Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, we have in the building, you might know him, he was the safety for Harvard. Never knew that. There's something every day. We know him as that.

Dr. Oz, ladies and gentlemen. I did not know you played football, Dr. Oz. Yeah, I did. I came out because we're talking about the Jets and Fitzpatrick who played quarterback for Harvard a couple years after the obviously. But one of the reasons I went into medicine was because of football. I loved understanding how my body functioned. I realized that the different, everyone would eat food at the place called the Harvard Union. It's where all the freshmen, when the freshman Harvard yard folks would go.

And I realized if I ate good food, food that's good for me, I'd play better. And if I ate the miserable stuff I had grown up eating oftentimes, I didn't perform so well. Sluggish. Sluggish is the word. When did you diagnose yourself with CTE? Not yet. It's coming up soon. When it happens, I won't perform so well. Sluggish. Sluggish is the word. When did you diagnose yourself with CTE? Not yet. It's coming up soon. When it happens, I won't know it's happening, though. Let's talk about the concussions in football

since we're talking about them. Would you advise your children or your son to play football? Or would you want them to? So my son is captain of his football team in high school. But here's my thought. I made a little snippet for the NFL, and I am acutely aware of CTE, you know, chronic traumatic encephalopathy and concussions. I had concussions when I was playing.

All that said and done, what I got out of playing contact sports, because it's not just football, it's lacrosse and hockey. And, you know, my youngest daughter got a bad concussion playing basketball. She was captain of a basketball team in high school. Lacrosse. You count lacrosse? Lacrosse is a tough game. A lot of people play and people whack you with a stick. And that ball is hard.

In football, you can only use your body. In lacrosse, you can use a stick to hurt the person. So I learned a lot about life playing contact sports. I think there are lots of metaphors that you can extrapolate. And I think that if you're thoughtful about the injuries that might happen and quickly get out of the game if you are having injuries.

Some people have more than others. It helps. The other thing is professional football is a whole different level of head contact than high school football and high school sports. Love head contact in high school. Right. Well, I don't think it's, you know, we try to coach all across the country, make sure your kids don't put their head first.

It still happens. I know it. But there's a lot more awareness to concussions than there was ever before. I've done shows on this. There's little concussion scales that parents can use for their kids so they can tell if their kids are having an issue and get them out. But there's a risk. It's still there. But at one point

you draw the line. That's the real issue. Boxing was a line when I was a kid. I boxed as well. That's a dangerous sport, I think, at many levels. You boxed two doctors? Who would have known? It was crazy. I just thought you was all brains. a dangerous sport, I think, at many levels. You boxed two Dr. Oz? Who knew? Crazy. Who would have known? It was crazy. I just thought you was all brains.

You know, the brains came because I stopped playing some of those sports later on. You said you also played women's basketball before you guys came in here. That's right. I played basketball with women. No, we were talking about Common who was supporting your juice. You played water polo too? I played water polo too, yeah. That's crazy. That's all I did was play sports.

All American. School got in the way. Now, what is this thing that you brought us? We thank you for the gifts, but we see you brought us a gift. I saw him posting this. I was excited to get it. Yeah, this is the ResMed S Plus device. We have a partnership with them, and we're giving away a million dollars of these devices

on the show. Really? And the cool thing about them, I think they're a fantastic device for tracking how you sleep, but they don't just look at how you're moving. They actually watch you as you're sleeping. It allows you to figure out if you're breathing the right way. Do you have restless leg syndrome? Are you not falling asleep?

Are you waking up too early? Are there sounds that are waking you up? Is the temperature of the room? What's going on in your bedroom in that atmosphere that's causing you to have problems sleeping? And the reason it's important to me is I want to gain a million nights of sleep data. I want to have a lot of people get these devices inexpensively or for free, hook them up and use them for you and your family. And let's figure out why we're not sleeping as a country. Because when we don't sleep, we pay a price with high blood pressure, number one cause of aging. We gain weight. We have problems with our memory.

That's a lot worse, I bet, than playing sports is not sleeping, causing Alzheimer's and loss of creativity. You also can't cope with life as well. These are depression. Your immune system gets weak, so you get the flu, but you also get cancer more often. So let's deal with the most underappreciated problem in America, which is sleep. So go to DrRoz.com or SleepScore.com. Get some of these devices. Get them into your house.

Use them. And then I'm getting the information, so I'll share the information back with everybody. So Charlamagne, for example,. Get some of these devices. Get them into your house. Use them. And then I'm getting the information, so I'll share the information back with everybody. So Charlamagne, for example, has got one of these devices. I do. I'm trying to figure out how to hook it up. I'm going to help you. We're going to come to you.

We're doing intervention at your home. I'm also going to hook up your DVR while I'm there. What temperature should you sleep? Because you said temperature. What's a good temperature that people should sleep? That's a great question. 68 degrees or less. Oh, I thought that was my wife.

Yeah, if you were fighting with your spouse over the temperature of the room, whoever wants it colder wins. And one other little trick, put socks on. Because if you're wearing socks, the coldness in the room won't bother you as much. Right, it keeps you warm. It lets your core temperature get colder. You're going to hibernate at night. And subtle things keep you up.

Some people are unaware they're woken up by... Sweat wakes me up. If I sweat a lot, I have this one comforter that when I put it over me, for whatever reason, it makes me sweat. And I wake up sweating and sweat will wake me up. You know what? That's the TV on. People sleep with the TV on. I can't sleep with the TV on. That's one of the worst habits we have.

I can't stand when people sleep with the TV on. Every night before you go to bed, we ask you a couple basic questions to help track you. So we want to know if caffeine keeps you up, if the TV keeps you up, if you're looking at electronics late at night. Some people don't sleep unless they exercise, which I find for myself. If I do something physically active during the day, I can sleep so well at night. If I just sit around all day long, I can't sleep.

So once we figure out what's going on in your life, we can customize advice. Like what time you eat at night sometimes. Another good example. You want to generally sleep three hours after you finish dinner. But some people get away with dinner and coffee at night. Others don't. So if you get away with it, why hassle you over it? But if you can't get away, some people can't have coffee even in the afternoon.

I'm glad we're doing this because one of my friends actually specifically asked me to ask you a question about sleep. Now, he said that he keeps on waking up in the middle of the night with anxiety, and he'll wake up, like, several times throughout the night and feeling like he can't breathe and I don't know what's going on. He said, can you ask Dr. Oz what is it that keeps waking me up, like I'm anxious or I have, like, a problem? Now, is this a thug friend? Has he ever killed somebody? No.

That could be it. Bad dreams. So the tracking devices measure what kind of sleep you're getting. Is it REM sleep, deep sleep, or light sleep? You need to have all three. REM sleep is dream sleep, and oftentimes anxieties will play out during REM sleep. So the dreams you have, even if you don't remember them, will be pretty vivid. Now, you're paralyzed when you have REM sleep.

Your body is unable to move. Otherwise, you'd act out your dreams. So if your friend is having nightmares or events that are revealing anxieties, there's probably dreams associated with them. Interpreting those dreams can be helpful. Okay. But you don't just wake up spontaneously without something that's not being resolved deep inside of you. Again, that's one of the benefits of sleep.

You reboot the system. And if you don't do that right, it just builds itself up during the day. So you're paralyzed during REM sleep? I didn't know that. Yeah, you can't move. I should be jumping off buildings. I thought that was the hag riding you. So when you pee and you're asleep, that's not REM sleep?

No. Like when you have the dream that you're peeing? Yeah, no. But first of all, most people don't actually pee when they're dreaming that they're peeing. But there are some people who have that, and you don't need to be able to move to pee. That's an involuntary motion, like breathing, right? I mean, you breathe even though you can't move. You can't voluntarily move.

Your body is unable to act out what you're dreaming during REM sleep. Now, other types of sleep you can. In normal light sleep and deep sleep, you can move around. But your body doesn't want to. It's trying to relax. You're trying to rest your brain. What about when you're dreaming that you're having sex? Exactly.

What about wet dreams? You guys are having all over your stomach. You guys are having the same wavelength. I mean, they look at each other. Love was in their eyes. What about wet dreams? You guys are all over your stomach. Same wavelength. I mean, they looked at each other. Love was in their eyes. And then I heard wet and REM. So again, it was one of those iconic human needs. And if you're not getting it, you're going to start dreaming about it.

But it starts to get louder and louder until you eventually want to act out on it. But people, you talked about wet dreams are real. Some people urinate in their dreams. Other people, you know. It's a one-off. Exactly. That is rather than you a one-off. Exactly. That is sad that you're giving a bunch of these away. We're giving a bunch away.

And sometimes these things can be expensive for people depending on their budget. So they're super discounted if they're not free. But they're out there. Take advantage of them. Closest thing I can do to walking into your home and trying to help you get better sleep. But what I really need folks to do is use it on themselves and then share it with their friends. We want to just collect information on people. We want to understand what is it that's messing with.

I'll give you an example. Daylight savings time, right? Yeah. So we looked at the data from these devices. The average American slept 31 more minutes with daylight savings. Now, what does that mean? Putting the clock back an hour,

which basically gave you an extra hour in your day, helped you get 31 minutes of sleep. That's a huge payoff. I felt way more awake today than I have in the past couple months. Yeah, which is fantastic. Most Americans do. When we spring forward, we lose the hour, we have more car accidents, people feel badly, they're not as creative.

