They come up in there with their own stand in the mansion, and they make the conch for you. But let me tell tell you, Bahamas got some serious comp, you know, hey, yo, no. All right, I'm a fat boy, so I'm gonna tell you, like, forget about it.

[Jada]

It ain't that fat.

[Fat Joe]

So Miami, New York, it's the big stage.

[Jada]

They sent you here. What was the difference? What was the transition coming from the Miao up here to the.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

I feel like Apple. Going from the city to a different city wasn't really that much of a difference. It was more like driving in and you seeing that Yankee Stadium. Every time you come in, like, that's a different feeling. You drive in, you see 10,000 fans already outside waiting, and it's 2 o' clock, the game at 7. Like, I ain't even get to work yet. Why you at my work before me? You feel me? And that's how much the love is. So it's like you getting there. Like you from. You step inside that building, bro, you just like, yeah, I gotta do it today. I can't not do it today. You know what I mean?

[Fat Joe]

Baseball got like different white fans. Like, you got white fans.

[Jada]

Don't make this a cult thing.

[Fat Joe]

No, I'm just trying to tell you, Listen, I'm telling you, they got different. Don't go messing with Cotton. He's good in any upstate. If his car breaks down in upstate, the Farmer's coming out for jazz.

[Fat Joe]

It's a different kind of fan. Am I correct?

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

You're correct. 100, bro. What? It's already happened. Low key. Yeah, bro. Like, I ain't going. I love this state. I already. I went driving four hours away and came back just to go on a four hour drive, like on an off day. It was just like, beautiful outside.

[Fat Joe]

And so the thing that stands out the most to you and me is I feel like baseball is America's sport. And the demographic is real older. It's older. And they never been able to find somebody that's so cool.

[Jada]

What makes you say the demographic of baseball? Brother, all little kids play baseball. Crack.

[Fat Joe]

I understand that. What I'm trying to tell you is that if you look in the stands next Yankees game, you go gonna see.

[Jada]

Little kids and old people, but a.

[Fat Joe]

Lot more old people. But what I'm trying to say is he's bringing the cooler baseball. He got his swag. His swag. He making music. Like, when I see him, I'm like, finally, you're the first baseball player in America that I ever went to a store. I went shopping at the store in Washington Heights and they showed me a picture of the Godspeed shirt. They was like, jazz wore it yesterday. Look at Instagram, they ain't doing that with no other baseball players.

[Jada]

He's got me tapped in, swaggy. He got the most, you know, he very stout.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

You gotta be tapped in. I mean, like, for me, like, this, this my culture. You feel me? Like, where I come from, like, yeah, I'm from the Bahamas, but I also grew up in Florida. So, like, where I come from is all about having that swag, having your own flow, like doing what you want to do. You feel me? Like, that's how I grew up. And if you have that confidence, like, ain't nobody could tell you what to do. You know what I mean?

[Fat Joe]

You know, I'm from Florida too. I've been in Miami for 22 years. But you know Jada at the Versus. See, I thought he took shots at me. This is the real New York, not the guys that moved down to Florida. I'm outside with it. Not those guys. I'm in the crowd. Like, yo, Jado, like, what's going on? Do I gotta run out this building? Like, he's shooting down the guys, the migrators with the snow bunnies. We moved down for the winter. Y man, what you was think you was getting that cam, like, what you was thinking when you was taking shots. What, what you.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

You know, I always wanted to ask you about that Versus. Was it personal?

[Jada]

Nah, not really. It wasn't. Those is our brothers. It just, you know, it was a moment, you know, I feel you. Is this like a sports moment? Is it hip hop moment, facts?

Let me tell you something. When I sparred with Ja Rule, I was staying in the building in Jersey, Uncle Dan's building. When I hit the first floor, the man, the doorman was like, get him Crack. I jumped in the car, the FedEx truck pulled up. Take them to war. Crack. Drag them. By the time I got a Madison Square gun, I heard so much war. Like I was possessed.

Like, no, it's the closest thing to fighting, you know, going to like a vert. That's what you said. You was like, possessed.

[Jada]

Yeah, it's just a lot. It was a lot, man. Let's talk about Aaron Judge. What's up with Aaron Judge? How's Aaron Judge? Because we. I think I seen him at one of the Hove concerts, one of the 4. 4. 4 concerts. But he was enjoying himself, so I couldn't really couldn't ask him. How is he kind of teammate. Let Me see what type of guy he's besides a big somebody. Like.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

This guy's like, man, this man, bro. I ain't gonna lie. He. He one of the brothers, though. Like, he one of us. For real. He'd be hanging. He'd be chilling. Always on the music. Like, you wouldn't even know, but he loves music. Like, he'll go to the studio and, like, chill, you know, just to listen to it, you know? Like, he's one of those guys. He's like. You would never think what you see out there is who he is. You feel me? Like, he just chilling. Like, he's always, like, a vibe. You feel me? Like, always positive. I ain't never heard him say one negative thing in the world. That's the type of guy you always want to be around. You feel me?

