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.

Most people out here think that taking care of one another is important.
And most people would step up for a neighbor going through a tough time.
Most people around here help out friends and family when they need it.
But the funny thing is, most of us won't look for help when we need it.
Talk to someone if you're struggling with mental health.
Because most people out here really care.

How many people would love to hear like a Pete Rock produced locks album.
All I need is one piece.
You gotta do is pull up.
What up, y'all?
This is Joe Crack at Dawn.
Your boy, Janna, man.
The Joe and Janna show things are changing in life.
Every show legendary, every show iconic.
You know what I mean?
Shout out the 1800 to kill her.
1800.
You know, we do a different over here.
When you think of today's guests, you think of hip-hop.
You ain't never lie?
Capital letters iced out.
You think of from the basement.
Some of the craziest records to ever land on your airdrums came out of his basement.
Oh, you think of rest in peace, heavy deed.
You know what I mean?
You think of Mount Vernon, money earning on the map.
You think of, you just think of great production.
You think of a timeless legacy,
uh, one of the first producers slash DJs
slash emc's that have bars that was arguably better than the best bars on the song.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
And that's hard to have back then from way back.
Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, make some noise for my brother,
Pete Ra!
Yeah.
It's such an honor to be here, folks.
Appreciate you.
I support y'all.
I'm on a gram.
Sometimes I repost y'all.
You repost anything with the Yankees and Nix?
That's it.
You argue with anybody they can be from Yugoslavia.
Anytime anybody says anything about the Nix.
When I go to the comment section, I see P.R.
He's like you.
He's going crazy or he's defending the Nix.
You don't give a fuck.
They don't want to see it.
They don't want to see us.
We win, man.
Free rock, why you think they hate New York so much?
Because we do it shit.
Because we started a lot here, from fashion to music to slang.
Everything you could imagine, you know what I'm saying?
Started in New York.
They don't want us to win, man.
I would be jealous, too, if I was from our time.
How about that?
How about they say, they say we got an accent.
Yeah, it's our accent.
We do got a accent.
I'm asking me, baby.
Yeah.
Pete, Bob.
First of all, let me ask you questions.
Facts you.
Because you...
Go ahead.
Just get mine ready.
You got, man.
Questions.
Now, I'm going to, all right,
I'm going to let you take the lead.
No, no.
I got to ask you this one.
I'm coming on here to keep it a beam with everything.
If y'all want to ask me, whatever.
Oh, that's your...
That's go, baby.
Why is it me?
Load them up, right?
I ain't got no controversy for Pete,
but...
I don't have to be controversy.
Yeah, yeah.
I ain't got all that.
But what I wanted to ask you, Pete Rock, right?
Because it's important to me.
I'm just asking you.
You could tell me yes, no, whatever.
Do you feel the love and the influence I have from HeavyD?
Because, you know, you watch everything on the gram.
You watch everything.
I try to salute him to the height.
He opened the doors.
Dance.
He's no dancing.
It's late.
I used to dance like Heavy Dade, man, when I went drunk.
Hopefully we could get a clip it out.
James, you can find with crack.
The question is, I know how much
you love Heavy D.
Is a lot of people, do you feel like Fat Joe
try to give it up to Heavy D as much
as he can? Yes. Yes.
I feel like he opened the door for
like the way the guy.
You know what I'm saying? Like he opened the door.
Marky D. I used to always say that
they looked at like Prince Mark the D
from the Fabloods. And then
once people get inspired, you know
it just multiplies, bro. Like
everyone just starts picking up
The inspiration, not even, they don't even, they can't even help it at times.
Because I got a guilt, right?
Now that I'm talking to you, I realize I got a guilt because Heavy D.
Not only was my idol, but he became a good friend of mine.
Fly to Miami hang out with us.
But I never grabbed his shoulder, looked him in his eyes and say,
yo, I'm here because you.
You inspired me on that level.
It wasn't for you.
I would have never believed that whatever I'm,
I'm doing this capable.
Yeah.
And so that's why every chance I get and I reminisce ahead, I post them,
I this and that.
But I'm kind of mad at myself.
Maybe it was the error we was in, where everybody had to act off.
Too cool to tell them that.
A lot of people ain't tell them that.
A lot of people ain't tell them now.
That's responsible for holding your hand in the dark and walking you in this business, man.
I know that.
I remember he helped Rough Riders figure out how to not.
navigate their way in the game.
They told them what they do with X.
I remember us going to have garage him on the punching bag as young locks,
giving us words of encouragement and telling us what, you know,
the do's and don'ts to look out for in the industry.
So I appreciate having time on earth and knowledge and, you know what I mean,
everything he did for the culture and for me personally and for the locks.
Yeah.
And so imagine being under that.
every day.
I'm saying?
