Hello and welcome to No Bad Reviews, colon, a coffee podcast. This is a podcast where three friends,
8
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:15,360
co-workers, and coffee industry professionals get together every other week. And we explore the
9
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:24,960
beautiful globe that we live upon through the lens of coffee. We talk about anybody and anything.
10
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:31,280
Sometimes we'll name the person, sometimes we won't. That's a new thing. Sometimes we'll tell you to
11
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:37,600
Google it. We're name dropping today, big time. Or sometimes we have a really fun episode about a
12
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:43,440
really fun person. And that's today. I'm Jenny and I run the operations at a coffee company called
13
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:50,800
Modest Coffee. And I'm Marcus and I am co-founder of Modest Coffee, Good Food Award winning coffee
14
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:59,920
roaster and Santa isn't real. Oh man, we should, we're going to have to insert like a, like a
15
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:04,720
one of those, if you're driving with a kid in the car warnings. No, don't just leave that for them.
16
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:12,480
If you're driving with kids in the car, go back in time three minutes and tell them to close their
17
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:20,400
ears. We never said we were a kid friendly podcast. If anybody like allows their kids to listen to
18
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:29,840
this amount of swearing. Well, I question your parenting decisions. Domino motherfuckers, what's
19
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:35,760
happening? I'm Stephanie. Oh, is this like a new phrase we're going to learn today? Domino
20
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:41,520
motherfucker. This is what I'm doing today. Hell yes. Sugar. Just a little hint about today's episode.
21
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:46,320
I'm excited to learn more about this phrase that I may incorporate into my daily life. I'm just
22
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:55,440
trying to drop as many phrases from his first album as I can into today's episode. That is my
23
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:02,880
whole plan. I've written an entire episode around just being able to use these ridiculous
24
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,640
phrases. Amazing. They're not ridiculous when he says them, but I guarantee when I say them.
25
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:13,760
And if somebody has picked up on domino motherfuckers reference, you just won the prize.
26
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:19,600
The prize. You won a prize. I assume though that they read the title when they clicked play.
27
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:26,000
That's true. We might've had a spoiler. It's okay. We need to stop putting a title. Just episode 72.
28
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:35,040
That's all it is. No description except for our self-promotions. Right. And then it'll just be,
29
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:40,800
this episode is just the title or the definition. What is it? The description is just going to say
30
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:47,840
domino motherfucker. Oh, can it? Can it say that? We should make that. That'll get the clicks.
31
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:55,040
I'll put it like domino motherfucker and then click to hear more. Yeah. All caps.
32
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:02,880
Today we're talking about world-renowned coffee roaster, Calvin Brodus Jr. Ever heard of him?
33
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:11,680
Oh man. I have not, you know, I'm names to faces. I'm not. I heard he won a good food award. Did he?
34
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:17,600
Really? No. I didn't remember. I saw all of them. No, he didn't. But he is famous though. He is very
35
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:22,480
famous. Is he like Salt Bae of coffee roasters? I don't know what Salt Bae is. I don't know what
36
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:27,680
Salt Bae is either. Oh, okay. That's a reference that, you know, some of you listeners might get.
37
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:33,520
He's the guy that like does this with the salt and like the, nevermind. He's like very, very
38
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:42,720
Instagrammy guys. Look him up. Can you tell me his name again? Calvin Brodus Jr. Okay. I thought that
39
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:50,320
there was three names, but Jr. was the third. Okay. Oh, Calvin Kordazar Brodus Jr. Wow. What a name.
40
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:57,440
If you actually want his full name. Oh. But you may know him as Snoop Dogg. Snoop Dogg in the house.
41
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:05,360
What? His coffee is Indo XYZ. Love it. That's an Indonesia reference unless you're, don't assume
42
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,840
it's drugs. No, sorry. There's a fly. Oh, I thought you were clapping me out. No, I'm sorry. I thought
43
00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:13,840
you were like, shut the fuck up. No, I'm sorry. Marcus is like, we don't talk about drugs on this podcast.
44
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,280
This is inappropriate for the children.
45
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:28,880
Yeah. So I want to say thank you to Snoop, first of all, because unlike certain
46
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:36,160
pop punk bands that we could mention, he does not hide the fact that someone else roasts his coffee.
47
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,320
He does not make you think that he's getting off the tour bus and walking straight into the roastery.
48
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,800
Yeah. Right. Thank you for your honesty and up frontness. Thank you for not making me like
49
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:50,080
dig deep to find the roaster. Good job. Like some people did. Yeah. This is, what do they call that?
50
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:56,480
Like a licensing? They license their image? Is this a licensing deal? You know, supposedly he and this
51
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:03,920
guy are like buddies. Okay. And yeah, the coffee roaster we are going to talk about. His name is
52
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:12,240
Michael Riadi and he's an Indonesian guy and he specializes in Indonesian coffee and he does have
53
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:18,000
his own company. And then this is like his joint venture. So this is like the kids explaining this
54
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:25,040
to me. They call that a collab. Oh, yeah. Yeah. What I read about it briefly when we first,
55
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:30,720
when I first found out about this coffee, I read an article about it. Yeah. It's basically this guy
56
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:37,120
who has the Indonesian connection Snoop Dogg wanted to start an Indo company, coffee company
57
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,280
or something. So we found somebody who would fit with that. And then the two of them hit it off as
58
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:46,240
his pals. I feel like Snoop Dogg kind of hits it off with everyone though. Yeah. That's what I was
59
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,080
going to say. I don't know anyone who doesn't want to hang out with Snoop Dogg. Right. And like, I
60
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:56,880
read a lot about Snoop Dogg over the past couple of weeks and I, like, hardly anybody has anything
61
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:02,880
negative to say about him. It's usually like, yeah, people love this guy. It's like tipper gore going
62
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:08,720
after him. Yeah, tipper gore, right. Only one who doesn't like Snoop Dogg. You know, but that's more
63
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:15,200
about his art and less about who he is as a person. Like nobody's really complaining about who he is
64
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:20,160
as a person. He seems like a very stand-up guy to me. Like he seemed like a genuine,
65
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:30,080
like down to earth, like good values type of guy. Like it just seems like he cares about his family.
66
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:39,120
He cares about his businesses. He just cares about like being chill and smoking weed. I mean,
67
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:44,080
that helps to be chill. It does. I mean, he seems to care about that. That seems to be a core value.
68
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:49,200
It is a core value. Yeah. I mean, I get that. But you know, it's like, I don't know, he just seems
69
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:56,400
like a cool dude. Like despite all of his fame and like he could be very pretentious, but he
70
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:01,840
doesn't be. You really get the feeling that like what you see is what you get with that guy.
71
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:08,480
Did you guys see the MTV Cribs? Oh, you know, I looked up a bunch of videos, but not that one.
72
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:15,440
Very, very same thing, like in very modest housing, you know, he was not like, it wasn't crazy,
73
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:20,720
flashy, showy, like a lot of the other MTV Cribs are. And it was just like him like in his boxers,
74
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:27,120
like just kind of chilling, like not like, you know, his family, his kids, you know, wife, long
75
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,760
time wife. Didn't he have like a like a, didn't he have a reality show for a little while back in
76
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:39,200
like the 2000s? So I watched a little clip of his reality show called. I think I watched a few
77
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:44,960
episodes of that. Oh, gosh. Oh, I didn't even write down the name. It's like, um,
78
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:51,520
I feel like daddy's in the name. I feel like daddy's, I don't know, actually daddy's house
79
00:08:51,520 --> 00:09:00,800
feels like something that I just made up. I was most impressed by if it was the, whatever it was
80
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:05,200
that I watched, it was like a personal look into his life. And I'm assuming it was the reality show.
81
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:10,800
And I was mostly impressed by the fact that him and his wife, like have been together for so long.
82
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:16,960
And then he's just a really family oriented guy and that he just like, whatever he's doing with
83
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:23,920
like the music and the weed smoking and all that, that's part of like his brand. But like who he
84
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:30,800
actually is, is just this guy, like you said, pretty modest house, not flashy, just trying to
85
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:37,840
like live his life and be a family guy. I don't know about not flashy. Um, I didn't, I didn't,
86
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:42,560
I mean, I just did, you know, compared to like people who are driving these like fancy cars and
87
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:47,760
have these gigantic houses and it's all about the money and the wealth and like, you know, if you
88
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:54,560
were to go in, there are certain people who have reality TV shows where it's all about their wealth.
89
00:09:54,560 --> 00:10:00,960
And for him, my impression was it's all about his family. That's basically what my impression was.
90
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:09,680
I watched a clip of that show and it seemed very scripted. It like annoyed me how scripted it seemed,
91
00:10:09,680 --> 00:10:14,640
but the kids did go into his closet when he wasn't there to steal money out of his jacket
92
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:22,960
pockets, which I thought was funny. And I was amused by his closet, which looks a lot like my
93
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:28,880
closet in that it was not very big and it was packed so full and it was not, you know, it was
94
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:34,960
so full and it was not, you know, it wasn't like this huge room that you walk into that was well
95
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:39,920
organized with someone else taking care of his laundry and shit. It was just like a closet.
96
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:45,040
A bunch of shit thrown in it. Oh my God. And it was just like all jerseys and fur coats. It was
97
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:51,120
really funny. Oh, see this is what I love. Snoop Dogg is all of us.
98
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:57,760
Great. All right. Snoop Dogg was born in 1971. He's a couple of years older than me.
99
00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:02,160
He's a pretty young guy. Like 51 now. Yeah.
100
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,240
Wow. Did you think he was older?
101
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:09,680
I thought he was 70 for some reason. I mean like 71. I was surprised.
102
00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:12,240
I thought he was like, you know, peers with Bill Cosby.
103
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,120
Wow. Although I guess 50 is getting kind of old these days.
104
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,720
Hey now. I mean, I'm just messing with you.
105
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:26,080
And all of our 50 year old listeners. Sorry. I'm just being a jerk as I approach 50.
106
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:31,280
Wow. Snoop's a young fellow. I think about where I was in life,
107
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:37,280
like driving around in my car, listening to Doggie Style and what I had accomplished at that point.
108
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,640
And he was like world famous. So young.
109
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,360
He accomplished a lot really young. He would have been like 20.
110
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,840
He was, I think he was 22 when Doggie Style came out.
111
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:48,880
Wow. That's what I mean.
112
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:54,160
I thought he was older when that happened because so few people get that level of success at 22.
113
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,480
Right. It was extremely
114
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,200
shockingly successful. Especially outside of the,
115
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:04,560
back in the day when you didn't have YouTube to like get people like Justin Bieber famous.
116
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,160
That's right. I did say Bieber on purpose.
117
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:15,600
1971 is also the year that rap was born. 1971.
118
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:22,880
1971. Did they like, did they retroactively say this is when Snoop Dogg was born. So that's when
119
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:27,280
rap was born. No, his essence coming into the world
120
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,880
brought the essence of rap with him. Heralded in a new era in music.
121
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:35,280
If you believe in souls or whatever, Snoop Dogg's soul brought that into his life.
122
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:44,320
Rap has arrived in this world. His essence arrived in the form of a
123
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:50,160
Jamaican guy in the South Bronx named Kool Herc. Love it.
124
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:54,160
Kool Herc was like playing turntables and rapping over them.
125
00:12:55,680 --> 00:13:02,480
Hip hop started at like block parties. So the South Bronx in the 70s was kind of a
126
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:08,720
disaster. That's a rabbit hole. We don't have to go down, but like literally they talk about like
127
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:14,800
the Bronx was burning. And that's because the city decided to save money by just like taking all the
128
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:21,120
fire stations out of the poor neighborhoods. So the South Bronx was literally like 70% of the
129
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:26,640
apartments in the South Bronx burned down. Shit. In the 1970s. Like I can't even wrap my head
130
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,360
around that number. It's insane. That's crazy.
131
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:33,280
So like that's what was going on in the background. It was also like the late 70s.
132
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:38,880
You had those rolling blackouts and that Summer of Sam serial murderer guy.
133
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:47,680
You know, let me say the 70s in New York City were generally a fucking dumpster fire in general.
134
00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:50,720
All over New York. I think even like Manhattan too.
135
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,240
Yeah. The whole city.
136
00:13:52,240 --> 00:14:03,120
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So hip hop, the word hip hop used to refer to the parties. Like we're going
137
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:09,040
to go to a hip hop and they were these like big block parties and you'd have these.
138
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:15,280
Maybe like a sock hop, but hip. But hip. That's right. Far less square. That is correct.
139
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:22,640
Yeah. Sure. So this guy, Kool Herc kind of gets the credit for being the first one to like break
140
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:27,600
out turntables and like sample these songs and just like talk over them. He would use the
141
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:32,080
instrumental part of the song. He'd play it over and over and over and he would just kind of talk
142
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,320
over it. He used a lot of funk. Like he really liked James Brown. He didn't think that the
143
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:43,600
American audience would get reggae, which is what he really wanted to do. So he was using funk.
144
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,760
Yeah. I guess Scott had not come to the United States really. I'm thinking back,
145
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:54,400
the other reggae that was associated was with Scott. But that was still, it went to England first.
146
00:14:55,200 --> 00:15:03,920
Remember? Right. Maybe he was right. Break dancers. So the break in the music was the part
147
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:08,640
where the instrumental part was repeated and no one was rapping and people would dance during
148
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:13,920
the break. And that's where the term break dancing came from. I didn't know that. That's
149
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:22,640
also James Brown and a few songs like Kick It To The Break. Yeah. That's when the musicians
150
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:32,960
go fucking nuts too. The solos or whatever. Yeah. Grandmaster Flash heard Kool Herc and he
151
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:40,400
started doing the same thing, but a little weirder. Like he was playing records backwards. He was
152
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:46,080
scratching them up more. He was just like adding his own twist to it, but he couldn't rap. So he
153
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:54,080
got together with a band, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. They released a song in 1979
154
00:15:54,080 --> 00:16:01,360
called We Rap More Mellow. They were called the Younger Generation at that point. And that is not
155
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:06,400
credited with being the first official rap song. At first they didn't think you could record rap.
156
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:12,320
You can't record it. It's like- So it's like in the moment. It's like part of it is being in this
157
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:18,880
group of people outside at a cookout or a barbecue or whatever, a block party. Yeah. Just rapping.
158
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:24,800
It's meant to be, yeah, in the moment. It's like you're feeling the moment. A lot of it was
159
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,280
freestyle. They weren't coming with written lyrics. They were just saying whatever popped into their
160
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,600
head in the moment. It's like particle physics. As soon as you observe it, you fucking ruin
161
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:41,200
the whole experiment. That's right. It was actually a woman. First time rap has ever been compared to
162
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:47,760
particle physics. See? There you go. You heard it here first. Now I'd like to see a physicist-
163
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:52,720
Just let it flow naturally. I'd like to see a physicist, a cool physicist do a paper on this
164
00:16:52,720 --> 00:17:00,560
now. Yeah. Right? Mm-hmm. Challenge. A challenge. To all of our physicist listeners that are cool.
165
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:07,760
Show how cool you are. All of you. There was another song that also, 1979 was like the year.
166
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:15,520
There was the first song that came out in 1979 in March was called King Tim the Third by the Fat
167
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:21,440
Back Band. That was originally an instrumental song that they had someone rap over at the last
168
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:28,480
minute. That was like maybe officially the first rap song. Then this Grandmaster Flash song came
169
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:37,760
out. Then the Sugar Hill Gang came out with Rapper's Delight. That's considered the first
170
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:42,720
successful rap song. That's the first one they got radio play. That's the one that people heard of.
171
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:49,680
That one is still a fucking jam. It is. Yeah. It's pretty funny. Yeah. There was a woman producer
172
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:57,680
named Sylvia Robinson who insisted on recording the song. She really was instrumental in making rap
173
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:03,680
a thing. Hell yeah. Yeah. Way to go. Sylvia, good job. I wish I knew more about her, but that was
174
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,520
one of those rabbit holes that I didn't go down. It's okay. I'm trying to limit myself. It's okay.
175
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,440
So you know- Marcus says he needs to do less editing.
176
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:18,000
Oh my God. That won't make it in the episode. You should leave it. Leave it. I'm challenging
177
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:24,960
you to leave it. For all those people who listen and are like, you guys sound so good. Yeah.
178
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,680
That's because Marcus cuts out all of our bullshit. We are actually here for like four hours every
179
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:35,120
time. You only get an hour. It's all good. It's all good. You know, we're just hanging out. That's
180
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:39,040
what happens when three friends, coworkers, and coffee industry professionals get together every
181
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:47,680
other week. Yeah. So the 80s were big for rap, but Gangster Rap was just starting to like appear.
182
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:57,360
1984 Run DMC, 1987 Public Enemy and LL Cool J. But it was like, it was actually Ice T in 1986,
183
00:18:57,360 --> 00:19:02,800
who gets a lot of credit for Gangster Rap. He was kind of like the first successful one,
184
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:09,600
heavily influenced by a guy named Schooley D out of Philadelphia. I just think it's so funny that
185
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:16,960
Ice T is like a detective on SVU for so many years now. I just like for some reason it just,
186
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:21,520
it makes me laugh. It does. Like that juxtaposition. Like I can't even imagine him being a Gangster
187
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,920
rapper because he's just Agent Finn. Yeah. I just think of him as like a cop now. Yeah. That's
188
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:31,760
pretty fucked up Ice T. He ended up in one of my playlists and it was like him like rapping about
189
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:38,320
his like, there was a really rough like upbringing about his mom. And yeah, it was pretty brutal.
190
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,800
Yeah. Yeah. When Gangster Rap first came out and people started calling it Gangster Rap,
191
00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:49,360
the actual rappers were like, this is reality rap. We're not trying to pretend to be something
192
00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:54,560
we're not. We're trying to actually tell our story of what it's like to live here and
193
00:19:55,440 --> 00:20:00,480
be young and black and male. And it wasn't easy. I'm sure it's still not.
194
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:05,760
Well, that's what gets me too. Sometimes you'll hear people like probably mostly like old white
195
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:10,480
ladies who are like rap music and blah, blah, blah. They're talking about things like blah, blah,
196
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:15,280
blah. I'm like, but that's the reality of some people. And if you don't like it, like why don't
197
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:22,480
you, why don't we think about how do we help change people's realities as a society rather than just
198
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,720
being like, well, they're blah, blah, blah. No, these are the people, this is how people live.
199
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:32,560
You sound like somebody who's gone woke. Both of you. I've done been woke.
200
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:37,520
I've been awake for a long time. Well, I mean, that's at least 7am.
201
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:49,520
That's the whole point of it. All right. So rap is born and growing. And so is Snoop. He's actually
202
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:55,280
named after his stepfather, this crazy big name. His dad sort of disappeared right at the beginning
203
00:20:55,280 --> 00:21:01,920
and his stepdad was there pretty much from day one. So he has two brothers. He's the middle,
204
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:06,480
he's in the middle of two brothers. His stepdad wasn't around for too long and actually died
205
00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:14,880
really young. And so Snoop was mostly raised by his mom. Wait a second. He's named after a stepdad.
206
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:23,680
I'm a little confused too by how that all works. Because when did the stepdad come after his dad
207
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:29,200
impregnated his mom? I do not have the details on this whole situation. Unless his mom like maybe
208
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:35,280
got knocked up. Maybe Snoop was his, or maybe they added on. I mean, he could have adopted him.
209
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:41,120
All right. Added on. And changed his name. I guess his dad left when he was just like a couple of
210
00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:47,760
months old and his stepdad was always there. That's all I know. Four names gotta come from
211
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:52,480
somewhere. You gotta talk to his mom if you want the details on the starting and ending point of
212
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:58,800
each relationship. She's probably still alive. When she sends us an email at hello at nobadreviewspodcast.com
213
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:07,600
we'll be sure to report back. We're looking for her clarification. Snoop was born in Long Beach,
214
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:14,480
grew up there. His mom gave him the nickname Snoopy because he loved the Peanuts character Snoopy.
215
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:21,040
That's like the most wholesome fucking name to get the way to get that name. Can we just stop and
216
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:26,080
say Snoop Dogg's fucking wholesome? Yeah, for real. You know what else I learned this week?
217
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:32,800
Is that Suge Knight has that name because his mom called him Sugar Bear when he was little.
