Just 2 dudes who brought NYC to its knees for an entire month.

[@KD_SWAGGER]

I met MC Jin after a NY Knicks game right outside of Madison Square Garden during the Linsanity era. I approached him about his music and gave him praise. I took a pic with him and posted it on my social media. MC Jin then wrote about our positive encounter on his website at the time using the pic. Great dude and I enjoyed this conversation!

[@fpeng3706]

My favourite musician and athlete coming together for a collab. This is unreal! What a treat!

[@davemoy692]

Shout out to MC Jin and Jeremy Lin who are the Bruce Lee’s of our time. The Rap scenes wouldn’t have been the same without your contribution and putting Asian-American on the map. NBA Champion Jeremy Lin!!! You make all Asians proud for accomplishing it all at the highest level. Not every NBA can be called Champ. You definitely inspired a generation of young Asian basketball players trying to pursue their dreams of making it into the NBA and winning it at the highest level. All the best to you two. Raptors fan here. Thank you for bring us the CHIP.

[@Regalman]

the rap scene was thriving but I hear what you are trying to say, MC Jin was the first Asian MC and he did good.

[@davemoy692]

@@Regalman Not saying the Rap scene wasn't thriving. Just saying MC Jin’s contributions help open up opportunities and diversity in the game.

[@calvinwong365]

​@@Regalman These two are good people and usually Chinese people that are raised in the states or Canada are more.humbled than compared to the ones immigrating/visiting/studying here.

[@jwong7777]

I love this!

[@hejiaji]

Really meaningful convo! love to see you guys hang out

[@claytonjesse1792]

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT AND MOVING FOR ME TO WATCH THANK YOU BOTH

[@nemartin1]

34:25 This shows the positive impact of the powerful influences and inspirations from people like you guys. I’m Chinese so I definitely won't be able to fully resonate with what asian Americans have been through in their lives. But in my opinion, no matter where you from, people won't respect your culture if you are not even proud of it yourself. Always hold your head up. ❤

[@user-pg8uh5kt3q]

One of my closest friends on college was from China, she had true faith and is with god now. I love her so much, she and I spoke and love each other across and without joking or judgment so many so called divides…the truth is, we felt exactly the same things..maybe in a different order and spoken openly about in very different ways..what an absolutely fun joyful experience to fall in friend love with my Maggie..I might not spell this right, but her name in Chinese is Bo Li, it meant something about CUTE. She is forever so truly cute and beautifully precious on my eyes, heart, soul, memory, part of who I am forever. So, I’m sending you a lot of love from America😍❣️

[@bigeasy5881]

This is amazing. We need more content from you two together..... NEED!!!!

[@user-ol5ru4qq4v]

[@kentgladwin9671]

Definitely love the conversation between you both! It was the most vulnerable ever and of course the short clips of linsanity journey was tough, MC jin was parallel of it. The interception of yours is what I'm challenging right now. Thanks for being the image of reputation. 😇🙏🏼

[@Junknown764]

This was amazing to get such a real conversation from two guys I've watched and respected so much all my life. We need more content like this.

[@mvan1108]

Mc jin is always so insightful and love his flow. Love yall both Jeremy and Mc Jin! ❤

[@iv4nK]

WOW, thank you for doing this. Pioneers in your industry, and pioneers for us Asian American males. We've grown up together and you are both truly men now, married, kids, the whole bit. And we know that your faith is what leads you. Keep using your platform for positivity and encouragement. This might have been off the cuff, but this format is not only good content, but as you said, representation always speaks a bit louder, so definitely hope to see more of this in the near future!

[@chiangchris8093]

Double J collaboration for creating a new song, awesome!! It’s amazing to listen to both of your interactions. MC Jin is the best!

[@blusef1]

Loved this conversation!! I would watch a whole series!! Thank you for the realness.

[@JelaniWood]

Yep would love more of these. You're one of my fav players ever and I'd love to hear more from you in a casual format like this... whatever this is lol. Also, you gave a shout out to shumpert. You should definitely have him on here.

[@UWThai]

Keep more coming Jeremy, you help God so much and yourself through this type of media. Hope to hear more from you brother! God's got you!

[@og_teacher]

[@GreatContinentofAfrica]

happy to see some JL content back in my feed!

[@LuvPacYoung]

Well done Jeremy and Jin! Nowadays too many nonsense talk show and videos clips, but this one you guys did is great. I thought about myself along the last 20 years when you both talked about your life and career path. Well done!

[@matthewyip8695]

Was just thinking of both of you and Asian impact in culture recently. Keep it moving and keep it going! We need to hear both your stories and how it relates to today's perception of Asian and Asian culture.