So it just reinforces that if you control your destiny, if you could carve out one extra hour a weekend, you'd feel the way you do now all the time. Alright, we have more with Dr. Oz when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. What up, y'all? It's DJ Envy. Hey, I'm Angela Yee. And I go by the name of Charlemagne Tha God, and we just

want to say happy holidays from all three of us. All three of y'all. The Breakfast Club. Do you mind? Baby, you do you mind? Do you mind? Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha God, we are The Breakfast Club.

We have Dr. Oz in the building. Now, Dr. Oz, we're talking about sleep and getting better sleep. What about having sex before you go to bed? How good is that for sleep? For most people, it's good. But for some people, it's not. Again, you can track that as well. Puts me right to sleep.

Yeah, but most men feel sleepy after sex. Most women feel energized by sex. Yeah, you got to clean the house, make something to eat. Exactly. That's because girls don't really orgasm. That's not why. Guys got off, but the girl didn't, so they're like, okay, I need to finish.

That's what happens usually. That's your house. When we look at longevity and sex It's sort of cool Women, it's not about numbers of time It's about the quality of sex That's it And so it is

You can play it out You can role play You can play with it Play with And plus the cut By the way, he was on my show this week We're talking about men's health I saw him playing with like two balls

What was the two balls he was playing with? Well, he was going to use his And I didn't want him to So I made him playing with like two balls. What was the two balls he was playing with? Well, he was going to use his, and I didn't want him to. So I made him synthetic fake balls so he could demonstrate how he plays with his balls. But the reason we did it was because all week long we had this partnership with the Today Show. We were talking about Movember, men's health. We did this huge survey looking at what's going on with men. So what are they admitting? What are they not admitting?

So most men don't want to test touch themselves. They don't want to examine themselves. Even though testicular cancer is, you know, in young men is one of the most common cancers. So let's do it in the shower or in a tub when they're floating. Is that when you cough? No, coughs are hernia. Okay.

We do it as part of the same exam, but you don't need to examine yourself for a hernia. That'd be uncomfortable. But your testicles, when you get into the shower, you just feel them. See what's everything in there. If you feel like it's a marble, it's supposed to feel like a walnut. Two walnuts, right?

And one's, notice the left one's lower than the right one. They're supposed to be off so they don't bang into each other. You know the word avocado means testicle? Really? In Aztec, yeah. I don't eat avocados. Because avocados grow in pairs. One's lower than the other, so they don't bang into each other.

There too. And they have that gritty feeling on the outside. They feel like testicles. They're bigger than testicles, but they feel like testicles. So next time I there, too, and they have that gritty feeling on the outside. They feel like testicles. They're bigger than testicles, but they feel like testicles. Next time I'm at a restaurant, I'm going to say, hold the testicles. Hold testicles. What if you have elephantiasis? Elephantiasis is a problem with drainage of the lymphatic system,

so your testicles swell up with fluid that can't drain back to the body. That's really uncomfortable. It's usually related to parasites in Africa and South America. I've seen some pictures of that, isn't it? Yeah. Is it possible to give yourself a prostate exam? We can try. That's one of the other questions.

I didn't get to this on the show with you. The average male, please audit this for me. You want to try something? Yes. The average male thinks a prostate exam takes more than a minute. Now, to me, that's foreplay. Yeah. But, you know, it takes like 10 seconds to do a prostate exam.

I don't know what's going on. When should you do that? So prostate exam should start by the time you're about 50. You're not going to find much out before then. And we used to do it earlier, but we don't find a lot of stuff until 50. Okay. And make sure that, you know, if the guy has both hands on your shoulders, that's not good either.

Right? No, it's funny. I went to the hands on your shoulders, that's not good either. Right? You know what's funny? I went to the doctor this weekend for my checkup. No hands. And I asked him, because I thought that you check early. He was like, no, you don't do it until you're 50 unless somebody in your family has a problem or prior or there's symptoms that you have. Well, how can you tell?

Like, what do you feel that you know something's wrong? So, the prostate has two little side, like, rounded surfaces to it. So you're supposed to feel both of those rounded surfaces. You're not supposed to feel anything that feels like it's an acorn or, you know, a marble. So if your doctor's doing it before the age of 50, he's looking for a good time. No, doctors sometimes do it earlier than that if it's a family history. African-Americans have a higher incidence. That's right.

African-Americans have a higher incidence of prostate cancer. You might do it there. But listen, this is a really true, the reason there's so much debate over this blood test, the PSA test, is that men don't realize that prostate cancer doesn't kill you usually. But in our big survey we did that was part of the survey that Charlemagne was part of, we asked over a thousand men these questions. 80% of men think if you have prostate cancer and don't have surgery, you're going to die. Not true.

In fact, there was a big study showed that if you get surgery versus radiation versus just watching it, the survival rate at 10 years was the same. So it's dangerous, but you don't have to jump into it. Don't overreact. Whether you find something in a prostate exam or if you find a cancer from the blood test, you can't get too aggressive too quickly. Ben Stiller, the actor, talked about his prostate cancer this month. And he went 18 months after his blood test before he did anything about it

because he wanted to just watch and see if lifestyle would turn it around. And we're learning in cancer more and more. Lifestyle makes a huge difference. Even sleep, by the way, makes a difference in how you cope with cancer. Sleep, sleep, not only does it, I mentioned, cause the flu, but it literally does cause some cancers if you don't get enough of it because it weakens your immune system. Why on American Pie did Stifler like getting prostate exams? Because you have nerve endings back there.

So the G spot, you know where the G spot is, right? Not in me. Not in you. Yes, it is. There you have a G spot too. Women have a G spot that's just behind the, you put your finger into the uterus and you sort of pull up towards yourself. The G spots there usually in women. In males, the G-spots on the prostate.

So men have a G-spot that can be stimulated through the rectum. It's just that's not how men normally get excited, but it does happen sometimes. Can I examine my boyfriend if I'm like, listen, I'm concerned. Let me just check in there. You encouraged that on the show. When I did your show, you were saying that you should have your partner do the exams on you. But you said prostate. I said testicles, yes were saying that you should have your partner do the exams on you. But you said prostate.

I said testicles, yes. Oh, prostate. I wouldn't examine his... I think you were. Yeah. Well, no. Testicles, for sure, you should examine him. In fact, you're probably

a better detective than he is. For a prostate exam, you really want to wear a glove and not have nails like yours. How would you have that conversation? I'm just curious. I'd be like,

I'm concerned about your health. All right, bend over. All right, we got more with Dr. Oz when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Dr. Oz is in the building. Dr. Oz, I have to ask you this question. So I have this podcast called Lip Service, and we had a woman on the other day. And she says she has a really big clitoris. No, no, really big, Dr. Oz.

A little penis. She said it kind of looks like a little penis. I want to show you a picture of it. And tell me, is this something that should be a concern? Poor Dr. Oz. How do I, yes. Is that like on average? No, that's significantly larger.

You know, it's really a miracle that we become males and females because we differentiate in our mother's womb because we're all born, we're created the same, and then we split. So sometimes these things get, the process doesn't complete. And so you're left in the middle somewhere. We've done shows on that. But she's in the middle. Well, they're in the middle.

They're in the middle more. But again done shows on that. But she's in the middle. Well, they're in the middle. They're in the middle more, but again, people have lots of problems coping with this because they're not seeing. They want to sort of be in one group or the other, and they can't, and probably 1% of the population is not clearly in one group or the other, and they hurt themselves

because they feel badly about it, which is don't do that. Well, it works out well for her. I think she makes a lot of money. It might be good for her in her career, and she's found her path in life. God bless her, but there are a lot of folks sitting It might be good for her in her career. She's found her path in life. God bless her. But there are a lot of folks sitting at home right now listening who might feel that way

about themselves. And it's dangerous. I'll give you a little test that's a little more easy to talk about. So hold your fingers in front of you like this. Hold your right finger. Now, is your index finger longer or shorter than your ring finger? Which one is my index? The first, second, and the fourth.

Your ring finger. This one. Yes. Mine is longer than all my other fingers. Your ring finger is the longest. I don't know. What is mine? Mine is almost the same., and the fourth. Your ring finger. This one. Yes. Mine is longer than all my other fingers. Your ring finger is the longest. I don't know. What is mine? Mine is almost the same.

The same. So for men, the ring finger is supposed to be longer. Yeah. For females, the index finger is supposed to be longer. But sometimes we flip. Sometimes, you know, we're just, because we're exposed to hormones differently when we're in a mother's belly. So what does this mean?

You're much more feminine. What does this mean? You're a classic male. Charlamagne's a classic male. Classic male. I've always heard you could tell how big a guy's penis is from his index finger. I'm a feminine. I don't think that's true. You got Donald Trump on. Yes, I did. He's healthy. He's ready to go. He looked kind of unhealthy. I'm going to be honest

with you. According to his medical notes and the questions I asked him, he's healthy and he's good enough to run and be president. He looked a little overweight, though. Well, he admitted that. He said he's 15, 20 pounds overweight, but that's good enough to run and be president. He looked a little overweight, though. Well, he admitted that. He said he's 15, 20 pounds overweight, but that's probably typical for a lot of Americans. I mean, I think weight's an issue that a lot of folks have to deal with as they go through life.

