@@AstroBear11 Precisely my thoughts as well. But I think that goes hand in hand with the trauma their passing on unknowingly. Coming from generations of emotional neglect and abuse is hard to realize, and like you said, even more difficult to admit. Hopefully we can implement the changes we want to see in the generations to come, all while fucking up in ways we didn't know possible until we see the adverse effects our decisions have on future generations.
Theo is healing generational trauma and his family is gonna thrive in ways he can’t imagine #gang his lady is being brought to him in a divine stork or however that works.
You’re brave for sharing such personal thoughts and feelings. Your podcasts have gotten me through some of the darkest times. Never be afraid to speak from the heart. Your fans connect with you in a special way because of how open you are. I hope you get to where you wanna be emotionally, speaking will always help with that.
Same brother, I’m off the paint thinner, inmproving my spirituality , finishing off my Iraq demons and flourishing in my final relationship, time to move UPSSSSTAAAIRSSS my fellow brethren 🙏🏼 much love to you all, stay strong in these times of a dark narrative, life is a blessing.🙌🏼
Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people because an upsetting event occurs in their lives taking them by surprise, unexpectedly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death. While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the war, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes. Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way. It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......
It takes a strong ass man to get on here and be honest with himself in front of the world wide web brother. Those happy people you see are facing demons just like everyone else they just choose to smile through it. We love you man and this brings your gang gang that much closer to ya.
"i cant pretend anymore that im not where im at" i love it.. the past is not the past when it affects my present. about 2 years into recovery i realized how often 6 year old caitlin was trying to handle 23 year old caitlins problems. my kid solutions dont work for adult problems. learning a new way of life is far easier than unlearning all the off teachings, all the answers we made up, all the blanks we filled in that our parents couldnt or wouldnt. its sounds like youre facing your fears theo... ive also always been scared of what people will think if they see the real me. that they will leave, but the truth is i leave myself. i check out and fall into all those obsessions too so im already getting relief before potential pain. i am so moved by how vulnerable you are. i remember the first podcast i ever saw you cry, i was like whoa. fucking whoa. i didnt grow up with tender or soft moments with men. its so relieving to see. im so proud of you. it gets better. thank you for inspiring me to keep fighting the good fight.. keep healing the soul. fucking GANG
I'll tell you what, a lot of comedians try to get real about their feelings on their pods but it always becomes a bit or a joke at some point. I struggle with addiction, depression and even anger. But when Theo talks, I listen. He comes straight from the mind and heart, not just what we need to hear but exactly how he feels it in his own wild way. He has gotten me through some very difficult days. We need to protect this man at all costs. He is truly a national treasure.
"A lot of people loved me, but *I* didn't love me, and I didn't know what was going on." Whoooo, that cut straight to the core, brother. This whole episode was powerful. So touching, so real, and so funny. Thank you for this.
This is your best show! Thank you for being open and honest this is what the world needs! Your MOM is like that from her own abuse and childhood traumas…..I know I was that mom….I hate admitting it but I didn’t know how to hug or love on my children once they got past the infant stage. I just never had it myself from abuse and trauma I didn’t trust anyone or myself to be love or accept love. Forgive your mom….most of all forgive yourself it will set you free. I forgave my mom and then myself and my life has changed a million times over for the best! Never give up.

