Normal people > celebrities
Both are the same. It's just celebs can get a bit out of touch at times.
Celebrities are normal people lol. Obviously due to their fame they have access to a lifestyle that most normal people don't but they aren't some subhuman creatures lol.
@@lebumjames1373one of the best three comments on youtube😂 honestly people put celebrities on pedestals, it’s really pitiful and pathetic.
These Blue collar and slice of life interviews are my favorite, the plumber episode is still my favorite lol. "You still piss outside?"
Haven't seen that episode but my stepdad is a plumber and I have some experience myself. Can confirm it's an interesting job
@@FlaccidFella😊😊Q10
Blue collar.. dude is practically a doctor and it's blue collar.... ?
Theo Von's interviews with ordinary Americans the past decade are the best. From the security guard to the butcher, I always find more interesting than a brain dead celeb.
He should try interviewing women in these fields sometimes, like me. We exist. Coincidentally, I dropped out of school for mortuary science and became a plumber/pipefitter.
Glad he went into this field instead of becoming a serial killer. 😂
lmfao some dexter type shit for sure
maybe he is 🤣 maybe hes work is just warmup excercises untill he comes home... also he can study murders this way and get way better at it... who knows what people do when they are isolated for to long with their expanding thoughts and obsessions like killers have 👹
🤔@@Kado1609
brother coming back from the army with pics to show you. that's actually how serial killers happen
I do find it a little weird lol but all things considered I guess this is what happens when someone is interested in that type of stuff but isn't a sociopath and wants to do useful work.
I love that Theo has normal guys on. If you ever want to talk to a KY firefighter that used to be in a cult in California/NYC hit me up!
that sounds incredible.
You sound interesting enough to sub
hell yeah dude!! my grandpa was a captain in the ville
Burritos are better than tacos. I agree.
I vote for this guy to be a guest!!!
That's Tarantino's brother, he's been feeding him the scripts
Haha. Youre right. He looks like him
Brooooo, just a wanted to say he was his country brother
He did say he found a foot once...
Bro I was thinking the same thing 😂 Looks like a much healthier Tarantino
@@Double_VisionWHATS IN THE BOXXX!!!???
Worked for the funeral service industry for about a year in home removal . It was by far the toughest year of my life. The most humbling , respectful work a person can do . Props to this man .
Working with dyiing people then handling them when they die really f me up..
Your story is similar to mine, but I spent about 3.5 years on the job- also working for the medical examiners office in my city. It will open your eyes to many things, as you’ve said. Hope you’re doing alright.
I’m doing it now going on 8 and a half years. Done everything except embalming. I’m at the end of my rope with the scheduling, it’s a tough gig for sure.
This dude has the exact same cadence as Theo
I swear 😂
two louisiana boys sounding the same? no way
As a British person. Louisiana accents are purrr
2nd that...London here...The Lou accent has soul
Really appreciate the people who can handle these types of jobs. Bless him.
Seriously, Bless this man!
I can not fathom doing what he does for a leaving.
Thankfully, some men are truly built different.
its not that hard
@@PitBullPlaysGamesum, for a LOT of people, it would be incredibly difficult, if not impossible for them to do. You psycho 🙄
@@PitBullPlaysGames.. okay Maverick One thing about social media You never know who's on the other end and I can say I don't trust you as far as I can throw you You shouldn't trust nobody but there's always somebody that's got to chime in , keyboard warriors you have to watch out for them They can see the wind, ( " it's not that hard") I miss you if somebody pulled out a brain and put it in your hands next thing you know they slapping you in the face trying to wake you up You don't hit the floor like a wet mat but hey somebody on here will believe you just not me 🇺🇲🦅🌍⚓ USMC
Being engaged with healthcare from an early age helps. Helped my dad with his rounds in rural medicine in my mid-teens. You get to know the dying and death and you care for them. The paleness is striking at first but it passes. They deserve your care and your respect so you do it correctly.
"I can eat a meatball sub or a boudin cracklins' in an autopsy break room. If you're hungry, you're hungry." This guy is hardcore.
I’m a volly EMT. It turns out I have this super power as well.
I'm a nurse and also have this super power and I'm female.
