New York Circus | This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von #614

Okay. Happy October. That's where we are today. Good to be here with you here
in the fall.
We are pretty much into the fall now. As the calendar, you start to fall off
the end of
the year. And then just bam, you just land right there in Santa's arms over
there around
December 25th, baby. That's where we at. I got some new glass. I did get some
new
glasses, I guess. They're new to me. I don't know. I'm sure they weren't used
or whatever.
They're B plus, I guess, my thing. My vision is B plus or some B12. What is it?
I don't
know. They're pretty good, I guess. It helps me read. I didn't know I needed
glasses, you
know? And then I guess I don't know if I was in like a dark restaurant or
whatever. Next
thing you know, I'm at the eye shop and I got these bitches, baby. And so I'm
enjoying
them, I think. I will say this. I don't know. I can't. Some people I can't see
anymore. So
it's kind of, I'm not saying these things are making racial choices for me, but
they're
definitely, these things don't want to get a good look at everybody, you know?
So I may
have to mail them back. I'm not sure. But I'm running on about an eight foot
radius or
whatever, 12 foot radius maybe in these. So if you want, you know, get close if
you need
me, you know? But yeah, because I fucking, dude, I was, my short sight was
getting kind
of rocky. You know, I'd go in for a hug and I'd miss that bitch. I'd be like,
damn, you'd
go in to hug somebody and hug the wrong person. You're like, who's that? You
know, that's
somebody's damn husband or something. You know, you don't even, you know, you
go in to
hug a decent woman and you end up over there, you know, and you just up near
some man's neck
or something. It just, so I think getting your visual is important. And so that's
kind of
what I'm, I guess, doing. I got to get, yeah, I think these bitches are B or B
plus. I don't
know what I got to, I got to look at the package or whatever. I got these
bitches online. They
came to just wrote the size of them on the back or something. I think it was
like 38, 42
or something. I don't know. I got to look and see. I got a fucking kind of a
big head.
But, um, what else? Thank you guys for being here. Uh, the circus is coming to
town. I just
saw that. I don't know if there's any circus lovers, but the circus is back.
You know, and
when I was a child, the circus was a big thing. You know, you had a couple of
times throughout
the year, you'd get this little ticket at school and it'd say on its circus at
the top.
And it'd say like Willie's circus, you know, a risky ricks circus, you know?
And it would
say like, admit one just on this ticket. You could get it anywhere. So they
were just giving
out free tickets, you know? And it would be like this petting zoo fucking rocks.
It would
say, or something like that on the back or where petting zoos go to fuck. It
would say
shit like you're like, that's, that's a lot. Um, but it was a big deal back
then when a circus
came. Cause you'd see them setting up in that big top, that tent and they wheel
all animals
in there. And some of the animals they'd been through a lot, they'd look like
they'd maybe
just gotten back from war or something, war two or something. You know, they,
some of them
missing an ear, missing ear, you know, have a fake ear. You know, they'd have
an elephant,
but then one of his ears, they'd have just two, you know, they'd put a damn potted
plant
into the hole over there. And if you have a damn elephant ear plant growing out
of the
side, you know, it was, and they'd paint that bitch gray over there. You'd see
a guy on
a ladder just painting that elephant, you know, just painting a big plant ear
gray, just trying
to line it all up. And they'd put a big bow tie on him, call him big ginger or
whatever.
Spray paint red hair on his back there. You know, it was just, you know, you,
you'd see a giraffe,
but that bitch had a short neck on him. You're like, God, you'd see a damn
giraffe. He was four
foot four and that bitch was just, you know, pissed too. Pissed. It almost
looked like if you tickled
him the right way, his neck would just, just, you know, get to the right size.
You know, he's just
like that wide neck. Remember that fellow wide neck that was running around? He
was, um, kind of an
African-American, like running back that only played drugs or whatever. Like,
you know what I'm saying?
He didn't have a sport and that was the circus. And it meant something. You
were excited about it
and you'd talk about it at school and you'd go over there.
And I just saw the flyer that I knew when it was, it was, it was called the
circus. It's like a,
it kind of had looked like a, like a Cirque de Sole Cirque, like a Cirque de
Sole Circus kind of
you know, uh, it just looked like a, um, like a rave for children kind of, you
know, they had a couple
damn drones out there, you know, Palantir just shooting popcorn in the kids'
mouths and stuff.
Just, you know, it had a different sort of etiquette to it.
And I don't even know if they had any animals. They had a couple of kind of
gender neutral dudes
just kind of whistling in each other's mouths type of deal. You know, they had
a blind fellow
just kind of just singing Fred again, lyrics and stuff. It's just gotten very,
uh, progressive.
It feels like the circus, you know, they used to have real animals. You'd go
out there,
you'd see a couple of monkeys out there and you're over there and one of them
be smoking for you.
And they, you know, you pay, get you 50 cents over there. Go visit that smock
and monkey. See if
you'll ash on your mama's back, you know, or something. And they had long arms,
they'd ash on a,
ash in a baby carriage or something like that. It was, you know, it was more
involved. They let the
animals live a little, you know, and they, they used to have real lions too.