[Jada]

Facts.

[Fat Joe]

I went with him. I was delusional. I flew in from, I think, Dubai, and it was the night that Kanye had the concert in Madison Square Garden where he was floating in the sky. And it was Beck House. Picked me up with Aaron Judge and a bunch of Yankee dudes, and I went with them to that concert. It's probably the most amazing concert I ever been to. But we dropped him off home and everything, you know what I'm saying? He was just a cool dude. You know what I'm saying?

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

He be chilling.

[Fat Joe]

Yeah, he was a cool dude.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Yeah, yeah. He be cooling, bro. He do anything a regular person do. Play video games all day. Like, he a big kid, bro.

[Fat Joe]

You know, I gotta keep it a buck with you. You gotta give me something on Juan Soto. What's the deal?

[Jada]

No longer his teammate.

[Fat Joe]

No, no, hold up. What's the deal with Juan Soto? Just a little something on Juan Soto because he left the Yankees. He went across town. I'm not gonna answer for you, but you could just say something.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

I mean, I love being a Yankee.

[Jada]

So that's it.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

I would want to be a Yankee, brother.

[Fat Joe]

Man who don't want to be a Yankee, by the way, I don't know if you ever been. Have you ever been? Because, you know, I did. I performed last year. I'm not shooting my own first guy.

[Jada]

To ever do Yankees Stadium.

[Fat Joe]

You said it, not me. But I'm gonna say something. Even though it was Jay Z and Alicia. But let me say something.

[Jada]

You walked on the Field?

[Fat Joe]

Yeah.

[Jada]

You and Ice Cube did. Yeah. Broke barriers for him.

[Fat Joe]

You know what I'm saying?

[Jada]

Alicia, did they. Bad Bunny or whoever, the walk on the field, rocking from the outfield to the infield. I was like, this is crazy.

[Fat Joe]

Yeah, I love that.

[Jada]

That was crazy.

[Fat Joe]

But let me tell you, some walking, too. Before I got on the field, I was in the inside. You realize inside the locker room how rich the Yankees got a baseball field inside the baseball field. Like, telling you, yo, I'm not exaggerating, Am I correct?

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

You right?

[Fat Joe]

Inside the locker room, it's a baseball field. Like, they swinging like, yo, you. I'm like, yo, they in the cold plunge they in. Am I exaggerating?

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

No.

[Fat Joe]

I never seen nothing like this. That's when you know, oh, there's wealth in the Yankee organization because they got their own baseball field inside the baseball field that we can't see.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Correct. The clubhouse is like the size of a baseball field. That whole thing is crazy.

[Fat Joe]

I came crazy. That was last year's news. And I stunk up the place, man. They don't want me back up in that locker room right there.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Now you gotta pull up.

[Jada]

Pull on back, man.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Come on.

[Jada]

Coming back for revenge, you got to.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Because that's what we coming back for.

[Fat Joe]

That's facts, right?

[Jada]

Your music career. What's up? How you. You know, you sent us some bangers, sent us two Heat rocks. How long you been making music and what you plan on doing? You plan on releasing a project? You plan on.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

See, I wanna release a project, but I feel like, for me, at least, I play baseball. So, like, I feel like people think what I do in my off time has something to do with what I'm doing on the field when it doesn't.

[Jada]

Exactly.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

It's two separate things. I come home right before I go home, I can make a song within an hour. You feel me? Like, it don't take that long to go out there and just have some fun. And what is ever on your mind, you could say, you feel me. So for me, it's just a way to release stress and stuff. And then my people love it. A lot of other people love it. I play it when I go places. People be rocking out to it. So I'd be like, you know what? Like, I'm gonna release it eventually. So probably within this.

[Fat Joe]

When you go bad up.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Oh, yeah. Every time I don't walk up to nobody else, that's fire. But myself. Yeah, that's fire.

[Fat Joe]

You know Yankee Stadium? It was the only form of inspiration I had growing up. I grew up in the Bronx, where it looked like a war zone. And the way we would know, you know, we'll see the lights in the sky. We know is a night game. And so you go in Yankee Stadium, the Bronx really dead ass. Looked like it was War zone. And we go in there, the grass was green, you know what I'm saying? So Yankee Stadium did a lot for me. More gave me a lot of hope. Walking up in Yankee Stadium just seeing different people from all over. And you know, we had a thing called, well, we gonna talk about the Torpedo bat. But bat day.