218
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:39,120
Suge Knight is not sweet. I know he's not, but that is a very cute way to get a name. I think
219
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:43,280
it's really funny that these super tough guys are still going by the names their mommies gave them
220
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:49,360
when they were 18 months old. That's so cute. That's pretty common though in the black community.
221
00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:56,080
I think everybody has a nickname given to them by family. Awesome. They're usually cute because
222
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,280
it's like they pick them up when they're kids and then that's the name they always go by.
223
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:06,080
Yeah, forever. It's so common. Everybody has a nickname. If my son ever makes it as a big rap
224
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:13,280
star his name's going to be little baby chub chub. I hope he doesn't. I'm going to check.
225
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:19,120
Yeah, that rap name already exists. I'm sorry. I'm just going to Google that one.
226
00:23:19,120 --> 00:23:22,480
Arden could be good. Little R. He's gone platinum. Little R. Oh, that's a good one.
227
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,960
That's a good one. Her rap name? Yeah. Yeah.
228
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:31,440
When Snoop was very, very young he was singing and playing piano at their Baptist church.
229
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,920
So musically inclined from a very young age. In a wholesome fucking way too. Yeah.
230
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,040
Can't even with this guy. Next thing you're going to tell me he was like a model for Cheerios.
231
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:49,120
Gerber. I was going to say that he did contribute to the family with like cute little jobs. He sold
232
00:23:49,120 --> 00:23:54,320
candy. He delivered newspapers and he bagged groceries and he gave all the money to his mom
233
00:23:54,320 --> 00:24:00,400
to help raise the family. Can we just stop? Isn't he the sweetest? He is. He deserves it.
234
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:08,400
He was a dedicated student. He was an enthusiastic churchgoer. He was active in choir in high school
235
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:13,520
and he played football. Oh, he's very tall and skinny for a football player. Yeah. Isn't that
236
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:20,720
funny? Yeah. He started rapping in sixth grade. I don't know where he picked it up, but he was
237
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:26,080
really good at freestyle. He would just do it in the school hallways all the time. He'd draw such
238
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:31,040
a big crowd that the principal would come running thinking it was a big brawl. But it was just him,
239
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:35,440
like everybody standing around listening to him rap. That's cool. It gave him a lot of self-confidence.
240
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:41,840
He could see that he had a real talent and it made him feel good about himself. He graduated from high
241
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:51,600
school in 1989. He did get involved with the gangs. He's denied that at some point. Yeah, naturally,
242
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:59,840
like you do. Go on record. I don't know. But at some points, I don't know. You grow up there and
243
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:06,560
you hang out with people, right? And you associate. I don't know how you get out of that. Well, part
244
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:11,440
of it too is like- I think he's wrapped about gang stuff too. He's like, crips or bloods or-
245
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:17,600
He's a crip. He was a rolling 20s crip. They're on the east side of Long Beach. It's part of it too.
246
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:25,280
Gangs that control blocks in certain neighborhoods. So it's like, if you live in this certain block
247
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:31,280
radius, what are you going to do? You're going to associate with the people that are in your
248
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:36,160
neighborhood. And if you're going to associate with somebody outside of the blocks, then you're
249
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:41,440
going to have some problems where you live. So I mean, it just kind of is what it is. I mean,
250
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:48,720
when you grew up around it, it's normal and not necessarily great, but it is what it is.
251
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:59,440
He's getting by, doing the thing. His first arrest is for possession of crack cocaine in 1989.
252
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:04,720
And for the next three years, he was frequently in and out of jail. How old was he then? So in 1989,
253
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:10,800
he was like 18. Yeah, 18 or- Yeah, he graduated in 89. So yeah, it was right after he graduated,
254
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:19,520
was his first arrest. He's had many, many arrests over the years, even up through 2012.
255
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,880
Stooped drugs getting in trouble that late. Was it him and Martha Stewart?
256
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:30,880
His 2012 arrest was in Norway. He brought a very tiny amount of marijuana.
257
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:36,240
Like a pound or something like that? It was under an ounce. It was well under an ounce.
258
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:44,000
It was probably in a pants pocket in a suitcase that he didn't even realize he had. And then
259
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:49,120
roughly $30,000 in cash in his carry-on bag. Also not acceptable?
260
00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:58,720
And he got to Norway and they were like, oh, you can't do that. I don't know why that rule exists,
261
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:04,080
something to do with money laundering, I assume. But you can't just carry a briefcase full of cash
262
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:08,800
around into foreign countries. On one hand, it is a little fucking weird
263
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,920
because that's a lot of money. It's Snoop. But I was going to say on the other hand,
264
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:18,160
when you're a multi, multi, multi, multi millionaire, or possibly a billionaire,
265
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,040
who knows what Snoop- I didn't look up his net worth, but I will.
266
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:28,000
$30,000 is probably like 30 bucks. He only had like a third of an ounce of weed on him.
267
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,520
He needed that money as soon as he landed. Right, to get more.
268
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:37,920
I guess like, isn't weed legal in Norway? I thought it was legal in most of Europe.
269
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,200
Maybe it's legal once you're there. Maybe it's not legal to bring it in.
270
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,200
Well, look, it's not that big of a deal. Just good thing he wasn't in Russia.
271
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,920
Right. Yes, I did have that thought. Jesus Christ. He should be more careful. I don't
272
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:54,480
think he's ever been to Russia. A Norwegian fucking jail? Come on now.
273
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:58,640
I'll go check into a Norwegian jail. I'm sure it's like a vacation.
274
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:05,520
Oh man, there's some guy listening to us in Norway in prison who's really mad at you right now.
275
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:13,600
Most of his arrests have been either like possession of weed or crack,
276
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:19,120
possession with intent to sell in his early days, and then also a lot of firearm arrest
277
00:28:19,120 --> 00:28:24,240
because he is a felon from the earlier drug charges. He's not allowed to have a gun,
278
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:29,600
but he always does. Why? He always does. I mean, not always. I don't know, but several times.
279
00:28:31,120 --> 00:28:35,760
Maybe after- If you're walking around 30 Gs, you're going to need to be packing heat too.
280
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:40,160
Look, let's just talk about the fact that I don't agree with guns, but maybe after he saw
281
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:44,640
what happened to Tupac, he's like, I better carry a gun too. You never know when somebody's going
282
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:51,920
to be out for you. Yeah. I mean, if you have a literal car in cash on you, like multiple cars-
283
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:58,240
I'm not going to get Snoop Dogg a pass on guns because I like him and I don't like all the so-called
284
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:06,640
patriots, but I mean, no bad reviews of the American flag, whatever, but guns. I don't
285
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:15,120
think it's a good idea to just carry around a gun. Yeah, or cash, or drugs, if you're in Norway.
286
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,120
I don't think you should carry this stuff around in the United States either.
287
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:24,240
Okay. He was arrested that one time for murder, and we'll get to that in a minute.
288
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,400
Oh, he was? We'll get to that in a minute. I didn't know about that.
289
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,400
Oh, you didn't? No, I thought he was wholesome. I didn't know.
290
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:32,160
Oh, well, this will be fun then. Oh, okay. Well, you know what? We can all be multifaceted.
291
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,600
I'm sure he's done a lot of changes for himself. There's a lot of gray area,
292
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,480
and especially in Snoop's life, there's a lot of gray area.
293
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,960
Well, it seems like he's come around to try to be a better person though.
294
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:49,440
No. Was the murder charge recent? No. He was acquitted, and we're going to talk about it.
295
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:56,640
He started a band, a group. If you're rappers, are you called a band or are you called a group?
296
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,200
Think a group. All right. So they were called
297
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:04,880
213, because that's the Long Beach area code. It was him and his two cousins, Nate Dogg and
298
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:11,680
Little Half Dead. Wait, they got Nate Dogg? I don't know why that's so funny, that his cousin is
299
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,760
Nate Dogg and he's Snoop Dogg. Why is that so funny to me?
300
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,080
And I think there's a few other dogs, and they're like the Dogg Pound.
301
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,040
The Dogg Pound, yeah. Yeah. They were a whole thing for a while.
302
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,880
This is so funny. And then also his friend, War and G. Do you guys remember War and G,
303
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,120
or is that before your time? Yeah, I remember War and G.
304
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:33,200
I remember him personally. We were friends. We went out to coffee once. Old friend.
305
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:40,400
So this is the 213 group, is these guys. And they were making their own tapes and probably-
306
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,560
Little mix tape. Yep. Probably selling them out of the
307
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,960
trunk of the car. Somebody put one of those tapes into Dr. Dre's hands.
308
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,840
Nice. And that is how Dr. Dre found Snoop Dogg.
309
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,360
Man, Dr. Dre, he has gotten so many people famous.
310
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:59,760
He's really something. So we're going to- Wait, does he have a coffee? Because he needs
311
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,320
an episode, I think. That'd be great. Should I not say
312
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,480
what I was going to say about Dr. Dre and save it just in case there's a coffee?
313
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,240
No, no. This will be a preview for a future episode.
314
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:19,520
Okay. 1987 NWA. They're like the first really big West Coast-
315
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,880
What does it stand for? You know I can't say it.
316
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,920
Just kidding. Just kidding. Wait, okay. N-word?
317
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,240
Yes. Race? What's W?
318
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:30,960
I don't know what it stands for. With?
319
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,720
Attitude. Attitude.
320
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,720
Oh, okay. I didn't know that. How did I not know that?
321
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,240
How did you not know that? I don't know. You can say N-word.
322
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,320
You can say N-word. As a white person, yes.
323
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:46,160
So the first NWA album was more like a compilation album.
324
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:51,120
There were three NWA songs and then each of these guys, there were five guys in this
325
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:55,440
group who were all really talented and all went on to have solo careers.
326
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:00,160
So it was kind of a mix of NWA songs and then solo songs.
327
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:04,720
And this was like Easy E was kind of the one who set the whole thing up and
328
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,760
then everyone ended up hating him because there were like disputes about contracts.
329
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,920
Yeah, money. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
330
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:23,600
So Easy E founded NWA and co-founded Ruthless Records who was making the NWA album.
331
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,400
So he just kind of had his hands everywhere.
332
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:26,900
Right.
333
00:32:26,900 --> 00:32:35,140
So 1988 Straight Outta Compton was the first official studio album.
334
00:32:35,700 --> 00:32:37,940
That was the one with Fuck the Police on it.
335
00:32:37,940 --> 00:32:40,340
So everybody got... That was NWA or that was...
336
00:32:40,340 --> 00:32:42,100
That was NWA, yeah. Okay, cool.
337
00:32:42,100 --> 00:32:44,180
And that got everybody all riled up, right?
338
00:32:44,180 --> 00:32:46,660
Right on. That was so huge.
339
00:32:47,780 --> 00:32:50,340
Blue Line. Blue Lines Matter.
340
00:32:50,340 --> 00:32:50,840
That was crossed.
341
00:32:51,700 --> 00:32:53,780
The Blue Line was definitely, yeah.
342
00:32:53,780 --> 00:32:57,380
It went double platinum, so plenty of people liked it just fine.
343
00:32:57,940 --> 00:32:58,440
Right.
344
00:32:58,900 --> 00:33:01,860
Ice Cube left in 89 over royalty disputes.
345
00:33:01,860 --> 00:33:06,340
He wrote over half the lyrics on Straight Outta Compton and didn't get paid appropriately, apparently.
346
00:33:07,460 --> 00:33:10,020
So then there was like a big public feud.
347
00:33:10,020 --> 00:33:18,100
And then Dr. Dre left in 1991 and joined Death Row Records over a contract dispute with Easy E.
348
00:33:18,100 --> 00:33:24,580
So 1991 Death Row Records, the story I read, which I didn't write down, was that Dre got out
349
00:33:24,580 --> 00:33:28,340
of his contract with Easy E because Shugknight showed up and...
350
00:33:28,340 --> 00:33:28,840
Killed him.
351
00:33:33,780 --> 00:33:38,100
That is not the person that Shugknight is currently in prison for murdering.
352
00:33:39,620 --> 00:33:40,660
Easy E is still alive.
353
00:33:40,660 --> 00:33:43,540
Easy E is still alive. Luckily...
354
00:33:43,540 --> 00:33:44,420
That we know of.
355
00:33:45,700 --> 00:33:46,820
He might be Tupac.
356
00:33:46,820 --> 00:33:49,460
I heard Tupac is still alive.
357
00:33:49,460 --> 00:33:54,260
I'm not going to go into any of the conspiracy theories about Tupac and Biggie,
358
00:33:54,260 --> 00:33:58,020
but I did read some really good ones about Shugknight.
359
00:33:59,460 --> 00:34:05,940
Apparently he had police that he was paying off and maybe Shugknight himself had Tupac killed
360
00:34:06,500 --> 00:34:09,540
so that he could kill Biggie because maybe Tupac was going to leave...
361
00:34:09,540 --> 00:34:11,780
I don't know. The whole thing is very...
362
00:34:11,780 --> 00:34:16,020
There's lots of wacky theories about what might have happened.
363
00:34:16,020 --> 00:34:17,140
I don't know who killed who.
364
00:34:17,140 --> 00:34:20,500
Every fucking just people are dying and killing each other and...
365
00:34:20,500 --> 00:34:21,300
It's very futile.
366
00:34:21,300 --> 00:34:21,780
I can't keep track of it.
367
00:34:21,780 --> 00:34:23,140
Very futile, the rap game.
368
00:34:24,180 --> 00:34:29,940
There's turf and territory and boundaries and sometimes they get crossed lyrically.
369
00:34:29,940 --> 00:34:31,140
Gang of Thrones.
370
00:34:31,140 --> 00:34:34,820
I feel like if you just stay away from Shugknight, you're okay.
371
00:34:34,820 --> 00:34:36,820
I mean, just that name makes me anxious.
372
00:34:38,820 --> 00:34:42,900
I don't even want to talk about him. I don't even want him coming to find me.
373
00:34:42,900 --> 00:34:44,500
He's getting out of prison in 10 years.
374
00:34:44,500 --> 00:34:45,540
Oh, man.
375
00:34:45,540 --> 00:34:47,860
And we are not going to say anything bad about him.
376
00:34:48,660 --> 00:34:49,860
We don't want to be on a list anymore.
377
00:34:49,860 --> 00:34:52,420
I heard he's a perfectly fine person.
378
00:34:52,420 --> 00:34:54,180
He's a sugar bear. He's a sugar bear.
379
00:34:54,900 --> 00:34:55,400
Yeah.
380
00:34:56,100 --> 00:34:56,500
Okay.
381
00:34:56,500 --> 00:34:57,540
And Snoop Dogg's wholesome.
382
00:35:02,020 --> 00:35:08,980
I'm starting to feel like did Snoop Dogg just have the most major of PR?
383
00:35:08,980 --> 00:35:14,740
Like, you know when like a PR person comes in and fucking turns it all around?
384
00:35:14,740 --> 00:35:17,620
Was this like the greatest PR turnaround of all time?
385
00:35:17,620 --> 00:35:19,540
I don't think he needs a PR person.
386
00:35:19,540 --> 00:35:23,620
I think he just comes out and says what's on his mind and people are like, all right, you're cool.
387
00:35:23,620 --> 00:35:24,660
Yeah, you're fucking cool.
388
00:35:24,660 --> 00:35:28,660
I mean, like he was drawing crowds just in school.
389
00:35:29,140 --> 00:35:35,940
But like how do you go from like a murder or whatever to like Martha Stewart's best friend?
390
00:35:35,940 --> 00:35:36,580
You know what I mean?
391
00:35:36,580 --> 00:35:38,660
Like that is some excellent...
392
00:35:38,660 --> 00:35:38,980
Money.
393
00:35:38,980 --> 00:35:39,940
I'm trying to tell you.
394
00:35:39,940 --> 00:35:41,060
Okay. Okay. Okay.
395
00:35:41,060 --> 00:35:43,300
Money helps. Money helps a lot.
396
00:35:43,300 --> 00:35:45,220
Collabs help a lot.
397
00:35:46,180 --> 00:35:51,060
I don't know, but he's like still like the king of like does not matter what he's done.
398
00:35:51,060 --> 00:35:54,500
He's still like just a cool, chill dude.
399
00:35:54,500 --> 00:35:56,500
Yeah, of course. You know?
400
00:35:56,500 --> 00:35:56,980
You know?
401
00:35:56,980 --> 00:35:58,420
Yeah. So how do we get there?
402
00:35:58,420 --> 00:36:00,100
Yeah. Okay. Let's go back to your story.
403
00:36:00,100 --> 00:36:02,260
1991, Suge Knight kills Eazy-E.
404
00:36:03,620 --> 00:36:03,940
Yeah.
405
00:36:03,940 --> 00:36:04,820
I did not say that.
406
00:36:05,780 --> 00:36:06,340
Close enough.
407
00:36:06,340 --> 00:36:10,580
Listen to how Death Row Records started though.
408
00:36:10,580 --> 00:36:16,180
So it's basically just Suge Knight and Dre and this one other guy who's like a producer guy,
409
00:36:16,180 --> 00:36:17,700
and they need money.
410
00:36:17,700 --> 00:36:23,220
So they go to this guy named Michael Harry O. Harris, the godfather.
411
00:36:23,780 --> 00:36:26,980
This guy was in prison for 33 years.
412
00:36:26,980 --> 00:36:33,540
He was in prison because he was like the guy bringing crack to LA, period.
413
00:36:33,540 --> 00:36:36,740
He was working with the Bloods and the Crips and a Colombian cartel.
414
00:36:36,740 --> 00:36:38,820
So is he buying it directly from the CIA?
415
00:36:38,820 --> 00:36:40,260
Is that how that works?
416
00:36:40,260 --> 00:36:45,060
I cannot believe the CIA wasn't even mentioned when I read about Harry O.
417
00:36:45,060 --> 00:36:46,740
They're very good at their coverups.
418
00:36:46,740 --> 00:36:49,060
They can scrub the internet. They're good.
419
00:36:50,020 --> 00:36:52,020
They scrubbed Wikipedia super well.
420
00:36:52,020 --> 00:36:55,140
Yeah. They have somebody whose job is to literally delete,
421
00:36:56,100 --> 00:36:59,780
sit there all day deleting all the requests to.
422
00:36:59,780 --> 00:37:02,900
You know what? The CIA is the internet.
423
00:37:02,900 --> 00:37:03,140
Yeah.
424
00:37:03,140 --> 00:37:06,660
If it gets on there, they have a code that immediately deletes it.
425
00:37:06,660 --> 00:37:06,900
Right.
426
00:37:07,780 --> 00:37:09,860
I was actually reading about the-
427
00:37:09,860 --> 00:37:12,580
In fact, this podcast episode just got deleted.
428
00:37:12,580 --> 00:37:13,380
Just stopped happening.
429
00:37:15,220 --> 00:37:16,500
It's no longer on the internet.
430
00:37:17,700 --> 00:37:19,300
The CIA got us.
431
00:37:19,300 --> 00:37:24,900
When I was reading about the South Bronx burning in the 70s while hip hop was being invented,
432
00:37:26,100 --> 00:37:31,540
there was a reference to MK Ultra and the congressional hearings for MK Ultra were
433
00:37:31,540 --> 00:37:34,580
going on at the time and I didn't even click on it, you guys.
434
00:37:34,580 --> 00:37:38,500
I saved you an hour of editing markets, a fucking hour.
435
00:37:38,500 --> 00:37:39,940
We'll talk about it later.
436
00:37:39,940 --> 00:37:41,460
Bonus episode.
437
00:37:41,460 --> 00:37:44,020
Bonus episode on, oh my God, on MK Ultra.
438
00:37:44,020 --> 00:37:44,260
That would be amazing.
439
00:37:44,260 --> 00:37:45,620
Did they make a copy?
440
00:37:45,620 --> 00:37:48,020
I don't know anything about MK Ultra, actually.
441
00:37:48,020 --> 00:37:50,500
I will find a way to work a copy into that story.
442
00:37:50,500 --> 00:37:51,140
Stay tuned.
443
00:37:51,140 --> 00:37:52,740
How do I not know anything about it?
444
00:37:53,460 --> 00:37:57,300
Is this one of your 1970s weather underground things?
445
00:37:57,940 --> 00:37:59,380
It's right up in there.
446
00:37:59,380 --> 00:38:01,220
This is like a Black Panther thing.
