This past follow-up brought to you by Gray Block Pizza. G-R-E-Y. Block Pizza. In Los Angeles. Pico Boulevard. Over by the beach. Get your life. Get your pie.
Alright. Let's do something here.
Alright. It's Thursday.
Okay.
Ooh, that's that dirty beat right there.
Man, that sound like somebody trying to...
Trying to fuck on a space shuttle, doesn't it?
That sound like somebody trying to finger bang you right off the coast of Mars, baby.
Right off the coast of Pluto.
That's Jesse Lucero sending some beautiful music.
That's Jesse Lucero.
That's Jesse Lucero sending some beautiful music.
That's Jesse Lucero.
And I don't, I've never met Jesse Lucero, but they dropped me some beautiful music.
And that's Jesse Lucero.
That could be a man or a woman.
And that could be Spanish, Lucero.
I don't even know what Lucero means. It's probably when you catch, when you catch, when you catch an animal with a rope
and then it
when it gets free
it's lucero
donde es el gato
oh
yo lo siento
el gato es lucero
and that's when you lose the cat
but it's Thursday man
it's Thursday evening
Thursday afternoon here
on the West Coast.
I got to go to a wedding in a few minutes.
Somebody, a friend of mine, I guess I call him a friend at this point,
is having a wedding Thursday afternoon, 5.30 p.m. in Malibu, right?
Dude, you know how hard it is to get to Malibu?
There's one way in, one way out, the PCH.
It's going to be miserable.
This is a way to lose friends.
When you have a wedding like that,
you know what I'm saying? That's like saying,
I'm going to have a wedding.
I'm going to have a wedding.
I'm going to have it on the top of this mountain
so you got to hike up there. It's a two-day hike.
You're not going to have any
friends, dude. Your parents
ain't going to make it up there.
Some of this wedding shit, man.
Somebody invited me to a wedding in Africa.
What the fuck, dude?
You think Africa, bro?
You know what I'm saying?
Like I got 10 days just to get over to Africa and enjoy myself.
He's like, well, just come for a day.
I'm not going to Africa for a day. Who goes
to Africa? Africa, dude, the cradle of civilization. I'm just going to stop by for a couple hours.
Are you out of your fucking brain? Have somebody cracked in your brain and taken out the good parts
and he's gonna i can already tell he's gonna get upset when i don't come i can already tell
that's crazy that's like saying hey let me have both your arms let me have both your arms and
somebody's like nah man i need my arms you know i'm trying to hug and I'm trying to go get the mail
and not have to open the mail with my
feet, you know. I'm trying to
do things.
What the fuck, bro? I don't know what's
going on anymore, you know. I really
don't sometimes when it's that kind of shit. But
anyhow, I'm happy to be here with you guys
on this Thursday evening, this Friday morning, whenever
you catch this vibe. I don't know when this is coming
out, but this is the this past follow-up.
And I had a call that came in.
I wanted to respond to this dude Brock's call.
We had a lot of callers that responded to Brock.
So if you don't know about Brock,
he called on the original podcast, you know.
Oh, and here's Brock's original call.
And this was on the podcast this past weekend.
Here's Brock's original call.
Let's get into that.
Here we go.
Hey, Theo.
It's Brock, University of Central Missouri.
So I got a question for you, how to handle something.
So I'm kind of short. I don't really got a lot of confidence in myself when I'm at the bars with other people
because I don't really know how to talk to a girl or do anything like that.
Okay, I'm going to interrupt you right there, Brock.
I appreciate your call just like I appreciated it on the Monday episode.
But I'm going to tell you this.
My grandfather grew two inches in his 50s.
So let me drop that into your fucking brain holes,
into your side holes, into your fucking sound spouts.
My grandfather grew two inches in his 50s.
You know, something happened to him.
Something in his plates and his, you know,
I don't know what happened, dude.
He played tectonic shift down in his genetics and putt out.
Next thing you know
achilles that was my grandfather's name achilles and that's true story my father's name was theodore achilles and he was suddenly two inches taller and apparently um he didn't get along with my
grandmother after that him and my grandmother they had issues after that. Him and my grandmother, they had issues after that.
