We need more obscure career interviews! They are the best, and there are tons of more careers to explore
NYC garbage man was awesome
The Lunch lady was great too‼️☺️
I loved the plumber episode
I LOVE the NYC garbage man! I always wanted to do that job!!
The mortician had me dying! 😅
5 minutes in and Theo still working on "specifically what is a cat and how tall is it?" 😆
We talking felines?
hahahaaahaA!
47 minutes in still asking the same question 😂
He is getting cultured lol
45mins* hahahaha
No one has EVER caught Theo off guard as much as when she says "the rats are performing in night clubs"
I can't even imagine the restraint on Theos part when she said that. That's some top notch discipline
😂
That did not compute!
He even went back and asked a different way
“…that’s something that’s, important” got me good 😂 he so wanted to say “That sounds… InSANE”
The Rat King VS The Cat Queen
More like the rat king + the cat queen
🏆BEST COMMENT🏆
Thought that was Carol Baskins
Theo could interview a mime and I'd still watch 😂
Next guest?!
This is genius 😭 WE NEED TO BOOST THISSS
Great idea
A mime would be amazing
I'd still listen lol
Theo PRESSIN this woman to know how tall a cat is 😂😂😂
You don't talk like this in real life. Stop.
Chillllllllbruh
@@Chillllllbruhimagine being so self entitled you have any bearing on how people talk 😂
@@corleonedon77Wahhh. Mafia RPer lol
@@Chillllllbruh Good thing UA-cam isn't real life
Thank-you Theo for this beautiful interview, & I'll tell you why!
There's so much terrifying content out there from left to right, that it is such a wonderful relief to hear some unique goodness and kindness from this cat/rat lady trainer who has such a great love and respect for animal and human life! Thank-you once again from the bottom of my heart!
My central nervous system needed a break from the usual bad news you see in circulation 😍
This
Totally agree with you. thank you very much theo!! i love all his pods but im a big cat person, so this one might be my favorite. hearing him talk about cats so much made my whole week 😅 and samantha has a heart of pure gold and naturally emanates joy, lovely interview ❤
Yes, she is such a truly sweet lady!
You know you are on to something here
I second that. This really was such a breath of fresh air. A nice couple hour break from the normal chaos of life.
Only Theo could have on Dr Gabor Maté, followed by a cool cat lady 😂
That’s what life is and why I love Theo 🙌
And trump and Bernie lol
From feelings to felines!
That's why this is the best podcast out there
@@xCARTER141x Move over, Rogan.
Theo learning about the original rat king damn near brings a tear to my eye. This show is beautiful.
Rat King meets the Rat Queen!
Didnt peterson explain to him that in the past 😂
"They coined me the rat lady of Chicago" Theo: "Oh god, beautiful"
She's a good advo-cat. Dude i love this lady! Rat and cat lover gang gang
Love this!!
Long live Splinter!! 🐀
Theo saying “babygirl” is the equivalent to “Get in the car Elizabeth” for me 😂 39:18
he KNEW what he was doing 😭
YES. 100% 👏👏👏👏
Felt
Ugh yes
The balance is unprecedented to have Gabor mate and then Acro cats is awesome lineup. makes it so palatable so you can process the heavy eps then have fun with the light eps. Please get Theo and Emmy or whatever the big award is for this podcast. #1
"Chuck E Cheese was good PR for the rats" 🤣 I love it dude
39:30
The way Theo asks in all seriousness if cats are trustworthy at 1:04:39 had me dying
I knew it! The validation he got that day😂
And she says no!!!
damn theo really opens with a banger of "what is a cat?" thats why he gets the big bucks
And then doesn’t stop until we learn that the average cat is between 9.1 and 9.8” tall.
Only Theo can pull off going from soft spoken Dr. Gabor Maté to Chatty Acro Cats Lady with purple cat ears. Theo shines his light on so many stories.
Took me over an hour and this comment to spot the purple ears....
This lady casually exposing a fish based cocaine trafficking business was the best
What how did I miss that I'm going to have to try to find that
@@leighleigh747When she’s talking about starting working at the fish shop. She talks about the guy importing white stuff in the bottom of the polystyrene containers
It was priceless!
@@leighleigh747 Prob like 15 mins in. She was talking about how her boss was horrible, would get a deal on 100 snakes and only needs to sell 1 to profit. So the other 99 can die. Same with fish. And he was making money by smuggling cocaine in the base of the Styrofoam
This cat loves beer 🤣 theo: yea she's probly a single mother 🤣 🤣 🤣
LMAOOOO😂
He would know
@jpk9902 hell I felt that 🤣
Lmao!
This made me tear up. Felt so much familiarity with and appreciation for this woman. Love people who care about all animals this much and go out of their way to take care of them. Great representation for cat ladies and people who love animals everywhere!
