Hey guys, it's us
The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe.
I'm Kevin.
And I'm Nick.
And guess what?
We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas.
We invented a podcast?
Well, we didn't invent it.
We just contributed to it.
We're the first people to do podcasts.
We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions.
Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it.
But, you know, tired and sick.
Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Just listen.
We don't care where you hear it.
Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite.
Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and Friends.
Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier.
This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter.
Where does your group perform?
We do some retirement homes.
Those people are starving for banter.
Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever
you get your podcast.

What's up, fam?
It's Isaiah Thomas.
And I'm C.J. Toledano.
It's our favorite time of the year on our podcast, Point Game, the playoffs.
We're digging into the biggest surprises of the season.
And I'm looking back on some of my greatest playoff moments.
If we didn't talk ever again, I was crying.
You just understood.
That's how personal it got.
Wow.
Then after that game seven, Marquis come until he's like, you know I love you, dog.
You know, it's all love.
This was just playoffs.
This was just basketball.
So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your
Podcasts.
Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed.
And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place.
I'm Akila Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 is about both of those things.
As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority
black city in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslave people.
Listen to Rebel Spirit Season 2 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your
podcast.

Knocked them out the park.
Shout out the Mike Will.
They knocked them.
They came in and I say hit a few grand slams.

Never compromised.
They always stay silent every time you see them

the group always love, always
got that good energy.
Transitioned to a solo
artist.
Hit even more out the park.

His bat paws, he
couldn't strike out.
There's no such thing.
Anything he touched.
Anything he touched.
Just light up.
You know what I mean?
I think I even seen
him on a helicopter playing a video game.
The shit was the
silly shit I ever seen.
He was in an airplane.
He'd be making all
kind of history.
Now he's about to do it again.
He felt like, you know what I mean?
He looked at the ball.
He looked at the rafters.
He felt like putting some more home runs in there.
So he's going to do it again.
When you think of drip, when you think of ice,
when you think of somebody who just does
whatever the fuck he wants
and it looks like he's having fun doing.

Legendary leader of the news.
All the way up.
Well, I took my sipper ready.
How much y'all want me to drink?
Half the bottle.
Sheesh.
My fucking got me $1,800.
I don't get on that timing, man.
That's a quadruper shot.
My brother, how did you get discovered?
How do you get in the game?
Was it Mike Will?
I just see you come out of nowhere.
Just like Jada.
Jada ain't exaggerating the line.
You just
came out and your shit was legendary.
So how did you get your start?
I grew up in Mississippi and long story short, my DJ was cousins with Mike Will's
producers, the eardrumbers.
So my homie's P. Nasty and Mars, they first got in touch with us and they heard our music
that we was making from Mississippi.
So they told us, me, y'all come to Atlanta, make, I work with us.
You know what's San Jose, lock in with us, see what comes from it.
So we was working at McDonald's just doing when we could get some money at the time.
So boom.
one of my homies, he had a truck.
So we got down, drove that shit from Mississippi to Atlanta
and just locked in, like, a whole year in the basement
and just cooking up with Mike Will,
cooking up with the ear drummers,
just creating a new sound.
And Mike Will would come over and hear the songs,
he'd be like, yo, my y'all boy, it's hard, you know what I'm saying?
He always paid show mad love.
And then he had an idea for a group, ear drummers backwards.
And he felt like the sound matched that name.
And we was like, shit, that's hard, you know what I'm saying?
boom.
Yeah.
Sherman.
Oh,
yeah.
Yeah,
that's how it happened.
Me and Brosky.
You know what's crazy is
it's good to have money.
Yeah.
Right?
And success.
But it was nothing more
priceless than that time
when you was in the basement
creating that music and all like,
you know,
I met Bryce and Tiller
and my man,
Rich the Barber's house.
You used to live in Rich the Barber's house.
He was making that whole first album
in his kitchen.
Damn.
So I got to see that product.
Of course, he got the big mansion now.
He can't fuck up.
But it was, you know, that's a priceless time when you,
when you're there learning the ropes and you're coming up with these hits
and you coming up with that sound and, you know, and dreaming.
So after that year, you put out this music and then the next thing you know, you explode.
How did that feel making a transition from nobody knowing you to now
you're the biggest shit in the game?
man, it was crazy because
like when we lived in Atlanta, it's like
some of these clubs, you know what I'm saying?
They turned us around. So many people told us now we can't even play
this, you know what I'm saying? So we're on foot
with it, you know what? So we're working every club.
We're screaming our shit loud in the streets, you know what I'm saying?
We're handing out CDs, everything.
So the turnaround was crazy. Like, the same
clubs that were turning us around, same spots that were
turning us with open arms. They're like,
booking us sending bags. So it's like, damn,
shit crazy. You know what's crazy. Why I said
Loochie was here and he forgot
But I remember one night I come out the club.
He's performing on top of the car.
His song, and they was like, yo, that's Y, Fenn.
I mean, Atlanta got a different type of grind.
Man, fuck, going to do what they got to do.
He told me he didn't remember that.
But I remember watching YF.N. Lucie on top of a fucking car
performing his song outside the club.
I said, man, that motherfucker is grinding.
The hunger to come up, for sure.
Super hungry, doing whatever.
That's really nuts.
because that's the way,
I didn't think your era,
y'all was doing that.
That's how we came up,
like giving the vinyl to the DJs,
going to every club.
The truth is,
you got to get on foot with it.
You can't really, yeah,
you can't be successful
just sitting on your couch.
You got to, like,
come on,
two times.
That's what we're supposed to.
Let me tell you something.
Thank you, brother.
But you can't be,
you know,
in your couch,
Say my daughter, my daughter got a little podcast.
Shout out to Azzie as if.
And she's making, he's saying she's doing shit.
Yeah.
But she's doing shit because she's out there and everybody's face and working
and doing whatever she can do.
On the front line, yeah.
And networking and getting the relationship.
So every time she comes out with a new breakthrough, I'm like, yeah, but she got to be out.
She laid the brick.
You can't sit on your car.
Nobody going to be able to give you that success or get you to where you go.
without you out there grinding
and putting in that work.
It's just the way it is.
I think if I put out a new record,
I got to do the same shit.
Now, 2026, like pull up on the club
and be like, yo, play this shit.
Yo, this and this and that.
I mean, it's always been where it's at.
It's always been where you get the best success.
Best reaction, yeah.
The best reaction, bro.
It's new single.
Don't even call featuring Rich the Kid.
Shout out to Rich the kid.
Shout out Rich.
How did that happen?
What made you?
How did this song happen?
How did the division come?
What made you make it the lead sing?
What does hear about?
Yeah, see, boom.
I live in Miami shit right now.
So that song, like, I gave it to a couple of DJs.
It ended up, like, blowing up crazy in Miami.
So all the girls know it in Miami and shit.
You know what I always see Rich the kid out there.
He live out there.
So, boom.
We always cross paths.
I mean my Rose Royce, Nick, me in his G-Wagon.
sitting up 50 feet.
We always see each other.
Like,
yeah, he got that bribeys kick.
He got that bribeys kick.
Like $3.50, 400.
Oh, yeah.

