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.
The story I've told myself can then shape my behavior, and that can lead me to sabotage the possibility of connection.

If a baby is giggling in the back seat, they're probably happy.
If a baby is crying in the back seat, they're probably hungry.
But if a baby is sleeping in the back seat, will you remember they're even there?
When you're distracted, stressed, or not usually the one who drives them,
the chances of forgetting them in the back seat are much higher.
It can happen to anyone.
Parked cars get hot fast and can be deadly.
So get in the habit of checking the back seat when you leave.

I saw history.
We're going to get into there, yeah.
No, I want to hear that all frit.
Like, you were telling me a story behind it.
Before we even go corporate style,
young kids, I'm in the studio,
bad boy, they're working on a Lavert, sweat, and Gil out.
So, gee, I was pinning some bars, as I was telling you earlier.
You know what I mean?
For somebody, a dice game breaks out.
My brother right here.
You know what that go, Junk?
Keith and Gerald got the bank.
Now, every, I'm like, oh, yeah,
I'll give me some of this R&B money the night, baby.
If I, the last thing I, if I don't finish the soul,
I'm going home with some rat.
They sleep on R&B.
They think you are on B, you might be.
They got that shit on silk linen.
They end the whole student, everybody.
Bunny rabbits.
Rabbit is the whole junior mafia.
We don't like.
Your sweat.
You ain't feel.
Sorry for these guys you took all their money?
That's that Harlem shit, huh?
I took their money as they.
I talked to you.
I talked to you later.
That's a fact.
It ends us.
I never forget it, dog.
You can't tell me I wasn't going home with it.
I didn't even care if I finished the sessions.
I got some money from Cheryl and Keith today.
Psych, they aired me.
I'm talking about to the bones gristle, man.
Yeah.
The whole student.
You know, though.
We could,
everybody out.
He cleaned the damn
whole stew out.
So you've been a gambler your whole life?
He was always nice to shoot dice.
Yeah, I'm good at that.
You know, I used to tell,
when I go on,
used to go to tour and go to casinos,
I used to tell everybody better on me.
Everybody made money.
Who used to bet against?
Like, any of the R&B singers
at the tour or just at that casino?
I'm good at the Crap Table,
casino.
And I'm good.
I'm good.
That's crazy.
I remember when I wasn't talking.
I'm talking to Jay Z or O.G. Juan, I go down to Atlantic City with Chris Gotti.
And, you know, I don't gamble for nothing.
He does.
I caught beginners.
I was rolling for like an hour straight.
They was like, seven.
We just kept winning.
That boy, Juan couldn't bet.
He's on the other table.
He looked sick like a puck.
He's like, damn, this thing got the roll of a lifetime.
I mean, I was literally on there for like an hour.
That's it.
One thing is crazy about the casino.
When you win, they don't want to give you your money, huh?
No, they don't want to give you your money.
They want to comp.
They want to cop anything.
I had the biggest rooms than ever at the Mandalay Bay because they would comp,
comp, comp, comp, comp.
They fucked up with me.
One time they comped me, the biggest suite is the only time my grandmother ever left
the Bronx.
She never left the block in like 80-something years.
I gas said to go to Atlantic City with me.
She's looking out the window like his marshes.
Like, she couldn't believe it was so beautiful.
She'd never been in the shit.
So we in there, them they were sending me
lobster, steaks, all type of shit.
I don't know nobody.
They kept coming up to the room.
You ready to go downstairs?
Mr. Joe?
I was like, no, chilling.
We eat lobsters, we champagne and everything.
They were like, Mr. Joe, you ready to come down to theirs?
I was like, man, I might have played a couple of slots
on the niggas and broke out.
Like, they got.
They lost with me.
I'm telling you that.
That was like an all-you-can-eat buffet.
They lost.
Sweat, man.
Let me tell you something.
You're one of my idols.
You're one of my biggest inspirations.
You know, I'm thinking driving down here,
well, passenger down here in May as car.
And I'm just thinking, like,
I remember when I fell in love with your music,
I never even thought I would meet you in my life.
Like, just to meet you.
You know what I'm saying?
And the fact that we're friends, you know,
is surreal to me.
Who's like that for you?
Like, you know, I love Keith's where I bring you to every party.
I think, you know, who's like that for you that was out before you
that you can't believe you became cool with or you love like that?
There was a few people, JJ, Jay, Johnny Gill, you know, when I met Gerald, you know what I'm saying?
It was like Eddie Lavert when I met them.
Eddie Laverte.
You know, I grew up listening, you know, Casanoble was one of her joints.
You know, I know.
