1. 0:00 – 2:12

   Snoop’s longevity formula: authenticity, fun, and ignoring public judgment

   1. JRJoe Rogan0:00

      (drumming music plays) Joe Rogan podcast. Check it out.

   2. NANarrator0:04

      The Joe Rogan Experience.

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:06

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night. All day. (heaven by bobby womack plays) First of all, it's an-

   4. SDSnoop Dogg0:14

      Yes sir.

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:14

      ... it's an honor and a privilege. An honor and a privilege.

   6. SDSnoop Dogg0:17

      No, it's my privilege and it's my honor. This is-

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:19

      This-

   8. SDSnoop Dogg0:19

      ... pure motivation, Joe.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:20

      Very few human beings that have managed to do as many things as you have, and to do it as ... Y- y- you've been relevant for f- f- fucking decades, man. It's incredible.

   10. SDSnoop Dogg0:31

       Man, I work hard and I hardly know it.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:32

       I know you do.

   12. SDSnoop Dogg0:33

       (laughs)

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:35

       You do.

   14. SDSnoop Dogg0:36

       But-

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:36

       You know what the thing, the key to it all is, Joe? What?

   16. SDSnoop Dogg0:38

       Everything that I do and everything that I've done has been based around fun. So-

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:42

       Mm-hmm.

   18. SDSnoop Dogg0:43

       ... the fun element has always been the, the key factor, like it has never been money motivated, it's always been, "Man this is fun to do and I love doing it." And then it was so fun, that it ended up making me fun.

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:55

       Hmm. Well you've made, you've managed to make a career out of being yourself.

   20. SDSnoop Dogg0:58

       Right.

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:59

       That's where, that's where it's amazing.

   22. SDSnoop Dogg1:01

       Yeah, but that's the easiest job everybody got, just to wake up in the morning and do you.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:05

       Yeah, but so many people have a hard time doing that publicly.

   24. SDSnoop Dogg1:09

       Right, because it's so, it's so easy to want to be like something that's out there that feels like it's easier to do and it's more impressionable and it's a easy follow. When you wake up and do yourself, that's just the, the organic thing that you were built with that you know how to do in your sleep.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:27

       It's true, but it's this, it's hard for people to be themselves publicly, you know. They try so hard and they think about their image, they try so hard to, you know, cultivate something and ...

   26. SDSnoop Dogg1:39

       I, I know 'cause I've been around those kind of people that gotta hide and then all of a sudden, soon as the lights go off, then they wanna come hang out with you and let their hair down and they start explaining to you how they can't, they can't... "Man, I wish I could do what you do." You can do whatever you wanna do, you just-

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:53

       Yeah.

   28. SDSnoop Dogg1:53

       ... worried about what people are gonna say as opposed to the way you feel. I don't worry about what people say. Long as I feel good, I'ma keep doing it.

   29. JRJoe Rogan2:00

       That's the way to do it. I think by your example many more people can learn. They could figure out a way to live their life authentically.

   30. SDSnoop Dogg2:08

       If it feel good to you, must be good for you.
2. 2:12 – 7:24

   Backwoods, blunt craft, and remembering Charlie Murphy’s fearless honesty

   1. JRJoe Rogan2:12

      What about heroin? (laughs) Hey.

   2. SDSnoop Dogg2:14

      I ain't, uh, look, I ain't trying that sh-

   3. JRJoe Rogan2:16

      I ain't try that shit either. What are you-

   4. SDSnoop Dogg2:17

      We are never trying heroin! Heroin! Heroin!

   5. JRJoe Rogan2:21

      (laughs)

   6. SDSnoop Dogg2:21

      (laughs)

   7. JRJoe Rogan2:21

      You've got your own mic. (laughs)

   8. SDSnoop Dogg2:22

      Joe, I came prepared. (laughs) Quit playing with me man. (laughs)

   9. JRJoe Rogan2:25

      (laughs)

   10. SDSnoop Dogg2:26

       Don't fucking play with me, Joe. I'm prepared today. Give me a, give me a li- give me a... Oh, I can use your ashtray?

   11. JRJoe Rogan2:30

       Sure, of course.

   12. SDSnoop Dogg2:31

       Okay, perfect. Thank you.

   13. JRJoe Rogan2:32

       Of course.

   14. SDSnoop Dogg2:32

       We're family.

   15. JRJoe Rogan2:33

       Yeah. Get in there.

   16. SDSnoop Dogg2:34

       Will do. I'm gonna start off light. I'm gonna start off with some fly weight division.

   17. JRJoe Rogan2:40

       What is this stuff?

   18. SDSnoop Dogg2:41

       This is just some fly weight to get me going, you know. I like watching the women fight.

   19. JRJoe Rogan2:45

       And so, y- you roll it, y- you roll blunts with like... Do you take a part of Swisher Sweets? What do you?

   20. SDSnoop Dogg2:51

       I used to be a s- Philly Blunt guy, then I used to be a Swisher Sweet guy, and now I'm a Backwood guy.

