Speaker 1: You have the vault to anything you want to know. Martha.
Speaker 1: How nice. So listen, Snoop. I have a lot of questions,
Speaker 1: and I just want to tell our audience that I
Speaker 1: am right now speaking to Snoop Dog. He is my
Speaker 1: friend and a business partner and a famous, famous performer
Speaker 1: and an entrepreneur. He lives in California and usually that's
Speaker 1: where I see him, but right now I'm seeing him
Speaker 1: on Zoom. So it's really great to have captured your
Speaker 1: attention Snoop for our very first podcast. And when I
Speaker 1: say captured, Snoop is one of the busiest people I know.
Speaker 1: You're so busy. I mean when I first met you,
Speaker 1: you were busy, but not like you are now. You
Speaker 1: just got off the stage of the biggest stage in America.
Speaker 1: That was the halftime at the Super Bowl. That was
Speaker 1: quite an amazing feat to get that group of talent
Speaker 1: on the stage at one time and create such a
Speaker 1: beautiful show. How did it feel to be there? You
Speaker 1: know what? I was kind of shocked when Dr dre
Speaker 1: called me and said that he had it, And as
Speaker 1: it got closer and closer to the date, it became
Speaker 1: a reality. You know, I wasn't nervous, but I felt
Speaker 1: like I was kind of like anxious. I say anxious.
Speaker 1: I was a little bit more anxious, And once it started,
Speaker 1: I was so in the moment. I couldn't really feel
Speaker 1: it until I got home and watched it over again
Speaker 1: about like five or six times. I was like, Wow,
Speaker 1: this is amazing. It was amazing. It was amazing. I
Speaker 1: got to go to the Super Bowl this year, and
Speaker 1: it was just incredible to see you and Dre and
Speaker 1: my M and M performing on that biggest stage and
Speaker 1: with the biggest audience. Do you know how many people
Speaker 1: actually watched it that day? Did they tell you? They
Speaker 1: said it was over a hundred million. Wow, that is incredible.
Speaker 1: How do you capture the world like that? Now? It's insane.
Speaker 1: And you have a vast number of people following you
Speaker 1: on social media? So many people know who you are.
Speaker 1: I've told Snoop before, but I'll tell them again every
Speaker 1: time I go anywhere. All they want to know is
Speaker 1: how Snoop and how did Martha and Snoop get to
Speaker 1: work together and become friends? And it's such a pleasure.
Speaker 1: I My demographic has broadened so greatly because of my
Speaker 1: association with you, Snoop, you don't think Mines asked Martha.
Speaker 1: You don't think I could approached all the time. But
Speaker 1: people that I would not expect to come say hi
Speaker 1: to me, and they say, I love with you and
Speaker 1: Martha are doing. Do you think you can get me
Speaker 1: a picture of Martha? You thy can get an autograph?
Speaker 1: Are you the one who's giving out all those at
Speaker 1: my address to everybody? I get about ten requests a
Speaker 1: day for pictures. That's a lot. And I signed them
Speaker 1: all and they're all usually pictures of you and me.
Speaker 1: We have such great pictures together. Now, not only did
Speaker 1: you do this halftime, but you are also making wine.
Speaker 1: The same Treasury Wines has asked me nineteen Crimes has
Speaker 1: asked me, as a result of your amazing success, to
Speaker 1: do my Martha's shard. That's my shard done. And so
Speaker 1: Snoop and I are going to have two bottles in
Speaker 1: a package. I call it a Tupac but just in
Speaker 1: your honor, by the way, because you were friends with
Speaker 1: Tupac early on, great friends and colleagues. Really, But we
Speaker 1: have this fantastic wine. Mine's taken off like a shot
Speaker 1: out of a canon, just like yours did. I think
Speaker 1: people are really realizing that you can drink really good
Speaker 1: wine and not spend a fortune. That's what our wines
Speaker 1: are teaching them. Now. You also have diamond rimmed octagonal
Speaker 1: sunglasses or glasses. Where are they? You don't have them on? Ye? Here,
Speaker 1: he's going to get them. These are very special glasses. Yeah,
Speaker 1: those are cool. Wow. These look better on you do
Speaker 1: they do on me? I love glasses. I look good
Speaker 1: in glasses. And you also are making more songs. You
Speaker 1: have a new group. What's your new group? Consists of
Speaker 1: oh Me, ice Cube, Too Short, and E forty. We
Speaker 1: are called Mount Westmore. These are the guys that were
Speaker 1: making records before I was able to get into the industry,
Speaker 1: and I was lucky enough to be in a group
Speaker 1: with them because we all love each other, we're all successful,
