-Our first guest tonight is a Grammy Nominated musician
please welcome back to the show, Post Malone!
How are you, Post?
-Hey, everybody! How are you doing, Seth, what's going in?
-Not much, man. It's been a long time.
You were here in 2017, we didn't chat on the show then.
It's great to see you, how are doing?
-I'm fantastic, sir. I'm just kinda laying low right now.
And um, we had a great time on the show
so I appreciate you having us back, thank you, sir.
-Uh, you are nominated for three Grammys,
which is obviously gonna be a slightly different show
this year, but I imagine that was still very exciting?
-No, it's good stuff, you know.
Sorry, we got construction going on outside.
-Then I'm gonna jump -- I have a construction question.
-Sure. -You're in Utah right now,
correct? -Yes, sir.
-So I've heard one of the things you're building in your place
in Utah is an underground bunker,
is that what the construction is right now?
-Uh, you know, it might be part of it, you know.
We're doing some fun stuff over here
like marble beer pong tables, but, uh.
-[ Laughs ] -[ Laughs ]
-You know, the bunker's coming. Things take a little bit.
But we're figuring everything out, you know.
-Do you feel like -- -Maybe h--
-Hopefully I can keep my Grammys in there.
-That would be good.
Grammys in a bunkers just feels like, I mean,
a wonderful outcome. -That's pretty baller.
-[ Laughs ] Wait. Hey, do the construction guys,
are they aware, because I would imagine
a Utah construction company would not expect that they
would end up working on Post Malone's home,
are they aware on who they're working with?
-I think so. I kind of walk around in my, you know,
boxers all day, just around the place and check everything out.
So, I think, you know, they know it's me.
And everybody and we just kinda hang out.
And I offer 'em beers but they always say no, you know.
-That's good. -I just want to party.
-I feel like that's a good test for your construction crew.
[ Laughter ]
-It's not a test, I just wanna have fun!
-And you are enjoying -- I have certainly read that
you're enjoying your time in Utah.
-Mm, yes, sir, very much, you know.
LA was just a lot, you know.
Especially working on music and in LA
there's always something to do, there's always some place to be
and there always, you know, people around that you --
You know, here it feels good to be kind of, like you know,
secluded and relaxed.
And I can just kind of take my time and, and take it easy.
And work on being a better artist, you know?
-That would definitely strike me as one of the appeals,
but again, I read something that made me very jealous
because I heard you were maybe gonna build a bunk room
that could house 30 of your friends.
I was jealous because I don't have 30 friends.
-[ Laughs ] -Is there really a --
is there really a --? -I wish I didn't have
30 friends. -[ Laughs ]
Is there a world where you're gonna have 30 friends
visit you at once? -No.
But you know whenever, uh, things go down, if they go down,
you never know who's, who you're gonna have show up
at your front door and you'll be like, oh well, uh...
I don't have a place for you to stay.
But, you know, better safe than sorry, I guess.
Get everybody a bunk or a sleeping bag
or something like that, you know.
-See, that's very kind of you. That's very thoughtful.
Because I guess ultimately, I don't know if I have 30 friends
but I do feel like, if I had a bunker,
I know of at least 30 people who would show up.
-[ Laughs ] Right, exactly.
You know, you have to plan in advance.
-Yeah. Certainly if there's an apocalypse you don't want to be
in that awkward situation of, you know, saying
"You know, we really haven't talked that much
in the last 10 years. -Yeah, no, yeah.
You're my, like, fourth cousin, third removed,
but I still love you I think, so come on in.
-So, Post, I want to ask about this as well,
I know that you are a believer in the supernatural.
I -- it's not that I'm not, I just have never encountered
anything that has made me a skeptic.
But are you someone who -- I know you were
on "Ghost Hunters." -Mm-hmm.
-And was that an experience that made you --
is your belief in ghosts stronger after doing that?
-Yeah, I think, you know, after going on, um,
You know, going hunting with Zak and everything
and, and all that stuff, and we stayed at his museum in Vegas.
I love you Zak, text me.
-And so Zak, Zak gets a spot in the bunk room,
is that what I'm hearing? -Yeah.
Zak Bagans is definitely in here because if we need to
fight off any demons or anything after the apocalypse,
there's gonna be a whole bunch of them running around, so.
But, you know, it's weird because after we opened up
this creepy, creepy dybbuk box, I got in a car accident,
I got in like almost had a plane wreck, my house got broken into,
all that type of stuff.
But it was just, within a months' time.
It was really, really odd stuff.
But, I've always had, like, you know an interest in that.
And have had experience at my friend's house and things, but.
-And UFOs as well, you have been lucky enough to, uh, see
what you at least believe to be a UFO, that true?
-Right. Right. Yeah, hell yeah.
And especially here in Utah, things are, things are creepy
if you look up into the sky.
Sometimes I just go out at, like 4 am
with my night-vision goggles and just look up at the sky
and see if we can see anything. -Do you have any neighbors
who can see you? -Um, you know, it's weird
whenever I moved here there was one house across the street.
But now, I was talking to a builder the other day,
and now they're building 40 houses over there.
So, my back-up plan is in effect immediately.
-[ Laughs ] The real estate agents saying like,
these are these great -- these houses are great,
they have a view of Post Malone's place.
-Right, they have no idea what I get up to over here.
-They're like, don't be -- at night there's a man
will wander out with his night-vision goggles.
Don't overreact to that. -They don't know
that I'm watching them. -[ Laughs ]
