Speaker 1: The morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne, the
Speaker 1: guy we are the breakfast club now we have in
Speaker 1: the building. You might know him. He was the safety
Speaker 1: for Harvard. Never knew that something every day. Doctor. I
Speaker 1: did not know you played football, Doctor, Yeah, I did.
Speaker 1: I came out because we're talking about the Jackson Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: who played the quarterback for Harvard a couple of years
Speaker 1: after the obviously, but one of the reason I went
Speaker 1: in the medicine was because of football. Because I loved
Speaker 1: understanding how my body function. I realized that's the different
Speaker 1: Everyone would eat food at the place called the Harvard Union.
Speaker 1: It's where all the freshman when the freshman Harvard Yard
Speaker 1: folks should go. And I realized if I eat good food,
Speaker 1: food that's good for me, I played better. And if
Speaker 1: I had the miserable stuff I had grown up eaten
Speaker 1: something oftentimes it wasn't. I didn't perform so well. Luggish, sluggish.
Speaker 1: When did you diagnose yourself with CTE? Have not yet,
Speaker 1: It's coming up soon. If I what happens, I won't
Speaker 1: know what's happening though, like a cussion of football. Since
Speaker 1: we're talking about him, would you advise your children or
Speaker 1: your son to play football, how would you want them to?
Speaker 1: So my son is captain of a football team. There
Speaker 1: you go in high school. But here's here's my thoughts.
Speaker 1: So I actually did. I made a little snippet for
Speaker 1: the NFL. And I am acutely aware of ct you know,
Speaker 1: chronic traumatic it, cyvelopathy, and concussions, a hack concussions when
Speaker 1: I was playing. All that said and done, when I
Speaker 1: got out of playing contact sports, because it's not just football,
Speaker 1: it's lacrosse and hockey. And you know, my my my
Speaker 1: youngest daughter got a back incussion playing basketball. She was
Speaker 1: captain of basketball team. Highball, lacrosse, lacrosse across a lot
Speaker 1: of people playing people whacking you with a stick. In football,
Speaker 1: you can football, you can all use your body. Lacrosse
Speaker 1: you use a stick to the person. So when I
Speaker 1: learned a lot about life playing contact sports, and there
Speaker 1: I think there are lots of metaphors, uh to that
Speaker 1: you can extrapolate. And I think that if you're thoughtful
Speaker 1: about the injuries that might have happened, and quickly get
Speaker 1: you know, get out of the game. If you are
Speaker 1: having injuries. Some people have more than others. It helps.
Speaker 1: The other thing is professional football is a whole different
Speaker 1: level of head contact in high school football and high
Speaker 1: school head contact high so right, well, I don't think
Speaker 1: it's you know, we try to coach across the country,
Speaker 1: makes you peep. Kids don't put their head first. It's
Speaker 1: all happens, I know it. But there's a lot more
Speaker 1: awareness to concussions than there were was ever before. I've
Speaker 1: done shows on this. Uh, there's lit those concussions scales
Speaker 1: their parents can use for their kids so they can
Speaker 1: tell their kids who have an in issue and get
Speaker 1: them out. But there's a risk. It's still there. But
Speaker 1: at one point do you draw the line that's the
Speaker 1: real issue? Right? Boxing was a line when I was
Speaker 1: a kid. I mean I boxed as well. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: you know that's a dangerous sport. I think at many levels. Crazy.
Speaker 1: Who to known it was crazy? I thought it was
Speaker 1: all brains. You know. The brains came because I stopped
Speaker 1: playing some of those sports later on. Also played women's
Speaker 1: basketball before you guys came in here. That's right, I
Speaker 1: was playing I played basketball with women. Now we're talking
Speaker 1: about common who was supporting your polo too? It's all
Speaker 1: I did was play sports? Who got in the way?
Speaker 1: What is this thing that you brought us? We thank
Speaker 1: you for the gifts. We see you brought us a gift.
Speaker 1: I'm posting this. I was excited to get in. This
Speaker 1: is the the Resumet S plus device. We have a
Speaker 1: partnership with them and we're giving away a million dollars
Speaker 1: of these devices on the show. And the cool thing
Speaker 1: about them, I think they're they're a fantastic device for
Speaker 1: tracking how you sleep. But they don't just look at
Speaker 1: how you're moving. They actually watch you as you're sleeping.
Speaker 1: That allows you to figure out if you're breathing the
Speaker 1: right way. They have restless leg syndrome they have You're
Speaker 1: not falling asleep by waking up too early? Are there
Speaker 1: sounds that are waking you up? And what is the
Speaker 1: temperature of the room, what's going on in your bedroom
Speaker 1: in that atmosphere that's causing you to have problems sleeping.
Speaker 1: And the reason it's important to me is I want
Speaker 1: to gain a million nights of sleep data. I want
Speaker 1: to have a lot of people get these devices inexpensively
Speaker 1: or for free, poke them up and use them for
Speaker 1: you and your family. And let's figure out why we're
Speaker 1: not sleeping as a country. Because when we don't sleep,
Speaker 1: we paid price with high blood pressure number one cause
Speaker 1: of aging. We gain weight, we have problems with our memory.
Speaker 1: That's a lot worse I bet than your head. Playing
Speaker 1: sports is not sleeping, causing Alzheimer's and loss of creativity.
Speaker 1: You also can't cope with life as well. These depression.
Speaker 1: Your immune system gets squeaks, you get the flu, but
Speaker 1: you also get cancer more often. So let's deal with
Speaker 1: the most underappreciated problem in America, which is sleep. So
Speaker 1: go to doctors dot com or sleepscore dot com, get
Speaker 1: some of these devices, get him into your house, use them. Uh,
Speaker 1: and then let's I'm getting the information, so I'll share
Speaker 1: the information back with everybody. So Charlottagne, for example, has
Speaker 1: got one of these devices I do. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: figure out how to hook it up. I'm gonna help
Speaker 1: you out. We're gonna come to you, we do an
Speaker 1: intervention at your home, and I'm also gonna took up
Speaker 1: your DVR while I'm there. What temperature should you sleep?
Speaker 1: Would you said temperature? What's a good temperature that people
Speaker 1: should sleep? Sixty eight degrees or less? If you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you're if you're fighting with your spouse over the
Speaker 1: temperature of the room, whoever wants a colder winds and
Speaker 1: when the other little trick puts socks on, because if
Speaker 1: you're wear in socks, the coldness the room won't bother
Speaker 1: you as much and lets your core temperature get colder.
Speaker 1: We gotta hibernate at night and subtle things keep you up,
Speaker 1: like some people are unaware they're walking up by sweating. Yes,
Speaker 1: sweat like a lot as I have this one comfort
Speaker 1: of that when I put it over me for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: it makes me sweat and I'll wake up sweating and
Speaker 1: sweat will wake me up. You know its TV. People
Speaker 1: sleep with the TV on. I can't sleep with the TV.
Speaker 1: That's the one of the worst habits we have. I
Speaker 1: stand when people sleep, checking and little every night before
Speaker 1: you go to bed. We asked a couple of basic
Speaker 1: questions to help track you. So when I know if
Speaker 1: caffeine keeps you up, with the TV keeps you up,
Speaker 1: you're looking at electronic slate at night. Some people don't
Speaker 1: sleep unless they exercise, And which is I find for
Speaker 1: myself if I do something physically active during the day,
Speaker 1: I can sleep so well at night. If I just
Speaker 1: sit around all day long, I can't sleep. So one
Speaker 1: Once we figure out what's going on in your life,
Speaker 1: it can customize advice. That's a whole time you eat
Speaker 1: at night sometimes that another good example. You want to
Speaker 1: generally sleep three hours after you finish dinner. But some
Speaker 1: people get away with dinner and coffee at night. Others don't.
Speaker 1: So if you get away with it, why hassle you
Speaker 1: over it? But if you can't get away for some
Speaker 1: people can't have coffee and even in the afternoon. I'm
Speaker 1: glad we're doing this because one of my friends actually
Speaker 1: specifically asking me to ask you a question about sleep now.
Speaker 1: He said that he keeps on waking up in the
Speaker 1: middle of the night with anxiety, and he'll wake up
Speaker 1: like several times throughout the night and feeling like he
Speaker 1: can't breathe, and I don't know what's going on, he said,
Speaker 1: Can you ask doctor us what is it that keeps
Speaker 1: waking me up like I'm anxious or I have like
Speaker 1: a problem now just a thug friend, if you ever
Speaker 1: killed somebody nor dreams? So these the tracking devices measure
Speaker 1: what kind of sleep you're getting. Is it REM sleep,
Speaker 1: deep sleep, or light sleep. You need to have all three.
Speaker 1: REM sleep is dream sleep, and oftentimes anxieties will play
Speaker 1: out during REM sleep. So the dreams you have, even
Speaker 1: if you don't remember them, we're pretty vivid. Now you're
Speaker 1: paralyzed when you have REM sleep, your body is unable
Speaker 1: to move. Otherwise you act out your dreams. So if
Speaker 1: your friend is having nightmares or events that are revealing anxieties,
Speaker 1: there's probably dreams associated with them. Interpreting those dreams can
Speaker 1: be helpful. But you don't just wake up spontaneously without
Speaker 1: something that's not being resolved deep inside of you. Again,
Speaker 1: that's one of the benefits of sleep. You reboot the system.
Speaker 1: And if you don't do that right you it just
Speaker 1: builds itself up during the day. So you're paralyzed sleep,
Speaker 1: I can't move. I thought hag riding you come. So
Speaker 1: when you pee in your sleep, yeah, that's not REM sleep.
Speaker 1: Now when you have the dream that's European. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: But first of all, most people don't don't actually pee
Speaker 1: when they're dreaming that they're peeing, But there are some
Speaker 1: people who have that, and that and and and you
Speaker 1: don't need to be able to move to pea. That's
Speaker 1: an involuntary motion like breathing, right, I mean you breathe
Speaker 1: even though you can't move. You can't voluntarily move. Your
Speaker 1: body is unable to act out what you're dreaming during
Speaker 1: rem sleep. Now other types of sleep you can, and
Speaker 1: normal light sleep and deep sleep you can move around,
Speaker 1: but your body isn't want too. It's trying to relax.
Speaker 1: You're trying to rest your brain exactly the same wavelength.
