Ear to the Back | This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von

PLEASE DO MORE DRUGS THEO!

[@AgendaInMind]

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 WW1, 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”. You do not “catch” disease from others. A lie told for 100 years never becomes the truth. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......

[@susanthursdays5008]

Btw.. - Theo did have Boosie on within the past yr or so! I know is one person, but what a great guest - that was a great podcast!! - And, sounds like that is trying to book others. Is not a ton of comedians and it is hard for them to travel and get in to do a podcast, BUT, if anyone can do it, it’s Theo. - I just don’t think Theo thinks that much about ‘race’ as being a priority. He said he grew up in a ‘equally mixed’ neighborhood and school, and those formative years, impact your ‘world view’, so for Theo, I don’t think he ‘lists race’ at a reason to have or to not have someone as a guest - keeping in mind it’s not easy to book people. (Theo only books approx., 2 per month!! - people that is!!! or any color!) Re, Donnell - I love him!! He’s hysterical!! ... and his idiosyncrasies are so ‘black’ is so many way - and I love it! Put’s a big smile on my face - Is funny, I’ve really never had any real black friends - but the blacks that share their stories - I just adore. I love their big personalities, and their culture and their ‘strong family VALUES’, and their ‘smart and quick minds’, their confidence and ‘’way of life”! - there are so many things I admire, that I think comes from the strong family values & ways they’re raised-up with. - I know that I’m generalizing!! - But is best I can do. - So, as far as ‘black culture goes’’ from ‘the home to church to creativity, to street-life&street-style & artistic expression and intellectual expression , etc (I’m including all that, in “black culture’, and is so much there we could ‘enjoy’ getting to ‘know more intimately, and as human-beings, we’ve much we can learn about ourselves and one another.) And, that would be great. But - it takes willingness - and when ppl have to fight to cultivate ‘their own identities and spaces and achievements” - it’s natural that they’re going to want to ‘protect that’, and is also more natural to feel more ‘at home’ with ‘your own ppl’ . - For me. I ‘d still LOVE for us to ‘lower some of the ‘barriers’ - for the good of all humanity. And, the good of every individual, in America - to gain ‘genuine, first-hand understanding and love and respect. I hope that any ‘aversion’ that blacks have or whites have to each other, dissipates, more and more - because I believe that “if we were ALL more willing to be ‘inclusive’, we could learn and benefit greatly, ie . Gain real understanding, and really connect as human - beings, and celebrate our different cultures and ways of life, and also enjoy ‘are commonalities’- some may approach the exact same, others may slightly different. Not all blacks are the same, and not all whites are the same, but ALL living for a generation or several(!!) - are definitely Americans but, all bringing some unique POV and culture, to ‘’the table’’. - Because, all Americans ‘share so so much’, but yet we find there are some that see things ‘one way’ and ‘other that see things another way’, despite the color of our skin. - so, I can speak to black culture, and say, we human beings can all learn & grow and persons - so, so much from it!! My two boys had /have several black friend, from growing up, and it was great! I envied them, the ‘diversity’, as I grew up in a very ‘vanilla world’ - and there, I still reside. Re: Donnell, that funny-ass black dude, totally cracks me up!! Donnell would also probably “RUN” from the guy that said ‘he has some feminine traits”, OMG, NO!!! - You who said that, better run, dude or Donnell gonna kick your ass!!! He would NOT like to hear that - AND - BESIDES, is NOT AT ALL, true!!!! - Donnell is all ‘male’, 100% . - That’s what I see!! (Maybe I missed some of his ‘comedy’, will have to dig around. But from what I have seen,- if anything ... I’d of said - he ‘homophobic’ - LOL 😂 = Like he keeps clear on the other side of the street from any ‘effeminate men. But I LOVE Donnell!! And, if there is more to him than I know, can’t wait to ‘discover’! - He’s a great guy and always cracks me UP!! I’d LOVE seeing him on TPW!! - But, I’ve definitely see him do other things, comedically!! ☮️ 💕 💕 💜 💪 🌟 ☀️ 💫 GANG!

59:00-1:03:40 Couldn’t put the words together better than this to how I feel. There’s so many people who feel the same way as you Theo and that’s why we continue to watch. Love you so much bro, take your time off. I’ll see you in Chatt Town tonight brother, GANG! ✊🏼💯

[@brettburgess5048]

And your podcast is like Denny’s bruh. It’s funny a lot of the time and it’s sad a lot of the time. Idk why I watch, “BUT I KEEP GOING BACK THERE!”

[@Jal1997]

Love you Theo. This podcast has helped me a lot, making me realise I'm not alone in some of the struggles I go through, so of course I understand Theo taking a break, as I know the importance of taking time for yourself. I'll be listening when your back, however long it would be for. Gang Gang RIP Billy Conforto

[@richiem7716]

Im not a hugger but damn i wanted to give this big beautiful bastard a hug when he was tearing up. A funny kind dude. We all feel it

[@ASAP_Kenny]

I’m glad to seeing that you’re doing ok Theo, I don’t know what problems you’re going through right now but I hope the best for you

[@jpierce2l33t]

We love you Theo!! We listen because you're REAL! You show emotion. Your sentiments are true and real. And obviously you're funny!!!

