Summary

Theo Von joins Bad Friends for a wide-ranging conversation covering comedy, personal growth, relationships, and pop culture. The episode features discussions about Theo's relocation to Nashville, his comedy special plans, and various tangential topics from war movies to kimchi history.

Insights
  • Comedians benefit from saying yes to experiences and getting out of isolation, as evidenced by Theo's increased activity since moving and becoming single
  • The comedy special production process requires multiple attempts and location scouting to achieve the desired quality
  • Long-term medication use (16+ years) can plateau in effectiveness, requiring periodic reassessment with healthcare providers
  • Audition culture in entertainment often involves predetermined casting decisions, making open calls primarily for filling time rather than genuine consideration
  • Friendship and creative collaboration thrive when participants have autonomy and freedom to improvise rather than strict direction

And then he woke you up, and then you faked yelled at him. What do you mean? You pretended that you were sleeping, right? I knew the bit you were going to do, right? And I go, Andrew's getting really mad if you wake him up. I knew that you were still awake but pretending to sleep, right? And you did an extra, you know what I mean, snap. Oh, good. Right? And it freaked him out, and then he ran out of the tent. Hey, Bob. Yeah? Hey, Bob. Why is Andrew so angry, Bob? Yeah, bro. So good. Yeah. Andrew's angry. I mean, what did he do? He left him. It was just you and me. Yeah, and then you and I. And then you and I both left, and then I woke up. That's a nice dream. I hate when pees end it. Yeah. Why do pees end dreams? Because otherwise you would pee in the dream. Yeah. You're going to piss in the bed. But life was so good when you peed in the dream, when you used to ride that bitch. You're like, I'm staying in here. And in your dream, everybody's like, whoa, this guy's just peeing everywhere in here, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're like, that guy means it, bro. Yeah. I've spit in my dream one time, and I woke up, spit all over. Really? I felt like something was in my mouth. Like, I must have been stuffy. And in my dream, I just, and I spit. and then I woke up all over my pillow. I was spit. And I thought, that's so fun to do that in your dream and it to be happening in real life. It just feels good. But do you know when you die in a dream, you really die in real life? That's what they say. Wait, is that true, guys? Impossible. Yeah. In the Matrix. In the Matrix, if you die in the dream, you die in real life. So it's got to be real. Because we're living in the Matrix, aren't we not? Does anything feel real lately? No, dude. Bro, not at all. Yeah, so I think this is... But no, everything's going well. Yeah. Yeah. Nobody's living in complete fear. Yeah. I just take it day by day, you know, man, pal? Oh, yeah. That's all you can do, man.

Sorry. It was still you got. It was awesome. I couldn't even go to his. I couldn't even go to your section. Yeah, I heard. Yeah, they dragged me out of that. But I couldn't go to yours unless I had a neck brace on. They had to fucking. Yeah. I had to rub like Vaseline all over my arms and neck. Yeah. And be like, oh, it's so hot in here. I know. to go over there. Why did we get that section? But it was so crazy. I'd never seen anybody get right where they come out right along the rail, bro. That was amazing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You were right there when they came out, bro. When they came out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was sick. I tried to high-five. No one high-fived me. Nuh-uh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Rose, now I'm a Eunice. I tried to high-five and she was, shit. Why did they come out with their eyes closed? They were feeling it, maybe. Yeah, she was coming out like this and I put my hand out and it missed like this much. Cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's close, though. Yeah, that's good. Pretty close, yeah. It was pretty cool. But the reason why I went to Vegas is because I was like, I got to do something. Because I had done the special the weekend before. I was like, I got to not go up all the time and just like do something. So I asked Joe for tickets, and I went, and it was so much fun. Well, Joe didn't give you those. You bought them on Ticketmaster. Joe. But Joe gave you – he sent you a link to Ticketmaster. Yeah, yeah. Use code logo. I paid money. Use code Rogan15 for 15% off at StubHub. I always spent $750 for those seats. But having dinner with – I didn't know you were in town, so having dinner with you that night and then walking around with you afterwards. And Bizzle was there. You guys love each other. