listening right now hey boo um uh okay let's get into this episode Sydney do you want to talk about
your expertise uh yeah sure um I'm an expert in having a good heart yes but the listeners already
You know that.
That's my brand.
Friend had an audition.
She has two kids.
And, you know, kids are not my forte.
She's like, oh, the audition is like at nine something in the morning.
Can you please come with me to the audition with my kids?
And I was like, wow.
I mean, you're really pushing the friendship.
Do I, one, I don't want to go to an audition that I'm not auditioning for.
How old are the kids?
One is like a baby and the other is three years old.
a lot i wanted a girl who didn't give a fuck about my feelings she was just looking at me like
who are you why are you here not really interested and then the baby was a baby so the baby was cute
but just like you know where my mommy at so um yeah i went to the audition and i had the kids
so people were looking at me like oh i'm auditioning i got these kids like it was
real like losing isaiah holly berry like disheveled why did she why did you have to bring the kids
with her why couldn't you just go to the house and watch the kids while she was out because she
don't trust me the kids by myself which she shouldn't oh wow which she shouldn't i'm glad
that she did not but um yeah it was uh you know it was great going to the audition and seeing like
because she's like a singer she's a singer so it's a different type of audition like
musical Broadway people.
Everybody was in the hallway
like la la la la la la.
Yeah,
and they just got
a different vibe
and their confidence
is just different.
It was like good to see
but then I saw them
judging me
the side eye like
oh look at how I have babies.
I was like
this is my kid
not my kids
and I don't sing.
Okay.
But were the babies cute?
They were cute.
Okay, well then great.
Everybody was fucking
with the kids.
They were with it
but it's just
I see how hard it is
to be like a mom
and have like
aspirations and dreams
and shit.
Sis, you were at the audition for how long?
With these kids?
Like two hours.
Because it was one of those things where it's like open call type situation.
Oh, American Idol?
She was trying out for The Voice?
No, no, no, no.
And then at the end of the day, she didn't even get to audition.
So I was pretty upset for her and myself.
So you got there at nine, stayed till like 11.
She didn't get to audition?
No.
Because of the kids?
no it's just you know you do parking and whatnot and the parking was until like 115 and she's like
well i'm not paying another 50 to say something that i might get yeah oh wow well she looked in
the room she's like oh i could definitely get this she's like oh i know that i'm better than
half these people in here wow yeah wow you do have a good hard friend did she pay you with lunch
she asked me but i was like i'm tired dude i just want to go back home do my work more tired than
hungry yeah i didn't because then i have to eat with her and the kids so this is true what is a
steak if there's a child involved are you eating steak at 11 a.m yes honey if somebody else is
paying absolutely you sound real yamanika saunders right now yamanika loves steak um that is you know
round of applause for you standing with them yeah booger-nosed kids can't even imagine yes
what were you expert in um wait before we move on i want to say that this girl that i went to
high school with i was we're not friends no more but i went on her um facebook the other day and
she got three kids three kids three dads they all have the same face but she's dead to me so that
but can you imagine having three kids?
No.
I can't imagine having no kids.
I seen them kids yesterday,
and I was like,
I think kids are not in the cards for me.
I think I'm all set.
Throw those cards away.
Speaking of throwing things away,
I was an expert this week
at being all the way impatient.
Let's talk about this right now.
So two weeks ago,
I was getting ready to go to the Knitting Factory.
It was a Sunday night.
The show that Sydney and I host
and produce with a friend of ours.
and I was like is that a pimple on my chin I was like problematic but I uh I went to the show
no one saw the pimple I have this tv thing now so I was like well I can't be on tv with a pimple on
my face so I popped it right you've never seen you know I don't know Paula Abdul on tv with a
pimple on her face or Rihanna doing an interview with a pimple on her face so I popped it and then
they put all of this makeup on me and when I got home I was like oh the pimple is still here so I
popped it again and then like two days later it turned into this like giant scar and i i've never
had a scar on my face i've always had like good skin on my face so i was like freaking out i was
like yelling at my mom on the phone like why did you give me such terrible skin i mean meanwhile
skin is amazing um researching all of these ways to make this scar go away mind you it had been
a week my sister's like you got to put aloe on it no my sister said you gotta put castor oil on it
Amina said you got to put aloe on it.
I googled all of these regiments.
So I found online turmeric face masks.
I don't know if you know about these.
I do.
But you get turmeric from the store, like in powder form.
You mix it with some honey.
And I put a little bit of almond milk in it.
And then you brush it onto your face.
And it's supposed to be good for like just clearing up hyperpigmentation.
And scars and stuff.
That's crazy that you didn't ask me because I'm like the queen of skincare.
Sydney, I saw you and I was freaking out about the scar literally, oh, exactly a week ago.
I looked at it and I was like, wait, what?
Okay, so don't say, don't say, oh, I'm surprised you didn't ask me.
I walked in, I was like, I'm in crisis.
It was, okay, hold on.
But did I not walk in and say that I was in crisis?
Hold on, hold on.
If the listeners are listening, first of all, you know Marie's skin, right?
You see her face and you see one little scar.
you'll be like wait that's like no that that would be a blessing for everybody yes but i've
never had a scar on my face people cannot relate okay so if you can't relate don't now ask me why
i didn't ask you for help with my face because literally i was like i'm in crisis like fake
crying and he's like oh i don't see anything never did you say oh sis you have you heard of
turmeric have you heard of beet juice have you heard of shutting the hell up no you just were
like girl i mean let's do the show did you i mean did you take a picture if you i wish you would
have taken a picture to shit like no and i was not gonna do that people wouldn't see them like
i was distraught they're like what the scar was like half half the size of my pinky nail oh my
god anyway i woke up this morning and i can't really i can see it but i can't really see it
as much so it's been two weeks and i've done three turmeric face masks you leave it on i left it on
for half an hour uh and i'm in a good place now thank you so much for all your thoughts and
prayers through this difficult time thank you i love it it's not funny it's because i know people
who have bad skin and like that's just what they skin looks like yeah and then they hear you talk
and they're like what the fuck are you talking about but they've had like acne since they were
like 14 i have never had bad skin and i have keloid skin so when i get a scar like anywhere
else on my body it doesn't go away it's like it turns into like a 3d pop-up scar and i was like
oh this is i can't even turn this into like a beauty mark like it was too big for me to like
make it all black and be like oh this is you know my my nicole smith mark well in the future if you
have a scar they have little things like little face masks that you can put on blemishes that
you see this that is specifically for pimples it's a little clearer thing put it on how much
What's it retail at?
