We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas.

We just contributed to it.

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.

We do some retirement homes.
Those people are starving for banter.

I'd know.
I competed there for decades.

Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged.
It's the enhanced games.
Some call it grotesque.
Others say it's unleashing human potential.
Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all,
embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year.
Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds.
I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth.
Listen to Superhuman on the I-Hart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I got a confession to make right in front of your face because you, my man, I love you and he does.
So I got to tell you, I can't say this behind your back and not say it in front of your face.
I blame you for the Yankees moving to the Dodgers last year.
You're full of shit.
Steve, you full of shit.
Whatever's Joe cracked the darn in his body.
It's your boy Jada.
You know what it is, the Joe and Jada show.
Every show legendary, every show iconic.
We never let you dad.
When you think of today's guest, she's,
you think of media guru.
You think of journalism, phenom.
You think of just sports, knowledge, history,
the ability to hold a dialogue
with the best of them in the world.
Maybe a presidential candidate.
Maybe one of those also in the near future.
Oh, you love that shit!
You see St.
Without no further ado, ladies and gentlemen,
make some noise for Stephen A. Spare.
What's up, Jeff?
Come up, follow him.
I'm like this.
Let me tell you all this, man.
When my peeps called me and they was like,
Stephen, you guys in Cali.
They was like, and I was going to stay there

They were like, Stephen.
Jada and Fadjoca.

I ain't missing that.
I love y'all, man.
I love this show.
I can wait.
This is an invite I've been waiting for.
And I'm a busy man, but I was waiting for this shit.
I was letting it marinate because, you know, we almost got each other in the back pocket.
No doubt.
I was just like, let me marinate in it.
Oh, yeah.
50 episodes.
Yeah.
And then bring out the big dog.
Right.
Because, you know, this guy, we can't waste.
You know, sometimes you got to build up that audience.
Yeah.
For when you put.
place to be. You wanted a big dog.
One of them. No, no, no, no, no, no.
The trifecta. Let me tell you something. You,
MJ, and hove.
I ain't going to never say that about. I ain't going to never say that about myself.
But thank you. I'm going to tell you. I'll take it.
No, I'm telling you the truth.
Love you, bro. You know that.
Man, 20 million a year. God damn it. Shit. What the
fuck from Queens?
Hollis.
Born in the Bronx.
Yeah, true.
How you didn't know that?
You don't even get a flag.
I threw a flag on myself.
Born in the Bronx, I always thought you was from Queens.
Born in the Bronx, Ho Avenue.
Whole Avenue?
Yep.
That's five minutes from you.
I know.
You know who was born in Ho Avenue?
Where?
Luther Vandross.
Oh, I didn't know that.
I never knew that, bro.
How about that?
I never knew that.
Newt the fucking Vantzor.
My favorite singer in the wild.
Check.
Fact check that.
James.
Luther Van Dros was born
raised in the Bronx
Luther was born to where else
Oh yeah
I'm telling
I clear this song
If Joe say it
I'm gonna believe that shit
He's talking about the Bronx
He told me somebody
Was born something
I'm gonna believe
Yeah, he like knowing shit like that
He's like that
Hobloor pressure already
man
Give me my diet Pepsi
over there two time fella
Man
He grew up in all avid
Let me tell you something
I sampled Luther
when I went to clear of this family
that stayed there. And he said, we grew up
five minutes from your old.
So where did he grow up that?
He was born there and then he moved to the-
All right, I'm thinking he's born there. I don't know, Bellevue.
Yo, where he grew up at?
Remember that video, Ben-in-in-Fenn-in'-Fenn.
Then-in-fin there's on the roller skates and shit.
I don't think when you think about Luther,
you think about roller skates, though.
No, Ruth, his biggest son.
I got you.
I got you.
Love me.
Remember the video that had the people
rolled to skate, that was shit.
Yo,
spend time or grew up.
It's all light.
There you go.
That's where I thought he was at.
Yo, he attended.
That's a terrible.
Joe, stop production.
There's one thing I know about Joe.
This is one thing I know about Joe.
He will do that.
He will do that.
Let me tell you, Luther Vandross,
while you grew up in Whole Avenue,
now I was only there for one time
to year one.
I moved to Hollis.
I'm trying to say is that whole avenue,
Luther Vangel's from Ho Avenue.
A lot of my relatives was on Webster Avenue,
all of that.
I know.
Third Avenue.
I know.
Cass knew you.
You don't say what they fuck they want out here.
My cousins, Boise, Sandra,
all of them looked over on Webster.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Yo, but listen, we got Stephen A. Smith in the motherfucking building.
You the sports are analysts.
I can't wait.
First, we're going to ask you about,
because today we was contemplating shit.
He apologized.
the DAC.
Me?
M.
Oh.
Hell no.
I'm not apologizing to
DAC.
That's a bum.
No, man.
Rich play is a Dallas fan.
I've been telling them
they're not going to ever
come close to a chip
with Dak Prescott.
Yes, this year,
first time ever,
he played better than ever,
but he didn't win a game.
I can't submit to a guy
who didn't win a game.
I just...
It ain't on him, though.
The defense is all.
You know, the defense is horrible.
Defense is horrible.
But, you know, your man,
Draymond Green, apologize to Dax.
Are they trying to make it like...
Well, he should have, though.
He should have, though,
because you called him a bum,
and that was going too far.
He's not a bum.
And Dremont know better
because he's a four-time champion.
You know, but then Dremont clarified,
which is why I defended him,
because he said,
yo, when I say a bum,
I'm not talking about the brother can't play.
I'm talking about a cat
that don't step up in the moment.
But that's still not a bum.
Should you take,
If you were owner of a team, you would take Dak Prescott as your quarterback.
Even with a great defense.
It depends on what options I have.
I ain't taking them if I can get Patrick Mahomes.
I ain't taking them if I can get Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson.
I'm not doing that.
You understand?
I'm not taking them if I get Jalen Hertz.
I'm not taking them if I get Matthew Staff.
Yeah, your man down in the bottom.
Wait, I'm not, I'm not.
It's 32.
No, no, no.
It's 32 team.
He says seven quarterbacks.
It ain't by eight fucking team.
I think he's top 10 or 11.
out of 32.
I think he's like he can sell the product.
I think he's top 10 11.
I think that's all they got him there.
He's a fly dude.
No, no, no.
He's selling pillows.
No, he can play.
He's selling all type of shit.
He can do his pillow.
Yo, that's all I ever thought of that.
You should because he's a cowboy,
and we all know how disgusted the nauseating the cowboy fan base is.
No disrespect.
You know that.
I'm a cowboy's fan.
But the point is.
I'm a Cowboys fan by domestic violence.
That's right.
They lose?
I got a fucked up week.
I can't wait to Sunday come.
I actually prayed for that breast guy.
Please win because this guy loses.
He's grown.
I'm fucked.
He's good with me.
He's good with me.
He's good with me.
He's good with me.
He's got to, he wants him.
See, I warn him ahead of time.
It's not going to be a good week.
So when I see him, he was already prepared.
He was already prepared.
You don't prepare him.
You get his hopes up and then you fuck him up.
Recied piece to the brother who just killed himself on Dallas.
Yeah, Neelan.
Right?
Yes, rest in peace.
He shot himself in the heart.
You know, depression I've been through.
depression. I never thought about killing myself, but I went through the real depression.
I lost fun, my sister, my grandfather's same week. I didn't know how to shake that shit for two
years. So I know depression is crazy. But I think he shot himself dead so that they can examine his brain.
Probably. What was my man say? Junior say out. Junior say out. They did Aaron Hernandez.
You know, this guy who shot up the building said he was CT. Personally speaking, I think,
Antonio Brown, that's what he's going through.
Like, he just got arrested in Dubai and extradited back.
Could they check you in alive?
A way to find a CTE?
Not until you pass away and then they can examine the brain properly.
But I think that if you go back, and I remember one time Antonio Brown got a bit buckwild,
he was like, unlike himself or whatever, and peace was looking at me.
My man Juve over there was like, what fuck is that way?
I was like, chill.
Like, look at him.
He ain't been the same since that bond.
Vantes Burfick hit when he was a Pittsburgh Steeler.
And he was in the playoffs and went over the middle and Vontes Burfick put it on him.
His body kicked up like Rigamortes.
You know what I'm saying?
He had never been the same sense.
I don't know how prevalent it is with all these cats,
but I do think it's something that you need to investigate.
Go back and watch that hit on Bob on Vontes Burf.
Look, Antonio Brown been bugged out for a minute.
Since that hit.
Since that hit.
ain't been the same.
Yo, listen, he been fucked out.
Coming off the field, taking off his shirt,
walking out of MetLife Stadium,
going on stage, dancing like a clown.
That wasn't him?
That brother was out on the football field.
Listen, I can tell you can tell you're not.
We don't make as much money to show.
