I actually got chills when he said “we’ve been trying to get you since you were little”. That’s something genuinely evil.

[johnnyregs]

As someone in recovery from basically all the same shit John was doing I'm super happy to see him sober and being so open about his rock bottom. His new special is so good. It's like that one hilarious old timer that has been doing the same lead for years and it's been perfected.

[devrimkureksiz]

I started crying when he said “we’ve been after you since you were a little kid” because that’s exactly how I feel

[cathyd]

Theo and John seem really authentic and interested in one another's perspective. Worth it.

[missjuut]

Going into recovery is like being reborn, starting to learn to live life without having to numb yourself with any substance. So Baby J, as a reference to John M being a young kiddo, is pretty excellent.

[outatim]

that was deep john. i got much respect for you. Never heard your material until yesterday morning. THAT SPECIAL WAS EPIC!

[gemm]

This man should be allowed to live forever.

But something tells me, within ten years’ time, people are going to be replying to this comment with, “This didn’t age well.”

Johnny, we love you. We are sorry for what you’ve gone through. Thank you for your honest and still hilarious special.


Please, please, be well.

[tdbarton]

John, you are one of the best-of-the-best comedic professionals. You are the absolute best at being you. Thank you for the hourly, daily, week-in and week-out job of living.

[janmarie]

Glad you're back! Great to see you & Theo together. You'll be okay, you are stronger than you think. You've been through alot fast John, give yourself a break. Dont put too much pressure on yourself, leave yourself some breathing room. When you do, you look around & realize how much stress we put ourselves through on the daily! I used to be like that. There is nothing wrong with catching your breath once in awhile. Love you both! Gang gang!

[edscmidt]

Nothing is more profound in early sobriety if you are lucky enough to have something like a voice tell you something. There is more to the moment of clarity then you’re brain being still fucked yo but starting to heal, you can notice stuff on a different level. I had synchronicities happening a lot and some were meaningful, whacky beautiful ness

[QuinnForTheWin]

Love ya John, your struggling in this. Hoping the new addition to the family gets you out of your head and realize you have a higher purpose now. Selflessness and reflection has its place but if you have to remain broken so be it, your priority is that little one now.

[BornAHawkEye]

Watch the whole podcast if you have time it's legendary😂😂😂

[cetaceansprogress]

This is so beautiful I love his honestly & vulnerability it's precious way to describe it sad but honest

[vapormissile]

"It implies bats" great, that's in my head now

[yobamos]

That something is death and death is getting closer the older you get and the older you get you realize how mortal you are

[robinwsc]

"there's a van" god theo is elite hahaha

[LeslieStinson]

Many men I know have some issue with Peter Pan syndrome, where they feel like youth was THE BEST to such a degree that their best days are behind them. I don't hear the same hangup from women.

[aboubacaramine]

You gotta be able to talk about darkness with a smile like that. That's how you know you're winning..

[FreckledGemini]

Wow. You two are my oxygen on many many days!!

[Aliens-Are-Our-Friends]

Every reincarnated human experiences "trauma" as a kid, to different degrees ... how people conquer / love / forgive over these is what shapes them into an adult
