[00:02:35]>> I'm not huge on the straps. Are these LeBron's?

[00:02:39]>> They are. They are LeBron 13s. Does that make a difference into what these are cool to wear to?

[00:03:03]>> I I don't think I've ever seen these.

[00:03:07]What's interesting about these is I'm usually into the neon colors, but it feels like these aren't like it's like kind of like showy, but it doesn't really feel >> Are these Buzz Lightyears?

[00:03:20]>> Is that a thing?

[00:03:21]>> I mean, >> it's got the green and purple.

[00:03:25]>> Makes me think of Buzz Lightyear. Where would it be cool to wear these two, Travis?

[00:03:28]>> I mean, they're basketball shoes. You can wear them to a basketball game. Uh, wear them on the court. I mean, the Browns are my favorite basketball shoes of all time. Um, the 13s were probably 2001, two So, he was back in Cleveland when these came out.

[00:03:48]Yeah, he was back in Cleveland these came out. So, um I am uh I am drowning right now in what the [ __ ] I do with these.

[00:03:56]>> Maybe let's start here. What would they not be cool to wear, too? It's >> there. It's It's all how you wear them.

[00:04:12]>> You know like there's some there's certain people that you know wouldn't mind a brown 13 in this this colorful way.

[00:04:20]>> Um I think uh >> I think they're cool one because they're bronze.

[00:04:29]I think it's a very specific look that you have to put together to rock them though. If you're not going to rock them on the court, >> what are you wearing with them >> to pull it off?

[00:04:38]>> To pull this off, >> MC hammer pants.

[00:04:44]>> Parachute pants.

[00:04:46]Interesting choice. Interesting choice.

[00:04:49]You'd have to match it with like a parachute shirt, which is a nice baggy shirt. Parachute pants and like other kinds of shirts just don't really You got to have it tucked in. shows off the physique a little bit. And then um I probably wouldn't do that with these.

[00:05:04]>> Where would you go?

[00:05:05]>> I'm thinking I'm thinking jumpsuit. I'm thinking jumpsuit.

[00:05:07]>> Jumpsuit.

[00:05:08]>> Little top bottle of two-piece trap.

[00:05:10]>> What color is the jumpsuit?

[00:05:12]>> Um I guess you could mix it in with a little neon colorway. Um try and match it with this. I think if we go green, it would probably be a little too much. You can always go I think a nice white and all white two-piece jumpsuit right here.

[00:05:27]I mean, white goes with everything, Travis. Now you're just grasping at straws.

[00:05:31]>> Well, when you got loud shoes, you could just kind of, you know, be more subtle.

[00:05:35]>> Let them be the the showstoppers. What about a Buzz Lightyear jumpsuit?

[00:05:39]>> A nice gray. A nice nice gray. Grays just go with everything as well. Gray and white. I mean, we're kind of playing it safe when the shoes are this loud.

[00:05:48]You gota >> Yeah. I'm You >> can't be too loud all over.

[00:05:52]>> You can. And that's the thing is like if you're going if you're going raving, you know, if you're about to go on a rave, if you're about to go to a festival, >> are these good rave shoes?

[00:12:41]>> Hey guys, my name is Maddie here.

[00:12:44]>> Hey, Maddie. Hey. My question is, what's the dumbest question you've ever been asked by a reporter even though there's no dumb question?

[00:12:54]>> And how do you deal with like personal stupid questions from them?

[00:13:00]>> Thanks.

[00:13:01]>> Nothing stands out to me. Do you have any question that stands out to you?

[00:13:04]>> I mean, yeah, like uh what are the keys to the game?

[00:13:10]>> Just generic questions.

[00:13:11]>> Just the most generic questions ever.

[00:13:14]I've been fortunate. I haven't been asked too wild of questions, I don't think.

[00:13:21]Um, had some wild answers, but I don't think I've ever been asked a question where I was like, "That's [ __ ] dumb.

[00:13:28]I'm not answering that."

[00:13:29]>> Weird thing you believed as a kid. I like this one more.

[00:13:31]>> Let's hear it.

[00:13:32]>> Hey Jason. Hey Travis. It's Bianca from Johnston, Rhode Island, land of the forget to use your blankets in endless pursuit. Anyway, my question is, what is the weirdest thing you believed as a kid? Thank you.

[00:13:45]>> Yeah, I didn't really get a lot of what she said at the beginning. I'm sorry I didn't get your name or where you're from. That was hard to understand.

[00:13:51]>> Yeah, it was tough.

[00:13:52]>> Weirdest thing I believed as a kid.

[00:13:55]There's a couple. One was uh I believe that there were sharks in swimming pools.

[00:14:01]>> I knew that was going to be it.

[00:14:04]>> I don't know why. I thought that they could get in. You still feel it every now and then. still like when I'm swimming and I I'm not able to see underwater in the deep end, I still honestly am a little nervous. I don't know why.

[00:14:16]>> Like if like if >> like when I'm in a big lap pool and I'm swimming and I'm just there's all this water around me, I still have this like anxiety and I don't fully comprehend why.

[00:14:28]>> That's [ __ ] gold, man.

[00:14:30]>> What is it? thalisophobia or something like that is I forget what it's called, but there's some type of fear that I definitely have when it comes to water.

[00:14:38]>> Yeah. I I thought that they could like somehow get through those like openings in the side of the pool that are just like help me filter the water. I I just doesn't make a lot of logical sense. Um >> that's definitely the weirdest one.

[00:14:52]>> It's so crazy that that it's like that though.

[00:14:55]>> Yeah. What's the weirdest thing you ever believed, Travis? I just believed my name was supposed to be Charles.

[00:15:02]>> I remember that. I had a feeling you were going to that.

[00:15:04]>> That's the only thing I can really like I just believed I could tell people my name was Charles and they would and that was now my name. Yeah.

[00:15:13]>> And no, that's not how that works. You have to like go to school and like have a government ID and like >> No, your name's Travis because your parents named you Travis, not because you wanted your name to be something else. So there you go.

[00:15:30]>> It was quite a kick. It was a kick until I embarrassed my mom at a block party.

[00:15:35]>> That was a very funny moment.

[00:15:38]>> Yes.