No, it's cheap.
Adrienne has it.
You know, because she actually has, you know, problematic skin.
And she always has like little, you know, things that she can use.
Oh, I should have messaged Adrienne.
Yeah.
But Adrienne, I'm actually, I'm not going to blow her up.
But you know what I was going to talk about?
What?
Oh, yeah.
That was years ago.
Right.
And that was somebody else's friend.
Your friend's friend.
Okay.
So somebody twice removed.
your friend influenced her to put pee on her face somebody said if you have bad skin put pee on your
face and adrian listen to this dusty ass friend and then i they let me overhear them talking and
i was like you pissed on your face like a jellyfish sting i was like no i'd rather just
have pimples than have pee on my face i can't believe you stayed with her after that i honestly
it was like
hmm
should we be
breaking up
but it was very early
do you dilute the pee
with something
it's early in the relationship
I'm leaving you
Andrew
Andrew the cute
gay producer intern
would you date somebody
if they put pee
on their face
like do you
I mean do you
completely like
do you have clear pee
you wait until
like you finally
oh I don't even know
how clear the pee is
like how hydrated
I didn't watch it
I didn't watch her
I didn't watch it go down
but any
it doesn't matter
what she put on her face
she had cystic acne
and she needed to go to a dermatologist.
No pee was going to help that.
Listen, even if I didn't have cystic acne,
I'm not putting pee on my face.
Her skin is clear now, so honestly...
But it wasn't the pee that fixed it.
This is irrelevant.
Also, she's moved on.
This is a TBT.
It's gross.
Speaking of pee on your face.
We're moving on.
Our guest today,
I was going to say is real funny
because that's how we introduce everybody.
But he's a funny dude.
He's my co-host on Vice Live.
Uh, he is a musician.
He's out here in these streets doing what he does.
Uh, give it up for our Houston expert.

the last year i want to have beautiful skin flawless skin as much as possible i spend a
lot of money on moisturizers toners face washes and if pee can be part of the equation to make

On the scale

This is not Planned Parenthood
You don't need a specimen
We're all set
Before we talk about
Houston
Honey
The high waters
Are so high
Come on
My pants
Your pants
Oh yeah I have these
Very cute vintage
Abercrombie pants on
That are cut off
It's a culotte
Yeah, I love showing off my ankles.
I got nice ankles, nigga.
But your socks are pulled up to meet the-
So I went to Nordstrom Rack to get some socks,
and I bought these polo socks,
and I didn't realize until I got home,
but they're the athletic socks,
so they're hella long,
and I was kind of not feeling it.
But when you're in the cold, they're really good.
They keep my whole-
Basically, these socks go up to my knee.
Y'all out there in Radio Land,
y'all can't really see a nigga,
You know what else keeps your leg warm in the wintertime?
Fucking pants.
A full pant.
Full pants.
All the way down.
I dress better than both of y'all.
Wow.
I'm going to say that for the record.
I can't believe you just said that in front of my clavicles.
That's the funniest thing that you've said.
I'm a fan of your clavicles, though.
Wow.
Fat Tony, thank you guys so much for listening to the podcast.
I think we're done.
I am crying.
Wow.
If you don't get your Salvation Army ass.
Oh, my God.
I would rather pee on your face.
You don't get your Salvation Army ass.
How dare you say you dress better than us.
I'm just keeping it in the book.
The level of confidence.
Is this what Houston is?
Yeah.
This delusion for grandeur?
I'm a real Houston ass nigga, let me tell you.
Fat Tony's the type to look like he got hand-me-downs,
but he paid like $100 for the shit that he has on.
That's a fact.
It's like, wow, did your ancestors give you that?
No, no, no, no.
I went to this, you know, off-brand site.
I'm a big H-Town vintage wearing ass nigga.
How is the thrifting in Houston?
I would say it's really good.
I mean, I got into it there because Houston, first of all,
Houston's the fourth biggest city in the country.
Ah, the fourth.
What's the first?
The first is New York.
Okay.
Well, there we are.
There's a lot of rich people in Houston who have estate sales
and just get rid of all their shit.
So coming up, I'd find Matt Polo, Matt Banana Republic,
Matt Abercrombie going to thrift stores.
Wait, you said people with a lot of money and then you.
Then you said Banana Republic, Express.
No, I'm not talking about these mall brands that typically a lot of yuppie ass fools wore back in the day.
A lot of those would get handed down to all the thrift stores.
And as a teenager, I would buy a ton of it.
When you were a teenager, you're like, oh, these are big brands.
Yeah, I mean, they're not just big brands, but like cute brands.
I used to work at Abercrombie & Fitch when I was a teen.
Me too.
It was my first job.
I was a model, a floor model.
Didn't that shit stink?
Meaning I just stood in the front of the store and sprayed it with that nasty-ass perfume.
That shit was so nasty.
It was like company policy to keep that sprayed over and over, and the music had to be so loud.
That place was trash.
Is Abercrombie still around?
Yeah.
Because they had a moment where everybody wanted to be seen with the—well, not everybody.
Everybody white wanted to be seen walking out of the store with them naked-ass bags.
It's funny, when I worked there, I never wore Abercrombie.
I thought it was corny.
I've never owned anything from Abercrombie & Fitch, still.
These cute pants I have on are my first Abercrombie.