The problem is when you're young and have weight, then it gets even more difficult when you get older, which is, again, going back to sleep again. Things like sleep, dumb mistakes like that can cost you a lot because when you don't sleep, you crave carbohydrates. And we also set up, there's all month on the show, we're doing food hacks. We got the best chefs in America coming on

to talk about how you can make your meals in 15 minutes or less and save money. But we're also going to walk you through some of the big food stores. How can you get the healthy food, even in fast food places, and not put weight on? Because it's a big crisis. And most of the weight we'll gain,

we'll gain this time of year. Next two months, almost all the weight gain for the whole year. So if you don't gain weight over the holidays, you don't have to go on a diet in January because you're going to weigh the same as you did before the holidays. I saw you did this whole, you're doing this also three-day reset for people. So I was taking a look at that as well. I love that.

I do that all the time. In three days, you can reset the gut bacteria because our bacteria in our gut do most of our digestion. We outsource digestion. And so if we can get the bacteria to behave themselves, they'll work better for us. So if you eat the right kinds of foods, things like alliums, you know what alliums are? Leeks and onions and garlics. These are foods that go into our gut and feed the good bacteria.

Within three days, you can reset that system. So if you go to my app, go on my app. You'll find the three-day reset challenge there. All of our recipe plans are there. And lots of great advice. Download the app. Take advantage of it. Be part of the community. But most importantly, hack your food so you naturally are going to lose weight without working hard at it.

Nothing's healthier than laughing and having a good time with your family over a meal. But don't do dumb things before Christmas, which is what most of us do. We get tired. We start having to go to a lot of office parties, drink too much at those parties. We have a hedonistic drive to eat that's unleashed by the extra alcohol in our blood. So I always tell people, always have a glass of water between each drink. It'll keep the hangover down, but also... Stop you from drinking.

Exactly. And fight for your sleep over the holidays. Because, again, if you're not sleeping enough, you're going to gain weight naturally. You have more time to eat, and you'll eat the wrong things. Okay, there you have it. Dr. Oz. Dr. Oz, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. That was Tory Lanez with Love. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Goes by the name of Baron Davis. What's up, what's up?

What's up, sir? Welcome back. Thanks for having me. Baron out here in East Creece cashing in on the holiday ugly Christmas sweater phenomenon. Well, I think it's more than that, though, for Black Santa. Yeah, you know, for us, it's like a cultural movement. Okay. You know, the understanding that, you know, my grandmother,

aunts, old aunts, you know, my grandmother, Anse, old Anse, they always collected Black Santas. And so the thought was like, yo, there's nothing that represent us, you know, and no character, really no characters when you look at it that exude positivity or speak like us, walk like us, that our kids can learn and grow from. So that was really like the basis. I wanted, you know, being a filmmaker and things like that, I was like, man, I need to, you know, figure out something. Some people are devastated by the idea that Santa could be black. And we saw that with the Mall of America when they had that black Santa and people got so...

Oh, yeah, they went mad. Nobody would take a picture with that Santa. Wait till you find out about black Jesus. No, but were you shocked that people really were protesting? Yeah, for sure. You know, it's just a sign of ignorance. You know, people want to be divisive. And there's still a big majority of this country that, you know, just live off conflict and breathe from conflict.

You're from Cali, right? Yeah. You have a two-year-old son, right? Yes. What do you tell him about Santa? I mean, when you see the image, he like, man, that's Santa. But his mom is half white, half Brazilian, so he go take pictures with the white Santa.

Oh, you one of those. Oh, stop it. You're lucky you are the league. You take a picture with a white woman nowadays, boy. Charlamagne knows. Jersey sales dropped. He ain't lying. So you believe in the

magic of Christmas and Santa because Charlamagne said he tells his daughter that. He's Santa. I grew up Jehovah's Witness, so I never celebrated it. My wife do, so. And she's black. So, you know. Why you gotta say that? She's black.

God. do so yeah and she's black so you know i just feel like everybody needs to have you know some type of positivity especially around this season you know um it's just a lot going on and a lot that has been going on and we just you know we need we just need some positive vibes some good energy and you know knowing what's coming's coming in these next four years, I think it's an opportunity for people to actually come together. My favorite Christmas song was Santa Claus is a Black Man. You know that song? Not Jingle Bells? Santa Claus is a Black Man.

It's got a little nice funky beat to it, too. You're from Cali, so if you're from Cali, can you really rep Santa? Because he wears all red. No, seriously, if you're a Ci, can you really rep Santa? Because he wears all red. If you a Crips rep Santa Claus? They rep the blue suits. See, that's what I'm saying. I'm serious. Well, we need to do something called Santa Blas.

Triple OG blood Santa Claus. That's what we're going to do next year for the ugly Christmas wedding. I don't know about that. What's wrong with you? Santa Blas will pop. You know how many bloods would buy that? Man, they got St. Brick.

No. St. Brick is a blood. See? You lay with it, Charlamagne. That's enough, man. We can't have too many gangbanging Santas

out there, man. So what happens when Christmas is over with Black Santa? So for us, we go into Martin Luther King holiday with just a campaign,

just affirmation, king, queen, dream, just calling each other kings and queens and telling little kids to dream. So, you know, just kind of like a mentorship program or a campaign where anybody who does anything successful, you just telling, you shouting out kids and telling them the dream, you can be anything. So it's just wanting to open up their minds and opportunities to jobs that's out there that they don't see. They only see the glitz

and the glamour, but if we can get everybody shouting out that message. And then t-shirts, hats with Black Santa, wearing a hat that says Queen to honor women and all the women in his life. So we want to do things to just continue to be thoughtful, bring people together. We got a coloring book coming in February for African-American History Month, which

will honor a lot of the, you know, past and also present legends that, you know, people don't really get an opportunity to hear their story. You know, it's almost like every African-American History Month, you know, it's the same stories. And then I was like, all right, all right, come on now, we out. You know, and for us, I think that it's a deeper dive into the culture. And that's basically why I created this company. It's like a treasure chest for African-American wealth and knowledge. Were you offended by referring to LeBron James' team as posse?

Some people were. I know Jay-Z just gave him Sports Illustrated Man of the Year award, and he referenced posse also. Do you think that was offensive? Yeah, for sure it's offensive. These kids came, they came in, people looking at them like a posse.

And from what they did, they grinded, they stay focused, and now they're at the top of their game. So, yeah, you come in as a posse, but you graduate to executive businessman. And, you know, I just shot them out because they proved everybody wrong. They did it together. And I just don't think it's right to classify them as that when, you know,

you got agents and people like that who are, you know, kind of shucking and jiving and juicing these players. And, you know, you got agents and people like that who are, you know, kind of shucking and jiving and juicing these players. And, you know, they get the utmost respect. So I don't think it's fair. You can have a posse of executive businessmen, though. Yeah, you can. Nobody ever says that. But I think Phil really was stuck in the 90s and just trying to sound cool.

And you see a group of black men, you want to sound cool. Like, oh, him and his posse. But also, you got to think that Phil is like the master manipulator and, you know, he's great at creating media attention to, you know, distract players and games and, you know, obviously I ain't gonna work with LeBron James, but

you know, he's done that to Shaq, he's done that to Kobe, call him out and you know, just to kind of stir some media up. What's the best team in the NBA now? The best team in the NBA to me is the Cleveland Cavaliers. Really? Over the Warriors? Yeah, well, the Warriors is playing the best basketball

and the most exciting basketball, but the Cavs are still the champs. You didn't really see that last year with the Warriors. You played for both squads, too. Yeah, I played for both franchises. Who got the best pussy in the cities? Cleveland? I feel like the girls in Cleveland do more because

they got nothing to do there. Shut up, man. You better stop disrespecting Cleveland. That was a bad time for me in Cleveland, man. It was cold. You just stayed home. I just stayed in my apartment. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee.

Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got Baron Davis in the building, former I just stayed in my apartment. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee. Shalameen the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got Baron Davis in the building, former NBA player. Nayee? Are you still trying to work to get back in the NBA? Yeah, I've still been, you know, dimming and dabbing. I think the hard part is staying focused on just that, you know, because basketball is like a full-time gig.

What you mean, getting back in the play? You going to play? No, you talking about coaching. You've been playing in the D League, though. I played in the D League last year. You want to get back in the league? Yeah. I mean, part of me for sure, because I left at 32.

You feel like you left something on the table. I feel like. I'm finished business. Yeah, I thought my career was over when I got hurt. And then I never thought that I'd be able to, like, walk and run and play again, and now I'm like, damn, dude, I can do it. I might as well try, but I've been trying, man, and it's taking a long time. How you been doing in the D-League? I did all right in the D-League.

I think I went the last two weeks of the season last year, but I'm not going to do it this year. I'm just going to work out and try and work out for some teams. I wish I would have did that last year. Isn't it crazy, though? Because it feels like it probably never leaves your system. Like, I mean, you've been doing it your whole life, literally. Kid, high school, middle school, college.

Like, do you ever feel like, okay, I'm retired now. I don't want to play no more ball. Never. Exactly. And to be honest, since I haven't been playing the last four years, it's been the worst thing in your life because you struggle with not just like, oh, I can't play, but it's just like the camaraderie. What do I do every day?

You know, the attention, you know, the routine. And, you know, you're just sitting there like, damn, dude, I have nothing. That's out there that's motivating me. You know, I don't have nobody really to connect to. All the dudes that I play with, they are in their life, living their NBA life. Look at the four. They go barren again. Want to hang.

