Speaker 1

Welcome to the Greatest, a production of I Heart Radio. Welcome to another episode of The Greatest. I am Megan Gaily, joined by my husband and host such co host. Whatever is not disrespectful to him, There's not. None of it's disrespectful. I'm just so happy that we get to do this. Oh that's so sweet. His name is c J. J. Ding Dong also spelled Toladonno. But yeah, I'm very happy, very excited for this episode. Our guest, Our guest one of the best stand up comedians working today. So funny.

The voice, if you're hearing it going that starts something of meeting voice a Comedy Central. Him and I have gotten to look at Peyton Manning in khaki shorts together. Those shorts were I didn't even think that. I've never I understand the male form, but like he was sexy, right, yes, and I never thought that I would. You see him from far away, but then when you see Manning up, he's got it, He's got it great. This is David Bory. David Bory also half hour on Comy Central, Fantasy Everything,

Fantasy Everything, also peeping on peyton dot Net. Well, he came in and put his leg up on the table and he was like everyone did that like it was And David, I don't know if this story ever made it to you, but I remember I saw you maybe hanging out at the after party. I was lucky to

be Megan's plus one. But that week, I think, after the first day that you guys were writing on the sps that year, Megan and I got in a fight because she came home and was like Peyton Manning, he was looking at me, he was and you know, this is Megan is the biggest Indiapolis Colts fan I've ever met. This was that's not that's that's that's hard. So you know what our fight was about. By the way, I was just like you can you not describe these his

features like I'm sorry for the opening like that. You don't got to be sorry. We've we got married, We worked out pretty good for you, and I think we have Peyton's blessing. He didn't like to give it, but Reggie Miller gave it, and they go the same way, Cheryl think. Cheryl said, alright, girl, I feel like I feel like you could have gotten one of the Davis brothers. But if you want to go with this and I would have been happy to go to that wedding. Oh

my god, I would have been awesome. Which Davis's brother would you have picked? And then I would have had Dale'll be the best man? Oh my god. Those guys were awesome man. Yeah, okay, so David, you're from Denver. Yes, but before that, Washington State, oh was leven. The Sonics are gone and the Seahawks were never the best. Seahawks guy was like Warren Moon in my time. Yeah. So it's like pretty easy to transfer to Denver Sports. Yeah, and so you're you're still to this day Denver guy.

Nuggets Broncos. Yes, that's a I mean, the Nuggets are are to be excited about. I feel like we're so young, even without Michael Peter Jr. I feel great. I don't know, man, I feel like we could be like a really fun team. Yes. And I think and by people, I mean Michael Wilbon always raven about. Yeah. I think that. I worry that your kitchen is really maybe mobilizing, but it's all part of his legend. I think that's what makes them. I mean calling him the joker that I didn't sign off

on that. Yeah, that's a little troubling. I don't like it at all. It got worse when the Joker movie came out. Just double sucking down too. If we saw the Joker movie and we're like, well, don't do that, and he looks like uh like a like a like a school bully. Yeah, bully has a very just like he's um. Yeah, he's someone who would make a list. Yeah,

he looks like he looks like Timothy McVeigh. I mean, straight up, if we're gonna McVeigh watched the Bonus Highlights and could get triple doubles like a yeah, no, but that team is exciting. I mean they are the West might be a little bit weird right now, but but they're like low key could be a Spurs like team.

They're just they have the pieces. They have great coach. Yeah, I'm saying like the early two like the mid to the two thousand, they were never like sex, right, it was a sex but doesn't saying like no one was sex the Nuggets weren't sexy yet damn Yeah. The coach, yeah, Tony Parker, it is, he didn't. I mean he married like the hottest woman. Tim Duncans also a foreigner. Yeah,

but he was not really. Um, can I ask your opinions on John Elway as as as a no as a football mind, interesting as the as the puppet master of the Broncos. Sometimes I wonder if maybe he's more of a figurehead than I would like to think. Okay, you don't think he actually is making that many Yeah, And I just like and just like how we've moved

throughout we haven't. We we're the only team who like, we'll go to the super Bowls sometimes without really having something that works, you know what I mean, Like even the one before Peyton, it was just sort of like how did we? Yeah, you don't like there has not been a great long term strategy for the Broncos since Mike Shanahan. Yeah, since Mike Shanahan. So I feel like maybe he's not like definitely a quarterback. We have not had anything, which is almost alarming given who he is.

And we can't keep a running back. We always start the season with like ten running backs to him, Like it's like I so, I know, I don't think like we get it done, but it's never. I mean, God bless Von Miller, right, God God bless him forever. I think it's a tricky And the reason I brought this up is because I feel like, as a fan, I was in a group that was put in this tricky situation.

When someone is an icon to that city, to that team, they're not going to get fired, no, but I mean truth we told around the city even like I don't know if people do love him like that. He's known for being an asshole, Like around town, he's known to be a dick. Like I feel like in Denver City we are more like everybody else, Like Shannon Sharp could kill somebody, yea, Treille Davis could kill somebody. McCaffrey could

kill somebody. I don't think l A as much really as far as as far as like if you're like from Colorado, yeah, I don't think that. I think we're kind of way higher on the rest of those guys that is bold. People still love. Like even all these role players, people still love. I don't think that like Rod Smith people love and you're not throwing him under the bus. But Denver is like a very woke city. Yeah,

I think it presents itself that way at least. I think the Weed, I think everyone just yeah, I don't like the weed, fool you. We're still Mountain trash. Yeah's remember seeing like a Subaru in Colorado that had to make America great against a Super U. It's like, that's what's going on there. Our lands is the comedy scene, you know, like, yeah, that's very beautiful city too. Is that where you started in Denver? No? I actually started

in San Francisco. Damn. Okay, Yeah, I started doing comedy there, but I was like, I was on some probation, so I was back and forth a lot, so I was basically started in both kind of It's nice. I mean that probation actually kind of worked out for you, do you guys? Wow, Yeah, you're not the first. You're not the first person I've heard say that. I think. Yeah, I think it's a good way to turn your life around if you're twenty two, especially if there's no injuries. Yeah. Yeah,

