Episode Date: May 15, 2025

Fat Joe and Jadakiss are joined by New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. and the three New Yorkers talk everything Yankees, from what Aaron Judge is like in the clubhouse, to the torpedo bats that have the whole offense raking, to last year's disappointing World Series loss to Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers. They ask Jazz for how New York views their rivalry with the Boston Red Sox and how they feel about Juan Soto after he left the Yankees to play for the New York Mets. Jazz tells Jada and Joe how he crafted his approach watching Ken Griffey Jr., Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez, Robinson Cano, and Derek Jeter. Outside of baseball, they discuss Jada and Joe's famous Verzuz Battles against Dipset and Ja Rule, the music Jazz has been putting out, what it means to him to represent the Bahamas, his transition to living in New York City after being traded there from the Miami Marlins, and the work he's been putting in with the Jazz Chisholm Foundation. 4:00 - Coming to New York from Miami 9:00 - Joe & Jada's Verzuz Battles 11:00 - Aaron Judge & Juan Soto 15:00 - Jazz's music career 26:15 - Yankees' rivalries with Red Sox & Mets 29:15 - World Series loss to Dodgers 31:30 - Torpedo bats 40:20 - Jazz's baseball idols 50:00 - Jazz bringing swag to baseball 1:01:30 - Becoming the first MLB All-Star from the Bahamas (Timestamps may vary due to advertisements.)

That's how you know you're really nice. I mean, especially when they just drop it to jazz chisel because you got to be respected to get your name chopped. Listen, I don't know. When you're garbage, they mess it up, they say all six of the names messed up and just leave it. When you that dude, they chop it to two. And they lay out the car.

Now they call it jazz. That's what I'm saying. When they get the one, you all, when they get the one, you know what kind of status in it. He's popping. He's popping. You know, jazz, welcome, man. Yo, let me tell you something, man. I know I'm the super OG, but what, I'm not qualified to wear these shorts right now, right?

I'd be doing too much. Like, they be like, you know, Joe, dress your age if I got the shiny joints on like that. Hey, I tell anybody, they can rock anything, for real. Like, if you want to, you can rock anything, for sure. That's what I'm talking about. It's all on how you feeling. Fact. Yeah, but that's not.

When I wore them Kanye boots, they got at me. Legend, they shot the place. They put the house solo swore on me. But I wore an outfit. This day was like, yo, don't come out the house. Like, they were shooting for miles away. They had me with Chubacca and everybody with them shoes. And they, I don't, well, I don't understand.

They flagged you up. I'm on the gram. I'm fly. They're like, yo, dress your age. Well, what you want me? with a 10x Pele and some bell bottom Jeboz. Like, what do you want me to do? Not be current, but anyway, welcome to the Joe and Jay to show.

What's up, Jazz? No, I appreciate y'all. How y'all doing? Chilling, brother. Happy to have you. Thank you. We got too much love for you, man. You know, I'm a big-time Yankee fan.

You know what I'm saying? And, you know, I've been watching you. You come up from Miami. What was it like playing in Miami versus New York City? I mean, at first, playing in Miami when I first got there, was like playing in New York City because, like, I grew up in the Bahamas in Florida, so, like, you playing at home. So every game, I'm leaving, like, 50 tickets, 40. I at least got 15 friends in the stands.

Wow. And my brother at every game. So it's like, every game I have someone to play in front of for me, you know what I mean, who I'm doing it for. So, like, you know, your guys got that conk. That con. You eat that conk salad out there in the J. Oh, Bahamas got the cock.

I don't eat. My whole family eat everybody, my mom, my wife. You plan yourself. Conk might be number one. Bahamas, I think they run the conk game, right? Yeah. Yeah. Y'all got the best conk in the game.

It came from us. I believe it. Pop, you like conk, right? You never had conk? No, conk is the shit. You know, Trick Daddy, he fried a conk. So one time we had the projects, the pumpkin beans. You ain't never been a bamboo shot in the Bahamas?

Bambooshack? No, they bring the conch to, you know, we stay in there. Let, man. You know, we stay in the luxurious. You know, they bring the conk man, come with the shelf. Oh, you got a private chef coming up. Man, you need to be at one of them civilians. When you're hanging out with DJ Calla, you get an exclusive conk in the Bahamas.

This is a legendary flow. They come up in there with their own stand in the mansion. and they make the conk for you. But let me tell you, Bahamas got some serious comp. You know? Hey, yo. No, all right. I'm a fat boy, so I'm going to tell you, like, forget about it.

He ain't that fat. So, Miami, New York, it's the big stage. They sent you here. What was the difference? What was the transition coming from the MIAO up here to the... I feel like Apple. going from the city to a different city wasn't really that much of a difference

it was more like driving in and you see in that Yankee Stadium every time you come in like that's a different feeling like you you drive in you see 10,000 fans already outside waiting

and it's 2 o'clock the game at 7 like I ain't even get to work yet why you had my work before me you feel me and that's how much like the love is so it's like you getting there like you from you step inside

that building bro you just like yeah I got to do it today I can't not do it today you know what I mean baseball got like different white fans like you got white fans I made this a cold thing no I'm just trying to tell you

no listen I'm telling you they got different don't go messing with cotton he's good in any upstate if his car breaks down in upstate the farmer's coming out for jazz that's a fact that's a different kind of fan

it's a different kind of fan am I correct you're correct a hundred for it bro What? It's already half in low-key. Yeah. Bro, like, I ain't gonna lie.