Not a super power, you’re just real real desensitized to gore and death. Might want to reflect on that- coming from someone formerly in the death industry.
literally saw this comment as the part came on. read it word by word lol God moves in mysterious ways, guess I'm becoming a coroner! lol
I love how he said he listened to Black Gospel music because it is very distinct and unique. That made me smile because while I’m no longer religious, gospel music is just so touching.
Don’t be afraid to turn back to god, he is always waiting
@@bron0726Just because a person isn’t as religious anymore doesn’t mean they’ve turned their back on God.
I love gospel music, especially black gospel music! I'm an atheist now, but I've always loved Black Gospel. Plus, I love music (I'm an artist) and, (as I'm sure you know this already and better than I do), but it is so closely related to old blues.
....I and LOVE the blues!
This guy is just quentin tarantino in a different font
Dentin taranteenis
Interesting comment.
As fractious as Tarantino is, this gentleman is as grounded. Interesting observation. This man is Fette Engschrift, Tarantino is Wingdings.
A different font ahahaha, that is now a phrase I really look forward to using, wonder how long it'll be hahaha
Quentin Theontino
I love these interviews with everyday people not just celebrities
I’m an EMT for a county 911 agency and I find that getting desensitized happens quick for most people in emergency services but the bad scenes can bother you for a while after so having hobby’s is important for your sanity if you plan to work in police, fire, EMS, or coroners office.
I work in surgery and some of the shit you see is wild.. mofos elbow deep in a person's stomach.. you have to be desensitized to handle it absolutely
I’m so thankful we have people that feel led to these professions.
“I wouldn’t have a French Dip that seems a bit much” 😂
That was Theolarious
Dead ass too
"You can go hit it and quit it" sandwich
Interesting man, we need all types. Bless his mind with peace.
I used to do the drain cleaning/sewer jet maintenance for the county coroner where they do the autopsy. Worst thing was going for a clogged line call when my young cousin died a day before and knowing he was there. I didn't see him but was a rough day
Damn that’s rough. Hope you all are doing ok.
Hope you’re doing better man
We need people who can wade through gruesome aspects of life and death so the rest of us do not have to. I admire people like this because they are able to compartmentalize and quantify things the rest of us cannot handle. Morticians and forensic pathologists and trauma surgeons walk the front lines of the shocking and unsettling. I am glad they are out there.
As an electrician, I worked at a morgue for a remodel job. The electrical room, was directly across the hallway from the morgue freezers, onoccasion a mortician walk by with a dead body, they'd always walk by saying something witty. One said, "Don't mind me, we're just passing through, haha get it?" I can understand what he means by having a sense of humor while dealing with the dead. It was a rough job to say the least.
I understand that with the dead. But when I’m in the ER they just be chilling on their phones and joking while I’m dying needing help lmao (not funny)
@@eliassanchez420wakenbake No one cares anymore, haha
It makes a lot of sense though.
Guys with such jobs might be the wittiest.
The nature of the job forces them to come up with the funniest jokes to overplay the negative, so eventually they become comedians.
Humour is good medicine, and people in healthcare need that medicine too. It just so happens that nurses and doctors have a pitch black sense of humour. Some of the strongest jokes I know are from doctors and you can't tell them to anyone else.
I work at a electrical supply in chicago and a guy was working in the morgue and he would stuff vapor rub in his nose to fade the smell
I used to preform cremations, its kinda weird to explain, but i never really got grossed out or whatever, i could eat around the body no problem, clean, organize, build stuff, whatever you do in a crematory. I was always just sad. Not depressed, or anything, just sad. I have a thing where when it rains, i smell decomposition. It happens everytime, i dont know why, it sounds bad but i guess im used to the smell, so its just uncomfortable. I loved preforming my job though, and helping families, its a thankless job being a crematory operator, but its fufilling enough for me. Only reason i quit was cause i wanted to move back home. Now i have plans to build my own home myself. Pretty weird how life works, but it is a blessing whether you are religious or not.
It certainly is a blessing.
Why does the coroner look like he could be Theo's older brother 😂
I never really go to open caskets anymore or funerals in general when a friend or family member dies.. I want to remember them smiling etc instead of laying lifeless in the casket
I get that but it is important to have clarity of the situation. That person lived their life and is no longer there. It’ll help you realize life is all about moments. You’ll remember those moments with that person. What they made you feel. Not their physical body.
