Theo introduces the guest: “Today's guest is Young Gravy,” described as a rapper and composer on tour with a fresh album Marvelous, and a veteran of the show who is returning. The conversation covers the show’s energy and production: Gravy co-headlines with BBno$, and features Soulja Boy, Freddie Dredd, and Jesse McCartney; they built seven acts to interweave performances. Gravy notes a two hour set with about forty one songs, and daily meet and greets, which he values for fan connections and gifts. He shares a memorable moment about a fan who brought his mother’s urn to a show, and a gold katana given as a gift, fully gold encrusted with purple accents. Gravy discusses the tour’s scale: it is the biggest he has done, with Minneapolis selling 7,800 tickets and Seattle near 8,000; the overall average is around 3,500 to 4,000. He describes the energy as dynamic, with intimate moments and crescendo moments, and confirms meet and greets every day. The interview covers audience participation and charity: bras tossed on stage have become a recurring sight, and Gravy plans to donate all the bras; based on comments, the value per bra is about $50, yielding roughly a thousand dollars for breast cancer. The conversation also touches on general touring life, including security and the occasional wild moments. Music creation and sampling are explained: Gravy prefers sampling older music and then replaying with his own instruments to reduce legal risk. He describes Beethoven-inspired moments and the Marvelous intro, and notes that clearance becomes easier after signing with a label, though he still often recreates samples when possible. He mentions collaborators and potential future projects, including Michael Bublé, Morgan Wallen, Hardy, Ernest, and even older legends like Shania Twain or Whitney Houston, plus a possible collaboration with 50 Cent and T-Pain. He emphasizes the value of staying in touch with artists and keeping doors open. The chat closes with reflections on family, his father’s death at sixteen, Montana and college days, a pizza cart business, and the moment his face was finally revealed after a fan recognized him. Gravy expresses gratitude for the audience and looks forward to future shows and collaborations, ending on a note of mutual respect and excitement.

Every person over 50 faces a risk of osteopenia, with bone mass loss accelerating after this age. Osteopenia can lead to osteoporosis, increasing mortality risk, particularly from complications like pneumonia following a fracture. The most effective way to strengthen bones is through muscle strengthening, particularly weightlifting, which has been shown to be far superior to supplements or medications. Nutrient deficiencies contribute to bone mass loss, but the decline is often due to years of inactivity rather than age alone. Strength training sends signals to the body to strengthen bones, similar to how muscles adapt to stress. Calcium and vitamin D can help if there are deficiencies, but excessive calcium intake can lead to health issues, including heart disease. Astronauts, who experience bone density loss in space, must exercise regularly to maintain bone health. While running may improve lower body bone strength, it does not strengthen upper body bones as effectively as weightlifting. Long-term strength training can lead to significant bone density retention, even into older age. For example, older weightlifters can have bone density comparable to much younger individuals. The body adapts to stress, and microfractures in bones can lead to increased density over time, similar to how plants can be strengthened through stress training techniques. The decline in muscle strength among the elderly correlates with bone weakening, and many elderly individuals face mortality risks from falls. Strength training can significantly reduce cancer risk and improve balance, which is crucial for preventing falls. Balance issues often stem from muscle weakness, and strength training can help maintain proprioception and stability. A personal anecdote highlights the rapid decline in health following inactivity, emphasizing the importance of maintaining strength and activity levels. The average grip strength of college-aged males has decreased significantly over the decades, indicating a broader issue of declining physical strength and health. The conversation shifts to the importance of physical activity in daily life, noting that modern conveniences contribute to decreased activity levels. The hosts predict that awareness of these issues will grow, especially as pharmaceutical solutions emerge. Historically, men faced less risk of osteopenia due to more physically demanding lifestyles, but this has changed. The hosts discuss the ineffectiveness of certain medications for bone loss compared to strength training. They also touch on the importance of understanding the body's needs and the potential for over-reliance on supplements. The conversation then shifts to personal health discussions, including the effectiveness of different cold medications and the importance of understanding their ingredients. The hosts conclude with a discussion about family history and personal anecdotes, emphasizing the importance of understanding one's roots and how they shape identity. They also touch on the evolution of societal norms and the glamorization of certain lifestyles, particularly in relation to historical figures and the impact of media on perceptions of health and fitness.