[Jada]

Oh, when they gave you the little joints that you. Yeah, bat day.

[Fat Joe]

They had bat day for, you know, no real bats, but for you just to get in Yankee Stadium, you have to have A$50, 2, 50 to go to the bleachers for you to get back home with that bat. Like you had to go from Yankee Stadium and walk back to your projects. They was trying to rob you in every corner of every block to get your bat. It's the Yankee bat. They bat.

[Jada]

You can bat somebody down with your bat.

[Fat Joe]

But it's hard though. You passing Vietnam, you passing Cortland, you passing these crazy ass projects that everybod wants. The bat you don't think about. Once they give you the bat, how do you get the baseball bat back to your projects? That thing was like the warriors out there. I'm not lying to you, man, but a lot of inspiration.

[Jada]

Trying to smuggle your bat back home from bat day. Now you've been playing for the Bronx Bombers. Was it like right now we in a rivalry going in the Knicks versus Celtics. How's the Red Sox versus the Yankees rivalry?

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

I mean, I feel like we've won it the last couple years from what I've seen. You know, I mean, like, I feel like it hasn't really been a thing lately.

[Jada]

Like died down a little.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Yeah, died down lately I feel a little bit, you feel me? But with the Mets, I think it went more to the Mets now. You feel me? It's like that subway series is like the thing right now.

[Fat Joe]

Like that's because that Soto in the Mets, that gotta be bad blood, man.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Yeah. So I feel, feel like that's the biggest thing going on with the rivalries right now is like that Soto versus Judge, you know what I mean? Lindor and Stanton like the names, you feel me?

[Fat Joe]

Like, you in there too, boy. You active.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Yeah, you in there.

[Fat Joe]

You super active. You always in something, every play, every move, something. You in there, you involved. See, I don't like going to see teams play where players are just standing around and you forget they even in there. You're active.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

No facts.

[Fat Joe]

Win or lose, you involved with what's going on. A question I want to ask you that I want to ask every athlete, right? So you grew up in the Bahamas? In Florida. When you come play for the Yankees, do you feel the rivalry towards the Mets or Red Sox? Always just another day at the job.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

I ain't going to lie. My first game with the Yankees was against the Red Sox. Bucks.

[Jada]

Wow.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

I got traded mid rivalry game. Last game would be the decisive of, like, if we won the series or not. And we won that game. My first game back, that's when I stole two bases. All that stuff, like, did all that crazy stuff at the end of the game. But it was like, bro. Yeah, you feel it. Like you step. Because, like, you step in the stadium and the fans start talking to you crazy, too.

[Jada]

Like, that's everybody crazy.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

You feel me? Like, when you talk to me crazy, I get active. I ain't gonna lie. I'm really active with it. Like, I hit a home run and I'm looking straight in the stands. I'm trying to figure out who was talking, like, you feel me? Like, I'm that guy.

[Fat Joe]

So you like me? You care about what you say?

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Yeah. Like, it ain't really care, but, like, since you saying I'm overrated, let me show you something. Are you telling me I'm suck? I suck? And I can hear you. You right here, so I can hear you. You know what I mean?

[Fat Joe]

Like, you way up there be like, yo, man, don't listen to nobody. Don't care. You the biggest. This, this. Yeah, I actually care. Like, you could be the smallest guy talking about me or whatever. I'll be looking at you, I'll be like, okay.

[Jada]

You feel me?

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Like, that's like the things you put away.

[Fat Joe]

And you have one episode went number two. I think y' all want to see us go number one. I'll show you how to go number one. Y' all got to retire me somehow. We too bad for tv. Like, you got to get me out.

[Jada]

Of World Series meltdown. What happened in game five with the 5. 1 lead.

[Fat Joe]

Just don't 5 game five. That's when I performed. That's another shot.

[Jada]

This is how we get to the bottom of this track. You know what I mean? You know how you. You gotta curse some things on the table? Listen, we gotta iron it out, then we can throw it out.

[Fat Joe]

That was the game.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

You were at it. You didn't perform that game. Game.

[Fat Joe]

Not that game. I was at the game, though. Yeah, when judge missed the ball like.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

No, you was at the game.

[Jada]

I saw you. Tell us what happened, right? Tell us.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

I don't know what happened. Baseball happened, bro. What you want me to say, like, baseball is baseball, bro. Like, you could be standing right here.

[Jada]

You understand what I'm trying to do?

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

And it's gone.

[Jada]

He wants to retire. He want to forget about that and get on with it. You're gonna help us. Just think about this season and forget about the whole World Series meltdown.

[Fat Joe]

Baseball player told me once, super legend. Not a regular one, Reggie.