I don't like, one, I didn't like their stitching.
I didn't like the little logos.
I didn't like it.
It just seemed like the mall.
Yeah, it seemed like an obscure mall.
So when you were in high school, what did you wear?
What kind of clothes were you wearing?
A lot of polo.
Houston niggas love polo.
Yes.
Listen, I had a polo windbreaker that I would not take off even in the summertime.
I thought I was the shit because I had it.
I've never owned anything polo.
Wow.
I'm wearing polo every day.
This, like, jacket is, like, denim jacket is polo western, a retired Ralph brand.
Polo western?
Yeah.
So that means it has, like, the ba-ow-na-ow-na-ow-na-ow.
It comes with a bolero tie.
Polo loves western wear.
Oh, look at that little corduroy collar you got going on there.
I love corduroy.
I love corduroy.
I also love corduroy.
Anyway, but that's because that's what I used to wear when I was a little kid.
I looked like an ugly corduroy pant.
But now, so are you born and raised in Houston?
I was born and raised in Houston, Texas.
And where are your parents from?
My mother is from Houston.
She's from the same neighborhood as me, Third Ward.
My father is from Nigeria.
Okay, so how did he get to Houston?
Okay, real question.
So my father was in the Nigerian Civil War when he was a teenager.
this really major thing that changed the landscape of nigeria and a lot of africa after that war
ended he was on the on the losing side of that war shit was really fucked up you know they were
like mad people starved it was it's it's really a traumatic thing but after that he scrapped up
some funds and he moved to the u.s first he came to oklahoma wait worked there for a while and felt
like it was too cold and moved down
to Houston. Now, Houston
has the most Nigerians
outside of Nigeria except for
London. And I think a lot of Nigerians
come to Houston because the climate
is so similar to Nigeria.
Look at us learning stuff. Okay, Snapple
facts, come through. This is great.
Come on, facts under the cap of a Snapple.
So wait, okay, so your
dad moved to Houston. Yeah.
He went to Oklahoma. I would have
thought, yeah, I would have
went to Detroit because that's like the
cheapest place to live. Ah, $12 house.
I think he must have flew
to New York first and then got the fuck
out of there. He just had a layover
in New York. He didn't stay in New York.
It's cold and dirty and expensive?
Nah, what else is there? Oh, Oklahoma.
Yeah, well, he luckily
got his ass to the H and he went to the
University of Houston. He was a janitor
to pay for his studies
and my mom was a TA in his
German class because my mom majored in
German. She got her master's
in Munich and when she came back
from germany oh your mom is sexy the ta she is she was a ta in this class and he was failing and
she stepped to him and was like you should drop this class and they started fucking this is a
love story this i hope that you're doing your pilot right now she said you should drop this
class so she could bang him it worked out because i'm here wow that's wow that is a compelling love
story that we need to see in the movies this is a rom-com you could star in it as a mom you could
be my dad marie you could be my mom sydney that tony it's time to go
i mean i could be a janitor though i got yeah i could do it uh hilarious okay so you you were in
houston all your life born and raised there i never left houston till i was like 23 and that's
when I first moved out I moved to LA that's my first time moving out of my parents house 23 yeah
okay I got a record deal and me and my buddies decided to I mean it's not even about like record
deal it wasn't like you know I got hella rich but I finally got some money and could move somewhere
else and start my life and I moved around a lot I moved to LA we stayed there for six months
then I kind of moved to Brooklyn
I wasn't living here properly but I was
crashing with friends for like damn near a year
You were a vagabond. I was a straight
vagabond. He was a rolling stone
Then I took my bitch ass back to Houston
started living between
Houston and Mexico City
in 2016. Working on some
turquoise jewelry. Then at the end of 16 I took my
bitch ass back to LA and now
I'm back in Brooklyn. Have you killed someone?
Because this is too much hopping around
to sound like some America's Most Wanted realist
I just like to travel and like check out the vibe.
I feel like as an artist, it's been to my benefit to live in different places and connect with so many different people.
It influences my work and it just builds my network and it's just fun.
And all these cities are really beautiful and really important to my whole development.
Okay, well, let's talk about the people in Houston.
Are they attractive?
Because in my mind, the men are like big bearded football players and the women are all fat.
Houston got a lot of fat motherfuckers.
Back in middle school, Houston was declared the fattest city in America.
I believe it.
There's a lot of unhealthy ass niggas in Houston.
But I think that that is starting to change.
Over the last few years, I've seen so many vegan and vegetarian and health conscious places, especially in my neighborhood, in my very black neighborhood of Third Ward.
Why is it called Third Ward?
Yeah.
It's just broken down into wards.
Kind of like New Orleans is broken down into an award.
So there's First Ward, Second Ward, Third Ward.
So when I hear ward, I feel like that means it's poor.
Ward is like a neighborhood.
But ward doesn't sound like a neighborhood.
Ward sounds like, ugh.
Like almost like jail or prison or something like that.
Right, ward.
Yeah.
I'm a ward of the state.
Ward, cell block ward nine.
Yeah, ward number two.
Yeah.
Seventh ward.
Yeah.
I feel like that's where the levees broke.
It was in the ward.
Wow.
Seventh ward.
Right?
Yeah, exactly what she said.
It feels like war.
like it's like it's a wait so have y'all ever been to houston no have y'all ever been to texas
i had to lay over in texas once i would say houston is also like the cultural capital of
texas if you're gonna visit texas i would say go to houston first you're gonna get
a little bit of everything it's the most diverse city in america according to the la times and a
lot of other really smart people to the la times tony who are you tony encyclopedia brown yo you

Puff Daddy, Sean, Mr. Combs,
he ain't living right.
He was going in about the music business
and Bad Boy and Diddy
But Mase went back to music like four times after that.
Exactly.
He went back to music shortly after that.
He went to church to do a diss track.
That's what it was.
There was a full choir behind him.
That's overwhelming.
And he was just yelling.
Have you ever been to one of these megachurches?
