Wtf Theo? The man starts telling you about the promise that he made to God and you stop him to tell a story about living in some woman's house and you having to put a t-shirt on a dog!!!
@bendaves77 I haven't watched that part yet but that's horrible😆 he still young n can still learn a few things. Ex. Learn to listen, be quiet, let sum1 speak their piece if their letting some personal or deep spill out for the 1st time. High energy can be hard to control. Theo such a silly high energy genuine heart❤️😊
I just discovered Theo Von as a 73 year old man yesterday on RU-vid and can't get enough of this guy .... FUNNY .... SMART .... CARING ....a guy with a BIG HEART .... and a Thank You to Scott for sharing his journey here .... Roy from Canada
Theo has a natural curiosity about him. He lets his guests speak and finish their thoughts. He listens and can bring wisdom, experience and a sense of humor without blocking the flow.
Many things Scott spoke of (his addictions, forgiveness. spiritual conversion, recovery) resonated with me and I’m sure thousands of others. I’m grateful he made him self vulnerable for us. I needed this.
I recently have been in my lowest part of my life this last month. I opened this episode first out of however many Theo has, and it is like 90% to what I’m feeling and dealing with. God talks to you in the most weird and amazing ways. He loves and cares for us all and puts us thru the struggle because it makes us stronger.
He isn’t lying about losing the ego. Right before the pandemic Scott played a show literally in a food court outdoors in Little Rock Arkansas to maybe 60 people and rocked it like he was in Madison Square Garden. As a musician I had to give him a nod, total pro.
Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people by surprise, unexpectantly, 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......
Thanks for sharing that, I had no idea about all this regarding him. I think I’m going to have to see him if he comes anywhere near central California.
I just recently dove into creed. I was born in 94 so I don’t remember it from growing, or was too young to be into music like that, but I remembered creed being a famous band, my dad some cds in his truck, heard it on the radio, movies etc. However after hearing creed as a 29 year old man who has struggled with many of the same things Scott and Theo were speaking on as far as addiction and trauma, I could not ever imagine my life without these songs now, they led me back towards my beliefs and inspired me. Once I heard my own prison, a song not like higher or one last breath that I had heard on TV, I cried. It was so powerful. I now listen it to every few days when I’m feeling like the world is resting on my shoulders, so many things in my life are not concrete and I’m climbing the hill, I realize that there is someone else out there feeling the same thing but can describe it better and so beautifully. May God bless these gentleman.
As you say i was born in 87 and i just missed creed.. ao i went straight onto alterbridge instead, however I know Alterbridges first album is a slight move on from creed. Alterbridges first album for me is one of their best.
Scott- “My music always provided a message of hope, and pointed people to God.” Theo- “I used to live with a guy, and every day we had to put a shirt on a dog…” Scott- “What was the color of the shirt?” Theo- “It was a different shirt every day.” So freaking funny…Theo should have been a pitcher, because he throws some wicked curve balls.
Best segment of the show. You can see Theo went back to the time in his head. How he looked when he said it was sad and kudos to Scott for being smooth and supportive. I love how Theo's eyes lit back up when Scott tells him it happens and was able to get back on topic. So genuine and why this podcast is so good.
That’s not Theo intentionally throwing curve balls that’s Theo being an idiot and not listening an having to derail Scott opening up with a dumb story that’s probably made up. His ADD is bad I honestly don’t even know how he gets through his own 2 hour podcasts
I won’t lie I started tearing up when I was listening to this at work today. I’m 25 and Creed was a massive part of my childhood. As a kid I loved jamming out to it driving in the car with my dad. As an adult, the lyrics are deeply touching to me as I was a child of divorce and have been searching for closure for my entire life. I can’t thank Theo enough for having him on. This got me through today
Creed brings me back to a time where I felt a lot of anxiety, but also a lot of hope. He really is an inspiration to listen to and Theo is an amazing interviewer.
Word. One of my best memories as a kid was my dad would bring home damaged CDs when he worked at bmg manufacturer and we would get free CDs and Creed was one of them.
You struck a chord in me when you said you were a child of divorce and looked your whole life for closure. I've never heard it quite worded that way. Instantly things made my plight in life feel as if I wasn't still the only one.
