Yo, I've been with,

I've been waiting for this show,
meaning as in,
before it existed.
What up, y'all?
This Joe Cracked the Dawn.
You know who it is,
your boy, Jada?
This is the Joe and Jada show.
Every show legendary,
every show iconic.
I know I'll tell you all that,
but this particular show is on another level.
You know what I mean?
You see the Rastasana in the back.
Rastasana.
Mango tree.
Mango tree.
No further do, ladies and gentlemen,

DJ Khalid.
We the bash, mate.
Before we even start,
congratulations to the number one show.
This show right here,
not only was I excited to get on this show,
all my brothers, your family,
but this is the number one show.
I heard it first.
It's not about...
When he says something,
you got to understand.
This is the number one show
for a lot of reasons
because not only do you represent hip-hop,
every time I see y'all,
to y'all's chemistry is just unbelievable.
But I do want to say this,
my brother Joe ain't capping.
All right?
Listen, and I ain't laughing.
My brother Joe ain't capping,
and I ain't laughing.
Ooh, that's large.
I don't want to get into his stories
because, you know what I saying?
If he want to tell his stories, that's Joe crap.
But he ain't capping.
Listen, we got Cuban Jeter.
You see his shirt right there.
He got that good Louis.
That's that Louis.
That's right.
Top five.
He came with that cool.
I don't know.
It's a lot of weed behind the scenes.
I'm drinking.
I'm topless Joe.
I don't go topless all the time.
Oh, man.
I'm topless Joe.
I'm fresh from Puerto Rico.
shout to the boardies out there.
Listen, let me tell you something about this Puerto Rico.
Yo, Joe, when I tell you,
Bad Bunny has,
can we be honest?
It's probably my top three show I've ever been to in my life.
And I'm going to be even,
I even want to be even more honest.
It's really my favorite show.
But I'm going to say top three because, you know,
I just experienced it.
And I don't want to neglect the other two great ones
that I've been in.
The man coming out like Frank Sinatra.
Then he got like narration.
Then he got like Broadway film in there.
Then the man going to a turn-up that's unbelievable.
Then he goes into some live instruments that's like from God.
Hold on.
The sound system might be the best sound system I've ever heard in my life.
it sound better than the records.
You know me savi, me savi Spanish, me sape a poikito Spanish.
Me no savi total Spanish.
So everything in Spanish.
I just said in Spanish, I know Spanish, but I don't know all Spanish.
Jay to talk Spanish, too.
But listen, I didn't want to leave.
Even if I didn't understand what he was saying.
Yeah, I'm going next week.
The man performed like on a holy mountain.
after the Holy Mount
then he's going
Casita
that's where we be at
and then it's a whole
another vibe
then he get on the roof
and it's
it's a whole other energy
but no no
I'm gonna be real with you
I usually go to concerts
I come support and show love
because I love music
but I ain't want to leave
sorry
I'm just I'm fresh Puerto Rico
I got tickets next week
are you going
yeah I'm going
Smartest he ever did.
And you Barriqua.
I'm bored.
You know, I was over there screaming,
Big Pun, forever.
I was out there,
I seen graffiti of Joe and Pun.
All right, go ahead.
Sorry.
No, no, no, because I just,
I'm fresh from Puerto Rico,
so you got to understand.
You like, you know what I'm saying?
Are you also fresh from every island in the universe?
I'd love to go to the Caribbean.
That's what I do.
But, you know, when it comes to Borikwa in Puerto Rico,
you know, Joey Crack,
not just my brother.
That's like my blood.
You seen the post I posted
Don't get it twisted
Yeah
Nah
No, Mr. Joe and Jada
Don't ever get it twisted
Yo Cala
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, nah, nah.
I love Joey Crack
But I love my brother Jada Kiss too
Both of y'all been there for me from day one
I appreciate y'all
Joey Crack, you already know it's
It's different
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Please, let me.
This is Joe and Jada.
It's different.
I love you, brother.
I love you to the highest, too.
But I want to get to ask you,
can I ask you a question?
Maybe one or two.
You've been in many rap beefs.
Yes.
You was in Fat Joe 50 cent beef.
Yes.
Jada Beanie, you put them together.
I'm the first one to put Jada and Beanie on a record.
When Beanie came out of jail,
I had Jada and Beans on a record and talking like a different type of talk.
I'm the one that was behind the scenes when Ross and Young cheesy was going at it.
Because Ross, my brother, you know that.
Everybody know that.
But I got love for Jeezzy.
That's my brother, too.
A real one like me going to always say, we got to come together.
We got to stick together.
We can never let nobody divide and conquer us.
I'm the one
that help put that back together
Ross and Jeezzy
Ask Jeezie
and Asked Ross
Don't ask me
Let me ask you a question
With all this beef going on
That was
I survived the fat Joe 50 cent beef
That's a big beef
Listen Ross
When they're going at it
Fat Joe and 50 cent going at it
All that
But Joe
We're going to keep it real
I'm the one
out of the crew that always says, yo, we don't need that.
We need to come together.
We don't need that.
We need love.
We need positivity.
And at the same time, it's not just that.
We don't want to slow up the money.
No.
But did you try that with this nuclear bomb that went on with like,
because I know the sixth guard was always your brother.
He supported.
I love Drake.
Ross is your day one.
I love Roche is your brother.
I love true.
What did that feel like when the whole world's fighting each other?
What it feel like is that I didn't get in that energy.
There's two energies I'm not going to get in.
Hate?
Ask me a question.
How do you deal with hate?
Please, can you ask me?
How do you deal with hate, brother?
I don't.
And then when you speak about all those great legends that you just talked about from Drake,
