      I've seen Rogan have guests on who worked for years on a book, and rogan didnt read a single page. And not only that, he immediately demands answers that come at the end of the book. I agree that you can tell Theo has put a good effort into trying to see what page Rainn is on right now in his career. Another comparison that comes to mind is tom segura having Quentin Tarantino on to speak about his new book. He didnt read a single page and barely even broached the subject of the book. He only had questions about his films. It would be like Theo having Rainn on and only talking about the office.

      ​@@codirennke1109 I like Theo, he's entertaining, but I just can't get behind the idea that he's some profound interviewer. These episodes are 99% comedy in my opinion. For example, the John Mulaney episode was okay, but Theo didn't seem to know anything about him besides the fact that he was a former addict. At times it felt forced and awkward in my opinion.
      Also, claiming to have read something doesn't mean he actually did. In fact, I think the only specific question he even asked about the book was literally on page 1. Rainn called him out on it.

And I like rogan lol. I'm not saying that theo doesnt have some worse interviews or that segura doesnt have some amazing interviews. The only thing controversial I might be saying is that rogan is over rated as an interviewer. And a comedian. 😬 but that's off topic.

    The way Rainn describes his anxiety is exactly how I feel about mine. It is manageable but it’s a daily commitment to meditation, journalling, exercise, and staying in touch with loved ones that keeps me afloat. I have to view it as a medical issue otherwise I don’t take it seriously and easily slip out of my routine.

    When Theo is talking about affection being a big struggle for him and he says he’s hard to pet…idk why but that made me so sad. My husband and I have gone to see him two times now and both times we were able to hang out and talk to him for a little. And Theo gives the greatest bear hugs. I hope he conquers all his struggle.

    Holy shit the feeling like you needed to be connected with earth to make your wishes come true is hitting me so hard, how we treated objects nice cause we thought they had feelings, we didn’t pick plants cause then we’d be punished in our own life, wishing on freaken dandelions and if your wish came true telling everyone about how a flower did it for you! Childhood is soooo fleeting 😭

      So true. I am 68 years old a little while longer 😆 🤣 😂 😹 I feel so much younger than my friends and my family members. Mentally I feel 20 years younger than my husband. My elder sister has dementia and my younger sister has betrayed me one too many times. During the worst of the Pandemic I lost 4 beloved elderly pets. Then too many friends passed over such that I stopped counting. I am a trained Marriage Family Therapist with a terminal degree. I would love to sit and chat with Theo, like many of us struggling to be better humans. I am really new to Theo but I am quickly becoming a big fan. Love this synergy between these 2 lovely humans. My favorite episode thus far. Thank you both for this deep sharing. Both voices are so soothing.

    Around 1:00:00 when they start talking about God.. I do believe that understanding God as being a part of everything is a good stepping stone to finding love and joy connected to nature… knowing you’re a part of that… I read about Zen Buddhism when I was 19 and struggling with God and now I’m a very strong believer as a Christian… it’s interesting how He reaches you in a way that you need… I won’t call Him ‘the great mystery’ like Rainn says, but I will call him ‘I AM’ 🔥🙏

    You can tell Theo really learns a lot from his AA meetings and his internal work on self happiness. When he talks to Rainn about Rainn’a failure in his movie film and how Rainn always wanted more and what he had was never enough. The advice Theo gives him sounds like it came straight from an AA meeting about finding happiness and accepting yourself.

      @@chriswest7639 absolutely! Its worth trying it out sometime if you come across a problem you're having difficulty with. The other aspect though, is the fact that society doesnt really hold much in the way of moral values. For me, this meant that when i got clean and became a decent person i was seriously let down because i was under the impression that most people were as well adjusted as people who've worked a serious recovery. The truth is, thats not at all the case. Most people i encounter seem to have backwards morals and no desire to improve themselves. Its like a race to the bottom, and personally i strongly dislike it

    I love Rainn. The philosophy of boredom is one that I love talking about. Being a baby millennial, growing up without a phone, terrible dial-up, land-line phone, and pagers. I spent more time outside, drawing, reading, and running down the street to bang on my friends door. When I didn't, I usually just sat in my room playing with toys, or just being bored in general. But with the introduction of the internet readily at our finger tips....I have so much at my leisure to stave off boredom so when I am bored, it brings anxiety when it never did. Its sad. I've done so much to just...be bored. Sit there and just be. I wonder if my adhd kind of makes it harder to just sit and be bored with my mind, but I don't think so, maybe a little, but with social media and the dependency of it makes it hard to put the phone down. The Social Dilemma is my favorite documentary and interesting, highly recommend. What's even more sad, is it took me October 2023 to finally pick up a book again, when I haven't read in like 15+ years. I did it for fun. I feel for the younger generation not having a single moment of boredom, of silence, to just process the day and weigh their thoughts healthily. I empathize with both those who never had internet and then got it at the turn of the century, and then the ones younger who are 'ipad kids' and have brain rot. Being stuck in the middle gives me both perspectives and its interesting. Also the song Bored by Deftones is my favorite, so I use that as a device to get me hyped on just being bored. lol