[@123Mathzak]

Lol I never wouldve expected you two to be collaborating. Been watching Jin since Grindtime and Lin since he was hitting game winners on the Knicks, glad to see youre both still doing your thing, so from me as a lifelong fan to both of you keep doing your thing :)

MC Jin getting touched and emotional at min 31:36. Following both their careers closely I really felt what they’re were saying. Thanks for representing what it means to be a follower of Christ!

[@HolaStallvito]

Man! two real life pioneers of as I entered my adulthood! Reppin!

[@joshdepaz1]

great job guys! Loved it!

[@kcnc429]

Linsanity and Jinsanity what a dynamic explosion! Love the laid back simple , honest, and truthful style with a positive attitude. Great podcast! I had seen some where about your diet and recovery in injury about Vit C and Collagen. I was curious as to what your injury prevention and recovery after injury prevention regimen was like (in various aspects physically, spiritually, and mentally) to resiliency; compounded with your faith element. Getting older myself and getting those aging pains, as well as a friend's daughters femur fx and seeking ways to encourage and complement an "orthocardia" for healing and mindset for recovery.

[@justanobody0]

Jeremy keep being you, keep doing what you're doing as a Torontonian, congrats on the championship in Toronto

I was gonna subscribe but i already was 😂 Keep these coming Lin! Great watch before bed, lol.

[@thousandjosh]

awesone show !!!

[@kateo4908]

I am a mum of 2 in Sydney Australia and have been thinking about for making this kind of radio show for my children and other Asian families in western society around the world for a long time. The topic in this show was touching and malting my heart to see 2 brothers in Christ they really do loving, sharing and caring each others, they are passing their passion of God's love through their lives, careers, shows, channel, families and friendships to those peoples around. Great ministry!! I pray that I could have a place for doing the same thing like you do but in Mandarin. I always encouraged my 2 children to be proud of their identity as a Christian, Taiwanese and Chinese. Perhaps more Asian parents could be acknowledged their culture background and self-esteem. My we be healed by God's mercy, use our life experience to transform our children to be a faithful person.

[@holybigball]

So good❤❤❤❤

[@Passion84GodAlways]

Can't wait to watch this!!! 😀🍿😃🍿

First saw MC Jin on a show made in PRC (披荆斩棘) and saw his interactions other artistes there, including those from HK (大湾仔). Overall a really nice guy and fantastic performer on stage.

[@kumbackquatsta]

[@stephaniechow9381]

Legit i second that about what Jeremy is saying about Jin on how he treats people. Ive met him at his comedy show in NYC and he treated me like i was just his homey!

[@raulmallari3394]

These two guys are pioneering and very intelligent, worthy of emulation by the Asian community.

[@allentsai6369]

welcome to TAIWAN MC Jin

[@justincariaso870]

Finally he posted

[@robbien3214]

What is this??? I don’t know, but I like it!

[@Googlyfoody]

哥们很有才气 可惜没有好运气 keep hustling respect the daily grind

[@mijunhong1]

If I saw the two of you on the street, I would think you were brothers LOL. Jeremy you are my hero through and through. There is of course the regret that you have been mistreated in the NBA in one way or another. However, I always remind myself that Linsanity might very well have not happened and that it is a true blessing that it did. I purchased a ticket to see you play for Beijing in 2020 right before the season was suspended because of the pandemic. My parents’ house is right outside of that sports center. I did see you play with the Knicks in New York and was hoping to get your autograph. Alas, I only managed to get one from Tyson Chandler. Merry Christmas to you Jeremy! You will always be my hero.

[@user-yq1bv6om6m]

Damn i love jin he's such a vibe

[@2UGamingProductions]

This is like the greatest collab for the Asian community. Needed Donny Yen and be the trilogy.

[@kinkin6864]

MC Jin.. we need more collabs with Bosco

[@user-pg8uh5kt3q]

Maybe spin the words you were already rockin for the title? What It Is, or The Way It Is, with Jeremy Lin? Omg I love the way you both chat together, makes me love our world so much more than I already do. Oh my god, three months in the hospital I did not know that..my serious prayers always with you, genuinely for your health❤️‍🩹🙏🏼

[@user-pg8uh5kt3q]

Aaaand I’ve reached my omg limit for the day in one comment 😆🤦‍♀️🕊️

[@sopharchan2022]

Let’s get it Lin and Jin

[@heidetermeg427]

Yo. I love details too. Would you believe that way back, Jin sent me a 3 minute long audio-file "just talking to YOU" - and Jin was just talking to ME. ME. He was so straight up as to record a 3 minute long thing about whatever I had asked him about, during an e-mail exchange. He did that. I can't forever forget that.. Thanks, Jin. That made so much of my future - you wouldn't know.

[@caesars.3261]

We need a podcast it’s time!!!!! Lecrae should join you too 😂