   21. JRJoe Rogan2:57

       Backwoods?

   22. SDSnoop Dogg2:58

       Yeah, Backwoods. One of the little homies turned me on. You know, this is a young man's thing but I hang with all of the youngsters and, you know, they be pushing it on me, "Unk, hit the Backwood, hit the Backwood." I'm like, "I ain't smoking that." And when I finally hit it, I just liked the way it made me feel. It was like, it was a relaxer rather than me, you know, going to sleep or wanting to be too excited. It was like the perfect, it was a perfect match for me, especially at that age I'm in.

   23. JRJoe Rogan3:20

       Mm. And so, you just buy the cigar, take it apart, remove the tobacco. You do it all yourself?

   24. SDSnoop Dogg3:27

       You just watched me put one together-

   25. JRJoe Rogan3:28

       I did.

   26. SDSnoop Dogg3:28

       ... in 37 seconds.

   27. JRJoe Rogan3:30

       That's your thing?

   28. SDSnoop Dogg3:31

       And you do know that? (laughs)

   29. JRJoe Rogan3:32

       I do. I do. I learned how to smoke, uh, blunts from Charlie Murphy.

   30. SDSnoop Dogg3:37

       Mm.
3. 7:24 – 11:37

   Def Jam gifts, Algorithm rollout, and the chaotic joy of playing new music live

   1. JRJoe Rogan7:24

      I wish I could dress like you.

   2. SDSnoop Dogg7:26

      You can. Hold on.

   3. JRJoe Rogan7:27

      (laughs)

   4. SDSnoop Dogg7:27

      I brought, I brought you something.

   5. JRJoe Rogan7:29

      (laughs)

   6. SDSnoop Dogg7:29

      First of all, here's a, here's a Def Jam chain for you-

   7. JRJoe Rogan7:31

      Oh, shit.

   8. SDSnoop Dogg7:31

      ... 'cause you know I'm running things over at Def Jam now-

   9. JRJoe Rogan7:33

      Thank you.

   10. SDSnoop Dogg7:33

       ... and I wanted to make sure you was official like a referee with a whistle.

   11. JRJoe Rogan7:36

       Thank you. Woo.

   12. SDSnoop Dogg7:36

       You can't wear the chain without the Def Jam jacket.

   13. JRJoe Rogan7:39

       Oh, shit.

   14. SDSnoop Dogg7:39

       Oh yeah, Joe got a Def Jam jacket.

   15. JRJoe Rogan7:41

       Oh, shit.

   16. SDSnoop Dogg7:41

       They're gonna hate you. They're gonna hate you.

   17. JRJoe Rogan7:43

       Don't hate everyone.

   18. SDSnoop Dogg7:44

       And then I know, Joe, I know you a Snoop Dogg fan, so I gotta give you that Doggystyle, my first album.

   19. JRJoe Rogan7:48

       Oh, shit.

   20. SDSnoop Dogg7:49

       You gotta get that Doggystyle jacket too.

   21. JRJoe Rogan7:50

       Oh my goodness.

   22. SDSnoop Dogg7:50

       Come on Joe, man. Come on, man.

   23. JRJoe Rogan7:52

       This is Christmas for me.

   24. SDSnoop Dogg7:53

       I gotta have you fall out-

   25. JRJoe Rogan7:54

       Thank you.

   26. SDSnoop Dogg7:54

       ... to one of them big UFC fights in, in, well, in that right there. Dana White's gonna love it when you wear it.

   27. JRJoe Rogan7:58

       100%.

   28. SDSnoop Dogg7:58

       Dana's gonna say, "Where's mine?"

   29. JRJoe Rogan8:00

       December 11th.

   30. SDSnoop Dogg8:01

       Say that.
4. 11:37 – 15:34

   From YouTube-style commentary to UFC booths: Snoop’s path as a fight analyst

   1. SDSnoop Dogg11:37

      You know what people don't know? Is that, like, when they see me doing all of this, like, calling fights and calling sports and doing all of this, I guess it's called analysm. Is that what it's called?

   2. JRJoe Rogan11:49

      Anal- uh, yeah, analyst.

   3. SDSnoop Dogg11:50

      Yeah, when I'm a analyst. They don't know that I got my start with a show called The Contender, which was the Dana White Show, which was a show where the fighters would come and they would fight to get a contract, so to speak. And one of the fighters that was on that show was Sugar Shane. And I see he came out and became a real good fighter, and I just think about how when I was on there with, uh, Urijah Faber and how he was only just getting my style together as far as how to talk when I'm watching a sporting event. They don't understand that I got my beginnings from the UFC world, man.Y'all blessed me. (smacks lips)

   4. JRJoe Rogan12:31

      It was ... It was Sugar Shane.

   5. SDSnoop Dogg12:33

      Yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan12:33

      Uh, Sugar Sean rather, Sugar Sean O'Malley. (clears throat) Not Sugar Shane.

