Starting point is 00:18:26 What's the news, name? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there.
Starting point is 00:18:40 But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. And well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this.
Starting point is 00:19:02 We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm CJ Toledano, and our podcast Point Game is about Defying the Odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game.
Starting point is 00:19:36 His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows. Without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash would get that thing. That man, hell get to fly. He running up the court, licking his fingers, why he got the bar. Like, you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah. You figure it.
Starting point is 00:20:16 out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I love the sounds, the buzzing from the stadium, the chanting from the fans, the announcers calling the place soccer, football, at home. Why do I watch the walk up? That's like asking me, why do I breed?
Starting point is 00:20:44 I inherited that fandom from my mom. I like watching it with my dad. It's a connecting force. From Futuro Studios, I'm Fernando Chavari, and this is American Football, a show about soccer culture in the U.S. and its underdog roots. We go beyond the game to the people and the stories that make it great. A soccer game is a festival. It's not just a game.
Starting point is 00:21:09 It's your culture. I took an elbow to my head, which cracked my skull. It is an American game. The Brazilians don't like hearing that, though. Are they the only ones that don't like that don't like that? Actually, nobody likes that. As we get ready for the men's World Cup this summer, listen to American Football as part of the My Culturhausts podcast network,
Starting point is 00:21:29 available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Call you later. He answered it, y'all, he's too thorough. I wasn't going to answer that. She said, I didn't answer. I thought that was going to interact, but she was wrong. I thought that was being. He's too thorough, though.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Like, he's like, fuck it. No, for real. Listen, this is the thing. I didn't see you in your interviews and they didn't ask you some questions. And your responses, they always be like real as responses. I'm like, I fuck with that. Yeah. Because this is the thing.
Starting point is 00:22:04 Oh, you like that, huh? No, I and do. But however, this is the thing, though, because we're, okay, so me and Trop, we're twins and we're mixed with Black and Samoan, right? So when we was growing up, obviously we've always been licensed in our whole life. So people be trying to, like, comfort us a little bit. you don't have people like say you look like this or you look like that. Also, I seen when you was on poor minds and it was like, so how do you feel when they be saying you look white or you white or you or you?
Starting point is 00:22:34 It was like, I look white. Like, what can you do? And I'm like, oh my God, I love that approach because it's like we do like we sprinkle with a little sum, but we were always super defensive because our daddy is very pro-black. So it was just, it was hard for us to juggle that. You know what I'm saying? I mean, I would like that at first, like, my brothers and sushi, you got to think they're all black. They're all black.
Starting point is 00:22:57 Mm-hmm. So they, like, want to take off of me and woo-woo. So, like, it kind of made me feel like, oh, I got to take off myself. Like, I got to defend my. Because I got, oh, that I just got, like, like, it's being real. Like, who the fuck just waking up someday worrying about me and what I really am? Like, they just literally like, it's a white male. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Sometimes, so, like, you don't really bother. Like, who are you to question? Now that I'm a rapper, though, like, it do be kind of, like, annoying. Because there's a lot going on. Yeah, like, sometimes it'll be like, damn, I'm big of hell, like, in Atlanta or, like, in the South. Like, I'd be real big, so everybody knows. Yeah, or, like, even in the Midwest, but, like, if I go to, like, Seattle or, like, if a page post me in Seattle, it'll be, like. They don't even know who I am.
Starting point is 00:23:46 They'd be, like, who the hell he did? I'm gonna be honest with you, though. The very first time I seen you, I said, why is this white boy saying a nigga like this? I ain't gonna lie like every time like in person, though, like even when it kind of like rappers, peers, fans, like, I never ran into none of that. Yeah, I bet. I swear, I swear to God. Is he lying, though? I know up here like I moved light up here because like I fuck with them boy, but like they already know like in person like they just smear this shit.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Like, oh yeah, that ain't anything. And this is the thing. This is the thing. Like, you could see a bitch or you could see a nigga in a picture. You could see all that or whatever. However, once you feel the energy, you feel the vibe, you feel the, or it hit different. Yeah. I don't rank into a couple of people that I could tell, like, they were hanging on the internet, but they fanned out in person.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Right. Yeah. It'd be like that. Fuck them. But they just be doing it really truthfully more than anything to attract a response. That's how I'd be feeling. Yeah. I ain't never responded to nobody on the internet.