[Jada]

Yeah, that's what I was about to say.

[Fat Joe]

Oh, no, no. Super. I. Well, three fourths of a legend, I guess.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Okay.

[Fat Joe]

What the hell you want me to do? When I. I went to CC Sabathia's. That's a legend. No, no, I'm. I'm not talking about him. But I went to his remarriage. He married in a castle with like. Like, where they make wine and shit in San Francisco and all that, right? E40. What's the name of that? Napa Valley or something. But I hung out with a bunch of baseball legends that the guy, all legends. And I asked him, when is it over? And super legend told me, it ain't over to the last strike. He's seen comebacks down to the last strike. So they say the game ain't over till. Do you agree?

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Yeah. Like, bro, you. The other day, it was a team up nine in the eighth inning and they lost 11 to eight or something like that.

[Fat Joe]

That gotta hurt.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

What? That's the most annoying ever, bro. I ain't gonna cap. Like, that's the. That really gets you. Like, what the hell?

[Fat Joe]

Like, what the hell?

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

I swear.

[Fat Joe]

Yo, let me ask you about what The Torpedo, they went. Ham is everything.

[Jada]

I wish you would have bought us two Torpedo bats here today.

[Fat Joe]

Is everyone using the Torpedo in the. In. In the Major League Baseball? It's just the Yankees using the Torpedo.

[Jada]

I get a Torpedo back.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

It's so funny because I feel like everybody using. Everybody is using it. Lindor. Everybody using it just ain't working.

[Fat Joe]

Like, y' all work. Y' all making it work.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

That was just like. Like crazy because it's just like everybody just zoomed in on the bats just because we were playing good. You feel me? Like, half of our team don't even use them. You feel me? Like, half uses them, half don't. And sometimes I don't even use them. Like, sometimes I go up there with the Torpedo. Sometimes I go there.

[Fat Joe]

You were smacking it out the park. And. And so, like, you know, it gave us.

[Jada]

What's the mistake with them Torpedo?

[Fat Joe]

They were hitting them out the park, every single bat up. And then, you know, the people say we was cheating.

[Jada]

They try to say we was cheating too much. Everybody can use them, right?

[Fat Joe]

Yeah, everybody. Too much time.

[Jada]

How the hell we cheating if we.

[Fat Joe]

Everybody using them?

[Jada]

Yeah.

[Fat Joe]

Correct.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Yeah, Everybody using them.

[Fat Joe]

But you hitting them out the park.

[Jada]

They built our park to hit homers.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

The aerodynamics, you gotta take advantage of it.

[Jada]

Yeah. Now playing with hercs on, See you got some nice jewelry I've been seeing. It started like little joints with a cross on it. Now you see it's. I'm looking at the games they got. They can go right from the outfield on stage. They got crazy shit. What's up with all this jury during the game, bro?

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

That's crazy. Cause, like, when I first got to the league, that wasn't happening. That wasn't a thing. Before I got to the league, like, yeah, guys had on, like, their little chains. Small, like one chain. Like, I came in the league and I was like, you know what? I'm gonna wear all three of my chains. I'm gonna have a normal gold one. I'm gonna have a gold with diamonds, and then I'm gonna have a gold with a gold lock with a diamond lock. Like, I was just doing it all like that rookie year, then second year, I started to, like, design my chains. Like, I had cross chains, like, all type of different pendants and stuff like that. And then, like, by my third year, fourth year, like, everybody started rocking chains. And I was like, you ain't.

[Fat Joe]

You ain't batting up with some big ass now.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

I wasn't going. This one. Nah, nah.

[Jada]

That's a little bit crazy to go.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Yeah, that's big. That's big. I couldn't do this. But, like, like, all my chains now, like, when I realized everybody started to do the chain trend, like, where Cubans and diamond chains, I just started, like, making my chains wearing one chain again, but just making it super fire and super detailed, like towards whatever I want it to be. You feel me?

[Jada]

Yeah.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

That's how I just differentiate myself as.

[Fat Joe]

A hip hop fan and a fan of jury. I definitely appreciate when you go a batting up there and you got your jury on. I'll be like, yo, that, you know, he with us. You know what I'm saying? Train is coming, baby.

[Jada]

When I first seen you, your cleats was crazy. You had to. They was crazy as cleats than everybody on the field. How you feel about just bringing swagger to baseball? Just swaggering, period in life.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

I mean, that's another thing, like, coming into the league that you didn't really see much of. Like, you didn't see, like, the painted cleats. You didn't see the customized cleats before I got up there. Like, I got up there and it was just. I remember myself as soon as I got to the big leagues, it was like, bro, I remember who I was. I wasn't on a. I just left my contract with Adidas as soon as I got to the big leagues. And I was like, you know what? I'm gonna just try and rock out with my J's that I've been thinking about doing. I already had these painted up, waiting.

