Steve is starting to develop old-man-listening face.
And I love it ❤️
I was wondering the face!
Haha 🤣
I read this looked up and it was supper true. He was reaching with his face to hear better
We stan a good listener face, young or old
@@MissDarlaDeville I totally agree with what you stan.
I worked with this guy on a set once. It’s crazy how these mean, abusive actors can easily spin their image with and interview or two. This man was disrespectful, loud, and honestly he was like taking care of a baby. No excuses for the way he treats a crew.
Is this Ryan Reynolds?
Yeah it’s a bummer most people don’t get to experience him the way you did. I have no doubt he’s someone else when the cameras are off.
I’ve read plenty of stories of how much of a nightmare he was to work with. So much so that Silicon Valley couldn’t keep up with him.
Yeah I’ve heard a lot about sexual harassment and horrible behavior from him in the industry (I know nothing just read stories) I don’t doubt his TBI / mental issues have played a part, but I also think there’s no excuse for how you treat your peers and co workers
Agreed. No excuses. He should be apologizing in every sentence he makes excuses at the very least.
Fake news
TJ’s neuropsychologist must also be his lawyer
You know his mom is a psychologist and his dad is a lawyer right?
That is a bullseye statement. Brilliant
i love how Stevo-o gives his entire attention to all of his guests. definitely one of my favorite podcasters and people in general
Wait til he gets the breast implants
Hearing TJ and Steve o talking about this really helps to understand, and to realize that someone who is having an episode may just need the proper help rather then to be dismissed as crazy. Thanks for sharing this TJ and Steve o.
I was diagnosed with an AVM in 2011 … my life after recovering has been a whirlwind of emotions and battling impulse control and fits of anger. It’s hard , but I have always been an extremist. I was never told about a medication that could help but thanks to seeing this I’m going back to my neurologist because I feel the seasonal depression kicking in and that’s my least favorite of the whole thing that I fight all winter long . As TJ knows … it’s not something that we can talk about with anyone so even tho I’m sad you had this , I’m glad to know I’m not alone ❤️🤙🏼
Hello fellow AVM survivor!
It's amazing how many people are dismissing of his condition. It's actually kind of gross.
I love the episodes where SteveO has other people who dealt with drugs and mental illness when younger. As another member of that club, I find it really fun to listen to the crazy old stories and also how they ended up getting out of that cycle
Are you also a pedophile and rapist? Bc Tj is
He’s helped me so much to get clean. I will go to his videos often when I’m struggling
Good. But never forget definition of addiction...
Same man same.
Shut up. No one cares. We aren't here for you or your story.
Stevos face when he’s listening is so wholesome
Thank you Steve-O for providing a candid platform in which people like you and TJ can have human and real conversations.
We are all either born with or develop all kinds of physical/mental afflictions that are stigmatized. Many of these are only problems because of our social construct.
I would have never known about your history or TJ's that explains what is stigmatized in the media. Thank you and I hope both of you continue to navigate this world and provide joy to people
This is one of the most thoughtful, and supportive comments I’ve ever seen in a yt comments section. The world can always use more of this type of sentiment, especially in regards to mental health & well being.
I think alot of mental health issues are overplayed as reasons to misbehave or commit crime or not pay their bills on time. Other then that im with you.
Amazingly real conversation. That anyone dealing with substance issue should watch.
I had a traumatic brain injury & it's caused lasting mental effects. This is so inspiring, sooo glad to hear someone with a serious brain injury doing amazing.
Dude as someone who struggles with mania/depression him talking about being addicted to getting manic is one the most accurate descriptions of life with bipolar I’ve ever seen in the media. It portrays the truth of the illness and how people who suffer from it can suffer from thinking that’s been twisted to this point.
Mania really is my favourite drug
Yeah it's kinda fun to feel like a literal God who doesn't need sleep lol
I agree. I am schizoaffective, which is schizophrenic with bipolar. I have been deeply affected by these brain disorders and fully know what a flat out psychotic episode is like. It is addictive, but I have learned to be sort of "scared" of it, and medicate properly with psych meds and various cannabinoids; nothing else.
