Some insight on the life of a Massive Monkee
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.

coosh Approved
The last scene with the armbar routine was my favorite part. We did real breakin, an original Massive Monkees routine we pioneered but it was funny with the ongoing spins by Lazy. I was dyin with that one. All the others were sorta funny, but when they get old... Man. Plus that script was my idea so I like it better. I use the coosh on every plane trip I take whether I'm battling or headed to the beach life in Hawaii. Traveling is not too active but it stayed on when I got up to go to the bathroom. I haven't been running or jumping with it but we already saw it could do that. The bass could be better, we need some low end because I keep it bumpin. That's my style. I can't help it I love music even if it deafens me.
