- On this episode of This Past Weekend, Theo Von chats with coroner Toby Savoy about what it’s like being a death investigator in today’s world. They talk about about why he got into the business of corpses, the job no rookie wants to get, bloated bodies in the bayou, his take on the opioid crisis, what he’s learned after 18 years on the job, and why you can never really trust your cat…

Thank you Theo, for allowing my husband to be able to share his story. We truly appreciate everyone supporting everyday people like Toby. Our kids are so proud of their dad and thank you for allowing him to share his message!
Great interview. Wonderful guest. Cheers guys.
Damn that’s so cool, if this dude is your husband then you will never run out of interesting things to hear…he was great on the podcast and seemed a natural and comfortable at it
Your husband did a great job!!!
I listened to this episode because he was so compelling
What a cool husband you have. He did great and was super informative.
Theo's "normal people" podcast episodes are always the best
Reminds me of soft white underbelly channel (highly recommend)
Dude that's so true. Its actually a great idea too, means you can make absolutely limitless podcasts with fascinating people !
@@slax4884those people are all ghosts 👻
God that last coronor was amazing ahhaha I still laugh at the damned play on words
@@slax4884 Soft White is great. It got demonetized a while back, dunno if it still is.
Toby helped my family through a really tough time. He drove out of his jurisdiction just to meet with all of my family in one sitting. Some in my family were in denial and hard to deal with. He sat with us for at least one hour. He literally hugged everyone before he left. He really gave my family closer. We will never forget what he did for our family.
Amazing
Love that. Thank you for sharing!!’
Sorry for your loss. Toby seems like the perfect guy for the job. I hope that if the day comes that I find myself in a similar situation that someone like Toby shows up. God bless y'all.
I love these people who aren’t social media stars full of themselves, best stories out there
these people feel much more human that celebrities
However; having worked in this area for 35 years he seems like a nice guy but he's about 25% bs. I have to question some of his judgment when working with law enforcement
@@marthaball8029how so? i’m curious. He seems genuine, and I’d imagine there’d be no reason to lie
@@marthaball8029you’re just hating for no reason, people have different experiences that’s like saying a police officer is lying bc you’re a cop and that hasn’t happened to you.
Everyone talking about Theo, but this dude was a gem. Candid, honest, good sense of humor, and works to make the world a better place. People like that are the backbone of our country fr
and Theo is the humerus.
Amen
He finds the best the one with the cop is my favorite
what about the people he employs? not trying to be confrontational I'm curious if other people find it courageous to work for the coroners and death detectives. its a thankless job, graveyard hours obviously... and deeply traumatizing for people with no medical or professional training. Sorry I'm on Theos favorite type of weed so I'm just hyper curious
@@dwd16mustang Personally ofc I'd applaud all the people that work with and for the coronor/death detective as well. I'm using the coroner as a representative of those types of people that work the thankless jobs for society's sake
"Then I'll start looking for obvious signs of foul play. In this regard, she had no arms." I'm sorry but that killed me 😭
“It’s like a baptism at Arbies”
Theo’s metaphor to rookie policemen throwing up on corpses 😂
Then the Coroner's like "they have the meats" 😅😢
Arby's...we have the missing person's meat!
I read this exactly at that part 😂
Ironically I just watched the Shane Gillis episode where they were discussing the guy throwing up on his daughter at the game😂😂
@@Money74-14 it was a 21 year old guy who threw up on a police man and his daughter
The best thing about these interviews is Theo's random ass questions. " So where do you put the foot in the backseat or the trunk?" Hahaha
One of my favourite things he’s ever said is when he had Kat Von D on and she told him that the police turned up to take her pet squirrel and he replied, “in cuffs?!” 😂😂😂
@@happygoathorrorthat sounds like Theo!!
It’s crazy how many famous and influential people you have on ur show and this guy might be my favorite guest just a real and genuine regular person
100% agree. This guy could be a cohost easily.
I've been saying this for years. Regular people are the best. A friendly persona, interesting stories, no hidden agenda,... All celebs want is to peddle their merch or shit to the audience, drive their agenda or talk about themselves or what their opinion is on daily news, it's disgusting. I only watch Theo's pod when he has regular people on. The trucker, blind woman, plumber, cop,... the best guests he ever had.