I just saw a great story of reform. I watched the thirty thirty. We're talking my three for thirties or earlier. I just watched Youngstown Boys, and it's not that good of att trustle just about that team, and I didn't know because I was their deal. Marit kind of seems like a well so he what I mean? He was, and I think that's where I stopped paying attention, Like back in the yeah only two thousand's you know, it

was such a and I think it still is. It's that, you know, it's such it's such black and white that a player did something bad and then you're like, oh, hate that guy, and he's a he's gonna be a punch line forever. But man, the story continued and he has been and maybe I should do a little bit more research. But since then, I like, he's good, don't do any more research. In trustful too, So I mean he he had some d u I s he held up a bar, he held up someone outside of a bar,

and whatever. He went to jail, uh, and then he came out and he's been reforming. He's a a motivational speaker. He's um interestful. Got in trouble for because his players were selling their own memorabilia and he didn't speak up about that, which is just like, these aren't crimes. Yeah. The way that a decides what is good and what is bad is actually the opposite. It's so weird speaking of that. What's going to happen with this California thing? Now? Oh,

how does that? Why why would everybody not just go to USC forever and ever? Then, Well, because I think the n C double A will threaten and has probably already say, Okay, that's what you want to do, then your schools cannot be a part of BCS. March Maden. They can do that. Yeah, they can say if you can out of there not um like conducting yourself within our real book, then you do not get to be

a part of it. But here's the thing is taking the schools out of the BCS, Like if you like become that school with like those kids who are like is that is that? Would that be that big a deal? I think that the level of competition stays high and all the kids are like, fuck it, I'll still go to California and make some money. Before I go make some money. And it's supposed to like sec the country, it's still California. It's like exactly, it's got head and

shoulders going over it. Did you have any other reason to go to U C. L A that you want to go to Norman, Oklahoma? Have you been married? I am? Obviously it will be a very good recruiting tool. I think people have already talked about like if this were to go, and I don't know, maybe if the California Supreme Court has already been involved, but like they will upheld uphold it. They're not gonna bully California into not

being a part of it. What California lawmakers are hoping is that we are the state that then forces everyone else's hand to have to do the same thing. I would like it to be the whole West bring back pack ten football. Yeah yeah, I really I despise um the way the conferences have been broken up now, and it's like I'm not even trying to ship on Rutgers in Maryland, you know, get yours. But it's like I went to a Big ten school and I know that that's like trashy and I always joke about that's like

why I'm dumb and got fingered too much. And it's like it's still when I was growing up and it was like, oh my god, I'm going to a Big ten school and now I don't even like understand and it's clearly just put together financially, but then you lose all the fun. Then it's like, well, then let's just not have any if it's just going to be all this anymore. It's really not March Madness that first and

second day. It's still really fun, I think. Yeah, but what you've done is kind of fucked with that though, because you fall in love with these players and then you're not gonna you never get to see a college team become a college team anymore, you know what I mean? Unless yeah, you know, unless it's like, what are the I just want to wat right, I mean, those are

the real stories, it is. I just never got into college sports because it was just so confused by the conferences and like and all that stuff and the rule changes, and then I'm like, the second I get into or figure out this school, why I like any of these people, they all go pro. Yeah. It's just like that's been sort of just the danger and probably why I've been so obsessed with the NBA. It's just so much and

I'm not giving any attention to the college. And wants you to get because college also then you got to start. You know. You can just like follow these high school kids. Yeah I have to. Yeah, my husband is following them to my Instagram's fucked up, dude. It's just all these teams because I followed overtime and then when you as soon as you following overtime, it's like you see there's kid dunk one time, Like, oh yeah, I should be

watching his stories now. Listen, I just bought a sixty dollar bootleg Brownie James Jersey Sierra Canyon, um, and I'm like, and I literally sent pictures to our friends and go, am I allowed to wear this? So weird? And where do I wear it? I think, Yeah, it's you can only wear it in l A but you can wear yeah, but it's strange, it's it's borderline strange. Kids are freshman, but man, he's from the James family. Yeah. I love Brownie. He just got a dunk. Yeah he is. The level

of stardom is like he's a kid on Stranger. But there's like a bunch of these kids like that now, Like I just checked some kids. I don't even remember his name. He's in high school. Overtime to the documentary Williams. Yeah he's got a million Facebook or Instagram followers. Yeah, he's in high school. You almost hope that, like the positive of this is if they don't end up being superstars, that they are able to leverage that following and keep

some of it. And you know, that's what it's almost like, make them not at least the power is now in their hands. And hopefully they have good parents. I don't. I don't think they do. Some of them don't have good parents that made him good. You know, it's like you hear all these people like you hear all these all these NBA insiders or whatever talk about how these young kids now, I don't like how they're kind of like softer or whatever. That's not going to help. This

isn't going to help that. They're only going to get to the league with more like opinions on how should be treating. The thing is that they are them and their parents are not worse at managing their lives than the n c double A rule books. That's true. So at least they have the power to fuck it up instead of an organization that is inherently racist, inherently the

worst part of capitalism, a monopoly. All of these bad they don't have the best interests of anyone, but the cashing the checks and the boosters and all the bullshit that like, hopefully these kids, even if they have the shittiest parents, they're shitty parents, are probably better than the president of the n C Double A, which I think at one point was Andrew Luck's dad, who is now the president of the XFL. We're going to go to

an XFL game. Um, when does it start? Like I think maybe the premier is either a week or two after Super Bowl. So when this comes out XFL Season Full Swing, who runs it? It's the Nickman and it's yeah, Andrew dad because last time did you have you seen that? Watching it and then I was like, this feels like propaganda. It was never not music. It was it's seedy to It was produced and directed by Dick Ebersol's son, which is like, well, no, you can't make a documentary about

your dad. That's going to be subjective in any way. But it's not subjective even if you watch it. These guys are such scumbags that you watch and you're just like, oh god, just like there was a lot of like and we told the players they should sleep with the cheerleader. Yeah, that was insane, and then they had the one They had the one girl to like, the cheerleaders were like, yeah, it's sucked up. It was harassment. They got the one girl who was like, who wouldn't want to taste it

mad and you're like, what are you hearing? Yeah, off, we couldn't be any further from Yeah. Sorry, it is good always to get a check in. I think some of our opinions that we just expressed will inform some of our picks for today's topic, which is the greatest sneaker. And again, David, I think this is a great topic

of you. You picked it. I feel like, right, I think we presented to you and I remember just our first interaction was Megan was like, I'm writing with David and he wants to get a nice pair of sneakers for the SPS. And I remember the one you one. I don't even think I gave you Downtown. Yeah, we were still writing. I remember my nails done, so I was Michelle Obama. Yeah it was. But I remember you

got the Jordan's the white chromes. Yeah, yeah, which now I'm gonna get those black ones that just came out to Yeah, the black Cats, they're they're so cool. Yeah, they're they're sick and yeah, and then actually and then Reggie last night during that Kobe memorial show, told the story about the black Cat nickname and how Kobe had heard about Jordan was a black cat and how he wanted to be the Caramel Cat. So yeah, not to not to bring it up again, this episode will come out.

