Speaker 4: played football there, and when I got done playing, I

46
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 4: kind of hit the road that a lot of guys hit,

47
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 4: not knowing exactly what you want to do, But you know,

48
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 4: I knew I wanted to stay in sports. I got

49
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 4: a undergrad and business administration, but then from there went

50
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 4: to Georgetown, got my master's in sports management, and then

51
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 4: focused on sports marketing and player marketing and NFL Players Association,

52
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 4: so helping guys, you know, make money off the field

53
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 4: through endorsements, activation.

54
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: Player appearances, things of that nature. So yeah, I loved it.

55
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 3: I loved it.

56
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: Why is marketing so popular? I feel like back in

57
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: the day day, back in the day day, like eons ago,

58
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: before any of you were born, there was this movie

59
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 1: have you guys ever heard of it called Boomerang with

60
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy.

61
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 3: Yep, yep, Eddie Murphy.

62
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: Was it advertising? And I remember everybody wanted to be

63
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: an advertising at one point. Marketing is it? And I

64
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: don't know, there's so many different aspects of it. But

65
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: the creative, the creative genius of this generation is so

66
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: special to me. But marketing is very, very popular for you.

67
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: Why was it popular? Did you know what marketing was

68
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: before you that was even an option for me.

69
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

70
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, It's funny because I actually when I thought about

71
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 4: sports and working in sports, the thing that I thought

72
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 4: about was just being an agent.

73
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 3: Like everybody, you know, that's that's the first.

74
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: Thing that you want to babysit a bunch of spoil people.

75
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 4: Well that's what I thought at first. You know, this

76
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 4: was a couple of years ago, when you know, marketing

77
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 4: wasn't as big. Well, when I got into the world

78
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 4: of sports and sports marketing, I realized that it's really

79
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 4: the perfect merge of business and sports. Like marketing touches

80
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 4: every aspect of life, and just doing that through sports

81
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 4: it was something that I loved. I loved being able

82
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 4: to help players tell them stories, market themselves. And then

83
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 4: also I love when a good marketing campaign comes into play,

84
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 4: when you got a player that fits the brand and

85
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 4: that could tell the story for the brand. It's hard,

86
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 4: but once you find that, like, that's something I really love,

87
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 4: so really storytelling and Brandon.

88
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: Who's a perfect idea in terms of a perfect candidate

89
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: that would be great for marketing. When I think of

90
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: like in the league, I go NFL, and I think,

91
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: if I wanted to market a player he's a walking story,

92
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: it would be like Odell Beckham. Yet exactly, I would

93
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: think of Travis now Kelsey before. But his style now

94
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: is kind of he's back. He looks like an officer now.

95
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: Before then he used to have he still did. I'm

96
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: sure people still think he has it or or in

97
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: the NBA, you know shy he's so soul fly, Like

98
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: his soul fly is crazy and it's easy and effortless.

99
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: So those people, to me tell stories. So marketing for

100
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: an NFL player is that person can tell a story

101
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: with the way they dress and how they talk and

102
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: who they are.

103
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 4: I'm asking, Yeah, I mean it's it's I mean, you

104
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 4: gotta look at the whole person, you know. I think

105
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 4: when when people think of about themselves, they don't only

106
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 4: just think about their job. If you're talking about the

107
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 4: average person, right, so why do we do it for

108
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 4: sports or athletics? So I think it's guys that are

109
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 4: really starting to embrace that now, whether it be through fashion,

110
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 4: whether it be through what they do in the off season,

111
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 4: whether it be through music. There's a lot of guys

112
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 4: doing their own music things. So I think being able

113
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 4: to get guys to realize that, you know, football is

114
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 4: just what you do, it's not who you are. Who

115
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 4: are you outside of that? That allows them to see

116
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 4: the potential of what they can market. Obviously, yet keep

117
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 4: the main thing the main thing, and do well on

118
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 4: the field, right because that opens up the opportunities. But

119
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 4: being able to know who you are outside of it too,

120
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 4: you know, opens up things not only for you personally

121
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 4: but from a business standpoints.

122
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: But sometimes people don't know that. They have to find

123
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: that someone fields that. Like there was a time I

124
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: loved me from Rihanna, But Rihanna at the beginning, it's

125
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: not Rihanna. Now she got the tattoos, so she got them,

126
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: the haircut, and she got the jewelry. She created her

127
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: look exactly. So how do you do that as a marketer?

128
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 3: I mean it comes down to identity. I think.

129
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 4: It's funny because on my way up here, I was

130
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 4: looking at I think it was on Twitter or LinkedIn.

131
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 4: It said marketing is being able to It's like inviting

132
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 4: somebody to on a date. But branding is keeping them there, right,

133
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 4: So you got to be able to market yourself and

134
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 4: brand yourself. So one you got to know who you are.

135
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 4: You got to be able to identify who you are.

136
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 4: And I think one thing that hurts a lot of

137
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 4: guys just outside of football too, or in general, is

138
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 4: identifying yourself as just that one thing, like I'm just

139
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 4: a football player, right, you limit yourself and that's something

140
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 4: that you know, I went through even on the lower

141
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 4: scale and the collegiate aspect of things. So I think

142
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 4: once you really start to get out of that mindset

143
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 4: that you know, I'm just a football player, I'm just

144
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 4: a basketball player, you start to open up to Okay,

145
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 4: what do I like? And it start to explore some

146
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 4: things you might fail at, some things you might not,

147
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 4: might not hit.

148
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 3: But then once you find your stride.

149
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: Or your niche, Yeah what fits?

150
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, once you're find what fits, you know, that's what

151
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 4: That's what happens, you know.

152
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 3: I guess that's the double want to.

153
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was like, well, here, since we are here,

154
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: blitz fits. What is blitz fits? How bad concept come about?

155
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, so blizz fits level. It's really just like

156
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 4: a football fashion and lifestyle media platform. How it started

157
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 4: was really like, you know, I was still working at

158
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 4: the PA, and you know, I really started to see

159
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 4: like basketball had their own, you know, outlets to show

160
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 4: their fashion inspect from soccer, did you know, and football

161
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 4: didn't really have the narrative of guys can dress. Obviously

162
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 4: back then there was some guys that were really stepping

163
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 4: like Jamal Adams, DeAndre Hopkins, Odell, but it wasn't really highlighted.

164
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: Or used to be Yeah.

165
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 4: Yep, yeah, DeAndre would be at you know, he'd be

166
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 4: on the runways back then. He was like one of

167
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 4: the OG's really to really start that along with guys

168
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 4: like Odell, but I saw it as an opportunity to

169
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 4: really like you know, make a brand that's for the

170
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 4: players to show themselves in that aspect. So what it's

171
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 4: grown to over the years has become you know, fashion obviously,

172
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 4: but also a lifestyle media platform where we're really trying

173
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 4: to tell the stories of guys through the avenue of fashion,

174
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 4: but also other things like what do they do on

175
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 4: their off days, how do they get prepped for the game,

176
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 4: closet tours, things like that.

177
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: But so when you say, how do they prep for

178
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: their off days. Are they prepping for work, are they

179
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: prepping for what they're gonna wear.

180
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 4: It could be any It could be some guys do

181
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 4: take their off days to prep what they're wearing. Some

182
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 4: guys do that before the season. Some guys really just

183
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 4: take their off day to rest and relax play video games.

184
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 4: So it's really just like depends on who you ask

185
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 4: and what they do, you know, you'll get a different answer. Yeah,

186
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 4: I mean, I think it's because it's another thing I

187
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 4: learned coming into it is there's a difference between fashion

188
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 4: and style.

189
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

190
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 4: Fashion is more so the things that you see on

191
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 4: the mannequins, like the high end things like the name

192
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 4: brands all that, which nothing's bad with that, But if

193
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 4: you don't have a style of your own, you kind

194
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 4: of just gravitate to whatever you know it's out or

195
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 4: hot at the moment. So style is something that's timeless

196
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 4: and something that you know it's gonna be within you

197
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 4: no matter what.

198
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: That's what you feel like, Like when I get dressed

199
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: and I think I have style, everybody can say different

200
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: when I get dresses, like do I feel comfortable in this?