This is why we love you Theo. You're one of the funniest dudes on the planet, but you're open about mental health and have serious conversations. You're a mental health advocate.
@@bradturner3361 , mental healh issues and addicton are seperate things, however often addiction can stem from mental health issues leading down the path to addiction
As an unapologetic Creed fan ( Which, as a musician.. trust me I caught a lot of crap. ) I'm glad this was made. Stapp is a talented singer and song writer and has been pretty open about the demons he faced. He seems pretty healthy now. Good on him for finding his own way and sharing his journey. Theo did such a great job as an interviewer in this. Hats off gents.
@@emoraytorres6842 i like a public service message i saw years back (usually they're lame) "when you let go of your addiction, it's not like the gates of heaven suddenly open up to welcome u in / but the gates of hell do open up, to let you out.
"You still haven't hit rock bottom if you keep digging" wow Scott really hit me hard with that one. I love the duality of Theo and his guest. He can have funny good time, but can always get deep and thoughtful
My grandpa died yesterday. He was basically my dad that I never had. One of our biggest bonds was music. He owned and showed me the creed greatest hits cd and dvd. Scott was a major vocal and style influence as a kid for me. My grandfather passed away at around 8:45 Am on Sunday January 29th 2023 and I was showing some of our mutual favorite creed videos to my 3 month old son Lovell and he was zoned in. Then I got the phone call that my grandfather was gone. Ig the point is I appreciate y’all and you really touched not only my life but all the males in my family left. So thank you.
Sorry for your loss and I can understand that pain because I lost my only son on 12-30-22 and I will never be the same I know there is other people going through the same pain hope you and yours do good in the future..
I honestly can't get over how deep and amazing this episode was and how much I needed to hear these words today. I relate to so much of what Scott endured growing up. Gang gang baby
Scott is such a genuine, authentic dude. Have loved him since I was a child. Weathered was one of the most important albums I ever owned. So proud to be a hardcore creed fan at this moment. I feel like my team just won the superbowl for the first time in 22 years.
Same , first music I heard really and loved when I was a few years old when they first came out in the 90’s, first concert I saw then too and it blew my mind as a kid to see him . Always has and always will be my absolute favorite band , and his vocals have always given me chills listening to him.
This is a great interview and its really interesting hearing Scott talk about it Especially because I was in high school when Creed got huge in the late 90s, so I remember all of it.
Wow. This episode was one of the best interviews I’ve seen on a podcast in a long time. I needed this. I loved when Scott said “people who can make people laugh are healers” and then went on to compliment Theo in the truest way. Thank you!
Absolutely agreed. What a show. I'm twenty minutes in and it's kinda like his music... he tells a story and we learn from that story. Unbelievable human being.
So awesome to see two men sit down with so much vulnerability + discuss their journeys with sobriety- didn't expect how much I'd love listening to this one- Great job Theo + Scott!
I've been clean and sober for a couple years and I'm going through one of those rough patches that inevitably come up, and this really helped put some perspective on things. Thank you Theo and Scott for being so vulnerable and honest. I love you guys.🙏
This is probably the most powerful interview I've ever heard. You've been thru hell and back again, Scott. Thanks for sharing it all. Your wisdom is profound.
These guys openness and honesty about their life good, bad, and ugly is so refreshing. I appreciate the wisdom and I can already tell this is one I'll listen to again and again. There's really some gold here thanks!
Yes, we gotta stop the cycle of suffering for our children. I want my kids to not have to recover from childhood trauma as adult like so many of us either recover from or get sunk by that trauma.
This pod was incredible. Literally one of the best episodes of any podcast ever. I truly appreciate both of you being so honest and sincere throughout. Thanks Scott
wow, never wouldve thought years ago an episode of theos podcast would showcase a PERFECT example of putting the work in with recovery and WANTING to live a good life, we all fall, scott is a perfect example of getting back up again and again. So awesome to see where he is now.
Best interview Scott Stapp has done! So glad to see him with such peace and authenticity in his life! Theo you’re the f#cking man for being such an honest and sincere interviewer!!
The way Scott talks i can tell hes a man who understands grace. Great conversation. Theo is a very underrated interviewer. He seems like hes riffing but he gets to the meat of what is interesting
What an awesome interview. Scott is a solid dude. Pretty cool to hear how down to earth and honest he is. Always liked Creed so happy to see he’s doing good after all the craziness.
