@Rowley Jefferson she honestly told my friends a sugar daddy is bs and just escort. Honestly it helped. My super hot Viet friends that were sugar babying for basically nothing stopped and are now doing what they should be paid for that cut off. I personally am I white chick 35 single mom of 4 as solid 6 with make up haha. So I have no teeth in the game but my friends learned alot from one chick
@@octavius8562 i take it youve never seen a botched embalming. these guys who do their job well get to make someones child, father, mother, sister, whatever, look like the person they love so they can say goodbye for the final time, im sure like industry theres some scummy people in the business but overall its a job that if done well should come with alot of respect.
@@octavius8562 I mean Morticians are just like Doctors and Firefighters. It’s a job that not many people can handle, let alone make a successful career out of it.
@@master123214 agreed. Their job comes with an enormous amount of responsibility. If they make one mistake, it sticks with the family forever as a time when a loss made even worse.
He is an absolute craftsman. I work on the phones as my primary job and telling a story with your words and drawing people into what you are saying is a skill. Theo is highly creative so he is able to string words together that a lot of us can’t connect spontaneously like that. High personality trait openness. Check out Jordan Peterson’s big 5 personality lecture series. It is life changing and you can see how we differ and why comedians can do what they do better than most of us can.
Let this get top comment.. This guys name is Frankie G. I literally lived with him during a summer playing baseball as he hosts his house to baseball players who come and play for their town. This man is just as genuine as he seems. He is a Amazing person. I just want everyone to know that. I will never forget his generosity and what/all he does for his local community.
@@platinumbrick6 He is from a small town in Kentucky. I am from Houston. (i dont want to give the town name away as im unsure if he is okay with that. He may say it in the video but im unsure.)
I like Theo's approach of bringing in regular folks to be on the podcast. There's tons of people out there with engaging personalities and experiences, not just celebrities.
All jokes aside, this guy really seems very respectful to each individual that has passed away. Just the way he talks about them and process itself with a certain tenderness makes me really comfortable when my time inevitably comes.
It's interesting hearing all the details from this mortician as a Muslim because as part of our religion we don't do any embalming or cosmetics after death. Once dead, the body is washed in a particular way by the closest family members of the same sex as soon as possible and the deceased is buried in a plain pine coffin, generally and ideally within 24 hours. All of the funeral ceremony and viewing is basically combined into one ceremony where the family and friends do a prayer, view the body and then the body is taken directly to the graveyard. Tbh I'm not exactly sure why there's no embalming other than so the body can decompose naturally and go back into the earth over the time. As the funerals and viewings are done within 24hrs there really isn't any need for keeping the body viable for viewings for several days or even a week or more - which I've seen happen in several funerals for various types of Christians and a reformed Jewish family as well ... Very interesting stuff for some reason lol
@@MoAli-wm4of it used to be the same way here in the US but the death industry has taken over. I believe that's why people in the West view death in such a taboo way. We are no longer close to it. Back in the day the family would wash the body, have the service in their home (this was what the living room used to be used for) then they would be buried in a simple pine box.
This might be the best episode yet. I'd appreciate more regular, working class people to talk to. No one gives a shit about famous people and the same 5 stories they tell every time they go on a podcast. Thanks for this Theo. Can we get a Valero Cashier next?
@@lm1629 yes! I worked retail and even in a department store, the amount of crazzzy things you see (and eventually become immune to) is insane. There was always something going on. Those are great ideas.
A mortician cannot be compared to a gas station clerk, but this was one of the best episodes as far as great guests. I agree, better than any celebrity
The last part really got me…how he has someone hold the baby in a blanket for transport. That is so incredibly considerate and compassionate. What a great man.
I’m in mortician school and some friends who work in the funeral industry have been helping me get my foot in the door and one of my friends funeral home with keep babies on the same tray with an adult if at all possible so they don’t have to be alone in the night. I think babies deserve to know nothing but love even in the afterlife ❤
@@IrelandGaffordmy brother died of sids when he was about 8 weeks old and my mom so distraught that she just couldn’t and didn’t want to leave him at the funeral home and they allowed her to spend the night with him in the funeral home. This was 1983 and in a very small town (jackson TN).
Ur baby or child dying has got to be the most heartbreaking & grief stricken thing to experience. No parent wants to outlive their child. I don’t think I could ever hand my baby that died over to anyone, I would probably run away with the baby 😢
I've worked on an oil rig and it's not that interesting. Most guys would get a hooker after work on Backpages or blow their entire paycheck at stripclubs.