Theo Von hosts Trevor Wallace in a lively chat that blends stand-up, online clips, and personal anecdotes. Theo introduces Trevor as California-born, energetic comedian behind the Are You That Guy tour and viral videos on Instagram and TikTok, praising his outgoing style and crowd connection. Trevor recounts travel chaos for his Nashville run, noting flight cancellations and the unpredictable timing of weather, while joking about snow and the rough conditions. They riff about bodyboarding in Santa Monica, the ocean, and misnaming seas, weaving in goofy bits about geography and pop culture as they go. The conversation veers into cross-cultural moments: meeting people from Bahrain at the airport, joking around what to ask without being insulting, and mixing up country names with jokes about Joe Biden and Christmas lore. They reminisce about old-school etiquette and slap-stick stories, including a girlfriend’s grandmother slapping Trevor and the wild vibes of prom night, alcohol-fueled misadventures, and the chain-link fence moment Trevor once endured while chasing a date, which leads into playful reminiscences about high school crushes and awkward flirtations, including a mushroom-fueled moment that ended with a bandaged hand. The talk broadens to pop culture anchors: music video mashups, collaborative vibes, and the early days of memes. They touch on the era of country-rapper crossovers and the first teenage dances when songs like Goodies hit school gym floors. They reflect on growing up, the quirks of adolescence, and the dynamics of crushes and awkward social rituals. They also discuss the reality of show business: Trevor’s acting experiences, audition stories, near-misses with Chris Pratt, and memories of meeting Simon Rex at a Red Rocket premiere. They talk about the thrill of meeting admired peers, the grind of long shoots, and the balance of creativity with logistics on film and TV. Trevor explains the difference between filming videos and working on a set: a handful of crew, quick turns, snacks, and the challenge of staying in character; he emphasizes collaboration with friends, direct-to-fan releases, and live performance as core to his approach. He confirms the Are You That Guy tour runs across the U.S., with stops in New Orleans, Saint Louis, Portland, Seattle, Ohio, Florida, and beyond, and explains the origin of the tour name as a reflection of the frequent question, Are you that guy? They discuss the creative process, burnout, and pacing. They consider the pressure to post, the value of taking time off, and the need to feel like oneself rather than chase numbers. They close with gratitude for friends and supporters, a tease of future projects, and a sense of excitement for what comes next. Both laugh, hopeful about tomorrow.

Jim Jefferies, a stand‑up comedian, actor, and podcaster, sits down with Theo Von to discuss life, fame, and his new Netflix special, Two Limb Policy. The host notes Jefferies’ family life and recent changes, including becoming a father and dealing with personal health topics, while Jefferies jokes about sobriety. He says, 'I haven't had a drink in close to 5 years,' though he still uses weed and does not claim total abstinence. He recalls drinking at home during COVID and the slip that followed, describing how sobriety has evolved: 'Fully Functional' was a past special about sobriety, but later material showed a different path. He cautions that publicly declaring sobriety can backfire: 'you put a big flag in the ground and you say I'm a non-drinker, and then you let everyone down when you slip up.' The conversation pivots to a family tragedy that anchors the episode: Jefferies’ nephew, Lieutenant Max Nent, died in a helicopter crash during a military exercise near the Great Barrier Reef. He explains that the helicopter crashed in formation with three others, killing everyone instantly, and that Australia faced a lengthy inquiry. Testimony described defective helmets and even suggested potential 'industrial manslaughter'; the inquiry lasted nearly two years and ended with 'pilot error' as the finding and limited options for redress—'five days to sue' before rights expire. Max, 23, had pursued his dream of becoming a helicopter pilot, and his last act was a thumbs‑up before lift-off. Jefferies emphasizes the desire to keep Max from being forgotten and offers a photo for the desk. Jefferies and Von turn to Australian culture and comedy, praising talent and the cross‑pollination of voices. They celebrate Chris Lily, calling him 'the greatest Australian entertainer' with a toolbox of characters from Summer Heights High and Mr. G, and recall a lunch in Byron Bay. They discuss Lily’s skill in portraying multiple characters, including Jonah from Tonga, and the debates his work has sparked within communities. The chat touches on Lily’s seeming cancellation for the wrong reasons, the power of humor to unite audiences, and how Australian comedy has influenced global audiences. They also joke about the meet‑and‑greets policy: the two‑limb policy for disabled fans, and the realities of fame. Politics, war, and global affairs thread through the episode. They touch Israel‑Palestine tensions and recognize Palestine as a state, reflecting on Western alliances and macroeconomic pushes like tariffs. Jefferies questions the logic behind some economic moves, including Saudi Arabia hosting edgy comedians, arguing that free speech can matter even when regimes differ; they discuss Trump’s role and the possibility that tariffs could reshape policy. They also consider surveillance and privacy in a world of evolving technology, and speculate about future conflicts—perhaps aliens or other undisclosed threats—lurking on the horizon, alongside released UFO footage and Area 51 rumors that feed curiosity about the unknown. Toward the end, they celebrate culture, sport, and travel as pillars of modern life. They commend Australian athletes succeeding abroad—NBA players and punters—and note Australia’s broad talent in music, film, and comedy. They discuss passport ownership and mobility, citing: 'As of late 2024, approximately 51% of Americans have a valid passport' and contrasting stats for the UK and Australia. They compare pub culture in Britain to American scenes, muse about the global reach of stand‑up, and reflect on how humor can bridge cultural gaps. The chat ends with optimism about future projects and the enduring bonds of friendship and family.