   7. SDSnoop Dogg12:36

      Bad boy. Shh. Bad boy.

   8. JRJoe Rogan12:37

      Uh, he's, he's fucking phenomenal. When you were doing that, that ca- didn't that come out of you doing commentary just for, like, YouTube videos and shit?

   9. SDSnoop Dogg12:44

      Yeah, but the way Dana ... He, he produced it. You know what I'm saying? Like, I was-

   10. JRJoe Rogan12:50

       Yeah.

   11. SDSnoop Dogg12:50

       ... just doing, like, freelance shit and he was like, "Nah, hold on. Come to Vegas. We gonna put you on the air, you and him." And then I was in there smoking like a motherfucker the first couple of fights. They was like, "Hold on. Y- you can't be i- on the same ... We gotta build you a room off for the sec-" (laughs) 'Cause of the fucking, the rules and regulations to fighting, the smoke gotta be in this section over here. So I was announcing, we had our little booth where we had to smoke off of the set and watch the fight-

   12. JRJoe Rogan13:14

       That's hilarious.

   13. SDSnoop Dogg13:14

       ... from, like, the booth. (laughs)

   14. JRJoe Rogan13:16

       'Cause you could legitimately give someone a contact high.

   15. SDSnoop Dogg13:19

       Oh, yeah. That's what they were saying.

   16. JRJoe Rogan13:20

       Yeah, for sure.

   17. SDSnoop Dogg13:21

       But I thought the fighters wouldn't, wouldn't like that.

   18. JRJoe Rogan13:23

       (coughs)

   19. SDSnoop Dogg13:23

       (laughs)

   20. JRJoe Rogan13:23

       The fighters probably ... Some of them would. Some of them would. But yeah. You, uh, when you were doing it with Urijah Faber, that was when Sean O'Malley made his big ... That was, uh, one of his first big knockouts that people got a chance to see him, his style.

   21. SDSnoop Dogg13:38

       It was so dope then.

   22. JRJoe Rogan13:39

       You calling his fight, it was part of the fun of him sort of emerging-

   23. SDSnoop Dogg13:43

       That's-

   24. JRJoe Rogan13:43

       ... into the UFC.

   25. SDSnoop Dogg13:44

       That gave me the, the bug-

   26. JRJoe Rogan13:45

       Yeah.

   27. SDSnoop Dogg13:45

       ... to be like, "Fuck that. You can do-

   28. JRJoe Rogan13:47

       Yeah.

   29. SDSnoop Dogg13:47

       ... this shit, dawg. Go ahead."

   30. JRJoe Rogan13:48

       Yeah. No, anybody could do it, you know. If you, if you ever watch fights with a cool friend, it's fun.
5. 15:34 – 20:55

   Training to protect yourself: Wiz Khalifa’s inspiration and Snoop’s martial arts origin story

   1. SDSnoop Dogg15:34

      Hey, man, let me tell you. Wiz Khalifa put all that shit in me. Wiz Khalifa used to weigh about 140 pounds-

   2. JRJoe Rogan15:40

      (laughs)

   3. SDSnoop Dogg15:41

      ... and I used to weigh about 160. And we used to be on tour taking our shirts off and shit, and I used to have way more muscles than him. We used to be doing our shit. All of a sudden, this motherfucker started working out. And then we went on tour. He was like, "Hey, man, let's run to the crowd." He doing all kind of athletic shit, then he took his shirt off. I'm like, "Fuck."

   4. JRJoe Rogan15:58

      (laughs)

   5. SDSnoop Dogg15:58

      I looked at him and was like, "Damn, he bigger than me now. What the fuck is going on?" So I asked him. He's like, "Man, I'm working at Unbreakable. I'm in the gym every day." So me wanting to be, you know, just like he is, I'm, "Can I go in there?" Went, got me a membership, started working out, just training, lifting. And then the fighting element came to me. I was like, "I want to learn how to fight better." 'Cause I could fight, but I want to learn how to fight to protect myself. Not to just beat somebody up, but to be defensive in case somebody needs some help.

   6. JRJoe Rogan16:26

      Did you ever do any martial arts before that?

   7. SDSnoop Dogg16:29

      Only watched movies.

   8. JRJoe Rogan16:30

      Really?

   9. SDSnoop Dogg16:31

      Yep. You know as a kid, you watch movies and you practice those moves-

   10. JRJoe Rogan16:34

       Yeah.

   11. SDSnoop Dogg16:34

       ... and you try shit? We was those kind of kids. We would jump off of roofs and jump off of mattresses-

   12. JRJoe Rogan16:39

       (laughs)

   13. SDSnoop Dogg16:40

       ... and all kind of shit. We didn't give a fuck.

   14. JRJoe Rogan16:42

       (laughs) A lot of kids must have learned from movies, right?

   15. SDSnoop Dogg16:45

       That's all we had.

   16. JRJoe Rogan16:46

       Just imitate, imitate people doing kicks in Bruce Lee movies and Chuck Norris movies.