And if that tells you anything, Brock,
that tells you that sometime showing up small at first
and maybe forever
can be to your benefit
because this was the love of his life.
You know, this was the love of his life.
And when he grew taller,
when he stretched out,
you know, when God hit him with that magic two spot in his fifties, then he wasn't in love anymore. So man, that's really,
when you think about that, that at that height and that size and whatever stature he was at,
that that's where love met him best. And then height became an affliction for him as he aged.
Height became an affliction for that man.
And somehow just the gravitational pull, the balance, the, you know, the vertica horizonticus,
whatever it was, that spell that meshed him in with this bride of his, this, you know,
my grandmother, it fell off.
And so, man, there was something, there was magic in being small.
But that was, let's finish up your call. Here you go.
So, yeah, man, I don't know, I don't know how to handle it, man.
I just get in my head. I don't know how to overcome that.
Seems like you could have some good advice on this one.
Let me know.
Thanks, man.
Bye.
And I'm going to get to some advice.
We had some callers that called in.
I'm going to jump into those.
But I'll tell you this, Brock.
We all have insecurities and things that make us feel less than.
At night, I'll be wearing a neck brace at night
because I want to stretch my neck out a little bit
because I've always thought I had a small neck.
You know, I've always thought I've been a little bit shy in the neck, you know.
And the neck really is just that fifth arm.
A neck is just that chubby fifth arm that's coming out the middle of your torso at the top, you know.
And people could say this or say that.
No, that's what it is, you know.
It's that fifth appendage.
It's that third arm. It's that, you know, it's that short upper leg. You know, that's what it is. You know, it's that fifth appendage. It's that third arm.
It's that, you know, it's that short upper leg. You know, that's all it is. It's that fifth
appendage. It's that magical fifth appendage, the neck. Now, unfortunately, the other appendages,
they don't hold much. You know, two of them have a hand, two of them have a foot, but that neck,
that's the one holding onto your head, man. That's the one running around with that crystal ball in
its grasp. And I've always wanted a better neck, a longer neck. holding onto your head, man. That's the one running around with that crystal ball in its grasp.
And I've always wanted a better neck, a longer neck.
And so you'll catch me sometime in the evening relaxing with a cool drink and a neck brace on.
You know, and that's so, you know, we all are short somewhere.
We're all short of something.
I want you to know that.
But let's get some calls that came in for Brock.
Here we go.
Here we go. Right we go right here.
Hey, Theo.
Hey, bro.
I love the podcast, man.
You're a bad motherfucker.
Hey, man, I'm calling from Tacoma, Washington.
Tacoma, Washington.
Go place a square dance and eat granola.
You'd be surprised.
Onward.
In regards to Brock from last week um i just
want to let him know that uh i'm also short and troll like wow that's that double when you come
in a little bit trollish you know and i've look i'll say for myself i've always looked like a
cross between tom brady and shrek and so i know I know I got a little bit of that magical, you know,
I got a little bit of those magical tree-loving and tree-living type of ogre qualities in me.
Onward.
But, hey, I wanted to encourage him, you know, in his pursuit,
and I wanted to see or to encourage him for taller women, you know,
opposite the track.
And, you know, if you had kids, had kids, they could get the height from her.
Wow, that's a really great point.
Opposites attract.
And then another follow-up point there that, yeah, don't feel that burden to carry the height onto a child.
Because you can also grasp that height from a woman, from the other.
So 50% of it's her responsibility when you know, when it comes to the genetics.
Onward.
You know, even better.
Who doesn't want big, strong kids, you know?
And, but a word of caution, just with taller women comes taller limbs.
You know, it's easier to get kicked in the head while doing sex.
Damn.
You know, just be careful.
There you go.
And there you go.
The taller limbs, that's dangerous, you know.
I mean, say you're trying to rescue a woman.
You know, if there's a fire and you're trying to rescue your lady,
it's easy to rescue a smaller lady.
Throw her on your back, you know.
Wrap her around your waist.
Tie her around your waist.
But you got a long drink of water, you know, you got to drag about arms. You got to get help. You know, you got to put
wheels. You got to put a skateboard under much tougher to rescue a longer woman, but those are
some good points. I appreciate that call. Uh, and those are words just for you, Brock there in
central Missouri, which is actually swinger country.