Do not play yourself and quit playing football,
basketball, baseball to rap.
It's just...
That's how you know something to happen with that here.
That's a...
Hell.
That's a big.
That's a big hell.
Here's where you knew.
Because he still played, not that game,
but he still had a couple of years in his career after that hit, right?
Remember when he was on the Raiders?
Keep this in mind.
Remember this, because I went off about this on the air,
and that's when I knew he had a problem.
I said, ladies and gentlemen, it is Thursday.
They got a Monday night football game as a Raiders.
all he has to do is play and shut the fuck up.
And by Tuesday afternoon, he guaranteed $29 million.
Opened his mouth anyway, and they cut him before Tuesday.
You know, motherfuckers getting their own way.
29 million dollars.
All you got to do is third.
There's no exaggeration.
It's a Thursday.
And all he has to do is wait until Tuesday.
and he got $29 million guaranteed
and opened his mouth shut up
and got thrown off the team.
I guess I'm rolling.
Me and you, we talk this.
Yeah.
Could you shut the fuck up to Tuesday?
Like, shit, I could have done it?
The 29 million hours.
I couldn't shut the fuck up
to the rest of the month.
That's right.
Hell yes.
For 29 million hours?
My wife said,
I could have said,
I got arthritis in my bones.
The only thing that really worked is my fucking mom.
She said, you won't shut the fuck up.
You need some type of massage
and some shit to your shit.
She said, you won't shut the fuck up.
And let me tell you something.
Yeah, it's hard sometimes.
Yeah, I want to say something.
I tried.
Right, because they take me for granted.
Right.
Steve, I'm like one of the greatest storytellers in all the time.
People tune into our shit to hear the stories.
They get the shit for free.
And they, like, shut the fuck up.
Like, we don't want to hear you.
But you know, why?
Because you're a storyteller.
So you always telling story?
Yes.
They do
All my sister
Every day
They go like this
Not today Joe
You know Thanksgiving dinner
They'll be like my sisters
And be like yo
Shut the fuck
What sister
What sister doesn't
Turn it off
What sister doesn't tell their brother day
I'd be like
Yo but damn
Yo you know
I'm legendary
I was about to give you all that shit
They're like
Yo we heard
Everything
Every way you can say this shit
Enough's enough
That's right
That's you
New York Knicks
Let's jump
Let's jump to the Knicks
I know you a knicker
Barker. At the beginning of the season, I had him going to the finals. I still am there.
You've been eight games in. You switched it already. No, no, I'm not happy. I'm not happy. So if I'm not happy, you're not happy about.
Defensively, they're not the same. They're still trying to figure out a rhythm under Mike Brown. So new coach. If it was Tibbs, I wouldn't be as worried. But with him, I'm worried because this new system. And you got to remember something. And I'm not blaming anybody. I understand how this goes on both sides. But Tibbs, rigid, tough.
hard, never stop, blah, blah, blah.
When a guy like McHale Bridges,
who's an Ironman, don't miss games at all,
looks at you and says,
yo, we need a break.
That's a bad sign.
Because you're not giving them a break.
He never asked for one.
Phoenix, Brooklyn, now the Knicks,
he never asked for one in his career.
That's not him.
He prized himself and he's known
for playing all the games,
but practically all the games.
So when he said that about Tibbs,
you got the feeling stuff
wasn't right. Secondly, you know, you look at them come playoff time. Tibs heard himself when
Kat got gympy and you took them out, then you saw Kat stepping in there finding a way to give
you quality minutes. And what you asked yourself was, well, where the fuck were they? How come you
you see them doing the season? Because if you see them doing the season, you got a better chemistry,
a better, cook rhythm, better. You know what I'm saying? They might play even better what you were doing.
You know World Wide West, you know Leon Rose. You know that's what they wanted. They
got these cats on the squad for a reason.
They want you to play him.
You didn't play him.
So that's problematic.
Now they bounced them after five years.
Resurrection the franchise.
Got you to the conference finals.
First time in 20-something years.
Got him to conference finals.
So now here's the deal.
Why are he gone?
Because you weren't feeling them as players.
So you got a cat in that you could feel that you are comfortable with.
Well, here's the problem with that.
Don't you usually have problems with coaches you comfortable with?
Them cats that can't get.
your ass that can't grind you when you need to be grinding.
They can't hold you accountable.
Now, I'm not saying that's Mike Brown, because Mike Brown will get your ass.
I'm sitting in front of Mike Brown and he's like, thanks, buddy.
You're really working hard.
Like, that ain't the fucking call.
I'm Bobby Knight.
Right, right.
What you said, don't give, don't give me.
We got to, no, no, no, no, he's winning.
I pray for him every night.
Saying he's too nice.
I would say he's too nice.
I'm just saying he is a nice guy, very nice guy.
but I've seen them getting people's ass before.
Okay.
He was in Sacramento.
Right now, you're like,
Yo, listen, right now, I heard him.
I bet I sat behind him in like three games.
Hey, buddy, nice try.
Go again.
I'm not with that shit.
I'm with, like, the pain.
I want to hear like, yo, get the fuck on the bench.
Oh, you won't play tomorrow.
I don't know what this shit is,
this nice guy shit, but he's winning.
Well, here's the problem.
No, but hold up.
Another problem.
This is the biggest problem.
but the biggest problem I have with Mike Brown
is total opposite of Tips.
Tills is playing them to late God.
I feel like Mike Brown ain't playing them enough.
He just keeps rotating so much.
I'm not with, no, because what he's trying to do
is build a bench and trying to preserve your legs
for the postseason, so you don't have no excuses.
You see what I'm saying?
It's hard for me for family.
When you got Mitchell Robertson and Carrey,
always hurt.
Fuck that.
No excuses.
If I got to play you,
you 30 or less. If I got to play you 30, and that's what it's going to take to make sure
you already come playoff time. What matters is April, May and June. And here's the thing.
The New York Knicks is the best chance they've had at the finals in 25 years. I'm going to tell you why.
Jason Tate and McKillies. Tyrese Halliburton, Killings. Damien Lillet, Killies left Milwaukee,
went back to Portland, right? Miles Turner doing this thing there as a center with Janus. We get
all of that part, but you should be able to beat them if you're the New York Knicks.
Orlando coming, but they shouldn't be there.
You should be able to beat them.
Indiana ain't to say, you should be able to beat them.
Boston without Taylor, you should be able to beat them.
I want to hear that shit.
This is it.
You got to get to the finals, okay?
If you don't get to the finals, it ain't going to be easier in the years to follow.
This is it.
And here's a deal.
These dudes had a chance to get yonnas.
Do you trade half the team, like for Camelo for young?
I get a dance.
steam away. You did it. I get it. I get it. I get it. I get me.
Janice? The Nick City dance is you to get my wife. I get everybody
way. I gave everybody. Let me test it right now. Let me test that right now.
Yonis? In New York? She, yes. In a heartbeat. I would not hesitate. It's
honest, though. There ain't no shade of disrespect to anybody. It's Janus.
I'm not, I'm not doing that. I don't know if I give away the whole week.
No, no, I ain't giving away Brunson. I ain't get away Brunston. I ain't get away Brunston.
Of course not. But you say. But you say, but you say,
this the first time
in 20-something years.
That we honestly believe
that we could go to the final
By default.
But do you give that up
for Janus?
Yes.
You know why?
Because I'm going to have a chance
to get to the finals
every year with Janus.
He didn't get to the finals
every day.
Brother champion, dog.
You say what you want.
Myfog got the finals and VIN.
He's incredible.
He's phenomenal.
He's phenomenal.
I don't trade the whole team, though.
And average is 30 and 12.
You trade the whole team.
You're full of shit, kiss.
We go off.
numbers, man.
The world goal did you disend what he said he's a final in the finals MVP and he has 30 and 12.
You trade the whole team.
Who average 30 and 12 on the Knicks, right?
That's OG and nobody.
Stop it.
Three people to get her.
You don't know what I'm saying.
You got to give up OG.
You got to give up Kat.
You got to give up like Brickett and some shit.
Go on.
I'm giving up.
You had to give up two of the three.
You had to give up two of the three.
You had to give up two of the three.
Two to three you just mentioned.
I'm giving up.
And I love them.
Go on.
I love Kat, Kat, Kat one of the best people I know.
That's the truth.
Cat one of the best people I know.
Cat can shoot the whole nine.
Ogen-Anobie.
Love is defensive tenacity, as toughness, the whole nine.
McKell Bridges, listen.
Hey back me, missy that.
Stay with this.
Stay with this.
Stay with me.
It's very important you hear this, especially you.
It's very important you hit this.
Nick's fan, it's very important you hear this shit.
McHell Bridges,
150 million.
He ain't worth five.
He's number 50 million.
He's worth every penny of the 150.
No more than that.
Five.
Not the five.
Not five.
One 50.
Here's a deal, y'all.
They traded five first round picks for him.