So I came out of that.
You got Eddie F.
Mm-hmm.
What was the other dude,
the heavy D and the boys?
G-W-W-T-Roy and Trouble T-Roy.
Well, Trouble T-Roy is a real guy.
Mm-hmm.
Let me salute him now.
You know, he's the one that moved down to Miami and all that, right?
Troy?
No, that's G-W-W-W-T.
Yes.
Trouble T-Roy, rest and peace.
Yes.
G-Wiz is a real dude.
He knows what I'm talking about.
And, you know,
He's a solid guy.
He cut from the cloth, you know.
Then you got your man, you know,
I try to get you up both at the 30th anniversary.
I remember.
See how smooth.
People don't know what you're talking about.
You can't have side relations.
Well, you know, I did the...
Face is all the show, crap.
Go on, dog.
I don't even know what's going on.
Come on, crap.
This much...
This much...
This much...
We're having side federal drug.
Talk with him on the...
No, I'm saying
Seal Smooth, right?
I try to get P. Brock
to see him move at the joint.
He did.
He did.
At the lean-back 20th anniversary
in Apollo,
and P. Brock said,
no, I forgot.
How did that fall apart?
And is it to the death?
Like,
hmm, you know, in this business, bro,
like when you come across
different personalities,
but you match with one,
talent-wise, but, like, physically and mentally, it don't work.
You know, in the very beginning, it worked.
But once you don't get to really know each other, the real them comes out.
And it stirs up a bad character in me that I don't want to come out.
At first, I was mad at the fact that I had to deal with somebody of this stature
who's very different from me.
Yeah, what would you say is this false, though?
Jelly.
jealous jealousy
it's a bad
it's a bad
disease you're a girl
yeah but he's a rapper
you're the DJ
he's anything
yeah but you're producing to be
so you say he was jealous of your
own success
and I see he has that
in him
yeah yeah and that don't work
for grown people
when you're growing into a man
that don't work no more
when we get older
like you just just be like
come on man
I'm like that a lot
I think that's how I'm
maybe like I ain't catch a heart attack, God forbid or a stroke yet because I just lay off that
when this dude's that crazy.
Yeah.
247.
Yeah, this guy full of shit.
Yeah, listen.
When I get you, 142.
But I don't think I could be one could not be 302?
You can't be one.
I don't want to look.
You might lose fans.
I don't want to look like a crackhead.
I don't want to look like.
Let's go, one foot.
You go 220.
I don't want to look sick.
And C-O's very talented for me.
A lot of people used to not get what he used to say.
You know what I'm saying?
But he got a great voice, he can rap,
and I wish we never broke up.
I wish we could have still been together.
I wish he was a certain way, you know,
but sometimes it just happens like that, man.
You can't be told with Rome, man.
Because it's like rumors of, like, naughty by nature.
They do shows, but they don't even talk to each other.
They stay in.
I wish him.
I wish I could do that, though.
I wish I could do that.
You can't even do that for the bad.
It's kind of like awkward, though.
I can't, how could you have chemistry on stage?
Then when it's over, you go in your separate corners and that kind of like makes shit feel for me.
I don't know about it.
I guess I got local for the most part.
I got lucky because I'm a solo artist.
I get it.
There's guys I was down with that.
I would never ever, I don't give a fuck of a billionaire, billionaire Mexican guy come and said,
That led it, that squad.
I give you a hundred million for this album.
I'll be like, nah, papa.
Nah, papa.
I'm not fucking with these guys.
And you got to understand.
I look at this whole game different.
I'm born in poverty.
I'm born in Bronx, Lebanon hospital.
All the odds against me.
I got shot at every day, did everything in the world in the world.
If there's anybody who ever helped me,
is Diamond D. Lord Finesse digging in the crates.
Besides them, nobody ever helped me or gave me
boost. I go and I get myself
in a situation where I can sign people
and give them half a million, million dollars
to this, this, that, use all my
juice. You know,
the way we get big pun to do this on
with Joe the singer, he never met Joe the singer.
Kedar Massenberg.
Shout out to Kada. Shout out to Kada.
Kada is the man.
A calli's golf thing. I met Kedar through
his brother from Stetsa Sons.
Shout out to Daddy. So I'm cool
with Daddy. So Daddy-O, and Daddy-O introduces
me to Keydard. So when we
want to make this record for pun, I call KeyDard.
And then Daddy-O co-signs, try that.
Shout out to Daddy-o.
And Joe shows up in the studio does the song.
He never even met Big Pun before that.
So you over here jocelyn these moves and doing everything for everybody.
And then you get artists who somehow you make them bigger and they start thinking they
bigger than you.
Yeah.
And they start talking to you crazy.
That's the thing.
And so I understand how some things.
can't be repaired because people step out of line to a point of way you just like,
all right, fuck that.
It's just going to, there's no one on your side to say, yo, chill, fuck out, bro.
Chill, man.
Every kid should have a logical uncle that's in this game, any young kid.
I don't care if he's worth 200 million.
There's 20 million.
He's hot.
He needs an unc.
They could tell him, yo, chill.