I went and saw the acro-cats a few years ago! It was adorable and awesome! ❤
That’s cool
"Hard to breastfeed a man while you bottle feeing these animals" hahaha Love you Theo
It’s really cool to see someone be so passionate about something
“Patty got her menstrual cycle” 🤦🏼♀️🤣🤣
I missed that lol 😂
"I've got the heart of a large rat." 🤣🤣🤣
The heart of a lesbian
And that's pretty normal I think 😂
@@Macabre.Marionette 🤣🤣
39:14 calling her babygirl 😂. Theo’s a menace
He tryin make her a rat queen
I know and that was just the start of it hahaha
That melted me.
“How tall is a cat again look that up!” 45 minutes into the podcast.
Lmaoooo
I listened to this today at work loading chips into trucks. Man, what a beautiful soul both Theo and Samantha are. i have 4 cats myself, my jamaican branch kitten died several years ago. This woman would be my idea girlfriend. haha
Theo make it happen!!
Yeah! Go on a date at least🙌🏼
Shes single!!!
Amazing from the start!
"What is a cat?"
I dont know, I feel more sorry for Theo..
The best way to open 😂
20:00 the rats are preforming in night clubs 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Theo glitched
He called a rat a Jamaican branch kitten😂😂😂😂
I own 7 cats. I have one I've trained to ride in a basket on my bike. What a wonderful interview loved hearing your story
Yes! I trained my giant orange boy to do backflips, but now he’s a senior and so we’ve backed off, but they are very intelligent.
They need to raise funds for this lady ♥️
“We”
Gets me thru my work days ❤❤ don’t know what I would do without Theo in my life
Dr. Maté and now Acro Cats!!! Best week ever!😹😻 I saw the Acro Cats when they came to Portland💚💚 I proudly wear my Acro Cats shirt!!!
I stay on a mountain in the middle of nowhere in africa and a cat worked her way into my garden,
snuck passed my two dachshunds and a huge aggressive boerboel and gave birth to 4 kittens in the loft above my bedroom.
All five cats now go on hikes with the dogs and me every evening,
They're definitely aliens in disguise..
Definitely, ancestors to guide us 🐈⬛
😍
That's awesome
Theos , his producers , and team are putting in WORK while fully touring! God, I love theo, an inspiration, steam rolling through life and struggles with grace. Make sure to take a break and soak it in!!
These kind of interviews are the best!
We need the lunch lady encore 😂
I vote for lunch lady coming back! She was so damn charming ❤
I’m still laughing with her!!😂😂
I didn’t realize how incredible this would be
Theo, I LOVED this episode; Samantha is incredible & endlessly interesting! A dog lover turned cat guy here (I didn't choose the cat life, the crazy cat man life chose me. All 5 of my cats are feral rescues that did, indeed, find me when they needed help. 2 brother & sister 13+ years ago in Dallas, TX, 1 outside/inside, now inside who's 3-4 now, & last year this November, 2 month old kitten sisters makes 5). Thanks for sharing this! EXTREMELY enjoyable.
Cat distribution system at it’s finest 😊
you do realize you can both love dogs and cats? Dogs are better as well
@@kshitizyadav3174 inherited my mom's 3-4 year old dog in the last months after my step father passed in July & she is smaller than my 1 year old kittens. :P
Great interview Theo! As a cat rescuer, truly thank you for helping end the stigma around cats.
Just went to the prison rodeo last week, and purchased my tickets for the meowy catmas show! Thanks Theo for introducing me to so many cool events I never knew existed before! 🎉
Prison...rodeo? Sounds pretty homoerotic.😮
Theo needs to interview a USPS career Mailman, they all have the craziest stories
“Noah’s Ark & God” that line was magic 😂
As a crazy cat lady, this is amazing.
Jesus Christ I love this man. Just when I think I couldn't adore him anymore he interviews this cat trainer that I absolutely LOVE!!
Something strangely soothing about this lady .. marvellous
saw the acrocats last weekend and it was the best event i’ve ever been to. such an amazing environment !
Lmao Theo talking about love and marriage with every guest is so funny
It’s going to be interesting if he ever falls in love and gets married.
That's because he wants it and in my unprofessional means nothing opinion needs it he will make an incredible husband and father gang gang
My wife woke me up excited about a Theo Von podcasts about cats, Before the cats woke me up for food! This is important
I fed my cat when I woke up 😌
Change your ways! Meet a man! Have a child! At least Meet SOMEONE take the kids away if needed. Make a difference when u leave this world. Cats 💀 before humans. So what difference and what legacy are u leaving?
Jk idk and idc.
@@blizzyRAY mandatory
@@erikaLS305I can’t tell if this is supposed to be a joke ☠️
I’ve seen the acrocats and they are incredible!! Much love Samantha and kitties
“How crowded is the traveling musical cat themed performer market?” 😂
The fact that this is basically 2 and a half hours is hilarious
Let's get this lady a bus
a short one
@@jpk9902 she's probably accomplished more than you have. So what does that say about you?
@@LS-kc5xg You think this lady's accomplished something? lol lmao even
@@jpk9902 what have you accomplished besides being a douchebag?
@@LS-kc5xgsaying probably and asking is wild🤣. You donated right?
