 Yeah, we on boss talk one-on-one. Yeah, we gonna check it man My boss y'all come from say cheese TV is in the building. How you doing man? Man, man, it's been a minute man. Yeah, we're like eight months eight months And I'll be like man, and you know at first I was anxious to get you back But then I'd be like, you know what man, he really right like coming right back don't make no sense So I like the way you move man. I just try to keep uh You know just talk when it matters. Yeah People just talk just to talk, you know, you know, you know that just as well as I know Yeah, we hear yeah, man, thank you for coming on the show man Last time I mean since you've been here. I went downtown to the grand opening man Shout out to you and Barry man. Yeah, man. Y'all boys man. I was impressed man And the line made me think about New York when we be out there. I was like, these names got a line Call you a day. Yeah, I was like man Yeah, that's crazy the store shit we almost made like five half a million I already know man vintage like we ain't even put the Hype clothes in yet, you know now like the designer and shit like that I don't really rock the designer too much. I thought little pieces on but you know, that's just the style right now But break down to me the whole process of what made you even just get into retail, you know should I always wear vintage clothing and You know, I met my partner at a vintage swap meet that he put together and then he wanted to do one big event I'm like hell nah, like Forget the event. Let's do a store. So shit We we got the store a little bit before the pandemic and then we found like a real good Real good price for it the landlord. He was a fantasy cheese. So we got it a little bit cheaper than what it was And it was the first vintage store in deep Ellum. So of course, they didn't mind. Are you more hands-on with this business? Or not as much as I should be I want to be here cuz I'm not I'm not a bank. I don't like to be looked at as a bank I'm an entrepreneur. I still like shit to be, you know, well done too. You know, I'm saying So I'm not just hands-on I'll probably go to the store like twice a month because I don't like stepping on people's feet either Like I like letting people beat them, but I still be wanting to throw my little creativity in there, too You know, yeah, I know cuz we had like when we had to remember we had the four stores and we had Whitney as the district manager And we basically We tried to make sure that we didn't we wanted to make sure that we covered our grounds We're making sure we took care our customers. But then you want the people who work there to have their own voice, too It's hard though because the passion like we were really the passionate ones like like we like I know Barry You say he's kind of like that's what he was doing, right? But but we was more the passionate one so at the end of the day when we would hire people or bring people on I come to find out if you didn't really give a percentage of something you couldn't get that out of him Like you won't man. That's tough. Yeah, it's hard to get a hundred percent out of somebody who doesn't invest They can't capital because they when you take a loss. They're not really taking a loss Yeah, whatever on to the next but when you're putting up your own money like you're you tend to be more You know, yeah said more passionate about oh man. I'm gonna be at that thing man I'm out in the streets telling everybody. Hey, but that was we was before the Instagram in the era We we wrote the 2008 9 you taught my Facebook and no Instagram And we was basically out there with the foot traffic with the yeah, we like that Yeah, we were putting the flyers out. It was different a different time now I get on there now. I see smoothie down there with you I see different people coming to the show a lot of Dallas Mavericks I see who else I seen a lot of people man. It was people flying in Man was driving for like New Orleans. It was a lot of people. I was loving it too. And then I when I seen it It's multicultural because I saw black white Every color most of our money come from walking traffic. So like visitors and like white people. Yeah, I loved it Man, I ain't gonna lie to you I just love the hustle too like when I see somebody winning and I see somebody that's doing something that looked like me Oh, man, they do so. That's why I wouldn't when shorty low junior came down and the miles I wouldn't talk to bear. I was like, yeah, man, let him know we came back I want people to know when they come to Dallas. They need to be coming checkin out this This is where I'm in. Yeah real talk. A lot of people don't know the value of vintage man like people man That's the thing like like tortoise like Selena when she was alive in like 93 94 95 Like when she went on tour and she saw her merch them shirts right now worth like two grand Because you can't make another you can't get another one from 95. So yeah, just shit like that It's a lot of money people know the difference because then somebody can always Press one like it's like a certain tag and then you know these shirts are like 30 years old now So they're not really like black. They're like ashy gray. Okay. Yes, like a certain look you can't you can't duplicate it It's almost impossible. Yeah, the words are cracked up You can just tell