@@johnphantom I feel the fear aspect as well. I sometimes get afraid that I’m feeling positively at all, like if I’m feeling confident I might actually be manic.
I've been chasing my mania for 27 years. It feels so good. I cannot describe how good it feels. But I need to control it and am getting help.
I had a stroke in 2019 due to an AVM behind my right eye when I was 23. Man this clip did some stuff for me in more ways than one. I can’t even begin to express it in words. Thank you
Hahahahahah
@@dudeimgeorge youre cool. Age is really showing right now little fella :)
@@Mundanemediocrity lmao
What was that like?
You can easily tell when mania sets in because you'll be able to do stuff at an extremely high level you never before thought possible, but you'll also be susceptible to overdoing things because you feel invincible which can lead to negative consequences.
SteveO is so patient as an interviewer.
He doesn’t add much but his own personal anecdotes. Steve-o is kind of an idiot.
I think he's genuinely interested in other people
his voice is kinda iconic cuz it’s been in such a wide variety of shows and he’s played so many odd characters 😂
Your thinking of Jason Lee.
They sound the same.
@@TheDogDad no … they don’t …
It's so weird hearing them talk about this. I started experiencing the same thing when my girlfriend passed away, and found her in our bedroom. Your mind plays so many tricks on you. Suspicious, depressive, anxious, and an alert feeling I can't describe. Using drugs or alcohol is so temporary, even when meds are prescribed. Regardless of the situation, the feeling is still there.
But I do remember wanting to be in that manic state to see if I can overcome it. Trying to find a real feeling instead of constant shock. Like a dark shadow you become friends with. You want to understand what's happening to you, but you never make sense of it.
Man. What a trip, they're explaining exactly how it feels, consuming substances or not, it happens to regular people.
Sorry about your girlfriend J E
The description you provided is interesting and eye-opening. The human mind is so fragile yet resilient. It's truly baffling.
@@johnbags2525 WTF?
Damn man. And I thought I’ve been through some shit. You’re one tough fckr, keep your head up bro and keep on pushing through!
I found my mom in her bedroom as well. She had a heart attack in her sleep two years ago. She was by far the most influential and loving person I had in my life. Every second of the first year felt like hell, but it's getting better. Some of the stuff TJ was describing was definitely relatable, not all of it, but it sounds familiar I can't lie. I can't really trust anybody except close family and friends. That's normal I guess, but It's hard for me to open up cause I feel like everyone's out to get me. If you don't mind me asking - did you suffer the same condition that TJ was talking about? Or just the emotional part? I've only ever used marijuana as a medication for anxiety and depression. No prescriptions. It's working, but ya boi got grey hairs and I'm fucking 21. Somethings up, no? xD
These talks are so humanizing. Thanks for doing these Steve-O.
I have a frontal lobe brain injury and he has all the same symptoms I do . This honestly helped me knowing I'm not the only one .
I’m like this without the damage
@OleGustus then you know haha . The second you think something is going down...... it's on ...... even if there's nothing going on 🤣 🤣 🤣
@@Oleogustus me too 😂😂😂😂😂
The people saying "no excuse" for sure voted Biden. its insane that they just ignore that as an issue with his behavior.
After the three TBIs is endured, this shit hits me right in the feels... especially with manic bipolar depression and anxiety AND substance abuse issues.
I feel you man. I hit rock bottom last night. Keep on keepin on.
Wish you the best
Man, great podcast great intro. I AM HOPING HES BEING HONEST AND TRUE. He's really does do a great job telling this story and his problems in the beginning.
