Your 20s can be so exciting, but they can also be really overwhelming, confusing, and honestly, just kind of lonely. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the psychology of your 20s is breaking down the science behind the biggest roadblocks we face. I was six years into my career, the 80-hour weeks, and just the first one in, the last one out, and I ended up burning out. There was a large chunk of my 20s that I, like, was just so wanting to, like, be out of that phase out of my skin. And I just really regret not living in the present more. You don't need to have everything figured out right now.

You just need to understand yourself a little bit better. Listen to the psychology of your 20s on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Lorenz's brother from Columbia, Lucito, my brother, he don't speak much English, but he know Mary, but he don't really know Mary because he's into reggae tone and all that shit. So when he asks me, I said, well, she's the English Mark Anthony. That's the best way to describe it because Mark Anthony Legend, he sell out Madison Square Garden right now. He'll be like, tonight's show sold out. Like, that's how Mary is.

So I'm trying to explain them, you know, Mark Anthony all the year's number one hits. That's who she is in English. But Mark Anthony got a residency out there too So we all just Oh, nice Wow You're not famous Dickwoods or the wins Seas or the win

We like, this disrespect. Up to the knees. I want these guys to hurry up and quit. Up to the niece. I want these guys to quit already. Like, everybody in podcast, saying, give it up. Go to fucking time. We don't go retire.

This shit different right here. There's that real shit right here. You see the Louis. You see the Louis. You see the Fendi Furb. We're shitting on it. And we ain't even cashed one bag in yet. This is rap money.

That's a fact. Yo, sis, you love his shit, man. And let me tell you something. I remember Patty LaBelle told me, because you know my favorite singer of all time is Luther. You knew Luther and all that? No, not really. I met him once brief, but I didn't know him.

No. Yeah, I'm with it. That's crazy. You know, he's from five blocks away from me. Here we go. Today's Y.O. My brother. Today's a WIO.

No, I'm with you. Today's Y. Yeah, that's it piece of loose. Who's the old school lady from Y-O, the first one that popped off? Oh, Fonda Ray, man. Fonda Ray. Yeah, man, Fonda Ray. That's that shit, too.

WIO, baby. Y-O. Bury. I was talking to him about her one day. He was like, yeah, I see at the supermarket all the time. Like, she's really from Yonkers. Yeah, she lives in seven pines now. That's it. She's very good.

You sung, rest of peace, Andre Harell. Right? You sung to him. him Anita Baker. So, go ahead. Let me tell you this story. It's okay. You remember the gallery in White Plains, right?

Remember they, it was a big thing about them getting a karaoke machine. Yeah, they heard about it. So we went to the mall and I recorded, which was my favorite song at the moment, was caught up in the rapture. And I recorded, caught up in the rapture. And I bought the tape home of my mother's boyfriend, who was my stepfather. We called him my stepfather. He worked at General Motors with Jeff Red and Malvern.

And Jeff Red was already on. He had you called and told me. Jeff Red gave the tape to Andre Horel. Andre came to Slobomb and came up to my house. All right. I sang the whole Anita Baker Raftcha album because that was my album at the time. Rest is history. He's here.

You know what's crazy, man? Shout out. I don't want to disrespect. But shout out my best friend ever in life. He dead long time, Tom Montana. But he was one of them fly LL Koojay type. He had every girl you wanted from Harlem in the Bronx. But he had this chubby girl.

And I used to be like, yo, tone. Because he had, no, no, I'm fat. I'm fat Joe. But he had this girl that didn't fit his normal profile. So we over there sitting in the house and all that Washington projects. I'm like, yo, my man, what's up? He was like, she sang them.