“It’s like your heart gets to talk” is the best way and the simplest way I’ve ever heard psychedelics explained. Theo thank you for speaking your TRUTH!!!! It Helps Brothers like you and I out here that have previously or currently struggling with the Dark Arts. Keep Being You And you’ll find what you are looking for, I promise you that.
I can’t even explain how badly I needed this video. Gang gang brother you are steady saving people just trying to save yourself! You are an amazing person and truly one of a kind!
Theo, man, we’ve had a very similar childhood. I’m still in my 20s & you talking about this is really expediting a lot of realizations for me. The way you word things really hits home for me & I’m super appreciative of you for talking about. Love you man. Gang bro.
I'm a grown man, sitting here crying. Theo talks to me like he knows me, and it just feels like someone understands me for once. Needed this cry, and I know where you're coming from, Theo.
The amount of humanity in every minute of this episode is powerful stuff. Dang. Theo said “I got tears in my eyes and bar bells in my hands and that’s just who I’ve always been…” wow.
I’m 22 mins in and crying. I’ve never heard anyone put how I feel about my father into words so perfectly. Thank you Theo for sharing. You are making a difference in so many peoples lives
The opening monologue about his mom has me bawling like a baby. I recently lost my father and this is exactly how I feel about our relationship. I still haven’t gone through the grieving process but this may have been what I needed to get that started. Thank you Theo. And don’t think these feelings make you less of anything. They actually make you a more well rounded man. And if I can overcome, I know you can brother. Be well and remember to always push yourself for excellence in all your endeavors
I am sorry for your loss brother. My wife is going through the same thing. She lost her father to suicide in December. Stay strong man. People are here for you!
If you take nothing else away from this episode... be present for your children. Hug them,comfort them. Talk to them. Be reliable. They need you more than you know or think.
I can't stress enough how much genuine love and admiration I have for theo. It felt like I was going through hell in January. I got my first panick attack, got the virus, then kept having this weird sensation in my chest, I constantly feel like I have to take in a deep breath in to fully feel like I'm getting enough air. Still dealing with it now. Doctors do their best, but it's like I can't get a clear answer to what's wrong with me, then I thought about theo. Is this how he felt for years? All this hopelessness like it's never going to get better. So I hope theo feels better. Still trying to find answers for my problems, I want to quit some days, but if the ratking hasn't quit, no way I'm gonna do it. Love you theo, thank you for all that you do, gang gang!
Very weird I had the same sensation at work the other day, not being able to take a deep breath. It's definitely a scary feeling. Hope you feel better soon!
@@nicholascampbell90 I can take a breath, I can breathe fine, but I have to constantly take in a deep breath in order to feel like I'm get enough air. It comes in waves. Thanks man I appreciate it, hope you're doing well too.
@@chivitobanana dam man but my thing is weird, it's not shortness of breathe, I breath fine but I always feel like I have to take in a really deep breath. But thank you for commenting, let's me know maybe I'm just tripping and this will get better with time. I hope you're feeling better and find a solution. Keep pushing, take care
@@CezaMVO that’s 100% anxiety. It’s a disconcerting symptom that then leads you to get more of the same symptom! Anxiety fuels anxiety. Been there for over 10 years myself but have a medication called and setraline, changed my life forever. You’ll get on top of it man x
@@genuinematt8020 dam man thats what the doctor keep telling me but it's such a specific feeling, it feels like something else maybe cojestion. They gave me anxiety medicine so I guess I'll take that and see where it goes, thanks man I appreciate it. I'm glad you got better.
When you’re talking from the heart, your listeners appreciate it even more. Thanks for raising awareness of this as I know many people feel the same. Blessings.