I cannot account for any of it’s accuracy EXCEPT rare side effects of keppra are psych issues: Psychiatric and behavioral abnormalities
Psychotic symptoms, paranoid ideation, hallucinations, and behavioral problems (including aggressive behavior, agitation, anger, anxiety, apathy, confusion, depersonalization, depression, emotional lability, hostility, dyskinesia, irritability, nervousness, neurosis, and personality disorder) may occur in adult and pediatric patients
Compared to some of the older drugs we have that were literally toxic so required close level monitoring, could kill your livers and your hearts, keppra is the safer alternative for sure. BUT everyone ALWAYS forgets about the psych side effects because it’s relatively so much safer than say phenytoin or valproic acid. However, i’ve seen a harmless grandma fall, have a TBI, get put on keppra then hulk smash her way through multiple nurses/ security in a psychotic episode from the keppra. Pharmacy always gotta be involved in this stuff cause we recognized it right away and switched her to vimpat actually!
Source: pharmacist and uptodate
Great to listen to this. I have had substance abuse problems, suffered from mental health issues, and I am also on keppra for neurological issues, so this really spoke to me! It's so comforting when you hear people have similar experiences to you.
yeah, i suffer from mania my self. and this dude just had some things to say that just hit home.
TJ you are the man. This is a new level for me. Embracing who I am. And making a plan to improve myself and plan for the future instead of wishing it would all go away. Thank you guys
Never let anyone take you away from yourself. You deserve to be making a plan and improving yourself - whatever that looks like for you. Good on you for choosing yourself, I know it’s hard to do but I try to remember it’s is a daily choice. You are worth it.
@@ellemarr7234 thank you Elle
@15subaruSTI, I'm so happy to read about your shift! You deserve lots of love! I am certain that you have a world of things to be grateful for! May you find strength to live your best life, today and always ❤️❤️❤️
@@SimpLeeBeth thank you for the kind words Beth. That was very nice of you
@@SimpLeeBeth hope you have room for one more. I subscribed your channel. And again, thank you for being so nice.
👏👏 finally a podcast with a link to the full episode in the description thank you
I don't ever really share my addiction. I feel for anyone that is a addict or been a addict! I was bad addict on a lot things but at the end I was hook on that more purier form of heroin that hit the west coast over ten years ago when they took the oxycontin away. I was very addicted to those 80mg blueish ones. But I am happy to say I finally walked myself into treatment December 26th 2012. Cuz I wanted to spend x mas with my parents and family before I walked myself in. And never looked back and now will have ten years clean and sober this December 26th. This year. Like I said I don't normally share. For whatever reason idk. But for all those that are suffering from any addiction. You can do it and get clean no matter how dark it gets and your never a lost cause no matter how much the drug tells you are! Fight the fight! Your worth it always! ❤️
Yah they used to call it 'pure'? Story similar for me. Got started on thos oxy 80s.. which led to heroin. Congrats on since 2012!!! My clean date is only aug. 17th this year.. free from fent h and meth FINALLY. Been trying to get to this point for so many years!
@NCKfrmthaNW. Thanks. Any clean time is good clean time. Congrats on getting clean since August 17th. Your doing great. Keep it up. It's not worth going back. Sober life is so much better! Keep up the fight! Use your resources! Keep your head up! Proud of you,!
@@nckfrmthapnw - Congrats to you both, it gets better. I used for 27 years (everything) and have been clean for 4 years now. Anything is possible.....
@@crazyjoedavola5430 Thanks! Congrats to you also! 27 years is a long time! That's amazing you have 4 years clean now! It feels good to hear that! Keep up the good work! Much love!
@@Jessy_247 heck yah!! Cant see myself going back at this point. I get it, things can happen. But, something just seemed to click differently for me this time. Whatever the case, im riding this wave to victory!!! Thanks for the kind words. Anyone that beats addiction is a champion and it is very much worth the temporary pain to get to that greener grass on the other side!
so thankful for tj for bringing awareness to AV malformations 🙏
As a bipolar person, mania is like being on a stimulant while being clean
I'm bipolar too. It's wrecked my marriage due to me making dumb impulsive decisions. I've been committed 3 times. Insomnia too wasn't put on meds until I was 27. I'm 32 now. Good luck my man. Know you're not alone and the illness doesn't define you.
I met TJ in Dublin at the Vodafone Comedy Festival a few years back, we drank Whiskey, smoked and spent a couple of hours together and it was an absolute privilege to meet him and the lads! Legend!