She used to sing Anita Baker to Tovon. He was sitting in his lap. And she was like, caught up in, look how she sing, yeah, she's sing to me, that's what I sing, because that's what she sang. Yeah, caught up in the rapture was

every hood girl's. You know, we were all wanting to be in love, and somebody to love us. And that song just made us melt. It made us think about, you know, the man we wanted, not to get all mushy,

but, you know, I'm a chick. You had that conversation with Anita Baker. I know, I see how this, if you performed it with her, but you actually told her, you know, like he said, the demo, right? Yeah.

You don't sing Anita Baker. We don't hear Mary J. Blige as we know. That's right. Right. Well, it wasn't caught up in the rapture that put me on to Anita Baker. It was angels. You're my angels. That's what maybe, like, oh.

That's what they're in the Nina Baker. Yes. Angels that shit. Yes. Then I fell in love with Anita Bacon, saying her songs, you know. Then I eventually led it. Doing all the stuff she did that led up to do,

you remind me. When you remind me came out, it was like everybody got hit the honor roll in Y. It was like we couldn't hear nothing. We were still there, so we were going to like parties and slow behind my eyes, Shirley's running.

It was like a hundred times in the row. The basement of the thing here. They're playing back for hours, though. Buff Daddy with the drums? So. The first first. I know, but the drums, the drums. Who put the drums?

That was Dave Hall. That's the piece that they won. He did the Bismar Fismar. That's what you remind me is the song. Oh, you took the drums of the Bismar and that I sang over. And he did this keys over the drums. And it was a strictly business soundtrack. Remember that we strictly business sounds like.

So Andre didn't know what to do with me because he was looking at me like, okay, she's no Whitney Houston. She's not going to wear a gown. She looks like a little tomboy, right? So I was shelved kind of. But it was strictly business, the strictly business soundtrack where you remind me, Red Alert pulled the song off, put it in the mixed show, all the DJs ran with it. And then they introduced me to Huff, who was like, oh, I know exactly what to do with her.

And Jodicey was already out. And he was like, she's going to be a female Jodicey. And for the hat turn backwards, give us some tough lines. You know, because I ain't going to lie. I hear them germs anywhere. I go out to see the post daddy dance. I knew that Diddy Bob was with them drums. Like when I, you know, music is music.

It's like a fucking, you know, it takes you right to. Yeah, nothing. I know about hip-hop. He just had a say. He didn't have one thing to do with the drum. No, but he, Dave all produced. What she's saying, man, them drums remind me of that Diddy Bob. That, you know, that shit right there.

Like, you know, me and how we battle the Wop in the crib. I'm not lying. I don't even know why you... Motherfaker. A challenge her. I don't even know why you got the gumption that you can't... That's one thing we ain't got to convince you much of. If the right music come on,

you fucking dancing your ass off in the door to the kitchen. Because we got to convince you for everything. But that shit like that? That shit, it's a whole thing. Where we went... What we went to see, Chris Brown? Yeah, God, we all went to see... We walked through the concert and all that shit.

I knew that Mary Jake Bloss don't do shit. So she's walking. We got to walk through the shit. I become her security. When I'm with her, I'm security. I am not the number one object. It's like all I, like I will fuck 20 niggas up for her. Like I got to like, I got to turn it to Joey from the Bronx with him with us.

I mean, you know, we had a beautiful time. But I kept fighting with Ralph McDaniels because he had footage of you when you was like 18 to 19. I think it was in Mount Vernon. It was one of your first shows. And I asked Ralph, I asked Uncle Ralph, I see, your Ralph, man. Like, he said, bro, I knew. The second I saw her rocked, he was like, that shit turned upside down. He was like, oh, she's going.

You know, many, you know, the women at your show, they hate men. They hate men. That's a flat. Charlie, that's how I don't think they hate men. I think they just tie to being hurt. they don't know how to process like none of us knew how to process what we were going through

with men back in the days. So I don't think they hate them. They just don't know how to, you know, process the hurt that they're going through with men or how to even love themselves out of it, you know? I don't think it's hate for you. I think it's hate for the fact that they don't know what to do with this feeling.

