Theo opening up about his relationship with his dad is some of the most authentic podcast content I've ever heard. Especially the whole embarrassment thing - that's therapeutic stuff. It serves as a reminder that we're all just working it out together. Gang gang
Never needed this little hitter more than today. Much love Theo, and to everyone else. Like Theo has said before if you ever feel down just get your feet moving and your mind will follow. We live in a world of endless possibilities but sometimes our thought patterns stick us in a crummy mindset. Keep pushing forward. Onward.
"When I judge someone and keep them away from me... I also keep me away from them. And also idk wtf I'm talking about" dude right when you said that last part I was already thinking how profound of an idea that was and how I never thought about it that way. Even if it sounded dumb superficially it meant a lot to me. You're my favorite poet
Hey Theo! I know I'm just a comment that'll be buried but man just hearing you talk about your life, your experiences with your dad, obviously you've heard it before but I'm thankful for you to talk about things like this. I have a shitty relationship with my father and have began working on coming together after 15+ years and its very difficult. I am wishing the best for you man, I hope that you can be at peace with the things you want to solve and cannot solve, and I know your dad is sitting there watching you knowing you made a good life for yourself, smiling. Hope you have a good one brother!!! Gang gang
All jokes aside, Theo is a truly beautiful speaker and thinker. Sometimes just hearing him talk about his past and what’s on his mind is so reassuring when i’m not feeling okay. A true inspiration.
@@doramos88 Lmao I replied in a Theo voice. Not meaning Joe Biden feeling up on you personally. Lmfao 😂 I was saying this video got feels like a Joe Biden feeling up on ppl does. It went over your head.
You're a good man Theo, you're self reflection and motivation to be better is an inspiration to us all, don't beat yourself up for the past cause we all do things we regret and you've turned out to be a truly wonderful person
Thanks for everything, Theo. Thanks for being real, and for being such an inspirational speaker in this wonderful group. May we all find what brings peace and joy in our lives. #GangGang
i always come back to this episode. the way theo describes how he felt about his father is something i could never put into words. i love you theo and im thankful everyday that i found your podcast
Theo I feel your pain bro... he was such a gentleman, to think that at his age he wanted to bring light to the world by having you and raising you till he passed away at 86 is amazing.
@@adammoye5978 I appreciate thay bruh. For real. I'm doing great and have made my life what I've always wanted it to be. I hope your doing awesome as well brotha.
The fact that you care is more important than you realize theo. You are slowly healing in ways you’d never imagine. You being able to admit these things you’ve done wrong etc is proof of you truly healing inside. We love you brother, gang fuckin gang!
I switched from some progressive meditation to this and I can honestly say, I'm a tad more relaxed just listening to Theo. Ready for that hitter. Gang gang!
Don't give up Josh. A lot of times we just have to meet our dreams half way. Take a walk in the park don't let those pez pops stop ya from being the best. I wish you the will to succeed a higher a journey. Keep seeking that inner joy and your heart will be in the right place. Be good to yourself Josh from MI. Thanks for the show Rat King.
I love how real you are, and how you are aware of yourself. Willing to confront and dig into your layers. I hear so much shame in your words. It is a lot to put so much pressure on your past child self. Kids are kids. It isn't all your fault. You are a human. None of us are perfect, and that is okay. Deep breaths and lots of compassion. Hang in there man.
@@WilliamJarrottdigging and forgiving is for sure great when it is done in a healthy way. We can't hold grudges against our inner child. It creates self hate and shame. Empathy and compassion is so important in healing. I am so glad he isn't afraid to feel those uncomfortable feelings and really address them. Gotta uncover layers of trauma. Dr Gabor Mate is amazingly intriguing when it comes to this. I just hope he knows every day is a new day, and he is well loved, and definitely not alone.
4 years ago I was on a walk in Sefton park listening to this episode on the day it came out when I got the text that I was not accepted into the house share I had applied for. I was homeless at the time, sleeping on my friend's sofa, and I had put all of my hopes on this application going well. I sat on the floor and cried uncontrollably for about half an hour, listening to Theo and his callers, and it just made me feel less alone. That things might be ok. The outro felt like it spoke to me directly. I'll never forget that.
Damn, I'm 33 and my father is 70. I'm the youngest in my family. My father and I have always been so distant. There are many differences between us. I love him and he's the reason why I'm here, he's the reason why I'm strong. Hearing Theo talk about his father and a sense of pride made me realize that I want to get to know my father. I don't even know how to know when it's scary to me but I feel that I'm even more scared the fact that I might not get to know him. Thank you Theo
Love this - Theo's thoughts on judgement and connectedness hit me HARD! Thank you Theo for being so open and honest with your inner-outer dialogue. The best podcast out there.
You are precious Theo. Keep working on things. I hope and pray you will find that special person. She will be a lucky lady. Remember, you are loved and probably more in touch with your heart than most. Give yourself grace.
Theo, I appreciate your vulnerability. I think it's incredibly brave to showcase your emotions because everyone is processing their past and childhood. We all came from somewhere and it's our responsibility to analyze those emotions so we can be better people. Laughter for me is a great way to release emotion and I can applaud your efforts by bridging the community with your craft. You are a true example of embracing change and gratitude.