Sure you did.
@@kayrenee8356 I definitely did ya spoon 😂 met Chris Redd too
Fascinating story. Glad it worked out for you all !
My brother & I actually in the same boat at Steve-O. Both of us have been warned by multiple doctors to keep eyes out for the side effects of CTE because there’s no way to know until we die.
I got it from playing football
Thx man.
Good to hear you got some solutions. Always be a fan, no matter what
🍀💙😎
As someone who takes Keppra for seizures I feel you thanks Steveo for this podcast keppra has saved me helped me but the other drug pill he was telling after keppra never took cause never had a problem with keppra
Steve-O is fast becoming one of the best podcast hosts out there
Its a stretch but maybe top 20 for sure
Dude, one quick statement keeps echoing in my head, when TJ asked his doc if he’d still be funny! It’s what makes life worth living. Can more people please expand on this? Just as an unprofessional chuckle head I couldn’t agree more. Bringing levity and joy out of all the darkness does keep me going, and make it worth keeeping on going when everything else does not. I’d love to hear your take and just about anyone else’s on the hows and why’s this is so fucking important to some, and so slept on by most. Much love, ~Ryno
But what’s even funnier about that little story he tells us is it’s not funny, and not even true. This guy’s a douche.
If all you had to do to have the life you desire in every aspect, all you needed to do to have it is to say it out loud as accurately as possible, what would you say?
@@heyitsfp help.
@@Killryno666 you have a magical lamp.
a genie comes out.
what do you wish for?
be precise.
@@heyitsfp infinite wishes. I am flawed and prone to fail. More wishes.
TJ is such a likeable dude and his voice and personality is so animated. This is one of Steve-O's best episodes. All 3 dudes in this have a great energy and vibe. I really enjoyed this.
The dude is lile the most unlikable person on earth..
Wtf are you talking about?
Man’s a creep wtf lmao
Stevo doing the math on the amount of cartridges per box was like watching Kevin do math on pies.
I'm glad to see this!!!! I always felt like TJ got a raw deal in his career after that medical event that he had
I remember hearing voices when I was extremely sleep deprived, about 4 days and I wasn't expecting to hear voices let alone what sounded like hundreds. Like walking into a mall with your eyes closed. Constant chatter with bits of a conversation every now and again.
Was it drug induced?
@@jandera21 No. I had insomnia and was told to try and stay awake as long as I could then go sleep at a normal time to reset my sleep schedule. It took longer than expected.
Sounds like a temporary onset of schizophrenia.
Oh snap man that’s scary. I’m a night owl and reading “Why We Sleep” just reinforces why I have to change. Our bodies just don’t have a fighting chance. It’ll make mental issues way worse and physical issues incapable of real recovery.
@@te9591 eh, been fine since. As far as I know. Now I'm 36 and in bed by 8pm. Honestly I was young and most kids that age stay up all night. It was my alone time away from the world and it got out of hand. It became the only part of the day to look forward to. So I had to fix it.
I have a TBI and his description mirrored my experience.
I’m glad he’s talking about this, and he’s gotten to the right people, to treat him properly.
I personally think this guy is generally unlikable, but he seems really sincere about this issue and I hope it helps people.
This is the most tactful comment ever and yet a slight little sass.
Very unlikable. For most people, it's probably the bragging
Not only did he flex about the standard hits like flying others to the set, paying for women, buying expensive drugs, etc...
But also the I'm special in a wierd way flexes ranging from I'm in a small percentage of people who didn't die but now have to take this drug to I'm a case study bc I'm the highest profile successful person with this condition.
@@lrm52283 what if HE WAS one of the few who didn't die and was a case study? If you go through something "special" should you not speak of it cause people will think you're trying to be special?
@@user-nf9xm7is3m highly unlikely given everytime he speaks, he's something special. Statistically much more likely he has grandiose thoughts than he's top or best or most unusual in every aspect of his life
He is so full of it🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡Dude just admit it, you are prick. No beige❤️❤️❤️
I have that overgrowth growing around my spine, I’ve had surgeries but none were successful, shit is painful
I was sitting at Local’s Only in New York about 3 years ago. Looked down the bar and TJ was there. We ended up having a really wonderful conversation about celebrity, life, comedy. Really cool day. I know a bunch of folks are gunning here - I had a really great 1 on 1 experience with the guy.
