 1: and very like international famous athletes. This he is maybe
Speaker 1: the only person that can get away with this, and
Speaker 1: that's why I think it's so much more important that
Speaker 1: he does it for sure. And you know, we also
Speaker 1: we can't expect athletes to be advocates, right, but you
Speaker 1: have someone like you know, the Michael Jordan's quote whatever
Speaker 1: whether it was a miss quote or not, where he
Speaker 1: said Republicans buy shoes too. But Lebron. Lebron, who was
Speaker 1: so obsessed with his image, has also always made sure
Speaker 1: that advocacy and social justice are at the forefront of
Speaker 1: that image and that he's doing the absolute most that
Speaker 1: he can regardless of what kind of consequences he faces
Speaker 1: to his personal brand, life, etcetera. Yeah, so I'm sorry
Speaker 1: that I started out on like a bummer, but it's
Speaker 1: a it's an important one and it sadly feels so
Speaker 1: relevant again. Yeah, and I you know, and when this
Speaker 1: is happening and we're seeing you know, all the protests
Speaker 1: and whatnot, and and and guys speaking up and people
Speaker 1: speaking up on social media, and I'm wondering, you know,
Speaker 1: this is why sports is so important in our lives.
Speaker 1: We do it more than politicians. You like, you look
Speaker 1: at the GOP, it's working crickets, and then it's like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, we have like seventh men on bad
Speaker 1: NBA t is doing more than governors are. And it's
Speaker 1: become sort of just like the because they're you know,
Speaker 1: NBA warmups. We're thinking like, you know, just like their
Speaker 1: classics sort of nylon jackets. But and I'm trying to
Speaker 1: think of there are other moments where it's just simply
Speaker 1: a T shirt that they wore during warmups. And you know,
Speaker 1: because like since then, I think you know, players in
Speaker 1: all leagues, at all levels, they players will wear a
Speaker 1: T shirt kind of just to send a message like
Speaker 1: even and and then this wasn't in protest, but like
Speaker 1: when Kobe passed, every player was trying to show their
Speaker 1: respect by wearing a Kobe T shirt or some sort
Speaker 1: of message on there. And I also just love like
Speaker 1: the simplicity of those I can't breathe. There's no you know,
Speaker 1: frills to It's just like in black T shirt without
Speaker 1: simple text or font, I can't breathe. And it just spoke.
Speaker 1: So it was just so impactful. Um, you know, and
Speaker 1: I wonder what NBA players are sports, how they would
Speaker 1: show that protest or that message if sports were going
Speaker 1: on right now. I think when it comes back, we
Speaker 1: will see, you know, I think there will be. There's
Speaker 1: just been so much bad that's happened since the NBA
Speaker 1: has halted that I hope they're in order and wreaking hathock.
Speaker 1: That's what I would like for them to be doing. Okay,
Speaker 1: c J, you you get us. Just I'm being like
Speaker 1: the newscaster when it's like, okay, well Family City Day
Speaker 1: kicks off down town, Okay, that's what I had to do.
Speaker 1: I don't So this isn't a moment. I guess it's
Speaker 1: a moment in the hole. But Cam Newton, black quarterback,
Speaker 1: just silly outfits. Yeah. I can't say there's a specific moment.
Speaker 1: I guess maybe during that time I could be like, man,
Speaker 1: he wore a funny hat, but like just him using
Speaker 1: his platform to where wild and wacky, had scarves over
Speaker 1: his head like a grandma, crazy crazy outfits, and then
Speaker 1: he would get roasted, but then he would just lean
Speaker 1: so hard into it um on the next press conference.
Speaker 1: And I guess I just you know, his fashion as
Speaker 1: a whole, as a statement in not having, you know,
Speaker 1: trying to conformed to the normal. Just yeah, Cam Newton
Speaker 1: in his fashion is one of my picks. As soon
Speaker 1: as you said Cam Newton, I was like, yeah, like
Speaker 1: he has a definition of just like where what you
Speaker 1: think is dope, fuck everybody else, and I just people
Speaker 1: with Cam Newton outfits and like the first three rows
Speaker 1: are all different and they're all wild. He's had like
Speaker 1: a real evolution too, because when you see when he
Speaker 1: got drafted, it was like, you know, he was wearing
Speaker 1: like a standard suit. I also went through. I was
Speaker 1: I was like, there's got to be a Cam when
Speaker 1: I can pick. And then when I was looking at
Speaker 1: the gallery, I was like these were all so insane
Speaker 1: that there's nothing that like stick stuck out to me.