Theo wears his heart on his sleeve like me. It's not always easy to say but the truth is so important. I'm glad there's a few famous people like Theo keeping it real in this world full of so much bullshit. Laughter and love truly are the best medicine. Hope your having a good day out there!✌💙😎💯
Theo, fragility can be hard to understand when you're a kid. We can't blame ourselves, as we didn't know better. Your father lives in your memories and that's extremely honourable. Thanks for sharing such personal stories brother
gang theo. your father may be gone but your light shines bright on us. you have no idea how my mental state improved when i started listening to u I feel connected isntantly. Your advice and experience on temptation and addiction are very familiar. Gang
I'm in recovery and I'm at 4 days right now and your story / authenticity has helped me to realize some resentments that I have been holding onto. I have never went to AA / NA. Maybe I should give it a try. Thank you Theo. Gang gang!
Lukas Villa try out working a program of aa or na, see if their stories are relatable and if it works for you. Worked for me and can be very powerful :) give it a shot!
The show with the drunk guy was Friday late show. I was sitting next to him.. He asked me for food off my plate and when he had his feet up he kicked me twice. I didn't let it take way from Theo. It was still a great show Theo Von! Gang Gang!
Brandi Bierlein I was sitting right behind him. Were you the one the drunk guy kept saying, “you have a beautiful face” to? I can’t believe he could even walk out of there.
Glad your father had you when he did, or I would have never heard your amazing podcast or standup. Looks like your Dad had perfect timing, which is Gods time.
Dane I like how it makes him seem close and obtainable , he’s very humble and his ability to analyze himself so well is definitely therapeutic ! And like you where saying ,in one way or another, he helps me put my feelings into words
THANK YOU !!! Ya got me making salt water with ya bro , needed to have this REAL DEAL today and glad you invited us on this journey of forward movement in reverse you traveled today . showed me I NEED TO TAKE A RIDE MYSELF , GANG GANG AND MASS LOVE
Was eating that gourmet panda house express listening to this making me feel some type of way... Opened up the fortune cookie: "YOU WILL BE RELEASED FROM THE BURDEN OF YOUR PAST. " GANG~
You speaking on your dad makes me think about my own, he’s really right around the same age your dad was when he passed, and it makes me really think on our relationship now that I have him here. Have a good one y’all.
Dude what you said about judging and keeping people from you, not giving love, or receiving love they might be trying to give you.....that shit was a knowledge 💣
I do too!! Josh if your out there and you need to talk hit me up! I will be glad to just listen to you!! This is temporary!! If you get to the point where you think you cant take it anymore, just take it second by second, then minute by minute, and keep telling yourself that THIS IS TEMPORARY!! There is an amazing life out there just waiting for you!! Go to one of those clinics, or do a program, or do what feels right to you!! But just keep on going!! 💕💕
Holy crap. You have a gift. Thank you for being so human and putting it all into words. I think you helped a lot of people tonite by laying out a path by walking out in front and showing us what honesty looks like. Mind blown.
That's super cool about Bishop gun,i just got my big 2 years and addiction took me to the depths bro so to hear these words of hope and wisdom makes me keep on keeping on.for real thank you Theo for all you do.
Your a good man Theo!!! It's really nice to know that I'm not the only one with my struggles in this world. This podcast is my church/therapy. Appreciate ya brother.
That’s what makes your fire so special, you may feel some ego issues at times...we all do....but you also have a great heart and are humble in ways you don’t even realize. Gang!!! Thanks for putting your spirit in the wind, Theo!
Wow Theo, that episode hit hard. Made me take a hard look at my relationship with my Mam, and to stop judging her for the not so great Mam she was years ago, when she was only young and learning. Gang gang from Ireland 🇮🇪
Theo, I've learned of you only fairly recently. I appreciate you. Your rawness. Your baseness. Your complexity. Your reality. Your attempt to learn from what you've been through and from what is going on now. You are funny. You admit to your mistakes, your recognize the gifts. Not at all easy sometimes, but so worthwhile.You seem to be negotiating the complexity of these eff'd up times pretty well. I am a boomer (female, 68). Can't help that. Understand it or not, though we've in fact seen a lot of change, and witnessed the outcomes of those things. It complicated. So very complicated. You are on the right path. God bless you, Theo.
favorite episode so far my man. the realism I get from you and the stories you let us in on shows me I am not the only one who is struggling with these things. Even at 43 and pulling myself out of the poverty, making sure my wife and kids never have to feel that pain.. I just have to wonder if the internal voice will stop telling me how I am worthless, useless or evil because even being married with two actual good kids, I am constantly fighting inner demons.. Maybe some day it will end, but if it doesn't at least I have you to listen to and that helps. Thanks for being there even when you don't realize you are. love ya dude.
I just realized this man is doing a 4th step with the world... how freaking cool is that... you rock Theo!! Keep pushing the envelope! Keep pushing forward.. the light will open your eyes
That part were you start talking about your father is beautiful I feel relate in a kind of way. I watch your content and I can say it's so authentic. Thank you Theo
