Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:10 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.
Starting point is 00:00:28 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.

Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year.
Starting point is 00:01:17 Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the I-Hard radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Last night, a blown call changed a game.

Starting point is 00:01:46 And we're going straight to the source, the athletes themselves, their locker room stories, their reactions in the moment, and the stuff nobody gets to hear. Listen to Sports Slice on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you're going to be in the game. you get your podcast. And for more, follow Timbo Slicalife 12 in the TikTok podcast network on TikTok. I'm Michelle McPhee, and I've been unraveling the strangest criminal alliance I've ever reported on, a Mormon polygamist and an Armenian businessman.

Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:02:34 You know, we said the bread could wait because we're having a blast out here. No social media. We was fucking shit up, man. Yo, what up, y'all? This is Joe Crack to diggity, darn. Digler, don't play yourself. Shit, boy, Jaina. This is the Joe and Jada show.
Starting point is 00:03:09 every show legendary, every show iconic. I mean, this particular episode is going to be one of my favorites because I love sports. You know what I mean? And when you think about our next guest, think about being a part of arguably one of the best college basketball teams in history. When you think about my next guest, you think of the old NBA. You think of tough defense. You think of a center that could stick all other four positions on the floor. You think of, you know, just toughness, New York grit.
Starting point is 00:03:46 Think of a good person coming from a good family, a good father, good human being. Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for our brother, Joaquina Noah. It's an honor. My brother, no doubt. You know what it is. It's an honor, man. Honor to be here. We appreciate having you.
Starting point is 00:04:07 I know my man to Phil Jackson of the Ruckers over here, he couldn't wait to have you up in. You know what I mean? You can't tell him nothing. He's the Greg Popovich of the streetball. That's right. You know? Explain something to you, man.
Starting point is 00:04:21 He asked me... Now he got a shit, big... Your shit is mixed with Marlon Brando now where you... Yo, where you want to explain something. Ah! No, I don't mean no shit. I don't mean no shit like that. What I'm just trying to say is just now.
Starting point is 00:04:35 People are starting to say, Yo, y'all got too many guests on the show I happen to just Joe and Jada. But what you're doing when legendary guys like this pull up and they're available? We're going to put them on to Joe and Chase. First things first, anybody that's somebody that come to the city, you know where they're coming.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Here. That's it. Yeah, Chad, I like that shit. Anybody that come to the city. I took the plane. I took the plane to come and be on the show. They ain't flying into y'all shows. That's shit.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Take the plane. He flew it. They're talking Cam and Jayco. I know you're a fan of hip-hop. This is my first show I walk off. Yo, why you want to walk off, kids? I want to get into the shit, man. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:05:23 You can't, though. I'm not getting into shit. I'm asking you, it's a hip-hop show. What do you think about this, what they're saying online? Who's better, Cam, J-Cole, whatever the case may be? So for me, I moved to New York City from France in 98.
Starting point is 00:05:43 To me, New York City hip hop around that time, this shit shaped my life. You know what I mean? Like, I come to New York City. I'm talking English like this with the accent and stuff all Frenchy. But then Tony Parker. You know what I'm saying? On some Tony Parker shit. And then I get to New York City and the fucking hip hop is just going nuts.
Starting point is 00:06:07 I'm coming from France, and then all of a sudden I kissed, bitch-ass nigger. I bet the hood won't miss you, bitch-ass nigger. You got to me? I'm like, oh, shit, the fuck is this? So I had to learn along the way, you know what I'm saying? But that was, you know, I love basketball. Next thing you know, I'm going uptown. I'm playing basketball with the guys.
Starting point is 00:06:31 And New York, like, it shaped me. It shaped me. If I didn't have New York City, if I didn't have New York City, if I didn't have. have the hip hop because the street ball and the hip hop was so connected. And you don't see that anywhere else like that. Like Joe, like I remember you pulling up at the rucker. You know what I mean? You got all your guys with you.
Starting point is 00:06:52 You're playing you in the chip. We lost in the chip. I missed a couple free throws at the end. O.C. But I had a question for you about that because this shit fucked me up because they call some real bullshit on me. So did you pay the reps? Definitely buttered y'allumba.
Starting point is 00:07:08 I need to know because this is, this was what, like 20 years ago? Everything I earned was legit. Okay. You know what they did to me? Stealing antsy. I just, everything I earned was legit. You know, with me, we won five chips in a boat. On the sixth one, we got robbed.
Starting point is 00:07:26 And so we was up like eight points for like 12 seconds, and they kept calling five, five, and the other team just, the crowd been waiting to see me lose. You know how people hated Kobe and all this, but when he passed away, you realized, yo, we lost the treasure. It was like we were winning so much, so we had fans who just wanted us to lose.
Starting point is 00:07:47 And when we lost and we walking out the park, they barely even celebrated it. It was like, not like this. So I know what you felt like, but we didn't, I left because I was getting disrespectful at the worker. I would have stood for 20 years. But they start doing shit,
Starting point is 00:08:03 y'all only two people could come in, oh, this, this. So I'm like, yo, I don't know if they know. We get in this park lit. You know what I'm saying? But they robbed me the one year I lost, and we came back to next year. We blew them out, pause in the arm championship. You know, and I got on the mic, I got real nasty with them
Starting point is 00:08:20 because, you know, that coaching really was my life. You know, I tell everybody when I died, that casket, got to go through the rucker. You know what I'm saying? You know how it goes through your neighborhood? Because I had some of the greatest years of my life. But you didn't answer the question. question, Jay Cole and Cameron.
Starting point is 00:08:37 You're just saying New York shaping your life. I mean, killer, man. This shit is. Yeah, this is Kay. I mean, it's like big pun. I remember I come to New York. I'm listening to, and I know you from where? Elementary school.
Starting point is 00:08:52 I'm like, oh, shit, yo, this is. Different. Different. It's a different area. You know, our kids, the youth, they're being very disrespectful. And they're like, fuck you, you old motherfuckers. and I had some of my nephew's style on me with clothes I wore in videos in Flojo. They was like, yo, this is the new shit.
Starting point is 00:09:12 We got the fly. I see, yo, bro. We wore that shit in 94, 95. The other day, I'm looking at Joey Badass, who is a friend, who I got super love for. But he's sitting at the Knit Game course he got the Tretch hat on. So they bring him back all the old, but the youth might look at that and be like, yo, this thing is Joey Badass wearing the shit of a lifetime. That shit is great.
Starting point is 00:09:35 But yo, guys, like, this is all recycled shit. And so, um, Jada, my business partner is telling me to mind my business with that right there. No, I'm not. I'm telling you, feel free. Yeah. I'm telling you, I'm mining my business. Okay. Why are you minding your business?

