- This means a lot to me.
- [Interviewer] You ever lose it?
- Lose this?
Oh no, if I did lose this, man I might have
everybody searching for it.
Like, for real if anybody try to take this from me
you will have some serious problems.
Just gonna be real with you. [laughs]
[upbeat hip-hop music]
what's up GQ?
This is Jameis Winston and these are my essentials.
Just a great way to start it off with Hello.
It's my Hello toothpaste.
I think dental hygiene is one of the
most important truths on the road
you know, because, especially when you're on that plane
A lot of people sleep with their mouth open.
I'm not one of those guys, but I love this toothpaste.
It's charcoal and it makes your breath smell really good,
and it's great pick-up line, "Hello."
- [Interviewer] What do you know about
the whole charcoal fad?
- So, like the past two years I've gotten
real big on just everything being vegan,
everything being organic.
So, I mean, why don't you want to have a clean mouth?
I haven't looked up much about the activated charcoal,
but I know it's good for you.
And uh, that's it.
Queen Helene Cocoa Butter.
[bass-heavy instrumental music]
I mean, when you a nice, brown-sugar type guy like me,
You gotta have some good cocoa butter.
This is my favorite kind because it has the paste.
You know, but when I'm on the road,
I still got...
the travel size.
This is more like, more of a lotion material.
I love 'em both and like, I gotta have them
'cause I like to be lathered up.
Can't have no ashy hands throwin' the football.
I gotta put it on my skin no matter what
because like, you all see those gray ashes on me
all the time!
Especially after you take a shower, man.
I'm like, no I can't be ashy.
- [Interviewer] Where did you find this particular one?
- So, bro, my grandmother, she used to get me this type
of cocoa butter when I was a young kid.
This little tub just sit above my bed.
Every time I woke up the morning, my mom would come up,
take a dab, hit me on the face,
put it on the neck.
And then, shoot, that's my routine now.
I just have it in my bathroom.
I come and take a dab, hit my hands, put it on my face,
hit me on my neck, go down my arms, go on my legs,
hit my ankles and feet.
It's aged since 1930.
This one, the toughest thing about this,
because I've been trying to decide
if it's Queen "Heleen" or Queen "Helen."
So, I think it's very challenging.
I just know it's great cocoa butter.
[rock music]
After you're all lathered up, you gotta have your tunes,
so, I always rock my Beats.
Now I got the new edition, the Power Beats Pro.
So, these are legit!
You know, they're all Bluetooth wireless.
So now I could be talking on the phone
like I got in one ear.
You know what I'm sayin'?
And then I could act all professional.
It even have the little "da-ding" thing to let me know
that I'm certified on my phone.
If you're going to listen to music,
you gotta bang hard with the Beats.
- [Interviewer] What do you listen to
before a game to get you hyped?
So, actually, when I'm on the field, I'm not one of the guys
that actually put the music on on the field.
Because I'm more of a visual guy.
I like to hear the stands.
I like to hear the people yelling my name.
And go out there and just feel the whole atmosphere.
When I'm in a locker room, and really
when I wake up in the morning I'm bumpin' tunes.
I start out with gospel.
I get my 30 minutes of gospel.
Kirk Franklin, Hezekiah Walker, and then I just gradually
get into it.
I hit, you know, The Temptations'
"September do you remember?"
[record scratch sound effect] But that's Earth Wind & Fire!
I'm sorry.
But you know, dancin' in September.
As I grow, I then, I get in to the, the Lil Boosie,
the Drake, the Gucci Man.
Rap music, I be on the Kodak Black.
[upbeat electronic pop music]
My Prada toiletry bag, this is a great gift that
That I got from my fiance.
I never used to have a toiletry bag.
She just got it for me for my birthday one year,
and I was just like, this thing is handy.
Like it's beat up.
It has everything in it.
I can put everything in here from jewelry,
for my Hello Toothpaste, my cocoa butter.
Everything it fits, my deodorant.
I think I'm a big fan of the toiletry bags.
Some guys, just carry clear bags.
Some guys just put it in they backpack.
No, I'm a firm believer in the toiletry bag.
You gotta be precise and detailed, baby!
[instrumental R&B music] I think these are
one of my hidden gems, my custom cufflinks.
Every time I'm on the road, like,
if I forget my cufflinks, I start panicking
'cause I'm just like, "Oh, how am I gonna do it?"
Like, "Am I gonna just go in the undershirt this game?"
Like, I'm always in the tux.
Like on the road and at home I always put on a tux.
So, when I forget these bad boys, it's over!
Like because I just feel uncomfortable.
So, these are my main thing
like, I gotta have my cufflinks because I'm always having
the French cuffs, like I'm really I'm really,
I'm very sentimentally have the buttons.
I'm going to have the French cuffs.
I'm going to have my custom cufflinks.
So I've probably got seven pairs of cufflinks.
I've got these, my customs, I got some Batman cufflinks,
I got some Tampa Bay Buccaneers cufflinks.
I got some bad like, uh they football, they got
some diamonds in them.
