Our interview with Mike Hope aka Mike the Ruler is a full circle moment. Mike—internet legend, stylist, designer, and casting director—joined us in studio over a decade since he came on Fashion Bros to talk about what he's been up to since his somewhat regrettable debut, the Cool Teen era and all the success his crew has since found, getting a taste of digital clout at such a young age, his time in wilderness school for troubled youth, what psychotherapy has taught him, the downfall of Balenciaga, Supreme and the various other specialized interests he had as child, Balenciaga x Supreme lore, how he went from working for Ye to Demna and giving them the final push needed to work together on Yeezy Gap, the new Gucci, styling Nettspend, what the hell is going on with the Met Gala, Fashion's wastefulness and nihilism, a new chapter building his dream brand from scratch, how he shops and acquires extremely rare grails, and much more on Mike the Ruler's interview with The Only Podcast That Matters™.

Hi. I'm Jake Rez, also known as Nurse Jake. As a travel nurse, I've worked in all kinds of places, different settings, cities, and climates. Every assignment brings on a new challenge, which is why I always bring my Figs. These scrubs are built for whatever the job throws at you. They're breathable, flexible, and comfortable in any environment. No matter where I land, I know they're going to keep me looking and feeling my best. And don't sleep on the details. The pockets, the features, the finishing touches, everything has a purpose, and it makes a real difference when you're moving nonstop. The fit is clean, tailored, and super polished, and they come in a huge range of colors. In other words, they feel great throughout a 12-hour shift, and they always look good.