Before they touch the frying pan.
Yeah.
Those people you tell that, they touch the shit.
Can't told you leave the roots.
Yeah, you can't treat people like that.
Can't talk to them.
Especially your guy.
Not your guy.
Let me ask you a question.
Then-a-na-na-na-na-na-din-na-then-in-then.
I had a bronco with the biggest sound system.
It felt like a Jamaican party.
The window open.
I drove up and down 163 with Groovy News, mother-in-lawdom.
I might have drove 10.
thousand times. This was going to the bottom of the hill,
making you turn to the top,
to the hill. I don't even think I heard a bar.
All I heard was,
then-then-then-then-in-then.
To me, in Fat Joe's list,
that might be the greatest hip-hop beat of all time.
That's the greatest sentimental hip-hop record.
It's the greatest sentimental hip-hop record in hip-hop.
I can agree with that.
What I'm talking about is the beat, right?
And the lyrics is out of control.
Right.
When I heard that beat, it was almost ancestral.
Turned them horns, I was like, you went to fly.
Let's play, let's hear it.
Let's crank that shit right now.
Oh, we're going to hurt?
Yeah.
When we talk about music, we play.
Tell Rich to call Jeff from Rewinded and tell him we can shooting.
Let's toast some 1800 to this classic right here, man.
There's your girl.
Toast is Joe's leg.
See, that's it for me.
Yo, Pete.
Let me get that cup right there.
You drink out of it?
Yeah, four.
All right.
I reminisce for a spell or shall I say think back.
Twenty-two years ago to keep it on track.
The birth of a child on the eighth of October.
A toast.
But my granddaddy came sober.
Count all the fingers in the toes.
Now I suppose you're a little black boy grows.
18 years younger than my mama
But I really got beatings with a girl love drama
In single parenthood there I stood
By the time she was 21 had another one
This one's a girl
Let's name a Pam, same father as the first
But I don't give a damn
Irresponsible plain not thinking
Papa said chill but the brother keep winking
Still he won't down you would tear out your hide
On your side while the baby make a slide
But Mama got wise to the game
The youngest of five kids hon here it is
After 10 years without no spouse,
Mama's getting married in the house.
Listen, positive over-negative over-woman a master.
Mother Queen's rise in the chapter.
Deja-vous, tell you what I'm going to do.
When they reminisce over you, my God.
Timeless classes.
They play this, you just feel good about yourself.
No matter what's going on, no matter where you at.
No matter.
I feel like the great summer.
You feel beautiful.
When I take back, I recall a man off the family tree.
My right hand, Papa Doc, I see.
Took me from a boy to a man, so I always had a bother
when my biological wouldn't bother.
Taking care of this to a whomever.
Not a bad ticker, but I'm clocking pop's liver.
But you can never say that as life is through.
Five kids in 21 believe you got a ripe two.
That's right.
Here we go while I checked the scene with the Portuguese lover
at the age of 14.
The same age, front page, no fuss,
but I bet you all you know they live longer than us.
That's right.
Never been seen now.
That's where you're on.
Give a minute and he's gone.
Not north sleep to a jazz tune.
I can hear his head dang in the next room.
I get the pillow and hope I don't wake him for this man to cuss here at all in.
Verbatto.
Telling me how to raise my boy unless he's taking over.
I said pop, maybe when you're older.
We laughed all night about the hookers at the party.
My old man standing yelling.
Good God Almighty.
Take tips to the proof when they reminisce over you.
For real, baby.
It's so lovely.
You hear it.
It just sounds.
It's beautiful.
Woo.
In 92.
Hey.
How you make something like this in 1990?
I reminisce so you never forget this.
The day's a way back.
So many bear witness the fitness.
Take the first letter out of each word in this joint.
Listen close.
As I prove my point.
Tea to the R-O-Y, how did you and I meet in front of Big Loo?
Fighting in the street, that Big Loo!
Rest and peace.
Rest in peace.
But I believe it in me.
Rain of shine, yes in any weather.
My grandma Pam holds the family together.
My uncle Doc's the greatest, better yet the latest.
Then he...
Ah!
The kid!
Look a Jay!
Word catch J!
When they remit this over you.
Yeah, it's a DJ.
We got to let Jerry DJ one thing.
He's crap.
The next word is born.
To the one and only.
Never be another.
He was my brother.
Trouble T. Roy.
It's like that, y'all.
1922.
Fuck, race.
Man.
Goose bumps.
Yeah.
Rest and peace.
Trouble T. Roy.
That was my man.
That fucking album, man.
What a dude for you?
Because you were ready to his door.
You were yonkers.
You could go to fucking Mount Vernon and the C.
P.
I went there a lot.
My aunt.
All the time.
My I.
John lived right around the corner from Big Luke.
Yeah.
So it felt like a win for the town.
You know what I mean?
It was doing shit.
He was already a win.
But then to have his cousin and his man come out with these songs and this production,
it felt like Westchester and Mount Vernon, Yonakis, New Roe,
we was getting on the map.
You know what I mean?
In a major way.
Only man gave me hope.
It gave like, yo, hi.
out next. I got a chance to do this.
They brought one DMC back.
The king of rock. What was like
that when they walked? What was like