Theo should definitely do this more
✨Theo bra! Please have more guests just like this. REAL people are the most fascinating. Thank you. 💜💚💛💙
Did u watch the episode with the retired police officer?
Theo doing more for his community than 99% of celebrities
Amen.
Hes one of the few that genuinely deserve it..gang gang
99% of celebrities make shyt worse.
And that is why we are here and love this man
name 10 he's doing more than
I am from Louisiana and I love how this guy matches Theo's Louisiana energy. To hear a regular person say "I miss crack" and then have a reasonable follow up is amazing.
Haha I noticed how they both pronounce “seement”
Do farmers really clean their shovels out there?? It’s just something I don’t believe. Referring to minute 53:30. As a former farmers daughter… I think that’s the oddest thing. 😂
I come from Louisiana & yeah Toby seems really down to earth, he's right about alot of what he's talkin bout. Toby looks familiar, I'm sure I've seen him on another show. Watch out on the 2 lane highways, ppl walking in the dark, not paying attention, distracted. Ppl be flying sometimes on those back roads too.
@@kathleenyablonski302i have never cleaned a shovel or piece of ground tool in my life but maybe i’m just not that big of a “farmer” lol
I want this man to know that not only is this my favorite episode of Theo’s podcast, but this man inspired me to start EMT school, and I hope one day I’ll be able to become a medical examiner. So thank you Tony!
This is actually my dad my names Jack savoy and I hope y’all like it as much as I do
Dude, how crazy is that to see your old man on a podcast with a guy with almost 2 million followers!?!
Dad did a great job!
Your dads a great guy and was an awesome guest! Definitely a top tier episode.
Your dads awesome ! Glad to see us hardworking blue collar folks get some limelight and recognition for a change !
I thought your dad was interesting and funny. I learned so much about being a coroner. The questions that Theo asked and the answers that your dad gave were a lot of things that I never thought of. You should be very proud of your dad and the kind of man he is to be able to handle this job and still be so compassionate.
I love that Toby has a hidden humor to him😂 perfect person to be on this show because he's serious but says something hilarious but in a nonchalant way
Right 😂 they got each others humor pretty well
" yeah I'll have to come down there and catch a body. Do yall for ride alongs"
"Sure, you just have to wear a lab coat"
You need a great sense of humour to survive in the medical field
Toby is secretly hilarious! That lazy people joke was funny af and it was so organic!
Talking about going over the speed limit to maybe get pulled over with a body in the car! 😂😂😂 I lost it 😂😂😂
“They found a lady in the cooler” “yeah”… “we got the meat uh” .. 😂 priceless! 😂😂😂 Man i loved this episode. The coroner was a standup dude. 👍👍👍
best part, man my abs were hurting from howling
Yooo you from Laredo too!I could tell from your name btw unless you’re from Lubbock or Longview
No no I’ve never been interested in finding a dead body🤮
What a fascinating conversation. This was a breath of fresh air from these types of podcasts. I can’t take another Rogan/Segura “Man the road is so hard” type conversation ever again.
Bert Kreisher 😫
I can’t think of anyone better to interview these people than Theo. He asks the questions I didn’t know I needed the answers to.
Totally agree. “Is there like a buzzer when you get the time of death right?”
That’s exactly what I was thinking the whole time haha
Theo I love the idea of a Dirty Jobs style guests of people from different career fields, really gives people more perspective on what’s going on in other people’s lives. Plus sometimes average people can be funny too.
That's a great idea. Theo would be perfect for something like that
He said a while back that he was looking for a coal miner to interview. I thought about reaching out to him but idk
@@unclemandragon5670please do it!!!! That would be awesome
@unclemandragon5670 you should. If you have alot of experience it'd definitely make for an interesting episode
He has Mike Rowe as a guest, the host of dirty jobs the tv show. He has also had a mortician and a plumber, look back at some of his old stuff
Phenomenal interview by Theo. This is the first podcast I’ve watched start to finish. Theo, you did such a great job of asking questions which no one would’ve thought of and keeping a light mood during a morbid subject matter.
Same
Listen to the Funeral Director, it was super good, too.
@@mollyselph2876was just about to comment this
@@mollyselph2876that interview is what made me interested in this one. I think that funeral director was from Kentucky? Either way good call, both are interesting as hell.