Them niggas was the king of giving you a size 8 and a half and a 12, like, and once you leave, they were like, we sold out, so you got to pick something else. You were the king of robbing you a few stops down on the train after you buy all your snorkels, all of that shit.
Starting point is 00:13:27 You know, I grew up in it. I would have never owned the store if it wasn't for Rose. Teddy, Sheldon, all those guys. They taught us to retail business. Simon passed away. Melvin passed away. I'll tell you one thing. I was the only guy they would say, Joe,

So I used to get my sneakers and have to run, like book it, run up to the train. Because I knew graffiti, I knew how to, like, jump off the train. So if you follow me, in the train and you know we stuck in the train I know how in between the train

You're gonna have to bump and grind, pause, and fucking go to the, and I can't do that. I cannot, everybody got to play their position and do what they got to do. And I don't care about, you know, because the one thing I noticed about coaching is you could be the most athletic person

Starting point is 00:27:25 It was a different animal. Yeah, because they ain't have that. I brought a lot of NBA players, and I won't mention there was two or three that just, you know who I brought, and I'm not disrespecting because I'm a huge fan, but I bought Homeboy Jason Richardson after he wanted to slam dunk, and he wasn't the same guy in the streets that he was in that, Madison Square Garden.
Starting point is 00:27:50 You can tell he was just intimidated. He never came with that shit out there. You thought this one, he was missed a eye. Like after Vince Carter, he was the next guy dunking on dudes jumping over cars. We brought them out there two times and it was like, I got NBA players that I had to give them the pep talk, smack them in the back of their neck. Come on, guy. You're an all-star.
Starting point is 00:28:13 Like, straighten up. Like, you know, pat him back in the neck and shit. You're an all-star. You like Tibbs. You like a street Tibbs. I love Tibbs. I love tips But the truth is the truth
Starting point is 00:28:29 I had guys that were all-stars That were the most dominant in the NBA That you just seen them They might have been shitting on themselves When we get out there Because they're not used to the nutcracker The blunt the nigger come dance in front of you For no reason

