What humorous experiences does Theo Von share about his past?
Well, he's taking his shoes off, and what are you doing? You're just kind of standing there? Yeah. And what's your motivation in the scene? To not get laid.
So you never worked with props. Did you go through any incarnation? Were you dressed in something different, or you were always Theo right up?
I mean, I've been a recovering drug addict most of my life, so that is the prop that never leaves you. That's always go-to-able. That's that monkey on your back. If that's not a prop. I mean, David's the best to be around. Everybody loves him. He's the funniest.
How does Theo describe his encounter with Kate Hudson?
Everybody says he's the funniest.
Mm-hmm.
So how does that, when you hear that, Dana, how does that make you feel? Sorry to spin this back.
Oh, holy shit. What's up, guys? I like your shot. See, why are we all tight up here, man?
We look like dog shit.
I'm on the bad side of 50. I thought y'all looked better. I thought y'all were going to look worse, honestly.
Yeah.
Oh, we got tools. We have tools.
What insights does Theo provide about his experiences at UFC events?
I knew you'd wear a baseball cap. That's why I did this. Oh, thanks, man. But your hair is crazy in this movie. Your hair is wildly thick. awesome in bus boys.
Yeah. I mean, it's pretty lit. I mean, it's definitely, it's not that crazy.
Didn't they put a lot of product in? I mean, it looks like extra, extra.
I mean, nothing like urban, nothing that would get me accepted in like the, you know, in the urban community. Yeah. Yeah.
Oh, I thought he said herb, like in peppers or something.
How does Theo reflect on the making of 'Joe Dirt'?
No, nothing like the funnier way. Theo has Theo has the hair for about six people. It's like sprout. There's a sprout over here and there's crops over here. It's just there's so much going on. But in the movie, I remember he came out with one day with like a little stash. He's like, maybe what if I had a little stash? And I go. yeah, that wouldn't be bad because it still looks like you. We don't want to shock people with a total De Niro transformation. But then he came out a minute later, he goes, yeah, I took it off. I'm like, okay.
This would have been good for Theo. I wrote a character once in a movie that shaved his or took his eyebrow off and then put it down and glued it and pretended it was mustache.
What are the challenges faced when creating a comedy film?
Oh, yeah. Well, I think that's a common prison experience is people, you know, transferring hair amongst each other for different uses. But I was on a cruise one time, and they had like a costume party, and we didn't have any – We needed a mustache, and we didn't have any. So this Brazilian guy had a bunch of good hair, and so he cut us off probably a couple grams of hair. Half baggy? Yeah, just something to get us through the evening. Just under the legal amount.
I thought that would be a conversation stopper. That no way. Theo comes up. Well, of course we had mustaches glued to us on a boat. What are you talking about?
There's a guy that had a mustache in the movie. And when we, we walk out of frame, Theo goes, I like, he's got those prison curtains or something.
How does Theo's comedy style differ from traditional approaches?
And I was like, Theo always comes up with something to say. And Dana was saying one of the big laughs. Cause you know, when Nate Diaz beats up the car, we're not going to talk about the movie the whole time, but, When Nate Diaz beats up the car, Nate and Chris, and we're just standing there, we have nothing to say other than just watch the action. Then Theo goes, hey fellas, we're going to get some pizzas, medium pizzas.
Yeah, that made me laugh out loud.
It's the biggest laugh of the whole thing.
Because it's so, I don't know, something about it. It's so specific and gentle versus all their weird violence. And just why would they need that information?
So Theo's whole thing.
When there's questions, it gets funnier.
Well, those guys were alarming, I think. Alarming is a good term. sedative word for what they were on the low end.
What unique interactions does Theo have with fellow comedians?
Do they scare you for reals a little bit? Because don't they just punch people?
Look, I think they grew up in an asbestos home, maybe even... Lead. Yeah, heavy lead, probably. Pencils everywhere. Unlimited, probably boxes of pencils in the walls.
Different kinds of fungus in the freezer.
Yeah, fungi.