Seen lots of death but I 100% agree with you. Some stuff ya can't unsee
My friend was a homicide cop. He told me they'd order pizza and eat lunch after witnessing autopsies . If its a murder the detectives have to witness the autopsy. He said you get used to it after a while.
“You have to have humor…or it’ll eat you up.”
Preach!
And music. ❤
I was a police officer in the UK for over 30 yrs and like this coroner the blood and guts of accidents and crime scenes didn’t ‘bother’ me at all. I’d go home and all was forgotten but what did get me and I still think about sometimes is breaking the news to parents that their child is dead.
I love these interviews with regular people
This is what the pub was for back in the day. Men aren’t really encouraged to congregate anymore (for better/worse).
no way he used “down in a hole” for his alice in chains reference 😂😂
Bro that shit cracked me up 😅
Lmao that was great, love me some AIC
Seeing my dad on life support forever scarred me
Terribly sorry to hear. That’s something that will forever stress me. Just hope you have found peace
Me too even being in health care it could never prepare me
Music is the greatest escape to life. Can't beat it.
"That ala carte" talking about severed limbs. never change Theo, never change.🤣
Besides comic relief, telling someone to do a really easy job that keeps them out of your way is a great little trick to use when on an emergency scene full of bystanders wanting to help.
Emt 101 lol
hes got a little bit of Tarantino in him
Specifically his mouth shape and the way he pronounces some words
I remember seeing an autopsy back in 2014 when I was 23, which was optional for us in paramedic school. I can handle gruesome scenes and dead bodies, but not watching someone cut into them. It was a tortuous 2 hours. I passed out when they started slicing the heart into strips, and the wannabe surgeon nerds/students started laughing at me. Idk how people stomach it; I’ve read that a lot of surgeons are sociopaths, but I’m not saying all of them are. (The guy died of a heart attack btw “see that gray area right there?”)
I have the same response to cutting. If you're cut open already and bleeding I can help you... But don't hand me a scalpel and don't let me watch. Everything goes black
Lol do some push ups and ne a man
I think we run into sociopaths and psychopaths more often than we think. Probably daily if you have to physically attended a gathering location like work or school. I believe the vast majority of them are not serial killers but would not be surprised if that same vast majority often commit small crimes like DWI and petty theft without any thought of public safety or perception. I wonder if autism is somehow connected?
@@TheDiervekand how exactly does autism come into play?
hell some people get aroused by gore
Theo Von: The greatest mullet in the history of the world. Thank you man!
*gender-fluid haircut
Did Theo just call a person's missing limb, "a la carte"? 🤣🤣🤣
He did 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
EVERY healthcare worker that I have worked with has a morbid sense of humor. I believe that's how we cope.
Most I’ve met have been awful
This guy was great, hope he returns
“That wood woRkk!” 😂
A la carte 💀
Theo making a small circle with his hands when saying it lol
2:15 "that a la carte, huh?"
Theo Von, literally genius wordsmith. No cap. That is an INCREDIBLE phrase to pull from the ether. Perfect!
i dont get the joke would you explain it to my retarded ass?
came here to say the same, that was pure intrusive thought
"Allah-carte / à la carte" that's crazy word play, I love him 😂
he is very creative and different from anyone else in his way of thinking lol
"Body shop, baby!" 😂
Alice in Chains with Layne Stayley was the best rock ever, the coroner knows stuff
Suicides are tough. I had one the other day. Guy called 911 and said “come get my body” as we were making entry we heard him shoot himself.
Oh my gosh 😢
@@Amir_Nassir he did. Shot himself through the heart with a .38.
@@takl23😢
My wife is a dental assistant. Her favorite procedure is teeth extractions. I'm weirded out but proud at the same time.
Not every comedian could make a corner as funny as Theo can😂
My boy looks like if Quentin Terontino and Tim Dillon had a baby
When you hungry you hungry
My cousin was murdered in the 90’s. She was stabbed 50 times in the chest and back and her face slashed. She was pregnant and had a small child in the adjoining room. Hubby was working swing shift and cleared very quickly. I’ve always wondered how hard those cases are for the police and coroners. When you meet an officer, of 30 years, and he is crying and saying this is the worst thing he has ever seen - it changes your perspective on the world. I don’t know how they do these jobs but we are THANKFUL!!!