Theo Von announces upcoming tour dates: Savannah, Georgia, June 2; Augusta, Georgia, June 3; Montgomery, Alabama, June 4; Columbus, Georgia, June 5. In Florida, shows in Hollywood, Fort Myers, Daytona Beach, and Lakeland from June 23 through June 26. Today's guest is Giannis Pappas, a New York comedian making his first appearance. He has a YouTube special called “Mom Love” and a podcast called “Long Days.” The chat opens with a playful bit about little triangle sandwiches at parties, “air damage,” and meat-and-cheese platters, setting a loose vibe. Theo welcomes Giannis, noting they’ve just met. Giannis explains he’s from Brooklyn, a Greek American, born in America with Greek heritage. He jokes about being misread as coming from elsewhere, and discusses identity, language, and perception. He mentions his mother had to obtain papers to stay in the country, and shares that his mother came from Greece after World War II; his father was born in Brooklyn, with grandparents born “over there in the old world.” He jokes about the immigrant name and about recent Americans, and touches on Greek identity and stereotypes. He also recalls a tale about private schooling and family finances, and jokes about a supposed “Pontiac Indian” heritage, prompting reflections on culture and humor. Giannis then dives into his career: he started stand-up in 2000 in New York, grew up there, and in 2001 was shot in a confrontation. He says, “I got shot early on,” and describes the bullet lodging in his buttock, later removed years afterward. He recounts the intense pain, the adrenaline fade, and the PTSD that followed, including panic attacks on trains. He left comedy for a while to do social work, including nine-eleven disaster relief. Donald Rawlings helped pull him back into comedy, taking him to Marion Square on the Upper East Side, and Giannis later joined road work with Chappelle Show alumni. He mentions early viral YouTube characters, Montreal’s New Faces, and the sense that success was visible to others before he fully felt it himself. He remembers a Johnny Depp sighting at the Comedy Store and the awkwardness of meeting celebrities. Two career strands surface: the “History Hyenas” era with Chris; the eventual end “on a high note.” Giannis reflects on the two-man dynamic, the thrill of creating something bigger than himself, and the value of collaboration. He shares the personal evolution that came with trauma, including therapy, vulnerability, and the ability to cry in front of a man. He describes marriage to a Greek wife, fear of commitment that nearly derailed a proposal, and how a friend named Paul Virzi helped him navigate the process. Therapy is praised as transformative; he emphasizes that family and purpose shape his work, and he speaks candidly about mortality, recognizing life’s fragility and choosing to prioritize meaningful connections. The talk broadens to philosophy: reality as co-created, freedom’s paradox with unity, and humor’s role in society. Giannis recalls a Quaker school and his near-miss with becoming a Quaker, describing silent meetings and a wedding held in quiet contemplation. They riff on elephants’ rights, current news items like the Dave Chappelle incident and the New York zoo elephant case, and a meditation on humanity’s place in nature. Ads punctuate the chat: Bridge Credit Solutions, Truebill, Blue Chew, and BetterHelp, with Giannis noting his experiences and promoting his work. The episode closes with gratitude and a plug for “Mom Love” and Giannis’s broader body of work, including his stand-up and two-man collaborations.