This episode, it's come out in a few weeks, and everyone's going to be jarred back to can't you say that caramel Cat is a terrible Well again, it's yeah, Kobe, Yeah, it's so every story is so Kobe on brand Kobe. But he was, yeah, talking to Reggie Miller and he's like, oh, well, I'm gonna be the Caramel Cat. And because he was like, and I think Reggie was like what I mean? And for Reggie's not known for having like great taste belly button tap two, so for him, it doesn't he have.

What is it like, is it like a son? It's a son. It's an actual son that has like like compass points. Yeah I almost said not anatomically correct. It's

like the squiggly son. Oh yeah, like Dennis Robbin has on his yes but on his belly button like a what a strange move for a thin thin Anyways, So David um, let's just start off, what's your first pick to the Yeah, I don't even know what you guys are saying, Just like it was just like the first like that was because I mean, funk I was a space was like Tanne that it was the first because like I don't knowber Jordan, elevens started popping up and my cousin is six years older than me and him

and all his friends wore elevens to prom Yeah, like it was them sneaker. It is the problem. It was the first time you could do that. Like it was just it's a tuxedo sneaker. Yeah, it's it's so it's stupid. I hate to say I have navy blue snakeskin ones right now. Well, I mean yes, I have several pairs. And part of this was like because when you said you wanted to do sneakers, c J did that thing that like spouses do sometimes in shows and movies where he's like, are you sure you're to be able to

do this? And I like, clearly can't, but I'm but but I'm trying to be. But some of it is just I want to know how many sneakers c J has, so I want us to do this is like like I think do well, I mean my sister's and my mom my mom just clean out a garage and was like I threw everything away but your sneakers because she knew she knew that would just sneakers. I like around two hundred to fifty. Damn, I get my numbers. No you don't. That's the thing I will. I will tell you.

I'm like reformed now. I mean I got just got married, but it's just still have those takers. How many pairs of sneakers did you bring to the wedding? Uh? Five? And guess what, Okay, this is kind of how many outfits did you guys wear? I wore a minimum. You guys are a pretty cool couple, so I feel like

there was a costume. No. I was in my dress the whole day, and then I tried to get naked into a hot tub and Will Miles gave me his shirt to put on because I was like, I was so fucked up, and also like my body looks great. I'm just like, yeah, I'll show everybody. I mean, I was gonna have to peel off my dress, peel off my spanks, and then just lock my little Brazilian the

puss into the pool in front of my friends. Quick story though about No, I didn't even think about telling this, but how sneakers saved my not my life, but like saved me at the wedding. Was that So when we first got there, one Megan got in a fight with the manager. And it's not like it was a real thing. They fucked up, but I had just gotten a spray tan. So I was basically in the reason why you were

mad yelling some legitimacy to your yelling. Well, we got there and our bungalow wasn't ready and it was like two thirties beautiful sound. Everybody else, you're the only person who can say that. We're like, it's a bungalow hotel room. That was my second pick, the bungalow. And so we made so we're like wanting to bring all of our stuff.

And I got all of my bridesmaid's pink air Force one and so I was carrying in so pink swede with white soul and then white checks, and then I got myself blue um leather with white they're really cool. So I was carrying in eight boxes of air Force ones.

Was carrying it like four four or five boxes, and then this young who um, yeah, I had like the I had the pinnacle Jordan's six all gold so that had like a special box and in bag and I had these Lebron four all Stars that were also gold in an old Lebron box that like, you know, I think people are just scratching, like the retro Lebrons are coming back, but this is the original, so the boxes

like I haven't sent that box in years. But anyway, So like the young guy at the hotel, the bell hop guy, I was like, what is up with this couple? And he loved sneakers, and so me and him started talking became friends, and so through the weekend we were like, hey, what's up. Man? He was like telling me my suite look cool and like he was helping us out, like

going a little bit extra to help us out. And then I did Molly at our wedding, m I got black out drunk and I had my I was wearing my deceased father's role x that my mom had given me a few months before, and I've never I've never broken out this role x. Un told the wedding, I was like, perfect time to wear it. And then I lost the role x and boy, like imagine coming down

from Molly the next day after the wedding. Yeah, I'm already so sad lost my dad's rolex and just for two days didn't know what Like I was like just staring into into the and if you didn't want to go on our honeymoon, like he was so crying, so so so upset, and like I everybody and at this point he had gotten everybody involved, like trying to find man. It was like I was demanding to look at surveillance

footage and all this stuff. I was like literally to the point where because they were my friends, were sending a videos and also looking at my Instagram stories. I was like, oh, shoot, I had the watch at this point in the hot tub, and then I didn't have it here, and then I was asking, like to align with the surveillance has but they weren't letting me back there,

and it was a whole to do. Anyways, the night of, after the second day of losing it, that kid called me up because the whole hotel was on a lern and goes, hey, man, I haven't been in since and I don't know what happened here, but because I haven't been at work since, but I heard you're looking for a watch, I have it, and you know this is it speaker. The secret guy found it in here. Let's but let's think about it this way. You're a nineteen

year old kid. You work a shitty because I'm thinking about myself, Like as a kid, I'm like, I found a Rolex, I'm gonna keep it. I'm gonna upon it. So I'm like and maybe adding drama to this story, but man, I almost give Like the fact that this kid called me and was like, I have your watch and then yeah, gave it. It was just like, I don't care what your intentions were to begin with, Like this is going to be excuse for buying more sneakers

for the rest of his life. Be Like, if I didn't have so many sneak hurts, my dad's roll ups would still be lost. That's not no, not at all all right. Anyways, the elevens are classic. There's tons of history behind it. It's like these shoe I think. It's like I think they're still pretty cool, man, so cool. Whenever they come out with differents, like when they came out with the Cranberry ones with the Gus and the navy blue one, like they're they're so cool, there's endless possibilities.

