00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.871
- [Voiceover] Those are enormous.

00:00:01.871 --> 00:00:03.948
- [Voiceover] Jesus Christ.

00:00:03.948 --> 00:00:06.051
I wore JNCO Jeans for an entire week

00:00:06.051 --> 00:00:07.728
and this is what happened.

00:00:11.856 --> 00:00:14.038
JNCO Jeans came out in
the mid to late 90s.

00:00:14.038 --> 00:00:16.732
They fit you normally at the very top

00:00:16.732 --> 00:00:20.318
and then they get incredibly
baggy at the bottom.

00:00:20.318 --> 00:00:22.711
I always thought JNCO Jeans
were really interesting

00:00:22.711 --> 00:00:24.371
and something drew me to them,

00:00:24.371 --> 00:00:26.113
and I could never wear them

00:00:26.113 --> 00:00:28.296
because I went to a Catholic middle school

00:00:28.296 --> 00:00:30.130
where I had to wear a uniform.

00:00:30.130 --> 00:00:34.106
(rock music)

00:00:34.106 --> 00:00:36.080
It was a weird feeling at first.

00:00:36.080 --> 00:00:38.541
Literally couldn't believe
how large they were.

00:00:38.541 --> 00:00:41.269
It felt like you were
wearing a denim comforter.

00:00:41.269 --> 00:00:42.778
What did I do?

00:00:42.778 --> 00:00:45.518
I got used to the swishing noise

00:00:45.518 --> 00:00:50.518
and the very slight breeze
that were to go up my legs.

00:00:50.766 --> 00:00:52.438
The pockets were interesting.

00:00:52.438 --> 00:00:53.680
- [Voiceover] Meat pocket.

00:00:53.680 --> 00:00:56.560
- They were great, they
were relatively functional.

00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:58.347
You could fit anything in there,

00:00:58.347 --> 00:01:00.146
you could probably fit a small child.

00:01:00.146 --> 00:01:04.361
I just put my entire laptop in
the back pocket of my pants.

00:01:04.361 --> 00:01:06.486
Tuesday was just bad.

00:01:06.486 --> 00:01:08.704
The pants drag.

00:01:08.704 --> 00:01:12.779
When they get wet, it's like
you're wearing a puddle.

00:01:12.779 --> 00:01:15.808
Well, my pants finally
got stuck on something.

00:01:15.808 --> 00:01:17.539
My pants got caught on sewer grates.

00:01:17.539 --> 00:01:19.105
I tripped on this.

00:01:19.105 --> 00:01:21.346
I avoided escalators at all costs.

00:01:21.346 --> 00:01:23.683
They terrify me to begin with.

00:01:24.702 --> 00:01:26.394
Wearing JNCO's on top of that,

00:01:26.394 --> 00:01:28.476
there was no chance.

00:01:28.476 --> 00:01:31.217
The initial rush of wearing
the pants has worn out.

00:01:31.217 --> 00:01:34.711
People were really,
blatantly staring at me.

00:01:36.981 --> 00:01:38.206
When I woke up on Wednesday

00:01:38.206 --> 00:01:40.203
I just decided that I was gonna go for it.

00:01:40.203 --> 00:01:41.701
If people were gonna
look at me on the streets

00:01:41.701 --> 00:01:43.419
then I might as well give
them something to look at.

00:01:43.419 --> 00:01:46.728
So I put on a bucket hat
and a Crystal Pepsi t-shirt,

00:01:46.728 --> 00:01:49.944
and I just went all out with my 90's look.

00:01:49.944 --> 00:01:52.684
It felt pretty liberating, it was great.

00:01:52.684 --> 00:01:54.739
I really enjoyed it actually.

00:01:54.739 --> 00:01:57.547
I just really didn't care what
anyone else thought anymore.

00:01:59.287 --> 00:02:01.531
So I was feeling great after Wednesday,

00:02:01.531 --> 00:02:05.004
and I wake up Thursday and
I'm talking to my girlfriend

00:02:05.004 --> 00:02:07.802
before we leave the
apartment to go to work.

00:02:07.802 --> 00:02:10.762
And she tells me that she
has a work happy hour,

00:02:10.762 --> 00:02:12.166
and then immediately remembered

00:02:12.166 --> 00:02:14.326
that I was wearing JNCO Jeans all week

00:02:14.326 --> 00:02:16.892
and immediately disinvited me.

00:02:16.892 --> 00:02:18.471
My girlfriend just texted me that

00:02:18.471 --> 00:02:22.186
I seriously should not show
up to her work happy hour.

00:02:22.186 --> 00:02:24.589
I realized that the experiment had gotten

00:02:24.589 --> 00:02:26.191
a little out of control.

00:02:26.191 --> 00:02:30.746
(rock music)

00:02:30.746 --> 00:02:34.369
I was happy to be wearing
them for one last day.

00:02:34.369 --> 00:02:35.506
- I love your pants.

00:02:35.506 --> 00:02:36.889
- Thanks so much.

00:02:36.889 --> 00:02:39.291
I was reflecting on the entire week.

00:02:39.291 --> 00:02:42.531
My friend got tickets for
the Big East Tournament.

00:02:42.531 --> 00:02:45.713
It was this celebration
of getting through it all.

00:02:45.713 --> 00:02:47.814
It felt like they were
throwing a party for me,

00:02:47.814 --> 00:02:49.834
even though there was a
basketball game going on.

00:02:49.834 --> 00:02:52.154
Then I realized coming out
of Madison Square Garden

00:02:52.154 --> 00:02:53.743
that I had to take escalators.

00:02:53.743 --> 00:02:57.346
(rock music)

00:02:57.346 --> 00:03:01.591
I get to the top of the
escalator and I just, I jumped.

00:03:01.591 --> 00:03:04.678
And I was okay.

00:03:06.108 --> 00:03:08.726
It was definitely like a
culmination of the whole week.

00:03:08.726 --> 00:03:11.988
It was this celebration
of getting though it all.

00:03:11.988 --> 00:03:14.170
I would recommend to anybody to wear

00:03:14.170 --> 00:03:15.750
JNCO Jeans for a week.

00:03:15.750 --> 00:03:20.022
I think it's a great exercise
in stripping away your ego,

00:03:20.022 --> 00:03:22.089
and really just trying
something different,

00:03:22.089 --> 00:03:24.585
and living in someone else's pants.

00:03:24.585 --> 00:03:29.200
(upbeat music)