It hurts me to think one of the most talented, intelligent, hilariously funny person I've ever encountered doesn't want to live anymore. I can absolutely relate with the mother thing. My mother didn't have the tools to love and I always thought it must be me that's wrong. It deeply effects you for life. Love you Theo.
Theo, thanks for speaking out on your personal experiences. This is really brave, and I hope it helps you on your recovery talking to other people about it, this stuff has to be talked about so people know they aren't alone.
I love when Theo talks about this stuff because when he does it makes me feel like I'm not alone. I think most people like Theo, myself and anyone else that has been forced to create themselves from nothing with no guidance and learn right from wrong all by themselves through trial and error feel very alone. This is why they have to find groups and go to meetings because most people around you are happy and don't want you to bring them down or at least this is how you feel. You feel shame like your a rain cloud so your forced to keep it all in because you don't want to make things awkward. My whole life I've ran into a handful of people I can relate to and Im 29 not one I've met can say they have been through anything close to what I've been through not that its a contest for some reason its just hard to find those people. Theo is one of those people, kind of like a rare Pokémon. We love you Theo thanks for sharing your story brother, people need to hear it. Gang Gang.
The way Theo feels about his mom is the exact way I feel about my dad. It’s not ur fault at all bro; our parents just don’t know how to show affection because of the way they were raised.
True! They just muscled through because it wasn't cool to talk about this stuff. It's good if you can see what YOU see & not just go on blaming/resenting them. Helps nothing.
Same here man, my dad never gave me any form of live or showed me how to love properly. I'm almost 30 and all these life lessons hitting hard af, got me down as all hell. Keep going man be easy on yourself
I feel like you were speaking my deepest inner thoughts that I wasn't even aware that I had.... Thank you for helping me through some stuff today, Theo. Much love from China.
Theo you’re clearing generational trauma! Good for you! You won’t pass this onto your kids! That is beautiful, what you realized about your mom and her incapacity to give what her dad didn’t give her perhaps
Growing up, all i ever wanted was for someone to say that i was their best friend. I never did get it. But, after finding the woman of my dreams and having a blast with her it made me realize that i found my best friend. Been married 17 years now, still feels like the first week. Granted there are trials and tribulations, i wouldn't have wanted to go through them with anyone else.
My dude nothing but major love. You are not alone and now, neither am I. Thank you. You mean the world to me. Making friends with other Theo tribe members. Just being you is a true gift. Man a thousand words… boiled down to two. Thank you.
Theo I am so happy that you chose to share all this. I've been feeling extremely lost myself for a while but finally feel like I'm getting on proper footing. I think sometimes we forget what it means to be human because we get so wrapped up in the superficiality of the world around us. This shit is real, it's raw, and it's not meant to be easy. You've helped me to feel okay about feeling like shit. Forever thankful I found this podcast. Gang gang
Theo I love you man. You’ve helped me through too many dark times. Your outlook on life is so pure dude. Please don’t change. Got real tears rn typing this because I know what place your in. I’m there all the time!! But I literally watch you to get my head in a different space when I’m down. You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be big dog. 🗣IM UPSTAIRSSSS
My heart feels for you Theo. I've been to that dark place many times in my life and often felt I couldn't dig myself out of it. Keep that head held high and embrace the beautiful things in life. You inspire us all and I appreciate very much you sharing your raw feelings here. Much love man
Man so much fucking respect to you Theo for being this vulnerable and willing to share openly about your mental health. You have no idea how helpful it is to hear a man speak about such topics so candidly. Remember, keep your eyes to the sky never glued to your shoe. God bless
Thank you. This Man has taken us around the world in his travels,taken us through his issues, ❤️🙏 therapy,and progress,did a podcast from a truck,wiped his eye with a dirty sock when he was going through it,shared his unique sense of humor and philanthropy. Then says he's hard to pet,and next he's interviewing,Hulk Hogan,Tim Dillon or Jordan Peterson. There's no one like him. I'm not the best at expression,but I've learned from Theo,to take time and understand how to process what your experiencing. Love the music in his spirit!!❤❤❤ Just want to say thanks a million Theo.Your the best baby!!!
Dayumn bruh, coming at us with that deep felt hitter. I respect your courage, truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing such a personal experience with us. Inspires others to face themselves. Be good to yourself Theo, we need ya! Gang Gang (I’m not crying, you’re crying)
I needed this Theo, I've been helping my grandmother with dementia for the last 8 months and her kidneys are failing. They're sending her home with hospice and gave her 7-14 days, I just needed this brother. That last song you played hit me hard 🙏
The world needs more of this. Vulnerability at its finest. Such a pure form of communication. I hope to meet you one day and give you a damn hug. Gang baby, praise God.
Theo watching this tonight was like therapy. All of us that love your comedy, love your honestly & your heart are just like the young lady during your Ayahuasca experience. We are all sitting with you. We are here together because of you!
This needs way more views and shares, the message and story Theo shares is so real and raw, and beautiful. The encouragement to the man who relapsed, loving your kids, real emotion. Thank you Theo, much love brother Gang Gang
"Don't beat yourself up lift yourself up" Theo von, thanks for being so honest and transparent with your struggles, God knows we all got them to some extent, gang gang brother
Sharing a kind, hilariously unique mind with us is already a gift. Then you find out he's dishing out all this love and laughter despite not getting it while growing up. That's beautiful work.
THISSSS 😭 it makes me appreciate him so much more and realize why I relate to him so hard. Always covering up that darkness by making others feel good ✨
This is your awakening Theo this is exactly how it unfolds let all those emotions out work on them one at a time until the start to fade away…forgive them all forgive you. You are taking the right steps to the real you! It will be Theo 4.0 ….you will see. Enjoy the journey
Hey, Theo, my name's Josh, and I'm from Buffalo. I just discovered you and your comedy this past year, and I gotta say you have no idea how much joy you have brought into my life with your comedy in such a short period of time, or how many days you've gotten me through. When I hear you talking about a lot of the emotional stuff you've been going through, it really hurts me, bro, because I feel like I've gone through a lot of the exact same things. I know this is just some message I'm writing as a total stranger to you and you'll probably never chance to notice it, but I want you to know I love you man (no homo), and I need you to hang in there. The world needs you--now more than ever. And as of right here and now, you're officially invited up to Buffalo next season to tailgate with me and the rest of the #BillsMafia and go to a game. Maybe you and Brendan would come up here and party. idk. I have some ideas I think would help you out with your troubles. If not--keep up the genius work, brother, and keep the faith. Peace.
Theo, been listening to you for 3 years. I love your story and how you inspire! Keep shining your light in all the ways you are. Appreciate your voice each and every time.