201
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: Does this represent me. Do I feel like my and

202
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: when you know my, I would say, I was like,

203
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: my style would be I like to be comfortable first. Yeah,

204
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: I like to be tall, so I'm always worse hills.

205
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: And I like to feel sexy and empowered, so it

206
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: might be my I'm going to show off my legs

207
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: I have on I'm going to show you a workout

208
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: like you not going not know I'll work out like

209
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: that's that's my That's my style because that empowers me.

210
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: I feel strong physically and mentally. And I look at

211
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: people like Odell, you could tell he just has it.

212
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: He puts it all together, and it just like no

213
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: one can wear that like I can put that together.

214
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: I'd look silly if I have that exactly. That to

215
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: me is the essence of style. And I just recently

216
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: I want to go into the people that you have

217
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: talked about on blitz Fits, one of which is angel

218
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: Reese Baltimore's very own right and and she was on

219
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: the cover of Vogue, which is such a huge iconic

220
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: thing and I her and they shared double Gabby Thomas.

221
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: They shared the cover. But in terms of American Vogue

222
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: and being the first athlete basketball player more specifically, first

223
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: basketball player male or female to cover Vogue is huge, huge, crazy,

224
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: and in my mind, I know that she gets a

225
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 1: lot of heat for how she dresses, saying she doesn't

226
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: have style, but they put her on Vogue. Does that

227
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: mean that she has style because they put her on

228
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: Vogue in your opinion.

229
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 4: I mean it's subjective obviously, at the end of the day,

230
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 4: fashion to an extent, it's subjective. But I do think

231
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 4: that obviously, I think Angel can dress. I mean I'm

232
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 4: a little biased. She's from Maryland. I think, you know Maryland.

233
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 4: At DMV, we have our way of fashion topic. It's

234
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 4: just different from the rest of the world, you know, But.

235
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: What is Maryland's way of dressing? What is this?

236
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 3: I mean it depends.

237
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 4: You know, she's from Baltimore, so there's a little bit

238
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 4: different than what you would get in a PG county,

239
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, Or like, you know, DC,

240
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 4: you got a lot of you know, I think some

241
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 4: of our stables are new balanced Nike, Booze, the north Face.

242
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 3: But it's it's really like, I don't know how to

243
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:45,719
Speaker 3: describe it.

244
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 4: It's kind of like we dress well but effortlessly at

245
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 4: the same time, you're not gonna see a lot of

246
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 4: name brands, but you're going to be like, Okay, that's

247
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 4: a good fit. Let me purpose by saying I wouldn't

248
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 4: call myself like the fashion guru, Like if you see

249
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 4: me out, I like to keep the simple white tea.

250
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

251
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 4: Out of my friend group, I'll say, there's a couple

252
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 4: of other guys that are more stylist than me and like,

253
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 4: you know, really dig into the fashion sense. But I

254
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 4: think Maryland is just you know, it's funny we talk

255
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 4: about other states and how they dress. You know, I'm

256
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 4: not gonna say what we say, but it's just different.

257
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 4: It's different from what you get in. I mean, it's

258
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 4: it's it's subjective, you know what I'm saying. Somebody might

259
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 4: not agree with our opinion that Maryland is one of

260
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 4: the best states for.

261
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 1: You're going to have to We're gonna have to take

262
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: that to the ground. We have to see what they say.

263
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 4: Yeahah, I mean, but you got put a d MV

264
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 4: because you know, depending on who you ask and where

265
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 4: they're from.

266
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: So I have to say D very specifically. Is it

267
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: true that where you live determines how you dress? We'll

268
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: find out when Naked Sports returns. It's your city, so

269
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: it must be your style. Welcome back to Naked Sports.

270
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 1: I do believe there are like in Detroit. What I

271
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: think of Detroit, I'm like, where's your chinchilla, where your fir?

272
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: Where the gators? And they will get like or what

273
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: they call buffs, Like it's very you have to be

274
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: from Detroit to call Cartier glasses buffs. It's very important.

275
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: And to me that reminds me of this like an

276
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: old school pimp. I see that that is.

277
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 3: I can see that like all that whole.

278
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: But people are like, no, I'm fly. You cannot tell.

279
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: Nobody from Detroit are not fly exactly. And so when

280
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: you say subjective, is it just truly how you grew

281
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: up in what you think is fashion? Yeah, I mean

282
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: they're a universal fly. Is there a place you're like

283
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: universally every this this place is where the fashion.

284
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think universally. There's obviously places like here in

285
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 4: New York, LA. You know those big cities even over

286
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 4: in Asia that they have their fashion capitalism. Well, I agree,

287
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 4: So I think there is obviously like a universal fly,

288
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 4: like a universal look that a lot of people can say.

289
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 4: I probably might not wear that, but that looks good.

290
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 4: They can dress, you know, even there's some players that

291
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 4: probably say the same thing. But at the end of

292
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 4: the day, it's subjective because that same thing with blisters, right,

293
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 4: you might I might post a player, right I think

294
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 4: the fit is fly, and then somebody is like, oh, yeah,

295
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 4: it's crazy. I would never wear that. She's got too

296
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 4: much money wear. It's subjective. I look at some of

297
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 4: the pages and I'm like, I could see why you

298
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 4: wouldn't wear that based on how you dress.

299
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 3: But you know, to East their own.

300
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: New York to me is the fashion capital. Like I'm

301
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: from LA born and raised, and I've lived there most

302
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: of my life. Living here, the way I see fashion

303
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: of my game is so much in so many different ways.

304
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: In LA, you can't wear a coat. There's no such

305
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: thing as wearing a coat. New York, you don't have

306
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: five six fly coats. You're gonna be layered. If you

307
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: could really just layer and layer and layer, it just

308
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: adds so much more texture to how you dress. So

309
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: I do think New York to me would be clearly

310
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: one of the fashion capitals. Or Paris. That's efforts. They

311
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: are effortless. They'll throw on the scarf and just some

312
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: raggedy g's and you're.

313
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 3: Like, that's great, what's that Europe in general?

314
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: And it's clean. It's like a very minimalistic clean.

315
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 3: Even if they're wearing brands, you won't know.

316
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: You won't know it, just like you don't know nothing

317
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,599
Speaker 1: about this. This is for the Yeah, okay, kids, you

318
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: don't know nothing about this. I love that. I want

319
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: to know. With blitz fits, where you're trying to tell

320
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: a story because you are marketing each player by talking

321
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: about them, and you have some players that are continuously

322
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: on blitz fits, can you tell me repeat customers that

323
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: people truly enjoy?

324
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean obviously you got got Stefan Diggs, Odell Beckham,

325
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 4: Tyrod Taylor, some sleeper guys which I don't think they're

326
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 4: sleepers anymore, like Saraan Neil Miami Dolphins. Another name that's

327
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 4: coming up right now, Duke Riley from the Dolphins as well.

328
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 4: So there's a lot of guys that you know are

329
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 4: really steppers, you know, Devon Gottchak from the Patriots, Laramie

330
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 4: Tunsel from the Texts.

331
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's so and good for him, right because

332
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: he has such a such a horrible start, and he

333
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: weren't even thinking about him before what he dressed about it.

334
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: He's turned the whole thing around.

335
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 3: Yep, and he's doing his thing on the field.

336
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, good for him, all right, Okay, so I have

337
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: a quest. Yeah, the idea of an NFL player, I

338
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: think I think fashion is to me, the only way

339
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: they can set themselves apart. Yes, you can be great

340
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: on the field, and if you're not one of these

341
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: excellent players that we are highlighting, especially people in these

342
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: ungrateful positions, Like some of these positions you're like, what

343
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: do you do?

344
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 3: Kick?

345
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: Or what do you do? Very few, you know, the

346
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: positions that you don't get the glory, but you can't

347
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: see them because they have on a helmet and their

348
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: identity is really truly concealed, and so a lot of

349
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: them do different things. I think that was genius of

350
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: Odell to dye his hair. That was just who he was.

351
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: But he stood out right away. There are ways in

352
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: which you can identify I think he was great too.

353
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: There are ways in which you can identify people. So

354
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: with the way they dress, is there is their introduction

355
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: they're marketing themselves. Is that something that's very important? That's

356
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: become just as important as learning your place.