I got mine here.
The traffic too crazy.
I love them.
Traffic's too crazy, but, you know, I'm from here.
So where would you say you're more from, ATL or Mississippi?
Definitely Mississippi.
I know the DNA in New York City is hard for motherfuckers, man.
It's too much jealousy when I come down the block and that Rooms Royce.
It's just hard, man.
Motherfucking cross in the street.
You see that shit in their eyes and all that.
That shit, I might have drove it one time in New York City.
Like, a year.
That shit just sitting there for no reason.
It's just, I can't even get to wait.
As fast as I pull that bitch out, the faster on the day like today that's nice.
That should be back in the fucking garage.
Yeah, you're going to go five feet.
It's like, niggas, they just can't, they can't parolite.
They can't take that shit.
They face me like, you just.
They disgust me.
I'm telling you.
Nobody, you can't take that here.
Here in Miami, you go to Carbone anywhere.

It should look like a skateboard out there.
So many motherfuckers got them shit.
Over here?
Good luck.

Motherfuckers, be like, yo, crap, what up?
Yo, you come down with that big body?

It was horrible
Like nobody was fly
If one motherfucker was fly
We used to look at him

One day
a little V bomber.
I'm going to get me a little something.
And, you know, we always took it as inspiration.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
Now I don't know where that switchoff is now.
It's looked like they almost assumed you rubbing it in their face
that you're successful.
They take it another way now.
Before it used to be like inspiration.
Yeah.
Miami don't get us to all.
Everybody got money.
I don't know what it is.
It's some fake shit.
It's like,

but she's legendary.
Who else?
You got French Montana?
Montana for sure.
So everything good now
because I'm forgettable.
They say,
you know,
there was a mix-up of communication.
I think what it was, like, it looked one way on the internet,
but in real life, it's just,
it just wasn't the traditional way you go about clearing a song,
you know what I'm saying?
But the outcome of the song was everything we could have imagined,
you know what I'm saying?
Everything we wanted.
So it was a lot going on at the time, you know what I'm saying?
Mike Well, man, you work yourself out.
As rich as he is, he still talk to himself on the park bench about that song.
I mean, yeah, every time I get around, he'd be like, yeah, man, that was my song, man.
That was shit.
I'm like, yo, Mike, but you're
standing on it.
He's standing on it.
That's your man.
I see, yeah, but you know, I don't know
the politics.
He's like, yo, man.
For real, for real.
Yeah, Mike ain't playing by that shit, for real.
He's going to go to the grave with that one.
With that one, I'm telling you.
He didn't agree with how it happened.
But I get it because it's like,
it was a long story, you know what I'm saying?
It's kind of like some backdoor shit,
but it's like seeing an opportunity and sees him,
you know what I'm saying, basically what it was.
The best thing is that it came out.