You get what I'm saying? I reach up I go to your show and say like I'm getting sad. bunch of women and one venue with the same feelings. Listen. I've been going to her concerts with my wife for 30 years. And she go, I don't know if you know, she'd be snagged. Joe, my brother Joe, here, my sister, Joe.

They do the right thing. I'm like, what the fuck? Chicks from upper deck to store and glissies at me and shit. I'm like, oh, my God, I come over here to get cursed the fuck out. Joe, I'm like, yo, they like, you got to be a strong. man to take your girl there and stand and then, I'm going down. You feel like they cut everybody.

I'm going down. It's a decent way of cursing to every guy out in the universe. And you sitting in there like, yo, Mary, I love your shit, but why they got to curse me out, like what I'm doing wrong. But that empowerment, you know, and it's sad because so many years,

me watching you, it's fucked up. But they say, yo, Mary, you know, she got to be going through some shit so we could get the best work from her, like, you know, them painful records. And it's fucked up because your biggest songs come from your personal experiences and heartbreaks. And tell us about that.

When you fucking crush, that's when you do your best shit. I used to think that was the situation. But I think that just like the fans, they can only relate to you from where they are. So I was where I was. So I was sad. I was suicidal. I was trying over some big all the time.

That was very relatable to a lot of the... Exactly. And so I was honestly just given where I was at. So when I sang just fine, I wasn't, you know, just fine. I wanted to be just fine. I wanted to be happy. If you look at my life,

I want you to see what I'm living, what I'm going. Look at my life. They can look at my life. So it's just about being relatable and just letting people see where I was, you know, honestly, through my music.

And I still do the same thing. And I can't please everybody. Oh, I want Mary to be sad again. You know, Hope said the best. You want my old music or buy my old album. You know, because I can't stay miserable for you guys. But I understand. I totally get it.

So where I am right now, you'll get where I'm at right now. But I'm not saying, oh, you know, the hell with the girls that's brokenhearted. Absolutely not. But I can't get what you in certain places. anymore. You understand? I'm saying without...

I came out of Dr. Rock yesterday. I get no more knee fucked up, so I get to therapy. I called you with Dr. Rob. I'm trying to plug me. He called me. The hospital name after Dr. Rock, by the way,

the fucking building says, I'm taking you to the Dr. Dre a fucking knee and foot doctors. Like, I'm right, but I'm there, and I come outside and there's this Cuban dude and he's always so happy.

Right? Dark-skinned Cuban dude. Oh, Fat, you know, I'm asking. Yesterday, he was crying. He said, my wife, leave me for some guy in Atlanta. Take my two daughters. No, this real shit.

And he wants Fat Joe to really therapy him. Like, you know, I'm trying to, my wife waiting in the car. I'm trying to get up out of there. He's like, Fatt. So I got to sit down with this man. Thank God he got the other security and work with him. He was like, yo, Joe, I'm sure. I said, by the way, this guy's fly, too.

no pause, whatever you want to say, he ain't no ugly dude, he's fly. And he works hard. He said, I work 14 hours a day. Not, God. The point is I'm trying to make his day. What did you tell him? I'm telling him I had a friend.

I don't know. I got to talk him off the ledge. Right? Give us a quick question. I have a friend that they call me one day and said he's killing himself. His wife cheated on him. And so, Joe, please come over here. Right?

So I go over there. Yo, my man, you the man, you know, I'm doing whatever I can. You the man, this and this and that. Long story short, he was crying. He's a, you know, tough guy, this and this and that. I see him a year later, and the man run up to me. Yo, Joe, you won't believe it. I have a new wife.

Beautiful Dominican. She's a pastor. She doesn't want to go out. He shows me pictures beautiful. This guy was going to kill himself. the year before. So I'm telling them I know heartbreak no matter male or female

is fucking devastating. You could be a man and be crying like that man was crying in the middle of his job yesterday. I had to take some time out to talk to him and try to talk him off the ledge. But that's what your music does for women, men, everybody.