447
00:38:01,220 --> 00:38:02,500
Oh, okay.
448
00:38:02,500 --> 00:38:03,620
It was before my time.
449
00:38:08,820 --> 00:38:09,540
Okay.
450
00:38:09,540 --> 00:38:12,820
This guy, Harry O, is making $2 million a day.
451
00:38:12,820 --> 00:38:19,220
He's got a nationwide crack ring that he is solely in charge of.
452
00:38:21,220 --> 00:38:22,820
He eventually gets busted.
453
00:38:22,820 --> 00:38:23,860
He's in prison.
454
00:38:23,860 --> 00:38:27,220
Somehow he keeps all his money, all of it.
455
00:38:27,220 --> 00:38:35,780
He's trying to make up for his bad deeds by just pumping money into small businesses
456
00:38:35,780 --> 00:38:36,500
in the community.
457
00:38:37,460 --> 00:38:39,460
There's another gray area dude.
458
00:38:40,260 --> 00:38:42,820
Was he a mobster, like an Italian mobster guy?
459
00:38:42,820 --> 00:38:44,180
No, he was a Black guy.
460
00:38:44,180 --> 00:38:47,220
He was a human being, an original gangster.
461
00:38:47,220 --> 00:38:50,260
He's what we call a plug in the industry.
462
00:38:52,740 --> 00:38:53,940
I don't know that term.
463
00:38:53,940 --> 00:38:55,220
Oh, he's a connector.
464
00:38:55,220 --> 00:38:56,900
He's the plug.
465
00:38:56,900 --> 00:38:57,940
He's the guy that you go to.
466
00:38:57,940 --> 00:38:58,900
Oh, I get it.
467
00:38:59,620 --> 00:39:01,060
But he sounds like a next level.
468
00:39:02,020 --> 00:39:03,380
He was the OG plug.
469
00:39:03,380 --> 00:39:04,900
Yeah, he was big.
470
00:39:04,900 --> 00:39:05,860
He was a big guy.
471
00:39:06,500 --> 00:39:11,780
So they somehow, Suge Knight goes to prison and meets with him.
472
00:39:11,780 --> 00:39:13,060
And this guy ends up like...
473
00:39:14,020 --> 00:39:16,260
Wait, Suge Knight just goes to the visitor's room.
474
00:39:17,060 --> 00:39:18,980
On this particular occasion.
475
00:39:18,980 --> 00:39:24,020
Suge Knight just goes to visit and talks to Harry O.
476
00:39:24,020 --> 00:39:30,100
And he's like, yes, I will totally bankroll this death row records project.
477
00:39:30,100 --> 00:39:30,740
It's amazing.
478
00:39:31,300 --> 00:39:35,300
There's one other way that they got some money for their project,
479
00:39:35,300 --> 00:39:37,220
which is maybe you've heard the story.
480
00:39:39,780 --> 00:39:42,660
Vanilla Ice, the Ice Ice Baby song.
481
00:39:43,540 --> 00:39:50,660
Suge Knight managed a guy who supposedly wrote that song or helped write that song
482
00:39:50,660 --> 00:39:52,260
and didn't get any royalties.
483
00:39:52,260 --> 00:39:58,420
So this is the story about Suge Knight showing up at Vanilla Ice's hotel room,
484
00:39:58,420 --> 00:40:02,820
pulling him out on the balcony, dangling him by his ankles,
485
00:40:03,300 --> 00:40:07,780
and getting him to agree to turn over the royalties from Ice Ice Baby
486
00:40:07,780 --> 00:40:10,180
so that they could start up death row records with the money.
487
00:40:10,180 --> 00:40:11,940
My mouth is wide open.
488
00:40:11,940 --> 00:40:12,900
You have not heard that story?
489
00:40:12,900 --> 00:40:13,700
I have not.
490
00:40:13,700 --> 00:40:14,340
No.
491
00:40:14,340 --> 00:40:16,340
Apparently, it's slightly exaggerated.
492
00:40:16,340 --> 00:40:18,340
Later, Vanilla Ice said he didn't dangle me.
493
00:40:18,340 --> 00:40:20,420
He did threaten to throw me off the balcony.
494
00:40:20,420 --> 00:40:25,700
But the dangling over the balcony story was like a legend for like decades.
495
00:40:25,700 --> 00:40:30,740
And they did end up going to court over it or settling somehow eventually.
496
00:40:30,740 --> 00:40:36,020
But it was only after Suge Knight had like shown up several times
497
00:40:36,020 --> 00:40:38,020
and like threatened to kill Vanilla Ice.
498
00:40:38,020 --> 00:40:40,900
So it's like he, Suge Knight doesn't shake people down.
499
00:40:40,900 --> 00:40:42,020
He shugs people down.
500
00:40:44,020 --> 00:40:44,980
He got shugged down.
501
00:40:44,980 --> 00:40:46,500
I think he's going to like that, actually.
502
00:40:46,500 --> 00:40:47,380
You should send that to him.
503
00:40:47,380 --> 00:40:48,260
You should send him a letter.
504
00:40:48,260 --> 00:40:49,140
He's going to listen.
505
00:40:49,140 --> 00:40:50,740
He's going to listen to this episode.
506
00:40:50,740 --> 00:40:53,540
He's going to really appreciate how nice we've been to him.
507
00:40:53,540 --> 00:40:54,420
Dear Mr. Knight,
508
00:40:58,420 --> 00:41:00,340
you've recently been featured on our podcast.
509
00:41:03,940 --> 00:41:09,380
Before we move forward, I would like to tell you what happened eventually to Harry O,
510
00:41:10,100 --> 00:41:13,060
the fucking godfather with all the money in prison.
511
00:41:13,060 --> 00:41:20,660
He was, what's the word when a president is like pardoned.
512
00:41:20,660 --> 00:41:21,220
Pardoned.
513
00:41:21,220 --> 00:41:22,180
I had a fucking, I almost called it.
514
00:41:22,180 --> 00:41:22,980
Was he pardoned by Donald?
515
00:41:22,980 --> 00:41:23,940
I almost said it.
516
00:41:23,940 --> 00:41:24,740
Wait, wait, wait.
517
00:41:24,740 --> 00:41:25,300
Let me guess.
518
00:41:26,340 --> 00:41:28,180
Not Bill Cosby, the other one.
519
00:41:28,180 --> 00:41:28,740
Bill Clinton.
520
00:41:28,740 --> 00:41:29,300
Bill Clinton.
521
00:41:33,140 --> 00:41:36,500
It was Donald Trump's last hour.
522
00:41:36,500 --> 00:41:36,900
Really?
523
00:41:36,900 --> 00:41:37,860
In the presidency.
524
00:41:37,860 --> 00:41:38,660
Nice.
525
00:41:38,660 --> 00:41:39,620
Snoop Dogg.
526
00:41:39,620 --> 00:41:43,220
Oh, is this why Snoop Dogg went to, didn't he go visit?
527
00:41:43,220 --> 00:41:49,860
Contacted Donald Trump and said, will you please consider pardoning my very good friend,
528
00:41:49,860 --> 00:41:50,980
Harry O.
529
00:41:50,980 --> 00:41:59,380
I recently learned that that process, it was like it said on the internet.
530
00:41:59,380 --> 00:42:03,060
So allegedly that process was a $2 million process.
531
00:42:04,100 --> 00:42:08,020
If you had $2 million, you could request a pardon.
532
00:42:08,020 --> 00:42:10,900
Donald Trump would give out any pardon for $2 million?
533
00:42:10,900 --> 00:42:11,860
No surprise there.
534
00:42:11,860 --> 00:42:15,300
That is petty change to Harry O and to Snoop Dogg.
535
00:42:15,300 --> 00:42:15,940
Allegedly.
536
00:42:15,940 --> 00:42:17,860
So that's great.
537
00:42:17,860 --> 00:42:23,700
Well, my understanding is if you were a celebrity, Donald Trump was like, hey, all right, cool.
538
00:42:23,700 --> 00:42:28,420
Because Kanye West and Kardashian got Kevin Gates pardoned too, I think.
539
00:42:29,220 --> 00:42:31,060
I think they got a woman pardoned too.
540
00:42:31,060 --> 00:42:33,460
Some woman who is locked up.
541
00:42:34,660 --> 00:42:35,780
This was a good one.
542
00:42:35,780 --> 00:42:40,740
Like some woman who was locked up for something bogus, like killing her attacker or something
543
00:42:40,740 --> 00:42:41,300
like that.
544
00:42:41,300 --> 00:42:42,340
Oh, okay.
545
00:42:42,340 --> 00:42:43,700
Killing her abuser.
546
00:42:43,700 --> 00:42:44,180
Look.
547
00:42:44,180 --> 00:42:49,140
Kardashian went ahead and managed a relationship with Donald Trump and got her pardoned.
548
00:42:49,140 --> 00:42:51,220
That should be Donald Trump's legacy right there.
549
00:42:51,220 --> 00:42:52,100
Look, you know what?
550
00:42:52,100 --> 00:42:53,540
The guy wasn't all bad.
551
00:42:53,540 --> 00:43:00,020
He would take a bribe and do the right thing accidentally for the right price.
552
00:43:00,020 --> 00:43:00,500
Yeah.
553
00:43:01,300 --> 00:43:01,860
You know what?
554
00:43:01,860 --> 00:43:03,300
That's fine, I guess.
555
00:43:03,300 --> 00:43:08,740
If you can be bought into doing the right thing sometimes, I guess.
556
00:43:08,740 --> 00:43:12,260
And that is really like American policy right there.
557
00:43:12,260 --> 00:43:12,900
Yeah.
558
00:43:12,900 --> 00:43:15,860
I mean, yeah, is he really doing anything that's un-American here?
559
00:43:16,420 --> 00:43:17,140
I guess not.
560
00:43:17,860 --> 00:43:23,140
I said I wasn't going to tell any Suge Knight stories, but you just reminded me of a good one.
561
00:43:24,740 --> 00:43:30,340
Later on when things were kind of falling apart at Death Row, I'm going outside my timeline now,
562
00:43:30,340 --> 00:43:35,060
and Michael Harris, Harry O was still in prison.
563
00:43:35,060 --> 00:43:38,020
His wife was actually like handling a lot of things.
564
00:43:38,020 --> 00:43:41,620
He was making a lot of decisions for Death Row from prison.
565
00:43:41,620 --> 00:43:46,340
And by the way, currently Death Row Records is owned by Snoop Dogg,
566
00:43:46,340 --> 00:43:49,060
and the chief operations officer is Harry O.
567
00:43:49,780 --> 00:43:50,260
Amazing.
568
00:43:50,260 --> 00:43:50,820
Wow.
569
00:43:50,820 --> 00:43:50,980
Cool.
570
00:43:50,980 --> 00:43:52,980
So they're still super tight.
571
00:43:52,980 --> 00:43:55,460
Wait, if he got locked up, what, would that have been the 90s?
572
00:43:55,460 --> 00:43:57,300
Wasn't he about to get out anyways?
573
00:43:57,300 --> 00:43:59,220
What was Donald Trump pardoning?
574
00:43:59,220 --> 00:44:00,580
Because didn't you say Harry O got locked up for 33 years?
575
00:44:00,580 --> 00:44:02,980
He had like another eight years or something ago.
576
00:44:02,980 --> 00:44:03,300
Oh, okay.
577
00:44:03,300 --> 00:44:03,780
Yeah.
578
00:44:03,780 --> 00:44:05,060
He served quite a few years.
579
00:44:05,060 --> 00:44:05,560
Yeah.
580
00:44:07,620 --> 00:44:15,620
So his wife, Suge Knight was not paying, was not giving his wife the money that he,
581
00:44:15,620 --> 00:44:19,620
not Suge's wife, Harry O's wife, was supposed to be collecting money from Suge,
582
00:44:19,620 --> 00:44:21,140
and Suge was not paying her.
583
00:44:21,700 --> 00:44:24,980
And that ended up being like a lawsuit.
584
00:44:24,980 --> 00:44:30,100
And it was like a situation where like, Suge's house got raided,
585
00:44:30,100 --> 00:44:34,020
and they like looked at all of his accounts, and they were going to like take his money
586
00:44:34,020 --> 00:44:36,820
because this was like a legit business deal on paper.
587
00:44:36,820 --> 00:44:44,180
And I feel like you do, if you, I feel like it's extremely irresponsible to try to fucking cheat
588
00:44:44,180 --> 00:44:45,060
this Harry O guy.
589
00:44:45,060 --> 00:44:46,100
Yeah, that's a bad idea.
590
00:44:46,100 --> 00:44:49,540
I feel like this guy is like top level.
591
00:44:50,180 --> 00:44:53,140
I mean, I know Suge Knight is like super badass and everything,
592
00:44:53,140 --> 00:44:55,300
but like you still got to kind of know your place.
593
00:44:55,300 --> 00:44:56,500
I know, exactly.
594
00:44:56,500 --> 00:44:57,860
I feel like this was not a good idea.
595
00:44:57,860 --> 00:44:58,820
It was a bad idea.
596
00:44:58,820 --> 00:45:05,140
But they like investigate Suge Knight, and he literally has like $11 in his bank account,
597
00:45:05,140 --> 00:45:06,100
supposedly.
598
00:45:06,100 --> 00:45:08,820
So like, I don't think he was actually bankrupt.
599
00:45:08,820 --> 00:45:10,820
I think he just had it like hidden in other places.
600
00:45:10,820 --> 00:45:12,020
Oh, he had already moved it.
601
00:45:12,020 --> 00:45:12,660
Yeah.
602
00:45:12,660 --> 00:45:14,580
But that was funny.
603
00:45:14,580 --> 00:45:22,340
He had like $25,000 in jewelry, $2,000 in clothing, and $11 in his bank account was like
604
00:45:22,340 --> 00:45:23,540
all of his assets.
605
00:45:23,540 --> 00:45:24,980
Like that's just what's on him.
606
00:45:24,980 --> 00:45:25,460
Right.
607
00:45:25,460 --> 00:45:25,700
That's like...
608
00:45:26,580 --> 00:45:27,220
Yeah.
609
00:45:27,220 --> 00:45:27,860
You know what?
610
00:45:27,860 --> 00:45:32,820
That's a, you know, I think that the guy from our last episode would tell him he's a very
611
00:45:32,820 --> 00:45:33,620
smart businessman.
612
00:45:33,620 --> 00:45:36,900
I didn't get it right.
613
00:45:36,900 --> 00:45:38,820
Or two episodes ago, I should say.
614
00:45:38,820 --> 00:45:39,060
Yeah.
615
00:45:40,900 --> 00:45:42,020
It was in Puerto Rico.
616
00:45:42,020 --> 00:45:43,300
That's where all the money was.
617
00:45:43,300 --> 00:45:46,020
Shout out to whoever made me this gin and juice.
618
00:45:46,020 --> 00:45:46,260
Yeah.
619
00:45:46,260 --> 00:45:47,300
I really appreciate it.
620
00:45:47,300 --> 00:45:53,060
Yeah, you know, I felt like it was episode appropriate to sip on some gin and juice.
621
00:45:53,060 --> 00:45:54,420
And CBD juice.
622
00:45:54,420 --> 00:45:54,820
Yeah.
623
00:45:54,820 --> 00:45:58,980
And CBD infused Alderberry and passion fruit juice.
624
00:45:58,980 --> 00:46:00,500
High class.
625
00:46:00,500 --> 00:46:02,180
I feel it healing me.
626
00:46:02,180 --> 00:46:04,500
Is your mind on your money or is your money on your mind?
627
00:46:09,300 --> 00:46:10,580
Because I got both.
628
00:46:11,300 --> 00:46:12,740
I feel like that's not...
629
00:46:12,740 --> 00:46:14,900
I feel like when Snoop says it, it's a good thing.
630
00:46:14,900 --> 00:46:18,020
But when I say my money is on my mind, it's like a negative.
631
00:46:18,020 --> 00:46:20,420
It's like you can't stop thinking about being broke.
632
00:46:22,180 --> 00:46:22,900
Oh, I see.
633
00:46:22,900 --> 00:46:25,060
That's like the...
634
00:46:25,060 --> 00:46:25,300
Yeah.
635
00:46:27,700 --> 00:46:27,940
Okay.
636
00:46:27,940 --> 00:46:29,780
So let me see if I can get this timeline right.
637
00:46:31,300 --> 00:46:32,420
So 1992.
638
00:46:32,420 --> 00:46:35,060
1991, Death Row Records.
639
00:46:35,060 --> 00:46:35,700
Boom.
640
00:46:35,700 --> 00:46:39,540
1992, Dre releases The Chronic.
641
00:46:39,540 --> 00:46:44,420
And Snoop is like the special guest star on 10 out of the 15 tracks.
642
00:46:44,420 --> 00:46:45,060
Babam.
643
00:46:45,060 --> 00:46:46,660
And like steals the show.
644
00:46:46,660 --> 00:46:47,380
Nice.
645
00:46:47,380 --> 00:46:48,740
Nobody raps like this guy.
646
00:46:48,740 --> 00:46:50,900
His voice like rap up to this point.
647
00:46:50,900 --> 00:46:53,620
There was like a lot of angry yelling, right?
648
00:46:53,620 --> 00:46:56,340
And like all of a sudden Snoop comes in with this like...
649
00:46:56,340 --> 00:46:59,460
Somebody called him a molasses drawl.
650
00:46:59,460 --> 00:47:03,460
Just like soft and slow, but fast at the same time.
651
00:47:03,460 --> 00:47:04,420
How does he do that?
652
00:47:04,420 --> 00:47:05,300
I don't know.
653
00:47:05,300 --> 00:47:05,860
Amazing.
654
00:47:05,860 --> 00:47:11,860
So that comes out...
655
00:47:11,860 --> 00:47:14,660
I didn't write down the month, but it's 1992.
656
00:47:14,660 --> 00:47:20,900
August of 1993 is the shooting incident that Snoop is involved in.
657
00:47:20,900 --> 00:47:27,300
So he's already sort of famous for being on The Chronic all over the place.
658
00:47:27,300 --> 00:47:33,060
And three months after the shooting, he's going to release Doggy Style.
659
00:47:33,060 --> 00:47:35,860
And it is going to be amazing.
660
00:47:35,860 --> 00:47:39,380
So he's like right on the cusp of fame.
661
00:47:39,380 --> 00:47:40,580
He has...
662
00:47:40,580 --> 00:47:46,820
With money from The Chronic, he has purchased a new car and he's moved to a nicer apartment.
663
00:47:46,820 --> 00:47:49,620
But like that his life is the same.
664
00:47:49,620 --> 00:47:50,340
You know what I mean?
665
00:47:50,340 --> 00:47:52,580
It's like he's living the same life.
666
00:47:53,380 --> 00:47:58,820
So he has a run in at some point with this guy named Philip Woldemariam.
667
00:47:58,820 --> 00:48:03,780
And Philip pulls a gun on Snoop.
668
00:48:03,780 --> 00:48:06,180
And it's some kind of like, you just moved to this neighborhood.
669
00:48:06,180 --> 00:48:07,220
This is my neighborhood.
670
00:48:07,220 --> 00:48:08,980
And you need to know your place.
671
00:48:08,980 --> 00:48:10,020
You think you're hot shit.
672
00:48:10,020 --> 00:48:10,580
You're not.
673
00:48:10,580 --> 00:48:11,700
It's like that kind of thing.
674
00:48:12,660 --> 00:48:14,020
But nothing comes of it.
675
00:48:14,020 --> 00:48:18,260
You know, Snoop is just like, all right, you know, and like walks away from it.
676
00:48:18,260 --> 00:48:28,660
So sometime weeks later, and this is August of 93, Snoop is in his apartment with his bodyguard.
677
00:48:28,660 --> 00:48:33,060
And he hears something, an altercation outside.
678
00:48:33,060 --> 00:48:37,940
So he looks out the window and he sees his friend, Sean Abrams, outside.
679
00:48:37,940 --> 00:48:42,580
And there's like this car full of gang bangers from the neighborhood.
680
00:48:42,580 --> 00:48:46,020
And one of them is this filled up Woldemariam guy.
681
00:48:46,900 --> 00:48:51,140
I just want to put out a note too, just to paint a picture of the 90s.