Speaker 1: I think he is very much in the same way
Speaker 1: that like we spoke about Lebron. It's like Cam Newton
Speaker 1: is hot, and I think maybe sometimes we forget he's
Speaker 1: like so handsome. He's obviously incredible shape, has like a
Speaker 1: perfect body that it's like, yeah, where a fucking babushka scarf?
Speaker 1: Like that's amazing. Yeah. I mean, I can't say I
Speaker 1: agree with some of these outfits, but I agree with
Speaker 1: what he's trying to do. If he feels cool in them, yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree with it. NFL players are forcibly so boring too.
Speaker 1: They're not allowed the liberties that other athletes are that
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, we need somebody having fun. I mean
Speaker 1: it's really just kind of like him Odell what sucks.
Speaker 1: It's like I love the crop top, but like that
Speaker 1: was brought back because of Ezekiel Elliott, so it's like, well, you,
Speaker 1: I hate you as a human being, so I can't
Speaker 1: be into this crop top, even though if I just
Speaker 1: saw the crop top, I'd be like Okay, I mean
Speaker 1: you know what then, um Jimmy Butler tried to bring
Speaker 1: the crop top back a little bit ago. I love
Speaker 1: the crop top at the draft. But again, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I think Jimmy just gotta do it when we
Speaker 1: come back. Jimmy's got to do it at a significant
Speaker 1: sporting event or you know, an award show or something.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I just uh, Cam, he he like wore
Speaker 1: monocle ones. I think, yes, yes, And when people that
Speaker 1: weatherman that Perry did need him. I used to hate him,
Speaker 1: but then he was funny to me. Like everything about Cam,
Speaker 1: it's I'm always excited to see what's sort of like
Speaker 1: Shakespeare and love Top. He's gonna be in. Okay, let's
Speaker 1: take a let's take a quick break and then we'll
Speaker 1: be back, and we are back with Knitts Love What
Speaker 1: Who Who? What do you got for your second pick? Here? Okay,
Speaker 1: it's close, do you guys okay? Do you guys want
Speaker 1: classic or not talked about enough? Not talked about enough? Okay? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think for your classic you can give it to
Speaker 1: us as an honorable mention. Su effect Um j R.
Speaker 1: Smith not wearing a shirt for like, yes, after the
Speaker 1: you know it didn't actually happen. The calves did not
Speaker 1: actually come back from a three one. But if it did.
Speaker 1: J R. Smith didn't wear a shirt for a week
Speaker 1: during the championship parade and uh he was seen shirtless
Speaker 1: golfing coming off the plane among the fans. You know,
Speaker 1: he came down from the floats and just walked about
Speaker 1: the fans like this guy had the time of his life.
Speaker 1: I love it his fashion steam and his lack of
Speaker 1: fashion or lack of article of clothing. Like. Also, that
Speaker 1: was such an iconic look that they made a shirt
Speaker 1: that is Jr's tattoos that you can wear like, so
Speaker 1: it was a fashion moment and then it was redone,
Speaker 1: so then other people can wear that fashion moment Like
Speaker 1: that's to recreate someone's skin. That is wild. But that's
Speaker 1: what iconic it was. And I'm staring at a picture
Speaker 1: right now and standing up on top of the float.
Speaker 1: He's told me a sign that says seen election Hillary
Speaker 1: Trump and then a checkbox next to j R. Smith, Like,
Speaker 1: if we could, if we could be so lucky to
Speaker 1: go back in time and have that be what happens. Man,
Speaker 1: nobody partied harder than him. Good for him. Oh that
Speaker 1: I'm happy. I mean I'm sad that he had that.
Speaker 1: Um I don't know what the score is. I don't
Speaker 1: know how much time has left after it game one
Speaker 1: that they were they were tied, and he thought that
Speaker 1: they were up one and they were fact that like
Speaker 1: Quicken Loans Arena has this thing that actually says like
Speaker 1: the differential, but it's like, come on, dude, you know
Speaker 1: how to read numbers literally the same number. It's not
Speaker 1: that hard. But that was such a I mean, that
Speaker 1: was mass favorite moment. Yeah, because the Warrior. The Warriors
Speaker 1: won that game one. Um, yeah, I guess I feel
Speaker 1: bad for him because he definitely, you know, Jerry Smith
Speaker 1: is like such a good player and he got a
Speaker 1: lot of what an idiot for that? But let's just
Speaker 1: at one little, one little messo, right, let's just choose
Speaker 1: to remember j R. Smith Jr. You know that's a
Speaker 1: that's yes, I don't have knowledge, right, but I don't
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about. But there is a man
Speaker 1: named j R. Smith, and I think you would like him.
