1:32:00 I went to a Louie CK show in Alabama about 7 years ago ( very small place, was about 10 feet away), Louie made a comment about why I was at the show and not laughing. It was in fact a great show and that just how I process the jokes.

[@dkarahtee5340]

I hope you and Louie stay in touch, Theo. As weird as it seems, I feel like you and him could have a really unique friendship.

[@alainportant6412]

[@mcminn94]

Louis is the only person I've seen catch everything Theo is saying , great chemistry you can tell he really like Theo

[@brandonhinrichs4393]

The thing that fascinates him is observing, studying and dissecting other peoples behavior. And trying to get to the core of why people do the things they do. I have no doubt he's thoroughly entertained with listening to Theo and trying to get some insight into how his brain works

[@Sprite_525]

Shane Gillis was the only other one, and it’s no surprise to me that Louis CK went on Shane’s podcast too. I highly recommend it if you haven’t seen it. Louis’s podcasts with Shane are very high quality in the same way, they’re listening to each other and there’s nothing forced, it’s all based off honesty and being real

[@ModeratelyAmused]

If there was ever a path for Theo to have a movie or single season series about his childhood, Louis would be the perfect producer/director/writer to make that happen.

[@MackNcD]

I knew their vibes would be great, they’re both very outside of themselves, contemplate others and relationships, and life deeply. Introspectively, with fun spins on things. Great podcast

[@Mr.Marketing]

He’s surprisingly stupid for his age. It’s pretty embarrassing honestly. Not as embarrassing as the podcast episode Louie did with Yannis Papas, but definitely the second most annoying. Then Bert obviously, but worth it to listen to Louie talk however.

[@frankflex4465]

NO,hes atchalee weetardid.

[@logicalconceptofficial]

I agree, he says some things that are totally unique and creative. It’s not a matter of intelligence as much as a unique logic and it’s definitely interesting and funny to listen to. A lot of people here are being difficult but they would be hard pressed to beat Theo in some sort of objective “linguistic creativity” or “comedic creativity” competition.

If only Bill Burr was this nice to Theo🙄

[@RangeRov49]

Actually got a picture, autograph and $100 tip from Louie back when I was a mechanic at Sears. He had a blowout on the highway and pulled off to the closest shop. Real cool dude, we kept his privacy by doing business in the back away from the store front, but we chatted the whole time he was there. At the time he was driving a Ford Flex, which had 20 inch wheels so we didn't have a tire in stock. He was about to buy 4 rims and 4 tires if they were in stock, but I ended up putting his spare for him, but he was still super grateful. At the time, I told him I had a fiancée and that we were huge fans; he then took a pic with me, gave me his autograph, and $100 tip. On his way out and after giving me the tip, he told me to buy her something nice, instead I got the photo framed with his autograph and the $100 bill. The autograph said "thanks for almost fixing my fucking car" I was perfectly roasted.

[@markc9949]

Fucking incredible story. That's awesome.

[@yabigitisine7164]

He liked my comment on instagram and i took a screenshot of it thinking i could frame it one day. That’s how much I love this fucking loser

[@michaelturley8222]

Two comic geniuses, Idk how Bill didn't get it, i think he was too on edge, and didn't realize theo is just saying silly shit to make us laugh not because he really believes it.

[@JOHNTHE8TH1]

What Louis said about his dog, wow. You don’t have to do anything for me, you just have to be still and take the affection I’m giving you. It hit me.

[@astr0sauce]

omg ☠️

[@mrsorg87]

He used to have an old bit where he would say something like: after you have children "fuck a dog", you couldn't care less about anything BUT your own family. I know it's just a bit but there are a lot of truths in his comedy. So for me to see him develop into a 100% focused dad, raising his children, letting them go to the world and come back to a house where now a dog is on the receiving end of this love and nourishment gives me hope, because I am still at the dog fase, pre children :D

[@los1wochos]

This might be the best Louis podcast appearance I've seen. Louis and Theo just really get each other and vibe so well.

i cant even imagine how theo must have felt having one of the biggest legends of comedy give him such genuine affirmation and admiration towards his career. not only that, being able to have louie be so unguarded through the whole episode. another banger of a podcast.

[@ronstero]

Got a timestamp?

[@jinks908]

1:27:00 - I can probably speak for a lot of us who have been following Theo for years and the relationship we have with him as fans when I say that Louis paying him such a genuinely high compliment about his comedy and his talent absolutely sent me over the moon. You could honestly argue that that's the *_highest_* possible accolade any comedian could ever receive to have one of the greatest comics of all time talk about how you made him laugh so hard and he doesn't even remember the last time someone made him do that. And as he goes on to tell Theo a little later in the episode how he still has so many years of his career ahead of him and will get even better at his craft, it was like Louis almost foreshadowing an eventual passing of the torch. We got to see the actual moment where the f**king GOAT basically told Theo to hold this bitch down when he's gone. And as a long time listener and huge fan of Theo's, that was just one of the greatest moments on this entire podcast. Theo has worked so hard for so many years and considering all the things he's been through and struggles with and yet still manages to be such a good person and always working on himself and trying to improve, it was just so awesome to see him receive such a deserved respect and admiration from an absolute TITAN in the comedy industry. Way to go, Theo. We f**king love you man, praise God baby! 😤

But now he seems to actually listen to and engage with people much more so than I remember him being. He just seems to really be much more present and in the moment or something.

On other shows like Joe Rogan Theo’s an unstoppable force, but the host isn’t an immovable object so the result is more laughing at Theo being crazy. This just works so well

[@GregVanGorp]

It wasn't until halfway through that LCK said "I should listen to something from him so I can pay him a compliment or hear him talk".... I thought they were life-long friends based on the conversation until that moment. Amazing flow of conversation

I think that’s one of the reasons Louie is such a good comedian…he’s genuinely interested in life and other people’s behavior and experiences. He’s a good listener and probes further because of his strong curiosity about everything…and Theo is the same way. This conversation is so good!

Two of the funniest guys on the planet who somehow have perfectly contrasting senses of humor, with almost total opposite personalities, childhoods, current situations, reactions, responses, perspectives, etc etc.., yet they could not have mingled more seamlessly. They are both incredibly empathetic, and it’s just beautiful to watch CK immediately hone in on Theo’s heightened sensitivity, and subtly adjust his typical demeanor, like he knew Theo could benefit therapeutically to feel understood and appreciated a bit more for even this small amount of time. He was genuinely happy to provide it. He was so invested and interested and amused the entire time. He was almost fatherly here. It brought out the best in him and he fully embraced Theo’s magic. I feel lucky to get to witness such a wholesomely sweet and funny conversation. I love them both now more than ever ❤

That story Theo told about a fight that he had with a kid hit a little too close to home for me. I had that same experience back in highschool, I am 34 now, where I fought another kid and we were taken to the principal's office. While waiting for the principal to call us, they made us sit next to each other which took like forever and I am not sure if they intended it just so we would have time to cool down and get bored and start talking to each other but it worked. By the time we were called to get to the principal's office we were already best mates. We continued being best friends until he died 13 years later. I miss him every day and I always get teary-eyed thinking of him. One of the best human beings ever to walk this Earth.

The thing with Burr is that a notable part of his comedic approach is that super confrontational, dickish side of himself. That is a large part of what propelled his career. When Burr brings this into an interview/podcast that is not prepared for it, it can get awkward. Like that time on this podcast. That side of Burr obviously does not mesh with Theo's style, at least they did not find a middle ground. One the one hand, a show/podcast should service their guest. That is just how things work in entertainment. On the other hand, you'd think Burr would want to pivot when his style isn't working in a certain context.