Yeah, I was talking to, this was a long time ago. I was talking to a guy and he was like, do you know what's one of my favorite songs? I'm talking about like a drug dealer, like,

you know, one of those. One of those. He was like, you know what one of my favorite Mary T. Blatt song is? I thought he was going to be like, every day it rains and shit like that. He was like, I'm going down. I was like,

wow. Yes. And so in these concerts, there's men singing the song. Like I'm talking about men, men, men, singing the songs, drug dealers. I mean,

construction work is what type of... Yeah, and they said it helped them through... I'm going down, helped them to stay on the corner and sell the drugs that they were selling. And that's no... I was like, what?

I didn't understand it, but after you're giving that story just now... Everybody goes... I guess everybody... Shit. Today's show is brought to you by presenting sponsor Hard Rock Bet. We've been rolling with the Hard Rock

We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a podcast. 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 the 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 Smigel 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 Headwriters. or street or sidel 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 smigle and friends on the i heart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts what's up famis is Isaiah thomas and i'm cj toledano and our podcast point game is about defining the odds like lebron heading into the playoffs without lucca 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 Richard We dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash will get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers

while he got the ball. Like, after you go through a training camp with that, I said, you figure it out real quick. Oh, yeah. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts.

and they put us on to the stuff that they didn't even play on the radio. They put us on to the shit that People would be like, how you know that? Like, if you were a legendary DJ from Yonkers, I'm talking about he ain't got to be big time or none, but somebody who was rocking them jams.

It wasn't. Shut off Supreme and Hots. People was coming from out of town to play in DJ shows in at school 12. I mean, it used to be like, you had like beat master jean. Beat master. You had Rick and them, those guys. They were from Warburton from Yonkers.

Like, I'm telling you, you got to remember, you know, to me, Supreme and Hutch. Supreme and Hutz put me on, we had the best block parties. And Supreme Huss, their mother was called Mother Earth.

And Mother Earth was sitting behind the ropes, and they would like, back up from the ropes. Mother Earth, they'll stop the fucking music for an hour talking about back up.

Yep. Wheels was on a big deal. And then we all got old enough to run to Harlem and all these other places we was running to. There was the Red Zone. There was the Octagon. the tunnel, the Red Parrot. I was too young for the Red Parrot, but I heard.

Me too. I heard a lot of, but I was in the Red Zone. I was in the tunnel. I was in the Octagon. And somewhere else, remember the Spy? Just the Spy Club, the Spy Club. The Spy was it called the Spy Club? But anyway.

I remember the one. What was that? Club USA? They built the club. They spent so many millions. That's the night I seen Biggie. He came up to me, pulled out the gun in the sheet. He said, you seen DJ Clue? I said, I ain't see it.

He just kept going. I just saw a clue. I just saw a clue. He had the hammer in his shit. He had a vest. He was like, yo, you're crack. You're seeing Clue. I said, no, I see him.

Clue just walked by. He saved his life. What? Legend. It was mixtapes, too. So I got put on to the Jungle Brothers through a mixed kid.

Straight out the Jungle. That's one of my... What are my favorite... Like, I know every word-for-word You're a jungle brother. Chew Blue Brother. I was selling drugs to the Jungle Brothers. Like, I'm in the corner,

and we almost fought. Oh, shit. So I'll let him go. I let him run along. Run along. You know, I'm listening to the radio. It's your birthday. So I don't know if you know

because you was out here moving, working and promoting the residency. But I heard Smith and Wesson on the radio and they told that story how that eyes shine, you shine, came about and they said they was in the club

I guess you Puff they invited them back to the studio and they said they jumped on the joint and that's what they said on the radio. You remember that? Well, I don't remember being in the studio with Smith & Wesson. I don't remember that

but I do remember Puff bringing it back to me with them on it and they was one of my favorites at the time and when I heard them on it, I just, I went crazy. I was like, we go on. That's just class. We are. You know, that was it.