Speaker 1: I'll google him later. Okay, are you ready for mine? Okay? Um?
Speaker 1: Mine is classic, as Nicks would say, and it's Dennis
Speaker 1: Rodman wearing a wedding dress like okay, right, Okay, great,
Speaker 1: I see we'll get to it's everybody when you're like
Speaker 1: should I do this, or that someone else will do it,
Speaker 1: which is wonderful. Um, he he wore the wedding dress.
Speaker 1: He was promoting his book bad As I Want to
Speaker 1: Be Okay, and he wore the wedding dress and claimed
Speaker 1: to have married himself. I what I did not realize
Speaker 1: about this story is that he wore this wedding dress
Speaker 1: at a Barnes and Noble. Like I thought it was.
Speaker 1: I don't know he was making. I guess that is
Speaker 1: a public appearance. But like I think of Barnes and Noble.
Speaker 1: I go in there to like go poop and then
Speaker 1: like and like get air conditioning, and so for that
Speaker 1: to be where he does this public statement is so
Speaker 1: funny to me. M His agent says that, like they
Speaker 1: sort of came up with it as a publicity stunt,
Speaker 1: which did work. The book was a top the bestseller's
Speaker 1: list for twenty weeks. But that is I don't I
Speaker 1: honestly don't remember him having a book. But I'm happy
Speaker 1: for him that it worked out. But when you see that,
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, everybody saw that photo. It was everywhere
Speaker 1: so iconic. He actually the Bride's Magazine had him redo
Speaker 1: and wear a wedding dress for a spread in their
Speaker 1: magazine in two thousand and three, and he also looked
Speaker 1: really good, gorgeous, Like his makeup was flawless, the hair
Speaker 1: was great, the dress was custom made in France. It
Speaker 1: was a beautiful dress. Like there's a lot of women
Speaker 1: that would be like, yeah, I'd love to community talk
Speaker 1: about that moment a lot. I don't know. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but in the book he talks about as a child
Speaker 1: like cross dressing and being into wearing women's fashion, and
Speaker 1: and the marrying himself was a nod to him coming
Speaker 1: out as being bisexual. So I mean, I have to imagine.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that I haven't seen all of drag Race.
Speaker 1: I've only seen like half of it, but I bet
Speaker 1: it's been brought up. I mean, he shut down New
Speaker 1: York City when he was traveling to that Barns Noble.
Speaker 1: If you watch the thirty, it's just like the shame
Speaker 1: that this guy had and then just going down whatever
Speaker 1: avenue it was in New York and just you can't
Speaker 1: even move. I hope it's the Barns and Noble that's
Speaker 1: in Union Square that is the most popping off, crazy
Speaker 1: ass store in you go with, you go into that bathroom,
Speaker 1: someone is giving, someone is closing a I don't because
Speaker 1: the strand it was there. It was there when I left,
Speaker 1: but that was four years ago. Because it was to
Speaker 1: me that was like a beacon of hope, the Union
Speaker 1: Square Barns and Noble. If anything went wrong, you go
Speaker 1: to the Union Square Barns and Noble and you will be. Okay,
Speaker 1: you know what it is now, it's the Union Square
Speaker 1: Whole Foods. Oh. I had that like everybody like if
Speaker 1: you need a pee, if you need to eat, if
Speaker 1: you need to its resumed the responsibilities of that Barnes
Speaker 1: and Norman. I saw Kelsey Grammar at that Union Square
Speaker 1: Whole Foods and he was dressed so bad, and and
Speaker 1: I just kept like following him. I was like, I
Speaker 1: was in my mind, were following Kelsey Grammar mind I
Speaker 1: was like, Oh, that's weird Kelsey Grammar, and I want
Speaker 1: all the same stuff at Whole Foods. But I clearly
Speaker 1: was just walking behind him and his weird dad new balances.
