• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the impact that you've had on us is to speak
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: for real, Like we grew up in the era where
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: you had to have poble Like that was you going
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: back to school this time of the year, all the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: kids getting ready. I need that fit to go back
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to school. Oh mom passing that a lot.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: I need that jersey. You was talking about the Platinum
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Foobo the Fat Hour all in.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I got a real question though, Yeah, because I got
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: one jersey a school picture.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: I only got one school picture.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: They know about my school picture my mom and five
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: school pictures, but I had a football jersey.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Oh five. The next year my mom came, she got
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: me a ninety two.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Uh huh, Like people were killing me, Like what was
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: the switch from the old somebody's birthday.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Son or daughter? No, so we formally.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: I started in eighty nine and I closed it down
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: three times from eighty nine to ninety two. Okay, right,
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: So ninety two actually as well out here for Fanatic
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: was the first time that I actually bought a little
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: booth the size of this this area we're at and
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: did the Black Expo at Javit Center. Oh, first time
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: I officially did it because I said I needed partners
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: like you guys, and so we launched the ninety two,
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: but you know, five, we went back to the five
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: number because the whole story is the reason why we
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: had a five one. It was we wanted to be
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: like a rapper, balls wanted to be rappers, right, so
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: we wanted to be five of us. But that fifth
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: member never stuck around. There's ten people running around the
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: town talking about you know, I'm the fifth member of Fubu.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: So that's why we called it five.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: But what happened was when we started putting the MTV
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: and foodbull got really big MTV and BT, they started
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: blurring the logo because they said, you gotta pay us.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: So we started putting just the five in there because
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: they know you wouldn't blur O five because it was
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: like a sports figure the sports jersey. But nobody had
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: started five yet because remember five didn't come around. We
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: weren't ninety eight ninety nine. So we ended up trademarking
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: the old five. And we're one of the only companies
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: in the world that have a trademark on a number
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: because we trademarked the number.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: O five before it actually existed.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Wow, And that's why we went back to Old five
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: to keep that trademark, and people started knowing the clothes
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: by Old five and not even fooble.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: With me hens on his day and he eats something
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: a little bit different.

  Speaker 4: Well, I grew up in New York, so I think that, uh,
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: the first one everywhere was Brand Nubian's. And then I
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: then Miss Jones and then Method Man in the ice
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: cream video a couple, and then like Onyx they wore
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: too because Onix used to be my barber. They used
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: to be they used to cut my head with. So
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: we all grew up in Hollis Queen's right here and
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: so everybody, and you know, I walk a flock of
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: Mom and I we were kids.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: We were probably about we grew up together, so we're
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: probably like sixteen years old.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: And then I remember when Walker was around as a
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: kid and across the street, and I used to go
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: on tour with IRV Gotti and Hype Williams. And then
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: I tried to get Houdini too, because I was actually
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: I actually auditioned for Houdine to be a breakdancer for them,
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: and I wrote about it my first book that my
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: mother said, I actually got accepted to be a breakdancer
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: for Houdini. And I told my mother sixteen years old,
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: I'm going on on tour with Houdini. She's like, boy,
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: get your ass up the room. I see the next
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: year video with this little Jerry currowhead kid called the
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: Jermaine Dupre dancing around in that damn video, and I
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: Remember he took my job. So I threw a pious business.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean a lot of people don't know.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Jermaine used to dance.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: That was amazing.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Man, there was just so many jewisers dropped in that
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: statement right there. But I rewinded to kiss some of
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: that for sure. But like you said, I want to
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: go back to how it started. You always talking about
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: we talked about black excellence. Food was a staple. But
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: well people don't talk about enough. Is that being a
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: successful business ran by us?
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: How did that form? How did you guys to get together?
