I was struggling with addiction when this originally aired. It pointed out that rehabs often use a 12-step program anyway, so I decided to take action. Since AA is free, I went to my first AA meeting that same week. I'm thrilled to say I've just celebrated 6 years of sobriety!
Congratulations!
Congratulations and thank you so much for sharing!
That's amazing congratulations!
Congrats!!!
Congratulations, thank you so much for sharing your story, it is very inspiring.
The whiplash from "The Four Seasons doesn't offer life-changing moments like we do" to "I dunno where the patients are" is pretty impressive.
rehab standards are so bad, my 1st [and favorite] cousin DIED from an overdose IN REHAB.
My condolences for your loss, stranger. My cousin took his own years ago, but it still hurts to not have him. I empathise with you.
My condolences to the both of you. It is a truly horrible situation.
who's your new favorite?
I personally did the Florida shuffle (lost my MIND when he read it out loud cause that’s literally what we call it down there) and the amount of horrendous shit going down in the residential facilities and the halfway houses were like one of the eye opening experiences of my life. Plus the death rate from overdoses…I’ve seen what that does to people first hand and it needs to end. I’ve overdosed and survived but I know many who weren’t that lucky and I saw the emotional fall out from their loved ones It’s just a business down there and most likely everywhere. It’s never about helping it’s about the money
There is no better sign that times have really changed than hearing John Oliver say “horses can go straight to hell”
To hear Bolton's side in "The Room Where it Happened" he was' thrown under the bus' for it.
16:00 I see this is before John became infatuated with horses.
Whenever he's happened to mention a horse in the earlier reruns, I've thought about how that bit hadn't started yet, but this episode... wow, he really didn't like horses in 2018.
I was going to comment the same thing. In fact I think I made a comment on the old video on how John really changed his tune about horses.
It's amazing how Gerbanguly Berdimuhamidov was able to share his horse fëtįsh with a British-American comedian. Ol' Gerb must be so proud.
John, are you okay at 15:40? Did the akhal-teke dump you for an actual horse? Just know that we're here for you.
as someone who's actually done wilderness therapy, "inadvertent wilderness therapy" is just when parents don't bother learning about the place they're sending their kids to and they end up finding out that this year's "summer camp" is being miserable in utah for three months.
on a more serious note, until there's a better official path for dealing with addiction, probably the best way to deal with it is to go to a support group if you can find one and talk to the people there. other people's individual experiences may not necessarily be completely illustrative of whichever place is in question, but it's better than nothing.
"Was there any life-changing thing going on at the Four Seasons?"
I mean maybe not in 2018, but give it about two years and the answer will _definitely_ be a yes
when i was in community college i lived in a dorm operated by a prive third party company. you didnt have to be a student to live in the dorms and somebody running a rehab clinic was telling them to live in the dorms. we had multiple overdose deaths in the semester that i was there
That's called an apartment. Dorms are places where you live on the college campus with only students, usually in a shared bedroom.
@@Uruz2012Nope. "College hall of residence or hostel." Neither of those have to be on campus or student-only. Another definition is also just a large bedroom for multiple people in a school or institution.
That is absolutely fúcking wild, but it's still 92% as wild in an apartment as in a dorm, and I don't think that counts as a dorm if it wasn't operated by the school and other people could live there.
16:00 John, are you really sure that's how you feel about horses? Do you want to stand by those statements for the foreseeable future?
I was pissed off. This wasn’t recommended to me faster.
Thank you John and the team 😊
The hand drumming and the AJ Styles pose is love and life
My uncle stopped smoking for a few years and then got a smoking problem (again) during his job watching people in rehab because the folks there would smoke to cope with not going into their other addictions
14:17 Wow I can't believe this is just the second joke regarding phone calls in chronological order (after the first one in S4 E5 8:24), it feels like John Oliver has made a lot more jokes about being in a phone call LOL
😂😂😂🤣🤣i said good day sir!!!!
3:35 Max Thunder doesn’t sound like a porn name: it sounds like a character from Hulk Hogans tv series Thunder In Paradise
Sounds like Mad Max's stage name
The best evidence I was able to find when I researched different addiction treatment approaches is that the best of them are only about (iirc) 30% effective, 12-step is probably about the same mark, but 12 step is free, which does make a difference. It's not for everyone but it seems to be a decent option for a first approach.