Speaker 1: Not a great fashion moment for Helse. Okay, c do
Speaker 1: you want to give us your number two? Yeah? My
Speaker 1: Number two is Randy Moss wearing the Jordan elevens in
Speaker 1: the NFL game. That then sparked and I gotta figure
Speaker 1: out the timeline of this. But back then, and this
Speaker 1: might just be like a sneaker head thing, but wearing Jordan's,
Speaker 1: wearing basketball shoes and any other sport was like insane.
Speaker 1: And so Randy Moss back then, like I was part
Speaker 1: of these sneaker message boards and people were just going nuts.
Speaker 1: One because they were special edition like peas made forms,
Speaker 1: so they're white and purple Jordan Levins, which is maybe
Speaker 1: one of the most iconic sneakers of all time. And
Speaker 1: then the fact that he was wearing them on turf,
Speaker 1: and then that led to then Dion Sanders having his
Speaker 1: own special edition shoes, and then Michael Vick wore the
Speaker 1: seventeens on the Falcons, and now like a majority of
Speaker 1: the league wears Jordan's cleats like Jordan cleats and turf
Speaker 1: shoes are the norm. And I remember as a kid
Speaker 1: just playing football, kids used to roast me. They would
Speaker 1: be like, oh, yeah, there's that Asian kid who wore
Speaker 1: basketball shoes and football, and it's like, yeah, I want
Speaker 1: to talk to them. Now because now all these players
Speaker 1: are wearing these kids, you know, just my white redneck teammates. Well,
Speaker 1: let's find them roster. They're all like doctors or people
Speaker 1: who Yeah, I don't want to talk to them about that.
Speaker 1: In a way, they are doing better than me. But yeah,
Speaker 1: so you latched onto it as a young boy, that
Speaker 1: was a trend, and you love you really have a
Speaker 1: You love Randy Moss. I love Randy Moss for some
Speaker 1: reason as a child, and this goes back to growing
Speaker 1: up in Indiana and it being clouded with racism. Randy
Speaker 1: Moss was like bad. He was portrayed as bad, but
Speaker 1: I remember I think it was like he's he is disrespectful, yes, yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: absolutely um And then when he did the fake moon
Speaker 1: and everybody freaked out. I was like, but he didn't
Speaker 1: actually moon anybody. And it's really so weird. I remember
Speaker 1: when I started at the NFL that was like, hey,
Speaker 1: we know you're gonna like bring back all like the
Speaker 1: fun moments in sports, but you definitely cannot do that.
Speaker 1: And it's just like he faked moon people, and that's
Speaker 1: what you're mad about. Still he fake moon. He scored
Speaker 1: a touchdown and then and then pretended to pull down
Speaker 1: but like, but he didn't. Actually no, he did improv
Speaker 1: object work of pulling down his pants, and people lost
Speaker 1: their fucking mind. I mean, I think he ended up
Speaker 1: getting fined. Like it was Oh yeah, people were the
Speaker 1: NFL was mad. It was hilarious too. So it's just
Speaker 1: like an NFL slash NFL fan thing. Yeah, but so
Speaker 1: like this moment, I just think it it almost started
Speaker 1: NFL players caring about what was on their feet. And
Speaker 1: now like O'Dell has, you know, like NFL cleats and
Speaker 1: sneakers is like a thing on the cleats are the
Speaker 1: only way that they can show any person pretty much.
Speaker 1: And I still think it's like illegal, Like O'Dell has
Speaker 1: separate warmup cleats, like cleat said he's allowed to wear
Speaker 1: in warmups but not allowed to wear during games. You know,
Speaker 1: to that, I would say Odell last year didn't go
Speaker 1: as planned, Maybe just wear the same shoes, like to
Speaker 1: know c J. He had a bad year, he got hurt.
Speaker 1: Let these guys express themselves, Okay, but I think maybe
Speaker 1: Browns fans would like for them to express themselves. Score
Speaker 1: the express themselves appropriately. So if you're taking a bunch
Speaker 1: of els maybe maybe switch your shoe well to warm
Speaker 1: up in one shoe and then switch into another shoe.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, but that's shoe. I've done that in
Speaker 1: like rec league games. I'm called out for doing that.