Starting point is 00:29:12 He might have been a 10-time boy. He came out there, me, he might have scored two points. And he was shook. He was like, yo, but the people are on the court,
Starting point is 00:29:20 but this, nigger, this is all of them. It's real. You know, you know, And a couple of them really, really excel. A couple of them was like really, really, they loved it.
Starting point is 00:29:30 You know, Baron Davis loved it. One time I brought out there, Cotino Mobley and Stevie Francis, and the mix was going, banana. Remember when they was the duo? Al Harrington always played amazing out there. It was a lot of players. Stefan Marbury, I had them every game. You know, Stefan Morbury at that time was getting $22 million a year in the NBA.
Starting point is 00:29:55 He was the highest pay. He played out there for free. Was coming out there. Then he had his brother, Zach, you not the whack. Zach, because Zach never made it to the league. He was actually a good player, but, you know, he's the Marbury.
Starting point is 00:30:09 So they expect, Zach, you not the whack. They be on the mic, yo, Zach, you not the whack. And Zach go up in there. He scores a little 10 points and go hard. But, you know, Stefan Marlberry is the most, he was the most dedicated. street basketball NBA player
Starting point is 00:30:27 I've ever seen. And another person who never lost a single game is Ron Artes at the worker. He never lost a game he played in. Ron Outtis,
Starting point is 00:30:42 I had him one year on my team. We're playing the chip. He splits his whole hand. Splits. You've seen that before, right? What, split? Like split. Like, he had like a...
Starting point is 00:30:52 His shit was split. Like, Split. It's the championship. His shit is split wide open. Like, he needed surgery or something. He definitely stitches, right? So now I'm shook because I'm thinking the omen is old.
Starting point is 00:31:09 Like, this guy never loses. Like, I knew I was winning. Look, Ronald Tuss never lost the game. So the one game we in the chip, he splits his hand. I mean splits. So I'm like, oh, we lost. Because the man not going to be able to finish this game. It's like fourth quarter.

Starting point is 00:38:27 You went outside and was like, yo, you was emulating the moves. Like, yo, I got to be like this guy. This guy's incredible. I would say for me, like, I grew up a Knicks fan. And my pops used to take me to the games. So I was in the garden when Al J. hit the shot. I was there, too, by the way. Yeah, you definitely been to more Knicks games.
Starting point is 00:38:48 No, no, no, no. But I was there that game. I was with Allen Averson. He was here, and we said it on the episode. He was with me. I've been looking forever for the pitchers of that game, but it's the other side. And we was in them seats.
Starting point is 00:39:02 We was like a little fourth row, fifth floor. We wasn't in the court side. But that, you saw that whole crowd. Me too. I saw the whole shit go crazy. So, but, you know, it's like when you're a kid, you're just watching all the games, you watch it was still VCR and shit.
Starting point is 00:39:19 So I had all the magic Johnson tapes. Black and white. I'm watching. I wasn't black. It wasn't. No, I was in black. I'm an old nigger. I used to watch honeymoon is black and white.
Starting point is 00:39:30 Honeymoon is oldie K morning black and white. Now they got the, they got the colored version now. They even got Wizard of Oz in color now. They redid it. The point is it was black and white. I used to watch the Knicks when the shit was black and white. I used to watch TV when the TV turned off. You were too young for that, right?
Starting point is 00:39:51 Twelve midnight they throw the American flag, an Indian dude come out and he looked at the fucking pollution. He was going green a long time ago. He'd be looking and he started crying the Indian dude. With the Indian outfit every night, he looked and he see the trash and he start tearing and that's it.
Starting point is 00:40:14 You wake up in the morning TV again. That shit is off all night. All night. I'm old. I'm old. when I'm a kid. When I'm a kid, the honeymoonist
Starting point is 00:40:27 was probably like the last show on with Art Carney. That shit be going off. Audrey medal. Then they got the... George Medal. Then it got a flag.
Starting point is 00:40:37 And then they got an Indian dude. They're trying to tell you, yo, don't throw shit in the street. Don't pollute. You're fucking up the earth. And he come over there and he started crying and shit. And that's how TV turned off every night.
Starting point is 00:40:48 Damn. What do you mean? It turned off. When you was watching what you was watching, what you was watching. We're talking about basketball right now? We're talking about the... Yeah, yeah, yeah, basketball.
Starting point is 00:40:59 You're saying DVD. Oh, no, it's just... It was more like... It was more... You know, you're walking in the street and you just... You're doing moves. You don't even have a ball or nothing.
Starting point is 00:41:09 It don't matter. You're working on your... You was in the street. Wow. Just think, okay, what am I going to do? So you're walking up the block, working on your shit. You already there in your mind,
Starting point is 00:41:21 you know what I'm saying? So for me, That was my mentality as a kid was just like, I wouldn't tell nobody like, yo, I'm going to the league. That was not how I moved, but the reality is I'm a third, I'm a third generation athlete. Talk about it. Like my father was a soccer player from Cameroon.
Starting point is 00:41:40 My pops is a Hall of Fame tennis player. Five. Only African player to ever win a grand slam. Wow. Last Frenchman to win a grand slam. Wow. So I grew up seeing all that shit, just knowing what it takes. Just knowing what it takes to be a pro.
Starting point is 00:42:00 You know what I'm saying? It wasn't like, yo, my pops would wake me up in the morning. Yo, let's go for a run. You know what I'm saying? Like, that was my game. I wasn't more talented than half the guys out there. But I had that education of, all right, wake up in the morning, the discipline of what it takes.
Starting point is 00:42:21 Like, when I see you fucking tired and I got two more gears because I'm running three miles before school because I know nobody else doing that shit. And y'all fucking up the drills, y'all don't want y'all coach say something because you got 20 points so you think that you can just, I don't give a fuck what the coach got to say. Like New York City, more than just like looking at guys and being like, yo, I'm looking at guys like, this is what I'm not supposed to do.
Starting point is 00:42:49 And this is what I'm not supposed to do. A lot of guys should have been there, man. There was a lot of guys who were better than me. What a blessing. Same thing happened to me. I don't believe it happened to Kiss, because Kiss always been the best. But when I got on, I'm networking in Manhattan. I'm performing at SOBs.