Speaker 1: I mean, they looked at each other, love was in
Speaker 1: their eyes and then I got heard wet and ram
Speaker 1: sou So again. But you're you know, it's one of
Speaker 1: those iconic human needs and if you're not getting it,
Speaker 1: you're going to start dreaming about it. But it starts
Speaker 1: to get louder and louder until you eventually want to
Speaker 1: act that on it. But people that you talked about
Speaker 1: wet dreams are real. It's not. You know, some people
Speaker 1: you'reinating their dreams of other people. You know exactly. You're
Speaker 1: given a bunch of these away. If we have a
Speaker 1: bunch of way and there these are they're sometimes these
Speaker 1: sometimes these seem is gonna be dispensive for people depending
Speaker 1: on their budgets. So they're super discounted if they're not freeze,
Speaker 1: but they're out there. Take advantage of them. Closest thing
Speaker 1: I can do to walking in your home and trying
Speaker 1: to help you get better sleep. But what I really
Speaker 1: need folks to do is use it on themselves then
Speaker 1: share it with their friends. We want to just collect
Speaker 1: information on people. We would understand what is it that's
Speaker 1: messing with I'll give example daylight savings time, right, So
Speaker 1: we looked at the data from these devices. The average
Speaker 1: Americans step thirty one more minutes with daylight savings. Now
Speaker 1: what does that mean? Put the clock back an hour,
Speaker 1: which basically gave you an extra hour in your day,
Speaker 1: helped you get thirty one minutes to sleep. That's a
Speaker 1: huge payoff. I felt way more awake today than I
Speaker 1: have in the past couple of months now, which has
Speaker 1: fantastic most Americans do. Now when we spring forward, we
Speaker 1: lose the hour, we have more car accidents, people feel badly,
Speaker 1: they're not as creative. So it just reinforces that if
Speaker 1: you control your destiny, if you could carve out one
Speaker 1: extra hour a weekend, you feel the way you do
Speaker 1: now all the time. We have more with doctor Oz
Speaker 1: when we come back, keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning, whatever, y'allas j and be hey, I'm Ansila
Speaker 1: y gobody named is Charlomagne Nagad and we just want
Speaker 1: to say happy holidays from all three of us The
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Mind morning. Everybody is DJ N v Angela
Speaker 1: Ye Charlottegne the God. We are the Breakfast Club. We
Speaker 1: have doctor Oz in the building. That doctor Oz. We're
Speaker 1: talking about sleep and getting better sleep. What about having
Speaker 1: sex before you go to bed? How good is that
Speaker 1: for a sleep? For most people it's good, but for
Speaker 1: some people it's not. You can you can track that
Speaker 1: as well. Put me right. Yeah, but if most men
Speaker 1: feel sleepy after sex, most women feel energized by sex
Speaker 1: in the house makes e exactly. So it's because girls
Speaker 1: don't really orgasm like so guys, guys got off with
Speaker 1: the girl didn't today, Charlotte need to finish. That's what
Speaker 1: happened to you. That's their house. So when you look
Speaker 1: at but we look at longevity and sex, it sort
Speaker 1: of cool. Women. It's not about numbers of time. It's
Speaker 1: about the quality of sex. And so it you know
Speaker 1: it is you could play it out. You could you
Speaker 1: could role play but play with By the way, he
Speaker 1: was on my show this week we're talking about men's health.
Speaker 1: I started playing with like two balls. Yeah, he had
Speaker 1: two balls he was playing with well he was he
Speaker 1: was gonna use his and I didn't want him too,
Speaker 1: So I made him synthetic fake balls so he can
Speaker 1: demonstrate how he plays with his balls. But the reason
Speaker 1: we did it was because all week long we had
Speaker 1: this partnership with the Today's Show. We were talking about
Speaker 1: November Men's health. We do this huge survey looking at
Speaker 1: what's going on with men, so you know, what are
Speaker 1: they admitting, what are they not admitting. So most men
Speaker 1: don't want to test touch themselves. They don't want to
Speaker 1: examine themselves. Even though testicular cancers, you know if young
Speaker 1: men is the most one of the most common cancers.
Speaker 1: So I was doing in a shower or in a
Speaker 1: tub when they're floating. Is that when you cough, No
Speaker 1: cops are hernia? Okay, you do, we do as part
Speaker 1: of the same exam, but you don't need to examin
Speaker 1: yourself for a hernia. That'd be uncomfortable. But your testicles
Speaker 1: being get into the shower, you just feel them he
Speaker 1: was everything and if you feel like it's a marble,
Speaker 1: they're supposed to feel like a walnuts. Two walnuts, right
Speaker 1: and one's notice the left was lower than the right one.
Speaker 1: They're supposed to be obviously, don't bang into each other.
Speaker 1: You know, the word avocado means testicle an Aztec. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because avocado is growing pairs. One's lower than the other
Speaker 1: and they so they don't bang into each other. Is
Speaker 1: there too, And they have that gritty feeling on the outside,
Speaker 1: and they feel like testicles. They're bigger than testicles, but
Speaker 1: they feel like testicles a restaurant, i'mous they hold the
Speaker 1: testicles testicles. Alphantiasis is a problem with drainage of the
Speaker 1: lymphatic system, so your testicles swell up with fluid that
Speaker 1: can grain back to the body. That's really uncomfortable for me.
Speaker 1: And it's usually related to parasites in Africa and South America. Yeah,
Speaker 1: is it possible to give yourself a prostate exam? We
Speaker 1: can try it. That's one of the other questions. I
Speaker 1: didn't get to this on the show with you. The
Speaker 1: average mail, the average mail that please audit this for me? Yea, yes,
Speaker 1: the average mail thinks the prostate exam takes more than
Speaker 1: a minute. Not to me, that's for play. But you know,
Speaker 1: I think it takes like ten seconds to a prostate exam.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. So prostate exams should
Speaker 1: start by tommy you're about fifty. It's not you're not
Speaker 1: gonna find much out before then. And we used to
Speaker 1: do it earlier, but we don't find a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff till fifty. And may make sure that you know,
Speaker 1: if the guy's both hands on your shoulders, that's not
Speaker 1: good either, right, checkout hand And I asked them that
Speaker 1: you check out. He was like, no, you don't do
Speaker 1: it until you're fifty unless somebody in your family has
Speaker 1: a problem or prior or there is symptoms that you have. Well,
Speaker 1: how can you tell, like what do you feel that
Speaker 1: you're there's the prostate has too little side like rounded
Speaker 1: surfaces to it, so you supposed to feel both of
Speaker 1: those round the surfaces. You don't supposed to feel anything
Speaker 1: that feels like it's an acorn or you know, I
Speaker 1: want marble. So if your doctors doing it before the
Speaker 1: age of fifty, he's he's looking for a good time. Now.
Speaker 1: Doctors sometimes do it earlier than that. If it's a
Speaker 1: family history. African Americans have a higher instance, right, African
Speaker 1: Americans have a higher instance to prostate cancers. You might
Speaker 1: do it there, but listen, this is a really issue.
Speaker 1: The reason that Sourt's debate over this blood test the
Speaker 1: PSA tests is that men don't realize that prostate cancer
Speaker 1: doesn't kill you usually. But in our big survey we
Speaker 1: did that was part of the survey the charlote name
Speaker 1: was part of. We asked over one thousand men these question.
Speaker 1: Eighty percent of men think, if you have prostate cancer
Speaker 1: and don't have surgery, you're gonna die. Not true. In fact,
Speaker 1: there was a big study showed if you had surgery
Speaker 1: versus radiation versus just watching it, the survival rate of
Speaker 1: ten years was the same. So it's dangerous, but you
Speaker 1: don't have to jump into it. Don't overreact whether you
Speaker 1: find something in a prostate exam or if you find
Speaker 1: a cancer from the blood test, you can't you get
Speaker 1: too aggressive too quickly. Ben still there. Then you know
Speaker 1: the actor talked about his prostate cancer this month, and
Speaker 1: you know he went eighteen months after his blood test
Speaker 1: before he did anything about it because he wanted to
Speaker 1: just watch and see if lifestyle will turn around. And
Speaker 1: we're learning in cancer more and more lifestyle makes a
Speaker 1: huge difference. Even sleep, by the way, makes a difference
Speaker 1: on how you cope with cancer. Sleep sleep not only
Speaker 1: does I mentioned cause the flu, but it literally does
Speaker 1: cause some cancers if you don't get enough of it,
Speaker 1: because it weakens your immune system. Why on American PID
Speaker 1: it's stifflo light getting prostate exams well, nerve endings back there,
Speaker 1: So the G spot. You know where the G spot
Speaker 1: is right, not in me, not in you? There, you
Speaker 1: have a G spot too. Women have a G spot
Speaker 1: that's um. They just behind you, put your finger into
Speaker 1: the uterus and you sort of pull up towards yourself.
Speaker 1: The G spots they are usually in women. In males,
Speaker 1: the G spots on the prostate. So men have a
Speaker 1: G spot that can be stimulated through the rectum. It's
Speaker 1: just you know, that's not how men normally get excited,
Speaker 1: but it does happen sometimes. Can I like examine my
Speaker 1: boyfriend if I'm like, listen, I'm concerned, let me just
Speaker 1: check in there. Since you encourage that on the show.
Speaker 1: When I did just show, you were saying that you
Speaker 1: should have your partner to do the exams on you,
Speaker 1: or you said prostate saw testicles. Yes, I wouldn't examine this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well no testicles, for sure. You should have examined him.
Speaker 1: In fact, you're probably better detective than he is with
Speaker 1: a prop for a prostate exam. You really want to
Speaker 1: wear a glove and not have nails like yours. How
Speaker 1: would you have that conversation in this herr? I'd be like,
Speaker 1: I'm concerned about your health? All right, Ben Dovo, all right,
Speaker 1: we got more with doctor Oz when we come back.
Speaker 1: Keep it locked as the Breakfast Glocal Morning, the Breakfast
Speaker 1: Club Morning. Everybody is DJ mvy Angela Yee, Sharlomagne the
Speaker 1: guy we are to Breakfast Club. Doctor Oz is in
Speaker 1: the build Olden that as I have to ask you
Speaker 1: this question. So I have this podcast called lip Service,
Speaker 1: and we had a woman on the other day and
Speaker 1: she says she has a really big clippers and a
Speaker 1: really big doctor. Now this kind of little penis, she said,
Speaker 1: it kind of looks like a little penis. I want
Speaker 1: to show you a picture of it and tell me
Speaker 1: is this something that should be a concern? Well, doctor right,
Speaker 1: how do I? Yes? So that like, no, that's that's
Speaker 1: significantly larger. You know, it's a really a miracle that
Speaker 1: we become males and females because it all differentiate in
Speaker 1: our mother's womb because we're all born, we're created the same,
Speaker 1: and then we split. So sometimes these things get the
Speaker 1: process doesn't complete, and so you're left in the middle somewhere.
Speaker 1: We've done shows on that. Well, they're in the middle.
Speaker 1: They're they're in the middle more. But again, people have
Speaker 1: lots of problems coping with this because they're not seeing
Speaker 1: They want to sort of being in one group with
Speaker 1: the other and they can't. And probably one percent of
Speaker 1: the population is not clearly in one group with the other,
Speaker 1: and they hurt themselves because they feel badly about it,
Speaker 1: which is, don't do that. It's it works out well
Speaker 1: for her. I think she makes a lot of money.
Speaker 1: It might be good for her in her career, and
Speaker 1: she's found her path in life, got blessed her. But
Speaker 1: there are a lot of folks sitting at home right
Speaker 1: now listening who might feel that way about themselves, and
Speaker 1: it's dangerous. I give a little test. It's a little
Speaker 1: more easy to talk about, so hold your fingers are
Speaker 1: pretty like this. Hold your right finger. Now, is your
Speaker 1: index finger longer or shorter than your ring finger? Which
Speaker 1: one is my index? For a second second in the
Speaker 1: fourth ringing this one, yes, mine is. Mine's longer than
Speaker 1: all my other fingers. Your ring fingers the longest, I
Speaker 1: don't know what, and the same. So for men, the
Speaker 1: ring finger is supposed to be longer. Ye. For females,
Speaker 1: the index finger is supposed to be longer. But sometimes
Speaker 1: we flip sometimes, you know, we're just because if we
Speaker 1: were exposed to hormones differently when we were a mother's belt.
Speaker 1: What does this mean? You're much more feminist? You got
Speaker 1: your classic male, Charloaigne's classic male, classic male. But I've
Speaker 1: always said you could tell how big a guy's penis
Speaker 1: is from his index finger. I'm a feminie. I don't
Speaker 1: think that's true. Let's take about it. Yes, I did.
Speaker 1: He's healthy, he's ready to go. He looked to a
Speaker 1: kind of on healthyn'ta be honest with you? According to
Speaker 1: his medical notes, the questions I asked him, he's healthy,
Speaker 1: and you know he's good enough to run and be president?
