Episode description

Kevin talks with the former leaders of action sports apparel, Hurley and Billabong, and highlights the unique environment of the Warped Tour that allowed for brands and bands to work together for the greater good of action sports. Hear how Blink-182 built a relationship with Bob Hurley, the founder of Hurley Apparel, and almost got blacklisted from MTV for wearing Hurley shirts on stage.