[Jada]

Like, I was already thirsty to get it.

[Fat Joe]

You feel me?

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Like, I was ready to get rid of the deal. You feel me? Like, I was ready to wear my J's. So, like, I go out there, I wear my J's. Like, the two different color cleats. Like, painted them up, anime, all that stuff. Gotta go crazy from there. Like, I went to Nike. Me and Nike came up with some custom designs. After Nike signed with Jordan, then, like, brought out the ice cream cone cleats where, like, they actually have, like, the pattern on the cleats. Waffle. Like a waffle cone. Like, and they had the ice cream with the slime going down. And, like, I just started to design them crazier. Because it's just like, bro, I want to get into my, like, my world. You feel me? Like, I want people to understand. Like, I could go out there and rock anything I want to rock and still be the freshest on the field every day. You know what I mean? Like, I could be simple. I could be wearing Columbia's, and I'd still be the freshest. You feel me?

[Jada]

Respect that.

[Fat Joe]

You know what's crazy is I collect sneakers, right?

[Jada]

Does he?

[Fat Joe]

No, no, but I collect sneakers. And one day I went to my idol, Derek Jeter, and I said, yo, man. Cause he was team Jordan. And so I went to him and I was like, yo, and I got a very beautiful relationship with Derek Jeter. And I was like, yo, I need the exclusive PEs, this and this. You know, he never made an exclusive pen. Like, Derek Jeter never took advantage of that Team Jordan. And everything you said you doing, he had them. He was like. He was the plug of plugs that never took advantage of that. You know, Melo got all kind of sneakers. Everybody got all kinds of sneakers. Derek Jeter never made a sneaker. Like, he never said, yo, let me get a Yankee pinstripe. This and this and that. And I was just like, damn, I had to verify that first. I thought he was lying to me. So I had to go deep in Jordan, be like, yo, they gotta be there. Was like, nah, he never. You know, he wasn't into it, but, you know, Cece had some cleats they made.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

They made him the one.

[Fat Joe]

The blue suedes, right?

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Yeah, Lovers.

[Fat Joe]

Yeah, yeah, I got those. But that wasn't.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Yeah, that's not his original.

[Fat Joe]

You know, he ain't go crazy, you.

[Jada]

Know what I mean?

[Fat Joe]

Like, Chris Paul went crazy.

[Jada]

Like, now, with your confidence and flair, do you feel people think it's coming off of arrogance because you just so confidence in yourself, 100%.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

I've heard that since I was, like, a kid, though. Like. Like, I played in the Little League World Series. I was hitting home runs and pimping home runs as a kid, too. Like. But, like, all I heard is, oh, you're so arrogant. You're so cocky, bro. I'm like, bro, I just believe in myself. Maybe you should believe in yourself. See where you get. You feel me?

[Fat Joe]

Like, you feel me?

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

See where you get it for believing in yourself.

[Fat Joe]

Like, who said I ain't cocky? I'm confident.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

You feel me? Like, my grandma always told me if I could go and do something and believe in that, bruh.

[Jada]

Stand on it.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

What? Stand on it. No matter who coming in front of you, bro, stand on it. So, like, that's where I get my stuff from. Like, that's why, like, with my music, like, after people started telling me it was fire, I could stand on it. I could go in front of anybody and be like, my music fire, bro. Like, you can listen to this, and I could tell you, this is fire. You feel me? Like, I go out there, I play baseball. Like, and then people ask me, like, bro, you act like such a regular person. And I'm like, because I am. You feel me? Like, I just hang, bro. I be chilling.

[Fat Joe]

Yeah, I'm surprised. Why fans or people just can't believe you a regular person? Like, like, it's weird. It happens to us. Like, oh, you a regular dude. What you want me to be?

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

I'm an alien.

[Fat Joe]

You know what I'm saying? We regular people.

[Jada]

Who did you think I was, a cyborg?

[Fat Joe]

I know you think we clones and all that. Like, you know, this show go number one. They gonna say, this is the Joe and Jada clones that knew how to do. People are crazy in this world, right?

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

You believe in clones, though?

[Fat Joe]

Hell, no. But what I'm trying to tell you is that I don't believe in clones. You believe in clones?

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

I don't know yet.

[Jada]

Oh, that was a good answer. In baseball. Who did you look up to in baseball?

[Fat Joe]

You're saying that there's human being clones? You believe that?

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

There might be, bro. There might be. I'm not gonna lie to you. There might be.

[Fat Joe]

After that, I gotta ask you. If the world is flying, do I.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Have to answer that?