   17. SDSnoop Dogg16:50

       Joe, let me tell you this. When we was ... When we watch a movie and we leave to walk in, soon as the movie go off, a karate movie, we looking for somebody to fight.

   18. JRJoe Rogan16:58

       (laughs)

   19. SDSnoop Dogg16:58

       And do karate moves on. (laughs) Not regular fighting, but-

   20. JRJoe Rogan17:02

       (laughs)

   21. SDSnoop Dogg17:02

       ... motherfuckers stand out there like this doing all this karate shit.

   22. JRJoe Rogan17:06

       When do you think that happened? I think it was, like, probably Bruce Lee introduced that.

   23. SDSnoop Dogg17:10

       Bruce Lee, he, he was the fucking king.

   24. JRJoe Rogan17:12

       Yeah, yeah.

   25. SDSnoop Dogg17:13

       All his movies, we definitely wanted to imitate him.

   26. JRJoe Rogan17:15

       Yeah.

   27. SDSnoop Dogg17:15

       And then the fucking Shaw Brothers, they had some good shit too. And then there was a couple of classics like Five Fingers of Death, Master of the Flying Guillotine. It's certain movies that just really hit in the hood that we really liked watching.

   28. JRJoe Rogan17:28

       It's kinda crazy that one guy and one particular style of movie created, like, a whole way that people wanted to fight. They wanted to start kicking people.

   29. SDSnoop Dogg17:39

       Right. (laughs)

   30. JRJoe Rogan17:39

       Before that, it was, like, fisticuffs.
6. 20:55 – 27:39

   Martial arts revolutions: Bruce Lee’s cultural impact and the rise of UFC grappling legends

   1. SDSnoop Dogg20:55

      But when I first watched, I fell in love with, with Royce Gracie.

   2. JRJoe Rogan20:58

      Yeah.

   3. SDSnoop Dogg20:58

      This motherfucker used to come out with a robe on-

   4. JRJoe Rogan21:01

      (laughs)

   5. SDSnoop Dogg21:02

      ... and lay down-

   6. JRJoe Rogan21:03

      (laughs)

   7. SDSnoop Dogg21:03

      ... and kick your ass. I'm trying to figure out how the fuck he got a... If y'all don't grab this motherfucker by his robe and choke his ass out-

   8. JRJoe Rogan21:11

      (laughs)

   9. SDSnoop Dogg21:11

      ... and pull the bottom of his robe up and take his, his, uh, his little, uh, string around his rope and tie his ass up with it, he... I used to just watch him like, "This motherfucker is amazing." Then I met him, and when I met him, I'm like, "Damn, he's so calm and relaxed." I guess when you know you can fuck a motherfucker up-

   10. JRJoe Rogan21:30

       (laughs)

   11. SDSnoop Dogg21:31

       (laughs) ... you just sit back and just, just enjoy life.

   12. JRJoe Rogan21:34

       Yeah. O- o- I think that robe was a trick in some ways. It was really smart. Because by wearing the kimono, wearing the, the, uh, Jujitsu gi-

   13. SDSnoop Dogg21:44

       Mm-hmm.

   14. JRJoe Rogan21:44

       ... he, he made people grab him.

   15. SDSnoop Dogg21:46

       Always they were grabbing them-

   16. JRJoe Rogan21:47

       Yeah.

   17. SDSnoop Dogg21:47

       ... and that, and that brought them to him, right?

   18. JRJoe Rogan21:49

       Exactly.

   19. SDSnoop Dogg21:50

       And that's, and his style-

   20. JRJoe Rogan21:51

       Yeah.

   21. SDSnoop Dogg21:51

       ... you wanna be up close and tight-

   22. JRJoe Rogan21:53

       Yeah.

   23. SDSnoop Dogg21:53

       ... in there.

   24. JRJoe Rogan21:54

       So, what, he would just smother these guys, and they would, they would grab onto it and they would be in his trap and then boom, he would be on top of him like a spider, just strangling people.

   25. SDSnoop Dogg22:01

       'Cause him and Shamrock was fucking amazing.

   26. JRJoe Rogan22:04

       Yeah. Well, him and everybody was amazing. I mean, he was the guy that introduced everybody to the idea that you could be a smaller person with superior technique and win a, a huge, whole, no holds barred competition with giant people.

   27. SDSnoop Dogg22:18

       So, in my, in my book, he's top five UFC all time great.

   28. JRJoe Rogan22:24

       Yeah. You, it's-

   29. SDSnoop Dogg22:25

       Hands fucking down.

   30. JRJoe Rogan22:26

       It's hard to measure how important he was. He was so-
7. 27:39 – 30:54

   Relevance is like title defense: UFC ‘torch passing’ compared to the music industry

   1. SDSnoop Dogg27:39

      That's in everything, though. That's even in the music industry. It's always been like that. Like, it's a young man's game. That's why I'm surprised I'm still in it.