that call? Rest of peace,
Jam Master Jay, that was the homie.
He was the one. J.M.J. Res of Pee.
And DMC.
Shout out to Run too, but D and
Jay were the ones.
That's it. You need this bit. Yeah.
Yeah, he inspired us too.
But how was the fucking
You're the video. You know, that was the
crazy. How did?
Everybody was in that video.
Everybody was a video.
live still.
When they called you to make this song,
what was going through your mind?
Man, because you bought them back in a major way.
Like, and they sounded good?
Yeah.
After he talked about this, we got to pull out.
I don't think we could do that. I don't think nobody could do that right now.
In 2025, bring like an OG back with a smoker.
The gap, the way you fucking crafted the production and they fit from so many years and
From you just knowing about rock box and all that shit
And being the fan, that's not being able to date that.
It came from being a fan first.
And then, you know, trying to impress Russ, a sentence.
At a young age, I'm 18, 19 years old.
What's your, Russ, I can do this shit.
And so after the shut them down work, the remix work I was getting,
kind of pulled myself there, and they gave me a shot.
I look at it as a shot.
Like Jam Master Jay showed up at my mama house.
knocking on the door, so I opened the doors.
Jam, that's Jay almost.
Got a little busy.
You know what I'm saying?
Then he was like, yo, come on, let's go work on us.
We had a meeting, and in a meeting,
Russell was looking at me like,
you know what I'm saying?
And I had to prove myself,
and I started getting down because I was like,
maybe they'll work.
Jay showed up at the clinic.
He was like, oh, school next.
Let's go work on this.
And he started crafting ideas.
And then he said,
yo, this is the B pattern I want.
And I was like, No it.
I just hit record and I was like, you do it.
He'd have a B pattern, you did it.
Then I added him, Cicada,
you did Sik-Sah, and I just finished it all.
So we kind of made it together.
All the sounds came from me, but it was his idea.
I wish Scott Stoertz gave me that credit, man.
I did lean back, make it ring with him.
I did all my joints with him,
and I swear to God, I ain't pressed the buttons,
but I told them the sound.
Yes.
Candy shop, I did it, he denies it.
I had Little Kemp there.
So like, everybody like a snake, my mom.
Scott Stores.
But you know, you could tell him and he could play it.
Yes, right?
Yes.
And so I went for a long job this weekend, right?
And all I heard about 30 times in the world was
whose world is this, the world is yours.
It's mine, it's mine.
Whose world is this?
The world is yours.
Oh, shit.
Whose world is this?
He just came up with the hook, like.
No, he ain't actually he did.
La La La La La La.
You know, he came to the burning.
Shout out to Lars Professor.
You know what I'm saying?
After they left Eric Sermon's career,
and went to the CPR.
Large professor,
who started, help Lord Finesse,
who was the captain of all of this.
And so he was like, yo, Pete, I got this dude.
Then you played me the barbecue thing.
I was like, wow,
running to the crib.
And then he comes in
and he just stands and brings to
walk. And then I pop that one in
and I was about to say, all right, let me go to the next one.
He was like, oh, hey, hey, chill, chill. That's the first
time you ever say something.
He's just like, start to do this.
I was like, you like it?
And he was like, get bothered and
then he came up with the hook. I gave him
a few minutes. He had that composition
book or whatever, I think. And then
he was like, yo, I want you to sing this part.
But he used to play around on records
and be doing that little stupid stuff on records
but he wanted me to sing that part.
And he was like, sing it like this.
And then he started singing.
Oh, well, it's this.
Grubbs, yeah.
Narnous, none.
I ain't know what's going to come out the way it did.
But I said, I'm going to do my best.
Crazy!
Ridiculous.
Shout out to the Illmatic.
I guess we got to ask the brother himself.
Nah, as you know,
I ain't got to tell you.
tell you, you know you got to touch the couch.
Him, Jay, they all go and touch this couch.
Yep.
They can front all they want.
Buy new coliseums, whatever the fuck they want.
They know.
They want to touch that stratosphere of real hip-hop.
They got to come on this.
He's going to buy new coliseums, whatever the fuck you want.
I don't even want.
I don't even talk.
I don't know.
My fingers, my Twitter fingers, are getting tired of hitting Jay-Z.
And nods with congratulations.
If I look at my last 30 text, it's like, yo, congratulations, dog.
You pulled it off.
God bless you.
Yeah.
Beans a lot coming from you, Joe.
Yeah.
Good man.
This, like, these guys.
I'm thinking I'm ready to borrow something from both of them.
I'm almost ready.
Well, you know what?
I'm with, Jada, not to put you in a spot of nothing, but, you know, I said, I ain't
chopped liver over here.
Well, you ain't never been chopped liver.
Never had.
We know that.
such thing.
How many people would love to hear like a Pete Rock produced
Lox album?
Ooh.
All I need is one Pete.
You gotta do is pull up.
Pull up.
For us to be so close.
Yeah, just pull up.
We got three rooms.
Today's show is brought to you by our presenting sponsor, Hard Rock Bet.
We've been rolling with the Hard Rock Bet all regular season long,

Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what?
We have some big news.
What's the news, name?
Huge news.
We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas.
We invented a podcast?
Well, we didn't invent it.
We just contributed to a...
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, John?
Jonas, guys.
I honestly don't remember.
I think it was on a call about 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, 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 remember.
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.

We did the right.
I went to him.
He started telling me, yo, I own it.
Coming back to 20, 28 this, I see, yo, I'm much.
And please let me pay you.
Whoever said they owned it, I paid it.
Like, yeah, I mean, I didn't want no beef.
Right.
I didn't catch no beef.
But I didn't know that was going to come afterwards.
I thought he was going to be like, yo, because he did a post where he said,
no, the brothers are stand up brothers.
Then the next week, he went in on us.
So that's the part I didn't get.
Like, how are you going to do a poll?
I would say you a problem with this podcast shit.
I bigged up, two, three, four people that I really love that we all know.
It's like me big enough people.
I'm going to always use Kit Capri.
He's one of them.
Top five DJs, Kit Capri, the next thing I love.

For one DJ in the world, what more you want to be?
You called them that?
Yes.
We got to discuss the latest effect.

I'm telling the people right.
All the time.
You gave DJs their flowers, and you put Calid on the red carpet, and that's what he got madden.
I call him right now.
Uh-oh.
You told him Cal, it's too rich to even put with them.
Uh-oh.
And he didn't like that.
We talked about Jay-Z.
Calick could buy Coliseum, too.
So my thing is, you know, I go around Callet and I'm broke, my nigga.

I big him up, and then they diss me.
And all I'm trying to do is preserve the culture.
Sit on this couch.

That's what I was taught in the hip-hop.
In hip-hop, I was taught that we're one community.
We all one community, but we're the fakeest community.
Talk about it.
Cake, dog.
I got to hit that 1800 coming because I like this trick.
You're talking about the community of hip-hop and the love.

Fony.
Well, I risked my life a million times for rappers.
Like, I've seen rappers getting ruffled up in the corner by the extortionists.
I've seen them getting chased out the clubs by the biggest guys in the world.
I've seen that I saved so many.
Fat Joe has saved so many rappers.
I never tell a story because it's really, really embarrassing.
I had beef one time with the whole entire West Coast
And every New York rapper was there
And when them dudes came and formed Voltron on this
Everybody walked away
I've seen it my own eyes
Everybody we ever thought was tough

In the middle of the street in front of everybody
I'm like yo New York what's up
It was closing his curtains and shit

The only rapper from New York that jumped in was Juju from the beatiners.
And at that point, I wanted to be like,
Yo, Juj, you shouldn't have jumped there.
That's my bro.
He don't care.
Shout out to the beat.

Just take Coof.
Cooflipped around the other way means hot.
When I do it, man, I can't get stuck.
Jump on the mic down and heard any quick buck.
Fuck me and loose.
Then I grab some blues and stuck with my truce.
For those I can't follow and got stuck,
Cooflip the other way means.
Is this a curse?
I freak the nurse.
And I hurt.
But I made sure I have my hat first.
See that smooth.
It's time to kick a verse.
God's side for the vibe, we can't curse.

Go ahead, ask me.
When I kick a curse in the verse I say no.