my brother future Drake, who else you name?
Ross.
Ross.
Those are my brothers.
If you question, you can't question my friendship.
How?
It's impossible.
ain't nobody like
motherfucking DJ Caglet
Joe, you know that
Joe
you know
take your glasses off
let them see
you know that
I super know that
Okay so what I'm saying
is when it come to me
Not only I'm going to tell my brothers
We got to represent love
Even when when shit gets
A lot of this shit is a misunderstanding
And a lot of not communication
Okay
And that's what it be about
Lack of communication
And misunderstanding
When it comes down to DJ Cal,
I'm the one that's going to try to fix it.
I don't want no trophy.
I don't want no promotion.
I do a lot of shit behind the scenes.
At the end of the day,
I love my brothers.
And my brothers know that.
I guarantee you they know that.
That's what I'm about.
So you couldn't squash this one?
I would love to squash it.
So it's still up in the air?
First of all, I don't use the word could.
Everything's possible with God.
Okay?
And I believe in God.
and I roll with God.
They ain't believe in us.
God did.
And be ready for a Lama God.
And that's the world of God.
So this is the world of God.
Guess what?
Oh, matter of fact,
thank you guys for coming to the Holy Ground.
This is the cattle residents,
the Holy Ground.
You know what I'm saying?
That's what it's about.
Yo, Joe,
take it how you want to take it.
I'm about unity, peace, love,
And I'm, and when it comes down to music, Jada, I'm a collaborator.
Mm.
That's what I do.
I don't rap.
I don't rap.
Now, if I rap, it be a fucking problem because ain't nobody going outwork me.
Jada, write all my rhymes.
I start tomorrow.
I show them how to do this shit because I ain't going to stop.
I'm just being honest.
No, I know that.
But there was a lemon on the top floor.
Where did you think I'm a hot for?
Everybody's rock more.
Just to make my stocks go.
What?
The bands go.
See, don't fucking play for me.
Nothing can stop me, y'all.
All the way up.
You know, Jamie?
If you want me to stop this interview, I stop it right now.
No, no, she can't stop this.
No, you keep all this shit.
No, this is out.
I'm just letting you know.
Nobody's stopping this interview.
Yo.
I didn't say edit nothing.
I just said, Jamie, if you want me to stop, you let me know.
Because you got to keep going.
She said keep going.
You listen, Callet, this is what I'm saying, right?
It's the number one show.
I've been waiting for this show.
You know, I've been with, not just to get on it, Pete.
I've been waiting for this show, meaning as in before it existed.
You're not getting what I'm saying.
Like Justin Bieber said, this ain't clocking to you?
You think I'm just bigging you up because we got cameras here?
I'm digging you up because I love y'all.
Y'all deserve it.
And this is the fucking number one show.
And I'm not taking that away from nobody?
No.
What I'm saying is when I see that shit pop on the ground,
I get excited.
When you talk about what's the best albums
and what's the best collabs
and what's the best features,
how many Jada features they had
and then Jada, you know,
throwing a towel and Joe
telling an amazing story
thinking they's cap.
I'm like,
they think that's cap?
No, I think they start to understand.
You know, you threw the flag on the last one.
I'm like,
I said when I said I wanted to sign Joey badass
when he was like,
and then the video,
and that's just,
you know,
and that's just,
Hold on, ladies and gentlemen.
And then the video came back.
All right.
Ladies and gentlemen,
we could apologize.
Okay, thank you.
Thank you.
He really was going to sign Joey bad ass.
I got several DMs of static,
smoke dizzy,
kiss, that ain't no cap.
We got to apologize.
I got to apologize to you, my brother.
Thank you, my brother.
That's real.
That's real.
That's wrong.
Callie, God bless you.
Thank you, brother.
God bless your family.
Thank you.
You live a life that many would dream of living.
How do you keep touch with reality?
Because you got to understand the viewers and the people.
I have the answer for you.
God is reality.
That's the problem.
Everybody's trying to talk about what's reality,
keeping it God.
Keep it God.
I understand that.
No, no, no, no.
overstand that.
That's the reality.
Oh, no, no.
No, I know that, but let me just tell you,
could you just said something before that?
You said family.
That's right.
In life,
I can speak for myself.
I dreamed.
And it was a goal to have a family.
When you met me,
I was grinding for my family without a family.
Meaning as in,
you know what I mean,
the side of lime and my wife.
That's how focused I was when you met me.
You know that.
You know when they say,
yo, you got to work.
That's my favorite thing.
Is to outwork everyone.
So my job is to protect my kids and my wife.
That's my job.
And that's the job.
And that's my life.
So when you ask me a question like that,
that's all I got to tell you
what else you want me to tell you?
See, I view everything as
as inspiration
so when I see you from island
on plane,
your own plane, this, that I look at everything
as inspiration.
They told me I couldn't fly so we
and got a global 65-00.
They said I could never fly
and I was scared to fly.
When the side was born,
I flew immediately.
God said, Cala, here's aside.
You're fearless now.
Yo, Joe, this is Joe and Jada.
I've been waiting for this.
I've been watching you give back to everybody.
Not taking credit for it, but just giving back,
giving back to all communities and everything.
How important is it for you to give back to the people?
Because I'm sure you can't walk to-
Joe.
Ever since I knew what life was,
I've been giving back.
When I was broke, I was giving back.
I was giving back.
And I'm always going to give back.
We've been giving back from day one.
That's what we do.
If you see it, man, bless up.
If you don't, bless up.
Through my blessings and more success,