I can't even begin to describe how much I relate to what you're talking about, Theo. You're taking the words out of my mouth. As the youngest of 3, growing up with a single mom, my mom never really gave me the love that I felt I needed. I suffer from the same type of depression and feelings that you do brother. It's hard for me to accept love but just know that you're not alone. You talking about this helps out a lot of people, including me. When you talk about stuff like this, I choke up, because I hope to one day overcome it as well. Sending lots of love from Belgium. Take care brother.
Empathy man. When u had caregivers who never really were present mentally/emotionally with u, especially when u felt alone/upset.. Thats a gift that keeps on giving. But thats also why theos such an extraordinary wounded healer; this very podcast makes me feel So much empathy/like im not alone. Theos strength is in what he lacked growing up.
Brother, my mom is the same way. She raised me and tried to comfort me as a child, but there was just never a connection. I found that comfort in my wife at a young age. I always felt alone until I met her.
You are not alone Theo, I had a similar relationship with my mom. Never an I love you or a hug, it was hurtful and traumatic and left me with severe trust issues. I want all the love but it's hard for me to believe people care. I can tell that you care, and you have the best heart that shines through...#stayupstairs
Thank you theo, that was definately the right thing to share in the beginning.. I have been in and out of hospital the last few months struggling through really bad depression and alot of that is ptsd and traumas that happened to me, but alot is from my mum too so what you said really resonated with me. I've been watching videos of you and they always cheer me up and have kept the black dog at bay.. you are so valued and loved 💜 Thank you for being so authentic and brave enough to share your struggles so others can feel less alone in their own struggles xx
I had myself a good little breakdown last night. I had time for this podcast this morning and let me tell you I NEEDED THIS BADLY. Thank you Theo. Seems like it meant a lot to a whole lot of people not just me. Xoxoxo take care
I Am literally driving around listening to your podcast cause it makes me feel like I got a friend and someone who feels like I do in secret. And now it doesn’t have to be a secret. You’re more honest with me than most people I’m related to 👀
You ever need someone to talk to reach out I’d be glad to listen, cause I’m in the same boat and I know holding it in at least for me puts me in a Terrible head space that my kids don’t deserve
Theo thank you for baring your soul about your relationship with your mother and getting off antidepressants. I have been through a similar struggle and it takes a real man to open up and grapple with his issues. Praying for you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Gang gang
Theo, I just want to tell you I love and support you brother. You have been doing great work in stand up and in podcast. Keep up the good work and keep doing what you're doing.
Each time you said "I don't know if I shoulda shared all this" I thank you ten times more for sharing. I can only speak for myself, but many people have the same feelings as you, me included. Were all human beings at the core, no matter millionaires, famous, celebrities. To hear you feeling the same gives me strength to keep striving to be better and fight that internal demon like you are everyday. Thanks for being genuine, thanks for being human, thanks for making a true difference. Supporting you through it all and hoping your transparency can help many others.
Just came from doing some spiritual calf raises with other men in recovery. Check my phone and I get that fresh Theo hitter, praise God. Thank you for your service, brother. Gang.
Thank you for sharing this with us. I'm in a similar position, i just became aware of how my mom abandoning me and that lack of love as a child has affected me. I coped with porn for 15 years, I think i have fabricated a sense of intimacy through it, it's ruined my life and i'm so glad i've woken up to it recently. Thanks for sharing Theo. It does so much knowing i'm not alone.
Im so glad you shared this, Im currently trying to navigate a similar situation and you step back and see how far you've fallen or strayed from yourself, you realize how lost you are and start building the road home. Knowing how far youve come and still struggle with this. I realize being human applies to all humans. My Mom only recently started saying "love", my dad never says it and growing up poor in a dysfunctional family, never being told everything will be ok, thats why everything feels broken all the time.
Fuck you have no idea how much I needed to hear this right now man. Been on. Areal downward spiral these last few months, my business has gone down the drain and I realized how much of my identity was paired with what I did for a living. My childhood was very similar to yours, I've come to terms with the fact that my parents didn't have the tools to be able to give me what I needed, I don't harbor any resentment, but we also don't have a relationship. I never really heard someone explain it the way you did. I really appreciate you putting yourself out there like this. Congrats on taking this step to feeling better, Ayahuasca is a giant leap and psychedelics in general have really helped me through a lot of trauma that I've held onto. For what it's worth I'm proud of you man, such a beautiful and tragic experience at the same time I'm sure.
🙏 This episode hits me on a cellular level. Thank you for sharing your story! I appreciate your courage to keep trying, and your ability to be open with your experiences, it is helpful for others going through it too. We are not alone. 💙 Thank You Brother!!!
Crying feeling so emotional at his response to one of the callers and he slips in “don’t name the crotch” when listing things you love about your kids and I start laughing so hard while tears are streaming. Only Theo man only Theo. 😂 great episode.
Human connection. Men being self aware. This is the beginning of the best change in history. Love this 🥰 you will grow because of this self reflection support. This is so real, so human. I needed this today.
This was beautiful and highly appreciated. You are loved by all of us who support you brother. We don’t know you but feel like we know you and we love you for that. God bless you Theo
Your looking for something that isn't there. U can't Fix what's not broken. You aren't broken. Don't waste your life trying to be someone else. Being honest with yourself is the first step. Atleast this has helped me.
It’s the lack of emotional availability Theo, I had the same experience with my parents when I grew up. Both of my parents had a severe lack of emotional availability for myself and my brother, and on top of that my mother was severely indoctrinating her children. I remember I was crying about something dumb when I was a child and my dad just laughed at me and called me a pussy. I never learned how to receive affection or love, which effected most of my relationships until I found a girl who taught me how to love and how to receive and give affection. I’m eternally grateful to her because before that I couldn’t even cuddle her because I just felt weird about it. Maybe you need to find someone real who will teach you how to love, I actually found my girlfriend on Tinder, believe it or not. Don’t go for materialistic people, you have to just find someone real and caring. Also I have to say that a self therapy session I had on MDMA completely changed me as a man.
Theo your a modern day OG! Your setting the groundwork to help many young people. You have a gift of speaking in a way that people can relate and it’s because you speaking truth ! Keep doing what you do… gang gang .
Tears in our eyes and barbells in our hands! Thank you for this medicine, Theo. Glad to hear you're taking care. May all the love you send out find it's way back to you. Way to keep it moving... Gang Gang!
Hey Theo . Just a quick message to say best podcast you’ve done that I can remember ! Sounds like the Ayahuasca thing really helped! All the best , Mike
The day we realize our parents are just broken human beings too, can be heartbreaking. Sending you love and strength, Theo.
@@AstroBear11 Precisely my thoughts as well. But I think that goes hand in hand with the trauma their passing on unknowingly. Coming from generations of emotional neglect and abuse is hard to realize, and like you said, even more difficult to admit.