I have not.
Like, I went to, you know, church growing up as a kid.
It was a big deal.
But as soon as I got out, I was like, yeah, this ain't for me.
I went to Hillsong a couple times and, like, that's cool.
I went there and like they had raised so much money that I was like, oh, this is a cult.
There's no way.
Who is raising almost like it was over half a mil.
How long did it take for them to raise that much money, though?
They went to all of the church.
They did like a tour.
So I feel like a month.
Well, they got churches all over the world.
Yeah.
So that.
um but i was in miami when i was a kid and my dad took us to this mega church we got into the church
and there were like three levels of escalators like to get to like the mezzanine up top to watch
the service and i was like are we at a mall right now like it was crazy and it was a bunch of you
know sweaty black folks and ashy haitians and i was like this is the most boring but it was like
crazy to see
like all
the three screens
or whatever
like it was
crazy
just seems a little bit
much you know what I mean
it is a
it's a lot of bit much
it kind of takes you
out of the zone
of wanting to
give to the spirit
you know
when it's all this
gaudy shit happening
right
it's like
Beyonce about to come out
what's happening here
speaking of Beyonce
she's from Houston
Beyonce is from
my neighborhood
Third Ward
and her childhood home
was one street over
from me
okay well let's talk
about this
I feel like the people
want to know
can Beyonce read
oh is there a debate about her
reading skills
there's a debate about
have you ever heard Beyonce speak
Beyonce looks
and sounds like a Houston
girl from my neighborhood she is
exactly like every yellow bone
girl that I knew growing up
I thought they called them red bone
that's a different type of tone
thank you for
red bone has like a different type of complexion
yellow bone has like a
yellow type of complex. I thought yellow. You heard
that? A yellow type of complex. Oh, yellow.
Houston niggas also love
yellow bone girls. It is kind of a sickness.
It's a disease.
Get well soon. I mean, how
is Houston doing seeing that
Beyonce's from there? I mean, it kind of
puts y'all more on the map.
Houston, Texas
in general, Texans love themselves.
Texans love any product that's from
Texas, anybody that's from Texas.
Texas beef. So her being
such a big fucking star,
Houston people
are proud as shit
and are bragging about it
this very moment
I'm doing it right now
clearly
you're so hyped
I was like
is Beyonce related to you
I love Beyonce
if I stand on my tiptoes
in my mom's bathroom
I can see her
I can see her childhood root
like come on Tony
she wasn't there
when you was there
did you ever meet her
I've never met her
but I did meet Kelly Rowland
recently
she was cool
and you've never met Beyonce
that doesn't correlate
it doesn't go together
yeah fat Tony day
you should have Beyonce come
yeah
I'm gonna pull some strings
you better pull some
some real big strings
now it's
now Beyonce
the way she looks
is that like
the norm in Houston
like how
I would say that
how are the girls
women are beautiful in Houston
what's your type actually
what is
what's my type
I'm looking
I'm looking at your look
and I look like you like
check other
but
I don't really have a type
white women
when you say I don't have a type
I don't really have a type
I like all kind of girls
black girls
mexican girls asian girls it don't really matter that's not like others still like she she gotta
be exotical nah i think it's corny when like niggas are like yo it's gotta be exotic looking
i also think that that's like super fucking lame it's self-hating that it is yeah there's self-hate
in like being like yes my mother looks like this but i don't want anybody that looks like that
you need to look completely different from everything that i grew up around i'm not a
fan of that at all but i do think people should love what they love be into what they're into
Oh, here you go.
I honestly don't have a type.
Fat Tony Day.
Fat Tony Day.
Well, Kodak Black, ugh, hate him.
Is he from Houston?
No, he's from Florida.
He's a dumb, he's a Haitian dude.
Just a dusty little gremlin who looks like a turd that you might have stepped on and then been like, ah, and then you like wipe the poop off your shoe.
He looks like that.
And he was like, oh, I don't, you have to be light skinned to date me.
Yeah, that is lame to me.
And I was like, but your teeth ain't even light.
Yeah, but Kodak, whatever his name is, needs money to get those girls.
I'm a Kodak Black fan, by the way, even though he's very, very problematic.
He's an amazing rapper.
Amazing rapper?
He's made songs.
That doesn't even enunciate his words.
I'm disappointed.
He's made songs that have straight made my ass cry.
I love his music.
Made your ass cry.
That made you cry.
Man, I love his Painting Pictures album.
Album.
The whole thing.
I can't believe this
I love his Heartbreak Kodak album
that came out last year
I fuck with Kodak black music
but he very problematic
and I gotta call it out
I don't like him talking about
him not fucking with dark skinned girls
I'm not a fan of his sexual assault case
he got a sexual assault case?
he's been arrested like 7 times
I mean he's got all those tattoos on his face
that makes sense
and his bantu knots be looking real dry
just a dusty little man
I didn't know that he was Haitian though
I can't believe I shared that with y'all
I'm really actually surprised at that
He's Dominican
He's a Dominican man that don't speak any Spanish
All the secret Haitians out there
You know my nigga Eric Andre, he's Haitian
I did know that
But he's also half Jewish, yes?
Yeah, his mom's Jewish
He's very wild
He is a wild ass nigga, that's for sure
He's on the spectrum
Shout out to Eric
No wait, Fat Tony
Can you talk about the music that's in Houston?
Sure
Besides Beyonce
Okay, so Houston is one of the most important rap cities of all time.
Oh, here we go.
You know?
Chop and Screw.
Thank you.
DJ Screw, rap a lot, records.
Artists like Zero and Lil Flip.
Oh, I like Zero.
Zero and Kodak kind of have a similar vibe to their music.
They both make that vulnerable street nigga music.
But I can understand Zero when he raps.
Okay, and then is Paul Wall from Houston?
Paul Wall is from Houston.
Now, here's another thing about Houston.
Houston is kind of divided into the north side and the south side.
The north side of Houston, in my opinion, is a slightly different vibe from the south side.
