Starting point is 00:21:13 that when you see people keep it real with each other, you can't believe it. And all they're doing is being men, real woman. If you stay solid and you represent your brother, They look at it like, what? It's a miracle that you guys, you know, keep it real with each other. Why has that been a race?

Starting point is 00:22:52 When I come to a yawn, because you make me feel like I'm at home, when we recall records. There's so many legendary stories I have with you. And out of all those stories, you always kept it so 100 and so real. Trust there's not many like you. You know what I'm saying? And then when you're doing this show,
Starting point is 00:23:11 I knew you would only do a type of show like this if you was beside somebody that was one of the realest that ever did it. I'm just being honest. And that's what I said before this. I said, this is Joe and Jada. I know. I knew the Jayda don't like a kissing Joey cracks.
Starting point is 00:23:29 I knew that Jada don't like talking. Like, let's not play ourselves. I knew Jada don't like talking. I walked them into a room. The first day we shot, I see, yo, Jada, I don't know what your finances is. Got a lot of money, though. I ain't going to lot.
Starting point is 00:23:46 No, no, you got a lot. No, no, he got a lot. Listen, Jada. No, he's a brown paper bag. Jayda is a brown paperback legend. He laughing because he's real. You know how many people I know that brought brown paper bag to Jadicus? When you said how many feces he got, he had a smile
Starting point is 00:24:05 because you know how brown bags came through? Your crew laughing because you love a brown paper bag. But when we made the sole brown paper bag, I was disappointed myself and then put you on it. You know, I was the mad. That's one of the maddest moments. I feel like I'm supposed to be. be on this show.
Starting point is 00:24:24 Imagine him on brown favorite bat. He would have went crazy. And I tell him I go like that. Yeah, he would have went crazy. So I tell him like this and see your Jada. I don't know what your finances are. I know you're doing great. I'm doing great.
Starting point is 00:24:39 We have an opportunity in this show right here to get the super bag. And that means it's going to get uncomfortable sometimes. It's going to get whatever, but we got to stand our ground, and we got to go all out. We can't play. You know, I started it off. The first I came out, boom, boom.
Starting point is 00:25:04 The J.B. seats, the distance. I started shooting at everybody to see who wanted the drama right quick. Everybody said, Joe, this podcast. Chill, podcast. But I told Jada, yo, we got no choice. Let me think, Sunny. The reason why we love T&T is because Charles Barclay is a Hall of Fame.
Starting point is 00:25:26 I'll go down your throat like Barclay. You got Shaquille O'Neal, most dominant player. In the NBA, you got Kenny Smith. The point is, people want people who really played the game. Yes. From the bottom to the top, that has seen everything in hip-hop across the world. And that's Joe Jada. So when I got my man top five dead or alive,
Starting point is 00:25:49 Real talk. And then you got Joe Crack, whatever that mean to you. Right? Together. I knew all these guys was in trouble. Everybody's in trouble. You said it perfect. Because the authenticity is too weird.
Starting point is 00:26:04 You said it perfect. How are you going to out-talk us? Joe Crack, you said it perfect. Jada, that's what I was trying to tell you.