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's the best. The biz. Yeah. You still touring with him? Yep. Whenever we go out, like whenever we go on a big tour again next year, probably we'll do it. Who's Bizzle? Tim. Tour manager guy, wears the same hat as you. Oh, the tall guy. Yeah, tall guy. You guys are always pushing each other? Pushing? I have a video of you guys, and we'll include it. No. I have countless hours of you guys pushing against each other in the lobby. I know. We probably push. Yeah, yeah. I don't know what it is. That guy invites it. Yeah. You try and hit everybody kind of in the pecker and then run off or whatever. Yeah, like a kid. Yeah, yeah. You start it. He'll play with you, but you start it. I do start it. I don't think anyone's ever started it with you. Yeah. I like the fire. You do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's good, though. That's your new special name. I like the fire. Back in the caveman days, the Koreans, right? And the Korean would go and light the fire. You were the light of the fire? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You think somebody just – people would light their – like what do you think was like an early comedian trick that somebody would do in like a caveman day? Fart into a fire to make it puff up a little bit. For sure. So risky then. It's worth a laugh. It's a good laugh back then. A little fire farter. Yeah. They would laugh. Lose their mind. Yeah. Evidence suggests that we did have a laughing, similar laughter patterns. We would copy each other's laughs. Look at that. Laughter and pre-primates involved sounds made during tickling and playful interaction. You'd be a tickler. You would 100%. Oh my god, I'd be tickling beer, all kinds of animals. Yeah. You're a tickler, dude. I would tickle everything. I didn't sleep last night. How come you're not sleeping? He's a Alexa Pro too. Some nights. I'm on eschatolopram or something. It's a generic. Will you mind looking that up please brother? I used to play basketball with that guy. Eschatolopram? He could hoop dude. That kid's crossover was not. With generic Xanax? Eschatolopram it's called. How long have you been on it? I've been on it I think for 17, 16 years probably. But I've been – I switched to some other ones. Oh, you did? And yeah, sometimes I get to a point where I don't know if they're working. It feels like something's kind of going wrong and it feels like they're not working anymore. Sometimes I'll try to take breaks and get off. But for the majority of time I've been on something. Yeah. Wow. For a while. It's kind of crazy that we stay on them that long. It's like you would think you'd go in for something and it's like a problem, but then 17 years later, it's still – you know, like you're still wearing like a leg brace or whatever. And that duct tape holds up. You know what I mean? You know what I mean? Like if it works, it works. That's a good point, actually. That's a good way to look at it too. Like I just think if it's not – if it's helping and not hurting. I mean for you, I think you should change. You think so already? I switched to something else. Oh, he's doing – give me some notes since the beginning. The boys will tell you. Yeah, yeah. Tell me. I think it feels like maybe it's bumping up against the Wigovie or whatever. I think they're in the – Are you on GLP-1s? He is. Yeah, yeah. No, he's on – sorry. He's on – Wigovie. Oh, yeah. We switched. Yeah, we switched. I think they're bumping heads down there. That SSRI and Wigovie are going toe-to-toe. You think so? Yeah, and something's going on rattling around in that brain. Yeah, and probably the Ritalin too. That also doesn't help. Yeah, yeah. What's the one where your spit tastes like meat or whatever? That's the one I've heard. Yeah, yeah. You clear your throaty taste like it's like a meat taste. Yeah, I've heard of that. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, yeah. I don't know. Yeah, you – so – Something. Oh, Paxlovid. Paxlovid, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Paxlovid, yeah. Yeah. That's a good one, huh? That's a great side effect, huh? Yeah, meat taste. Paxlovid. I'm going to take a step back. Take it in? No, I think you should go in. I don't know what you're doing. I think you go further. No. Well, don't you want to see how far... I'm taking three steps back. No, no, no. Yeah, you guys go on. I'll interject. Look, look, look. Look at that road down there. Look at that road. Where does it go? Let's go down it. Barstow. Let's go. I'm going to Barstow. That's what I'm saying. Take a ride. Yeah, yeah. You're having fun. You're already there. Take a ride with me. I'm going to be your riding queen. Yeah, dude. Was that Turning Point? Uh-huh. Is that on Turning Point? That's on Turning Point. I've never heard that song in my life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. yeah um i've never heard that in my entire life dude what what would you say bobby how what is your magnet like a role so you get in a movie right and it's a big movie and it's like what is the role that gets you to a level where you're like wow that guy is the daniel day lewis of our time kind of you know okay i'll move i'll roll that like daniel malay lewis right right um I'm the guy A movie about The guy that