These are those Virgin Appalo kicks. These are Air Geordie 5s.

And like he was saying, it's real controversial if you're going to cut all the stuff out of the different holes.

Joe Rogan (0:25)

Cut the stuff out of the holes? I don't understand that.

There's holes?

Richard Rawlings (0:29)

I don't know. I mean, it's got stuff, it's got holes with fabric in it, and you can either cut it out or leave it in.

Joe Rogan (0:35)

But why would you cut it out?

Richard Rawlings (0:37)

I guess just to be one of the cool kids.

Joe Rogan (0:39)

So Jamie, explain.

Jamie (0:40)

I'm trying to find the hole cut out so you can see it.

Joe Rogan (0:43)

Cool kids, oh, by the way, salute, my friend.

Richard Rawlings (0:45)

Cheers, sir. Thanks for having me back.

Joe Rogan (0:48)

Please, my honor. Thanks for being back, now that I'm in your home state.

Richard Rawlings (0:53)

Hell yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:55)

So what do you do?

Jamie (0:56)

He didn't cut it out either.

Joe Rogan (0:57)

Okay, this guy didn't cut it out.

Jamie (0:58)

You can see it with the yellow socks. That's what you're supposed to cut that little hole out here.

Joe Rogan (1:01)

You're supposed to.

Jamie (1:02)

And that little hole, once you get it home, you have to have an X-acto knife.

Joe Rogan (1:04)

Why would you fucking, what? You got to bring an X-acto knife to fix your shoes? That's crazy.

Jamie (1:08)

That's the thing. That's the designer's idea.

Joe Rogan (1:13)

They're running out of shit. You know what it is? It's like there's so many different kinds of sneakers that you're running out of new ways to get people. So now you have to get a fucking X-acto knife.

Richard Rawlings (1:25)

Yeah, and cut out your circles or leave them or only cut out one. I don't know if there's any kind of hierarchy there that you might reach a point where you're a sneaker god or not.

My buddy James runs this thing called Off the Cut, a little podcast about sneakers. And so he gets me hooked up on the good ones that are hard to find.

Joe Rogan (1:43)

Imagine how quick you'd run out of shit to talk about if you got a podcast just on sneakers.

Jamie (1:46)

I'd go for a long time. You'd go for a long time.

Richard Rawlings (1:50)

You'd go for a long time.

Joe Rogan (1:51)

Jamie's a sneakerhead.

Richard Rawlings (1:51)

There's some serious cut shit out there.

Joe Rogan (1:53)

Talk shit about sneakers, Jamie will jump on that mic.

Richard Rawlings (1:56)

Yeah, this guy James, man, he has like five or six thousand pair. What? Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:01)

Oh my God, that is madness. That is madness. I don't get it.

Yeah, these are Cameron Haynes underarmors, hovers, they're great if you want to run mountains. I hunt in these. They're good.

Richard Rawlings (2:13)

That's right. You were I think we were trying to get me on a little earlier and you were still out hunting.

Joe Rogan (2:18)

Yeah, that was in October.

Richard Rawlings (2:19)

Yeah.

Yeah. So, how you dig in Texas?

Joe Rogan (2:23)

I fucking love it. I wish I'm well, I don't wish I moved here earlier because I moved here at the right time. It was a perfect time to move here, but I love it.

Richard Rawlings (2:32)

Everybody's moving here.

Joe Rogan (2:33)

Whoo, you ain't kidding, man. Oracle just moved here, Elon Musk moved here. It's a mass exodus.

Adam Carolla is moving here, too. I was watching some interview with him today. It's not just the taxes.

LA just, they just got a new district attorney who is going to get rid of bail. They're not going to have cash bail anymore. They're not going to arrest people for resisting arrest. They're not going to charge people for resisting arrest. They're not going to charge people for, there's a bunch of things, like loitering, drunken disorderly, things along those lines. So it's going to get wild.

Richard Rawlings (3:11)

Well, as long as the California people that move here don't bring that kind of stuff.

Joe Rogan (3:15)

That's the problem. Yeah, that's the problem. This dude is the same dude that apparently was, he was doing some, the same kind of stupid shit in San Francisco.

Richard Rawlings (3:24)

Well, we've got a mayor in Dallas that just passed. Like I think it's up to $1,500, they don't prosecute.

So literally somebody could walk in in my merch store there in Dallas and take $1,499 and walk out and they won't even get in trouble.