As soon as he said it, it reminded me of when am idiot friend of mine threw a lighter into the fire and the flames shot up into the air for a second. Lol
Because he realizes hes a comedian and hes in there talking to a mortician, i feel like he does this on purpose because wait for it its gonna make people laugh.
Thank you guys. My wife passed six months ago and this shed some light on the process that she went through. Much love Theo, Gang Gang. Shine that light on me, baby!
My son was stillborn so I was in the same scenario discussed at the end - I never wanted to put much thought into his transportation from the hospital to the funeral home, but hearing him talk with such compassion and respect got me. I can only hope he was taken care of by someone as kind as you, Frankie. Thank you.
We had a son stillborn 5 years ago. There’s a wonderful organization called Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep that came and arranged and took some wonderful photographs. It really helped. My boys’ name was Marmaduke.
@@Acemechanicalservices July 3rd was the 9 year mark for my sweet boy, Oliver. I’ve never heard of that organization, but I’ll definitely look them up to at least tell others about them! I was in such a state of shock, I didn’t get any pictures of him while I got to hold him. The nurses were so, so caring and took some photos of him all bundled up and gave them to me, though! My most prized possessions! 💞
I think people that work these jobs are truly the best people. They are faced with real situations everyday, no time for BS. They know that life is sacred and we should all remember that. Easy for us regulars to forget in everyday life.
Mortitian with the bangers " You know that psalms that talks about the valley of the shadow of death? I live in the valley of the shadow of death." GANG GANG
This guy has been at a few of my families funerals, He's very professional and such a nice guy. It was odd seeing him on this, when you first see someone and are like "Wow, they look so familiar!" lol
My grandpa passed in October of 2020. I am unbelievably grateful to the morticians who worked on him and worked with our family. He had an open-casket funeral and looked like he was asleep, so much so I wanted to jump in the casket and shake him awake. He was buried in his favorite shirt, blue jeans, and his favorite cowboy boots. He had his reading glasses in his shirt pocket, his favorite cowboy hat on his chest, and his dog's (who had died a month or so before him) cremains at his feet in the casket. He had a wonderful veteran service and I'll never forget it. God bless Frank and all those who work with the dead and the grieving families.
What a great way to go...that was so thoughtful of the family and the funeral director...what a blessing...im so sorry for your loss...you'll see him again one day..
God Bless your Grandpa. I’m glad you had good services that made a difficult time that much easier! My Grandma died back in September of last year, she was 101 yrs old. Our family also had good service from our morticians. That makes so much of a difference in your time of need. God Bless you and your family Brother!
I’m also a funeral director and I’m so impressed with big Frank’s knowledge of the business. Also so professional. Didn’t know what to expect when you see an embalmer on a podcast with the Rat King, but Frank was a consummate professional. Well done Frank! gang gang baby!
You should downtown nashville.its very similar to California as far as rich fuckers go.nothing but tourist in town but if he was to step right outside of downtown I could show him some areas of town that'd give him all kinds of ideas
I love this guy. I had to cremate my 1 day old twins and 52 year old mother two years apart and he's absolutely right about the funeral director being the loved ones' rock. The guy we picked was AMAZING through the whole process.
I love when Theo has southern style guests on, he gets to put in those specific little jokes and quips that only they understand. 🤣 Great interview brah!
This is probably my favorite ep ever for some reason the questions Theo asks and how frank takes them in stride and answers to the best of his ability. He should come back for a 2 timer in my opinion
I love these episodes where Theo interacts and interviews "regular" people, especially people from the South like this. Because you can tell Theo really feels at home with these type of people. Love you Theo. Keep killin' it bruh
As someone who grew up in the south on a farm but religously and politically felt left out and differnt Theo and the TrillBillys (political pocast) give me all the warm home feelings of the south I miss so much.
Didn't expect a 2 hour interview with a southern mortician to be as interesting as this was .. literally didn't skip a minute of this. Perfect blend of interesting details and comedic relief .. this guy was the perfect guest to do this with too as he was super knowledgeable but could still take a joke and keep the vibe going with Theo ... Awesome stuff gang gang ...
It's clear that he has to be detached when dealing with death every day. Yet still have feelings when dealing with the living relatives. Great guest Theo.
Happy to see theo doin something different and what HE wants to do. Remember him saying awhile ago he was doing episodes w/ ppl he didnt even like like that wolf of wallst. Dude. And theo resonates with working people more than anyone..gang gang!!