Speaker 1: Though well, he admitted that he said he's fifteen twenty
Speaker 1: pounds overweight. But that's probably the typical for a lot
Speaker 1: of Americans. I mean, I think you know, weights an
Speaker 1: issue that a lot of folks have to deal with
Speaker 1: it as they go through life. The problem is when
Speaker 1: you're young and have weight then because even more difficult
Speaker 1: when you get older, which is again going back to
Speaker 1: sleep again. Things like sleep. Dumb mistakes like that can
Speaker 1: cost you a lot. Because you don't sleep, you crave
Speaker 1: carbohydrates and all. We also set up with this whole
Speaker 1: month on the show, we're doing food hacks. We have
Speaker 1: the best chefs in America coming on to talk about
Speaker 1: how you can make meals in fifteen minutes or less
Speaker 1: and save money. But we're also going to walk you
Speaker 1: through some of the big food stores. How can you
Speaker 1: get healthy food even fast food places and not put
Speaker 1: weight on Because it's a big crisis and most of
Speaker 1: the weight will gain we'll gain this time of year,
Speaker 1: next two months, almost all the weight game for the
Speaker 1: whole year. So if you don't gain weight over the holidays,
Speaker 1: you don't have to go on a DIT in January
Speaker 1: because you're gonna wait the same as you did before
Speaker 1: the holidays. I saw you did this whole you're doing
Speaker 1: this also three day reset, yeah for people, So I
Speaker 1: was taking a look at that as well. I love
Speaker 1: that in three days you can reset the gut bacteria
Speaker 1: because when our bacteria and our gut do most of
Speaker 1: our digestion, we outsource digestion and so if we can
Speaker 1: get the bacteria to behave themselves, they will work better
Speaker 1: for us. So if you eat the right kinds of foods,
Speaker 1: things like alliums. You know what alliums are, leaks and
Speaker 1: onions and garlics, these are these are foods that go
Speaker 1: into our gut and feed the good bacteria. Within three
Speaker 1: days you can reset that system. So if you go
Speaker 1: to have an app, go on my app, you'll find
Speaker 1: the three day Reset challenge there. All of our recipe
Speaker 1: plans are there and lots of great advice. Download the app,
Speaker 1: take advantage of it, be card of the community. But
Speaker 1: most importantly, hack your food so you naturally you're going
Speaker 1: to lose weight without working hard at it. Nothing's healthier
Speaker 1: than laughing and having a good time with your family
Speaker 1: over a meal. But don't do dump things. Before Christmas,
Speaker 1: which is what most of us do. We get tired,
Speaker 1: we start having to go to a lot of office parties.
Speaker 1: Drink too much at those parties. Without that, you know,
Speaker 1: we have a heathonistic drive to eat that's unleashed by
Speaker 1: the extra alcohol in our blood. Right, So I always
Speaker 1: help people, always have a glass of water between each drink.
Speaker 1: It'll keep the hangover down, but also from drinking so exactly,
Speaker 1: and fight for your sleep over the holidays, because when
Speaker 1: you're again, if you're not sleeping enough, you're gonna gain weight. Naturally,
Speaker 1: you have more time to eat, and you eat the
Speaker 1: wrong things. Okay, doctor Oz, it's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning,
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. That was Tory Lanez with love Morning.
Speaker 1: Everybody's DJ mvy angel Ye Scholamine the guy. We are
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the
Speaker 1: building goes by the name of Baron Davis. Welcome back,
Speaker 1: Thanks Baron out here. And these creeks cashing in on
Speaker 1: the holiday ugly Christmas sweater phenomenon, Well, I think it's
Speaker 1: more than that though. For Black Santa Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: it's for us. It's like a cultural movement. Okay, um,
Speaker 1: you know the understanding that you know, my my grandmother
Speaker 1: always collected black Santas, and so the thought was like, Yo,
Speaker 1: there's there's nothing that represents us, you know, and no
Speaker 1: character really, no characters when you look at it that
Speaker 1: exude positivity or speak like us, walk like us that
Speaker 1: our kids can learn and grow from. So that was
Speaker 1: really like the basis I wanted to, you know, being
Speaker 1: a filmmaker and things like that. I was like, man,
Speaker 1: I need to, you know, figure out something that some
Speaker 1: people are devastated by the idea that Santa could be black.
Speaker 1: And we saw that with them all of America when
Speaker 1: they had that black Santa and people got mad's not black? No,
Speaker 1: But where you shocked that people really were protesting? Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure. You know, it's just it's just a sign
Speaker 1: of ignorance. You know. People people want to be divisive,
Speaker 1: and it's still a big majority of this country that
Speaker 1: you know just live off conflict and breathe from conflict. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: A two year old son, right, Yes, what do you
Speaker 1: tell him about Santa? I mean you see the image?
Speaker 1: He like, man, that's Santa. Ye like? But he you know,
Speaker 1: his his mom is half wit, half Brazilian. So you
Speaker 1: gonna take pictures with man, you're looking at you up
Speaker 1: the league. You take a picture of the white woman. Nowadays,
Speaker 1: Jersey sales drop. You believe in the in the magic
Speaker 1: of Christmas and Santacau Charlemagne said he you know, he
Speaker 1: tells his daughter that he said, I grew up joying
Speaker 1: witness so I never celebrated my wife do so, you know,
Speaker 1: and she's black. So you know, I just feel like
Speaker 1: everybody needs to have, you know, some type of positivity,
Speaker 1: especially around this season. You know, um, it's just a
Speaker 1: lot going on and a lot that has been going on,
Speaker 1: and we just, you know, we need we just need
Speaker 1: some positive vibes, some good energy and you know, no
Speaker 1: one what's coming and you know, these next four years,
Speaker 1: I think it's an opportunity for people to actually come together.
Speaker 1: You know, my favorite Christmas song with Santa Claus is
Speaker 1: a black Man. You know that song, not jingle bells,
Speaker 1: black Man, a little nice funky beat to it too.
Speaker 1: You're from Cali, So if you're from Cali, can you
Speaker 1: really rep Santa because he is already If you're a crypt,
Speaker 1: if you're a Crip, chrisp rep Santa Clause they were
Speaker 1: they were they rep the blue suits. See that's what
Speaker 1: I think. I'm serious, Well, we need to do something
Speaker 1: called Santa Blause triple og blood Santa Claus. That's what
Speaker 1: we're gonna do next year for the ugly Christmas Santa
Speaker 1: Blause with pop you know many bloods boy, that man
Speaker 1: they got no sat Brick is a blood man. We
Speaker 1: can't have too many gang banging Santas out there. Man,
Speaker 1: So what happened when Christmas is over? With Black Santa?
Speaker 1: So for us, we're going to marl Luther King Holiday
Speaker 1: with um. Just a campaign, just affirmation King, Queen dream um,
Speaker 1: just calling each other's kings and queens, telling little kids
Speaker 1: to dream. So you know, just kind of like a
Speaker 1: mentorship program or a campaign where anybody who does anything successful,
Speaker 1: you're just telling you shouting our kids and tell them
Speaker 1: to dream. You can be anything. So it's just one
Speaker 1: to open up their minds and opportunities to jobs. It's
Speaker 1: out there that they don't see. They only see the
Speaker 1: glitz and the glamour. But you know, if we can
Speaker 1: get everybody shouting out that message and then like T
Speaker 1: shirts hats with Black Santa wearing a hat to say
Speaker 1: queen to honor women and all the women in his life.
Speaker 1: So you know, we want to do things to just
Speaker 1: continue to be thoughtful, bring people together. We got a
Speaker 1: coloring book coming in February for African American History Month,
Speaker 1: which will honor a lot of the you know, past
Speaker 1: and also present legends that you know, people don't really
Speaker 1: get an opportunity to hear their story. You know, it's
Speaker 1: almost like every African American History Month, you know, it's
Speaker 1: the same stories. And then I was like, all right,
Speaker 1: all right, come on, now we out, you know, and
Speaker 1: for us, I think that it's it's a deeper dive
Speaker 1: into the culture. And that's basically why I created this company.
Speaker 1: It's like a treasure chest for African American wealth and knowledge.
Speaker 1: Well you're offended by referring to Lebron James team as posse.
Speaker 1: How some people were No. Jay Z just gave him
Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated Man of the Year award and he referenced posse. Also,
Speaker 1: do you think that was offensive? Yeah, for sure, it's offensive.
Speaker 1: You know, Um, these kids came you know, they came
Speaker 1: in people looking at them like a posse, you know,
Speaker 1: and from what they did, you know, they grinded, they
Speaker 1: stay focused and now they at the top of their game.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you come in as a posse, but you graduate,
Speaker 1: you graduate to executive business man, and you know, I
Speaker 1: just shot them out because they proved everybody wrong. They
Speaker 1: did it together, and I just don't think it's right
Speaker 1: to classify them as that when you know, you got
Speaker 1: agents and people like that, who are you know, kind
Speaker 1: of chucking and driving and justing these players and you
Speaker 1: know they get the utmost respect. So I don't think
Speaker 1: it's fair. You can have a possive executive businessman though, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that. But I think Phil really was stuck
Speaker 1: in the nineties and just trying to sound cool and
Speaker 1: you see a group black men, you want to sound cool,
Speaker 1: him and his posse. Yeah, but also you got to
Speaker 1: think that Phil is like the master manipulator, and you know, uh,
Speaker 1: he's great at creating media attention to you know, distract
Speaker 1: players and games. And you know, obviously and I ain't
Speaker 1: gonna work with Lebron James, but you know, he's done
Speaker 1: that to Shock, he's done that to Kobe, call him out,
Speaker 1: and you know, just to kind of start some media up.
Speaker 1: What's the best team in the NBA? Now, the best
Speaker 1: team in the NBA to me, um is the Cleveland Cavaliers. Really, yeah, well,
Speaker 1: the Warriors is playing the best basketball and the most
Speaker 1: exciting basketball. But the Calves are still in champs. You
Speaker 1: didn't really see that last year with you played for
Speaker 1: you played for both. Yeah, I played for both franchises.
Speaker 1: But who got the best place in the city? Cleveland? Uh,
Speaker 1: I feel like a girl that Cleveland due more because
Speaker 1: then I need to do that. That was a bad
Speaker 1: time for me and Cleveland. Man, it was called to say.
Speaker 1: I just stayed in my part morning. Everybody is DJ
Speaker 1: n V, Angela, Ye, Charlomane and God. We are the
Speaker 1: breakfast club. We got Baron Davis in the building form
Speaker 1: an NBA player. Are you still I'm trying to work
Speaker 1: to get back in the NBA. Yeah, I've still been, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, demon and dabbing. It's uh. I think the
Speaker 1: hard part is staying focused on just that, you know,
Speaker 1: because basketball is like a full time gig. So you
Speaker 1: know what you mean getting back into play, you gonna play.
Speaker 1: You've been playing in the D League though. I mean
Speaker 1: part of me for sure because I laugh at thirty
Speaker 1: two and I feel like you left some on the table. Business. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought I thought my career was over when I
Speaker 1: got hurt, and then I never thought that I'd be
Speaker 1: able to like walk and run and play again. And
Speaker 1: now I'm like, damn, dude, I can do it. I
Speaker 1: might as well try. But I've been trying, man, and
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's taking a long time. How you been
Speaker 1: doing in the D League? I did all right in
Speaker 1: the D League. Um, I think I went the last
Speaker 1: two weeks of the season last year. But I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna do it this year. I'm just gonna work out
Speaker 1: and trying to work out for some teams. I wish
Speaker 1: I would have did that last year. It isn't crazy
Speaker 1: because it feels like it probably never leaves your system.
