Hey guys, it's us
The Jonas Brothers.
I'm Joe.
I'm Kevin.
And I'm Nick.
And guess what?
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.
We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions.
Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it.
But, you know, tired and sick.
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 podcast.
podcast.
What's up, fam?
It's Isaiah Thomas.
And I'm C.J. Toledano.
It's our favorite time of the year on our podcast, Point Game, the playoffs.
We're digging into the biggest surprises of the season.
And I'm looking back on some of my greatest playoff moments.
If we didn't talk ever again, I was crying.
You just understood.
That's how personal it got.
Wow.
Then after that game seven, Marquis come in to you, he's like, you know I love you, dog.
You know, it's all love.
This was just playoffs.
This was just basketball.
So listen to Point Game on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your
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.
Listen to Season 14 of Family Secrets on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
That moment was frozen in my mind forever.
And of course, everybody showed up,
and that just became the most iconic picture of fashion sports history.
Yeah, yeah, what up, y'all, this your boy Joe Cracked the Dawn.
You know who it is your boy, Jada.
You know what it is, the Joe and Jada show.
Every show legendary, every show iconic.
And we stick to our word.
You know what I mean, no matter what it is, music, fashion, sports, lifestyle.
You think of our guest today, you think of that fly shit, you know what I mean?
Think of the early 90s, late 80s.
I think of Mark 125.
I think of Genesis.
I think a searching all around the city looking.
You know what I mean?
Sometimes I would find it.
Sometimes I would come up short.
When you just think of fly, you think of the NBA,
and you think of all major league sports.
and you think of winners
because you see
his logos and his
leathers whenever there's
winning involved.
Ladies and gentlemen,
make some noise for our guests.
Jeff Hamilton.
Great to be here.
Welcome to the couch, my friend.
Thank you for having
the honor to be with two legends
like you guys.
What is that?
What kind of love is that?
This is my corporate look.
It's my crocodile jacket.
Corpitch look.
My black leather,
So this is the most elite level of levels, the crocodile leather, right?
Correct?
You can't go bigger than that.
That's the most expensive, yeah.
That's kind of like you don't have to even put designs on it.
Though I actually did a jacket for Farrell that had all crocodile and designs on it,
Virginia Beach one that was a different level.
You know, as I'm looking to you, right, good friend,
I'm digging to Kobe Bryant.
Right?
That Kobe Bryant jacket that he wore when he won the chip.
How did you get that to him and how did that even happen?
It was a fierce process.
You know, the whole thing started with Michael.
So in Michael Jordan, in 91, when he won the first championship,
I said, you know, I really want to make him a championship jacket.
This way when he wins it, you know, everybody has a T-shirt and the hat.
But nobody thought about the jacket.
So I said, let me just have the jacket because on the jacket, you really could tell a whole story.
And also, you get kind of the idea of getting the trophy or the ring without having to wait five months to get the ring.
So you get kind of a moment of instant gratification when you win and you get the jacket.
And so it happened slowly with Michael.
And Michael expected every year when he champ, as soon as he pulled up to the locker room, I was right there with the jacket.
and put it on and it just went viral.
In Chicago, in the 90s, that's all people wanted.
They only want my championship jackets.
And Kobe being such a student of the game and such a student of Michael,
just took it to a different level.
So in 2021, the first championship with the Lakers, his first championship,
he had it.
We had the moments, the locker room.
But the second year in Philly, it became so iconic because,
saw and Jetta, as you did the pose when you did the verses,
I mean, that pose became iconic.
There was a moment in time that was frozen,
being a kid from Philly and loving the Sixers,
growing up with his dad playing for the Sixers,
and being booed the whole night and still winning.
And also knowing that his parents were not in the sense,
you know, looking at him winning,
which is the biggest moment of his life.
back-to-back championship.
And so he had that meditative moment.
And so he wanted to isolate himself.
And he took the trophy and went to showers, locked himself out.
And nobody knew where he was.