Starting point is 00:28:30 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. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember.
Starting point is 00:28:44 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. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where 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.
Starting point is 00:29:12 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. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:29:50 What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. 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. 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.
Starting point is 00:30:23 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 flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers
Starting point is 00:30:39 while he got the ball, like, after you go through a training camp with that, I said, you figure it out, quick. Get your ass up and down the court and you're going to get the bomb. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is. Getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is. Getting a new one put up in its place. As long as there's a politics of race in America, there's going to be a politics of remembering
Starting point is 00:31:10 the Civil War. To get to school, I had to go down Robert Lee Boulevard. Get to the grocery store. I had to go down Jefferson Davis Parkway. If you're an historian and you leave out half of what the history is, you're not doing your job. I'm Akila Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 goes deep on both of those things. The fights, the politics, the people who won, and my personal campaign to add something to the Kentucky State House that's actually worth the wall space. We are more than our bodies. We contain essence.
Starting point is 00:31:38 We contain spirit. How do you represent that? They are just fueling a fire that is really catching. You'll see what I mean. Listen to Rebel Spirit Season 2 on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What about DJ Callet? What could he do now?
Starting point is 00:32:00 You're filthy rich. You hop-skipping to jump every country. If you go to a bad money show, you're on stage with him. You crowd surf in the fucking football game. What else could you do now? What are you trying to prove? What else can you do to add on to the, world because you've done so much.
Starting point is 00:32:20 Joe crack, I'm not trying to prove nothing. My only competition is me. I'm working on the 14th album, Alamah God. Some people can't make it past their first album to have a career. Now only do I love music.
Starting point is 00:32:36 I remember coming as a kid I had to be at least seven, eight years old when I fell in love with music. Around 10 and 11, I had to know like, yo, this shit is serious. 12, 13, I said, this is my life. So hip hop, my life, and it changed my life.
Starting point is 00:32:57 And it's done so much for my life. But also throughout my career, I knew I was going to be an entrepreneur. I knew I was going to make music. I knew I would be a DJ. I knew I would be a producer. I knew I would be an artist. I knew I would be a music exec. I knew that I was one day going to be a part of music history.
Starting point is 00:33:16 That's right. I don't know how. What I was going to do as far as, like, you know, when the albums came, I remember dropping the first album, Joe, I came to you. You know, we had many talks on the swimming pool. I think I was convincing you about put M&M on lean back. I was telling him like, he's like, yo, we, I told him put M&M on lean back. And he was like, yo, cow, we can't.
Starting point is 00:33:39 I'm like, I thought we couldn't get him. I was like, yo, I'm like, what the fuck he's talking about? This Joey crap. That's when I really knew the power. of Calitt. So Calitt's relentless, determined. I mean,
Starting point is 00:33:55 I heard stories of you getting guys on records where you climbed over their banshing gates. Yes, facts. One of the most consistent,
Starting point is 00:34:04 relentless. Yes. Knock down your door. Yes. But he needs his verse. Yo, listen. He'll come out of the mud. But kiss,
Starting point is 00:34:16 hold on, kiss. He comes out of the center raider. He goes to, Beyond. But Joe, hold on. I'm glad he said that because, first of all, that's facts. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:34:27 I'm always here for you, Cal. No, no, no. The reason why I'm saying that is because even when it's not my record, remember, I ain't on a lot of my brother Ross's albums with him and pooch. And I remember how to get Jada kiss on Maybach music. Yeah, one of the Maybach's. One of the Maybach's music parts. and Ross like,
Starting point is 00:34:50 yo, we need kiss on there. I was like, yo, we reached out to kiss, kiss automatically like, yo, I got you. I'm in New York City. The problem is we got to turn in the album. I called them. We got to turn it out on the next day.
Starting point is 00:35:02 I'm lighting up Kisses phone like no other. People around them. Nobody can get Jayda Kiss. No, listen. You got Jada Kins same day? Listen. Get down on me. Not just Jada kiss.

Starting point is 00:35:30 Light one up. Let that music play. That's how you did it? Hey, continue. No, no, I'm just telling you the truth. I can chase it up if you want me to make it up. And the first I got from JD because I had to chase him. Oh, no, no.
Starting point is 00:35:41 Lying again, yeah. Listen, listen. Lying. And the man, not only did live it. give him a Rolex so you get me. He's like. The man not only delivered,
Starting point is 00:35:52 I left the studio, went to the mastering studio, mastered the album, and the rest was history. You know, Jada Kiss, you know, anytime I call him for a coward album,