357
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 4: Do you think I think it's as important? Is it

358
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 4: as important as you make it? You know, obviously there's

359
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 4: some not every guy in the league. It's a small

360
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 4: percentage of guy that really care to dress. You know

361
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. Obviously there's some positions.

362
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: They can dress and they can't. You're not going to

363
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: say that. I'm going to say that.

364
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I lead that to the comments. But I think

365
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 4: it's as important as you make it. If that's something

366
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 4: that you really invest in and really you know, love

367
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 4: and want to show yourself and express yourself in that moment,

368
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 4: I think it is that important. There's guys that, you know,

369
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 4: I don't want to say they dedicate their offseason too

370
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 4: it because like I said, you keep the main thing

371
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 4: the main thing, but they do take time to you know,

372
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 4: think about what they're wearing for each game. You know,

373
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 4: you get seventeen games for the season. Yeah, why not

374
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 4: take some time to coach? Just do it exactly.

375
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: And now that they're paying attention to WNBA, God bless

376
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: those ladies, they trying their best. Like So, the reality

377
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: is is that it doesn't mean it takes away from

378
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: the main thing. But it is truly a way to

379
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: introduce yourself and tell your story. And also I don't

380
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: care where anybody says I need storylines, that I need characters,

381
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: and so if my character is dressed, I'm paying attention,

382
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: good or bad, right, I'm talking about it. So I

383
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: truly believe that it is so integral in who you are.

384
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: It identified you, it is it is listening to the

385
00:16:59,320 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: music you like.

386
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think of Jeremiah Usu from The Brown I was.

387
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: Just thinking about my boyfriend, not my boyfriend, but he

388
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 1: is so damn fine, just thinking about my boyfriend because

389
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: he be Colleen and representing his culture exact day in

390
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: and day out. Okay, So for me, he to me

391
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: is everything. So you know what he's about, You know

392
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 1: what man he is. You know how he feels about

393
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: his heritage and his culture based on the way he

394
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: dresses exact. And that's why I feel like it's just

395
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 1: as important. How would you describe him?

396
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 4: I think I think one, he's you know, like you said,

397
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 4: you know what he's about. You know that he cares

398
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 4: for his culture, he cares for you know where he

399
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 4: comes from and what that has instilled in him, and

400
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 4: he showed that especially last year. Unfortunately this year he

401
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 4: got hurt. But I think he was going to continue

402
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 4: the same thing. But last year, you know, being able

403
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 4: to put together you know, cultural fits, traditional wear for

404
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 4: each game and tell a story with that in his

405
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 4: own Instagram.

406
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 3: I thought that was something that like he's faghana right, Yeah, yep,

407
00:17:58,960 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 3: I've ever seen that before.

408
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: We've never seen that before in that way. And then

409
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: and then when he would post everything that he was wearing,

410
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: he told a story with it. Yes, sly was a story.

411
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: He was like, let me tell you about my cultural heritage,

412
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 1: let me tell you about my ancestors, let me tell

413
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: you where I'm coming from and where I'm going. This

414
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: is why I feel like it's so important. We can

415
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 1: dismiss it as oh, it's just what they're wearing, but

416
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: if you do it with such intention, it is so special.

417
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

418
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 4: I mean it's a quote that you know, it's funny, Hirad.

419
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 4: I think this is a quote that he lives. Buys

420
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 4: how you do one thing, it's how you do everything

421
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 4: that's right. So I think about it when you go

422
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 4: to the I don't say a common person, but you

423
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 4: know the average person that's going to work. You don't

424
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 4: not think about what you're wearing when you're going to work,

425
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 4: like you don't put you don't not put effort into

426
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 4: what you're gonna wear it into the office just because

427
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 4: you might.

428
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: Know there are people who don't put effort.

429
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 3: Well, that's true, that's true.

430
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 4: But one doesn't dictate what happens in the other right,

431
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 4: just depending on what you're wearing. I should say, like

432
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 4: I'm trying to get to the point of like a

433
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 4: lot of people say, football players just need.

434
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 3: To worry about what's like the game, you know what

435
00:18:59,400 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 3: I'm saying.

436
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 4: But what's to say if I'm taking time to put

437
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 4: stuff in effort here, I'm still doing what I need

438
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 4: to hear. You know what does it matter even if

439
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 4: it's an off day. It has nothing to do with

440
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 4: the outfit, you know. But all in all to say,

441
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 4: I think how you do one things, how you everything?

442
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 4: So with him per se, I think culturally, and he

443
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 4: going into a story about how he got the pieces,

444
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 4: going back to the homeland and doing all that, Like

445
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 4: that's one of the things that I don't think a

446
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 4: lot of people really realize how much effort goes into it.

447
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 3: Like you can't get that right down the street.

448
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: We got a full stop so we can pay the bills.

449
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: We will be right back in just a few moments.

450
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: Welcome back to naked sports. So Moses has made it

451
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 1: clear with blitz fits, it's important not only to him

452
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: to show representation, but fashion for professional athletes is truly

453
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: their time to shine and show their personality, their heritage

454
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,239
Speaker 1: and as mentioned talk about their culture. Let's do a

455
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 1: cultural detour or just take a stop here, because I've

456
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: been at Ghana two three times and when I go

457
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: and when I have been, and I plan to visit

458
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: so many parts of Africa, I have to go to

459
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: the homeland. But when you go, two things, two things.

460
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: You first thing is you feel like welcome home. Like

461
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: that's the first thing you feel like. You feel like

462
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: when you when you set for me and you go there.

463
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: You don't go there just just look around. You go

464
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: there to learn. You want to know about the cult,

465
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: culture of the history. If you believe in your DNA ancestry,

466
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: you look up, you know what your percentage is. Mine

467
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 1: is mineus Nigerian and from and from Ghana. And so

468
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: I'm looking around and I want to know the stories

469
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: and I visit the I went to the castles where

470
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: they stole us and brought us here. It's just it's

471
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: a very beautiful, cultural, humbling experience, and you learn so

472
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: much about where we come from. That's why I'm really

473
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: a fan of his because I think it is important

474
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: and it does make people curious to learn about you are.

475
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: But the other thing is in Africa, they be dressed,

476
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,479
Speaker 1: they don't play. I got a whole I went to

477
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: a New Year's Eve outfit. I went to New Year's

478
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: Eve party my very first time is twenty eighteen, and

479
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't have anything to wear, and

480
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: the like, let's go find let's go buy some packy.

481
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 3: We got to go make it. Yep.

482
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: I was so clean. I was like, is this for me?

483
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 1: I felt like such a queen. Like I had the

484
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: head wrap, I had the lung. I was so regal,

485
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: and I was like, this is me, this is my culture,

486
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: this is who I am. I'm a queen. And I

487
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: understand why it's important for black people to dress. There

488
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: is something to that heritage of who we are, where

489
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: we come from. And this is crazy controversial, not really,

490
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: but do you feel like the first generation players in

491
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 1: the league dress better than the American player.

492
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't say I think.

493
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 4: I think in each category there's guys that are really

494
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 4: really dressing.

495
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 3: I think you would go toe to toe, yeah you could. Yeah, right.

496
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 4: There's some guys that dress in each category that dress well,

497
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 4: some guys that don't necessarily carry the dress as much.

498
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 3: So that's a good you know.

499
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: But there's something. There's something there. I don't know what

500
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: it is because I'm not in charge of bliss fits,

501
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: but I'm saying there's something.

502
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's also different, you know what I'm saying.

503
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 3: It's hard to take.

504
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 4: You know, Jeremiah when he's wearing put that up against

505
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 4: the Stefan Diggs, you know.

506
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: So much comparing the two. It is the understanding of

507
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: why it's not I got to be the cleanest man

508
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: on the field this way because I'm a king, yeah yeah,

509
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: represent as a king.

510
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

511
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 4: Now, traditional wear has a lot of a lot of

512
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 4: meaning to it and a lot of history to how

513
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 4: you know, a lot of this has even come about,

514
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 4: so yeah, I think it's just it might be is

515
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 4: it more sentimental? I think it has a little bit

516
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 4: more you know, there's a story behind it.

517
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we like the dress period, but it's gonna

518
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: cost you. We like to be Clayton. I'm gonna be cute.

