    Theo on fame: "A part of you disappears that you didn't even realise was about to leave, and I didn't even get to write down everything that I knew about that guy." Fuck, what a damning assessment, Theo stay on that philosophical tip.
  • @abrahamwaian4110
    "if you can afford it, get a chef" Theo: "oh man .. can he make quesadillas and everything?"
  • @Yenzi769
    The way Theo allows his guests to open up and share their stories is truly beautiful.
  • I met Theo in Maui back in 2017. Me and my wife were at Lahaina walking the boardwalk and amazingly enough he was actually hanging by himself at the moment and I walked up introduced myself told him I was a fan and hopes he enjoys his trip and he said “ thanks daddy I appreciate yah “ . My wife had no clue who he was and thought he was a homosexual lol
  • @Getonmyratio
    Theo my husband was on your "Brotherly Love" episode a few years back. My husband named our son after you! Little Theo is doing amazing!!!
  • @1irmandy
    I saw Theo Von one time at my job and he was the sweetest dude ever. I was on my way to lunch and we took a picture and he even gave me $20 for lunch for no reason I was kind of embarrassed lol but it was very nice of him.
  • @Travvv94
    Notice how Izzy never spoke about his KOs but actually talked about Getting KO'd. Spoke well on Sean and DDP yet people still crying fake humble in the comments, cant please everyone.
  • @playinglife9198
    Izzy's commitment to constantly evolving as a man is what inspires me the most about him
  • @Sui_Generis0
    Izzy said he didnt wanna do interviews on other channels, so he must respect the podcast to be doing this
  • @drewdrewson1384
    please keep up the UFC fighter interviews Theo. They are always great
  • @FlexRodl63
    Izzy seems like a genuine and empathetic guy, love to see it
  • @JoeMACofNAC
    Theo is a pure soul and that's why he can vibe with anyone he interviews.
  • @cbmediapros
    Theo did amazing carrying/driving the conversation, Izzy has such a powerful presence and it felt equally proportioned in terms of dialog. Can’t wait for Izzy to retire to hear the stories =) but only after a few more iconic fights
  • @mpaulo6222
    I already was a huge fan of Izzy but now I’ve got even more love and respect for him. Dude is really a genuine nice guy. Much respect to the future hall of famer.
  • @traygibby8111
    This might be the most real podcast in a while. Just 2 entertaining guys shooting the shit
  • @JJOK1818-okthen
    The space Theo gives his guests to just let it all out is so beautiful 🤗 you’re amazing Theo ✨
  • @brandihillcom
    I didn’t want this guy to stop talking . His perspective on protecting his sanity and boundaries to preserve his art form is very relatable. I hope he comes on again.
  • @Kwigs_kun
    Theo has an incredible ability to relate to a person by talking about himself without making everything about him.
  • @sirelllingtob
    From ROGAN, to KATS, to TPW. Your ability to be genuinely you, has changed my outlook. Thank you Theo..
