Descripción

Celebrity stylist Rod Allen Baker is back and this time Ken and Megan get the full origin story. Rod started college on a gymnastics scholarship that got dropped a week before training camp, ended up at Kansas State, and took the only job available at a clothing store — janitor. One night covering for the Brad Pitt looking salesman who had a date at the Elton John concert, Rod sold more in one shift than anyone in the company's entire history. That was the night he knew exactly what he was supposed to do. He breaks down how he built his client list in Denver by walking into offices next to nice cars and asking who owned them, how he landed ESPN and started dressing the biggest athletes and promoters in the world, and the night George Foreman walked past everyone on set to find the clothing guy and ordered every single fabric in the book. Then there's the story of calling the number George gave him and getting his mother on the phone. Rod shares what it was like dressing Kelsey Grammer for Frasier, working with Jay Leno through his entire Tonight Show run, getting a live on-air plug from Don King, and making a white cashmere tuxedo for Kelsey Grammer's wedding. Plus Megan falls out of a dressing room half naked at South Coast Plaza and Rod reveals that Ralph Lauren stole his Ask Rod campaign idea. 00:00 - Rod Started As A Janitor At A Clothing Store 04:00 - The Night He Broke Every Company Sales Record 09:00 - How He Built His Client List By Knocking On Doors 11:00 - Landing ESPN And Dressing The Biggest Names In Sports 14:00 - Don King's Live TV Plug That Changed Everything 16:00 - George Foreman Ordered Every Fabric In The Book 20:00 - Sponsor Message 21:00 - Jay Leno And The Tesla Drag Race Bit 24:00 - Dressing Kelsey Grammer For Frasier And His Wedding 28:00 - The Heinz Ketchup Heir With Four Homes And Four Wardrobes 30:00 - The Ease Of Life Philosophy And What Wealth Really Buys 35:00 - How Rod Started Styling Women And The South Coast Plaza Disaster 40:00 - Megan Falls Out Of The Dressing Room Half Naked 44:00 - David Yurman And John Varvatos Stories 48:00 - The Ask Rod Campaign And Ralph Lauren Stole The Idea 55:00 - Rod's Relationship With Ralph Lauren As A Distant Mentor 58:00 - Where To Find Rod And His Books