He still gave them niggas like 41. He went to the last oxygen. He was trying to die. Greg Popper's just to sit them out and put reason with O.H.
Starting point is 00:46:45 He used to make Tony Parker and Tim Duncan and them not play since he put O.H. Yeah, Pop. He was cool like that. Man, they used to, they were so good. The Spurs were so good. Talk about chemistry. One day, Tony's like, yo, let's have lunch. I'm not feeling like lunch planning, you know, buddy, buddy before the game.

We had him. We had Big Duck, Brad Miller. Brad Miller changed my fucking whole shit, but he, one day after practice, he goes, you know,
Starting point is 00:48:37 he had a big, he used to put dip in his mouth. You know, big country's out. Redneck truck. Redneck truck. Exactly. But one of my best friends... Might have had the Confederate under the seat. The Confederate flag.
Starting point is 00:48:51 He might... But, you know, but the best. The best of the Confederates. The best of the Confederates. The best of the Confederates. They ain't got anything in his mouth. Come. Be careful.
Starting point is 00:49:03 So he got the dip, right? And he's like, yo, young fella, don't ever shoot a jump shot again. Here's what I need you to do. Catch the ball at the elbow. Dribble handoff. If he's overplaying it, throw the back door pass. Yo.
Starting point is 00:49:21 So fun. Two things. He just told me two simple things that change my whole shit. Like, yo, I had seasons where I'm averaging five dimes a game. Now shooter. Just from that little. Just let the big fella get the ball at the elbow. This guy's.
Starting point is 00:49:40 favorite bars for me was like Sam I could sell. Like Sam I can sell. Right? And every time I see Sam Cassell, I tell him we got to bring him on the podcast. Wasn't nobody like Sam Cassell. Sam Cousel's a coach. Whoever he's teaching is fucking learning. He was one of the last technicians. Like he's like a fucking brainiac that could play.
Starting point is 00:50:04 Experience is a motherfucker. And when somebody just gives you advice, and you could apply it and turn around and make you so much better. It's amazing to me. And that's dope for Brad because you guys had a hell of a team. You know what I'm saying? And y'all were just young. It was kind of like the OKC team when they had KD.
Starting point is 00:50:30 They had, you know, they split them up. James Hardin. Like, what kind of team could that have been if they played together? Or Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter, split that shit up. Yeah. You guys had a hell of a team and a hell of a coach. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:46 Because you know, I'm a Tibbs guy. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I fuck with Coach Tibbs, man. Shout out Tibbs, man. Um, it's all right. No, he got $30 million on the walkout. He's all right.
Starting point is 00:50:57 I saw that clip. I saw that clip. Y'all were wilding on the 30 million. Bro. Well, you know, by the way, exactly. You want a coach. I mean, that's a hell of a walk-on.
Starting point is 00:51:08 It's a highway robbery. Huh? Highway robbery? No, no, he deserved everything. We ain't been there 25 years. They should have gave him more. Exactly. You should make history and bring them back right now, like tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:51:21 Make a big thing. Bring him back. Nah, shout out. Tips was the best, man. It's sad because Coach Brown, the problem I got with Coach Brown is his sneakers. Yo, you, go. When he got on, when he rocked on it? No, your coach was part, the team is pie.
Starting point is 00:51:37 Tims was rocking, Versacee, Jifanchis, all of them. If your coach is pie, your team is pie. And Coach Brown, he's my neighbor. He lives around in the neighborhood. Everybody says, it's a beautiful guy. But his fucking sneak is, I'm not intimidated. So if I'm looking at the coach, yeah, you coach. You're the fucking leader.
Starting point is 00:51:59 He might got some bullshit on to intimidate you. Now, he got some bullshit on. He got, like, fake converts. He might have bad feet. No, that's not helping to feed either. It's not comfortable. Anyway, Coach Brown, I wish you luck. The system looks like it's going to work by mid-season.
Starting point is 00:52:18 They're going to be the fluidity. There you go. Another thing, I want the job. I ain't got the pause. Job of what? I ain't got the heart to tell you in person because I see James Dolan at all against. But if someone could tap them,
Starting point is 00:52:31 if Clive Frazier retires, I want the job. I'm giving up everything. Being you, the Glory Day. It's over, rapping everything. To be the announcer of the New York Knicks. You gotta wear the suits. It ain't no money. It ain't no money.