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: And how did y'all you know what I'm saying persevere
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: to those earlier harships.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: Well, as I said, I failed in eighty nine three
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: times to ninety two. I said to my friends, I
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: want to start this, They said, I want to be
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: down right. We were coming up in Hollis Queens, and
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: in Hollis Queens you had, like in many of our communities,
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: you only had two things to do.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Try to become a rapper or a drug dealer.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Right, because even though there were many people who are professionals,
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: they'd come out to Manhattan and work, we wouldn't see them.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: You come out to school three o'clock in the afternoon.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: You don't see the professional because they're busy working, doing
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: their job, trying to feed their family. Right, So we
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: didn't want to be We didn't want to be drug dealers,
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: but my friends were all drug dealers. So I decided
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: I didn't want to sell drugs.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: My friend.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: That is actually what became one of the biggest drug
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: dealers is the movie they made Belly about DMX, and
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: he believed that me, you know, because I told you
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: we made the movie about and I used to it.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: He believed that we had more, we had a brighter
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: future doing other things. So every time, you know, we
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: get in the car if he had drugs and play said,
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: get out, you're better than this. Get out, you're better
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: than this. And he did that to my other three friends.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: All of a sudden, nobody wanted to talk to us
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: because we out here making clothes. Now. Remember the hip
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: hop community is a very homophobic community, right, so think
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: about this, nineteen ninety two, hip hop's flourishing. My friends
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: are selling drugs. They're like, why you come on hang out,
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: We're gonna go do some of it. And I'm like, yo,
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: I got a strawberry pattern at home. I'm gonna go
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: home and make some shirts. At that time, when you
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: really thought of about the designers, they were you know,
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: called Lagafel right or Basachi or people like that. They
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: weren't making for us by us. It was only called
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: and I, which we looked up to. So we really
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: got pushed out of the community at that time. They
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: were like, I ain't eve mess with them cats, you
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: know what I mean.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: And so it was just us.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: But now all of a sudden, we started dressing people,
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: you know, and we started hooking people up. We started
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: really hitting up the four and five X guys going
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: on in the video sets. Because I didn't have enough
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: money for a lot of shirts, I made fifty shirts,
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: and I made fifty shirts that were five X and
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: six X, and I gave them all to the bodyguards.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: And those bodyguards were in front of the Red Rope,
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: they were in front of the music ards, they were
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: in front of LL and Run, DMC and Salt and Pepper,
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: and people started seeing them, and then the artists started
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: asking for the clothes because they saw those guys were
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: in it. Because those guys didn't have a lot of
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: fashionable choices. They could either go to Rochester Big and
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Toll and get a white shirt or a black shirt.
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: They get some custom now a sudden, they got a
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: shirt they can wear ten times a month.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: And that's how we really really started. I was wearing five. Yeah.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: Well even even even as we blow up, even if
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: you are an extra small, we cut the We cut
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: the tie out and put a two X in it
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: so you felt big.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: What did I start out with first was a hats?
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: T shirts?
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Like what was? We went and bought them?
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: Uh So at first I did that, and you know what,
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: the first time I saw them last night after thirty years,
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: and the first time I got to thank Daylight Soul
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: for for doing that video with the hat that looked
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: like a ski cap at the time the top. So
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: that was the hat that I can easily sell. So
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: that was the first thing we started off with. Okay,
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: then we did T shirts and then I invested and
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: I bought. I bought twenty blank c CN Y cause
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: c c c CM c CM hockey jerseys and I
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: put the big FB on those hockey jerseys.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: That's all we started out with.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Wow, I went through the moon to move to the
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Mandy I know how many people like was fighting everywhere
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: to get that type of stuff, like literally the back
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: to school, the photos, the fresh family fist is.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: You add to get a food fit.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we loved it, man, it was it was It's
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: kind of like a rite of passage and stuff like that,
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: and it was it was great.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: What was the year that you knew that y'all took
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: was taken off for real?
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: We took off really in ninety seven ninety eight, that
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: was that was really the year. That was the year
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: that it just imploded. I mean I even exploded boom.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: It just went everywhere because first we were we were
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: wearing it right, and then bands like in Sync and
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: all those other ones started wearing it, so it started
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: to pop everywhere and everywhere.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: That's what I have. I think they had a baby
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: boo jerseys in the video.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: I think about it, yeah, because their manager was the
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: same manager as Boys and Men, and we knew every
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: when they were like, yo, we want them to be
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: able to be cool, but nobody else, nobody else wuld
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: dress them because the color of their skin in the
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: hip hop community, and I thigured, you know, listen, I
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: think that's being a bigot. You know, we're not again,
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: we're pro black, we're not anti anything else. And when
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: you wore it, uh, and then now you had l
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: wearing it, you had in Sync wearing it, you had
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: the Backstreet Boys wearing it, you had uh yeah, you
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: had everybody. So and then it's sort of popping up
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: and like the Martin Show, the Jamie Fox Show, in
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: Living and all those other shows.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Jamie, I'm a yellow one.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah in LL.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: And then that's when LL, right around ninety eight did
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: that commercial where he put Fubu in the Gap commercial.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Damn oh I did about that?
