Now, what you want to do is let somebody else put it on you. And you want to. You see the clasp. You see the clasp. You see that part where the chain actually comes together because it's not an infinite loop. So, what you want to do is you want to put the clasp on the back of the neck. It may be a little warm right now. So, uh, you want people to put it on just like this. You want to, you want to get it in there.

Oh, there it is. Oh, yeah! When this man sings, angels cry and babies laugh. True story, you guys. Because it's just so beautiful. T-Pain is my guest today. Hello. Hello. Did you like that intro? That was really good.

Thank you. That was... It was different. I have not received such praise.

It's true. Like, hearing him sing is one of my favorite things in the world. Are are people still surprised that you can sing?

A little bit. A little bit. A little bit. I mean, like I said, it's been a while since I've had that much praise, uh, you know, since my last sexual encounter. Tongue does wonders.

Well, I do. Speaking of your tongue and a lyrical side. I'm going to get it. I'm going to get it. Pivoting, pivoting. I feel like we're getting, like, a wider scope of who you are as a musician lately. Like we're getting the ballads, but we're also getting tracks that are more like traditional T-Pain kind of stuff. Like, why drop this now?

You know, I've gotten a lot of uh misconceptions of T-Pain and mis-perceptions of T-Pain and stuff like that. And

What do you mean by that? What do you mean, misconception?

I mean, it's just like, you know, people think that it's just a, you know, they put me in the autotune category and the, you know, you must be talentless because this is a crutch and this thing blah, blah, blah. And and uh everybody's asking me, like, why haven't you sang before this? And why haven't you shown people this before this? And I've come to the conclusion that uh nobody's asked. Like, nobody Nobody's actually said, "Hey, can you show us that you can sing?" Everybody's just been like, "We already know you can sing."

And then you open up and it's like the the voice of an angel. Seriously. An angel.

Absolutely. Yeah. God.

Okay. All right. All right. Oh, there it is. Oh, yeah! I'm not good at putting chains on girls. I have been Because, uh ordain with a chain by T-Pain. No, you you call it what you want. Right. That's right. I'm just going to wear this. How heavy is this one? This is a light one, right?

I haven't weighed that one. I haven't weighed that one. I've only weighed uh, myself with it on before and after a poop.

So, you have it on before the poop, then you poop, and then you take it off and weigh yourself. Well, girls don't do that, so uh, I'll find it, I'll find another way. Maybe after a

I have absolutely poop. I've been married for 13 years. I know girls poop. Girls absolutely poop. Uh, trust me. I have the uh, the the nostril confirmation. Yeah.

Oh, oh, wow. That, uh, girls poop. That's more than anyone needs. Um,

Yeah.

Turn it away from that, you are also involved outside of music, you have a lot going on. I mean, you are now. I just, best decision I made this morning, switched uh, my Waze app to English US-T-Pain. That's right. Have you heard it yet, by the way?

I have not heard it yet.

First of all, it's the best case of all time.

Thank you, T-Pain approved. Thank you.

Do you want to hear yourself? You want to hear this?

I'll take it. Okay. Sure. Why not? Okay. That's pretty, that's you. You know, I'm really big in in the tech world. Most people wouldn't believe that I'm such a nerd because I'm so cool. And, uh, a lot of people wouldn't believe you can be the same

What's the nerdiest thing that you, that that you do?

The nerdiest thing that I do? I build computers for a living. Like, I like, that's my thing. Like, I charge people to build computers.

Like, you get in there with the CPU and the mother board?

I get in there. I get in there. CPU, processors, mother board, graphics cards. I get

Get a little RAM in there.

A lot of RAM. First of all, if you got to run, if you got to run the the G-Force graphics cards that I put in there, you're going to need some RAM, sir. Yes. You're going to need some RAM. You're going to need a lot of it. Yes. Okay. Because you don't want to start bringing that external hard drive stuff. You don't want to come in here with your with your USB 3 hard drives. Okay. No, no. Trying to run my, trying to run my G-Forces. Like, you know, don't don't come in here with that. You come in here with your internal hard drives and you and you're going to come in here with something sufficient to run this, okay? We got graphics cards that will literally melt your computer.

I heard this story where people will actually come up to you and tell you that they like a song better than yours, but you actually produced that other song. Right. Like, they're actually inadvertently hating on you but like loving you at the same time.

That happens a lot. Like, I would do an another artist's song and I do a song for me in the same day. And they're like kind of similar, and they'd be like, "Oh, you're trying to be like this other person." And they don't know that I did both songs.

Do you tell them? Like, do you set them straight?

Oh, no. No, no, no. It's much more entertaining if I don't tell them.

Because you are such a wise and sage just fountain of wisdom. Um, I wanted to get these keep keep going, right? Man, these adjectives. Women's adjectives. I can I can go all day. I can go all day. Um, I just wanted to get T-Pain's uncensored thoughts on a couple of things. I want your uncensored thoughts on taking selfies.

Holy sh-- Uh, you know what? Taking selfies is is cool. Okay. Taking selfies is cool. Sure. Taking selfies on Snapchat is the dumbest thing in my life.

What? But you have the filter. You got the filter.

You got the filter, but when you take a selfie, that's a special moment. Like, that's something that you really want to do. Like, that's something that you're taking time out of your day to do. Like, when people say, "Yo, can we take a selfie?" And I say, "Cool." And then they take it on Snapchat, and then it's over. But then they say, "Okay, now, can we get another one?" And I say, "What for?" You know why? Because the first one, fucking going away in 24 hours.

You can save, you can download.

You can download it, but everybody that you're sending it to. That's true. Secondly, this is true. You only got five mo' following you on Snapchat. Nobody's going to see this goddamn picture. I'm sorry. I fucking hate selfies.

No, no, no. I love this. I love this. So, it's like it's like the it's like the like, how many people in your life like after 4th of July or after New Year's Eve, like, "Hey, let's go back and look at that video of the fireworks we took?" Nobody's looking at us. Like, you know, nobody's going back and looking at your picture of T-Pain? No. You already forgot about that.

You know what? Because it's going to be one of those pictures that you get rid of when you run out of memory on your fucking 5 gig iPhone 4, or something.

Oh, now we're getting real. Now we're getting real with, ugh, you're going to rip on my 5 gig. What? Actually, mine's 128. Um,

Oh. Boom. That's right.

Okay. Oh, um, I know you're a fan. I know you're a fan. I want your uncensored thoughts on Game of Thrones. To watch.

How long have you been a an a fan?

Last year, February, I planned on going on a diet. But in order for me to do the diet, I couldn't go on the road anymore. Because, you know, on the road, it's going to be McGriddles and shit.

So, I'm going to I'm always going to pick McDonald's over anything. The diet's not, you're not a fan. No, I'm not a fan. So, I'm like, "Yo, guys," like, I'm telling my record label, my management, "You want me to go on a diet, let me stay home for a month." And I actually lost uh, 32 pounds.

Congratulations.

In a month. Oh, no. I gained it right back. Not now. Not now. I gained it back. But for February, it was amazing. And within that time, I got to I got to binge Game of Thrones.
