[Jada]

That's a fact.

[Fat Joe]

That shit straight cash, whatever. You want to go out there and dump a load. Not that I have. Not that I want to. Not that I need to. But every now and then, you want your best friend Khaled to say he'll give you a fucking loan or something, right? Yeah, that motherfucker won't give me a dollar. They probably now spent us on the loan. They probably got me on the list at the door, like, yo, don't let Joe in unannounced.

[Jada]

Callie spent us on the loan. Talk.

[Fat Joe]

You came back from the prisons. Yeah, talk to us.

[Jada]

I went to Marcy Correctional Facility. Then I went across the street to Mid State.

[Fat Joe]

What was that like?

[Jada]

Shout out to these is real jails, guys. Shout out to Second Chance University. Shout out to my brother, Andre.

[Fat Joe]

Norman, I love what your man is doing with the jails and all that.

[Jada]

Getting Norman, BX Tone, Ricky Kelly, Dr. Life. It's my other big man name. Yeah, Big. The Big Homie man and my brother, Big Homie. We was in there, though, just talking to the inmates, you know what I mean? We was able to work out with him. We was able to sit down, you know what I mean? Kick some real life. With him, try to.

[Fat Joe]

Was they younger or. They was like.

[Jada]

They was young our age, older than us, you know what I mean? But we was really able to kick it with them. Me and K was actually sitting in the gymnasium in the bleachers. I seen my man Cat from Yonkers. I seen a couple people from Mount Vernon.

[Fat Joe]

It's sad. You be wondering where people at when you go in there. I performed at Four Dicks one time, Shout out my brother Billy Blanco. And I walked in the yard. I performed in the yard. Everybody ever wondered where they was at. They was in that motherfucker. I'm like, God damn, these niggas, they doing a hell of a time. And you know, you go in there and you see them, you know, crazy story. So what y'? All, what's the story? What you talking about?

[Jada]

It was really about. Shit was an experience for me. Cause you go in and sit with the deputy wardens and the. The head of the staff. Then they tell you the issues. Whatever's going on in the jail is a lot of drugs, lot of violence. The dudes I was with asked them, do y' all want to keep this going or do y' all want us to fix? So then they go in there, speak to the inmates, or they call them the Ironis. Just get their mind right. Let them know that you want to get some programs. If you want to get some better things going on in the jail, you got to collaborate with the staff and the CEOs. Now, we know police is police, but what was I thought was flavor about the program is after they talk to the inmates, they sit down with the CEOs in them and tell them what they doing wrong and what they need to fix. So the whole jail could. You know what I mean? It could be less violent.

[Fat Joe]

What are the CEOs doing this wrong?

[Jada]

I mean, sometimes they ain't listening to you. Sometimes he. You know what I mean? If they just looking at you already as a piece of shit, they not even hearing your problems or you know what I mean? You gotta look at it like that. And another thing I seen Up Top is understaffed. They said it was one of the spots we went to require like 480 cos it was only 200 and something regular civilians working. And they had National Guard with the brown army suits is in there. So that gotta be a little crazy, too. It ain't enough.

[Fat Joe]

Workers like, man, shout out my brother, Pistol Pete dog in the yard. That's how I know about your man. He be taking pistols.

[Jada]

Yeah, in there.

[Fat Joe]

To talk to the inmates. Your man, he doing amazing work up in there in the jails. And so he got access to pistol. Pistol in there. Going into jail.

[Jada]

This one was in the. He went up in the max.

[Fat Joe]

He interviewing the. The monsters they let me do because.

[Jada]

You wasn't with me. A Jada and Jada a segment. It was fire. I interviewed. I interviewed a OG shout out to my OG he had 24 in. Hopefully he about to get out. And I interviewed the deputy that was ill in front of the inmates. They asking me questions. That was fire. It's going to be on the tablets, actually, if you in there and you gotta give it a check now.

[Fat Joe]

We gotta go in there one day.

[Jada]

But, you know, let me not big up Dubai too much or Abu Dhabi too much. I'm already in heat. You know, I'm there too much. I love it too much. And shout out my brother, Rashid Binhasid, man. So we go to Abu Dhabi. The first thing is the plane. I go on the plane. Now, I am a Knick fan to the. But I'm not a groupie.