Starting point is 00:37:27 but I know you're not going to answer it. Don't ask you. Because what's the biggest check you ever got in your life? Oh, you know. Oh, say, you got them singing. Yo, yo, what's the biggest check? You know what's so beautiful about that question
Starting point is 00:37:44 that none was ever given to me? I know that. No, no, no, I'm going to answer it. Okay. Nothing was ever given to me. Let me give you a reference. Let me give you a reference. One day I did a deal.
Starting point is 00:37:56 I made a million dollars. I ran over here to tell him so bad. I came, sat down like, you know, I made a deal for a million dollars. So I sat right here. He sat next to me and I was like, when I was about to tell him, your calendar, Callag, just said, y'all. They just left. I said, who you said?
Starting point is 00:38:15 Toothpace commercial, $5 million. in my bathroom right here. I didn't even have to leave the house. I was like, Oh, see, can you see? This was the moment I've been waiting for to tell him, y'all. I just made a million and some shit. He said, man, just paid $5 million brushing my teeth.
Starting point is 00:38:36 They just left. I sat back. I say, yo, at that point, I was, I'm terrified to tell you. I'm terrified. Whatever. I'm going to be honest, it's true, man. Like, it's not about the number amount that we make. You know what's the-
Starting point is 00:38:50 What's the biggest check? What's the biggest check that you looked at and you said, Hallelujah. We could. You know what the biggest thing that I love about being an overcomer? You know, let's keep it real. We're overcoming. Super.
Starting point is 00:39:09 Chaita-Kis, you're overcomer. Joey Crack, you're overcoming. You're rich. J. C.C. Cow it. I'm an overcomer. If it was up to them, they would want. want us broke, miserable, unhappy. They would want us, instead of being right here,
Starting point is 00:39:22 they would want us to, you know, just, they don't want to ask for us. No, no, how sad? But you know, the best thing I've ever did for my blessings. The best things ever did for my blessings. How sad is it that our success? There's people out there that are really upset that we worked hard and God blessed us to be successful. Does that ever bother you?
Starting point is 00:39:44 Because it does bother me. I tell you where it doesn't bother me. That I take care of my mother and father, my wife and my kids. And if my brothers that I love that's with me forever, I'm right here. That don't bother me. And that's what it's about.
Starting point is 00:40:05 You know what I'm saying? It's not about how much you make. This is a feeling that is undescribable. When I talk to my mother and my mother and I know that I'm taking care of my mother and father and they ain't got to pay for nothing. When I see my kids
Starting point is 00:40:22 go to Dream Mall, we live in Miami, go to Dream Mall to play with Ninja Kids for the day and come back home the same day and make it to school, man, what a blessing. You know how it feels when my son wake up and say, yo, I want to, it's done.

Starting point is 00:55:27 was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, Hey, Jonas.
Starting point is 00:55:36 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.
Starting point is 00:55:52 Another podcast from some SNL, late night comedy guy. Not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, S&L's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes.
Starting point is 00:56:14 Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, fam. It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Tolodon. and our podcast point game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed.
Starting point is 00:56:32 And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. 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,
Starting point is 00:56:53 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 Nass would get that thing. That man, hell get to fly. He running up the court, licking his fingers why he got the ball. Like, you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah.
Starting point is 00:57:16 You figure it 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 Podcast, or wherever you. you get your podcasts. Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place. As long as there's a politics of race in America, there's going to be a politics of remembering
Starting point is 00:57:42 the Civil War. To get to school, I had to go down Robert Lee Boulevard. Get to the grocery store, I had to go down Jefferson Davis Parkway. If you're an historian and you leave out half of what the history is, you're not doing your job. I'm Akila Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 goes deep on both of those things. The fights, the politics, the people who won, and my personal campaign to add something to the Kentucky State House that's actually worth the wall space. We are more than our bodies. We contain essence. We contain spirit. How do you represent that?
Starting point is 00:58:14 They are just fueling a fire that is really catching. You'll see what I mean. Listen to Rebel Spirit Season 2 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you. you get your podcasts. Top five Miami Anthems. Top five Miami. Anything from Trick Daddy. Hey one.