Speaker 1: we've toured together, and now we just decided to make
Speaker 1: a super group of four guys that generally love each
Speaker 1: other and make music together. And you have n f
Speaker 1: t s non fungible tokens. You just dropped You told
Speaker 1: me you dropped a beat a couple of weeks ago
Speaker 1: for six hundred thousand dollars. Yes. Wow. The community over there,
Speaker 1: Martha is so into music, art and creativity, and it's
Speaker 1: like trading stocks and bonds or whatnot, because once you
Speaker 1: put it on the blockchain, they get a chance to
Speaker 1: make money for you for themselves, and it feels good
Speaker 1: that the fair can finally have a piece of something
Speaker 1: that they've been with for so long and then have
Speaker 1: some ownership to it. Well, I thought I was an
Speaker 1: early adopter of stuff, but boy did I miss the
Speaker 1: beginning of cryptocurrency. I'm in it now, but I missed
Speaker 1: the very beginning when it was five dollars, ten dollars
Speaker 1: and now it's in the many, many hundreds of thousands
Speaker 1: of dollars per unit. Anyway, you got in early. Who
Speaker 1: introduces you to all this new technology that you are
Speaker 1: so involved in. I have a guy named Nick Adler,
Speaker 1: and then I have the SGS, which is Snoops Geek Squad,
Speaker 1: which consists of my son Cordell. I'm adore and shift
Speaker 1: those three guys right there. They go to work. They
Speaker 1: keep me hands on, they put me in the mix.
Speaker 1: They always make sure that I'm you know, interactive revenue,
Speaker 1: just put my name and likeness, but to actually physically
Speaker 1: go into the web. Three going to the n f
Speaker 1: T space, go into the metaverse and get information, so
Speaker 1: when I come out, I can help people understand what
Speaker 1: this process is like, translating from transitional traditional to over
Speaker 1: here to in convention. Well, you have become very influential
Speaker 1: in the in the cryptocurrency space and in the n
Speaker 1: f T space. People really look to you. And you
Speaker 1: had something called Cosimo de Medici. Did you have that, yeah,
Speaker 1: Cosmo Demici So so what that was? It was art
Speaker 1: collector who was collecting a lot of art and he
Speaker 1: had about fifty million n f T s and nobody
Speaker 1: knew who that art collector was. And then one day
Speaker 1: a tweet came out and said that Snoop Dogg is Cosmo.
Speaker 1: So I guess they added up one plus three and
Speaker 1: added and came up with two. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: give you a lot of credit for getting out there
Speaker 1: and doing it. A lot of you performers are becoming
Speaker 1: really great entrepreneurs, and I really admire that. I think
Speaker 1: it is fantastic that your talents can still be shown
Speaker 1: in movies on TV. My favorite things that you're doing
Speaker 1: right now are the Corona beer commercials. I love you
Speaker 1: in those commercials. All I do all the time now,
Speaker 1: when I pick up a phone is a shell phone shelfon.
Speaker 1: Snoop picks up a big conk shell on the beach
Speaker 1: and he says, don't call me on my shell phone,
Speaker 1: and I just thought it was so cute. Did you
Speaker 1: write that? Was that your idea or did somebody else
Speaker 1: come up with that. Corona got some of the greatest
Speaker 1: writers of all time. I can't even from one to eight.
Speaker 1: That's why I love doing business with them because they
Speaker 1: always got something real, creative, that feels good, that feels
Speaker 1: like me. You don't feel like I'm trying to do
Speaker 1: different things. It's like when I'm with you. When we
Speaker 1: shoot our commercials, it always feels organic to who we
Speaker 1: are because we never allowed them to take us out
Speaker 1: of who we're supposed to be. Right. I still remember
Speaker 1: our beautiful commercials that we did for our v H
Speaker 1: one show. Those were the best. I like the one
Speaker 1: we did with the movies. Yes, yes, yes, So if
Speaker 1: you listeners haven't seen Martha and Snoop in the Ghost commercial,
Speaker 1: you really should take a gander. The other one was
Speaker 1: the Titanic that was so fantastic. Also, I'm saving those
Speaker 1: for Posteria. They're you know, they're really they're really unique
Speaker 1: and beautifully written and beautifully made. So um, people know
Speaker 1: a little bit about you, and when I first met you,
Speaker 1: I didn't know much. All I knew was that you
Speaker 1: were an emerging, really great rapper. And I love rap poetry.
Speaker 1: I don't know why, but I can sort of understand it.
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't understand what rap is all about.