And when they cracked that the that you can change the patent leather to snake skinner. It could just be like a goal like the p the player exclusives in the NBA. It's just it's notssed up, and it's such a running joke. Everyone's problem. Pictures in the early two thousand's were wearing the space jams of the Black and Reds or even the Concords. Yeah, man, because they're cool as fun. Yeah, they're so cool. They're so cool looking. All right, Megan, how about your choice? Don't be embarrassed?

Ary pretty classic for everything. Tennis is the sport that I played in, my favorite sport to like watch him person, I guess. So I really wanted to do a tennis specific shoe, and I thought I was going to do the Agassy, which I do love. It's like, I was really fun and cool. But this shoe specifically has like

transcended time and it's the Adidas stand Smith. I have friends that still wear them, and like, when I saw it, I was like, yeah, that's just like such a classic shoe that anybody can wear, and the fact that it came from a tennis background is so awesome. And then when I started looking up Stan Smith because my friend had the shoe and I kept thinking it was called the Sam Smith funny, and I was like, we were with that, Like he already has a shoe. So Stan

Smith was. He was a former world number one, He won Wimbledon and the US Open. He attended and played at USC and was born and raised in Pasadena. He's like a neighbor. He's like a native. Yeah, and then I then I liked, now he's still alive and really, yeah, he lives in Hilton Head and from like the picture, it looked like he was like a pro or you know, helps out and maybe is affiliated with Davis Cup or

something in some way. But yeah, I mean the shoe came out I think in the sixth late sixties, seventies, and it wasn't at first he was not the spokesperson for it, and then at one point he became, and then it was like it wasn't it was just an Adidas like general release, and then he became the spokesperson for it, and yeah, it's a really iconic and sad the stripes, it's got the yeah, a cool, a cool shoe, and C don't even like Adidas, so you know, I'm

getting back in. Yeah. They they're they're killing it right now. I mean, cool stuff with the boost technology and the boost I got. Some of those boost joggers are so comfortable. Yeah, I mean really, Kanye really helped him out. They were press. Yeah. And then there's one of them guys shoe you know who it was, TC and Kobe. I was gonna say those first, the one the Kobes that looked like a spaceship. I like them. I like those two able mention. I mean I think they're cool shoes. Um, yeah, I mean

he got two two. Uh Yeah. The Kobe twos were the first good version of that futuristic looking like spacebook. The three would look like a toaster. They went a little too terrible, Yeah, Kobe. Kobe had an incredible line. Adidas and Nike. You want to share your shoes, Well, I just want to say to it's a Standsman's is such a good choice because it also is that phenomena of a shoe becoming so iconic and no one knowing

who the hell dance? No one knows. You know, there's there's shoes like the Janowskis, like the Nike SBS, Janowski's Chuck Taylor's is probably the best. Like, who is Chuck Taylor? I don't know, you know who is Chuck Taylor. I think he played earlier. That's got but I don't know who he is, Okay, but I will find out by the time you get around to Yeah, my pick it's These were all super hard, but these are sort of

my most fun favorite shoes, the Reebok check Nosis. These are oh my god, these are shocked and they just came back out for anyone. Yeah, they just came back out like a week ago, and anyone you may not interest very interesting, Um, but this is Reebok. This is his second shoe. Looks nothing like this for a shoe. If I could describe it it, yes, this is this is so and I will describe. I would call these

the twilight Zone. That it's the hypnotic. I should have it right here, Okay, Rebok was really Yeah, that's what I thought. So I'm showing the picture of Megan David right now. So crazy it is. It is nineties. The lines are so cool on it. I see those green a lot. So those ones sat like like the crazy colors sat on the shelves. And so that's what people can get their hands. It's like it's well, it's like I feel like you would see like Dad's hooping in these.

I think there was. It was the life pack that they did. The rabox were so weird. Well so do you remember and I was going to mention too, this is the era remember the camps, the comic case, same design, same thing, and it was just like crazy. I feel like, and I've warned these and people can't talk to me because they're distracting. They like, give you a literal, it's these are shocks second shoe because they steal like this is Do you think players are in the in like

the design? I think it depends on the player. Yeah, I think it depends on the player. I think in what stage they come in. I don't think Shack was involved, just because some of his other shoe does and then led me to believe he doesn't care that much. Do you think they're just like giving him the ones that someone in the office it's their passion project, but it

doesn't look that good. I don't know enough about the process to know that that's but you think somebody made this and then they were just like I read this before we came in here but this was originally Emmett Smith's signature shoe, and I think Emmett passed on. That doesn't make sense. I would love could you imagine, though, Cowboys Emmatt Smith wearing these is like a turf shoe. It would have been pretty cool. There's like a lot of cool. Yeah, it would have been cool as a

turf shoe. Yeah. But um and also to just the very quickly a big man having a shoe is so difficult these days for killing it. Yeah. Yeah, although but he's like a forward. He's got like a big man. Yeah. There was no like back in the day, like there was no Gray Ooster right right, Yeah, I understand that. And do you have those checks? I do? I have the original, not the original release, the first. Where are they these? Yeah? I've worn them around I warm him

to Lakers games. And what did I say? I don't know. I feel like you're just saying I'm not even to start. Some of them. I like some of them, like the SpongeBob I'm like, this is not on my husband. That's wow, that's really fair. And I was like, yeah, I got this. I got the SpongeBob ones. I like the squid Wind ones. Kind of like that, like kind of like more low key. Yeah, Okay, let's take a quick break and then we'll be right back. Okay, and we're back before we get into our next pick, David,

what are the shoes you're wearing today? Tens? The what do you call it? The Seattle? No, no, that came up with the St Patrick's days. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah it was fun. I got him on goat for like cheap. I was all stoned. People don't tens are great. They were classics. I think they were really slept on their precursor to Yeah, I think they were really slept on. I don't know why people don't. There's certain Jordans that