So true. Life is short and it can go at any moment. Its sad.
You just tell yourself “everyone belongs to somebody.”
For a comedian, Theo is a good interviewer...he seems to have a knack for asking the questions that people really want to know.
Listening to black gospel music leaving a crime scene like that, I wouldn’t even be able to drive 😪
Last person gave me stank eye, i let the coroner smell em -lil wayne 😂
Same here. I, through the local high school Works Program back in 1981, trained as a lab aide in a clinical lab. AIDS was just about the strike the world. I saw what the phlebotomist were doing and told my boss, the lab manager (who became my mentor) "I think that I could do that". He said, with an air of doubt, "Oh? Here is the phlebotomy handbook. Take it home, read it, and when you come back tomorrow, we will see".
I came in the next day, still just a senior in high school, and with a lab tech as the volunteer, nailed it, drawing the three vacutainer tubes for a full chemistry panel.
He said, "If it gets busy, start drawing blood samples from patience". For my 18th birthday he gave me my certificate. Moving forward in my education, by the time I was doing my nursing pre-requisites, I had already worked on cadavers, and seen my share of blood.
However, I do believe that you are born with it. You see the cycle of life for what it is and live life fully. Hence, I also raise and release Monarch butterflies, play multiple instruments (keyboards, percussion, vocals, compose, perform) etc. It is imperative that you see the bigger picture.
God bless people like this thst do the difficult things others can't do
2 min and 15 secs........"A la Carte" is one of the funniest low key comments I have heard in a long time.... just slips it in and the conversation keeps going........ LOL I am crying......
I worked in the cadaver lab at a medical school for a couple of years. I cleaned up after they did a dissection. The morgue is harder because some deaths are harder to deal with than others, especially children.
Retired CSI. Investigated over a 150 deaths and went to as nany autopsies. I get these questions alot too. I would much rather deal with a dead body than a live one. The dead are soulless and the human body is fascinating.
I was in an anatomy class and whenever they put up pictures I had to go out in the hall and struggle to not lose consciousness. I have passed out many times. I have never met anyone who has struggled like this. Glad for those who can take it!
I'd love to be a firefighter but in the lone star state you're both a FF and a EMT and I cannot imagine seeing kids DOA or close. My old brother in law had to quit being a FF because of what he saw.
This is so interesting! Would love to see you wildland or structural firefighter 🔥🔥🔥
Yes, bring on Stipe
Majority of career FF job is running EMS calls funny enough.
Did both. Not sure why anyone would be interested. It was just a job
My neighbor is an EMT.... He's seen some shit, amazing guitar player and singer. You need to find certain vents in life to do a job like that.
As weird as it is, if he is someone who can handle that stuff then he should absolutely work in that field so others don’t have to 😅
“A la carte” 😂
My brother worked at a cremation society. He would call me and say things like, I just wanted to call and talk to you... it's a lil dead around here😂 or he would tell me a joke and say I knew it was funny they never laugh at my jokes.
“Life’s pretty fragile”. WWOWWW so insightful…….
I love these episodes because its always people who the world would be more worse off without than we can even imagine. Garbage Men, Coroners, your area would be in a visceral state if these occupations weren't there. This hopefully keeps people grateful for those who do jobs "that somebody's gotta do", because this dude was BUILT for this.
Hearing Theo's Cajun accent pop out in this one at times.
I think this guy is a professional serial killer who doesnt kill. U know what I mean. His good side won
4:18 Ok but fr tho.....tf are Boudin Cracklin's Louisianna lost tf outta me😂
Seasoned Pork cracklings…
@@sweetie10z3bruh how??
Interesting conversation. I’m a machinist at a endoscopic device manufacturer. I like watching the surgeries on the company’s website. I always view surgeons as part mechanic part butcher. Very cool.
I have a very strong connection between seeing and feeling
Working in health care, having a bit of humor is a must to get through difficult things!
This dudes conversation is incredibly attractive
As someone who works in EMS you can’t even describe what it’s like when a person realizes they won’t make it. Asphalt City is honestly a good and close interpretation of EMS in an inner city. Highly recommend.
You become desensitized real quick. Children are the hardest, but it becomes like a movie, but almost in reverse.