Speaker 1: Like I mean, you've been doing it your whole life,
Speaker 1: literally kid, high school, middle school, college, Like you you
Speaker 1: ever feel like, Okay, I'm retiring. I don't want play
Speaker 1: no more bile never exactly. Yeah, it's and and to
Speaker 1: be honest, since I haven't been playing the last four years,
Speaker 1: it's been the worst thing in your life because you
Speaker 1: struggle with not just like oh I can't play, but
Speaker 1: it's just like the camaraderie. What do I do every day?
Speaker 1: You know, the attention to you know the routine and
Speaker 1: you know you're just sitting there like, damn, dude, I
Speaker 1: have nothing that's out there that's motivating. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't have nobody really to connect to.
Speaker 1: All the dudes that I play with, they all like
Speaker 1: in their life living the NBA life. Yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: looking at the like they go barn again, want to
Speaker 1: hang happy, and they're like, yeah, we know you ain't
Speaker 1: happy for it to go from the NBA to the
Speaker 1: D League. I'm sure you get your red like not
Speaker 1: as you know three years. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: because like it's not the same. No, it's definitely not
Speaker 1: the same treatment. Like what's it like for me? It
Speaker 1: was it was it was a route awakening and it
Speaker 1: was the it was a great humbling experience for me
Speaker 1: because I'm you know, it was like if I'm gonna start,
Speaker 1: I don't want to start from the bottom. So I
Speaker 1: wanted to start in the D League and uh, you
Speaker 1: know feel like grind and what it felt like to
Speaker 1: just wake up every morning to practice with the young
Speaker 1: dudes and like, you know develop, but you know you're
Speaker 1: standing in the quality in with a roommate. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like it's like yo, you know, I was like yo,
Speaker 1: I got a roommate. They're like, yeah, man, you got
Speaker 1: a roommate. I'm like you have to you can't get
Speaker 1: your own room, Like I'm gonna go down, said how
Speaker 1: much is the rooms? I was like, well, if we
Speaker 1: give you a discount, it's like fifty nine dollars or sit, man,
Speaker 1: I take four rooms, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 1: you're still sitting on right. Yeah, that's it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: you're flying, You're flying on propeller plane, sitting in the back.
Speaker 1: You're getting up at four o'clock, gotta get to the airport.
Speaker 1: You're checking your own bags and not saying like people
Speaker 1: don't do that. Yeah you know, yeah, you fly private,
Speaker 1: people take care of you, get food on the plane.
Speaker 1: You never have to worry about that. When in the
Speaker 1: D League, it's like none of that. No, it's no
Speaker 1: no classes, nothing class. So the philanthropy doesn't like feel
Speaker 1: a void like the whole you know, Black Santa and
Speaker 1: stuff like that, Like, yeah, Black Santa is kind of
Speaker 1: starting to be my basketball because it's giving me opportunity
Speaker 1: to like build a team around me. And then it's
Speaker 1: also given me the feeling that you get when you give,
Speaker 1: so you know, a lot of athletes, y'all. Y'all yourselves,
Speaker 1: y'all do a lot of giving. So that's that's kind
Speaker 1: of like an emotional hit for you. But you know,
Speaker 1: it's still like you have For me, it's like finding
Speaker 1: the creative, creating the stories, creating characters, things like that.
Speaker 1: That has become like a place where I know I
Speaker 1: can go to every day and have discipline and routine.
Speaker 1: But you know, it took me a while to really
Speaker 1: like dive into that. So I know why athletes that
Speaker 1: go depressed and things like that. And having your family too,
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's nice to be there for your son
Speaker 1: every Yeah, you know, I never had kids when I
Speaker 1: play in the NBA, so I didn't I didn't have
Speaker 1: kids after the NBA. So you had kids after? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Oh he was definitely bored its working, I got, you know,
Speaker 1: but I got two boys, and they kind of just
Speaker 1: opened my eyes to all the stuff that I'm saying now,
Speaker 1: especially like you know, how what am I gonna teach him?
Speaker 1: Like I didn't have a daddy, Like what do I
Speaker 1: say to him? You know, it's like that. So it's
Speaker 1: just like just trying to find different ways and you know,
Speaker 1: watching other people. You know, parent is for me an
Speaker 1: opportunity to just you know, that's why I start this company,
Speaker 1: to be able to speak to my kids and draw
Speaker 1: that connection between father and some mother and some other daughter.
Speaker 1: Father mother. You know, I respect you too because when
Speaker 1: you had to Jerry curl, right, you was like one
Speaker 1: of those first inter that sensations that got slandered ridiculously,
Speaker 1: but you held onto that curl to you was ready
Speaker 1: to get rid of it. Yeah, you didn't let nobody
Speaker 1: force you out there. Girls in the moment. You know,
Speaker 1: I was just I told all my homeboys, I say, y'all,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can ever grow hair again,
Speaker 1: but if I do, I gotta grow Jerry Curl. And
Speaker 1: so that Jerry Curl became my motivation for like working out,
Speaker 1: getting back on the court. I was like, Yo, if
Speaker 1: I can have a Jerry Curl and make it back
Speaker 1: to the I can do anything in life back you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. With the curl dripping on the court,
Speaker 1: I was sold. I was just a new ac green
Speaker 1: and the yeah, Becausember Jerry Curse is distinct. Smell good
Speaker 1: when you getting the curl, and Donna smell too great.
Speaker 1: When when you throw the activator in hell. No, my
Speaker 1: cousin's ex wife used to when I was eight, right,
Speaker 1: and I used to like it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But when she got a Jerry Curl, I mean the
Speaker 1: stop because I didn't like the smell. I'm dead as
Speaker 1: it was a smeller Jerry Curl that made me say
Speaker 1: enough is enough. Now when ninety nine, when you got drafted,
Speaker 1: the league was a lot tougher, Yeah, you know it was.
Speaker 1: That seems like it's it's a very easy league. They
Speaker 1: call a lot of quick fouls. It doesn't seem as
Speaker 1: tough as it is. What do you think about the
Speaker 1: league now? Um, I just think it evolved. You know,
Speaker 1: um who want they out to protect the players and
Speaker 1: the longevity of you know, guys getting injured, so the
Speaker 1: game has become a lot softer. Um. You know, the
Speaker 1: style is different, uh, you know, the way the way
Speaker 1: teams are coaching, the way coaches are coaching. It's to me,
Speaker 1: it's it's a very copycat league. So you'll see a
Speaker 1: lot of you know trends, like right now everybody playing
Speaker 1: small ball. Eventually somebody's gonna have too dominant big man
Speaker 1: and then the game is gonna slow down and then
Speaker 1: everybody will follow that coach. But um, you know it's
Speaker 1: definitely got a little softer, but it's more exciting. You know.
Speaker 1: I think it's more exciting for the fans, and you
Speaker 1: know that. I think that's what the game needed, that
Speaker 1: to make you feel like you can come back because
Speaker 1: it's not as physical. So I didn't for Enos a
Speaker 1: couple of years. Yeah. I mean, you know, I play
Speaker 1: my whole career either injured or you know, just trying
Speaker 1: to do everything I could for the team. And you know,
Speaker 1: I just wore your body down. And now you know
Speaker 1: it's just really like pick up, playing up and down,
Speaker 1: shooting three is going to the halls like damn. You know,
Speaker 1: I was born like five years two. Are you know
Speaker 1: what was your favorite team playful? I would say, um,
Speaker 1: Charlotte and City Golden State. Yeah, Charlotte. Charlotte was incredible
Speaker 1: because it was you know, I was young, I was
Speaker 1: a rookie and it was all about hoop and I
Speaker 1: had I had a bunch of funny dudes on my team,
Speaker 1: Like I was the youngest guy and all my team
Speaker 1: was like married, had kids. So you know, it was
Speaker 1: a great experience. And then Golden State of course, uh
Speaker 1: the year we believe it was probably like one of
Speaker 1: my favorite years because just the team in the bond
Speaker 1: and the brotherhood was like incredible. Now you are a guard.
Speaker 1: Yeah you think you could stick Russell Westbrook or or
Speaker 1: courage or I've been telling people this, Russell Westbrook dunked
Speaker 1: on me this summer, right, and then I was like
Speaker 1: the moment where I was like, you know what, dude,
Speaker 1: I probably can't playing the NBA now different though you
Speaker 1: can't com pat yourself the different I've never been dunked
Speaker 1: on like that made me feel like a man, like
Speaker 1: a kid. He old you're not thirty six, thirty six,
Speaker 1: thirty six coming off a lot of injuries wrestling the prime, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's not for a fair compression. But he hit, he
Speaker 1: barely hit me and sent me flying and dunked off,
Speaker 1: and it was just like, yo, did he really do that?
Speaker 1: Like did I really just got you know? Big boy?
Speaker 1: Like that morning, everybody is TJ m Vy angela Ye,
Speaker 1: Charlemagne the guy we are the breakfast snapping battles. We
Speaker 1: got a special guest in the building who left angela

Speaker 1: thank you so much. Now. I was calling you Drake
Speaker 1: like you know for a minute, and you were calling him, Well,
Speaker 1: I didn't. I still don't know the difference. Sometimes, but
Speaker 1: the album is good, But it sounds like you ain't
Speaker 1: developed your own sound yet. Broe Like you sound like trade.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you sound like fatty Wop on some records like
Speaker 1: what do you think that is? Who else? Probably just
Speaker 1: Freddie Fattie Trade, Freddie Trade. And I think it was
Speaker 1: the one song that people were saying, this sounds reminiscent
Speaker 1: of Fattie Wop. Okay, but I don't know about the
Speaker 1: whole album, Nicole hard Love. I like it. It sounds
Speaker 1: like trade though. Okay, no, but the album has gotten
Speaker 1: a really great reception. I know I was jamming to
Speaker 1: it as well. So thank you so much, and think
Speaker 1: and thank you to everybody who purchased the album, whether
Speaker 1: or not it was like you know, a hard copy
Speaker 1: or online or streaming. Yeah, you know, I'm just thankful
Speaker 1: to be at this point of my life in my career.
Speaker 1: I've always wanted to drop album, so the fact that
Speaker 1: anybody has anything to say about it is just makes
Speaker 1: me happy. You know. And you have three songs that
Speaker 1: are pretty big from off the album already, which a
Speaker 1: lot of artists will never see, you know, too successful
Speaker 1: at least, I would like to say. The second one
Speaker 1: is you know, waited, you know success. I like to
Speaker 1: say I have two successful singles right now that I
Speaker 1: personally i'm proud of and you know, I'm just happy
Speaker 1: to like you said that they came from the album
Speaker 1: and that you know, this pushes the album and things
Speaker 1: of that nature. I won't have been a fan of
Speaker 1: nineties music of course because to say it and then
Speaker 1: the everybody fall in Love some time. Definitely, Yeah, definitely everything.
Speaker 1: And that's that Toronto influence too for sure. That you know,
Speaker 1: we go to the because like you know, we we
Speaker 1: we grew up in like the culture of going to
Speaker 1: the basement jam, you know what I mean, all the parties.
Speaker 1: Why we like the well, I don't know how it was, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we was like the we was like we felt like
Speaker 1: we liked the home of that, like you know, because
Speaker 1: like that's where yeah, like that's how how it always
Speaker 1: went in the North. It's like you always had a
Speaker 1: basement in your house or something like that, and that's
Speaker 1: where all the parties would be inside the house. So
Speaker 1: um nah, definitely much pilund a lot. You were in Texas.