I love her determination and passion ❤️
Her attitude is really uplifting too. Like the fun aunt😆
Please do not encourage her
@@jpk9902you have 100+ comments on this channel, get a job
@@jpk9902Why she’s just doing what she loves doing? You don’t need to miserably judge everything in life.
Same
this is definitely my favorite episode of the podcast by far. this lady is so freaking cool and definitely wanna check out a live show lol
I'm positively dizzy😂😂😂😂 Maté and then this? Damn. I love you so hard Theo.
this dude has me looking up this show on you tube and actually watching it....unbelievable 🤣
I just can't even with this interview! Theo wanting the intimate details of this ladies cat passion as a child. This is crazy hilarious!
"1:53" What is a cat? 💀
I was driving up 65 a couple weeks ago and saw her bus. this explains alot.
I always love seeing people who followed their dreams and make a living doing what they love. I hope her and her cats all have wonderful lives.
This is now officially the JRE replacement therapy destination for us “old timers” lol.
I needed some Theo and here he is with a new banger. My mom is in active addiction rn and its bringing me down. Got my “Be Good To Yourself” hoodie on. Gang gang. 💜
Gang gang. ❤️🙏
🙏🏻
💜💜💜
I’m only half way through this interview but came to say how much I’m enjoying listening to this interesting lady. Anyone who is kind with animals is a wonderful person, in my book. When I was a support worker, one of my clients once told me that “dogs have owners, cats have servants!” It made me laugh but I also thought how true that was. Thanks for this amazing podcast, Theo.
I love that this queen always chose her career & the life to truly be herself over being in a marriage! 🥰
🐀: "What song do they play? "
🐈: "Freeform jazz, sorta.."
Love this episode🤭🙌🏼
Theo could interview a circus clown and I’d still watch that sh** start to finish.
We definitely need this
Circus clown would have been a lot better
You’re in luck, he interviewed a carny a few months back
The confused looked on Theos face in the thumbnail tells it all! 😂😂
Never in my 25 years on this earth would I have thought I listened to a two hour podcast covering the career of a woman who is a rat & cat connoisseur
Love it though
Right!? Theo’s podcasts open my horizons in the most unexpected ways 😂
I don’t care what anyone says. This woman is awesome. 👏🏼
Theo is quite possibly the best podcaster out there with his range of guests and humor. What a guy.
no one else LOST IT when he mentioned kodak black? 💀
OMG, two of my favorite people are together!! I saw an Acrocats show years ago, and it was absolutely amazing. Thank you Theo for giving the Acrocats your platform, the work Samantha does for these bittys is incredible!! Gang Gang
Theo’s guest are either who tf is that or the president
Nah you are just ignorant to the world 😂
Theo is such a decent dude, and you can tell she really loves what she does. These types of conversations are my favorite.
This guy really said "Semper Feline" 🤔🤯😂
37:08 OF COURSE Theo used to peddle hamsters outside of raves & concerts.. so spot on!!!😂😂😂
Good thing he didnt mention they were branded lol
This man can interview a newborn and this shit will be entertaining 🔥🔥🔥I’m upstaiRs!!!
Some of these normal people are more charismatic than celebs 😂
'Most of'..I think is more accurate XD
This is “normal?” 😂😂😂😂 she runs an orphan cat circus 😂😂😂 and bless her for it!
Most of them.
The Rat King and the Rat Lady......the universe is magical 😂
Love her outlook & her confidence! She’s the cat queen!! 🐱 👑
Came here in under a minute to mention my love for this podcast!
You’re welcome
Ok
Same lol
gay! 😂
@@la_s84 queering about I am
Theo's reactions to the tricks...... with the ears 😂
2 hours about cats. Theo is on a hot tin roof with this one.
Have seen AcroCats 2 or 3 times. Very entertaining and fun for everyone who is into animals. Samantha is wonderful and is an absolute humanitarian.
“Shawshank Rat-denption” 😂😂😂
I LOVED this, i dont know, and cant explain it, but i loved it. guess is one of those things you needed but didnt know you needed it. thanks
Great interview, Theo.You always have someone interesting and always make me smile😂
“They take me to the kitten room, and they say: Whoever you don’t pick from this room today we’re gonna euthanize.”
Theo: “And this is a Japanese game show?” 😂😂
Great interview but this lady did not understand Theo’s humor at all 😂😂😂😂😂😂 The Chris Brown of cats ….. omg hysterical!!!!!
I've attended one of these performances way back. I admire anyone who can make a living at something so random!
I think Theo is in love!! Wonderful podcast brother! Killing it!
"Tuna played the Cowbell but that came later"
Words to live by.
Theo: “When Stephen King took off”, Her : “😐” 😂
I’m impressed with Theo’s ability to focus on trying to get the timeline of the actual acrocat experience 😊
Theo's choice of guests is now all part of the act. I could not love him any more than I do.
I don't think she gets his jokes😂😂 She isn't laughing..."She loves beer"...."Prob a single mom"🤣🤣
The Christmas card, “Patty got her menstrual cycle”…😂🤣
Once I saw one of those cats play drums and strum a guitar, I was sold