Thanks for doing this video man. My wife and I are morticians. There's not much like what you do online. Really enjoy it. Be blessed my brother
Respect x
Bet you love Six Feet Under eh?
How odd that random normal people have 10x as much profundity and conversational ability than almost all of the celebrity self promoters.
More of this please Theo.
I had no idea profundity was a word until now. Thanks for the education!
hes interviewed a turker farmer, a mortician , a trauma restoration guy, an ex cop, ex border patrol, animal control guy, bryan callen, a woman trucker, a salesman at a gun store he went to, a plumber, a blind woman, and maybe more

@@harrytowers1076 :^)
@@user-qv9wq8vh9cBryan callen 😂
The coroner's awkward reaction at 52:00 when Theo genuinely asks about gay rapes is hilarious
I don't know how to answer that one...
@@drewpickett2565 😂 I fell out when he said that so seriously lmao
He's a no nonsense guy and not judgmental at all. "Of course they do happen"
“Our parish is in rural Louisiana”, man respectfully said I don’t see many gay people
Its worth watching twice 😂
Theo is the most chaotic interviewer hahaha he goes from asking a question to telling some wild shit that he knows that fits the topic. Perfect balance between professional questions and the most random stuff you could imagine.
I vote that you have more guests like this. This was so interesting & definitely one of your better podcasts.
The celebrity interviews get the views but these everyday interviews will stand the test of time and make the biggest positive impact on humanity. Great job Theo
Amen brotha
Every day people are so much more relatable!
Theo already making him feel so cozy, truly a man of the people. Everyone deserves a spotlight, great to see him provide opportunities
Shiiiiine that light on me
Not everyone does fam…
@ogmickeydiamond thank u lol ppl think all humans have good hearts but that's very far from the truth. Unfortunately most ppl out here are more wicked than u know
@@Rico-bx3prWe are inherently bad, we have to learn to be good. When we don’t have a good foundation/parenting you get rapists,murderers, animals.
I would like time in the spotlight
This toby guy seems like hes an angel in disguise.. hes compassion resonates through the air waves .
I'll never get tired of hearing Theo talk to just people with different jobs. Theo is still so down to earth and I feel like he can have a great conversation with just about anyone. As long as their name isn't Bill Burr😂
Theo really shines when he interviews regular people with interesting careers. Theo was made for this style of podcast. I'd rather listen to Mr Savoy for 2 hours than any celebrity. The coroner is cool af. I love this guy, what a true southern gentleman.
Facts! I feel like when he's among regular folks he really kills the interview game, I think his confidence comes through very well.
agreed . right when i heard that southern drawl i knew it was gonna be a good episode
True
When my daughter unexpectedly passed at 39 an autopsy was mandatory..not the thing a mother likes to think about.. ..our county coroner explained why it was necessary..he was the first person in our home and we will always appreciate how kind and thoughtful he was that day... gang gang
The gang gang at the end made me laugh. My heart is with you mama ❤
RIP 🕊️ to your daughter.
@@giannacargill6096 thank you gia...
@@rosamoreno4794 thank you rosa...
Do you know what happened?
I cannot even tell you how much I like these episodes. This was a GREAT one. And the NYC garbage man was killer. I’m nice as hell to my garbage man now.
It takes a special kind of person. Thank you sir, for doing what many cannot do.
That Kat Von D flash when they were talking about cats eating you when you die KILLED ME 😂
right!? i died
more "normal people" podcasts! theyre my absolute favorite! this guy was awesome- absolute standup gentlemen & yall's convo flowed wonderfully. i learn a ton watching these!
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
You say normal people but how many accountants do you go listen to on podcasts? You're interested in this particular person bc he deals with death drugs murders etc. Hypocrite.
My family sectioned me 3 times for alcoholism. Last time was in 2013 when I was 23 years old. Fast forward 10+ years I am still sober, own a business, engaged to the woman of my dreams and trying for a child. Grateful
Mr. Savoy is a wonderful mix of real intelligence, insight, empathy and both smart and good ole boy humor. He's a very special person. Love that Last Responder t-shirt logo. Great episode. Just love how Theo can interact with anyone but it's special to see him connect with his Louisiana brother.
I feel terrible for laughing but theo stressing out when he learned about blood clots was hilarious. As a fellow anxious person, I can relate 😂
Dude I spend a notable amount of time contemplating whether or not the random pain is a blood clot.
