Be good to yourself, you deserve it. bit.ly/theo-von

[@briannaelizabeth836]

You too Theo 😝

[@Ryan-po2ss]

Thank you for this episode man. It really touched me

[@markdavis8430]

Right back at ya brotha

[@outerspace7079]

Mike’s friend: “so you’re basically giving up a year of your life to do this” Mike: I’m basically taking one back. This hit so hard. Thank you for being a respectful converser and fun host Theo!!

[@ItsTrueMarketing]

I wonder how many people even know who mike posner is. theo did a frosted flakes great show here. I was graduating high school when mike got famous and he was definitely a smoke and ride type of music. this is a whole side of him that I didn't know about. needless to say theo is picking such good guests man

[@TheSandman1007]

perfect guest for Theo. Caught all of his jokes

[@rickeykoga2312]

That may speak to Mike's experience. Most people really don't listen well, especially in conversation, because they are thinking more about what THEY are going to say and not really listening intently. Mike got to a level of being present always, and maybe that's why he caught all of the jokes...maybe I'm just really high right now...

[@NickMaddox0]

Sean or they just don’t think your funny.

[@NickMaddox0]

It’s more likely that people just don’t find you funny. Most people are probably pretty busy and don’t care about your shit jokes.

[@TheSandman1007]

NickMaddox0 are you okay?

[@NickMaddox0]

Austin Sanders Yup. I’m just letting this Sean guy know that he isn’t the center of the universe and that he needs to stop thinking about what people are thinking. It’s just none of his or anyone’s business. If you are telling a joke and someone isn’t responding. They either don’t think you are funny, or they are to busy for your silly bullshit. Don’t read into it, don’t care about it. It doesn’t matter. Move the fuck on and find someone who cares about your shit jokes.

I haven't cried about my dad in awhile. He passed 10/2020 and it seemed like everyone just wanted me to get over it. So I stopped talking about him or crying. Hearing Mike talk about his dad after the caller and Theo remembering his Dad as younger just cut it lose. Thanks guys. I actually needed it. Just to say I miss him and really feel it. Gang Gang 😁

[@autumnsantomauroganggang]

Don't ever stop feeling your feelings about your dad! I lost my grandma September 3rd, 2020. I will never get over it. I cried for 2 years every night. Gang gang

[@SingleMaltBuckeye]

He dead. It's okay to have feelings. But let it pass. One day you'll be reunited but he doesn't want you miserable. I know the feeling. I push it away when I feel it grow. It's ego. You think you're not right if you don't feel bad. When it comes on, recognize it, acknowledge it and then let it pass.

[@Nat1Ka]

This is possibly the best guest appearance on the podcast. Mike Posner is a special person. There is so much wisdom in this conversation.

[@autumnsantomauroganggang]

They definitely get each other. Love both of them so much 💕

[@scootchisme]

Theo starts to say something... Posner: “Lemme swallow before you say this...” 🤣 He was one of the better guests Theo has had that really interacted with him and kind of “got” how ridiculous some of the things he says are. So many guests just don’t have that sense of humor that appreciates how hilarious Theo is.

@Ethan Kakac U rite

[@MrAhuraMazda]

@Ethan Kakac Riff Raff was the most boring episode of TPW. This is one was one of the best. Riff Raff isnt funny and the episode didnt even get into anything deep, just Riff Raff trying to one up Theo. So superficial. This one was deep

[@autumnsantomauroganggang]

This is my favorite duo ever, in life. Theo tickles the part of my brain that is smart and silly at the same time and Mike tickles the part of my brain that advocates for pushing through adversity and being a lovely kind person all at once. Those 2 together can be messy, strong, lovely, fun, and safe all at once.

[@HIVEMINDTV]

this is one of those podcast episodes that will be special to a lot of people forever.

[@CezaMVO]

For a while I kept getting this familiar feeling in Mike Posner's voice that I couldn't put my finger on. Then it hit me he reminds me of Mac Miller. This was great. The chemistry between the 2 was fantastic. I liked how Mike actually reacted to the crazy funny as shit that flows through Theo's mouth, great interview.

[@PsychiCorey]

I noticed that too, honestly 🙏Rip dear Mac. Gang. Awesome u also had that subtle perception....

[@CezaMVO]

@@PsychiCorey great minds think a like. I'll forever miss Mac, one of a kind.

[@skeptical4446]

funny you say that. i had the exact same thought. not that him and Mac are are even that similar at all... but the unforgiving honesty and refreshing realness and vulnerability they both exude gives me the same feeling. similar also to how i feel when i listen to Capital STEEZ (RIP Mac and STEEZ) before i saw your comment i was thinking how amazing it would be to see Theo interview Mac.

[@cartersmalls3537]

I was thinking that same exact thing. Imagine a Mac/Theo pod 😭

[@CezaMVO]

@@skeptical4446 I always asked myself yo where's is mac, what is mac up to, because there were a couple of years where he just disappeared, then when he started putting out music again I got so hyped. And of course he went out how he went out. He had his demons and even though he was killed by those pieces of shit that laced the drugs he took, he still had problems and I hate that was how his life ended. He will live on forever

[@aaronnuffer4220]

Amazing episode Theo, would love to see more conversations between you guys. You seemed to really connect and have the same perspectives on a lot of things

[@Gerald.69]

The part about how were mortals and we will all die is so true. Many people know this but never live as if theyre dying. Make yourself happy without hurting others, and never make others happy if its going to hurt you. At the end of the day, putting your trust in another person will leave you disappointed. If youre your own best friend you will never feel alone.

[@alazymonkey5716]

HOW Amazing guest Theo! This is a great episode! I've been intermittently going through this over the past few days. I love silly Theo, but it is cool to see him comfortably be so real.