[Fat Joe]

You could. Do you believe the world's flat?

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

I don't believe it's round. I can say that. I think it's a. It's not a sphere.

[Jada]

Oh, it's Tupac alive.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Nah, see, this is a different thing. Wait, one more thing. I think we're in a. You know what I mean?

[Fat Joe]

New York. These little town blues.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Sometimes, man, sometimes things just don't make sense and add up to me. So I just be like, you know what? I'mma just think.

[Jada]

Think I can respect that.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

You feel me?

[Fat Joe]

Yeah.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Almost in a snow globe type thing. You feel me?

[Jada]

Who'd you look up to playing baseball? Who was your idols? Like, who's some of the people?

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Ken Griffey.

[Jada]

Okay. Fire.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Yeah. Ken Griffey. Barry Bonds, a Rod Keeter. Robinson canoe. If you even look at my swing, and I always tell everybody this, it starts off with Robinson. Cano gets into Barry Bonds, and the finish is Griffey. If you actually watch baseball and you watch me swing, that's literally how it looks.

[Fat Joe]

That's crazy to me. Hold up. Jada, Jada, Jada.

[Jada]

That's crazy to me.

[Fat Joe]

Cause in music, I think I'm krs, LL Cool J and Heavy D. Right? But I understand in music, because I can make some girls.

[Jada]

So.

[Fat Joe]

No, no. I'm just. That's what I think I'm made of. But I'd never seen a baseball player or an athlete describe, like, you see my swing, it starts off like that shit is.

[Jada]

I think y' all both incredible. Cause I don't. I just think I'm me. I don't. I never looked at me with.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

You never, like, just stole things from. That's like Kobe.

[Jada]

I'm a repetitive still. But I. I still didn't. I still don't think, like, I'm made up of. That's fine. Now I gotta go home and make myself something. I gotta go home and. And put myself.

[Fat Joe]

Who you think if you.

[Jada]

I don't know. I never thought of it.

[Fat Joe]

Could you think of now if you were to think of doing artists?

[Jada]

Because it got to be. You all had original. Those was original. I don't want to just blur it out.

[Fat Joe]

I really mean it. But I've been thinking. Every time I say I think I'm crazy, but the man just came up.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

In here, he said it first.

[Fat Joe]

That he said was flat and clones.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

That's crazy.

[Fat Joe]

Just before that.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

I ain't saying.

[Fat Joe]

I'm just keeping it a buck like.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

You know what I mean?

[Jada]

Did your grandmother teach you how to play baseball?

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Yeah, my grandma did teach me how to play baseball. Wow. Yeah, she played professional softball.

[Fat Joe]

Wow. You know, I know a thing about softball. They don't want me to talk about that. You know, I'm a legend in them streets, yo. I'm a legendary pitcher in the Bronx. I'm telling you. Softball. Stick ball softball. He said stick ball softball to go to the Bronx. They'll tell you Joe's a horse. You striking everybody out. I gotta pitch your name. Yes.

[Jada]

We gotta have a Joe and J.

[Fat Joe]

I'm too old now. I'm washed up. I'm putting him down. You ain't gotta move that much a lot. All my friends my age start working Rich's shoulders messed up. My man Rich the Bomber is messed up.

[Jada]

Look at the rules. Everybody got to have an ailment. All the participants gotta have something wrong with them.

[Fat Joe]

I am, I am very smart about not overextending my physical body when I know I'm gonna this up, up. Okay, I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it. What I gotta prove I'm gonna throw one pitch too many. Tommy John.

[Jada]

I'm gonna get Tommy John over a few softball pitches. Knock it off.

[Fat Joe]

I'm turning my knees is bad. And so the doctor would tell me when I was younger, playing pitching in the concrete. He said, yo, you pitching in the concrete that up your knees. I had to retire. Ever since I love so much, there's nothing I could do.

[Jada]

I had to retire. Listen, how you feel about the changes, a couple of the new changes in the game, the pitch clock and things of that nature. How you feel?

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

I mean, I like the pitch clock. I mean, it makes the game faster.

[Fat Joe]

Like, bro, you go home quicker, huh? Boy.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

I do love my house, I'll tell you that. But for real, it just be like sometimes it just is a dragon. I understand being a professional athlete and everything, especially like sometimes you need to take a minute to breathe, bro. Like you, you're in front of 50, 000 people like you feel me like every day too. So sometimes when it starts getting to you, I. I get that you need that. You might need an extra 30 seconds, but not every Day, you feel me? Like some games was going for.

[Fat Joe]

Some of them games.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

I love baseball, but five hours into a baseball game, I'm dead.

[Fat Joe]

I remember all that shit when I was little. If it went past the honeymoon, I.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Thought about what I was supposed to eat.