we started a foundation.
Chef Melissa.
You know, I ate a lot.
That's that lobster with the caviar.
Come here, that's the lobster with the caviar.
And that's Chef Melissa.
Here's it.
Shut up to Chef Melissa.
See, people talk about hit record, this, anthems.
Yeah.
The number one thing that Callet has is he has a nine for talent.
Every one of his team members are so vital and important.
He ain't just got a chef.
He got the best chef in the world, Chef Melissa.
Yeah.
And she works and feeds.
If it's 30 of us, all of us, leave you a four.
She takes care of all of us.
Hey, yo, my sisters, my kids, my family.
We love you, Melissa.
What you got? Lopsaroles?
You know what time it is. We laid night.
She's still out here.
She knew Jada was coming.
Thank you, Sherman.
Jared, let me hear it.
I just want to throw some words out to you and see what they've been to you.
You know what I mean?
Brandon.
Everything you promote you.
We branded.
You're the number one.
Yeah, look.
Branded.
We the best coconuts.
Go to weeatbest.com.
And get yourself a coconut.
What do you think?
It's the game.
Y'all tripping.
Y'all out here thinking shit is cool.
The game changed.
You know, it's back to the basics.
It's back to passing out flyers.
Talk to me about that.
Whoever neglected radio played themselves
because it's back to radio.
Y'all out here thinking shit is cool.
It's not.
It's back to the hustle.
It's who outworked everybody,
but you got to work smart.
I was just telling my team today,
I was like, yo, the game changed.
The world.
moving so fast that they see an illusion that starts a collision.
It's moving so fast.
I'm telling them, yo, when it moved that fast, it's back to the basics.
I don't care how big you are, Jada Joe.
I don't give a fuck how big you are.
You got to work because the fans, not only do they got love and they show us love
and they do so much beautiful things
by supporting our music and our brands.
But there's so much shit going on
that if the shit ain't potent,
that shit lasts for a day or two.
So it's back to the basics.
So now the fans got to see you work.
They got to see you sweat.
They got to see you put in that groundwork.
It's back to them big pun,
bad Joe stickings.
Hey, listen.
You know what I saw?
I don't know if you saw a Cardi B.
I said,
A.
A.
to hit the streets
and she went on 1-25th
through the CDs on the mat with the inset
with the African
Kofi talking about
Yo, 9-99.
Show, I sent that to the team.
She said, how much you want me to go back
to the streets? I'm on 1-25th.
Yeah, I loved it.
When I seen that shit, I was so excited.
First of all, shout at the Cardi B.
She's on that Lama God, too.
And she's going
crazy.
Shout out to Cardi B. B.
in the building. She's coming on the show real soon.
She's going to have real talk. It's the number one show. Everybody coming on the show.
We're killing these dudes. Number one. This shit out of control. We slipped.
Number one. Non-controversial.
You know what I love?
This guy. Jada. Hold on. Hold on. Joe. I'm sorry.
We ain't got a lot of this show. You know, I'm going to talk forever.
Listen, Jada. When you came on the show and said, when Jada came on the show, if I'm not mistaken, I don't know word for word.
But this is how I know the show is super different and real.
you said
ain't nobody
talking about style speak
oh yeah
no
when you laid the law down
before the show started
as Joe I told him that
I said I love it
because ain't nothing like
brotherhood and keeping it real
ain't nothing like it
ain't nothing like it
because it's fucking rare
ain't nothing like
why is it rare
ain't nothing like
you
two
Brotherhood in this business
and...
Show, you love this shit.
You know what?
You love this shit.
I love this octopus.
Yeah, she just made.
No, I've never seen a man.
I love a show.
So much.
Yo, Jamie, the man loved the man transition.
Like, like, yo, this show crap.
You know, listen, the man's so professional
talking to me.
No, I never seen no man so focused like this.
I'll tell you what.
I said, I was a drink by the fork.
You know, Pistler, you see this shit, right?
This is your crack.
You never see.
It's your crack.
No, I can't take it.
Now, the man's so professional with it.
Well, listen.
That was unbelievable.
Go ahead.
I'm sorry, Joe.
Because nowadays, there's so much fuckery going on.
Yes, it is.
In this world, not just this industry,
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?
You know, we're going through some shit in this world.
You know there's Joe and Jada.
Joe.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
This is Jada kissing fat Joe, Joey crack.
All right.
Don't get it.
Listen, guys, guys, wake up.
You know what I say authentic and, you know, everybody wants to keep it real,
and everybody know the real this and that.
This Jada kiss and Joey Crag!
Yeah, I tried to tell them.
Guys, this ain't just a show.
Yo, like, this ain't just records.
These guys have unbelievable, legendary history
that we love and respect.
You know what I told, Jada.
People are thanking me so much every day.
Because this guy has been their favorite rapper.
They never heard him talk.
They're like, I can't believe this guy talks.
Yo, listen.
No, your fans never knew your true person.
They knew your music.
They never seen you talk.
They come up to me every day, yo, he's so funny.
He's this, he's that.
Thank you for making him talk.
Yo, Joe, I agree with you.
Jay, listen, he's not lying.
I know you.
You're my brother.
You always put a smile on my face to make me laugh.
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
And that's why this show is special because not just me, but I would think I could speak for a lot of us.
We've been waiting for this.
We've been waiting for this show.
Yeah, check it out.
You know what it is.
Your boy, Jada, Kiss, Joe Cracked at Joe and Jada.
This is what we're doing right now.
We're extremely excited to announce our new presenting sponsor, Hard Rock Bet.

Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers.
And guess what?
We have some big news.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
I heard stories
of you getting guys
on records where you
climbed over their
banshing gates.
Yes, facts.
One of the most
consistent,
relentless.
Yes.
Knock down your door.
Yes.
But he needs his verse.
Yo, listen.
He'll come out of the mud.
But kiss,
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.
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,
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.
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.
Everybody.
finally I got the message to kiss
He's like, yo, come to Yonkers, a studio.
Kissed it, did I show up?
Pulled up the D block.
Pulled up the D block.
Played up.
You know what he'd do?
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.
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,
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,
not only did he bless the album,
he always,
always, always, always,
always,
always,
got me.
And I'm forever grateful for that,
brother,
forever.
You know what it is?
Cali pulled up to the block,
Connelled,
Ceyl, Pistol,
the whole crew.
Oh, they're going to fill up.
Middle of the street.
Popped on dirt bikes.
I missed that one.
Who's telling you to come?
Yeah.
He was like the superhero.
He made people's lives that
when I see them to this day,
they're like,
thank you for bringing DJ Callie to the block.
Nah, I love that.
That's so much fun.
we was, you know, shooting a video.
This shit was so much fun.
And with that Woolburn.
Not even just that.
Jay to Kiss blessed me.
Besides my albums,
I reached out of Kiss one time
the blessed me for my Jordan's commercial.
Oh, shit.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, he blessed me with that.
You know what, Joe, man?
Like being on this show, you know what I'm saying?
Y'all two brothers, I can, I can,
the whole show I can just dedicate me praising y'all.
Especially about y'all two hip-hop kings,
to hip-hop legends.
And not only though, I love you,
everybody love you.
I really want to ask you a question
that's on my mind,
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
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.
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?
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.
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-
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.
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,
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?
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.
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
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.
That's what it's about.
So that number amount,
what you're talking about,
it's no limits when God bless you
because I'm not stopping.
And when you're in Miami, let's go shopping.
I can't go shopping.
You're the best night.
You know, Courtney.
When I go shopping with him, I can't go shopping.
Listen, I can't go shopping with another fat dude.
Your kid, this guy here.
He pissed.
It would want me to fucking be miserable.
Every jacket, I went shopping with him.
Man, I like,
I want to stop.
I'm walking out with a scarf.
You can stop it.
No, no, no, no, no.
She can't stop it.
Kelly, leave it, Jay.
You listen to you, one day he says,
yo, Joe, bring your money, right?
We're going to shop it.
I come a duffel bag of money.
He come with one.
We go over there.
Every store we walk in,
he grabbed the flyers jack.
I need this.
I need this.
I'm looking,
I'm walking out with a scarf,
a fucking handkerchief.
Yo.
I'm like,
Yo, Kelly,
I cannot go shopping.
Yo, Joe, Joe.
You pulling everything out.
Yo, Joe, crap.
I'm not lying.
They call us Miami Dolphin.
Yo, kiss.
You think, yo, kiss, that's one thing.
They take my kindness for weakness.
Because you know I'm kind.
And kiss, you know I got love.
But a lot of people take our kindness for weakness.
You can, listen.
I want you to take it for greatness.
I want you to take it for greatness.
take it for motivation. I want you to take it for inspiration. I want you to take it so you know
you could do it. I've heard Joe say it. I heard many of the great say it. And I must say it.
Every time I've seen somebody win, real hustlers respect real hustlers and they show love to other
hustlers. And they let them know it's possible. Remember, I was the kid in the backseat of a Joe
Crack, Escalade, Yukon, a Benz and a Lexus, Crack and an M.B.
MPV. I think I named
all your whips.
You did.
Yeah, you did. So I just want you to know.
You was there when I gave him to win.
So to see my brother
not only be
an icon, fat Joe, and big pun.
I was there with Big Pun.
I was there with Big Pun Rose
recorded Still Not a Player. I'll tell you a story.
The man recorded Still Not a Player. Me and Joe Crack
came to the studio and Big Pun
Joe Crack was like,
yo, we got to go to the studio.
I'm in New York visiting Joe.
I was staying in Brownsville.
God bless my man, passed away.
Bugsy.
God bless him.
And Joe, I'm going to pick you up.
I'm like, I gave him the address.
I'm in Brownsville.
He's like, yo, what are he doing in Brownsville?
So I ended up meeting him in the city,
and we go to the city to meet Big Punt.
He come in the studio,
Big Punt sitting on a chair like this.
In New York, in the studio, like the lounge.
Yeah.
And he got a little nickel bag.
all over the table
and he roaring up a blunt
Joe crap walking the studio
you know he's Joe crack in the dawn
at that time
no still the dawn but
I love his growth
you got to you got a
you got a always bigger man
for his growth
because at that time
it was like John Gotti
the man walking the studio
just brought a big check
gives him a check
a check
and then says,
see the Lexis outside is George.
Am I lying?
Right, man.
He recorded still not a player,
but then record the final version.
Steve Rifkin and everybody for the label kept calling Joe
and pun, like, yo, what's up when we get in this record,
when we get a single one?
What's the original one or the rematch?
The remix.
Remix.
Remix, remit.
I'm glad you said that, the remits.
And pun went in the booth
and freestyle just talking,
craziness.
Like, you're the label this and this and that and this and that.
They're trying to this and that.
The man did like a freestyle.
Just to like, at that time, people wanted to know if you was working.
They're paying for studio time and all that.
And who produced the record was, um, I forgot the name of the producer, but Bigam up.
I remember, you know, the record.
The record did the name.
Minnesota.
But I just loved it because I got to see.
Many did the original?
I got to see pun in his rare form.
And I never forget because that's one of the, what was the beat that?
that clue had that didn't come out that was just so,
uh, um, it was a beat that clue had,
they gave you that day, y'all pun heard it and he whipped it down.
No, you people can't see this house, right?
But this is fucking,
we in like Frank Sinatra's house and shit.
Whatever Jackie Glees.
You'll check me like, whoever the motherfuckers ran Miami.
No, no.
We're in Emilio, Stefan's house.
here.
And so many times I came over here to see
Callet and Callet be like this.
He looked at me. He goes, no, no.
I swear to God, he says, I'm proud of you.
You fat, Joe, you're doing big things
or nothing like you walking in with big punt.
Yeah.
Break that down for us because he told me this
and I'll be like, yo, punt.
I mean, like, Callet, what you?
you want me to do it. He'd be like, yo,
you and pun?
You've seen me in pun.
You seen that. You, Kiss, you're part
of that era. You've seen the Joe and pun
era. And I just
remember, remember, I'm the kid in the back
seat. You know, Joe love me so
much. He really had a hundred.
You know how you always say 100 guys with him.
I know you want to throw the towel and all that.
25. Okay, listen, if it ain't 100,
it got to be 75.
35. Super sniper.
I'm going to be real with you.
It was special, bro.
Definitely.
Okay, I can tell you that.
What I'm saying is Joe and Pine,
I'm so blessed in my career to see that,
to witness the birth.
I remember Joe telling me he played me the twins.
He played me twins.
We was in the Lexus in front of Fifth Avenue,
in South Beach,
and front of club cream.
And he played me twins.
And he's like, you're this for a mixtape.
that in the middle.
I couldn't believe
he told me it was
that's how focused I was
back in them days.
The mixtape
was the hottest shit in the world.
Yeah, that was the shit.
I was telling him,
I can't believe
you're saying this is for a mixtape.
I said,
this is the one.
That's how focused
I was.
And by the way,
mixtape was the one.
I was trying to show you
how I was thinking.
How your brain was progress.
Joe, not only
blessed me to have a relation with pun,
but pun used to come to Miami.
He came to Miami.
He went to God bless you.
God bless him, man.
Homer drive down to Miami.
He came to Miami in a van.
He had to play him his music.
No, Ben was on promo tour together.

