Some insight on the life of a Massive Monkee
No, My Car!
I had hella fun on those viral videos. My arms was hurtin after they broke those pipes, had to rest them for a few days even though the pipes were already cut. It still bruised a little. My car got blasted on too! In the video Brysen says "my car" but he didn't want his windshield busted up. I was down to let Juse smack it because this is my work car. So everybody out there: That's the lazy integra right there for the world to see. Nobody else was down to do it with their car. Using the coosh headset has been coo, it has been staying on my ears tight when I go jogging. I'm trying to get fit so some of my homies jog with me. They need cooshs too. I don't use anything else besides coosh, seriously. I don't have the iPhone but I hook it up to an old CD player and be rockin it. I do some crazy power moves when I break; I can go all out and it don't come off. That surprised me.
Suspense is Killing Me
It was a funny experience to do those video shoots. I got in character, played it really cheesy and went over the top, over exaggerated even. It has a hand held video camera look, and that helps since it was a parody. It reminded me of Naked Gun movies and Hot Shots. Our humor can be exclusive to us, but this hopefully comes across to all the people that see it. We are excited about the launch and announcing the collaboration. I wanna see what other people think. The suspense is killing me. We have an official sponsor now, and they support what we do and pay us for being good at what we do. I'm not getting up thinking about what I'm gonna do today to make money, I'm think about being good at dancing. That's how I'm paying the bills and the health care. Doing crazy stunts and I got a daughter - I gotta have that. Most of my practices are with a stereo. I use the coosh on long travel. Planes, trains and all the wild ways I get to these spots around the world that I usually haven't been to yet. My car and house are wired for stereo so I keep it on ice at home. It's hard to explain but it has an invisible feeling to it, like its not even there.

Uniquely Us
I've done individual commercial work but with the Crew all there the stress of production was much easier. It became a good time. Acting out our inside jokes made the videos something that was uniquely "us." And finally we're sponsored, our prayers have been answered! No seriously, we are athletes but we have to do a bit more on the creative tip so having a brand that allowed us to do us, by our rules and standards - that's a real prayer answered. They were open to our ideas and the results came out phenomenal. I keep the coosh headset on me all the time when I travel, its used on a daily basis at home; I talk on the phone with it too. I don't wear it when I'm all out dancing but I need it when I train. I hide the cords under my shirt and can do all my workouts without even remembering that it's on. The product is totally solid, I mean you've seen, we tested it!

Letters from the Fish
The video shoots had my face burned by the end of the first day! Having everyone around for four days, kickin it and getting work done made it more of a celebration. This is where we are at now. I got a letter from my supporting actor the Fish he's back out there breeding in the rivers and creeks of the Northwest. Fresh Water Styles Crew is gonna be hitting the battle circuit soon. Watch out you don't get smoked. I saw the edited videos when my whole family happened to be over at my house, so we watched them together. I was dyin, we laughed the whole time. In things like this that we do in the future I want it to be even more exaggerated and crazy. I have been using the coosh and I actually gave all my other headphones to my brothers. This is the only one I rock. They sound really good but I always wish headphones could get louder. I would probably make myself deaf if I designed the product. The thing I really like is the potential is has to be a fresh headset for the kids with styles, patterns and colors getting flipped.
Ps. Send more coosh I got a big family :)

Bustin' Bottles
My favorite thing about working with the coosh team is that they value our input. Creatively we have a lot to say, and when a sponsor is really interested in letting us put our stamp on it then it's a great situation. The viral videos came out good, I was really nervous when I saw a script and I had to break bottles over the Scientists heads. Some had already been used as props in some scenes, so they kept telling me you have to make sure to hit them hard enough. I wanted to make sure they broke so I hit the Scientists extra hard, and I could see that when I watched the videos. I have really sensitive ears and never wear earbud headphones; I like the big oversized ones. But the coosh I was wearing it all day and didn't have a problem at all. So I use them for training but I still have my big headphones for when I'm at the house.