I always thought were so great. Like I always thought eights were way cooler than they ever got credit for. That's because my mom bought me ates a J. C. Penny, remember, Yeah, and then fives are in my favorite probably But yeah, did you have a sneaker relationship like in your childhood? I mean it was like always you got what you like. I got hand me downs, you know what I mean from my older cousin because he's like small, so like

we had the same sized feed for a while. So like, yeah, now I'm an adult and I buy all the ones I wanted. When your career had a financial uptick, did

you find yourself buying immediate? Was it like the number one thing that you were It's because it was like the first thing I could do with it, Like like when I got to the point where I was, when I even got to the point where I was like I could buy a pair of shoes, like every month was like crazy, And now it's like I have to be like I have like a working rotation and then like a few on ice, and then I'm like I

don't want to exceed that. So like if I and I have to pull something that's with c J. We tried to do a one in one out for it. Actually it never never happened, I understand. I mean, but that being said, working rotation is eighteen. Yeah, that's a great rotation. Yeah. I kind of like I got like two shoetracks like in my living room of just the ones I wear regularly. It is so funny. You can

go with our friends. You can be like, oh, you probably just started working because every it goes from Chucks or Vans too, Oh you got Jordan's or yeah, or just like not fucking classics and even classics is what I was wearing. I know this about c J. And I feel this about you from hearing you talk about it. You guys are both people who wear the sneakers. Oh

that's the point. I buy him aware I think it's weird if I Sometimes I'll get a pair that I don't like, I want, or like I don't wear as much, and then I'll usually we can be candid on here train him to Jamal Johnson for nice. Yeah, he bought two pairs of Barkleys off me the other day, two pairs of Barkleys. And that's why I love you, guys. Barkley's are awesome too. Well, dude, I bought So here's how it happened. I bought the Barclays, the gold ones

with the strap. I bought them before ever wearing. I bought him with the employee store in Nike in Portland because I got like the hook up. And then I went out and I bought another pair, the Sun's colored ones. Before I even tried them on. My foot's a little too wide for the strap. So then I had him, and I was like, I was like, what do I gotta do to make it work. And then finally I was like, Jamal, let's let's make a deal. Let's make a deal. I've given We've traded a lot of clothes.

Actually love that. Yeah. I bought some jerseys off at Jamal too. I bought it. I bought a Team Mat jersey from just out of his backpack horns. Yeah, I bought you know, I bought I bought it a mellow Syracuse off his lawn. So so fake, all of them. Yeah, to fake jerseys though, because they're really killing it now. Yeah, yeah, CJ, what sneak are you wearing today? I'm wearing the answer for Kobe. Oh my god, good for you. And I

got these a few months ago. That's great. And I remember I had remember I remembered last night, I mean obviously all this Kobe stuff and I was just like, what what I want to wear something special to because we're gonna be talking about sneakers and it just that era it was Kobe became a free agent. Yeah, it's

it's it's too close to why I hate that. It's complicated about this whole stuff, but like he was a free agent, wasn't signed with any brand after Adidas had let him go or they parted ways and this run man. The pictures are I would I would accept any of these frames in our house where he wore Iverson's Jordan's he wore like it's incredible see Kobe a player in his prime wearing other players. It was so cool and it was like the answer great, Yeah, like those are

the best. I mean, I have my other ones that I like shoes, but like those ones are Like I remember one kid in eighth grade had the white remember the white silver ones. One kid had him and nobody you know where he got him. And I still remember it was like you were just like what did he even? How did he do that? Yeah? I had that with the answer fives. And I remember being a freshman and seniors coming up and talking to me like because I

found him. I was friends with a Duda online who got him early in his town and he sent him to me the white and red five. I went to the type of school that when a Jordan's release was coming out, the school would be like full Yeah, he would not come to school. I mean it was like it was like it was like Madden, you know what I mean, where it's like the next day is Dan, Yeah, I did as just because I didn't even going on. I'd be like, where is my speech class? And then

they'd all come in and it was remember the snake skin? Yea, I remember the day that those came out because I was like, where is everybody? And they were like, there's new Jordan's where are they going? And they were different. You know, it was just fun. It was like used to be a lot more difficult to even be into. And it was freaking internet. Yeah do you even know about like gosh, yeah, okay, did you we gotta do our we gotta do. But what are you wearing? Real quick?

What am I wearing? I am wearing actually a snake skin, but probably more expensive than any No, no, no, these are cheap. These are Sam Edelman on sale? Who you play for? Sam Edelman? Sade um In for Spain? Okay, okay, got you for mad? Who's whose pick is it? Oh Davids? Yes? Yeah, okay, because now that you were talking about iverson, feel free to change them. No, I mean I the question lows.

Oh yeah, man, they were like those were like I want to say, those were rebox maybe biggest shoes that crossed over like like rappers were wearing like I love you say lows because question lows specifically, and like I just was just like, what an iconic shoe with the toe cap and like it's just like when I think about basketball shoes, That's what I think about the question. Many of them they had Lebron questions, the St. Vince s Mary ones and I I've see I that's a

new genre of my sneakerhead the high school ship. It's just like these p s that these players were getting, like the code, you know, the Yeah, it's crazy because they came out with those. They released those recently with L twenty three j on them in the same in the Saint Mary's uh colorway, and it's incredible. It's a man, there's they're just like iconic. I just think they're just they were so cool looking. I'm gonna probably buy some today.

And it was probably and it was in the era of Jordan's, the Jordan Levin's and there was this new guy, Alan Iverson and he untested because the questions were before do you remember the first ones? Because the first ones were weird. The first ones had like a lot of like like just the color scheme was really weird. On the first one. I wonder they were like lows lows.

I wonder which one. Yeah, this is probably a really stupid question, but are there ever sneakers that come out that are then I mean, I guess this happened with Zion a little like that are just like, oh you can't these are actually not good to play basketball in. But they wore basketball shoes. I think some of them I think evolved to like, yeah, athletes are wearing better shoes in general. What's the Zion shoe that he blew out? The Kyrie's No, no, no, no, we're the Paul George's

upset at him for blowing out. No, I'm not upset with him. I mean just like you can't even Nike accountable. Yeah, I mean, yeah, he's he's a new person we need to build Jesus. Yeah, he's a new one. Yeah. His head is not as big as I think it would be for a man that large. Yeah, I was watching him. I was watching highlights of him last night, and it's

just like it looks slow, but he gets by people. Yeah, what my friends saw My friends saw him saw a day like in real life, and he was saying that like, oh you guys know Jason. Yeah, yeah, Jason said, when you see him in real life, it's like alarming, really because you've never seen a human like that. Like when even when you see him next to other NBA players, he said, it's like like holy ship. I mean I went to high school. Basically it was our arrival high