So I knew better to follow the great Andy Bernstein,
the Hall of Famer photographer because he had all his team looking for the trophy.
And we walked into the room and there was only three people,
just all three.
And he was there like dreaming.
And that moment was frozen in my mind forever.
And of course, everybody showed up.
And that just became the most iconic picture of fashion sports history.
You know, I think everybody's trying to emulate that picture.
And I think it's had rappers make the album cover like that.
Yeah, who did that?
Annuel.
Annuel did it.
Annuel did it.
Yeah, Annuel did it.
Wow, like did the cover of the...
Patrick Mahomes, Leo Messi,
Caitlin Clark
LeBron did it
with the 2020 championship
and I've been
and I've been also pushing it in a way
I mean you did it with the versus
so Jadat
so the idea is that
it became it's a symbol also
of winning but also
reflecting and
embracing the moment and taking a pause
and not being in
the champagne and the whole thing
you can do that after but that moment was
you isolate all the hard work that you put in for a year
and the hard labor to get to win that championship
and then just take a little few seconds to enjoy it.
So you was in retail in New York, right?
Did you always just have your jackets
or you decided I'm going to make my own, the Jeff Hamilton?
When I moved to America in 1980,
I moved with a wife and two kids.
I married when I was 19, I was 24.
I just turned 70 and I came with $6,000.
And my dream was to become an accountant.
And I love numbers.
And I was, I mean, I was a smart kid because I was a nerd.
So I was a good student.
And one thing, but I also was a hustler.
I wanted to make money.
I really was chasing money.
I cared about wanting to come as an immigrant and try to,
I came with no papers, illegal, tried to find my way.
I stumbled upon some people that were studying.
a new brand and and I said I didn't have any experience of designing never designed a thing in my life
didn't know about patterns you know about management of a business and and I got the rights to do
the menswear for a new brand that just came out in the market and that was guest jeans so I found
it I was a first licensee of guest jeans for men I founded the first the company that that was doing
it and at the time with 20 grand that I started in 1983 to the company to
$75 million in two years.
But I was a kid.
I was in my 20s.
I mean, I was just, I didn't even know how to handle it.
I barely spoke English.
I mean, thank God I spoke Spanish because I was my first language being born in Morocco and French.
And I managed my way through to doing it.
And I really just really was not a plan of me to do it like I'm doing it constantly right now,
to stay in the culture and do things because I'm passionate about it and really not shaking the money.
At the time, it was all about I need to just make a difference.
And all the haters, including family members, you know, that saw me living friends with the kids and with my babies at the time.
And my son is 48.
You know, it's not like kids.
And going out and succeeding was like a sweet kind of moment for me to just do it.
You know, I see work hard.
Like, I work hard, right?
And I admire other people that work hard.
And now, you know, you're up there in age.
But one day I see you in LA, one day I see you Miami, one day I see you in France, one day I see you this.
And I'm like, man, this guy, you really are the true definition of a hustler and working hard.
What motivates you now to work that part?
I often said the main reason why I am where I am right now is because of the failures.
You know, the dark times were the best time in my life.
When I suffered not long ago, I mean, when I lost everything, a few years back,
after all those things and the marriages and divorces and, you know, the partners screwing up.
And you reflect on those moments and you understand that all we can do is do the best thing that we can do.
Every day wake up, we have the will, power that God gave us for us to work as hard as we want to do.
never take anything for granted, being respectful to people, being as good as you can.
And also, we're lucky. I mean, we're blessed to know that we wake up every morning doing the things
that we are getting paid to do what we love. I mean, if Michael Jordan was not worth a few billion
dollars and it was not Michael Jordan, he'll be in his backyard shooting baskets.
Because that's what we do. I'm shooting basket every day myself. And I'm happy every morning
that I do. And I don't care if it's a one jacket, we'll make a few hundred dollars, or it's going to be a thousand jackets.
I work and I dress everything with the same way. I don't care if I'm dealing with a big celebrity
or I'm dealing with a busboy. I treat everybody the same and with respect and integrity.