519
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: I don't care what you say. Yeah, okay, so I'm

520
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,239
Speaker 1: sorry I interrupted. Now you are from I do this,

521
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: I digress. You are from first generation Rwanda. Tell me

522
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 1: about it.

523
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, so half for Wand and half Ivory Coast. My

524
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 4: dad's from Ivory Coast, my mom from Rwanda. So I

525
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 4: kind of have the best of both worlds, East and

526
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 4: West Africa. A lot of people when I meet them,

527
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 4: they say, like, I've never heard that mix before. Really, Yeah,

528
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 4: it's not often it's red that you'll probably find that.

529
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 3: So it's cool.

530
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 4: Like I had a chance to go back to Rwanda

531
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 4: in twenty nineteen and visit family and you know, see

532
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 4: life there, and I just love it. Rwanda's one of

533
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 4: the best countries in my opinion Africa. Obviously, you can

534
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 4: see a lot of the economic work they're doing there,

535
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 4: the different things that they're bringing there, like they brought

536
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 4: the NBA Africa Cup over there, So it's just a

537
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 4: great place to I think everybody should visit Rwanda.

538
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: I think that's so special. I think what they did

539
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: with Ghana, they should do for every one of these

540
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: countries so that people understand because if we were left

541
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: to our American knowledge, were looking at movies and we

542
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 1: think it's working, and it doesn't have and while that

543
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,959
Speaker 1: may still exist, there needs to be the celebration of

544
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: the beauty yeah country.

545
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think a lot of people will be surprised

546
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 4: on you know, how far you know advanced Africa is

547
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 4: and the enjoyment.

548
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 3: I think.

549
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 4: I think we've come a long way from how we

550
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 4: see it now to the point where I think December,

551
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 4: everybody's going back.

552
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: We're where we're going. I'm gonna take a visit. Everyone is.

00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, my wife is Nigerian, so we have to go

556
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: I get it wrong all the time.

566
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 3: It's a little bit of a little bit of mixture there.

567
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 1: Whenever I meet someone like like Sergei Baka, he was like,

Speaker 3: Tyrod because you you'll see one.

593
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 4: I think one thing I've learned with or like just

594
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 4: fashion in general is silhouettes or everything like how stuff

595
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 4: fits you. And I think Tyrod just does a great

596
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 4: job of putting pieces together that fit well. And Tyrod

597
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 4: and his he has a stylish which they collaborate on.

598
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 4: But I think Tyrod and himself he's still a stylish person,

599
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying.

600

Speaker 4: to get everything tailored, pants, shirt, suits, everything. So that's

620
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 4: another reason why I thought of blister fits is because

621
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 4: it's easy to dress. You know, if you're you have

622
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 4: the physique of a you know, basketball player, a soccer player,

623
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 4: but you gotta put a little bit more effort in.

624
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 4: If you're a big guy for whole lineman, d lineman,

625
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 4: you got broader shoulders, It's something that you got to

626
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 4: just put a little bit more effort in just because

627
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 4: of your physique.

628
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm thinking, I'm like and then by big too,

629
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 1: I'm talking I'm thinking of like big big boys, not

630
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: just like physically tall, but also size. Like who else

631
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: is dressed like that like big big boy?

632
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 4: I mean A sleeper is Morgan Moses. He plays for

633
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 4: the Jets, So he's one there.

634
00:27:54,359 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: We call those sleeper Yeah they do, don't. It's not

635
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 1: a his position. It's not like we talking about the center.

636
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: What he got on, right, No one cares.

637
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 4: Yeah you got you know Cody Ford from the Bengals.

638
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 4: He's one that dresses pretty well.

639
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 1: How okay, Then we have these these players that are

640
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 1: like the face of the league. Very few give me

641
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: back when he played, Tom Brady was always clean, but

642
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: that was because his wife was dressing him.

643
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 3: I'm sure. Yeah, Like he has more that Europeans.

644
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: He has that Europeans out. Somebody was like, look at

645
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: the whole brand, like he was packaged, you tell, like

646
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: it was like Ken Dall, you know what I mean,

647
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,120
Speaker 1: putting all the things together. But I think of these

648
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: players like Patrick Mahomes. I'm never looking at him and

649
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: thinking what's this we're wearing? But you like his style.

650
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 4: I think Pat has his suits on lot, you know

651
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 4: what I'm saying.

652
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a sue guy through and through.

653
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 4: I mean every I think home games will throw on

654
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 4: more of like the Cas Louis jacket and stuff like that, but.

655
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 3: The suitors, I think his suit game is.

656
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: Yah screamy because I would be like, I don't know,

657
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: I'm not for sure. Anybody doing a Tom Brady look

658
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: though that clean like the face of the lead and

659
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,719
Speaker 1: still put together like that. Because I have a comparison

660
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: for them for the NBA.

661
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 4: I mean, I would say, if you're thinking face of

662
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 4: the League, you have Pat you have because Kelsey.

663
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: You have like you like you like, oh yeah, Justice

664
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: and Jefferson you like you like the way Travis Kelsey dresses.

665
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 3: I do.

666
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 4: I think Travis has definitely evolved throughout the years. You know,

667
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 4: I think he's gone He's a guy that goes through

668
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,959
Speaker 4: eras like he's gone through it a lot. You look

669
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 4: at his evolution of his style has changed a lot.

670
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 4: So I think I think Travis definitely one that that

671
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 4: can dress.

672
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: Do you look at the Yes, the League of yesteryear,

673
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: like the League of the eighties and the nineties and

674
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: early two thousands, and how they used to dress compared

675
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: to what they do now, because to.

676
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 3: Me is now because I mean they had they had

677
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 3: more restrictions back.

678
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: Then, and their suits are just yeah, they very basic,

679
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: and so now there's more of a freedom to show who.

680
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 3: You are exactly. Yep.

681
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 4: And the League and just you know, outlets are taking

682
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 4: advantage of covering that those moments. So I mean, but

683
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 4: when I think back then, I think of Deon Sanders.

684
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 4: You know, that's probably one of the people that think

685
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 4: of that always. He kind of paved the way as well.

686
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, low key Dion started it. Not

687
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: he started a lot, but he low key started Like

688
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: how clean he remember he didn't he have the saying

689
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,959
Speaker 1: it looked good, feel good yet paid up, Yeah, all

690
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: the things like he was always clean. Now, it may

691
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: not have been what we wanted to wear, but he

692
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: puts some time into it and still played. He was

693
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: the first person to me that was mainstream that allowed

694
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: you to be like I can still look good and

695
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: ball out like there's there's the two are not mutually exclusive.

696
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: They go they can go together, and I love that

697
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: about him. He was one of the very first. I

698
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: don't think there was anybody else after that. I used

699
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: to it to your point, I think these athletes have

700
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: no style.

701
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think if we're talking about guys

702
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 4: that's paid the way obviously Dion. But I think if

703
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 4: we look more into our in the past couple of

704
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 4: you know, decade or so Odell, I think Odell's I

705
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 4: think Odell is the one that really paved the way

706
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 4: for like that cultural icon moment of football players after

707
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 4: d Why because I think Odell was one of the

708
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 4: ones that's really hanging with analyst celebrities, going to the

709
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 4: met gal like you guys.

710
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: That's really He was very much a part of the

711
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: fashion world.

712
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, not even fashion, just culture in general.

713
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: I think that what do you mean by that the

714
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: difference between two.

715
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 4: So I think the fashion world obviously. I think obviously

716
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 4: there's things that everybody pays attention to a few things

717
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 4: like right, music, food, fashion, entertainment, those things.

718
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:28,719
Speaker 3: He was in all those worlds.

719
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 4: So we're talking about hanging with a less celebrities, We're

720
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,479
Speaker 4: talking about that being at some of the biggest sporting

721
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 4: events outside of football. We're talking about being at some

722
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 4: of the award shows or you know, fashion moments.

723
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 3: I think he was one of the ones that you

724
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 3: see him everywhere.

725
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 4: You know, hanging out with Bieber, hanging out with Lebron,

726
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 4: or hanging out with like you know, Dre.

727
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: He just fitted yea. Everything about him was like, yeah,

728
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: that makes sense. It was it didn't feel off. He

729
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: was to me also one of the very first male

730
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: athletes that was okay with being metro, like it wasn't

731
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: a thing that it and then people might have questioned

732
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: his you know, being silly in question is sexuality. But

733
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: he was very metro. He was like, I'm doing this.