@@lvciiidmusic9076 😂😂😂😂 gang gang fam
That first sentence has such heavy truth. I remember when I first realized it about my dad. Pretty life changing and sad.
It's a Jordan Peterson quote...
You’re brave for sharing such personal thoughts and feelings. Your podcasts have gotten me through some of the darkest times. Never be afraid to speak from the heart. Your fans connect with you in a special way because of how open you are. I hope you get to where you wanna be emotionally, speaking will always help with that.
Hell yeah Matty! I concur! ❤️
Fishing for a like from Theo, heard.

Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people because an upsetting event occurs in their lives taking them by surprise, unexpectedly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death.
While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the war, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes.
Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way.
It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......

It takes a strong ass man to get on here and be honest with himself in front of the world wide web brother. Those happy people you see are facing demons just like everyone else they just choose to smile through it. We love you man and this brings your gang gang that much closer to ya.
Amen
So therapeutic to say things out loud. Theo's fortunate to have that option. To have others benefit from it is priceless.
"i cant pretend anymore that im not where im at" i love it.. the past is not the past when it affects my present. about 2 years into recovery i realized how often 6 year old caitlin was trying to handle 23 year old caitlins problems. my kid solutions dont work for adult problems. learning a new way of life is far easier than unlearning all the off teachings, all the answers we made up, all the blanks we filled in that our parents couldnt or wouldnt. its sounds like youre facing your fears theo... ive also always been scared of what people will think if they see the real me. that they will leave, but the truth is i leave myself. i check out and fall into all those obsessions too so im already getting relief before potential pain. i am so moved by how vulnerable you are. i remember the first podcast i ever saw you cry, i was like whoa. fucking whoa. i didnt grow up with tender or soft moments with men. its so relieving to see. im so proud of you. it gets better. thank you for inspiring me to keep fighting the good fight.. keep healing the soul. fucking GANG
This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. xo
i needed to read this
I relate to you so much with what you said about leaving yourself. Stay strong, sister.
i read your comment the exact time he said it.. just kind of through me for one
Didn't think a podcast could ever go this deep and real. Bravo Theo.
I'll tell you what, a lot of comedians try to get real about their feelings on their pods but it always becomes a bit or a joke at some point. I struggle with addiction, depression and even anger. But when Theo talks, I listen. He comes straight from the mind and heart, not just what we need to hear but exactly how he feels it in his own wild way. He has gotten me through some very difficult days. We need to protect this man at all costs. He is truly a national treasure.
Ok but can that be the last time someone uses the term “national treasure”

"A lot of people loved me, but *I* didn't love me, and I didn't know what was going on." Whoooo, that cut straight to the core, brother. This whole episode was powerful. So touching, so real, and so funny. Thank you for this.
I needed this podcast. I related way to well with my parents “emotional autism”. Tore me apart for years. You are not alone.
This is your best show! Thank you for being open and honest this is what the world needs!
Your MOM is like that from her own abuse and childhood traumas…..I know I was that mom….I hate admitting it but I didn’t know how to hug or love on my children once they got past the infant stage. I just never had it myself from abuse and trauma I didn’t trust anyone or myself to be love or accept love. Forgive your mom….most of all forgive yourself it will set you free. I forgave my mom and then myself and my life has changed a million times over for the best! Never give up.
Thanks for giving Theo this perspective I hope he sees this commenr

Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people because an upsetting event occurs in their lives taking them by surprise, unexpectedly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death.
While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite.

“It’s like your heart gets to talk” is the best way and the simplest way I’ve ever heard psychedelics explained. Theo thank you for speaking your TRUTH!!!! It Helps Brothers like you and I out here that have previously or currently struggling with the Dark Arts. Keep Being You And you’ll find what you are looking for, I promise you that.
He always has a unique take and view on things with such good analogies
All manner of wickedness poureth from the heart
Even that damn fake greenery was trying to reach out and hug u.thats how good this episode is
Hahaha good catch brudda
Same... Theo was hungry for affection in that moment then said " GAWWWDDD LEAVE ME ALONNNNEEEAH" 🤣🌿🌿🌾
I can’t even explain how badly I needed this video. Gang gang brother you are steady saving people just trying to save yourself! You are an amazing person and truly one of a kind!
Theo has one of the most non-toxic and incredible comment sections I’ve ever seen. Special people
Theo, man, we’ve had a very similar childhood. I’m still in my 20s & you talking about this is really expediting a lot of realizations for me. The way you word things really hits home for me & I’m super appreciative of you for talking about. Love you man. Gang bro.