I had to remind people not only they didn't believe in us that God did. And I felt like when I said that it resonated with the world and they oversteal what I was saying. that's why that song had was so impactful and the album was impactful

Starting point is 01:03:38 He didn't say nothing. That same day, I had to do something for ESPN. I think it was at the Barclays and it was like, I did something like, you know what I'm saying,
Starting point is 01:03:49 on stage, it was on TV, whatever that situation was at that time. And he was there and he had a, I think he was honor in LeBron or something. So we bumping each other again.
Starting point is 01:04:01 And when I see him, he's like, yo, you know, I played that for the queen. You know me, I'm trying to keep it cool. I'm trying to keep it cool. So I'm like, it's love. You know, I'm just keeping it cool. So I'm legal. I get to the car, I'm telling him on my team,
Starting point is 01:04:19 like, yo, you know, Chiggin just say he played it for Beyonce. So later on, hours after that, the man, Jigger sent me. a picture of him in the jet, like the sunrise through the jet window. You know what I mean, B, listening to his joint. I'm looking at my text like, look.
Starting point is 01:04:45 You know that shit? When you look at your phone, you try to see somebody around? Like, you're like, look. You're like, it's look. So boom. Two days later, there's a rock nation brunch in L.A. I think it might have been like the first one. If not the first The second one

Starting point is 01:06:08 That's how I started the record off. Go to Apple Music, Music, Spotify right now, and listen to it. That's just one story. Don't forget, I got him on God did. I got the keys, keys, keys, God did. Him and Nyes.
Starting point is 01:06:24 Sorry, nice, sorry. God did, wait, he wasn't even God did. You know, it's crazy, because I wanted to see Kiss on Yonka, You know, God did just, the album just dropped that week. And I filmed the video with him that week. You know, I went to New York for the promo,
Starting point is 01:06:41 so I wanted to film the video with that week. The album was like two days old. Right. And Kiss was on the block with his whole crew. And we had God that. Pete was there. We had God that play. And Kiss was reciting his bars.
Starting point is 01:06:54 The whole verse, word for word. The whole block was. I have it on camera. Cool it up. Somebody, Jamie, sent him. Somebody go on my Instagram and find it. It just came out. The God did story,
Starting point is 01:07:08 I wanted to play in my whole album, and I played him, Drake No Secret. That's how my album starts on God did. So I play him No Secret, and then it goes into God Did. So when you heard No Secret, he was bobbing. You know, when the head started doing this, and then boom, God did came in. And then when that came in, you,
Starting point is 01:07:32 You know, I hit him with a talk. You know, that talk, you can't. Yo, Joe, Jay, do I, did I hit him with a talk? God, no, you hit him with the talk. They don't believe in it. It breaks my heart. They don't believe in us. Great.
Starting point is 01:07:43 You could be over there hating and being a fuck boy. You can be over here in Miami grabbing a mango off the holy ground tree. Instead, you want to be a fuck boy. You could be over here embracing love, more love, more life, more blessings. So remember, he's hearing that. And then Rose come in. We like this. Then the hook come in.
Starting point is 01:08:08 We like, that's when the Ace of Spades started doing this type of shit. Another man started doing, I'm not making this up. I have this on film. I have this on pictures. I have it. We started doing this.
Starting point is 01:08:22 I ever got to, hold on that with the story. The little Wayne come in. We're like, by the time he's already like this, look. Then I left the open verse. Might as well pop.
Starting point is 01:08:38 that bottle. And I said this, I kept doing this to him, look. I pointed him like, that's you. You got, that's where you come in.
Starting point is 01:08:48 So he's like this. I see him freestyle in his head. He loving it. But I continue, I don't stop the music. I continue playing in the album. You got to pull that God big back again.
Starting point is 01:09:00 I was like, looking at Jamie and everybody, I was like, I'm in there. Like, look at the pictures. Go back to the Instagram. I'm in there like this now.
Starting point is 01:09:10 Look, myself, myself, when he said, bring it back. Now he is there. The man, the man starts flowing the first four bars of the verse. Then he tells Lenny S. come here. Whisper in Lenny S's ears. The problem is, I'm right here. So when he got his hand right here, I see what he's saying. He says, tell Guru set up studio.
Starting point is 01:09:40 something is going to get done that night when I leave he's like you'll send me this song this song this song he's told me you send like five songs so now I'm confused I send him five songs but I'm happy did you know you're gonna get something something going some happening