734
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: This looks good on me, like to me, because when

735
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: you live in those worlds, you have to be okay

736
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: with experimenting and trying different looks and different things, and

737
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: that felt very authentic to me.

738
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's I think fashion is if you

739
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 4: really want to establish yourself in the fashion world. I

740
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 4: think risk taking is a part of it, and I

741
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 4: think it's it's The thing about that is there's a

742
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 4: lot of people that like their parents and how they dress,

743
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 4: and people are going to say whatever they want sure

744
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 4: about it. And if that's what's stopping you, maybe fashion

745
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 4: might not be the place for you. But I think

746
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 4: being true to yourself and wearing what you like to wear,

747
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 4: I think that's what if you stay true to that, Like, you.

748
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: Know, you're giving me a lesson. You'd like to go

749
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: home and put on all the things I like?

750
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 3: Now what I do that is only I wear.

751
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 4: The stuff that I wear is I'm comfortable to me

752
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 4: and what I like, Sure I'm not the type that

753
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 4: might step out the box a little, but there needs

754
00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 4: to be people that do that.

755
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 3: You know, you have to.

756
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: See it first though, like some people don't have, Like

757
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: to your point about Odell, you know, he pat on

758
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: his his man person. We're like, live with this merse, okay,

759
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: and like everybody's merse. We're good. We're good. It's not crazy.

760
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: I'm on here, I got my merse. I need it,

761
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: and you're just like, okay, I saw or you know,

762
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: I can think of I think of and although you

763
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: do NFL, I think of the NBA, my equivalent, my

764
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: Tom Brady equivalent. And it's so easy and generic. But

765
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: this is recent for him is lebron Land stays clean

766
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: and he doesn't get enough credit for it. He'll come

767
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: in with some suits and you're like, wait, hold on,

768
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: who makes it? Like he just silhouettes to your point

769
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: with tyrad fits, tailored watches, everything, whether it's high fashion,

770
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: whether it's casual, whatever, he wants to do it, and

771
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: he lives and he could really live in those worlds

772
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: if he wanted to. He doesn't, though, and not not

773
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: on the outside looking in, but he is to me.

774
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: He and Chris Paul locked. When we come back, we

775
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: show a little love to our NBA players and Moses

776
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: talks about award season. Not necessarily the oscars are Golden globes,

777
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:11,280
Speaker 1: but how Blitz fits awards those with the best fits

778
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: in the NFL. It's truly a thing family back in

779
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: a moment. Quick question. This is truly truly subjective, which

780
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: means you can have your own opinion, but there's only

781
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:30,479
Speaker 1: one real answer. What player professional athlete? If you will

782
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: change the game for fashion, what professional athlete really made

783
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,280
Speaker 1: his or her mark with their style.

784
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 4: Lebron's definitely starting to a little bit more too, Like

785
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,399
Speaker 4: he's I think he's an LV ambassador now, so yeah,

786
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 4: he One thing I really can appreciate with guys is

787
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 4: whether they're dressed up or dressed down in sweats or

788
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 4: in a suit, Like they can make it look good.

789
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 3: I think Lebron does that.

790
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's definitely, especially he I think he's his more

791
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 4: mature years that he's really been stepping.

792
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: Remember he brought everybody to suits they were in the playoffs.

793
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: He was like, we're wearing suits and it just was

794
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: clean and they were all nice and put together, and

795
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: I was like, there's nothing wrong with that, Like I

796
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: like that look. I think of when everyone does the comparisons,

797
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: there is not to me, like I love me some Jordan,

798
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 1: God bless and again Jordan, we understand you have restrictions

799
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:19,919
Speaker 1: stay and you could only wear what you could wear.

800
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: But his dad jeans are still in rotation, and I'm

801
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: all like, oh wow, like just that's it, that's what

802
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,439
Speaker 1: I do. That's that's my look, singing with my jeans

803
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: up really high, and you're just like wow. I remember

804
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: meeting Jordan before I was even in sports. I remember

805
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: being in Atlanta and I was at a club and

806
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: it was a bunch of people there and he had

807
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: on a long sleeve red shirt, like just a long

808
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: sleeve red shirt. It could have been fancy, who knows,

809
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: it's just a long sleeve red shirt. And I'm like,

810
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: in what circumstance are we wearing just a long slee

811
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: You don't got to say it. I'm gon Sae, Jordan,

812
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: I love you, and Jeeves was like up to the

813
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: I was like, that has to be something that you

814
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: and I understand. That was the era of the big suits,

815
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,439
Speaker 1: like given magic and they big suits and they big

816
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: boxy suits and they thought they was doing it, and

817
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,439
Speaker 1: Chuck I still feel like and Shaq still they still

818
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: won't let that go. That's just a part of who

819
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: they are.

820
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 3: Some of that's coming back actually too.

821
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: But who looks good in it? Like not the old

822
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 1: from nineties. You're gonna do a new version of.

823
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're talking baggy suits. Travis Kelcey. Travis kelce does,

824
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 3: Yeah he looks good. Yeah. And Stefan did a couple

825
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 3: of looks like that too.

826
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: It's hard. I think style is really hard because, like

827
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: you said, I love me some Kobe, Kobe was clean. Yeah,

828
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:36,919
Speaker 1: but we weren't like damn, did.

829
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 3: You see we didn't look at him for fashion. We

830
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,720
Speaker 3: weren't looking No, he was not had his moments.

831
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had his moments. You know, you look good,

832
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: But it's hard to be the face of an entire

833
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: league and then also have that. And I think Lebron

834
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: just started to do that recently because he wasn't always

835
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: that way.

836
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think of also in the basketball Allen Iverson.

837
00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 1: Alan, he's a culture. He changed the game for everybody.

838
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: But it wasn't even so much about dressing up. It

839
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 1: was the idea. Alan Iverson I think told us that

840
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 1: we could be who we wanted to be. And then

841
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: that's when they started dressing it. And I think he

842
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: changed it for.

843
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 3: Everybody exactly exactly.

844
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true, everybody. He was culture. And now when

845
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 1: you wear when you wear the straight backs, it's it's fashionable.

846
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's back in.

847
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: It's fashionable. It's not like, oh, you're a thug. When

848
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: he was doing it, there's like, look at the tattoos.

849
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: He's so thuggish. Now it's art. It's art on my arms, right,

850
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: I have my hair is art. Everything about what we

851
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 1: see these players do today art. And if you want

852
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 1: to say who started, I would think Alan Iverson really

853
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: set it off for all athletes' not just within the

854
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: NBA but just NFL. All of it was just.

855
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 3: Really yeah, yeah, I'd agree. I would agree.

856
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 4: I think he had his stamp moment on, just like

857
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 4: the cultural fashion side of sports.

858
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: Who's your favorite NBA player in terms of my favorite

859
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: in terms of style.

860
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:54,760
Speaker 4: And style, That's a hard one. I'll probably say Devin Booker.

861
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 4: Really yeah, because I'm a simple guy. I go, he's

862
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 4: a simple guy too. I think he was doing like

863
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 4: a he did like a little fits from the street

864
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 4: there there Are another fashion page and they did a

865
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 4: little cover on him on what he's wearying to the game.

866
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 4: He just had a regular baggy jeans, gilded hoodie and

867
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 4: still made it look fly. That's my type of that's

868
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 4: my type of dressing. Like I like the basics. Make

869
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 4: it look clean, make it look fly, but you know

870
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 4: you're not gonna get too much, but you're gonna get enough.

871
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: Also, have that French you where you speak French, and

872
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: so that's very clean and minimalistic. So I think that

873
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: maybe that's what I just made up, right, Maybe I.

874
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 3: Let other things speak for me, even other languages.

875
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 1: So I'm curious with what's the obviously I know, I

876
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: mean I could assume how did you get the title

877
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: of bloods Fits? Where do it come from?

878
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 4: Man, that's funny because I was sitting there actually a

879
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 4: couple of friends of mine that were at the p

880
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 4: at the time that left, now we were I was

881
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 4: just sitting there, like, Man, I want to start this.

882
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 3: I don't know what to call it. I think about you.