20s Gang, baby.
29 and feeling like 30s won't be so bad.
I'm a grown man, sitting here crying. Theo talks to me like he knows me, and it just feels like someone understands me for once. Needed this cry, and I know where you're coming from, Theo.
Agreed
Go see someone itll help
So tired of seeing the grown man/crying trope. Same kids upvoting it every time.
Spoilers: crying is (hu)manly
Yes. For sure
The amount of humanity in every minute of this episode is powerful stuff. Dang. Theo said “I got tears in my eyes and bar bells in my hands and that’s just who I’ve always been…” wow.
As a mother at this point in my life, it’s tough to hear Theo’s pain. I wish I could give you a big old hug!! Sending love your way!!
When he said "nobody was tickling me or loving me," that broke my heart.
Solo Theo is actually so fucking therapeutic and real

Checked how far I was in the video and yup 22 mins and some tears in
The opening monologue about his mom has me bawling like a baby. I recently lost my father and this is exactly how I feel about our relationship. I still haven’t gone through the grieving process but this may have been what I needed to get that started. Thank you Theo. And don’t think these feelings make you less of anything. They actually make you a more well rounded man. And if I can overcome, I know you can brother. Be well and remember to always push yourself for excellence in all your endeavors
You got this🦋
I am sorry for your loss brother. My wife is going through the same thing. She lost her father to suicide in December. Stay strong man. People are here for you!
The grief never gets smaller. You have to make yourself bigger around it.
Good luck my friend
Peace
Shit son. I'm crying. I wanna reach through the screen and give Theo a hug. We love you man!
If you take nothing else away from this episode... be present for your children. Hug them,comfort them. Talk to them. Be reliable. They need you more than you know or think.
Theo, dude, you’re in your water right here. Helping people, in your own way. That’s your water, Gene.
I can't stress enough how much genuine love and admiration I have for theo. It felt like I was going through hell in January. I got my first panick attack, got the virus, then kept having this weird sensation in my chest, I constantly feel like I have to take in a deep breath in to fully feel like I'm getting enough air. Still dealing with it now. Doctors do their best, but it's like I can't get a clear answer to what's wrong with me, then I thought about theo. Is this how he felt for years? All this hopelessness like it's never going to get better. So I hope theo feels better. Still trying to find answers for my problems, I want to quit some days, but if the ratking hasn't quit, no way I'm gonna do it. Love you theo, thank you for all that you do, gang gang!
Very weird I had the same sensation at work the other day, not being able to take a deep breath. It's definitely a scary feeling. Hope you feel better soon!
@@nicholascampbell90 I can take a breath, I can breathe fine, but I have to constantly take in a deep breath in order to feel like I'm get enough air. It comes in waves. Thanks man I appreciate it, hope you're doing well too.
@@chivitobanana dam man but my thing is weird, it's not shortness of breathe, I breath fine but I always feel like I have to take in a really deep breath. But thank you for commenting, let's me know maybe I'm just tripping and this will get better with time. I hope you're feeling better and find a solution. Keep pushing, take care
@@CezaMVO that’s 100% anxiety. It’s a disconcerting symptom that then leads you to get more of the same symptom! Anxiety fuels anxiety. Been there for over 10 years myself but have a medication called and setraline, changed my life forever. You’ll get on top of it man x
@@genuinematt8020 dam man thats what the doctor keep telling me but it's such a specific feeling, it feels like something else maybe cojestion. They gave me anxiety medicine so I guess I'll take that and see where it goes, thanks man I appreciate it. I'm glad you got better.