Okay.
And their artists growing up didn't really fuck with the south side artists.
Back when I was a child and I wasn't really made aware of this, there was a big beef.
North side niggas and south side niggas would rob each other, get into fights, kill each other.
Growing up as a kid, I never went to the north side.
I only stayed on the south side of town.
Well, which side is the better side?
Well, Beyonce's from the south side.
I would say this.
The north side, in my opinion, is kind of like the more country side.
There's a neighborhood there called Acre Homes.
Oh, so they got porches and whatnot.
There's a lot more ranches, and it just feels like it's more of an old school vibe.
The south side is where the downtown is.
It's more of a metropolitan vibe.
a lot of colleges
are on the south side
so why are they fighting
Paul Wall's
a north side nigga
by the way
and I do mean nigga
why are they
but why are they fighting
it sounds like
both sides are doing well
it was just some
dumb beef
it was just some
dumb beef
and a lot of the rap artists
were from the south side
at first
it wasn't until
artists like Paul Wall
and Slim Thug
and Mike Jones
broke into the mainstream
Mike Jones
they switched the house
they are all
from the north side
what is Mike Jones doing
probably
trying to pay his taxes off.
How much he owed
a lot of money in taxes?
Hell yeah,
that nigga did.
Oh my God,
but who doesn't?
Okay.
I mean,
I don't.
Okay,
so you're a big music fan,
you're a musician.
Yeah.
Sidney said,
when I got here,
you had taken your shirt off
to show her a tattoo
that you have on your body?
Oh yeah,
I got a couple,
but I was showing her
my Prince tattoo
right above my bikini
kill tattoo.
And Prince,
my number one favorite artist
of all time.
Is he from Houston?
He's not.
He's from Minneapolis.
Minneapolis.
I don't even know where that is on a map.
Houston niggas do love Prince like a motherfucker.
Favorite, your top three Prince songs.
Oh, okay.
Let's go around the table.
Ballad of Dorothy Parker, Erotic City.
I don't know these.
Me neither.
And Raspberry Beret.
Those are going to be my top three right now.
But I'm like a super fan.
I'm like obsessed with this nigga's music.
It's hard for me just to pick a top three.
Better for me to pick a top three albums.
You dig?
And I would say Dirty Mind, number one, Sign of the Times, and Parade.
My three favorite Prince records.
So do you have three favorite Prince songs?
I'm so embarrassed, but no.
Like, I know of Prince.
Obviously, I've heard his music.
When he passed away, everybody was blasting it.
But, like, I didn't have that type of connection with him.
I know he's, like, iconic and obviously has changed the way niggas wear blouses.
No way!
Thank you.
And like the Dave Chappelle skit, like I was like, oh, Prince.
But I don't have a specific song that I'm like, yes.
Do you think that Prince is too dated for people our age and younger?
Well, see, Prince and Michael Jackson were contemporaries.
Yes.
So most people went the Michael Jackson, like mainstream people went the Michael Jackson route.
But I mean, I don't know.
They didn't listen to Prince.
I think Prince is something that like your parents listen to.
Yeah.
And if they listen to it, that's how you know his music.
My parents didn't listen to Prince.
Yeah.
I feel like Prince is like a big cult following.
Like a lot of people who are really into him are like me, who are like get really like
deep, deeply, deeply obsessed.
I mean, you got a tattoo of his face or his body?
I have a tattoo of his symbol.
But it also says Prince.
Yeah.
And you know, for like me, Prince is like more than just the music.
It's kind of an identity thing.
Because growing up, musically, it was really inspiring for me to see him, a black man,
who touched every genre from funk to rock music.
It was great to see a man that didn't stick to gender roles,
that was not afraid to wear anything.
Oh, and he knew how to cat-eye the fuck out of his lids.
It was great.
That was really important to me
because growing up, I wasn't with the super masculine shit.
I was a black guy that made rap music and played rock music.
And just seeing him was like,
wow, this is somebody that I can really identify with.
you know someone that's not afraid to break
barriers and be more inclusive
okay you are clearly
a Prince expert as well
I mean if he was here and you were
able to meet him what would you say to him
I would love to just listen to him cause I feel
like the nigga spit a lot of game
you know he has a lot of game
also he was like the perfect amount of shady
like the perfect amount of shady
yes his interviews you see him in the audience
you're like okay auntie
he knew how to cut a mean side eye
It's just like, is that what we're doing?
And I think that's why he had like a cult
because he was very specific.
He wasn't like a people's pleaser.
He was like, this is what the fuck I'm doing.
And actually, I don't want to work with everybody.
I really don't.
And I admire that.
That is how I feel as a musician.
Like, I'm not worried about just working with
who is the hottest or whatever.
I want to work with people that share my vision
and want to make music that is specific and unique
and kind of goes against the grain, you know?
When I see music going one way, I'm always trying to go the other way.
Have you worked with anybody from Houston?
Hell yeah.
Max O'Kream, Ill Faded.
I worked with a lot of Houston niggas.
Who's Ill Faded?
I'm interested.
He is a producer.
He works with this artist, Dice Soho, who is signed to Mike Dean's label.
You saying names?
A lot of people that are from Houston.
Mike Dean is a producer and an engineer who got his start working with Rap-A-Lot Records in Houston.
And now he works with Kanye West, Travis Scott.
Huge name in music
Kardashian
Right right right
Right right right
Now do you have any advice
Like if me and Sydney were like
Oh you know what
We should start doing music
Yes
What's step one
Alright step one
I would say
Don't write nothing down
Just try to see
What comes out of yourself first
Because I think
A big mistake
A lot of people make
Is trying to make music
That they think
Sounds like something
That they want
Rather than just listening
To what their actual voice is
Find your voice
that way first and foremost
and then try to acquire the skills.
So listen to the track and then write the song.
Yes. Nigga, you ain't got to worry. We ain't writing shit down.