@@bbsv13 Oh dude I get it lmao.. I literally spent the last month thinking I had cancer cause a lil cyst. Saw an encologist this week and he straight up laughed at me (which finally helped ease my anxiety)
i laughed at the "idk if the white chocolate kills the same but.." lmao hes teh best. mind works like no other
This guy must be really good at what he does, loaded with information straight off the brain.
Yeah he really is. My name is Jacob Savoy and I’m one of his sons. Dudes amazing
@@bread9880 OK Bre
No matter what job it it's, I'll respect tf out of a person who loves and does their job to the fullest
Your name is Bread Savoy@@bread9880
He’s just a normal bloke with a load of experience in what he does, walk down any local pub and you’ll find plenty of them. Hard working men who have put the graft in over years and years.
Love his shirt that says, "Last Responder" instead of first responder, Keepin' It Real. I learned a lot about the legalities of death when my sister died in New Orleans. I was surprised about the different stages of clearance and how nobody could go near the body when it was still the house. It was weird but i guess they were tryin to preserve the scene in case of foul play. It was a strange scene to be morning with family members in ur own living room surrounded by cop strangers telling you what you can and can't do. I also learned that autopsy's are not automatically done and if not you have to pay for it.
Theo is a comedian, and this guy drops a joke about "if she didn't leave evidence, then good for her," and it went right over Theo's head.
I laughed 😂 gahahah
When my father passed away going into grade 11, the coroner on the scene was so kind and really took care of my family and consoled us. Sad to hear he thinks many people would forget him, I will never forget the coroner from that horrible morning
Your dad was in grade 11? That's amazing I could never make it
Damn. You had a young dad
Same here, my dad died suddenly, and the coroner was very comforting. You never forget.
@@Sarasarah3was it genetic? Also sorry about that.
I lost my father young too. I'm so sorry for your loss
Theo always bringing the interesting guests on from walks of life that are constantly surprising.
Love your videos bro!
Thanks! Theo is my personal weakness though. His stuff is insanely funny but also somehow interesting every single time. Something many can't say including me. @@RonnieSang
Hey!!! I know this guy ^^^^^^^ i heard you say Gang Gang! in your immortals of Aveum review last night!!! lol. I was wondering if it was the same "gang". Far and away youre my favorite reviewer man. take care and GANG GANG
You guys should link up for an episode and talk videogames! 🙌
@@ACGreviewsabsolutely man! He's super wholesome!
Both these men are legends, Theo asks the type of questions you would generally ask and nothing but respect to Toby for being super real and giving us a insight into a life of a coroner its very deep, I love the comedic and seriousness of this podcast perfect combination, Theo’s question has me laughing but genuinely thought they were good questions. Toby reminds me of Quinton Tarantino, big him up major respect to him 💪🏽
Yeah, I agree, some of his questions were very legit, like the one "what do you roll up with" asking Tiby what tools does he usually bring with or use on a case.
Theo just asks them really weirdly imo.
If all professionals were like Toby this world would be a better place! What a fantastic, down to earth, genuine guy! And thank you Theo for a wonderful interview! I bet you 2 have become firm friends!
Theo, my dad killed himself when I was 12. I was beyond difficult and lonely growing up alone with my mom. Had hard times. Alcoholic drinking, dui’s, and problems all over the board. You talking about your dad, and your struggles helps so much. You really help people. Gang gang baby.
I hope u alright man
That's tough
Childhood trauma is no joke, I hope you're doing well man.
Gang gang boy!! Keep your head up baby we all here for you dawg.
Gang gang. Glad you got through it homie!
gang gang brother, i’m glad you’re still here with us and keep on keeping on
Theo got the coolest Coroner there is!! I like this dude!! They have great chemistry. It’s not easy to match Theo’s energy but he does it.
It's gotta be a Louisiana thing cuz they were clickin 🤞🏾💯
Opposite kinda energies combining so well
@micaiahforde6229 yeah I loved the parts where their accents both got really strong, like when they were talking about how common drinking & driving is down there 😂
@@billie-roseglenie2992
Nothing about their energies are opposite
The simple yet interesting conection between these two makes this conversation go so fluidly. Theo has incredible ability to create bits from really bizzare scenes. I had a feeling that coroner really expressed the gruesome reality of the job and that Theo alchemized it in a way through his comedic craft...