Right here now, I know everybody's going to be watching. I said it earlier to myself, Bucks shot shorty goat. Here, goat. Yeah. Bok shot shorty duck down. Bok shot shoddy a goat. By far.

Yeah. Like, I'm ready to put him as a goat. Like, one of the greatest of all time. And I don't think we ever talk about them like that. But the shit, man. Let's have to be. I listen to that and it still goes in my fucking blood when the, When they just

I'm floes And the other ones Come Something, something Come follow me Something Something, something Down the Ritlems

Mm-mm Mm-hmm Mm-hmm We got to pull That Fendi fur down I see them rock All in them Joey fur down

Oh that's for their eyes Mary threatened me Right That's crazy We at her birthday party, and I pull up, and she's like, you better come with that shit on when I come because I'm coming. And I said, damn, I rethought the whole shit. I still went in the closet really calculated this.

I said, man, I got to come with some Fendi first, some other, because she come through. You never dress whack. If you come to my house from the supermarket from anywhere, you fresh to guess. That that shit on. Even in the hot, like on a regular day. If you come on a regular, regular of all days, you got that shit on.

What is fashion to you? And I know why I brought up Luther Vangeloop, but before you answer that, I'm going to tell you why. Patty LaBelle told me, Luther Vangorz had a closet with couches and TV in there. And if you go visit him in his house, he put you in the closet. It starts showing,

Yo, this that Scapaparelli. Yo, this that one of one Balmain. This that I think, for all my years of following Mary Jay, like your closet got to be fucking ridiculous. It's insane. And I can't even find half of the stuff

that I wore through the years. Like, it's just, and it's still crazy. I wish I could find all of that stuff that I was wearing. What do you mean? Like, the stolen missing or? No, a nigger stole money. Mom? Oh, yeah.

Do you still got the Army coat from Flojo? No, but I got an Army coat. I almost wore that shit just on the regular just outside the day. Now I got motherfucking Laura Piana Army coats. 9,000 to the jack. But get ahead, ma'am. Well, when you move. They stole your shit.

No, when you're doing it. Was it burned down in a chimney fire? Nah. A lot of it probably is stolen because, like, I don't know where it was sad. But when you're moving, you just, things just get lost in everywhere. And then, you know, I gave a lot of stuff away. Like, here, just take it.

And, you know, I wish I didn't. But that's what happened. That's crazy because the renter gave man shit away that now's the style. Now we bond it again because as he liked the shit. This is the vintage. She was like, I had that in every color. I gave it out. This, this, that.

Everything coming back. Everything. The residency, you're doing it different. You're going to have actors. In theater. Yeah. It's called My Life, My Life Story. So I'm definitely going to use some actors and actresses to tell the story.

You know, you're going to be like a bunch of acting. It's going to be a Mary J. Blige's show with little bits of like things involved to pull on your memory from interviews that I've done. You'd be like, oh, wow, I don't know she said that. And, you know, I mean, she said this was that. So it'll be besides, like, songs that, like, there's a lot of songs I never, we perform. So the B size that we're picking, oh, my God. No, we want that. Like, that was the number one question. I went around and hustled, ear hustle, a couple of women, and I was like, what should

I ask Mary? Because, you know, we would, well, thank God, I'm blessed to be with Mary J. Blige all the time. And let me tell you something, I don't take you for granted. I know you the queen. You run shit. I asked a couple of people, and they always like, is she going to do the songs we never see her perform at the residency. Wait today hear what I'm doing. Buy a ticket. And you, you know, you. But you're not going to be coming for the normal things.

We got, so do you want to tell a story? Yeah. What they hear about that, can't get you off my mind, how we had that message first. You and style, I was on the record that Brodney did. Can't get you. We had that. We had that first. It's a fact.

