Imagine sitting down, chatting with one of your childhood idols, and making him laugh his off with your jokes. You can just feel how happy he is. Proud of you Theo, ratking is unstoppable!
I know. No matter how good the interview goes, I always feel there's a little disconnect between Theo and the other person. But not here. Flair is 100% clicked in. 😂
Well, to be fair, Theo and Flair both get accused of being mentally insane and high off coke, even when they’re both stone cold sober. Lol it only makes sense that they’d vibe together
Theo may be the best pop culture interviewer in the game right now! Gives the guest tons of room, makes them super comfortable, yet can make them legit laugh hard 3-4 times. Excellent work Theo!
Yeah I hear he has been trying to make his way back into riff raffe life also (obviously after he abandoned him has a child also). Really did make a superstar bloodline if you ask me
What I love about this interview is the fact it feels like Theo associates ric with fatherhood and feels like he’s coming at this like a son finally able to talk straight with his father
This is absolutely legendary! I love that the Nature Boy matches Theo's level of humor & is picking up what Theo puts down. I'm gonna start a petition for a Von Flair tag team. WOOOOOOO!
This dude is straight rising through the ranks at light speed. Congrats Theo, you earned everything you have and people need to recognize how talented you are
I'd like this comment but it's at the magical level of 69. Anyone who attempts to like this comment, read mine, unlike it, then leave a comment until 420 is left, from there some mythical being shall rise and a new world will begin.
He is very skillful, Theo knows when to go in for the killer question. He is pandering to this old fools deep love for himself. I don't know who he is?
@@Chrisdrumzwith anybody else? I would agree with you. But Ric Flair stories have been corroborated by other wrestlers including Hulk Hogan and Roddy Piper. He’s WILD 😂
that story about his son's passing and associating that with why he drank that way for so many years is insane. props to Theo for asking some brave questions
@@eschulz1987they don’t get belts for nothing. Scripted or not, it takes hard work and talent. You’d be world champ in being an absolute tool. UNSCRIPTED.
he’s really not. half the time he just stares off into space and is like “sooo uhhh what else can i think to say?” and starts EVERY story with “i remember this time that…” he just has good guests. he is not a good interviewer.
@@nargi You're right, he's not the smoothest interviewer when it comes to steering the conversation seamlessly, but his guests genuinely enjoy his humor and approachability, making for engaging podcasts. As a wrestling fan, I've heard Ric Flair on various podcasts, including his own, and this is his best one yet.
I met Ric Flair and his wife at the Atlanta airport in 2005. I had just purchased his autobiography at the airport book store . Such an absolute and complete gentleman. He was rolling his wife's luggage when I greeted him. He introduced me to her, I shook both their hands, and then he signed my book. So classy. I met Shawn Michaels 5 minutes before that - same thing, he introduced me to his wife and asked me if I was born again. Both guys were gentlemen.
@@shrekster3990that’s what makes him a good interviewer he doesn’t ask basic or common questions. He has his own style and doesn’t try to be joe Rogan.
Rogan is good for dry, non-comedy clips with random celebrities and self-help gurus etc., Theo is much better when it comes to comedy and random people off the street.
That was really sweet of Ric to say that he was basically proud to be sitting with Theo, as opposed to everyone else in his business he considers washed up or not doing well. Which shows he respects Theo because he respects himself enough for where he’s at. This is such a fun interview!
@@visionet3241 I would never hate on Ric lol dude said that he laughed through the whole video so I pointed out the part where Ric tells the story where his son died.
yea i think it was more hogans personality. not that its a bad one but theo is theo and ric is for sure more of a joker imo so they just seemed to vibe real easy together. great podcast for both ric and hogan but theo and ric was vibing to hard not to enjoy this one better lol
@@DarhkCrizzusyeah two totally different personalities. Hogan is more reserved and not quite as easy going as ric is who is a guy people can shoot the shit with. just a cooler cat
Theo, I really admire your bravery in immediately asking about Ric's son after he described how he passed. It's a gamble on continuing on the subject but Ric needed to reminisce on the good times in order to flip the energy right back around. You're a real one. Never stop being you!

Oh man if feels like Ric Flair is a guy who you could hang out with all day and never even have to hear the wrestling stories. Just so much enthusiasm and life inside of him.
He's an insecure sad man, who's allowed those insecurities to break up the home he had with his kids. That saw him lose wife after wife, to become an alcoholic with no remorse. Who had to face financial ruination multiple times, despite earning enough to live multiple lifetimes..
So cool to see Theo interview these wrestling legends, with so much respect, and gratitude for what they added to his childhood, and life. Really great content Rat King