Starting point is 00:53:00 I'm ready for the job, Jay. Swishing and dish. Swishing and dishing. Willing and dilling. Willing and dilling. Willing and dill and jiving. What? I wear the fucking cowhide suits
Starting point is 00:53:10 in honor of Clod. Mount Clyde the other day said, yeah. Some, there you go, Pat Riley. He used to have a hard time. He told him that's why he turned it to a coach. He used to try to stick me out there.
Starting point is 00:53:25 I used to kill him. You know, I'm not even going to lie to you the other day. You know when people start dying this shit, he's not dying, right? But you know where people... Yo! Listen. Listen.
Starting point is 00:53:36 Everybody. No, no, I'm not saying that. You know when people start dying, the motherfucker dying, he's on the deathbed. He knows he's going at six hours. He'd be like, yo, I killed 36 people. They start telling their shit. You know, they're dying. The motherfucker's start, y'all.

No, I think the league now, it changed a lot, man. Like, you know, like, when you walk around New York City, you're like, why does it feel, why does the city feel so polished? Like, the money's so big that I think that,
Starting point is 00:56:05 And because of the social media and all that, I think everybody's just on their best behavior. Like, you don't even, they don't even go, they're playing video games. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's a different. That's you John Moran. Unless you John Moran, that's right.

Starting point is 00:57:00 You're not bigger than the program. Fall in line, or you're going to fall by the way? Side. Tell me about it. That's right or wrong. I lived it. I lived it here. I got kicked off the Knicks in the middle of the winter. I got, I don't even have a job anymore. How'd that? That was good. That was a good question. How did it happen? Jay, they barely wants to know, but that was a good one, Jay.
Starting point is 00:57:28 Corny Horny. Who was Corny Hornie? Hornishek. Horneesh. Jeff Hornishak? Yeah. What happened with him? He ain't fuck with you.
Starting point is 00:57:38 So he ran up on me. Like, he wanted to fight me. That's what happened. But I mean, look, at the end of the day, I'll take my part. When I was on the Knicks, I wasn't right. Like, I just got surgery.
Starting point is 00:57:56 No, no, no, this is, this is a fucking movie. This is a movie. I'm a free agent, but I got hurt the year before. I remember. Full shoulder reconstruction. So I do my surgery at HSS. That best place.

I'm walking in the streets, but I'm a free agent, so I'm walking in these streets, everybody, yo, Jo Jo Keene, you coming home, what's up? I get the call from Phil Jackson a week before free agency. I'm coming to New York.
Starting point is 00:58:33 This shit is like dream come true shit. But I'm already on my injuries. It's piling up, injuries piling up. I hate that. It's the worst. You know what I'm saying? I'm fucking ready to. This is like dream come true shit

