  • Thank you Theo, for allowing my husband to be able to share his story. We truly appreciate everyone supporting everyday people like Toby. Our kids are so proud of their dad and thank you for allowing him to share his message!
  • @HRM.H
    Theo's "normal people" podcast episodes are always the best
  • @user-tc8rp7bo6h
    Toby helped my family through a really tough time. He drove out of his jurisdiction just to meet with all of my family in one sitting. Some in my family were in denial and hard to deal with. He sat with us for at least one hour. He literally hugged everyone before he left. He really gave my family closer. We will never forget what he did for our family.
  • @tarahk7677
    I love that Toby has a hidden humor to him😂 perfect person to be on this show because he's serious but says something hilarious but in a nonchalant way
  • @AR0dful
    Everyone talking about Theo, but this dude was a gem. Candid, honest, good sense of humor, and works to make the world a better place. People like that are the backbone of our country fr
  • @andrewmagana4866
    “It’s like a baptism at Arbies” Theo’s metaphor to rookie policemen throwing up on corpses 😂
  • @x4ant260
    I love these people who aren’t social media stars full of themselves, best stories out there
  • It’s crazy how many famous and influential people you have on ur show and this guy might be my favorite guest just a real and genuine regular person
  • @picklefart
    I can’t think of anyone better to interview these people than Theo. He asks the questions I didn’t know I needed the answers to.
  • @keli75231
    I am from Louisiana and I love how this guy matches Theo's Louisiana energy. To hear a regular person say "I miss crack" and then have a reasonable follow up is amazing.
  • @hunterconway4992
    I talked to a man just like this when my friend took his life. The man seemed so disconnected and heartless and I never respected him for that for years. This podcast helped me realize: people like this (that do it for a living) see stuff like this every day. They see death as a normality, we as people die just as much as we live. They aren’t heartless, they are just as important as the ones who resuscitate. That man gave me facts so I could come to terms with it in my own time. I think im gonna try and talk to him and thank him. He may not even know I held that in my heart but I wanna get it out. I want him to know that I appreciate him
  • @bassist789
    "Then I'll start looking for obvious signs of foul play. In this regard, she had no arms." I'm sorry but that killed me 😭
  • @fasst45072
    The celebrity interviews get the views but these everyday interviews will stand the test of time and make the biggest positive impact on humanity. Great job Theo
  • @caseyaylward8853
    The best thing about these interviews is Theo's random ass questions. " So where do you put the foot in the backseat or the trunk?" Hahaha
  • I want this man to know that not only is this my favorite episode of Theo’s podcast, but this man inspired me to start EMT school, and I hope one day I’ll be able to become a medical examiner. So thank you Tony!
  • @asdhaslf
    Theo already making him feel so cozy, truly a man of the people. Everyone deserves a spotlight, great to see him provide opportunities
  • @jacobf2327
    Theo I love the idea of a Dirty Jobs style guests of people from different career fields, really gives people more perspective on what’s going on in other people’s lives. Plus sometimes average people can be funny too.
  • @ArtGuitarLTX
    “They found a lady in the cooler” “yeah”… “we got the meat uh” .. 😂 priceless! 😂😂😂 Man i loved this episode. The coroner was a standup dude. 👍👍👍
  • @db6784
    Phenomenal interview by Theo. This is the first podcast I’ve watched start to finish. Theo, you did such a great job of asking questions which no one would’ve thought of and keeping a light mood during a morbid subject matter.