You know, I never been friends.
You know, that's my all of them shit.
That's my all of shit right here.
Can't believe you got the worst.
So, when I, you know, when I first came out,
like everybody used to go to this holiday, you know,
Jersey, a full.
Roof full.
In a roof full.
So, you know, that's why you spent a lot of time
when I had to hear a reggae.
God damn.
You know, you take the girl,
you take the girl load of the root full.
So that's how I met LaVerd, not Mark.
I met Mark.
You met him at Route 4?
Yeah, at the holiday end.
That holiday in, they used to be at Route 4, right?
Everybody used to go to that one back in the day.
You know what I was saying?
It's like, you know, right off the turnpike, boom, right there.
So that's where I met Mark at.
They were standing there and they had a show at the Apollo.
And I went to the machine because I came up the room
and went to the snack machine.
It would get a little sudden.
And I said, oh, man.
That was what I wanted had just dropped.
It just had came out.
I said, oh, man.
Damn, you mocked from.
Leverk. He'd say, yeah.
He said, you know, Mark had the dark
shades on, you know how Mark was. He had got
dark shades on. He said, yeah,
I'm Keith Sweat. He said, Keith Sweat. He said, Kisweat, that name
sound familiar. Yeah, I got the little record I call
I Warner. He said, oh, shit, that's Jill's favorite record.
We got a show at the Apollo
the night with the Whispers.
He said, you should come by. So I
came by. That was my first time meeting
Jill and, you know,
Sean and all of them. So, you know what
I'm saying? And then once we met each other,
we became the best of friends.
We became like brothers and, you know,
because I never thought, you know,
I was big friends or the old Jays and the verse
or what used to go to Cleveland all the time
and stayed at the house and everything.
So for them, that was,
Johnny and him was like,
that's why I put the LSD thing together
because they were all my,
what was in my two favorites.
Wow, I didn't know that,
but Johnny killed.
It's good at Apollo, though, for you,
when you say you went to pulled up on them
after Apollo for me,
when I think of the Apollo,
I'm not sure if I turned.
I was even turning 11.
I was even 12 or 13.
And I'm like, for my birthday,
I don't know what I asked for
for that particular birthday.
But you ended up at the Apollo?
My mom and my dad,
for you suckers that and then go off with two parents
and you think it's a bad thing.
They took me to the Apollo.
Is you?
Heavy D.
L.L.
It was the best show of my, though.
I'm like, what I'm going to do with a concert?
My mom's right here, my father's right here.
This shit was amazing, dog.
It left a lifetime memory on me for ever.
L L L L.
L. L. L.
And the Pahle shit was incredible.
I would never forget it.
They ripped.
Yeah, that was my first.
It was crazy because my first tour was with Heavy Diener Boy,
salt and pepper.
and myself.
That was my first tour.
You know,
shout out to Salt and Pepper.
They just won the award
in the Hall of Fame.
Yes, yes, yeah.
I was so proud of them.
You know, let me tell you something.
I did some shows with Saw and Pepper
and the women, it's 99.
It definitely ain't Fat Joe fans at that show
because the women is 99% come out for,
I mean, there is no men.
And the whole audience is just women.
Three guys went up in there,
they're here flows up.
You know what I'm saying?
So Salt and Pepper, man.
I'm so proud of them.
We love them, man.
You know, Heavy D, that's another one of my idols.
You know, I got to be real cool.
We have Heaven come to Miami and hang out with us.
I remember the first time I met him, the same situation like a Lavert.
I'm at Tavenan on the Green.
They were throwing them ill parties.
And I'm using the restroom and the door opened and somebody going,
you got to flow, Joe, you got to, I turn around the fucking Heavy D.
I almost pissed on myself.
I couldn't fucking believe it.
I was like, yo, Evans, man.
My fucking I do, man.
He walked in and we got cool and we went to eat after that.
And I was just like, yo, heavy deep.
Like, to me, that was like...
That was that era, man.
That was the best error.
You know, we had Mike Epps on here.
And Mike Epps gave...
I told him, what's your top five comedians?
He didn't mention Dave Chappelle.
His excuse for not mentioning it was right on.
Because he says, you know,
me and Chappelle the same era.
I got to mention Richard Pryor.
I got to mention the old school guys that was before us who inspired us.
That's how I feel.
I can see here and say, nah,'s J-Z, but we are from the same error.
When they asked me, I got to say LL, K.R.S.
You know, that's that era before us.
These are guys we used to look at what we didn't even think we would ever be a rapper or be successful.
So, you know, when I'm at Heavy D, man, I used to try to dance like Heavy D.
still try to dress like every D.
Today I'm Gerald Laverte, though.
Rest of the Beastie.