Speaker 1: You're in a lot of different places in the US
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, yeah, definitely, but I was in Texas
Speaker 1: like a little bit later, Like I'm talking about when
Speaker 1: I was like in high school and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: That's when we were going to the gyms and like,
Speaker 1: you know, because my wife heard the love joint and
Speaker 1: controller joint and she was like, that's west Ending. He
Speaker 1: was like, you could pull that off without being true
Speaker 1: west Inding. He's like, she's Jamaicans. He was like, he
Speaker 1: has to be true west because it's how for some
Speaker 1: people somebody that's not west Ending and tried to do
Speaker 1: that past but never said definitely. Nah, I'm I'm I'm
Speaker 1: actually Besian. I'm just Jamaican by association, and he's Beisian
Speaker 1: to like, you know, oh, now I'm Besian, Like um uh,
Speaker 1: Like my dad is is Beisian and my mom is
Speaker 1: technically from Guyana, but she she's from a Dutch country,
Speaker 1: so I'm Dutch. Uh. Carouseles out whatever how to say
Speaker 1: it blow because you know, say it was a record
Speaker 1: that caught fast, nastally. It seemed like there was a
Speaker 1: lot of money behind him because before we knew your
Speaker 1: name and before we knew your face, the record came in.
Speaker 1: The thing about that record was that was just the
Speaker 1: first time that I finally had got to push from
Speaker 1: like from like a major standpoint, like I was putting
Speaker 1: out records like this from time I want to say, like,
Speaker 1: if you go back into the old records, like you
Speaker 1: go back to records like TLC that I had on
Speaker 1: the Chicks tape too, it's the same effect, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's just like the records just kind
Speaker 1: of went over people's head because nobody knew me. But
Speaker 1: did that Baldy, because they knew your record but not
Speaker 1: your face or your name, saying nobody knows that you
Speaker 1: look like no, he's but no, no before but honestly,
Speaker 1: honestly up his record bigger than his face. Well see,
Speaker 1: now it's a little different, I guess, because I guess
Speaker 1: he's not lying though, because before, before this moment, now
Speaker 1: it was exactly like that. Now it's like, I go anyway,
Speaker 1: if you're blackie, you just like or if you're like, uh,
Speaker 1: some type of somebody who looks like you listen to
Speaker 1: hip hop or music or some sort you know me randomly. Um,
Speaker 1: But it's like beforehand, it was that exact problem. But
Speaker 1: I think my problem was I would never shot videos
Speaker 1: for the right songs, or I never was consistent with
Speaker 1: my visual base because I'm such a picky guy. I
Speaker 1: take more into the product of it, so I can't
Speaker 1: just do videos like this in post and stand in
Speaker 1: the corner, because that's just not my way. You know,
Speaker 1: I care more so. I think that was the problem
Speaker 1: back then, But now you know, I'm on my I
Speaker 1: don't know. The girls think I'm pretty all right. We
Speaker 1: got more with Tory Lanes when we come back. We'll
Speaker 1: also find out why he did Drake Controller record over morning.
Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ mvy Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy we
Speaker 1: all the breakfast club, Tory Lanes is in the building.
Speaker 1: What made you do Drake's Controller Over? I like the
Speaker 1: song We're you surprised that Jack move. We're surprised at
Speaker 1: the feedback of Controller because it's its like it's one
Speaker 1: of the biggest records in the club. But people said
Speaker 1: they like it better than the original version. Oh wow,
Speaker 1: that's great man. Oh no, man for me personally, like
Speaker 1: you know, we cheat the Beast like it's like it's
Speaker 1: like a y'ard thing, like cheat the Beast like rhythms,
Speaker 1: like you know, you hop on them and you do
Speaker 1: your thing. But I know at one point you wasn't
Speaker 1: trying to talk hop. I got the keys that day too,
Speaker 1: and I bodied that too. But it's just I guess
Speaker 1: people just reacted to them. But I said, you didn't
Speaker 1: want to talk about Drake because you want to do.
Speaker 1: I mean, I just feel like I feel like the
Speaker 1: media kind of makes it such a thing to the
Speaker 1: point where it's like they just want me to feed
Speaker 1: into it at every point and it's just not what
Speaker 1: it is. You know, I kind of do it on
Speaker 1: your own. I mean, I feel you do have a
Speaker 1: video for we really out here in Philly, real Torontoms.
Speaker 1: You get out here in Philly, the other guys. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I need know what we really
Speaker 1: be out here. You were like you are. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: Philly a nice try, Buddies. You didn't, nice guy, you
Speaker 1: did it. No, No, But I know what we're doing it.
Speaker 1: We're trying to sleek into this subject. We're not gonna
Speaker 1: do that. We had to talk about that. I told
Speaker 1: you that now. I would never bring it up if
Speaker 1: you didn't do stuff like that. And I'll tell you
Speaker 1: but I told you it's out now. You have a
Speaker 1: lot of artists support too on your side too. I
Speaker 1: saw a lot of artists, um, you know, promoting the album,
Speaker 1: like I saw Rick Ross, Meek, Mel I saw I
Speaker 1: push your t a lot of other artists. Are these
Speaker 1: people that you have personal relationships friendships with or is
Speaker 1: it just honestly yeah, I mean no, honestly, UM, I
Speaker 1: try to send music to everybody. I make hooks and
Speaker 1: stuff you're not write, you know, so you know people
Speaker 1: have heard about me, either through those weird ways or
Speaker 1: we've met each other in person, and it's always been loved. Um.
Speaker 1: I'm just happy for anybody who did you know, post
Speaker 1: the album, and you know, especially all MMG guys yea dingly,
Speaker 1: they all just did it. The reason why they did that,
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I mean, while I know personally
Speaker 1: told him beforehand, and he saw me before all. This
Speaker 1: has been my man from long time. I've been making
Speaker 1: music with me since the Swavy mixtape, which is like
Speaker 1: seven mixtapes ago and Ross. I just met him randomly,
Speaker 1: and I think the reason why he may have posted
Speaker 1: my album was because randomly, like the first time I
Speaker 1: really actually met him, we was in Miami. I don't
Speaker 1: know how. I randomly had the album in the car
Speaker 1: that I was just in, so I was randomly listening
Speaker 1: to him when he walked out of stud Between three
Speaker 1: booming and someone was like, yo, this story is just
Speaker 1: rows and we met each other and he was like,
Speaker 1: anything you need, I got you. But I think it
Speaker 1: was off the level you had mine and support choice,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think it was a calculation or
Speaker 1: something like that. Let's talk about your goon days because
Speaker 1: I'm listening to the album you used to be going
Speaker 1: and you broke into somebody's house, I mean, when I
Speaker 1: don't want to sit there and talk about exact and details.
Speaker 1: But yeah, but that's the thing. That's why you should
Speaker 1: cop the album because the album has, you know, stories
Speaker 1: that I wouldn't necessarily come in an interview and just
Speaker 1: talk about, because here's not things to gloat about, you know.
Speaker 1: My whole thing of course, and that's that, And that's
Speaker 1: the whole point of the album, you know, um is
Speaker 1: to show people from where we came. And that's the
Speaker 1: thing like a lot of people have and I think
Speaker 1: that I think that's about like, you know, even lot
Speaker 1: of my other interviews, a lot of people have this
Speaker 1: misconception about Canada and about Toronto. Like it's like and
Speaker 1: I do too, you know what I mean. But I
Speaker 1: think people have a misconception of how rough it is
Speaker 1: out there for us when we grow up, and the
Speaker 1: things in the politics that we still deal with that
Speaker 1: people don't think we deal with, you know. But I'm
Speaker 1: not here to you know, greasy up Canada. No, it's
Speaker 1: not what I'm here to do. But I am here
Speaker 1: to tell the real stories and to talk the stories
Speaker 1: that we go through as young men in Canada. You know,
Speaker 1: most men I know love Toronto, especially because of the women.
Speaker 1: That's because they're going downtown. They're having a great time.
Speaker 1: They're going outtown party and at nice clubs and doing
Speaker 1: great things. But when we're growing up, we're not doing that.
Speaker 1: Like we're not in any of those clubs, and we're
Speaker 1: definitely not downtown in the inner city. That's just not
Speaker 1: what we're doing. Like, you know what I mean, you're
Speaker 1: in your own neighborhood and you're pushed back and you're
Speaker 1: in you know what I mean, and you go through
Speaker 1: what you go through in the city so small that
Speaker 1: there's just no escaping anything. So this point, it's like
Speaker 1: all the young young kids, I'm who they look up to,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm the person that they look up to
Speaker 1: say to yo, I've seen him. I was out there
Speaker 1: and saw him. I remember when you didn't have that
Speaker 1: rain watch, that bracest, you know. But but for real,
Speaker 1: people feel like that, like I remember when he was
Speaker 1: sleeping on my couch. A lot of couches, A lot
Speaker 1: of couches, man, a lot of back seats, a lot
Speaker 1: of like yo, now I really talk like like I
Speaker 1: lived in a lot of cars and I sucked on
Speaker 1: a lot of couches. Bro I was at a lot
Speaker 1: of people's houses and I told a lot of people
Speaker 1: to believe in this, and and you know, a lot
Speaker 1: of people didn't believe in it. A lot of people
Speaker 1: just looked at me and it was like, can't foresee
Speaker 1: this thing that you see? You know, and that's why
Speaker 1: we're here at this point. And I told you it's
Speaker 1: out And that's what that I told you. It's for us,
Speaker 1: for all the doubters. And they say, is do you
Speaker 1: guys get along in your Toronto orders? Get along? I
Speaker 1: get along with everybody. I don't actually like that's the
Speaker 1: thing people think I have a you gotta stop drinking
Speaker 1: and even telling people they can't come there, but didn't
Speaker 1: come to the best saying you get along with everybody?
Speaker 1: Nice try, But every artist whether it's just a beeB,
Speaker 1: whether it is belly, whether it's whoever, it maybe weekend. No,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I'm saying. Like I get along
Speaker 1: with everybody. I don't have a problem with anybody in Toronto.
Speaker 1: Somebody has a problem with me, that's different. But for me,
Speaker 1: I personally don't have a like beef with me. If
Speaker 1: you're gonna know when I have beef with somebody because
Speaker 1: one of us is just falling out the cruise, you're
Speaker 1: gonna start seeing people missing from either my crew or
Speaker 1: his crew. That's just you're gonna know when I have
Speaker 1: a beef with somebody. I don't have a beef with nobody.
Speaker 1: You know, I want to make people disappear. I just
Speaker 1: don't under say. I'm just saying that's that's just how
Speaker 1: it is. Like if it was beef, we would it
Speaker 1: feels like how New York used to be when nobody
Speaker 1: got along and everybody did that. Don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: everybody does do the own thing. But that's why I'm saying,
Speaker 1: like if it was beef, you you know when it's beef,
Speaker 1: because then we just start playing score a board and
Speaker 1: nobody wants to play scoreboard. Who wants to do that.
Speaker 1: We want to get money. We want to get money.
Speaker 1: We came out here to get money, to be young.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Live all life. That's all
Speaker 1: all right. There you have it. I was born to Donkey.
Speaker 1: It's the Donkey of the Death Charlomagne Devilfast Club. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Donkey today goes to the NFL player Aldon Smith now
Speaker 1: Aldon Smith is a troubled young man who is currently
Speaker 1: suspended from the NFL for numerous transaggressions. I mean trouble
Speaker 1: seems to follow Aldon Smith, whether ranging from drunk driving
Speaker 1: to being stabbed at his own house party and sued
Speaker 1: by a man who claimed to be shot at the
Speaker 1: same party. He was arrested for another duy book for marijuana.