Starting point is 00:59:03 Making it rain Making rain was hot That was making rain was hot Making rain was hot And you know It's also You gotta understand When you're playing in the NBA
Starting point is 00:59:13 The amount of money you make it's on a ticker. Like, I remember being in the club when I signed my deal with the Knicks. I'm seeing people like, yo, look what Jo Kuhin getting. You know what I'm saying? That's why my girl made, shout out my girl Robin.
Starting point is 00:59:32 She made Boala Alert for that. You know, Boala Alert on Instagram? She made it so that when a boller comes in the club, they'd be like, yo, ladies, Joaquin Noah is worth 100. No, no, that's the true Inception of Ebola alert So that you could like Know what these guys are making
Starting point is 00:59:53 Like that's a fact They know what you're making It's crazy Hey about that I don't disclose nothing You go right now they say fat You're worth like a million dollars right now And the net worth I'm not worth nothing
Starting point is 01:00:05 Exactly Don't tell them nothing I'm not worth a thing They told me I was worth a million dollars I had a million eight hundred thousand dollar watch on when I saw that shit in the network I was like okay perfect I'm good you know what they tell y'all shit so you out there doing the most is what you're saying I'm doing it like so I get kicked off the nicks I get into it with with corny horn and
Starting point is 01:00:32 now this is the first time of my life where I got a lot of money I'm young but I don't have a job so I'm like if I stay in New York City right now. It's a rap. I'm fucking myself up. So I had to, I rented a house in L.A. Thank God I had great mentors,
Starting point is 01:00:54 Lair Hamilton, a big wave surfer. So from end of January all until December. So it was like almost a year. I had to train. I was training by myself.
Starting point is 01:01:07 I didn't have a team to rock with it. But thank God, you know, Memphis picked me up and I got to finish my career, you know, playing off the bench for a year. And it was a blessing. But, like, yo, I had nine surgeries, bro. Nine.
Starting point is 01:01:23 You know what I'm saying? But, like, yo, come on, man. Like, I got to live out, like, coming from here and being able to make money, take care of my kids, take care of my family. You know what I'm saying? Like, I got to live it at the highest level. The New York shit is like, Ira. When I go in there, it's like, damn, it hurt. I wish that.
Starting point is 01:01:47 I wish it would have been better, you know what I'm saying? You know, they do that a lot. They have a tendency of bringing people when they, a little bit past their prime. Say, Rashid Wallace. Everybody, man. Well, the Knicks do that. Not now. Not now.
Starting point is 01:02:02 Not now. Not now. But the Knicks. Now we go. Well, you know, I believe that Leon Rose and West changed the whole DNA. of the New York Knicks because me personally I would have never got rid of Lynn sanity. And Tibbs?
Starting point is 01:02:19 Tibbs changed the whole shit. We went to the thing for 25 years. We're not even talking about that. I'm talking about the DNA. Yeah, yeah. Right? I forgot what happened. Somebody who's playing on the Knicks now.
Starting point is 01:02:31 When the Knicks read up his contract, I couldn't believe it. As a Nick fan, we always lose the nigga once they get nice. They go and they brought them back. I said, oh, they finally changing the DNA. You know, like Lynn Sanity,
Starting point is 01:02:46 I wouldn't have got rid of Lynn Sanity. He was must-see TV. The man was on fire. Why wouldn't you bring the brother back? I didn't even understand. A lot of moves they were making, they wouldn't pick Ronald Chess because he was from New York.
Starting point is 01:03:01 They was bypassing New York players, like homegrown, born. The Knicks had 30 years of trading away niggies that turned out they'd be incredible. where they went. Rod Strickland, Mark Jackson, everybody.
Starting point is 01:03:16 But one of the reasons they were doing that was they... Answered it. It's... Too close to home. So what they... I'm telling you, just from a fan, I felt like they didn't want Ron Altess in his prime. They didn't want these guys because they're from the city.
Starting point is 01:03:32 They had a mentality of, though, they're too close to home. It's a real thing. It's a real thing. Huh? That's a real thing, by the way. What it is, from the outside end, it's on the individual. You know he's going outside. You know J.R. Smith's going outside.
Starting point is 01:03:48 Brunton and Hart is in the library in Westchester. Chilling out, eating wings and Canada like, is this diff is on the thing. Well, that's great. It's great that we got some players that want to stay home and do they, thank God. Thank God. You know, because I hate going to the strip club and seeing the star of the shit in there throwing money. I'd be like, yo, this shit crazy. These motherfuckers.
Starting point is 01:04:10 What? What? And that same token, Mason and them was outside, and it still was winning. This nigga Zion got like 32 strippers pregnant. Oh, shit. I'd be really fucking mad. Oh, man, come on. Yo, I would be really pissed if I was the fan of this shit.
Starting point is 01:04:31 And Zion, my guy, I want him to play the greatest. I wanted him to be, that's the last guy begged to be a fucking... 32's a lot. Sick. 32's a lot. Listen, you know, that's the fat Joe, you know what I'm saying? But I don't mean it like that. I don't want to.
Starting point is 01:04:46 I love you, Zion. I love you, Zia, man. I'm a fan of your game when you're healthy. I don't say you love him out to say he got 32 baby strips. I know. I would be really mad if I went to every strip club and Zion was in there. And he's unhealthy and this and this. I'd be really pissing.
Starting point is 01:05:01 I went through that with the Knicks a lot. What's my man? He got shot in the knee. Cleanty Anthony. Cleantany outside Starlitz. They fixed him back. That was disgusting, though. Any street nigger who had something to do with that?
Starting point is 01:05:15 You know, that was disrespect. Well, the man, an athlete, you shoot him in his kneecap. It couldn't have been that serious. He should have gave it up. Gave what up? Whatever they wanted. So they was robbing him and he... That's fucked up.
Starting point is 01:05:30 They just didn't like his knee and shot it. That was personal. That was personal. No, that was personal. They shot him in his knee. That ain't had nothing to do with no robbery. Just me. Fat Joe criminal theology 101.
Starting point is 01:05:41 that was bigger than the robbery. They shot him in the knee. He was fucking somebody, girl. They shot him in the... I'm telling you, what must have happened. I don't know the facts. They're not robbing the dude shooting him in his knee.
Starting point is 01:05:52 He was fucking somebody bitch. And they said, you know what? This is the third warning. That's fucking. Chagito gave it to him. Chakito. I'm telling you. But anyway...
Starting point is 01:06:03 You need to go back to the record, man. I can't do it. A. Jimby trying to get me... A buddy tried to get me out there all the time. I can't do it. I would take the whole summer off. I wouldn't make a dollar. I'm number one, okay?
Starting point is 01:06:20 You could keep all your flags. You want to keep your flags or you want to throw them. I'm number one in America. Westlaw is number one in America. White America is begging to give me money. And I'd be like, yo, the whole summer's off. I got a coach. And me, I'm a different coach.

