What was your favorite episode of season 13?

Pharrell is such a humble dude. You can tell he really appreciates when the interviewers do their homework and even compliments them. Very reminiscent of the Nardwuar interview he did.

[gavin.spalding]

“i don’t know about no North Star, i’m just happy to be apart of their sky.” love that. pharrell legendary.

[miket]

“I don’t know about being their north star but I’m just honoured to be in their sky”

And that’s why Pharrell will always be goated. Always humble and always gracious.

Joe is a top tier interviewer. His questions are relevant and he never fumbles

[ianhauschild]

This is the most certified person you've ever had on here he actually knows what he's talking about he's a fashion icon in the skate scene. Shout out Joe for even knowing what vision was that was awesome big flex Joe

This is probably one of the most important sneaker shopping episodes in a while. It’s dope when a guest is talkative and gives us inside scoops!

[TheDairyKing]

Seeing Pharrell on sneaker shopping is like seeing a teacher out side school! Best episode yet!!

[HarrisonNevel]

Joe did amazing in this episode as always, and thought this was one of the best sneaker shopping episodes, even with someone who is in an exclusive deal with a specific sneaker brand.

Can we acknowledge the fact that Pharrell Is 48 and still looks like he’s in his 20s

[avigupta]

I usually don’t like when they have celebrities with sneaker endorsement deals, but Pharrell was so informative and intelligent about sneakers, it was amazing to watch

[paulie]

Dude has the oddest demeanor where he looks like he's so unapproachable when he's not speaking, but when he starts a conversation he speaks his heart out.

I love how Pharrell is naturally humble and down to earth guy, I see why he named the shoes Humanrace. 🌟

[franciscocobosrodriguez]

Y’all should do more interviewers like this, I’m sure it was tough make it happen, but to not shop and have an artist freely talk is just nostalgia as to what drew me to sneaker shopping.

[primodigital]

The excitement on Joe’s face is priceless. You can really tell this is a dream come true for him! Bravo!!!

[williamrocafort]

Pharrell is a beast tbh, has done everything right since day 1 & still giving back to the community.

[MrKuriyani]

This is one of the best episodes you guys have ever done, and no shoes were even bought. Pharrell is a living legend and JLP kept the convo moving hitting all aspects of Pharrells sneaker history 🔥

[markrios]

Tbh I’m not even mad or disappointed it wasn’t like a regular episode where they cop shoes and see how much they spend and all that it’s amazing hearing the stories the iconic Pharrell has to say, the guy is real humble and genuine I really enjoyed this episode

[jalb]

There are levels to human existence and Pharrell surpasses every artist/idol they have had on this show... best episode. Much respect to Pharrell, he is at the pinnacle.

When pharrel said “youre so good at this” to joe ive literally been eaiting for somebody to say that