Speaker 1: So like you work at social media, you work at
Speaker 1: social media. That's how Yeah maybe, and it's sometimes it's
Speaker 1: a soul sucking job. And I want to express myself
Speaker 1: by wearing two pairs of shoes to a Y M
Speaker 1: C A Jim. Unfortunately, c J, I have news to
Speaker 1: break to you. The Steaks writing on your performance and
Speaker 1: the Steaks writing on O'Dell's performances are very very difficult.
Speaker 1: Um net's get Clark in here, he'll back me up.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Clark would love to come in and talk
Speaker 1: about what a great dresser Lebron is. Oh wait, okay,
Speaker 1: you cut out for all of that. All I heard
Speaker 1: was Clark would love to come and talk and talk
Speaker 1: about how great of addresser Lebron is. But so Clark's
Speaker 1: the Lebron hater and your Lebron lover and what I'm getting? Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: but I was trying to I wanted to call him
Speaker 1: in here to help back up how stupid I am.
Speaker 1: Maybe he wouldn't do that either. No, I think now
Speaker 1: he would love it. He would love are you kidding?
Speaker 1: Like this motherfucker amount of shoes that show up to
Speaker 1: this house. He would love the idea of like and
Speaker 1: find one of them was a birthday gift to me,
Speaker 1: so thanks. I guess that it was very nice and
Speaker 1: I was such a bit about it. But the like
Speaker 1: the he would love the idea of just expressing yourself
Speaker 1: through one shoe putting on a different one for his
Speaker 1: two k players. Are you doing it in your life?
Speaker 1: It's probably fine, c J. Shoes have gotten so bad,
Speaker 1: Like I've I've stopped complaining about them. It's just this
Speaker 1: is I love who I love, and unfortunately, this is
Speaker 1: who he is when it comes to shoes. But it's
Speaker 1: gotten so bad. My family, like my mom and dad
Speaker 1: are like, hey, CJ, what if you sold something? Like?
Speaker 1: They've started pitching him ideas to get rid of shoes,
Speaker 1: and I think he thinks I'm behind it. I'm not
Speaker 1: behind it. These are just my loved ones genuinely concerned
Speaker 1: about our financial future. Yeah, we agree with you. Guys
Speaker 1: have a do you have a sneaker closet or do
Speaker 1: you have a sneaker like set up, and it's yeah,
Speaker 1: it's fixing. It's submerged into parts of my territory, the
Speaker 1: garage territories, our houses square feet, shoes are in seven
Speaker 1: square female I'm looking at That sounds about right. Yes,
Speaker 1: that is correct. That may be embarrassing, but that is
Speaker 1: the reality. Let's take a break before this turns messy.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back, all right, and we are back
Speaker 1: with our fine, no old picks. It's if you haven't
Speaker 1: heard before, we usually save our guest pick for the
Speaker 1: final climax of this whole thing. So, uh, Megan, do
Speaker 1: you want climax? I don't know, That's just how I
Speaker 1: talk about finales. It's okay, cool, all right, look on
Speaker 1: your face is wild to make? Yeah? Yeah, just for
Speaker 1: the sun to be out and hear you say climax
Speaker 1: into a microphone. Megan freaked me out first. So you
Speaker 1: want me to just give my pick and stop analyzing
Speaker 1: the words you use? Okay? So my pick is Serena
Speaker 1: Williams two thousand eighteen French Open cat suit. So yeah, okay, great,
Speaker 1: that's the reaction I was hoping for. What is so
Speaker 1: special about tennis and golf? And maybe some others. I'll
Speaker 1: think on it is that they also get to pick
Speaker 1: the uniform that they compete in, so they are able
Speaker 1: to express themselves where whatever they want. It's not like, oh, hey,
Speaker 1: these are our team colors, you gotta wear it. It's like, no,
Speaker 1: this is your brand, You meet with a designer, you
Speaker 1: do whatever you want. So Serena makes this black jumpsuit
Speaker 1: cat suit, skin tight all the way down to her
Speaker 1: you know, covers her whole body, and and it was
Speaker 1: so striking because the Roland Garros courts are that really
Speaker 1: chucky beautiful red, and she just popped against it and
Speaker 1: everyone loved it, and it created so much fanfare, and
Speaker 1: of course some piece of ship old frenchman who runs
Speaker 1: the French Tennis Federation hates it and then came out
Speaker 1: and banned it. And it wasn't even just a fashion statement.
Speaker 1: It was also something that she was wearing that had
Speaker 1: been specially designed to help help her fight blood clots
Speaker 1: that she was suffering from since giving birth to a baby.