As a fellow mortician I like this guy!! He’s explaining exactly how it is in the funeral business. Most people don’t realize what all it takes to have a successful funeral. We only get one shot at doing everything right and if you something goes wrong it can really hurt your business especially in a small Community
A year or two ago the thought of becoming a mortician crossed my mind the cost of caskets+funeral services is extremely high if you live in a big city and do your job really good your literally never gonna run out of business
Frank seems like a real good dude. Down to earth, professional!! Thank you for sharing these experiences and facts about being your line of work as a Mortician.
"You ever buried your family?" "What's the most traumatic experience you've had on the job?" Guy just rolls with it, and Theo knows this guy can take it
@Scottie M same, I tried to give him a chance but even after he saw the feedback from fans after the first episodes he didn’t change anything, kept answering with 1 word and not even trying to be interesting or funny
Although it may be a little morbid, I come back and listen to this ep every few months. It first came out when my mother had passed, so it was comforting listening to this, knowing that people took good care of her. Love you Theo!!
@@hannahr624 he said as soon as they get embalming permission the do it as soon as they get back in case you change your mind its too late they can charge. I knew a guy that worked for these death dealers.
We're parasites that feed off consuming. Can't blame them for capitalizing on how old people will spend ridiculous amount of money to feel safe traveling to a white man in a toga. Give it a decade, we'll do the same to funeral homes as what we did to Toys r us.
@@therover4141 why not both? You can be kind and also make money. We all only operate on self interest. This guys self interest happens to line up with keeping grieving families at ease. He seems genuinely interested in money AND genuinely interested in putting people at peace. Dont be so black and white about everything my brother. I hope can find the balance this gentleman seems to have.
Real talk Theo, talking to people like this is important not only to help with public perception of industries like these, but to help break down the taboo of death in general. There were a few questions that made me recoil, especially when the subject of dead children was broached.. but I think that talking to people like these on popular podcasts such as yours is very important to tearing down taboos and ultimately making death and such less wierd and uncomfortable on top of grieving.. you know?
I went to my grandmother's funeral in the Philippines and she had a glass top casket that sat in the middle of the living room for about a week. We sang karaoke, had a big party, and sat around her while we ate lumpia. Very different experience to here in America.
When my 33 year old sister died 3 months ago of liver failure, we were planning on having a direct cremation. At the last minute, my mom wanted to see her before she was cremated. I know the process, and I was afraid for my mom’s reaction knowing my sister was not embalmed. I called the funeral director before and asked the questions and was assured she would be presentable. She looked amazing. In fact, she looked better 7 days deceased than she did in the hospital. The amount of love and care taken for her will never be forgotten, and I am eternally grateful for Joelle Godfrey and funeral directors like her. Thank you to the people who care for the deceased and give them the respect and dignity they deserve. Thank you for your compassion and care for the families left behind. Your service is so important and appreciated.
I love how he interviews people like his nephews, your local mortician and people from all walks of life, not just those that are famous. It’s unique, strange and hilarious just like Theo, himself. 😂
This is literally one of the most interesting podcasts I’ve ever watched. I watched the whole damn thing man.. who woulda thought. This guy is a real nice dude as well, god bless him
2 things... 1 this guy is from hopkinsville Kentucky. Hes laid to rest countless 101st airborne soldiers from the neighboring fort Campbell. I have the utmost respect for this man and how he treats the bodies/ families of my battle buddies that gave their final sacrifice. 2 can we please get a " mike rowe dirty jobs" style show with theo? Thats the littest hitter on both sides of the Mississippi daddy😂😂💪🐐
2:06:47 The baby story 😢 Theo handled this so well; no jokes. When it comes to the tiniest most helpless it's very serious 💔 Thank you for sharing this very difficult story 😢 I'll never forget when I had a c-section, my 1st and only baby and was up walking around as soon as possible and I noticed a specific wing decorated with butterflies above and around the doors. I finally asked a nurse very quietly why there were doors with butterflies and signs to be very quiet... she softly told me, "Those rooms are for mothers who have just lost a baby or the baby is dying." I didn't say a word as tears poured out of my eyes and down my cheeks... the nurse grabbed a tissue out of her pocket wiped my cheeks and quietly said, "Good job walking; go love on your healthy baby." ❤😢❤ My heart was so very heavy. I made sure to explain to my husband what the butterflies and quiet signs were for. Bless all the mothers who've lost a baby; I'm so sorry 💔😢
I would be hard pressed to come up with a better profession or a better representative of a profession than this guy. He is hilarious. Really good episode.
