Okay, so I probably have lived here about five years.
This is the first house I toured,

And, uh, this is the lobby.
This could be the most important room
'cause someone's either waiting on me or getting out of here.
♪ Throw money in the air now (Throw it up) ♪
All right, here's the kitchen/living room area.
I love the open concept here.
Just keep everything open.
You pretty much see everything here.
A lot of my trophies are here just 'cause I like to show off
when you first walk in my house.
Defensive Player of the Year Award.
First Team All Defense.
I basically put all the defense on one shelf.
Over here is the living room area.
This is where we all kick it, really.
I mean, play video games, watch movies, do whatever here.
Over here is the barbershop.
All the homies come over and get cuts.
I get, like, two cuts a week.
Over here, we have some artwork by Sess Ilongwe.
I mean, speaks for itself.
Amazing.
This is a marble counter.
Uh, my chef will cook here.
I really can't cook.
I never will, never have. [sizzling]
I ain't got it like that.
Over here is my fridge.
Infamous fridge, the...
the sauciest fridge,
'cause we got all the sauces right here racked up.

My studio.
I've probably been recording for, like, four or five years.
And I really don't promote my music like that,
but I'm able to express myself here.
Over here is just all the sauce. We call this the sauce.
This is why we sound good, why the production sounds good.
The booth is over there.
I may not even make a song one day.
I might come in here and just chill, kick it, like...
kick my feet up, fall asleep.
My friend might be recording.
I might fall asleep. He might fall asleep.
There's, like, a time warp.
There's no time in this room.

♪ Canary princess cuts for my baby ♪
This is the upstairs living room.
I love this room 'cause this is kind of like
a memorial to my apartment.
This is exactly what my apartment used to look like
downtown before I moved here.
I have some of my art in here. I got Uzi up there.
I got Uzi over there. Rocky.
NBA Jam is a staple if you're a hooper.
You gotta have it.
Very own brand with everything.
We got another mirror.
This one has a basketball hoop on it,
and it says "Much required" on it.
It's my grandmother's slogan.
Basically just means you do a lot
with what's given to you,
work with people, love people.
And I live by that every day.

I got my favorite Sour Patch, gummy bears,
Flaming Hot Cheetos. I mean...
You know, I gotta... I gotta [indistinct].
I got stars on the ceiling like it's a Rolls Royce.
And I got a shower.
Not a lot of people got a shower in their theater.

I got all my shirts right here.
I mean, a lot of my stuff I really really love
is in this section.
I have more shoes over here.
These are a lot of basketball shoes.
And I love custom shoes.
This ladder, this ladder right here, I love it,
'cause you can just push it and it goes like that, and...
yeah, almost makes it like a real store.
But I got as many clothes in here as a real store.
Before we keep going,
I'm gonna change into something a little more cozy.
So MTV, I love you.
I need you to get out of here for a little bit.

All right, so come see my bedroom.
This is really where the magic happens.
This is my bed. Had to have a big bed.
Seven by seven so I can fit perfectly comfy.
I know you see the two TVs.
I love watching TV in here.
I love watching movies.
And my blinds are automatic.
I'm not gonna put 'em up right now,
but in the morning, they go up with the birds chirping.

All right, so I...
I'm a good cook, but I do not like to cook.
Um, luckily, my husband, Dewey, loves to cook.
This actually came from an old spa in Desert Springs.
If you've watched Queer Eye at all,
you know I love to decorate with big bowls of fruit,
'cause I think not only is it beautiful,
but when they're out and visible,
I see them slowly going bad, and it makes me eat them quicker.
This is the dining room.
This is usually where we have breakfast.
We put this built-in banquette, chairs on this side,
you can just fit a ton of people here.
And it's just a beautiful space to really gather.
So keep in mind this is our vacation home,
so we don't really have a lot of food here.
So this is just what's left over
from all of our friends being here this last weekend.
Fruits, salads.

You wake up in the morning to sunset...
That's not what you wake up to.
You wake up to sunrise.

I love this beautiful carved bed that we got.
It just makes the space feel really unique.
♪ Just gettin' started (Started) ♪
All right, so this is my closet.
Um, although it's a very cool closet,
it's kind of an empty closet 'cause, you know,
we just come here on the weekends sometimes.
Uh, you might recognize some of my favorite shirts
that you've probably seen in season seven of Queer Eye.
This one, definitely.
This one, this one.
I actually love putting wallpaper in a closet, you know?
Having lived in the closet for, um, my younger years
through my teens, I think the closet
should be a special place.
All right, so we've spent enough time in the closet.
Believe me, it's not a place you want to be.
So I wanna take you and show you
a couple of the other homes on the property,
'cause this is just house number one.

[Announcer] Coming up, there's no diving in the pool
of Bobby Berk's jaw-dropping Palm Springs vacation home.
[Bobby] Every pool needs to have its rules,
and we have rules because the pool is only four feet deep.
We have had people who think it's fun
to jump off that rock into the pool,
but again, it's four feet tall. Don't do that.

So one of my many rules of design is
if you have a space that you don't really have a purpose for,
you should make it a bar.
So that's what we did here.
This used to be a garden shed.
We didn't really need it.
So I turned it into a great little bar.
Can I get you a drink?
[glasses clinking] [hiccup]
[Bobby] This little spot right here
has, like, a eight-foot snake that lives in it.
Her name is Carol. We love her.
She's a California king snake.
And she eats rattlesnakes, so, shantay, she stays.
Let's head down to the pool.
You know, every pool needs to have its rules, right?
And we have rules because the pool is only four feet deep.
We have had people who think it's fun to jump off that rock
into the pool, but again, it's four feet tall.