I love this state. I went driving four hours away and came back just to go on a four-hour drive, like on an off day. It was just, like, beautiful outside. It is. And, like, bro, I was at a subway. Like, didn't know where a gas station was at a subway chilling. And these people just was like, oh, my God, you just. And I was like, bro, what?

Like, I'm three hours away from the city. And so the thing. that stands out the most to you and me is I feel like baseball is America's sport and the demographic is real older. It's older. And they've never been able to find somebody that's so cool. What makes you say the demographic of baseball is old?

All little kids play baseball, crack? I understand that. What I'm trying to tell you is that if you look in the stands next Yankees game, you go to. You're going to see little kids in all. old people. But a lot more old people. But what I'm trying to say is, he's bringing the cooler baseball.

He got his change on, his swag, he's making music. Like, when I see him, I'm like, finally, look, you're the first baseball player in America that I ever went to a store. We're shopping at the store in Washington Heights. And they told me a picture of the Godspeed shirt. They was like, Jazz Ward yesterday. Look at Instagram. They ain't doing that with no other baseball players.

He's got the money, he's swaggy. He got the most, you know, he's very status. I gotta be tapped in. I mean, like, for me, like, this is my culture, you feel me? Like, where I come from, like, yeah, I'm from the Bahamas, but I also grew up in Florida. So, like, where I come from is all about having that swag, having your own flow, like, doing what you want to do. You feel me? Like, that's how I grew up.

And if you had that confidence, like, ain't nobody can tell you what to do. You know what I mean? You know, I'm from Florida, too. I've been in Miami for 22 years. But, you know, Jada at the versus, I thought he took shots at me. It's the real New York. Not the guys that moved down to Florida.

I was going to ask them. I'm outside with it. Not those guys. I'm in the crowd like, yo, Jado. Like, what's going on? No love. Dude, I got to run out this building. Like, he's shooting down the guys, the migrators.

He's crazy. With the snow bunnies, we moved down there for the winter. Yo, Jada, man. What you were staying? You was getting that cam. What you was thinking when you was taking shots? What, what you saying? I was out of my mind that day.

I wasn't on anything, but the zone I was in was Adderall War mode. It was a very different space I was in that day. You know, I'd never been there before. You know, I always wanted to ask you about that versus. Was it personal? No, not really. It wasn't, those are our brothers. It just, you know, it was a moment.

You know? No. I feel you. Is this like a sports moment? It's a hip-hop moment. Facts. Let me tell you something. When I sparred with J-Roole, I was staying in the building in Jersey, Uncle Dan's building.

When I hit the first floor, the man, the doorman was like, get them crack. I jumped in the car, the FedEx truck pulled up, take him the wall, crack, drag him. By the time I got a Madison Square gun, I heard so much. war like I was possessed like I walked up in there I was like yo I gotta kill him I got like they hype that must feel like Belonga feels like that

going to a fight or something like that like no it's the closest thing to fighting you know going to like avert that's what you said you was like fucking possessed yeah it's just a lot it was a lot man let's talk about Aaron Judge we're something with Aaron Judge

I was Aaron Judge because we, I think I've seen him at one of the whole concerts, one of the four-four-four concerts, but he was enjoying himself, so I couldn't really, couldn't ask him. How is he the kind of teammate is he, what type of guy is besides a big, somebody that could grab you up? That guy could play Batman, Superman, one of them guys. Captain America.

No, no, I'm saying, for real. Like in the movie, he could be Batman, Superman, or Spider-Man. He might even be Thor. this guy like man this man bro I ain't gonna lie

he he one of the brothers though like he won't us he'd be hanging he'd be chilling always on the music like you wouldn't even know

but he loves music like he'll go to the studio and like chill you know just to listen to it you know like he's one of those guys

he's like you would never think what you see out there is who he is you feel me like he's just chilling like he's always

like a vibe you feel me like they're always positive I ain't never heard him say one negative thing in the world. That's the type of guy you always want to be around. You feel me?

I went with him. I was delusional. I flew in from, I think, Dubai. And it was the night that Kanye had the concert in Madison Square Garden when he was floating in the sky. And it was Beckhouse picked me up with Aaron Judge and a bunch of Yankee dudes. And I went with him to that concert.

It was probably the most amazing concert I ever been to. But we dropped them all. home and everything, you know what I'm saying? He was just a cool dude. You know what I'm saying? He'd be chilling. Yeah, he was a cool dude. Yeah, he'd be cooling, bro.

He'd do anything a regular person do, play video games all day. Like, he a big kid, bro. You know, I gotta keep it a buck with you. You gotta give me something on Juan Soto. What's the deal with his teammate? No, no, hold up. What's the deal with Juan Soto? Just a little something on Juan Soto because he left the Yankees.