You show up all happy. They're like, yeah, we know you ain't happy, fool. How hard is it to go from the NBA to the D-League? I'm sure you get treated not as great. No, I'm saying because it's not the same treatment. It's definitely not the same treatment. Like what's it like? For me, it was a rude awakening and it was

a great humbling experience for me because I'm, you know, it was like if I'm going to start I want to start from the bottom. So I wanted to start in the D-League and you know, feel that grind and what it felt like to just wake up every morning to practice with the young dudes and like, you know develop but, you know, you stand in and what it felt like to just wake up every morning to practice with the young dudes and like, you know, develop. But, you know, you stand in a quality inn with a roommate, you know, it's like, you

know, I was like, yo, I got a roommate. They're like, yeah, man, you got a roommate. I'm like, you have to. You can't get your own room. Like, I said, how much is the room? I was like, well, if we give you the discount, it's like fifty nine dollars. I said, man, I take four rooms. You know what I mean? Like, you're still sitting on some Ames, B,

right? Yeah, that's the whole point. That's the point. It's like, you know, you're flying, you're flying on propeller planes, sitting in the back. You're getting up at 4 o'clock, gotta get to the airport. You're checking your own bags in. I'm not saying, like, people don't do that for a living, but in the NBA, you know, you never have to fly private.

People take care of you. you get food on the plane, you never have to worry about that. But in the D League, it's like, man. It's none of that. No, it's none of that. No first class. No, no class. No nothing class. So the philanthropy doesn't, like, fill a void? Like, the whole, you know, Black Santa and stuff like that? Yeah, Black Santa

is kind of starting to be my basketball because it's giving me opportunity to, like, build a team around me. And then it's also giving me the feeling that you get when you give. So, you know, a lot of athletes, y'all yourselves, y'all do a lot of giving. So that's kind of like an emotional hit for you. But, you know, it's still like, for me, it's like finding the creative, creating the stories, creating characters, things like that. That has become, like, a place where I know I can go to every day

and have discipline and routine. But, you know, it took me a while to really, like, dive into that. So I know why athletes, like, go depressed and things like that. And having your family, too. I'm sure it's nice to be there for your son. Yeah. You know, I never had kids when I played in the NBA, so I didn't have kids after the NBA.

Oh, you had kids after? Yeah. Oh, you was definitely bored. It was working. But I got two boys, and it kind of just opened my eyes to all the stuff that I'm seeing now, especially like, what am I going to teach them? I ain't have a daddy. What do I say to them?

Things like that. So it's just like just trying to find different ways and watching other people. Parent is, for me, an opportunity to know, that's why I started this company, to be able to speak to my kids and draw that connection between father, son, mother, son, mother, daughter, father, mother. You know, I respect you, too, because when you had the jerry curl, right? You was like one of those first Internet sensations that got slandered ridiculously. But you held on to that curl until you was ready to get rid of it. It was an essence, you know? It was an essence.

Yeah, you didn't let nobody force you out that girl. Was there a statement behind that? I was in the moment. You know, I was just, I told all my homeboys, I said, yo, I don't know if I can ever grow hair again, but if I do, I got to grow a jerry curl. And so the jerry curl became my motivation for, like, working out, getting back on the court.

I was like, yo, if I can have a jerry curl and make it back to the NBA. I can do anything. I can do anything in life. That's the ultimate comeback. You know what I mean? Out there with the curl dripping on the court. The new AC Green. Yeah, and then the curls start drying up and start itching.

Yeah, because remember, jerry curls are distinct. I smell good. What you talking about? No, they don't. When you're getting that curl done, it don't smell too great. But when you throw the activ talking about? No, they don't. When you get in that curl, it don't smell too great, but when you throw the activator in, it's... Hell no. My cousin's ex-wife

used to f*** me when I was eight. And I used to like it, you know what I'm saying? But when she had got a jerry curl, I made her stop because I didn't like the smell. I'm dead ass serious. It was the smell of her jerry curl that made me say enough is enough. Now in 99, in 99, when you got drafted, the league was a lot tougher. Yeah.

You know, now it seems like it's a very easy league. They call a lot of quick fouls. It doesn't seem as tough as it is. What do you think about the league now? I just think it evolved. You know, one, they're out to protect the players and the longevity of, you know, guys getting injured. So the game has become a lot softer.

You know, the style is different. You know, the way teams are coaching, the way coaches are coaching. To me, it's a very copycat league. So you'll see a lot of, you know, trends. Like right now, everybody playing small ball. Eventually, somebody's going to have two dominant big men. And then the game is going to slow down, and then everybody will follow that coach.

But, you know, it's definitely got a little softer, but it's more exciting. You know, I think it's more exciting for the fans, and, you know, I think that's what the game needed. That's what makes you feel like you can come back because it's not as physical? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go out there for another couple years?

Yeah. I mean, you know, I played my whole career either injured or, you know, just trying to do everything I could for the team. And, you know, it just wore your body down. And now, you know, it's just really like pickup, playing up and down, shooting threes, going to the hall. I was like, damn. You know, I was born like five years too early, you know.

What was your favorite team you played for? I would say Charlotte and Golden State. Yeah, Charlotte was incredible because I was young, I was a rookie, and it was all about hoop, and I had a bunch of funny dudes on my team. I was the youngest guy, everyone on my team was married, had kids, so it was a great experience. And then Golden State, of course, the year we believe, was probably one of my favorite years

because just the team and the bond and the brotherhood was like incredible. Now you are a guard. Yes. You think you could stick Russell Westbrook or Curry or Irvin? I've been telling people this. Russell Westbrook dunked on me this summer, right? And then that was like the moment where I was like, you know what, dude?

I probably can't play in the NBA now. Russell Westbrook different, though. You can't compare yourself to Westbrook. Russell Westbrook different. I've never been dunked on like that. He made me feel like a kid. It's not fair, man. He made me feel like a kid.

How old are you now, 36? 36. 36, coming off a lot of injuries. Russell in the prime. Like, yeah, that's not a fair comparison. He barely hit me and sent me flying and dunking on me, and it was just like, yo, did he really do that? Like, did I really just got, you know, big boy like that?

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. We poppin' bottles. We got a special guest in the building who left Angela Yee a nice little love letter the other day. You shootin' your shot, bruh? He was just saying something nice. Something that y'all men need to learn from.

Something cool, you know? He was like, hey, babe, you look beautiful. He just made up a whole... Can you wear what you wore the other night? You wanna come see me? Nah. You're cool, you're bae, tournée. It was like, yo, you a sexy...

Just want you to know that. It was something along those lines Isn't that sweet Yeah I mean you wake up in the morning Y'all stuck it to a computer What you mean mine was better What he left you a note to

What you talking about What the hell you talking about Yours was better And I got him a gift You know cause his new album Damn Tar You don't play in the show I was

Nobody wanted to take a shot I was like Yo y'all gonna take I'm like yo y'all gonna take a shot Everybody stay silent Except Angela She was the only one That was ready to. I was like, yo, y'all gonna take a shot with me. Everybody stay silent. Except Angela. She was the only one that was ready to party. I said, yeah.

You better go get cups. I'm waiting on the cups. You just take them. Okay. He needs them now. Well, congrats on I told you. Thank you so much. Now, I was calling you Drake like, you know, for a minute.

And you were calling him Tory Taylor. I was calling you everything. Bryce. No, no, no. I still don't know the difference sometimes. But the album is good, but it sounds like you ain't developed your own sound yet, bro. Damn, you feel that way?

You sound like Trey sometimes. You sound like Fetty Wap on some records. Who else? What do you think that is? Who else? Probably just Fetty. Fetty Trey and a little Drake. I think there was one song that people were saying

that sounds reminiscent of Fetty Wap. Okay. But I don't know about the whole album and the cold hard love i like it it sounds like trato okay no but the album has gotten a really great reception i know i was jamming to it as well so thank you so much and thank and thank you to everybody who purchased the album whether or not it was like you know hard copy or online or streaming. Yeah. You know, I'm just thankful to be at this point of my life, my career.

I've always wanted to drop an album. So the fact that anybody has anything to say about it is just makes me happy. And you have three songs that are pretty big from off the album already, which a lot of artists will never see. You know, two successful, at least I would like to say the second one is, you know, on its way to success. I'd like to say I have two successful singles right now that I personally am proud of. And, you know, I'm just happy, like you said, that they came from the album and that, you know, this pushes the album and things of that nature.

You've always been a fan of 90s music? Of course. Because you say it and then everybody falls in love sometimes? Definitely. Yeah. Definitely. Everything. And that's that Toronto influence, too.

For sure. That West Indian, that Bayesian. He's had a Bayesian. You know, we go to the, because, like, you know, we grew up in, like, the culture of going to the basement jam. You know what I mean? All the parties. You did that in Toronto as well?

Why? We, like, the, well, I don't know how it was. Brooklyn and Queens. Yeah. We was like the, we was like the, we felt like we liked the home of that. Like, you know, because, like, that's where. A lot of West Indians. Yeah.

Like, that's how it always went in the North. It was like you always had a basement in your house or something like that. And that's where all the parties would be inside the house. So, um, nah, definitely. That's why Toronto ought to do so much patois. You moved around a lot. You were in Texas.