Speaker 1: But that man did not like his name is like
Speaker 1: and he is against the cats. They've since made a
Speaker 1: truce and they're okay. But I just remember her coming
Speaker 1: out in it, and it was so amazing. There was
Speaker 1: a woman. Tennis has like a lot of rules about
Speaker 1: uniforms to like Wimbledon, you have to be and I
Speaker 1: think it's seventy white. It's like a they want it
Speaker 1: all white and a woman in name and white. I
Speaker 1: think that's her name. Um wore a white jumpsuit that
Speaker 1: Wimbledon also got mad out and banned in the middle
Speaker 1: of her match, like they had to suspend the match
Speaker 1: for darkness, and then the next day they were like,
Speaker 1: you can't wear that out on the court again, and
Speaker 1: she had to switch you and you bring like ten
Speaker 1: twenty of whatever the outfit is, and then you wear
Speaker 1: that the whole time. So she had to scrap that
Speaker 1: and find something else. But yeah, Serena is just I mean,
Speaker 1: I was thinking about even doing Serena in that Beyonce video.
Speaker 1: Like Serena's fashion moments are amazing, but I love this
Speaker 1: one because it's on the court. People loved it. Of course,
Speaker 1: losers got mad at it, and it was also something
Speaker 1: that was protecting her life as a mother and an athlete, right,
Speaker 1: and losers get mad at Serena Williams with all the
Speaker 1: time expert speed, just you know, and even people within
Speaker 1: the like you said that French guy whatever you said
Speaker 1: his name, I don't know if that was a troll
Speaker 1: or his real name, but whatever it was, he sucks.
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, people within the tennis world to
Speaker 1: just don't give her any of the justice that she deserves.
Speaker 1: So I know, it's so, I mean, she her looks
Speaker 1: are crazy. She once for like a Dennam miniskirt at
Speaker 1: a US Open kid's day, like she she wore that
Speaker 1: too too. She really has fun with you know, those
Speaker 1: losers are racist and sexist. You know, it's like crazy.
Speaker 1: It's like some of these shouldn't be fashion statements, but
Speaker 1: because there's so much like racism and sexism in you know,
Speaker 1: these sports, they're like, whoa, that's nuts. It's like no,
Speaker 1: it's like if people got to wear what they want
Speaker 1: to wear, this is what it would look like. And
Speaker 1: Serena knows that she's so good tennis that she should
Speaker 1: be allowed to do this, of course, and it's not
Speaker 1: harming anybody, right like you said, it was to support
Speaker 1: of genuine like health issue that she had or like
Speaker 1: up in arms like bro, that's too too. Isn't hurting
Speaker 1: anybody that cats through isn't right if anything is helping us.
Speaker 1: I mean, when you saw Serena that cat suit, it
Speaker 1: was like, oh, and that's part of what they're afraid of,
Speaker 1: Like they're uncomfortable with the shape of women's bodies being displayed.
Speaker 1: But it's like she's displaying her body. Like you don't
Speaker 1: get to tell anyone how to display their body. If
Speaker 1: I were playing at the US Open, full bush and
Speaker 1: bush and a sports brawl and that's it. Nothing on
Speaker 1: the well, I guess I gotta have something to hold you. No,
Speaker 1: there's ball kids, they can feed me all the balls.
Speaker 1: I almost brought up what you did earlier. Tell tell
Speaker 1: the people mean about to get in the shower. This
Speaker 1: is graphic. It's not that graphic. But Megan was getting
Speaker 1: about to get in the shower and she did the
Speaker 1: ESPN body issue. I tried to make my own boys
Speaker 1: from my office and not not like kinky toys and
Speaker 1: covered herself and said ESPM body issue, and I was like,
Speaker 1: your bush is showing. But then he said yeah. I
Speaker 1: was like, go off, I'd watch I'd get that magazine
Speaker 1: that's sucking iconic alright, my number one. Well, so I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna rattle off some honorable mentions real quick. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say, Anthony Davis is that's all folks shirt last
Speaker 1: last game in New Orleans. He says that his stylists
Speaker 1: picked that. But it's like, no, dude, you put that
Speaker 1: shirt on. You walked to the arena like you knew
Speaker 1: what you were doing there. Again, I feel like some
Speaker 1: of these basketball players won't admit but le Bronze Ultimate
Speaker 1: Warrior shirt that again, you don't have to acknowledge that
Speaker 1: that actually happened. You're an Ultimate Warrior T shirt in
Speaker 1: blue and yellow to the parade the day after they won.