Five first round picks.
You got to do more for me.
You know what they paid.
If they had paid three first round picks and they had kept two of them for themselves, they'd had young.
They had nothing to give them.
You got those players, but you had no draft assets.
That's what Milwaukee got to get if you're going to.
lose Janus, it can't be just a couple of players.
It's got to be bad draft picks.
You don't have the draft capital.
So the only way you can get him is if he forces his way out of Milwaukee,
and he's not willing to do that yet because he feels he owes the organization in the city.
Let me ask you a question.
Are you seeing what I'm seeing with Wimbabobo?
Bro.
He's not going to get nobody's name right for the old show.
That's the wrong name?
Wimbiana.
Victor Wimbi Yombe yon.
Let me tell you something.
Everybody named fucked up.
Yeah.
I fuck everybody here.
Don't worry about it.
I saw Wimbiana open the night against Dallas when he dropped 40 and 15.
I cover the game.
See, all these are all these people talk about the game.
I cover it.
You know what I'm saying?
I got to call league office.
I got to find out shit all this.
I got to talk about issues, but I got to make sure I contextualize stuff properly
because you get information for all of this stuff, right?
I saw this brother step on the courts.
I said, oh, shit.
7-5 with a handle and a fallaway J.
And then watch this.
Remember I said, don't look at the numbers of his shot blocks.
Look at how quick he gets off the floor.
So remember, he ain't got to jump to dunk.
He's 7-5 and can dunk without jumping, okay?
But he can jump.
Not only that, he's quick with it.
The quickness off of his feet.
He'd be like this, y'all.
He'd be down.
If I come up in the lip
Yeah
Give me that shit
Nothing inside
Nothing on the interior
If you think football
A guy who put the pressure on the corner
But I'm just talking about the quickness
You scared to shoot
From Wendy is on the other things
That's right
Because it's like
The quickness with which he gets up
He don't even put his hands up
Because he knows it'll deter you from shooting
So he's like
You know what he reminds me of in a brand
It's a different sport
Totally different sport
This guy's great
Check out the analogy
Check out the analogy
Prime Time DMD
Remember how he used to act
Like he used to bait you and make you think you had a beat
And then the minute you threw it he went there and got it
Whimby stands with his hands down half the time
Because he wants you to shoot so he could snatch this shit out of the air
I've seen Anthony Davis injured
I've seen Anthony Davis struggle
But I know Anthony Davis on world average 20 and 12
When Wimbriana got in his ass
That brother
He looks like a fucking no bitch
He looked like you described yourself
Like little people.
He looked like depressed.
He looked like literally depressed.
Go back.
Whether you like Anthony Davis or not, that game, he made that boy look like a little boy.
He wasn't even a factor.
Because he was saying like this.
And Anthony Davis used to be the tall guy.
He made him look like nothing.
You look, we can end this.
The other day, I watched when he Yamba come down.
And he crossed this dude over maybe like six, seven times.
went coast to coast
Like it's disgusting
Like it's like a video game
He's going to be
He's going to be defensive player the year
And he got a chance to be
League MVP
He is FD Antonio
To get to the postseason
He will win
Defensive Player the Year
And League MVP
Does he need to get a little bit strong
Of course he does
Right right now
What you go see
At some point
And that's how you know
It's a different generation of players
Had he was playing in the 90s
Or the 80 to the money
He got hurt him.
He's too skinny.
We're going to hurt him.
They're going to chop him down the side.
They had him had him scared to be on the interior because he'd have been getting it here, here, all that's a.
You're going to have him.
And you can't blame him because what you're going to do was 7-5.
7-5.
And you can play like that.
And then Houston, I'm watching Houston, and I'm looking at teams because I'm trying to look at teams that got a real shot to, like, go against them and compete against them.
Dallas Healthy with Lively, Gafford.
You could get one once, Kyrie comes back.
Of course, you could do that.
Houston, opening night, they started four cats, six feet 11.
Or taller.
Chagoon, Kevin, you know, Kevin Durant, to Barry Smith, the whole thing.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm in Thompson, 6'8, the brother's going to be a star.
Perfect.
You see what I'm just, he does.
I'm saying to you, you need that against Wimbayana.
And I'm talking about defensively.
Offensively, don't even think about shooting the ball aside.
Not with him in the vicinity.
He's coming to get it.
So that's what I'm watching right now.
I feel like it's winning by Yambah's league.
As of next year, hands down,
because he already said he's going to take the paid cut,
come bring somebody nice over here.
Basil, Castle, Castle, those cats, they can play.
They can play.
And De Aaron Fox is coming back.
He's going to go back now.
So it's like they got a little crew.
And the Aaron Fox, first of all,
I don't know if you notice.
That is the only basketball argument
I've ever gotten into
where Irvin Magic Johnson.
Over who? What was that?
De Aaron Fox.
What was that?
I was the one begging them.
Don't draft Lonzo Ball.
Draft De Aron Fox.
I said you caught up in Chino Hills.
You caught up in UCLA.
You caught up in the local
product coming to the
Lake Show. I said
Deeran Fox bust his ass.
The Aaron Fox is that dude.
I respect Lonzo, but he ain't
this cat. I'm telling you right
Now, De Aaron Fox is the one to take.
Magic Argy Me said it's a business decision.
I said that.
Basketball winning is best business.

Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what?
We have some big news.
What's the news, name?
Huge news.
We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas.
We invented a podcast?
Well, we didn't invent it.
We just contributed to it.
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.
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.
we 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.

My business partner
I just said one of the
stupidest things he ever said
Since we started filming
I need you to
Please explain this to him
And he still might not listen to you
As smart and knowledgeable as you are
He's still going to give some
Some deflection
He said Brown is on the trading block
Who LeBron?
Right now before he ever played the game
There's no trickle he has no trickles
Can you tell them, ladies?
Ladies and gentlemen.
Listen.
Can you tell him, get you, we understand that.
Listen to the profession.
I mean, he could get traded, but he has to okay it.
But if I would, I mean, I'm going to, I think he's going to, okay.
I believe dead serious.
And I said this in the offseason before.
I said, LeBron should approve getting out and going to Cleveland and joining Donovan Mitchell.
That's right.
They'll easily be in the final.
They will easily be in the finals.
Simon Donovan Mitchell, you've got to keep one of the bigs.
Mowgli, of course, Alan, Lott.
Right?
They're going to the finals.
Here's the problem, though.
That was before I saw Luca average in 40.
And Austin Reeves were 51.
Oh, no, at 51.
You see this guy?
This guy.
But Austin's not going to do that with LeBron and Luca on the floor.
No, it's not.
Because LeBron is going to take up space.
They're going to take up space.
My thing is, LeBron Jane, stuck his chin out.
Right.
Okay, I don't want to repeat this.
I said some shit.
This guy almost fought me.
He got up, fuck out of here.
He can't even...
And he sounded like KG.
I wakes up the next morning after we do the podcast,
and I'm looking at...
Paul Pierce say the same shit I say word for word.
The truth is crazy.
He said, the truth is saying the truth.
What did he say?
He said, LeBron, you know,
he even got to come off the best.
He's going to get traded.
Now.
That's ignorant.
No, no, it's not.
It's not.
It is.
All right, let me ask you a question.
It is.
You're a Lakers fan.
Right.
I do roof.
No, no, no.
Your Lakers, you're Jimmy Iving.
And May and Jim.
Jimmy Iving says, of course,
side every game, right?
So do I.
Not every game, but I got you.
Everybody want to build.
Everybody won a younger team
so they can have a run.
Cool.
They're watching these games that
LeBron got the sciatica
and the white boys just drop us
51 and 41, bro.
And they're young and they, what, whack, whack.
He comes, he got to do the LeBron and slow everything up.
Let's hope he's doing okay.
20 seasons of doing it has a no-trade.
I know that.
What I'm saying is, do you, all right, let's say he don't have that.
So you just sit there and watch the bomb and slow it up and fuck up the chemistry?
No, I'm not, no, well, first of all, that's not true.
You got to give LeBron more credit than that.
Here's the deal.
Let me explain.
LeBron did what he did.
Because he started out every season and you put the ball in his hands
and you didn't have anybody else that you could do that with.
You tried to do it with Kyrie.
He was younger.
It was a bad motherfucker, but not necessarily ready for that.
You understand?
You in Miami, you gave it to D. Wade.
That's the year y'all lost to the finals.
And D. Wade had to have a talk with you and say,
yo, we ain't going to never be what we need to be unless the ball is in your hands
because you're the best in the world.
So they had to facilitate that.
He goes back to Cleveland.
Of course, that's the way to go because even though Kyrie was ascending,
the team had it won more than 33 games in any season that he was there
because LeBron and Kevin Love wasn't there with him.
So you come back, you give LeBron,
and he take you straight to the finals for straight years, all right?
So you got that going on.
So you got it.
So I'm breaking it down for you.