You were in a lot of different places in the U.S. as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely. But I was in Texas like a little bit later. Like I'm talking about when I was like in high school and stuff like that. That's when we were going to the gyms and like you know because my wife heard the uh the love joint the controller joint and she was like that's West Indian he was like he could pull that off without being true West Indian he's like she's Jamaican he was like he has to be true West Indian because it's hard for some people somebody that's not West Indian to

try to do that pass by it never sounds right no I'm, I'm actually Bajan. I'm just Jamaican by association. And he's Bajan to like, you know, oh, oh, oh, really? He's just Bajan. Oh, oh, oh, like for real? He called me Bajan.

Nah, I'm Bajan. Like, um, like my dad is Bajan and my mom is technically from Guyana, but she's from a Dutch country, so I'm Dutch. Carousel is where she's from.

Carousel, whatever. Now, how did Say It blow? Because, you know, Say It was a record that caught fast, nastily. It seemed like there was a lot of money behind it. Because before we knew your name and before we knew your face, the record came in. The thing about that record was that was just the first time that I finally had got a push from, like, a major standpoint. Like, I was putting out records like this from time, I want to say, like, if you go back into old records,

like, you go back to records like TLC that I had on the Chicks Tape 2, it's the same effect, you know what I mean? It's just like the records just kind of went over people's heads because nobody knew me. But did that bother you because they knew your record but not your face or your name? And he keeps saying nobody knows what you look like.

No, but no, no, no. But honestly, but honestly, up to his record is bigger than his face. Well, see, now it's a little different, I guess, because I guess. No, no, no, no. It's the truth. He's not lying, though, because before before this moment now, it was exactly like that. Now it's like I go anyway. If you're black, you just know me like or if you're like some type of somebody who looks like you listen to hip hop or music or some sort, you know me randomly.

But it's like beforehand, it was that exact problem. But I think my problem was I would never shot videos for the right songs or I never was consistent with my visual base because I'm such a picky guy. I take more into the pride of it. So I can't just do videos like this and post and stand in the corner because that's such a picky guy. I take more into the pride of it. So I can't just do videos like this and post and stand in the corner because that's just not my way. You know, I care more. So I think that was the problem back then. But now, you know, I'm on my... I don't know.

The girls think I'm pretty. Alright, we got more with Tory Lanez when we come back. We'll also find out why he did Drake's controller wreck it over. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ MV, Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha God, we are The Breakfast Club.

Tory Lanez is in the building. What made you do Drake's controller over? I like the song. Were you surprised that... Jack move. Were you surprised

that the feedback of controller? Because it caught, like it's one of the biggest records in the club. I thought you don't like Some people said they like it better than the original version.

Oh, wow, that's great, man. Nah, man, for me personally, like, you know, we treat the beats like it's like a yard thing. Like, we treat the beats like rhythms. Like, you know, you hop on them and you do your thing. But I know at one point you wasn't trying to talk about it. I got the keys that day, too. And I bodied that, too. But it's just, I guess people just reacted

to the... You said you didn't want to talk about Drake because you wanted to separate yourself. I mean, I just feel like the media kind of makes it such a thing to the point where it's like they just want me to feed into it at every point, and it's just not what it is, you know? You kind of do it on your own, though. I mean, I feel you, but... You did have a video with Philly.

When you was in Philly, man, you knew what you were talking to. We really out here in Philly. Real Toronto, we get out here in Philly. Not them other guys, you know what I'm saying? I don't even know what the f*** it is. We really be out here, you heard? Unlike you, I'm good in Philly. Real Toronto is going to get out here in Philly. Not them other guys, you know what I'm saying? I don't even know what the f*** it is. We really be out here, you heard? Unlike you,

I'm good in Philly. Nice try, buddy. You did that. Nice try. You did it. No, no, no, but I know what we're doing here. We're trying to

sneak into this subject. We're not going to do that. We're here to talk about the I told you that's out now. You would never bring it up if you didn't do stuff like that. I know I feel you, but I told you it's out now.

You have a lot of artist support too too, on your side, too. I saw a lot of artists promoting the album. I saw Rick Ross, Meek Mill. I saw Pusha T. A lot of other artists. Are these people that you have personal relationships, friendships with? Or is it just... Honestly, yeah.

I mean, honestly, I try to send music to everybody. I make hooks and stuff, and I write. So people have heard about me either through those weird ways or we've met each other in person, and it's always been love. I'm just happy for anybody who did post the album, especially all the MMG guys. They all just did it. There was a reason why they did that one.

I don't think so. I mean, Wale, I know personally, told him beforehand, and he saw me before all this. And how Wale got in trouble previously. Meek has just been my man for a long time. I've been making music with Meek since the Swavy mixtape,

which was like seven mixtapes ago. And Ross, I just met him randomly and I think the reason why he may have posted my album was because randomly, like the first time I really actually met him, we was in Miami.

I don't know how, I randomly had the album in the car that I was just met him, we was in Miami. I don't know how. I randomly had the album in the car that I was just in, so I was randomly listening to it. When he walked out of Studio 23, boom, and then someone was like, yo, this is Tori, this is Ross, and we met each other, and he was like, yo, anything you need, I got you. But I think it was off the level of you had mine,

and I support yours, you know? I don't think it was a calculation or something like that. Let's talk about your goon days, because I'm listening to the album. You used to be gooning. You broke into somebody's house? I mean, I don't want to sit here and talk about exacting details, but... You did on the album!

Yeah, but see, that's the thing. That's why you should copy the album, because the album has, you know, stories that I wouldn't necessarily come in an interview and just talk about, because there's not things to gloat about. It's a change. Of course. And that's the whole point of the album.

It's to show people from where we came. And that's the thing. A lot of people have this misconception about Canada and about Toronto. What do you mean, misconception? I love Toronto. And I do too. But I think people have a misconception of how rough it is out there for us when we grow up and the things

in the politics that we still deal with that people don't think we deal with. But I'm not here to greasy up Canada. That's not what I'm here to do, but I am here to tell the real stories and to talk the stories that we go through as young men in Canada, you know?

Most men I know love Toronto. Especially because of the women. Yeah, because of the women. That's because they're going downtown. They're having a great time. They're going downtown, partying at nice clubs and doing great things. But when we're growing up, we're not doing that.

Right. Like, we're not in any of those clubs, and we're definitely not downtown in the inner city. That's just not what we're doing. You know what I mean? You're in your own neighborhood, and you're pushed back, and you're in, you know what I mean? And you go through what you go through,

and the city's so small that there's just no escaping anything. So at this point, it's like all the young, young kids, I'm who they look up to. I'm the person that they look up to, say to, yo, I seen him. I was out there and saw him. I remember when he didn't have that ring, that watch, that bracelet. You know, but for real, people feel like that. Like, I remember when he was sleeping on my couch.

And that other bracelet. How many couches you slept on, dog? A lot of couches. A lot of couches, man. A lot of back seats. A lot of back seats a lot of like yo nah real talk like like i lived in a lot of cars and i slept on a lot of couches bro i was at a lot of people's houses and i told a lot of people to believe in this and and you know a lot of people didn't believe in it a lot of people just looked at me and was like you can't foresee this this

thing that you see you know and that's why we're here at this point, and I told you it's out, and that's what I told you it's for. It's for all the doubters, the naysayers. Do you guys get along? Do your Toronto artists get along? I get along with everybody. I don't actually, like, that's the thing. People think I have a... You gotta stop drinking and doing videos in Philly, telling people they can't come there, but then coming to the

Burger Club and saying you get along with everybody. Nice try, buddy. I'm talking about every artist, whether it's Justin Bieber, whether it's Bell try buddy whether it's uh justin bieber whether it's belly whether it's whoever it may be weekend no no i mean that's what i'm saying like i get along with everybody i don't have a problem with anybody in toronto somebody has a problem with me that's different but for me i personally don't have a, like, beef with me. You're going to know when I have beef with somebody. Because one of us is just falling out. The crews, you're going to start seeing people missing from either my crew or his crew.

That's just, you're going to know when I have a beef with somebody. I don't have a beef with nobody, you know? Why do you want to make people disappear? He said he doesn't. That's not what I said. I'm just saying, that's just how it is. If it was beef, we would be... Toronto feels like how New York used to be

where nobody got along and everybody did their own thing. Don't get me wrong. Everybody does do their own thing, but that's why I'm saying if it was beef, you know when it's beef because then we just start playing scoreboard. And nobody wants to play scoreboard. Who wants to do that?

We want to get money. We want to get money. We came out here to get money and be young. You know what I'm saying? Live our life. That's all. Alright, there you have it. Charlamagne the devil? Possibly. That's pretty funny. Charlamagne the devil? Possibly. The Breakfast Club.

He has donkey today. Here goes the NFL player Alden Smith. Now Alden Smith is a troubled young man who is currently suspended from the NFL for numerous transgressions. I mean, trouble seems to follow Alden Smith, whether it's ranging from drunk driving to being stabbed at his own house party and sued by a man who claimed to be shot at the same party. He was arrested for another DUI, booked for marijuana.