Discovered gunpowder In China Right And I'm sitting around Look what I made Right And everyone's like What is it buddy What is it buddy Right And I go We can make guns Out of this I go No Firewalk Oh The king of fireworks The king of fireworks That's the movie Oh Chimp He's got some of that Bang sand on him Is that what he said You do the dialogue You can write it But yeah You should have to write it yourself. But it was Chinese alchemists that did it in the Tang Dynasty. Y'all are the ones that started guns? Chinese discovered gunpowder. And what they did was if they made guns, they would have ruled the world, but they didn't. They did other things with it. What were they doing with it? It's called gunpowder. I don't know. Putting it in food? Yeah. Like, oh, this is better. It's better than chicken. chicken no um but and look they would eat it and then just blast off against the wall but they wouldn't figure it out but the europeans are the ones that used you know use the gunpowder and made weapons out of it yeah you guys are doing just fine i i think they did stick it in sticks and they did you know me use it as a weapon you know what i would have done yeah put some wet stuff on a stick yeah put some gunpowder on it yeah against the wet stuff hit somebody really hard with the gunpowder. Snap. That is, look at that. There's a history of gunpowder. The first gun arrow. Yeah, that's what they used to use. Aguero. That's a firework, dude. Yeah. That's all that is. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, so you guys used this to celebrate and then some asshole came along and was like, you want to celebrate? How about a funeral? Yeah. And he just shot somebody with it. That used to be a weapon and then they thought it'd be fun when they killed someone for color to come out. So they would shoot someone with it and then, you get exploded with color as a celebration of your death Look at that It the original canon That incredible That Paul Skeen back in the day if you look at that photo Actually, it's super close. That's an early curveball. I don't think I'm that good of an actor to be Daniel Day-Lewis. That's right, yeah. I don't know if you – No, no, I think you are. If you had the right – so much of it is like you've got to get the right role, and somebody has to see how you can operate by that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think you'd be great. What about you? You can't do it by yourself, Bobby. Yeah. You think you guys could win Oscars? No. What the fuck? No. That's what I'm saying. No, I don't ever need to act again. Yeah. How about you? You think you'll win an Oscar? No, Bobby. You're the actor. You've done way more acting than any of us. Yeah. I think you've done more. No. You must have done more. Well, I'm done, so it doesn't matter. I'm done, too. We're both done. We're out. Yeah. I'm going to do tires. Stamped our card. Oh, yeah, he's doing two episodes of Shane's show. You are? Yeah. Mm-hmm. What about Tom Sawyer? What about him? I played Huckleberry Finn in a play. You did? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And who was your best friend? It's a photo on my Instagram. But who was your best friend? What? Tom Sawyer. Oh, it was? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I remember I played Huckleberry Finn. Huckleberry Finn. Oh, there you are. We talked about it, yeah. Cute. Huckleberry Finn, though. Every time I'd walk out, the whole audience would laugh. just because you were so sweet and cute yeah there you are there's your buddy me and Ian Edwards do you know about where I can get I got something for you and then you get off and Neil Brennan's there he's like I got something yeah he's Mr. Notes huh well he's the bravest I mean, he's so like – he loves the art so much. He's just like, I got something for you. And usually – It's always good. It's always good. It's always good. It's almost always good. And then he cares to do it. Sometimes I'll listen to someone and be like, here's a tag, and I'll just put it in my notes or whatever. Yeah. And then I'll just – Never tell them. Yeah. I've done that. Or get afraid to tell them. Sometimes you're like, I don't know if they would want me to say anything. Yeah. If I'm cool enough with them, sometimes I do it, but then sometimes I think it's not that good of a tag anyway. Fuck it. But they might have wanted it. You should have given – just try. I just give it to them. Yeah. Especially coming from you, I'd take it. I would take all of them. You know what I do now is when comics give me notes, normally like year for years, I'd be like, oh, okay, I'll try. Now I just, tell me you have a note for me. I got a note for you. Nope. Oh, okay. I just won't do it. Unless it's someone that's superior. Neil, I'll do it. You know what I mean? If there's someone you really respect, you would do it. Yeah, but when some, like Open Micr comes up to me and goes, hey man, I got some notes. Is that happening a lot? What? Open Micr's doing that a lot to you? Yeah. That's wild. No one gives you notes? I have doormen