It hurts me to think one of the most talented, intelligent, hilariously funny person I've ever encountered doesn't want to live anymore. I can absolutely relate with the mother thing. My mother didn't have the tools to love and I always thought it must be me that's wrong. It deeply effects you for life. Love you Theo.
Theo, thanks for speaking out on your personal experiences. This is really brave, and I hope it helps you on your recovery talking to other people about it, this stuff has to be talked about so people know they aren't alone.
Sincerely,
Winston
When you were talking about blind people beating the truth out of the air with their stick, it made my entire day 😂😂😂
13:05
I laughed so hard.
I don't know anyone that can pull such random, profound, and meaningful references out of thin air and be so damn funny, truly brilliant!
Never in my ENTIRE life, have I ever heard someone refer to fentanyl as, Chinese toothpaste. Theo is so funny without even trying.
I love when Theo talks about this stuff because when he does it makes me feel like I'm not alone. I think most people like Theo, myself and anyone else that has been forced to create themselves from nothing with no guidance and learn right from wrong all by themselves through trial and error feel very alone. This is why they have to find groups and go to meetings because most people around you are happy and don't want you to bring them down or at least this is how you feel. You feel shame like your a rain cloud so your forced to keep it all in because you don't want to make things awkward. My whole life I've ran into a handful of people I can relate to and Im 29 not one I've met can say they have been through anything close to what I've been through not that its a contest for some reason its just hard to find those people. Theo is one of those people, kind of like a rare Pokémon. We love you Theo thanks for sharing your story brother, people need to hear it. Gang Gang.
PTL Theo is finally curing himself instead of taking that never ending anti depressant. Wish ya the best bud.
I need you around, all the time.
Skin disease has ruined most of my 20s and I still laughed out loud driving my car first thing in the morning listening to this.
The way Theo feels about his mom is the exact way I feel about my dad. It’s not ur fault at all bro; our parents just don’t know how to show affection because of the way they were raised.
True! They just muscled through because it wasn't cool to talk about this stuff. It's good if you can see what YOU see & not just go on blaming/resenting them. Helps nothing.
Same here man, my dad never gave me any form of live or showed me how to love properly. I'm almost 30 and all these life lessons hitting hard af, got me down as all hell. Keep going man be easy on yourself
I feel like you were speaking my deepest inner thoughts that I wasn't even aware that I had.... Thank you for helping me through some stuff today, Theo. Much love from China.

This guy puts my exact feelings and life history into words I never could. We have lived such similar lives it’s unbelievable
Theo you’re clearing generational trauma! Good for you! You won’t pass this onto your kids! That is beautiful, what you realized about your mom and her incapacity to give what her dad didn’t give her perhaps
Growing up, all i ever wanted was for someone to say that i was their best friend. I never did get it. But, after finding the woman of my dreams and having a blast with her it made me realize that i found my best friend. Been married 17 years now, still feels like the first week. Granted there are trials and tribulations, i wouldn't have wanted to go through them with anyone else.
You’re my best friend.

Hey, Theo, my name's Josh, and I'm from Buffalo. I just discovered you and your comedy this past year, and I gotta say you have no idea how much joy you have brought into my life with your comedy in such a short period of time, or how many days you've gotten me through. When I hear you talking about a lot of the emotional stuff you've been going through, it really hurts me, bro, because I feel like I've gone through a lot of the exact same things. I know this is just some message I'm writing as a total stranger to you and you'll probably never chance to notice it, but I want you to know I love you man (no homo), and I need you to hang in there. The world needs you--now more than ever. And as of right here and now, you're officially invited up to Buffalo next season to tailgate with me and the rest of the #BillsMafia and go to a game. Maybe you and Brendan would come up here and party. idk. I have some ideas I think would help you out with your troubles. If not--keep up the genius work, brother, and keep the faith. Peace.
Theo man... none of us feel bad for you. But ALL of us are here for you man. You are doing gods work. Keep your head up and ONWARD brother! 🤘🔨🔨🪨
Theo, been listening to you for 3 years. I love your story and how you inspire! Keep shining your light in all the ways you are.
Appreciate your voice each and every time.
I can't even begin to describe how much I relate to what you're talking about, Theo. You're taking the words out of my mouth. As the youngest of 3, growing up with a single mom, my mom never really gave me the love that I felt I needed. I suffer from the same type of depression and feelings that you do brother. It's hard for me to accept love but just know that you're not alone. You talking about this helps out a lot of people, including me. When you talk about stuff like this, I choke up, because I hope to one day overcome it as well.
Sending lots of love from Belgium.
Take care brother.

Empathy man. When u had caregivers who never really were present mentally/emotionally with u, especially when u felt alone/upset.. Thats a gift that keeps on giving. But thats also why theos such an extraordinary wounded healer; this very podcast makes me feel So much empathy/like im not alone. Theos strength is in what he lacked growing up.
Brother, my mom is the same way. She raised me and tried to comfort me as a child, but there was just never a connection. I found that comfort in my wife at a young age. I always felt alone until I met her.
You are not alone Theo, I had a similar relationship with my mom. Never an I love you or a hug, it was hurtful and traumatic and left me with severe trust issues. I want all the love but it's hard for me to believe people care. I can tell that you care, and you have the best heart that shines through...#stayupstairs