THEO!! I lost my older brother to a sudden widow maker heart attack he was young fit that man ate healthy every day he ran around and played frisbee golf and hockey since he was a teenager I don’t think you could pinch an inch and he was gone one day that was it.
So I being her sister freaked out ran around to some heart specialist and I found out that there was a test called a CAC CALCIUM TEST.
I scored a zero and it’s such a relief when you get your test results because even if it was 100 that I scored they would put me on immediate medicine and I won’t just fall dead the next day!
Please everybody that reads this please please please go get tested it’s so easy it’s in a hospital setting most of them you go inside a CT scan machine and you’re in and out in like 15 minutes it will save lives.
PLEASE go get one and tell everyone you love!
Theo is genuinely curious and respectable. His comedy shines through but you can tell he takes this serious. Good job!
This is the best style of podcast Theo. Authenticity reigns supreme in captivating an audience. Thanks, Theo!
My favourite episode yet…
These are always the best ones. Comedians talking to comedians about comedy is so played out...
This was the absolute best guest you've had on your podcast. I hope you get to do a ride along and vlog some of it. Would be absolutely fascinating.
That Kat Von D photo during the cats eating bodies discussion was TOO FUNNY!!!
We need more everyday people on the podcast, Theo!!
hes interviewed a turker farmer, a mortician , a trauma restoration guy, an ex cop, ex border patrol, animal control guy, bryan callen, a woman trucker, a salesman at a gun store he went to, a plumber, a blind woman, and maybe more
I thought Bryan Callen was the woman trucker. Kidding, she's tougher.
Can’t forget about Santa Claus. Counts as a celebrity, but also an everyday guy because… well most of us know, but I don’t want to potentially ruin anyone’s day if they haven’t heard.
Yes! these are my favorite. Actors & comedians are cool but they always end up “talking shop” which is nothing relatable for most listeners.
He does them pretty regularly. They’re always my favorite ones too
When Theo starts grinding his teeth, you know that boys serious
He's back on that yayo
The mortician podcast is by far one of my favourites of Theo’s, rewatched it recently and this is the perfect follow up!
'Louisiana Last Responders' is such a slapping slogan for his coroner's office.
Theo is one of the best interviewers there is, his questions, answers and interactions are so simplistic yet always on point and entertaining. "Postmordadela" c'mon 😂🤣
I laughed so hard and loud it made my daughter jump and give me the bombastic side eye lmao 😂😂 and bro just breezed right past it lol respect 😂❤
This makes me want to go cut the grass at all the abandoned houses in my neighborhood, maybe I'll get lucky.
Baptism at Arby’s had me dying 😂
@@Dragonpixilll.was this sentence AI generated? Who tf actually says “bombastic side eye” ?
Down to earth and real Theo interviewing the same type of people is unique 🩷✅✅🩷✅🩷
That was an awesome pod, more guests like Toby! Podcasts tend to be an endless loop of celebs interviewing other celebs in a circuit. The more interesting, regular folks you interview the more relatable it is, which is way more engaging to the audience.
"Say Im gonna die, right?" 😂😂😂 honestly not only is Theo a funny guy, but he is an amazing interviewer.
He literally asked “how do we trick you so we can get away with murder?!” 😂
12 months sober in sept from fentanyl and im about to see your show before then. i hope that those watching this struggling, especially younger ones like myself, can be reached by this or at least become more educated on this situation. i fell into a bad crowd way too young and started using just before there was a lot of coverage on fentanyl to the general public and i think knowing the risks before would’ve saved me before i even needed saving. watching the pod is always inspiring and im glad I’m still here to celebrate my sobriety and see your shows man. god bless
Blessings to you!
proud of you !! congratulations!💓
Congrats! Keep it going ❤🙌🏼
My longest of friends wife is a morgue photographer, it wasn't till she told me that she sees 30+ week overdose with meth containing fentanyl that I realized !!!!!meth contains fentanyl!!!!!...and I was a high functioning addict. Trying to get into nursing.
I thought it was only an issue with heroin. I've never been that ignorant. That day I 100% stopped. 2 plus months going strong without that roulette in my life.😊
Yea stay away from the bad influence. You are the company you keep.