and everyone give me notes. No. Yeah, yeah. I don't think that's... Nothing you're doing is working, so let me... They say that. No, no one's giving me notes. I mean, I'm sure they probably have comments about it, but no one's come up to me and be like, hey, can I... You ever get notes from, like, just strangers? I don't think so. I don't know. I might. It's usually from... If anything... I don't know. Someone that came to the show sometimes. Oh, yeah. I don't think I do. That's happened. Yeah, but they go, you know what I really like? This... I probably don't. You should have said it. I do, probably. What? I might. Yeah. Yeah. But I've never given anyone a note. No. Have you? Yeah. I mean, a friend. Yeah. You have. Yeah. You have. Yeah, I have. What do you sound like? What are you fucking encyclopedic? Like you're a detective suddenly? It's an easy... Yeah, definitely. All right. You just landed on Plymouth Rock. It's not that big of an adventure, dude. Yeah, sometimes. Yeah. Yeah, I never have. Dude, I'm trying to think. What is that role that you're in? that gets you to that crazy Academy Award, webby. I think it could be something. Webby, Spider-Man. The story of your life. It's just you trying to just get skeed off your hands from jerking off at night? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Spider-Man, Spider-Man. Yeah, yeah. Don't kill the spider, I'm a Spider-Man. Little spider in the Spider-Man. You're just a tiny spider in someone's home? Yeah. Spider-Man. No, I think it could be for you would be like your story of your life. Yeah. Oh, I play myself. Like the story of a little Korean man who grew up in San Diego amongst all these goofy whites. Yeah. And you made it out alive. Eating doodos with the dancing on. Yeah. Eating doodos with what? With the people. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It could be your life. What about the guy that invented kimchi? Who's that guy? Yeah, who is that? Bring that guy up. You could have done that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's probably a woman, huh? Invented by a specific woman But the ancient Korean people So the Kim Chi We get to make up the story That's the best part Oh, yeah, yeah You become the guy Who started the kimchi revolution You began kimchi Oh, yeah Yeah, yeah Okay, let's make it up Cho-cho Yeah, Cho-cho No, Cho-cho Cho-cho, sorry Yeah, yeah, yeah I apologize Cho-cho The kimchi cowboy The kimchi cowboy, yeah I live on a beach The king of kimchi Cho-cho Yeah No, and I'm on a farm And I pick up some cabbage Mm-hmm What do we do with this? No, it went bad. It already went bad. Oh, it went bad. And all your cabbage is bad now. Something's going on. Something is going on, right? And people are like, oh, just throw it away, right? They throw it into the ocean. I go, no. You throw it into a vinegar thing. Yeah, that thing. I go, no. We stick a hole, put it in the ground, right? Put some vinegar. I don't know how they make kimchi. So it's hot. How do they make kimchi, dude? I mean, you should learn. This is your past. Yeah. I don't make it at home. I don't have a home kit. No, you make a home kit. What do you mean? Wait, right now? Yeah. You don't? I don't know how it's made. Wow. Yeah, yeah. Bro, somebody can make you some of it. Yeah, yeah. What do you have to do? You prep and salt the cabbage. You wash and drain it, and then you make the paste in a large bowl. So you do all – yeah. Gochugaro, garlic, ginger, onion, fish sauce, and sugar form a thick red paste. You stir it all in there, then you put it in there, and you ferment it, right? You pack the glass jar tight, pressing down, get all the air out, and then you wait for fermentation. You let the jar sit at room temperature for one to five days. One to five days isn't insane. What? Well, the more days, the more fermentation. Once it smells sour and tastes to your liking, then you put it in the refrigerator. It'll continue to ferment slowly and it'll last for months. But whoever created this, this isn't the first time he tried it. This is like fucking 100 years of trying different ways. Well, we got to figure out this. Yeah, there's no way someone got that right the first time. Koreans are pretty smart. Yeah. So what is this? What did you have to put it into fermented in glass? What did you use? What did you use? Like a light bulb or something? What did you originally ferment? It had to be a glass. Yeah, something in the story. Yeah, something in the story that you took the air out of it and you were able to put the cabbage in something. What did you put it in? Well, there must have been jars, right? We had jars. Ooh, jars of clay. Remember that band? Yeah. Rain, rain on my face. What about this? What about this? How about this? We used jars as trash cans, right? So then I was just, let's throw it away. You worked for the trash company. Yeah, I work for the trash company, right? And I took the cabbage and threw it in their jars, their trash cans, right? Yeah. And then I threw away salt, too. Where did we get trash cans? Yeah, yeah. Let's throw away salt. We threw salt. All the ingredients. We're just throwing it away. You were taking salt from the ocean. Yeah, yeah. Let's throw it away. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Put it in the trash can. Yeah, the greedy ocean have too much salt. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here we go, right? What else is in it? Well, it's... Water? Throw water away. We have too much water. We throw it away. Fish sauce. Fish sauce. Nobody eats fish sauce. We have too much fish sauce in the village, right? Throw it away. We're throwing all of it away. What else is in there? Garlic. Garlic and sugar. We have way too much garlic here. You're throwing everything away. Oh, wait. We put it in the trash can, right? And the trash guy doesn't pick it up for a long, long time. One to five days, it sounds like. Even longer. Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah. For a couple of months. and then i walk out i walk out of my hut and i go god the trash man i'm not fucking coming here for like two months we threw all this stuff away right and then i go out i go i bet you money and i open up the lid yes and it's like on it's like on breath of the wild whenever you open ever it's like and you cook your meal yeah and you cook your meal and it's ready and i look down i go don't look delicious yeah right well you're starving you haven't eaten days oh yeah yeah I haven't eaten in days. There's a famine. Yeah, there's a famine. Yeah, yeah, there's a famine going on. It's a cabbage famine. It's a cabbage famine. Because I threw it all away. Rocket money.

Everybody fell off that cliff. Oh, yeah. Who, Rambo? Rimbo's always falling off cliffs. Most of the movies is him in ICU. Yeah. That cliffhanger, that was... Oh, that is a gayest looking thing ever. If you don't think that picture is him trying to meet a guy somewhere, what is that? What are you doing down there? Come up here and climb with me. He's just waiting for Alex Honnold to pull up on him. He's waiting for Jared Leto to just scurry up after him. Have you had Honnold on your show? I feel like you... No. He would do your show, though. I can't believe he did that Taipei Tower. No, if he'd do that, he'd do your show. Did you see it? We talked about it, right? Yeah. This or this? Did you watch it? We talked about it. Okay. I saw some of it. It's fine. Yeah. Yeah, he lived. He lived. Yeah. I was actually at a place and somebody said to somebody else who was a rock, I'm like, just letting you know he lived. And like, oh, good. I mean, that is the number one concern. Yeah. What ended up happening? How far can you go up the building? Probably till I see some tits in a window. I'm ordering a Sprite at that point. I sat on a plane. Sorry, go ahead. Go. You sat on a plane with who? um Dante Filipino actor oh no yeah yeah he was in uh um Hook yes yeah yeah oh yeah I like that great guy Rufio he played Rufio oh great guy I have a story so he has like 19 brothers he has 19 brothers he's got a lot of brothers Dante Bosco the Boscos he's got like two other brothers I exaggerate but I remember dude I remember in commercial auditions back in the day I was always against his whole family. Oh. When it said Asians, it was him, it was the Boscos. Dude, that could be a movie, Bobby versus the Boscos. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they book all the Panda Express ads. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But sometimes I would beat them. Yeah. God, I beat the fucking Boscos. That's how it is, dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Who did you used to go up against when you were auditioning in LA? Dude, I would get over there. I'd be furious. I had to drive over there. I was late. I would always leave my shit in the car. I'd be practicing and shit. Oh my God. I'd get in the room. I was too scared to talk sometimes. I remember one time I had him open the window and then I was like, can you open the other window? I was like, I can't, I just couldn't even speak or whatever. And I just was too nervous to even talk. I know it's the worst. I would start saying, I was just like, I was so bad. I don't know anybody like trying to think it was ever anybody in a hallway where I was like, oh, we're in for this same thing or if it repeatedly happened. I don't think so. I don't there wasn't enough that I went out for like regularly yeah you know one time I saw Ian Edwards in the waiting room and I said what are you going out for and he said whatever the role was I said that's the same thing as me so obviously they they don't know they've already booked somebody else oh yeah it's like we a skinny black guy and then a redheaded it was like what in the fuck are you guys looking for that to me was always a signal it's like they already gave it to a to a famous guy they're waiting for him to sign so they just have us in there to like placate the time so they can have a job yeah I wouldn't even go I'd be called in with Asians. I'd be called in with the other category. Yeah. So I'd be in the lobby, and there's like