He was doing the beats.
Mr. Divers of a rideer.
Sir, shout out the Daz.
He was just, that's my word.
I thought they were rappers.
Like, I always looked at Daz and Corrupt and Spitters.
I got a joint with Drey and Corrupt.
And I did both beats because the beat changes in the second verse.
So Drey comes in on the second verse killing shit.
But corrupt?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

couch. For real. Facts. You know what I'm saying?
He's original gangster.
Beyond deserving.
I never forget they threw this, you know,

This shit was like, good luck, Rikers Island or whatever.
You know what I'm saying?
This shit was prospect movie theater.
They threw one concert for some reason Ice T performed.
And I never forget.
It was around the time Larry Davis had shot them cops.
Ice T was on top of the speaker talking about, go, Larry, go.
Cote killed.
Niggas was going to go.
Larry Go, he had the whole crowd
screaming out. I knew this
nigga was bugged down. I'm watching him. I say,
yo, this dude is wild. The only Robin Hood
will ever have from New York.
That Larry Davis.
What? That situation,
he's a hero for that.
And it was corrupt. They was corrupt.
They lined them up. They never let
them come home. They lined them up.
They wasn't going to let him get away with that.
These Knicks, you trade the
whole team for Jonas?
Nope. Jada says he wants to trade the
whole team.
Take everybody.
You know what?
You know, kids like,
take everybody.
Take the nift.
We just keep the whole team
and get yonish.
That's exactly what I was going to say
just now.
Oh, no, we're not keeping the whole team.
It's the only way I'm getting in.
Keep the major players?
You're not doing that.
That's the only way.
I'm not giving up everybody.

Now I'm trying to turn you.
You gotta stop.
Y'all, Tate it.

He sat right there where he was at, and he didn't say none of that.
What?
What?
No.
And he's from Uptown?
Flagg.
The promotion of you sold him.
And he's from Uptown.
For promotion.
And they said, keep Kat.
Come on, man.
Nah.
But when you hear fans say,
yo, trade this one, send this one away,
that's them,
being haters trying to break up the team.
Yeah, you think they're haters?
They scared the death for what we got.
And it's the same team. Run it that.

And he got to move it.
Oh, there you go.
You don't like Mike Brown?
No, he likes him.
I love Tis.
I still don't know why we got rid of Tibbs,
but I spoke to a couple NBA players.
And now they said he maxed out.
He did his way of coaching.
He don't do his starter, correct?
Yeah.
No.
And then once
Caldridge's never missed a game
in his life and he said,
this guy's playing us too much.
They got him out of the end.
I know Jalen Brunson,
people have their issues
with him with dribbling and stuff like that,
but too much driveling.
Boar hog.
Anybody else would have been considered a boar hog?
Yeah.
Not him.
Yes.
He's the man.
He's the captain.
I love him.
And I think he's going to.

Why would we do that?
How you say his last name?
Why would we?
It's not.
Today's Bryce.
How you say it's last name?
I wouldn't do it.
I wouldn't do it.
I lined you up, Jada.

In that deal for Jonas.

Give him one of the third string players on the bench.
Yeah, give them...

That's why I told people.
Give them the nick dances.
Give them deuce.
Stop.

And guess what?
We have some big 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.
And 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.

Your best thing is in the deal.
Hey, it's us, the journalist.
And guess what? We have some big news.
What's the news, name?
Huge news.
We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas.
We invented a podcast?
Well, we didn't invent it.
We just contributed to it.
We're the first people to do podcasts.
Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there.
But this one's extra special.
So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys?
I honestly don't remember.
I think it was on a call about what we should call it.
Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early
names of our band before Jonas Brothers
was...
This is how you guys remember it going down?
Yes.
I have a very different memory of this.
We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast,
where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas.
And then I wrote down on my little notepad,
Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast.
But thanks for remembering that, guys.

not quite on Humor Me with Robert Smygel and Friends.
Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman
help make you funnier.
This week, my guest, S&L's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel,
help an a cappella band with their between songs banter.
Where does your group perform?
We do some retirement homes.
Those people are starving for banter.
Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the I-Heart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get,

are trending, opinions are flying, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened. That's where
Sports Slice comes in. I'm Timbo. Every episode, we're cutting through the noise, breaking down the plays,
the controversies, and the stories behind the headlines. We go straight to the source,
the athlete themselves, their locker room stories, their reactions, the stuff nobody gets to hear.
The laughs, the drama, the triumphs, the moments that never make the highlight real. From viral,
moments to historic games, from buzzer beaters to controversial calls, we break it down,
give you context, and ask the questions everybody wants answered.
SportsSlice brings you closer to the action with stories told by the people who live them.

The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis.
And I know firsthand because I competed there myself.
I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast,
I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris.
Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on clay.
Jenchian won.
I mean, she went down in three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted.
She's an outsider to win the French for me.
And she likes Clay.
Listen, Lina Rabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now,
and I actually can win on any surface.
Because if she's serving, well, good luck.
Consider this your court side seat to the French Open.

