How did that partnership come about with
00:00:01
the Adis?
00:00:02
>> Izzy and David showed up to one of my
00:00:04
popups. I immediately ran up and got a
00:00:06
picture with Izzy. I was like, "No way."
00:00:08
He started showing up more and more be
00:00:09
like, "Hey, bro. Can I just get like
00:00:11
this, this, and that so I can leave? Why
00:00:13
don't you just DM me on Instagram? Tell
00:00:15
me what you want." So, by the time you
00:00:17
get here, it's already ready to go. Just
00:00:18
give me a phone. And then he put his
00:00:20
number on my phone, texted me one day
00:00:21
and was like, "Hey, bro. Do you want to
00:00:22
come over to my house and watch UFC with
00:00:24
me?" I was like, "Hell yeah." I showed
00:00:26
up and I adapted him up. What's that? I
00:00:28
was sweating and stuff and he was just
00:00:29
like, "Bro, you're killing it. What's
00:00:30
your plan?" Well, my dream is when
00:00:32
you're driving around, you can just see
00:00:33
a big sign like Burger King sign, but
00:00:35
it's broke boy sign. Would you be
00:00:37
interested in investor? dapped him up,
00:00:39
shook hands, and it's almost like I felt
00:00:40
like I was part of their family,
