Summary

Theo Von is funny, smart, and deeply kind (and not necessarily in that order). He’s a guy on the fame train, wondering where to get off. I am really enjoying the process of getting to know him better, as you’ll hear. Theo's podcast is called "This Past Weekend." I was his guest on episode 100, here.

Music: “Hot Air Balloons,” by Tennessee Bum.

0:42.1

with some giant ass pools, lots of slides, the same fucking bullshit you get all around the world.

then going into the rain forest to be drinking ayahuasca on a 12-day retreat. So so much gratitude for you Chris,

for all the sick and all the poo poo from about to get out of me. I love your podcast and hadhi kishnah.

the Forest Service in the beautiful Chewgash National Forest here in Alaska. I love the podcast

and I love the shame exorcisms. Hey Chris, this is Lindsay, a wayward American living in the Netherlands,

2:18.2

but it's a place where people can feel free to speak without judgment. And I had asked her what the

2:24.8

most common revelation was and she said it all comes down to one thing. People need to follow their

2:33.5

hearts and it moved me to tears because I felt that somehow I'd found my tribe and I wasn't alone