Speaker 1: He took a leaver absence and what the rehab He's
Speaker 1: been charged with three fellon accounts of a legal possession
Speaker 1: of an assault weapon. After this the UI in twenty months,
Speaker 1: he admitted himself in the rehab again. He got arrested
Speaker 1: the LAX for making comments to a TSA agent implicating
Speaker 1: that he had a bomb. Then he got suspended nine
Speaker 1: games and he was arrested the game for an alleged hitting,
Speaker 1: run the UI and vandalism, and currently he is suspended
Speaker 1: by the NFL for one calendar year for violating his
Speaker 1: substance abuse policy. Now, when you're suspended from the league,
Speaker 1: you can't participate in any illegal activity, which seems to
Speaker 1: be a hard thing for Aldon Smith to not do. Okay,
Speaker 1: when you are suspended from the league for violating the
Speaker 1: substance abuse policy, the last thing you should be doing
Speaker 1: is abusing substances. Now, Aldon Smith is twenty six years old,
Speaker 1: so he's any game him. And you know, they move
Speaker 1: a little different than us a these babies. And I've
Speaker 1: gotten to the point in my life why I don't
Speaker 1: chastise kids for what they don't know, because they're kids.
Speaker 1: You're not stupid because you don't know, you know, because
Speaker 1: you don't know things. You're stupid for what you aren't
Speaker 1: willing to learn. And Aldon Smith is stupid, okay, because
Speaker 1: he seems like he refuses to learn. Now, his latest
Speaker 1: incident is in the running for Donkey of the Year,
Speaker 1: Like this is a high level he haught status. It's
Speaker 1: an alleged pariscope video floating around that belongs to Aldon
Speaker 1: Smith for shows a man and a woman off camera
Speaker 1: engaged in and discussing a fire up session. Fire up session?
Speaker 1: Is them smoking a blunt? Now, I'm not the highest
Speaker 1: grade of weed. Is the dispensary? No pun intended. I
Speaker 1: tell y'all this all the time, but I think that
Speaker 1: if I'm suspended from the league for substance abuse, the
Speaker 1: last thing I should be doing is abusing substances, especially
Speaker 1: abusing substances on social media. When will you all realize
Speaker 1: that the things you do online will affect your dumb
Speaker 1: ass offline? Okay, contrary to your popular belief, when you
Speaker 1: are on pariscope, Facebook Live, and snapchat whatever you're using
Speaker 1: to record yourself. When you are on these platforms, we
Speaker 1: can see you. Okay, we can hear you. You're not hiding.
Speaker 1: But this story gets better. I know what you're saying, Charlomagne,
Speaker 1: How could this be in the running for Donkey of
Speaker 1: the Year. He smoked the blood on pariscope. People smoke
Speaker 1: blunts on pariscope all the time, being well being suspended
Speaker 1: from the league. Aldon Smith, he's saying it's not him.
Speaker 1: He actually tweeted out, good try not me. Well, let's
Speaker 1: listen to this video because we have the audio, mister,
Speaker 1: not me. The fire up session. They don't have my name.
Speaker 1: This is just a fire up session. So if you
Speaker 1: just put it on there, it's shut up. You help
Speaker 1: this to be you trying to smoke man. They don't
Speaker 1: know it's to me. It's not like I put Aldon Smith.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, say we come again. We didn't hear you
Speaker 1: the first time. They don't know it's me. It's not
Speaker 1: like I put Alden Smith. Oh, it's not like. It's
Speaker 1: not like you put what what? They don't know it
Speaker 1: to me. It's not like I put Aldon Smith. It's
Speaker 1: not like I put Alden Smith. Okay, So Aldon Smith,
Speaker 1: who post from this Periscope account all the time, who
Speaker 1: had other videos up on this account, is on this
Speaker 1: account smoking a blunt says it's not him on Twitter,
Speaker 1: but says it's not like it's him on the video.
Speaker 1: Let me hear that one more time to stick. They
Speaker 1: don't know it's me. It's not like I put Aldon Smith. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, okay, I don't care how good a pass
Speaker 1: Russia Alden Smith is. He doesn't deserve the privilege of
Speaker 1: playing in the NFL. No time soon. He's about to
Speaker 1: be twenty seven. I don't know when maturity will kick
Speaker 1: in for this young man, but he shouldn't be allowed
Speaker 1: back in the league until he can prove that it has.
Speaker 1: You are not doing Alden Smith, or at the world,
Speaker 1: any favors about continuing to pay him. I tell y'all
Speaker 1: all the time. Money doesn't change you, It just multiplies
Speaker 1: whatever you are, okay, And Alden Smith needs no assistance
Speaker 1: when it comes to being a donkey. In fact, a
Speaker 1: donkey with dollars just feels untouchable and invincible, so he
Speaker 1: will continue to do donkey things. So you have to
Speaker 1: suspend him in definitely from the league. Let his money
Speaker 1: dry up, let him humble himself and let him hit
Speaker 1: rock bottom and then we can discuss him playing in
Speaker 1: the league. Alden Smith has taken for granted an opportunity
Speaker 1: that millions of kids across the country wish they had,
Speaker 1: and if he loses it all, I don't feel sorry
Speaker 1: for him one bit and needs it should you? And
Speaker 1: if you do, let's listen to this pariscope video one
Speaker 1: more time. Place the whole thing, place this one more time.
Speaker 1: Oh boys, money, this is just a fire up session.
Speaker 1: Boy you help you trying to smoke mam. They don't
Speaker 1: know it. To me, it's not gonna fort Alton Smith. Okay,
Speaker 1: so it's not him. Oh my goodness, please give all
Speaker 1: this Smith. He don't know no about, he don't know
Speaker 1: about right now. That's like. And then the fact that
Speaker 1: somebody on the video said told him you shouldn't be
Speaker 1: doing this on video, told him he's hell is stupid
Speaker 1: and you know you're Hella stupid, Like, wow, oh my goodness,
Speaker 1: that's heartbreaking up. But we don't know that's him. It's
Speaker 1: not like he said, Alton Smith. Come on, they don't
Speaker 1: know it. To me, it's not got for Alton Smith.
Speaker 1: The Breakfast Club in my time morning, everybody is d
Speaker 1: J M vy Angela ye Lamine the guy. We are
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. We had a special guest and this
Speaker 1: is the only guest in Breakfast club history that has
Speaker 1: ever smoked up here. And you kere not gonna tell
Speaker 1: Snoop Dog no, like, did we get in trouble for that? No, no, no,
Speaker 1: Snoop Dog. Hey, we just had a healthy debate with drama.
Speaker 1: It's Snooped, the most famous rapper in the world. I
Speaker 1: said globally he said, no matter where you go in
Speaker 1: this world, no matter who it is, race age, everybody. Dog.
Speaker 1: I said, it was between you a whole. He said,
Speaker 1: you are the biggest brand. I don't know. It's kind
Speaker 1: of it's like an out of body experience for me.
Speaker 1: It's hard for me to say because I live with
Speaker 1: me every day, so I don't know who the you know,
Speaker 1: the biggest rapper is globally, But I do know that
Speaker 1: when I do go certain places, like it's hard to
Speaker 1: try to like camouflage the scott whatever. Even baby girl
Speaker 1: at the front desk, I just gave her another picture.
Speaker 1: What's her name? A little something? I get one NILP.
Speaker 1: When's the last time you've been somewhere and haven't been recognized?
Speaker 1: Has that happened? See, it doesn't happen on some real talk.
Speaker 1: I'm being honest with you. I don't even remember the
Speaker 1: last time it's been like that. I hadn't been the
Speaker 1: grocery stores, churches underwater. I didn't even look. That's a
Speaker 1: crazy this is a crazy part. I didn't been and
Speaker 1: done some you know, homeless work. When you go down
Speaker 1: their feet, the homeless and the homeless be like snoop
Speaker 1: dog what's happening to dog like man? How do you
Speaker 1: know me? You ain't got no TV, you ain't gonna
Speaker 1: I don't know. I can't figure it out. The idlest
Speaker 1: thing about your brand and your images that you always you,
Speaker 1: you smoke, you weed, you rep your gang, and it
Speaker 1: still transcends all races. Brands still want to be in
Speaker 1: business with you. It's fun, Charlomagne. What I represent is fun.
Speaker 1: I had to come to realize that everything I do
Speaker 1: in life is based on fun. And when people get
Speaker 1: down with me, they know that they're buying fun or
Speaker 1: that they being a part of fun. So that's what
Speaker 1: it's all about. I learned to live for the right
Speaker 1: reason and stop being so mad, having that negative energy
Speaker 1: even if people did me wrong. I learned to forgive
Speaker 1: and forget. See forgiveness. There we go again. I can
Speaker 1: show you, I can show you, I can show you.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's a hard thing to do, but at
Speaker 1: the same time, it makes you feel better when you
Speaker 1: forgive and you move forward in your life. Is right
Speaker 1: and you're not worrying about what they doing. You're doing
Speaker 1: what you're doing. Yeah, I was listening to the Northy
Speaker 1: Drinks Chams podcast. I was surprised that you said you
Speaker 1: and Sugnight are like cool now real clely. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: had a long three four hour conversation once upon a
Speaker 1: time where I met, because yeah, he was. And the
Speaker 1: thing was, when I seen him, I was like kind
Speaker 1: of slipping. I was like, you know, doing what I
Speaker 1: wasn't supposed to be doing, and he slid up behind me,
Speaker 1: and instead of me reacting the wrong way, I just
Speaker 1: went into my regular mode, like you know what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna lay, We'll walk up to the side of me.
Speaker 1: You can go upstairs and meeting. We went upstairs and
Speaker 1: chopped it up for like three to four hours and
Speaker 1: got caught up on some real love. Because it wasn't
Speaker 1: never that he hated me. I just think he was
Speaker 1: just disappointed that he couldn't control me. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying when you got to record lay, when you
Speaker 1: got artists, and I've I've done this before, you really
Speaker 1: won't control that artist. But some artists deserve their own
Speaker 1: control and their own landing. You gotta give it to him.
Speaker 1: He had to try to kill you. Though I'm from
Speaker 1: the West Coast to come with the rules and regulations
Speaker 1: of the game. You know, I knew the job was
Speaker 1: dangerous when I took it was like it was serious
Speaker 1: for everybody out there, Like Snoop had security guards, like
Speaker 1: to meet Snoop back in the day, and this would
Speaker 1: have been like fifteen years ago. You had to It
Speaker 1: was a vetting process like it was, especially after parking Big.
Speaker 1: This got killed is scary. But forgive him. If if
Speaker 1: Snooper could forgive Shook, I think I might be able
Speaker 1: to forgive anybody. Yeah, but you gotta learn how to
Speaker 1: love yourself first. You know what I'm saying that if
Speaker 1: you're a loving person, you can't go around hating people
Speaker 1: because then that's not love. So it was like, how
Speaker 1: could I hate him, especially that he down? Now you know,
Speaker 1: this would be the perfect time for me to kick
Speaker 1: him because he all the way down, But you know,
Speaker 1: this is the time for me to be there for
Speaker 1: him and be his friend, be be loved because you
Speaker 1: never know when you're gonna be down and out and
Speaker 1: you just have adjusted to this social media era so well,
Speaker 1: like it's a famous meme, but it got you with
Speaker 1: your head scoff on, I look like somebody unt Hey,
Speaker 1: Charlot Magne, I don't care though. One thing about leave
Speaker 1: you posted. I'm don't when people make fun of me,
Speaker 1: when they claim me and when they put me in
Speaker 1: a girl body with my head on it or with
Speaker 1: a rabbit. So I see it, I throw it up
Speaker 1: and I like, who did this to me? And I
Speaker 1: go right in a joke. So I don't understand where
Speaker 1: people get offended when I do that to them. When
Speaker 1: I do it to myself, it's like, it's all funny
Speaker 1: games and it should be about you know. When I
Speaker 1: got into the social media game, I didn't really understand
Speaker 1: it because I was like, I don't really want people
Speaker 1: in my business like that. But then I was like, damn,
Speaker 1: I'm the type of person that always go up to
Speaker 1: the fans. I always do this anyway, so I might
Speaker 1: as well just open up and you know, let them
Speaker 1: be a part of my world. Every day you got
Speaker 1: some type of zin with you, man, like you had
Speaker 1: to have some therapy or something. Just always you've been
Speaker 1: in this way, you know what. I think. I always
Speaker 1: had an emmy. It just had to come out of me. Um.