He went across town. I'm not going to answer for you, but you could just say something. I mean, I love being a Yankee, so. That's it. I would want to be a Yankee, brother. Man, who don't want to be a Yankee? By the way, I don't know if you ever been, have you ever been, because, you know, I did, I performed last year.

Yeah, don't do it. They ain't goes tooting his own horn. No, I'm not tooting my own. The first guy to ever do Yankee Stadium in. You said it, not me, but I'm going to say something, even though it was Jay-Z and Alicia, but let me say something to you. No, but you walked on the field.

Yeah. You and Ice Cube did. That broke barriers for hip-hopper. Tim's on, do you know what I'm saying? Over and Alicia did they think. Bad Bunny, oh, well. The walk on the field rocking from the outfield to the infield. I was like, this is crazy.

Yeah. I love that. That was crazy. But let me tell you some walking, too, before I got on the field. I was in the inside. You realize inside the inside the, the locker room, how rich the Yankees got a baseball field inside the baseball field.

I'm telling you. Yo, I'm not exaggerating. Am I correct? You right. Inside the locker room is a baseball field. Like they're swinging. Like, yo, I'm like, yo, they're in the cold plunge. They're in.

Am I exaggerating? I never seen nothing like this. That's when you know, oh, there's wealth in the Yankee organization. because they got their own baseball field inside the baseball field that we can't see. Yeah, the clubhouse is like the size of a baseball field. That whole thing back me is crazy. I can't remember.

That was last year's dudes and I stunk up the place, man. They don't want me back up in that locker room. Now you got to pull up. Pull up. Come on. Pull up. You're coming back for revenge. You got to because that's what we're coming back for.

That's right. Your music career. What's up how you, you know, you sent us some bangers, sent us to heat rocks. How long you've been. making music and what you plan on doing? You plan on releasing a project? You plan on how?

See, I want to release a project, but I feel like, for me, at least I play baseball. So, like, I feel like people think what I do in my off time has something to do or what I'm doing on the field when it doesn't. Because, like, it's two separate things. I come home, right before I go home, I can make a song within an hour. You feel me? Like, it don't take that long to go out there and just have some fun. And what is ever on your mind, you could say.

So for me, it's just a way to release my stress and stuff. And then my people love it. A lot of other people love it. I play it when I go places. People be rocking out to it. So I'll be like, you know what, I'm going to release it eventually. So probably within this year. When you go bad up?

Oh, yeah, every time. I don't walk up to nobody else. That's fine. But myself, yeah. That's fine. Music. I have to. And you get the choice to hear what you want, you know, what kind of music you want.

Yeah. One year. Oh, yeah, because I mean, it's my songs. So it's like I'll send it to him. Let's play one of his songs, bro. Let's play one of his songs. I got this song named Ballin. It's really me and Nick Gordon is that, you know Flash Gordon.

We used to play for the Yankees. Yeah. His son is my best friend. And me and him make music together all the time. Like, he's on his way to New York right now. So we be chilling and like I like talking in my talk, you feel me? Like, I like, do. Things that I experienced, like I went to a theater, rented out the theater, right?

Just having fun. Me and my dogs, chilling, go watch a movie, chill, whatever, the theater. We always balling and stuff, so, you know, we just have fun. We baseball players who like to go out, have fun, enjoy ourselves, and, like, let the people know. You feel me? Like, we hang out with our boys, like me and Boogie, close as hell. So, like, just stuff like that. Let's hear the joint, brother.

Let's hear it. Ballin. I took the tough, I'm off the coop. I knew I lived like I can't fall off, thank God, I'm still bothering. My only problem is I cannot mess. Boy, I just ran and out the whole damn theater, yeah, that's facts. Telling you already, you know, I'm trying to smash, I'm trying to crash out.

Just throw it to me while I blow your back out. Drilling and she met, let mama type-eye. It's game time, stadium back. I'm a home running nigger with a back now. I don't give all my shirt that it takes. I'll be rapping and be singing to these holes like I'm Drake. I'm getting. Take your bitch and fly out of the state.

Yeah, okay, okay. Whoa. I'm just thinking the athletes come a long way. I think you need Travis Scott on there. Then it's out of it. Get a little, get an eight bar from Travis on there. You out of it? Possible.

You know what I mean? I'll be having fun with it. Yeah. You know they always say rapists want to be athletes. Athletes want to be rapists. It's like, but you see, you mean, the lamello ball. What's his name of ball? Jello.

Jell ball? The one that rap is jell. Yeah. I mean, he pulled it off. Yeah. Ball player, he pulled it off. He threw one out the park. That choice is a joint.

Yeah. What I'm saying? That should be inspiration. You know what I'm saying? You should be able to do whatever you want to do. Dame is nice. Bridges from the Hornets is nice. Yeah, Dan is nice.

The yellow ball threw that thing out of the park. He had a home run. He put a hit out. Last one before him was Shaq. You got to have another one, though. Shack is the last one before him. You got to have a, another one.

Yeah, he's going to have another one. Yadena, what's from with you, man? That's crazy. That's crazy. You know, he's got to have a follow-up. No, you're going to, that's what people don't understand. You got to have a follow-up. So, say, I came out with, my first song, it was called Flojo.

