Flash Garments is back for Part 2 of his appearance on Private Conversations — but this time we're throwing him into a more traditional episode of the podcast.

After Part 1 took us through Flash's incredible stories involving AEW, Swerve Strickland, Wembley Stadium, Westside Gunn, Flatbush Zombies and his journey through music and fashion, Part 2 gets back to the usual chaos.

We get into the latest sneaker news, talk fashion and streetwear with Flash, hit another Pokémon Pitstop, and continue our StockX Mystery Box journey.

If you watched Part 1 for the stories, Part 2 is Flash Garments experiencing a full episode of Private Conversations.

Subscribe and let us know what you want to see Flash come back for next.

This week on Private Conversations, we're joined by Flash Garments for Part 1 of a two-part episode.

Flash takes us through his journey as a rapper, artist, and theme song creator, including the story behind creating the official entrance theme for AEW's Swerve Strickland and what it's been like performing it at massive wrestling events around the world — including Wembley Stadium.

We get into his life on the road with AEW, performing alongside and building relationships with artists like Flatbush Zombies and his longtime friend Westside Gunn, and some of the wild stories he's collected traveling around the world through music and wrestling.

Of course, we also talk sneakers, fashion, and where the name Flash Garments comes from, along with his love for clothing and culture.

There were so many stories that we had to split this conversation into two episodes.

PART 2 DROPS NEXT MONDAY — and we'll get back into the usual Private Conversations chaos with Pokémon Pitstop, StockX Mystery Boxes, sneaker news, and a lot more with Flash.

New episodes every week.

Tonight on Private Conversations, we've got A LOT to get into. We break down the upcoming MoMA x Air Jordan 1 and debate whether the Jordan 1 was really the right silhouette for the collaboration. We also talk about where the crazy Eminem sneaker auction prices finally ended, the upcoming Jordan Black Pack, the Fire Red/White Cement Jordan 4, and the return of the legendary Royal Jordan 1.

Larry pulls up with a pair of shoes he grabbed for ONLY $40 from Salehe's online sale, and after all the Brooks talk lately, we finally put them to the test by each trying to put together a fly outfit wearing our pairs.

Then things get interesting… Larry's mom came back from Scotland and brought us OVER 20 different Scottish foods and snacks to try 😂 We also test the viral McDonald's hash brown + Oreo McFlurry sandwich to see if it's actually worth the hype.