We had that first. That's a fact. And Ronnie just told the story, so I'm going to tell it again. The record was a monster before we even got it out. Smash. They killed it. Everybody was excited. And it was the message.

Rodney's mixing the record or something like that. Before Rodney, he said, when he said he was going to mix the record at, he said that some people was coming. I want to say what it is. I said, don't play it for him. He played it for him. Two weeks later. Jack. The whole sample gone.

Yeah. I just told you about the shit off the air. That's the game. That's why I don't tell nobody nothing. I keep everything to myself. So, anyway. I just told him one of our best friends on Earth. I never told the shit publicly.

I played him a record. Two weeks later, we had an identical twin floating in the air. And I was like, Jesus Christ. I come to this day, is one of my best friends. I never even had the courage to tell him, yo, you know you Jack, my yala. You know what I'm saying?

I play him a record. You know, this is the game, huh? You got something hot, and it's still a game. If you got something hot, don't tell nobody. Keep it done. Don't tell them nothing, man. Oh, that's slice down. I think Calid taught me that.

Like, I'd be next to Calut, and he don't tell me nothing. Next day I look at TV as a Colgate commercial. I'm like, damn, this motherfucker don't even let me know with a bag out or nothing. I'm like, but you got to protect. your blessings. You got to protect, you know, where you're going

because these people move on your shit. It was a lot of people got upset that we got the Netflix deal and we didn't tell nobody what we was doing. And so when they saw it, they was like, oh, shit. Like, yo, y'all could have gave us a heads up. How about nobody feeds us and nobody pay our bills,

so we got to do what we got to do. We got to protect our blessings. I understand what you said. You can't play shit for nobody. Not even the best. I'm talking about our best friend, almost the most loyalist dude I know in the world. He heard my shit.

He went back, yo, look what I did. I was like, foul play. Out of all the success, you got, all the accolades, this, that this,

as he said, I stole this, this that this. You got to have the most in history of your music played in the house while the house is getting clean. I'll put you against any other artists on the planet. Really not for Chaka Khan?

You want to get a good outscreening? Do you think they play you more than a door on it? I will surprise. Oh, my aunt and moms would play that shit to the fucking shit. The shit was like, the shit was melting. Bro, we live on the fifth floor. We're in front of the building playing. We hit them.

For 10 hours straight, I will survive. No, no, no. I don't even know what the shit mean. I'm a little kid. I don't even know what the fuck they're singing about. And that candy staten. Oh, I'm a victim. My mother played the hell out of a record.

And I didn't know why until I got older. I mean, the lyrics is, whew, well, for women. So I guess that would be the equivalent to I will survive. And now my music is I will survive. It's the same thing, you know, same women empowerment songs. I want you to tell me about getting on Jay-Z's first album. Did you know he was going to be the guy? Or did you know, how did that come about it?

I heard you say it before, but I wanted for the audience because this is a hip-hop. Yeah. They tuned in. I didn't know that he was going to be what he was. But I knew my girlfriend, Michelle, who's still my girl to this day, We both were friends with Dame Dash. I knew Dame since Slovon. And Michelle was like, oh, you know, Dame.

I was like, yeah. It was like on the start and Jay Z's about to do a record and they want you on. I was on my life album. And I was like, bad. So I showed up to the studio. They gave me the money in a brown bag. Like a brown paper bag.

Still has some yalla, some residue on that. That's cheap. during that the yellow on there. We didn't mind doing business like that back then. I was like, whatever. I was still actually mentally in slow bomb. You know, so I took the money, went in the studio. Irv was there, did the verse, and that was it.

It wasn't no big deal. It was just going to studio. That's a big deal with hip-hop history. Yeah. You see how it happened. You know, I was on some street shit. But here we are. There's a drug deal with no drugs.