Starting point is 01:10:55 It was like hours in that day, he FaceTimes me and he got the faceTime to the speaker. And I hear the verse. The problem is after it went 12 bars,
Starting point is 01:11:10 I heard 16. Then 24. The problem is I thought the phone was stuck. Because it kept going. So I'm confused. I'm not crazy. Like 100 bar verse. So I'm like losing my mind on the FaceTime.
Starting point is 01:11:27 But I'm also like, yo, tell Google to send it so I can do my thing to it. So Google texts me, sends me the files immediately. And immediately I'm in the studio with my engineer one. And I'm blending it. And I'm like making the focus in certain big try. I'm going crazy. I'm changing the beat now.
Starting point is 01:11:44 I got drops. I'm leveling out the vocals. Certain echoes got to breathe here. I'm in my mode. I sent a back to him right away. God did. That was a God did moment. And I never did because right after that,
Starting point is 01:11:58 I think like two, three days, I did the Drink Champs interview. And I was just in an all-time high with so much confidence before my album came out because I knew I had a whole verse. But not like a whole verse. like something that I've been screaming out of the world saying they ain't believing as God did
Starting point is 01:12:14 and I got Hove on a record called God did. And he starts off his verse and says, Hove did. Hove did. You understand what I'm trying to say you kiss and crack? So you got to remember, y'all used to this type of shit. No, we ain't used to.
Starting point is 01:12:30 No, crack. You got to say, I'm a fan of the shit. I want you to the Grammys with you with the bubble gum shit on you. So speaking of the Grammys, speaking of the Grammys. You know, listen, guys, y'all got to give it up already. When you come to the fashion, you have been annihilated and destroyed on this show here. This is Cuban Kiss.