Speaker 1: I've been able to talk to some of the greatest
Speaker 1: people in the world, from Muhammad Ali or Louis Farrakh
Speaker 1: and It Tookie Williams to Quincy Jones. I've been able
Speaker 1: to talk to some of the great James Brown where
Speaker 1: I've been able to have long, in depth conversations with them,
Speaker 1: and they said certain things in me that helped me
Speaker 1: find who I am. And you know, with certain things
Speaker 1: about legendary people and people in their legacies. Once you
Speaker 1: meet somebody that's a legend and they tell you you
Speaker 1: a legend, there's something about that that you got to
Speaker 1: start patterning your game around them. Like what I loved
Speaker 1: about Ali and some of these people that I named
Speaker 1: that they were bigger outside of what they did than
Speaker 1: what they did. You know, I'm a great rapper, but
Speaker 1: you forgot about that right now because I'm doing so
Speaker 1: many other things. So that's what I want to be
Speaker 1: known for, all the great things that I do outside
Speaker 1: of rapper. That's what it feels like. It feels like
Speaker 1: rapping for you is just like a side hobby to
Speaker 1: just the Snoop brand. It's a layup drill, you understand me,
Speaker 1: R dunk contest when I need to get involved, you know,
Speaker 1: when I see somebody out there doing some new dunks
Speaker 1: and I'm like Okay, well let me see if they're
Speaker 1: ready for this move right here? Now, you and Martha
Speaker 1: Stewart are teaming up. What you know about that? You've
Speaker 1: been reading the news? Yes, I mean I think that's crazy.
Speaker 1: A dinner party with Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogs. Why
Speaker 1: is that crazy? They've both been to jail, they both
Speaker 1: got a talking about I just can't imagine. It's just
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's so she's a beautiful person, Like
Speaker 1: I see why all the home girls in jail loved
Speaker 1: her because she is such a beautiful spirit. She's down
Speaker 1: to earth, she's loving, and she understand the dynamics of
Speaker 1: having a good time. So me and her having you know,
Speaker 1: this dinner party. You know, atmosphere is beautiful because you
Speaker 1: wouldn't expect what you would expect morning. Everybody is DJ
Speaker 1: m vy Angela Yee, Charlemagne, the guy, we are the
Speaker 1: breakfast club Snoop Dog is in the building. Now we've
Speaker 1: seen a video of you and Game walking to the
Speaker 1: precinct in LA What was that all about? Explaining that
Speaker 1: why did you guys have to it felt like you
Speaker 1: had to do it well. The morning before it happened,
Speaker 1: Game it hit me and he was like on a
Speaker 1: hundred and he was hot and I was hot. We
Speaker 1: was just mad at all of the violence that was
Speaker 1: happening to these innocent people by the police. So you know,
Speaker 1: I was ready to do whatever. So I was basically
Speaker 1: following his league because I felt like it's a young
Speaker 1: man's game and he's younger than me, and he's gonna
Speaker 1: take the league, and I'm gonna follow this soldier. When
Speaker 1: he hit me back, I told him, I said, look,
Speaker 1: I don't want you to overreact. I want you to
Speaker 1: think about everything that you're gonna do and put a
Speaker 1: real plan together and hit me when you get your
Speaker 1: plan together, and I'm with you. So then he went
Speaker 1: and made a call to ferra Con for three hours
Speaker 1: and did all the things he had to do to
Speaker 1: prepare himself. Then he hit me back at about three
Speaker 1: in the morning, was like meeting me here at five
Speaker 1: in the morning. He didn't say nothing else, So I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. So I got dressed
Speaker 1: to go to war. Yea, you look like he was
Speaker 1: ready to think about this. When you get the back call,
Speaker 1: charlote man, you just show up. He just someone when
Speaker 1: be putting my shoes off to I'm a hold on,
Speaker 1: I'll be there. I was there, so when I get there,

Speaker 1: around and they passing off shirts and everybody on piece.
Speaker 1: And he got us all in the circle and he said,
Speaker 1: he said something that was so deep. It was like,
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't even know what I was gonna
Speaker 1: do when I came here, but now and I'm looking
Speaker 1: at the spirit of everything. This is what i want
Speaker 1: to do, and I want y'all to follow me on this.
Speaker 1: I want us to walk down to the precinct, to
Speaker 1: the precinct and reintroduce ourselves to the police department and
Speaker 1: let them reach and reintroduce themselves to us so we
Speaker 1: can get some sort of dollar all going. And we
Speaker 1: listened to him and was like, man, that is that's
Speaker 1: kind of dope, because we never talked to the police
Speaker 1: unless it's too late. Let's get that understanding right now.
Speaker 1: So while we're walking down there, police escorting us there.
Speaker 1: Then when we get there, come to find out the
Speaker 1: new recruise are graduating right now about to go hit
Speaker 1: the streets. And the matter of twenty four hours and
Speaker 1: were standing outside and the Chief of Police is there
Speaker 1: and the mayor's there, so they hear that we outside
Speaker 1: marching peacefully with the Nation of Islam orders. So they
Speaker 1: said the word that the chief would love to meet
Speaker 1: with me game and two other of our people with
Speaker 1: the mayor behind closed doors. So we went up there
Speaker 1: and talk when them chopped it up, got some understanding.
Speaker 1: Wasn't arguing, wasn't talking bad, wasn't you know, down planning.
Speaker 1: We was trying to get some understanding and some dialogue.
Speaker 1: They had a couple of meetings since then, and it's
Speaker 1: looking like it's gonna be a great situation in LA
Speaker 1: with the police in the communities because we're sitting tired
Speaker 1: of talking after the fact when we could talk before
Speaker 1: the fact. But it's been going on forever, especially in
Speaker 1: that later parst time that police ples with the Rodney
Speaker 1: King take. But it's never been communication. And one thing
Speaker 1: about La, we have sheriffs and we have police department.
Speaker 1: The Sheriff's department have minor incidents because they are sent
Speaker 1: to the county jail for eighteen months as a part
Speaker 1: of their training before they hit the streets. The lap
Speaker 1: D don't get no communication with the streets until they
Speaker 1: hit the streets. So there's a miscommunication off the jump.
Speaker 1: If you're scared, you never dealt with nobody from the hood,
Speaker 1: you don't know what he looked like. You now, you
Speaker 1: already got a different perception on it. But if you've
Speaker 1: been in the county, Gail, you've been around him, you
Speaker 1: know they lay go, they know you. It's a different perspective.
Speaker 1: When the sheriffs pull up. All the sheriffs won't the
Speaker 1: doping guns. If you ain't gotten on dope and no guns,
Speaker 1: they're letting you go. They're not gonna shoot you when
Speaker 1: they don't shoot you that much, but they're not gonna
Speaker 1: shoot you. On GP the LAPD they got a different agenda.
Speaker 1: So we were trying to get that understanding on let's
Speaker 1: get some different protocols so they could be around these
Speaker 1: people in the community before they start policing this community.
Speaker 1: Did you learn how to de escalade stuff? Like probably
Speaker 1: during like do you wish you had that same mentality
Speaker 1: during the whole East Coast or Coach fiasco? I think
Speaker 1: I did. At the Source of War that was a
Speaker 1: perfect example of the escalation because Suge Knight had it
Speaker 1: escalated to I've seen people reaching for pistols and I've
Speaker 1: seen pistols in There was no police security. It was
Speaker 1: all hood security. It was New York versus Death Row
Speaker 1: Records at that point, and my conversation on that stage
Speaker 1: brought New York to a point to what they said,
Speaker 1: you know what, We're gonna let y'all get out of here.
Speaker 1: To us, that looked hostile when it was very hostile
Speaker 1: because it was me saying that I know where I'm at.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, y'all know this is a
Speaker 1: gangster rap that we do. We don't just talk it,
Speaker 1: we live it. So if you're really really in the mix,
Speaker 1: this is what takes place in the mix. And at
Speaker 1: that time, Puffy wasn't with it like that. He was
Speaker 1: making his music. He wasn't what the you know, I
Speaker 1: ain't what the raw rob I'm with the music should
Speaker 1: was with the raw rock. And it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: it was a fine line because Puffy then was my friends,
Speaker 1: but I'm riding with Death Row and at the same
Speaker 1: time I'm in New York's was like, if I don't
Speaker 1: say the right words, were all gonna get you, damn.
Speaker 1: So I come back and kick the buildings over because
Speaker 1: something happened. Because something happened that I ain't gonna speak
Speaker 1: on that. We took that on the chin and said
Speaker 1: we'd just getting back on this side, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Like, when you involved into the art of war,
Speaker 1: certain losses you take, certain you know, sacrifices you made.
Speaker 1: It come with the territory, and we knew where it
Speaker 1: came from. We knew who sent the shot, and we
Speaker 1: never had a problem with him. We allowed that to
Speaker 1: happen because we knew in the art of war that's
Speaker 1: what happens when you you're getting busy. You gotta get,
Speaker 1: you gotta take what you get, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So it's like we lived through it, We survived it,
Speaker 1: We forgave, and we forgot, and we moved forward. The
Speaker 1: parties that was involved, we met behind closed doors and
Speaker 1: we got an understand it. Yeah, I know you sent
Speaker 1: that at me. That was a good shot. You missed, though,
Speaker 1: I forgive you. We're gonna move forward. I ain't gonna
Speaker 1: send nothing at you. When you're on my side. We're gravy,
Speaker 1: We're gravy. We're good. Can you tell the story about
Speaker 1: nags Man that was the first time you met Nolage.
Speaker 1: You said, yeah, the first time I met Nasty Nash,
Speaker 1: I was in Guardina on a hundred and I think
Speaker 1: it was thirty six thirty fifth, one of those streets,
Speaker 1: and that's a crip neighborhood. Yeah, shot guns. And I
Speaker 1: was out there hanging tough with my own boys, and
Speaker 1: a white van pulls up and it got like about
Speaker 1: fifteen sixteen people in it. All of a sudden, door
Speaker 1: some dude jump out. The sweatpants is lifted up to
Speaker 1: his knee with some boots only got on, all ready
Speaker 1: running right towards me. Homie is like, they all drawing,
Speaker 1: they from the draw down on him. I'm like, hold on, cut,
Speaker 1: that's the rapper from New York. That's Nasty Nas guns.
Speaker 1: So he come over and he shaked my hand. I'm like, uh,
Speaker 1: it's a pleasure to meet you, but let me let
Speaker 1: you know when you ever in La, don't ever jump
Speaker 1: out with no red or no blue on because you
Speaker 1: don't know what neighborhood you were in. Love one take
Speaker 1: my number down, so I'll high let you next time
Speaker 1: you come to this crazy because I tell you the
Speaker 1: time Nas pull out a gun on me. I rand
Speaker 1: up on Nas like that. I read up on Nas.
Speaker 1: I had had mixtapes in the bag. I read up
Speaker 1: on him just like that. Your nos, that's something for you,
Speaker 1: And I was going in my bag to pull it out.
Speaker 1: Not a good idea for me, I'll say, it's a CD. Guy.
Speaker 1: I said, what you got? What you got for me?
Speaker 1: You used a role like that at one point we
Speaker 1: used had a briefcase. Yeah, all that old stuff, man, Charlomagne.