LL. Kul J destroyed a lot of careers.
His first battle with Kumo D, that was like, joint for joint, joint, joint, joint.
That was a real battle.
What?
Kumonti was considered the nicest lyricist at the time.
I was able to make...
He could tell my boss
it was no song better
than the Wow, Wow.
Would they...
My Pops?
He made a record to Teddy.
I play anything here, my I'm giving me fuck.
I used to live uptown.

The first, too.
As you didn't know, man, this is called the show.
T.R. did a lot of shit.
T.R. did.
Rats new generation.
Man, that's new generation.
For cool key for them.
Set G.
100 minutes, man, the turn of this and then, no.
That's classical two.
Classical two is the name of them.
For rap's new generation?
They went on rooftop records.
Rooftop had a label.
No, no, no.
I remember.
The rooftop had a label.
The first time I heard that was,
I was in Vietnam
in the Bronx
at a house party
and they played
Wraps New Jennerous
Get on out the movie
No he got a video
with me about 14
with the bubble goose
with the big
in the middle
of the fucking jam
I was grilling
the whole fucking party
You know what I'm saying
They got a video
somewhere out there like that
You gotta find that shit
For me
They got a video
And remember the time
Michael Jackson
No we got a video
If you're gonna post that
You breakdance
I was doing that shit.
You're doing that shit.
I wasn't like,
you spinning on your head and shit.
I was windmill and impact spinning.
I could still do it to this day.
Anybody want to bet.
I got windmill.
I got 10 windmills in me.
Yo, Pete Rock.
What's up, brother?
Where's hip-hop going?
Artists don't even want to rap no more now.
These young boys want to stream.
Only the pioneers can save us.
Only if people like us
can save this that understand the realness.
of what we're doing.
You know, the music we make, you know,
the now we understand how important the youth is
in today's society with everything that's happened,
you know what I'm saying?
And we want to connect it there.
Because I mean, I had a hard time listening to that music.
I was harsh.
And my apology is, you know, the day-la-so album.
We made a record called yours and we talked to the mute.
So that's kind of like my apology joined to the youth.
It's called yours?
Yeah.
I heard it.
I didn't, I didn't, think.
Share it.
The break is on it,
comments on it.
All right.
Yeah.
And so that record
was an apology record
to the news.
So I feel like
with us,
being Olga,
that know how to stay
the shit,
it's going to be up to us
to really have
them connect
with what we do.
And hopefully,
you know,
they listen.
And when we're gone,
you know what they tell me
his son
because I hustle him
all the time.
His son coming here.
He's having debates
with the,
he's crazy.
He goes with my son
with his daughter.
Everybody, Norris kids.
I don't want to debate.
I want to know what the youth is thinking.
Yeah, that's my man.
You know what I'm saying?
So I go, yo, what they say about this or what they think about that.
And then they'll tell me and I'm like, are you serious?
I can't cast what they get into it.
Where they have answers is far fetch.
It's just they don't understand.
I'm in the pool with Norrie's sons.
I said, who's your favorite rapper?
They tell me a name of a guy I never heard.
I said, what they was like, unc?
You're not going to like it.
I said, what you mean?
The beat is trash, the rapper's trash.
He's my favorite.
Like, yo!
Like, who does that?
Who's the best producer in the past five years?
Who do you think that is?
Past five years.
That's like a microwave question.
Damn.
Come from where longevity is nobody.
I'm going to say Alchemist shines.
Alchemist.
I'm going to say he shines through.
Alchemist.
And that.
A-O-C?
Alchemist.
Alchemist.
Yeah, we bumped into each other in Japan.
Oh, shit.
I don't know.
I'm walking in the record store.
You all was shopping in the record store digging.
In Japan?
I walk in and I see this guy.
I'm like, yo, that's...
And then we hung out.
Uh-oh.
I remember one time I was walking by the train station
and somebody was selling some old records.
And I bought them.
Maybe $3 a bunch of old records.
brought him back to Diamond.
And he looped up this joint I had.
I had one of my first demos was he's a big shot.
Tred Joe is a big shot.
He took it from the record we bought and made a fucking beat out of it.
And that was like one of my first demos.
You know, with Diamond, I've seen so much greatness with Diamond, you know, he still got it.
Like, I go see him DJ and he got the same ditty bop.
I'm like the Diamond Diddy Bob.
And it's crazy, right?
Because I told you that reminisce is probably the greatest beat of the noise.
I like horns.
Horns hit.
Right now, what even just, horns is just like, like my lifestyle.
I like horns for some reason.
Even that joint, y'all just played the gangsta, gangsters, that's some horns.
That's shit, though.
What's your favorite instrument to sample?
Keyboard sounds and I like horns.
I did the horn thing.
You horned.
You was a heavy horns and everybody started following.
I got it.
I got it mostly from 45 King.
But Molly, Molly started doing it first, no doubt.
But 45 King stressed it and then I just said, I just capitalized.
You know, let me tell you something.
I'm starting to work again, right?
And I'm asking people for that raw sound.
The other day I heard,
It's a hard knock life.
Even though that was a commercial hit,
if you listen to it now,
it had that war 45 King sound a master.
I can't find producers these days to get that.
What's the problem?
Even when they do the raw sound,
they'll do something glossy.
They'll do something to it.
He won't have a black girl.
This is why AI is bad for music, okay?
They don't have souls.
They don't have the ideas that come from here to here and land here.
Just a little knowledge about, you know, the music, it has to come from within for it to be dope.
AI could never read.
You know what's crazy is I had this guy every Sunday.
I don't want to why it lined me up, but I go to the Italian deli, and I go get my olives, my stuff, you know.
And they had a guy there that was almost like the rain man.
You know, he was...
Huh?
Canolese olives.
Matamel.
You know, mozzarella.
Like...
Moutan.
Moutrelle.
The Mouserrel.
He called his fucking...
What did he call?
Mottes Mottes Moll.
Yo, come on.
Hey, watch them canoese.
You dogs.
Them communities.
All right is Muconel.
Hey, he's Moods around me.
It's Jekis and Taurus, it's mootter out.
Called him Mok's a Mell.
You can't go back.
They're in the poison.
Can I say something?
Mok's a Milt.
So I get to talking to this guy, right?
So I'm in there talking to him, and then he's talking about jazz music and this.
He says, hip-hop.
You know how to play instruments?
You know how to, I said, no.
He was like, so where does hip-hop come from?
So as I'm explaining to him,
for the first time in my life,
it opened my mind.
So I was like, yo, hip hop comes from sampling
all other art forms of music,
whether it's Jamaican, whether it's jazz,
whether it's, it don't matter.
We sample everybody else's music
and I'm explaining it to him.
And while I'm explaining it to him,
I'm hearing it myself for the first time
where I'm like, oh shit, we come from all kind of music.
Right?
and DMC.
I'm the king of rock.
I said, you know they sample.
Haley Rod.
Remember that?
Haley Rock.
Yeah, remember that shit.
And I'm going to tell you, we did the 50th anniversary in Yankee Stadium.
And if you asked me, I silently, you know, none of my victory, nobody broadcasts
Fat Joe's victories.
They just won't.
Whoever you named stepped up on the stage, I really believe top three, top two, I
ripped it down more than anybody.
I don't care.
Common got busy too, though.
Carmen was there.
He did good.
He didn't do it.
Not better than you, though.
All right, Joe, rip that shit down.
In the backyard.
Yeah, nobody ripped it down like me.
But I'm going to keep it real with you.
I go up with my family to the suite.
And them boys came on.
That's just a do.
No, no, no, no, no.
And I was just like a kid again.
And one DMC, I was like, yo, the gods is here.
Like, one DMS.
That was big for me.
When I was a kid, they were,
like superhero god
cause him in Memorial.
Come on, bro.
Fat boys,
one deal, see, rapping duke,
and something else.
My mom's brought me there.
That was one of my best time of my life.
Let's dig up there, producer.
I know his name, but you remember right.
Larry, uh...
Larry Smith.
Larry took me inside.
It's Captain Lyke.
That's my friend.
Sovindro, 4.50.
He never came back.
Yeah.
Fucking genius, man.