We did, we went all over the world together.
We did Kings Dominion together.
We did, man, we was on mad flights together.
Kiss, the man, Pund came down to Miami to play me the album.
And I'm going to tell you a story.
He said, Cal to meet me at Wet Willis.
We go to Wet Willys.
I jump in the van.
You know, Wet Willys at that time was shit.
The man popped the doors open.
There's a band.
It's me and it's pun.
And the man had a big T.S. chain like this.
Big, the big.
Hold on.
He plays me the battle with Jadicus and Big Pun.
No, no, look.
on everything I love.
He plays me
the son of people that battle
with Jay Ben and pun.
He plays me that whole album
and I'm listening to that shit.
Who thought of that?
You and Punn acting like
y'all was battling on a record.
No, he played me that.
I don't know.
I don't know of him, Greenland,
somebody.
He played me that.
No, I'm glad.
On everything I...
Not because Jake is...
For years.
For years...
For years.
he kept telling me, because
as far as I know there is no more
big pun music, as far as
as Joe Crack knows, there
is no more big pun music, like new
verses, shit like that.
And he kept telling me,
yeah, so, there's a joint
Jada and
fucking pun. Pun. Pun played it
for me. It never came out.
I'm telling you. See what I just, right?
On everything
I love, he played it for me.
Hold on. You know,
I'll never forget.
I drove from Miami.
This was when I was doing the Luke show on 99 Jams.
And every Friday we would do a world premiere.
I remember world premiere, like,
everything that was hot.
Before it was hot.
And I drove all the way from Miami, New York,
and I went to Pund's house.
He had his house.
And I got to keep it real with you.
I don't know why y'all think Joe Kappen.
The man, Pun had 100 people.
around his house and like at least 50 people in it.
He was going to jail for a thousand.
No, listen, I'm just telling him.
He died.
I went there.
Listen, I went in the house.
And I'm trying to find the dad.
I'm trying to find the dad.
I had pun, freestyle over a biggie victory from top to bottom.
When he got done freestyle, with all due respect, God bless my brother.
When the beat shut off, the man took a nap.
I never seen nothing like it in my life.
He just got done ripping it down, legendary.
And when the beat faded out, he took a nap.
No, you got to understand.
I'm sitting in the living room like, no, he's getting busy.
So after you wake up and we chill and we're talking,
first of all, I couldn't believe I was in Pund's house.
I never forget it.

