Post Malone speaking to Howard about everything from his unwavering support of Bud Light to his burgeoning friendship with fellow music icon Taylor Swift.

Post Malone on losing weight:

“On tour, I stopped eating a lot of fried stuff [and] pizza,” he told Howard, explaining the feat was trickier than it sounded as most towns didn’t have healthy restaurants open at 2 a.m. when he was hungry and had just finished up his set.

“I was like, ‘You know what? I’m going to eat grilled chicken, I’m going to eat carrots, and I’m going to have a little bit of white rice with … hot sauce,” he continued, telling Howard he was blown away upon learning the spicy condiment was so diet friendly. “I was like … ‘Hot sauce has no calories in it? This shit is sick.’”

“I lost 20 pounds doing that, and I was like let’s keep going. Let’s keep building,” he concluded. “And we just kept fucking rocking and rolling.”

Post Malone on Meeting Taylor Swift and Playing Travis Kelce in Beer Pong

Post recalled challenging Kelce, whom he described as “the sweetest dude,” and his quarterback Patrick Mahomes to a high-stakes game of beer pong. Post Malone lost.

“What was the penalty?” Howard asked.

“I had to get a Kansas City Chiefs tattoo,” Post lamented. “It’s on my arm.”

“They’re athletes!” Post exclaimed before later conceding fatherhood had weakened his game. “It did affect my beer pong skills. It automatically takes two points off,” he laughed.

“She is genuinely one of the most kind and considerate [people] … and a fucking hell of a songwriter. Holy shit. Amazing.”

While hanging out with Taylor, the topic of his beer pong loss to Kelce came up in conversation. “I told Taylor, ‘Those elbows were crazy … You can’t have elbows crossing over the table,’” Post recalled with a laugh. “So, I’d like a rematch. I’d like to say here, on The Howard Stern Show: Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes—I am so ready.”

Post Malone on Getting His 1st Face Tattoo

“I’ve always loved a good face tattoo,” he told Howard before revealing the circumstances around the first face piece he got when he was just 19. “I was hammered drunk, and I was like, ‘I really need a face tattoo like right now.’”

“It’s always bigger than you think,” he said. “But you just kind of let it rock … It’s already too late, so you’ve gotta be like, ‘That’s just the way it is.’”

Post Malone on pulling hamstrings and cracking ribs on stage:

One time, while doing a high kick on stage in South Korea, he pulled his hamstring and glute. “I heard a pop, and I was like ‘Nope,’” he recalled. “I [couldn’t] stand up, so I had to finish the show on the ground.”

Another time, during his most recent tour, he cracked his ribs after falling through a hole in the stage. “If there’s one thing about stages, Howard—they’re very hard,” Post said, explaining the accident occurred after he stepped into a hole meant for an ascending guitar. “The guitar didn’t come up fast enough,” he continued. “I fucking fell right on my ribs, and that sucked. That sucked ass.”

“But I made it a thing to come back and do the show,” he told Howard regarding the show he had to cancel. “Everyone works so hard in this fucking life, and you have the option to spend your money on fucking anything, and you paid your hard-earned money to come and see me sing some shitty fucking songs, and I want to fucking do the best I fucking can to come and sing these shitty songs to you.”

“That’s my fucking job, and that’s my passion, and that’s what it’s about,” Malone added.

Post Malone’s new album “Austin” is available now.