All that shit means, nothing.
All right, so are you on me set up?
No, no.
I'm trying to help.
I'm trying to help.
I told he wasn't going to even listen to you.
Exactly.
So what I'm saying to you is that he goes to L.A.
He does the same thing.
as far the time has creeped in,
it still didn't stop him from getting to the West finals
three years ago with the Lakers.
When him and the Anthony days,
if you don't run into Yokic, you're back in the finals.
You lose in the first round in next year,
but you lost the Yolkich in the first round.
You ran into the monster.
So I'm simply saying to you,
historically, LeBron has shown
he can figure out what he needs to do
where he doesn't hurt the team.
The problem now is
Austin Reeves is coming.
J.J. Reddick and them
have fostered that development.
And even if LeBron comes
in there, right? The challenge
for LeBron now, the challenge
for LeBron is you've always
been a winner.
So now that you see what
Luca is doing and
what Reeves can do,
are you going to fuck it up?
Or are you going to figure
out how you mesh in.
Because now it's a little bit different.
Let's give LeBron this cross.
And I'm saying he won't mess it up.
I'm saying they ain't going to be worse with him.
LeBron is good for 25 a night.
It's just how has he going to get it?
Are you going to get it by taking the ball from Reeves and Luca?
Or are you going to take it by fitting in with them and letting them feed you?
That's the deal.
Are you going to shoot threes or are you going to take your ass down in the post?
Listen, you're acting like you.
I'm hating on LeBron.
I'm not hating on.
I didn't say you all.
I'm just saying that he can do it.
He just took the day off.
I don't know what it is.
I need new ears.
No, no, no.
I'm just being realistic.
And what I'm trying to tell you is just because you are all that fame.
Listen, just because you are Hall of Famer and you was good in 2010.
LeBron will come back at age 41 with Skyatica and easily average 22 to 25 a game.
Okay.
I'm just telling you.
Now, how he does it matters because of who you go.
on up against Al West.
No question.
And no question.
They would trade him if they could.
But why?
Because of his age and you've got Lucas the future and Lucas 26.
And you want young cats to play, not somebody who's 41 and on his way out in the next year to.
That's what that's about.
It's not because of LeBron's game.
It's not because of a LeBron's game.
It's because of his age.
And the fact that you want to get younger.
Of course.
That's all.
LeBron James, the king.
Is Houston going to get a point goal?
or they're going to work it out like that?
They're going to have to get a point guard,
but I will tell you,
they love our man Thompson's development
in terms of him going,
because the brother's going to be a star.
This brother's a dog.
He's going to show up on the court.
He plays one of the twins.
He plays lockdown defense,
ain't scared of nobody,
athletically freakish,
got to work on his jump shot,
but I love his game
and got a bunch of heart.
But you do need a pure point guard out there
or at least a sniper,
because that's where Fred Van Ville was.
You need a sniper.
You need that,
because you can't just have KD doing it.
You got to have somebody for him to feed the ball to that can drill it from three.
That's a threat that will enable them to spread the floor and have opposing defense as not being able to key on him so much.
That's what you need to do.
And if you can do that, then you'll be all right with Houston.
Detroit real.
I think they're real enough to be a threat in the East.
And this is the thing about Detroit that's interesting.
First of all, okay, cut of him as a star.
Get that out of the way right now.
True.
That brother is the start.
The whole team is dangerous.
I think Malik Beasley being out hurts them the whole bit, you know, for his troubles and all that stuff, no doubt.
But I think that with Duren and Stewart, they got Biggs that they putting out there that's
Vice Harris got hurt.
You look in at a certain situation, they were affected.
Their plus minus was more effective with them on the court than them one coming off the bench
and, you know, subbing for one another.
And Detroit wants New York.
Like, Bickerstaff told me flat out.
He said, he said, I still think the Dix would be there, but they're going to have to work cut off of
Detroit is like this.
We want them dudes.
Biggests says, we ain't losing to them no more.
It's that kind of energy.
So I think it's going to be very interesting to see what happens.
I think a legitimate argument can be made
that Cleveland and Detroit are the top two threats
to the Nixon Eastern Conference.
That's a fact.
Orlando's coming now.
Orlando.
Orlando's coming up.
Desmond Bayne Pickle.
Bing Chiro.
Ben Chiro.
Ben Caro.
Not Charo.
Ben Carro.
Ben Carro?
Ben Carre.
The man is dangerous.
Yeah.
He's big time.
And Wagner's not bad either.
Wagner's not.
Farns Vodon's not.
Franz Vodding.
He's not bad either.
But Desmond Bain, they were the worst three-point shooting,
one of the worst three-point shooting teams the last two years.
That's why they went out and traded multiple picks
that did Desmond Bain because the brother could drill it from throughout.
I know, he's really good.
Yeah.
Man, the season is glider in eight games.
You know what I'm saying?
It's exciting.
Yeah.
I'm watching everything.
I was shout out my brother, we need 40 on the show.
Definitely.
Now, but we really need E40 on the show, guys.
I got a jump to the NFL.
I think the lower-tier teams
right now I'm saying
this Seattle.
I'm saying this.
Seattle might be the best team in NFC.
Let's talk about.
They got some rough riders on defense.
They can run the ball.
They definitely got this boy in Jigba.
That's a badass wire receiver.
They just picked up Rashid Shaheed from New Orleans.
And he's a deep threat for you.
You can spread the field.
It all comes down to Sam Donald, though.
Sam Donald, formerly of the New York Jets,
wasn't that due. We didn't know what kind of career he was going to have. And then he turns around
and go to Minnesota last year, and they started out the season 14 and 2. Now, the problem was
they were celebrating like they won some shit before the last game in a regular season. And that
was for the division crown against Detroit. And you forgot you had to play them and they kicked your
ass. They win the game to the number one seed in the NFC, which means they have home field
advantage throughout the playoffs. You lose the game, you're a wild card, you fall to the fifth seed,
and then you ended up going against the Rams on the road,
and they kicked your ass.
So the last game of the regular season,
you lose to Detroit, the last, the first game of the players,
you lose to the Rams,
and you bounced out, and that's how your season ended.
He was playing on a one year, $10 million contract.
So he's playing on a one year $10 million contract, right?
He was about to get paid,
and so he goes out in a free agent market,
and Seattle pays him 33 and a half million.
And so he goes and he takes that money.
Minnesota goes to ride of playing a rookie and J.J. McCarthy.
Right?
Not thinking about how that's going to compromise,
Justin Jefferson and Addison and those boys.
And that's why they're struggling to some degree.
And, you know, Seattle's thriving.
So it really comes down to Seattle's defense is so good
that it really comes down to their quarterback.
Is your quarterback going to show up?
Literally, what you have to ask about Seattle is,
is Sam Donald going to show up and produce for them?
Frags.
Is the Giants going to get Lane Kippen?
I don't know about all that.
I don't know somebody.
I don't know if you want him.
He's great at college.
I don't know how great he would be at the pros, number one.
Number two, you've got to get some more players.
They just fired the coach.
Brian Dable.
I felt bad for him because he was the coach of the years.
She'll love the coach's season, though.
I agree, but the problem is they were losing all these damn double-digit fourth quarter games.
You had double-digit leads, you know, against Denver.
Denver, you lost, it gave a 33 points in the fourth quarter to Denver.
You can't have it.
You should have fired that game.
That's right.
The out of five is that.
He would have took bus home.
He wouldn't have.
in that flight director on the play.
So you get fired after the result of one game?
Yeah.
They can fire you whenever they want to.
Fire you whatever you want.
See, I'm different.
When people get fired through the season,
they let you fly home and all that.
I'm the kind of cat that if you were that bad,
you were that piss poor.
I'm giving you a ticket flying another plane or you taking a bus.
Get the hell out.
I'm out.
I mean, I'm done with you.
Then to lose like that, I don't go home.
Just go home with your family.
You know what I'm saying?
Pay you.
So who do you think going to take it this year?
It's hard to say I'm still at Seattle.
Listen, anybody in the NFC, Philly, Green Bay, Detroit, Chicago, all three in the division right now,
AFC North, Tampa Bay in the South, and every team in the NFC West.
Seattle, L.A., San Fran, even though San Fran, just lost to L.A. and Arizona.
I'm not fair, I take Arizona out of the mix, but those three, San Francisco, L.A., Seattle.
So you got all of those teams.
I think Philly should be the favorite because they just know how to win.
No matter what the rest of circumstance, they find a way different ways to beat you.
And I still have not ruled out the possibility as indie as good as indie looks,
as good as New England looks now that they got Drake May.
And you feel Baltimore on the come up now that they started one and five,
but now they're only a game out of first place behind the Steelers
because the Steelers are nose diving as usual.
You look at Denver, Kansas City, the Chargers, and the AFC West.
I just think
Kansas City is still going to be there
because of that damn Patrick Mahal.