Speaker 1: And so this one, I love the intention and I
Speaker 1: think social media kind of like roasted this a lot.
Speaker 1: But Deonte Wilder's Bejeweled Night costume before the rematch against
Speaker 1: Tyson Fury, it was like forty pounds it was it
Speaker 1: looked cool, um and it was intended to he said,
Speaker 1: to show black excellence, which is great, but then he
Speaker 1: ended up losing, and then a lot of the stories
Speaker 1: and you know, in from himself said he felt like
Speaker 1: it costed him the match, but you know it was like,
Speaker 1: wasn't like forty pounds plus pounds walked out in so
Speaker 1: heavy that he got himself tired out, which it is
Speaker 1: funny and I see why people made fun of it.
Speaker 1: But on the flip side, it's like it's confidence. If
Speaker 1: he would have won that, that is pretty badass, and
Speaker 1: like I would have leaned into how crazy it was
Speaker 1: to wear that. Um So I liked the intention. It
Speaker 1: would have been my number one if he had won
Speaker 1: that match. Uh, my number one, but he didn't. Uh
Speaker 1: oh yeah. One more honorable mention Kobe in two dozen
Speaker 1: two finals, they swept the nets in every game he
Speaker 1: wore like an iconic jersey he wore on the game
Speaker 1: four of the sweep, he wore a Jordan jersey and
Speaker 1: a Jordan warm up sunglasses And I thought that was
Speaker 1: pretty bad ass looking at pictures. But my number one
Speaker 1: is hoodie Mellow, which I think was unintentional at first,
Speaker 1: and I feel like I'm picking it too, just because,
Speaker 1: like House the Highlights, my employer had a little bit
Speaker 1: of playing this is that. You know, we were posting
Speaker 1: videos of Mellow working out with Chris Brickley and he
Speaker 1: was wearing this hoodie and we just I think Omar
Speaker 1: and I don't know if Omar knew it would take
Speaker 1: off like this. But Hoodie Mellow became such a thing.
Speaker 1: And then when Mellow went to the Thunder, he like
Speaker 1: leaned into it. And during the introductory like meeting, he
Speaker 1: wore the hoodie and was like leaning into it. And
Speaker 1: I thought that was such like a badass thing. Um.
Speaker 1: You know what Hoodie Mellow was too, though, is it
Speaker 1: became a symbol of guys working out really hard and
Speaker 1: then not being so good in the think that's true.
Speaker 1: That is true. Well, I think it was a bad
Speaker 1: situation for him to be there. It was a bad
Speaker 1: situation in Houston. But yeah, I still like Mellow and
Speaker 1: and Hoodie Mellow. It's like it was like the beginning
Speaker 1: of memes of like then we got like Beanie Mellow,
Speaker 1: we got Shirtless Jr. Like that just like the formula
Speaker 1: of nicknames that kind of set us up for that's
Speaker 1: so true. We got untucked Kyrie, we got now you're right,
Speaker 1: and you know, Mellow is a great, great player, great
Speaker 1: sport for like leaning into all that ship. But that
Speaker 1: became like a whole that was a movement in I
Speaker 1: G Trainer videos. Well, yeah, and like the Nike and
Speaker 1: the NBA their hood there's like hoods built into the
Speaker 1: warm ups. Now, wow, he changed what he changed the outfit?
Speaker 1: I think a little bit. Did you get one? Do have? Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah you do? And do you put your little hood up?
