Episode description

Full episode on Patreon. Jerome Peels is a skateboarder originally from Florida who founded Citibike Boyz and Peels Clothing. 

Citibike Boyz is an informal group of riders in New York City who gained attention for their public stunts on Citibikes, the city's shared bike rental service. Despite using bikes designed for casual commuting, CitiBike Boyz push the limits of what these rental bikes can do, which has earned them a mix of admiration and criticism.

Peels Clothing is a New York-based clothing brand known for traditional workwear garments. Rooted in a personal connection to manual labor with inspiration from his father’s profession as a house painter, Jerome started Peels to honor the blue-color work ethic. The shirts became popular due to their simplicity and high quality. The hand-sown patches onto work shirts have been worn by the likes of Mark Gonzales, Pete Davidson, Jonah Hill and Ishod Wair.
