We all know that Theo Von is a little bit of a wildcard. The things he says have a certain... candid quality to them. And this time, he's said something that's on another level.
As reported by Whiskey Riff, in a recent episode of his podcast This Past Weekend, he made a pretty funny comparison to Rascal Flatts frontman Gary LeVox.
The episode was with James Li, a journalist and podcaster. They were talking about Theo's old game show Deal With It, which ran between 2013 and 2014. Theo pulled up a picture of a promo for the show, and made this comparison:
"I also just realized I looked like that lesbian lady from—what's that band?" he asked. Theo Von continued, "They sing that song, 'Life Is A Highway'."
And if you're somehow unaware, he's referring to legendary band Rascal Flatts. But you're probably wondering, are there any women in the group?
No, of course there isn't! It's an all-male band. But Theo Von genuinely seemed to think there was a lesbian woman in there. "Yes, I looked like that lesbian lady from Rascal Flatts. And I mean, maybe that's rude to say." And he was referring to Gary Levox, the famously male singer.
Even when he saw a picture of the whole group, zooming in on Gary LeVox, he stood steadfast in his assumption. "Pretty close, huh?"

Theo Von's Reaction When He Realizes He Got It Wrong Is Hilarious
And when the ball drops and Theo Von realizes there isn't in fact a lesbian, he laughs out loud and exclaims, "Oh, there is NOT a lady in Rascal Flatts. My bad!" What a hilarious mistake to make.
Fans in the comments of the podcast clip made comparisons to actual female band members who he might have been referring to. Some said Kristen Hall of Sugarland or Natalie Maines of Dixie Chicks. One even suggested P!nk.
But we genuinely can't be sure whether he was actually thinking of Gary LeVox and seriously thought Rascal Flatts had a lesbian in the mix.
Never change, Theo Von. Never ever change.