One of the first Spanish dudes or whatever you want to name that just shit went number one rap single. And I was feeling myself. I was in every club in New York City. At that time, I ain't even traveled. And then, but after a while, no matter what, The hit is it wears out. So they're starting to look at you like...

It's the next one now. Where's the next one, Joe? Like, you know, and I'm sitting up in there, like... Then I realize, yo, damn, Flojo Fade and I need another joint, or I'm going to be washed up out here. So that's what Jad is alluded to. Who's some of your favorite artists?

Going through something like that is a traumatic experience, but it's also not the end of their life. That was my dad, reminding me and so many others who need to hear it, that our trauma is not our shame to carry, and that we have big, bold, and beautiful lives to live after what happened to us.

I grew up in the Bronx where it looked like a war zone. and the way we would know, you know, we'll see the lights in the sky we'd know it was a night game. And so you go in Yankee Stadium.

The Bronx really dead ass looked like it was war zone and when you're going there, the grass was green. You know what I'm saying? So Yankee Stadium did a lot for me more. Give me a lot of hope. Walking up in Yankee Stadium just seeing different people from all over.

And, you know, we had a thing called, well, we're going to talk about the torpedo no bat, but bat day. Yo. Oh, when they get you the little joints that you, yeah. Bad day. They have bat day in Yankee Stadium.

Yeah, they get those, yeah. For you, no, no, real bats. But for you, just to get in Yankee Stadium, you have to have $1.50, $2.50 to go to the bleachers. For you to get back home with that bat. Like, you had to go from Yankee Stadium and walk back to your projects. They was trying to rob you in every corner of every block

to get your bat. It's the Yankee bat. They bat. You can bat somebody else with your bat. Yeah, but it's hard, though. You pass in Vietnam, you passing Cortland. You passing these crazy-ass projects and everybody wants the bat.

You don't think about once they give you the bat, how do you get the baseball bat back to your projects? That thing was like the warriors out there. I'm not lying to you, man, but a lot of inspiration. I like that. With that, with that, Trying to smuggle your bat back home from Bad Day. Now you've been playing for the Bronx Bombers.

What's it like right now, we're in the rivalry going to the Knicks versus the Celtics. How's the Red Sox versus the Yankees rivalry? I mean, I feel like we've won at the last couple of years from what I've seen. You know what I mean? Like, I feel like it hasn't really been a thing lately. Like died down a little? Yeah, died down lately. Because it's so bad a little bit, you feel?

You feel me? But with the Mets, I think it went more to the Mets now. You feel me? It's like that Subway Series is like the thing right now. That's because that Soto with the Mets. That got to be bad blood. Yeah. So I feel like that's the biggest thing going on with the rivalries right now.

It's like that Soto versus Judge, you know what I mean, Lindor and Stanton, like the names. You feel like me? You're in there too, boy. You're active. Yeah. I mean, I'm super active. You're always in something. every play, every move, something, you're in there, you're involved.

See, I don't like going to see teams play where players are just standing around and you forget they even in there. You're active. No, facts. When to lose, you involve what's going on. A question I want to ask you that I want to ask every athlete, right? So you grew up in the Bahamas and Florida. When you come play for the Yankees, do you feel the rivalry towards the Mets or?

Red Sox always just another day at the job. I ain't going to lie. My first game with the Yankees was against the Red Sox. Wow. I got traded mid-rivalry game. Last game would be the decisive of like if we won the series or not. And we won that game. My first game back, that's when I stole two bases, all that stuff.

Like did all that crazy stuff at the end of the game. But it was like, bro, yeah, you feel it. like you step because like you step in the stadium and the fans start talking to you crazy too like that's what you know flamish they talk to everybody crazy you feel me like when you talk to me crazy i get active i ain't gonna lie i'm really active with it like i hit a home run and i'm looking straight in the stands i'm trying to figure out who is talking like you feel me like i'm that guy so you like me you care about what you say like it ain't really care but like since you saying i'm overrated let me show you something are you telling me i'm suck i suck and i can

What happened in game five with the five-one league?

Just don't want it again. Game five, that's when I performed. That's another shot. I mean, this is how we get to the bottom of this, crack. You know what I mean? You got to put some things on the table. Listen, we got to iron it out. Then we can throw without that.

That was the game. I was at that game. You didn't perform that game. Not that game. I was at the game, though. With Judge missed the ball. No, he was out of the game. Tell us what happened, right?

Tell us. I don't know what happened. Baseball happened, bro. What you want me to say? Baseball is baseball, bro. Like, you can be standing right here. And the ball hits. You got to understand what I'm trying to do.

And it's gone. He wants to retire. He wants to forget about that and get on with it. So you're going to help us just think about this season and forget about the whole World Series meltdown. I'm chilling. Baseball player told me once, Super legend.

Not a regular one. Reggie? Yeah, that's what I was about to see. No, no, no. Super. All right, well, three-fourths of a legend. What do you how you want me to do?

I went to C.C. Sabathias. That's a legend. No, no, I'm not talking about him. But I went to his remarriage. He married in the castle with like, where they make wine and shit in San Francisco and all that, right?