Okay? Nothing. Everything is very
like free-flowing, like riffing,
like off the top of the dome
type of situation. So nothing's going
to rhyme. No, not at all.
Do y'all have any musical talent?
Wow! Of course we do!
Well, you know, I didn't want to say anything.
We sing every week on this
damn podcast. Can I please hear something?
No, no. I don't hear.
How about you first, Marie, solo?
I don't feel anything.
She's uninspired.
Speaking of music, wasn't Selena...
Selena was based in Texas, yes?
She's from Corpus Christi,
but played her last concert in Houston at the Astrodome.
And is a big Houston icon.
I'm also a crazy big fan of her.
I'm sleeping.
Okay, you see that?
Fine, okay.
No, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up.
I'm thinking of you.
Okay, you stop, you stop, you stop, you stop.
We should have stopped.
We good.
Can I make you love me too?
We good.
Do you hear the people in the back?
Yes, I do.
Shut the fuck up.
Okay, so now do you think, because if Selena hadn't died, J-Lo wouldn't be here.
You agree or disagree?
Ooh, this is a good combo now.
I was just talking about this
and I do agree
because that movie
changed her entire career
right
right
because J-Lo
as a performer
she can dance
but J-Lo is not
she's not a sanger
I just think her
playing the role
of such an icon
whether she did
a great job or not
was automatically
going to put her up
as like wow
you're incredible
you just played
somebody that we
really revered
that we really missed
and lost
what Selena did
for J-Lo
is what Ray Charles did for Jamie Foxx.
Exactly.
That's what it was.
Exactly.
And because people knew about Jamie Foxx
and he was getting stuff,
but after Ray, it just took him to the top.
He won an Oscar for it.
Yeah.
And he killed the role.
He did.
He really nailed it.
That's a Texas nigga.
He from Tyler, Texas.
Look at that.
Look at us.
Wow.
Everything's connected.
Oh my God.
Look how small the world is.
I think we're so great at what we do.
Yeah, honestly, I didn't want to say it.
and we're being really nice today.
We haven't really said
a single mean thing today.
Honest?
This is weird.
We could be a lot meaner than this.
This is very strange.
Besides talking about
my beautiful ankles.
Oh, no.
We could have really
roasted them ankles.
Roast them?
Come on, nigga.
Them tiny ass, thin ass
point guard ankles.
Nigga, I got nice ankles.
Don't you dare take your shoe off
and put it on the table.
We don't even want to...
I mean, you shave?
You be nearing?
You have nice legs.
Thank you.
For a short guy?
I'm not short.
I'm 5'10".
That's average.
When a man says he's 5'10",
that means he's 5'8 and a half
kiss my ass
what sense is the average
what I'm short
you're average for a middle of the mall niggas
but like I mean
yes did you say you're average
wow I mean that's
producer what is your height
6'2
nigga you are not 6'2 sit your little ass down
sit your little ass down
so now 6'2 is average
Andrew was like pull up the end
6'2 average
Did you see the way he got the fuck up
He was like
The skinny jeans unrolled all the way
You see that
Andrew almost boiled his dick out
And put it right on a table
There it is
He said I'm sorry you're five what
I can't hear you over your shortness
Andrew says shut your Keebler elf ass up
I love that
That was a great moment
Can we clap for that
White man reclaiming his time
reclaiming his time
reclaiming his height
he said I'm 5'10
yeah
wait wait wait
Houston food
let's talk about it
let's talk about it
Houston got some great food
it's always bigger
in Texas or whatever
so what's up
what are y'all known for
we're known for that
smoked barbecue
yes
okay so what
that means like
they cover it
while it's on the grill
yes yes
it's just a different
style of cooking it
and you know
I'm really not an expert
on this
because I don't even eat meat
but um
it don't look like
you cook either
but whatever
I do cook.
What you be cooking?
You be slicing that
hell of vegetables.
Tofu, sis.
Slice it.
I don't be cooking
soy out of my crib,
but I be cooking
hell of vegetables.
Be currying that bitch up.
Oh, you be julienning
the carrots?
Yeah.
What's your go-to?
I could cook something
that could change y'all life.
Honestly,
I eat the same thing
every night.
Me and my girl
make the same thing
damn near every night
for like two years now.
But we like switch it up
with different vegetables
and different spices.
But it is essentially
just a shitload of vegetables
in a pot
stewed up with beans.
And the beans can rotate
from kidney beans to garbanzo
to black beans.
And we eat that bitch
with a tortilla or a pita
or maybe some farro.
It sounds like after y'all finish cooking,
y'all be hungry again.
We'd be full, nigga.
You'd be like, oh my God.
Y'all seem like a camping-ass couple.
Like y'all just be in the hills somewhere.
I don't camp,
but I do like to hike.
And I'm going on a good one
tomorrow morning.
Here?
Somewhere in the Catskills or something.
Me and my partner going out there.
Partner?
You heard that?
You're a truly different Fat Tony
And that's great
So wait
So you got the barbecue down
Anything else that's like
Well
That stands out
I have to talk about this
Because I made a song about it
Called Drive Thru
What a Burger
What a Burger
What a Burger
Is the fast food staple
Of Houston, Texas
Oh that's y'all In-N-Out
That is our In-N-Out
That's our Fat Burger
That's our Shake Shack
That weak ass shit
Y'all eat here in New York
What a Burger
Is incredible
I used to eat it
Many many many many many
times when I was a child. Yeah, but what's the
fries like? Because the fries at In-N-Out
are trash. Whataburger
is the best fast food chain
hands down. The only thing
rivaling it is Del Taco because they
got hella options.
They don't have a Del Taco. I don't
eat fast food. My body is a mother
effing temple. I don't either. I don't care.
But Whataburger, Sydney, you
have a question for the listeners? Yes.