He took a leave of absence and went to rehab. He's been charged with three felony counts of illegal possession of an assault weapon. After his second DUI in 20 months, he admitted himself into rehab again. He got arrested at LAX for making comments to a TSA agent implicating that he had a bomb. Then he got suspended nine games. Then he was arrested again for an alleged hit and run, DUI and vandalism. And currently

he is suspended by the NFL for one calendar year for violating his substance abuse policy. Now, when you're suspended from the league, you can't participate in any illegal activity, which seems to be a hard thing for Alden Smith to not do. OK, when you are suspended from the league for violating the substance abuse policy, the last thing you should be doing is abusing substances. Now, Alden Smith is 26 years old, so he's a no-nigger.

And, you know, they move a little different than us 80s babies. And I've gotten to the point in my life where I don't chastise kids for what they don't know because they're kids. You're not stupid because you don't know, you know, because you don't know things. You're stupid for what you aren't willing to learn. And Alden Smith is stupid, okay, because he seems like he refuses to learn. Now his latest incident is in the running for donkey of the year. Like this is a high level hee-haw status. It's an alleged periscope video floating around that belongs to alden smith which shows a man and a woman off camera engaged in and discussing a fire obsession fire obsession is them smoking a blunt now i'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary no pun intended i tell y'all this all the time but i think that

if i'm suspended from the league for substance abuse, the last thing I should be doing is abusing substances, especially abusing substances on social media. When will you all realize that the things you do online will affect your dumbass offline? Okay, contrary to your popular belief, when you are on Periscope and Facebook Live and Snapchat, whatever you're using to record yourself, when you are on these platforms, we can see you. Okay, we can hear you you're not

hiding but this story gets better i know what you're saying charlemagne how could this be in the running for donkey of the year he smoked a blunt on periscope people smoke blunts on periscope all the time b well being suspended from the league alden smith he's saying it's not him he actually tweeted out good try not me well let's listen to this video because we have the audio Mr. Not Me this is what you call a fire obsession you shouldn't even be posting that

do you see my face no but what is it they don't have my name this is just a fire obsession so if you just put it on there and it's just doing it it's live shut up you held it stupid you trying to smoke fam they don it, it's live, that's hella stupid. Shut up. You hella stupid.

You trying to smoke, fam? They don't know it's me. It's not like I put Alden Smith. Excuse me? Say what? Come again? We didn't hear you the first time? They don't know it's me.

It's not like I put Alden Smith. Oh, it's not like you put what? What? They don't know it's me. It's not like I put Alden Smith. It's not like I put Alden Smith? Okay, so Alden Smith, who posts from this Periscope account all the time, who has other videos up on this account, is on this account smoking a blunt,

says it's not him on Twitter, but says it's not like it's him on the video. Let me hear that one more time. They don't know it's me. It's not like I put Alden Smith. Okay. All right. Okay. I don't care how good a pass rusher Alden Smith is.

He doesn't deserve the privilege of playing in the NFL no time soon. He's about to be 27. I don't know when maturity will kick in for this young man, but he shouldn't be allowed back in the league until he can prove that it has. You are not doing Alden Smith or the world any favors by continuing to pay him. I tell you all the time, money doesn't change you. It just multiplies whatever you are. Okay.

And Alden Smith needs no assistance when it comes to being a donkey. In fact, a donkey with dollars just feels untouchable and invincible, so he will continue to do donkey things. So you have to suspend him indefinitely from the league, let his money dry up, let him humble himself, and let him hit rock bottom, and then we can discuss him playing in the league. Alden Smith has taken for granted an opportunity

that millions of kids across the country wish they had. And if he loses it all, I don't feel sorry for him one bit, and neither should you. And if you do, let's listen to this Periscope video one more time, please. The whole thing, please. Just one more time. Oh, boy. This is what you call a fire obsession.

You shouldn't even be posting that. Do you see my face? No, but what is it? They don't have my name. This is just a fire obsession. Oh, boy. Just put to be you trying to smoke fam they don't know it's me it's not like i put alden smith oh okay so it's not him oh my goodness wow please give ald Alden Smith the biggest he are. He don't know no better. Wow. He don't know no better. Alright, now that's like, and then

the fact that somebody on the video said, told him you shouldn't be doing this on video, told him he's hella stupid, and then he know you're hella stupid. Like, wow. Oh my goodness. That's heartbreaking. Well, we don't know that it's him. It's not like he said Alden Smith.

Come on, Yee. They don't know it's me. It's not like I put Alden Smith. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest.

This is the only guest in Breakfast Club history that has ever smoked a beer. And you're not going to tell Snoop Dogg no. No. Did we get in trouble for that? No. No. Snoop Dogg! Hey! We just had a healthy debate with Drama.

Is Snoop the most famous rapper in the world? I said yes. Globally. He said no matter where you go in this world, no matter who it is, race, age, everybody knows Snoop Dogg. I said it was between you and Hope. He said you are the biggest brand. I don't know.

It's like an out-of-body experience for me. It's hard for me to say because I live with me every day. So I don't know who the biggest rapper is globally, but I do know that when I do go certain places, it's hard to try to camouflage, disguise, whatever. Even Baby Girl at the front desk, I just gave her another picture. What's her name? Miss Anita.

That's my baby. She smoked, too, so slip her a little something. That's my baby. She got that. I give her a nip. I give her a nip. When's the last time you've been somewhere and haven't been recognized? Has that happened?

See, it doesn't happen. On some real talk, I'm being honest with you. I don't even remember the last time it's been like that. I done been to grocery stores, churches, underwater. Underwater. I didn't even, look, this is the crazy part. I done been and done some, you know, homeless work where you go down there and feed the homeless

and the homeless be like, Snoop Dogg, what's happening, dog? I'm like, man, how do you know me? You ain't got no TV. You ain't got no what you think. I don't know. I can't figure it out. The illest thing about your brand and your image is that you always you. You smoke your weed.

You rep your gang. And it still transcends all races. Brands still won't be in business with you. It's fun. Charlamagne, what I represent is fun. I had to come to realize that everything I do in life is based on fun. And when people get out with me, they know that they're buying fun or they're being a part of fun. So that's what it's all about.

I learned to live for the right reasons. Stop being so mad and having that negative energy. Even if people did me wrong, I learned to forgive and forget. See, forgiveness. There we go again. It's hard for me. I'm dealing with that one. I can show you. I can show you. There we go again. It's hard for me. I'm dealing with that one. I can show you. I can show you.

It's a hard thing to do, but at the same time, it makes you feel better when you forgive and you move forward and your life is right and you're not worrying about what they're doing and you're doing what you're doing. I was listening to Norrie's Drinks Champs podcast. Oh, that was a great one. Yes, Luke DeNoy. I was surprised you said you and Suge Knight are like, cool now. Real cool. Really? Yeah, we

had a long three, four hour conversation once upon a time where I met with him. That is some forgiveness. That's some forgiveness. He was trying to kill you. Yeah, he was. And the thing was, when I seen him, I was like kind of slipping. I was like, you know, doing what I wasn't supposed to be doing. And he slid up behind me.

And instead of me reacting the wrong way, I just went into my regular mode. Like, you know what? I'm going to lay, move up to the side with me. You can go upstairs and meet. And we went upstairs and chopped it up for like three, four hours and got caught up on some real love because it wasn't never that he hated me. I just think he was just disappointed that he couldn't control me. Right.

You know what I'm saying? When you got a record label and you got artists, and I've done this before, you really want control of that artist. But some artists deserve their own control and their own lane, and you got to give it to them. He had to try to kill you, though. I'm from the West Coast. It comes with the rules

and regulations of the game. You know, I knew the job was dangerous when I took it. No, it was serious. For everybody out there, like, Snoop had security guards. Like, to meet Snoop back in the day,

this might have been like 15 years ago, you had to, it was a vetting process. As it should be. Like, it was scary. Especially after Parkin Bigg just got killed.

It was scary. To forgive him, if Snoop could forgive Shug, I think I might be able to forgive anybody. Yeah, but you got to learn how to love yourself first. You know what I'm saying?

If you a loving person, you can't go around hating people because then that's not love. Right. So it was like, how could I hate him, especially that he down now?

You know, this would be the perfect time for me to kick him because he all the way down. But, you know, this is the time for me to be there for him and be his friend,

be love because you never know when you're going to be there for him and be his friend, be loved, because you never know when you're going to be down and out. And you just have adjusted to this social media era so well. Like, it's a famous meme, but it got you with your head scarf on. Oh, I look like somebody auntie? Hey, Charlamagne, I don't care, though. One thing about me...

You post it, you be posting it. When people make fun of me, when they clown me, when they put me in a girl body with my head on it or with a rabbit suit on, I see it, I throw it up, and I'm like, who did this to me? And I go right into the joke, so I don't understand when people get offended when I do that to them, when I do it to myself. It's like, it's all fun and games to me.

As long as it's funny, it should be okay. That's what it should be about. You know, when I got into the social media game, I didn't really understand it because I was like, I don't really want people in my business like that. But then I was like, damn, I'm the type of person that always go up to the fans, always do this anyway, so I might as well just open up and, you know, let them be a part of my world every day.

You got some type of zen with you, man. Like, you had to have some therapy or something. Just always you been this way? You know what? I think I always had it in me. It just had to come out of me. I've been able to talk to some of the greatest people in the world, from Muhammad Ali to Louis Farrakhan to

Tookie Williams to Quincy Jones. I've been able to talk to some of the greats. James Brown, where I've been able to have long, in-depth conversations with them, and they said certain things to me that helped me find who I am. And you know, there's certain things about legendary people and people and their legacies.