Holy hell, he has been through it. As soon as he said that he lost a big part of his right frontal lobe, it all made sense. I hope he stays healthy - he is a hell of a talent.
This dude is a toolbag
Always loved TJ Miller, Silicon Valley was the best show ever. Wish him all the best in life.
I have TBI from IEDs and landmines exploding in proximity. PTSD and Anxiety too bro. It happens. You’re not alone. There’s lots of us out here.
Awesome interview. TJ is a killer live, go watch!
I had a teacher at second City in Chicago, when silicon valley was on TV. And I asked about TJ Miller and she just rolled her eyes and said "Oh, yeah, I remember TJ".
I’ve worked in the mental health field for almost 10 years and he is describing EXACTLY the mania I’ve seen first hand. Usually people are wrong about mania, he’s for sure accurate on its description.
I'd say it's indicative of someone who can afford the healthcare/healthcare coverage he needs (and then chooses to utilize it, of course.) But, my point being... most of us can't gain the knowledge and skills TJ has, due to the huge financial barriers.
Personally, I have been blessed with access to quality providers, fairly good healthcare coverage (throughout most of my life), and enough "disposable" income to fair pretty well, BUT... I could be doing a hell of a lot better, if money weren't a barrier between myself and additional services! I wish everyone could at least get the marginal help I have received 😄🤪💯
Is it me or does anyone else think TJ looks like Ricky from the trailer park boys in that outfit?
Steve O’s honesty is legendary. Scary stuff but I’m glad we can laugh at it now. Changed his whole life. Congrats boss 🙏🙏🙏
I love this, I used to have a love\hate relationship with NO² as well, and it's not something that really gets talked about from the users side and it's cool that you can feel more normal when hearing other people's experiences
I went from nitrous to a serious ether habit. I was on a different planet for awhile
I’ve been watching and listening to Steve-O for many years and I think he is a really good person.
No he isn’t. He’s mister sober, self righteous tool.
@@rustyshack1707 I don’t equate any of those qualities to being a bad person, but to each, his own.
TJ Miller has always had this crazy impulsive ultra creative persona. He is an Amazing comedian. I hope he is able to keep it under control and keep healthy.
Thank you for talking about this. I
his new standup special is great. Glad to see him getting back out there in the mix of the comedy world.
I kinda feel bad for judging him so quickly before. It’s great to see TJ in a good light again. He’s SO FUCKIN funny and witty. I hope we all see him in more stuff
For me I think it was that he played a tool so well on Silicon Valley that when the news started saying he was an actual tool it was like oh I guess he wasn't so much acting. 😅
Glad to know that I was wrong tho
He flashes a tiny shred of humility and everyone kisses his feet 🙄 I'm so tired of people placing the blame of their bad behavior on mental illness while clearly not putting in very much leg work in maintaining it. Practically everyone has a disorder at this point, not saying they are fake because I have gnarly anxiety issues. But if you take no steps to combat those issues and just play the apology game after the fact, pointing at the Illness as the cause, you do a disservice to the rest of us who put in REAL effort to live normal lives. SO many peers have come out and said he was demeaning and rude to them, and never dropped that act. Maybe he is method, maybe he is overwhelmed, but that doesn't detract from the fact that he is very likely an asshole. My dad's best friend since childhood was shot in the head during a robbery and lived albeit with brain tissue being removed. He's one of the nicest people I know, and the only side effect he says he gets is headaches which he smokes weed for, and apparently a loss of fear for his life.
I agree with you on , one needs to work on their issues, which clearly he is , he’s on medication and doing that cognitive thing he mentioned to bring himself down. Just so you know you can’t compare your dad’s buddies brain damage to this guys. Obviously thee dude effects are going to be different for different people and the difference in tbe brain damage they received.