682
00:48:51,780 --> 00:48:53,620
Like I feel like the 90s everywhere.
683
00:48:54,660 --> 00:48:58,100
Like high gang activity, high lawlessness.
684
00:48:58,100 --> 00:49:00,660
Like drug dealing, crime.
685
00:49:00,660 --> 00:49:02,900
Everything I feel like was wild in the 90s.
686
00:49:03,620 --> 00:49:08,340
So like even though Snoop's dog's getting some fame, moving up into maybe a nicer apartment
687
00:49:08,340 --> 00:49:12,660
or whatever, I feel like this is why there's still like drama.
688
00:49:12,660 --> 00:49:14,820
There's so much drama in the LBC.
689
00:49:14,820 --> 00:49:16,820
And like just everywhere though.
690
00:49:16,820 --> 00:49:19,460
New York, Chicago, everywhere.
691
00:49:19,460 --> 00:49:21,860
So much Aurora, Illinois.
692
00:49:21,860 --> 00:49:22,420
That's true.
693
00:49:22,420 --> 00:49:23,780
Aurora was a mess back then.
694
00:49:23,780 --> 00:49:24,180
Yeah.
695
00:49:24,180 --> 00:49:26,420
So everything was a mess in the 90s.
696
00:49:26,420 --> 00:49:26,920
Yeah.
697
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,000
I think those are the top four messes.
698
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:30,600
The 90s?
699
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:34,120
Yeah. You said New York, LA, Chicago, and Aurora.
700
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:34,680
Top four.
701
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:35,560
Top four.
702
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:36,060
Yeah.
703
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:41,720
So Snoop is in his apartment with his bodyguard, Malik.
704
00:49:41,720 --> 00:49:43,800
And he sends, is that his name?
705
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:44,200
Malik.
706
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:49,880
Yeah. He sends Malik down to the car and whatever Malik says or does or shows them,
707
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:51,960
they drive away and everything's fine.
708
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:52,440
Cool.
709
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:59,160
So later that same night, Snoop and Malik and this Sean Abrams guy are driving around
710
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:00,440
in Snoop's new Jeep.
711
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:04,200
And Snoop is driving and Malik is in the passenger seat.
712
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:09,240
And they pull up to this park and this guy, Philip Waldemariam.
713
00:50:09,240 --> 00:50:11,480
Why is he driving at night going to a park?
714
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:12,680
Because they're driving around.
715
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:13,560
You know, it's the 90s.
716
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:14,120
What do you do?
717
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:14,840
I mean, that's true.
718
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:15,640
It was the 90s.
719
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:17,720
Allegedly, he was going to the recording studio.
720
00:50:17,720 --> 00:50:18,220
Okay.
721
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:20,440
So they-
722
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:24,680
I just kind of, I want to be fair here and give this like a unbiased questioning.
723
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:28,280
Back when gas was like under a fucking dollar, you just drove around.
724
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:28,780
That's true.
725
00:50:28,780 --> 00:50:30,440
It's like 95 cents a gallon.
726
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:30,940
Yeah.
727
00:50:30,940 --> 00:50:31,440
You're right.
728
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:31,940
Exactly.
729
00:50:31,940 --> 00:50:32,440
It's true.
730
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:35,320
You just fucking drive around, do nothing, fucking waste gas.
731
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:39,240
The prosecutor did suggest that they were hunting these guys.
732
00:50:39,240 --> 00:50:41,640
That was suggested that they were out looking for them.
733
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:48,200
So they pull up to this park and Philip and a couple of his buddies are sitting at a picnic
734
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:51,560
table eating Mexican food as one does late at night in LA.
735
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:52,520
Just having a picnic.
736
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:53,020
Sounds so good.
737
00:50:53,020 --> 00:50:53,800
A late night picnic.
738
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:54,300
Sounds great.
739
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:59,080
There's some sort of confrontation.
740
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:00,600
Malik never gets out of the car.
741
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:01,720
Nobody gets out of the car.
742
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:07,400
Can I just say that Philip Wozniak or whatever his last name is,
743
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,680
is like the least gangster name ever.
744
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:11,180
That's all.
745
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:15,000
He's 20 years old and he's an Ethiopian immigrant.
746
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:16,840
It is a strange name.
747
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:17,480
Yeah.
748
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:20,360
Well, it could be from colonial days.
749
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:23,880
It sounds like a colonial era name.
750
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:25,000
Don't fuck with Philip.
751
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:27,080
Woldemiriam.
752
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:28,040
Woldemiriam?
753
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:28,280
Yeah.
754
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:29,480
That guy's a hard ass.
755
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:31,720
I wonder what his mom called him when he was a baby.
756
00:51:31,720 --> 00:51:32,220
Aw.
757
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:33,800
Philip Woldemiriam.
758
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:43,480
So it's a tapless Jeep that they're driving in and Malik stands up in the Jeep and is
759
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:48,040
like yelling at these guys and Philip gets up from the table and starts walking towards the Jeep.
760
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:53,240
And, you know, here's where things are a little iffy.
761
00:51:53,240 --> 00:52:01,720
Like, allegedly Philip is drawing his gun before Malik's shoes.
762
00:52:01,720 --> 00:52:02,520
Self defense.
763
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:03,020
Yes.
764
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:10,760
The prosecutor tries to say that Philip was shot in the back, but the...
765
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:14,280
Exit wound?
766
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:15,560
The gun evidence or whatever?
767
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:18,600
The guy, yeah, whoever the corner or whatever.
768
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:20,200
He says it went through his side.
769
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:25,000
So it went like directly through from one side of him to the other side.
770
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:32,440
His two friends that were with him, Jason London and Sean Joseph, both hid the gun.
771
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,960
They took the gun, they hid the gun, said there was no gun.
772
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:37,240
He was never armed.
773
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:39,480
That's a little sus.
774
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:41,080
A little sus.
775
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:45,000
Jason London ends up admitting on the stand that they did hide the gun.
776
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:52,280
And he also says on the stand that Philip had a reputation for irrational behavior
777
00:52:52,920 --> 00:53:00,040
and that he was drawing on the car and that it was like legit self-defense.
778
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:05,480
His testimony really saved Snoop's ass.
779
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:14,360
And also what didn't hurt was the prosecutor in his opening statements admitting that the LAPD
780
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:19,400
had fucked up majorly and there was a ton of missing evidence, including the clothing
781
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,520
Philip was wearing, shell casings from the scene.
782
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:23,800
That all would have been helpful.
783
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:25,960
Everything just fucking disappeared.
784
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:33,400
And there were several jurors who could visibly rolled their eyes when the prosecutor says this,
785
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:37,720
because this is immediately following the OJ Simpson trial.
786
00:53:37,720 --> 00:53:42,040
There's so much bullshit going on with the LAPD at this point.
787
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:47,480
I meant to look up when is this in connection with Rodney King and all that.
788
00:53:49,240 --> 00:53:50,520
People hate the LAPD.
789
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:51,160
Everybody hates the LAPD.
790
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:55,880
I feel like the LAPD is problematic and has always been problematic.
791
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:59,800
I don't know how they are today, but I imagine there's probably still problematic.
792
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:03,320
Yeah, this was kind of the height of their bad reputation, I feel.
793
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:04,520
I feel like this was-
794
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:09,160
There was just that fucking city council controversy, the racism at the city council,
795
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:13,160
the very tippy top of the city council, and they're all in bed together.
796
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:18,680
I'm sorry, but that's how it works in local government.
797
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:24,920
But did they lose that stuff on purpose to help Snoop dogs?
798
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:25,960
I don't think so.
799
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:27,560
I think they were just fucking war on them.
800
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:34,120
They just fucking show up and they're like, eh, do the bare minimum, black on black crime.
801
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:35,640
They don't give a fuck, man.
802
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:40,280
Yeah, they're probably just like up some fucking gangster kids shooting at each other again.
803
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:47,560
I don't see why Snoop Dogg needed to be at that park to begin with.
804
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:48,680
You know what I mean?
805
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:52,040
Unless they just went there to talk trash or they were driving by the park and they
806
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:53,960
happened to see him there and were like, let's talk trash.
807
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:57,560
I mean, that's what they say is that they just happened to spot him.
808
00:54:57,560 --> 00:54:59,240
But they could have just kept driving.
809
00:54:59,240 --> 00:55:00,440
They didn't need to stop and talk trash.
810
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:03,640
And that was Snoop driving and that's why Snoop was in so much trouble too.
811
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:08,200
But then on the other hand, they're just young punks at that age.
812
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:09,000
You know what I mean?
813
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:10,760
And kids in the neighborhood, you know.
814
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:14,120
Kids, late teens, early twenties are fucking dumbasses.
815
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:16,600
I don't care where you live, you're a dumbass.
816
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:18,120
Don't forget how young they were.
817
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:18,840
That's right.
818
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:19,340
Yeah.
819
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,920
But that still sucks that that kid had to die.
820
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:23,880
Yeah, it does.
821
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:25,000
I don't like that.
822
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:31,000
I do believe there was some sort of civil suit eventually and Snoop ended up
823
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:32,360
paying their family some money.
824
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:38,920
And he has said that he stopped talking about murder and death in his lyrics after that incident.
825
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:42,520
I mean, yeah, I would hope that it would be somewhat traumatic.
826
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:43,320
Smart too.
827
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:45,320
I mean, you know, in case shit happens, they're like,
828
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:48,680
they're like, Snoop's always rapping about killing people.
829
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:49,240
Well, I guess that's true too.
830
00:55:49,240 --> 00:55:50,440
They use it against you.
831
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:51,080
That's true.
832
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:51,880
He's a murderer.
833
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:57,000
You would hope that it was like witnessing the death of somebody though that kind of fucks with somebody.
834
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:57,480
Maybe.
835
00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:58,040
Maybe.
836
00:55:58,040 --> 00:55:59,560
It could also be protection.
837
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:00,040
You hope?
838
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:01,560
It could be that too.
839
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:09,560
Anyways, probably his like, I'll bet you his attorney was like, number one advice, stop fucking rapping about killing people, you dumbass.
840
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:15,320
All right.
841
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:18,520
So the shooting itself happens August 25th, 1993.
842
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:21,320
November of 93, Doggy Style comes out.
843
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:31,640
This is the first and only album in the history of music ever to debut as a first album at number one.
844
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:32,120
Wow.
845
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:35,160
It debuted at number one on the regular Billboard charts.
846
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:39,160
Number one in rap and R&B also, but number one on the Billboard charts.
847
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:41,960
Well, they say no press is bad press.
848
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:42,440
That's true.
849
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:45,480
It's actually not that funny.
850
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:53,160
I do kind of wonder if the trajectory would have been any different if this hadn't happened because there was so much press around it.
851
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:56,360
I mean, he was a fucking household name at that point, I'm sure.
852
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:59,400
And the chronic and everybody knew he was good.
853
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:00,120
They liked his voice.
854
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:00,840
They wanted more of it.
855
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:02,120
So it's like he was already like.
856
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:04,120
You know how the fucking tabloids are though.
857
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:09,000
You have one person who like just had a bunch of hits, then his neck is broken.
858
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:15,320
You have one person who just had a bunch of hits, then is now on trial for murder, and then their album comes out.
859
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:15,960
Right.
860
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:17,480
Boom, boom, boom.
861
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:20,920
I would probably just go murder someone on purpose just to get that kind of.
862
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:21,640
Get that kind of.
863
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:23,160
No, I'm just kidding.
864
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:24,200
I would never murder anybody.
865
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:24,440
You know what?
866
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:24,760
Maybe.
867
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:25,880
Marcus, cut that.
868
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:29,000
Maybe people would listen to this fucking podcast a little more, Jenny.
869
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:30,520
If you would just take one for the team.
870
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:32,520
And go murder someone.
871
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:33,400
Go murder someone.
872
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:34,440
Who should I murder?
873
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:35,480
Who deserves it?
874
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:39,240
Let's talk about that after the podcast because I've got some ideas.
875
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:41,000
I don't want to murder anyone.
876
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:42,600
How about this?
877
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:44,760
You're not going to get famous without rapping about murder.
878
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:47,640
I would rather have like a sex tape go viral.
879
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:48,600
Oh yeah, that's fine.
880
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:50,040
I would rather have that than murder.
881
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:51,480
Who are you going to make a sex tape with?
882
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:52,440
I could be convinced.
883
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:55,720
I need someone more famous than you.
884
00:57:57,080 --> 00:57:57,560
No offense.
885
00:57:57,560 --> 00:57:58,120
Suge Knight.
886
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:04,520
Oh boy.
887
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:05,640
I'm going to move along.
888
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:06,600
I'm just going to move along.
889
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:13,000
I think yeah, you should definitely move on.
890
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:14,840
Shall I brew some coffee?
891
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:15,340
No.
892
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:22,920
All right, the shooting happens in August of 93.
893
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:32,200
The album comes out November of 93, a year later, September of 94, the MTV Music Awards.
894
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:33,640
I don't know if you guys remember this.
895
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:36,920
I watched a clip and I was like, holy shit, I remember this.
896
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:39,240
Wasn't there a shooting at the MTV Music Awards?
897
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:40,040
Not this one.
898
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:40,840
Not this one.
899
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:42,040
Not 1994.
900
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:52,520
This is the one where Michael Jackson and Elvis's daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, come out and
901
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:58,440
they're like allegedly dating and they like make out on stage, but it's super weird.
902
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:00,360
And Roseanne Barr was hosting.
903
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:04,200
And the lineup of performers is crazy.
904
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:08,440
There's just like, I mean, this was like also kind of the height of MTV, right?
905
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:10,920
It's just like a really big deal.
906
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:15,000
So Snoop Dogg comes out and performs Murder Was the Case.
907
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:16,600
You remember that song?
908
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:17,880
I do remember that song.
909
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:21,320
And it's like there's a whole gospel choir on stage.
910
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:23,480
There's a coffin on stage.
911
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:28,280
Snoop gets like rolled out in a wheelchair and then like miraculously stands up and starts
912
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:30,680
walking and.
913
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:31,960
Is he acquitted of murder at this point?
914
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:32,600
No.
915
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:33,080
OK.
916
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:35,640
He is about to face trial.
917
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:36,520
Oh, so he's not.
918
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:37,080
OK.
919
00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:39,000
He performs the song.
920
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:44,280
At the end of the song, he repeats several times, I'm innocent, I'm innocent, I'm innocent.
921
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:47,880
He leaves the awards show and turns himself in.
922
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:51,080
Like that is it.
923
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:56,920
He like has to, he like makes this arrangement between the DA and his lawyer that he's going
924
00:59:56,920 --> 01:00:02,200
to show up for the MTV Awards before he has to go to jail.
925
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:04,200
Wait, what's he going to jail for?
926
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:06,200
He has to go to jail for the murder?
927
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:06,440
Yes.
928
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:08,680
He doesn't get to be out, but he's already out on bail.
929
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:15,000
He was out with like an ankle monitor or he was in hiding and then went and got the ankle
930
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:17,240
monitor after the MTV Awards.
931
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:18,920
I'm a little confused by the timeline.
932
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:22,920
Oh, were they like building a case against him for like a year?
933
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:23,240
Yes.
934
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:24,600
And they finally decided.
935
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:26,600
Two years before he finally went to trial.
936
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:30,200
I see. So they waited to indict him for like a year and then.
937
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:30,520
Yes.
938
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:32,760
And then right after that, they're like, hey.
939
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:37,400
It was like right before the MTV Awards, they were like, we're arresting you.
940
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:38,200
You have to come in.
941
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:42,120
And his lawyer was like, oh, can you just do this award show real quick?
942
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:43,480
So it was like literally the same night.
943
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:45,880
You just rap about murder really quick.
944
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:49,720
Totally, totally unrelated guys.
945
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:54,040
But, you know, he's just got this little thing.
946
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:55,320
Oh, my God.
947
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:56,680
Prior to getting arrested.
948
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:59,640
When you're rich and famous, they let you do it.
949
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:00,760
I guess they don't care.
950
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:01,400
Yeah, they don't.
951
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:03,080
You can get you get all sorts of special treatment.
952
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:07,560
Yeah, they're like, well, he signed some autographs when he was arrested
953
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:09,240
because we can make that happen.
954
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:15,160
He and Malik, the bodyguard and the other guy in the car are all charged.
955
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:18,600
The other guy ends up all the charges are dropped against the other guy.
956
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:20,120
Snoop and Malik go to trial.
957
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:26,920
They're both on trial for murder, voluntary manslaughter, conspiracy to commit assault
958
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:30,680
because they intentionally went there, allegedly, according to the prosecutor.
959
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:36,600
And Snoop is accused of accessory after the fact because of being the one to drive the car.
960
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:37,080
Right.
961
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:39,560
So did they just drive away?
962
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:41,560
It was like a hit and run, basically?
963
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:42,120
Yes.
964
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:48,840
They drove away and his friends pulled the body away and like jumped it in like a
965
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:53,240
part covered parking so that it wasn't right on the street and hid the gun.
966
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:55,240
Jesus.
967
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:56,440
This whole thing is a mess.
968
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:57,400
It was really bad.
969
01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:04,280
So the jury finds them not guilty on all charges except the voluntary manslaughter charge.
970
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:07,400
They were it was a mistrial.
971
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:10,600
It was like, um, like they couldn't agree.
972
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:14,760
Yeah, it was like nine to three or something in favor of acquittal.
973
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:17,640
And they decided not to retry them.
974
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:22,440
Those charges, if they were in Florida, they wouldn't even brought those charges.
975
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:23,560
Stand your ground.
976
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:24,040
Yeah.
977
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:27,720
Oh, well, but they were out in I thought standard.
978
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:29,560
Oh, it is like on the street, too.
979
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:31,240
I was thinking I was just in your yard.
980
01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:33,800
I think you can just murder anybody anywhere in Florida.
981
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:34,760
It's fine.
982
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:35,720
If you're black.
983
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:37,480
That's where you should go.
984
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:40,040
If you want to make our podcast popular.
985
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:40,600
Yeah.
986
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:43,560
When I need to murder somebody, I'll go to Florida to do it.
987
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:45,560
It's okay.
988
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:46,760
You can kill anybody.
989
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:48,200
You can kill anybody in Florida.
990
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:49,160
You can kill children.
991
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:51,960
You can kill teenagers.
992
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:53,480
You can kill anyone.
993
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:54,360
It's fine.
994
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:55,720
Ron DeSantis says it's okay.
995
01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:58,920
No, that's why he's going to be president.
996
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:04,520
It's okay to kill them, but it's not okay to talk about them getting killed.
997
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:05,020
Yeah.
998
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:09,480
You can't talk about them if they were black and you killed them or gay.
999
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:10,200
Trans.
1000
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:11,640
You can't talk about them if they're trans.
1001
01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:11,880
Okay.
1002
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:13,080
You can only kill them.
1003
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:13,580
Okay.
1004
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:15,640
But you can't talk about it.
1005
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:17,000
You can't.
1006
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:18,840
Can you write a rap song about it?
1007
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:20,040
You can brag about it.
1008
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:22,920
But you can't talk about how their life had meaning.
1009
01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:25,480
Oh, gotcha.
1010
01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:28,120
You can talk about how you felt threatened by their transness.
1011
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:28,760
Yeah, there it is.
1012
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:36,760
We're laughing because it's so ludicrous, not because it's funny.
1013
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:37,260
Yes.
1014
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:39,080
All right.
1015
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:42,760
We're going to skip ahead in the timeline because I mean, whatever, he releases some albums.
1016
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:43,880
He's very successful.
1017
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:45,240
Everything's going great.
1018
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:46,680
That was successful.
1019
01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:51,080
He released like every album ever was successful for like 20 years.
1020
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:52,840
He's just been a smashing success.
1021
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:53,640
Smashing success.
1022
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:57,320
There was a fallout with Suge Knight and he's talked some shit about Suge Knight,
1023
01:03:57,320 --> 01:03:59,960
which I'm like, I don't care how famous you are.
1024
01:03:59,960 --> 01:04:00,840
You probably still shouldn't do that.
1025
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:02,600
Snoop Lion, then he turned to Evol.
1026
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:03,100
Right?
1027
01:04:03,100 --> 01:04:04,280
Yeah, that was so weird.
1028
01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:06,360
He's been like a Rastafarian.
1029
01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:11,480
He was with Nation of Islam for like a minute.