Speaker 1: But it's the poetry that I like. I mean, I
Speaker 1: like Emily Dickinson also, and your friend Wiz Khalifa playing
Speaker 1: death in that fantastic Did you see him? Did you
Speaker 1: watch Emily Dickinson? He is so great in that, And
Speaker 1: that's that's American poetry. But rap is also really American poetry. Oh,
Speaker 1: there you go. It's I was gonna ask Snoop if
Speaker 1: he was smoking? You are smoking? Right? This just for
Speaker 1: your face out there. That was gonna act sooner or later, like, okay,
Speaker 1: the question you're gonna ask just Snoop smoke. Snoop does
Speaker 1: smoke quite a bit? Can you tell me how many
Speaker 1: of those special cigarettes you smoke a day? Do you think?
Speaker 1: It depends when I'm shooting television, maybe about fifteen a day.
Speaker 1: But when I'm making music probably about And the thing is,
Speaker 1: when I'm with Martha, she just she the second hand queen.
Speaker 1: I make sure she gets all the second hand smoke,
Speaker 1: and that is the only time I get that fabulous.
Speaker 1: I can had smoke, and I must tell you it
Speaker 1: makes me feel really good and it does not It
Speaker 1: does not disturb my concentration. In fact, I think it
Speaker 1: makes it even better. And it doesn't make me tired
Speaker 1: or any of the things that people say marijuana does
Speaker 1: to you. It's fantastic. I think it's great. Although I
Speaker 1: haven't taken up the habit yet. I got you. You've
Speaker 1: been smoking for how many years? I started when was
Speaker 1: eighteen and now fifty? So what's that thirty two years?
Speaker 1: And uh, can you live without it? Yes? Yeah? When
Speaker 1: I sleep? Oh yeah, well that's good. But you were
Speaker 1: also an early adopter of cannabis as a business, Yes,
Speaker 1: as a business. Tell me about that. Are you still involved? Yes,
Speaker 1: I was earlier on in the venture side as far
Speaker 1: as the business with cannabis, not just the flower, but
Speaker 1: the mechanisms and the things behind the scenes, the ecosystem.
Speaker 1: And then I'm in the process now of dealing with
Speaker 1: the medical side of marijuana because there's so many people
Speaker 1: that I've lost to cancer and they need medical marijuana
Speaker 1: for their you know, relief, that I'm going to start
Speaker 1: pushing that and promoting that as opposed to always making
Speaker 1: it feel like it's a drug or something to get
Speaker 1: you high. No, it's actually medicine and it's medicated, and
Speaker 1: I'm going to promote that side of it, especially for
Speaker 1: the older people like down South that needed they can't
Speaker 1: get it. We want to be able to have a
Speaker 1: delivery service for them. I want to be able to
Speaker 1: help out the patients that need to CBD two creams
Speaker 1: because it's not it's not strong enough, So I want
Speaker 1: to make it to way stronger is better and it's
Speaker 1: more medically induced. What I'm speaking about marijuana weather than
Speaker 1: having a good time. Yeah, and Snoop actually influenced me
Speaker 1: to get into the CBD business, introducing me to Canopy
Speaker 1: Group up in Canada, and we're now making very fine
Speaker 1: gummies and even the gummies at ten milligrams per gummy
Speaker 1: are probably they could be bigger. I think they could
Speaker 1: be bigger. I've been doing a lot of research too, Snoop,
Speaker 1: and we should share our research. But doctors are finding
Speaker 1: out amazing things about the different forms of CBD and
Speaker 1: the different forms of THHC and and what effects they
Speaker 1: have on autoimmune and anti inflammatory all of that. It
Speaker 1: does have some really great quality. I wish you luck
Speaker 1: with that because I think it is sorely needed and
Speaker 1: should be accept more acceptable than it is right now.
Speaker 1: So I wanted to ask you about your family. At
Speaker 1: fifty years old, you are husband, you are a father.
Speaker 1: How many kids do you have? I have four kids
Speaker 1: and their names Corday, Cordale, Corey, and Julian. And you
Speaker 1: have how many grandchildren? I have six grandkids? Wow, at
Speaker 1: fifty years old? Is a grandfather? Yes, with three boys
Speaker 1: and three girls, Martha, and they keep me young. Every
Speaker 1: time they have birthday parties, I put on a costume
Speaker 1: and I come out as their favorite. Whoever it is.
Speaker 1: If it's toy story, if it's a giraffe, it's a
Speaker 1: baby shark, whatever it is, I come out and I
Speaker 1: play my part. Well, it's always charming. And I do
Speaker 1: follow Snoop Dogg on Instagram and you're doing TikTok's now
Speaker 1: too right. Yeah, I'm trying to get involved. Yeah you should.