883
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 4: Know, grid iron fits or like just other football names

884
00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 4: that resonate like terminology and football. And one day I

885
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 4: was actually at my at the times my girlfriend We're

886
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 4: at her apartment. She's my wife now, just saying yeah

887
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 4: out to Ugo. But I was sitting there, I'm like,

888
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 4: bliz fits. I think that's it right there.

889
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 3: I just think about blitz split all out blistering.

890
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 1: Thought, yeah, that's what I was thinking. Because you was

891
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: that you were a d lineman. I was like, was

892
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 1: he taking all you know?

893
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 4: Just like, okay, exactly, yeah that was my main my

894
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 4: main thing is to go get the quarterback.

895
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: So but it still makes sense. I just wanted to take.

896
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 4: Over exactly exactly all out blitz. So bliz fits. And

897
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,240
Speaker 4: once I said that, I was like, oh yeah, this sticks,

898
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 4: this sticks, so you know, made it started everything, I

899
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,800
Speaker 4: g website everything, and then the rest is history.

900
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 3: Yeah.

901
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: Do you ever feel like you're in competition because I

902
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 1: know that this is like a lot of influencers people,

903
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 1: and I don't. Would you identify yourself as an influencer.

904
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 4: Nah, I wouldn't. Not myself. I wouldn't call myself an influencer.

905
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 4: I like to think of myself as more of like

906
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 4: a storyteller sense, okay, yeah, that's what I would say.

907
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 4: I think I don't necessarily I'm more of a behind

908
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 4: the scenes type of guy like this is probably you know,

909
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 4: I know, I got to start doing this more.

910
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 3: That's what I've been told.

911
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 4: But like I would do that, you know, just just

912
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 4: some consultants and stuff. But I like to really be

913
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 4: behind the scenes and you know, have people tell their story,

914
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 4: use the platform to really share who they are and

915
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 4: tell those stories. Right, So I wouldn't consider myself an influencer.

916
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 4: Maybe the page itself is influencing.

917
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's interesting because it is the It is

918
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 1: the way in which we live today. Like we expect

919
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: people to ask what you wear doing there are pages

920
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: you go to to look for this information the scenes

921
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: wearing well, who looks it's an honor, Like it's like me.

922
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,280
Speaker 3: B yeah, it's crazy.

923
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 1: It's really truly something that people take pride in.

924
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, what I really love the most is the players

925

Speaker 4: that really like you know, love it and take pride

926
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 4: in being featured on the page. Because you know, that's

927
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 4: really who I had in mind when I made the page, right,

928
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 4: the players that are in the league that want a

929
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,479
Speaker 4: place to show themselves in that light. Obviously, the people

930
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,760
Speaker 4: that have come along and you looked at it for inspiration,

931
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 4: like that means a lot to me too, but being

932
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 4: able to talk to a player. I think one time

933
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 4: I met a player and he didn't know it was me,

934
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 4: and then the moment I told him, he just went crazy,

935
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 4: like he was like what.

936
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 3: He just hype?

937
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: How that make you feel?

938
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:23,439
Speaker 4: It just made me feel like, oh, this is really

939
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 4: a thing, Like I guess we're really we're really doing something.

940
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 4: So it just means a lot to be able to see, like,

941
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 4: you know, the page is really influencing people to even

942
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 4: explore that side of things, like guys are trying to

943
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 4: get featured and trying to be on the page in

944
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 4: the season.

945
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: Well, that goes back to my whole original point of dressing.

946
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,760
Speaker 1: It's not just that simple. Yeah, I'm not just trying

947
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 1: to be clean. I'm saying something. I'm identifying myself. Some

948
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: people aren't articulate. Some people express themselves creating creatively with

949
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:55,240
Speaker 1: what they wear or what they create. And a creation

950
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: is what you wear. In my mind, I think I'm

951
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: gonna do this, and oh I'm gonna be now. I

952
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: don't know if he was one of these little kids

953
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 1: when you got dressed or when you would try on

954
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 1: new clothes, you'd be in the mirror. You just start dancing.

955
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: It's cute. I've had those moments, would be like, yeah,

956
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: and you don't do that.

957
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 3: I mean I might have moments like that, Yeah, like

958
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 3: I was.

959
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,399
Speaker 1: Going to go shot today. I try to and I'd

960
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 1: be like, oh, kill him. I don't like that.

961
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 3: I mean I'm that exactly, but I'm like, you don't

962
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 3: do this.

963
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 4: You as my wife, she might tell you something different,

964
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 4: but you know, I can look at something like Okay, yeah,

965
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 4: this is it right here.

966
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm kill off. If I was single, it'd be

967
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 1: crazy to beat him off. Me crazy. This is why

968
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: I laugh because I like, for instance, I think of

969
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 1: certain players like dMar DeRozan. He doesn't he doesn't. He

970
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: was sweats. Yeah, I'm sweats. I'm ath leisure. I put

971
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: on pants. It's a big deal, you know, if I'm

972
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,359
Speaker 1: going outside with pants and it's a big deal. He's

973
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,439
Speaker 1: just comfortable, that's like, but it's still clean, it's still

974
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: his style. It is who he is. And then I

975
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 1: look at other players and I wonder how important it

976
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: is to them to do that, because, for for instance,

977
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: it is their creative expression that once a week, whether

978
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 1: it's five minutes or ten minutes, that once a week.

979
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 1: How do you get all of the images? So if

980
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:16,399
Speaker 1: I go on your page, I'm like, do you hire

981
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: a freelancer? I know you can't be everywhere all time.

982
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 4: Yeah. No, So it's it's come from different avenues. So

983
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:23,959
Speaker 4: now we've started working with teams where you know, teams

984
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 4: will collaborate with us on their game day entrance.

985
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 3: It is so Yeah, we know a lot.

986
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 4: Of photographers that we work with around you know, the

987
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 4: country that you know they shoot for players. A lot

988
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 4: of players have their own personal photographers that they send

989
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 4: things over to us.

990
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 3: Players are dming us.

991
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 1: You know, I was going to say, I know players

992
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: be like, so did you see this? Yeah, players don't

993
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: forget the side.

994
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 3: You'll be surprised.

995
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,839

00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,879
Speaker 4: the regular season. Basically, what we'll do is we'll bring

00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:36,160

1029
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:08,719

00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 3: Matter what it is, what matter what it is.

00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 1: it craziest story. You ain't got to talk about him

1044
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: per se. But what's the craziest story. So you put

1045
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 1: him on third team and he was like, you can't

1046

1047
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, he took it that serious. Took it that serious.

1048
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 4: And then and then that was in our DMS, and

1049
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,919
Speaker 4: then later on I saw him in person. He didn't

1050
00:45:59,920 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 4: know who I was at the time. To introduced myself.

1051
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,880

Speaker 4: So he didn't take it that serious, but like you know,

1055
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 4: he was like, y'all playing me a little bit.

1056
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 1: Oh, I feel the way. I understand that.

1057
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean it's tough, man.

1058
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 4: You have so many guys that dress well and there's

1059
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 4: only so many, you know, spots in my opinion, like

1060
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 4: there if you make any of the teams.

1061
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 3: I think that's you know, amazing.

Speaker 1: very like so you know, it's very hard. It's difficult.

1064
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:33,799
Speaker 1: I can understand, and I understood at least top twenty.

1065
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:35,799
Speaker 1: I appreciate that as opposed to be I'm like, ah,

1068
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 3: That's the game. That's the game for a lot.

1069
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: That's by the way. When that's the response that you

1070
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: can take that with, someone can make you crazy, say, sir,

1071
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 1: were talking about practice. That's not the game. I like

1072
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: that w today. I like we're talking about practice, although

1073
00:46:58,520 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 1: for them that is the game. I agree.

1074
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:01,480

Speaker 3: It's not in place.

1079
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 1: Ready to break some news, No, not yet, not yet.

1080
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 3: So the way it works is, obviously there's always an

1081
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 3: m v P.

1082
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 4: There's always a Rookie of the Year that we crowned,

1083
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,879
Speaker 4: and then we have off its first team, second team,

1084
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,359
Speaker 4: and third team. We also have an award for best

1085
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 4: Dressed big Man, so a line d line.

1086
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: Those horse dress.

1087
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 4: We have a board Okay, yeah, we have a most Improved.