1030
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:11,980
Okay.
1031
01:04:11,980 --> 01:04:14,200
I think maybe there's just too many rules there.
1032
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:15,400
Yeah.
1033
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:16,840
I think he's trying to find himself.
1034
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:20,360
He's got all this in his life, but does he have meaning?
1035
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:21,640
He's back with Jesus now.
1036
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:22,760
He's back in the J Camp?
1037
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:23,400
Yeah, back in...
1038
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:34,440
The only, the other thing that I wanted to talk about for a minute, in 2003, he did a tour.
1039
01:04:34,440 --> 01:04:36,840
By the way, we talked about his wife recently.
1040
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:38,600
He has been married this whole time.
1041
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:39,560
He has three kids.
1042
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:43,720
He has four kids because in between two of his kids, he had another kid
1043
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:49,080
with another woman who, by the way, was also a previous high school girlfriend.
1044
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:52,760
He's like only into girls he was into in high school.
1045
01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:54,120
That's cool.
1046
01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:55,980
Same.
1047
01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:01,880
Did you know Marcus and I met long after he got out of high school?
1048
01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:05,080
Is there something you're trying to tell me?
1049
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:05,880
No, just kidding.
1050
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:09,960
You got some high school girls on the side?
1051
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:11,100
No.
1052
01:05:11,100 --> 01:05:13,340
I don't like the way that sounded.
1053
01:05:14,700 --> 01:05:16,300
They're not high school girls.
1054
01:05:16,300 --> 01:05:18,220
They're girls he went to high school with.
1055
01:05:19,180 --> 01:05:20,860
There's a huge difference.
1056
01:05:20,860 --> 01:05:21,660
Huge difference.
1057
01:05:22,620 --> 01:05:23,100
Okay, you're right.
1058
01:05:23,100 --> 01:05:23,900
Several decades.
1059
01:05:23,900 --> 01:05:25,100
That does sound very gross.
1060
01:05:27,420 --> 01:05:31,580
So his wife is obviously like a very, I don't know if they have like an arrangement
1061
01:05:31,580 --> 01:05:36,540
or if she's just extremely forgiving or what the deal is there, but-
1062
01:05:36,540 --> 01:05:37,020
Money.
1063
01:05:37,020 --> 01:05:39,820
Again, I think I said earlier in the episode, but I think money helps.
1064
01:05:39,820 --> 01:05:40,620
With a lot of things.
1065
01:05:40,620 --> 01:05:42,620
I mean, you can get divorced and still have money.
1066
01:05:42,620 --> 01:05:43,980
She could still have plenty of money.
1067
01:05:43,980 --> 01:05:48,140
Yeah, but I'm saying like, but you know, you have to do the math and it's like,
1068
01:05:48,140 --> 01:05:49,740
do we get separated and then we have this?
1069
01:05:49,740 --> 01:05:51,420
And it's like she loves him, you know?
1070
01:05:51,420 --> 01:05:51,920
Right.
1071
01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:52,460
She loves him.
1072
01:05:52,460 --> 01:05:52,940
Exactly.
1073
01:05:52,940 --> 01:05:54,780
So at the end of the day, you're like, ah, we'll just stay together.
1074
01:05:54,780 --> 01:05:56,540
Hey, Han, I want to hear about their relationship.
1075
01:05:56,540 --> 01:05:57,020
Yeah.
1076
01:05:57,020 --> 01:06:03,580
Well, this is actually about like something so far outside their relationship that it's
1077
01:06:03,580 --> 01:06:05,820
like unbelievable that he got away with this.
1078
01:06:05,820 --> 01:06:11,420
So when he was a little boy, he always dreamed of being a pimp.
1079
01:06:11,420 --> 01:06:11,920
Oh.
1080
01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:15,420
But because he like saw a movie or something.
1081
01:06:15,420 --> 01:06:15,920
Right.
1082
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:22,620
So in 2003, he goes on a tour and decides, this is my big chance.
1083
01:06:22,620 --> 01:06:25,020
I'm going to be a pimp finally.
1084
01:06:25,020 --> 01:06:30,220
So he gets like a bunch of prostitutes and gets them a separate bus.
1085
01:06:30,220 --> 01:06:31,420
Wait, in 2003.
1086
01:06:31,420 --> 01:06:34,620
So this is like 10 years after he's been famous.
1087
01:06:34,620 --> 01:06:36,220
Yes.
1088
01:06:36,220 --> 01:06:36,720
OK.
1089
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:37,220
Yes.
1090
01:06:37,220 --> 01:06:43,420
But guys, I'd like to remind you his lesson learned, a pimpin' ain't easy.
1091
01:06:43,420 --> 01:06:45,020
No, he loved it actually.
1092
01:06:45,020 --> 01:06:45,620
Oh, OK.
1093
01:06:45,620 --> 01:06:47,220
He was a natural, he says.
1094
01:06:47,220 --> 01:06:48,220
Oh.
1095
01:06:48,220 --> 01:06:52,520
OK, let's put this in a business perspective.
1096
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:55,220
Like, let's take Las Vegas, for example.
1097
01:06:55,220 --> 01:06:57,620
They have like places.
1098
01:06:57,620 --> 01:07:00,620
No, actually, it is completely illegal in Las Vegas.
1099
01:07:00,620 --> 01:07:01,620
It's legal in Nevada.
1100
01:07:01,620 --> 01:07:02,920
OK, Nevada, Nevada.
1101
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:06,920
So like the state of Nevada, that's what I meant to say.
1102
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:10,720
You know, like you may be a person who says,
1103
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:15,920
I would like to be a middleman for sex.
1104
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:19,220
And there are women who want to make money.
1105
01:07:19,220 --> 01:07:22,620
And there are men who want to pay them.
1106
01:07:22,620 --> 01:07:25,020
And maybe like, well, let's talk about two.
1107
01:07:25,020 --> 01:07:30,820
Like, I think pimps get a bad rap because so many of them
1108
01:07:30,820 --> 01:07:34,620
are about the control and abuse of women.
1109
01:07:34,620 --> 01:07:36,920
Now, if somebody comes in and is like,
1110
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:43,020
I would like to be an ethical middle person of sexual transaction.
1111
01:07:43,020 --> 01:07:46,420
Right, between two consenting adults and you're just looking for a demographic.
1112
01:07:46,420 --> 01:07:47,820
You're just a facilitator.
1113
01:07:47,820 --> 01:07:48,620
That's right.
1114
01:07:48,620 --> 01:07:49,220
Exactly.
1115
01:07:49,220 --> 01:07:51,220
It's like a business decision.
1116
01:07:51,220 --> 01:07:53,020
It's still fucking weird.
1117
01:07:53,020 --> 01:07:58,020
It's not on me, on what people want to post on my website.
1118
01:07:58,020 --> 01:08:01,420
It's just I'm facilitating the transaction,
1119
01:08:01,420 --> 01:08:03,420
but I don't care what they're saying to each other.
1120
01:08:03,420 --> 01:08:04,420
Well, I mean, it does.
1121
01:08:04,420 --> 01:08:07,220
It's like, I think one of the jobs of a pimp
1122
01:08:07,220 --> 01:08:14,820
is to protect the women from being like from men.
1123
01:08:14,820 --> 01:08:15,820
Listen, stop.
1124
01:08:15,820 --> 01:08:19,820
From predatory men and predatory clients.
1125
01:08:19,820 --> 01:08:23,620
So if somebody can be an ethical protector of women
1126
01:08:23,620 --> 01:08:28,020
who would like to make money in this fashion,
1127
01:08:28,020 --> 01:08:32,620
then I think there is a place where this is OK.
1128
01:08:32,620 --> 01:08:33,120
OK.
1129
01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:33,620
I think that the-
1130
01:08:33,620 --> 01:08:34,520
You're Chinese pro pimp.
1131
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:35,020
No, I'm-
1132
01:08:35,020 --> 01:08:35,920
I am-
1133
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:36,620
When I'm pro-
1134
01:08:36,620 --> 01:08:37,620
Put that on a t-shirt.
1135
01:08:37,620 --> 01:08:38,120
Yeah.
1136
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:42,620
I would say what I am is pro women making money in a way
1137
01:08:42,620 --> 01:08:44,820
that they feel comfortable making money.
1138
01:08:44,820 --> 01:08:48,020
And I am pro women doing it in a way that is safe
1139
01:08:48,020 --> 01:08:49,620
and that they are protected.
1140
01:08:49,620 --> 01:08:50,420
It's like a manager.
1141
01:08:50,420 --> 01:08:50,920
I am not-
1142
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:51,620
Is that really like-
1143
01:08:51,620 --> 01:08:57,220
I am not pro women being taken advantage of or abused
1144
01:08:57,220 --> 01:09:01,820
or harmed, which tends to happen a lot in a pimp sex worker
1145
01:09:01,820 --> 01:09:02,820
situation.
1146
01:09:02,820 --> 01:09:03,320
Right.
1147
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:03,820
OK.
1148
01:09:03,820 --> 01:09:04,620
So that being said-
1149
01:09:04,620 --> 01:09:07,120
So Snoop Dogg offered 401k or benefits or-
1150
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:11,020
If he's offering a 401k or benefits, I'm about it.
1151
01:09:11,020 --> 01:09:14,820
I mean, with 20 workers, you could get a good group plan.
1152
01:09:14,820 --> 01:09:17,120
I know.
1153
01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:19,420
I think they had up to 10 at one time.
1154
01:09:19,420 --> 01:09:20,420
OK.
1155
01:09:20,420 --> 01:09:24,720
They had their own tour bus and they had their own hotel rooms
1156
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:27,020
next to his suite.
1157
01:09:27,020 --> 01:09:31,420
And this is not like a street prostitute type situation.
1158
01:09:31,420 --> 01:09:34,420
This was like a high end type situation.
1159
01:09:34,420 --> 01:09:34,920
Oh, wait.
1160
01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:36,220
Can I say one thing?
1161
01:09:36,220 --> 01:09:40,120
I do believe that the PC term is sex worker these days,
1162
01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:40,820
not prostitute.
1163
01:09:40,820 --> 01:09:43,320
Oh, I got in trouble for this on another episode.
1164
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:44,320
You're right.
1165
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:49,320
We are all pro sex worker on this podcast, right?
1166
01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:50,620
Like I'm-
1167
01:09:50,620 --> 01:09:54,420
Actually, yeah, I am pro sex worker.
1168
01:09:54,420 --> 01:09:54,920
High four?
1169
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:56,120
Or did you just high four me?
1170
01:09:56,120 --> 01:09:59,620
I did high four you.
1171
01:09:59,620 --> 01:10:00,120
Anyway-
1172
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:01,120
It's a high 4.5.
1173
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:02,620
So Snoop-a-loop.
1174
01:10:02,620 --> 01:10:04,620
Snoop-a-loop.
1175
01:10:04,620 --> 01:10:05,820
No, Snoop Lion.
1176
01:10:05,820 --> 01:10:07,120
Snoop Lion's-
1177
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:08,120
Snoop Lion's-
1178
01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:09,820
Snoop D-O-double G.
1179
01:10:09,820 --> 01:10:11,120
OK, I want to hear about him being-
1180
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:12,320
Mystery agent service.
1181
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:13,920
I would like to hear about him being
1182
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:17,220
a facilitator of sexual goods.
1183
01:10:17,220 --> 01:10:23,020
So what would happen is people, like famous athletes,
1184
01:10:23,020 --> 01:10:26,620
professional athletes and celebrities would come to his
1185
01:10:26,620 --> 01:10:30,520
shows and they'd come backstage and he'd be like, hey,
1186
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:32,320
why don't you come back to the hotel?
1187
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:35,020
I've got a girl for you.
1188
01:10:35,020 --> 01:10:38,720
And he said that he was bringing in more money
1189
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:43,420
through these women than he was through the concerts
1190
01:10:43,420 --> 01:10:44,620
that he was being paid to do.
1191
01:10:44,620 --> 01:10:47,520
But he didn't take any money from the women at all.
1192
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:50,620
He was just doing it for fun and he let them keep all the money.
1193
01:10:50,620 --> 01:10:51,820
Wow.
1194
01:10:51,820 --> 01:10:53,220
What did I just say?
1195
01:10:53,220 --> 01:10:54,120
Let's get pimped.
1196
01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:55,820
That's what he told Rolling Stone Magazine.
1197
01:10:55,820 --> 01:10:59,520
If I was going to be a sex worker-
1198
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:00,520
I'd work for Snoop.
1199
01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:01,920
I mean, honestly.
1200
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:03,320
I mean, OK.
1201
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:07,720
I mean, if I'm his wife and he's like, hey, look, I got these guys.
1202
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:11,520
I know they want to pay money and I know there's these women
1203
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:15,820
that I could hook them up, are you cool with me doing this?
1204
01:11:15,820 --> 01:11:18,320
If Marcus came to me and said that, I'd probably be like,
1205
01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:20,420
I don't really feel comfortable with this.
1206
01:11:20,420 --> 01:11:22,520
But if I was cool, like his wife-
1207
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:24,420
Because I thought Jenny was about to be like, yeah, totally.
1208
01:11:24,420 --> 01:11:29,020
And I'm like, OK, I think I've just been given freedom
1209
01:11:29,020 --> 01:11:30,320
to do a new business venture.
1210
01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:32,820
There comes my break room at the warehouse.
1211
01:11:32,820 --> 01:11:33,820
So much for that couch.
1212
01:11:33,820 --> 01:11:37,320
Actually, Steph, we've got something to ask you.
1213
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:39,220
We're adding a new role.
1214
01:11:39,220 --> 01:11:40,720
Be like a car wash.
1215
01:11:40,720 --> 01:11:42,220
Be like a 10 minute turn.
1216
01:11:42,220 --> 01:11:44,220
Would you like to-
1217
01:11:44,220 --> 01:11:47,220
We're going to offer it to our current employee first.
1218
01:11:47,220 --> 01:11:50,820
Wait, so I'm head of HR and I'm a sex worker in the break room.
1219
01:11:50,820 --> 01:11:52,020
Is that what's happening now?
1220
01:11:52,020 --> 01:11:52,520
Yes.
1221
01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:55,520
You want to shall we brew some coffee?
1222
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:57,120
Anyways.
1223
01:11:57,120 --> 01:11:59,020
No.
1224
01:11:59,020 --> 01:12:01,920
I am so not even close to the end of this episode.
1225
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:02,420
Sorry, Marcus.
1226
01:12:02,420 --> 01:12:04,320
Before we started recording, Marcus was like,
1227
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:08,220
maybe you could do less research in the future.
1228
01:12:08,220 --> 01:12:11,420
And I'm starting to understand why he feels that way.
1229
01:12:11,420 --> 01:12:13,620
And I said I would try to stop talking.
1230
01:12:13,620 --> 01:12:14,420
What's our time?
1231
01:12:14,420 --> 01:12:15,620
Are we at three hours yet?
1232
01:12:15,620 --> 01:12:17,020
We are one hour and 20 minutes.
1233
01:12:17,020 --> 01:12:17,620
Oh, that's it?
1234
01:12:17,620 --> 01:12:18,220
Good.
1235
01:12:18,220 --> 01:12:18,720
OK.
1236
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:20,420
20 minutes time.
1237
01:12:20,420 --> 01:12:21,020
That's not bad.
1238
01:12:21,020 --> 01:12:23,120
So we've got 20 minutes to do the tasting.
1239
01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:24,820
I'm just about done with Snoop Dogg.
1240
01:12:24,820 --> 01:12:28,220
So in addition to being a rapper and a pimp,
1241
01:12:28,220 --> 01:12:31,620
here are some of his other business ventures,
1242
01:12:31,620 --> 01:12:34,420
in addition to the coffee company also.
1243
01:12:34,420 --> 01:12:35,220
Acting.
1244
01:12:35,220 --> 01:12:36,020
Natch.
1245
01:12:36,020 --> 01:12:37,620
Lots of TVs, lots of movies.
1246
01:12:37,620 --> 01:12:39,320
His reality show with his family.
1247
01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:42,320
Plus Martha Stewart potluck dinner party.
1248
01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:45,020
He's done cameos everywhere.
1249
01:12:45,020 --> 01:12:47,820
Everybody's had a Snoop Dogg cameo.
1250
01:12:47,820 --> 01:12:49,420
Why hasn't he been here?
1251
01:12:49,420 --> 01:12:51,620
I mean, we've got an empty chair for him.
1252
01:12:51,620 --> 01:12:54,520
Snoop, come on for a follow up.
1253
01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:55,620
He wrote a cookbook.
1254
01:12:55,620 --> 01:12:57,220
He produced a porn film.
1255
01:12:57,220 --> 01:12:58,320
I own the cookbook.
1256
01:12:58,320 --> 01:12:58,820
You do?
1257
01:12:58,820 --> 01:12:59,320
I do.
1258
01:12:59,320 --> 01:12:59,820
I bought it.
1259
01:12:59,820 --> 01:13:00,320
He does.
1260
01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:02,120
I got it from Marcus for a gift.
1261
01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:02,620
Oh my god.
1262
01:13:02,620 --> 01:13:04,620
We should cook a recipe for a love it or leave it.
1263
01:13:04,620 --> 01:13:05,920
That's a great idea.
1264
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:07,820
I'm really sad that I forgot.
1265
01:13:07,820 --> 01:13:10,120
I thought of it two weeks ago and then completely forgot
1266
01:13:10,120 --> 01:13:13,120
to pick up a bottle of his wine for a love it or leave it
1267
01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:13,620
episode.
1268
01:13:13,620 --> 01:13:14,420
Wow, shit.
1269
01:13:14,420 --> 01:13:18,520
He's always been a fan of professional wrestling.
1270
01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:22,620
He's now heavily involved with the WWE, WrestleMania.
1271
01:13:22,620 --> 01:13:25,820
He was like a, what do you call it?
1272
01:13:25,820 --> 01:13:26,520
An announcer.
1273
01:13:26,520 --> 01:13:27,320
An announcer.
1274
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:27,820
Yeah.
1275
01:13:27,820 --> 01:13:28,320
Yeah.
1276
01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:30,120
And then one time he was announcing
1277
01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:33,220
and something went wrong and he had to just jump right
1278
01:13:33,220 --> 01:13:35,620
into the ring and beat a guy up and he did.
1279
01:13:35,620 --> 01:13:36,520
That's so cool.
1280
01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:39,320
Isn't he amazing?
1281
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:41,820
We talked before the episode about how
1282
01:13:41,820 --> 01:13:44,320
he narrated some Planet Earth episodes,
1283
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:46,820
Plizanet Earth on the Jimmy Kimmel show.
1284
01:13:46,820 --> 01:13:48,980
And there was a change.org petition
1285
01:13:48,980 --> 01:13:52,220
to get him to narrate all of the Planet Earths from now on
1286
01:13:52,220 --> 01:13:54,920
because he's so awesome.
1287
01:13:54,920 --> 01:13:57,220
He's super into NFTs.
1288
01:13:57,220 --> 01:13:57,820
Oh, OK.
1289
01:13:57,820 --> 01:13:59,820
Super into NFTs.
1290
01:13:59,820 --> 01:14:00,820
It's a crypto.
1291
01:14:00,820 --> 01:14:02,220
It's like a visual crypto.
1292
01:14:02,220 --> 01:14:03,220
Yeah.
1293
01:14:03,220 --> 01:14:07,020
Like where you would sell art online
1294
01:14:07,020 --> 01:14:08,820
and it was supposedly worth something.
1295
01:14:08,820 --> 01:14:09,320
Yeah.
1296
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:10,720
It doesn't make any sense to me.
1297
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:13,020
I know what it is, but it makes no sense to me.
1298
01:14:13,020 --> 01:14:16,320
He's got some kind of Call of Duty game appearance.
1299
01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:17,720
I don't know anything about that.
1300
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:19,120
He's got an app.
1301
01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:20,420
He's invested in Reddit.
1302
01:14:20,420 --> 01:14:22,320
He's got a weed delivery startup.
1303
01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:24,120
He's got a digital media business,
1304
01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:27,520
a brand of cannabis products, an e-sports league.
1305
01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:32,220
And he's part owner of the Ottawa Senators hockey team.
1306
01:14:32,220 --> 01:14:33,520
That's super fucking random.