Starting point is 01:07:24 what we should call it. 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,
Starting point is 01:07:40 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.

Starting point is 01:11:32 do nothing for me, Mama. I'm sorry. You know what I said? One of the greatest point gods that ever live, the greatest handos ever created was bone collector and he came up to me one summer
Starting point is 01:11:48 and we coming in the park and then we giving out the terrorist squad jersey he says Joe my whole life I want to win a chip yo Joe Joe Joe Joe he said how can I join? I say you my friend cannot join the team
Starting point is 01:12:00 he was like looking at me and he had the greatest handle in the universe and I was like you don't want to win a championship you want individual achievement and people didn't realize the rule was once we up by 20? Then play the game
Starting point is 01:12:16 Allie you act stupid, but I want fucking to win. I'm going in there to win and you. We play basic basketball till we blowing you out. Now we do the tricks. You know what I'm saying? Hey, buddy, they didn't understand that. We're walking up in there to win. We had blue collars.
Starting point is 01:12:32 Tell me some of the big guys we had DP. The Beast. Remember the Beast? Oh my God. BJ the Beast? Oh, my God. BJ? He had abnormal strength and he didn't want no
Starting point is 01:12:48 limelight. He didn't want nothing. Who's the coach from C.R. Syracuse now? He played for us. Adrian Orchie. Adrian Autry never bothered nobody. He played his team. He threw the backpack on and took the train and got out of there. He never hung out.
Starting point is 01:13:05 There's guys like that. What was my man? It was the preacher. These are guys you'll never say they're there. We couldn't win these chips without these guys. These guys got all the rebounds. made the right block at the right time. And, you know, we had guys that went in there to really win who's like, yo, we're going to win a chip.
Starting point is 01:13:23 It ain't just about the, you know what I'm saying? And so, you know, we're going to get to that. But it wasn't about that. And we, you know. Good times. Wow. Derek Rose, right? We had G. Herbo up here, young brother.
Starting point is 01:13:38 You know, he's out there saying, you know, all these young dudes, my nephew is crazy out here. Man, these guys are crazy. daughter's crazy. Gee Herbal said that Derek Rose is better than Michael Jordan. He didn't really mean that. And so what he's just saying in his era when he grew up, he watched him in high school.
Starting point is 01:13:57 How are you going to say he didn't mean that? I didn't know what he meant. He didn't mean that. And so what I'm saying to you is that in his era of high school, he saw Derek Rose in the street games. He saw him in high school. He grew up. He's homegrown.
Starting point is 01:14:13 Yeah. And then he excelled to be the youngest MVP. How unfortunate was his injuries and how great of a player. He was already a greater of, I mean, even his last year, he scored like 51 somewhere, right? When Derek Rose in his prime, when he stepped onto the court, it was like the energy for the team. Like, you know what I feel like when somebody pull up to the court
Starting point is 01:14:41 and you're like, oh, we winning? every time he was on the court, you felt like you had a chance you could win. I mean, we're not talking about the athleticism and all those things. It was just like... It was out of control. It was out of control.
Starting point is 01:14:53 He was a killer. D.Row was must see TV. Must watch TV. Oh, shit. And, but when the injury happened, it was like somebody died, bro. Like, that's what it felt like. It was like, yo, we were winning the championship that year.
Starting point is 01:15:11 There was no question in my mind. It was like, we just lost the heat in the Eastern Conference the year before. We're young boys. And now it's our fucking time. That's what it felt like. So when he got hurt, it was like, we didn't have a shot anymore. Damn. Even talking about it now, it's still hurt.
Starting point is 01:15:31 It's still hurt because it's like it's the biggest what if, like, you know, it's like when you really want, when you care about, like, I hear you talking about the ruck guy. I was like, I see how passionate you are about the winning. He was all of that. He embodied all of that. And the way he embodied Chicago during that time, it was like, it was crazy, man. It was like, you know, Chicago's a crazy place. You know, different.
Starting point is 01:15:55 Like, we talk about streetball shit. You can't even do the streetball shit over there in Chicago. They can't do it. It's too violent. Kids are dying every day, you know. So what Derek represented coming from that and represent and the way that he represented that every day on the.