Once you meet somebody that's a legend and they tell you you're a legend, there's something about that that you got to start patterning your game around them. Like what I loved about Ali and some of these people that I named, that they were bigger outside of what they did than what they did. You know, I'm a great rapper, but you forgot about that right now because I'm doing so many other things. So that's what I want to be known for, all of the great things that I do outside of rapping. That's what it feels like. It feels like rapping for you is just like a side hobby to just the Snoop brand.

It's a layup drill. You understand me? Or a dunk contest when I need to get involved. You know, when I see somebody out there doing some new dunks and I'm like, okay, well, let me see if they're ready for this move right here. Now you and Martha Stewart are teaming up. What you know about that, Ashley? You been reading the news? Yes. I mean, I think

that's crazy. A dinner party with Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg. Why is that crazy? They both been to jail. They both got arrested. Why is that crazy? They got stuff to talk about. I just can't imagine. It's just, I don't know. But Martha is so, she's a beautiful person. I see why all the homegirls

in jail loved her, because she is such a beautiful spirit. Like, I see why all the homegirls in jail loved her, because she is such a beautiful spirit. She's down to earth. She's loving. And she understands the dynamics of having a good time. So me and her having, you know, this dinner party, you know, atmosphere is beautiful, because you wouldn't expect what you would expect. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Snoop Dogg is in the building. Now, we've seen a video of you and Game walking to the precinct in L.A. What was that all about? Explain that. Why did you guys have to, felt like you had to do it? Well, the morning before it happened, Game, it hit me,

and he was, like, on 100. And he was hot, and I was hot. We was just mad at all of the violence that was happening to these innocent people by the police. So, you know, I was ready to do whatever. So I was basically following his lead because I felt like it's a young man's game and he's younger than me and he's going to take the lead and I'm going to follow this soldier. When he hit me back, I told him, I said, look, I don't want you to overreact. I want you to think about everything that you're going to do and put a real plan together and hit me when you get your

plan together and I'm with you. So then he went and made a call to Farrakhan for three hours and did all the things he had to do to prepare himself. Then he hit me back at about 3 in the morning and was like, meet me here at 5 in the morning. He didn't say nothing else. So I'm like, I don't know what's going on, so I got dressed to go to war. Yeah, you look like you was ready to win. You had on the chucks, the slant on.

Hold on, you didn't even say, let's think about this at all. He just gave. When you get the back call, Charlamagne, you just show up. I wasn't going to be putting my shoes on. I'm going to hold on. I'll be there. I was there. So when I get there, I'm fully loaded and ready to go.

And I'm looking around. They passing off shirts and everybody on peace. And he got us all in a circle. And he said something that was so deep. He was like, you know what? I didn't even know what I was going to do when I i came here but now that i'm looking at the spirit of everything this is what i want to do and i want y'all to follow me on this i want us to walk down to the precinct to the precinct and reintroduce ourselves to the police department and let them reach and

reintroduce themselves to us so we can get some sort of dialogue going and we listened to him we was like man that is that's kind of dope because we never talk to the police unless it's too late. Let's get that understanding right now. So while we're walking down there, police escorting us there. Then when we get there, come to find out, the new recruits are graduating right now about to go hit the streets in a matter of 24

hours. And we're standing outside. And the chief of police is there and the mayor is there. So they hear that we're outside marching peacefully with the Nation of Islam with us. So they send a word that the chief of police is there, and the mayor is there. So they hear that we're outside marching peacefully with the Nation of Islam with us. So they send a word that the chief would love to meet with me, Game, and two other of our people with the mayor behind closed doors. So we went up there, talked with them, chopped it up,

got some understanding, wasn't arguing, wasn't talking bad, wasn't downplaying them. We was trying to get some understanding and some dialogue. They had a couple of meetings since then, and it's looking like it's going to be a great situation in L.A. with the police and the communities because we're sick and tired of talking after the fact when we can talk before the fact.

It's been going on forever, especially in L.A. The first time that we ever saw real police violence was the Rodney King take. But it's never been communication. And one thing about L.A., we have sheriffs and we have police department. The sheriff's department have minor incidents because they are sent to the county jail for 18 months as a part of their training before they hit the streets. The LAPD don't get no communication with the streets until they hit the streets.

So there's a miscommunication off the jump. If you're scared, you never dealt with nobody from the hood. You don't know what he look like, how he get out. You already got a different perception on him. But if you've been in the county jail, you've been around him, you know they lingo, they know you. It's a different perspective. When the sheriffs pull up, all the sheriffs want is doping guns.

If you ain't got no dope or no guns, they letting you go, they not gonna shoot you. Well, they don't shoot you that much. But they not gonna shoot you on GP. The LAPD, they got a different agenda. So we was trying to get that understanding on, let's get some different protocols so they can be around these people in the community before they start policing this community. Did you learn how to de-escalate stuff? Like, probably during, like, do you wish you had that same mentality during the whole East Coast, West Coast fiasco?

I think I did at the Source Awards. That was a perfect example of de-escalation because Suge Knight had it escalated to, I seen people reaching for pistols and I seen pistols in there. There was no police security. It was all hood security. It was New York versus Death Row Records at that point. And my conversation on that stage

brought New York to a point to where they said, you know what? We're going to let y'all get out of here. To us, that looked hostile. It was very hostile because it was me saying that I know where I'm at, but at the same time, y'all know this is gangster rap that we do.

We don't just talk it, we live it. So if you're really, really in the mix, this is what takes place in the mix. And at that time, Puffy wasn't with it like that. He was making his music. He wasn't with the, you know, I ain't with the rah-rah. I'm with the music.

Suge was with the rah-rah. And it's like, you know, it was a fine line because Puffy then was my friend. But I'm riding with Death Row. And at the same time, I'm in New York. So it's like, if I don't say the right words, we all going to get killed. Damn. So why come back and kick the buildings over? Because something happened.

Because something happened that I ain't gonna speak on that we took that on the chin and said we'll just get it back on this side. You know what I'm saying? Like when you involved into the art of war, certain losses you take, certain, you know, sacrifices you make, it come with

the territory. And we knew where it came from. We knew who sent the shot. And we never had a problem with him. We allowed that to happen because we knew in the art of war, that's what happens when you're getting busy. You gotta take what you get. You know what I'm saying? So it's like we lived through it. We survived it. We forgave and we forgot.

And we moved forward. The parties that was involved, we met behind closed doors and we gotta understand it. Yeah, I know you sent that at me. That was a good shot you missed, though. I forgive you. We're going to move forward. I ain't going to send nothing at you when you're on my side. We gravy? We gravy? We good. Can you tell the story

about Nas, man? That was the first time you met Nas, you said? Yeah, the first time I met Nasty Nas, I was in Gardena on I think it was 36th, 35th, one of those streets. And that's a crip neighborhood. Yeah, shotguns. And I was out there hanging tough with my homeboys,

and a white van pulls up, and it got like about 15, 16 people in it. All of a sudden, the door opened. Oh, some dude jumped out. His sweatpants was lifted up to his knee with some boots on. And he still had red sweats on. He got on all red. Running right towards me. So the homies was like, they all

putting a drawdown on him. I'm like, hold on, that's the rapper from New York. That's Nasty Nas, cuz. So he come over to me and he shake my hand. I'm like, it's a pleasure to meet you, but let me let you know. When you ever in LA, don't ever jump out with no red or no blue on

because you don't know what neighborhood you in, loved one. Take my number down so I'll holler at you next time you come to the city. Crazy, because I'll tell you the time Nas pulled out a gun on me. I ran up on Nas like that. What? I ran up on Nas. I had mixtapes in the bag. I ran up on him just like that.

You're Nas, I got something for you. And I was going in my bag to pull it out. Not a good idea. By the time I came out here, he had the gun on me. That doesn't sound sketchy. What you got for me? I said, it's a CD. I got something for you. And I was going in my bag to pull it out. Not a good idea. What you got for me? I said, it's a CD. I said, you got something for me. I got something. What you got? What you got for me?

You used to roll like that at one point. You used to have a briefcase. Yeah, all that old stuff, man. Hey, Charlamagne, I'm peace now. What I understood about moving with the peace, when I had the gun, have gun, problems will travel. You know what I'm saying? They say have gun, will travel. Have gun, problems will travel. When I removed the gun, have gun problems, we'll travel. You know what I'm saying? They say have gun, we'll travel.

Have gun problems, we'll travel. When I removed the gun from my game, I had less issues because I was able to finesse and able to be more strategic with my conversation.

When I had the gun with me, I was, you know, reckless. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Snoop Dogg's in the building now.

Charlamagne? Now, you said you first smoked weed with your son, right? My oldest son. Your oldest son. Yeah. We did that questionnaire on The Breakfast Club, I think. Would you smoke weed with your child to keep him from doing it in the street? Yeah, because like I say, you know, what I'm going to give him is the righteous way.

I don't know what y'all going to put in there. You may lace it. You know, it may be. I don't know because it happened to me before. I've been laced with some things, so I don't trust the game. So I would rather get him, you know, school for me personally on the understanding of what is and what not and what to do and what not to do. I think they did that to you on purpose because they know you Snoop.

And everybody want to outsmoke Snoop. So let me lace this blunt real quick just to say I outsmoke Snoop. I don't even take blunts from people no more. You know, I used to be in the crowd. I used to be reckless, man. I'd be in the crowd and they'd hand me a blunt. I'd be like, oh. But then I'd start looking at these people like, ugh.