a 9'5 Nigerian guy, a 900-pound Samoan guy, guy from a fire. Yeah, you're the fire guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like the afterlife in Beetlejuice. All those guys. That's what my love is. Bobby's audition. There's a guy with a little head. Yeah. Just waiting with the handbook. Yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah i'd be like more freak character category did you love it when you went to audition when i look back on it i realized i didn't like it sometimes i if it was if it was like set up for me to win and have fun yeah loved it but if i was if you knew that you were there as a just a sheep for them to push through the line i hate it i would get so mad because i knew they weren't giving it to you they were giving it to a famous person you'd have a conversation with someone an agent or manager would be like they already made an offer to you know channing tatum josh hutserson and you're like well what the fuck am i doing now well they want to see other people it's like no they don't this is just so people can have jobs because otherwise it's like well let's get lunch so they that always made me sad because i was like well i'm wasting everyone's time even if i was nice and affable and funny and good at the audition it was like well who gives a shit they don't they're like yeah but you don't think that if you were that good they might change not in a million fucking year i think you're right yeah that those days of that old hollywood like and we saw her and she blow us away it's like that's not a thing they already know well you get to meet casting directors you get to once you meet them though and they know you they already all know they all talk about who they want if the room was cold i would fuck up oh yeah when i'd walk into a room and they're just kind of like you know i mean i'd be just like i'm done i can't do it yeah cabinets create the energy completely yourself like i was good at some of the talking and communicating but then when we get into the thing i think i would just be too nervous yeah i just did it there was something about you could do it now though yeah now i think i would probably be a little bit more like i understand it and i would only do something i really wanted to do but you have the confidence now i think to do well you got your own movie coming out you don't need other people's fucking movies yeah when are you guys releasing that you and spade in april what's the name can we know the name bus boys boys boys bum bum bum bum that was a fun shoot brother yeah nate diaz is in it that's cool too yeah i met nate through shane one time and sometimes he'll facetime me like in the middle of the night and i get nervous to answer because i don't know what he's gonna ask me to do i agree what is he gonna say like bury a body right yeah he's gonna i just like i could just see me picking up be like what's up brother what are you doing right now and i'm like i'm in bed and he'd be like get on a plane immediately you know like and i have to do i would be like i have what am i gonna yes you can't say no i can't say no bro that'd be a good you can't say no to nate diaz dude that would be a crazy movie whenever he does call me i get i'm like fuck i gotta i prepare a little bit but him and chris avila that's uh another fighter that um they they both came in dude it was freaking hilarious like the whole thing was just ridiculous but it was a it was a bit it was a good it was a good experience to learn about how to do it all yeah you know we just paid for it ourselves and like nobody would help us make it yeah but when i did it right am i still in the movie yeah okay good hey yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah but the reason why i had so much fun is because um you guys kind of just let me do whatever i wanted to do oh yeah you were good in that no no but i was just like hey can i just do this or like yeah that's when you shine yeah it's so fun you can't you can't tie you down baby but when they're saying no you have to say it like this yeah it's hard you have to do it like this you have to walk like this i've had that note walk can you walk in the room different i'm like what well yeah you got an interesting gate yeah dude you're being very edgy and confrontational i just said your stride is what the fuck is your problem do you not have a weird gate i do so what am i saying people have commented you walk like a gta character yeah you walk like a you walk like a npc of npc i do you walk npc i have to change my walk huh no no no okay no we're just joking around okay okay none of is real is isn't okay are there health concerns you do start to have bobby oh yeah for sure but i gotta quit smoking smoking is the worst i can't breathe you got back on smoking after i can't breathe i can't breathe and then uh some young lung that's what you need now you need a transplant dude hey bro you need a transplant you need some young lung sorry that's very racist and that's i like that i like it yeah i like it so good yeah We're worried about COPD.
