If these conversations happen in front of the camera, I can only imagine what was said off-camera between these two.
Last week, Post Malone sat down as the guest for Theo Von’s This Past Weekend podcast, and its content is pure gold. The conversations between these two are like the meeting of my last two brain cells in the best way possible. It’s hilarious, unhinged, and beyond authentic as both men stay true to themselves.
The podcast started strong when Von thought Post Malone was old enough to meet Elvis Presley. While I believe these two would have 100% been friends if they were alive in the same era, it begs the question of how old Theo Von thought Malone was.
That short segment was just a taste of the unhinged goodness that was to come later in the episode. One of my favorite segments of their time together was when Von inquired about Post Malone’s child.
Posty keeps his fiance and baby girl out of the limelight, so any snippet of information fans get about this side of him is exciting to learn. We know that Posty adores his little girl from the lyrics of his track “Yours” on his debut country record, which details giving her away to her future husband.
While the track is serious off the album, the conversation he had with Von was anything but that. Von starts the segment by asking Malone if deciding to have a child was hard. Given Malone’s fame and time on the road, he is far from a conventional dad, which sometimes deters those in the limelight from having children.
“No, I’ve been horny for a long time. I’ve always wanted to be a dad. I always told myself when I was younger and going through sh*t and coming up, I was like, ‘Oh, I need a kid.’ But that was for a selfish reason. It was to fill something I felt like I was missing. At one point, I was like, I want to create a f**king awesome life and create life.”
Von then asks Malone if he was there for the birth of his little girl, and Malone gives all the details.
“I pulled her out of the coochie. Yeah, I did. They let me bring my Katana in.”
Von is clutching his pearls from Malone, saying he pulled out his daughter and completely glossed over the fact Malone said he brought a Katana into the delivery room. Von then asks a very appropriate question, given Malone was in the action.
“What kind of shoes did you wear?”
Malone quickly replied that he was sporting a nice pair of closed-toed shoes. Relieved by that answer, Von jokes that only one person could get away with having their dogs out in the delivery room: Jimmy Buffett.
“Anybody that wears open-toed shoes to their child’s birth is, first of all, a Jimmy Buffett fan.”
Malone is dying laughing, saying that Jimmy Buffett could get away with wearing more than flip-flops to his child’s birth.
“Well, f*** yeah. Well, that’s the one exception. I think Jimmy Buffett could wear a thong to his child’s birth, I think.”
I mean…they have a point. This conversation is probably the most poetic birth story ever told.