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a if you ever throw it up, it's
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: it's LL and the Gap commercial going for us by
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: us on the low. And because none of the executives
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: a GAP cared or knew about our culture. I don't
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: care if you black, white, are and different, they heard that.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: Remember this before social media existed, but the internet existed.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: That commercial aired for six weeks and there's no hashtag
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: hitting them up going you know, fail you played yourself
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: and the kids in the mayorroom they're like, oh, idiot's
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: upstairs on know what's going on? And so they spent
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: thirty million dollars airing fooble ads.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Wow, the best marketing campaign. You have another brand to
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: do it for you.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: But you know the best thing I love about this
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: the gap by it everybody right. They hired a multicultural
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: agency said, do me favorite get rid of this.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: This is embarrassing, you know.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: The multicultural agency said, I'm from the hood. I hear
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: something another rumbling going on.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Why don't you check this?
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: And what they found out was, instead of getting rid
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: of it, the target market they were trying to hit
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: increase three hundred percent because the kids thought they didn't
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: get fuobu gap and then they re ran another sixty
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: million dollars worth of that.
• 18:48

  Speaker 4: Well, it's the same concept of fooble, right, It was
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: four of us bias a for our community of people
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: who love hip hop. It was why is Iceberg charging

• 20:44
  Speaker 4: And there was another person we did well in fat Albert. Right.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: These are legendary brands, these are very you know fact
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: we love this stuff. I love Snoopy, you know, all
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: that good, all that stuff. But why is it eight
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: hundred dollars for for a sweater white?
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: Can it be two hundre?
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: I remember my uncle, he's your trap boy. He definitely
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: had the iceberg. I was.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: I had an iceberg. He's a high school I did
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: it cost him? I had him.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: It was definitely white. However though, Hospital twenty nine.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they had a little weight on him on dollars.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: For sure. You talk about that.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: It's so admirable because job marketing campaign just was getting
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: straight to it. I didn't have social media for somebody
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: who's upcoming, now, what advice can you give them knowing
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: that they have all the tools available now to do
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: everything for themselves.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: I mean the advice.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: Versus you know, at the end of the day, you
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: got to do research on what you're trying to do,
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: you know. I talk about all the ways that I
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: started for with the real way. When I first thought
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: it was I just said, I don't have any money.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: I'm just going to make fifty calls a day. And
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: for six months, and the fifty calls I would call recordlabel,
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: I was called stores, are called manufacturers. Nobody picked up
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: my call for the first three months, but then after
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: that they were like, you ain't going a wait, no
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: I'm not, And they would say, well, I don't have
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: anything for you, but I got somebody else, So what
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: is that. Maybe that's your two hundred ms a day. Right,
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: But you know, Fuobul was not my first business. I
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: had other businesses, and I failed at those business because
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: I was just trying to make money Fuoble. When I
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: found Fooble, I found a love that.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Wait a minute.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: When I can go to a video set and dress
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: the artists, They're not.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Gonna kick me off the set because I have a
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: reason to be there.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: Now I'm watching the best I'm on the set with
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: you know, Biggie, give me one more chance, Juicy. I'm
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: on all these sets. I'd have been there anyway, right.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: I was just a fan of the culture.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: So you know, it's what I try to tell kids today.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: You know, anything you anything that you are buying, you
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: can sell, and anything you do for free you can
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: get paid for. Right. So that's what you have to
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: be when you when you are starting any kind of business.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: I'm sure you love sitting here, having interest in conversations,
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: going back and forth with people. This is a job
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: for other people. It's probably fun for you. You know,
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: of course the hard times come. But if you start
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: off small like that and then you start to find
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: other people that love what you're doing, you get that community.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: I don't care what that community is, and that's how
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: you grow the business. You'll find a way to monetize it.
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: But if you don't have a community, you have nothing
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: you can monetize.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: That's a bar right there. Because we always talk about
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: people especially coming on this line. Obviously for us, we've
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: had great success, but it took time to get there.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: So many people want instat gratification because they see it
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: now you see on social media somebody's got this or
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: they're doing this. It's like, it's a lot of legwork
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: that goes into that before you even get to that point,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: even even break even to that point.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, and there's no guarantee that you're going to do that.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: You know, that's a fact. Listen, Listen.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: My daughter used to love going to the animal shelters
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: and she was like, I don't care if I make
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: a business out of help and save animals, but five
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: ten years past, I'm going to be happier than anybody
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: on the planet because this is what I did.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: You have to feel like that.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: I would have made clothes for free for the rest
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: of my life if I could have, Because every time
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: I made something, I would look at somebody they would
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: wear a totally different way, and I'd be like, I
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: never thought about it like that.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: You know, what was some of the businesses you started before?
