Who else come from Tiktok ✋🏻
Dr Newhart, none of your real customers are surprised you were out there robbing banks. When are you opening back up? I accidentally rain over my retainer and some of my kids need braces.
I bet you that ford ranger is still running down in Mexico even after running with no oil 😂
Anyone else thought it was Matt Damon?
This is what Matt Damon would look like if he had this guys drug problem
@@CaptPicard81 you wrong about that that’s why pills are so different than coke and meth so hard to tell at times when people are on pills a good addict knows how to hide it but eventually the seams start to come apart
My sober journey ...after 10 years on opiates ua-cam.com/video/HDVUq8hQVo4/v-deo.htmlsi=FUX6wSAFXDZdaqPL
40 pills a day , then a jailhouse detox? Hell on earth.
I was taking 180 oxies in 6 days and I got arrested..56 days. Still sober that was 2017

Really happy for you brother! Keep doing YOU and making the next right decision. I can relate to a lot of your story. Take care
what a cool guy i’m glad you made it thru man
This is what I took from his story. He had some trauma early in life and introduction to drugs early which is powerful. That introduction early in life to coping with hard times by drug abuse followed him his whole life. College, dental school and practice and family life. It finally destroyed him but God can lead you out of anything no matter how bad your situation seems at the time. We don’t recognize how powerful his leadership can be. This man realized it. He knew he could only overcome it with God and real supportive friends. This shows us that no matter the situation you find yourself in, a new life can be given to you through faith
Awesome message love this and loved this video , I was hooked on Percocet , norcos and oxys was taking 10-15 a day but thank god after rehab I’m 3 years sober now
This is nuts!!
Wtf … how, why is this worthy of a conversation? This guy’s a POS
beyond proud of you dad 🫶🏼 i love you forever and it only gets better from here.
when your dentist needs to rob banks to stay afloat, you know bidenomics is at play
Comes back into the office " alright mother fuckers get on the fucking floo.. sorry Mrs Thompson I got mixed up
What a awful person.
Banks are insured it's fine. 😂
@@johncrawford1439😢
@jiachengwu4185 look they steal enough people's money every year, I have no sympathy for big corporations.
@@johncrawford1439 no it isn’t. Grow up
“It’s actually dr. Dentist” 🤣
😂😂😂
For the love of the game
Why did he say 3 different times just a few mins apart "thats right about when i met you.
Because that was right about when he met him
bro i hope that’s already settled or you just incriminated yourself big time
Depending on where he lives, the federal statute of limitations for bank robbery is only 5 years. So if you can pull it off and lay low for 5 years, you're golden.
Apparently you don't have to be hard up for money to rob banks. Even dentists do it on their lunch breaks. Lol
😂 That's what I was trying to figure out ~ if it's gambling debts or an addiction or just living above means? Tuition for his kid? Just for kicks?
@@onedeep6460 On the case of this dentist it was addiction. He has a Great story.
Wow ! What a story. I’m so glad he has control over his life and he was able to overcome so much. When we think of providers, whether it be a dentist or a doctor, we don’t associate them with addicts. This just reiterates that they’re human like the rest of us. Bless him and his family !
Promo sm 😈
...what
This kid had it all…..and fucked it up. Money, pussy, fame and snorted and smoked it all away. I’m glad he’s got his shit together
I agree , crazy part is I did research on his ex wife and she’s literally homeless living in LA so she also had it all and blew it. Can’t find no info as to her whereabouts in 2024 but the last vid I could find was her doing an interview about 4 years ago.
@@louielou6294 yep. I saw a pic of her recently and she looks terrible. She went from a hard 8 to a crackhead. Drugs are bad kids
It's very damaging 😢
What about the girl Loni who got abused as per the reports and is on streets coz of her ex husband. Care about her?
@@DrDivya-nl2bx nope
STOP SAVING THESE LOW-LIFES
I find this interesting, and so happy for this mans recovery and happy for his family. However, having been a victim of an armed home invasion by teens trying to pass a final test to become a member of some elite gang and they are now in jail. I hope they find recovery while on the inside but what about the recovery of the victims whose life is changed forever. A bank teller being robbed life is forever changed as mine was after looking down the barrel of a gun with someone stating they are going to kill me. The recovery & healing time for victims of criminal behavior, is also a life long process of forgiveness that I struggle with on a daily basis. Again, thank you for sharing this pod cast
Thank you so much for sharing.
Inspiring story! Thank you for sharing!
so proud of you sis!
What an incredible story Camille. Brought tears to my eyes. Grateful you’re alive. Chris thank you for doing this