"Your momma and Jesus always loved ya, Theo!" That's a great message. I'm going to start saying that to people, regardless if their names are Theo or not.
It makes me feel so much better knowing there’s genuinely good people in that place of work, my baby girl was stillborn and i just remember thinking my baby is probably cold even tho i know she’s passed away but i was aware she was in the freezers.. but when i read the autopsy she was in a pink blanket so it made me feel better . i appreciate people that do the hard dark work it’s appreciated it’s not for everyone
He is such a nice man. I love how he said looking at the human body how amazingly it is designed there’s definitely a Creator. Interesting episode thanks Theo!
God bless this man.. I love him. He's got a solid 24 karat heart. He's so articulate too, he rarely ever uses an "uhh" or "umm". I was nervous to hear what he had to say about death, since its a scary subject for me, but he made it sound so personal and almost beautiful.
This guy is legit. In my career as a firefighter/paramedic I’ve worked with many coroners and morticians picking up bodies. Unexpected deaths almost always get EMS on scene first.
This is one of the most genuine guys ever. This is why I love the south. My family is from South Carolina and there's just something about that southern charm.
Like in my town, in South Carolina, I called my friend, who knew Momma, just after her passing. He dressed and was at the hospital at 3:45am, and my my children ( her only 2 grands) and I, viewed her at 9:15 am. Living in a small town, I knew about every local, and it's like dealing with family. Great podcast
@@rrw65Sorry I missed this, but God rest her soul. She's in a better place now. Since this, I've had my grandmama and papa pass away. We'll meet again. I look forward to it. God bless you as well 🙏
Theo, with you living out in the “south” now, you’re gonna come across some characters. Keep interviewing weird normal jobs, these are awesome. I love your mind and normal people’s minds.
@@seancrutcher525 Hey, go reach out! I'm sure there's an endless supply of interesting plumber stories in the world, no reason we need only 1 plumber episode!
@@salvagemonster3612 yeah a lot of people are good. Even working a shitty dead end retail job you'd meet more nice people than you think. We just have a tendency to focus on the worst of us unfortunately, it's human nature. It takes each of us to be a nice person
Loving this "person with a niche job" type of podcast, would love to hear some stories from paramedics, garbage men, firefighters, crime scene cleanup folks, chicken farmers, family court lawyers, nurses, dog walkers, and prison psych ward guards.
@@kalebdeese3192 for that, look up ZACHARY KING TESTIMONY. He started by doing them illegally as a teen. Also hung with celebs as bohemian grove. Mind-blowing interview by a no name podcast
These are my favorite episodes. Even if the people can’t be really well spoken all the time and the pacing and stuff isn’t as good as 2 podcasters but the concept of bribing on interesting normal people is gold and have been great episodes.
I completely agree. I don’t know if I’m alone in this but I’ve learned to kind of hate when other comedians are guests, they all say the same things. At least we know the random guy doing random job is going to have something other than comedy drama to talk about.
Definitely. I think other comedians /podcasters are boring in comparison. But to their credit, they have to constantly come up with new topics for podcasting whereas every person has a lifetime of interesting stories they could share in an hour, which is why these guest episodes are always the best. Once they run out of stories though, they might be total bores
Great guy that knows his trade and takes it seriously. Refreshing to hear someone that's an actual expert that knows what they're talking about (instead of social media influencers and celebrities just giving their opinions and making stuff up)
Be good to yourself, you deserve it.

My son was stillborn so I was in the same scenario discussed at the end - I never wanted to put much thought into his transportation from the hospital to the funeral home, but hearing him talk with such compassion and respect got me. I can only hope he was taken care of by someone as kind as you, Frankie. Thank you.
That's so heartbreaking 😢
We had a son stillborn 5 years ago. There’s a wonderful organization called Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep that came and arranged and took some wonderful photographs. It really helped. My boys’ name was Marmaduke.
@@Acemechanicalservices July 3rd was the 9 year mark for my sweet boy, Oliver. I’ve never heard of that organization, but I’ll definitely look them up to at least tell others about them! I was in such a state of shock, I didn’t get any pictures of him while I got to hold him. The nurses were so, so caring and took some photos of him all bundled up and gave them to me, though! My most prized possessions! 💞
@@opalwzrd I'm sorry for your loss, may god rest his innocent soul.