So you could meet a man or woman out there. But let's keep it going, Brock. We had a lot of good souls that called in, man. This stuff boosted my, this boosted, this made my day
today were these calls that came in the past few days. Here we go. Onward.
Hey, Theo. Hey, bro. I love the podcast, man. You're a bad motherfucker.
Oh, that's the same call. All right, here we go. Onward.
Yo, what up, Theo? This is Henrik from Los Angeles, and I was just listening to your boy, Barack.
Thanks for calling, Henrik. That's what, like, women say.
That's true.
I'm going to interrupt you there, Henrik.
I'm sorry.
But that's a good point.
You do hear that.
You know, it's this thing that gets put in our heads.
You know, we're always talking about the things that get put in women's heads.
You know, and some of these ladies got the dark arts wrapped up in their skull.
You know?
They got this just damn, you know. I mean, these ladies are, you know, they got
vanilla dreams in their head, but they out here watching snapped and watching murder
shows and being addicted to murder.
But anyhow, that's a great point that as men, you got to excuse me, I'm having a candy corn
right now.
Found one on my desk.
But as men, we are, we get overwhelmed with the idea that tall, dark, and handsome, you know?
Tall, dark, and handsome is always that motto, you know?
Oh, I want a man that's tall, dark, and handsome.
It's not a dude that's short and have some scoliosis, you know, with a mole, you know?
It's not a dude that only got nine fingers and likes to bicycle that's
not the motto you know it's not it's not uh you know short loud and splotchy that's not the motto
it's tall dark and handsome so that's an affliction that we're born trying to live up to and that's
artificial that's a really good point henrik let's take more. I was raised to like think until I
started just noticing that me just being myself and loving myself and saying you know well fuck it
it is what it is just living my life you know taking care of myself I was healthy have a nice
body and everything and started noticing that actually I'm pretty good at getting girls.
Girls are kind of coming up to me.
I'm always quiet, shy.
Somehow women would always come up to me.
They would actually initiate stuff or send their friends to tell me that their friend thinks I'm cute and stuff.
There you go.
There you go.
Sometimes being shy and quiet can be to your advantage. That's what Henrik's telling you right there, Brock, is that. And that's true. I mean, Henrik's coming in selling like that silent killer. You know, he stays off in the cut. He's silent, but then he's killing it when it comes to the ladies. He's that silent killer. Emphysema, I think, is what it usually is. Or strokes or something, whatever, that silent killer. They always say the silent killer, emphysema, whatever is killing a lot of seniors.
But that sometimes, you know, it's not always that outgoing, loud, boisterous dude, you know,
because I can be loud sometimes, you know, my default a lot of times when it's around women was to be loud. You know? Be goofy or be funny. Say something
jarring or spitting this girl's hair one time
and I feel bad about that still and that was in I think 6th grade.
But to do something like that. Some obtuse activity.
You know? Something big. Something loud.
But a lot of times women don't want that.
They want a peaceful man.
So if you're shy, I mean, another way to look at that is peaceful.
You know, so you're not just afflicting yourself
by accusing yourself of being shy, you know.
You might also just be at peace.
You might just be calm.
But if you're framing it as being shy to yourself,
then that's, then it's looked at by you or it's felt, it can be felt by you as a hindrance
or as a hurdle. You know, it's usually that quiet dude that got that fine little lady
on him. You know, it's just something you'll see a deaf do with a beautiful horse. And I remember that growing up.
They had a field near the edge of our, kind of the far end of our neighborhood.
And they had a deaf, I don't know if it was a boy or a man.
Sometimes the deaf can really, you know, you don't know where they're at on the calendar.
You know, on the big picture calendar age.
But I didn't know if it was a boy or a man, but he had a beautiful horse.
So you just, it's not always the loud one that catches that pretty pony.
Let's take another call here for you.
Here we go.
Hey, Theo.
Hope you're doing well, brother.