They'd have, you know,
they had back, back then they had real lions. Now you got a couple, you got a
couple of hardy women over
there wearing Aiden Hutchinson jerseys, you know, and just complaining that
their breasts are too big.
Now they got a, uh, gluten-free concession stand. Just a, you know, uh, peanut
allergies. They got that.
So it's, you know, back in the day, they had a dude, you would find a dude at
the circus with a peanut
allergy. They would find that dude. They would give them a couple handfuls of
peanuts and then send that
bitch running through a ring of fire, baby. While people in the crowd saying,
for those about to rock.
Now it's just, they find a dude with a peanut allergy, right? They put him in a
hazmat suit.
They have him run and jump through a ring of, uh, peanuts into his two mother's
arms.
So it's, I'm just saying, yeah, it's just a different time, man. It's just a
different time.
And that's what time does. It keeps making things different, doesn't it?
Man, time does not like to wear the same outfit, baby. That's the truth.
Time likes to, uh,
time likes every minute, just freshly ironed, baby, right out the package.
Time is just, you know, it's just, it likes to feel brand new, baby, but God,
that circus was fun.
You go over there. And sometimes some of the, the, the circus workers, they
just set themselves on fire
and just collect damn workman's comp right there, right in front of you. Fuck.
People would cheer and just damn, just, you know, God and just pray.
So yeah, it was just a different time, man. Um, that's the circus. That's the
circus. It's back.
Um, and we had a circus, we had a circus last week in New York in, uh, New York
city.
And I want to talk about that. I want to, uh,
I want to just go through it. Cause there's like a lot of stuff out there,
speculation and all of that.
And I want to just get super clear on it. Right. Cause I think a lot of people,
um, don't know
like what went on and it wasn't that crazy what went on. And I wish it was
going to be a more exciting
story, but I just want to, uh, yeah, I just want to share with you kind of what
happened, I guess.
Um, and I don't want to make it a big deal, but I think I, but I do want to
like, just kind of go into it.
Right. Um, you know, so mental health is important to me, right? It's important
to me.
We talk about that kind of stuff on here a lot and hold on.
And yeah, it's like, it's a, I think it's been something that we talk about a
great deal
and just think about and kind of explore. Right.
So, so I had a comedy special that we were taping. We were taping it last week.
And about a, and about a month before I started, I quit taking, uh, some antidepressants
I was taking,
you know, I just kind of self wean myself off. And the reason why was because I
wanted like during
the comedy show, I wanted to have a little bit more emotion during it. I wanted
to have this kind
of like, I just wanted to have some more feelings, you know, if, um, if you
ever taken antidepressants or if you
haven't, uh, they, it kind of takes away your feelings kind of, you know, uh,
so you just kind of stay in this
space where you're okay. And it's nice. It's a safe space, but you don't, uh,
you're like the astronaut that kind of
stays on the ship sometimes and you get to do the thumbs up and shit. But other
dudes are like,
you know, they're people, other people are out there. Um, anyway, so I quit
taking my medication
because I wanted to have a little bit more feelings during the show. I wanted
to be able to talk about
stuff a little bit more that meant something to me and put it into the comedy
show. So that,
that was all going fine, right? I was doing fine with that. We're headed into
the comedy show. And then
the, the Charlie Kirk thing happened, right? The Charlie Kirk murder happened,
which is really crazy.
You know, it was just a crazy thing. Uh, I've talked about it before. I'm not
going to talk about it anymore
right now. Um, but a few days after that, or maybe a week after that,
they're the department of Homeland security put a video up online talking about,
uh,
they started making like trap beat edits and like banger edits to evicting
people from the country,
right? Or eliminating, um, illegal illegals, maybe some criminals, some people
just undocumented all,
you know, just across the spectrum. Right? So they put a video of mine that I'd
made for somebody in a
parking lot, probably like maybe a year and a half ago, just jokingly. They put,
I think it was a year
and a half ago. They put it in at the front of this department of Homeland
security, like trap beat.
I think they had like, I'm not sure if they had like young boilers or whatever
they had,
but it was, uh, it was kind of, it was ridiculous. And the video was a girl had
walked up to me in a
parking lot and she had said, Hey, my friend just got deported. What do you
have to say?
Do you, or do you have a message? I can't remember what it was. And I was just
like, bye, you know?
And I didn't know if it was real or not. I had no idea. I was just joking
around. It's a stranger
came up to me in a parking lot. I think it was after a show and there were some
people gathered around
him. We were just kind of like, um, BS and, and taking, uh, pictures and just
kind of, uh, associate,
right? So anyway, long story short, that happens. So this video goes mega viral,
25 million, 30
million views. It's everywhere. And the front of the D of that Homeland
security video, it's on the
white house thing. It's on everything. It's, it's everywhere. And the first 10
seconds of it are me,
right? Like, I don't have anything to do with this shit. Nobody asked me about
it. Um,
you know, like nobody said, Hey, this is going to have like, and, and I have a
lot of different
thoughts about immigration, right? They're like showing people getting arrested.
Like, it's just
an intense thing. Like, and why is the government even making these? I don't
know. I, but that's where
we're at in the world. And, and I have a lot of thoughts about immigration,
right? I have a ton
of them and we don't need to go into a mall right now. I've talked about them
on other episod
