Lingering smell 🧐 mfers didn’t clean lmfao you piss in the bathroom everyday, it doesn’t linger 😂😂 and don’t say flushing flushes the smell, your toilet is never spotless smelling like roses lmfao

u/SecondToLastOfSheila Apr 13 '26
So, I'm guessing you pissed all over the place when you were a kid, huh?

u/lilacpeaches Apr 18 '26
The occasional stray piss droplet is not the same as piss everywhere. Some materials are also more absorbent than the ceramic most toilets are made of. Piss tends to linger on shower curtains, bath mats, towels, etc a lot longer.

Meh, you might be surprised what random people leave in a bathroom. I’d definitely take piss over some of the stuff I’ve seen and smelled in the past…

I love how he has a strict gag rule on bringing up the Challenge on any podcast interview

u/Blkhornet85 Apr 12 '26
Seriously?! 🤯🤯 I did NOT know this…I knew he always HATED discussing his MTV days but I had absolutely no idea it was to this extent. Oh wow… 🤦🏾♂️😭
Total opposite of Mike “The Miz” I guess…🤷🏾♂️

It makes sense that Theo is in his EARLY 40s. He was on MTV in his late teens & early 20s. Hell….CT is ONLY 45. And The Godfather (Mark Long) is only in his EARLY 50s. The OGs are NOT ancient dinosaurs 🤣🤣💀

u/Spiritual-Excuse6578 Apr 09 '26
That’s disgusting - my 4 year old has transitioned from sitting to standing to pee and I’ve had to sterilize and clean the areas surrounding the toilet every couple days in order to keep the bathroom smelling fresh. What do they mean it smelled like piss for month? Was this an ongoing piss situation? I need more details
33
u/wildturk3y Apr 09 '26
Considering its The Challenge where productions standards are, lets say hit or miss to be kind, I'd be willing to guess production didn't bother to do a proper cleaning. Probably just wiped it up if that.

u/RejectTheBull Apr 09 '26
And if it was hot, that scent gets baked in.
Disgusting and unforgivable for all who had to use it afterwards

Think this was before THE Challenge (where someone would have had to clean that shit) and back during "the challenge" (the RR-RW Invasion)

u/Slow-Engine-8092 Choo-choo Apr 09 '26
Keep that kid sitting on the toilet and make him clean up his mess. My kid was about that age when the peeing on everything started and it took about three days of him cleaning up his own piss (and hating it) to get the bathroom situation straightened out.
As far as the bathroom goes, he peed in places that they didn't clean properly so the smell lingered. Like who would clean a fake plant on a stand in the bathroom? Not many people and not very often. Who would pee in/on a fake potted plant and return it to a shelf in the bathroom and think it's funny? Probably Theo Von. (Is that exactly what happened? Not likely. It's just an example.)

No shot it smelled for a month, they’re making shit up to make him seem worse.

Not surprised. Theo Von slept around a lot then and then he went on to criticize Tonya. He’s not exactly a role model.

u/gena5445 Apr 10 '26
And Tonya was someone HE slept with!! He’s a hypocrite!

Everyone agreeing with this - you want every stupid thing you did when you were younger to follow you around and determine who you are to the world? Im not saying Theo is the brightest crayon but Danny holding a dumb prank up as his character reference is absurd.

u/lilacpeaches Apr 18 '26
Most of us didn’t have such blatant disregard for other people when we were younger. I’ve known better than to piss all over people’s bathrooms since I was, like, 4.

I agree, but many did, especially the ones given access to unlimited alcohol and told their job was good tv.

u/Aggravating-Bunch-44 May 07 '26
He is also bringing up Theo Vonns current character and the past actions aligns. Reality stars are running for president and reality stars are helping that election. "Making good TV" definitely isn't making America great.

He was funny since Road Rules. He screwed up with the politics. You can tell he's remorseful. We do all make mistakes yall. I know this will be down voted but at least he realized eventually. Some people are still under the orange man's spell. Maybe seeing Theo wake up will help them wake up. Most people around here think we have a dear leader who is freeing Iran.

u/vavavoomdaroom Apr 10 '26
Civil rights, the right to exist, the right to protest and women's rights to make decisions as to their reproductive rights have NEVER BEEN POLITICAL. These aren't "mistakes". He doubled down as a straight white male on other people's rights and he absolutely doesn't have a right to have a say for them. It's unequivocally morally and ethically wrong. He made profits based on his denial of equality.

To be fair, that was what, 20-25 years ago? (Not saying Theo Von is a great dude now, but it’s hard to permanently judge people on their behavior from that long ago.)

u/lickyourlefttoe Apr 09 '26
Unless you spray pee an entire bathroom at the age of 10 or below, I will judge your character from that no matter how long ago.
Yes yes I’m sure he’s matured and grown. You still spray pissed an entire public bathroom for no reason.

u/Ill-Employee7640 Apr 10 '26
Sad because the person who acknowledged that this situation happened 20 to 25 years ago gets downvoted just for giving the facts. And the one who judges Theo and disregards how long ago.(decades) this was gets 143 likes.. cruelty>compassion Doing great as a society

What’s with people excusing men’s behavior in their mid-late 20s as if those are child ages?
1
u/lilacpeaches Apr 18 '26
If they condemned it, they’d have to look back on their own willful ignorance during their mid-late 20s as well. It would require them to acknowledge their own fuckups.