school with Greg Oden, and so we were chiltern. I mean like we were like fifteen seeing him, and it was like, how it doesn't make any sense. You're younger than me, you know, so You're just like, how is that a freshman? Young NBA players? That freaking especially now when I'm old enough to see the youth, Like what

was I watched? I was watching I was watching something about the Fab five and he showed Chris Webber when he was like seventeen, and he was that tall and just tall, skinny, and You're like, it doesn't even make fucking skinny. The other day that then it was I had to forget, but they were like so cute, skinny. Um,

do you been young, Shack? You remember? Was yeah? Shack was like even his arms weren't when he first got to the league, because like as he got later, his arms were like it was Jermaine O'Neil when he first entered the league. He was They were like showing clips from when he was on the Blazers and he was

so skinny. Even, man, even to go back, I hate to bring it up again, but even like you know, obviously watching all these Kobe like afro, Kobe was so like coolest, that's the coolest, but like so thin, didn't Yeah, he was just like his jerseys were huge, that picture of him and Shack with the leather jackets on, and you're just like it's like a kid, which was the style too. And so I usually buy my jerseys kind

of form fit or like, you know, my size. And so when Kobe passed, I merely went to Mitchell and Ness and I bought a nineties seven Lakers gold Kobe jersey, and I got it one size up because I wanted to hit. I want it to be as big body, like like his boy a company made only for us. It's fucked up, man, because like I'll just be like, yeah, am I gonna spend two on NBA All Star shorts only at home? Or like the second they started putting pockets right off the bottom, you are crazy shorts to

the gym today. Yeah, Jordan's has turned it around Jordan brand clothing, but they were like emblems on every part of it. It was every Dango flight. That's pretty cool because Jordan was making some Michael Jordan's style clothes for a while. Remember they'd have like jeans for a little bit and they had jeans, had pea coats and they'd always end up at t J Max. Yeah, because you don't want to actually dress like Michael Jordan. That's very true.

He looks crazy. Okay, I'm up. My number two references earlier is the Chuck Taylor All Star. Great. Yeah, it's perfect. I an even great gang Bang and shoes I did. So I was like, should I pick a PF Flyer? Like the p F Flyer was just like right, I think it was real at one point and it was a company and then that company was folded into Converse at some point, but that was a real shoe. It was produced by I think now whatever that company is

as part of like New Balance or something, it's changed now. Okay, yeah, it's I mean, we're all living in a health escape of capitalism and likes. So my dad was like, yeah, I used to play in Chuck Taylor, and I'm like, you used to play what Yeah, that's that's what we was not wearing shoes. It just feels so, you know, I hate those shoes because there's you always get them. You're like cool, I'm a big no support. I've actually never owned a pair. Oh there's so they're not good.

I have like low converses, not the All star um. They were first introduced in nineteen twenty, and then I found out who Chuck Taylor was. His name Charles Taylor. Obviously he lived in nineteen o one to nineteen sixty nine, so it's okay that I did not know him. He made his debut at seventeen for the Columbus commercials. Is that what they were calling Columbus commercials? Yeah, that was

her name. And he was a shoe salesman and shoe product manager in addition to being a you know, uh, probably pro, you know, probably dollars a week playing and that was enough to like have a house and four kids. And Chuck Taylor born in Brown County, Indiana, which is the only beautiful part of Indiana. So Brown County, I'm excited for a lot of great things come out to Indiana. That horribly untrue. I mean you got the Jackson's, Well that's Scott an Achilles heel. Okay, you're right, my wife

has came from there. Chuck Taylor LB oh yeah Indiana. No, he's from French Lick. You always say he played he played basketball at I s U please you hit from French Lick. Yeah, French Lick. Maybe French Lick is actually quite beautiful and close to Brown County, so two legends nearby. But yeah, just an iconic shoe. I mean you see them a lot in the comedy community. Yeah, comics because they're so cheap. I think it's comics of them. Yeah,

they're like cheap. But since Nike got them, they've just been like injecting all this tech into him and get some wild ones. My little brother got the Chuck Taylor two's and I was like, you need to and you can play in those ones, right, they're like the performance as a lunar are European, European boy. They said that Truck Taylor all start like the iconic when we're thinking of has barely changed since nineteen you know, it's like

it's like being outside. Yeah, like it's like your feet are outside well, I was playing tennis with Zach Tisconi the other there was like a shocker was there. We were actually there when we found out about We found out about Kobe and then met up with each other like thirty seconds later, and Zach had a rod labor racket, which is a wooden tennis racket, and the head is the size of my head. Purpose well, no, he he broke a string and Choker was bringing him one. But

I was like, are you gonna play? Like the technology? Seeing it in person was so baffling purist though, Yeah, he is. He's got that hair. Yeah hair, He's got board hair for sure. Yeah. Damn okay c j H divorce settlement. Um, I think you're talking about you. You touched on it briefly, David. But the Fab five so Nike air flight Hara chis Yeah, it's just like one

high school basketball dude. Yeah, it's a big black socks thirty three that's like, yeah, that was like mass every team and it was like, you know, against being able to steal the spotlight from a Jordan's shoe in the nineties, you have to be doing something right, and you know these kids who were wearing back then just you know, all these Nike college were just wearing team shoes and

they owned the Hara Chis. They were so cool, man, they were so cool that the Harrachis and the Nike Air Force Maxes, which were Barkley's the when the Fab five, Yeah, those are still it's just like classic. The silhouettes of all these shoes in the nineties were perfect. And it's weirdoes thing too, so like now they're so like form fit, foot fitting, shaped like feet, strange looking. No, I want

to shape like box. I want big chunky sneakers. Well that came back in style, like those feelings, and I don't, I don't. I don't get that. That was a really wild because it's just not that's not the chunky we want. Yeah, there's better feelers too, but yeah stackhouses Yeah yeah, yeah, there's much better feelers. Well not for the Hadid sisters. Yeah, but I mean it's that again. Jalen Rose, Chris Webber, Howard One Howard. I love what's happening for him. I