E-40, what's the name of that? Napa Valley or something? Napal, there you go. But I hung out with a bunch of baseball legends. The guy, all legends. And I asked him, when is it over? And Super Legend told me it ain't over to the last strike. He's seen comebacks down to the last strike.

So they said the game ain't over till. Do you agree? Yeah. like bro you the other day it was a team up nine in the eighth inning and they lost 11 to eight or something like that that got hurt what that's the most annoying shit ever bro i ain't gonna cop like that's the shit that really gets you like what the hell like what the alley i swear yo let me ask you about what the torpedo they went Ham, is every team using...

I wish you were the boarded us two torpedo bats here today. Is everyone using the torpedo in the Major League Baseball? It's just the Yankees using the torpedo bat. It's so funny because I feel like everybody using... Everybody is using it. Lendor, everybody using it. It just ain't working, like, y'all making it work. That was just, like, crazy because it was just like everybody just zoomed in on the vats

just because we were playing good. You feel me, like half of our team don't even use them. You feel like half uses them, half don't. And sometimes I don't even use them. Like, sometimes I go up there with the torpedo. Sometimes I go out there. You were smacking it out the park. And so, like, you know, it gave us.

What's the mystique with the torpedoes? They were hitting them out of the park. Every single bat up. You know, the people say they're saying foul play. They tried to say we was cheating. Too much turping time. Everybody can use them, right? Yeah, everybody used them.

How the hell we're cheating? If we... Everybody using them. Yeah. Everybody using them. But you hitting them out the park. they built our park that hit homies

the higher dynamics you gotta take advantage of it yeah now playing with herks on I'll see you got some nice jewelry what I've been seeing it started like little joints with a cross on it

now you see I'm looking at the games they got they can go right from the outfield on stage they got crazy shit what's up with all this jury during the game

bro that's crazy Because, like, when I first got to the league, that wasn't happening. Like, that wasn't a thing before I got to the league. Like, yeah, guys had on, like, their little chains, small, like, one chain. Like, I came in the league and I was like, you know what? I'm going to wear all three of my chains. I'm going.

I'm going to have a gold with diamonds. And then I'm going to have a gold with a gold lock. Like, with a diamond lock. Like, I was just doing it all. Like, that was my rookie year. Then second year, I started to, like, design my chains. Like, I had cross chains, like, all type of different pendants and stuff like that. And then, like, by my third year, fourth year, like, everybody started rocking chains.

And I was like, well... But you ain't badden up with some big-ass shit like that, right? No, I wouldn't go up in this one. Nah, nah, no. It's a little bit too much. Oh, yeah, you crazy to go... Yeah, this is a little bit too much. Yeah, that's big.

This big. I couldn't do this. But, like, all my chains now, like, when I realized everybody started to do the chain trend, like, where Cubans and diamond chains, I just started, like, making my chains wearing one chain a game, but just making it. it super fire and super details, like towards whatever I wanted to be. You feel me?

Yeah. That's how I just differentiate myself. As a hip-hop fan and a fan of jury, I definitely appreciate when you go out batting up there and you got your jury on. I'd be like, yo, hey, you know, he with us. You know what I'm saying? Train is coming, baby.

When I first seen you, your cleats was crazy. You had to, it was crazy as cleats than everybody on the field. How you feel about just bringing swagger to baseball? Just swaggering, period, in life. I mean, that's another thing, like, coming into the league that you didn't really see much of. Like, you didn't see, like, the painted cleats.

You didn't see the customized cleats before I got up there. Like, I got up there, and, like, it was just... I remember myself. As soon as I got to the big leagues, it was like, bro, I remember who I was. Like, I wasn't on a... I just left my contract with Adidas. as soon as I got to the big leagues.

And I was like, you know what? I'm going to just try and rock out with my Jays that I've been thinking about doing. I already had these painted up, waiting, like, chilling. Oh, you was already thirsty to get rid of the deal. You feel me like I was ready to wear my Jays. So, like, I go out there, I wear my Jays. Like the two different color cleats, like painted them up, anime,

all that stuff, got to go crazy. From there, like, I went to Nike. me and Nike came up with some custom designs after Nike signed with Jordan then like brought out the ice cream cone cleats where like they actually have like the pattern on the cleats waffle like a waffle cone like and they have the ice cream with the slime going down and like I just started to design them crazier because it's just like bro I want to get into my like my world you feel me like I want people to understand like I could go out there and rock anything I want to rock and still be the freshest on the field every day.

You know what I mean? Like, I could be simple. I could be wearing columbias and I'd still be the freshest. You feel me? Expect that. You know what's crazy is I collect sneakers, right?

Does he? No, no, but I collect sneakers. And one day I went to my idol, Derek Jeter. And I said, yo, man, because he was Team Jordan. And so I went to him and I was like, yo, and I got a very beautiful relationship with Derrick Jada. And I was like, yo, I need the exclusive PEs, this and this. You know, he never made an exclusive P.E.