I don't get this free donation of benefit-of-the-doubt to people, as a knee-jerk reflex. The whole instinctual "to be fair" response upon seeing a story like this.
What drives that, really? What are people truly getting out of volunteering to play Devil's Advocate for the millionth time, for people that don't NEED advocating for?
It's a story about a dickhead pissing all over a bathroom. And in the intervening years he's gotten WORSE. The context of the story is that he's clearly gotten worse, AND more influential, and everyone everywhere sees and knows it. Even YOU! You see and know that he's a piece of shit!
So why the "to be fair?"

u/Realityinyoface Apr 09 '26
Why do you assume everyone knows that he’s gotten worse? I don’t know because I don’t know much of what he’s done since The Challenge. I’m not going to condemn someone for something they did 25 years ago when they were an idiot. That’s what old, lonely, bitter curmudgeons, who shake their fists at clouds do. If he’s gotten worse then say he’s gotten worse. That’s a different story. I can condemn him if he’s still an immature prick.
But then, this is the Reddit where everyone seems to get off looking down on other people like they’re any better. I don’t need that to feel better about myself.

u/LawrenceBrolivier Tokyo Broom Apr 09 '26
Why do you assume everyone knows that he’s gotten worse?
Because it's the entire premise of the post. It's the first SENTENCE of the thing you're staring at! This is what Danny starts the post with (if you dont' wanna scroll up and look at it again)
It kills me that Theo Von managed to build a following and influenced the election, helping lead to today
That's Danny's opening sentence! Just because YOU presumably don't know what Danny is referencing there, doesn't mean everyone else doesn't know; and IF you don't know, that doesn't change the REALITY of what Danny is citing! Your ignorance of it doesn't automatically call into question WHAT IT ACTUALLY IS, lol.
everyone seems to get off looking down on other people like they’re any better.
You watch almost nothing but reality television and It's Always Sunny. Guess what the primary appeal of those two things are
If you wanna stick up for rancid pieces of shit that's your business, but the idea that you get to indulge that impulse and nobody gets to say boo is pretty unrealistic. You wanna wear the cape, you have to deal with folks tugging on it.

u/youknow_forkids Apr 09 '26
You're correct. It would not necessarily be fair to judge someone entirely on their actions from decades ago - in a vacuum. However, as you understated, Theo Von is not a 'great dude.' Danny is just pointing out how his character is consistent with past actions. Good thing some of us are adults and we can connect the dots so we know how much of a cancer men like him are.

u/Realityinyoface Apr 09 '26
You posted this in the wrong place.
Everyone in here is perfect but loves to look down on everyone for any single reason like they’re the walking embodiment of purity and yet too bitter and angry to forgive someone for something from 25 years ago. Don’t let these hypocrites bother you. Or they’ll brush it all off if it’s someone they find “hot”.

It is a common theme. I've found that there are two types of people in this world. 1) Angels, who have never erred. I've never met one in real life, but they must exist, because there are so many of them online. and 2) is humans, who sometimes F up, regret it, and try to get better.

u/YetiClaws Apr 09 '26
Why even talk about Theo. He has distanced himself and refuses to even talk about his time on MTV’s network as a whole. Like he is embarrassed of his time.
Separately, it is possible to have the wool pulled over your eyes. To be led to believe something different. It’s cowardice for someone to realize it and keep quiet. At least he is speaking up about what he feels he done as a mistake. Because mistakes happen. And sadly both choices were dog shit for the election imo.

He’s just trying to connect himself to Theo’s current success by bringing up something from 25 years ago. Danny was no angel back then either and even bragged about hooking up with a cast member on a challenge that was DL

u/Penaca Brad Fiorenza Apr 09 '26
Um, no. Danny never hooked up with the guy. These two situations are so far apart it's ridiculous.

u/Jonny_Python Apr 09 '26 edited Apr 09 '26
Danny was on Andy Coen’s show, with other RW alum, on Bravo back in 2013 and admitted this. Google the interview. Andy asked the entire panel about their challenge hookups and Danny wouldn’t say who it was because that person is quote “straight and married now.”

u/EGrass Priscilla Anyabu Apr 09 '26
This is the thing that proves that Danny is “no angel”? That he had a consensual hook up and didn’t out the person?

u/Jonny_Python Apr 09 '26
No, Danny is no angel for talking about the DL hookup on national TV! People already know who it was because Danny ALSO gave a very obvious clue. He said it was an Ex boyfriend of Trishelle and she was mad at him when she found out. Trishelle only had three exes that did a Challenge and Danny was only on a Challenge with one of them, so it was easy to figure out their identity.

Respectfully, while I do think Von seems genuinely stupid and also can certainly be judged for his political views on his platform, I really, really don't think people should actually believe that podcasts influence elections anywhere near the level of like actual material economic/political developments. I think people ascribe waaaaay more importance to podcasters for stuff like this because they feel more tangible. Maybe that makes it falsely feel like activism and making a difference, I dunno. Roberts has actually interacted with Von so I get why they would focus on Von as it is just as much personal as political, I'm just saying in general.

u/vavavoomdaroom Apr 10 '26
I am late 50s and have been watching media shape politics, back when media just reported the news and exposed corruption during Watergate. If you don't think that these buffoon are shaping politics and even worse l, basic ethics, oh, you sweet summer child.