Legal drug money Legal judge Hey it's us The Jonas Brothers and guess what We have some big news What's the news? Huge news We created our own podcast

Called Hey Jonas We invented a podcast Well we didn't invent it We just contributed to 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 How do we actually come up With a name Hey Jonas guys I honestly don't remember I think it was on a call About what we should call it And

Oh 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, 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 I-Heart Radio app, 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 Reed. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us

on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nass would get that thing. That man, hell get to fly. He running up the court, licking his fingers, why he got the ball, like, after you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah,

you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court. And you're gonna get the bomb. So listen to Point Game 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.

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.

Oh, cream of chicken suit. Hey, cream. Cream a chicken suit. This is Help from a Hypocrite, the worst advice from the dumbest people you know. Listen to Help from a Hypocrite as part of the My Cultura Podcast Network available on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You know, it's impossible, right, to figure it out. But with all the records, I think your biggest is family affair with Dr. Dre. That was new.

With who else? Who else is on there? Chase to the Moire. Hey, hold up. As Mayor Zemdami would say, Chase to them wall. Jason Sylvester Stallone A motherfucker gave you about 62 names

He'd been picking up my call And I call for him I need some help That family affair You hear the beat I mean y'all had a ball I see that bit You're all in that fucking video huh

He was a family It was a family affair Family affair I get it What was that like when they played you that Dr. J still the guy I never worked with it. I'm trying to get something a crumbus.

Save a little piece for later. Well, let me tell you the story. And Don Poo had a lot to do with this, because Don Poole was my A&R at the time. Okay, shout out of the time. Uzo! And Geffen, Gaffin records are one of those. Guffin.

And so Don Poo, Don Poo bought me the actual track. Now, I'm a hardcore hip-hop. All I'm doing is singing over hip-hop loops. And he brings me B-B-B-B-B-B-B. Didn't understand it. So Don Pru was like, oh man, and then he goes and he gets in the studio with my brother.

Shut up to Bezzi. And then he's like, you'll marry. I think you really need to come down in the studio and, you know, rethink this. So I had to snap out of, you know, records crackling and singing over hip-hop moves for a second to try something new. I said, let me go and see what this is about. So we get in the studio. We start writing the song. my brother had already wrote some of the song

and so I recorded it once I recorded this song I was like oh okay we might have something so I sent it to Dre once we finished it right I sent it to Dre Dre was like no I need something

it needs something he was like it needs a bridge and I was like it don't need a fucking bridge and I was going crazy acting like the savage that I was and he was like if you don't do a bridge I'm going to take my name off it I said, okay, I wanted to eat the bridge. So I went and wrote the bridge, killed the bridge, sent it to Drey.

He was like, What's the bridge again? What's the bridge? We don't need no haters. We're just trying to love one another. No more job. Yeah, and all that. That was me.

I got the words right. Thank you very much. The dog on the plate. And the rest is. history. The song was so big. I was on tour and we had this bus driver who was this big white and, you know, like bluegrass country music

listening. And he would keep the station on the bluegrass station. And I came up there to talk to him one day and family affair was on. I was like, yo, what station is it? He was like, that's my station. He's my song. I said, what? This is my song. You're like, that's me.

That's when I realized, I said, oh, my God, I'm a huge star. That's when I realized it. Let me tell you the good part and the bad part of me being on the show. Me being on is a blessing and beautiful. Now when they come to going on and do a show when they call me, it's their last song. You know how that's...

Ashanti do that shit to me all the time. Ashanti do that shit to me all the time. Be like song 18, yes, bro. Song 18. No, this is the last... She got three pages of souls. I got the last very last one at the line, this fine print.

Like, I deal with people, I go where I'm celebrating. You know, I hear Fab, you know, say less queen, you know, just pay for the ground, you got to give me nothing else.

You know, I'm coming. Kiss, your family, nothing. This is my family, and I only really deal with Jada Kiss and Fabulous when it comes because they really support me. I hate to go begging biggest for your wife. Who can I get a bird? I'm not begging for no verse. My phone turned red.