Do you get more respect now than when you was doing it earlier?
Much more, yeah. I took it for granted. I mean, that's what pretty much also I lost everything.
is because I took it for granted.
I thought that was the man.
I mean, I thought I'm in my 20s.
I'm making six, seven million dollars a year.
You know, I'm doing seven minutes,
and five million dollars in sales.
And I'm like with Billy Idol and I'm with Muganz and Roses,
and I'm here with Andrew Dice Clay.
And I'm here with James Kahn.
And I think I'm believing my own bullshit.
Then at that point, you know,
then somebody like God comes in and taps you on the shore and say,
well, wake up, you know.
You're nothing.
You're just simply a channel.
of the energy that I'm giving you.
So follow the rules.
And when you're young, you don't know.
You don't have the experience.
And we made mistakes.
And learning from your mistakes are the good signs.
And you start appreciating that.
Let your darkest moments bring your most clarity.
Yeah.
You'll learn who's really your friends,
who really got your back.
Who, like you said, you know,
God gives you these lessons.
and you got to absorb it,
and you got to say,
oh, I got to change this and that,
a step my game up.
But not everybody does it.
You know, you get the fall and you get up,
and people don't learn that lesson.
And many times I fell and got up,
and I made the same mistakes and fell back again.
But there's a moment there was a shift
when it was 64 years old to make a comeback.
Actually, when you and I met that wallies
in L.A.
you know, and I reach out to you, like on Instagram.
I say, I want to meet you.
I want to see you.
And there was a shift there that I felt like it was, I'm changing it.
I'm learning from my mistakes.
And I want to be better.
I want to be.
And I understand that there was, at the, up to that point,
I never saw myself having a place in the culture,
which I respected from day one.
I stayed consistent from day one and I stayed in one lane.
I never went for the big money.
and the big sellouts of different things.
And even when I did NASCAR,
which was anti-culture in a way,
like because it was such not,
you don't think that the kids in the street would wear a NASCAR stuff,
I brought it to the streets.
And where it became,
everybody was wearing the M&Ms and the tides
and the Delan Heart stuff.
And people had no idea that Delano Hart was bigger
than Michael Jordan at the time,
you know, as far as a certain segment of the population.
And it just,
and that realization,
for me to understand when I started coming in
in like six,
five, six years ago and going to
ESAP,
ESAP, uh,
ESAP, uh,
Yams, like they,
in Brooklyn at Berkeley Center and,
and young kids, 17 years old that,
you know, that we're not even born when,
when Kobe had the moment.
And I say, what's up, legend,
such an honor to me.
So me, for what?
I mean, I only did it for the money at the time.
And I started appreciating more.
war.
And it was an ego stuff.
And when people come and ask me for a picture,
they think I make them happy.
They don't understand that they're making me happy.
They basically a validation of all the hard work and passion that put behind it.
They give me the seal of the stand-up approval,
for all of what we do.
That's how I feel.
When I see Jeff Hamilton,
I feel like Jeff Hamilton.
You know what I'm saying?
That's just me.
You know what I see?
It's like a roller.
His Jack Andrews was like a roller.
It's like you made it when you got to.
the Jevhamel.
Oh, yeah.
You feel like...
Because you said...
Because you said Genesis
of this,
you had to have money
to walk in Genesis
and buy real leather.
Like, there was levels.
You had Jew man,
you had the last year,
then you get the Genesis,
then you get to another level.
Who are some of the designers
that you seen come up?
And you had no clue
they were going to get big like that.
And you was like, wow.
I mean,
he's just one.
This is the first battle
that Chrome Hart
I haven't made.
First one ever.
Oh, that's the first one.
Like top top five.
I mean, I probably, this is like, I mean, I've been offered stupid money for that.
Yeah, yeah.
But, you know, Richard, you know, when I had guest jeans, I mean, he was a salesman that was
selling me leather.