By that, when you watch a movie you suspend belief. When viewing traumatic injury and death you also suspend reality while being fully embraced by it. Visually it's not hard, lingering smells are hard to seperate and compartmentalize though. Especially if they get stuck in your hair and clothing.
Then you go home.
so professional. I would hire this guy as my friggin lawyer. hahahah.
I used to work at hospital doing security and they would have us move the bodies, and be there when someone passed in case family’s start something. Wasn’t a very pleasant job
It sounds weird but after seeing my dad's body after he died and cleaning him it became really easy for me to handle dead bodies. I know it sounds weird but it was a mental shift where I realized once I could do that I could handle any other death because no other can ever affect as greatly. In that regard my mindset change and it was so much easier.
As weird as it sounds I think it's only a modern thing where people are so disconnected with death for the most part. To give an analogy it's kind of how most people don't even know how chicken gets on their plate. They just buy it directly from the grocery store but can't really understand or comprehend the actual process that it entails. Similarly, most of us are so far removed from death. We just show up at the part when the body is already in the casket. Essentially, as society has advanced or progressed, we've created services to distance ourselves from the traumas involved in personally dealing with death.
2:40 Theo - "This a riblet *grabs a piece of his stomach pouch*" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jeffrey Dahmer really missed his calling in life if he could of just controlled the urges.
As a person who is not a medical professional, I still have a hard time forgetting what I seen and done. I've had to put down two animals that were hit by cars, and reacted to many car accidents.
In 2004 I was crossing the street with a group of my friends and a car speeding around the curved blind spot hit my little friend Melissa who was maybe 110 pounds. She lived after an extensive hospital stay but to this day I get scared crossing and can still hear the sound of her body smacking into the pavement and I can still close my eyes and see her body flying in the air
As a fellow RT who works in a level one trauma, I agree, you just get so numb to death. There are definitely some that you don’t forget but at the end of the day you can not put your self in their shoes because it’ll consume you. At the end of the day I still need to be able to do my job.
I really can’t get enough of this guy
my pawpaw was a coroner and i always wondered that. he had a briefcase of polaroids in his office i was to "never touch" and of course i did. i was like 6 yrs old and it fkd me up
What was the worst thing you saw?
@Smashingblouse I remember specifically a close up of a male face. Blue. Bloated. Leaking.
@@jonwanrocks uuurgh that’s tough for anyone especially a kid 😔
@@jonwanrocksdid you kiss it
touch myself to it??@@dukenukem69
This guy had good sense humor loved the interview
worked firefighting, paramedics and Nursing, for me dead people were easy to deal with cos its over nothing to be done, its when the family turns up that your heart tears a bit you realize that was a person with attachments to the world, but when the person is still alive and talking to you it becomes personal.
That deletion letter part hit hard. 😢
My uncle became a state coroner and in high school I would beg him to take me with him one day. I found it fascinating. I think it's harder to work in the actual hospital taking care of people, dealing with all the emotions, all the b******* too. Once you have passed and only the body is left, I can at least separate the two. Your soul is gone and your pain is gone, only the shell remains. But watching someone slowly die and then the same the next day and the next day we're working in a Cancer Ward in a children's hospital?.... I could never handle that! Give me the bloated Dead Guy any day

Healthcare workers are a different breed. I’ve seen it change people too
It doesn't affect them as much when it is just a random person on the street, but you better believe that most do see trauma differently when it is personal, like a close family member.
I stopped being a paramedic early for the reason that seeing children with extreme trauma gave me mental trauma.
Adults I could deal with, but children affected me differently... and no, I don't have any kids.
he reminds me of tarantino
My dad was a race car mechanic from the 1940s as a kid. He saw all sorts of trauma.
Later my dad became a policec mechanic and was trained as an emt by his job. He went to emt training every year. He would tell me how he loved watching the others faint in the morgue.
My dad went to help on 9/11. He was blown in the air and landed a block or two away. He wishesld he could know what happened to the lady he worked on.
RIP dad. (My dad passed away several years after 9 11).
Idk you but i love you & im sorry for your loss
@DMS4Three thank you. My dad passed away several years after 9 11. My dad was a great person to the community and people.
Most normal video with Theo Von ever