If all of what he is saying is true...damn that's very sad, feel bad for the guy
this was a really good segment. very humanizing for TJ. I'm glad to know about this because it's so much better than the warped and fucked up image we all had from when his career went off the rails due to these issues that nobody really knew about outside of his close friends and family I guess... or from the sound of it, even he didn't really know until later.
sounds like a excuse for bad behavior to me.
Steveo -" so how was your drug use and recovery "
Title of video
Tj addresses drug use 😂😂😂
man I had no idea TJ had a story like this 🙏🏻
TJ is such a sweetheart. He takes time to reply to comments on his UA-cam channel. I'll always be a fan.
It’s probably his nephew the social media manager
Don't wanna burst your bubble, but this guy is not a nice human being. He is a much documented ahole. The entire cast and crew of the show he was on disliked him. Ryan Reynolds dislikes him. He's abused his partners. Called a bomb threat on a old lady cause she wouldn't give her seat up. Not once, even in this conversation, has he taken any accountability for his actions. Fuck this guy.
@@si_quest don't ruin my dream! ;)
Ditto. Forever. Got a great schtick with or without whatever. Fun, smart, quick….my kind of friend
@@pali1H haha
TJ thank you for explaining it like that go through the same shit.
Great interview lol and when Steve O said I'm always fucking tired I hate it yup I 100%agree with that and TJ I'm sure your an awesome great dude and nice person. Hope to see you when you come to SA, Texas.
Hearing TJ say he has never done coke just blew my mind. My blow-dar is off.
Same, haha
“Yay-dar”
He's a Hollywood dude, you can't believe everything he says. He's probably just trying to manage his public image.
@@Personalapocalypse77.why on earth would he seriously give a fuck at this point though man literally
I took a couple big hits of NOS while peaking on LSD, a booming male voice clearly said "Game over, you win a cookie"
You heard me?
My bro has epilepsy, and keppra messes him up but it’s crazy how it saves him. He has a horrible time sleeping too. I’ll ask about voices tmrw lol
It's awesome to hear about a respected comedian dealing with a brain injury. Brain injurys are often hidin away.
It’s like when we do drugs we get a small inkling of what it feels like to be our soul, detached from our physical body.
8:45 wow! Did you notice that when he starts talking about nitrous Steve goes for a drink of his 'bottle'. That in itself is probably brain damage which they referred to just previously.
Then does a bottle shake at 11:11
Very good catch
Damn great observation gave me chills. That word subconsciously triggered his mind into treating his bottle as a nitrous canister and going through old motions as if it was one
Pretty sure he was just seeing if there was any water in there...
he brought up COFFEE which made him drink and he shook it to see how much he had left! Dont apply for your doctorate just yet....
@@joeybelloise9277 exactly
Thank you for this.
I remember going and seeing TJ do stand up at the improve in KCMO right after he did Cloverfield. I had just got the circle game tattoo on my thigh, well I had to get him. Figured he'd appreciate it. He found it hilarious! Still have the pic on my FB. Me and my friends are outside the venue getting ready to leave. TJ walks out on his phone.people are saying hey good show show, stuff like that, he tells them thanks but you could tell he's trying to focus on his phone call. He walks past me and my friends. I say thanks again and we wave. He then goes hang on to whoever he was on the phone with and put his hand over the speaker. Then said thank you for coming out, y'all drive safe and again man, thats a sweet tattoo, and my delivery was funny AF. Everyone has there up and downs. But he didn't have to do that, he could've just kept walking by or waved or thanked me like he did everyone else. Crazy how one moment or permanent tattoo can change your outlook on life lol
8:50 I thought Steveo pulled out some nitrous for a second lol
I loved this clip! I had a brain tumor when I was 10 it took two surgeries to remove it. I have now have many medical conditions from it due to the tumor touching my brain stem but not protruding into it. I now have a condition called Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, as well as OCD, chronic migraines, and narcolepsy because of the surgeries. I am now studying to be a neuropsychologist.
So in the future when seeing a patient and you suddenly fall asleep, ............ wait a minute. Isn't a neuropsychologist just a psychologist?? I think you successfully trolled me.