love it, you love it. I love that he finally looks as old as he is. He looked that old his entire career. His press conference was like being introduced as the coach was a good cry. He's man, Oh my god. Yeah. He talked about being able to find the job that you were born to you and I think it's that and he got to have an amazing NBA career, won a championship with the Heat with Lebron and like, and then now to go coach your alma mater, which is one of the biggest, you know, schools ever. Yeah,

it's beautiful. It's a good life. It's a good life. Yeah, a break one pick. Okay, we're back and we got our final picks, some really really great classic and some like obscure stuff and yeah, it's uh, it's been some good picks, Megan, do you want to kick us off here? And so I do have one honorable mention? Uh is gonna be like these are the only two shoes you

even know about? Um my honorable mention because I really like to wear them and c J introduced me to them, and I think they come in lots of different fun colors and styles. Is the air Max? Oh yeah, yeah. I think it's also like a classic shoe for girls, Like I think sometimes we feel a little left out that whole Steph Curry and the girl being like, why don't you make shoes for a girl? I loved that too. Um, but the air max You're like, oh, this actually feels

more like a girl's shoe. I had an exit would wear a lot of air Maxes, and I was like, that's a woman's shoe. Yes, yeah, um and yeah they're just classic little cuties. So my number one I went real classic. I love the music about it, I love the culture around it. The air Force one, yeah, I mean, what can you say? You always have to have at least two pairs of those white Crisp Air Force one. There was like a girl I think I was watching an old episode of Millionaire Matchmaker and a woman like

liked that. She was like, I like those freshweite sneakers and it's like, yeah, man in a brand new pair of air Force ones is kind of like a tux. Like you feel so cool? Were those welcome dinner? See? Yeah? I love him. Do you like the lows and the high top like the mids? Like you have lows? Okay, a little wet, it's got a wedge. It's like just a little bit of a platform. It is definitely a platform.

They bump you up I'm fundamentally against wedge sneakers, that is, like, I fucking hate those, and those were really big with female comedians for a while because like, I'm a sneaker, but it's a heel, and it's like not is Yeah, I know exactly what you were like, Jordan, like, we don't look like. I would rather someone be wearing the high heels timber really because at least that's got a little personality to it. Remember when like the high heeled

like to with the jersey dress? Yes, I remember, yeah, I remember when I first thought about getting you married. Yeah, that was dresses is a whole complicated Yeah. The air Force one, first release in nineteen two, seems like it's pretty much the same as it was then. It is named after the President's airplane, because designer did name it after the nickname of the Air Force. Some of the

nicknames up towns. I remember being this little Asian kid in my hometown waiting in line for some Jordan's and this guy kept talking about do you also have these white and orange uptowns? And then later I found out that those same uptowns are the ones that Kobe War in Rucker Rucker Park. He wore these white orange. Yeah, it's crazy again. Legend of Kobe. He dropped like fifty at rucker in some mid some uptown mids. That's not a that's not an athletic and she she'd yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

you know that. Rashid Wallas War Air Force ones whole career won a championship in them. I guess now that you're saying that it does sort of ring a bell visually, but but that's just it's perfect. It's so on brands. You ever done interviews about it? Um, they've they've released they have his little like a jump man type Mashi jump Man. It's his fade away like on the back of him. But yeah, he's he's been known to wear those. Awesome. Yeah, it does feel kind of on brand. Um. Yeah, so

that's my number one. It's a great pick. I mean those all your picks have been classic in like if you were to frame it like best shoe ever. I feel like those because like I feel like me and David have like such specific ones like yeah my taste survey. Yeah, but that's good. But that's because you guys know more. If this was an episode about like the greatest fights

in Housewives history. I would have some weird obscure and you guys would be like the table flip, and it's like, yeah, the table flip is probably the best, but I'm gonna go fucking scary island over here. I would have to go with my girl. Who's the lady I sat next to you on the airplane? Oh? Man, I sat next to the wife of one of the housewives or the mom of one of the housewives. What city I was flying? She was leaving l A, going back to somewhere in

the Midwest. I remember because I put her on my Instagram story because we were getting drunk, and you actually responded, what are some of the ones in the Midwest? There's Dallas her so her daughter isn't one here, Beverly Hill's Orange County one of those. I'm not sure you said. She was a bit and maybe it was because I got her to plug my show. She was like, I was like, could you just say I haven't actually remember this?

Little guys like, could you just say I'm just gonna look up m I was like, could you just say that David is his show? Also, God, we haven't even brought up our dear friend will Smith oh yeah, I just saw Bad Boys for Life. What do you think I loved it was? It was it was everything. I started with my friend Mo and he was like I don't and I was like that movie was everything I

needed it to be. It was per corny like the other ones, like and is so funny, and Will Smith like tapped into being cool again, like, oh my god. We saw it at this you got a which break and it's like dirt, It's like raunchy Will Smith yea, and you know, I mean he's just been like dad Will Smith for a while now. Yeah, it was so good. Me and Megan saw it at this theater where it was like you can eat dinner and like reclining and I was still so leaned forward. I was locked. Yeah,

I was. I don't even mind, Like the Ammo Squad, Yeah I don't even care. Yeah, make an Ammo Squad movie. But they even like they the relationship was like, no, you guys will never be cool. We're the cool one. Were so and we're getting another one too, which I just read. I loved it kind of set that up. And then also while we talked, I mean, Will Smith has been such an integral part in my in my and sneakers, and I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna make

a super cut of every Nike in Jordan. He's worn on Fresh Prince at some point when I get time, Like, man, I don't care the Jordan's fives. Yeah, that's your passion. I want you to do it. That's beautiful. But yeah, Will Smith Fresh Prince sneakers. Yeah, it's okay. Who do you want to let gas Go be the last one? Yeah? Okay, just some honorable mentions. Um, the Nike Penny two's Yeah, another commercial commercial, Little Penny by Chris Rock starring Tyra Banks.

He was sea, I don't, I don't. They don't have a proper retro because on the emblem they do the Penny logo instead of the Nike swoosh and kind of like yeah, but it's little things like that that keep it away. You want to shoot, you want what they were? You know what I mean? I don't want any Yeah. I don't like it when they remix because sometimes they'll come out like the souls will be different or something

like come on, man, why did you do that? But you know Nike's doing that on purpose because the purest won't they'll buy that, and they'll buy the next one and they come back again. Yeah, that's some other ones Kobe two. As you mentioned earlier, it just was such a try and for the people who were around, like it was cool. Um the answer forwards you talking about. But I I'm wearing the white and purple ones. But the white and red ones I thought were always the coolest.