Speaker 1: They just passed the one billion mark, and in terms
Speaker 1: of followers in the States, it's a big audience. Who
Speaker 1: does all those crazy videos that you have on your Instagram?
Speaker 1: You know what? A lot of times it's me. And
Speaker 1: then a lot of times people send me crazy stuff
Speaker 1: because they know that I got like the biggest eyes
Speaker 1: on it on the prize and they know when I
Speaker 1: put it up, it's gonna be seen. And I love it.
Speaker 1: I laughed so hard before I put this stuff up. Sometimes, Martha,
Speaker 1: I just be in the room just crying, laughing. Those
Speaker 1: skits are hysterical. So if you listeners haven't looked at
Speaker 1: Snoops Instagram, you really should. Yes, they just sent them
Speaker 1: to me. That's like a lot of talented people in
Speaker 1: the world that really don't get a shot in the
Speaker 1: opportunity to become famous, and they know when they give
Speaker 1: it to me, I give them a shot, and then
Speaker 1: eventually they get people to follow them and then they begin,
Speaker 1: you know, their careers and their business are further their business.
Speaker 1: You've already answered my first question that you are smoking,
Speaker 1: and what does strain of marijuana do you smoke? I know,
Speaker 1: people really like to know stuff like that. That's the
Speaker 1: doggy bag, right there that I deal with burners collaboration,
Speaker 1: but I'm in the process of working on my own.
Speaker 1: I got my own coming out. It's called Uncle Snoops.
Speaker 1: It should be out in the next two months, so
Speaker 1: be on the look out for Uncle Snops. But right
Speaker 1: now I'm just helping everybody else out that's in the industry,
Speaker 1: and you know, using my name and likeness to partner.
Speaker 1: Where does one buy on Snoops? Oh, you'll be able
Speaker 1: to buy it in every dispension around the whole world,
Speaker 1: especially in the cookie stores. Okay, do you still need
Speaker 1: to have prescriptions for it? Yes, you do, that's why
Speaker 1: it's medically inclined. Okay, again, we have to know these things. Snoops. Yes,
Speaker 1: thank you for asking. And we've talked about how we
Speaker 1: met on my show. That was Oh I don't even
Speaker 1: remember what year that was, but you were one of
Speaker 1: the first rappers that I had on my show and
Speaker 1: you were so much fun. But people really want to
Speaker 1: know are we friends? And I always say, yes, what
Speaker 1: do you say? I say, we're best friends. It's a
Speaker 1: big excellent I like to hear that. That is great.
Speaker 1: Snoop and I collaborate on things for Big Lighters, Snoops
Speaker 1: lighters have pictures of Snoop on every single one of them,
Speaker 1: and yours looks like beautiful marble and just stuff that
Speaker 1: you would walk on stuff in a museum, like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, this is a light. Yeah, so I have
Speaker 1: I have fox finishes on my lighters. So I collect
Speaker 1: Snoop lighters. I hope you collect my lighters. Snoop. I
Speaker 1: got all I got. I'm in a special placed in
Speaker 1: the bathroom right what I need to be I have
Speaker 1: to send you some yes, other things that people ask
Speaker 1: me about you all the time. It is your clothing.
Speaker 1: You were the best dressed at the halftime show, the
Speaker 1: best by far and colorful. Where do you get these
Speaker 1: amazing afficts? And your body, your long lane body? How
Speaker 1: tall are you six? Oh? It see to me, I
Speaker 1: thought you were six seven. You seem always so tall
Speaker 1: and gorgeous, but six four and very thin. You're thinner
Speaker 1: than you've ever been. Yes? Are you working out? Yes?
Speaker 1: They too it? And do it? Make sure I'm physically fit,
Speaker 1: because you know I'm getting up there in a So
Speaker 1: I don't want to get no beer, gut, beer gut.
Speaker 1: I want to try to stake You're never You're never
Speaker 1: gonna have it. You would look so stupid with no
Speaker 1: right one. I could just see me like math, I'm
Speaker 1: coming over. Nobody wants to hang out with me. It's
Speaker 1: just me and my beer. Good. No, you're not what
Speaker 1: You're not welcome, do not gonna be but my outfits
Speaker 1: with my style. I have a stylist named tell you
Speaker 1: Cole who Rick Ross remember Rick Ross from the show,
Speaker 1: was trying to feed you. Oh gosh. He introduced me
Speaker 1: to her because she was his stylist and I was
Speaker 1: wondering how he was looking so fly. So once he
Speaker 1: introduced me to her, she started doing my outfits and
Speaker 1: then she eventually became the one who did all my
Speaker 1: outfice from Othene Snow. She did all the costumes that
Speaker 1: we wore for everything that we did. Every time that
Speaker 1: you see me, she does all of my outfits to
Speaker 1: make sure that it's a picture of what I want,
Speaker 1: and then she know how to make it look classy.