   2. JRJoe Rogan27:47

      Well, again, you're in it because you can authentically be you and people love you. You're like one of the most universally loved people. But it's because of what you put out.

   3. SDSnoop Dogg27:56

      Right.

   4. JRJoe Rogan27:56

      You, that's what you put out there. You put out love, and people love you back.

   5. SDSnoop Dogg28:00

      Hey, man. Put it in the air one time. A little bud for the love, a little love for the bud. Oh, I gotta say it the right way, though. You know how I do it. Yes, sir.

   6. JRJoe Rogan28:10

      (laughs)

   7. SDSnoop Dogg28:10

      Big Snoop Dogg smoking live on the air. The Joe Rogan Experience, Austin, Texas or bust. You bitch, you. (laughs) You ain't never had a guest like that, that comes-

   8. JRJoe Rogan28:23

      No.

   9. SDSnoop Dogg28:23

      ... with his own motherfucking microphone. It's just, just together, man. I need some alcohol, Joe.

   10. JRJoe Rogan28:28

       It's next level.

   11. SDSnoop Dogg28:29

       Can I get drunk on your show?

   12. JRJoe Rogan28:29

       Yeah. For sure.

   13. SDSnoop Dogg28:30

       You got some clear? All that shit over there is brown like me. I need some clear.

   14. JRJoe Rogan28:33

       What do you need? What kind do you like?

   15. SDSnoop Dogg28:35

       I like vodka.

   16. JRJoe Rogan28:36

       Do we have vodka, Jamie?

   17. NANarrator28:38

       We have to ... We have to-

   18. SDSnoop Dogg28:39

       What ... No. What you, what you got here? I'll do what you got. Fuck it. Let's break the rules.

   19. NANarrator28:42

       Cool.

   20. JRJoe Rogan28:42

       Mostly we have whiskey.

   21. SDSnoop Dogg28:44

       Oh, shit.

   22. NANarrator28:44

       Yeah. We have rye still stuff too-

   23. SDSnoop Dogg28:46

       Oh, shit. You, you fucked up.

   24. NANarrator28:46

       ... which is dangerous.

   25. JRJoe Rogan28:47

       What's that?

   26. NANarrator28:47

       That rye still is clear.

   27. SDSnoop Dogg28:49

       It is?

   28. JRJoe Rogan28:49

       Oh, that stuff is ruthless, though.

   29. NANarrator28:50

       Yeah. I wouldn't want to give that to you.

   30. SDSnoop Dogg28:52

       Oh, thanks.
8. 30:54 – 36:05

   Show business is business: equity, branding, Master P, and financial literacy gaps

   1. SDSnoop Dogg30:54

      I drink Indigo gin. I drink (smacks lips) 19 Crimes wine or rose. You know, I'm a player, Joe. I drink that shit that's cool. This kind of shit when I'm with the boys and we want to act a fool-But normally, I'm on some player relaxed shit, making sure I'm in control. 'Cause that brown ... Brown and brown don't mix.

   2. JRJoe Rogan31:14

      (laughs)

   3. SDSnoop Dogg31:15

      (laughs)

   4. JRJoe Rogan31:15

      Are you involved with that 19 Crimes wine? Is that something you're doing?

   5. SDSnoop Dogg31:19

      Yeah, yeah. You know, you know the plug was plugged. You already know that.

   6. JRJoe Rogan31:20

      Yeah.

   7. SDSnoop Dogg31:21

      (laughs)

   8. JRJoe Rogan31:21

      Well, no, it's good shit, man. I buy it.

   9. SDSnoop Dogg31:23

      You do?

   10. JRJoe Rogan31:23

       Yes.

   11. SDSnoop Dogg31:24

       You won't never-

   12. JRJoe Rogan31:24

       Yes.

   13. SDSnoop Dogg31:24

       ... have to buy it again.

   14. JRJoe Rogan31:25

       Well, thank you.

   15. SDSnoop Dogg31:26

       Yeah, we gonna s-

   16. JRJoe Rogan31:27

       It's very good.

   17. SDSnoop Dogg31:27

       ... ship a gang of that shit up here.

   18. JRJoe Rogan31:28

       Thank you. It's very good.

   19. SDSnoop Dogg31:30

       Hmm.

   20. JRJoe Rogan31:30

       I bought it before.

   21. SDSnoop Dogg31:31

       (laughs) Yeah. You know me, Joe. I'm just trying to diversify my portfolio, you know-

   22. JRJoe Rogan31:35

       I like it.

   23. SDSnoop Dogg31:35

       ... because I felt like, you know, early in my career, when I was making songs like Gin and Juice, I feel like Tanqueray and Seagram's have really made millions and millions of dollars off of me without me knowing what I was doing as far as-

   24. JRJoe Rogan31:47

       Right.

   25. SDSnoop Dogg31:47

       ... promoting their brands. So once I learned the system and figured out that, wow, you could become a marketing and a brand ambassador, and you could also get some equity, or even just create your own alcohol brand.

