One of the best episodes yet Theo. John Crist sharing his story along with yours was beautiful. Truly such a genuine and authentic episode. Touched my heart
I'm currently a pastor and a college missionary and it pains me that churches and groups operate like that. I've seen it myself and it is heartbreaking. What a treasure of an episode. Honestly. Anytime someone talks about redemption and unexpected kindness it freaking gets me.
Listening to you guys has been amazing, I’m 65 year old male, my wife & I just celebrated our 40th anniversary & I had wonderful parents & have awesome brothers & a sister & I end every conversation with my wife, my children, my grandchildren, my siblings with “I love you” because I know it could be the last time & I’ve always have taken it for granted, Theo & Crist,J. just opened my eyes a little wider on how blessed I’ve been, thank you GOD for my wonderful life.
Two young men, open and vaunerable, as a mother with a son with anxiety issues,and wont share his feeling, you two had tears running down my face. God bless you both, much love And Thank You!!❤
I don't usually finish a full podcast in one sitting but when I do it's this one.👍 I was homeschooled in a religious cult, went into dark arts and came full circle back to the Lord and this ep hits different than a JRE.😆
I hope he knows how much courage and strength there is in vulnerability. And he’s stronger than he thinks. It’s hard enough for some people to just be honest with themselves; and he’s here publicly walls down. I commend him for that.
The last 15 mins are pure gold. When he discusses his parents supporting him and realizing that people love him and support him, and breaking free from those feelings of shame🥹. 2 wholesome dudes right there ❤️
"rehab if it does anything it will move you to empathy" ~such a great quote. So proud of John for all the work you've done--so happy to see a brother being restored only by God's power and thankful for what you've shared. Not easy, so worth it, and a community of support behind you and praying for you. Hope we get to meet some day. We need more podcasts like this!

29:00 I love when Crist talks about getting everything and how terrifying that was. Reminds me of an Oscar Wilde quote: “The only thing worse than not getting what you want, is getting it.”
I felt the same way, its a really good insight and hearing stuff like this always reminds me of this verse. An inheritance gained hastily in the beginning will not be blessed in the end. Proverbs 20:21 Getting money, fame, etc. early in life tends to lead to destructive behavior because most people don't know how to manage it. Look at a lot of the examples in the professional sports industry, people making multi-millions and then making bad decisions to the point where when their career is done they are broke. Not saying that it happens to everyone but it happens more often people think
I could listen to you two talk about addiction and the human psychology every week. Plus it would help keep us all on track , even when we don't wanna be. Gang
This was one of the best podcasts ever! Everyone that has a family member or friend that has struggled with addiction of any type can learn from Theo and John. Thanks guys! Love you! ❤❤

I empathize with anyone who has an addiction. I may not have a sex or drug addiction, but sugar is a major killer. I struggle with that and sometimes feel very overwhelmed. I don’t want diabetes. The struggle is real. Blessings to both of you. 🙏🏼🥰💕
I've worked with johns dad for years and had no idea he had a son that's a famous comedian, let alone is on an episode with my favorite comedian. I'm losing my mind rn.
I applaud both of you for your honesty and openness. It’s encouraging for men (and women really) who are struggling and need to know they’re not alone in their pursuit of recovery.
Theo you are a true empath...and I can relate. It's incredibly difficult not to take on other's "stuff". I'm in the middle of it right now and have lived there most of my life. You are an amazing human ❤️