So because I came out at the time in the 80s, when I came, I went to make the denim,
so I wanted to do something different.
So I made the denim jeans with the leather parts of part of it.
I did the jackets with the leather on it, which nobody had done.
So I was buying cream.
crazy, crazy quantities of leather.
And then he was a rap.
And I loved him because he was like
riding on his Harley and coming to the office
with the long hair. My hair was long.
We were all rock and rollers.
And I'd rather give him the business
that didn't give him the business to the guys from back east
that were the white dudes that were all square
with a suit and tie. And it was just like,
I felt it.
You know, just mind you, I'm like 25 years old.
And I'm running out 400 of employees working.
And I'm learning every day on the business
because like I said, I didn't know how to design.
I became a designer by necessity because I didn't like the way the people were doing it.
So I went to my closet and I started pulling stuff out and tried styling myself.
And I said, I don't want to do that.
I like that pocket.
I want to do that pocket on that gene.
And I start creating stuff.
And then, of course, organically became more an urban brand for me.
You know, I never, even though the guests wanted to be more department stores, sacks, Bloomingdale's, you know,
Niemann Marcus.
Myself, I started selling stuff in Detroit, in the malls.
Well, like, there was all the guys with the fur coats and the jewelry way before.
Detroit players.
Yeah, real players.
I mean, and then we just started getting that.
And it just became viral.
And we had no Instagram.
We had no advertising.
Everything just came from word of mouth.
And because we had the first one to do like fashion crazy sizes and stuff.
like that. So, so
Marge is probably the biggest one
that I saw around and
they well deserve
because, I mean, it's beautiful what they've done
and the hype that they've done.
I mean, but it was like guys like true
religion. They work for me.
I mean, seven genes
that work for me.
Citizens of humanity.
They work for me.
I've worked with the guys from Jay Brand.
I mean, all those guys on one point of time,
they all have touched all those guys,
you know, like even
even the gallery department.
I mean, he was my sales rep
when I was buying, you know,
Ralph Lauren, who was my favorite designer, by the way,
still is my favorite designer, is Ralph Lauren.
And for me, it's like the goat of goats
when it comes to fashion.
I'd like to think that I had my imprinted a bit
all along the way with a lot of designers.
There's always a point of reference that I have.
I mean, it's just a 45-year career that I've had.
And still working 15 hours a day,
seven days a week.
And I'll go out.
I mean, on Instagram, it looks like I'm having fun, which I am.
I'm having fun.
I'm having fun.
But, you know, there's a grinding.
There's a grind behind everything.
There is like Monday morning, I'll be 8 o'clock on my computer.
I close my door.
I won't leave my office until 6 p.m.
And I'll do everything from still accounting, still production, till payables,
still, you know, negotiating deals, you know, licensing deals, selling.

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
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, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer.
Street or 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 I-Heart 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.
But get that thing.
That man, hell get the flying.
He running up the court,
licking his fingers, why he got the ball.
Like, after you go through a training camp with that, I said,
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, 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 get your podcasts.
Hey, I'm Jared Adano.
You might know me as that loud guy who yells out,
help on the internet.
Help!
Somebody!
Please!
But there's so much more to me than me.
I'm an actor.
I'm a comedian, and recently I've become quite the helper myself.
And on my new podcast, Hope from a Hypocrite, I'll be changing lives,
helping people in need with my sage advice and thoughtful solutions.
Sike, I'm a comedian.
I'm not qualified to give good advice.
Join me and my comedian friends as we riff, rant,
recommend some of the most legally dubious advice known to man.
If I'm calling you, even if you're on your phone, let it ring twice.
One ring is too scary.
Cream a chicken suit.
Hey, cream a chicken suit.
This is Help from a Hypocrite,
the worst advice from the dumbest people you know.
Listen to Help from Hypocrite as part of the Mike Coutura podcast network
available on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
What's something you got coming out this big?
The biggest thing I have, I think, is probably the World Cup.