I think people that work these jobs are truly the best people. They are faced with real situations everyday, no time for BS. They know that life is sacred and we should all remember that.
Easy for us regulars to forget in everyday life.

That’s why it talks about it because that’s where we are
I’m new to this channel what does Gang Gang mean?
This guy has been at a few of my families funerals, He's very professional and such a nice guy. It was odd seeing him on this, when you first see someone and are like "Wow, they look so familiar!" lol
I recognized him too
i recognized him too, saw him at a comedy show a couple times.. weird seeing theo at a funeral but gang brotha
What up my Kentucky Boys!
I want to hear Theo interview a bowling alley manager. I feel like those ball fondlers see the full spectrum of human experience.
Praise God.

That’s a good one I been trying to think of some. A janitor on Wall Street?
@@joshchapman4753 that's another good one. A carnival "Carnie" ?
Haha I would love that
My grandpa passed in October of 2020. I am unbelievably grateful to the morticians who worked on him and worked with our family. He had an open-casket funeral and looked like he was asleep, so much so I wanted to jump in the casket and shake him awake. He was buried in his favorite shirt, blue jeans, and his favorite cowboy boots. He had his reading glasses in his shirt pocket, his favorite cowboy hat on his chest, and his dog's (who had died a month or so before him) cremains at his feet in the casket. He had a wonderful veteran service and I'll never forget it. God bless Frank and all those who work with the dead and the grieving families.
What a great way to go...that was so thoughtful of the family and the funeral director...what a blessing...im so sorry for your loss...you'll see him again one day..
The glasses in the pocket is a beautiful touch! Sounds like a great guy!
God Bless your Grandpa. I’m glad you had good services that made a difficult time that much easier! My Grandma died back in September of last year, she was 101 yrs old. Our family also had good service from our morticians. That makes so much of a difference in your time of need. God Bless you and your family Brother!
I would like to thank the universe for giving Theo Von to the world.
Gang gang.
And curse it for what it's done to him along the way.
Amen
"We carry a baby in a blanket. Its not fitting to put a baby in a tackle box" true humanity at its finest.
Tim Dillon has a really interesting side hustle.
😆😆
Add Mortician to the list of Tim’s fake businesses
Timmy would end up fucking the bodies.
😆
lmao
I’m also a funeral director and I’m so impressed with big Frank’s knowledge of the business. Also so professional. Didn’t know what to expect when you see an embalmer on a podcast with the Rat King, but Frank was a consummate professional. Well done Frank! gang gang baby!
“What’s the most dienest time of year?” - Best Theoism (Doesn’t skip a beat) “Usually 1st quarter.” 🤣🤣🤣 this episode loaded with Theoism’s
Theo’s content since moving to Nashville has been phenomenal
I agree
Love this also. Keep it up. Gang gang.
Theo needs to get Marcus King on here. He lives in Nashville.
You should downtown nashville.its very similar to California as far as rich fuckers go.nothing but tourist in town but if he was to step right outside of downtown I could show him some areas of town that'd give him all kinds of ideas
Theo: "can you eat near the body?"
Morticion: smiles sneakily "its frowned upon."
😂😂
Onwards
😂👀 woah some honeys in the comments
Jessics Schwenn
Yea im used to it... The question is can YOU eat near the body
@@realistixx8940 where???
I love this guy. I had to cremate my 1 day old twins and 52 year old mother two years apart and he's absolutely right about the funeral director being the loved ones' rock. The guy we picked was AMAZING through the whole process.
So very sorry for so much loss.
Sending peace and positive thought to you and the twin's Mommy. I'm sorry.
Theo asks questions like a kindergartener sometimes. This guy seems real genuine and respectful. I would for sure trust him with my loved one.
@Winston Nips like to do a funeral for my loved one and be respectful and caring. Didn't think I would really have to explain that to someone.
@@thaking19851 🤣
I called the mortician to take my wife away but they only take dead ones
I want Theo to be my uncle so bad
@@se-aiones amen, uncle gang
I love when Theo has southern style guests on, he gets to put in those specific little jokes and quips that only they understand. 🤣
Great interview brah!
