In this vibrant and laughter-filled episode of Hey Janeé, Janeé Bolden is joined by her co-host Zada Luby and special guest—comedian, filmmaker, and multi-hyphenate creative—Zae Jordan. The conversation flows from the cultural weight of Clipse’s new album and Tyler, the Creator’s latest work, to Venus Williams proving age is just a number.

Zae brings his signature wit while breaking down his award-winning short film Mat Hot Sweat—a parody of Black musician biopics that blends classic R&B nostalgia with sharp comedic satire. He opens up about the grind of indie filmmaking, the art of great wigs, and how stand-up sharpened his writing and directing chops.

The crew also swaps “moments of joy,” from gym gains and YouTube milestones to the surprisingly divisive world of pickle-flavored chips. Plus: a side of house music, a sprinkle of sports inspiration, and a whole lot of behind-the-scenes laughs.

Whether you’re here for the music talk, the filmmaking gems, or the pure chaos of Zae explaining “dwerking,” this episode is a joyful ride through creativity, culture, and comedy.

Listen now for inspiration, ridiculousness, and maybe a new favorite chip flavor.