As Lee.
I heard some stories about Gerald Laverer.
He had the ladies, man.
Geraldine girl, you know,
there ain't nothing I won't do for you.
But the guys ain't giving it up like that no more.
Like, they're not singing to the women like...
I don't you feel about the state of R&B,
or is it even a state?
I feel like they're trying to do away with the kind of music
we was raised and grew up
on the texture of you.
Like what I said about R&B now
is some of the R&B artists,
they want to rap, they want to be rappers.
Because, you know, my attitude is
R&B is supposed to be full play.
Like when you're breaking up, making up with your girl,
you want to play something fly.
You know, because if you are going to scream,
I'm a motherfucker, fuck you.
And all that too.
Then you put an R&B record on,
the R&B record saying the same thing.
You don't have to add.
more confusion.
The R&B record
cursing that all of y'all to y'all too.
You know what I'm saying?
So the R&B record is supposed to
calm you down. Listen, baby.
I can't say what I want to say
to you, so I'm going to let this record say it.
You know what I'm saying? So we need to
calm this shit down, have a real
conversation.
Because if you, it's, I'm going to
fuck you and hit me over
the head and the R&B records talk about
all that. You're like, yo, let's get,
it's a fight. It's still
a fight. Let me tell you something. This shit got out of
head about two years ago.
So I'm used to listening to LL doing it and doing it well, doing, you know, the guy and girl,
you know, I need love or you're all shorty.
I need you.
They start to fuck me, nigga, pistol with me while I'm fuck with the dick.
Like a Glorilla and a money bag or something.
Like, they started going.
Like, I'm like, what the fuck?
It's going up.
Pistol with me and choked me, nigger and spit in my face.
When you this, this, all you dick.
I'm not, I own your dick, why you pee?
I'm like, yo, this shit out of control.
Like, this ain't doing it well.
This ain't not, this shit.
I'm like, yo, this is the new, this is the new Bonnie and Clyde.
No, no, no, I'm dead serious.
You know, this ain't.
I can't do that because he's right.
No, I'm right.
It's a better way to describe it.
Just with me, nigga, you took me.
I'm like, you know.
Oh, no.
But that's what they said.
I am confused.
You know the emoji, your head blow?
I'm like, yo, this is crazy.
And then they're sampling my shit.
You turned into that, Kiss.
And they sampling my shit and saying the same shit on my shit.
I'm like, oh, my shit wasn't meant to be that.
You know, listen.
That's a fact.
Man, don't do that to that classic material.
Let me tell you something.
Keith sweated J.
I noticed right now they got something in common.
they got like the same humor.
I said,
and treat Keith shit.
He said, yeah, no problem.
Joe, send it over
because there's people
were trying to front,
but I knew what I got Keith on the phone.
Was it you I was talking to?
He was like, well, you know,
I said, okay, don't worry.
You'll get a phone call.
Fucking Keith Square,
call that motherfucker two minutes.
I'm like, that Joe, crap.
We cleared it.
He said, send me this song, Joe.
I sent it to say, God damn.
You jacked my own fucking song,
you're singing every word of mine, Joe.
This is going to call.
You lost you right here.
I said, yo, sweat, whatever the fuck you want.
You got it, baby.
And because we had the best of the best coming on this show.
That was one of the greatest answers to any question I have asked.
Where you say, yo, the R&B is the foreplay.
You know, you can't.
Everything can be.
He assessed it and described that.
That's perfect.
I was the perfect sweat, man.
Let me tell you something.
But you're my theme song.
man for my life.
That nobody,
that I used to
drive because I was scared to fly.
And you know when you meet your wife
for the first time and you get
that song, we have
everybody dizzy in the
Lexus. We keep playing nobody
10,000 times
from fucking the Bronx
to Miami.
24-hour drive.
Nobody, baby.
Is that the biggest song
you ever put out or you got a bigger one?
They make it less and nobody are the biggest, you know,
maybe Twisted, nobody makes a last.
The Mega Lass album.
Twisted is dead, too.
It ain't my favorite.
All of those shit is forever.
Oh, no.
No, I did the 20th anniversary.
You was there, lean back.
And he could have did whatever.
I said, nah, Keith.
I want him to come out the side and go,
Girl, I've been thinking about him all day.
Oh, that shit great.
The way you started that record, girl, like, how do you get that shit right on time?
They didn't have pro-toos there.
He came in lit.
It was perfect.
They had no pro-toes.
That's just thought, girl.
That shit take off immediately.
Genius is an understatement.
Facts.
Let's not even talk about Keith sweat.
Let's talk about the songs you wrote because people don't really understand all the hit records you've written for everybody.