Theo Von hosts a birthday episode filled with riffs, personal stories, and hotline calls. He plugs Gray Block Pizza and Star Flo, describing Star Flo as a safe, data‑respecting platform that aggregates celebrity content and keeps information from the black market. The tone blends promotional chatter with a stream‑of‑consciousness reflection on creativity, sensation, and living honestly. Theo announces he is 38 years old, thanks his parents and a long lineage, and recalls growing up in a world where a single feeling could anchor a life. He uses a bathwater metaphor to describe wasting time in negative emotions and explains that he now seeks sensations that feel good.

Tom Segura joins Theo Von on This Past Weekend for a wide‑range chat about comedy, fans, and life on the road. They open with fan interaction, praising listeners who send song submissions that sound like real music, and Photoshop memes that crack people up. Gifts from fans range from hats and candles to more unusual items, including a six by four foot bat carved with Segura’s name and a bronze bust that looked more like a “black me” than him. He explains how he handles big presents: if it won’t fit in the trailer, he ships it; if it’s small, he keeps it or regifts it. The conversation shifts to language and identity. Segura jokes about his partial Spanish, his dream of touring Spanish‑speaking countries, and his nerves performing on a Spanish show in LA. He recalls that audiences who are native speakers can give you grace, and he contemplates a future Spanish tour. He riffs about the idea of being an American doing Spanish comedy and the reactions he imagines from crowds. They move into life stories and ancestry. Segura describes discovering a genealogical line back to 1730, including Francisco Segura and early settlers. The talk touches on Louisiana, Mississippi, and the ways people imagine different cultures. He argues that white fans often romanticize parts of Black culture while underestimating real systemic racism, but he also reflects on the desire to understand and experience other communities. The show shifts to childhood curiosity and medical memories. Segura recounts watching 13 surgeries in one day as a teen, including a cyst removal performed while the patient was awake. A doctor warns him not to comment, and the memory leaves a lasting impression. He then tells stories from his family’s pizza parlor, BJ’s, where a fast, meth‑driven coworker and a soggy middle of the crust contrasted with good edges. He jokes about crust preference and about Brendan Schaub’s reputation as a deep‑dish hunter. Career turning points come next. He explains that Netflix specials didn’t transform his career the way live shows and podcasts did. The rise of his audience came from performing, posting, and creating, not from a single special. He describes a documentary project about a controversial figure, interviewing him, and turning the encounter into content that culminated in merch and cash for the subject’s mother. The talk returns to relationships and personal choices. Segura shares how he met Christina and how he knew she might be “the one.” He discusses commitment, dating, and his thoughts about having children, including the fear of becoming trapped versus the desire for family. They compare notes with other comics, noting different paths and personalities. Branding, sponsorships, and food come up too. They reference DoorDash promos and Hair Club, joke about fast‑food loyalties, and debate McDonald’s versus Burger King. Segura recalls past sponsorships and how a brand’s fit can change over time. The episode ends with a reflection on what motivates him creatively—new material, the energy of a crowd, and the evolving role of podcasting as a creative outlet—and gratitude to listeners for their questions and support.

Dax Shepard and Monica Padman welcome Seth Meyers, a comedian and host of "Late Night with Seth Meyers." They discuss various topics, including the evolution of podcasts, the challenges of being a guest on shows, and the nuances of celebrity interactions. Seth shares a memorable experience of meeting Shimon Peres in Israel, where he humorously recounts discovering that his Wikipedia page was open on Peres's computer during their meeting. The conversation shifts to family and heritage, with both Dax and Seth expressing their ambivalence towards tracing their ancestry on shows like "Finding Your Roots." They discuss the emotional weight of discovering family history and how it can feel disconnected from their own identities. Seth shares a humorous anecdote about his experience on the show, where he was surprised by the revelation of a family member's suicide, contrasting it with a more mundane discovery about a grandparent's school play. They also touch on the pressures of being in the public eye, discussing how their status can lead to misunderstandings with fans. Seth reflects on the challenges of maintaining a sense of self amidst fame, while Dax shares his own experiences with public perception.