Hey, it's us to 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 did 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.

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. Genschen win. 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, Lena Rubakina is arguably the best player in
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.

but definitely one specific for same difference, for sure.
Mm-hmm.
You know what I'm saying?
And what could you say about the ups and downs
of the music business?
Because, you know, some days you're on top,
some days you look warm.

Go back to the drawing boards.
J.B.

Many artists have had to fight the adversity
you know you could be on top of the world
oh yeah
come back your shit of eye
and be sleeping on you then you got to come back
with a frisbee
get the motherfucket on their ass for real
yeah that's you know that's
that's how I judge artists
personally
right like I've seen some artists
that I was like
I don't know if this person
got it, you know, I always say to make a hit record, just one hit record is a miracle.
Because it can be a hit for you and you put it down and it goes clean over the hits, for sure.
No, no, I'm just saying actually a one-hit wonder is better than being on your couch trying
to make music for 20 years and never having a hit.
One-hit wonder.
But imagine the guys that keep making those hits.
Those guys and girls are exceptional.
When I see that, that's when I go, all right.
This person trying to stick.
You know how many artists I've seen come?
And then when they come the second or third time with another one,
I'd be like, oh, they want to stick around.
The motherfucker here to stay.
I get used to this mother.
That's how I felt about him.
Big pop of your teens.
He came in and put shit over there every time he got up.

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.
but could call in and say, hey Jonas,
and then I wrote down on my little notepad,
Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast.
But thanks for remembering that, guys.
Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,

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.
Genshin win. 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, Lena Rubakina 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. Listen to the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast on the