This dude was so candid & CLEARLY is cut from the same block as Theo. They had a great natural flow to their conversation.
It's one (wonderful) guest....but you get the experience of hundreds. A healthy mix of dark humor, empathy and introspection.
Love you Theo! Such a great episode. Please keep interviewing normal people, no one cares about celebrity interviews anymore. That genre is so saturated, I don’t see anyone doing what you do! Keep it up brother. Gang.
Theo was noticeably unbiased and nuanced in his approach to all the stuff they talked about. It really shows honest intent and a genuine curiosity that makes for great interviews. I love how he has random ass guests from different walks of life just to see what they're all about. I have to admit I'm like beyond impressed with the level of professionalism Theo has taken this comedy podcast to. Dude's killin it.
Far more natural than normal. It's great to see. 🤘👍
Lost my little brother December 2022 to a fent overdose. It’s a serious problem that I feel isn’t talked about enough. Y’all stay safe out there
I lost my little brother on Thanksgiving 2022 to the same thing. I'm really sorry for your loss. :(
@@hell.raisinsSorry for your loss as well. Hope you and your loved ones are doing alright.
@@deadmenace7098i know this is probably out of pocket but was it a fake perc or xanax
I lost both of my little brothers in May 2021. Sorry we're all in this club together - but it's better for us to talk about it
@@TheLastSecretGardenHope you’re doing better, and you’re right always helps to know there are people to talk with ❤
This was a great guest. And I always appreciate Theo’s humility that allows him to ask great questions.
Vermilion Parish resident here. This was, in my Cajun opinion, the most interesting interview I’ve ever heard! Louisiana Proud, Louisiana Strong!!!!
I had a dear friend that cleaned up after crime scenes. We lived in Lake Charles, LA. He died from a motorcycle accident during the spring…lots of interesting info during this interview. Anyway, he told me he went down to NOLA when the hurricane hit to help clean up. He said he quit after it; the amount of bodies he cleaned was enough for that career for him. Just an interesting tid bit y’all spoke on
RIP Nick
R i.p. shout to lake Charles brother and true detective season 1 was filmed around there I think
@@justinnoceda2115 One of the murders in the show took place in Lake Charles. I don't know if the show itself was filmed there specifically
This dude has incredible wit and timing lol. No cap, id listen to a weekly pod with just these two
1:32:30 I didn’t know I had the literal exact taste in music as a coroner lol. I absolutely love that Theo knows who Alice In Chains is :) best band of all time🤘🏼 Fr props to Theo for being a really good interviewer, he actually lets the man talk while he listens. Props to the coroner for being such an insightful stand up guy too. All good wholesome vibes here.
As an addict (10 months clean after almost 16yrs) I used to do heroin. In New Orleans it was almost overnight when fentanyl was here and then I remember it was like someone snapped their fingers and all the “fentanyl” (who even knows for sure what is what) disappeared and the last time I did drugs I had to be hospitalized and they asked me what I did? I said dope/heroin and they said NOTHING, absolutely nothing was showing up on any drug screen. The dr then proceeded to explain to me that they are faking the fentanyl and I was not the only person who had experienced this. They said it was creating a new problem because the drug tests are coming back negative when people are very obviously on something.
13 minutes in and Theo’s cracking me up. “And do you look for the arms or you just kinda put a note like ‘keep an eye out for arms’ or whatever?” 💪🏼💪🏼🤣
Hey Theo I worked in Attica Prison 2004-2017. Love to tell y'all all about it! Unreal and yet absolutely saw the worst the US prison system has to offer. These real people interviews are the best. Actually doing the jobs is better than any second hand news...or msm to explain things ..God bless and thanks for always coming with the real deal .... ✌️
I second this must of been wild. I used to work at rikers island, wonder how they compare
@@VinSantangelo Not as wild as Rikers.....I don't think much compares....Glad You made it! 🙏
I hope Theo contacts you... sounds interesting and I'd tune in
Did not expect this to be one of the best podcast episodes I have seen. Loved Toby and wierdly also the topic. What a hero and a great man! Nothing but respect for anyone doing his job, I think we all need to hear from people who sees what is killing us so we can prevent a lot of deaths. Thank you Toby and Theo ❤
What a cool conversation. I really enjoyed this episode. Thanks Toby and thanks Theo!