Excellent🎉. New full episode.
Thanks
Thank you John I am now going to open up a rehab facility in game the system I really do need a lot of money❤❤
1:45 was that a tiny little fart? I heard that!
It stems from lack of national regulations & oversight
"Wuv, twue wuv..."
Believe me when I say to you, "I hope the Russians love their children too."
Also: "The Soviet Union?! I thought you guys disbanded." - "Haha! That is what we wanted you to think!"
Not sure if that was by Sting or the Simpsons though...
"I hope the Russians love their children too."
Somehow I doubt they do
I felt so sad when John told Tom McLellan's son and the horse-hating dude died. There was fun and then I was brought back to the horrifying truth.
*Le Big Mac*
What do they call it in France when Empires collapse?
They don’t call it a baseball?
They have the metric system. They don’t know what a baseball is. They call it a “wiener.”
My "like" for this video is number 666.🤪
more or less the same, with mental health care...too little understanding of the problems, rest of society is parallel with the people going through their horror, too much profit, spineless amount of lies and faking sympathy...millions of lives and those who care can barely do anything, partly because there is not enough successful research, too much of it is still just guessing and experimentation (not the good kind), it is overwhelming and partly because too much corruption that takes away a lot from them...almost all cases, trauma...
It's interesting seeing him say something anti-horse considering his later horse-related comments...
Literally taking the piss.
7:34 Ow... racists! #racists
I want you to post the dates on these up front
There're more accents in Britain than just a London accent, you know. Educate yourself!
Nah all limey sound the same
Rehab is for quitters, just kiddimg
I MaDE tHe niNtH CoMmENt! (no but seriously I did, it's just that I don't see how _"first"_ is so special)
Because it proves that person is the fastest clicker and has the video recommended fastest?
Cool name. Good point. But have you considered the fact that you're a shitty dad @Ging-Freecs
I’m sorry I’m gonna have to disagree with you. Dave & Buster’s is like the highest point in anybody’s life Mr. Oliver. Lol and I'm the 20th comment
2018 episode uploaded near the end of 2024?
they´re posting vintage episodes during summer break 🙂 i for one im grateful, there are many awesome ones i never saw, like this one!👍
@@pennyelainesfair enough.
Yes.What are you confused about?
@@jeffdroog read the thread. It's literally for replies including this one.
Is this new?

S5 E12
What's the deal here? It says 1 hour ago and I have seen this before! Long time ago!
Yeah,the past happened.What are you confused about?
The main story was posted as a clip. They are now posting entire seasons, which includes the look back at the week before the “And Now” segments and the ending bits.
@@JaneKaplun-js4lp You may have used far too many large words for this person lol
@@jeffdroogor maybe-just MAYBE-you were needlessly snarky about it, and their response was perfectly clear and reasonable.
@soldiaz7261 Even asking why something YOU have seen before,is being released for OTHERS to see,makes this person the most narcissistic piece of trash I've ever had the displeasure of interacting with lol
first
A
First?
First comment! Ha
People who get addicted or weak. If you were doing drugs and alcohol, you were a loser.
What are you if you're doing drugs/alcohol _now_ , though? And what _about_ people who "get addicted *or* weak"? Care to finish your statement?
@@moogle68” addiction” is an excuse for people who are lazy and week? It is not a real thing. It is a made up excuse. they don’t want to stop drinking or doing drugs. because if they wanted to stop drinking or doing drugs, they would just stop drinking or doing drugs.
@@MrJimmy-fl2bn 😂😂 The extent of your scientific/medical knowledge only seems to go as far as knowing that sex is where babies come from. Do you not believe in psychological disorders in general either? Why don't blind people just use their eyes? Why don't cripples just walk? Why don't schizophrenic people just stop hallucinating? Why don't people with depression just stop being sad?
Do you drink coffee and tea or eat chocolate because caffeine is a drug?
Eating sugar releases opioids and dopamine in our bodies. This is the link between added sugar and addictive behavior. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is a key part of the “reward circuit” associated with addictive behavior.
19:22 Somehow though, that soft voice talking about this is more disturbing than the visuals of urine filled cups and dollar signs.
6:39 anyone else remember "covfefe"?
I think about it at least once a day. And hamberders. And “whose boat is this boat?”