I'm thinking listeners. Is he right
about this Whataburger? I've never
even heard of Whataburger. Speak on it, Texas
back me up is it on is it on the map is it on the map like is it one billion served is it just one
what a burger or like if i go to houston and they're all over the place like y'all niggas
ain't cultured ah you're gonna say that on our podcast not cultured we've literally had every
single weird beautiful sexy person on this podcast and here you are telling us that we
not cultured first of all this podcast is for the culture it's for y'all to you the expert to
educate us. We're here just
open listening to what you're talking about.
So how fucking dare you call us
uncultured? Rude!
Will I be the first person to get kicked off
this podcast? Nah, we got 15
minutes, but we gonna keep it
real tight. I don't know if we should air this.
It's gonna be four more
minutes. Sydney says she don't
wanna air this. I don't wanna air this. This is
unacceptable. Tony, how you
gonna fix this? Don't tell me I waste my
motherfucking morning. Y'all better air this shit.
yo the houston confidence that this man has yeah this is sasha fierce right here sis yeah
he showed up in his capri culottes his gauchos talking about y'all ain't got no culture uh you
ain't got no pants on yeah you think you 5'10 because your pants are short but your legs ain't
long okay you showed and you came in here and you showed me your chest and whatnot and i feel like
you could still go back to the gym.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I was showing you my tattoo.
You showed me your chest.
I was showing you my tattoo specifically.
I saw your little areolas.
You just happened to see the areola.
You got a little...
You have rat nipples, just to let you know.
My nipple actually getting hard right now.
No, it's really...
Cindy, this talk is turning him on.
Oh, my God.
The little chest hair that you have on,
I think you need some, like,
Latisse for the chest hair.
Do you think I need more chest hair?
Yeah.
Let me see your chest hair.
Undo the top button.
It's a struggly-ass chest hair.
Oh.
No, no, no, I can see
You don't need more?
Well, because the chest is kind of bird-like
Yeah, I told you, there's no definition
You tell me I got a bird chest
Yes! It's dainty
Wait, wait, wait, you telling me
Yes
Do you speak English? Do you understand?
Yes
You need to do some chest press or whatever
Nah, you gotta do some push-ups, really
The nerve of this nigga, how dare he
Yeah
I thought he was cool.
Button up that corduroy
and get the fuck out.
With your little ass wrists.
You're dainty.
He got the Ray Charles lady wrists.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, we're going back on track.
So Tony,
I've never been to Houston.
So tell me things that I should do
if I go there.
Touchdown,
where am I going first
and then where am I ending my night?
Okay, Houston, Texas.
One thing that you should definitely do
is visit the museums.
We have some of the best art museums
in the motherfucking world
from the fine arts museum
to the contemporary art museum
to the Menil
I think you can spend
the first half of your day
hitting all three of those
that's a good like
three, four hours
if you really put the time in
so I'm wiping out
my whole day
for museum
I think it's absolutely worth it
I think it's worth it
you should also
go to Papa Do's
which is a seafood restaurant
that is a staple
of Houston, Texas
Papa Do's is like
where I'd go
for my graduations
when I got a good
report card
it's like
where every
it's where every
black family goes
to stunt
or to have brunch
oh it's y'all
Red Lobster
it's way
louder than
Red Lobster
don't blame me
it's what
nigga don't you dare
when you're here
you're family
don't you dare
Papa Do's
when you're here
why don't I just go to
Papa Do's first
and then go to the museum
okay
go to Papa Do's
go to Papa Do's
then take a nap
I don't feel like
Papa Do's is really
morning food
like going to the museum
is a morning activity
right
is it
yes
so you go to museums
okay
you hit Papa Do's
if you're still hungry
you go to Frenchie's Chicken
in Third Ward
Houston Texas
I'm gonna be hungry
yes
Frenchie's Chicken
Frenchie's
back in my meat eating days
best fried chicken
on the planet
Third Ward staple
some Creole niggas on it
yum yum yum yum yum
very yum
so Tina knows in them
okay
basically you need to eat
a lot of food
cause you gonna probably
go to Whataburger
after that too.
Waterburger.
So basically I got to go there.
I haven't eaten for days.
Yes, yes.
Touchdown, go to the museum,
build up my appetite some more.
Then go to Papa Do's
because I'm like famished
and then I'm like,
it's seafood
so I'm not going to be that full.
Right, right.
It's going to be like a moose boosh.
Yeah.
Then you take your ass
to the Galleria,
a.k.a. the Gallo.
It is a mall.
Mall.
I was like,
that sounds like a mall.
It's like the eighth biggest mall
in the world.
The Gallos sound like
where they kill people.
Yeah, I'm not going there.
the gallows nah
so is it like Crenshaw Market
is it kind of like that no
maybe it's more like Beverly Center
oh okay oh Beverly Center big
shopping area in LA big big shopping
fancy flashes is there like a boutique
specifically known to Houston
that I should go to in this mall
no
actually you know what
how about this Johnny
Johnny Dang TV Johnny the man

Look at that.
So I have to go
get a George Foreman
while I'm in the mall.
Yes,
go and buy a George Foreman grill
and go get a grill
from TV Johnny.
Okay.
And now your evening.
I think if you go to Houston,
you have to go
to a strip club.
Houston is a motherfucking
strip club city.
From Be Live
to onyx onyx i've heard of i've heard of onyx yeah i think you should spend your entire night there
eat some wings uh-huh throw some money show off your new grill i'm not have my former grill i have
my foreman grill at the strip club and be like your strippers look hungry i'm just here to help
make them paninis make them panini oh i love panini okay i got that i'll honestly i might do
that that sounds like promising honestly that sounds like a cute day but i'm not hitting three
museums in one day?
I'll do one museum and then
slowly drive by the other. If you only do one,
I would say go to the
Menil because you're going to get a lot of
classic stuff and contemporary stuff
and it's really short. You could probably
spend like an hour max there.
Heard that, Sydney? We could be in and out in 20 minutes.
I think that's my shit.
I think that's more of my speed. 20 minutes.
20 minutes. Just run through the museum.
Real one night stand-ish. You got to pay or is it one of these
suggested donation sucker places?