That's a different leather, right? Yeah, I got those, but I mean, I love it. You can't come with no. bullshit you come to the holy
Starting point is 01:13:10 Hey yo Callah man Holy crap I'll stay shitting on these people over here man these guys are dizzy we got them Flabby and sick they gotta reinvent
Starting point is 01:13:23 their whole podcast whatever because our shit we just aren't a storytelling and man we paint the picture so clear and I've seen them they're starting to adjust look even you adjust
Starting point is 01:13:37 so you get dated right so there was the round phone then they made a cell phone then they made FaceTime they had the big TV then they made the flat ass on you with the fat ass on it yeah yeah with the fat ass on it I know but and now there's a new podcast because the Joe or Jada I'm almost over the rookie of the year no but Joe I'm almost ready to say Joe I'm just not in episodes we still run no I want to fuck these dudes I'm telling you we better than everybody I know but I want to be real at you because I don't give a Oh, kiss, kiss, crack, crack, kiss. As much as they don't want us to win.
Starting point is 01:14:14 That's a fact. As much as they don't want us to win. You can't, we got to be easy. Hold on, hold on, on. You got to be humble, crack. Yeah, no, as much as they don't want us to win. Pop up a shit, but we got to be. I want to remind both of all three of us and everybody that's watching us,
Starting point is 01:14:28 as much as they don't want us to win, there's actually more that want us to win. You know, unfortunately we get inspired by they don't want us to win. So that's why you hear crack passionately saying we the number one. And I'm telling you the number one because, again, we humble, but we're confident. And if you're speaking authentic, that's Joe and Jada. You can't question that. Preserving the culture. You can't, this, this is the culture, but this is the culture.
Starting point is 01:15:11 Don't let that go over here. Yeah, don't let it go over your head. For real. This is the culture. Yeah, this is the culture, but this is for the culture. We think of taking the culture, man. What I'm saying is, but I want to remind us, because sometimes I have to remind myself,
Starting point is 01:15:26 there's more love than this hate. Hate is just loud and annoying. but real hustlers, true hustlers, always big each other up. You know that. When you see another real hustler, a real dawn, tell you everything you, you taught me something there. I never thought about it. You gave me a point in the map of the world.
Starting point is 01:15:55 The world's so big. The world's so big. And when they hate, believe it or not, it's this much out of the whole world. And I realized that in life throughout my career I was like, yo. The hate is small. The hate is loud. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:16:12 And the love is massive. And what I learned throughout my career, you know, when it comes down to hate, me personally, I don't can speak for Calvin, Calat. I don't deal with it. I'm too busy. Raising my kids, feeding my family.
Starting point is 01:16:31 Doing shit. And working. And I know people make, My dreams of goals and bringing it to life. I'm busy. No, on everything I love, I'm busy. When I wake up in the morning, I'm busy. I pray all day and I work.
Starting point is 01:16:51 And I'm outwork everyone. That's me. I can't speak for everybody else. But when it comes down to love and hate, you're going to have love without love, there's going to be hate. And without hate, there's going to be love.
Starting point is 01:17:05 You know, in life, and life it's like, it's like, what do you do? It's like, hold on, no,
Starting point is 01:17:10 if you choose good or you choose evil. Me personally, I choose love and good. What do you do? What do you do? I'm just not, I'm just not soft.
Starting point is 01:17:21 I'm not going to blink. I'm not going to flinch. Yes, I have some brothers of mine that love me and they're the realest. You know, Joey Grap. And I can speak
Starting point is 01:17:31 a hundred other names. But just in my bloodline, you know what I'm saying? I'm always going to be righteous, but I'm not soft. Because some people take righteousness for salt. I don't know why. And when they test me with the softness, I hit them with the righteousness. You know, listen, I look at pictures of us, right? Because you got a bunch in this house.
Starting point is 01:18:00 We got a bunch of my house. and I'm not confused. I know who I am. And so the people can say cap all they want, they never heard of Fat Joe getting played in their life. They never heard of one of their favorite rappers playing Fat Joe or playing with Fat Joe in their life. But when I look at these pictures,
Starting point is 01:18:22 there's times I ask God, I said, because this man is who he is. He's truly righteous. He's really about a story. family, he's about his community. He's about our love and peace. I hear this shit with no family.
Starting point is 01:18:37 But I've been like that from day one, though. I know that, Callie. Hold on Joe, you know that, but I don't let Jaydeke's. I know you speaking to them, but I know, everybody know me and you brothers. We blood. Listen, crap. I love you.
Starting point is 01:18:50 I thank you. Thank you for believing me. Thank you for me telling you, you gave me my first record deal. Thank you. Hold on, Joe. If I need alone. It's too much you've done for me.

Starting point is 01:19:10 That's the bullshit. No, Rich. It's a recession. You know, that... No, no. Somebody asked me the other day for a little bag because I said them half the bag

Starting point is 01:19:26 That's the fuse. Just. Chase a kiss. Hey, it's us. The Jonas brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news?
Starting point is 01:19:36 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. We're starting a trend.
Starting point is 01:19:49 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 we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names. of our band before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down?
Starting point is 01:20:10 Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast where people could call in and say, Hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas,
Starting point is 01:20:20 and offered it up as a potential title. Oh, yeah. 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. Another podcast from some SNL,

Starting point is 01:21:37 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 Nass would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He run up the court licking his fingers while he got the ball. Like, after you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah, you figure it out real quick.