1307
01:14:36,220 --> 01:14:37,820
Canadian.
1308
01:14:37,820 --> 01:14:41,220
He also owns Death Row Records, like owns it outright.
1309
01:14:41,220 --> 01:14:42,520
You know what?
1310
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:45,820
We have had a lot of people on this podcast
1311
01:14:45,820 --> 01:14:48,920
that are like the type of guy who's like, I want it,
1312
01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:51,420
and he goes out and gets it.
1313
01:14:51,420 --> 01:14:54,720
For example, La Colom guy.
1314
01:14:54,720 --> 01:14:58,320
I think Snoop Dogg fucking takes it,
1315
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:01,760
takes like number one spot for like dude who wants it
1316
01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:02,820
and does it.
1317
01:15:02,820 --> 01:15:06,020
And he does it in such like a laid back, mellow way.
1318
01:15:06,020 --> 01:15:08,320
But he's fucking goes, you know?
1319
01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:10,720
I mean, you've got to think, his day,
1320
01:15:10,720 --> 01:15:13,060
just checking up on all of those businesses
1321
01:15:13,060 --> 01:15:15,620
and keeping track and getting reports and shit,
1322
01:15:15,620 --> 01:15:18,020
he's going to spend at least 12 hours a day just
1323
01:15:18,020 --> 01:15:19,620
being a businessman.
1324
01:15:19,620 --> 01:15:21,960
He probably works like crazy.
1325
01:15:21,960 --> 01:15:24,260
You would think he has a laid back lifestyle,
1326
01:15:24,260 --> 01:15:26,420
but like he's probably constantly working.
1327
01:15:26,420 --> 01:15:28,060
He probably doesn't even work, man.
1328
01:15:28,060 --> 01:15:30,220
He probably just gets the checks at the end of the day.
1329
01:15:30,220 --> 01:15:32,220
I think he's probably definitely an investor,
1330
01:15:32,220 --> 01:15:33,960
but I think like there's going to be reports
1331
01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:36,220
that you have to go over and you have to be checking up on.
1332
01:15:36,220 --> 01:15:37,060
But he's not running the companies.
1333
01:15:37,060 --> 01:15:37,660
I know.
1334
01:15:37,660 --> 01:15:39,560
He's just getting the checks and the reports.
1335
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:42,060
You guys, he smokes 80 blunts a day.
1336
01:15:42,060 --> 01:15:43,060
Right.
1337
01:15:43,060 --> 01:15:44,460
How much work can he possibly do?
1338
01:15:44,460 --> 01:15:45,420
That's what I'm saying.
1339
01:15:45,420 --> 01:15:46,260
He just shows up.
1340
01:15:46,260 --> 01:15:48,260
80.
1341
01:15:48,260 --> 01:15:52,120
I heard that Snoop Dogg has a professional on staff blunt
1342
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:52,620
roller.
1343
01:15:52,620 --> 01:15:53,860
Yes, he does.
1344
01:15:53,860 --> 01:15:55,220
He's going to get lung cancer.
1345
01:15:55,220 --> 01:15:57,560
He's going to slow down on that.
1346
01:15:57,560 --> 01:16:00,260
Maybe he'll try some addables, mix things up.
1347
01:16:00,260 --> 01:16:02,560
He really needs to think about his lung health.
1348
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:05,620
A professional on staff roller of blunts.
1349
01:16:05,620 --> 01:16:08,820
Well, if I were Snoop Dogg and I smoked as much weed as he did,
1350
01:16:08,820 --> 01:16:10,960
I would have a professional rolling for me too.
1351
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:11,460
Of course.
1352
01:16:11,460 --> 01:16:12,560
I mean, of course.
1353
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:14,980
Look, he doesn't have a lot of time.
1354
01:16:14,980 --> 01:16:16,380
There's only 24 hours in the day.
1355
01:16:16,380 --> 01:16:19,620
I promise you, he might be an investor in all of these things,
1356
01:16:19,620 --> 01:16:21,480
but he's not a dumb ass.
1357
01:16:21,480 --> 01:16:25,180
So I'm pretty sure that he's definitely somehow invested
1358
01:16:25,180 --> 01:16:26,960
and definitely takes this shit seriously
1359
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:29,300
despite his public persona.
1360
01:16:29,300 --> 01:16:31,780
Because you don't get involved in this many businesses,
1361
01:16:31,780 --> 01:16:33,540
and you don't get involved in this much shit
1362
01:16:33,540 --> 01:16:34,940
by just being a slacker.
1363
01:16:34,940 --> 01:16:35,440
Yeah.
1364
01:16:35,440 --> 01:16:36,060
You know?
1365
01:16:36,060 --> 01:16:38,900
It's like, I think, yeah.
1366
01:16:38,900 --> 01:16:40,380
You don't do all this.
1367
01:16:40,380 --> 01:16:41,260
Yeah.
1368
01:16:41,260 --> 01:16:42,880
The last thing I have to say about him
1369
01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:45,900
is just about his charitable works,
1370
01:16:45,900 --> 01:16:47,380
which he doesn't talk about.
1371
01:16:47,380 --> 01:16:47,900
He doesn't.
1372
01:16:47,900 --> 01:16:48,380
Oh, god.
1373
01:16:48,380 --> 01:16:49,380
He's super quiet about it.
1374
01:16:49,380 --> 01:16:49,940
You set me up.
1375
01:16:49,940 --> 01:16:51,340
I thought you were going to be like,
1376
01:16:51,340 --> 01:16:52,980
his charitable works, which he doesn't do.
1377
01:16:52,980 --> 01:16:53,740
He doesn't do that.
1378
01:16:53,740 --> 01:16:54,060
No.
1379
01:16:54,060 --> 01:16:55,220
He doesn't believe in charity.
1380
01:16:55,220 --> 01:16:57,300
Pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
1381
01:16:57,300 --> 01:17:03,100
He just like all those other guys that we've had on these
1382
01:17:03,100 --> 01:17:05,260
podcasts, the guys who do it all.
1383
01:17:07,940 --> 01:17:12,500
He feels like if he talks about his charitable donations,
1384
01:17:12,500 --> 01:17:14,100
then he's looking for attention.
1385
01:17:14,100 --> 01:17:15,620
So he doesn't like to talk about it.
1386
01:17:15,620 --> 01:17:18,020
He gives a bunch of money to children's hospitals.
1387
01:17:18,020 --> 01:17:19,360
That's like the number one thing.
1388
01:17:19,360 --> 01:17:21,060
Well, that's the number two thing.
1389
01:17:21,060 --> 01:17:24,540
The number one thing is his youth football league.
1390
01:17:24,540 --> 01:17:28,700
He decided in 2005, as soon as he was done pimping,
1391
01:17:28,700 --> 01:17:32,340
he was like, I should do something for the kids now.
1392
01:17:32,340 --> 01:17:34,420
So he started a youth football league
1393
01:17:34,420 --> 01:17:37,540
for underprivileged youth in LA.
1394
01:17:37,540 --> 01:17:39,660
And at first, he just wanted to give money to it
1395
01:17:39,660 --> 01:17:42,180
and not participate because he didn't want to.
1396
01:17:42,180 --> 01:17:43,580
He feels like he's looking.
1397
01:17:43,580 --> 01:17:46,340
He doesn't want people to think he's looking for attention.
1398
01:17:46,340 --> 01:17:49,220
But when he showed up to the games and the practices
1399
01:17:49,220 --> 01:17:51,660
and the kids were so excited to meet him
1400
01:17:51,660 --> 01:17:53,420
and wanted photos with him and everything,
1401
01:17:53,420 --> 01:17:56,340
and he realized there was actually a benefit
1402
01:17:56,340 --> 01:17:59,580
to putting his face with this club.
1403
01:17:59,580 --> 01:18:01,180
This is so adorable.
1404
01:18:01,180 --> 01:18:05,780
This is now the largest youth football league in California.
1405
01:18:05,780 --> 01:18:08,700
And there's also a special needs division
1406
01:18:08,700 --> 01:18:12,860
for kids with physical, mental, and developmental disabilities.
1407
01:18:12,860 --> 01:18:16,060
50 teams, 1,500 players.
1408
01:18:16,060 --> 01:18:17,860
It's enormous.
1409
01:18:17,860 --> 01:18:18,860
That's crazy.
1410
01:18:18,860 --> 01:18:21,220
He's had something like 20 or 30 kids
1411
01:18:21,220 --> 01:18:26,100
go on to professional football players.
1412
01:18:26,100 --> 01:18:27,900
Yeah.
1413
01:18:27,900 --> 01:18:31,020
He also gives away 3,000 turkeys every Thanksgiving.
1414
01:18:31,020 --> 01:18:32,500
Aw.
1415
01:18:32,500 --> 01:18:32,980
I don't know.
1416
01:18:32,980 --> 01:18:34,220
I just thought that was cute.
1417
01:18:34,220 --> 01:18:35,340
That's so cute.
1418
01:18:35,340 --> 01:18:37,980
Through another charity, maybe he is?
1419
01:18:37,980 --> 01:18:40,140
Or he just out of the trunk of his car?
1420
01:18:40,140 --> 01:18:41,260
I'm not sure.
1421
01:18:41,260 --> 01:18:42,300
Crazy.
1422
01:18:42,300 --> 01:18:44,940
Did you enjoy getting a turkey from Montes Coffee?
1423
01:18:44,940 --> 01:18:46,300
Or was that weird?
1424
01:18:46,300 --> 01:18:48,820
Marcus and I wanted to bring back the holiday turkey
1425
01:18:48,820 --> 01:18:50,780
from the 50s.
1426
01:18:50,780 --> 01:18:52,340
You didn't actually buy a turkey.
1427
01:18:52,340 --> 01:18:53,700
I gave her a turkey one year.
1428
01:18:53,700 --> 01:18:56,060
And Theresa, they both got turkey.
1429
01:18:56,060 --> 01:18:57,620
Me and Theresa both got turkeys.
1430
01:18:57,620 --> 01:18:59,820
And me and Theresa both texted each other and were like,
1431
01:18:59,820 --> 01:19:03,900
what the fuck are we going to do with this turkey?
1432
01:19:03,900 --> 01:19:05,180
But we both cooked turkeys.
1433
01:19:05,180 --> 01:19:06,500
And they were delicious.
1434
01:19:06,500 --> 01:19:08,100
Would you like a turkey again?
1435
01:19:08,100 --> 01:19:08,600
No.
1436
01:19:11,340 --> 01:19:14,100
Yeah, that was the year we were like, let's get everyone a turkey.
1437
01:19:14,100 --> 01:19:16,300
I love it in theory.
1438
01:19:16,300 --> 01:19:17,540
I know it's a great idea.
1439
01:19:17,540 --> 01:19:19,980
But then I was like, what do you do with the turkey?
1440
01:19:19,980 --> 01:19:22,620
I was like, in fairness, I was like, whatever we spent.
1441
01:19:22,620 --> 01:19:24,780
I would just do that as a gift card.
1442
01:19:24,780 --> 01:19:26,780
I feel like that's way more useful.
1443
01:19:26,780 --> 01:19:27,580
Just give me $30.
1444
01:19:27,580 --> 01:19:29,780
Yeah, but there's something really fun about driving out
1445
01:19:29,780 --> 01:19:32,620
to the turkey farm and buying a turkey and then giving it away.
1446
01:19:32,620 --> 01:19:33,860
So who is this for?
1447
01:19:33,860 --> 01:19:36,500
Is it for the person giving or is it for the person receiving?
1448
01:19:36,500 --> 01:19:37,660
It's for me.
1449
01:19:37,660 --> 01:19:38,380
It's for me.
1450
01:19:38,380 --> 01:19:40,180
So I can drive to the turkey farm.
1451
01:19:40,180 --> 01:19:42,700
This is not for you, Steph.
1452
01:19:42,700 --> 01:19:45,980
Enjoy my turkey.
1453
01:19:45,980 --> 01:19:48,180
You could just go buy yourself a turkey.
1454
01:19:48,180 --> 01:19:50,100
I think we did buy ourselves a turkey too.
1455
01:19:50,100 --> 01:19:51,100
Right.
1456
01:19:51,100 --> 01:19:53,300
But that box, it's so vintage.
1457
01:19:53,300 --> 01:19:54,420
It felt so 50s.
1458
01:19:54,420 --> 01:19:55,020
You had a hoca.
1459
01:19:55,020 --> 01:19:56,540
Everything about it was 1950s.
1460
01:19:56,540 --> 01:19:57,780
A hoca, fucking real turkey man.
1461
01:19:57,780 --> 01:20:00,020
I feel like we might still have that box in our basement
1462
01:20:00,020 --> 01:20:01,740
somewhere holding some important papers.
1463
01:20:01,740 --> 01:20:03,940
Can I tell you, my mom?
1464
01:20:03,940 --> 01:20:06,220
My mom said my grandma worked at a bank,
1465
01:20:06,220 --> 01:20:09,060
and they gave out hoca turkeys back when my grandma worked
1466
01:20:09,060 --> 01:20:10,060
there.
1467
01:20:10,060 --> 01:20:14,100
So this tradition, it started, and it's not stopping.
1468
01:20:14,100 --> 01:20:15,380
I've only done it once.
1469
01:20:15,380 --> 01:20:16,060
Yeah.
1470
01:20:16,060 --> 01:20:16,780
Last year, right?
1471
01:20:16,780 --> 01:20:18,260
No, this was like two years ago.
1472
01:20:18,260 --> 01:20:18,900
We didn't do it last year.
1473
01:20:18,900 --> 01:20:20,420
What about a honey-baked ham that I just
1474
01:20:20,420 --> 01:20:22,700
have to heat up for 15 minutes and don't actually
1475
01:20:22,700 --> 01:20:24,020
have to cook for four hours?
1476
01:20:24,020 --> 01:20:25,540
I'll push for a gift card.
1477
01:20:25,540 --> 01:20:27,300
I think I'll push for a gift card this year.
1478
01:20:27,300 --> 01:20:28,740
What about just a bottle of whiskey?
1479
01:20:28,740 --> 01:20:29,620
A bottle of whiskey.
1480
01:20:29,620 --> 01:20:30,860
A bottle.
1481
01:20:30,860 --> 01:20:32,660
No, it has to be fucking wholesome.
1482
01:20:32,660 --> 01:20:33,180
I'm sorry.
1483
01:20:33,180 --> 01:20:34,540
What if you put a bottle of whiskey
1484
01:20:34,540 --> 01:20:37,620
inside a hoca turkey box?
1485
01:20:37,620 --> 01:20:40,660
I thought you were going to say inside a hoca turkey.
1486
01:20:40,660 --> 01:20:42,300
How about putting it inside a turkey?
1487
01:20:42,300 --> 01:20:48,900
Churwiskin or whatever.
1488
01:20:48,900 --> 01:20:51,100
All right, Marcus, I don't know what our time is,
1489
01:20:51,100 --> 01:20:54,300
but I only want to talk about the actual coffee company
1490
01:20:54,300 --> 01:20:56,300
for five minutes, because Snoop is obviously
1491
01:20:56,300 --> 01:20:57,700
not roasting fucking coffee.
1492
01:20:57,700 --> 01:20:59,060
I'd like to see him try.
1493
01:20:59,060 --> 01:21:00,660
So tell me about this coffee company.
1494
01:21:00,660 --> 01:21:03,460
So when you look at the website for this Indo coffee,
1495
01:21:03,460 --> 01:21:08,180
it looks very like Sexy Lifestyle brand.
1496
01:21:08,180 --> 01:21:11,100
There's lots of girls in bikinis with the Indo
1497
01:21:11,100 --> 01:21:13,380
written across their chest and stuff like that.
1498
01:21:13,380 --> 01:21:14,060
Cool.
1499
01:21:14,060 --> 01:21:17,900
Fuel the Dream is the tagline for Indo coffee.
1500
01:21:17,900 --> 01:21:20,700
I expected more from you, Snoop Dogg.
1501
01:21:20,700 --> 01:21:24,260
But they do mention that the roaster is a guy named
1502
01:21:24,260 --> 01:21:28,060
Michael Riadi, who's an Indonesian coffee entrepreneur.
1503
01:21:28,060 --> 01:21:33,180
So I looked up his deal, thinking maybe I'd
1504
01:21:33,180 --> 01:21:36,100
find a really legit coffee roaster.
1505
01:21:36,100 --> 01:21:37,020
They're on a yacht.
1506
01:21:37,020 --> 01:21:38,220
I'm on his website right now.
1507
01:21:38,220 --> 01:21:40,180
Yeah, of course they're on a yacht.
1508
01:21:40,180 --> 01:21:44,940
Yeah, with a DJ, lots of bikinis and dancing, mostly women.
1509
01:21:44,940 --> 01:21:47,380
I didn't know women were into coffee.
1510
01:21:47,380 --> 01:21:49,620
Actually, all women on this boat.
1511
01:21:49,620 --> 01:21:52,700
So they know the power of ownership,
1512
01:21:52,700 --> 01:21:54,340
according to the website.
1513
01:21:54,340 --> 01:21:58,540
All right, so I look up this Michael Riadi guy.
1514
01:21:58,540 --> 01:22:02,940
He has another coffee company that's called Tenterra Coffee.
1515
01:22:02,940 --> 01:22:06,060
This is a surf and coffee roasting company,
1516
01:22:06,060 --> 01:22:09,900
because apparently Michael Riadi is super into surfing.
1517
01:22:09,900 --> 01:22:12,860
1% of the proceeds from this company
1518
01:22:12,860 --> 01:22:16,980
go to buy surfboards for underprivileged kids,
1519
01:22:16,980 --> 01:22:20,460
which is nice, I guess.
1520
01:22:20,460 --> 01:22:23,540
Yeah, I'm sure they still haven't made enough money
1521
01:22:23,540 --> 01:22:26,900
to fucking give one surfboard.
1522
01:22:26,900 --> 01:22:29,260
Who is the underprivileged kid who's like,
1523
01:22:29,260 --> 01:22:31,380
I don't care about having food or shoes
1524
01:22:31,380 --> 01:22:33,260
if only I had a surfboard?
1525
01:22:33,260 --> 01:22:34,500
I mean, maybe.
1526
01:22:34,500 --> 01:22:35,340
It's LA.
1527
01:22:35,340 --> 01:22:36,180
I don't know.
1528
01:22:36,180 --> 01:22:36,740
It's LA.
1529
01:22:36,740 --> 01:22:37,820
You know what?
1530
01:22:37,820 --> 01:22:40,100
We do not live in California.
1531
01:22:40,100 --> 01:22:43,260
Thank God Michael Riadi is there for those kids.
1532
01:22:43,260 --> 01:22:45,580
Maybe he was a poor kid who wanted a surfboard.
1533
01:22:45,580 --> 01:22:46,300
Yeah.
1534
01:22:46,300 --> 01:22:47,660
Maybe he was a poor kid.
1535
01:22:47,660 --> 01:22:48,180
There it is.
1536
01:22:48,180 --> 01:22:49,340
Stick with me.
1537
01:22:49,340 --> 01:22:53,180
So he talks about he was born in Jakarta.
1538
01:22:53,180 --> 01:22:58,580
He spends his time between LA and Bali, Indonesia.
1539
01:22:58,580 --> 01:23:00,900
He comes from a family of entrepreneurs,
1540
01:23:00,900 --> 01:23:03,220
and they have worked so hard for what they have.
1541
01:23:03,220 --> 01:23:06,500
And his family constantly talks about business, apparently.
1542
01:23:06,500 --> 01:23:08,460
When he was a little kid at the dinner table,
1543
01:23:08,460 --> 01:23:10,500
they were just constantly talking about business.
1544
01:23:10,500 --> 01:23:14,020
He learned everything from his family, his grandpa especially.
1545
01:23:14,020 --> 01:23:17,180
He was 22 years old, started up a little bike shop.
1546
01:23:17,180 --> 01:23:21,180
That's how Michael Riadi learned about business.
1547
01:23:21,180 --> 01:23:22,780
He went to college.
1548
01:23:22,780 --> 01:23:25,300
He was in real estate for 13 years.
1549
01:23:25,300 --> 01:23:28,660
And then in 2017, he got into the coffee business.
1550
01:23:28,660 --> 01:23:29,140
Sure.