I met Joey Crack in front of new music seminar outside.
I had the Flojo album.

You know, Joey Crack at that time,
even if he was happy,
he had a grill like this.
So you didn't understand if he was,
if he was going to hurt you or if he's just being like,
so when I met him,
he's like, yo, how you got that vibe?
I didn't know because I wasn't out yet.
And I was, I ain't going to lie, I was scared shitness.
I can't lie.
I was like, yo, this is a promo.
You don't know what I got to connect.
I didn't want to reveal the connect.
But since, you know, it's all love now, meaning he has to, you know,
hip-hop.
What was his name?
It was Rock and Soul.
Oh, God.
The Rock of Soul gave it to me.
It was, they always held, they always held certain promos for me when I come in town.
Like, you know what I mean?
I always keep my relationships at a high key.
So even I wasn't from New York when I come to Rock and Soul,
they always had my shit on the side.
And it was a Joey Crack album.
He's like, yo, how you got that?
You know, I'm not trying to tell on the TV.
This around the time we used to beat up the bootlegs and all that.
Yeah, so, you know, it was a sticky time, bootlegging and all that.
And, you know, I was like, you're a fan, boom, boom, boom.
And we build a relationship from that day on.
And I'll never forget he came to Orlando with pun.

I was the little kid
I was a kid.
I was a baby, but I was embracing this greatness.
I got to see Bismarkey, Joey Crack and Big Pun, and all these greats.
Remember, I'm a little kid just in love with hip-hop.
I was DJing clubs and halls before I was able to drive.
You know, I was passing out flyers at 12 years old to parties I wanted you to come out to.
I'm not making it up.
Hey, it's us to Jonas Brothers, and guess what?
We have some big news.
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.
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.
Well, 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?
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.
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, 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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.