[Jada]

But if I was a groupie with the Knicks.

[Fat Joe]

Not the Knicks, but on the plane at Mark Jackson, Patrick Ewing was on the plane. John Starks. You know, if I wanted to harass people, that would have been harassment 101. Like, it was like all the legends was on the plane. Igu dollar was on the plane. Shit was crazy. The whole NBA was on the plane, right? Not the Knick players or them. But we go over there and, you know, I was just in Dubai last week, so I'm back home. We go to Abu Dhabi, Brooklyn chop house.

And he was like, what? What do you mean? His Royal Highness come in. Stop Still Joe. How you been, my brother? Salaam alaikum. This is. I know these guys. So I'm kicking it with His Royal Highness. Your man Steve Harvey was there. He had to see real Royal highness come up to me. I don't mean like he was walking by. The man came to me. They even told me, yo, it's Royal Highness in them. They want you to sit next to them. I said, yo, I'm with Rasha Manha. I said, I'm good. Like, no, no, Royal Highness wants you. You know, I've been going to Dubai and Abu Dhabi 20 years.

And he's sitting there like, yo, it's our secret, okay? He's sitting there like, it's our secret. I know you guys, you can't lie to no Bronx dudes like that. We up in this shit. We look at it, we say, this nigga was like, ribbit, get the bag. Ribbit, get the bag. Like, ribbit. Yo, yo, I'm telling you, he got a straight computer, yo.

[Jada]

How many was it? Was it a lot of them?

[Fat Joe]

No, every time, I think all agreed us, because every time we kept. All right, so we went to Mongolia, came back. This, this. Every time we got a greeter. You know, humans got faults. Like, this guy got a hat, he's about to reach for the water. This, this, this, this. These guys is moving. And then when you watch them from the back your lori, I swear to God, they're walking like. Like, if you saw a game, like a fucking Y2K, just walk. And I'm like, yo, these dudes might be the AI.

[Jada]

Shit, think about it.

[Fat Joe]

Dubai would be the first place to use them. They're ahead of time with everything, all technology, everything, everything. They would be maybe 10, 20 years. They'll come back to this videotape and be like, yo, Fat Joe, he saw. He knew. Cause they not human, bro. They like this. And they don't smile. They don't do nothing. They grabbed me.

[Jada]

Are you the only person that saw them?

[Fat Joe]

Well, me and the whole crew. Rich Flair was there. Whoever was there. Tone, Sunshine, everybody agreed these guys are AI. By the third one, we was like, nah, it's a. Forget about it. It's over. Huh?

[Jada]

I robot, it wasn't.

[Fat Joe]

This is what I'm trying to tell you. It's like I robot. I mean, Dubai would do it. I'm telling you. I never felt that in my life. I'm not a conspiracy theory, but that's definitely an issue. Let's get back. Let's get back to Wimba Yamba. This league is not. What did I say now?

[Jada]

This league? You mean the NBA?

[Fat Joe]

The NBA. It's over for anybody by next year. I watched this guy, Wimba Yamba come down. Seven foot. What is he, seven sevens?

[Jada]

What is he, seven five?

[Fat Joe]

I watched him come down, bring the ball like a point guard. This is a true story. Spin it around and shit. Homeboy tried to come up. Homeboy tried to come up to play him. He shoved him off like this. The dude flew into the stands and he dunked the board. Like, who's supposed to stop that? Nobody stopping. Wimba Yamba. Wimba Yamba is the future of this league. He gonna win like six, seven chips by himself. I'm thinking telling you, this insanity, this wimble, this. When the Wimba Yamba era starts, people gonna have a problem. No, no, it ain't start yet. He ain't ready yet.

[Jada]

He.

[Fat Joe]

He. He gotta get a little bigger. You seen this pause? You seen this? Yeah. Trying to work out with them jail dudes. You doing them Yonkers bars. Them motherfuckers up in there like, come on, Jay. Yo, Jay. They make you really do the bars, right? Yeah. Come on, homie. Yeah. You know that there he be up on that Instagram setting the camera up. He look on them. They got niggas in there named Bakatan doing them shits with one finger. Your shit fucked up right now, man. Yo, ESPN drops the top 100 players.

[Jada]

The NBA.

[Fat Joe]

I have a super problem with this.