unselfish to give other artists
smash hit records.
Yeah, I wrote, Freak Me.
Freak me, baby.
Lose control.
When me and you up and down.
Let them stop. Keep, tell them a couple boys.
No, no, but you got to say it and give them a little bar
of it, Keith, because some of these people, they slow.
Speak slow for them.
Talk slow to slow to them, man.
Let me get a couple of them.
Let me lick you up and down to you.

Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what?
We have some big news.
What's the news, 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 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.
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 Ely 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 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.
The story I've told myself about love or relationships can then shape my behavior,
And that can lead me to sabotage the possibility of connection.

Keith Sweat, you're a very shrewd businessman.
I heard some stories about you behind the city.
Is it you or is it?
No, no, it's Key Sweat.
You're a good business man, obviously, if he got you.
But it's Keith Sweat.
Did you go through a lot of bullshit early to learn, you know, to get shit tightened up and...
I think he was smart, day one.
He'd be very stern or you came in.
I went to a little bullshit.
Not everybody.
Not what everybody...
Not raping you records.
Nah, no.
I wouldn't...
Nah, be sure.
Nah, I wouldn't...
I can't throw the flag.
Yo, we had a meeting the other day.
He thought his shit.
He said...
I really went through that.
Jayda Kiss was like,
this feels like all over again.
I said, then, this guy's traumatized.
This guy, 30 years later,
they did some shit to these dudes.
I was like, yo, Jada, calm down.
I thought the real gangsters.
This ain't that and that ain't this.
I thought the real gangsters kill you, rob, you all that.
I never knew they had contract gangsters.
I've never got robbed.
John Gotties of contracts.
Tons of jury, whatever you want to name.
What's that guy? What's his name?
Ain't that nigga pull out of gun on you robbed me.
Dumb suit niggas the accountant?
What's the guy?
The lawyers are robbing now.
That told you what?
Is his name?
Jelly Bean.
Oh, he robbed me like 20 million.
Yeah.
He came to me on the Latino shit.
Yo, we Latino.
I'm going to watch your back, yo.
Sign your publishing.
I'll take care of you.
I've discovered Madonna.
That nigga, raping you records.
He robbed me for like 15 years.
You know how I found out.
I did a soundtrack.
for a movie.
And to me, at the time, it was big money.
I was like, yo, I need $150,000.
You know, I'm on fire.
I'm thinking I'm, you know,
I come for $500 a show.
Right.
I'm getting them for $150.
They said, hold up.
You know, you're publishing.
He wants $3.50.
I said, who, what?
It was like, yeah, Jelly Bean Benitez
want to allow you to be on this soundtrack.
He wants $3.50.
I think I'm robbing him for $150.
That's when I said,
oh, no, we got to find this dude.
Because, you know, he wasn't.
in the same circus.
And it was in Malibu and all that.
We had to catch them outside of the awards show.
It would be like, your brother, the gigs up.
These lawyers know both parties.
So they got their friends over here.
They act like they're your friend over there.
So they put these little things in the contract that, you know,
because they're supposed to have watch your back.
I got two lawyers going after.
I'm going to put it right there.
I'm going to get that ass, though.
Because they slick.
So I just got to, you know, be slick.
So I got to get that.
They robbing me now.
The lawyers, I got some allegedly, I don't know if I can say.
I got some serious.
How about the Knicks?
I got some serious friends who, thank you.
I got some serious friends.
And I don't care if we in dinner or whatever.
He's fucking lawyers.
But I never understood that.
I felt like you do your job.
I pay you this.
Right now, I'm like, these fucking lawyers, like, yo, these lawyers.
So you're going through the same thing I'm going through right now.
They're the biggest crooks I've ever seen in my life.
But, you know, some of them, when they're doing what they're doing,
you know, they can lose their license because they really...
Man, I don't know about that.
Nah, they're going to...
They got to do a lot to lose their life.
What I'm telling you is, like, if you doing things,
knowing you're doing things and you catch them, you know what I'm saying?
it's like, it's like if they're representing both parties, that type of shit.
We caught this one, nigga, 20 times, Keith, he still ain't get five.
Well, let me tell you to, half of the time they represent both parties,
but you don't know they represent both parties, you know what I'm saying?
Because they finagling in the contract where you don't know they represent this party and that party.
So they can't be serving your best interest.
And their job is to serve your best interest, right?
And if you go to the corner and say, they didn't have my best interest at hard,
and they finagle me because they were friends over here and they didn't serve my best interest.
half of the time,
then if you go to the right,
get the right judge
and go to the right place
because a lot of times
they put it in the contract,
we will only settle this
in this state or this whatever.
It ain't powerful.
Right.
So basically what it is,
if you're doing business
in any state,
whether the land or whatever,
if that business is being done
in that particular state,
you can sue in that particular state.
You know, all that shit about,
we got to go to Connecticut,
the settle is all that.
These guys, man,
let me tell you some,
I could tell you guys, 1 million percent.
You need an attorney.
Don't sign no paper without an attorney, but these guys are cool.
Let's just say they get paid well.