Speaker 1: I don't like that very good. And if I'm posting
Speaker 1: videos of me working out for for what to be
Speaker 1: a social media guy, then that's it. Wow. Who There's
Speaker 1: gonna be some people that listen to that and are
Speaker 1: going to have to look deep in their souls. Well,
Speaker 1: I advise you guys not to do that. Well, but
Speaker 1: sometimes you Today I did like a lunch and I
Speaker 1: saw my booty pop out, and I was like, I
Speaker 1: do kind of wish I could post this. This is
Speaker 1: really the body episode for Megan. This is you're the
Speaker 1: one that said it. However, in front of the funny
Speaker 1: part is that I'm the worst. I have the worst
Speaker 1: service and it keeps cutting in and out. But I've
Speaker 1: heard like my booty popping out, I heard body issue,
Speaker 1: So like whatever you guys just said. Yeah, But the
Speaker 1: thing is, you only need you really only need like
Speaker 1: THT of C J and me. You know, like you're
Speaker 1: going to walk away with this happier than most guests
Speaker 1: because you're like, I didn't get at all, but it
Speaker 1: was the right amount. Oh yeah, my service is just
Speaker 1: protecting me and my vanity. It's filtering if anything. All right,
Speaker 1: it's what's your number one pick? Okay, well on your
Speaker 1: lebron Ultimate Warrior. I have honorable mentions the Draymond Quickie shirt.
Speaker 1: But he also wore in the parade after the you know,
Speaker 1: the Warriors swept. None of you guys are Cobs fans,
Speaker 1: so this isn't fun after they swept him. But I
Speaker 1: have Westbrook wearing this is another one on top of
Speaker 1: the like players always say, like, no, that had nothing
Speaker 1: to do with it. Yeah, sure, Westbrook war photographer outfit.
Speaker 1: Yeah to the first Warriors thunder game, Kadi. You know
Speaker 1: one of his biggest hobbies. He's been vocal about his photography.
Speaker 1: He was actually a photographer at Super Bowl fifty and
Speaker 1: Westbrook war this like neon Orange, I am a photographer thing.
Speaker 1: He said it was just a fashion moment. He thought
Speaker 1: it looked really cool. I guess you never know with
Speaker 1: Westbrook because he does kind of just like to show
Speaker 1: his cleavage or like have these crazy fashion moments in
Speaker 1: the tunnel. But I I don't buy. I think he
Speaker 1: was trying to troll Katie. Yeah, that in and Katie
Speaker 1: kind of trolled back right with the cupcake hats. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he had a which I own one because it's so
Speaker 1: great he has after they won the ring. You know,
Speaker 1: thunder fans and In don't know, they just called him
Speaker 1: cupcake all year for being soft, for going to the Warriors.
Speaker 1: He made this hot with a cupcake and the cherry
Speaker 1: on top was a championship ring. So I mean that's
Speaker 1: that's as good of a clap back as you could get,
Speaker 1: Like what the photographer out for all you want, but
Speaker 1: I want to ring and I love it and you
Speaker 1: mentioned it too, and I mentioned it before. It's just
Speaker 1: like I love when these players play. They're like all
Speaker 1: KOI They're like what, no, what do you mean? I
Speaker 1: wasn't thinking about this at all, And it's like, yes,
Speaker 1: you were, Like I remember Lebron did the three one
Speaker 1: Graveyard cookies and still they tried to deny it after like,
Speaker 1: oh you're talking about specifically about that. It was literally
Speaker 1: about that, Like Lebron could, like Draymond could have worn
Speaker 1: a shirt that says like, ha, how we swept you guys?
Speaker 1: I don't. I cleaned up my apartment today. I don't
Speaker 1: know what you're talking about. Just admit it, but you know,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. It gives us the fans all the
Speaker 1: fun ting to speculate about whether or not they're being petty,
Speaker 1: which they probably are. God, yeah, all those I just
Speaker 1: missed the NBA so much. It's okay, honey, it's coming back.
Speaker 1: It's coming back. It's okay. They're gonna they're gonna do
Speaker 1: tunnel walks in Orlando. What if they what if they
Speaker 1: get to like they're like the parks clothes, and then
Speaker 1: what if they get them to dress up in the
Speaker 1: as the characters? Cool? You know, like someone's gonna be Lebron,
Speaker 1: is gonna be Aladdin. We don't mean Lebron dressing up,
Speaker 1: like why not? That'd be cute. If there's anybody that
Speaker 1: Corona is growing right now, girl, it's in those like
Speaker 1: Disneyland's costumes. Yeah. If they would have said, like that's
Speaker 1: how it started, was like someone left like that just
Speaker 1: takes off a Mickey head and it's like, I don't
Speaker 1: know what happened. Zero is actually Elmo in Times Square?
Speaker 1: That would make total sense. All right, Well, thank you
Speaker 1: so much for she hasn't given us their number one
Speaker 1: yet Oh I thought that was h oh yeah, no,
Speaker 1: Draymond was an honorable mention with book photographer. Okay, gotcha,