So good!! It's inspiring to hear you guys go into depth about your hardships in life, and psychological tendencies. This was definitely my favorite episode so far 👏👏👏
While my parents weren’t over the top Christians, I went to a ridiculously strict Christian school. This episode hit home with me about how certain topics are talked about (sexuality, alcohol, clothing, etc) in certain religions communities. I’m almost 40 and still working through the mental and emotional toll it took on me.
Same here. I went to public school but my grandfather was a pastor and my entire family went to that church and you got shunned if you ever left. It really hit home when John was talking about the shame part...I could of started crying
i felt that, "when you have looked the devils in the eye", i fucked up in my life, but the ability to bounce back from that more importantly the ability to step back and recognize what the problem is hard, its hard to look at who you truly are in the mirror. 2018 i was living life, i was successful. I had a family kids and a wife. that year i had a halloween party. I woke up in my house after the party to the a call from my captain telling me i had blacked out at the party, beat up one of my co workers, and punched my wife. That day everything i worked for was taken away, my childhood dream was taken away. I woke up to the cops at my front door with a warrant to arrest me, i spent 8 hours at the sub station contemplating my life, trying to remember what had happen the night before what happened ?!? couple, it was so uncomfortable, i was in a 2x3 cell handcuffed to a bench . they ended up taking me town down for booking, and the C.O who intook me was my own brother, and that shit killed me, still kills me till this day, but i was booked into the county jail, everyone there knew i was a cop, but my brother saved me in had them put me in a separate holding cell. Even tho i fucked up my brother still had love for me. Later that day i was bailed out by my aunts. i slept the rest of the day. I took 2 weeks of administrative leave from my department. in those 2 weeks i didnt eat, all i did was sleep. I lost 40 pounds from depression. my captain called me, we ended up meeting up one day, we shared some personal stories about how he has fucked up in the past and that it hasnt all been easy for him either, also told me that the chief for what ever reason at the time i didnt understand loved me and knew it was a fuck up but i was good kid still. A week later work pulled me in and detailed me out to an administrative position. The chief and the director of the department let me keep my job but not as a police but as a the information officer for the department. The chief had told the director about my work ethic about my smarts and basically pleaded with the director to keep me around. I was detailed in the new spot for about 3 months. I rocked the new position i was in, mainly because my old chief told me how sold his soul tot he director to keep me around and that i better do a good job or hed kill me lol anyways i rocked it, i rebuilt a whole program and i was good at what i did. the next 2 years i spent trying to rebuild my family. my wife left after that night because of what happened. We always talked but what killed me more was not being able to see my kids because of the fuck up i did. Me and my wife eventually started going to therapy once a week. Man was it hard, she was afraid of me and i didnt blame her. 2 years later and a lot therapy, it took me time to come to terms that i was dealin with not only depression from what had happened but i was dealing with an alcohol problem, and struggling with PTSD from an event that happened when i was in the military on top of being a cop. when jon crist talked about his family caring just killed me man and it brought back all these memories. if you need help dont be afraid to seek it because it can build up and you wont even know when it is about to explode till its too late. since 2018 and that incident, ive regained my life back, and most importantly i regained my family back.
This podcast was an emotional rollercoaster for me. God I love both of these guys so much. Jon, i couldn’t help but tear up with you. I’m so happy you’re going in the right direction, I feel like I can follow the steps you paved. I took so much from what you had to say- I felt like this was a self doubt anonymous.
My GOD - the honesty in this conversation SO DAMN humbling.. May we all venture to shed light, first, into our own dark corners; whether alone, or in the company of a confidant.. May we all have the balls to set our eyes within, in a world where casting your eyes at your neighbor is celebrated - a perversion of our desire to discern that we call "woke." Can't wake up to the world until you are awake to yourself. 🙏🏾 Well fucking done, you two.

Thanks for having him on Theo, legit bruh
Fans of both of you❤️ The LORD is in the glue 🙏🏻
Thank you for this podcast and for being so open and honest. I was drawn in the whole time.
My GOD - the honesty in this conversation SO DAMN humbling.. May we all venture to shed light, first, into our own dark corners; whether alone, or in the company of a confidant.. May we all have the balls to set our eyes within, in a world where casting your eyes at your neighbor is celebrated - a perversion of our desire to discern that we call "woke." Can't wake up to the world until you are awake to yourself. 🙏🏾 Well fucking done, you two.
This little light of mine - I'm gonna let it shine.
Glad to be a fan you guys share and a female who loves Theo Von. Great episode!
Theo got a crispy set of below the knee jean shorts with a braided leather belt on underneath that table top. High key with that shirt tucked way way in too
Theo looks like the general of a Dark Arts Militia.
I love Theo so much. He is one of the funniest men on the 🌏 and his honesty is so endearing.
Theo’s casual encounters story needs to be animated.