And I got some gold ones, so.
These are my favorite, because they got JW3 on them.
And my girl got them for me, so these gotta be my favorite.
I gotta wear these more than every other one. [laughs]
[instrumental hip-hop music]
When you have nice cufflinks, you gotta have nice watches.
So, I got my Hublot.
This was actually uh, my second watch.
My first watch I got a Rollie, so, these are my two options.
My Hublot and uh, and my Rollie.
This is my first purchased watch, I actually got this
as a gift from Halt living, from my boy Kumal,
and uh, hooked me up with this and a red Lacroix.
So, uh, that was a blessing to get this as a gift.
This, this was my first big purchase, and I got, like uh,
I'm a very subtle guy.
Don't worry about the, the bracelet, but I'm very subtle
so I got some custom rocks in here inside my presidential.
I should call it Obama.
You know, because I try to ride presidential,
but if you've got nice cufflinks,
you gotta have a nice watch to go with it.
Purple is my favorite color, but being a Buc,
you go red, you got pewter.
So, I think that's why it was a very unique gift
'cause it matched the colors of our team.
So um, I really enjoy this.
[bass-heavy instrumental music]
This is my chain.
It's broke right now because I do have a one-year-old son.
He literally broke it like two weeks ago!
Like just pulled down on it.
I got it custom so it doesn't have clasps on it.
So, when people pull on it, these linemen, they're dirty.
They try to pull your chain
and they make sure that they get it.
So it's tougher to break this rope than break the clasps.
I gotta come up with a new method because my son,
he broke the letters!
I got this done at Ackerman Jewelers.
This is my first custom piece for my son,
so it means a lot to me.
I know this is always going to be on my neck.
I carry it around with me even when I can't wear it,
Just to represent him.
- [Interviewer] What's on the end?
- So, his initials, Antonor Malachi.
I always tell people like, if you flip the M upside-down,
it's a W, so that stands for his last name.
So there's no reason for me to pay
an extra $250 to get a W on it.
I'm pretty cheap!
- [Interviewer] Do a lot of guys play with their chains on?
- Yeah, I play with my chain on.
That was one of my biggest things, even in college,
playing with my chain on.
Sometimes I tuck it in sometimes I just have it out swingin.
If I play with my chain on, what represent my son.
Yeah, no doubt!
[instrumental jazz funk music]
This Oralabs Lip Minerals is probably my favorite.
Lip Naturals, is probably my favorite chapstick.
Most importantly because it's free.
I take these bad boys out of the training room
every time I get low on chapstick.
And I got so many different flavors.
Like this one is vanilla bean.
My grandmother, the lady that raised me,
was very influential in my life.
Her favorite ice cream was vanilla bean ice cream.
So every time I put some vanilla bean
on my lips I think about my grandma.
That's the hardest part, but man,
when you've got nice lips like me, you gotta be ready.
Put that chapstick on, and then, plus, I talk a lot,
as you can tell.
So, even when you're out there on the field,
like at halftime, I gotta go in there and
put a little chapstick on.
Because, I come in there and I have ashy lips all around.
You know, I got spit over here
and they go, "Jameis, check your lips."
And sometimes licking you lips is not good enough.
So I make sure I have my chapstick.
- [Interviewer] Smallest chapstick
I've ever seen in my life.
- Oh yeah!
But it comes in handy.
Sometimes, I think when you have the longer chapsticks,
it wastes pocket space, but you could just put this
in a small pocket, and pull it out, and viola!
And plus these free, so if I run out
I can always get one from the training room.
This is probably one of the most important things, too.
I gotta have my Mophie, my portable charger.
Because it has like, my favorite part,
it has the iPhone attachment,
and it has just a regular, you know, universal piece.
This charges my Beats, if my Beats are going low.
Especially the big ones.
Now, with the Power Beats Pro, they got the case.
So I can just charge it with the iPhone.
Typically when I wear my big Beats,
I can charge it with this piece.
The thing is like the 200mAh power,
so I can charge really anything.
This thing always comes in handy.
[instrumental heavy-bass music]
This is my iPad.
In here is everything from, shoot, basically,
my whole playbook, my journal.
I got introduced to journaling by
this man called Jim Brogan.
He calls his journals "success journals."
And the very unique thing about this iPad is
it has the pen that's attached to it.
So I won't never have to worry about losing the pen,
I'll never have to worry about the pen not being charged
because when they're attached to this it stays charged.
So anytime I have a thought that comes to my mind,
or I hear something that's worth knowing down,
or jotting down in my journal.
It's easier to just write it down.
I watch film on this bad boy.
This is not my life, but it's pretty close to it!
I've got everything on here.
This is where all the music comes from.
And then it has this nice laptop feature
so it can turn into a laptop.
You know, I got my son on the front.
Yeah, you can see a little peek of his face there.
I got my son on the front, man.
But, that's really it.
These are my essentials, thanks for watching everybody.
Deuces, check me out on Sunday, Monday,
and Thursday night football.
It's coming soon.