Like, Deroghita never took advantage of that team Jordan and everything you say you're doing. He had the, he was the, like, he was the plug of plugs that never took advantage of that. You know, Mello got all kinds of things. Everybody got on kind of things. Derek Jada never. made a sneaker like he never said yo let me get a Yankee pinstripe this

and this and that and I was just like damn I had to verify that first I thought he was lying to me so I had to go deep in Jordan be like you know they gotta be there was like nah he never you know he wasn't into it but you know CC has some cleats they made they made him the one of the blue suades right 11s yeah yeah I got those

but that wasn't yeah that's not his original you know He ain't go crazy. You know what I mean? Like Chris Ball went crazy. Now with your confidence and flared, do you feel people think it's coming off of arrogance because you're just so confidence in yourself? A thousand percent. I've heard that since I was like a kid, though.

Like, I played in the Little League World Series. I was hitting home runs and pimping home runs as a kid too. But like all I heard is, oh, you're so arrogant. You're so cocky, bro. I'm like, bro, I just believe in myself. Maybe you should believe in yourself. See where you get. You feel me like, where you get it for believing in yourself?

Like, who said I ain't cocky? I'm confident. You feel me? Like, my grandma always told me if I could go and do something and believe in that, bruh. Stand on it. Like what? Stand on it.

No matter who coming in front of you, bro. Stand on it. So, like, that's where I get my stuff from. Like, that's why, like, with my music, like, after people started telling me it was fire, I could stand on it. I could go in front of anybody and be like, my music's fire, bro. Like, you can listen to this and I can tell you this is fire. You feel me?

Like, I go out there, I play. baseball like and then people ask me like bro you act like such a regular person and I'm like because I am you feel me like I mean I just hang rob each other yeah I'm surprised why fans or people just can't believe you a regular person like it's weird man it happens to us like oh you're a regular dude or what you want me to be I'm a hell I'm saying we regular people you know what you think I was a cyborg oh no they think we clones and all that like you know this show goal number one they're gonna Let's say this is the Joe and Jada clones that knew how to do. People are crazy in this world right now.

You believe in clones, though? Hell no. But what I'm trying to tell you is that I don't believe in clones. You believe in clones? I don't know yet. Ooh, that was a good answer. In baseball. Who did you look up to in baseball?

Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. You're saying that there's human being clones. You believe that? There might be, bro. there might be I'm not going to lie to you

there might be after that I got to ask you if the world is flat do I have to answer that? Don't yet you could do you believe

the world's flat I don't believe it's round I can say that I think it's not a sphere oh it's Tupacala see this is a different thing

wait one more thing I think we're in you know what I mean New York These little town blues. Sometimes, man. Sometimes things just don't make sense and add up to me.

So I just be like, you know what? I'm going to just think. I can respect that. You feel me? Yeah, we're almost in a snow globe type thing. You feel me? Who'd you look up to playing baseball? Who was your idols?

Like, some of the people you? Ken Griffey. Okay, fine. Yeah, Ken Griffey, Barry Bonds, Arod, Peter, Robinson Canoe. if you even look at my swing and I always tell everybody this it starts off at Robinson Canoe

gets into Barry Bonds and the finish is Griffey if you actually watch baseball and you watch me swing that's literally how it looks that's crazy to me hold up Jada Jada Jada Jada that's crazy to me because in music I think I'm KRS

LL KUJ and Heavy D right but I understand the music because I can make some girls No no I'm just that's what I think I'm made up But I'd never seen a baseball player or an athlete described, like, you see my swing and starts off like that shit is nuts. I think you're both incredible because I don't, I just think I'm me. I don't, I never looked at me with, I never like just stole things from,

that's like Kobe. I still, I'm a repetitive still, but I still didn't, I still don't think like I'm made up of, that's fine. Now I got to go home and make myself something. I got to go home and put myself... Who you think? I don't know. I never thought of it like...

Could you think of now? If you were to think of doing artists... Because it got to be... Y'all had original. Those was original. I don't want to just blurt out three garbage. I really mean it, but I've been thinking every time I say shit, I think I'm crazy. But the man just came up in here.

No, he said it first. He said it first. I said he said the shit was flat and clones... That's crazy. Just before that. I ain't say it. I'm just keeping it a buck. But, you know what I mean?

Did your grandmother teach you how to play baseball? Yeah, my grandma did teach me how to play baseball. Wow. Yeah, she played professional softball. Oh, that's great. Wow. You know, I know a thing about softball, they don't want me to talk about that. You know, I'm a legend in them streets.

Yo, I'm a legendary pitcher in the Bronx. I'm telling you. Softball, stick ball. Softball. He said stickball. Softball. Go to the Bronx. They'll tell you Joe Drag was a horse.

You're striking everybody. are awesome. I got a pitcher name United. Yes. We got to have a Joe and Jane a sports call game.

Rizer. I'm too old now. I'm washed up. You're on the mound. You ain't got to move that much. No, that means a lot. What's in? Let me get an end.

All my friends my age start working out. Rich's shoulders messed up. My man, Rich the Barber shit is messed up. We're going to make... Look at the rules. Everybody got to have a ailment.

And to get all the participants got to have something wrong with them. I am very... It can be even. I am very smart about not overextending my physical body when I know I'm going to fuck the shit up, okay? I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it.