Never been a fan of Creed but after listening to this I have a new found respect for Scott. After going through so much pain and so much trauma and hardships he still came out a very humble, honest, and kindhearted person. Nothing but love!
He quoted his song what if. "What consumes your thoughts controls your life." That says to me that the song really ment something to him. That song is so immensly powerful. Probaby because he really wrote it from the heart.
I’ve yet to get halfway through this episode; it’s one of the best. There are so many gems in this. Listening to this releases me from my own prison. If you’re reading this keep fighting and believing. Thank you Scott and Theo.
The fact that this Only has 10k likes.... is ridiculous. I gained massive respect for Scott and his honesty. And for him to open up to Theo that quickly and feel comfortable enough to share such intimate experiences speaks volumes towards the atmosphere that Theo creates with his presence and genuineness for his guests.
This was the most impactful podcast I’ve listened to in a long time. 7 years in recovery myself… it’s so good to see and hear that others do recover and are living their best life!! Great podcast!
When I was in 7th grade I was a huge Creed fan. By high school I was mocking them like everyone else. Haven't kept up with them for years and years but now I'm 35 and this conversation impacted me and made me think deeply. Went back and listened to their first album and cried a little. God is out there. Somewhere. Everywhere.
Exact same. Down to being 36 years old also🤣 When I say favorite band, I mean literally my #1. It was the guitar riffs and Scott’s legit unique af vocals that I was hooked on, I thought I understood the lyrics because I speak English and my vernacular was grade A for my age🤣 But I KNOW now I understood none of the concepts. Just the emotions the raw sound led me into. I haven’t listened to their albums again yet, but I’m about to. Brooooo I’m positive I’m gonna cry💀💀💀🤍🤍🤍
@1:23:30 is probably one of the greatest compliment a guest has given Theo, because it's what every single fan that feels that way always wants to get across but can't. Powerful for Scott to voice at over for so many
This conversation is so insightful. I feel like we live in a time of "purity" culture where people are afraid to admit their mistakes or act like they haven't made any. To hear such an accountable and honest conversation about growth, mistakes, and ego, is so helpful and REAL. Once again, Theo brings that realness with great and unexpected guests. 🧡
Comment about getting through the next 24 hours hit me in the gut. It's true. Lost my son almost 3 years ago. Devastating. But what Scott said is true. The sun does rise again. The loss is still there. The pain never fully goes away. Don't know who needs to hear this out there but hang in there.
Scott, your testimony is powerful and God is certainly using you to help people. You relating your struggles with God and addiction impacted me greatly as they are exactly my own. Thank you for being vulnerable.
Creed was the most influential music I listened to growing up. The songs were more than songs it was a spiritual experience. I've followed Scott's ups and downs over the years. This is such a beautiful meaningful conversation. Gets me emotional
No doubt! I first heard (Higher) while in drug treatment center 24 years ago. His lyrics helped me so much during that time! I still jam out to Creed weekly! 🤘🏼
I feel like I'm witnessing a life long friendship in the making. What a powerful podcast. The messages in this podcast are so meaningful and insightful. Thank you Theo and Scott for such an inspiring podcast. Truly.
Much respect to Scott. He was drug by the media during a sensitive time for his mental health and he has navigated that without it destroying him. He was such a great lyricist and singer. Glad to see him here. Thanks for having him on Theo!
This is amazing. I'm less than 30 minutes in and have already realized so much in my own life. Scott Stapp, you have always helped me through life. It's so great to have gotten to listen to your story. Rock on, man! 🤘
Thank you Theo. You helped me thru my divorce the past 2 years and your intros always turn my depression upside down the second I hear it. Love this Podcast
Dude everything Scott has gone through, he is so at peace and calm. You can feel it and that is inspiring to me, going through the introspective integration journey myself it is comforting hearing someone speaking the same language.
this is one of the best episodes of theo's ive seen such a deep and meaningful conversation and deserves millions more views. i was a big creed fan when i was in middle school (even had their band shirt id wear) so seeing scott on here talking about what he went through was so sad but im glad he's better today and pray they he continues on a good journey and same with theo, love em' both.