You know, the Walk Up.
So I have a global rights from the World Cup.
So that's pretty big
We're one of the World Cup jackets, man
We need an inside
He's going to get you
He got you
Let me tell you said
Jeff Hamilton
O's picks up by corn

You're right about

He said I'm in Italy right now
But what do you need Joe
I see y'all need a white jacket
This is coming your way
Joe don't worry about it
I mean always accessible
always a hard grind.
I tell people,
when you're not aware,
I have nothing to do with you.
I can be driving in my car
and I think about you.
Because I'm 55.
And we all hustle.
He works hard too
because you can't make excuses.
The bills come no matter what.
But often,
I just think,
and I think of you,
I've never seen nobody.
Your age, work as hard as you.
I just have never seen it yet.
I feel like I'm 30 years old.
I act like I'm 30 years old.
I just enjoy every second.
Like if I, if I would, I don't move differently than if I was 30 years old.
The other thing I don't do is that I won't ride motorcycles.
I won't really exercise.
I eat right.
I walk.
You know, I'm just, I'm very careful.
You might not get married again, right?
I just, you know.
No, no.
No, no.
Lose the World Cup.
Don't give up half of the World Cup, man.
Come on.
I'm not.
I'm not.
Don't just stop.
You got to learn from your mistakes.
I have a great relationship with my ex-wife.
Goch up.
You got to learn from the lesson.
Don't do that, please.
I'm blessed with my grandkids.
It's a blessing for me to be the stage of my life.
You're originally from Morocco.
I'm Jewish.
Morning Morocco.
So I'm an official African-American.
But I moved to Paris when it was 11th.
and moved to America.
It was 24.
So you don't know the little guy from Macraish.
It's the little man this small.
From Macraith.
Marrakesh.
Marrakesh.
French Martana knows him.
It's a little guy.
I don't know him.
You know, we got to bring this guy in the,
if he could get a visa or something.
Yo, I got to bring him.
I pay for it.
Let's find a little guy.
I want to fly.
Somebody's carry on.
There's a little man.
You ever seen this?
I met one.
little man like that in Abu Dhabi,
the Turkish kid.
You're talking about Asphel.
Asphel's a little bit tall.
I'm talking about little man.
Astro's a little man.
Those are my guy.
In Santo Domingo, they had a guy named Nelson.
Little guy like this.
He used to party with us.
Jump on the table.
Jump on the chair.
Jump on.
Nah, this shit crazy.
You met Austria.
Isfell's the man,
but Oswald is a little bit bigger
than these guys.
These guys are like really, you know, French knows the guy.
You know what I'm saying?
Like on Howard they have Biddlejuice.
No, Biddle juice is great.
Yeah, he was the greatest, right?
Howard Stern is probably the first original legendary podcast.
For sure, yeah.
Like, he had, he was doing whatever the fuck he wanted.
And guess what?
And it still does.
I mean, still doing it.
And he still goes to the bank regular.
He gets the bags
Like nobody I think the girl
What's the girl?
Robin and robbing?
He made 10 million a year
Like robin get the bag or more right
But but you know
Listen they have the audience
They have the stuff that they do
And and you know
They have the ups and downs
But I've done stuff with him since the 90s
When he was not even
Like syndicated everywhere
So first time he called me
And I had made a jacket for
Slash for Guns and Roses
So I want to make me
the same exact jacket.
But instead of having the top hat and the hair and the guns,
I want to do my long hair, a skeleton of my face,
and I want two microphones.
And he came in, and he came into my hotel,
and I delivered the jacket,
and he put the big checkbook.
Remember how we had the three-part checkbooks?
And he put it in the checkbook, wrote the check,
carried the balance, and he did the whole himself.
And he answered his own phone and he don't think.
It's just like very much.
They listened, the first investment I ever made.
like investment like in stocks.
Seriously?
When, when, I don't even know where it's sat.
Like when Howard Stern went to Sirius XM, I might have through $40,000.