They want the bag.
Who is it?
Don't sign the paper without an attorney?
Yeah, I won't sign a paper without an attorney.
Even if you sign an attorney, you better check another attorney.
The attorney attorney.
Attorney for an attorney.
Did you hear BIA?
I got lawyers watching lawyers.
It's the truth.
No, you got to have it.
Because the attorney, half these attorneys are friends with these record companies and whatever.
So they, boy.
So you got to have an attorney, watch the attorney.
You can't have to say, like, you have to have an attorney who don't know this attorney to be.
What's almost like, Julie?
I do now after getting robbed 50,000.
Julius is cruel.
I got a girl.
She's been my attorney maybe 10 years.
And everybody I work with, they're like, yo, you need a bigger time attorney.
you need this.
I said, listen, she's somebody that's for you.
You know you and don't rob and she's smart
and I'm fucking with her.
Right.
And every attorney you know, try to have a meeting with me, Joe.
You know, I'm like, well, I've been through them fast-talking niggas.
I'm good.
Let me stay with my girl.
She watched my back.
She may be a little bit slower than them, meaning like in speed.
But she got your sense.
She's a mother.
Oh, no, she's not playing with it.
But these other guys, you use them for Eddie.
Oh, my.
God, I'm dizzy.
This nigga said,
Happy New Year,
they gave me a bill.
No, if I tell you the,
matter of fact,
when we get off the air,
I'm going to tell you this lawyer bill.
You're going to smoke 40 blunts for me.
You and K going to roll them shit up
and smoke 36 therapy blunts.
You're going to be like,
give me the whole body chronic.
I can't be 55 paying this shit.
I'm supposed to be on my retirement gatherings.
You're supposed to be.
Looking like Gerald Albert.
Look, they're trying to wipe me out.
Look, look.
Look, look.
Look at the least I can do.
They get mad at me.
Like you, you spent too much money on clothes.
I'm saying, fuck you.
I'm working for this fucking money.
I'm going to be fly till I die.
Like, look, yo, Keith, you look fucking amazing.
Thank you, my brother.
And I tell him every time I FaceTime you,
I tell him all the time.
Every time I FaceTime, Keith, he on a fucking machine running 30 miles per out.
You think you work out.
You caught Keith sweat anytime in the...
The nigger, like the incredible...
Holt.
He's gone, bro.
And the fucking him...
He don't jog on the trail.
He ain't walking.
He's gone.
All systems go.
That's why he looked great.
Movement is medicine.
Now, you're tapping in the Afro beats.
What's going on with that?
Yeah, that's the new R&B, babe.
I can feel that.
I feel the new...
Because, you know, the R&B had changed so much.
I just wanted something that made you feel good.
That made you, you know,
because Afrobeat got that.
Yeah, it got that whole vibe, you know,
no matter where you were out the country.
You're like, oh, shit, that's it.
It feels like, don't scurl.
Don't stop me love.
So that whole Afrobeat thing got a whole vibe to it.
So that's what made me tap into that
because, you know, I always love Afrobeat.
I always love it.
But the music is central.
It's sexy, central, and, you know, it just says all the right now.
So that's what I tap into it.
I always love this.
So it just feels like it should be me.
Me too.
You know, Africa is so big.
I always knew that shit was going to blow on another level when I'm out there.
I thought you was about to say,
Apple Beach started in the Bronx.
We might have...
Hold up.
No, hold up.
No, hold up.
No, don't co-sign that shit.
Listen.
We might.
Let me say something.
We might have more Africans.
Definitely.
In the fucking Bronx.
Then Africa.
Then Africa.
I wouldn't say Africa.
But the Bronx is African-Mania.
We got Africans all over in the Bronx.
I'm not saying African-American straight.
People from Ghana got bone from fucking Zamonga.
They're in that motherfucker in the Bronx.
There are no more Puerto Ricans in the Bronx.
It's all in that.
It's Africa.
You know how we like tours, right?
Mm-hmm.
He got the R&B lovers' tour coming.
You know how are we like going?
Look who he got.
Look who's on the bill.
Joe, Drew Hill, Genia, Y, cut close.
Cut close.
That's great.
You really.
Get up.
You wrote that shit, huh?
Get up on it.
That's one of the greatest.
That's classic.
Yo, cut close.
All right.
This is what I was asking before the man detoured me, right?
To help you get to this question.
A D told me to Africa, man.
Let me tell you something.
Creating music is something you got to be born with.
How did you know the woman to put on the duets with you?
Like, they're just as good as you, bro.
What was the name, Athena?
Athena Cage.
Jesus.
Let's give it up for Athena Cage.
Yo, man, like, how do you pick?
Because all these girls singing back to you, it was just perfection.
Every one.
Have you cut clothes?
Perfection.
Everything when you come in, I like the way you had.
You thought they'd kill that shit.
You come real freaking baby.
But how do you pick the perfect people that are?
Like going to the studio listening to them saying,
seeing if I say sing this,
saying if they can follow my lead on stuff.
Because, you know, like, if you can't,
if you're having a hard time riffing on some shit
that I'm giving you, like, you ain't the one.
But if you get, ooh, when I heard her wrist was so like,
oh, my God, so incredible that I'm like,
okay, I can write anything for this girl.
You know what I mean?
Yes.
So when I came up with, if you really, really want it,
and she said, I like it when you,
You know what I'm saying?
So she made me want to sing it like that.
Like a girl in a week.
So she made me want to sing it like that.
You know what I'm saying?
Oh, freaky baby.
No.
What's talking that shit?
I step on stage.
Girl screamed like I'm Keith.
You ever mentioned how many fucking hip-hop records?
