It's Greasy — The Al Pastor Philosophy
At 5:30 · chapter starts 2:25
Fresh into the solo episode, Theo weaves a characteristically winding tale about visiting a Mexican food stand and ordering al pastor — partly because he thought 'al pastor' had a religious connection to 'pastor.' The vendor kept pointing out how greasy the food was, even though he was the one who cooked it. Theo compares this to selling someone a car without windows and then complaining it's windy inside — a bit of absurdist logic that lands perfectly. The real payoff comes when Theo zooms out and turns the greasy plate into a personal philosophy: sometimes life is greasy, second-class, imperfect — but as long as you're still on the menu, you're still an entrée.

Greasy food, breezy cars without windows, and second-class meats — Theo Von turns a bad plate of al pastor into a full meditation on accepting life's imperfections. You're still an entrée, baby.
Theo Von went on stage at Stagecoach with country singer Ella Langley and felt like 'a mountain lion.' It was terrifying and transcendent — proof that first times in front of a crowd carry their own kind of magic.