Starting point is 01:16:12 court. These young kids were just like... He was a guy. Yeah. Yeah, it was all of that. And he was like humble, you know, it was like all that. He didn't, the way he carried himself through the fucking bright lights, you know, it was like, it was impressive, you know.
Starting point is 01:16:28 I see a lot of guys get caught up in the lights, you know, like when the lights come, it's like, yo, you don't know how you call you lost in the sauce. That should be a new term you bring back and you recycle. lost in the sauce. You guys are lost in the sauce. But the best, man. Best human. Fuck basketball.
Starting point is 01:16:52 Like, in terms of brotherhood and the loyalty that he has for his people, the way he takes care of his people. Like, man, shout out. Poot, honestly, I'm impressed. I love people. Like, you see it. Like, when you go through adversity,
Starting point is 01:17:06 you see who's a real motherfucker. And when motherfuckers have real success, you also see that shit too. You know what I'm saying? Like, can you have a humility about yourself when, you know, when you're around, when people look at you as great? Now, when you're young,
Starting point is 01:17:24 I give every rapper a two-year grace period. Right? Because I asked little cocky car who came here. He's a young boy that's on fire. And I said, yo, I know what's like for people, regular people to know me, your fat Joey. And then the next day I got a hit.
Starting point is 01:17:40 and they run in like, yo, fat, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. For me, it takes like two years to get off that cloud and then we'll see who you truly are. Did you let the fame get to you, the money get to you, the success? You know, you don't know how many rappers I've seen come in humble, and two years later they got a purple Yorkie dog with them and they start acting like they forgot the whole shit. So I give them two years because it takes two years.
Starting point is 01:18:09 It takes two years for a girl who barely got men to all of a sudden be a sex symbol and every guy they ever thought in the history of mankind is rapping to them every day at a club and all. It takes two years for all that shit to settle down, soak in. Now, if you're an asshole, you're an asshole. If you're gas or you think who you are, you are, who you are, or you come back to Earth and you pretty much who you are. So when you're young, I can see people getting caught. on that shit, but then you got to figure out life.
Starting point is 01:18:42 Somebody got law what they're talking about out there. I give them a grace period. You know what I mean? Anybody who just come into money, come into fame, you know, they got to get used to this new lifestyle of what's going on. And, you know, and if you're full of shit, you're full of shit. And we've seen more full of shitters than, you know,
Starting point is 01:19:03 I always ask Angie this. Angie Martinez, one of my wife's best friend. She's always in the house. I'll be like, your aunt. Angie don't talk shit even though. Let me know. But I be asking, Anz, your Ange, what are the artists? Because she's in the radio. She walks them come for the first spin.
Starting point is 01:19:19 And then they come by the next year, the next year, the next year. And I asked her quietly beyond the scene. Like, who are some artists? She's like, Joe, please. If you even start to believe the shit that I've seen on the radio of how people switched up and they get caught up into fame, the lights. The money.
Starting point is 01:19:40 Yeah. But one thing that bugs me out about athletes, you the man, college, you're the man, NBA, the crowd is screaming for you, you walk in. How hard is it as an athlete when you retire and you don't hear that no more? Mm-hmm. You know, us, Patty LaBelle, I just seen her on TV. She's going on tour 81 years old. Smokey Robinson and them, they still rocking.
Starting point is 01:20:07 Mm-hmm. 80 years old, the artist, as long as you got a voice, God willing, you could keep going. The athlete is an expiration day. For real. And what does that feel like? No, no, they got the paper.
Starting point is 01:20:21 Oh, no. Yeah, that's what you need. Oh, my name is Miami is Jamal Mashburn. He ain't playing 50 years. He's up. He walks around with his wife like, hi, Joe. I'd be like, damn, then they got to have it. You know.
Starting point is 01:20:35 Of course they are up financially if they didn't blow the bag. Yeah. Well, it's more than the bag. The bag is definitely a piece of it. But it's true. You're playing in front of 20,000 people, you know, for as long as you play. And then all of a sudden, when it's done, it's like, you don't get that no more.