Like grill them down
I really liked this guy. He was a good sport with all of Theo's ridiculous questions. Great podcast
This is probably my favorite ep ever for some reason the questions Theo asks and how frank takes them in stride and answers to the best of his ability. He should come back for a 2 timer in my opinion
I love these episodes where Theo interacts and interviews "regular" people, especially people from the South like this. Because you can tell Theo really feels at home with these type of people. Love you Theo. Keep killin' it bruh
As someone who grew up in the south on a farm but religously and politically felt left out and differnt Theo and the TrillBillys (political pocast) give me all the warm home feelings of the south I miss so much.
It’s just good people.
There’s a lot of negative stereotypes of the south, some well earned, but I wouldn’t trade growing up there for nothing.
Man I'm from South Carolina and I smiled because this guy's mannerisms and vibes remind me of a lot of people I know.
Didn't expect a 2 hour interview with a southern mortician to be as interesting as this was .. literally didn't skip a minute of this. Perfect blend of interesting details and comedic relief .. this guy was the perfect guest to do this with too as he was super knowledgeable but could still take a joke and keep the vibe going with Theo ... Awesome stuff gang gang ...
"there aint no TSA when you're flyin up to heaven" lmao
It's clear that he has to be detached when dealing with death every day. Yet still have feelings when dealing with the living relatives. Great guest Theo.
This guy is such a good sport. He meshes well with Theo
Happy to see theo doin something different and what HE wants to do. Remember him saying awhile ago he was doing episodes w/ ppl he didnt even like like that wolf of wallst. Dude. And theo resonates with working people more than anyone..gang gang!!
TJ Miller too I think.
We all do, celebs are boring
Michael K am i the only one who liked tj’s vibe?
@@MertSu66 Yes, I don't mind nails on a chalkboard, but TJ miller makes my skin crawl. I'm not even joking at all.
@@aspiringnormie9499 he didnt like tj you're saying?
As a fellow mortician I like this guy!! He’s explaining exactly how it is in the funeral business. Most people don’t realize what all it takes to have a successful funeral. We only get one shot at doing everything right and if you something goes wrong it can really hurt your business especially in a small Community
Is your name actually Waylon?
A year or two ago the thought of becoming a mortician crossed my mind the cost of caskets+funeral services is extremely high if you live in a big city and do your job really good your literally never gonna run out of business
Frank seems like a real good dude. Down to earth, professional!!
Thank you for sharing these experiences and facts about being your line of work as a Mortician.
“If there is a leak what do you do put a chip clip?” Theo... I can’t handle you hahaha
I cried i laughed so hard
Cimkowksi is an epicly polish last name lol
It was funny.
... And, pretty accurate as well as it turned out. Lol
"You ever buried your family?"
"What's the most traumatic experience you've had on the job?"
Guy just rolls with it, and Theo knows this guy can take it
Riley's gone and Theo has a mortician over...
Uh oh
Who is it if Riley is gone? Nick?
😂
Rip Riley Mao 🤘
@Scottie M same, I tried to give him a chance but even after he saw the feedback from fans after the first episodes he didn’t change anything, kept answering with 1 word and not even trying to be interesting or funny
@@ColemanCovers dito and u said that fairly i did the same man
Although it may be a little morbid, I come back and listen to this ep every few months. It first came out when my mother had passed, so it was comforting listening to this, knowing that people took good care of her. Love you Theo!!
He seems like such a wholesome mortician. I'm pumped to see what kind of questions Theo has for him.
No such thing these dudes are out to squeeze as much money from grieving families. Its a racket
Probably botha but just gotta get that clearance cremation.
@@hannahr624 he said as soon as they get embalming permission the do it as soon as they get back in case you change your mind its too late they can charge. I knew a guy that worked for these death dealers.
We're parasites that feed off consuming. Can't blame them for capitalizing on how old people will spend ridiculous amount of money to feel safe traveling to a white man in a toga. Give it a decade, we'll do the same to funeral homes as what we did to Toys r us.
@@therover4141 why not both? You can be kind and also make money. We all only operate on self interest. This guys self interest happens to line up with keeping grieving families at ease. He seems genuinely interested in money AND genuinely interested in putting people at peace. Dont be so black and white about everything my brother. I hope can find the balance this gentleman seems to have.
Real talk Theo, talking to people like this is important not only to help with public perception of industries like these, but to help break down the taboo of death in general. There were a few questions that made me recoil, especially when the subject of dead children was broached.. but I think that talking to people like these on popular podcasts such as yours is very important to tearing down taboos and ultimately making death and such less wierd and uncomfortable on top of grieving.. you know?
