I'm so glad Theo called it a genocide instead of fearing backlash.

[blueberry]

Theo actually using his platform and not beeing afraid of speaking about Gaza openly is the reason why I will always support him.

[_DavidLeBlanc]

I don't think I've been more impressed with any comedians' range of podcast guests than yours, Theo!

[staticcouch]

Palestinian here and I am truly touched that Theo and Gabor Mate are having a genuine conversation between two moral and humane people. May God bless you. ❤

[cotw]

As a therapist, can I just say that by interviewing professionals like Gabor Maté, Theo is reaching more people and helping people who wouldn’t typically reach out for help understand the impact of trauma more than any therapist, BetterHelp commercial (oh we’ve all seen our fair share of them) or other podcasts and platforms by a million-fold. Bravo Theo and thank you so much for your voice, vulnerability, humor, and genuine want to understand trauma. Not only for your own healing, but for your viewers as well. You are a lovely and cherished human being.

[AChunkyDog]

It's wild how sophisticated Theo can be one minute and a total donut the next.
Absolutely love this guy.

[MrEmreWawa]

to think of a child, ANY child, having the thought of "something is so wrong with me, I *deserve to be killed*" is utterly heartbreaking. all children are innocent souls, ALL children.

I drive a truck. It’s my longest working day of the week and I stay away from home tonight. I started listening to this at the start of my shift and all I want to do now is go home and spend time with my kids. I think we do quite well with our kids at our home - but I now want to do even better. Thanks for the podcast man. I’ve took so much from it

[Rainbowdiddley]

I love the way Gabor doesn’t laugh at Theo’s jokes about trauma, he seems to hear the sad truth in them

[jauniecruz]

I love that Theo is never too scared or embarrassed to admit anything he's been thru.

[thesisterversepod]

Theo is the ultimate man. This is true masculinity. Not scared to laugh at himself and not acared to cry for millions to see. Not scared to change his mind and not scared to read a book and learn. He is truly one of the best of humankind.

[Rushil]

His book on ADHD had a huge impact on my and my family. I had failed out of college and am now close to graduating law school after being able to get a handle on what was happening in my head. That he’s such a compassionate human with good politics was just a bonus.

[woolymaple]

Theo is WILDLY intelligent. This conversation is evidence of that. Two men openly discussing these topics is SO important. Thank you Theo

[astraenomine]

I simply stunned that you have Gabor Maté on, he is one of the best minds on healing from trauma. Extremely grateful you got the chance to introduce the way he thinks to your audience!

[jimbo]

I dont usually comment on videos.

Theo is doing an amazing thing - being vulnerable as a male on a worldwide platform. So many of us men struggle with vulnerability due to learnt behaviours, and it is constantly reinforced by pop culture, social media and society in general.

To see two men openly talking about this stuff, in an intelligent and serious way, is infinitely important.

Thank you Theo. Keep it up!

[fhxs]

I followed a journalist in Gaza that passed away earlier this year & the video of his car being bombed still haunts me. I know I couldn’t mentally handle that as an adult. I feel so heartbroken kids just see that type of bloodshed every day.

[stephenholmgren]

When Theo started this podcast years ago, I never thought it would become a significant part of my recovery from addiction. Probably saved my life

[nourdubai]

i saw a lot of gabor inteviews but this is my favorite because of how genuine the interviewer is