Guys, I'm a fan wagging in football.
That's right.
I don't know much about football.
I do know I love Kansas City.
You know what I'm saying?
Patrick Mahon is the coolest.
And I think Travis Kelsey retires after this year,
goes against Mary, you know, does his podcast and all that little stuff.
Yeah, you know, he's going to have all of that.
I think the only, me personally, I never asked him about it,
but I think the only reason Travis Kelsey is back this year,
is because of how the Eagles kick their ass
to the Super Bowl.
If he doesn't lose that Super Bowl,
I think he wins out.
He goes out.
I like that.
And even if you lose,
you can't go out like that.
That can't be your last memory.
That was the way to go out.
Where you were in the third quarter
sitting on the bench shaking your head then,
we get in that ass game.
You know what I'm thinking here?
You can't have that.
That can't be your last game.
You know what I'm here thinking
and we brought up the Dodgers,
Yankees earlier.
The Asian brother.
I'm definitely going to get his job.
Show hair, Tony?
Showing time.
Is he the greatest baseball bag of all time?
He might be.
I just interviewed Dave Roberts and manager of the audience.
I just interviewed Jay Roberts and manager to Dargis.
He says nobody in the history of baseball was a better hitter than Barry Bucks.
He said, but Shohei Otani is the greatest in the world.
And when you take into account that he pitches as well as hits, he is the greatest as Babe Ruth.
But the caveat was, understand nobody was a better hitter than Barry Bonds.
So Barry Barnes is a better hit
than show hit him.
Is it better hit it
than everybody?
He is the greatest I've ever seen.
He's the greatest I've ever seen.
Are you listening?
Are you resisting?
I'm listening.
What I'm saying to you
is a guy named Showantani
that won two chips in a row
that pitched the whole
fucking game.
And every time he backs,
I feel like he's going to hit a home run.
The guy is fucking
out of this world.
He's out of this world.
He's out of this world.
But last year in the World Series,
he did nothing.
Yeah.
And this year,
Game 7, he's on a mound.
He's done that gave up the 3-1-HOMO.
And they went to there.
They smacked them out of there.
Smacked them out of it.
But in fairness to him,
it's because he was tired.
But he still went to the plate.
But he still went to the plate and got some hits.
Kiss, my life growing up,
no matter how good the player was,
they always had a hitter for him.
Mm-hmm.
I never seen a guy.
We're talking about that last game.
But the game before that, I see him striking everybody out.
Then he gets up there and he hits three home runs.
And one, like, this shit is like...
He had a legendary game.
He had a historic game that's going to be in the books forever.
But the last game of this year...
What Reggie Jackson hit when he was in the year?
Three home runs.
Three home runs.
This guy pitched the game.
And it closed out game.
And it closed out.
And he was Mr. October.
That's why he called him Mr. October
because Dave Winfield didn't hit in the playoffs.
Steinbrenner called him Mr. May.
Of course, Mr.
May.
Mr. May is in a month of May.
Oh, Mr. May.
He called the Mr. May because he hit him.
He would hit him.
He couldn't.
He couldn't.
Steinbrenner.
Steinbrenner was crazy.
You know what happened to me, man.
You met him?
Mm-hmm.
Of course he did.
I'm on 132nd in Park Avenue
since back in the day.
These are true story.
I don't even think cell phones was out yet.
I don't think cell phone.
Nobody had a cell phone.
And I'm not talking about George Stambron.
I'm talking about Phil Zuto.
Right?
So a car gets stuck.
1.30 second at Park Avenue, you got the welfare.
You got the sanitation department.
You got pimps and holes.
Yes, right.
You got crack in the heroin.
This shit is a terrible zone to get stuck at, right?
Obviously, that was my life.
I lived there.
But the car stops.
And I look, it's a white man,
fucking Phil Rizudo.
Phil Rizudo gives me a thing.
He said, kid, come here, this, this, that.
He said, can you please call this number
and tell him that Phil Rizudo
was stuck in a hundred thirty-second in park?
The motherfuckers came in like two minutes, bro.
They took him out of that car.
They told that car to the point I couldn't even convince
the motherfucker on the block.
Phil Rizudo was stuck there.
It's before cell phones.
Remember?
He used to call the game, Phil Wuzuto.
He got stuck there.
He gave me the number.
He disappeared in five minutes they came over that break.
Took the car, everything.
He was gone.
I was like, yo, I'm watching them on TV that night.
I said, yo, I don't even want to tell a story.
That was like original cat.
Nobody was going to believe that.
That was the first cap ever.
That was the first cap ever.
Mawfucker would have been like,
yo, my man, you ain't seen, but it happened.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean.
you? No, no. I know you ain't making the shit up.
It happened. I was a kid. I made the call. They came. I could not believe.
It was nice for you to make the call because he's nervous to have.
Oh, my.
Hell yeah. I don't want those.
I don't get off. I don't want those. I'm going to shit. We're from the streets.
We're comfortable on the streets. But if it ain't the streets, you know.
That's where you make it. It's what you make it. It ain't about the street that the element
don't scare you. It's the people because it's who you know and who you don't know.
This is a terrible place. That's right. That's right. But if you're from there, if you
front there is cool. Welfare, the free cheese. If you front there, it's cool.
It's normal habitat. It's normal to me. But you could go to good.
Shit, I'm in Hollis. I ain't worried about shit. I'm in the Bronx. I ain't worried about shit.
Depending on where you at. But in certain spots, well, I don't know this.
You know what's crazy? I woke up this morning, man. I was telling my wife, I said they had this guy, man.
You know, my uncle owned the bodega there, right, which is really a number spot.
But we had this. We had this. You go ahead.
Break your news. Every bodega is.
Every one of them.
They had this old school man.
He had to be 70 years old, man.
He come up in, he go, hey, I want your buddy boy.
He always bought a 40-0s.
I want your buddy boy.
I want your partner.
Every day, I mean, that shit was so, to this day, all these years later,
I remember his voice.
He used to come in there, hey, buddy boy, I want your partner.
What is he?
You know, it's a bob shot I won three, two Park Avenue.
That's where Rob Bays and Easy Rock from.
You know what I'm saying?
Man.
You know, that's crazy, man.
Is the new, one of his shows is new when they're ready?
Yeah, no.
What happened is that, so I had negotiated my contract with the-
Oh, Doe.
And when I did the contract with the ESPN, we had a-
20 million league.
That's what they say.
I don't, I can need the firm.
No, I count pockets here.
I don't, you know.
That's how I keeps my pockets, but not-ta-
But anyway, but I'm not poor.
So what happened is, so I did my deal.
I did my deal with ESPN.
It was announced.
in April.
What people didn't realize is that
we had agreed to the number
in October. The issue
for me and the fight all of those
months was my rights, my freedom.
Because
for all of these years,
and I told this to cats like
Shannon Club Shay Shay
and, you know, Ryan, Claude,
Dre and all of them
got their podcast. I said, you have to understand
if you're from the hip-hop industry,
if you're athletes and all of that stuff,
to cats in the street, y'all are role models because of your talent.
To somebody like me, I've always looked up to y'all because of the freedom.
That's right.
See, I view y'all as people who are brave enough to invest in yourself
and to be like, I'm not going to capitulate to the system.
That's why you can always tell when you see people in the media,
all these people hating on cats, it's like they don't, you know, they don't get it.
You see what I'm saying?
Because everybody ain't suited for corporate America.
You understand?
And so when you legitimately find a way to make it
and you bet on yourself like y'all did,
ain't enough of love and admiration for that.
And so I would look at that and I would tell,
I remember one time I had this conversation with Shannon Sharp,
I said, you have to understand that as an athlete,
you made money as an athlete.
And so you come into this business with money
nobody in media ever made.
You got that cushion to be able to take a chance on yourself
and bet on yourself.
So you're non-employee.
You're an independent contractor status.
So you're getting this money.
You have to understand.
I was working for ESPN since 2003.
I was an employee.
I'm working for the New York Dill News, Philadelphia Enquirer.
I'm an employee.
Which not only means they're paying me a salary,
it means they have all my rights.
Like, literally before April,
if ESPN said,
yo, I come to them,
I'm going on Jada Kiss with Fat Joe.
They could have said no.
Literally.
I'm 58 years up.
Fight and fight and fight in all of these years
for your rights to get from under that,
to do your own thing.
And so I calculated when I got let go in 2009,
I blamed myself ultimately
because I was so busy,
up in the hype and everybody talking about Stephen A, this, that, I didn't master the business.
I didn't know my leverage.
I didn't know my rights.
Joe, come up to me, always showed me love.
Jayda, come up to me, always show me love.
Got love for y'all too.
Y'all know that.
Y'all always coming up to me.
And I'm like, I'm looking at y'all like, email fucking got rights.
I don't have.
You know what I'm saying?
And it was like, it was sickening to me that I didn't have that freedom with how much love
I was getting, but I didn't have that kind of latitude, that leverage.