I'll say, oh, no, this is going to be a big stock.
You know, I'm not a stock guy.
I don't really do stocks like that.
But that's the one stock I bought.
Now, I don't even know where to find that shit right now.
I don't know.
Money, not.
It's something there.
No, it's something there.
It's something there.
I don't know what it is.
But Howard Stern, you.
You know, he's a legend in the game.
Just like you, the World Cup is going to be crazy.
They said they're charging $200.
They're taking over every parking spot.
You heard about that?
They said they taking over every parking place,
every parking lot and every car that lease is $200 a lot.
So let you know off rent.
On the platform, I was looking the other day,
we were talking about the World Cup.
The average ticket test, like a good seat was $11,000.
now to take it.
11?
Yeah.
There's 104 games,
16 different cities,
48 countries.
48 countries.
I went to the World Cup in Qatar.
Qatar, yeah.
And there was 36 teams.
That was 36 teams?
Yeah, now it's like,
it's a month and a half,
it's going to be revolution.
And it's three countries,
Mexico, three cities in Mexico,
two in Canada and 11 in the States.
It's going to be here?
Yeah, it's going to be MetLife.
It's going to be the finals.
The finals is in New York
Yeah
We got to go
John Chey
We're having a lot of
A lot of pop-ups
We know fucking Jeff Hamilton
We have a lot of stores
You're going to be opening
A lot of pop-ups with that
So I'm doing a lot of
Last time you're doing
You know
So hopefully some big collaboration
Coming up with that also
Shout out to Haiti in the World Cup
Yeah
You know what I'm saying
They got in for the first time
They've been through so much
You know what I mean
Just the fact that
They can represent
The country out there
In the World Cup
It's an amazing thing
Jeff Hamilton, man.
We never had a fashion icon on this show.
We was excited to do this.
I know you got to get going, man.
We love you, brother.
Keep putting your name out there.
Keep doing your thing.
Keep smiling.
Now, you're always smiling, man.
But let me tell you something.
You just stepped my game up because now,
because I got a problem.
I got a fashion problem.
I spend too much money.
I love it too much.
But now you made me,
got some crocodiles.
But now, because you told me it's the most expensive,
I'm going to start looking for some crocodile
with a fur on the...
Like, I need to come in here with the glowing the dark crocodile.
You know what I'm saying?
I take it to that.
Because, you know, it's certain things self-explanet to them.
Right?
No.
When a crocodile, they already know what it is.
Yeah, certain thing he said.
You don't need to fur.
You know, it's got to be the mouse, though.
You don't need the logo.
You'll need anything.
You don't need nothing.
But you need the right croaker, though.
That feels like that stuff like that.
I'm not going to say the designer.
Right?
You can say the designer.
No, no, I don't want to say it, right?
Because he's a nice guy, but I called this.
You want me to say it?
Okay.
So I went to do a show for Philip Plain.
Right.
Who Philip Pline, that's your guy.
Take it back.
Philip Pline looks like the richest guy in the world, right?
And he probably is, right?
But he told me, he took me to the story.
He said, anything you want, Joe.
And it was a crocodile.
Like that's it.
He said, oh, no, Joe, nothing.
Anything but that.
I said, Philip Blonde, you're the richest guy in the world.
You told me to pick.
He said, Joe, this is my show piece.
He said, you take that.
I have nothing to show.
Like, this is everything.
I would say, yo, but, you know, I went for the best.
I went for the gusto.
I went for the big...
I did one for Arnold Schwarzenegger
through Beijon,
and that was $150,000 for like a blazer.
Crocodile?
Even like something like that,
like that directly would be like $35, $40,000.
You should have saw this guy earlier
had the camouflage,
I saw it, it looked good, yeah.
I saw, I saw it.
You know what I'm saying?
You know what I'm saying?
Does that look good?
That's a lot of cronetout trench, Jeff.
Down to your ankle.
That's what I'm talking about.
That was really good.
They look good.
The whole fit was crazy, right?