I remember as an adolescent, rockin out to Creed with my portable walkman, feelin great and just jammin to their music. Then late teens until now it's always been impersonating Scotts vocals for laughs and only cool to rip on Creed. This podcast has genuinely humbled me and I have a new appreciation for Stapp.
This is one of the realest and deepest interviews I have ever seen. Thank you for posting this Theo, and for being so open and honest. And thank you Scott for being such a powerful inspiration! Your words of wisdom from experience and of faith that is true and tested, have really lifted me up today, when I really needed it. Creed's music has and will always be a source of inspiration, healing, and release, for me.
Not gonna lie. I have judged this man since he didn't show up to a concert from alcoholism I bought tickets to in the 90s. I have 25 years of remorse. Sorry brother. Glad you're feeling happiness. I didn't know your story and I'm sorry for the way I felt.
I spoke with him for about ten minutes after a show one night. He met my younger son and for whatever reason we talked about past mistakes. I said I know you’ve have rough times, but your struggles and seeing you healthy now inspires me that I can get out of my depression. Your lyrics let me know you’ve struggled with depression also. He looked me in the eyes and teared up. He’s a great person with a great spirit.
I'll never forget this moment when I was a kid in little league -- My friend Justin's big brother (A veteran) picked us up to go to practice one day. He was older, cooler and just a really nice guy -- he said to me in the car -- "Hey man, I'm popping the radio -- what music you like? You like Creed??" and, at the time - of course I did, everyone did.. and Justin's brother said -- "Ok watch this". He started flipping through the radio stations and of course, one of the stations was playing "HIgher". Justin's brother laughed and said, "here you go bro" and turned it up. That summer I don't think there was a moment in time where higher wasn't being played at some point on some station on the radio. I'll never forget that moment, with how much respect his older brother treated him and even me and just that five minutes in time sticks out to me for some reason for the display of kindness as you typically don't see too many older people interact anymore with kids.
Shit if I ran into someone saying anything mentioning the word or name Dali , I honestly would think they were referring to Dolly too. I’ve never met one person that said anything about Dali , but Dolly , that would make more sense. Plus I live near Sevierville so Dolly is , well Dolly around here.
The music that Creed produced will always have spiritual significance to me and you're right in saying that God used you despite where you were at! The concert you guys played in New Zealand with Incubus will forever be in my memory as an awakening. Thank you for this awesome and real chat with The Von 👐🙏
Just wow. So honest and so much more relative and real than most. I put this one in the top-5 of all interviews Theo. So amazing, so perfect in its imperfection, for such a time as this.. LOVE ALL AROUND!!
I didn’t want it to end. Scott Stapp could start his own podcast for all of us who grew up with his music, maybe struggled with addiction, some of us who are starting families… I feel like he’d have a lot of useful wisdom to share.
This is a beautiful interview. Much respect and admiration to Scott Stapp for coming so far. Thank you for speaking so openly about your past and your spiritual journey. It’s not easy to do one on one privately let alone on a public platform. Deep conversations like this with laughter sprinkled in are so cathartic. Thank you Theo for what you do!
Scott is an amazing person. This interview is going to hit home with so many of us! I appreciate the sensitive experiences that have been shared by both of these grand gentleman. May your days always be blessed!
I was 12 when I heard Creed for the first time, for me the lyrics of this band are very deep, they are perfect as musicians and I always thought they would last a long time. I still hope to see them together again. Creed is the band of my life, one of the best in my opinion. Greetings from Brazil♡♡
@@GlennDubski88 I've always liked philosophy, I've read a lot since I was a little girl, took books from my parents, always questioned life, relationships, society's values, something they did in their songs, the music on the first album "My own Prison" reflected what felt at the time, my view of the world. So, nobody better than me to understand the depth of the lyrics, of course, according to my understanding. Each person has an interpretation.
@@GlennDubski88 What a shallow comment. When I was 12, I had been through some serious shit. The idea that a person at 12 can't appreciate and understand and interpret some damn radio rock lyrics is hilarious.
This episode is one I’ve never seen pop up that I recall. And again, perfect timing. Love when people talk about being kids of kids. messing up and then healing and growing from it with the help of God. ❤ Thank you both for sharing your inners.