And I said, no more.
Like, if I don't bet on me now, I never will.
I can't be that cat that don't have the coverage.
So I was willing to put everything on the line.
And I was lucky enough to have a good boss.
I got a good boss in Jimmy Petar, the co-chairman of Disney,
that ran and runs ESPN.
And he's got a lot of love for me and treats me up.
He said, Stephen, I don't want to lose you.
We can't lose you.
He said, I'm willing to give you X amount.
of dollars. He said, you got to understand
that it's Disney, it's a board and shareholders,
it's all of this. So no matter how much
money people think we got, we got overhead, we got bills,
but I can give you a certain amount.
He said, but
if you willing to stay
for this amount,
I'll let you go do whatever
you want to do. Just make sure
you give me first tape.
And I said, you got
yourself a deal. So when that
happens, then I go
because Sirius X-M
came called. There's a lot of people call
Syria got money like that?
Sirius got money like Dan, but they got some money.
They got some money now.
He said, I ain't, I don't, I ain't free
and I don't come cheap. No, no. So, what
happened is the SBN gave me this joint.
Sirius XM comes.
And they're like, we want you too.
So it's money on top of that money.
Like that. On the sports side,
right? Which, by the way,
it ain't just a salary.
It ain't just a salary.
I own the show.
So we split the profits.
Then I got my political show.
Number one is seven weeks.
You know, you're trying to go to the President of the United States.
I see it all day, Steve.
I'm with you, though.
You think I'm trying to do it.
Yeah, I know you're trying to do the shit.
I'm not really trying to do this shit.
Y'all, Steve, you want this shit.
I don't.
You want it.
I'm telling you.
I'll never lie to you.
Here's what I would tell you.
And I do mean this part.
I'm not giving up my money.
I work 12 that money.
I ain't giving my money for a $400,000 salary and all that stress.
Yeah.
Fuck that.
But they get $400,000 salary and they leave with $95 million.
That's cool.
But they figured the shit out.
A black man, I got the count on you making sure I'm good on the back end.
When I already got it on the front end,
now if I'm Obama, who was a community organizer before he became a senator, right?
That's different.
If I'm somebody like, if I'm one of these politicians or whatever,
you know, got a regular job and making a few hundred thousand is different.
That's not my situation.
I get it.
So I'm not giving up my paper.
But I will tell you this.
Here's where it becomes intriguing.
Number one, the one thing I know I would love to do is to be on the debate stage against the politicians.
My brother, you think you see me on first take.
I will tell you this.
I would never.
You wouldn't see me.
You wouldn't see me for like a month to two months.
every single day I would be hunkered down
just to make sure I knew the issues
and when I show up on stage
or debate against politicians
you will see me in a state of mind
you have never seen me before
I won't miss shit
I'd be on a mission to eat everybody alive
like that would be me
so because of what I believe
that most of the problems
we have in this world
are because of the politics
What I'm saying is that I'm one of those guys.
I'm a registered independent.
I'm not a Democrat or Republican.
I'm mostly both Democrat, but I don't think Democratic.
There's Republican policies I agree with.
There's liberal policies that I agree with.
But I think that the by that exists is because they've spent so much time hating on each other and swearing up and down, whatever side loses, Armageddon's going to arrive.
So what happens is whatever side you on, you pissed off because your side didn't win.
And it's like, yo, we losing this.
You know, it's immigration.
You open in the borders.
They're sitting up there invading the medical system.
That's why our taxes are so high.
Nah, you know, you let folks in.
So guess what?
That's why crime is existing in the street.
No, you ain't focusing on the economy.
All of this other stuff, you're scaring the living shit out of the American people.
And we going at each other when, in fact,
If we didn't have those problems, we all be cool.
You can't tell me, I'm like, listen, I consider it ain't just black people.
Hispanics, my brothers and sisters.
I grew up my shit.
Have my family's Hispanic.
You understand what I'm good, you know, got nothing but love for us.
My point is, is that don't tell me we divide it.
Y'all divide us because y'all ain't handling shit.
It trickles down to us.
And then we butt in heads because of the shit y'all ain't doing.
So who's the person that.
We'll call them out.
I think we know me well enough to know.
I won't shy about that shit.
Get on.
And so that is what I think about.
Now, I don't want to campaign.
And what I mean by that is I got to beg for money
because I got to have money for commercials and campaigns.
That's what I don't want to do.
But if you told me I ain't had to do that shit
and then, yo, man, I can be on my radio show every day
and I can be on TV.
And I ain't got to do that shit.
And you telling me that just doing my work every day
and campaigning and promoting and promoting.
promoting and marketing myself for a presidency, and that could put me in the White House?
Yeah, I do it.
I'll do it, Dan.
Yeah, I do it.
Absolutely.
Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers.
And guess what?
We have some big news.
What's the news, name?
Huge news.
We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas.
We invented a podcast?
Well, we didn't invent it.
We just contributed to it.
We're the first people to do podcasts.
Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there.
But this one's extra special.
So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys?
I honestly don't remember.
I think it was on a call about what we should call it.
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.

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.
Jen she went.
I mean, she went down in three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted.
She's an outsider to win the French, 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.

Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports.
Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the enhanced games.
Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human between.
Either way, the podcast Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year.
Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds.
I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth.
Listen to Superhuman on the I-Hard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
You know it's crazy, right?
Because I'm a sucker for a good pastor.
They can give me the word and everything.
But the minute they start saying that shit, yo, you could donate.
If you really love me, it's $10,000.
You can't trust nothing.
Don't this.
I can't take it.
I can't take it.
You motherfuckers just told me shit.
I'm ready to fix my whole family existence.
Exactly.
He's speaking to me like God is talking directly to me.
But the minute he starts the shit, yo.
The minute they bring up the money.
A thousand dollars to come through.
Ten thousand to make you.
I'm looking at this shit.
I'm like, damn, you have me, bro.
Like, I'm fucking with you.
Yep.
No, it's the same.
That's what you're saying.
I go to Christian Cultural Center in Brooklyn.
Pastor A.R. Bernard, that's my man.
Oh, that's my God.
You did exes funeral, man.
That was incredible.
We have years.
35 years.
That's the only past.
I mean, I love him to death.
That's my, that's my spiritual father.
That's these good people.
So you paid gods to that guy?
Yes.
Yes.
I wouldn't hesitate.
Whatever he needs.
I know one of the biggest pastors in the world.
Right.
One day I'm walking through the airport.
He said, you're Joe.
I need a check for the church.
I said, let me tell you some of the pastor.
That's never happened with me.
That's never happened with me.
You denied the pastor?
You didn't even be a pastor, check?
I'm telling y'all the truth.
I said, pastor, I'm going to write you to check.
Don't ever fucking try me like that again.
That's right.
Don't ask me for no shit.
Like, I'm going to check.
And I don't blame you.
My pastor's never done that.
My pastor's never asked me for a dime.
I just give
I just give when I can't
I want the free word
Where can we get the
Is there a free church?
And it's the free
And it's true this
And see you like the free word
I love the word
I can't
I don't go to church
For the music and all that
Now I want to hear the word
I want to hear that shit
I want to hear the word
The only other past I ever love
Was Martin
Because Martin's my favorite sitcom
Leon Lani Love
Yeah
I don't say it
I mean he is David Allen
That's hilarious
That's the best shit after
Best shit ever.
Martin might be the best show.
Oh, yes.
Ever.
You want to know what's crazy?
Just, you know, sometimes I sleep
and I just let Martin play.
And the new episodes show up that I never heard.
No, I ain't no, ain't no new one.
I thought I knew everything.
We just didn't watch the last season.
Yeah, I'm like, yo.
Gina and him separated.
And it wasn't as fun without Gina.
I can't believe this shit.
How does it come on?
I can't believe I see a new Martin episode.
The shit is show.
I was like, yo.
It's not new.
It's not new.
We just didn't catch it.
We didn't catch it.
I thought I caught them all.
No.
After Gina left, we weren't interested.
Let me ask you.
Let me ask you.
Let me ask you.
Let me ask you.
Back to the politics.
Yes.
Mondan.
Problem.
What?
Problem?
Break that down.
Because free ain't reality.
Free buses,
free grocery stores.
You're seeing free child care.
It ain't free.
Nothing's free in this world.
And nobody should know that better than
minorities in this country.
Whether there's black or Hispanics,
no one should.
ever failed to know that.
What he means is the redistribution of wealth.
Here's the problem with the redistribution of wealth
in the capitalistic society.
You can tax an extra 2% to cash.
You can put an election 11.5% to 15% on capital gains tax.
But if you do anything that messes with small business owners,
if you do anything that messes with big business owners,
and they take their business elsewhere.
How are you going to pay the bills?
You don't have people employed.
They ain't making money.
They're going to be more dependent on the government,
and the government's going to have to come out of pocket more to take care of them.