Speaker 1: Remember the gift that I gave you, She got that too.
Speaker 1: I love. I have several gifts from you that I
Speaker 1: love and I just worked. Soup gave me some fur
Speaker 1: punch shows, which I love. Yes, they're so cozy and warm,
Speaker 1: and you wear them, it pull them over your head,
Speaker 1: you know where. I wear them when I'm snowplowing my
Speaker 1: roads here in Bedford. I love it because they're they're
Speaker 1: so cozy. I always have to wear my tallest shoes
Speaker 1: when I'm standing next to Snoop because I don't want
Speaker 1: to feel like a little short person. And I'm not
Speaker 1: a short person, but you feel Snoop has has this
Speaker 1: way of kind of enveloping you when you're standing next
Speaker 1: to him. He's so majestic and you really you really
Speaker 1: sort of like everybody looks up at you and up
Speaker 1: to you. So you have the little grandchildren. Do they
Speaker 1: get clothing from you and bling and stuff? Yes, they do.
Speaker 1: They are my bride and Joel, my oldest grandson. He's
Speaker 1: not really into fashion, but when we dressed him up,
Speaker 1: he looks like the best kid model you could imagine.
Speaker 1: And then my baby girls, my granddaughters, they're so lovable
Speaker 1: and cute. And I got grandkids that just started walking.
Speaker 1: And then the ones that talk. They call me Papa
Speaker 1: nopea papa papa nope because he can't say S, so
Speaker 1: he say Papa. Where do you learn everything? Do you
Speaker 1: listen to the news. Do you watch the news? To you,
Speaker 1: you seem to be so absolute up to the minute
Speaker 1: in the understanding of what's going on in the world,
Speaker 1: in politics and everything. How do you get your information?
Speaker 1: A lot of times it's just like you said. I'm
Speaker 1: a very you know, insightful person. So I do watch
Speaker 1: the news. I do watch MSNBC, I watch sports, I
Speaker 1: watch lifestyle, I watch anything that I feel that's relevant
Speaker 1: to the world. I try to have my hands on
Speaker 1: it early and try to get involved. I don't want
Speaker 1: to be late to the party. I like being on
Speaker 1: the train when it takes off, so I keep my
Speaker 1: eyes and ears wide open. I like to be a
Speaker 1: breast on what's happening, what is and what ain't, so
Speaker 1: if I'm ever questioned about it, I'm right in the moment.
Speaker 1: You seem to remember everything. Every song. When there's a
Speaker 1: piece of music on the set playing, stup knows the words,
Speaker 1: he knows the date it was written, who's performing it.
Speaker 1: Is that something that's just part of you? How do
Speaker 1: you know all that? I think I studied a lot.
Speaker 1: We had components, sets and record players. In the seventies.
Speaker 1: My mother had eight track of sets and I would
Speaker 1: look at the records. I wouldn't just play them. I
Speaker 1: would look at the album covers, the backside of it,
Speaker 1: who did what, who produced it. Then I would listen
Speaker 1: to it over and over again, and I would hear
Speaker 1: it out in the public and learn it. Even when
Speaker 1: I heard the sugar Hill Gang with the first rap
Speaker 1: that was put on record, I learned that rapping about
Speaker 1: two weeks and it wasn't even like hard. It was
Speaker 1: like I knew every word to it. It was like
Speaker 1: it didn't even bother me to my mind, Like why
Speaker 1: am I learning this song? I don't even know my
Speaker 1: school work, but I know this song. I can learn
Speaker 1: songs faster than I can learn my lessons in school.
Speaker 1: Did you play an instrument? I used to play like
Speaker 1: piano when I was a kid, and then flute, a
Speaker 1: couple of instruments that you play as a youngster. But
Speaker 1: I never really got serious about it. But I understand
Speaker 1: the dynamics of knowing how to bring in people that
Speaker 1: know how to play it to make it sound good.
Speaker 1: When it's trying to make them records, do they write
Speaker 1: down the music like you're what you did at the
Speaker 1: super Bowl? Is that song just recorded or is it
Speaker 1: written down? Well, it's different sometimes, Marthe's that we can
Speaker 1: hear the music and the music will inspire you and
Speaker 1: then something you have words in your head that need
Speaker 1: to get out, and then you put music around that.