1551
01:23:29,140 --> 01:23:32,620
He believes in starting small and thinking big.
1552
01:23:32,620 --> 01:23:35,220
And all of his coffee is direct trade.
1553
01:23:35,220 --> 01:23:38,700
He himself handpicks each coffee that he
1554
01:23:38,700 --> 01:23:41,220
sells on the Tentera website.
1555
01:23:41,220 --> 01:23:41,740
Cool.
1556
01:23:41,740 --> 01:23:43,740
And he's just getting it all from Indonesia.
1557
01:23:43,740 --> 01:23:45,380
And he's getting it all from Indonesia.
1558
01:23:45,380 --> 01:23:46,260
He's Indonesian.
1559
01:23:46,260 --> 01:23:47,500
He's getting it from Indonesia.
1560
01:23:47,500 --> 01:23:52,420
This is his like, someday when we run out of coffees,
1561
01:23:52,420 --> 01:23:55,660
we got to go back and try one of these coffees from his website,
1562
01:23:55,660 --> 01:23:56,580
I feel like.
1563
01:23:56,580 --> 01:23:58,060
But he works hard.
1564
01:23:58,060 --> 01:23:59,460
He works 18 hours a day.
1565
01:23:59,460 --> 01:24:02,060
He's just really a dedicated person.
1566
01:24:02,060 --> 01:24:06,900
So his grandpa's name is Maktar Riadi.
1567
01:24:06,900 --> 01:24:08,380
He started with a bike shop.
1568
01:24:08,380 --> 01:24:09,900
And then he went into banking.
1569
01:24:09,900 --> 01:24:12,100
And then he opened the Lipo Group.
1570
01:24:12,100 --> 01:24:12,980
Damn.
1571
01:24:12,980 --> 01:24:15,180
They do property management and development.
1572
01:24:15,180 --> 01:24:18,780
They're the largest real estate developer in Indonesia.
1573
01:24:18,780 --> 01:24:20,260
Wow.
1574
01:24:20,260 --> 01:24:23,220
Their investments include retail, media, real estate,
1575
01:24:23,220 --> 01:24:26,340
banking, natural resources, hospitality, and health care.
1576
01:24:26,340 --> 01:24:30,260
His personal net worth is $1.5 billion.
1577
01:24:30,260 --> 01:24:33,660
I would have to guess if I had to guess that his grandpa maybe
1578
01:24:33,660 --> 01:24:35,980
helped him get his coffee business started.
1579
01:24:35,980 --> 01:24:38,580
How dare you?
1580
01:24:38,580 --> 01:24:43,540
I mean, I mean, I don't think he was poor with surfboards either.
1581
01:24:43,540 --> 01:24:44,980
That's what pissed me off.
1582
01:24:44,980 --> 01:24:45,460
Yeah.
1583
01:24:45,460 --> 01:24:48,580
So then I was like 1% for surfboards.
1584
01:24:48,580 --> 01:24:51,700
$0.15 for every bag of coffee.
1585
01:24:51,700 --> 01:24:52,260
OK.
1586
01:24:52,260 --> 01:24:53,540
Goes towards?
1587
01:24:53,540 --> 01:24:54,660
Goes towards surfboards.
1588
01:24:54,660 --> 01:24:55,580
Surfboards.
1589
01:24:55,580 --> 01:24:56,380
Cool.
1590
01:24:56,380 --> 01:24:57,700
Shall we smoke a blunt?
1591
01:24:57,700 --> 01:25:00,620
Yeah.
1592
01:25:00,620 --> 01:25:03,020
Let's do this.
1593
01:25:03,020 --> 01:25:07,340
Modest Coffee roasts the highest quality single origin coffees
1594
01:25:07,340 --> 01:25:08,820
without the snobbery.
1595
01:25:08,820 --> 01:25:11,660
They take the guesswork out of buying specialty coffee
1596
01:25:11,660 --> 01:25:14,460
by carefully curating green coffees
1597
01:25:14,460 --> 01:25:18,140
and sorting them to one of their tiers based on cupping score,
1598
01:25:18,140 --> 01:25:21,060
price, flavor notes, and roast level.
1599
01:25:21,060 --> 01:25:27,620
Go to www.modest.coffee forward slash no bad reviews
1600
01:25:27,620 --> 01:25:29,660
to see what they're roasting today.
1601
01:25:29,660 --> 01:25:30,540
Pip pip cheerio.
1602
01:25:33,540 --> 01:25:35,940
And we're back.
1603
01:25:35,940 --> 01:25:37,180
Brewing some Indo coffee.
1604
01:25:37,180 --> 01:25:40,100
Brewing and it smells pretty good.
1605
01:25:40,100 --> 01:25:43,540
I mean, it is a dark roast and it does smell roasty.
1606
01:25:43,540 --> 01:25:44,300
Yeah.
1607
01:25:44,300 --> 01:25:45,620
But it smells good.
1608
01:25:45,620 --> 01:25:46,420
Yeah.
1609
01:25:46,420 --> 01:25:48,860
You know, I had a feeling this might be up your alley.
1610
01:25:48,860 --> 01:25:49,700
Right.
1611
01:25:49,700 --> 01:25:51,580
I did.
1612
01:25:51,580 --> 01:25:52,060
Hmm.
1613
01:25:54,740 --> 01:25:57,300
The beans smell pretty good in the bag.
1614
01:25:57,300 --> 01:26:00,820
It's got a good dark, dark roast on them.
1615
01:26:00,820 --> 01:26:03,380
Yeah, they're not like black, right?
1616
01:26:03,380 --> 01:26:08,420
They're not like, they're like a, they're very dark brown
1617
01:26:08,420 --> 01:26:10,260
and they're a little oily, but they're not
1618
01:26:10,260 --> 01:26:13,220
like black and super oily.
1619
01:26:13,220 --> 01:26:14,460
Yeah.
1620
01:26:14,460 --> 01:26:15,580
I think it smells good.
1621
01:26:15,580 --> 01:26:16,540
Nice.
1622
01:26:16,540 --> 01:26:17,660
I'm optimistic.
1623
01:26:17,660 --> 01:26:18,580
OK.
1624
01:26:18,580 --> 01:26:21,060
Yeah.
1625
01:26:21,060 --> 01:26:22,940
You know, I'm the other end of the spectrum.
1626
01:26:22,940 --> 01:26:23,460
Right.
1627
01:26:23,460 --> 01:26:26,900
You know, I'm like, I'm lighter.
1628
01:26:26,900 --> 01:26:28,900
I generally like the lighter roasts.
1629
01:26:28,900 --> 01:26:32,660
And this smells a little darker than I would normally go for.
1630
01:26:32,660 --> 01:26:34,500
Right.
1631
01:26:34,500 --> 01:26:37,580
But it does smell like pretty good coffee.
1632
01:26:37,580 --> 01:26:38,700
It doesn't smell bad.
1633
01:26:38,700 --> 01:26:40,700
Yeah.
1634
01:26:40,700 --> 01:26:41,180
Yeah.
1635
01:26:41,180 --> 01:26:43,580
I mean, I always like the way that roasted coffee smells.
1636
01:26:43,580 --> 01:26:44,540
It's got a great flavor.
1637
01:26:44,540 --> 01:26:45,180
Yeah.
1638
01:26:45,180 --> 01:26:46,620
Great aroma.
1639
01:26:46,620 --> 01:26:46,980
What?
1640
01:26:46,980 --> 01:26:47,940
Roasted coffee?
1641
01:26:47,940 --> 01:26:50,020
Yeah.
1642
01:26:50,020 --> 01:26:52,660
Is this a, this looks like an eco-friendly bag.
1643
01:26:52,660 --> 01:26:54,780
It sounds like an eco-friendly bag.
1644
01:26:54,780 --> 01:26:56,620
It's kind of really noisy.
1645
01:26:56,620 --> 01:27:03,420
And you said this is, whatchamacallit, Robusta?
1646
01:27:03,420 --> 01:27:04,260
No, no, no, no, no.
1647
01:27:04,260 --> 01:27:04,780
Oh, it's not?
1648
01:27:04,780 --> 01:27:06,980
You're confusing this with the last time.
1649
01:27:06,980 --> 01:27:07,500
Yeah.
1650
01:27:07,500 --> 01:27:08,020
No.
1651
01:27:08,020 --> 01:27:12,020
This is an Arabica.
1652
01:27:12,020 --> 01:27:14,900
It's a Sumatra, right?
1653
01:27:14,900 --> 01:27:16,380
Yeah.
1654
01:27:16,380 --> 01:27:19,540
Indo XYZ.
1655
01:27:19,540 --> 01:27:21,900
Yeah, I don't know what that means.
1656
01:27:21,900 --> 01:27:24,180
Yeah, I'm trying to understand.
1657
01:27:24,180 --> 01:27:27,020
Indo Xyz.
1658
01:27:27,020 --> 01:27:27,660
Is that a thing?
1659
01:27:27,660 --> 01:27:31,700
Indo Xyz is an Indonesian specialty coffee
1660
01:27:31,700 --> 01:27:35,340
created with the sole purpose of fueling the ambitious,
1661
01:27:35,340 --> 01:27:37,900
the tireless, although I would say it's maybe
1662
01:27:37,900 --> 01:27:42,100
for the people who are tired, the risk takers, the builders,
1663
01:27:42,100 --> 01:27:43,940
and the innovators.
1664
01:27:43,940 --> 01:27:44,460
Really?
1665
01:27:44,460 --> 01:27:46,700
It doesn't say all that.
1666
01:27:46,700 --> 01:27:48,500
Yeah, I mean, it's only for those people.
1667
01:27:48,500 --> 01:27:49,700
Oh, yeah, Biotree.
1668
01:27:49,700 --> 01:27:51,660
They're getting these bags from Pacific Bag.
1669
01:27:51,660 --> 01:27:52,940
OK, cool.
1670
01:27:52,940 --> 01:27:53,700
Nice bags.
1671
01:27:53,700 --> 01:27:56,980
We have shopped with this company that makes these bags.
1672
01:27:56,980 --> 01:27:57,500
Amazing.
1673
01:27:57,500 --> 01:27:58,380
Us and Snoop Dogg.
1674
01:27:58,380 --> 01:27:58,880
Yeah.
1675
01:27:58,880 --> 01:28:02,860
Isn't that crazy?
1676
01:28:02,860 --> 01:28:04,300
That's awesome.
1677
01:28:04,300 --> 01:28:07,620
So this coffee, according to the website,
1678
01:28:07,620 --> 01:28:11,300
the process is called wet hulling.
1679
01:28:11,300 --> 01:28:11,820
OK.
1680
01:28:11,820 --> 01:28:12,500
What is that?
1681
01:28:12,500 --> 01:28:14,140
Describe that.
1682
01:28:14,140 --> 01:28:17,380
I think that's just another name for washed coffee, right?
1683
01:28:17,380 --> 01:28:19,380
OK.
1684
01:28:19,380 --> 01:28:22,020
Where they break the, it's a wet, it's a water process
1685
01:28:22,020 --> 01:28:26,540
where they break the exterior of the bean, like the fruit, off.
1686
01:28:26,540 --> 01:28:28,180
And then they're left with the beans.
1687
01:28:28,180 --> 01:28:29,540
It's not really anything special.
1688
01:28:29,540 --> 01:28:30,340
It's pretty common.
1689
01:28:30,340 --> 01:28:33,860
I just hadn't heard that term before, wet hulling.
1690
01:28:33,860 --> 01:28:34,740
OK.
1691
01:28:34,740 --> 01:28:38,780
Yeah, it's just another name for mechanical separating.
1692
01:28:38,780 --> 01:28:42,340
Sometimes you'll hear it called mechanical separation of coffee.
1693
01:28:42,340 --> 01:28:46,300
They probably got a Panagos wet huller.
1694
01:28:46,300 --> 01:28:47,540
Oh, you know what?
1695
01:28:47,540 --> 01:28:56,500
I snapped a screenshot of this guy's coffee company page.
1696
01:28:56,500 --> 01:28:59,820
This is the Tenterra company, his other company,
1697
01:28:59,820 --> 01:29:03,500
because there's a bunch of guys standing in front of a roaster,
1698
01:29:03,500 --> 01:29:06,420
and it looks pretty small.
1699
01:29:09,620 --> 01:29:10,980
Yeah, I want to see too.
1700
01:29:10,980 --> 01:29:13,900
I'm going to guess that it's probably still a small company.
1701
01:29:13,900 --> 01:29:14,500
Oh, yeah.
1702
01:29:14,500 --> 01:29:15,460
You can make it.
1703
01:29:15,460 --> 01:29:18,500
They've got five dudes standing around.
1704
01:29:18,500 --> 01:29:20,740
Five dudes roasting on a 40 pound roaster.
1705
01:29:20,740 --> 01:29:24,020
It appears to be a 15 kilo would be my guess.
1706
01:29:24,020 --> 01:29:24,900
Let me see.
1707
01:29:24,900 --> 01:29:26,500
Yeah.
1708
01:29:26,500 --> 01:29:28,340
All right, Steph, I just broke your phone.
1709
01:29:28,340 --> 01:29:29,500
Can you be careful with my phone?
1710
01:29:29,500 --> 01:29:30,380
Sorry.
1711
01:29:30,380 --> 01:29:32,580
Do you think that's even a 15?
1712
01:29:32,580 --> 01:29:34,300
It does look tiny.
1713
01:29:34,300 --> 01:29:36,540
15 pound, maybe?
1714
01:29:36,540 --> 01:29:38,700
Looks like a tiny little roaster.
1715
01:29:38,700 --> 01:29:39,980
Isn't that funny?
1716
01:29:39,980 --> 01:29:41,580
You said these are on their website?
1717
01:29:41,580 --> 01:29:43,900
Yeah, this is the Tenterra website.
1718
01:29:43,900 --> 01:29:45,900
Maybe this was back in the day.
1719
01:29:45,900 --> 01:29:48,340
These are old photos.
1720
01:29:48,340 --> 01:29:50,740
Company started in 2019, right?
1721
01:29:50,740 --> 01:29:53,740
Yeah, 18 or 19, yeah.
1722
01:29:53,740 --> 01:29:55,700
Old photos.
1723
01:29:55,700 --> 01:29:56,980
I'm trying to understand.
1724
01:29:56,980 --> 01:29:59,820
Yeah, that's a super tiny roaster.
1725
01:29:59,820 --> 01:30:02,700
Why, how do they employ five people on their tiny ass
1726
01:30:02,700 --> 01:30:03,220
roaster?
1727
01:30:03,220 --> 01:30:04,460
That's what I was looking at, right.
1728
01:30:04,460 --> 01:30:05,620
Maybe they're just buddies.
1729
01:30:07,900 --> 01:30:09,940
I just looked up Snoop Dogg's net worth, finally.
1730
01:30:09,940 --> 01:30:11,220
Does anybody want to guess?
1731
01:30:11,220 --> 01:30:12,500
1.2 billion.
1732
01:30:12,500 --> 01:30:14,340
400 million.
1733
01:30:14,340 --> 01:30:16,580
You guys are both way over the top.
1734
01:30:16,580 --> 01:30:17,540
Oh, really?
1735
01:30:17,540 --> 01:30:18,660
He's not way richer?
1736
01:30:18,660 --> 01:30:19,580
No.
1737
01:30:19,580 --> 01:30:21,820
10 million.
1738
01:30:21,820 --> 01:30:22,940
Well, he's richer than that.
1739
01:30:22,940 --> 01:30:24,620
I think he's pulling a sugar night.
1740
01:30:27,940 --> 01:30:31,820
150 million is his net worth, which is very respectable.
1741
01:30:31,820 --> 01:30:33,300
Very respectable.
1742
01:30:33,300 --> 01:30:34,780
Very.
1743
01:30:34,780 --> 01:30:36,580
OK, 10 teracoffee.
1744
01:30:36,580 --> 01:30:37,220
Let's see.
1745
01:30:37,220 --> 01:30:38,820
Do you want to guess Snoop Dogg's IQ?
1746
01:30:38,820 --> 01:30:40,460
I don't know why that comes up on Google.
1747
01:30:40,460 --> 01:30:41,540
That's pretty funny.
1748
01:30:41,540 --> 01:30:42,700
110.
1749
01:30:42,700 --> 01:30:45,860
I'm giving him genius status, 124.
1750
01:30:45,860 --> 01:30:48,380
You guys are both low on this one.
1751
01:30:48,380 --> 01:30:53,220
It's allegedly 147, according to someone on Twitter.
1752
01:30:53,220 --> 01:30:56,460
That's higher than Albert Einstein.
1753
01:30:56,460 --> 01:30:58,940
Really?
1754
01:30:58,940 --> 01:31:00,900
Just so you know.
1755
01:31:00,900 --> 01:31:02,540
Imagine how brilliant he would be
1756
01:31:02,540 --> 01:31:04,180
if he wasn't stoned all the time.
1757
01:31:04,180 --> 01:31:05,780
He'd be doing the quantum.
1758
01:31:05,780 --> 01:31:06,500
Particle physics.
1759
01:31:06,500 --> 01:31:07,000
Yes.
1760
01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:12,240
10 teracoffee has no pictures of themselves.
1761
01:31:12,240 --> 01:31:13,560
It's all marketing.
1762
01:31:13,560 --> 01:31:14,960
OK, and titties?
1763
01:31:14,960 --> 01:31:17,160
You got titties?
1764
01:31:17,160 --> 01:31:20,560
Or is that they just saved that for Indo?
1765
01:31:20,560 --> 01:31:24,920
I mean, there are some kind of sexy surfer type women.
1766
01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:26,160
Those are athletes.
1767
01:31:26,160 --> 01:31:27,760
No, no, they're not actually surfing.
1768
01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:30,200
They're just like the type of women I would imagine hanging
1769
01:31:30,200 --> 01:31:30,760
out with surfers.
1770
01:31:30,760 --> 01:31:32,880
I'm sure Snoop was responsible for all those ladies.
1771
01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:35,960
But this was a long time ago, 182 weeks ago.
1772
01:31:35,960 --> 01:31:39,280
So they have seemed to have remodeled their image.
1773
01:31:39,280 --> 01:31:42,080
Should we do the olfactory reveal?
1774
01:31:42,080 --> 01:31:43,320
Oh, we kind of did a little bit.
1775
01:31:43,320 --> 01:31:43,820
We did.
1776
01:31:43,820 --> 01:31:44,680
Now we can do the actual.
1777
01:31:44,680 --> 01:31:47,880
Maybe he just has a babe for a girlfriend,
1778
01:31:47,880 --> 01:31:51,440
because maybe it's just a bunch of pictures of her and her
1779
01:31:51,440 --> 01:31:53,200
on 10 Tara's website.
1780
01:31:53,200 --> 01:31:56,600
If his family is worth $150 billion or whatever,
1781
01:31:56,600 --> 01:31:59,040
then I would hope that he did have a hot girlfriend.
1782
01:31:59,040 --> 01:32:00,880
It's only $1.5 billion.
1783
01:32:00,880 --> 01:32:03,400
Maybe it's one of Snoop's ladies.
1784
01:32:03,400 --> 01:32:05,080
Old favors.
1785
01:32:05,080 --> 01:32:09,040
I would love to be married to someone worth $1.5 billion.
1786
01:32:09,040 --> 01:32:10,200
That makes me feel great.
1787
01:32:10,200 --> 01:32:12,680
I'm just messing with you.
1788
01:32:12,680 --> 01:32:13,840
She would hate it.
1789
01:32:13,840 --> 01:32:17,280
I'm perfectly fine being married to someone worth $1.5
1790
01:32:17,280 --> 01:32:19,000
thousands.
1791
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:21,160
I would love to be divorced from somebody
1792
01:32:21,160 --> 01:32:23,720
who is worth $1.5 billion.
1793
01:32:23,720 --> 01:32:24,800
That'd be nice.
1794
01:32:24,800 --> 01:32:27,360
Little alimony?
1795
01:32:27,360 --> 01:32:28,840
Yeah.
1796
01:32:28,840 --> 01:32:30,120
Oh, yeah, you're right.
1797
01:32:30,120 --> 01:32:30,620
Mm-hmm.
1798
01:32:34,120 --> 01:32:34,880
It's not bad.
1799
01:32:34,880 --> 01:32:38,440
I predict that it's going to require Uncle Nearest Whiskey.