I Am literally driving around listening to your podcast cause it makes me feel like I got a friend and someone who feels like I do in secret. And now it doesn’t have to be a secret. You’re more honest with me than most people I’m related to 👀
You ever need someone to talk to reach out I’d be glad to listen, cause I’m in the same boat and I know holding it in at least for me puts me in a Terrible head space that my kids don’t deserve
Theo thank you for baring your soul about your relationship with your mother and getting off antidepressants. I have been through a similar struggle and it takes a real man to open up and grapple with his issues. Praying for you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Gang gang
Theo, I just want to tell you I love and support you brother. You have been doing great work in stand up and in podcast. Keep up the good work and keep doing what you're doing.
You are a genuine man, can't help but love you Theo. Take care of yourself. We stand with you!!
I’m in the process of kicking the meds too. The struggle is real. Thanks for sharing, Theo.
Each time you said "I don't know if I shoulda shared all this" I thank you ten times more for sharing. I can only speak for myself, but many people have the same feelings as you, me included. Were all human beings at the core, no matter millionaires, famous, celebrities. To hear you feeling the same gives me strength to keep striving to be better and fight that internal demon like you are everyday. Thanks for being genuine, thanks for being human, thanks for making a true difference. Supporting you through it all and hoping your transparency can help many others.
Just came from doing some spiritual calf raises with other men in recovery. Check my phone and I get that fresh Theo hitter, praise God.
Thank you for your service, brother. Gang.
Thank you for sharing this with us. I'm in a similar position, i just became aware of how my mom abandoning me and that lack of love as a child has affected me. I coped with porn for 15 years, I think i have fabricated a sense of intimacy through it, it's ruined my life and i'm so glad i've woken up to it recently. Thanks for sharing Theo. It does so much knowing i'm not alone.
I wish I could accurately describe how excited I was to see you pop up in my feed
Im so glad you shared this, Im currently trying to navigate a similar situation and you step back and see how far you've fallen or strayed from yourself, you realize how lost you are and start building the road home. Knowing how far youve come and still struggle with this. I realize being human applies to all humans. My Mom only recently started saying "love", my dad never says it and growing up poor in a dysfunctional family, never being told everything will be ok, thats why everything feels broken all the time.
Fuck you have no idea how much I needed to hear this right now man. Been on. Areal downward spiral these last few months, my business has gone down the drain and I realized how much of my identity was paired with what I did for a living. My childhood was very similar to yours, I've come to terms with the fact that my parents didn't have the tools to be able to give me what I needed, I don't harbor any resentment, but we also don't have a relationship. I never really heard someone explain it the way you did. I really appreciate you putting yourself out there like this. Congrats on taking this step to feeling better, Ayahuasca is a giant leap and psychedelics in general have really helped me through a lot of trauma that I've held onto. For what it's worth I'm proud of you man, such a beautiful and tragic experience at the same time I'm sure.
🙏 This episode hits me on a cellular level. Thank you for sharing your story! I appreciate your courage to keep trying, and your ability to be open with your experiences, it is helpful for others going through it too. We are not alone. 💙 Thank You Brother!!!
Crying feeling so emotional at his response to one of the callers and he slips in “don’t name the crotch” when listing things you love about your kids and I start laughing so hard while tears are streaming. Only Theo man only Theo. 😂 great episode.
The moment he said he was gene I actually started to cry... Theo needs a hug
He’s got a ready and willing hugger if he can make it to Santa Barbara.
Human connection. Men being self aware. This is the beginning of the best change in history. Love this 🥰 you will grow because of this self reflection support. This is so real, so human. I needed this today.
You will be overwhelmed in heaven Theo when you see ALL the people you saved with your honesty.
This was beautiful and highly appreciated. You are loved by all of us who support you brother. We don’t know you but feel like we know you and we love you for that. God bless you Theo
Your looking for something that isn't there.
U can't Fix what's not broken. You aren't broken. Don't waste your life trying to be someone else.
Being honest with yourself is the first step.
Atleast this has helped me.
It’s the lack of emotional availability Theo, I had the same experience with my parents when I grew up. Both of my parents had a severe lack of emotional availability for myself and my brother, and on top of that my mother was severely indoctrinating her children. I remember I was crying about something dumb when I was a child and my dad just laughed at me and called me a pussy. I never learned how to receive affection or love, which effected most of my relationships until I found a girl who taught me how to love and how to receive and give affection. I’m eternally grateful to her because before that I couldn’t even cuddle her because I just felt weird about it. Maybe you need to find someone real who will teach you how to love, I actually found my girlfriend on Tinder, believe it or not. Don’t go for materialistic people, you have to just find someone real and caring. Also I have to say that a self therapy session I had on MDMA completely changed me as a man.
Damn man, I'm sorry you went through all of that. It makes me happy to read that you've found a way out of that darkness. Peace and love to you man.
💙💙💙 I'm glad you found someone who could teach you!

Theo your a modern day OG! Your setting the groundwork to help many young people. You have a gift of speaking in a way that people can relate and it’s because you speaking truth ! Keep doing what you do… gang gang .
Tears in our eyes and barbells in our hands! Thank you for this medicine, Theo. Glad to hear you're taking care. May all the love you send out find it's way back to you. Way to keep it moving... Gang Gang!
somehow Theo's analogies always hit the nail on the head no matter how comedic or odd sounding they may be
Hey Theo . Just a quick message to say best podcast you’ve done that I can remember ! Sounds like the Ayahuasca thing really helped! All the best , Mike
I’m crying right man😮💨 this podcast is everything
I re-visit this video often. Such a moving podcast for someone is struggling with similar ideological/emotional beliefs
