[Narrator] You recently moved to Houston and said,

I love New York, but I live in Houston now.

I'll explain later.

Is it later yet?

It's still not later.

[Narrator] So now that you're a Texan,

are you a fan of cowboy boots?

No, but cowboy hats.

I went to the rodeo. I had a good experience there.

[Narrator] Is it true that everything's bigger in Texas?

You can find booty's that is unbelievable in Texas.

Like, you can find women that are

abnormally attractive in Texas.

There's some really interesting stuff out there.

[Narrator] So it is true

that everything's bigger in Texas.

Some yes. Not everything, but some things are.

[Narrator] So you've been famous for a long time;

Do you get recognized a lot?

Yeah.

[Narrator] Do you like getting recognized?

I don't mind. It's a fair exchange.

[Narrator] Have you ever been star-struck by someone?

Yeah.

[Narrator] Was it when you met this woman?

[paper rustles]

Yeah, this.

Yeah, this. This is definitely one of the most.

[paper rustles]

[Narrator] Do you remember what you two

were giggling about?

Oh, just the experience, the game.

And Kobe,

he wanted us to

come back after the,

the halftime for us to go talk.

So we went after this,

we went and we went back into the locker rooms

and took pictures and hung out with Kobe.

[Narrator] You can get a little spicy on your Instagram.

[scoffs]

Do you write all your captions?

A lot of them, yeah.

[Narrator] Do you read your DMs?

Sometimes, not a lot.

Like I don't look through.

[Narrator] Sam, Is that true?

That's true.

[Narrator] Have you ever slid into someone's DMs?

Yes.

[chuckles]

[Narrator] Can you tell us who?

Nope.

[chuckles]

[Narrator] Did it work?

What kind of shit is be could

well I'm volunteering to do this.

No. Yeah, some, most of the time it works.

[Narrator] Does it work more often than it doesn't work?

Yeah.

[chuckles]

[Narrator] So, you follow Eminem on Instagram,

but he doesn't follow anyone.

Right.

[Narrator] Does that bother you?

No.

He's the biggest rap artist in the world.

You don't have to follow him. He doesn't need.

I follow him because I want to keep up with what he's doing.

[Narrator] Do you wish that he followed you?

No, he texts me personally.

[Narrator] You grew up in Queens;

Does that mean you're a Mets fan?

Yes.

[Narrator] We're you excited to throw

a first pitch at a Mets game?

Yes.

[Narrator] Is it harder than it looks?

I [beep] up alright?

I threw a bad pitch.

At practice, I looked real good rehearsing

and then when I got in front of everybody, and I threw it;

I like to kill the damn camera, man.

[finger taps]

[Narrator] Next up, dating and relationships.

[paper rustles]

[metal slams]

[Narrator] You once said that, The most important quality

of a partner is that she has her own

direction and ideas.

Do you still feel that way?

Yes.

[Narrator] You think a sense of humor

is an important quality in a relationship?

Absolutely.

[Narrator] Do you think you're funny?

Sometimes, yeah.

[paper rustles]

[Narrator] You funnier than this woman?

[paper rustles]

No,

not quite as funny as Chelsea.

[paper rustles]

[Narrator] So speaking of Chelsea,

you're still friendly with her?

Yeah.

[Narrator] Do you think being friends with an ex

is a sign of maturity?

Yeah, according on who you asking, yeah.

[Narrator] So would you consider yourself a mature person?

Yeah.

[Narrator] So are you friends with all of your exes?

No, not all of them, but.

[Narrator] What about this one?

[paper rustles]

I don't have a problem with her.

[paper rustles]

[Narrator] Is there someone that you think was

a relationship that got away from you?

[sighs]

I think that's every relationship, ain't it?

If at the point you feel like you're in that actual

relationship you're going to be in.

And then it turns into something that not necessarily

what you thought it was or, you know, that's everybody.

[Narrator] In your 2003 song, 21 Questions,

you ask 21 questions to find out

if your girlfriend really loves you.

Have you asked these questions to your current girlfriend?

No, but she's heard the song.

[Narrator] So, how do you know if

she'd still love you in a hoopty?

Oh, I didn't make that mandatory

for those questions to be asked and answered

in the relationship.

It was just a song.

[Narrator] Next up, career.

[paper rustles]

[metal slams]

[Narrator] You also wrote a song called

High All the Time,

but you don't actually smoke.

Right.

[Narrator] Do you always lie in your songs?

Well, I was high all the time,

but everybody else was smoking around me.

[Narrator] Is it true that you once asked

Snoop Dogg to stop smoking weed onset?

Yeah.

He said, Let me the [beep] alone 50,

this is [beep] is legal.

[Narrator] So it didn't work?

Nah, actually I'm chill, but he gonna do what he gonna do.

He gonna smoke it anyway.

[Narrator] Do you think there's anyone

who smokes more weed than Snoop?

Wiz, Wiz Khalifa, maybe.

He's telling the truth.

[Narrator] In your song, In Da Club you write,

You can find me in the club, bottle full of bub.

Is the bottle actually full of bub?

When they first open, yeah.

[Narrator] Is it not full of ginger ale?

I've filled, I've filled champagne bottles

with ginger ale.

[Narrator] So, technically that song is also a lie.

[chuckles]

[Narrator] Are there any other tracks you lied in?

Um,

Yeah, There's points that you say things

'cause you being creative, you create.

[Narrator] Was it even Shorty's birthday?

Every day is someone who you can make reference to is

shorty

birthday.

That's true.

[Narrator] Kanye west moved into an Atlanta stadium

to finish his latest album.

[grunts in agreement]

Was that a stunt?

Yeah, absolutely.

To sleep in the arena? Yeah.

[Narrator] Do you think that was a bigger stunt

than his presidential campaign?

I don't think anything is bigger than that.

The presidential campaign.

[Narrator] In your book, you discuss a tip you learned

from Bruce Willis that helps you

take control in meetings.

[grunts in agreement]

[Narrator] Are you using any of those

techniques right now?

No, I'm just relaxing.

But, the thing that I said in the book was,

He's very soft-spoken, so he makes people come to him.

They start the leaning over the table

to try and hear what he's saying.

And he's kind of controlling the room by just delivering it

nonchalantly and being low,

low with the volume when you're talking to people.

'Cause he knows he's already number one on the call sheet,

in the center of the project.

They all want to know what he's saying

so that he draws them to him.

[Narrator] Do you think I could be using

some of those techniques

right now?

That's what you're doing.

[Narrator] It's my last question.

Did you lie at any point during this lie detector test

and we didn't catch you?

No.

He is telling the truth.

[Narrator] Thank you.

Alright.

That wasn't that bad.