Really good, yeah.
You know, sometimes, you know, like the other day,
something I'm a big fan of, we are.
He's Bo Tager.
Yeah, me too.
Botega, a lot of urban don't understand Botega like that.
They don't know what that thing is.
Right, now they're starting.
Yeah, they're starting to know.
You got scammers, it's hustling.
You got people always want, like me.
I just said, you know, the crap.
You got to get the best.
You got guys who want the best,
no matter what it is.
They're like, oh, that's the shit I need to get.
And so that woven print, that woven fabric, it's beautiful.
I seen Cardi B at the football game with the burgundy.
And then she had all the way down to the boots all the way down to the...
Even the sunglasses are beautiful.
I mean, I just, you know, they're beautiful stuff.
I mean, but the key when it comes to branding and fashion branding and luxury branding
is number one, you have to flex for yourself.
You're buying it because you love it yourself.
You know, if you love it yourself
and you put it on yourself and you feel good
when you look at stuff in the mirror,
then you're 98%, 99% of the game is done.
Of course, you want people to see your watch and you step.
I can tell you something.
But it has to become from you, to become authentic to come from you.
We like the dress.
And then people follow up and then people recognize it.
You know, let me tell you something, Jeff, right?
Because I have a real problem with fashion
and spending money on fashion.
I've spent so much money on fashion.
But one place I've always been able to walk out of.
Fendi ferns, to me are the best firms, the best.
I don't want to say I could never afford it,
but it's so expensive, I never pulled the trigger.
I have walked out the store, seeing stuff that I really want.
And I said, walked it off and went out.
But recently, maybe like a month ago,
I finally bought my Fendi fur.
And it felt so good.
I felt like I accomplished something in life.
That's for you.
I mean, after everything I ever bought in my life,
I started bragging to people.
I was like, I did it.
And they was like, say y'all,
Jim Jones' wife, Chrissy, my sister,
I said, Chrissy, man,
she was at my house with my wife.
I said, Chrissy, I did it.
She said, what you mean?
I said, maybe 20 years.
I walked out of Fendi.
I loved every fur, but never pulled.
the trigger.
I said, I fucking pulled the trigger.
And she said, yeah, Joe, you took it to the max.
I said, yeah, I took it to the max.
Listen, the best thing about Jeff Hamilton
is everything quality.
Every jacket I ever got from you
is just supreme quality.
You know it's quality times.
And, you know, you put in so much work in the game
that people got to salute you
and just be like, you know,
and everything comes back.
Right?
in fashion.
Nowadays,
my daughter
dresses,
my nephew's
dress and they
try to show me
stuff that we wore
in 92.
And be like,
yo,
this is the new wave.
We got the fly.
I be like,
yo,
I throw the flag
on the plane.
Like,
y'all,
I don't know,
man.
I took,
you know what I did
the other day?
Somebody.
I can't.
Okay.
Somebody wore
this beautiful fur,
a white fur.
Right?
I'll tell you, it's Aesap Ferg, right, who I love very much.
He bought this, he did it right.
He wore this white mink to his ankle with their visus and all that.
And I went to looking through my pictures,
because I remember I wore that white mink before back,
like 20-something years ago.
I said, Cortereau, my stylist.
I see, your T.
You remember the time I rocked a white mink?
He was like, yes, brother.
That was like the day before the MTV or the Grammys.
We looked for that shit,
And I found that fucking picture where I wore that white mink.
I said, yeah, I wore that shit before.
Like, I just knew.
But we love getting fly.
We love staying fresh.
You know, rest of peace, my brother, Clark Kent.
He had this thing.
I think it was called Addicted to Fresh.
And he'd be like, y'all, I don't care.
I'm just addicted to fresh.
And you, my friend Jeff Hamilton, are addicted to fresh.
This ain't that.
That ain't this.
It's cracking kids.
Make some noise for Jeff Hamilton.
Y'all, Jeff Hamilton.
Yeah.