Why don't I got to prove? I'm going to throw one pitch too many shit Tommy John. Fucked up. You're going to get Tommy John over a few softball pitches crap. Knock it off. I'm telling my knees is bad. And so the doctor would tell me when I was younger playing pitching in the concrete,

He said, yo, you pitching in a concrete that fuck up your knees. I had to retire ever since I love so. It's nothing I could do. I had to retire. Listen, how you feel about the changes, a couple of the new changes in the game, the pitch clock and things of that nature? How you feel? I mean, I like the pitch clock.

I mean, it makes the game faster. Like, bro. You go home quicker, huh? Boy. I do love my house I'll tell you that But for real Like it just be like

Sometimes it just is a drag And I understand being a professional athlete And everything Like especially like sometimes you need to take a minute to breathe Bro like you You're in front of 50,000 people Like you feel me like every day too So sometimes when it starts getting to you

I get that you need that You might need that extra 30 seconds But not every day You feel me like Some games is going four and a half hours It was going really long, man. I've watched games. I love baseball, but five hours into a baseball game, bro.

I'm dead. I remember when that shit, when I was literally, it went past the honeymoons. I already thought about what I was supposed to eat. The baseball game went past the honeymooners. You know, they used, I'm telling you, I saw a game that was so long that they canceled. The honeymoon is supposed to come on. Yeah, like the honeymoon was coming in on 11, 12 o'clock at night. They kept the games.

I'm still going on I used to come on Channel 11. Yes, Picks. You remember that? They canceled the honeymoonest. That was a long game, bro. That would have hurt. Many, many years that, you know what? You probably wasn't.

Art Connie. You wasn't our carny. That was my show, the honeymoonest. They canceled the honeymoonest. I was like, yo, this game is long. I'll tell you, I've been a part of a game that was seven hours. We play 18 innings. And I was only 19 years old.

I was in professional. I just got. Like two years into professional baseball, 19 years old, we're in Cane County, Chicago. They played you all 18 innings? Who else was going to play? You can't do their subs anyway in baseball. They get mad at Coach Tibbs for playing the Knicks, 45 minutes. Baseball, you got to, you can't sub, but you can't go back in.

Yeah, you can't go back in and out. When you sub in baseball, he's over. Bro, them 18 innings, bro, you can imagine the score was, you want to hear the score of the game? What was the score? One zero. That was hell of a deep. The hell of a pitch. Somebody, something.

The defense that day, he don't have no torpedoes involved in. Yeah, they didn't have no torpedoes. Bro, the diving catches, the double plays. Bro, that game was insane. But it was literally seven hours, bro. Was it worth it? No. No.

What do you mean? You said, was it worth it? We lost. Oh, that was even worse. Seven hours out there to lose is not fun. blending vice's signature dynamic storytelling with the high-octane world of sports vice sports brings an exciting and diverse range of programming that goes beyond the game catch action-packed live events and exclusive sports documentaries and profiles only on vise tv

You play here now. Where's the best. Where you reap the most benefits off the field. New York. Yeah, that's like. Just asking for a friend. I ain't, you know. Off the field?

Of course. New York? Yeah, it's just. It's just. Kind of crazy, though. Music. Oh, yeah. Everything is here.

Yeah, it's one-stop shop. You feel me? You're the king of New York. You're the king of everywhere. Let me tell you something, bro. They fashion week. Everything come down here. Everything touch here.

So, you know, last night you go to the Nick game. They got the Kardashians all front. Like, this is like, let me tell you something. New York got a lot of stars. Like celebrities, big-time stars. Like, it's like they putting them on. up a deck now. They ain't just courtside. It's too many.

There's too many superstars in New York City. If you look at it, the Kardashas is there, the bad bunnies is there, the Cardi Bs, the Stephons, the disc ones. The Sopranos, the disc, the Tina Faze, the disc. It's just too many stars in New York City. Now, if we were

somewhere else in the B market or C market, that shit opened all day. The court side is open. This is a hard ticket to get. Hard to get a ticket. Hard to get a ticket. I heard that. What was the most expensive ticket for the game?

What, 500,000 something like that? 130,000? I don't know. It was 54,000 the seat, the game I went. I was tempted to sell it. I would have never caught a ticket again. You know that shit was 54,000 a seat. That's crazy.

I would never do that. I ain't going to lie to you. What? I ain't paying 54 a ticket. Why not? Huh? Why not? Well, I've done it.

I can do a lot with 50, Man, yeah, yeah. New York, Nick, a game, a Nick floor seat experience is like a bucket list of life that, you know. You could cross that off. I kind of did it for free, so, I mean, I'll take it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, you know. That's why I would never pay for the ticket. Well, sir, let me tell you something, man.

I've paid that much even more for boxing matches. No, I'll do that. You know, this shit is crazy because your man, Egarbalanka. little man, Egabalanga, fight Canello. I'm out there with my family in Vegas. His manager, they gave me some suspect. For me is, I'm not going

10th row. I'm not going 5 row. I got to be front row. So you want to sell? Because somebody you don't like, your enemy, going to come sit, right? You know, we call that the Joe Button seats. You know what I'm second row? I don't even got a hood. You ain't got a hood?

I don't even got a hood. Yo, listen. Them second, third row, that ain't. I can't do it. I got to sit front row. I'll give you my experience. What you call them seats? The Joe Button seats.