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Things?
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: Everything? You know.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: I started working when I was six, but I really
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: started working when I was about ten or eleven. But
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: out here in New York, we have these things called
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: dollar cabs, you know, the dollar cabs. I'm a little
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: bit familiar, Okay. I used, you know, pick people up
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: on the on each corner like a bus route.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: So I used to do that.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: Of course I was raking, leave shoveling snow, you know,
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: bikes together and sell them, you know, all kinds of
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: I was for sure one of my my second job.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: I hate to tell people this who live in the Bronx,
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: but I was, I was.
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: I was.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: I was wiring the b X cable at twelve years old,
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: and in buildings burned down buildings they probably burned down
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: again after.
• 24:48

• 24:51
  Speaker 3: look you got with Tremont at now is the time
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: period I want to ask you this.

  Speaker 2: pretty easy? Was it? Getting it really hard?
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: You know?
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: When we first went around to the department stores. They
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: said they didn't want our hangtags on it because it
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: was four black guys on the hangtag, and they said,
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: we don't want those type of people coming in here
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: getting into shootouts.

  Speaker 3: Damn.

• 26:46
  Speaker 4: we realized where we should go. So we first started selling.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: We first started going one hundred and forty fifth Street,
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: and and then we went to eight stores in New
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: York who took us. But what happened was we didn't
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: realize one hundred and forty fifth Street a lot of
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: peopleople moving weight, coming up and down the eastern seaball
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: would stop at one hundred and forty fifth Street, do
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: whatever they got to do and buy clothes. And it
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: would start to spread. And about two years after that,
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: a mom and pop shop that would have you know,
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: one store, now had four stores because they were selling
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: food and mecasoda pop and all these other ones. Show
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: the department stores were starting to lose business. And then
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: of course it was a misunderstanding and all of a
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: sudden they wanted to start bringing us in.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: We made a mistake we didn't really get that saying, yeah,
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: we made a mistake to give you a chance.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: Was it Jimmy Jazz? I think it was Jimmy jag
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: or the buckle were doctor J's Doctor JS legendary, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 27:47

  Speaker 3: Horold himself, you know, because it was Harrow was a
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: great guy. I love Howl.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, Harold looked like I don't you know
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: what on Seinfeld with the guy creamy.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Uh yeah, yeah, I think he looked a little bit
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: like him with glasses. I even know he was a
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: real person. I just I had to go in there
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: and get planning.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: On brother's first creative recreations. Man, it's football Jersey.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: I say, based upon how that store looked in our
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: particular city. I didn't know that he looked like Crammer.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: For sure, them playing with all the characters on the back.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: They had the black ones with the orange stitching down
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: the I remember tell it was y'all used to That's
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: why I love football too, because he used to be
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: in the store called Value City. To absolutely so you
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: used to have them jerseys. They used to be about
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: thirty offs. But if you wanted the real smoke them
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: two pieces.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you you you gotta check a couple of it
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: might be missing here and there. Get that.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: My first jeans was the dark blue jeans with the
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: F B in cursive.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Bro I right there, what's the one on fat out
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: with the other character? He's on the back of my
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: pen much more he is on the back of my pen.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the reason why I start wearing two pieces?
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: Then you.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: That I'm a two piece lord man, that's.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: The wordest story.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: What was that moment like we first seen the knockoffootball
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: because you know, when it comes great, somebody guild and.
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: Tag for sure, knock on food will started to come. Yeah,
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: around the same time ninety ninety ninety nine. You know,
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: you know, that's part of the business.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: It happens. It's unfortunate, but it happens.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: The counterfeits will do way more than you will do yourself,
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: you know, and it doesn't come from one place, So
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: your factories are doing an overrun for themselves.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: Then you got other people who are making an exact
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: copy of it. Then you got people who are bringing in,
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: you know, ten million shirts and they're going Tommy, Nike,
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: Foo Polo. They're just they're just stamping them all. So
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: there's no way to stop it. You know, we had
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: a really big problem literally three blocks away when we
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: tried to stop it with all the buildings where you
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: go up in there and try to confiscate the goods
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: and there's a problem.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's good seas and desists. Yeah, I imagine that
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: get a little tricky.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of tricky when there's a when there's
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: a there's two hundred people in that community selling goods
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: up and down these buildings.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll become a problem. Yeah.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: It's like, man, I almost lep you off of eating,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: but Jah stopped me from eating. So you got to
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: figure something out. Yeah yeah, yeah, make your own ship
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: for sure.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: I ain't gonna lot Foo that ship. Yeah, I thinking
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: about that. I had a yellow food legendary. It missed
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: so much, bro, I was a geek.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: You know. We owned the brand Poogie as well, and
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: uh look yeah and come on there, and.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: That's another two piece that y'all had. I got a
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: little beef. What you ain't gonna lie? Yeah, I only
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: got one thing for Christmas because it was so hot.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: My time was fine.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: A lot of wind ones on the Week were acquired
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: in two thousand and four, two thousand.