   26. JRJoe Rogan31:58

       Yeah, people blew up brands for nothing. They blew up brands and just, you know-

   27. SDSnoop Dogg32:02

       We didn't know no better. Whether it was Gucci-

   28. JRJoe Rogan32:04

       Yeah.

   29. SDSnoop Dogg32:04

       ... whether it was Nike, Converse, whatever it was, we did it out of the love of the brand and then the brand didn't understand that (clears throat) we were promoting for them, so they should've just naturally said, "Hey, here's some money. Be a brand ambassador." When we would come to some of these brands, they would say, "We don't need you; you're promoting us anyway."

   30. JRJoe Rogan32:23

       Yeah. Yeah. It's a w- weird thing to try to realize.
9. 36:05 – 50:21

   Fight business, Jake Paul, and the ‘don’t box Tyson’ debate (with terrifying pad footage)

   1. JRJoe Rogan36:05

      Like everybody's like, "Why?" You know, when you see a Conor McGregor, like how the fuck is he so much more interesting? Like what's going on? Like what's going on when someone just blows up and you just want to see them fight more than anything? Like this, uh... Do you know who Khamzat Chimaev is?

   2. SDSnoop Dogg36:20

      Yes.

   3. JRJoe Rogan36:20

      That's, that's another guy that everybody's like, "I can't wait to see that motherfucker fight again. Can he fight again tomorrow?"

   4. SDSnoop Dogg36:26

      I want to see... I want to see him fight too, Joe.

   5. JRJoe Rogan36:27

      Can he fight tomorrow?

   6. SDSnoop Dogg36:28

      I fucking want to see him too. I don't know why, but I do want to see him fight.

   7. JRJoe Rogan36:31

      (sighs) He's got it. Whatever that thing is, he's got it.

   8. SDSnoop Dogg36:34

      It's that interest to, to-

   9. JRJoe Rogan36:35

      Yeah.

   10. SDSnoop Dogg36:35

       ... want to learn more about him because he's, he's entertainment.

   11. JRJoe Rogan36:38

       Yeah. When he's like, "I killed them all-"

   12. SDSnoop Dogg36:41

       (laughs)

   13. JRJoe Rogan36:41

       ... after his last fight. He goes, "Bring them to me."

   14. SDSnoop Dogg36:44

       I fucking love him.

   15. JRJoe Rogan36:44

       "I killed them all." I'm like, "Whoa."

   16. SDSnoop Dogg36:45

       I'm like this motherfucker sound like he's in Gladiators and shit.

   17. JRJoe Rogan36:48

       Dude, he's real.

   18. SDSnoop Dogg36:49

       Yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan36:50

       That's really him too.

   20. SDSnoop Dogg36:51

       But see, that... Like I say, the best thing you could do is you.

   21. JRJoe Rogan36:54

       Yeah.

   22. SDSnoop Dogg36:55

       He's having fun doing him right now and we-

   23. JRJoe Rogan36:57

       (sighs)

   24. SDSnoop Dogg36:57

       ... and we, and we're locked in because we don't see too many people doing him but him.

   25. JRJoe Rogan37:00

       Snoop, the word is he's even better than you've seen.

   26. SDSnoop Dogg37:03

       Mm-hmm.

   27. JRJoe Rogan37:04

       The, the word is by people who train with him, they're like, "Dude, he is a fucking freak of nature. He's a freak of nature. He's really smart. He knows what to do. He's got sick timing. He's just like he's got a, a, a super genius fight mindset."Like, you watch him fight, he doesn't make any mistakes. He's had... I, I, I think he's had three or four fights in the UFC. He's only been hit twice.

   28. SDSnoop Dogg37:27

       He's that defensive?

   29. JRJoe Rogan37:28

       He, he's just a swarm.

   30. SDSnoop Dogg37:30

       Wow.
10. 50:21 – 57:26

    How Snoop builds songs: freestyles, precision writing, and ‘Murder Was the Case’ turning real

    1. SDSnoop Dogg50:21

       ... one more song for you. Where do I put it? In the AirDrop?

    2. NANarrator50:23

       Yep.

    3. SDSnoop Dogg50:25

       Did you get it? Did you get it, Jamie?

    4. NANarrator50:30

       No.

    5. SDSnoop Dogg50:32

       What I got to do? Highlight it and then put it in there?

    6. NANarrator50:34

       Yeah, drag, drag and, drag and drop it on top of my name.

    7. SDSnoop Dogg50:38

       Okay, what about that? Hey, this is a anthem for me and you right now.

    8. (instrumental music) Yeah. Main one. You got some weed, now's the time to blaze that shit up. Come on. I like my weed, uh, in the morning. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I like my weed. I said I like my weed, my weed in the noontime. I'm rolling up. I like my weed in the evening. In the evening, rolling in the evening. I like my weed when I go to sleep at night. Yeah. Yeah. The world getting sicker every day, I feel like it's about to end. About to end this week. It's about to end. End. Mobbing through this life, I'm trying to separate the really for real and pretend. From what? From what? 'Cause all these niggas always look crazy. Lookin' crazy. Every day a mother lose her baby. A mother lose her baby. And every day a baby lose they mama. And we all go to Instagram for drama. I like my weed. Said, I like my weed. In the morning. Like it in the morning. I like my weed.