Them shit's second row. You know, perfect example. Him and 50 got some shit. And I'm sitting courtside. He was right behind y'all. Okay, but he's behind. Those were still considered floor seats.

Those are anything. I didn't know that. He is A and B. I'm not trying to be disrespectful. But the man. had a little something going on with 50 and why God put 50 cents front row and he's in like third row

like that would bother me if I was Joe Buttons. It happened to me before. It happened to me before. We're not just, but we just squashed. If he didn't bump in the fifth would he had a nice experience at you. You got a good seat but the problem is you got to always expect the enemy might

come from, bro. Yo, what are you? No. What are you thinking? This man is funny. I'll tell you the truth. The enemy will come front row. Look what happened to Joe Button. That's the only

example you can give me in there. I'm going to give you another one. Okay. I went to a baby face concert. Yo. Hold up. All right. Let me hear it. I got to hear it. I got to hear it. I'm going to a baby face concert. Once again, 50 cent is the culprit. We just squashed the beef for 50 cent. Everybody's cool.

I'm in the second row. Natina got me the tickets up second row. The man come and sit in the front row right in front of me. Yo, crack, what's up? Yo, hi, Mrs. Crack? I was like, oh, never again. Fifth?

I feel it You call that arrogant I feel it I feel it I'm not giving the person the opportunity To sit in front of me It's just I don't know

It just I want It happened to me Is what I'm trying to tell you What happened to Joe button He's standing on that He's standing on that He don't like that shit. You ain't sitting in front of you.

Man. I make sure I never invite. I went to the Belong, let me tell you, I went to the Belonga fight. The seats cost me, let's just say, close to $100,000 or something, right? But the problem was, you know, usually when you get them tickets, somebody sells them tickets. Obviously, the person who sold me these tickets, I don't know, because we buy them online, was Canello's family. So I'm sitting. You're in a hundred, man.

Mexicans, what, like this? My wife and my daughter were a hundred Canelo Mexicans, they all had sweatsuits on, like you got Canello this and I'm there like, Belonga, for sure I was getting my ass beat. For sure, the cartel was in that motherfucker. I'm sitting there like that. I'm like, how to, my line, Chris?

In your life, I'm always going to say me. All these easy answers fee. Yeah. Easy. Yeah. They should have said excluding me. Now, on another note, community, on the community tip, you got the Jazz Chisholm Foundation. Tell us about that.

I mean, so I got this foundation that I give back to kids in the Bahamas, Florida, and New York. So I have a little league in the Bahamas. I have a tribal ball team through Florida. And now I do camps in New York, too, for all the little kids, try to give them Jordan Cleeds. I'm a brand ambassador of gloves and part owner of it, Aria, absolutely ridiculous. So I try to give out free gloves, free Jordan stuff. And, you know, I just try to give the kids, like, from where I'm from, at least, I'm from the hood. So I try to give all the kids from the hood, like just the things that they dream of, like you said, like J's and stuff like that.

I could tell you that me as a kid from the Bronx, I used to go to the game with the Dave Winfield Foundation. I never forgot that my whole life Like you know what I'm saying Even if it was the bleachers They would take some of the time They'll take us all over there And I remember one day I'm at All Star Weekend

And I seen Dave Winfield For the first time ever I think it was like Houston I jumped on his car He knew I was fat Joe too He opened the door You fat Joe I said yo Dave Winfield You know your tickets man

It really helped me When I was a kid man That's a big thing When you help the youth and you get them to play their favorite sport and you support them and all that. That's a huge thing you're doing. I just want you to know it to stick with a kid forever.

No, for sure. That's why I do it, really, is because, like, I want these kids to have these moments to, like, meet their idols. Like, I have a lot of friends in baseball, you feel me? Like, Aaron Judge is one of my best friends. Like, that's almost everybody's favorite player. Like, you feel me? So, like, bringing him out to see the kids,

Fopi in New York is big. Like, people love him. I got friends from Miami, friends from L.A., everybody, you feel me? Like, when you bring it in, these kids never forget it, you feel me? I was one of them kids. I met Hanley Ramirez when I was 12, and he gave my whole Little League team batting gloves. I still have the batting gloves. I feel, I'm in the big leagues right now, and I still have some HR2 batting gloves that were plastic.

You feel me? And I wore them in the Little League World Series. We wanted everything, you feel me? So, like, me and that whole team still talk about that. to this day, you feel me? So I just try to give back and just create memories for all the kids. I love that.

Love that. And speaking of your foundation, I hear you have a charity event coming up. Why don't you tell us about it? Yeah, so like I told you, I'm really big in the fashion. So this is my second ever because of last year I got traded

right during like two days right before I had my event last year. But this year I have a fashion show for my event. Every year I host a fashion show. Have a couple companies send some clothes, donate some clothes for some models to walk. You know what I mean? Like, I'm one of them.

I always walk because I love having fun. Like, I probably perform a song or something like that. Have an auction and all the proceeds go to the Jazz Chisholm Foundation for the kids. So for me, it's on May 19th. And if you go to the Jazz Chisholm Foundation website, you can scan the QR code and that's how you get a ticket. It's on Monday again, May 19.