Well, how are you going to pull that off?
You've got to get the money from somewhere,
so it's always going to trickle down to the middle class,
to the lower class.
It's fool's goal to think that you can just simply choose
to tax people who are making money all the damn time
and continue to raise tax.
And then he's, he's been on a record.
That's why they call him a communist,
because he's talked about seizing properties.
That's communism.
That's Marxism.
So when he tries shit like that and you hear in that kind of language.
So you believe in all that?
I believe in all that what?
The shit they say.
No, no, I'm saying.
I'm looking at Instagram.
No, I'm against that shit.
They got a white guy on the train and they're playing the Muslim.
Oh, no, stop.
It's like, they moved out of New York.
I moved out of New York last year.
I got a spot in Florida.
I had no state in because you know that I called you.
I called you when I first got there.
I'm out.
He got out of it.
You know what I said?
I got an apartment in New York for when I got to be here.
My daughter's here like that.
Sure, fine.
But I got, my home is in Florida.
I'm out.
He got that shit.
I'm out.
I already did it.
So my dammy's fucking up, New York.
No, I'm not going to say, listen.
Why would you?
Listen, that's what the bad is saying.
No, he didn't.
I'm worried that his policies won't.
work. I'm not saying that his heart is in the wrong place. We should all want to look out for the
impoverished. We should all want to look out for the little man that needs a come up. But the way
he's talking about doing it is totally disrupting the system. The system's not going to let that
happen. You see what I'm saying now what you have to worry about, and you also have to worry
about the collateral damage, because I'm going to tell you what the Republican is going to do. They
are going to quote him, you know, him being a Muslim. They're going to quote him when he called
by hating Israel.
They're going to quote him when he said,
I would have Netanyahu,
Prime Minister of Israel,
arrested on the spot
the minute he stepped in New York City.
They're going to quote him
on the free bus rides,
the free supermarkets,
the free childcare.
They're going to talk all of that shit.
They're going to compare it
to non-capitalist societies
like Venezuela,
Cuba, others.
And they're going to say
that's what you want.
That's what the Democratic Party is.
Because they're going to use AOC,
They're going to use people like Bernie Sanders and say,
that's what they're doing.
And it's going to get the country to say,
we ain't accepting that.
Go through it.
Come on, man.
Y'all perform everywhere.
You go through other parts of the country.
They ain't trying to hear this shit.
They're telling you, don't come here with that shit.
Don't even think it.
And they let you know.
So it's like they're going to use it to win the general
so they can maintain power over the federal.
And they can make sure.
So you think they're going to win that when you go midterm.
Oh, yeah.
That's what they're going to do.
They're going to use it.
They're going to use it.
And that's what they're going to.
So Gavin Newsom in California, got to make a decision.
You know, listen, I've talked to a lot of these people.
You know what I'm saying?
On my show in seven weeks.
Governor Josh Shapiro, Pennsylvania, Governor Spencer Cox, Utah, Senator Lindsey Graham, South Carolina,
Bill O'Reilly and Bill Maher from RealT Sports, Senator Joe Manchin,
Governor Pritzker from Illinois, House Speaker Leader, Hakeem Jeffries, Representative Chip Roy,
Cuomo and Mom Ghani
called in at the last minute
with eight minutes left after he heard Cuomo
on my show, all right,
instead of sit down for a full interview
with me before the election,
thinking slick.
I saw that shit.
But then, and then you got the shutdown going on
and I had representative
Jim Jordan, the chief, you know,
for the Senate, you just every, I'm sorry,
not for the, uh,
Jim Jordan is mad as hell.
That's right, right?
And I had, and I had speaker of the house,
Mike Johnson.
That's why I had,
that's why he shows number one.
That's why I had the damn right.
I'm not playing.
They talking about shit.
I'm talking to the people that's making shit happen.
So I'm saying to you, all of this shit's going down.
And it's like, you can see they plot.
They're talking about, I said up that.
Y'all going to get the shut down.
Do you got how fuck you're going to sit up there and pay yourselves, but don't pay people that,
federal workers or whatever.
They said, yo, Stephen, they ain't not.
So I'm like, I'm getting on them.
And then they're saying, listen, a continual resolution is just money that keeps the government running.
same bill all the time.
And four years under Biden,
we signed the shit 13 times.
So they hating on Trump, Stephen A?
That ain't on us.
I said, yo, but what about Trump?
Ain't he the art of the deal?
Find the way to get shit done.
So it's pressure on both of them,
especially as the holidays are rolling up.
Trump can't possibly, look,
just saying the political show,
but what I do know is,
I know a couple of billionaires
and hundreds of millionaires.
They can't possibly know
what the hard working average man is going through.
Right.
Billionnaires, bro.
You got the flip side.
You got Mondami saying he's going to give him shit.
But don't always say that, Joe, you can't always say that.
Joe, you can't always say that.
Joe, you ain't broke.
You ain't broke.
No, don't you know how motherfuckuckettuck is suffering?
Listen, yes, I do.
That's right, you do.
The Dominicans on my block with my stores at literally was telling me when Trump was going
for president, Trump going to come, free rent, free this.
They gave that PPP.
thought PPP was coming.
You can't put it on-
Right now they ain't even got snap.
You hold it, but you can't put it on Trump.
Because in that, and talk about what he said
what you said the Dominican said,
because Trump ain't never told a motherfucker shit
going to be free.
Yeah, but they think that.
No, he ain't never said that. No, he ain't never said that.
No, but they think that.
Okay, but that ain't the problem.
Middle America think because Trump is a big business man,
he's just going to roll through
and give money out to everybody,
which is not true, brother.
But what I'm saying to you is that
at the end of the day, this is the biggest thing that we have to understand. And it's not
politics as life in this regard. When Trump won, America said he closer to the normal
than the Democratic Party. Get back to normalcy. Talk about affordability. Talk about safety.
Talk about the economy. When you're talking about the border? When you talk about the border,
Obama deported more people than Trump. Never said a word. He just did it. You know,
I got on Joe Biden when you said, I told him he messed up with Katanji Brown Jackson,
the black Supreme Court Justice.
Not because he picked her.
What the hell did you say beforehand?
I'm going to pick a black woman for him.
Just do it.
Because when you announced it, then you sat up there and all the white folks there were like,
what if we said?
That's a white person that's going to be picked.
We'd have lost it.
But you happy as a Democrat now that you got some leverage,
that you could do it.
And then you wonder where the fallout's going to be.
I told him with Trump.
Let it go.
What you're trying to put him in jail for?
They did everything they could
to prevent him from being the president.
Trump ain't going after these people, man.
Because of the election,
he's going after these people
because they tried to get him
to spend the rest of his life in fucking prison.
He approached it 80 years older
and you tried to throw him behind bars.
He's coming.
He coming.
Like, wait a minute.
You motherfuck a fucking smile to my face.
You come into my casinos, you come into the hotel.
Y'all all know we all sports.
We saw Trump at all sporting events.
We were all cool with him.
We weren't calling them racist then.
So it's like he's looking at it and he's going like, yo,
he's my fucker's trying to put me in prison.
They ain't trying to get me like, okay.
January 6th, insurrection, all of that.
I find, all right, I leave.
Y'all, you know, y'all confirmed Biden going to be your president.
I'm out.
And you still coming for me.
You're trying to throw me in prison.
The charges in New York.
And what was the charge of New York?
Oh, let's remind ourselves of this.
34 felony counts and all this shit.
It came down to 130,000 that he spent in hush money to a prostitute.
A porn star, the porn star.
Stormy Daniels or whatever, her name.
So I'm going like this.
Yeah, it's a little more complicated than that.
But we simplify shit in the streets.
All right.
So he was fucking.
around with a bruntster.
And he wanted to keep her mouth shut.
So it didn't ruin his chances at the election in 2016.
And y'all trying to tell me that ain't normal?
Seriously.
So none of y'all.
I guess John Edwards, when he had the baby out of wedlock and he tried to hide it and get
caught.
He didn't try to bail him.
I guess Gary Hart, when he had the mistress on the boat in the 80s, he didn't get
caught.
sold the chair in Chicago.
Here you go.
What about what's the guy who sold?
What about Clinton in the overall joint?
Clinton in the overall office.
Weiner.
Who the hell was violent?
Weiner.
We know.
Hey, by the way, y'all.
Anthony.
Hey, by the way, y'all, any of us.
Who tried to, I did this shit yet.
I did.
Yes, it was me.
Really?
The only government official we ever saw do that.
If you remember when Elliott spit to the governor in New York got caught,
and then remember his number two,
Madison.
He went out there and told everything.
We were like,
I'd already.
I'm damn.
I mean,
that's too much information.
I mean, shit.
He just tell it all is.
We're like,
all right, we got it.
Enough.
You see what I'm saying?
Because that's not some shit you do.
What you usually do is you usually.
I think they open a can of worms.
Right.