1088
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 4: So that's that's somebody.

1089
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 1: Who's been most improved in the past.

1090
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 4: Last year was another sleeper, Jordan Fuller. He's with the

1091
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 4: Panthers this year, Like, I think he really invested into

1092
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 4: those moments as well. Like and the thing that most

1093
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 4: improved is we're not ever saying like, oh, this guy

1094
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 4: was trashed last year, but but nah, there's some guys

1095
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 4: that you know, they didn't really think about it that much.

1096
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 4: But this year they're like, I'm gonna put the effort

1097
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 4: into this, okay, and we notice it.

1098
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 3: So I think that's one of the ways.

1099
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 1: That is there a team people or you make up

1100
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,359
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's a team. How big is the team?

1101
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:05,919
Speaker 4: Even if it was just me, I'll say it's a team.

1102
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to get that heat. But now we

1103
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:10,439
Speaker 4: do have a team.

1104
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: There's about twenty people working on this.

1105
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:14,959
Speaker 3: Well we have this is like at.

1106
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: Night just me.

1107
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, now we got a team for sure. We definitely

1108
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:19,919
Speaker 3: got a team.

1109
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:21,359
Speaker 1: Okay, good for you.

1110
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it would drive you crazy if it was just me. Yeah.

1111
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 4: Even the day before we release it, we're like switching

1112
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 4: slides and changing.

1113
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 1: This is like you, it's contemplation. There's Scott, there's effort

1114
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 1: put into this and you just putting this together. So

1115
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:36,240
Speaker 1: people should really be honored.

1116
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean a lot of guys are honored, Like

1117
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 4: a lot of guys you know are sharing the teams

1118
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 4: or sharing it. So it does mean a lot to

1119
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 4: them and that that's humbling to me, just to know

1120
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:48,280
Speaker 4: that people appreciate being on any of these teams.

1121
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: And it's all positive. You don't have somebody, do you have?

1122
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: Because there are a couple of outfits that I can

1123
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 1: think of, and I'd be like, I can't believe he

1124
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:56,879
Speaker 1: did that. There's just some over the years you're like, oh,

1125
00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:00,919
Speaker 1: like when you think about when people get dry? Yeah,

1126
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: now do you have a special Draft day edition? Like

1127
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 1: we the what we and by we I mean the

1128
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 1: fans love when someone is wearing something so ridiculous and

1129
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 1: I'll never wear it again, like we always Jalen I

1130
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 1: think of Jalen Rose. I love him, he's a friend

1131
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,799
Speaker 1: of mine, but we will never not pull out his

1132
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 1: Draft day outfit because it was trash. Yeah, and so

1133
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:19,879
Speaker 1: he just laughed. He was like, no, but I'm from

1134
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: the D and I was killing it here. You're wrong, back,

1135
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 1: I was the best. Do you do Draft day outfits

1136
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 1: where you're just like.

1137
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,760
Speaker 3: This is yeah, yeah, definitely.

1138
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 1: Nothing awful though you don't say anything bad.

1139
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 4: It's all nah, I think because like like the like

1140
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 4: I said before, subjective, you know, some mighty somebody might

1141
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,720
Speaker 4: not like it, but somebody else might like it. Somebody

1142
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,799
Speaker 4: might try that, somebody might not. So I don't think

1143
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 4: we'll ever post something to bash a guy. That's just

1144
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 4: not how you go up.

1145
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's just not me as a personal comments.

1146
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 1: Well I love that about it.

1147
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, comments, the comments will do it.

1148
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: Leave it to the comments.

1149
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 3: Leave it to the comments. But we're posting it. We're

1150
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:53,240
Speaker 3: not posting it.

1151
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: To talk bad about it.

1152
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:54,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean.

1153
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,399
Speaker 1: So when I if you put me thirteen, I'm gonna

1154
00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:00,120
Speaker 1: have a real problem for real, Like if you do it,

1155
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:01,839
Speaker 1: like because I go down the list and it ain't

1156
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 1: that many they're dress nice. So I'm gonna go be

1157
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 1: mad if you put me the thirteen. Moses, I'm coming

1158
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 1: to find you. What's just that dress? Oh? Do we

1159
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 1: have his home address? And you will find.

1160
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 3: It a fake one?

1161
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 1: Drop your location.

1162
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 3: You dressed well too, you know. Ever since I've been

1163
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:18,320
Speaker 3: watching you for years.

1164
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 1: I think that I was there was I'm not saying

1165
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 1: that I'm the best dress, but I do believe before

1166
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 1: like there was a time where women had to wear

1167
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 1: baggy suits and sports. They couldn't feel like they were women.

1168
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: They wanted you to dress like a dude. And then

1169
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: I was like, that just makes no sense. That makes sense.

1170
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you shouldail your I feel like

1171
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: I started, especially at ESPN, you could ask anybody they

1172
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: was dressed like they had on baggy suits they were wearing.

1173
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: They were like, her skirts are too short. I was like,

1174
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: mind your business, I'm grown, mind your business. Or nobody

1175
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 1: was wearing heels? You too tall, you don't need to

1176
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 1: wear heels. I was like, mind your business. Like I didn't.

1177
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 1: I did not care because and not that that was

1178
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:55,840
Speaker 1: what I went in to do, but that was just

1179
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 1: what made me comfortable. That was my creative expression.

1180
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,719
Speaker 4: Say who I was, you're stepping and that's the same,

1181
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 4: the same mindset you have there is what a lot

1182
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 4: of guys are taking into that tunnel moment, like this

1183
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 4: is who I am, this is how I want to

1184
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,919
Speaker 4: express myself, and I don't really care what people say.

1185
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:13,840
Speaker 1: You know, I've got a few questions before I let

1186
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: you go, But do some rapid fire. How important is

1187
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: a tunnel moment for an athlete?

1188
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 4: On a scale of one to ten, I think it's

1189
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:23,399
Speaker 4: very important. I think some guys obviously face the guys

1190
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:25,920
Speaker 4: are the faces of the league. You know, whatever they

1191
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 4: wear is going to get featured no matter what. But

1192
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 4: I think for the guys that that might be one

1193
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 4: of their few moments throughout the league, and they're capitalizing

1194
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 4: off of that. They start to see that they get

1195
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,760
Speaker 4: more of those moments, you know, throughout the throughout the season,

1196
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 4: throughout the year. Morelet's start to pick them up. So

1197
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:41,800
Speaker 4: I think it's very important.

1198
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, some money exactly. Yeah.

1199
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 4: There's guys that we started featuring on our page that

1200
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 4: you know wouldn't be like the A List guys or

1201
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 4: bless guys, but because they had those that consistency with

1202
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 4: their fits, yea, more and more people started to feature them.

1203
00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 3: You know, it's top fist.

1204
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 1: What's universal slash brand that looks good for the most

1205
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: part on the players, there's like it is everybody I'm

1206
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 1: making up something? Yeah, does everyone deal with a certain

1207
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 1: stylist or a certain tailor or does everyone love to

1208
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 1: wear a J I'm you know, I don't know. Is

1209
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 1: there something universally that you've seen over and over again

1210
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 1: on different players that oh ye good.

1211
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 4: I think this year the well, if we're just talking

1212
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 4: about pieces that a lot of guys are wearing, I

1213
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 4: think the georts, like the denim studied jeorts, jeans shorts,

1214
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 4: I think guys were especially in earlier in the season.

1215
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:34,840
Speaker 3: Guys were wearing that for sure, Ax.

1216
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 1: And George.

1217
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was taking over a lot more that streetwear style.

1218
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 4: I would say those were some of the pieces that

1219
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 4: were really like stand up, you know, stand out. But

1220
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 4: obviously you have the lv's guys pulling up in the

1221
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 4: lv's the beanies that they dropped, A lot of guys

1222
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 4: were wearing those, so there's a lot of different pieces.

1223
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:55,359
Speaker 4: You'll start to see like it's because there's so many

1224
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 4: guys in the league. You'll end up wearing something one

1225
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 4: day and not even realize that the player on another

1226
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 4: team across the country wore that same thing, you know

1227
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 4: what I mean. And it's just because those are some

1228
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 4: of the pieces that were in the NBA, you have

1229
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 4: less guys, so the chances of you guys wearing the

1230
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 4: same thing, especially if it's a new release or something

1231
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 4: that just dropped the slimmer.