The reason why I name I'm Alama God,
not only is my son named Alam of God.
You know, I thought about it coming off of God did.
I said, man, you know what?
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
five nominations
under Grammys we ain't win one
but we won in real life

Top five moments
you know I was there when you
we was in Noble and we heard a little beat
you recorded it and the next thing I knew
two days later you had Beyonce
singing that shit
right top five moments that blew your mind
that you, maybe it was easy coming in here.
What's your top five moments
that blew your mind
and you was like, is this happening?
What are he talking about right there?
Recorded something.
Well, it was actually
Zuma, Ashad de Noba,
because Nobles, I love Noba.
I got the Noba with sushi sneakers.
Yeah, but it was Zuma, huh?
It was Zuma, and I heard
this record playing was in the private room.
And I was like, this shit crazy.
So I Shazam bit.
I'm there with you.
Yeah, you're with me.
I shazamed it.
And the next day I went home.
looped it up, got with the team,
and we made Shining.
Shining, shining.
I presented to Jay Z and
Beyonce, and I'll never forget,
because I went to see Jay Z,
and I brought my own speaking to him,
and I was like, I need to have a meeting with you.
And one thing I love about Jigga,
if he love you,
the man is accessible.
Meena has to in, like,
as big as he is,
nine out of ten,
if you got love and respect,
you can have a meeting with him.
So I had a meeting with him
and I remember, I was like,
yo, I played him a bunch of beats
and I was like, you know, I knew you on my album.
And I played him shining instrumental.
I'm like, yo, I need you on this.
And he was like this, look.
I remember turning it down.
I was like, yo, but I need you and I need the queen on this.
He looked at me like, it was crazy.
Not being honest.
You want me lie to you?
I can lie to you.
I know.
So I was like, yo, I need the queen
on this too.
So when I'm leaving,
he's like,
you'll leave me the,
it's too many great stories
we'll hold.
But that particular story,
he's like,
leave me with that joint.
He didn't say he's going to
get the queen on it.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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
So I walk in the brunch
You know
He just sent me that pit
You know I can't
I ain't I do the consistency
You know
Because I'm like yo
Let me not fuck this up
Let me breathe
Let it breathe
So I'm walking in the brunch
Should I see hope
He's like yo
Come to the crib
After the Rock Nation brunch
I want you to hear something
And he told me
keep your head high through this whole brunch.
Walk around here with your head eye.
When we do, lie to you?
That's what the man told me.
He said, walk around his brunch with your head eye.
Oof.
I'm in a black leather.
Walking around that motherfucker's so relaxed,
so at ease.
As soon as the brunch is over, I'm out of crib.
And he'd play me shining.
And God, it's crows.
And I started that record off
and I said, I've been working my whole life
for this.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
a few days later he's like
your Calvin Lenny book studio
blah blah blah
you know I reply so fast
been done
the whole time I'm like
Please God tell me the studio is available
Because he picked a certain studio
I put Ben done
It was this New York studio
Yeah it's New York
It's New York
It's New York
Hours later
No no no no
Let me keep it more honest
The man texts and say
You're book studio
You Callin
Book studio for this time
But I only have an hour
Because I got to catch the helicopter
To the Hamptons
The Hamptons
No problem
And he's like on the group text
tell Lenny tell Guru
make sure he's there.
I had Lenny aside.
Whatever guru needs, we had to pick him up.
Bring him there.
You lie to you? That's Lenny.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
He has the Guaiva, Louis Vuitton shit.
And this is the brown, chocolate brown check with the fucking leather.
That's a different kind of leather.
That's a lot.
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
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
You know,
in life,
and life it's like,
it's like,
what do you do?
It's like,
hold on,
no,
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
me.
Answer the question.
If I need a loan,
can I come to you one day?
Shit, we'll out here.
You know it's a recession.
But I got you.
The recession is a...
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
because it's a recession.
No, but I'm there.
I'm there.
You know, we honest.
Listen.
That's the gas.
Listen.
But kiss.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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,
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

We do some retirement homes.

What's up, famed?
Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano
and our podcast Point Game is about
defining 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

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 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.
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.
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 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. In Rebel Spirit, season two 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?
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 we're
you get your podcasts.

