00:00I didn't have a starter jacket when they had starter jackets.
00:03I'm just saying. I'm just saying. Y'all recognize.
00:07That's from my man, my lovely friend Carl Banks.
00:11Catch me outside.
00:14So, I was assuming that...
00:15I thought we'd start with this.
00:16Tell, educate people who don't know why these are significant before they Google it.
00:21Okay, so before y'all start Googling starter, as young people, every kid, everybody, we all have a starter story.
00:27We can all talk about getting our starter jackets.
00:30I used to beg my mama to get me a starter jacket.
00:33I would save every dime I had to get a starter jacket.
00:35But the other piece was, if you had a jacket, you're trying to not get beat up to somebody, take it from you.
00:40It's like between starter jacket and Jordan's, you was trying not to have somebody take it from you.
00:45So, the starter jacket is from the popover to the Hoya jackets to the Raiders jackets to a Yankees jacket.
00:50The starter jacket is just iconic.
00:52It's legendary.
00:53So, again, I thought, you know, Carl Banks, who owns IP for starter, he's doing his thing.
00:59My man, G3, all the folks at G3, I definitely want to say thank you very much.

01:12Starter stories.
01:12So, when I was in six, I had my mom.