You know,
so, John,
you ever been to, like,
a jazz joint?
Not saying jazz,
but I've been to,
like,
little restaurants where a guy or a girl,
they sing like Whitney Houston.
And you sitting there,
you're wondering,
yo,
what happened?
Why this young lady
ain't the biggest in the world?
Why this guy?
They ain't go to the room.
right people and then it wasn't the
moment. And then
people take
getting on and making it for granted.
It's not that. Everybody
can do it. Everybody can do it.
Literally.
Yeah, there's different
elements to it. But
what I do know is
that people got to like
you. They got to like you.
I met so many
talented people that
never succeeded. And
I can't give you the reason why, because
they write hits for everybody else.
I know, listen.
Who?
No, I can't do that.
I can't do that because it's not fair to them.
But, no, I can't do that.
But if you write hits for people and you get the,
you're just doing your money and all that,
and you just want to be lit, I think you're a bird for them.
Well, they all want to be lit.
So anybody who writes smash hits,
everybody.
Anybody.
Anybody.
Okay.
Would you rather write smash hits and receive what you posted receive
or get the hits writ for you and be lit and be you?
Yeah.
No, I'm with you.
But what I'm saying to you is unfortunately, I watch.
People want to be lit.
Yeah, front line.
I watch guys who wrote albums.
for guys that sold 10, 20 million with that album.
And they filthy, rich, and then they try to do their own album.
And when you hear it, it's so fire, right?
And then you, like, damn, what is...
Beyonce would have sung that.
If Usher would have sung that record,
if this one would have this, like, you know,
they just finished coming from giving out the biggest hits in the world.
Then they do their own album.
They're like, all right, it's time for my shit.
Can't blame him for wanting to be a star.
The album's incredible, too.
But they don't go.
They put that battery in their back.
You're a football star with a helmet on.
You're still a star.
Yeah, you don't see your face, but still you know.
I know what?
Yeah.
I know what I'm going to.
You got that shit with him, you know what I'm saying?
You still a star.
You just want to be seen.
You just want to be seen.
You just want to be seen.
They know it's you.
That's how I feel.
People got to like you.
That's just the bottom line.
That's how I feel about,
and me,
I studied a game.
It took me a long time to understand that.
Like,
I'm sitting there and,
you know,
I got friends that are writing,
they can write big hits
and they want to be artists.
And to me,
the music's incredible.
These guys are handsome.
This woman is beautiful.
Yeah.
And for some reason,
it just don't connect.
You know,
And that's crazy.
You know, sometimes to me, I don't know.
I guess we all up on this couch
because we think we know music.
Or sometimes I hear records or I see artists that I know for a fact.
I mean, like, oh, no, she's out of here.
This guy's out of here and then it don't go.
And I'm confused because I'm like, for sure,
that was supposed to be out of here.
I think it's all God's doing.
I think it's all the, once again,
it all came back to people got to like,
I always use Cardi B as an example, but people thought she was funny,
and they liked her before they ever knew she was ever going to put out a record.
And then she put out of here, the Bodak Yellow, you're like, damn, on top of that, this year is fire?
It's on.
You know, and that's what I, that, you know, if there's any artists out there looking,
you got to find a way to get that connection with the people.
And I think that's the most priceless thing, you know, for us, we take it for granted.
You think you're a hit maker.
You think you're a hit maker.
Nah, it's the people.
I am a hitman.
Yeah.
But somebody got to like your hit.
And so what I'm saying to you is when you go outside.
Okay.
But when you walk out in the stadium and they're, that's the law.
That's the blessing.
That's the blessing.
That's the blessing because some people got music like that.
Crickets.
Some people got music like that.
And cricket mania.
Yeah, yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
That's crooked mania.
Damn.
That's cold.
That's cold.
I learned that one day.
One day I go, I'm performing last year in Ohio.
Listen, my daughter's way more into Sway Lee's music than Fat Joe.
Like, I don't even think she's a fan, Pete.
I don't know how to think.
She's like, you know, the Travis guy, all a young pop and shit.
She come in Ohio to my show.
she got her girlfriend who go to college
her boyfriend, they come to my show
and somehow
the pink
got tore off the wall, Fat Joe went up
and they caught that body.
That you know.
It's like 30,000.
Yeah.
What?
I think it was God assisting me
that day so I could look like a hero.
I come back after this in my throat.
I'm like,
you think your father's whack.
Like, I'm tearing this shit down.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
But, you know, it is what it is.
You know, people got to like you.
Definitely.
That's the end of the day.
And that's hard.
You got to keep, you know, people don't understand.
You got to keep working on that.
You got to get that energy and they really fuck with you like that.
Because this ain't an overnight thing.
Sometimes it is.
And you be like, gold doll in my watch.
Don't believe me.
Just watch.
Don't believe.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Shout out to my band, man.
Trinidad James, I love him.
I love him.
That's one of the greatest songs of all times.
That James is important to the country.
I love Trinidad.
He's a very, you know, mad shit about hip-hop fashion game.
I remember when that song was number one,
I walked up in the club.
I felt like, you know, what's that at, New Orleans?
Where you walk and they got the band behind you?
Oh, yeah.
I walked in there where they got the trumpets in the eyes.
They do a little dance.
I walked up in the club one day.
That's shit.
I was icy.
That's just a real cold doll in my watch.
Don't believe me.
Just my sense.
I was walking in that bitch.
I thought that song was about me.
You fucking kidding me?
That shit.
Shout out Trinidad, James.
That's my brother.
Bro, cool.
Smooth.
Smooth.
So what we're looking for?
So you said Rich,

Awesome.
We got out.
Same difference in the album.
You're streaming right now.
We're going to drop another?
You're going to drop another?
Yeah, I'm going to drop the one with Jeney the same day as the album dropped.
Oh, that's clear.
Get ready.
That's the best guy.
You and Jeney.
That's the three-piece combo.
I dropped the first time.
That's got to be disrespect.
Which the kid and Jeney.
You know what I'm in his stomach.
No doubt.
No, that's disrespect.
Jeney, she ain't never whacked either.
She's so cool.
Special girl.
So cold.
So cool.
She loves her fan base.
is almost like Wooten.
Ten toes, for sure.
Her fan base is like a cult.
I went to one of our shows,

They got all the girls out here. This shit is
That's a good demographic. That's a good demographic to win.
Oh, that's the greatest democracy. Yeah, for sure.
I think my fans are more guys
though. I got some girl hits.
Yeah. But I think my demographic is more dudes.
In fact, I know my
demographic is more dudes. I remember when
I first saw a girl at my show, I couldn't
believe you. Like the first
five years I had the spotlight on shirty.
First five years I have motherfuckers
with Army jackets, raise it.
While I'm performing, they spit out
razor blades. Oh, shit.
Liggins motherfuckers looking at me hard as hell
and shit. Then I was like, oh shit.
There's a female at the show.
This shit was crazy.
They pay for tickets.
Females.

time you had female fans? Like,

Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is,
getting a racist statue removed.
And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is,
getting a new one put up in its place.
I'm Akila Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 is about both of those things.
As I was watching these statues come down,
I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority black city
in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslave people.