Wanted to talk about our boy from missouri who called in last week
give him a little advice i know he's a little insecure about his height and speaking to women
um b-rock man we're all different animals you know we walk different we talk different we smell
we smell different i had a saudi roommate in college he smelled like hookah and nut fog but
anyway the damn hookah and nut fog i don't, the... Damn, hookah and nut fog.
I don't even heard of nut fog.
Now, I used to share a room with a chow.
Not the dog, actually a Chinese boy.
And he, to me, he had a smell of kind of a smoky smell.
You know, something you would use to kind of spice up meats.
And that was exciting to be around him.
But after a while, even that gets kind of makes you ill a little.
Let's hear more, brother. Onward.
The truth is, man, any insecurities that you have about yourself, women have more, man.
It's like X plus one, you know.
Any inadequacies you feel, women feel those too, man.
And when you're talking to women, you're nervous.
They're just as nervous as you are, dude.
So get out there and get your hands dirty, man.
Wow, there you go.
Get your hands dirty.
You know?
And that's a good point, man.
Sometimes we forget.
Sometimes, dude, it's so crazy, Brock.
And, like, I'm glad you called and asked this question, Brock,
because it's got all of us thinking now.
You know, yeah, sometimes we are so,
it's almost a fault of our ego
in a weird way.
It's like we think we're the only ones
with a problem.
You know, it's like you go talk to,
you know,
talk to someone,
you know, say,
let's use your example.
You're approaching a girl,
you know,
and you're thinking to yourself,
man, dude, she doesn't like me or she thinks I'm less than or I'm not.
You don't even think about what she's thinking.
She might be thinking nobody's even talked to me this month.
Or maybe my skin isn't right or something about my weight or the way I carry myself.
And women are more prone to those things.
It seems like, I think in time and recently men have become more prone to those things, you know,
but, but historically women have been. So that's a good point, man. Like, you know,
and sometimes a good way to meet somebody is by taking something that you know is an insecurity of theirs that you would just guess
you know and say to them oh uh you know oh you have really pretty eyes you know say she wears
glasses say oh yeah i think you have really pretty eyes and say it real you know and be real about it
if you you know um and you don't have to lie to her you know but just think of something that
oh well that might be an insecurity for that person.
You know, they got big feet.
I like your feet.
You know, I like what you're standing on.
I like your pedestals.
You know, like I remember, you know, like I have a big nose.
This girl told me one time when I was young, she said, you got a nigga nose.
She used the N word.
You know, you got a nigga nose. This the n-word you know you got a nigga nose this
black girl would tell me that all the time you know like i got a nose like a black kid you know
and that was her perception and i got a wide nose you know i mean i got i might be slightly urban
you know i'm wide in the crotch as well so you know i mean game recognize game dude you know
when my nose sees my dick they recognize each you know, because I'm thick down there and thick up top.
You know, and that's nature. That's my nature.
But it made me feel insecure, you know, and sometimes still does make me feel insecure, man.
You know, I mean, I could do it. I could label 30 things about myself that I wish I could change.
Dude, I could label 30 things about myself that I wish I could change.
But sometimes I would notice if a girl said to me, would touch my nose and be like,
Oh, you have a cute nose.
Or something like that.
That just immediately it takes away whatever those insecurities are.
That can be a really great way to flirt with somebody.
Because everybody has them.
You know?
Everybody has them, man.
I just got a dang email.
If these fucking people don't fix this shit, I've asked him a million times, just pay the bill.
Oh, Christ.
But let's keep it on, man.
Great, great calls.
I appreciate this.
Let's hear some more.
Hey, this is Punk Ass from Baltimore.
Definitely agree with some of the advantages you said, wrestling, finding things on the ground, something you may have forgotten, fitting in places in general. I mean, I got a friend, drives a little car, he's six foot five,
every day looks like a stress just to go to work. Hey. And there you go. That's Punk Ass from Baltimore. And he's saying that every day is a stress to go to work for his friend who ended up
in a Mini Cooper or some type of small vehicle, you know? And that's true too. You know, you see a tall guy,
if you see a tall dude on a bicycle,
he always looks like he stole it.
You know?
Because it don't fit for him. It never
fits. If you're tall and
you're getting into some pants, dude,
it'll take you probably six extra seconds
to get into some pants.