[Jada]

Let's hear it.

[Fat Joe]

Right, Number one, the Joker.

[Jada]

That's arguably. You can't. You don't understand with that.

[Fat Joe]

I don't have a problem with that. How you know I ain't got a. I ain't got a problem with this. Joker can't have a problem. He's just slinky. He could do whatever he want. Shot.

[Jada]

You ain't got a problem with that.

[Fat Joe]

What was that record? Are you shy?

[Jada]

You shot? Say my name.

[Fat Joe]

No, no. You shy the very first time I saw you. Round eyes. My lips are.

[Jada]

Hello.

[Fat Joe]

Ain't not that. But anyway. Shot number two. I ain't got a problem.

[Jada]

The fuck is he?

[Fat Joe]

Number three. Luca. Luka ain't do that. He ain't caused that damage last year. They didn't go nowhere. Luka cannot be at number three. Yes. He is very, very talented. See, what I am doing is I'm getting tired of people rating. I got it. I'm getting tired. Thank you, brother. More the front. This shirt crazy, though. How you like this Louis Vuitton? Sick. You see that? Sick. Hello. Hello. Hello. This dancing on him. Hello. Right. Number three, Luca. Not valid for Giannis. Giannis is one of my favorite. But he ain't can't be number four. He ain't been putting in that type of work. He ain't going to no finals or nothing like that. What you want me to do, like lie to you? I'm getting tired of people telling me, yo, they was the hottest. For the last 10 years, they was the hottest of the. No. Who's hot now? We want to know who's hot now because when you was hot, you had it. Who's hot. Now, he's not. Wimba Yamba ain't ready either, too. He's number five. But this year he'll be way up there. I'm telling you, he been working out. Anthony Edwards deserves to be even lower than number six, right?

[Jada]

Higher.

[Fat Joe]

You mean higher? Higher than number six, Anthony Edwards.

[Jada]

Is he think he should be three or four?

[Fat Joe]

Top five, man, this guy. Now go now.

[Jada]

If he gets aggressive, they got.

[Fat Joe]

If he gets aggressive, he'd be top three. They got him at six. They sitting on the youth.

[Jada]

Let's go.

[Fat Joe]

Steph Curry at number seven. Step. My man. Greatest of all time. What do you think he should be?

[Jada]

How could you put greatest in all time?

[Fat Joe]

You shot. Yeah, but what you gonna just by default give? They got LeBron in there. KD. LeBron, KD. And then Jalen Brunson. This is where the problem is. What kind of respect you got for my man? My man breaks his arms in the playoffs, he scores 40 something every game. He takes us to the finals. First time in 25 years. You got the man, JB.

[Jada]

You gotta. He's working his way to be one of.

[Fat Joe]

Working his way.

[Jada]

No, he's.

[Fat Joe]

No, no, but these guys. No, I want to know. So what is it?

[Jada]

Listen, he got one or two years.

[Fat Joe]

Is this a lifetime achievement award?

[Jada]

Yeah.

[Fat Joe]

They wasn't as hot as him.

[Jada]

Last one of them.

[Fat Joe]

Don't work like that, kids.

[Jada]

That's it.

[Fat Joe]

I know the narrative worked for me and you. Cause we the OGs. But you can't put the OGs on there if they're not as good as they used to.

[Jada]

Ain't you saying with somebody with two albums shouldn't be next to you. It's the same thing. He's going to be one of them.

[Fat Joe]

No, no, I'm talking about not. What? So what is. Nah, nah. He better than them. He top five. He better than them. Sorry. I'm sorry. Wemby should be right behind him. Wemby ain't put in no work yet. He's a promising. Wemby's almost in the Zion. You know, Wemby's promising. He ain't do no work yet, but let me tell you something. Jalen Bruss is better than all of them right now. I'm just being out there. He should be top five.

[Jada]

He's better than.

[Fat Joe]

No, no, no. He's beyond Joker. He's beyond Sha, Anthony Edwards, and then Jalen. I got Jalen at four. I got at four. I'm sorry, bro.

[Jada]

You putting Jalen in front of Luka.

[Fat Joe]

Hell, yeah, because he's a leader. He took our team further than we undertake.

[Jada]

The leader that don't got nothing to do.