1800
01:32:38,440 --> 01:32:40,920
You know, it's not bad.
1801
01:32:40,920 --> 01:32:41,600
It's not bad?
1802
01:32:41,600 --> 01:32:43,720
It's not bad.
1803
01:32:43,720 --> 01:32:47,120
Is it the schiznit, or is it just the schiznit?
1804
01:32:50,400 --> 01:32:53,040
It's got a robust roast on this guy.
1805
01:32:53,040 --> 01:32:53,680
Yeah.
1806
01:32:53,680 --> 01:32:54,180
Yeah.
1807
01:32:54,180 --> 01:32:55,520
Definitely has dark rose vibes.
1808
01:32:55,520 --> 01:32:56,020
Yeah.
1809
01:32:56,020 --> 01:32:59,040
Do you know Sumatran coffees have a very unique flavor?
1810
01:32:59,040 --> 01:33:02,480
Typically, they're really heavy on tobacco and vanilla.
1811
01:33:02,480 --> 01:33:06,680
And I find that this does not shy away from that.
1812
01:33:06,680 --> 01:33:07,200
OK, good.
1813
01:33:07,200 --> 01:33:09,000
Sumatran coffees are typically what
1814
01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:14,240
are used as an ingredient or a base for espresso coffee.
1815
01:33:14,240 --> 01:33:16,600
That's a pretty common base for an espresso blend.
1816
01:33:16,600 --> 01:33:17,200
Add in, yeah.
1817
01:33:17,200 --> 01:33:21,960
It usually doesn't take a lot, like 10%, 20% of an espresso
1818
01:33:21,960 --> 01:33:23,880
blend.
1819
01:33:23,880 --> 01:33:30,080
Because this little tobacco-y funk goes a long way.
1820
01:33:30,080 --> 01:33:30,840
Not a bad way.
1821
01:33:30,840 --> 01:33:31,360
Uh-huh.
1822
01:33:31,360 --> 01:33:32,240
But it is.
1823
01:33:32,240 --> 01:33:35,440
One of my favorite genres.
1824
01:33:35,440 --> 01:33:38,840
It's a little dark for my general preferences.
1825
01:33:38,840 --> 01:33:40,280
So I'm going to get some milk.
1826
01:33:40,280 --> 01:33:41,640
Yeah, I think I'll join you in.
1827
01:33:41,640 --> 01:33:42,400
But it's not bad.
1828
01:33:42,400 --> 01:33:43,040
It's not bad.
1829
01:33:43,040 --> 01:33:45,000
It's just, I feel like, yeah, like we're talking
1830
01:33:45,000 --> 01:33:46,280
about espressos or whatever.
1831
01:33:46,280 --> 01:33:46,780
Yeah.
1832
01:33:46,780 --> 01:33:49,320
Like a latte, cappuccino, this would be really tasty with.
1833
01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:50,400
You know what this is?
1834
01:33:50,400 --> 01:33:51,440
Traditional.
1835
01:33:51,440 --> 01:33:51,940
Mm-hmm.
1836
01:33:51,940 --> 01:33:52,440
Yeah.
1837
01:33:55,200 --> 01:33:58,800
We like to taste the coffee black.
1838
01:33:58,800 --> 01:34:01,160
If we're not ready to give it a no bad review,
1839
01:34:01,160 --> 01:34:04,000
then we might add some cream, some sugar, some whiskey,
1840
01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:06,560
some whipped cream, whatever it takes
1841
01:34:06,560 --> 01:34:09,960
to get to the point where we can give it a no bad review.
1842
01:34:09,960 --> 01:34:12,840
So that's our grating system, which is great.
1843
01:34:12,840 --> 01:34:14,280
You know, we've got a process.
1844
01:34:14,280 --> 01:34:16,000
Right now, kind of working our way through it.
1845
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:17,800
Right now, working our way through this process.
1846
01:34:17,800 --> 01:34:18,300
Yes.
1847
01:34:18,300 --> 01:34:19,840
You know, getting a little milk.
1848
01:34:19,840 --> 01:34:21,820
Ooh, heavy whipping cream.
1849
01:34:21,820 --> 01:34:23,360
You've got heavy whipping cream.
1850
01:34:23,360 --> 01:34:24,360
Only for you.
1851
01:34:24,360 --> 01:34:25,880
Thank you.
1852
01:34:25,880 --> 01:34:29,040
So I added some milk, cream, whatever.
1853
01:34:29,040 --> 01:34:31,440
Milk with 1% cream.
1854
01:34:31,440 --> 01:34:32,960
Mostly water.
1855
01:34:32,960 --> 01:34:35,320
That's true.
1856
01:34:35,320 --> 01:34:37,440
Did you know that whole milk is only 3%?
1857
01:34:37,440 --> 01:34:42,680
So this is like the difference between 1% and whole milk
1858
01:34:42,680 --> 01:34:44,120
is like hardly anything.
1859
01:34:44,120 --> 01:34:46,920
Or it's 200%, depending on how you look at it.
1860
01:34:46,920 --> 01:34:52,000
I mean, if we're going on a scale of 100% no.
1861
01:34:52,000 --> 01:34:55,240
If you're 100% is what you've got in your hand right now.
1862
01:34:55,240 --> 01:34:55,880
I love it.
1863
01:34:55,880 --> 01:34:59,480
Versus 1% to 3%?
1864
01:34:59,480 --> 01:35:00,160
Come on.
1865
01:35:00,160 --> 01:35:04,960
We're talking a 2% difference between whole milk and 1%.
1866
01:35:04,960 --> 01:35:08,600
We are talking a 99% difference, though, between.
1867
01:35:08,600 --> 01:35:11,880
The milk that I added to it, you know,
1868
01:35:11,880 --> 01:35:13,080
needs a little extra help.
1869
01:35:13,080 --> 01:35:15,040
I feel like it could use a little sugar.
1870
01:35:15,040 --> 01:35:18,560
It's just like a little robust for me.
1871
01:35:18,560 --> 01:35:19,720
Yeah.
1872
01:35:19,720 --> 01:35:23,640
It's like throwing an ice cube at a house fire.
1873
01:35:23,640 --> 01:35:24,800
You know?
1874
01:35:24,800 --> 01:35:26,760
It's really not going to do much to it.
1875
01:35:26,760 --> 01:35:28,080
That house is burning.
1876
01:35:28,080 --> 01:35:33,520
I feel like if I had, you know what I would really like is like,
1877
01:35:33,520 --> 01:35:36,760
I feel like I would like some whipped cream.
1878
01:35:36,760 --> 01:35:38,000
You have whipped cream, too?
1879
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:38,520
Holy cow.
1880
01:35:38,520 --> 01:35:41,160
You've got all the big guns today.
1881
01:35:41,160 --> 01:35:43,880
I'm just going to have, I'm going to start out with sugar.
1882
01:35:43,880 --> 01:35:44,920
I tried it black.
1883
01:35:44,920 --> 01:35:48,440
I didn't love it.
1884
01:35:48,440 --> 01:35:52,520
As someone who enjoys a darker roast, it was too dark for me.
1885
01:35:52,520 --> 01:35:57,760
So I added some heavy whipping cream, and this is not bad.
1886
01:35:57,760 --> 01:35:58,280
OK.
1887
01:35:58,280 --> 01:36:01,880
I think it is like a good base for a cappuccino or something,
1888
01:36:01,880 --> 01:36:04,120
but not something you want to drink on your own.
1889
01:36:04,120 --> 01:36:06,760
It's some whipping cream, because the milk itself, you know,
1890
01:36:06,760 --> 01:36:07,600
just wasn't enough.
1891
01:36:07,600 --> 01:36:09,960
Didn't stand up enough.
1892
01:36:09,960 --> 01:36:11,680
I do have vanilla.
1893
01:36:11,680 --> 01:36:14,320
You know, I'm good here.
1894
01:36:14,320 --> 01:36:16,680
I kind of want to go back to the gin and juice
1895
01:36:16,680 --> 01:36:18,720
that I was having earlier today, though.
1896
01:36:18,720 --> 01:36:19,600
You know?
1897
01:36:19,600 --> 01:36:22,160
Does he have his own gin line?
1898
01:36:22,160 --> 01:36:23,240
Not that I'm aware of.
1899
01:36:23,240 --> 01:36:24,280
I didn't come across that.
1900
01:36:24,280 --> 01:36:25,720
Shockingly.
1901
01:36:25,720 --> 01:36:28,120
How is that not like the first thing he started?
1902
01:36:28,120 --> 01:36:29,240
It's crazy.
1903
01:36:29,240 --> 01:36:31,760
There should be a juice line and a gizz line.
1904
01:36:31,760 --> 01:36:34,760
And a gizz line?
1905
01:36:34,760 --> 01:36:35,280
All right.
1906
01:36:35,280 --> 01:36:39,720
This just took a turn that we never take on this podcast.
1907
01:36:39,720 --> 01:36:42,480
Snoop Dogg and Uncle Nearest Whiskey together,
1908
01:36:42,480 --> 01:36:44,440
is that a thing that we're trying?
1909
01:36:44,440 --> 01:36:45,520
Yes, we could try it.
1910
01:36:45,520 --> 01:36:47,040
Sure.
1911
01:36:47,040 --> 01:36:49,320
I think that's an appropriate combo.
1912
01:36:49,320 --> 01:36:50,680
I know he's into cognac.
1913
01:36:50,680 --> 01:36:52,440
I don't know if he's into whiskey.
1914
01:36:52,440 --> 01:36:54,240
I feel like he'd be OK with it.
1915
01:36:54,240 --> 01:36:56,120
I think because it's Uncle Nearest, yes.
1916
01:36:56,120 --> 01:36:56,760
Yes.
1917
01:36:56,760 --> 01:36:59,920
I think that's why he'd be OK with it.
1918
01:36:59,920 --> 01:37:02,560
But maybe he's into Jack Daniels or whatever, too.
1919
01:37:02,560 --> 01:37:05,440
I don't know.
1920
01:37:05,440 --> 01:37:06,880
Oh, thank you.
1921
01:37:06,880 --> 01:37:10,960
A lot of cream and a healthy shot of Uncle Nearest.
1922
01:37:10,960 --> 01:37:12,160
Mm.
1923
01:37:12,160 --> 01:37:12,680
Is that good?
1924
01:37:12,680 --> 01:37:13,240
So good.
1925
01:37:13,240 --> 01:37:14,320
It is a lot of whiskey.
1926
01:37:14,320 --> 01:37:15,720
Thank you.
1927
01:37:15,720 --> 01:37:17,720
I feel like Marcus always puts a lot in.
1928
01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:18,520
I do, too, though.
1929
01:37:18,520 --> 01:37:21,840
I think he was just matching what I normally do.
1930
01:37:21,840 --> 01:37:24,440
Yeah, so who is this coffee for, guys?
1931
01:37:24,440 --> 01:37:26,760
This coffee is, I mean, if you want it really dark,
1932
01:37:26,760 --> 01:37:28,200
it is really dark.
1933
01:37:28,200 --> 01:37:30,400
They only had one option on the website, right?
1934
01:37:30,400 --> 01:37:33,400
It was one dark roast, or you could get a cold brew.
1935
01:37:33,400 --> 01:37:34,600
I'm ready to drink.
1936
01:37:34,600 --> 01:37:35,800
Right?
1937
01:37:35,800 --> 01:37:36,320
I don't know.
1938
01:37:36,320 --> 01:37:36,880
It's not bad.
1939
01:37:36,880 --> 01:37:38,240
It's just extremely dark.
1940
01:37:38,240 --> 01:37:40,920
So you need to mix.
1941
01:37:40,920 --> 01:37:46,160
You need to make a cappuccino or mix a lot of cream with it.
1942
01:37:46,160 --> 01:37:46,880
It's fine.
1943
01:37:46,880 --> 01:37:50,840
I think it's the perfect coffee for after a yacht party.
1944
01:37:50,840 --> 01:37:51,800
Oh.
1945
01:37:51,800 --> 01:37:52,400
Next day.
1946
01:37:52,400 --> 01:37:53,000
Next morning.
1947
01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:53,920
Yeah.
1948
01:37:53,920 --> 01:37:55,040
Yeah, a little pick me up.
1949
01:37:55,040 --> 01:37:55,680
You need something serious.
1950
01:37:55,680 --> 01:37:56,440
You're still in the boat.
1951
01:37:56,440 --> 01:37:57,720
You're still in the fucking dock.
1952
01:37:57,720 --> 01:37:58,760
You haven't left.
1953
01:37:58,760 --> 01:38:00,240
Thought about leaving last night.
1954
01:38:00,240 --> 01:38:01,080
Am I seasick?
1955
01:38:01,080 --> 01:38:01,960
Am I hungover?
1956
01:38:01,960 --> 01:38:02,720
Is it both?
1957
01:38:02,720 --> 01:38:03,560
Right.
1958
01:38:03,560 --> 01:38:06,920
It's me and 17 ladies on a yacht.
1959
01:38:06,920 --> 01:38:10,280
I think I might owe them $1,500.
1960
01:38:10,280 --> 01:38:11,240
For their time.
1961
01:38:11,240 --> 01:38:22,040
I think this coffee's for Heria when you need to run shit.
1962
01:38:22,040 --> 01:38:22,880
Yeah.
1963
01:38:22,880 --> 01:38:25,160
So really is.
1964
01:38:25,160 --> 01:38:27,440
It's building dreams.
1965
01:38:27,440 --> 01:38:28,880
You're going after them.
1966
01:38:28,880 --> 01:38:29,640
I get it.
1967
01:38:29,640 --> 01:38:31,560
I get why it's for building dreams.
1968
01:38:31,560 --> 01:38:34,800
You just need to stay awake for like 18 hours
1969
01:38:34,800 --> 01:38:38,080
and move a shit ton of crack.
1970
01:38:38,080 --> 01:38:39,760
I think when you have a shit ton of crack,
1971
01:38:39,760 --> 01:38:41,480
you don't need coffee to stay up.
1972
01:38:41,480 --> 01:38:43,280
Oh.
1973
01:38:43,280 --> 01:38:43,800
OK.
1974
01:38:43,800 --> 01:38:45,800
Well, that's our episode, guys.
1975
01:38:45,800 --> 01:38:46,800
Yeah, I'm sorry.
1976
01:38:46,800 --> 01:38:48,920
I wish I had something nicer to say about the coffee.
1977
01:38:48,920 --> 01:38:49,840
Yeah.
1978
01:38:49,840 --> 01:38:51,200
You know what?
1979
01:38:51,200 --> 01:38:54,200
I think that there's a time and place for dark roasted coffee.
1980
01:38:54,200 --> 01:38:56,520
Like I said, I think this coffee is great with milk,
1981
01:38:56,520 --> 01:38:59,800
and I think it'd be really good with some vanilla.
1982
01:38:59,800 --> 01:39:03,480
Sumatran coffee has a very distinct flavor.
1983
01:39:03,480 --> 01:39:04,400
So it's kind of tough.
1984
01:39:04,400 --> 01:39:08,080
You either really like it, or you really don't.
1985
01:39:08,080 --> 01:39:10,320
So it's a divisive coffee.
1986
01:39:10,320 --> 01:39:12,680
There's a coffee out there for everything, though.
1987
01:39:12,680 --> 01:39:16,680
I'm not going to be able to use that say that Goshen GFA
1988
01:39:16,680 --> 01:39:21,280
coffee if I want a latte or an iced vanilla coffee.
1989
01:39:21,280 --> 01:39:22,280
That's not going to work.
1990
01:39:22,280 --> 01:39:23,560
That would be terrible.
1991
01:39:23,560 --> 01:39:25,680
I mean, Sumatra is a really important ingredient
1992
01:39:25,680 --> 01:39:28,840
in Starbucks' repertoire.
1993
01:39:28,840 --> 01:39:31,920
I actually used to drink the Sumatra in Starbucks
1994
01:39:31,920 --> 01:39:32,760
all the time.
1995
01:39:32,760 --> 01:39:33,280
I loved it.
1996
01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:35,440
It was as black as the night.
1997
01:39:35,440 --> 01:39:35,960
Yeah.
1998
01:39:35,960 --> 01:39:36,440
Yeah.
1999
01:39:36,440 --> 01:39:38,240
So that's a time and a place.
2000
01:39:38,240 --> 01:39:39,400
That's for a lot of people.
2001
01:39:39,400 --> 01:39:41,360
So this is great if you like a darker roast.
2002
01:39:41,360 --> 01:39:42,280
Awesome.
2003
01:39:42,280 --> 01:39:45,000
And you get to support Snoop Dogg.
2004
01:39:45,000 --> 01:39:46,840
I don't know that he needs your support.
2005
01:39:46,840 --> 01:39:49,440
But if you're trying to help the children through Snoop Dogg.
2006
01:39:49,440 --> 01:39:49,960
That's right.
2007
01:39:49,960 --> 01:39:52,280
You can help out a youth football league.
2008
01:39:52,280 --> 01:39:55,400
Just help pad his coffers a little more.
2009
01:39:55,400 --> 01:39:58,240
And if you want to help out three other children,
2010
01:39:58,240 --> 01:40:00,280
there's three adult children here.
2011
01:40:00,280 --> 01:40:04,680
You can sign up on patreon.com forward slash no bad reviews.
2012
01:40:04,680 --> 01:40:07,560
For that, you'll get some more bonus content, which
2013
01:40:07,560 --> 01:40:09,760
we're about to put out here on our Love It or Leave It.
2014
01:40:09,760 --> 01:40:12,080
We've got a couple of episodes coming out here.
2015
01:40:12,080 --> 01:40:13,680
You can support our drinking habit.
2016
01:40:13,680 --> 01:40:15,880
That's always really helpful, because it's expensive
2017
01:40:15,880 --> 01:40:17,080
to keep us lit up.
2018
01:40:17,080 --> 01:40:17,640
Right, Steph?
2019
01:40:17,640 --> 01:40:19,840
I'm going to spend all my money on drugs.
2020
01:40:19,840 --> 01:40:20,960
Please send it in.
2021
01:40:20,960 --> 01:40:22,360
Every month.
2022
01:40:22,360 --> 01:40:24,720
So that's how you do it.
2023
01:40:24,720 --> 01:40:25,320
Stick with us.
2024
01:40:25,320 --> 01:40:26,680
We'll see you on the next party.
2025
01:40:26,680 --> 01:40:28,720
And thanks for joining us on this one,
2026
01:40:28,720 --> 01:40:32,680
Indocoffee by Snoop Dogg, Indo XYZ.
2027
01:40:32,680 --> 01:40:35,400
And we'll see you guys next week.
2028
01:40:35,400 --> 01:40:37,440
Couple weeks, right?
2029
01:40:37,440 --> 01:40:39,520
Theoretically, if I come back.
2030
01:40:39,520 --> 01:40:40,400
Right.
2031
01:40:40,400 --> 01:40:41,920
I think you'll come back from New York.
2032
01:40:41,920 --> 01:40:43,680
There's a very high cost of living there.
2033
01:40:43,680 --> 01:40:43,720
That's true.
2034
01:40:43,720 --> 01:40:44,200
You're right.
2035
01:40:44,200 --> 01:40:45,440
I'll have to come back.
2036
01:40:45,440 --> 01:40:47,680
Do you really want to live in a 100 square foot
2037
01:40:47,680 --> 01:40:49,400
apartment with your family?
2038
01:40:49,400 --> 01:40:49,900
No.
2039
01:40:49,900 --> 01:40:50,880
God, no.
2040
01:40:54,520 --> 01:40:55,960
I didn't think so.
2041
01:40:55,960 --> 01:40:58,000
We'll find out next week, folks.
2042
01:40:58,000 --> 01:41:00,360
Did Steph like her trip?
2043
01:41:00,360 --> 01:41:01,080
We'll find out.
2044
01:41:01,080 --> 01:41:02,120
I'll bring some coffee.
2045
01:41:02,120 --> 01:41:02,760
All right.
2046
01:41:02,760 --> 01:41:04,800
I want to hear the No Bad Reviews version of New York.
2047
01:41:04,800 --> 01:41:05,880
Awesome.
2048
01:41:05,880 --> 01:41:06,480
Peace out.
2049
01:41:06,480 --> 01:41:33,560