1232
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the the overall consensus is this this season,

1233
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: it was Jeorgeannasis.

1234
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, George.

1235
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 4: I would say a six Moore was last season and

1236
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:24,399
Speaker 4: spilled into this season a little bit more. I think,

1237
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 4: what are those boots? There were like these specific boots

1238
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 4: that guys are wearing this year. I don't know if

1239
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:33,720
Speaker 4: it was Lesciaga or Louis Ers or one of those boots.

1240
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 4: There's like these big boots that.

1241
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 3: Are brown and black. I gotta find the name of it.

1242
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 4: But that was another one that guys were really wearing

1243
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:43,439
Speaker 4: a lot of Raspberry Hills is a brand that guy's wearing.

1244
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 3: It's more of a sweats hoodie and sweats type of thing.

1245
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 1: I think. I think that I think that that's interesting

1246
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 1: because I know that there are popular things that they

1247
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:54,320
Speaker 1: all wear and I wouldn't know. That's why i'm asking

1248
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:55,400
Speaker 1: you with you the expert.

1249
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:57,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't call myself expert because even

1250
00:53:57,440 --> 00:53:58,880
Speaker 3: some things I'm looking on you like, I don't know

1251
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 3: what that is. I don't know what brand. It looks good,

1252
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 3: it looks good, it looks nice.

1253
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. Then my other question for you is we've

1254
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 1: named a lot of players in terms of who is

1255
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 1: your favorite. You gave us your favorite for Tyrod, you

1256
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: gave us your favorite was Devin Booker in the NBA.

1257
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 1: It's it's so interesting because in other leagues, I would

1258
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 1: even say, like in hockey, I don't think that this

1259
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,800
Speaker 1: would be a thing. And hockey. Yeah, that's why I

1260
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 1: know it's cultural. That's why I know it has something

1261
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:25,280
Speaker 1: to do with who we are as a people because

1262
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 1: in hockey, I look, I don't think that they like

1263
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 1: what we got today. It might be one or two,

1264
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: but it's it's not a thing, you know what I

1265
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 1: mean the way that it is for us. So I

1266
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 1: wonder who would you say, what athlete NBA or NFL

1267
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:45,320
Speaker 1: and it can be two really transitioned the idea or

1268
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 1: excuse me, brought to the mainstream, if you will, the

1269
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:50,520
Speaker 1: idea that you can do both, that you can look

1270
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 1: good on the field and you can yeah well as well.

1271
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs, I think that's you think he set it

1272
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:59,760
Speaker 1: off for everybody, well historically historically historically.

1273
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 4: Oh, I mean, if we're talking historically, we named a

1274
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 4: couple of them, Beyon Sanders, Okay, Ellen Iverson. If we're

1275
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 4: looking even way back, who is it that wore the

1276
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 4: for the furry coat?

1277
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:11,400
Speaker 1: Was it.

1278
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:14,759
Speaker 3: A furry coat?

1279
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 1: But so did well Chamberlain. They all have to at

1280
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 1: the in the day Magic had he was he was clean.

1281
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it really depends on what area you're

1282
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:23,280
Speaker 3: thinking about.

1283
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about. I can't say that even though we

1284
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:28,879
Speaker 1: can name those guys. I think the fur coat, yes,

1285
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:30,759
Speaker 1: I think that was a trend. I think athletes have

1286
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,439
Speaker 1: always lived on that line, But I'm thinking who really

1287
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 1: affected it and everyone was like, look at what he did,

1288
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 1: I can do the same. I think Dion and Adam

1289
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:41,240
Speaker 1: that's been great historically. I think those two are great.

1290
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:45,479
Speaker 4: Are definitely because they they they challenged the status quote

1291
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:49,400
Speaker 4: correct and fashion and it's just whatever they did.

1292
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:51,320
Speaker 1: It's how when you do one thing, that's how you

1293
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 1: doing it earlier. So yeah, I see. And then when

1294
00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 1: you do this for women, do you think have you

1295
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 1: ever thought blitz her fits? I mean, have you ever

1296
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:05,960
Speaker 1: thought of doing something for women? Because we are having

1297
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:08,759
Speaker 1: our moment in sports, it's more than a moment, it's

1298
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 1: here to say.

1299
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:10,719
Speaker 3: Definitely, definitely not.

1300
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:13,879
Speaker 4: I've definitely had a lot of pitches to me about

1301
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 4: that and a lot of thought has gone into it.

1302
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:20,240
Speaker 4: You know, we are the growth of girls flag football

1303
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 4: is big. You never know, we never know what that's

1304
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 4: gonna come down to. But I'm definitely open to that

1305
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:29,359
Speaker 4: and seeing what we could do in that space as

1306
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 4: it continues to evolve. But yeah, I'll never say.

1307
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 1: Does it have to be flag football? Could it be

1308
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 1: regular football, could it be sports in general? I mean yeah,

1309
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 1: but also you want to get the same theme.

1310
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 4: I will say, like when it comes to fashion outlets

1311
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 4: for sports, I think there have been so there's like

1312
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 4: other ones like League Fits for basketball. You have now

1313
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 4: one overseas footballer fits for soccer soccer football. So I

1314
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:55,839
Speaker 4: think every respective sport has been growing. But I think,

1315
00:56:56,520 --> 00:57:00,359
Speaker 4: you know, for me, it's like how can we bring

1316
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 4: it in, whether it be I've had the pictures of

1317
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 4: what is it the stylists that are women that are

1318
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 4: styling a lot of these guys, like finding ways to

1319
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 4: highlight them, which there are a lot that are that

1320
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 4: are that are killing it, killing it. So yeah, there's

1321
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 4: definitely ways that we want to continue to see how

1322
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:15,320
Speaker 4: we can highlight, you know, more of the women on

1323
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 4: our platform.

1324
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 3: So I love it. I might have to talk to

1325
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 3: you about that.

1326
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and in that way that encourages them being

1327
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: a step up their game a bit because it's hard.

1328
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 1: It's hard to be as you talked about being a

1329
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 1: big person, it's hard to be a tall woman size

1330
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 1: thirteen shoe and you got to be you're the level

1331
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 1: of trauma you deal with growing up. My friend, she

1332
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 1: is six three. She has been wearing a size twelve

1333
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 1: since she was in the like eighth grade. Can you imagine?

1334
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:42,439
Speaker 3: Yeah I can't.

1335
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:44,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't see how you are.

1336
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:47,760
Speaker 3: I mean, I have my own I have my own issue.

1337
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 3: So I grew up wearing husky pants. You know, I

1338
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 3: had to. I had to find ways and make it

1339
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 3: worse so I can relate, But not like the height

1340
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 3: type of thing. I'm relatively tall, but I'm tall.

1341
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:01,440
Speaker 1: I'm a normal tall. I'm five to ten. It's a

1342
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 1: normal tall, and I wear heels. I embraced my height.

1343
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 1: But when I was the sixth grade, Philip King used

1344
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:07,840
Speaker 1: to talk to me about how tall I was and

1345
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 1: how big my feet were. Imagine fighting over that as

1346
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 1: a woman. So now we need to highlight these extra

1347
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 1: tall women who were doing their best running around here

1348
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 1: with size fourteen shoes. Got to make them feel normal.

1349
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:20,600
Speaker 1: And I think let's normalize the four T shoes for women.

1350
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 3: And I think like leaf Fish, Yeah.

1351
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 1: Wrong, everybody in here last my people ain't right.

1352
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 4: I will say Leafish and those guys over there, I

1353
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 4: as one of my guys that runs leaf As.

1354
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:32,840
Speaker 3: They're doing a great job of highlight and just the

1355
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 3: WNBA yeah what they did in that space.

1356
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, they're working on it. They're getting there, ladies, ladies,

1357
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 1: here we come. Once again. They forgot about us, but

1358
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:43,959
Speaker 1: I'm still bringing this back, a normalized size fourteen for women.

1359
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 1: Let's not not here. He said he couldn't imagine. I can,

1360
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:48,919
Speaker 1: so let's know I can't.

1361
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 3: I can't relate. I can imagine, though, you know what.

1362

Speaker 1: Moses, weird teasing you so are right now. Thank you