[Fat Joe]

What are you talking about? That's also the greatest American to me of all time. Martin Luther King. You speaking true leadership? Martin Luther King, the greatest American of all time.

[Jada]

I want the Knicks to win. I love Jalen Brunson. You putting them in front of him.

[Fat Joe]

So you putting all these guys in front of him.

[Jada]

I put you in a straight jacket.

[Fat Joe]

He's way better than Luca right now. We went to the finals, man.

[Jada]

We went to the East. Luca went to the finals.

[Fat Joe]

The real he got packed up.

[Jada]

This guy didn't get packed up in the finals again.

[Fat Joe]

That was two years ago. I'm talking about last year. All right, you got Luca. Let me tell you something. No, I love James sleeping on our Knicks. Let me tell you something. Jalen Brunson. No, let me say, yo, James, you too loose with them flags today. Let me explain something to you. What the man need to be in a gang or get tattoos. What he got to do so you could. Because he's a nice guy, clean cut guy. They won't rate him.

[Jada]

Who?

[Fat Joe]

I mean, Jaylane Brunson.

[Jada]

To make the top 10 of the NBA is a special thing.

[Fat Joe]

You reminded me. And I don't want to say, but you make him say. You remind me of Rashad Lewis. Remember he caught that 200 million, he never scored a point again. What I'm trying to tell you all your man from Memphis. What's your man, the point guard. That was dumb. Nice. They gave him that bag. He never scored Him. He not. No, no, no. Not John Morant.

There are several ways we can all do better at protecting black women. My contribution is shining a light on our missing sisters and amplifying their disregarded stories. Stories like Tameka Anderson. As she drove toward Galvez, she was in contact with several people talking on the phone as she made her way to what should have been a routine transaction. But Tameka never bought the car and she never returned home that day. One podcast, one mission. Save our girls.

Hey, this is Matt Jones and I'm Drew Franklin, and this is NFL Cover Zero. We think NFL coverage should be informative and entertaining and twice a week that is exactly what you're gonna get. We're just here to try to give you an NFL perspective a little bit different. Did you see the Colts pretzel? That was my other big takeaway from that game. What was that? Looks like something that should not be sold. Oh, my. So that was my other big Colts take away. They sold that. Yes. Might want to go back to the Colts stadium. Yeah, I might want to go back to the drawing board on that. Yeah. I thought the shape we had with Pretzels was working pretty well.

[Josh Clark]

It's marked for generations.

[Fat Joe]

We're just here trying to enjoy it. We hope you all will join us throughout the year. And let's go. I hope I'm as youthful as Pete Carroll is at his age. He's a young 73. He is a young 73. He is spry. I wouldn't fight him. I would listen to NFL Cover Zero with Matt Jones and Drew Franklin on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get Your podcast.

[Dr. Elizabeth Poynter]

The types of symptoms that people talk.

[Fat Joe]

Oh, no, everybody going to Turkey. I gotta fight niggas all the time. They tell me Nori went to Turkey. I'll be like, yo, my man get ahead with that. He Puerto Rican and black. Did he? Yeah, that's the question. I don't think he did. I don't think. I don't think Nori would do that.

[Jada]

The Caesar for mad years. Then he just went to the plates.

[Fat Joe]

Nigga came into the poppy. He came in. No, he had a Caesar and then we talking about Noriega, guys. He had a Caesar and then he came out with the wavy shit like his name was Rodolpho. Like his shit grew up. No, no, he just came up like, now he got the dreads. So they always. Because he's my brother. They tell me all the time, you know, your man went to Turkey. I personally don't believe that Nori went to Turkey. I don't think he's like that type of guy, right?

[Jada]

Might got his shit done at ball.

[Fat Joe]

Left, rock or some shit. Bell all, but they probably get. You pay double. You pay double in the States. Like me, I wouldn't go out the country to do some surgery. I would pay double and stay in the country. I don't know if that makes sense.

[Jada]

That makes sense. How was the halftime performance? Like, how did they lace, you know?