By overreaching
trying to lock up,
they locked them up in Atlanta
to ask Y's salucci.
You know, Trump came to the building.
He said it was waiting for Trump
and they're watching them on TV and Cook County.
And so now he's locking everybody up.
He's coming for.
He's coming for.
But what happens when the Democrat becomes President Noges
does he start locking everybody up?
But see, the point is here's what...
There's almost like a third world country.
Here's what Trump is missing.
The power, whether it's via executive orders or anything else,
where he's making the mistake.
of doing is he's disrupting the system by empowering himself to exact revenge.
The problem with that is if you open that Pandora's box, then there's a Democrat that might
gain office one day that can have that power because you set that precedent.
And you've disrupted the democratic system that we've had in place because of your
willingness to be autocratic to exact the vengeance, which is why I said to represent.
Representative Jim Jordan, you're going to really try to sit here and say, it's not a vengeance
tour?
I'm thinking about the country.
I'm thinking about, yo, we the ones that got to live in the streets.
I want it so me, you and everybody can have a party.
Me, you and everybody could live our lives under normal circumstances and just enjoy our
shit, not having to worry about who's trying to stab us, who's trying to shoot us,
who's trying to frame us, we're trying to do all of this shit.
Family members and talking about them.
And none of them are thinking about shit like that.
That's where you see me interested.
Because I know that I will resonate.
And I'm telling you, I can't see it happening.
But if I'm on the stage, I swear to God, I swear to God, you will never.
Stephen there, I'm with you will never see me.
You will never see me.
You will never see me more prepared in my life.
In my life.
I wouldn't talk to anybody.
Y'all wouldn't see me for about a month or two months because all I would be doing is studying
in every issue. Because when I come on
stage and they would need to be scared
because they have a record, I don't.
I ain't do shit politically. What you're going to say about me? I'm yelling on
first day. Fuck you're going to say? You don't like what I said about
some shit? So what? I want to shit.
I'll be quick, fast in the hurry
reminding everybody on the debate stage. I ain't here
to please you. I ain't here to
You know what's crazy. I told somebody last
that one at the nick game.
Yep. And I said, I want
the job. Which job?
Who jow love?
I'm about trying to take.
Well, shit, you're the one to use it for dramatic effect.
We just, no, no, I said I want the job.
Right.
His room is Clyde Frazier might be retiring.
I said, I want to sit in the seat and be the next.
Yeah, yeah.
You're qualified.
I want the...
Stop.
That don't work.
I love you.
I can't support that.
I can't support that.
You'll be telling stories and shit while it plays are going on.
You know what I'm saying?
Mr.
Dumptonton.
You're going to be bad.
You ain't even giving you a bad.
No twinity.
I just don't.
You're going to be giving this.
No.
Clown.
I just told you I would go for you for president.
I know.
I love you for it too, bro.
But I'm just saying,
they would be on you and we'd be missing a game.
Do you believe in me?
We'd be missing a game because of your story.
You mean, let me tell you what happened on 130 seconds street of Park.
You know, why I'm fucking doing the dunking shit?
You know,
Play-by-play.
I got to interrupt you to say somebody just scored and it got found.
I'm going to tell you.
I'm going to tell you what they told.
Hell no.
Hell no.
I'll be like, no, that cannot happen.
They cannot happen.
I love you, Joe.
Love you to death.
Must see TV.
I'm telling you.
But let me tell you, such.
The guy next to me told me, yo, you don't want $400,000 to get.
That's right.
He said, I'm surprised they're paying him that much.
He said, you can't tour, you can't this, you can't that, you can't this.
I got a confession to make right in front of your face.
because you're my man, I love you, he does.
So I got to tell you, I can't say this behind your back
and not say it in front of your face.
I blame you for the Yankees moving to the Dodgers last year.
You're full of shit.
Steve, you full of shit.
Yo, Steve.
I was very mad at you for doing that shit.
You know what I said?
No, that's for the Knicks.
That's not for the Yankees.
You ain't identified with the Yankees.
It doesn't matter.
You're not identified.
father of the Yankees?
No, I'm dead serious.
Steve, that's Nick.
I've been eating glissies and Yankee Stadium ahead of time.
I don't care.
I don't care.
I don't care.
You have a kiss.
I don't care.
I don't care.
I don't care.
I don't care.
You fucking me off, Steve.
Let me tell you something.
After Ice Cube did that shit, rolled up in front of the Yankees.
Don't.
Rakees, I mean, in front of the Yankees, that.
Bada down when you come to our town, I said, I said, this ain't Joe.
Blaine?
This is not the Gitt.
That's not the Knit.
You the garden.
You ain't Yankee Stadium.
Let me tell you something.
You ain't Yankee Stadium.
I am Yankee Stadium and let me tell you something.
Ooh.
I got.
I'm telling you.
I'm out of it.
I'm telling you.
Easy's on bottom of a troll.
I was like, this is not good.
They put a delay in my shit.
Okay.
I practiced three times that day.
They put a delay in my ears.
Okay.
So the shit could be fucked up.
Okay.
It was Fox.
It was at Yankee Stadium.
It was at Yankee Stadium.
You were in New York.
How do you let that happen?
And you go up five minutes away from breaking kids.
And I'm going to tell you is I rehearsed.
I got to get somebody from the Yankees in this motherfucker.
I rehearsed three times that day.
It was no delay.
When it came on, it was a delay.
Now, I got to be real with you.
Ice Q, great.
The day was a good day.
That's amazing.
He tore that shit out.
It was like the beat.
Yes.
That's right.
And what he's saying.
I have his audio was.
And how he did it.
Because when he told him to bow down, he was right in front of their face.
Lending on the-putting it on him like a-
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I say, it hurt my feelings.
See, the Yankees like that.
It hurt my feeling.
I'm trying to tell you, I got monsters too.
They put a delay on my earphone.
I got it, but you five minutes away, why he want to hear that?
Monsters.
You know what that compares to?
Monsters.
You know what that compares to?
Are you ready for this?
I'm glad you're sitting down for this.
You know what I'm comparing his excuse to?
Because I'm not saying that it wasn't the delaying.
When they came off, when you look,
bullshit, there ain't no bullshit.
It's true.
It's true.
It ends.
You know what I'm comparing this to?
When Deontay Wilder lost the rematch to Tyson Fury, not three, two,
when he lost two, the Fury and blamed it on his costume.
His head was heavy.
The thing was happening.
No, his costume was heavy.
Stop it.
Who put the costume on?
He did.
Who made the costume?
He did.
Who tried it on before the fight?
Picasso.
What are you talking about?
You know, I'm the Tyson Fury of the game.
You're talking to the wrong guy.
No.
What I'm trying to tell you is this.
I'm not, I'm going to tell you the truth.
I perform every day.
I never have a problem.
I rehearsed three times that day.
When I went there, they put a delay on my shit.
That wasn't me.
That was a technical.
Yo, bro, it has nothing to do with the song.
I'm not saying the song was bad or nothing.
I'm saying you're not to say.
anonymous with the Yankee.
I am.
I'm saying you're dishonamous with the Knicks.
I don't fear.
What do you think they should have put?
You know, they should have put hold for somebody.
They should put a hole.
I'm just saying, you are the Knicks?
Nicks.
No, I'm a Nix.
In the garden, even though you're asking Miami half the time.
You in the garden, we know it.
That's home.
That's home.
Yankees, you look like a visitor.
Five.
And you look like a visitor.
I'm a 16th and 20.
And you look like a visitor.
No, man.
I was very displeased.
I was very displeased.
I did not want to see you
trying to talk to the Dodgers.
No.
I need somebody else.
I ain't want to talk to the...
Well, I'm just saying after Ice Cube did what he did,
we got to answer that.
You know what we should have did?
Nothing.
Yeah, you're probably right.
Should have left the shit.
My fucks couldn't hit anyway.
First of all, I was one of the...
Say, that was one of the highlights of my life.
What do you mean?
Well, I'm happy for you.
But y'all lost.
I can't, I'm not playing the game, Stephen Day.
Judge strikes the board.
We was up five, too.
Ice Q fucked with their head.
Ice Q fucked with their head the game he did.
That's not you.
Now you at the Garden?
Oh, that would be cessation.
But not Yankee Stadium.
Hey, we got a chance of going in the Garden, too.
When you do that, I'll be there to support you for that one.
You know what I was not.
I would have told you not to Jew the Yankee.
Me too.
I said, no.
called me and you,
brother.
And I'm not,
they're cool.
The Yankees actually,
I did a commercial
for if they won
the wheel suit.
So I think you got me a bag
that they never used to.
Yeah,
they,
I started a commercial bag on that
Nike and the age right too.
I never exist out.
This ain't that?
That ain't this.
It's cracking kiss.
It's Steve in a.
Smith.
Y' Steve, man.
You fuck with me,
man.
Like that.

It's the enhanced games.