Your man, Dr.
I'm a light-skinned key sweat.
How many rappers do you?
How many rappers don't mention Keith Sweat and their songs and all that?
And how you feel about that when you hear the record and they talk in that Keith Sweat shit?
I mean, it's like it just showed me the generations that I've touched.
You know, like when I was talking to somebody, they were telling them, I don't touch the mamas.
No, no, I'm going to tell you something.
The daughters, the little kids, the little kids.
Wait, I'm going to tell you something.
Because I watch everything you do.
You popped out in a plies show where the oldest person was 20.
25.
And they sung every fucking word.
Even Fat Joe, your number one fan wouldn't be able to bet.
If we had to do hard rock bets, there's no way I would have said.
Every 23 year old would know every single key sweat.
It's impossible.
The whole stadium starts singing every fucking word.
Like, that got to feel amazing, bro.
Yeah, that shit was crazy because when I went on the stage,
I was supposed to hit, sing, no,
too. I was supposed to be a special guest
and come on and say, make it last forever
and nobody. But when I got there,
Ply, I said, yo, I already do
right in the wrong way.
Right in the wrong way.
So I think I was supposed to come on
before Ply's. And he said,
nah, you need to come on with me.
So he does writing the wrong way
at the end of the song. So he said,
yo, this could not be no better
situation. So when he started
writing the wrong way, I came out.
You know what I'm saying?
And that's when they went crazy.
Then I was winning to make it last, right?
And I knew this was the millennial tour,
and I was supposed to go into nobody.
They said, no, no, no, we can't let him do nobody
because if he do nobody, they won't be no more show.
Yeah.
So they made me stop.
You be careful who you brought out on your fucking little show.
Because they will kill that, they will body that bitch.
You bring the wrong guy out?
I told a story.
I'll tell her to get fucking.
You know, somebody
Nah, because it's
legendary. You know, one of my
favorites also is Elder Barge. I'm trying to
have been to my birthday, maybe 10 years
in a row. One year I had him. We had
private playing for him, everything. Swiss.
Beat was going to drive him up.
Motherfucking ain't show up.
You know, the barge, he gets missing.
So one day, I'm doing
the show with Dave Chappelle. You was
with me that day, rest of peace, Clark Kent.
Yo, a man
hit me out of the clear blue sky.
I said, yo, I'm in town.
I said, pull up the Madison Square Garden.
Let's throw him.
Come up and I got him.
He was, ooh, and I like the whole garden was singing that shit.
That shit, you be careful who you bring on stage
because they'll rip that shit down, legendary on you.
But yeah, that's what happened.
You know, Keith Swant, I'm going to tell a story.
I don't know if it's private and we'll cut it, right?
But he gets scared when I say some shit.
But I remember it was COVID
and somebody canceled
a show. I don't know if it was
Essence Fest or some festival
shit. And I happened to
be with you when you started
politic and that money, you was like,
I know you got the PPP, nigger.
I know you did. I was like,
yo, you think you know numbers?
I was dizzy with Kee.
Hold up, Joe.
Yeah, you got that PPP loan.
Homeboy was going to charge you
this and this and that.
This is last minute.
I don't know if I feel like going out there.
You know this man, you caught these dudes for so much money out there.
Where was it?
It had to be New Orleans.
She jazz flustered some shit.
Yo, I heard you.
I said, yo, I never seen nobody negotiate like that.
Like, you were a hell of a fucking negotiation.
Yeah, I mean, because I...
Well, you know your worth.
And I know numbers.
I'm like, yo, yo, yo, I know you got that PPP's on.
Nah, I was there.
And I said, I know you got it.
I know what you got.
You know what I'm saying?
It's public knowledge.
You knew what he got to.
I was standing.
You was like, yo, I know what you got on the PPP loan.
You got to spend that.
Otherwise it's illegal.
I know what you was given.
Who was it?
Frankie Beverly.
Somebody was supposed to do that shit.
Yeah, because, you know, because all that's easy.
Because a lot of people don't know all that is public knowledge.
So you can go and see what everybody got.
You know what I'm saying?
So if you don't know that, you're not going to go and look and see what everybody got.
So I know what you got.
It's not.
tax the dustable, you ain't got to pay
give up no tax. You know, so
spend that money.
That was the coldest shit.
That was the coldest shit I ever seen
about life. Business
negotiations, yo, kiss. This guy... He told the
promoter that? Yes.
He's showing the promoter, yo, you got
one point something... Not 10 million.
You got 10 million PPP. You got to spend
that shit or you go to jail, my brother.
This is Keith Sweat telling him.
So Frankie Beverly got sick of
something last minute.
Two days to the show, they want KeySquette.
Key Squet start telling him.
You got this to PPP, you paid this for the venue.
I know Frankie Beverly, I do the shows with him.
He ain't moving without $4.50 or $4.
He was breaking this shit.
Had his whole shit down.
What?
Scientifically.
I'm like sitting there like, yo, I ain't know people could do it.
He got him, too.
Keith got him.
That's when I knew.
I said, I always knew you was a smart businessman.
But that's when I said,
Oh, no. This guy here, God forbid you negotiate with Keith. You're not beating Keith Sweat.
Not in the negotiation. It's impossible. When is the, for R&B Lovers, it starts in February.
The first year of February 13th. Oh, right before Valentine's. I think, yeah, I believe it's February 13th.
But for those that want to know, you can go to keep sweat.com. You know what I'm saying, buy my bags, my candles.

Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers, and guess what?
We have some big 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.
Oh, 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,

Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.
Here's something that should not be as complicated as 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.

I shot a movie with him and all, like Twin Pillars.
Yeah, we're doing a episode.
Darren Henson, Nicole Murphy, myself.
Fad Joe Kane now did his thing in it, you know what I'm saying?
So, you know.
Darren from the Bronx, too.
You can't dispute that.
He grew up with Raul or Melrose.
So, you know, we got...
If he said he ain't from the Bronx, he's full of shit.
I'm telling you, he's from the Bronx.
Yeah, Darren, then he don't say he's not from the Bronx.
He's from the Bronx.
Yeah, because he was on that dance, you know.
He's doing it.
Braigants.
What's the thing?
dance for the angie.
Hey, let me explain
something to you, Chief Wright. You never
been into drugs and nothing
like that, right? That's not.
I'm not calling weed drugs,
right? Weed is like a cigarette.
Wait, go, let me. No, I'm telling.
No, the point is
the reason why he's still rich and get
all that money is because he's not on drugs
and he don't take drugs. I'm trying to
tell you that every time we see a legend
like him look great.
Liv, I went to his house.
This shit on the water, big-ass estate, this, this, that.
Same thing when I watch Eddie Murphy in his fucking documentary.
It's start in a $90 million house, B.
That shit comes.
I knew he ain't used drugs.
That motherfucker was like, now, right?
I ain't never smoke a cigarette.
And every time our legends are well kept and they look amazing,
it's because they didn't fuck with the drugs.
The drugs are true.
Hard drugs.
I'm not talking about.
That he was smoking the joint doing the dog of men.
He was in.
He said they were saying wild-so-pane.
He didn't start smoking the joint till he turned grown and already mad rich.
I understand that.
Some people smoke the joint when they owe to go to sleep.
And no, me, I run for naked.
You know, for the leg.
The one time I ran out the house.
It was joking.
No bullshit.
No leg pain.
What did you say you smoked weed and ran out of the house but naked?
Smoke weed one time.
It wasn't wheat.
It was weak.
The girl gassed me.
That was Frankie, baby.
The sex's going to be incredible.
That was it weeded up, Frankie, baby.
That dick said I smoked the old dirty bastard.
Whoa.
Well, she gasped me.
The sex's going to be great.
This, this, dad.
I smoked that shit.
I ran out that creed butt-ass naked.
Like three in the morning, thank God.
I was like, kids in a heart attack.
I got to go to Austin.
She gasped me.
Joe, we just get in the car.
Don't worry, I'll take you.
Getting in the car.
She went around the block.
I took like eight showers.
I ain't never do that shit again.
And I'm in the studio with a DEA can knock us, nigger.
The mickers got mountains of weed in the middle.
Everybody smoked.
Every night I drove home from the studio, I swore I was going to go to jail for just secondhand smoke.
I smell like Jada kiss.
And I don't even smoke.
Every night I'm going home, I smell like weed, baby.
Hell yeah.
I'm a casual smoker.
If you could
O.D. Let me tell you, you can't smoke in this building.
Shut out the Rock Nation.
Somehow he found the loophole.
He got a window about it.
Somewhere this guy can smoke in this fucking place.
Right? He'd go. He comes back.
I see, damn, man.
Then they're on the hubonic, chronic.
You can't even speak too loud in this fucking building.
And I know the difference, too.
I don't get high.
like that, but I know how to observe.
I know when they gave him the pure
or he's just fun with it.
Like, sometimes they give him that shit.
He's stuck.
I'm like, right, I got to say everything.
Oh, look, Jay to shake.
Look, Jay to shake.
He's a fucking in like this.
Oh, no, hold you.
Joe.
God forbid what you thinking.
Joe, yo, yeah, yeah.
You're talking to you.
You probably poacher guy stout.
You and that shit like, yo.

Yo, that shit crazy.
But, yo.
Your foot is full of the foot.
It's the foot.
It's the biggest.
But hold on the thing.
It's the meeting foot.
All right.

If the deals are going to go through or not.
You know how you can do with these officers?
Man, let me tell you something, Sprat.
We put our foot in their ass.