You know? Because you've got to travel probably an extra three feet,
a foot and a half on each leg. So it's just, you know, because you got to travel probably an extra three feet, half, you know, a foot and a half on each leg.
So it's just, you know, there's advantages and disadvantages to everything.
Let's hear another one.
Here we go.
Hey, Theo, hope you're doing well, brother.
Oh, we already listened to that one.
All right, let's hear another one.
Here we go.
What's up, brother?
Calling from Colorado with some bikes for Brock.
Sounds like a young man, so I thought I could maybe help him out a little bit.
Thank you for the call. Onward.
Theo kind of mentioned, you know, we all have stuff, and he's true, right? Like, some dudes
are skinny, some dudes are fat, some dudes are poor, some dudes, you know, maybe they're
self-conscious about being rich, who knows? But the point is, is that everyone has some kind of
shit that they have to overcome before they can talk to somebody of the opposite sex.
So keep that in mind and just say, fuck it, man, and go for it.
And if you see somebody worth talking to, go and talk to them.
And the other thing to remember...
And that's a good point, is that everybody has a hurdle to overcome.
And let me say this to you, Brock, man, is that...
I don't know how old you are. I think you said you were young and you're in college there.
So you're young, you know, or you're young, you know, on a hundred year span, you're young, you know, you're in that 20 or, you know, a 20 year range or whatever.
So the things that are the most challenging to you now, I know you can't see it, dude, but I promise you will be the things that will be most rewarding to you in the future.
And if you don't have any challenges, you're going to be a piece of shit.
Odds are.
If you don't have any struggle, then you're not going to know struggle.
And if there's one thing, and I had a caller remind me of this recently.
I think it may have been on one of the episodes.
and I had a caller remind me of this recently.
I think it may have been on one of the episodes was that if I didn't have my life
and I didn't have my struggle
and I didn't have the things that I hated about myself
or the things that I have hated,
then I wouldn't be able to...
Then there's no journey.
Then there's no journey, dude.
You know?
And in the end, that's what it's about, man.
It's about your story.
You know?
What's your story?
You were a beautiful, perfect-looking kid.
You went to med school.
You know?
You married a girl.
You had two kids.
She's blonde hair.
You got two beautiful kids.
You know?
You get a golden retriever.
Y'all got some plants.
Y'all live in Boston in a brownstone. You got two beautiful kids. You get a golden retriever. Y'all got some plants. Y'all live in Boston
in a brownstone.
Her father
dies of Alzheimer's. The mother
comes and lives with you.
You take care of the mother, kind of,
but not really.
You guys go for weekends
in Maine and that's
your life?
Guess what, man?
I just could guess your life because that's your life? Guess what, man? I just could guess your life
because that's laid out.
That's the easy one.
No struggle.
There's no turns.
There's no turns if that's your life.
But that's not your life, dude.
You're blessed, bro.
You are blessed with some struggle.
And you're not going to recognize it now, you know, fully.
And I'm not trying to preach at you.
I just, I don't want your spirit to be sitting there hurting, man.
Because, you know, I've spent years, years of my life hurting for things that I didn't need to be hurting for.
for things that I didn't need to be hurting for just because I was unable to get,
to hear other people talk about it
and just to know I wasn't alone.
So, you know what I'm saying?
You're not going to be typical, man.
You're not typical, bro.
That's amazing.
I think that's amazing.
Let's take another caller here.
Here we go.
This may have been everyone.
Oh, we got, let's continue that call. I i'm sorry i interrupted there's a second part to that
is that it goes the exact same for women too you know if you're self-conscious about being short i
guarantee you that whoever you're going to go talk to is self-conscious about something but if you
are willing and able to go talk to them um that might make you feel good because then they'll say, oh, somebody's looking past my own insecurities.
So maybe this is a good dude.
So anyway, man, yeah, hope that helps.
That's a good point.
That's a great point, man.
And I appreciate that call from Colorado.
A lot of good people out there.
out there. And that brings up another thought to me is that if you make that effort
and here's what you hear. Sometimes I put the girls
on such a pedestal that I was unable to even approach them because I put them
in this realm where I couldn't, where no matter
what I said was automatically going to be wrong. No matter what they were already, you know, they were this
you know, they looked seven, you know, they looked seven
times better than they even looked, you know?