Starting point is 01:25:49 You're a beautiful man. Your call it against anybody. What I'm trying to tell you is that. Here will be guys. Not just me. Somebody. That's the scariest things you ever see in your life. Everybody.
Starting point is 01:25:58 I tell my man. There's people I don't know. It's what we're doing here. But check this up. Say I see Joe friends with a, somebody that's a sneaker head, a jewer, a rapper, a family man. If he's your friend. friend?
Starting point is 01:26:13 You don't know the definition of a friend do you mean Joey crap? And I'm not saying this because I'm on the Joey and Joey and Jay to show. I cannot just say that because of that. You know what I'm saying? Because he says something earlier, it's rare to see true brotherhood. It's fair. You know what I'm saying? Me, I'm going to always salute the
Starting point is 01:26:32 brotherhood. What's the song with fucking Meek, Mill and me and Scarface and John Legend and Acon and You know that You gained the jails with that So that record called Never Surrender Never Surrender
Starting point is 01:26:50 Chatur Kiss Meek Mill A-Con Anthony Anthony Hamilton Um What about else Scarface Man
Starting point is 01:27:00 Let's up Scarface John Legend All these people on one record I never forget making that Because I was on my Quincy Jones shit And I was just cutting and everybody's vocals, and later on,
Starting point is 01:27:12 I would just put it together. But that particular record, I had grown men come up to me. Grown men come up to me. Some of the realest guys, like a Joey crack, come up to me and say, yo,
Starting point is 01:27:26 your brother Calvin, you know, I cried tears when I heard that record. I cried tears when I heard that record. When I play that now, when I throw it for a throwback, And I think about making that collab and calling Kiss and getting Anthony Hamilton to film his party in Africa
Starting point is 01:27:47 and John Legend to film his part in New York and you film your part in Yonkers and, you know, in Harlem and, yeah, in Harlem. I was there in Harlem with the Black Maybach. At that time, I think BMF was starting to ring off, right? All this, me and Meek and Ross in Atlanta, we was in Atlanta with a hundred behind us with A-Carns singing the hook.
Starting point is 01:28:11 But that particular, right, Scarface, doing his verse of Houston, even Face Mom told me, yo, that verse, he said, like, it put tears in his eyes, saying that verse.
Starting point is 01:28:27 You know what I'm saying? Like, because, you know, you know how you say, some people think shit is cat, and some shit, you know, some shit is no cat. Play with me if you think. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:28:37 Like, that mute, first of all, the music. music, the soulful, the feeling and the lyrics. But that song basically is saying love all, but trust few. You know what I'm saying? You know what I was making a Lama God? The original name for a Lama God was two names before it became a Lama God. And I'd be careful with my titles because I lived my titles.
Starting point is 01:29:00 So I had to be careful. At first it was called Love All Trust Few. And I was starting to make it an album and I was in a dark place. so all the records started sounding dark. So I snapped out quick. I'm like, yo, yeah, yeah, I only went two or three of those joints. So I changed the title quick. And I called it all glory to God.
Starting point is 01:29:20 The world's dark right now. So I end up calling it all glory to God. And then my wife was like, yo, you made an album called Father Vasat. You know you got to rap a llama. I'm like, you write. And I had that album called Glory to God. And I was like, you know what? It's going to be called a Lama God.
Starting point is 01:29:37 Special kid alarm, man. So you understand, you know what I'm saying? If you think about, you know, if anybody want to take time and look at the titles from the beginning of my albums to where I'm at now, you look at my life at that time,
Starting point is 01:29:49 you know I lived that title. Let me ask you a question, right? Simple. Because somebody, you know, we brought up top five DJs and I'm sorry because my brother is so wealthy You know, I can hire a DJ
Starting point is 01:30:09 I throw this now or no? You could throw it down. Callet throwing the flag. I don't know. When he starts saying sorry and shit like that? That's throwing the flag now? Yeah, Callet. Should I throw it inella?
Starting point is 01:30:22 What else? No, because. Your kids, that's what you do is doing. I'm going to say something we usually don't do talk beyond the scenes. But Callet tore my ear off because when I said top five DJs, he was like,