[Fat Joe]

The baseball game went past the Honeymooners, you know, yo, they used. I'm telling you, they. I saw a game that was so long that they canceled. The Honeymooners was supposed to come on. Yeah, like the honeymoon was coming in on 11, 12 o' clock at night. They kept the games going. Yes, you remember that? They canceled the Honeymooners. That was a long game, bro. Many, many years. You know, you probably wasn't. You wasn't that R. Kenny. That was my show, the Honeymoonist. They canceled the Honeymooners. I was like, yo, this game is long.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

I'm telling you, I've been a part of a game that was seven hours. We played 18 innings and I was only 19 years old. I was in professional. I just got like two years into professional baseball. 19 years old. We in Kane County, Chicago.

[Fat Joe]

They played you all 18 innings.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Who else was going to play?

[Jada]

You can't do no subs anyway.

[Fat Joe]

You get mad at Coach Tibbs for playing the Knicks 45 minutes.

[Jada]

Baseball, you gotta play. You can't sub, but you can't go back in.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Yeah, you can't go back in and out, bro. Them 18 innings, bro, you can imagine the score was. You want to hear the score of the game?

[Fat Joe]

What was the score?

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

1 0.

[Jada]

That was hell of a defense. Hell of a pitch. Somebody, something. Yeah, they have no torpedoes, bro.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

The diving catches, the double plays, bro. That game was insane. But it was literally seven hours, bro.

[Fat Joe]

Was it worth it? Did it fit?

[Jada]

No.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

What do you mean? You said, was it worth it? We lost.

Cause your man Edgar Balanga, a little man, Edgar Balanga fight Canelo. I'm out there with my family in Vegas. His manager, they gave me some suspect. Suspect for me is I'm not going 10th row. I'm not going five row. I gotta be front row. So you want all this because somebody you don't like, your enemy gonna come sit. Right? You notice that we call that the Joe Button seats? You know, them second row, I don't.

[Jada]

Even got a hoodie.

[Fat Joe]

Yo, listen, them second, third row, that ain't. I can't do it. I gotta sit front row. I'll give you my experience.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

What do you call them seats?

[Fat Joe]

The Joe Button seats. Them shit, second row, you know, perfect example. Him and 50 got some shit. And I'm sitting courtside of 50 comes.

[Jada]

He was right behind y' all.

[Fat Joe]

Okay, but he's behind us.

[Jada]

Those were still considered floor seats or anything?

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Listen, I didn't know that It's a.

[Jada]

A And I'm not trying to be.

[Fat Joe]

Disrespectful, but the man had a little something going on with 50. And why God put 50 cent front row. And he's in, like, third row. Like, that would bother me if I was Joe Buttons. It happened to me before. It happened to me before when I just. What?

[Jada]

We just squad. If he didn't bump in the fifth, would he had a nice experience.

[Fat Joe]

You got a good seat, but the problem is you got to always expect the Enemy might come from where, Yo?

[Jada]

What?

[Fat Joe]

No, what are you thinking? Trying to tell you the truth. The Enemy will come front row. Look what happened to Joe Button.

[Jada]

That's the only. Only example you can give.

[Fat Joe]

I'm gonna give you another one, okay? I went to a Baby Face concert. Yo, hold up.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

All right?

[Jada]

Let me hear this.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

I gotta hear it. I gotta hear it.

[Fat Joe]

I'm going to a Babyface concert. Once again, 50 Cent is the culprit. We just squashed the beef for 50 Cent. Everybody's cool. I'm in the second row. Natina got me the tickets. I'm second row. The man come and sit in the front row. Right in front of me. Yo, Crack. What's up, yo? Hi, Mrs. Crack. This. I was like, oh, never again.

[Jada]

Fifth? Yes, it is fifth. Then you.

[Fat Joe]

No, no. He's just like. It's him. I'm telling you. He might be like, yo, Where J, Dad? Third row, 3C. He'll come to 1C. I'm telling you. His guy is notorious for this. I learned my lesson that night. I was at the Babyface concert. I said, you're the team that don't ever. I don't care if it's Patti LaBelle, Stephanie Mills. I'm front row. I won't go.

[Jada]

I feel you.

[Fat Joe]

You call that arrogant?

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

I feel it. That ain't arrogant. I feel you.

[Fat Joe]

This is not. I am not giving the person the opportunity to sit in front of me. It's just. I. I don't know. It just. I want. It happened to me is what I'm trying to tell you. What happened to Joe?

[Jada]

He's standing on that. He don't like that. He ain't sitting in front of right there. Make sure I never invite.

