John would make an amaaaaazzzing therapist in a second life. You can see how compassionately he starts to shoot the questions back to theo with deep, empathic deliberation as he begins to realize those are issues theo's really trying to explore for his own healing of his inner child. But he never takes on any air of pity or holier than thou. He genuinely cares and knows he will also gain a deeper understamding of his own journey. I can relate so deeply to both of these guys; their experience of addiction, their childhood wounds and ongoing journey's of becoming the person your inner child has been waiting for.

I'm 3 years sober from heroin, speed and Xanax (and well, everything else that I could take) after having been hooked on it since I was 14 (I'm 33 now, so it was 16 years of abuse), and this was a fantastic conversation to listen to right now. I really needed it today, because I ran into one of my old dealers/friends earlier today and he knows I'm clean so he didn't push something on me, just said hi and asked me how it's going and that he's proud of me - it was nice to see him since he wasn't just my dealer, he was a good friend who I just can't be friends with anymore, and he didn't do anything wrong at all, but I just got that extreme feeling of "I NEED DOPE AND XANAX ASAP!" and the feeling is still there, so I'm trying to get through it by listening to good people talking about good things, and that's where this episode comes in. You've basically saved me from falling back. I was so close to calling another one of my old dealers before I listened, and now that feeling is _almost_ gone. Thank you, it's life saving. I'm gonna do my part now and just hold on to my sobriety with all my might, because I can't count on finding the perfect podcast every time this feeling comes. I was just so surprised at how strong that need was. I haven't felt it in a looong time, and it shook me to my core. Keep it up! Congrats on one year (and the time since) Theo!

I so relate to John's story. I got sober at 24 years old, stayed sober inAA for 34 years. Broke my wrist rollerskating with my granddaughter, had to have surgery, and was given fentonyl and sent home with oxy. This triggered a slow controlled relapse into prescription pills and later illegal internet drugs. At 60 years old, I lost my job nearly died from benzo and opiate addiction, and landed back in treatment and aftercare. I am now 4 years sober. That saying that the disease keeps progressing even when your sober is true.

I really appreciate how Theo, when talking about the girl he tried to "smooch" in the taxi, recognized that while he (and possibly both of them) was under the influence took her rejection as "mean", but focused on how HE interpreted it as mean while still saying she wasn't actually being mean in the rejection but that is how he took it. He recognizes now that a lot of women (not just women) when they reject men are labeled mean or rude for rejecting advances solely because the person who was being rejected took it that way.

John Mulaney’s version of drug addiction is almost identical to mine. I always used drugs as a thing to “enhance” myself and would balance things out with mixtures, and stayed in good shape so no one would notice. Also, when he says he feels like he’s in a movie with it, I felt that on such a deep level. The drugs make me feel like I’m the main character and everything is somehow gonna work out. I haven’t used in about 2 years now, but it’ll still be on my mind daily.

That's the best place to do something about it. Because when you go down a pit of depression and everything goes wrong, you'll just be able to stop the emergency, but not get to the root of it. I say it as someone who spend about 10 years on a deep depression. That feeling you get, it's because you know something is wrong and can be better. Go for it and get a little therapy, it's great on the other side of knowing what was wrong. Good Luck.

Dude, I burst into tears and stop the video at least once every 20 mins or so...I'm even taking notes. Here's my favorite one so far that just hit me like a truck: "Part of me doesn't want to grow up because I still want the things I deserved as a child. It makes me hate growing up because I can never get back there" (Theo). Had me sobbing for a solid minute or two. And to add to your observation how Mulaney made a dark topic lighter again, I loved how when Theo was legit shedding a tear and was afraid that might make him sound like a baby, Mulaney said "first of all, what's wrong with a baby?! They're pretty interesting." I thought that was hilarious and some nice comic relief after Theo's insanely vulnerable moment (1:43:08). So, yeah, totally grateful for this authentic conversation and all the insights / knowledge bombs they're sharing as well as for the complex emotions they're articulating so eloquently. I already thought John Mulaney's new special was therapeutic and brave and ballsy af, then I found this podcast episode... (as this is already a wall of text I might as well add two more lines and mention my favorite quote from the special: "I was always worried about what other people thought of me. Now I'm like 'what could they possibly do that's worse than what I did to myself?!'. You want to cancel John Mulaney? I tried to kill him. I almost did.").

​@@depressionbeard9882 that Theo quote did exactly the same for me when I heard it. It hit me like a ton of bricks. I'd never heard my inner feelings verbalized that way and it made total sense to me. I knew exactly what he meant in that moment.

hearing how theo thought about himself while going through addiction was the first time i ever heard someone have the same exact thoughts as i did, theo the goat fr

This podcast was amazing. I had ZERO clue John Mulaney was in recovery. I too entered rehab March 10 2020, 7 days before the world shut down. Today marks a year since my OD on Fentanyl. Woke up 6 days later in ICU. I am grateful to be alive today and am grateful for podcasts like this. ODAAT

That exchange was absolutely perfect. John “you have this thing where you make the audience think you don’t know what you’re doing but you do know what your doing. Like that time about Malcom in middle” Theo: immediately demonstrates that he does not in fact know what he’s doing at all 😂😂😂 Love both these guys, what a real conversation.

Best podcast I heard from addict perspective. Theo speaking about feeling you get when losing hope and John speaking from a "high functioning" perspective. It boosts my mentality to stop fucking myself up no more

“This is it. This is what I wanted… and it’s pretty cool... But having a goal really kept me occupied…. and I wasn’t sure if I had another one.” - i felt this in my *soul*

I appreciate how open John has been about his addiction and recovery. Not only on this pod but everything he’s been doing he is open about it.

Most honest interview for any addict to listen to. People who haven't been there or been affected by addiction can't understand how or why people get into this situation. 2 complete opposite types in upbringing, walks of life and Both with similar stories but different traumas which triggered their addictions . Luckily they've both survived and hopefully they both stay strong.

That balancing act is exhausting and traumatic. I love that he is being honest without glorifying it. It sucks. And it IS a disaster. God protect him.

This conversation was so moving. Theo opening up about wanting to retreat to his childhood to relive things he should've had was one of the most relatable things I've ever heard.