[Fat Joe]

You know, I practiced three times and I learned that from JLo. JLo is like a super duper practice. She'll make you practice with her for, you know, you've been in shows with JLo. I was at a show with you and JLo, too. She makes you practice and shit. And so I said, you know why? It's the NBA. It's Abu Dhabi. Let me practice. So I practiced three times. They had the Philly dance and shout out to the mascot. He watch our show all the time. My man from Philly watch our show all the time. And so we practiced. This shit was great, man. Once you practice, you can't even mess up. You just got that shit. Then I went over there and I heard the echo on the mic. I got them earphones so fast, I said, yo, yo, yo. We not doing Yankee Stadium again.

[Jada]

Yeah, I hate that.

[Fat Joe]

Then you see the Yankees. I'm scared to even go to the game. Cause they gonna blame the whole shit on me. They said that. It's my fault.

[Jada]

Yeah, don't go.

[Fat Joe]

So I'm down the block. I'm eating my own glizzy in my house. Yo, man, no. I'm watching this glizzy off the. Off the screen. I want to go support, but I'm scared. The minute they show me, they gonna be like, these gonna be with brown paperbacks like Fat Joe came. It's over. The whole up. Bad news to the Yankees. This I gotta watch from home now.

[Jada]

Until we tie it up.

[Fat Joe]

You think we tying it up?

[Jada]

I hope so.

[Fat Joe]

That boy, Big Papi Ortiz, told Derek, Gina, they gonna need him. Babe Ruth, Lou Garage, Yogi Bear, bring Reggie back.

[Jada]

We need the time.

[Fat Joe]

Oh, no. He said it's a rap. And all my Toronto guys started sending me Statue of Liberty with Toronto, dressed up with Toronto uniform and shit. It's a rap. That right there is a rap with Judge Strikes Out With Three Men on base, no outs, three, two count. You knew they was gonna throw it down the pipe. That was it. He should have knocked that shit out the fucking park. So we didn't get that. So we got that established with the ESPN list. What else we alluding to?

[Jada]

Let me talk about.

[Fat Joe]

You got.

[Jada]

Man getting a lot of pushback. You know what I mean? I thought it was a beautiful thing being that he just coming off the biggest world tour, bringing almost damn near a billion dollars to the island of Puerto Rico. And now HOV is giving you a chance to check him out at the Super Bowl. And now he's getting now a bunch of hoopla. I don't understand it. I don't. It's damned if you do, you, damned if you don't. What's your take on that, my brother?

[Fat Joe]

You know, bad Boy, let's be clear about this. He's the number one streaming star in the world. Somebody's listening to this, man. Number one streaming star in the world. You could google that shit if you want, felon. Google it. Fell it. Two time felon. Yeah, he got a job, man. It's the most streamed album of all time. He's number one in the world. He made me, the whole world, go to Puerto Rico to watch him perform. He deserves the spot. The problem with America is so racist that if we're celebrating art, we're celebrating culture, we're doing a halftime performance. Somebody gotta perform, whether they black, white, Asian, K pop, whatever you want to name. So at the end of the day, Kendrick Lamar did it last year. Is he big enough? Is he this, the ratings was through the roof. Was he big enough? Is he disentrated? Now you got a guy who's Puerto Rican, by the way, ICE cannot arrest Puerto Ricans. We're Americans, duh. So I don't know what the fuck you on your truck with your Confederate flag thinking, yo, we going to lock up some Latinos. Yeah, they all Puerto Rican. They American citizens. What the fuck are you talking about? And my problem is, why does race have to always, always come into action? Everything that's going, I mean everything, and you perform it. I didn't even see that right when they picked him, I said, all right, Bad Bunny, he the biggest. He going to rock, right? I'm Latino and I don't know all the words to his song, but I know he's the shit and he's fire. So my thing is, once they throw in the race shit, I'm like, yo, what is this? Who's. I hate people. Black, Latino, white people, whoever, who always gotta bring race into every single thing. I just don't know why.

[Jada]

They've been bringing in every. Every single thing since I've been born. So everything.

[Fat Joe]

Oh, no, no. But they. But now with social media is at an all time high. I don't know how they break this shit down into. It's everything. Everything turns into some racial shit. Bad bunnies coming to entertain you. If you're. If. If you're white and you don't know Spanish, throw on your dancing shoes and have a hell of a time because all your friends are gonna ju. Gonna rock that like you never seen it.

[Jada]

It's gonna translate it for you.