    9. For all the weed smokers out there-

    10. In the noontime.

    11. ... November 19th-

    12. I like my weed.

    13. ... this single is out right now.

    14. In the evening.

    15. Jane Hancock, off of that Algorithm album.

    16. I like my weed.

    17. Def Jam. Talk to them, Jane.

    18. When I go to sleep at night. Yeah. I'm high.

    19. Blaze that shit up, what you waiting on?

    20. Yeah. Uh. Dreams of me living lavish. Got to do great, I can't do average. I'm well established. You got some weed, then go on and pass it. Different fabric. You'd be surprised who really active.

    21. When it's what?

    22. When them lights, camera, flash in.

    23. Come on.

    24. I ain't gossiping with these birds, I'm on other shit.

    25. Why?

    26. Niggas can't talk to me stupid 'cause I'm not that other bitch. Cautious with who I'm with. Thank God I'm talented. I got to hit her right per se if you want my mastering. This time I'm betting on me. And I don't give a fuck if I can write these songs in my sleep. I told myself that it'd be over if I had self-esteem. And now I got it. I'm freestyling, but my style ain't for free. Just think about it. I do this for the ones in the hood that will never leave you. You can see this product from Richmond, and believe it. Long as its good, go on do what you wanna. My mom and dad know that I ain't scared to smoke my marijuana. Yeah.

    27. All the weed smokers out there.

    28. Smoke it in the morning.

    29. If you're on your lunch break.

    30. Smoke it on your lunch break.
11. 57:26 – 1:01:29

    East Coast vs. West Coast: media-driven narratives, tragedy, and bridge-building

    1. JRJoe Rogan57:26

       Yeah, that East Coast/West Coast shit, it became a, a real, a real divide in the country with hip hop, right?

    2. SDSnoop Dogg57:33

       Yeah, it was, because you didn't wanna be on the wrong side and you didn't wanna, like... Like, for example, if you had friends, right, that was leaning more towards the East Coast and then you had a friend that really wanted to hear West Coast music, y'all might have ended y'all friendship-

    3. JRJoe Rogan57:48

       Yeah.

    4. SDSnoop Dogg57:48

       ... based off of that.

    5. JRJoe Rogan57:49

       Really?

    6. SDSnoop Dogg57:50

       It was that serious.

    7. JRJoe Rogan57:51

       Yeah. How did it... It went... It kinda isn't that way anymore though, right?

    8. SDSnoop Dogg57:55

       Mm-mm. What it was, it-

    9. JRJoe Rogan57:57

       The more you... That's good. Isn't that, like, a good sign for the future?

    10. SDSnoop Dogg58:00

        That's a great sign. There's people working together from al- from all parts of the world.

    11. JRJoe Rogan58:04

        'Cause, like, in the '90s, that was a real problem. There was a real divide.

    12. SDSnoop Dogg58:08

        The divide was the, we couldn't control the media like we can now.

    13. JRJoe Rogan58:14

        Hmm.

    14. SDSnoop Dogg58:14

        So even back then, East Coast and West Coast used to hang with each other and, and kick it and love each other, but we didn't control the media platforms, so we, we couldn't... We didn't have a Instagram or Facebook or none of that shit where we can slap up a picture of me and Nas and-

    15. JRJoe Rogan58:29

        Mm-hmm.

    16. SDSnoop Dogg58:29

        ... Jay-Z and this person hanging out.

    17. JRJoe Rogan58:31

        Right.

    18. SDSnoop Dogg58:31

        We didn't have that. All you had was the media saying, "The East Coast and the West Coast don't like each other. Which side you choosing?"

    19. JRJoe Rogan58:38

        Yeah.

    20. SDSnoop Dogg58:39

        And that's just that.

    21. JRJoe Rogan58:40

        Yeah. And it's their job just to sell newspapers.

    22. SDSnoop Dogg58:45

        Right, and it's- And then once lives were lost and you could blame... You could naturally say, "Tupac, okay, did somebody have something to do with that from the East Coast? We don't know. Biggie, he got killed on the West Coast," that put speculation that maybe somebody from the West Coast has something to do with it. So it just kept fueling to the fire until you had people like, uh, Puffy, myself, Steve Harvey, who were man enough to say, "Look, we need to put an end to this and let people know that we don't advocate that. We really love each other. We're a family." And we started building bridges and started doing things together and being seen together and, and controlling our own narrative as far as what we was putting in the public's eye.

    23. JRJoe Rogan59:26

        I'm glad that it, uh, it ended, because it showed that that's possible, that real disputes... I mean, just think about the dispute in this country between just the Democrats and the Republicans.