Also, you need to rent a car
because Houston is a car city.
You ain't getting nowhere
if you're trying to bust it
and if you're going to Uber everywhere,
you're going to break the bank.
Okay, okay, cool, cool, cool.
Rent you a car.
Rent you a slab
and go to McGregor Park.
A slab?
Is that like a slab of meat?
A slab is like an old school car.
It's like a Cadillac
that is kitted out.
It got candy paint on it.
It's really bright, beautiful.
And McGregor Park is a park
in my neighborhood
where every Sunday
all the niggas that have slabs
and fly ass cars
pull up and basically
put on a car show.
Okay, so I should go there
on a Sunday
so I can do all this stuff
and go to the car show
before the Onyx?
Yes,
because you're going to
probably make some friends
that want to go
to the strip club with you.
Oh, we can spend
their money.
Now, you will find niggas,
you will definitely find niggas
in Houston
that want the trick on you.
Okay, now let's take a step back
because we are slim,
built, sexy women.
Yeah.
I feel like, you know,
Houston is a city in my mind
of like thighs and butts.
That is a fact.
So how would we do with our sexy ass size two bodies?
I think you find some niggas out there that love slim girls, too.
And y'all would be like exotic to them.
Just like, oh, we don't get this every day.
Oh, baby, I could see all of your bones.
Wow.
But you're right.
Houston loves fat asses, thick people.
Everybody thick.
It was the fattest city at one point.
You know, that's the culture.
But it's fine.
There's people out there for everybody.
Everybody's got a tattoo.
Absolutely.
Is there a cute gay community, like a queer section for me?
Yes, there is.
LGBTQ?
There's a neighborhood called Montrose that is traditionally the gay and queer community.
Montrose.
There's a lot of dope gay bars over there, too.
Yeah, what's a spot that I would thrive in, you know?
I would say just go to Montrose, and there's this little section where it's mad bars and clubs.
Just hit any of those.
I've been to a few of them.
I don't know the names of them.
One of those late nights in Houston, huh?
And you're like, I'm in a gay bar.
I don't know what gay bar.
But it's pretty gay in here.
I'm here with the gals.
Here with my partners.
You know, we just riding up, pulling up.
We supporting, we allies and whatnot.
Ally niggas.
Just park my slab across from this gay club.
Yes.
Love it.
Here for it.
Okay.
Is it expensive to live in Houston?
I would say it's pretty damn affordable.
For such a big-ass city, it's probably the most affordable major city in this country.
You can get a nice place there
About a thousand bucks a month
For how many bedrooms?
I had an apartment there
That was $750
It was two bedrooms
Big ass living room
And it was in the middle of Third Ward
Right near downtown
How close to Beyonce's house?
Beyonce old house or her current house?
Beyonce old house
Because you said Third Ward
About ten minutes
Okay well that sounds
To me that sounds great
I'm here for it
Houston's a great place.
I feel like you represented it really well, very hard.
I love the H.
I feel like if I needed somebody to come in and rep a place,
you did a great job.
I wouldn't even rep New York this hard.
I'd be like, go to New York.
I'd be like, try not to get robbed.
Don't ask nobody for directions.
Yeah, don't go to the Bronx.
Put your wallet in your butt.
Why the Bronx?
Shame.
Because the Bronx is far and dusty.
Yeah, it's just like, why would you go there?
What is your purpose?
You go all the way up there for what?
To the Yankee game?
Like, ugh, I don't like baseball that much.
You go all the way up there for a chopped cheese?
You can get that in literally any borough.
Yeah.
It's unacceptable how far it is from everything.
Would you say that New York is y'all's favorite city?
No.
Absolutely not.
What is y'all's favorite city?
I don't know.
I don't know yet, but I know this ain't it.
Where else have you been that you loved?
I really liked New Orleans.
New Orleans is amazing.
the food there is amazing
people are nice for no reason
just like real friendly
and I liked Denver
Colorado they were real nice to me out there
oh yeah I went for my birthday like last year
and they were just giving me
did you go for the weed
they were giving me edibles
we'd be in Ubers and people would be like
oh it's your birthday you're not from here
drugs, edibles
Denver's cute
I just feel like when I went it just wasn't
diverse enough for me
no but that's my i was there with my sister and we both have like big rude hair so they were like
well what's happening over there like we look like dolly parton drag queens out there like they it
was stuff that they don't see so they they were very open to us i would love to go to new orleans
with you okay i would love to we're gonna go now texas and louisiana close close connection there
Houston is on the east side of Texas, close to that state.
And growing up, I had mad friends from New Orleans.
We heard bounce music all the time.
I would say if you're from Houston, you have that culture in you as much as Texas culture.
Okay.
Y'all be eating crawfish and stuff?
Houston niggas love crawfish.
I have never understood it.
It looks gross.
I have never understood it.
It doesn't taste good.
I mean, I love a gumbo jambalaya, but I don't, crawfish?
No, thank you.
Back in college, our biggest event was our Black Student Union's Crawfish Boil.
Hundreds of people would fucking come.
We'd hire a Zydeco band to play.
That's Louisiana shit.
And it was just niggas pulling that little shit trails out of the little fish.
I just couldn't get it.
It's gross.
Yuck.
Yuck.
No gracias.
Not for me.
I mean
You know what
I feel like
A place that I really liked
Was San Francisco
But it was really expensive
Yeah
It was so expensive
But I love
Just
It looks great
And
Well everybody's so rich
Yeah
So many homes
And you look
You walk out of your house
And you're like
Damn look at the skyline
Like

The hills and stuff
The food is cute there too

solemn sad bridge yeah i mean if you're trying to jump that's the place you know if you want to

The audacity of your dusty ass.
I mean, you were playing music up top,

And I was like, actually, it seems like you're on coke.
I was like, whatever floats your boat, sir.
You know that person at the party that's like,
I'm so sober.
And it's like, dude, your nose is running,