Starting point is 01:30:36 y'all I'm a DJ, a real DJ to rip. And nobody knows more than me how much Cali rips down the show. But he's so rich, right? So I'm like a DJ I can hire. I can't hire Callet. And so, but I caught backlash from other DJs. They were like, no, Callet is a real DJ. You need to include him.
Starting point is 01:31:00 Who's your top five DJs of all time? Man. No politics. Wow. Who do you enjoy? I would say Kid Capri, Fonkmaster Flex,
Starting point is 01:31:16 Clark Kent. Wow. And the reason why I said, first of all, those three are the one of some of the greatest DJs. But I have a personal personal stories with all three of them, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:31:29 Because I looked up to him as an idol. You know what I'm saying? So definitely Kid Capri, PhoneFlex, Carl, Clint, I have amazing stories with all of them. And then I would have to say, Premier. And I would have to say,
Starting point is 01:31:44 it's crazy because, like, I want to throw like a certain mixtape DJ out there. It was so many at that time that I loved. So it was like S&S, Clue, and it was like Ron G, Duw. And it was like, but I just remember like S&S, Premier,
Starting point is 01:32:05 in Onix, this is the way we walk a new dog. You remember that on anx song? I remember him premiering that on a tape. Honix changed my life. That particular song, if you go back to that tape the way he premiered that and his voice, so like S&S started turning into like
Starting point is 01:32:20 the street. You know, that's when Jigga and Pock and Biggie started coming. So the music and DJ started changing and you started seeing the street come out of it. You know, you had your boom bap and you had your, before I let go, and then you, then top billing and the Arabi Berber president. But then when S&S came, you started coming with like,
Starting point is 01:32:47 this is the way we walk in New York. You know, like, you know, this shit started getting gangster. You know, am I, in my life? Yes, I exchanged my whole career. So that last one is so many, I don't have, I can't particular name it, but there's so many, because even like the double R mix tape with the blend. Remember that G-B-O-the-Pro
Starting point is 01:33:07 Double-R. Remember that? T-Smoose brothers. Ten-Smoo. Remember all those tapes? Those n'-N-Negas had something going. That G-Bo the Bro-D-R that was great.
Starting point is 01:33:18 Rest of peace, my brother, my brother. But then you had like a gym-master Jay that was so legendary. Then you had a DJ Scratch. So the fifth one is always fucked up on me because you had a scratch that was cutting hoo-ha, public enemy on EPMD records.
Starting point is 01:33:34 You know, you know, shit that I'm like, what the fuck, right? You know, it's so many. Then you had Terminator X on Rebel as a pause. You know, seeing that it's so much shit. So that fifth one is tough for me because it's just like, you know, I really love it. But, you know, Joe, I notice you tell a lot of stories, but you don't tell them some of them DJ Callow's story of Cal coming up in the club
Starting point is 01:33:56 and demolishing the fucking place. Listen, I know that I used to fight BMF in Miami trying to. get in your club. Like we used to be online trying to bum rush because there was this club out here. What was the club? At Mnichita. What was the club that was outdoor

Starting point is 01:34:48 the whole place I'll never forget because my room was like you're going to pay a lot of money to get in that room and I remember. So let's explain that it. It was a big club and Calais had a room. Everybody knew at two in the morning go to college room he's going to start DJing
Starting point is 01:35:03 At that point, remember Wolfrest and Peace, everybody you know from everywhere in America was trying to get in that room. And it was BFF at the Prime.

Starting point is 01:35:33 record that Rick hustling, hustling, hustling. I never forget, but I remember GZ and the whole BMF being a club Prevee and they hand me a vinyl, a white label, and it was GZ. I don't know who GZeezy was at that time. I think FAB was there, and it was like,

Starting point is 01:36:07 They come to all my parties. I'm not even, I don't listen to it. I went through it on. When I tell you, the whole place exploded. Off one play. Off one,
Starting point is 01:36:21 the first 10 seconds of the record, the place exploded. I played a cheesy ride. Exploded. And then Jeezie came to the DJ boot, showing me love. And he grabbed the mic and he jumped on top of the bar. the bar and started performing that shit
Starting point is 01:36:38 and Fab started performing and you know ever since that day me and Gigi had a relationship but it's just you know back in them days you know we didn't have the Instagram and Twitter and all that shit so it was about you go in city to city