They discuss the complexities of swearing around kids and the different approaches to parenting they each take. The episode also features a humorous exploration of fast food chains, comparing Burger King and McDonald's, and the cultural significance of their offerings. They share anecdotes about their experiences with food and the nostalgia associated with certain dishes, particularly in relation to their childhoods. Overall, the conversation is a blend of humor, personal anecdotes, and reflections on fame, family, and the intricacies of modern life, all delivered in a light-hearted and engaging manner.

The episode gathers a mosaic of wild, real-life stories told with humor and a dash of horror, painting a portrait of everyday chaos, misadventure, and resilience. It opens with an Armchair Anonymous moment: a New Hampshire family’s routine drive home becomes a cautionary tale about hydration, coffee, and the moment a seemingly ordinary water bottle harbors something utterly unexpected. The tale spirals from a parched morning commute to a dead mouse inside a stainless steel bottle, a discovery that compounds a day of professional duties in a healthcare setting and culminates in a dramatic, comic reveal that renews the hosts’ commitment to practical hygiene reminders. The throughline is the blend of mundane life with moments that demand improvisation and quick shifts in perspective, often ending in laughter, relief, and a new respect for everyday risks we overlook. Next comes a series of deeply human, twisty family narratives. A listener uncovers a shocking ancestral mystery: DNA matches reveal half-siblings, long-buried secrets, and a web of possible fathers that reframes identity and kinship. The conversation balances empathy and awe as the storyteller reframes lineage not as fault but as a testament to the people who raised them and the networks of relatives who shape who we become. The episode uses these revelations to explore questions of belonging, accountability, and the ways modern technology can illuminate yet complicate family history. A separate wedding story offers a lighter, but equally revealing, look at commitment under pressure, linking cultural expectations with personal mischief and the unpredictable turns a big day can take when two people finally decide to take a moment for themselves. The blend across segments—absurd accidents, intimate revelations, and humorous misadventure—creates a rhythm that makes listeners feel the intimacy of sharing a moment that’s as funny as it is human, and as surprising as it is relatable. Finally, the show traverses the medical frontier with vivid, sometimes gory, firsthand accounts. A nurse practitioner recounts a startling scene involving a Barbie doll retrieved from a patient, a reminder that some medical calls demand both clinical skill and a thick skin. An EMT describes encounters with necrotic tissue that feel almost otherworldly, while an emergency physician walks through the delicate, sometimes comic, process of foreign objects in unlikely places. The hosts’ reactions range from stunned silence to contagious laughter, underscoring how healthcare workers balance professionalism with the absurdities they witness. Across anecdotes that span from the eerie to the ridiculous, the episode stays anchored in human connection, curiosity, and the resilience that comes from facing the unthinkable with candor and humor.

In this episode of Armchair Expert, Dax Shepard and Valerie Fridland, a linguist and author of "Like, Literally, Dude: Arguing for the Good in Bad English," discuss the intricate relationship between language and society. Valerie shares insights on various words, including the controversial term "moist," which has evolved from a neutral descriptor of freshness to one associated with discomfort for many, particularly women. She explains that the word's negative connotations stem from its historical usage in describing unpleasant things, such as wounds. The conversation also touches on sound symbolism, where certain sounds evoke specific feelings or associations. For instance, words like "moist" contain sounds that are often linked to melancholy. Valerie highlights how language evolves and how societal forces shape our perceptions of words, emphasizing that language is not static but rather a living entity that reflects cultural changes. Dax and Valerie explore the usage of "like" as a versatile discourse marker, which serves various functions in conversation, such as signaling approximation or inviting inference. Valerie argues that the overuse of "like" and other discourse markers can be misunderstood as a lack of confidence, particularly in women, who often use these markers to foster connection and clarity in communication. They also discuss the evolution of words like "literally," which has undergone semantic bleaching, losing its original meaning of "exactly" to become an intensifier. Valerie explains that this phenomenon is common in language, where words shift in meaning over time due to cultural and social influences. The episode delves into the complexities of African-American Vernacular English (AAVE), highlighting its legitimacy as a distinct linguistic system with deep historical roots. Valerie emphasizes the importance of recognizing and respecting all forms of communication, arguing against the prescriptive view that deems certain dialects as inferior. Throughout the conversation, Dax and Valerie share personal anecdotes and reflections on their experiences with language, accent, and identity. Valerie recounts her upbringing in a multicultural household, which shaped her understanding of language diversity. The discussion concludes with a celebration of the richness of language and its power to convey not just information but also social identity and emotional nuance.