I have seen a hundred Flair interviews, this, by far, is the best. Amazing questions, a different slant on most topics, and just so much fun. This was really excellent.
*RIC DIDNT HAVE AN INTERVIEW. RIC WAS HAVING A GREAT FUN TIME JUST HANGING OUT AND SHOOTING THE SHID WITH THEO. THIS WAS AWESOME. GOT TO SEE REAL RIC. SO MUCH BETTER THAN JUST QUESTION AND ANSWER. CAN SEE RIC IS A HUMBLE DUDE. NOTHING TO HIDE, NO DECEPTION. HIS LIFE IS ON HIS SLEEVE!!*
Man. This hit on something for me, I never really knew my dad and he died in 2008 before I could ever form a relationship with him. It makes total sense now why I really enjoy talking to guys who are much older than me. Really glad to hear you say that and help me realize Theo.
This is a top quality podcast. Photos added in post, podcast wherever, Hogan’s house and bring the sign, and Theo bringing the good quality conversation and stories. Love it
Ric Flair and Theo Von, WOOOOO! Fantastic interview! Neither of these guys ever gets old. I still watch old videos of Ric in his heyday. Nobody better, funnier or more entertaining.
I hope you're okay 10 months later. I just lost my brother and he is missed more than he would have believed so - I hope you are okay and aware of how much you are loved.
My grandfather was a police officer in Wilkesboro,NC in the 70s and 80s and he got a call one night for a man in a robe flashing women, it was Ric Flair when Ric was with Crockett and they came to town 😂
By far the BEST interview I've seen Theo do. Rics a LEGEND and Theos a LEGEND for conducting this interview the way he did. It made me so happy to see Ric flair laughing and cutting up the way Theo had him doing.
I've seen countless Ric Flair interviews over the years, and I've never heard anyone get him to laugh the way Theo did.
Ive seen countless Ric Flair interviews and im surprised im still hearing new stories. I need a ten hour interview, so much to cover
@Jasmin_Future_Girlhhjjh le ñna
I think this is the first time I've heard him belly laugh
@@ScotteMhe did a 10 hour shoot interview with Highspots - well worth a listen but little bit more wrestling focused
I've never seen anyone get him as hard as you do 😘
Imagine sitting down, chatting with one of your childhood idols, and making him laugh his off with your jokes. You can just feel how happy he is. Proud of you Theo, ratking is unstoppable!
I commented nearly the same thing! didn't see yours so I deleted mine lol. Gotta be surreal.
Heck Yeah... and to see Rick enjoy himself with Theo.... its awesome
This is the comment i was looking for because i wanted to comment the same thing
Now imagine doing it two weeks in a row
@delinseurn great point! and they were talking about Ric too.
The chemistry between these two is phenomenal.. It's rare to see someone match theo's vibe.

He'd make a great stepdaddy for Theo. They're on the same wave length.

Definitely the best interviewer out there. No one compares
I love when father and son reunite after so many years apart.

So it was rick flair , who left Joe dirt at the grand canyon ...

This might’ve been my favorite one. Imagine how excited little Theo would be knowing he was gonna interview him some day. How incredible!
What an awesome thought!!!
When Ric Flair said "I never told this story before" I got straight chills. Imagine being on a plane with this man in the 70s
I don't want to imagine being a stewardess...
As soon as he says that he's likely about to lie or exaggerate.
@@Chrisdrumzwith anybody else? I would agree with you. But Ric Flair stories have been corroborated by other wrestlers including Hulk Hogan and Roddy Piper. He’s WILD 😂
To be 74 and have as much ring wear and partied as much as he did he's still quick witted and can remember all these old stories... Amazing
The best part of this interview is watching Ric laugh. The laughter is just so genuine. They would make a great team.
This is the opposite of second hand embarrassment, this is second hand joy. Forever living vicariously through Theo Von
Ric Flair talking about his small testicles is making me cry from laughter.
that story about his son's passing and associating that with why he drank that way for so many years is insane. props to Theo for asking some brave questions
I had to pause the video. That literally brought me to tears. I cannot even imagine that kind of pain...

“What’s it like to be in a coma? I’ve always wanted to be in a coma.” Precious Theo ❤
So cool to see Theo interview these wrestling legends, with so much respect, and gratitude for what they added to his childhood, and life. Really great content Rat King
So sad we never got a Theo and Iron Sheik interview
YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I HAD TO REWIND BACK? This episode is GOLD!!!!
Flair cracking up at Theo's "wiener pills" routine is a classic moment.
That really got my soul in a good way.
@@ThenDarknessFalls/ then darkness falls. That’s tremendous.😂
For need a PapiToon for that segment
Man that was the funniest thing I’ve seen in awhile
anyone got a timestamp for dat?
the way Theo giggled throughout this is so sweet. Theo met a hero. Bless!
This is one of my all time favorite Theo podcasts I’ve seen. They’re having a great time together. 😂
Royce white
Theo: “I’ve always wanted to be in coma”
Ric: “You dream”
Theo: “wow”
🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭
The Nature Boy is timeless even with two watches on.
i don’t think i’ve ever heard theo laugh as hard as i have when Ric told the story about the doctor at the rehab center 😂
I love these podcasts because I know how much Theo loves wrestling and he clearly admires Rick.
I would watch a podcast with Theo, Ron Funches, Dan Soder and Tony Hinchcliff where they watch old WWE shows and break them down.
Ric’s rehab story had me in tears 😂😂😂
theo and ric laughing together is so wholesome 🥲
“Looking for the last two pieces of Halloween candy in a pillowcase” This episode started strong and is chock full of Theo-isms. And Rick seems to be having a fucking blast!
not even 10 minutes in and theo had ric cracking up loved that
Lol he joked around more with ric then he did with hogan, I wonder why?
@@RealityMFiction Because flair received the jokes/cracks better. Hogan seemed to be annoyed by some of the Theoisms.
@@RealityMFictionI think Hogan is just in pain a lot. It's hell getting old.
'The roids would make me want to choke out my step mother, and I aint even have one'
I never watched wrestling but I got to say listening to you both laughing so hard is the absolute best. It's contagious. Thank you both. So funny
Von + Flair = straight gold! You guys are amazing together and this was one of my favorite episodes( I’m a loooong time listener).
Gang gang
These two guys making each other laugh... Superb. Theo's a GREAT interviewer... I respect his honesty and candor.
I appreciate how Theo does his research on the guests he has, it really translates into a good podcast.
Yea also love how he shows pics of the people told in the stories so we can visualize or recognize them in a way
Probably just watched the original Rogan podcast most of em been on
Theo was definitely a die hard pro wrestling fan, he's got knowledge only true old school fans would know
Love it when Theo asks questions that the guest hasn’t been asked before