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: And four, all the sixteen then I said, saying, can
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: get another way?
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: It was tears. So the coolie bro.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that man, a lot of that two pece. That's
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: how you just set it up to a individual.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: Sweater with the black. But I gotta tell you that,
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: so when we got it out of bankruptcy, we found this.
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: Only two sweating machines in the world that can knit
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: that that pattern, well, one in Australia, one in Italy.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: So that makes sense again that it cost us a
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: lot to make that one, you know what I mean?
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: So now that makes sense.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: I never knew that until why so delicate you ever
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: say like that? You you know, one little piece come out? Yeah,
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: I ain't gonna lowed to do want to Coolie? I
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: told We've been talking about the vincer joints, the ones bro.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: With the collar that zipped up the halves it they
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: had the first half zips bro, the real written.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: Way together. You know everything.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying because I used to really wear that
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: for me yeah. I grew up around a lot of people.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: That thank you man, you know, yeah, passionate about it.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: We had what I had a twenty forty Yeah, all
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: the girls had them coolie dresses, bros.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: Real thing.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: I used to think that Australia was just cap you know,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: you used to put random cities and countries on this
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: stuff to make you fly.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: But that was one of the two places that had
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: the machine.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: That's a real game right there.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: All right, man, we got to go some one of

  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: Elon Musk, Right, I'm doing really well with some of that.
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: I don't need to know people building infrastructure of aris.
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: I think I just go to the public market, right,
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: They don't wake up Steve Jobs from the dead and
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: asked and he asked me how to fix a computer,
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: or Jeff Bezos don't ask me how to mail a box.
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: So if I have to like you.
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: And I actually went on Shark Tank not to invest
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: in any clothes. So I really was going to pass
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: on it because I already had. Remember, Shark Tank started
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: seven to eight. Nobody was buying more clothes.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: How this, dude, you can't pay your rent?
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: Right, So I'm saying there, sorry, man, but we needed you,
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: we needed your baby. So I clothing brands, and eight
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: of them were dead. The last thing I wanted to
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: do is buy another clothing brand so I wouldn't be
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: able to go to Macy's. Remember, there's only three ways
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: to ever deal with a customer, right, You acquire a
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: new one, you upsell a current one, or you make
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: one buy more frequently.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: And it's twenty five times harder to acquire a new
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: customer than upsell one to make one buy more frequently. Right,
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: So I want to supersize my fries. Every time I
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: went to Macy's, I wanted to say, I don't only
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: have clothing. I got electronics, I got plants, I got
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: this and that. I want to go on to the
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: show to diversify my portfolio. The last thing I wanted
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: to do get more clothes.
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: Little did you know? Little did I know?
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: But I like the guys and they like me, And
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: you know, they don't use a shark as a crutch.
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: They use me for my advice when they can they say, hey,
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: I need I need to answer to these things. I
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: give them ten answers to go these eight don't work
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: this one and maybe in this one might uh. And
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: then and then they asked ten other mentors, and that
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: that's the best thing about real entrepreneurs.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: They constantly on a quest for information. Shout out to them. Yeah,
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: I couldn't imagine, boy, I could not imagine.
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: What's something that surprised you, that took off that you
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: invested in? What I like, surprise you.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: It bombs that did well.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna give it a try.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: And then young, young, young brother comes on.
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: He had a million dollars in scholarships that he figured
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: out how to find scholarships were available on the market,
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: all right. He wanted to do an app. Of course,
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: scolly this app.
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: He comes on.
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: He pitches the idea he wants like one hundred thousand,
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: and thank god, I'm in a good place to do that,
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: Laurie and I liked the idea. I see some qualification.
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: I see that, I see that he actually learned how
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: to get these scholarships. He wants to do this way
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: he shows parents on how to get scholarships to their kids.
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: I don't know much about tech, but the hardest part
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: is understanding that of the scholarship part, we'll get somebody
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: to do that. Tech Cuban, Kevin and Robert all say
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: it's charity. How dare you can remember they're all tech guys.