White and red. I like the black and grays, like the basic ones. Yeah, I like the black and grays. Yeah, those were classics back then. Those were the first ones that came out. There's a Christian lubaton of those that popped up or something really change. Maybe it's just like trying to trick me. A lot of the you know, and that a lot of the what do they call luxury brands will have their own version, which is yeah, I thought was wearing fives and then me and my

friends Sam, we're like, what are those? And he was like, oh, these are lou Batons And I was like, oh, really, like look at this lou Baton. Oh yeah, Well I don't like this like high end sneaker me neither. I don't like Balenciaga sneakers. I don't I don't think or whatever. And I don't like the easy I like the Red Octobers, but other than that, I don't like hunt for Red October. And let me ask you about that. Were you at

period Red October? Were you ever like in that same lane of like a hype beast, like the most popular shoe. They's always been like just like guys I liked or stuff. I mean except for Air Force ones, but that was because like, how could you not? That was like everywhere. But other than that, now I've always kind of like just like because that hype beash is like okay, but like I think some of those off flights look dumb,

like I don't know, like hype beasts. It seems like they go they like a lot of shoes that I don't really I agree. I when I got a job at Bleacher Report, they gave me a nice little advanced check and I went and bought the Easy one Moon Rocks, and I was like, you know, probably the most ever spent on a sneaker. I think it was like twelve

hundred bucks. I pisses me off, Yeah, but uh, but then I got him, and then I went and then I moved to New York, and then I went down to Soho and every kid had him, and then I sold him for four hundred dollars. Because here's the thing about those that hype ship is like, all these kids know how to get them cheaper than you, and they know how to flip them cheaper than you. So unless you're gonna be dedicated, then you're gonna you're just out.

You're spending money chasing what some collabo that they think like, I don't care. I don't need their respect anymore. I'm a grown ass man. I don't give a I've touched a boom, how about that, I mean boom buy some clothing, like as a grown up to be like, oh my god, I I got I got X job. And from that, I bought myself a Gucci something. And then to see like a five year old with the same Gucci something, You're like, it's the most demoralizing feeling on earth. I

just can I tell you. I just bought my first fancy thing. I bought Louis Baton wallet Nice. Haven't even gone to pick it up yet because for some reason, I shipped it to the store. Yeah it's it's the one on Rodeo and I'm just like, I just, oh my god, what yours is the brown before? It's the LV, it's the L, it's the LV, but it's the gray padder. Yeah, we got to send it to c J's mom and

she'll tell you it's the wrong one. And actually shout out to my mom, who's the one who got me into this sneaker consignment game, because she used to get purses early and then flip them on eBay and then she got banned from the New York store. My mom used to flip cell phones on eBay much darker because then she had my friend jail breaking home and then

they would like interact without me. This is what I live in San Francisco, and I'd be like going to my mom's house and my friend would be my roommate at the time, would be like, hey, bring these to your mom, and it'd be like four iPhones. It was it's really, it's real. It's real. Wise all right, um, alright, we're real quickly. Other two honorable mentions. Air took challenge twos. I guess he's very cool. T Mac Two's I thought

were great again. Lebron had a pair of these were great. Yeah, the first ones were great, but then they figured it out on the second one that that was pretty cool. Um. And then my pick is this is just like an unattainable shoe for me, but I think it's so cool. Are the air bags? Um, the Nike and Megan, these are the back to the future shoes and normally I wouldn't dollars. Yes, So here the story is they were the futuristic shoes. Nikes that self lacing in the movie

didn't exist. Then in the two thousands they created them, but they didn't self lace. And then I think three years ago they found they found a way to make the self lacing technology, which okay, so I typed it as you were saying it, I typed an air m a. You would naturally think max, but computer was listening to me, and air Mag's was the first thing that pop. But then when you when it's like you also, and then

it's like sea air mags. There's a Nike air Max f which looks crazy, a Gucci shoe, a Balenciaga shoe. And then for some reason red Eminem slippers like the others suggested things those things like you know how you see those kids in New York who were wearing like the slippers of real sneakers. Yes that I don't know. I mean these are these are instagramps have sort of become slide sandals now too. Yeah, but I'm saying these kids are wearing they're like big fluffy slippers, but they

look like yeasies or whatever. You know what I'm talking about. Oh yeah, they're so I don't know, and they leave off the logos so they don't get sued or whatever. But they have like Jordan's one slippers or like, Yeah, I mean it's a crazy you know what you could get these c j there are um, they're they're all right, that's pretty good. Do you know anyone who has these the self lacing ones? No, there's been. I think a couple of people are too that I've met who has them,

but never no one in our circles. Yeah, I wouldn't like a person if I it's it's like a car. Yeah, wow, kid Cutty wore a parent conan you like how it looks. I think it's just such a like that's the future future. It's it doesn't really matter how they look. Self lacing ka um, which and then they've made self lacing shoes that are somewhat of hoordable. Um that the hyper debt bbs were also designed by Ericavar. What are you? What is somewhat affordable four hundred if you get them at retail?

But I just don't. It's a it's a useless time, a hard time going over to to fifty. Same here over to fifty, and like I just can't. I can't. I think that's a reasonable range. I think. So, yeah, what's the most expensive pair you have or ever paid for a shoe? Like? I paid like three hundred bucks for some grape fives? Was and you said yours was the easy moon rocks I paid. I think I paid to fifty for a pair of those laceless grape fives. Okay, yeah, yeah,

Those are like the moisture if you keep them in the tubs though, right, Yeah, I could you get those big plastic tubs and then you can keep them in like colder weather, but otherwise, ye, you kind of want to keep them in the house. Yeah, shty. I don't even keep minding the boxes. I throw away boxes now because I'm not like I'm not going to flip these on eBay or anything. That's the thing is, like I just need them to look decent for like

day to day. Yeah. Yeah, and some shoes look better dirty than others. Yeah, and some shoes you can just wear for a long and like I wear like Reebok Classics a lot and stuff. Yeah it doesn't like yeah, because like the Air Force ones and they're like forty bucks. I just buy a bunch of them. Those were fun during um, like I almost said Lamas, but they are like the fun like yeah, yeah, I wanted those, but I was like I didn't have the body like I always thin woman's.