    24. SDSnoop Dogg59:37

        Mm.

    25. JRJoe Rogan59:37

        Like, what the fuck? I thought we were all supposed to be American. It's like we split it down to two sides of a country, and it seems like it's a similar thing.

    26. SDSnoop Dogg59:45

        It is.

    27. JRJoe Rogan59:45

        And I, I hope we can get over it the same way East Coast/West Coast rappers got over it, because-

    28. SDSnoop Dogg59:51

        I know, I know we can because-

    29. JRJoe Rogan59:51

        ... that's real progress.

    30. SDSnoop Dogg59:52

        One thing about the world we live in right now, Joe, look at me and you. Look at how we doing this right now. You know how many people we bringing together by me and you sitting right here chopping it up talking? We making peace right now.
12. 1:01:29 – 1:09:26

    The Dogg Father: bonding with dogs, ‘breaking’ tough dogs, and why Malinois are “meat missiles”

    1. JRJoe Rogan1:01:29

       When I was on, uh, FaceTime with you, this is how you transcend generations. I was on FaceTime with you at my dinner table and, uh, I have a, a daughter who has a dog named Snoop.

    2. SDSnoop Dogg1:01:40

       (laughs)

    3. JRJoe Rogan1:01:40

       And somehow or another, my 13-year-old thought I was talking to the dog.

    4. SDSnoop Dogg1:01:45

       (laughs)

    5. JRJoe Rogan1:01:45

       And, uh, I'm like, "What's up, Snoop?"

    6. SDSnoop Dogg1:01:47

       (laughs)

    7. JRJoe Rogan1:01:47

       And then, uh, I turn and I show her the FaceTime and she goes, "Holy shit, it's Snoop Dogg!"

    8. SDSnoop Dogg1:01:52

       (laughs)

    9. JRJoe Rogan1:01:52

       "For real!"My daughter's never done that.

    10. SDSnoop Dogg1:02:00

        (laughs)

    11. JRJoe Rogan1:02:00

        That Zer- the, "Holy shit, it's Snoop Dogg for real." (laughs)

    12. SDSnoop Dogg1:02:03

        She said that like she been saying that shit for years.

    13. JRJoe Rogan1:02:06

        (clapping)

    14. SDSnoop Dogg1:02:06

        That shit came out too slick.

    15. JRJoe Rogan1:02:07

        Ah! (laughs) It was hilarious.

    16. SDSnoop Dogg1:02:10

        Come on man, we family, man.

    17. JRJoe Rogan1:02:11

        That's amazing.

    18. SDSnoop Dogg1:02:12

        I just, I just met the dog in real life.

    19. JRJoe Rogan1:02:14

        Yeah. He's-

    20. SDSnoop Dogg1:02:14

        What y'all don't know, me and the dog just bonded. Snoop-

    21. JRJoe Rogan1:02:16

        He's a little cutie, isn't he?

    22. SDSnoop Dogg1:02:17

        Yeah, man, he fuck with me. That's my nephew, man. You understand me?

    23. JRJoe Rogan1:02:20

        Ah.

    24. SDSnoop Dogg1:02:20

        I'm the Dogg Father. You know, when the dogs see me, they-

    25. JRJoe Rogan1:02:23

        You have 20 dogs?

    26. SDSnoop Dogg1:02:23

        Yeah. When a dog see me, Joe, this is n- naturally what happens. I don't give a fuck if it's the meanest, toughest dog, either he come over to me and he rub me or he lay on his back, or he, he just sit down and just pee, 'cause he be so happy he just start peeing.

    27. JRJoe Rogan1:02:37

        (laughs)

    28. SDSnoop Dogg1:02:38

        He be like, "Damn, that's Snoop Dogg." (hisses) (laughs)

    29. JRJoe Rogan1:02:44

        You're a real dog man.

    30. SDSnoop Dogg1:02:45

        You seen it with your own two eyes.
13. 1:09:26 – 1:21:21

    Weed laws worldwide: Norway’s zero-tolerance shock, Amsterdam ease, and legalization’s tax benefits

    1. SDSnoop Dogg1:09:26

       Look, my mission back in the days when I used to go overseas was to break that motherfucking beagle. 'Cause that beagle used to be waiting on us when we'd come through the airport, smelling like that good dope.

    2. JRJoe Rogan1:09:38

       Oh.

    3. SDSnoop Dogg1:09:39

       And that motherfucker come stand right next to a motherfucker. When he standing next to you, they call you out the line and run through all your bags. So I had to figure out how to break this motherfucker. I took a little class on beagles.

    4. JRJoe Rogan1:09:52

       (laughs)

    5. SDSnoop Dogg1:09:52

       So next time I went overseas, little motherfucker pulled up on me, and he looked at me and he was like... And I gave him a little signal. He said, "No, not him." And he went and stood next to another motherfucker. And that was a beautiful thing, and I learned how to break the beagle. Y'all hit me up if y'all wanna learn how to break that beagle when y'all go overseas.