I went to my grandmother's funeral in the Philippines and she had a glass top casket that sat in the middle of the living room for about a week. We sang karaoke, had a big party, and sat around her while we ate lumpia. Very different experience to here in America.
I already know this is going to be a banger
Gang Bruh
That Halloween Hitter
When my 33 year old sister died 3 months ago of liver failure, we were planning on having a direct cremation. At the last minute, my mom wanted to see her before she was cremated. I know the process, and I was afraid for my mom’s reaction knowing my sister was not embalmed. I called the funeral director before and asked the questions and was assured she would be presentable. She looked amazing. In fact, she looked better 7 days deceased than she did in the hospital. The amount of love and care taken for her will never be forgotten, and I am eternally grateful for Joelle Godfrey and funeral directors like her. Thank you to the people who care for the deceased and give them the respect and dignity they deserve. Thank you for your compassion and care for the families left behind. Your service is so important and appreciated.
So sorry for your loss
When you said this man was going to hell after he told you his body count, I lost it.
Like 4000 Theo: Oh youre going to hell 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was the highlight for me too
Theo, this podcast actually helped me with my grief over my father. Thank you sir.
This is the best damn interview. Theo is hitting him with those hitter questions
I love how he interviews people like his nephews, your local mortician and people from all walks of life, not just those that are famous. It’s unique, strange and hilarious just like Theo, himself. 😂

No. He's one that actually didn't change when he moved to the coast. Refreshing.
This is literally one of the most interesting podcasts I’ve ever watched. I watched the whole damn thing man.. who woulda thought. This guy is a real nice dude as well, god bless him
2 things...
1 this guy is from hopkinsville Kentucky. Hes laid to rest countless 101st airborne soldiers from the neighboring fort Campbell. I have the utmost respect for this man and how he treats the bodies/ families of my battle buddies that gave their final sacrifice.
2 can we please get a " mike rowe dirty jobs" style show with theo? Thats the littest hitter on both sides of the Mississippi daddy😂😂💪🐐
Come on dont be shy, we all know its really called Hop Town 😂

2:06:47 The baby story 😢
Theo handled this so well; no jokes. When it comes to the tiniest most helpless it's very serious 💔 Thank you for sharing this very difficult story 😢 I'll never forget when I had a c-section, my 1st and only baby and was up walking around as soon as possible and I noticed a specific wing decorated with butterflies above and around the doors. I finally asked a nurse very quietly why there were doors with butterflies and signs to be very quiet... she softly told me, "Those rooms are for mothers who have just lost a baby or the baby is dying." I didn't say a word as tears poured out of my eyes and down my cheeks... the nurse grabbed a tissue out of her pocket wiped my cheeks and quietly said, "Good job walking; go love on your healthy baby." ❤😢❤ My heart was so very heavy. I made sure to explain to my husband what the butterflies and quiet signs were for. Bless all the mothers who've lost a baby; I'm so sorry 💔😢
Do you happen to remember if the butterflys were a certain color like blue or just random colors
Dang.. can only imagine.
I would be hard pressed to come up with a better profession or a better representative of a profession than this guy. He is hilarious. Really good episode.
Whoever booked this guy, 10/10. Great find! Nice person, got Theo's humor, I think I learned something. Gang.
Units of volume
The world: liters
USA: gallons
Theo Von: handfuls
Lol
Don't forget about:
"A thing of"
Joe Rogan "How much do you think you cum?"
Theo "...I'd say about an eleventh of a handful"
@@bitflop there’s 4 “A thing of...”s in a “handful”
I feel like you should be able to put a few handfuls... into a thing of something.
"Your momma and Jesus always loved ya, Theo!" That's a great message. I'm going to start saying that to people, regardless if their names are Theo or not.
Theo-"you ever roll up on some fowl play "
Southern Mortician-" Now, one time, I did roll up"
Yep, laughed when he said he rolled up on a suicide
Its cool to see theo interact with a normal dude. Serious southern vibes on this one
RIP Billy Conforto.
RIP Riley Mau
The gentleman might know about Billy’s latest eternal whereabouts.
He’s bussin’ for the lord now. RIP
went straight up to heaven from that embankment
RIP to that man
It makes me feel so much better knowing there’s genuinely good people in that place of work, my baby girl was stillborn and i just remember thinking my baby is probably cold even tho i know she’s passed away but i was aware she was in the freezers.. but when i read the autopsy she was in a pink blanket so it made me feel better . i appreciate people that do the hard dark work it’s appreciated it’s not for everyone
Interesting guest and one hell of an interview 😂. Dude rolled with theos crazy ass questions for 2 hours what a legend
I love how honest he is and respectful about it he is
He is such a nice man. I love how he said looking at the human body how amazingly it is designed there’s definitely a Creator. Interesting episode thanks Theo!
