TheoVaughn is back in the studio with a solo episode. He talks about the heat and what he's been up to. He also talks about some of his favorite songs from the 80's and 90's.
00:08:31.100And then every now and then, you'll see the one Irish guy who they send to check out to see if it's sunny outside, right?
00:08:37.380And that's, I don't know if he lost a bet or whatever, but there's always that one Irish guy that they send out, you know, to check the weather.
00:08:45.720And it could be two degrees Celsius in Ireland, which is, like, 60 degrees Fahrenheit, and he'll come back in with a sunburn.
00:08:53.500It's, there, anybody there, you cut a lamp on and four guys get sunburned in Ireland.
00:09:39.900Because I grew up in New Orleans, you know, and so there, there's a lot of drunk people vomiting and, like, projectile vomiting into people, you know, in the strip clubs and shit.
00:09:50.040And, like, but in Ireland, it's just in them.
00:22:03.160People kept yelling Harry Kane at me, and I thought my penis was hanging out.
00:22:08.160I'm like, oh, shit, I'll wax it, you know.
00:22:11.920But, yeah, I just want to say thank you to everybody that came out over there.
00:22:16.180It's just such a crazy experience to go to another country and people come out to the show, you know.
00:22:21.180And then you're worried that, like, people don't, like, they don't know what you're talking about or that you have to change your references or whatever.
00:22:28.200But that's not the, you know, some of that's all in my head.
00:22:31.340So I think, like, in the first shows of, in Ireland, I was, like, worried, like, there's this exchange rate or whatever.
00:30:10.980A lot of guys are afraid to say it, you know, you know, and I will say that I promised my father on his deathbed that I would not go to a WNBA game.
00:30:20.680Um, that was like his one promise or whatever.
00:30:25.440And, and I put, you know, and I felt like, of course I won't go.
00:30:31.140Um, and he, he goes, oh, your mother, if your mother found out you went to a WNBA game, she'd roll over in her grave.
00:30:39.980And I said, I remember being like, well, mom's not dead yet.
00:30:43.340And he's like, she's dead on the inside.
00:32:27.620You know, at this point in my life, I can't dunk.
00:32:30.800So if I'm going to the hoop and I got a layup, it's the, there's nothing more relatable to a white guy than driving to the hoop and you can't dunk.
00:32:41.220So at that moment, I was like, holy shit, this is the most relatable moment of my whole life.
00:32:47.740I can't really relate to all those bangers that are out there in the NBA.
00:32:53.260All those Beyonce Carters, baby, them Vince Carters.
00:32:57.200I can't really, you know, I can admire it, but I can't relate to it.
00:33:05.220But when you see somebody coasting through the lane or trying to figure it out, catching a bounce pass, and they're going up and the only thing they can do is lay up, bro.
00:33:18.260As a white, off-white, semi-Nicaraguan guy, I can relate a thousand percent, dude.
00:33:28.200So that's one thing that I realized that was so relatable about the games, man.
00:33:34.480The second thing that I thought was really fascinating is, as a man, some of the players, you're attracted to them.
00:33:42.300You know, you're watching the players.
00:50:13.620They let—I'm just so excited now that they made somebody believe something, and now that dude is like, no, you're not telling me I'm not the president.
00:50:42.180And it has in mine—it has at certain periods in my life, watching porno and everything and watching porno was making me—it was ruining my life.
00:50:58.560Well, watching pornography has become commonplace today, and oftentimes men will use porno to numb the pain of loneliness, boredom, anxiety, and depression.
00:51:09.460That's why I want to introduce you to my friend, Stephen Wolt.
00:51:14.880Steve is the founder of Valor Recovery.
01:18:27.580But just so many times you see guys and you can feel that just like that hope in them that, like, I'm a month away from the pain that I was in.
01:18:37.880And I think maybe I just even think about it for me, but it's something that a lot of us can relate to in program, dog.
01:22:37.860But thank you for sharing that with us, dude.
01:22:40.260And just, yeah, there's – it's such a time in your life.
01:22:45.500All right, let's get – finish this episode.
01:22:50.760I want to say thank you to everybody that came out in Idaho and Utah, everybody that came out in England and Ireland.
01:22:59.100Everybody that's come out everywhere, I think one of the disappointing parts about not doing a lot of solo episodes is not being able to thank everybody for the different shows and different weekends.
01:23:07.620And, man, I even did a show in New Orleans, and I don't even know when I was on stage if I thanked the people that were from my hometown for coming.
01:23:16.400You know, some of it's nothing purposeful.