Yo, hold on.
You get the red.
Can I get a loan one day if I need it?
But Joe, you make it.
I don't need no loan.
Joe, you don't need it, but I want to hear it.
I want to put you to it.
Joe, you're my richest friend.
I just want it in the Lord's a love.
I just want it in a hair.
Joe, you're my richest son.
Damn, Callie, you don't answer the question.
Of course, the job.
This guy, my God.
This guy know how to you.
Joe, let me ask you a question.
Let me ask you a question.
Hold up.
So I look at the picture.
Am.
And I look at, I know who I am.
And I'm a reformed gangster.
And I'm a God lover, a God fear.
Can I say Senator?
Sorry.
Because he said all that.
You know, I know Joey Crack.
I know Joey Crack.
I know Don Carter, Gina.
I know the stories that some of y'all think is cats.
You know what I'm saying?
What I'm saying is,
let through all that,
he is the nicest.
Okay, how can I say this?
If he's your friend,
if, that's the key word,
if he's your friend,
when he's your friend,
he's all in.
You know,
break that down, break that down.
I can tell you.
I'm going to tell you,
but I can,
strangers that I don't know
that his friend will tell you that.
When I say all in,
through the good, through the trials and tribulations, through anything, he shows up.
No, no, no, no, no.
Kiss, when I say show up, not an inspiration, motivation, yo, I love you, I got you, I'm praying for you.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You show up.
Kiss, look at me.
Show up, show up.
No, show up.
Show up.
Sure.
Against anybody.
He's a beautiful man.
Against anybody.
He's a beautiful man.
Yo, call it.
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.
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?
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
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
Chatur Kiss
Meek Mill A-Con
Anthony
Anthony Hamilton
Um
What about else
Scarface
Man
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,
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,
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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?
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,
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.
Who's your top five DJs of all time?
Man.
No politics.
Wow.
Who do you enjoy?
I would say
Kid Capri,
Fonkmaster Flex,
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?
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,
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,
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
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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
and then you had the room.
And we had club craed that got crazy too.
Yeah, I know. But you had that
right. You had a room in there.
Yeah, that's three in the morning.
When I played young cheesy,
I'm one of the first to play young cheesy.
That's cheesy.
I never forget the whole.
and Mertenga and Eisha
locked the whole club down
and young Jeezy before he was
young Jeezy
and Fab was in the club
with him too
and Meach and everybody in the club
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
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.
I never forget to playing hustling, hustling, hustling, hustling for one hour.
They was banging on that wall.
Kiss, what did you say?
Banging hours.
I play hustling hours on the radio and hustling hours in the club for hours, one
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,
meet whoever.
These are my people's. They always show me love
and they supported all my parties.
Oh, go. And they're like,
yo, I want you to play this vinyl. You know,
doing vinyl.
Without a question,
these people always show me love.
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,
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
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
but it was also about
building your relationship
but
making these moments that people would never forget
you know what
saying that's what hip-hop is about though you
I remember being a club Puerto Rican parade
Puerto Rican parade in New York City
Joe took me there I don't know what
club it was but the BIP was
glass and like a glass
all glass and we
all of here as big pun and
my deepest performer
prodigy
ripping it down kiss
I'm talking about people
hanging off the speaker and then
Joe and pun come out of nowhere
and perform twins and I'm the
little kid right there by the street
they was watching this.
And I'm like, what the fuck
is this?
I'm watching

You said, nah.
Yo, I'm in there. I'm on the side,
hanging off a speaker
watching Prodigy and Mob

That's great.
Yo, check this out.

Callet's rich.
Super rich.

And I feel an energy that I know that God bless.
And when I see this show, I'm telling you, not because you're my brothers.
And thank you for rapping hip hop and loving it so much.
Because this shit, without your guests on there, this is shit y'all talking about.
And the way y'all producers are throwing up the clips and sharing songs.
And the other day, y'all doing, here we go again, again.
It made me immediately find a pick and throw up, here we go and that.

And you know what?
You know, I could be somebody and be like,

Yes, they got me. And I got them too.
but don't get twisted before I met them.
These were my idols.
Like, you know, I have many idols.
You got to understand, like, this is special.
And, kids, when I see you on this show and Joe said it perfectly in the beginning,
we never got a chance to know the personality.
That's right.
You know, we knew about top five and straight bars coming for your neck.
That's a sad.
You know what I'm saying?
But I knew the personality because I know you as a friend.
And as a brother, I can reach out to you and we family, you know what I'm saying?
But I knew the fans didn't know what I knew.
I knew they didn't know what I knew.
Yes, they love you.
And they got you and they respect you.
But they ain't know what I knew and what Joe knew.
But guess what?
Now they know.
Train is coming, babe.
The train is crap.
And the thing is that everybody watching the show know that about you.
And you too, crap.
You always been somebody.
that going to make people smile
and entertain.
But...
They're smitten shit out of you.
Exactly.
Don't get twisted.
A lot of these people,
and no disrespect when I say this.
Please no disrespect.
Because, you know, I...
I'm not going to say it.
Listen, there's a guy...

Your husband is not who you think he is. Your body is not what you thought it was. Your identity is
formed by a secret history. I'm Danny Shapiro. And these are just a few of the stunning stories
I'll be exploring on the 14th season of Family Secrets. He kind of shoved me out of the way and said,
move. And he went out the front door and he jumped in a car and drove off. And that was the last time I saw him.

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.
I'm Akila Hughes, and Rebel Spirit, season two, is about both of those things.
As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority of black city,
in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslave people.