Starting point is 00:24:45 Oh, see, we do. We be in the comments like We don't anymore Shit This was last week Who you say look ugly Who are you talking about We go in on the comments
Starting point is 00:24:55 What was a mermaid It can't worry about that It'd be hard though It'd be hard though But you can't like You know what I'm saying You gotta think like I ain't doing nothing
Starting point is 00:25:03 What they like Yeah And that's the thing It's like Y'all kind of miserable Like you're chronically On the internet And this is all you have to
Starting point is 00:25:13 Judging somebody off a clip And you got to think We choose in to put somebody to have an opinion. You're right. So we can't be mad at their opinion, even if it's someone on the hill, like, making me rich.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Yeah. That's true. How did you get into rapping, though? My partner, who I was telling y'all who died, he made me rap. I would come to the studio every day, like, having girls and, like. He's just seen any. Wait, I got a question.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Was you already having? You already had everything. Not at this time. Okay, so when I first started trying to rap, he had the money. Okay. And he was wanting to push you. He was really just like one of the niggas who had money but couldn't rap but wanted to rap. But he's seen it in you.
Starting point is 00:25:57 Like were you a poet? You were. No, like he would just. The demeanor at this point. Y'all know those niggas who got money who want to rap but came. You got the love. You got it. Yeah, he was on shit like, bro, you need to rap.
Starting point is 00:26:09 But some of them niggas, they'd be like, oh, you should do it. You should do it. You should rap. And then they get in the booth and they're not hitting on that. Yeah, and I, like, so he made me start rapping, it wasn't really talking about nothing. Like, I was a kid, like 17, 18. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:26:24 And then, like, I just didn't care about it right no more. And then I started having paper in the street for real. Like, I built a street career in the wrong lane. So the vision matched the energy. Yeah, but, like, I did it in the wrong lane. Like, I literally, like, started a family, built a home, like, properties, started businesses, like. Oh, nice.
Starting point is 00:26:45 Really like went in the wrong direction the wrong way. Like, you know what I'm saying? And eventually I got locked up. I beat two cases, came home, turned up some more. Then when I called two more cases, and when I met my manager Monday, and I was like, I got to try something with it. We ought to do something different.
Starting point is 00:27:02 Two, three hundred thousand left. And I was like, I just want to rap. Like, let me see if this will work. I put the money behind rap. We went crazy. Like, it was the other day. I love that, but that's the thing, too, though. like some people they might have the look they might have the everything that was going on
Starting point is 00:27:18 they have the aura but they don't have the talent right now that beat is artis so it's like for you it was meant it was ordained yeah it was easy for me to do it talent plus one equal two it was hard to lead them when they alone in the street yeah like i'm gonna lead us alone and i'm focused but you got the voice and you got the flow you got the aura and you write your own shit right yeah of course i do work with writers like at far as like ideas and shit, but like, I have my shit I write. Who's like, who is
Starting point is 00:27:49 somebody you would really like to have as a feature? Probably two-pop. Two-puff. Come on. You see what I'm saying? You see what the fuck I'm saying? This is what I was saying. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:28:05 every answer. That would be a real digger response. Let's go. Come on. Come on. How does your brain work? I mean too. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:28:15 I'm just saying. I know you got some verses laying around for sure. And you're going to kill that shit. You said I want it. I'm buying it. What I personally won't. But like if I had to make a song right now, probably like I go get Trina. Oh, she's coming here.
Starting point is 00:28:31 There we go. She's coming here. Okay. Keep talking. Keep talking. That would go crazy. I'd probably go get. I'd be thinking crazy.
Starting point is 00:28:41 I ain't a lot. Let's let's. Let us go. Let us in. I'm trying to go ask like Michelle Obama to come talking about. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:49 She's going to be like, we're about to. She's going to. She's going to be like, you can be anything that you want to be. No, something like that. That was creative. That was cool. What you want Michelle to say? Keep going, black girl.
Starting point is 00:29:06 Dream big. Like your friend. She ain't. Oh, Michelle Obama is not saying. Michelle Obama is not saying. It's like your friend, though. No, she's not. Okay, first lady.
Starting point is 00:29:17 I do got a question, though, because I do feel like you give, like, you, like, super duper control the traffic in your relationship. So, like, if you... Okay, go ahead. So if you run into a little toxic little something, how do you deal with that? What do you mean by control the traffic? Like, you just give, like you said, I make my baby. Mama, you run shit. No, that's my shit.
Starting point is 00:29:44 That's my baggage. I'm gonna control my baggage. You run shit. If I'm bringing baggage to the relationship, like, I need to handle that. It's true. But if you're talking. If you bring it baggage, it won't be baggage. As you, the fuck you should, because some niggas don't be having control of that.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Yeah, like, but I'm saying, like, a girl that don't just mean, like, I want her to live her life like she would have regularly lived it without me. Like, if you have baggage, it won't touch your girl. Hell, no. But if you got a girl, what are y'all doing? But if a girl being toxic, do you like toxic or no? And she's not emotionally intelligent enough to know she's being toxic.
Starting point is 00:30:21 I'm not even talking to me. But is the older you? He's grown. How old are you? I'm 35. 35? But question is, do you not like a little bit of toxicity? I ain't going to lie.