@@tarico4436 nope I’m not trolling this is only a small portion of my life story that people can’t people. There is all so the gaslighting doctors, the gaslighting family, and the narcissistic psychologically abusive father. I have been told by many I should write a book.
I have mild narcolepsy it is controlled by medication and neuropsychologist is a specialty psychologist. My internet to to help close head brain injured patients like myself.
@@craftingemily Well, I'm a people, but if I haven't been peopling properly, then excuse me.
@@tarico4436 no your fine, I would rather have people ask questions then give me strange looks for being disabled.
@@craftingemily I am not now nor was I ever having problems with you, emily. My question has to do with "psychology" vs "neuropsychology." Psych has to do with the mind, and neuro has to do with the mind.
Filming Yogi Bear 3D and invite two strangers you met on chat roulette to fly down to thr movie shoot while your drinking and doing nitrous and hella depressed. LMAO awesome
steve looks so good for 48. so happy for both of these guys
I had no idea TJ was dealing with these problems. Man, good for him for getting it figured out
💯
AMAZING STORY! He will definitely get back on track after people understand all of this!!
Steve-o. How bananas would it be if you got your drug counseling license and had a Steve-o recovery-o show-o
Steveo was so excited to speak to a fellow nitrous oxide enthusiast lol
This is stuff I suffer from but I don't have a brain injury to point to... diagnosed with acute anxiety and depression as well as ADHD and maybe all 3 of those create the same instances/scenarios? Either way, I'll admit, I was kinda "down" on ol' TJ after all the reports of him being a douche or a creep or whatever. I'm glad he talked openly about this to the public. Should he have to? No, not really, he has a right to privacy, but it's good for awareness sake but also that he kinda save his name. Thanks for this Steve-O!
I met his wife and him at the restaurant I worked at. I had an awesome experience meeting them both. He walked into the kitchen and told everyone how awesome the food was. And we all went and drank and shot pool together after we got off. I mostly chatted with his wife bc I can’t pool and her and I talked about health care and she gave me some resources. I’d say it was one of the coolest and most genuine experiences I’ve ever had. Especially since normal people around me treat me like I don’t exist but they both took the time to hang out with me.
good stuff, steve rocks!! two legends, tj is hilarious!!!
SteveO: so you had a drinking problem?
TJ: I had a lobotomy
Steve-O's answer to TJ asking him if he is brain damaged should have been.... "ummmm I don't really remember".
That brain scan would be good to see on episode. Could help a lot for some people
Mental illness is so hard, stay strong out there everyone 💪
Speak for yourself bro. Don't go promoting a statement like that to young impressionable kids. Man the fuck up and do what needs to be done to survive and live comfortable. Stop being a fucking bitch.
Glad I found this cuz I've been wondering about t.j. always liked his stuff it seemed bugged wen he started doin weird stuff glad he got the help
Is the framerate slow on anyone elses or could it just be my phone messing up?
TJ has a special place In my heart. Love the dude.
You aren't born with a TBI, correct.
What I think happened is (because his behavior is WELL documented before he even had a TBI) he got wasted in some way, passed out, and hit his head.
I know someone who got a TBI like that. My friend was too drunk, stood up too fast after tying his shoe, then immediately passed out and went face first into a stone wall.
I've also passed out and cracked my head on an industrial fan, luckily, I didn't get anything other than a concussion.
No but when that thing bursts then you get the TBI
Love these guys!
this is legit why i dont take medication. bc i can handle the depression part (most of the time) but the mania just feels so damn good and feels like i have a super power i would hate to surpress that part of me which is terrifying cause it never leads to anything good. but also bc im so black and white it feels like its when im my best self, bc it is, if im not manic, im depressed af. i know that i will come out of the depression, and i dont know its happening untill a few days later but damn im so thankful for that bc i know i will always come out.