[Fat Joe]

I went to the. Let me tell you, I went to the Balanga fight. The seats cost me. Let's just say close to a hundred thousand or something, right? But the problem was, you know, usually when you get them tickets, somebody sells them tickets. Obviously, the person who sold me these tickets, I don't know, because we buy them online, was Canelo's family. So I'm sitting, what, like this? My wife and my daughter with a hundred Canelo Mexicans. They all had Sweatsuits on. Like, you got Canelo this. And I'm there like. Like belonga for sure. I was getting my ass beat for sure. The cartel was in that. I'm sitting there like that. I'm like, how to. Am I lying, Chris? I'm like, how the I get these seats? Obviously, it was somebody in his crew or his family who sold their seats. But, yo, don't go in there. Like, yo, you gotta be very. I told my daughter, I said, yo, be very respectful in here. We might not get out of here. No, I'm talking about. Say they got a hundred canelo front rows. We're the three seats going for belonging, surrounded. The wife is here, the distances. I'm like, oh, we gonna get. Thank God I wasn't with my friends. Cause we'd have got pounded out.

[Jada]

That wasn't a good look. Yo, you represent your country. The first bohemian MLB all star. How you feel about that? Congratulations, All Star.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Nah, I mean, it was fun, bro. I didn't get to play in the game because I. I ended up hurting my back. But, like, to have that honor, like, just to be the first of many things. Like, in the Bahamas, it was just fun, you know, like, to.

Every time I see he owned the island in the Bahamas.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Yeah, these are easy. Yeah, they should have said excluding me.

[Jada]

Now on another note, community. On the community tip, you got the Jazz Chisholm Foundation. Tell us about that.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

I mean, so I got this foundation that I give. I give back to kids in the Bahamas, Florida and New York. So I have a little League in the Bahamas. I have a travel ball team through Florida and now I do camps in New York too for all the little kids. Try to give them Jordan cleats. I'm a brand ambassador of gloves and part owner of it. Aria. Absolutely ridiculous. So I try to give out free gloves, free Jordan stuff. And you know, I just try to give the kids like. Like from where I'm from, at least I'm from the hood. So I try to give all the kids from the hood like just the things that they dream of. Like. Like you said, like J's and stuff like that.

[Fat Joe]

Like I could tell you that. Me as a kid from the Bronx, I used to go to the game with the Dave Winfield foundation. I never forgot that my whole life. Like, you know what I'm saying? Even if it was the bleachers they would take. Summertime, they'll take us all over there. And I remember one day I met All Star Weekend and I seen Dave Winfield for the first time ever. I think it was like Houston. I jumped on his car. He knew I was Fat Joe too. He opened the door, Yo, Fat Joe. I said, yo, Dave Winfield, man. Yo, your tickets, man. It really helped me when I was a kid, man. That's a big thing when you help the youth and you get em to play their favorite sport and you support em and all that.

[Jada]

That's huge.

[Fat Joe]

That's a huge thing you're doing. I just want you to know it'll stick with a kid forever.

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

No, for sure. That's why I do it really is. Because like, I want these kids to have these moments to like meet their idols. Like, I have a lot of friends in baseball. You feel me? Like Aaron Judge is one of my best friends. Like that's almost everybody's favorite player. Like, you feel me? So, like, bringing him out to see the kids FPE in New York is big. Like, people love him. I got friends from Miami, friends from la, everybody. You feel me? Like, like, when you bring it in, these kids never forget it, you feel me? I was one of them kids. I met Hanley Ramirez when I was 12, and he gave my whole Little league team batting gloves. I still have the batting gloves, you feel me? I'm in the big leagues right now, and I still have some HR2 batting gloves that were plastic, you feel me? And I wore them in the Little League World Series. We wanted everything, you feel me? So, like, me and that whole team still talk about that to this day. You feel me? So I just try to give back and just create memories for all the kids.

[Fat Joe]

I love that.

[Jada]

Love that. And speaking of your foundation, I hear you have a charity event coming up. Why don't you tell us about it?

[Jazz Chisholm Jr.]

Yeah, so like I told y' all, like, I'm really big into fashion. So this is my second ever because of last year. I got traded right during, like, two days, right before I had my event last year. But this year I have a fashion show for my event. Every year I host a fashion show, have a couple companies send some clothes, donate some clothes for some models to walk. Walk, you know, I mean, like, I'm one of them. I always walk because I love having fun. Like, I probably perform a song or something like that, have an auction, and all the proceeds go to the Jazz Chisholm foundation for the kids. So for me, It's. It's on May 19th. And if you go to the Jazz Chisholm foundation website, you can scan the QR code and that's how you get a ticket. It's on Monday. Again, May 19th.

[Jada]

Support the Jazz Chisholm Foundation. Thank you, my brother. Sir.