Speaker 1: In a different situation, like I could be watching TV
Speaker 1: and I can get an idea based off of something
Speaker 1: that I've seen on the television screen, and I convert
Speaker 1: that into a song and make it make sense and
Speaker 1: make it about the moment. So a lot of times
Speaker 1: we draw our instances and our information from what's actually
Speaker 1: happening at the moment, so we can convert that into
Speaker 1: a song. Is that what most rappers do? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: think so. I think it's something that's a trait that
Speaker 1: we have to be able to. Like the poetry that
Speaker 1: we write is in the moment. To be able to
Speaker 1: write those words that rhyme and rhythm and cadence and
Speaker 1: then they also have a meaning behind it, and to
Speaker 1: have a voice that represents you. That's what it's all about.
Speaker 1: Do you remember the words to every rap you ever did?
Speaker 1: Most of them? If I don't, I gotta teleprompter to
Speaker 1: help me out, Like like if I was on the news,
Speaker 1: that's just my little secret. I gotta add at the
Speaker 1: teleprompters are good. I like teleprompters, to the big type teleprompters,
Speaker 1: but I always vie for the largest type in the
Speaker 1: the closest distance, right, especially if I ain't got my
Speaker 1: reading glasses on. They gotta make them letters a little
Speaker 1: bit bigger. Well, we didn't talk about Boss Lady. Yes,
Speaker 1: how is boss Lady? She is doing amazing. That's my
Speaker 1: lovely wife, my friend and wife, grandmother, mother, daughter, sister,
Speaker 1: all of the above. She's been with me since Jael's
Speaker 1: was a goldfish. So in other words, she'd been with
Speaker 1: me when I was small as I could be, too
Speaker 1: big as I'm gonna be. And she's always been there
Speaker 1: from the true definition of a wife, a woman, a
Speaker 1: leader of queen. Raised my kids because I was always
Speaker 1: on the road, you know, providing. So she instilled the
Speaker 1: great things and my kids that you see if you
Speaker 1: ever come across my kids, you see that mannerism, their respect,
Speaker 1: how they look you in an eye, and just you know,
Speaker 1: respect their elders. That's Mama. Did that. I just came
Speaker 1: through and did that, you know, put the candles on
Speaker 1: the cake, made everything right for bad time. But she
Speaker 1: deserves a lot of the credit for the structure of
Speaker 1: my house and the structure of the way that I
Speaker 1: am as a person in public and in private. How
Speaker 1: nice to hear that in those words. Is she involved
Speaker 1: in the business a lot? Oh? Yeah? So what I
Speaker 1: did was I involved her as my manager so that
Speaker 1: way she could be head owned with my business and
Speaker 1: then at the same time my records that I'm putting out.
Speaker 1: She's the executive producer on a couple of these records.
Speaker 1: So involving her in every element as opposed to waiting
Speaker 1: until something happens to me where I can't speak or
Speaker 1: I can't move. That's a long way away, snoop, That's
Speaker 1: not gonna happen anytime soon. Are you fearful of something
Speaker 1: like that? Never? I just want to make sure that
Speaker 1: I've watched so many people, you know, go through this
Speaker 1: position where when something went wrong, their family didn't know
Speaker 1: what to do, and then they lost the estate and
Speaker 1: then it's just downhill from there. So I just want
Speaker 1: to protect me and my family's the state and show
Speaker 1: people how to do it the right way and to
Speaker 1: think about these things when you're in your prime, not
Speaker 1: when you're down, but think about it early, so when
Speaker 1: you do get to that stage, or if it ever happens,
Speaker 1: you're prepared. What about sports, I love listening to you
Speaker 1: comments on sports events. You are so funny. I mean,
Speaker 1: you seem to know a lot about every sport that
Speaker 1: you talk about. I do. Month I'm like, I've been
Speaker 1: that way since a kid, even before Sports Center, I
Speaker 1: was watched the news and highlights and Monday night football, basketball,
Speaker 1: whatever it was. And I'm just this is something that
Speaker 1: I love. So when I love doing something, it's easy.
Speaker 1: It's not even a job, it's not even a task.
Speaker 1: It's like, I love to acquire information. I love to
Speaker 1: watch sports like hockey and and golf. Sports. You didn't
Speaker 1: think that I would know about it and then give
Speaker 1: you some information on it, and then naturally basketball and football,
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to know about those, but the information that
Speaker 1: I give you is more in depth rather than just
Speaker 1: the basically one to one two and then the way
Speaker 1: I talk it's different than anybody here on the broadcast
Speaker 1: system anyway. So are you gonna conte you? I love that, Martha.