edit* also bc I developed worse metal illness after getting few concussions, i feel im not worthy to take medication, its not a chemical imbalance, its bc ive rattled my brain and its injured, i feel medication isn't appropriate for me and will not fix me, just suppress symptoms i will always have bc of my TBI's
ALSO my brother was on kepra and had massive side effects, anger, impulsive, (he was on it bc of seizures and pretty sure he got them from his brain injurys, he has an injured left frontal lobe and a bleed) whatever that means. moral of the story its all connected. brain injury makes people sick. and changes them completelysomeone
I just want to say thank you steve-o. This sounds crazy but I know he’d understand. I’m an addict and I’m 23 and I’ll be sober for a year in 3 months but my version of being sober has changed because I always thought that being sober means being 100% clean from any and all substances. In my eyes being sober for me is learning about everything you take and it not being something you depend on to be happy or just to go about your day. My substance or choice was xans and coke and I haven’t done them since but I’ve used other things but I’m not using it as a crutch. Drugs are taboo and for that reason there’s not much research and studies that’s been done about the illegal drugs so not many people actually understand the substances or why people use them. Drugs have been used by people and animals (yes animals) since forever but we used them for certain occasions like ceremonies for eg. If you test your stuff and you not using every day, and month then you should be able to do so but addicts are addicts because they build up a reliance and that’s the thing that’s the issue because that just leads you down nothing good. If your able to beat that and really understand that you can manage whatever you do and take then do it but only if you can because obviously I don’t want people to relapse because I’m telling them what I do. Remember I’m not using the stuff that I have issues with but that doesn’t mean I’m not able to create the same issues with other things it just means I’ve learnt that I put myself in a situation where I was forced to do everything on my own so if I mess up I’m on my own , no hand outs or no one to enable me. What I wanted to get at is you put your life out there for everyone to see since you were a kid and I used you as something to look back on and say “ if Steve-o can change and become the person he is today then I can do it too” and it really helped me I just need to take the steps. Lol I’m basically saying thanks for all the shit you’ve gone through to help me see that there’s light at the end of the tunnel. I really appreciate who you are today too and it makes me happy knowing your in a good space and killing the game, books, comedy and this UA-cam sheet. I hope I meet you someday soon and maybe get to have a very long conversation because I’d love to learn more about you on a personal level and I’d open up to you. Obviously that’s crazy but I ain’t have money to come see your shows and I’m in Pennsylvania and broke but working on it lol. Love you man
Cocaine post.
More xans required son.
Also i don't think you know what sober means.
it looks like they have really good cameras for stevo and TJ and then they use a potato to film the other dude when they do the close ups lol
"One of my voices was Tommy Lee" 😆
How did neither of these guys have a hook up for a full blown nitrous tank instead of those whipits
Stupid luck,lol
he deserves a hug taking the surgery gamble
look forward to seeing TJ again. Silicon Valley was so good when he was in it!
I think I fished out from a bong hit one time! I took a hit and held it while I walked out of my room and down the stairs, I exhaled at the bottom of the stairs and hit the floor. It only lasted a second or 2, but that hit hit different...
Steve-o's facial expressions makes me think of a tim and Eric sketch
Ambien has been my drug of choice for years. And I find it is do to my infatuation with mania.
I have been in and out of sobriety all due to this struggle with ambien and the love of madness.
I'm either starting the day off with a line of ambien. Or I am in the rooms of
AA/NA.
Ambien is such a weird drug. I always felt like there were people in the room with me while in this dream like, half sleep/half awake state. I'd be having weird, disjointed conversations with myself (aloud and in my head), but it felt like there was another presence there that I was talking to. It was believable but at the same time I never took so much that I could fully lose myself in it. The high from snorting was a little different, but still weird as hell. Almost like being drunk and stoned in a lucid dream. Not my kind of thing. Can def see how a person into the mania or madness feeling would fall in love with it though.
Hope you find a way to kick it if that's what you want one day.
@@andrew69007 Its crazy you say that. I have seen security videos where I am have disjointed conversations with no-one. And yet I am convinced that the someone or something was there. I think the stuff has the same properties of what shaman use. Cause it's eaarie.. ya I am done.
Almost have a year clean!!