You talk to our people.
They don't send me the list.

I'm not.
Let me tell you something, Keith.
No, I ain't involved in the list.
I don't give a fuck what he said.
He want to be humble.
I am not.
The one thing I learned from Kanye West

This ain't regular shit.
They nerds, they flabby and sick.
The motherfucker looking like bitch Blood Green out.
He's going crazy.
I don't see the list.
You know I know bitch Blood Green.
They know me and you was good,

Hold on. Hold on.
I'm prematurely speaking.
When's your, what year was your first hit?
88.
How to fucking feel the drop a hit at 88 and 2026 drop another hit?
Now how hard it is to do that.
That's a smash hit.
There's nothing they could do with that.
Who's the girl that was singing at the end?
Being maddy.
She's from Nigeria.
She ain't fucking playing.

He's top five little alive.
I tell you that every time somebody come up on here and start talking about that
R&B shit, I went on Tank Show all of me.
Everywhere I go, they bring it up.
He's like, Joe, who's your top five on B?
You're always there.
Thank you, man.
I'm always there.
You always there.
I'm like, yo, you see, it's nothing.
I am surprised.
because that is a super smash year in 2026,
but at the same time,
I'm never surprised when it comes to real hitmakers.
If Nellie came out tomorrow with the biggest record on earth,
I would say, okay, 50 cent come out tomorrow with a new ghost shorthy right now.
I'd be like, that's what they do.
That's what Keith Sweat do.
Unfortunately, we take you for granted because that's what you do.
You knock them out the park all the time.
I see the bag coming out again.
That bag coming back out on that tour.
That's all I seen with, the first four bars.
A hundred million went by.
That motherfucker searching.
Yo, Keith, one question I got for you.
Yes, sir.
It's legendary.
You knew I had the time to go out to Atlanta.
What made you say, I'm going to Atlanta before everybody.
You there before anything happened out there.
Right.
At that time, I'm going to Atlanta.
have been woods, dicks.
Yeah, it just woods and everything.
Well, you know, basically it was more so a move that I made for my mom because, you know,
I wanted to really take care of her.
And, you know, for the houses that I would have bought in New York, it was like, it wasn't
big enough I felt for her.
So I moved to Atlanta, basically, because I wanted to give her the biggest house or the
biggest situation she ever had.
So I got bought a house on two acres of land.
Now, Alpharetta, I just happened to luck up and get it, go to Alpharetta back in the day
because Alpharetta was nothing.
Now, Alpharetta is the biggest thing in Atlanta.
So I ended up being the operator, you know, and I...
He was there ahead of time.
I always admired that about you because...
Yeah, so, I mean, I was able to build everything
because, you know, when I went out there,
I was one of the first person to put an SSL board in my house,
54-channel input, you know what I'm saying?
So after the second hour, I put the SSL board in my house,
and that's where I did the Silk album, my album,
all my album, LSD.
Every hour of my did, that's why I got all my masters on my reels in my garage.
You saw my thing in the garage.
There's nothing but the freak me, the I give all my loves of you, all that.
You know, because I didn't know on my board, SSL board in my house.
You know what's crazy is, you know, we got it.
Come on.
That's Gene.
Yo, man, shout out Johnny Gill, man.
He came to see me.
I was in LA.
He hit me out.
He was like, yo, I heard you are here where you at.
I'm at the Waldorf's story.
the man pull up and the Rose Royce
Oh, take it down.
And you don't understand.
Like me, I've never been a hater in my life.
I always love inspiration.
I want my legends to look incredible, man.
When that man pulled up in that double all with that shit,
I said, thank God.
This guy's doing great.
I love it.
What color was it?
I think it was like gray or green or something.
Who gave a fuck?
We're sitting in the lobby.
No, I was reading that.
As because of him, he came to my house
and said, man, I'm going to give me one.
Oh, he did it.
Yo, he did it.
He did it.
He pulled up on me with that shit.
And they get in my house.
He said, I was going to give me one now.
Fucking right.
Fucking right.
That's my doing, though.
That man, that man pull up.
I said, yo, he made me so happy.
I said, because I love it looking at my,
my legends and my icons,
my idols looking good and living good.
Good. You know, Mary J, my sister, you know what I'm saying?
Love it.
So she told her we need to do an album together.
Keith Swift would all good.
Tell her I need her to do, make it last breath with me, get up on it with me, all my female.
Classic.
Classics.
Me and her.
Oh, my God.
Then you do Keith, Keith, Sweat and Mary to her.
Shit.
Let me ask you a question.
Did you ever do a Christmas album?
You did a Christmas album?
Yeah, I did it.
I did it, but, you know, I just did some videos on it recently.

I started putting songs out there.
Man, that Christmas time,
I had that soulful Christmas, man.
They had all that young Jackson 5 shit

Most people around here help out friends and family when they need it.
