This week Jeremy talks to Matt Lambert about being an OG from Sid Mashburn, balancing being a musician while simultaneously starting his career, and how the pandemic helped give birth to his new brand, Factor’s. Matt discusses disregarding trends, the "dramatic moments of attitude" in his suits, the attention to how a garment’s lifespan impacts his designs, and why his models are pouting in mirrors and slouching to show off the functional 'fits all in our Season 11 premiere.https://www.f-act-ors.com**Sponsored by Standard & Strange – Get the facts on denim 👖 hereandSponsored by Topper Jewelers – The place to buy your next watchandSponsored by Proper Cloth – Get your next custom shirt here!

My guest this week is writer, actor, and stand-up comedian Yassir Lester (Black Monday, Black-ish, Girls). Yassir and I chat his early days hustling his way through the LA comedy scene and his rise through the industry. He shares how his mother raised him to be charitable, how he still wants to see others do well, and how he’s returning to his Georgian roots by embracing “the truck lifestyle”. Plus, we get his take on buying weird stuff off Instagram. ** 🤣🎤 TOPICS DISCUSSED 🤣🎤Yeezy Quantum Basketball Shoes Real Housewives of Salt Lake City🎶Smash Mouth - All StarNick at Nite 🔥 THE BEST TRUCK - FORD F-150  🚚Yassir’s Pod: My Brothers Sneaker w/ @isaiahlester EXTRA 🔗 : Yassir and Paul Scheer Talk Marvel YASSIR’S ADVICE: #1 GIVE INSTEAD OF BUYING ANOTHER HOODIE #2 BUY A TRUCK AND PREP FOR THE APOCALYPSE **Sponsored by Standard & Strange – Get the facts on denim here.and the Zodiac Sea Wolf GMT 'Crystal' Topper Edition from Topper Jewelers. **Want even more Blamo?
