Sal Vulcano

**Theo Von** (0:00)
I want to let you know that I'll be doing a podcast, taping this podcast before a live audience. It's the only time I've ever done that. And it may be the only time I ever do, I don't know, but that will be with the champ, Iron Mike Tyson, on May 5th in Los Angeles at the Wiltern Theater as part of the Netflix Is a Joke Fest. And after that, it'll be on our channel, so you can see it there. You can get tickets at theovon.com/t-o-u-r.
Today's guest is a stand-up comedian. He's a host. He's a podcaster. He's just a, he's a universal smile maker. You know him from his hit show, Impractical Jokers, and he's on tour doing stand-up right now.
Always have a blast with the one and only Mr. Sal Vulcano.

**Sal Vulcano** (1:09)
We start filming season 13 on Thursday, too. It's another thing. Yeah. Wow.
It's been on the air for 15 years.

**Theo Von** (1:20)
And have you ever met a child that was conceived during the show? Has that ever been a thing?

**Sal Vulcano** (1:26)
I know people who met and got married, and I know people tell me they fucked to it all the time.

**Theo Von** (1:31)
Oh my God. Really?

**Sal Vulcano** (1:33)
I didn't think of that until one day I was on the... I was standing outside, I'm getting a flat tire fixed, I was standing on a sidewalk and a guy pulled up at a light, he rolled down the window and he's like, Sal, I love you, man. I was like, thanks, man. He goes, I was having sex with my girlfriend last night while the show was on. And I was like, oh shit, I never really thought about that. So I went on to Instagram and I posted like, has anyone ever had sex while my show was on? And it was like hundreds of thousands of people.
You don't think of it, you know? One time somebody sent me a porn of people, fuck him, and our show was on the TV in the background.

**Theo Von** (2:11)
What?

**Sal Vulcano** (2:12)
Not like a professional one.

**Theo Von** (2:13)
Oh, just amateur?

**Sal Vulcano** (2:14)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

**Theo Von** (2:14)
Oh shit, maybe one day you'll make the big news.

**Sal Vulcano** (2:18)
Yeah, man, hopefully we can show up on a Brazzers one day.

**SPEAKER_7** (2:20)
Maybe one day, bro.

**Theo Von** (2:23)
Oh my God, dude. And why do you think it is that y'all's show is one of those shows that's like, all right, let's make a child of this or let's get a little, let's do the hump.

**Sal Vulcano** (2:34)
It's like background. You put it on anytime, you don't have to follow anything, just turn it on, and it's good playing in the background. They play it all day long. So it's like one of those things, like when I get to a hotel room, I turn something on, it just plays in the background. I think people are just going to go about their business while it's on.

**Theo Von** (2:50)
You think that's it? I feel like...

**Sal Vulcano** (2:53)
I think so. I don't think it's intoxicating or anything. I don't think it's like oysters. Yeah.

**SPEAKER_7** (3:00)
Visual oysters.

**Theo Von** (3:04)
No, I do think there's something about y'all's show that it's like, it's the one thing spouses could probably kind of agree on.

**Sal Vulcano** (3:11)
Yeah, we get that.

**Theo Von** (3:12)
There's not a lot, and you could have, if your kids are in there, everybody could kind of agree on like, all right, we'll all kind of watch this. There's few shows like that now.

**Sal Vulcano** (3:21)
Yeah, there's like a Venn diagram where the kids and the parents both like it. And that's what we hear a lot too, which is like, it's a show that everybody can be like, oh, I'll watch that, you know what I mean?
I guess, huh?

**Theo Von** (3:32)
There's a new Little House on the Prairie coming out.

**Sal Vulcano** (3:35)
I think you and I have spoken about Little House on the Prairie before.

**Theo Von** (3:38)
Did we?

**Sal Vulcano** (3:39)
Yeah, I think we did. With Michael Landon, because you were a big fan, right?

**Theo Von** (3:42)
Oh, yeah.

**Sal Vulcano** (3:43)
Highway to Heaven. You're a Michael Landon fan or a Prairie fan?

**Theo Von** (3:46)
The Highway to Heaven, and it needs to be repaved, brother.

**Sal Vulcano** (3:49)
I'll say that.

**Theo Von** (3:52)
I mean, they got, you know what I'm saying?

**Sal Vulcano** (3:53)
What was it? He was an angel that was like in purgatory, and his guy's friend with the beard was another angel.