I'm cold. I'm cold. I'm going to tell you how you influenced me recently. We were having a cookout and I was going to make some turkey franks. Oh, ugh. And then my friend was like, you got to see Snoop finding out what is in these hot dogs and you're not going to eat that again. You know we threw the pack of Franks out.

Give me some. Tell us what's in the hot dog and turkey Franks. No, it ain't. That's the same. For real? It's the same machine, man. It's nasty, man. Did you see that?

You have to see it. It'll make you never eat it again, I'm telling you. It's horrible, man. I can't get out. I used to come to New York. My hotel got a hot dog man that stood right on the corner. Me and Cub been cool for 20 years. I don't even look at him no more.

I just walk right past him. He's like, Snoop, my hot dogs are waiting for you. No, I'm good, cuz. I seen what y'all doing. I'm cool on you. DMX was here a few weeks ago. He ate four of them. I saw that.

No, he didn't. He threw up immediately. No, he did. Four of them right on the corner. He was, he didn't. He threw up immediately. No, he did. Four of them right on the corner. He was drunk, ate four, and threw up immediately. But they gave him a whole bottle. He drank a whole bottle of Henny, and then he was hungry. Then he had four hot dogs threw up all over the street.

That's my dog, right? He's the only person that ever got me to drink Hennessy at an awards show. Wow. And I mean at an awards show that's on TV. Like, we was at the Grammys or something. He was sitting, like, two seats down, and he had a Hennessy bottle. He was just, Big Dog, you want some?

And I couldn't even say no. I was like, yeah, get in here, cuz. And I'm like, whoa. And we sitting up in there getting drunk in the Grammys in front of all these white folks with real Hennessy, no cups, straight out the bottle. Shout out to DMX for keeping it hood. Snoop, you ain't never cared about your image

in front of white folks. I saw you on Jim McKim where you said gangster rap is back. I don't think it ever left because you got to look at everybody that's winning right now. All they're doing is rapping gangster. You know, there's always going to be some different styles of rap. That's what I say that we don't understand. But they didn't understand me when I came out. You know, when I was a young man, 18, 19 years old,

they had a different perspective on me where politicians was running over my CDs and they was doing things. See Dolores Tucker. Oh, come on, man. It was coming at me and Tupac like we was the craziest men in the world and Ice-T. So now to see me and Ice-T in a position now where white America politicians respect us and love us and, you know, appreciate us. It's a crazy game. But you got to understand that hip hop will revolve and it never will change. It's going to do what it's supposed to do. It's going to grow. It came from New York. It's going to game, but you got to understand that hip-hop will revolve, and it never will change. It's going to do what it's supposed to do.

It's going to grow. It came from New York. It's going to come back home to South. We really got a chokehold on the game right now. We just was talking about that, too. The South going on a damn, it might be the longest run ever. Are the 90s West Coast or the 90s New York? They got a chokehold on the game because you got to remember,

they were the ones who were disrespected the most. They were the ones who was always, you know, kicked to the curve and overlooked. Ultra disrespect. You know, their music, their country bunkers, they this, they that. Really, the West was the only ones who really appreciated them

because we all came from there. Actually, everybody came from the South, but we felt more connected to them because more of our South roots were still in the South so we could identify with the Southern rappers. And now I'm looking at them rocking and controlling the game for so long, it don't look like they're going to give it up

because now they got everybody rapping like them. When you do that, when you get your style and your DNA, when everybody start rapping like the South, nobody ever thought that would happen. Right. That's what's happening right now. Desiigner, OT Genesis, all them songs sound like they could be South records. All up there.

Is this Death Row biopic happening after Straight Outta Compton? I know they've been talking about it, and are you on board with doing that? I don't know about the Death Row biopic, but I've seen Tupac All Eyes on Me, and that's bomb. It's good? Do they have somebody in the movie that actually looks like you? Because the guy in Straight Outta Compton did not look like you at all. Could he act like me? Not really.

But you 101, though. I'm watching a movie like you? Because the guy in Straight Outta Compton did not look like you at all. Could he act like you? Not really. But you 101 though. I'm watching a movie like you. I'm eating popcorn on my part too. Nah, but the Tupac movie looked good. It's very well put together. It's emotional. It felt good watching the screen. It felt very good. The Death Row one, would you be on deck with that?

The only way I would do a Death Row movie is if me and Suge Knight told the story through our eyes. No Dre? Wouldn't need Dre eyes. Dre did it

straight out of Compton. It's just because I feel like Snoop and Suge was the tension and the excitement of Death Row. You know what I'm saying? If you told it

through our eyes, then you would get what people want to see when it comes to death row. Dre's eyes on death row wasn't really what you really want to see. That's why he left. We was the ones who was making it move and keeping it popping.

Dre was basically trying to find a way out, and then he found a way out, and he left. We was dealing with the politics of gangbanging, the politics of infrastructure being wrong. Some of my homies didn't like his homies. Some of my homies shot at his homies. He shot at some of my homies. It was like, it was a lot of,

and then we had to become cool, and then we became uncool, and he paid some of my homies to be down with him, and it was just, that to me is the better story because now we cool now, so we can sit in a room and we can tell the truth on what it was and how we got to where we are now. You executive producing Bow Wow's last album?

Yeah, yeah. You put it out there? Yeah, yeah. That's my little homeboy. I'm going to try to get him all the way right because I feel like he's still got something to say. What are you going to talk about at this point, though? We got to figure that part out.

There can't be no gangsta stuff. No, you're not going to believe that. That's what you're not going to believe. That's why I think I need to be there to help shape and mold it and make sure it's very believable because it's unbelievable if it's gangsters.

We appreciate you joining us, Snoop. I love when Snoop comes up here. I know. We could talk to Snoop all day. I'll be watching y'all too. Y'all know that, right?

I'll be tuned in. I don't get to listen to y'all because I'm in California. Thanks for putting us on the album, by the way. Y'all like that, huh? Absolutely. And I didn't pay y'all either.

Y'all like that, huh? Look what the label said. The label was like, we're going to have to get this't pay y'all either. Y'all like that, huh? He sure didn't. Look what the label said. The label was like, we're going to have to get this clear. I said, man, we ain't going to have to pay them nothing. When they hear this,

that's what they're going to get paid off, hearing this. We were hype. I'm not going to lie. They sent the email. We was like, you got to ask? Like, hell yeah,

put it on there. But the labels be so, they be so concerned with, you know, making sure that, I'm like, man, this is my family right here, man. I wouldn't have put them on there

if they wasn't family, man. This is what we do. What are we going to do, sue Snoop? Nope. We'd be the biggest mother in the world. It has happened, though. Nah. Charlamagne.

Nah. Charlamagne, I done a conversation with somebody where a dude called me, telling me how much he loved me, and whoop-de-whoop-whoop-whoop, and I put it on the album. Three weeks later, he sued me. No, man. 25 racks. Now, let's rethink this breakfast club,, he sold me. No, man. 25 racks. Now, let's rethink this breakfast club now.

Let's rethink this breakfast club. 25 racks. Now, hold on. He didn't say all that. I'll get y'all some free tickets when I perform out here. But I saw you getting sued for Ain't No Fun. For real? Yeah, I just saw that on TMZ.

What happened? Some artist is saying that they had a song and they was going to put it out, the hook, and then you guys took it. Ain't no fun. Nate Dogg's 30 years old. 30 years old. And Nate Dogg is rest in peace, so now they're going to disrespect my homeboy.

Now, I might have to go gangsta on this one right here. Don't do this. I'm not even going to pay no attention to the edge. I think you're trying to get me riled up. You want me to leave out here with an attitude. I did see that somewhere. Yeah, I did see it. For real?

Somebody lying. Because actually, Warren G and Daz came up with that song when I did see that somewhere. Yeah, I did see it. For real? Somebody lying. Because actually, Warren G and Daz came up with that song when we was living in Culver City and it was a whole another beat because we had

W Balls was our radio station that we was working before we had a deal. Yeah, we had a radio station where we would give out the number and people would call in

and we would, you know, do our thing from our house. Oh, that was real? For real. Oh, I thought that was a made up station. For real, Dr. Drake took that idea and I mean, I heard that on the album. For real, Dr. Drake took that idea and made it

what it sounded like on the album. Isn't it crazy how all the stuff that y'all did back then, whether it was Bob Felicia and Friday or these nuts that came all the way back around. They never really went. And these people think they made it up. Yeah. This dude, Welvin the Great, gonna try to get me with these nuts with his raggedy mouth.

And I reversed the charges on him and hit him with the nuts with his raggedy mouth and I reversed the charges on him and hit him with the game and he was like, I'm like, yeah, homie, you're not gonna get me. I created this.

And he was confident. He was a puppy, though. He was a little puppy when that was going on. You know what I'm saying? So he didn't know no better. Isn't this crazy? Well, Snoop D-O-W-G.

Thank you for joining us. Man, thank y'all for having me, man. This is one of my favorite shows to do. Just because y'all always keep it 100, y'all keep it real. Y'all solid with me. I've done interviews with y'all individually and together, and I love what y'all stand for. Continued success.

I'm glad to see y'all on the real TV network, too. Thank you, my brother. It's the Breakfast Club. It's Snoop Dogg. Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine.

I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets.