[Fat Joe]

What? The apples? Yeah, talk about that. So Apple got this. So Apple presents the halftime.

[Jada]

You got the ipods that translate it, can translate it to English for you.

[Fat Joe]

So right at Time Live Time. So why you? I need that. They making us buy the new phone for this, right?

[Jada]

Everybody got an iPhone 15.

[Fat Joe]

I don't know if it's me. I'm. I'm. Look, I'm played out.

[Jada]

You down.

[Fat Joe]

Let me stay. Telling you, not speaking. When it comes to technology, you under the 15. It comes to technology. I'm played out. Every time they want a new phone to take me a month to figure out how to take a picture or something like that. Like, stop making these shits, man. Because every time they make it, it's like a real.

[Jada]

Like the new. You got the 17?

[Fat Joe]

Hell, no. I'm gonna be the last one to get it. Because every time they bring up something new, I get it, and I don't know what the fuck going on. How to do Instagram, how to do this, how to do that. I'm confused, you know, my phone, I just got used to it and my shit. Oh, it's not the 15? No, it's not. I used to have the 15. The little.

[Jada]

Everybody had the 15.

[Fat Joe]

Yeah, but I really don't want no more upgrades. Nah, man, that shit whack.

[Jada]

One day, it's like a computer. You must upgrade.

[Fat Joe]

So Bad Bunny at the Super bowl, he earned it. I hate when they try to make a narrative like, oh, they did this on purpose to fight ice. That's not true. He earned it. He's the number one streamer. What do you want me to do if next year they bring the K Pop guys? The guys. I don't know how much I would feel about that. But the K Pop guys, because they broke records and all that, you would have to understand that, you know, they the biggest in the game. The problem is that the NFL have always had, like, you know, don't go messing with Cotton Eye Joe. Cotton Eye Joe. Cotton Eye Joe. Don't go messing with.

[Jada]

Nobody's ever said nothing. All them years.

[Fat Joe]

We ain't say shit. We must have seen Pat Benatar 10 times. Cotton Eye Joe, Cotton Eye Joel, that shit.

[Jada]

You know, I used to think halftime was only for the rolling stones and U2, and I thought it was. They had a lifetime residency with the Super Bowl. I thought I'd never see a black guy at the super bowl halftime. Besides sweeping.

[Fat Joe]

Guess what? Ever since they put the black guys, they've been winning Emmys every year. Guess what? The rating's been up. So, you know, you say what you want. You know what I'm saying? And it's become a thing every time somebody does super bowl the next week, we talking about it. Was it good? Was it rated? It was, you know, shout out the hobby. Shout out Desiree Perez. Shout out to the whole rock nation. Getting together. Pulling this one off, because.

[Jada]

Shout out to the rock.

[Fat Joe]

I love that Bad Bunny even did it because Bad Bunny said he wasn't going tour in the United States. So I love the fact that he said, okay, I'm doing it, man. My sister Mary, her bag went up after she killed that halftime. She was headlining Essence Fest the next day. This, this. I watched the bag. I know what the super bowl could do for you, Mary J. Yesterday's price is not today's price. Mary's shit went dumb after that. Tore this, this, that. Her shit went crazy.

[Jada]

Wow. You heard that? That's hip hop. Shout out to hip hop. Man, Kendrick is the most viewed. He beat out Michael Jackson and Mike. Had that spot for 32 years. Shout out to Kendrick for that. Shout out to hip hop. Shout out to Kendrick.

[Fat Joe]

Let me tell you what's crazy, right? You know, I always complain about the planes, even though I go across the world. But for a long time, I was the John Madden, the hip hop. I got that they ain't a highway. I'm telling you, he never flew.

[Jada]

John Madden switched.

[Fat Joe]

He never flew, right?

[Jada]

He switched to the train. He had his own train.

[Fat Joe]

Well, I took buses.

[Jada]

Got their own train.

[Fat Joe]

Nigga, let me explain something to you. I never salute the man for that. I didn't know he did all that. I did the bus. I go to New York and Miami so much. I come out on the gas station or the Cracker Barrel and like, hey, Joe. Like, I live down the block. Fayetteville, North Carolina. Like, I done there every highway in America. And somebody was asking me, and I thought about it, I said, you know, we took. We did spring break. That changed my life recipes.
