[@THIRDeye1989]

Theo you are such a good person. I love seeing you show your true self to everyone and being vulnerable. You are doing great, keep up the work don't stop trying to be a better you.

[@dave-hc2vi]

I remember when I subscribed and there were only 17K subscribers. Amazing to see how much it's grown and you deserve every bit of it Theo. One of the funniest podcasts out there while still tackling some real topics, plus you just seem like a genuine dude. Thanks for all the hours of entertainment. Onward

[@sarcastanaut]

Please DON'T have Amy Schumer on! 😂

[@Jeekobz]

She’s one of his good friends so he probably would like to

[@laceynerness2042]

​@@JeekobzIs she really though? He said the same thing about Iliza and when she was on it felt like he wanted to yeet himself off a bridge

[@catherinegilliam4202]

I think it would be hilarious if he did! He would roast the hell out of her 😂

[@nardt3265]

Love your humor bro. I was hooked immediately from tigerbelly. Planning on binging your podcast. I’ve only heard a few podcast episodes you’ve been in, but i felt connected right away, especially after this episode. Especially the advice part about your mother leaving. I always felt that too. Thanks for making people feel better in more ways than one.

[@freedomunleashed7937]

Brother you just quenched my soul with that track, thank you so much for sharing the lOve:) Haven't yet listened to the talk just wanted to thank you first

[@billparkinson6017]

In most cases you’re right, you can’t tell what people are about. But after watching one of your sets I was pretty confident you’d be know. As one of the best ever. You literally heal your followers brother. Laugher can’t be replaced especially with us who aren’t in the happiest place. You’re not just one of the best comedians I’ve ever seen but you resonate good vibes that I don’t think you’re even aware of. Keep doing your thing my dude. Much love. 🙏🏽

[@kasiecastleberry]

Love this. 💙🙏🏼

[@seektruth581]

Congrats on the 2 years clean! I’m almost at 11 months. Glad to see good examples for the youth

[@Ldluptak]

I love you, you brighten my day every time!

[@axzipa]

[@gorillacomedy6624]

Looking forward to seeing you in Raleigh Theo. Hope you comin with tha strap!

[@chickenv2314]

Lived in China for 4 years, you nailed it. I just discovered your channel/show, must say I LOVE it. You are hilarious and have a great world view, keep it but buddy. BTW don't know how they would say your name considering there's no TH or V in Chinese.

[@mountainmeister7996]

Cool cast, and thanks for turning me on to that awesome song Shine.

[@lucrative11]

Love Theo singing at the end. You've got heart and soul, baby boy. Love that.

[@Joss22]

Came across the Jordan Peterson podcast. New subscriber here, really enjoying ur channel.

[@hdhealy9908]

Damn....sweet...sweet music Theo. ..thanks for great musical references.

[@fatsoarg]

i subscribed year and a half ago. your channel really grew

[@nicholasbovio7031]

When you started talking about how you are making it happen and not Hollywood, really sparked that inspirational firework in my soul. I appreciate every podcast you do seeing as it’s not only great, but YOU enjoy it. Passion is the truth, brother. Thank you!

[@SpaceGhostPurps]

[@HESTONMILK]

LMAO Theo fucking dated Amy Schumer I couldn't believe it

[@Baniq1986]

HESTONMILK I don't think he anticipated back then that she will become this fat slob unfunny feminazi joke thief that she is today.

[@youtubechangedmyname]

[@dishitoutpodcast1281]

Congratulations on 2 years sober Theo!! 💕

[@sonnybrown4758]

Dang. That song got me. Thanks for putting us onto that music. Bishop Gun. That name is good too.

[@dallasonfire604]

The artist is Bishop Gun??

[@markmondrinos7721]

Theo does a good job explaining it with the pinball machine analogy. Here is a Shanghai rant...I arrived at night in 2006 and the neon lights were like blade runner x10. That ride into the city from the airport was a surreal experience. The scale of that place was hard to comprehend. High rises taller than the tallest housing buildings in NYC stacked up like legos for miles and miles along outskirts of the city. What I remember most is that everything was 24 hours - as in actually 24 hours of the same level of industrial activity. Construction never stopped. At night the spotlights went on and crews switched out. From my vantage point, the quality of the construction work was not great but it was happening at a blistering pace. The streets were packed all night. The pollution was insane. I was coughing up black tinged mucus after a couple days. It also has these strange neighborhoods you will happen upon and its as if you walked into France or some other European country with remarkable emulation of the architecture, flora and even the cuisine (that was nice). I definitely want to go back.

[@kasiecastleberry]

There's that creole angel.. Appreciate you managing to show up, even from the belly of the beast. Xiang-xiang, p-cast fam. Hope everyone has a beautiful week. Sending love and light out to ya. 🙏🏼

[@ebkorki8587]

[@beaubeaugadget1]

Big Love from Butte, America!

[@arklatexahomasavage5454]

Loved that Netflix special. That million babies eating cookies bit made me die. Love from NE LA

[@DuB9toker]

New in sobriety Theo, going back to meetings! Love watching your comedy, your podcast (among legendary appearances on many other fellow comics podcasts) and need to call in and talk about what you said regarding "putting a woman on a pedestal" that hit home today anyways congratulations on 2 years sober, GANG GANG.. don't forget to feed the kittens before you leave China bruh, try not to eat the kittens before you leave

[@joshk8599]

Appreciate the podcast from 🇨🇳 🤙🏽🎤

[@santosdean5875]

“I’ll pet a dog with my eyes lashes” 😂😂😂

[@ColeDoerr89]

Boy I went from fox fur to fraggle real quick. Glad you got me laughing man thank you

[@QB.113]

Theo is one of the funniest people on the internet and always has something interesting to say.

[@gilvan295]

i can't stop laughing. theo keep it up man. you're awesome.

[@JohnSmith-fn2rk]

Them Bishop Gunn boys turned r on to your show. Great job man.

[@Jacob-sb3su]

I hear in Shanghai you can get a blender that reveals your darkest secrets.

[@natest2101]

A travel show with Theo von callrd "onward" would be amazing kinda departures meets dave atells insomniac

[@johnnie543]

Nate S Hosted by Theo and Brendan Schaub? I'd watch tf outta Onward fr! Let's hear more...

[@FeiTongWen]

It is great that you grab and share your perceptions as you perceive them. I've been all over the world and failed to capture my first impressions -- a huge mistake, because they are mostly the truest. If you stayed in Shanghai a month, you'd not see all that good stuff any more; it'd be "normal". Good work. Keep it up.

[@Hutchie2112]

Get the Haaaam! That was genius, bringing that up.

[@morimemento8351]

i can't wait for Amy Schumer (sarcasm is hard to detect when written..)

[@Greeezy]

Conor McInnes I can't understand why these two ideas are in the same sentence.

[@morimemento8351]

that's ok, dude

[@bgdavidcryptonite4158]

[@terrymccorry8849]

First time I cried laughing in years was watching your recent sets

[@BG-fn9nl]

Oh I was tuning in see would I like you but here comes the insult straight upfront. My frenchness salutes you, c'est la guerre!

[@gaulindidier5995]

Dude you have such a great vocabulary, write a damn book already.

[@Unz360]

Gaulin Didier talking bout those CP patties bruh

[@AlphaMom55]

What a beautiful potpourri of cultural commentary, Theo. Ya done made me wanna go to China. Stay safe. Careful whatcha put in ya mouth, hon. 👍🙏💙

[@johnnie543]

sonnermom55 The real worry is Theo spraying out too much of his spicy mustard into Yangtze River bruh! Onward....

[@esbee666]