And the truth is that once you look at somebody for about three or four seconds and you're
not afraid to break eye contact with them and stuff, they get a lot more real.
So then you're not battling this image, you know, of whatever, you know, of women or of
this, but of a particular girl, you know, like then you're actually talking to a real person, you know, of women or of this, but of a particular girl, you know, like then
you're actually talking to a real person, you know, and sometimes I forgot that I was
talking even to a real person.
I got so insecure in my head about approaching women that sometimes I forgot.
I was like, oh, women, here's a girl.
It's a girl.
It's a girl.
It's a girl.
It wasn't even like, oh, here's a person.
Let's see if I even like them.
Let's see if they even like me.
even like, oh, here's a person. Let's see if I even like them. Let's see if they even like me.
I automatically had it pegged in my head that I wasn't a match for women that are, that I wasn't a match for a girl just because she was pretty. You know, I believe that about myself. I was like,
man, I'm not a match for this girl. She's pretty. What would, why would she like me?
But another way to look at this shit was, would I even like her? And half the time I realized that most women, I don't even have, I don't like them at all.
I respect them and I think they're good people.
But I don't have, but I'm just saying I don't have an attraction for them.
Even though in my head it was all about whether or not they had an attraction for me.
Anyhow, let's go on.
I think we got one more here.
Hey Theo, this is Nick from Las Vegas. I got a little bit of advice for that Brock guy. You bet, Nick. Thanks for the
call, brother. Onward. Who's a little worried about being short, got low confidence. Remember
a couple things, man. It's not about your height. It's not about your looks, about your attitude.
If you believe in yourself, you have good things to offer, you'll get ladies.
You'll have things to talk about.
You know, I hear a lot of people say that they're bored all the time, and I always remember this saying.
You're not bored.
You're boring.
Stop being boring.
Go out there.
Live an exciting life, and you'll find things to talk about with people.
You'll have interests and hobbies and whatnot,
and it'll come naturally.
Beyond that, maybe stop trying to meet ladies at bars.
Wow.
Boom.
That's a good point.
That's a good point.
And look, man, for years I was out there.
I was thinking that that's where I had to meet a lady.
That's a really great point.
I mean, that first point is great.
You know, the more circles you put yourself in, and I was talking to Joe Rogan the other day, man, I was having a tough
time and he's listening to me at the, at the improv and, you know, a good dude, man, you know,
to, you know, he's listening to me and he's saying, you got to stay busy. You know, you got to find
things to do. You can't wait for your life to just show up the way you want it to look. You need to be out
making your life. And he's right. And I remember a girl told me that one time with what our caller
just said. A girl told me I was at the UCLA Recreation Center. And she asked me what had
been going on. A girl that I thought was cute. She's like, what's been going on? I said, oh,
not much. You know, just I'm just bored. And she said, what's been going on? I said, oh, not much. I'm just bored.
And she said, well, if you're bored, you're boring. And that stuck with me because the truth was,
dude, I was boring. There wasn't anything special to my life. There was some things going on,
but there wasn't some things I was doing. And the more you do, the more people you meet.
And guess what? Some of the people are going to be girls. I don't care if it's painting.
I don't care if it's fucking juggling.
I don't care if it's, you know, stretching and yoga and trying to look up your own asshole.
More stuff you do, more people you're going to meet.
Because guess what?
Everybody likes to try and look up their ass at least once.
I don't care if they're man or woman.
Onward.
You know, if you go get into a yoga class, you might meet a lady there.
You start going to the library, checking out books, you might meet a lady or whatever you're into there.
Hey, if you can check out books, you can check out bitches.
Feel me?
Onward.
You know, get out and live life and stop going and sitting in front of a bartender every night.

You have three new voice messages.
A lot of people are talking about Kite Club.

So great.
Hi, sweetheart. else. So great. Hi, sweetheart.

Sorry, sir, but our ice cream machine is broken.
Oh, no!
I think Tom Hanks just butt-dialed me.