Dave cut the record down to.
That was Davey Dave.
You're all the best.
Cut this beat because of it is.
Dave, cut the record down to it.
Davy Dee.
Yeah, Larry Smith.
You called them.
What did you call them?
Davey,

Baby D.
You're all the best.
Cut this.
You're for the D and A.
I used to like Malcolm McLaren.
Yep.
Worlds, world's famous.

Memorial Field.
And then there was a 70s concert

I caught run-d-seat, bad boys.
In them.
Rapping Duke.
Well, you said, you went to the Michael Jackson.
No, no, no.
I mean, I don't feel

where Run DemC
performed.
Somebody told me they went to that

A younger brother,
Jackson 5.
It's dancing with one DMC.
You know what I'm saying?
Shout out to grab love.
Yeah, sir.
What was, because we're about to go,
but what was the first song
that you would hear all the time
walking into the jams when you was a kid?
I had to get up and dance.
You don't want to origin,
not even when the...
That's the party.
Grandmaster Flats.
Yeah, that's the party joint.
Like, that's the joint.
Whoever had turntables, put the speaker in the window, cut the hell out of that.

Yo, listen, this episode of Joe and Jada was brought to you by 1800 tequila,
the finest agave tequila.
The best.
But 1800, I don't want.

Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it.
But, you know, tired and sick.
