“We will play [NBA] 2K. I’ll be beating him in the game. He does not like that,” Tengben said. “And we’ll just go to little small mom-and-pop spots, go get some Chinese. Chet doesn’t really like to go out too much, because they be bothering them, right?
“But we’ll be in the house, we watch movies, we go in the backyard, but we just chill, honestly, bro. I feel we enjoy each other’s company, because we get to just chill, because we both be working so hard.”
That’s because Tengben’s work and connections have his businesses expanding — even internationally. Last summer, Tengben got a message on WhatsApp from someone asking for multiple haircuts. They were discreet in their messaging, and Tengben was wondering just who they were, but Tengben took the job. “I’m thinking it’s like a prank scammer,” he said.
He went to the designated location only to find the entire Chelsea soccer team waiting to get haircuts. They were in town on a U.S. friendly tour and needed cuts. They found Tengben’s page, and he admitted he wasn’t aware of how famous they were.
“At the end, they’re taking my Instagram, I’m taking their Instagram. They have 10 million followers, 20 million followers, so I’m like, ‘Hold on. I’m like, are y’all well known?’ They’re like, yeah, worldwide,” Tengben said.
The friendships he made that day have now given him a standing invitation anytime he wants to go to London and attend one of their games. But for now, there’s enough to tend to with one of his longest-standing clients in Oklahoma City, with Tengben doing his part to contribute to Holmgren’s dream of an NBA title.