Speaker 1: I'm peace now. What I understood about about moving with
Speaker 1: the piece when I had the gun and have gun
Speaker 1: problems will travel? You know what I'm saying. They said,
Speaker 1: have gun what travel? Have gun problems? Will travel? When
Speaker 1: I removed the gun from my game, I had less
Speaker 1: issues because I was able to finesse and able to
Speaker 1: be more strategic with my conversation. When I had the
Speaker 1: gun with me, I was, you know, reckless morning. Everybody
Speaker 1: is DJ mvy angela Ye, Charlemagne, the guy. We are
Speaker 1: the breakfast club snoop dogs in the building now, Charlemagne.
Speaker 1: And you said you first smoke we with your son, right,
Speaker 1: my oldest son. Yeah, yeah, we we did that question
Speaker 1: there on the breakfast club. I think would you smoke
Speaker 1: we with the child to keep it from doing it
Speaker 1: in the stream, because like I say, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him as the righteous way. I don't
Speaker 1: know what y'all gonna put in there. You may lace it,
Speaker 1: you know, it may be. I don't know, because it
Speaker 1: happened to me before. I've been laced with some things,
Speaker 1: so I don't trust the game. So I would rather
Speaker 1: get him, you know, school for me personally on the
Speaker 1: understand on what is and whatnot and what to do
Speaker 1: and whatnot to do. I think they did that to
Speaker 1: you on purpose because they knew you, Snoop, and everybody
Speaker 1: want to out smoke. Let me lace this blunt real quick,
Speaker 1: just to say I don't even take blunts from people
Speaker 1: no more. You know, it used to be asked to
Speaker 1: be in the crowd. I used to be reckless. Man,
Speaker 1: I be in the crowd and the ammy I'd be
Speaker 1: like open and I started looking at these people like
Speaker 1: I I'm cool. I'm gonna tell you how you influenced me. Recently,
Speaker 1: we were having a cookout and I was gonna make
Speaker 1: some turkey franks. Oh, and then my family was like,
Speaker 1: you gotta see Snoop, finding out what is in these
Speaker 1: hot dogs? And you're not gonna eat that again. You know,
Speaker 1: we threw the pack of franks out give me, so
Speaker 1: it ain't. That's the same. It's the same machine man.
Speaker 1: It's nasty, man. Did you see that? You have to
Speaker 1: see it. It'll make you never eat it again. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, horrible man. It's and I don't I can't
Speaker 1: get out. I used to come to New York. My hotel.
Speaker 1: He got a hot dog man that's right on the corner.
Speaker 1: Me and cub being cool for twenty years. I don't
Speaker 1: even look at him no more. I just brought quite
Speaker 1: past him like he like, snoop, my hot dogs are
Speaker 1: waiting for you. No, I'm good because I've seen what
Speaker 1: y'all doing. I'm cool on you. DMX was a few
Speaker 1: weeks ago. He ate four of them. He did right
Speaker 1: then he drank a whole bottle of Hendy and then
Speaker 1: he was hoping that he had four hot dogs to
Speaker 1: up all over the ship. That's my dog, right, He's
Speaker 1: the only person that ever got me to drink Hennessy
Speaker 1: at an award show. And I mean at an award
Speaker 1: show that's on TV. Like we was at the Grammys
Speaker 1: or something, and he was sitting like two seats down
Speaker 1: and he had a Hennessy bottle. He was just big
Speaker 1: doll you wots him And I couldn't even say no.
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, get here, cause I'm like, we're
Speaker 1: sitting up in there getting drunk in the Grammys in
Speaker 1: front of all these white folks with real hennessy, no
Speaker 1: cup straight out to the bottom. Shout out to DMX
Speaker 1: for keeping the hood Snoop, ain't never cared about your
Speaker 1: image in front of white face. I thought you and
Speaker 1: Jim mckimmeell, you said, gig the rappers back. I don't
Speaker 1: think it ever left because you gotta look at everybody
Speaker 1: that's winning right now. All theyre doing is rapping, gangster.
Speaker 1: You know, it's always gonna be some different styles or
Speaker 1: rapp That's what I say that we don't understand. But
Speaker 1: they didn't understand me when I came out. You know,
Speaker 1: when I was a young man eighteen nineteen years old.
Speaker 1: They had a different perspective on me, where politicians was
Speaker 1: running over my CDs and they was doing things. And
Speaker 1: see the lords, Tucker all, come on, man, it was
Speaker 1: coming at me and Tupac like we was the craziest
Speaker 1: man in the world and Iced Tea. So now to
Speaker 1: see me and Iced Tea in a position now where
Speaker 1: white America politicians respect us and love us and you know,
Speaker 1: appreciate us. It's a crazy game. But you gotta understand
Speaker 1: that hip hop will revolve and it never will change.
Speaker 1: It's gonna do what it's supposed to do. It's gonna grow.
Speaker 1: It came from New York, It's gonna come back home.
Speaker 1: And s I really got a chokehold on the game
Speaker 1: right now. Just we talk about that too. The soft
Speaker 1: going on to damn that might be the longest run
Speaker 1: ever out of the nineties worth. They got a chokehold
Speaker 1: on the game because you gotta remember they were the
Speaker 1: one who were disrespected the most. They were the ones
Speaker 1: who was always you know, kicked to the curve and
Speaker 1: overlooked ultra disrespect you know, their music. The country bunkings
Speaker 1: say this, say that really the West was the only
Speaker 1: ones who really appreciated them because we all came from there.
Speaker 1: Actually everybody came from the South, but we felt more
Speaker 1: connected to them because more of our soft routes were
Speaker 1: still in the South, so we could identify with the
Speaker 1: Southern rappers, and now I'm looking at them rocking and
Speaker 1: controlling the game for so long. It don't look like
Speaker 1: they gonna give it up because now they got everybody
Speaker 1: rapping like them. When you do that, when you get
Speaker 1: your style and your DNA, when everybody start rapping like
Speaker 1: the South, nobody ever thought that with that, right, That's
Speaker 1: what's happening right now. Design them ot Genis is like
Speaker 1: all these songs, they could be soft records all up there.
Speaker 1: It's this Death Row biopic happening after straight out of content.
Speaker 1: I know they've been talking about it and are you
Speaker 1: on board but doing that? I don't know about the
Speaker 1: Death Row biopic, but I seen the tupac all eyes
Speaker 1: on me and that it's good. Did they ask somebody
Speaker 1: in the movie that actually looks like you? Because the
Speaker 1: guy's great out of Compton did not look like you?
Speaker 1: Hat could he act like me? Not really? But you could?
Speaker 1: But you one on one though I'm watching the movie
Speaker 1: like you. I mean my port on my first two Nah.
Speaker 1: But the two part movie looked good. It's very well
Speaker 1: put together, it's emotional. It felt good watching the screening.
Speaker 1: It felt very good. The Death Row one. Would you
Speaker 1: be on death with that. Would you think that would
Speaker 1: be the only way I would do a death Row movie?
Speaker 1: Is if me and Suge Knight told the story through
Speaker 1: our eyes. No, Dre wouldn't need dre eyes. Dre did
Speaker 1: straight out of compident. It's it's just because I feel
Speaker 1: like Snoop and Sugar was the was the tension and
Speaker 1: the excitement of death Row. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: If you told it through our eyes and you would
Speaker 1: get what people want to see when it comes to
Speaker 1: death Row, Dre's eyes on Death Row wasn't really what
Speaker 1: you really want to see. That's why he left. Were
Speaker 1: the ones that was making the movie with keeping it popping.
Speaker 1: Dre was basically trying to find a way out, and
Speaker 1: then he found the way out and he left. We
Speaker 1: was dealing with the politics of gang bang and the
Speaker 1: politics of infrastructure being wrong. Some of my homies didn't
Speaker 1: like his homies. Some of my homies shot at his homies.
Speaker 1: He shot at some of my homies. It was like
Speaker 1: it was a lot of and then we had to
Speaker 1: become cool, and then we became uncool, and he paid
Speaker 1: some of my homies to be down. What Eman. It
Speaker 1: was just that to me, is the better story because
Speaker 1: now we're cool now, so we could sit in a
Speaker 1: room and we could tell the truth on what it
Speaker 1: was and how we got to where we are now.
Speaker 1: You um executive producing Bows last album. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's my little home. I'm gonna try to get
Speaker 1: him all the way right because I felt like he
Speaker 1: still got something to say. We are you gonna talk
Speaker 1: about at this point? Though? We gotta figure that part out.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna believe that that's what you're not gonna
Speaker 1: That's why I think I need to be there to
Speaker 1: help the shape and mold it and make sure it's
Speaker 1: very believable, because it's unbelievable of his gangs, but we
Speaker 1: appreciate joining us. I love which Snoop comes up in
Speaker 1: I Now we could talk to Snoop all day. I'll
Speaker 1: be watching y'all to y'all know that, right, I'll be
Speaker 1: tuned in, like I don't get to listen to y'all
Speaker 1: album the way. I like that. And I didn't pay
Speaker 1: y'all it, the labels said, and I was like, we're
Speaker 1: gonna have to get this class. We're gonna have to
Speaker 1: pay them nothing when they hear this, that's what they're
Speaker 1: gonna get paid off here and this email, he was like,
Speaker 1: you gotta aska, but the labels be sold. They'd be
Speaker 1: so concerned with, you know, making sure that. I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: this is my family right here. Man, I wouldn't have
Speaker 1: put them on there if they wasn't family. Man, this
Speaker 1: is what we do. We're gonna do. Snoop happened though,
Speaker 1: Charlotte Man, Charlotte Man, I've done a conversation with somebody
Speaker 1: what dude called me telling me how much he loved me,
Speaker 1: and whoop, whoo whoop, and I put it on the album.
Speaker 1: Three weeks later, he sued me. No, man, right, let's
Speaker 1: rethink this. Breakfast class. I get y'all some free tickets
Speaker 1: when I perform on but I saw you getting through
Speaker 1: it. It It ain't no fun real, yeah, I just on TMZ.
Speaker 1: Some artists are saying that they had that song and
Speaker 1: they was gonna put it out the hook and then
Speaker 1: you guys took it and he knew funnest and they
Speaker 1: dog is resting piece. So now they're gonna disrespect my homeboy.
Speaker 1: Now I might have to go gangster on this from right,
Speaker 1: So don't don't do this. I'm not even gonna pay
Speaker 1: no at the edge, I think you're trying to get
Speaker 1: me riled up. You want me to leave body here
Speaker 1: with the attitude. I did see that where it just
Speaker 1: really somebody in Lyne because actually warn G and Dace
Speaker 1: came up with that song. We was living in Cobra
Speaker 1: City and it was a whole other beat because we
Speaker 1: had w Balls was our radio station that we was working. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we had a radio station where we would give out
Speaker 1: the number of people would call in and we would,
Speaker 1: you know, do our things from our house. But that
Speaker 1: was real, for real. I thought that, I mean for real.
Speaker 1: Doctor Drake took that idea and made it what it
Speaker 1: sounded like on the album. Isn't it crazy? How all
Speaker 1: the stuff that y'all did back then, whether it was
Speaker 1: by Felicia and Friday or these and Nuts, and it
Speaker 1: came all the way back around and these people think
Speaker 1: they made it up. This dude, well for a great goal.
Speaker 1: Try to get me with these mets with his raggedy mouth.
Speaker 1: And I reversed the charges on him and hit him
Speaker 1: with the game and he was like, I'm you're not
Speaker 1: gonna get me. I created this, but he was clothing.
Speaker 1: He like he was a puppy, though he was a
Speaker 1: little puppy when that was going on, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So he didn't know no better. Isn't this crazy?
Speaker 1: Snoop appreciate joining us, man. Thank y'all for having me. Man.
