#1994 - Theo Von

Theo Von (0:04)

The Joe Rogan Experience.

Joe Rogan (0:14)

Austin, Texas, what a pop you got last night.

SPEAKER_4 (0:17)

That was a lot of pressure.

Theo Von (0:18)

That was a lot of pressure.

Joe Rogan (0:20)

They went crazy. One of the nice things about these shows that we do is that no one knows who's gonna be on them, these Joe Rogan and Friends shows. So it could be a surprise. You were surprised last night.

And we got a video of it. Is it on the MotherGramm mothership Instagram?

Jamie (0:37)

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_6 (0:39)

Do they have a pop?

Joe Rogan (0:43)

Oh yeah, I love that.

Bro, you got a standing O. What's up? You spent the first 30 seconds of your set high-fiving people. Come on, son, look at this. Look at this.

Theo Von (1:14)

It was crazy. Some dude threw some semen up at me, I think.

Joe Rogan (1:18)

Real semen?

Theo Von (1:18)

Like in that movie, Silence of the Lambs, yeah. I don't know if it was real or not.

Joe Rogan (1:22)

Yeah, maybe the guy locked in the cell.

Theo Von (1:25)

Yeah, I batted it down. I respected it.

But yeah, dude, that was awesome, man. Thank you. Congrats.

Joe Rogan (1:32)

My pleasure.

Theo Von (1:33)

Congrats, because I remember last time I was here, we went and you walked me through, and you're like, this is where the light's gonna go when you go on. Like you had everything to achieve.

Joe Rogan (1:41)

How long ago was that?

Theo Von (1:43)

That was last July.

Joe Rogan (1:45)

Okay, so last July, there was... We hadn't even raised the floors yet, right?

Theo Von (1:52)

Y'all were just talking about it.

Joe Rogan (1:53)

Yeah, that was before we lowered the ceiling and raised the floors. So you got in when it looked like a movie theater.

Still looked like the old movie theater, right?

Theo Von (2:03)

Yeah, I think you were just talking about adjusting the floor heights and doing something like that. Yeah, dude, it was awesome. I mean, that was crazy. That was probably...

That was a highlight of my... I mean, that was a highlight of my life, I think.

Joe Rogan (2:16)

I think so too.

Theo Von (2:17)

Because you get to be a surprise. Like, there's not as much surprise as any more in the world, you know?

Joe Rogan (2:22)

It's true.

Theo Von (2:23)

So to have a moment where you're like part of a surprise, I think felt really good.

Joe Rogan (2:28)

That's what it looked like.

So when you were there, it was all rough and everything was, you know, just beginning. So you were there the early days. It's weird to be in there now because, I mean, I want to sound crazy, but I feel like that place has always been there.

SPEAKER_7 (2:45)

It's weird.

Theo Von (2:48)

Like the club has always been there?

Joe Rogan (2:49)

Yeah, the club. It's like it was waiting for us. Like a Stephen King book, for real. Like that, I've never been in a building that felt more like it was conscious. The place feels conscious.

My daughter's into ghosts and shit, and she has this thing that she puts on, this headphone that's connected to some box, and someone will ask questions, and the box will pick up random signals, and you're blindfolded, and you listen to this. And so they do this to test places for ghosts, and she says that place is haunted.

Theo Von (3:30)

She said the club is? Oh, I believe that I could see it being haunted, probably.

Joe Rogan (3:34)

She's also 12

Theo Von (3:37)

Well, I'm older than her, but I would agree with her, probably. I mean, I could see there being, I will say this, it felt like there was something there was some kind of, it felt, I can understand when you say like this feels like it should have been there over time in history. Like it's already like, was just supposed to land there.

You know?

Joe Rogan (3:55)

That's what it feels like. It really does.

Theo Von (3:58)

It was cool, man. I walked into the green. It was just crazy. There's like that big snake is like, there's like a snake in the table.

And then they had Ron White is sitting there, you know? And then Tom Segura was in there. Dave Attell was in there. Louis Katz.

Crazy. Ian, I don't know Ian's last name, but it was, yeah, dude, it was awesome, man. And just to see it come to fruition, that was the, I think that's the thing that was really exciting. It was like, wow, like if somebody thinks about something and they're really focused on it, that they can make something real.