I find a weird sense of comfort in seeing how much respect Toby has for his job and makes me feel more comfortable for when I die there will be someone to take care of my body. I never realized this was even a job, but I guess it is just so obvious I didn't see it.
Yo Theo, I have a pretty heavy personal experience with the “Tianeptine” stuff y’all mentioned around 1:44:16.
A close friend of my fiancée died, it basically took away my late childhood, and tore so many lives apart here in Alabama & surrounding states. This is the first time I’ve ever heard it being mentioned publicly like this. The doctors don’t know about, paramedics, rehabs, etc. nobody talks about this stuff. Has to be the most difficult thing I’ve ever been through, but I overcame it & took control. The fact that no one talks about it makes you feel alone. You guys bringing awareness to it on this big of a platform is the first time I’ve felt heard in years. Keep doing what you’re doing. Just another reason this is my favorite podcast. Gang gang.
I've heard about it from Reddit, sounds horrible! Good on you for overcoming that demon!
Sorry for my ignorance but what is that
@@Citycityyywikipedia says it's a kinda shitty antidepressant that binds to the opioid receptors in ur brain thereby inducing opioid like effects
@Citycityyy it's an antidepressant and I don't think it's allowed in the US any more.
@@Coonass oh ok ok, never heard of it
This was such a good interview. Heart breaking and warming at the same time.
Thank you Theo and Toby! That was such a great episode! I enjoy when you visit with genuine people - when people are putting out to much pretense it’s not the same vibe as you -we love you!
So happy to see that you are succeeding by just being you, a weekly inspiration of positivity in many of our lives, thanks theo
Its uncanny how no matter what crazy shit Theo says, the guy just rolls with it like he hears this everyday. You can tell that they share a common background with how at ease they are talking to each other. I'm this way when I reconnect with someone from my hometown even though I haven't lived there in 40 years. Great episode.
I’m from the same area of Louisiana as the coroner and this is how most people from the area are. It is the culture.
“Yeah, we got the meat, huh?”
Lmfao I absolutely love this dude
When he was talking about the girl in the freezer at Arby’s and he said “ we got the meat Huh
“ had me rolling 😂😂😂
He is a great conversationalist! Loved this and found it so fascinating. More of these kinds of podcasts please!
Thank you for doing these types of interviews with non-famous people, Theo. Thoroughly enjoy them.
This was a fascinating interview. I could sit and listen to a coroner share his stories all day.
This was so interesting! Thank you for the candid conversation. I was born in New Orleans & grew up on the North Shore. I have been living in Oklahoma for over 25 years and I just love to hear y'all talk with the accents from back home! ❤ Theo, "the Lord's Braille" comment had me laughing at loud! 😆
Hope Theo knows how much he helps people feel better with his comedy. Making my dull morning much better. Much love Theo.
I love when theo has guests like this on. This dude was respectful and on point and also had a sense of humor even though he has a terribly difficult job. Much love from Florida 💪🏻🙏🏻
These interviews with knowledgeable people having normal lives, getting the day to day explained and stories are amazing but yet eye opening. All respects to you theo and fellow workers all around. Keeps the world moving .
Great episode, idk why but I’ve always been intrigued by this field, and I would do a ride along. Such an important job that just goes unnoticed and unappreciated, but so needed. Have a lot of respect for these men and women
Theo can make the creepiest talk into a children's chit-chat and I love that.
I’m pretty sure Toby knows how to live! Super informative, transparent, and funny. Theo is getting all the answers for the questions I wanna know!
What an incredible person this man is ❤ To have such a job that would completely unravel soo many. He handles it with such professionalism and understanding and is still quick to laugh & seems to have such a big heart! Thank you for your service Mr. Coroner. And I pray you won't pull me out of any body of water someday! 😬
Theo speaks out his intrusive thoughts “he looks like a Simpsons character” 22:41 … “he does…” 😭😭
This guy was a really interesting guest and has a great sense of humor! Lovely to see the positivity in the comments as well ❤
How good is theo's hit rate with guests? He just manages to have the best folks on.. great pod once again
Don’t you hear this guys accent? He’s obviously a very bad person.

This interview made it better for a min so thank you to Toby and Theo. God Bless him and all the lives he touches.
"Good for her... They'd been married for far too long." 😂. Love to see these two finding humour without making light of the subject.