Quite possibly one of if not the most entertaining interview I’ve ever watched
Theo Von and Ric Flair, the interview we didn’t know we needed but damn sure are glad we got it!
Bruhh Ric’s story about hitting up the bar after completing rehab is hilarious 😂😂😂😂
Trading in his chip for a drink hahaha
haha what minute ?
They need to do a podcast together. They mesh so well, and their laughs are infectious 😂
imagine , flair & von ... that would be awesome
Lmao this was FANTASTIC. I've never seen Theo laugh this much in an interview. I was doubled over for most of it
I have seen a hundred Flair interviews, this, by far, is the best. Amazing questions, a different slant on most topics, and just so much fun. This was really excellent.
Ric's laugh. Christ I can't stop laughing when he laughs
Two very likeable people laughing is highly contagious, I was giggling like a retard throughout this whole podcast.
How would you rate'em ?
nah I am legit laughing at the same thing lol
Yo waddup Kerrick, I knew you had great taste👌
You'd be a great interview on this podcast
*RIC DIDNT HAVE AN INTERVIEW. RIC WAS HAVING A GREAT FUN TIME JUST HANGING OUT AND SHOOTING THE SHID WITH THEO. THIS WAS AWESOME. GOT TO SEE REAL RIC. SO MUCH BETTER THAN JUST QUESTION AND ANSWER. CAN SEE RIC IS A HUMBLE DUDE. NOTHING TO HIDE, NO DECEPTION. HIS LIFE IS ON HIS SLEEVE!!*
Man. This hit on something for me, I never really knew my dad and he died in 2008 before I could ever form a relationship with him. It makes total sense now why I really enjoy talking to guys who are much older than me. Really glad to hear you say that and help me realize Theo.
This is a top quality podcast. Photos added in post, podcast wherever, Hogan’s house and bring the sign, and Theo bringing the good quality conversation and stories. Love it
“Everything is rule now, don’t attack the pilot, don’t smoke in the bathroom.” It went over flair’s head lol I cracked up
Thanks so much for being here rick, hey have you been to a lot of funerals? Which were the hardest ones?? Damn Theo starting this one heavy lmao
A living legend.
Theo on his way to legend status too.
Ric Flair and Theo Von, WOOOOO! Fantastic interview! Neither of these guys ever gets old. I still watch old videos of Ric in his heyday. Nobody better, funnier or more entertaining.
dude we all needed this especially after seeing the HH episode, Theo blessing us out here
With Theo having wrestlers on the pod lately I’m really wanting to see how Booker T and Theo would get along lmao
Probably amazing
THis interview saved my life. Like it litterally just sayed my life.
I hope you're okay 10 months later. I just lost my brother and he is missed more than he would have believed so - I hope you are okay and aware of how much you are loved.
Was never into WWF but your Hulk Hogan interview gave me a new found respect for it, and Hogans Flair stories where mental so set for this 👍 Cheers
i love when guest get Theo's type of humor. its awesome seeing Rik laugh so hard .
Hi there Mr eater of worlds
@@antoniosantaniello9277 ha ha ha earth is next on my list
My grandfather was a police officer in Wilkesboro,NC in the 70s and 80s and he got a call one night for a man in a robe flashing women, it was Ric Flair when Ric was with Crockett and they came to town 😂
what happened after that?
Von's funny, low-key comedic quips, AND Flair's laughing is brilliant!!
wow i’ve never in my life seen ric laugh that hard. this is amazing. loving every second
By far the BEST interview I've seen Theo do. Rics a LEGEND and Theos a LEGEND for conducting this interview the way he did. It made me so happy to see Ric flair laughing and cutting up the way Theo had him doing.
Man, this a such a great ep, y'all. Ric Flair & Theo is just a damn good conversation.
Gang gang 😎
I dont think *ANYONE* could make Ric Flair laugh as much as Theo Von can. 2 Legends.
The rehab story is fucking amazing.
Mullet wearing, robe glarin, Past Weekend blaring.. What a day, baby. Woooooooooo !