Speaker 1: I loved to be able to call the game the
Speaker 1: way I see and I think people are enjoying it
Speaker 1: because they feel like it's a good twist compared to
Speaker 1: the broadcasters. I love all the ones that's out there.
Speaker 1: I can't I can't even lie, like how Michael's Bob costs.
Speaker 1: All those guys are amazing. Mike Terrico, I loved him.
Speaker 1: They off the chain. I just want to be able
Speaker 1: to bring my flavor to the table. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. They get that back. Do you do such
Speaker 1: a good job? It's so amusing too. Your Olympic coverage
Speaker 1: was just incredible. Did enough people get to see your
Speaker 1: Olympic coverage? Yes? With me and Kevin Hard, Me and
Speaker 1: Kevin Hard, we worked very well together. In case you
Speaker 1: guys don't know, his first movie was so playing Where
Speaker 1: are co starting? It would him and Kevin doesn't looked
Speaker 1: back ever since then, he's been rocking and rolling. He's
Speaker 1: a treat to work with. He's funny, guys professional, he's
Speaker 1: very business and he makes my job easy. I did
Speaker 1: a little skin in the movie with him. He was hysterical,
Speaker 1: so much fun. But what about hanging out with people
Speaker 1: like Jamie Fox? Jamie Fox when he was on our show. Remember,
Speaker 1: he's such a fine musician playing keys and everything right.
Speaker 1: He is so talented. He is so talented and so knowledgeable.
Speaker 1: He was talking about classical music and baroque music. He
Speaker 1: was just incredible. But he really knows right if you
Speaker 1: read his book. He has a book out right now
Speaker 1: called Act Like You Got Some Sense, and it's about
Speaker 1: his grandmother and the way she raised him and how
Speaker 1: she put him in music, and how he came up
Speaker 1: in a city where it was a lot of racism,
Speaker 1: and how she sent him to the best piano school
Speaker 1: to become a classical piano player and that went a
Speaker 1: long way. As you can see now that he can
Speaker 1: play any style of music, and he's got a great voice,
Speaker 1: and he's got a great personality. So he's fun to
Speaker 1: be around, and he can play pretty much any part two. Yes,
Speaker 1: Snoop and I did a roast once that was about
Speaker 1: about six years ago, justin Bieber's twenties first birthday party
Speaker 1: roast and we and for Comedy Central. I just saw
Speaker 1: him last week in l A. I bumped into him
Speaker 1: in a restaurant. He was he's We were celebrating his
Speaker 1: twenty eight birthdays and I couldn't believe seven years went
Speaker 1: by so fast, but he was charming, and he was
Speaker 1: with his wife and a bunch of nice friends, and
Speaker 1: we reminisced a little bit about the roast, and he
Speaker 1: said he actually enjoyed it getting turned on that spit slowly.
Speaker 1: You had the best performance that night, hands. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: it was so much fun. It reminds me you're talking
Speaker 1: about the show that we did, our wonderful potluck dinner party.
Speaker 1: Your mom came and your mom meant so much to you,
Speaker 1: and she was such an elegant lady. And but she
Speaker 1: came with some friends to the show and said at
Speaker 1: one of the cocktail tables, tell me a little bit
Speaker 1: about her, because I know she passed away this year,
Speaker 1: and I read your posts and it seemed to really
Speaker 1: affect you. You were very close. Yeah, we were very close.
Speaker 1: She had the time in her life when she came
Speaker 1: on the show that my mom was always a star,
Speaker 1: and to put her own television, you know, gave it
Speaker 1: that moment that she always wanted. She loved you, she
Speaker 1: loved everything that you still for everything that she was about.
Speaker 1: And to see me be able to be in a transition,
Speaker 1: to be able to be on television with somebody as
Speaker 1: prestigious as you, and to hold my home and a
Speaker 1: lot to her. And when she passed away, it didn't
Speaker 1: make me weak, it made me strong. I probably was
Speaker 1: weak probably two or three days after, but after I
Speaker 1: had to understand I had fifty years with Angel. She
Speaker 1: taught me everything I know. She showed me how to
Speaker 1: be who I am, and she prepared me for this
Speaker 1: day by raising me the way she raised me. So
Speaker 1: it's don't need to be sad. It's the joy that
Speaker 1: I had with her. And for anybody else that's going
Speaker 1: to go through this, I'm here for you and I'll
Speaker 1: help you understand the dynamics of what you had as
Speaker 1: opposed to what you lost. Do your siblings, your brothers, sisters? Yes,
Speaker 1: I have two brothers, one older brother, one younger brother,
Speaker 1: and we, like I said, we went through this together
Speaker 1: because it was a different experience because my older brother
Speaker 1: was with my mother before I got here, and then
Speaker 1: my younger brother. There was the reason my mother went
Speaker 1: and started getting involved in church again in her life right.