It's not really a logical perspective but I guess it feels nice to believe in spooky spirits that there is no actual evidence of Lol
That dude is a special kind of man to be able to do this kind of work, This guy is real cool he was a good guest.
I find the mortician adorable. I love his accent.
I know, I wish him more health, he's a keeper down here! A good guy.
Out of the blue dark arts hitter coming in on this fine Tuesday evening. A crispy 85 outside. Gonna take a hit from the hose and enjoy this one. Gang.

God bless this man.. I love him. He's got a solid 24 karat heart. He's so articulate too, he rarely ever uses an "uhh" or "umm". I was nervous to hear what he had to say about death, since its a scary subject for me, but he made it sound so personal and almost beautiful.
I really like the episodes with guests who aren't celebrities. Theo, you're so humble and it creates such a great energy.
This guy is legit. In my career as a firefighter/paramedic I’ve worked with many coroners and morticians picking up bodies. Unexpected deaths almost always get EMS on scene first.
Truth
This is one of the most genuine guys ever. This is why I love the south. My family is from South Carolina and there's just something about that southern charm.
Wilmington North CaCalaky!!
Like in my town, in South Carolina, I called my friend, who knew Momma, just after her passing. He dressed and was at the hospital at 3:45am, and my my children ( her only 2 grands) and I, viewed her at 9:15 am. Living in a small town, I knew about every local, and it's like dealing with family. Great podcast
@@rrw65Sorry I missed this, but God rest her soul. She's in a better place now. Since this, I've had my grandmama and papa pass away. We'll meet again. I look forward to it. God bless you as well 🙏
Theo, with you living out in the “south” now, you’re gonna come across some characters. Keep interviewing weird normal jobs, these are awesome. I love your mind and normal people’s minds.
Right.lol
I'm a plumber from nashville.i was wishing I couldve been his guest when I watched that episode
@@seancrutcher525 Hey, go reach out! I'm sure there's an endless supply of interesting plumber stories in the world, no reason we need only 1 plumber episode!
Normal?? This is amazing
What a good guy. We need more people like this in this world.
Dude plenty of good folks out there. News and TH-cam just don’t show those folks
@@salvagemonster3612 yeah a lot of people are good. Even working a shitty dead end retail job you'd meet more nice people than you think. We just have a tendency to focus on the worst of us unfortunately, it's human nature. It takes each of us to be a nice person
I'm loving the awkward, but friendly silences every time theo tells an off topic ,random story.
Loving this "person with a niche job" type of podcast, would love to hear some stories from paramedics, garbage men, firefighters, crime scene cleanup folks, chicken farmers, family court lawyers, nurses, dog walkers, and prison psych ward guards.
It's not your fault...
He interviewed an arctic researcher the summer before this interview
What about an arborist?
@@kalebdeese3192 for that, look up ZACHARY KING TESTIMONY. He started by doing them illegally as a teen. Also hung with celebs as bohemian grove. Mind-blowing interview by a no name podcast
I kill chickens. It's not fun. But one interesting thing is we cut their beaks off
These are my favorite episodes. Even if the people can’t be really well spoken all the time and the pacing and stuff isn’t as good as 2 podcasters but the concept of bribing on interesting normal people is gold and have been great episodes.
The plumber episode is an all time favourite man. All hail the toilet champ
I completely agree. I don’t know if I’m alone in this but I’ve learned to kind of hate when other comedians are guests, they all say the same things. At least we know the random guy doing random job is going to have something other than comedy drama to talk about.
I could not agree more.
If you're gonna bribe someone the death man is the guy.
Definitely. I think other comedians /podcasters are boring in comparison. But to their credit, they have to constantly come up with new topics for podcasting whereas every person has a lifetime of interesting stories they could share in an hour, which is why these guest episodes are always the best. Once they run out of stories though, they might be total bores
"How long does it take to really grill somebody down?" 😂😂😂
Lol too good
Great guy that knows his trade and takes it seriously. Refreshing to hear someone that's an actual expert that knows what they're talking about (instead of social media influencers and celebrities just giving their opinions and making stuff up)
Theo bringing the internet the interview it didn't know it needed
