-So the acid actually lets you use other parts of your brain.
I'm not -- please don't take acid.
Like, I'm not telling people to take acid.
Like, I would never take it again.
-I'm telling people to take it. -Okay.
-I'm not advocating for acid, right?
-Be responsible.

-Hey, what's going on? It's Trey.
Back for another "Questionnaire of Life."
Today, we have rappers, industry, institutions, dudes.
Paul Wall and Termanology. What's going on, man?
-What it do? -It's kind of a big deal for me.
I've been listening to y'all for a while, so...
-Thank you, man. Thank you for having us.
-My voice cracks or anything, just ignore it.
I'm just going to roll with it.
-Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
-I'm going to start with you, Paul.
Favorite local Houston cuisine.
Barbecue, Vietnamese, or Tex Mex?
-Tex Mex.
Barbecue's a close second. But definitely Tex Mex.
I could eat it all day, every day, any variety
of whatever's on the menu. I'm all day Tex Mex.
-Okay, this one's for both of y'all.
What's the most important skill set to have
once the world finally collapses?
Weapon skills, agriculture skills, or engineering skills?
-I would say agriculture.
Because there's so much you could do once you figure out
how to grow food and manufacture and take care of--
the weapons and all of that definitely is important.
But if you don't got someone cooking for you,
what you going to eat?
If you don't got somebody growing food,
then how you going to get it?
-Let's say the zombie apocalypse broke out right now.
-Weapons. -Weapons.
-World War Z shit, how you getting out of Manhattan?
-All the weapons. All the weapons.
-Yeah. -Weapons and cars.
A big truck with a battering ram on it
and you can just beast through.
-Ooh-whee. Yeah.
The zombie? Now we talking weapons.
It's all weapons, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, it's all weapons training. How we getting out of NYC?
That's going to be tough. Maybe the water?
But I don't know how.
We going to jump on a paddle boat and pray.
-What's your favorite old man activity?
Grilling, yard work, or fishing?
-Grilling fo sho, man.
Shout out to my boy Mexican Mike.
We be getting in on the grilling.
Fishing is very relaxing.
And cutting the yard? Oh, no, sir.
It's too hot in Texas.
I'm allergic to the grass, too.
Saint Augustine grass, I'm allergic to that.
So, man, I hate cutting the grass.
-Yeah, same. That's an easy one.
Not even close.
-Now if you had said, like, stretching?
-Yeah, I was going to say--
-That's my number-one old man activity.
-If we could add one, I would say napping.
These days, man, I've been fond of sleep, like...
-So y'all got like a combined
what, three, four decades on the game now?
-Something like that.
We both been rapping our whole life, it seems like.
-Seems like. -Fresh out of high school.
-When you think about it, it's like for both of us,
this is our dream job, you know?
This is what we always wanted to be.
Professional emcees, you know what I'm saying?
For us to be able to have this as a career, man,
we don't take it lightly at all, man.
We love this job right here.
-That's a fact.
-Like I said, three, four decades.
And I've never really heard of either of you
being problematic like that.
Like, what's the trick
to just being a cool dude everybody fucks with?
-We've both had issues, though.
-I mean, for me, man,
I just stay humble. -Yeah.
-You come from such humble beginnings
that some of us came up,
and it's like how could you come and act like you big, bad,
better than everybody,
too tough for TV and too cool for school?
I'm not like that, man. I'm just cool.
-Yeah, sometimes, man, it'll find you.
You know, even if you ain't looking for it.
But even in how you react
sometimes tells a bigger story
than when trouble comes looking for you.
How you react is important and crucial.
-"Ridin' somethin' candy coated, crawlin' like a caterpillar,
I'm crawlin' similar like an ant
'cause we low to the earth."
What's the next best animal to crawl like?
Tarantula, Komodo dragon, or a sloth?
-Ah, I would say sloth,
because a sloth swings, too.
Komodo dragon, man?
That's a good one. Shout out to Chamillionaire.
And a tarantula, man, you know they get a bad rap
just because they so big and furry and scary.
People don't like spiders.
So I'm definitely going to go with the sloth on that one.
-Rolling 50 deep. -Yep.
-Then it was rolling 110 deep. -Yep.
-What's the highest number you could roll deep
without it being irresponsible?
-Oh, man, I think the deepest I ever rolled
was to the Ioka Theater.
I went 85 deep. They counted.
I would say like, I like to roll about like 10 deep.
10 is solid. It's like 10 family members.
People I love, you know what I'm saying?
-So, Start 2 Finish coming up.
Part of the thing I like the most is the promo art
I saw so far was that blotter sheet.
What's the best place to do acid?
In the city, in the woods, or on the beach?
-Sheesh.
-Might be dangerous in the city.
Maybe in the woods, too, might be dangerous.
I think it might depend on who you're with.
I would say the woods or the beach probably,
might have the best. Because when you around nature,
it just might bring something different out.
-So like Start 2 Finish, you're like two dudes
from two very different places.
Like, were there any--
how did y'all decide on the stuff y'all decide on?
-Organic. It was real organic.
-So, right when COVID happened,
it was like right after that,
the snowball was already rolling.
And we just had a great chemistry together.
We vibed well together. We got to be friends.
-Congratulations, and good luck
with the reception with this album.
-Thank you. -Yeah, man.
-Thanks for having us. That was dope.
That was a dope convo. -Yeah, man.
All right, y'all.
That's "Questionnaire of Life."
That's Paul Wall, that's Termanology.
I'm Trey.
See you next time, man.
Or they won't, but I will.
Termanology, you got three shoes on you right now.
What's going on here?
-So let me tell you about this shoe right here.
I'm really excited.
This is the Good Dad Gang collaboration
with Patrick Ewing sneakers.
So Good Dad Gang is a movement that I started in 2014
to basically get fathers more involved
with their kids' life.
-That's a pretty good mission, man.
-Thank you, man. Appreciate it. -Yeah.