Speaker 1: So it was just the dynamics of all of that
Speaker 1: and us reminiscent and sad in the beginning, but happy
Speaker 1: that we had a mother that was an angel that
Speaker 1: raised us to be who we are. She was a
Speaker 1: lovely woman, the woman I bet. I'm glad you met
Speaker 1: m Martha. That made my life. When you did that,
Speaker 1: that just you just don't understand what it means to
Speaker 1: to make your mama proud, right, you know you try
Speaker 1: to do all sorts of things too to make mama proud.
Speaker 1: And when you do that one thing and you know
Speaker 1: that you made her smile and you could say you
Speaker 1: did your job well, people ask me what you're really like.
Speaker 1: I think it's coming across here. As a sensitive, intelligent,
Speaker 1: creative human being. What do you want people to think
Speaker 1: about you at this present moment? What do you want
Speaker 1: people to think about Snoop dogg M that I'm for
Speaker 1: the people. I'm the people's champ, you know, I'm for
Speaker 1: the people. Like I had a chance to have a
Speaker 1: relationship with Muhammad Ali, you know, before he lost his speech,
Speaker 1: and then I had to relate ship with him after
Speaker 1: he lost his speech because his grandson and my son
Speaker 1: went to the same high school together. So we would
Speaker 1: sit down with each other during the games and I
Speaker 1: would put a blanket around him and just sitting next
Speaker 1: to him and talked to him, and one thing I
Speaker 1: noticed was the reason why I'm around so much greatness,
Speaker 1: because it's meant for me to be great. And when
Speaker 1: I'm around these great people, I learned how to conduct myself,
Speaker 1: how to be in the moment, and how to be
Speaker 1: a goat the greatest of all time. So the experiences
Speaker 1: that I've had with these people gives me the knowledge
Speaker 1: to know how to move. And that's why I'm respected,
Speaker 1: And that's why I respected people. And I want you
Speaker 1: guys to love me like I love you, and that's
Speaker 1: how I want to be remembered, how nice and with
Speaker 1: a good way to live. I met Muhammad Ali. He
Speaker 1: did products for Kmart. When I was doing products for Kmart.
Speaker 1: He had a line of shoe polish with his face
Speaker 1: on the little can like Esquire shoe polish, but it
Speaker 1: was Muhammad Ali. And we went and we did a
Speaker 1: big pr thing together. He was utterly charming, and that
Speaker 1: that's at the time he was the most famous man
Speaker 1: in the world. Remember when he see see the resemblance
Speaker 1: of him and me more that, like you just said, charming,
Speaker 1: most famous, Like it just feels like I'm sbolutely you are.
Speaker 1: He was just perfection in a package. You know, he was.
Speaker 1: Everybody loved him. So it's been really great talking to you, Snoop,
Speaker 1: and I think that people will know a little bit
Speaker 1: more about the tall, elegant performer that we see on
Speaker 1: Instagram and we see on TV. Oh, by the way,
Speaker 1: I love how you comment on people's creativity. You were
Speaker 1: on the Voice. Yes, I watched you. I couldn't believe
Speaker 1: what great advice you gave to those contestants. You were
Speaker 1: the best of the best. Well, I think they're saying
Speaker 1: that I can work very well with the talent as
Speaker 1: far as expressing myself to them and helping them feel
Speaker 1: comfortable in the moment, whether they did something wrong or right,
Speaker 1: and that that's what those shows are about. The confidence
Speaker 1: not to beat somebody up and then to knock them
Speaker 1: down with to build them up if they make a mistake,
Speaker 1: and then let them know that this industry is full
Speaker 1: of criticism, so be prepared to take it and prepare
Speaker 1: yourself to you know, better yourself every time. Stup, thank
Speaker 1: you very much for taking time out of your extremely
Speaker 1: busy day. I hope to see you soon. We have
Speaker 1: other things cooking, like some more wine. Okay, literally and
Speaker 1: what what's my baby? That made me that bomb ass salad?
Speaker 1: Is that just oh just damak? Yeah, did you get
Speaker 1: her book yet? Oh? She gave me the book and