[@newusernamehere4772]

The fact that there's only 380 episodes is mind-blowing lol, and with 800k subscribers too. Coulda sworn this thing had been going way longer, guy must be doing something right. Dude packs every moment with content bro

[@jamesNolove]

380 episodes divided by 56 weeks a year is 6.7 years. That's not long enough? Lol

[@brettmitchell651]

I have that same thought sometimes but its probably because I watch JRE too and he's on like episode number 14,062 so...makes theo being on episode 308 seem like episode 30.8 in comparison.

[@brettmitchell651]

And 14,062 is an obvious exaggeration before anybody calls me on that.

[@HealthyHelperKaila]

As someone who used to struggle a lot with self-worth, I can fully attest that it does get better with time, Theo. Therapy is crucial and we all know you're already doing with work you need to be doing to feel more positively about yourself. Keep going!!!! You are so loved and appreciated...not because of what you do, but because of who you are. It's hard to take that in and feel it for yourself...but "fake it till you make it" really does work. Eventually, you will be able to feel self-love.

[@stereo2hearts]

saw theo in peoria and it was the best live show of any entertainment we've ever seen! I've watched every podcast of his and wasn't let down at all he even sent a personal message to my brother who couldn't make it! he's the 🐐

[@MardiKivMusic]

Richard Pryor is from there too if I'm not mistaken

[@cheribreazeale5372]

I love this guy so much. It takes a big man to be comfortable with sharing himself emotionally like he does. So relatable and thank you for that. We'll miss you in January, but go head and get right so you can STAY upstairs boiiii

[@rustincole_w1339]

Theo looking like a DJ who mostly does High School Proms, Homecomings and the occasional Funeral.

[@rustincole_w1339]

No Weddings. He doesn't believe in eternal Love. Even says it on his business card.

[@JoeVloggs]

can't get over how much one man can make millions feel better about their own shit, theo you absolute legend, be good to yourself, you deserve it. gang

[@Ninja47Monkey]

I can't express how much hearing this helped me tonight

[@nicholassomers7819]

Theo! The fact that you opened up in front of your audience.. is a good thing. You see, my big brother just committed suicide in April. He didn't leave a note but left a huge dark hole in my heart. My parents are both gone. I'm 28. Work and your podcast amongst other things like exercise keep me going. When you said you carry your weight on the inside.. well, that hit home for me. Theo, stay stong! You take all the damn time you need/want Brother! When you have your back against the wall, the only way to move is forward! GANG GANG! P.S. It would be awesome to see a show of your's in South Florida!

[@brettmitchell651]

Damn dawg, I am sorry to hear that about your brother. My heart goes out to you. I'll offer up some of the best vibes I can put out for you today, man. Stay upstairs, baby boy! You're not alone.

[@nicholassomers7819]

@@brettmitchell651 I certainly appreciate your kind words.

[@kristywrightson4031]

Breaking hearts everywhere… The vulnerability is strength.

[@jillj303]

59:59 - "My value is contingent upon my output." The struggle is real.

[@RaptorYfm250r]

i wouldn't be mad if Theo took a break. gang freakin GANG

[@sirelllingtob]

Losing a book no one has copies of… Norm was one of my all time favs.. just like you Theo. What a beautiful quote.

[@sogoodgolf]

This man got me rolling in the first half and sweatin out my eyes in the second. Gang baby ❤️

[@FunkJunkyD]

Went to the Cincinnati show, got a hug from Theo when he popped out while I was waiting for the bathroom. What a dude! You killed it, Theo.

[@YoMateItsMEHerbie]

We'll always love ya, Theo.

[@ozzysgarage]

Respect brotha, you a real one! Thanks for sharing details of your life that we can all resonate with

[@Andrew.millertime]

Thanks for the wonderful video rat king! Congrats on throwing the pitch at the cardinals game. You did great! Gang!

[@derekhammer8988]

This was hitter straight to the feels. This show helps me so much. Thank you

[@jakobsmith828]

Mad love for you, Theo. I'm proud of you! You're valuable! 💯

[@ericsicard7893]

Watched this whole episode again this morning… Theo you need to realize what you mean to all us everyday people and fucking keep shining bro! The world needs your light right now…

[@derekjenkins801]

I hope you're doing okay Theo. It seems like podcasts have slowed down in frequency since about the time of your special and I worry that you're not finding Happy, but maybe you're just upstaaaaiiirss. You deserve the world brother and if you have to step away and get yourself right that's totally understandable. Gang boi please know we are all here for you, just like you've been here for us these past 360 episodes.

[@laatenzin1037]

Upstaaaaaiiirsss baby haha gang gang ✊🏽

[@PretENDOgolf]

I died laughing when he tributes norm macdonald and says mark normand on the view. Such a theo thing to do

[@Im-just-Stardust]

hope you doing well Theo, thanks for creating content for us, poor mortals

[@camaro8402]

I love his description of Norm, and where he might pop up in the afterlife. So funny and sweet.

[@wyattbaldwin]

Theo please take some time off when you need it, because we need you!

[@coleramnanthan961]

22:36 he just couldn’t wait to get to the chew ad 🤣🤣🤣

[@NateIrvo]

12:24 "It had been un-performed in" Simple lines like that is why I love Theo

[@ryanpaintz3075]

never was really interested in comedy until Theo. Love you Big T!