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: They're too close to it, like I'm too close to
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: clothing right now. They get mad, they get into a
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: fight with Laurie and me, Laurie and I, and then
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: they exit the stage. This is one of the biggest
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: fights we ever had in Shark Tank history. I got
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: it eighty times. Exit on that company. Wow, you want
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: a ten X? I got eight Because they exited. They
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: sold to Fanny Mayo. You go on to Fanny may
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: and you get this. You get to see the options
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: for scholarships. And so that was the best one because
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: first of all, we stuck it to them. We showed
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: that it's not the charity tank. You can invest in
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: somebody who may have an idea and is not a
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: tech person.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: I can't. I can only sew that little hat. I'm
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: not a real designer. I mean I'm a.
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: Marketer, right, you know Vasace, you roll over in his
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: gravey if I call myself a designer, right, I put
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: a big old five and one but look where I
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: am today. So it shows you that if you have
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: the if you have the if you love what you're doing.
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: He loved scholarships, he loved empowering people. If you love
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: what you're doing, uh, nobody can disqualify you by saying
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: you ain't gonna make it.
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: And I think that's why I loved it so much.
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: And the proof is the number at the end of
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: the day. How we exit it. Eighty times crazy help
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: investments to me amazing.
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: Imagine if you made eighty times on any investments.
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: So outside of all the business stuff, man, what do
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: you do for like hobbies?
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: Ma?
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: How you just kicked the ship like in your downtime hobbies?
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: You know. Somebody asked me that the other day and
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: I and I realized that in the last two years,
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: I don't I don't really have any hobbies anymore. Besides
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: the biohacking stuff. I do a lot of biohacking, that's
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: the whole one.
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: Hundred and twenty. I do a red bed or I
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: do you know.
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: Blood you know, you know, taking out your blood for
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: ebo and all this kind of stuff. But the reason
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: why I realized I don't have any hobbies more, which
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: I used to do a lot of fishing. I used
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: to do a lot of snowboarding. Is because I'm so
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: busy just studying AI, studying AI, studying where this world
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: is going. Uh, you know, studying AI, biohacking, and a
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: little bit of prepper stuff, you know, a little bit
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: of making sure that you know, I got the compound
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: ready and when it goes down.
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'm saying, yeah, backyard.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: It's your little bunking. Yeah, this art man, you gotta
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: go in the bucker man. I know you are a
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: huge look at it.
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: He's gonna I'm gonna look at it. No. Yeah, I
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: do a lot of art. Yeah, I mean I I
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: started doing art. I'm not like I said.
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: First of all, honestly, food wouldn't be around, or if
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: I didn't, I wasn't able to get artists to make
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: the products and the stuff for me, right, the clothes
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: and the stuff. But I really started art because a
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: buddy of mine had a company call Art for Addiction,
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: and and I realized one thing that athletes or singers,
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: if you don't get to obviously the top level, you
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: may be able to work in the business somewhat right.
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: You may be able to be somewhere in the business.
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: But an artists, a lot of them addicted to a
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: lot of you know, they have a lot of addiction
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: in the community. They don't have any support. Very very
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: few them will make it, and very few will end
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: up having a job that has anything to do with that.
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: But they'll still create art and beauty. And then if
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: they do get someplace, people are betting on them to die.
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: And I realized that if I could put art in
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: the back of my backdrops and stuff like that and
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: just give them public stages that you know, a couple
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: of them was getting attention and behave yourself.
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: And I just started collecting it.
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: And I realized always that it was an asset class,
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: but I wasn't one of the kind of guys to
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: buy and put it away.
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: I just bought it and put it up because I
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: like it.
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: I want to enjoy it while I'm alive, right, And
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: then that's how it really started getting into it. And
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: then I started representing a couple of artists, just trying
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: to hook them up and just telling them all the artists, hey,
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: send me stuff, I'll put it in the back of me.
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: Maybe he gets highlighted on some big TV show and
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: I sent.
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: It back you, And so that's how I started doing.
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: I just started falling in love with it. Yeah.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: I bought some art pieces in my day. Shout out
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: to one of my mentors in Atlanta, mister Palmer. He
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: helped me to buy some art and I was young.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: It was a piece that was like twenty thousand dollars.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: I just couldn't understand. I'm like, hell nah. He was like,
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: you got about it? Like, no way, brother, So I
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: bought it and then want to appreciated it was around
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty thousand. That was after like three years.
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: He was just like, keep this grab it's a great asset.
• 48:07
