    Whether it's his music, his spoken word, his scary stories, or interviews like this, I am always very intrigued by everything Tom says. He is a great story teller and paints a very vivid picture of what's happening, almost like you're in the room next to him when it happens. I've never even met him before and never been one to gloat over celebrities, but I genuinely feel like I love Tom like a brother and would do anything for him to make sure he's alright.

    Thank you for letting Tom speak and not talking over him. So many potentially great interviews are ruined by the interviewer testing the guest like a chance to draw attention to themselves and not the guest. Toms way of putting things about his past in this that I have people who need to get this that I'll pay it for because he makes it all relatable to an everyday person

    It’s funny now
 but I was in that same spot about 11-12 years ago. I went to the dr saw a therapist. Picked up a paintbrush and that is what got me through. Once the artist came out I was finally ok. If I’m not creating something, the anxiety creeps back in. Watching this reminds of me
 and now I understand why I’m drawn to Tom. I see some of myself in him. No I’m not some super kool artist. I’m just creating something Daily so I don’t slip back down the rabbit hole again. Art is 100% the best therapy. Doesn’t matter what kind of art you make.. helps keep you grounded and whole. Thanks for sharing the interview.

    What a fabulous interview! I am a huge Tom fan and now a dopey fan. Loved the way you just had a conversation with him, no spin, no narrative, and you just allowed him to get his whole story/thoughts out. No cuts/no edits... Tom is one of a kind and is someone very special. I think that's possibly why he struggles so much with his anxiety.. it was like the universe pushing him to be his real self and go where he was meant to go and to realize he COULD do anything. I'm so glad Tom is...well...Tom! He's right no one can replicate or replace him. The work he does is important for this country, the world, and I believe humanity in general. He's making real changes where real changes start...in the hearts and minds of an individual...bridging gaps. Thanks so much!! 1M đŸ”„đŸ”„!

    This was such a good interview. I'm a recovering addict and I'm so greatful for youtube. When I first found myself watching youtube a few years back I was introduced to Blue October's and Justin Furstenfelds music and Their stories and their experience strength and hope. Then a couple yrs later I had seen Tom and Nova's song Im Not Well (gfbf) then Tom's Music and story and his willingness to be vulnerable. So here I am almost 50, not had any alcohol since November 2016 and finally out of a toxic relationship realizing that my biggest fear of being alone is one of the best feelings ever. Anyway I'm so glad I found this podcast and Ill be going back and catching up as much as I can at your content as I live almost an hour away from any town with over 1000 people I welcome content like yours. I've already caught up on a few of your DAILY REFLECTIONS earlier. So thanks for sharing đŸŽ¶â˜źâ˜ŻïžđŸŽ” #hangovergang4life

    Amazing! That was awesome for sure, I was emotionally connected when Tom talked about "His Code" for feeling suicidal saying that something was going to happen, I got that because "My Code" for feeling that way was "I need to go home" whilst I was sitting in my actual home. I'm a huge fan of Tom before this interview but after this its gone up 100 fold. Thank you Dopey Podcast for doing this one, and Thank you Tom for being your Open and Honest self as I've come to expect I wish all good things for you. Much Love!!

I'm a punk rocker in my late 40s, so Tom's music isn't what I traditionally listen to, but his messages/lyrical content and his DIY ethics definitely is punk. This planet needs more artists like Tom.

To understand how someone came through all their demons and came out shining on the other side. Tom is a perfect example that we can all overcome our vices, our deepest fears. There is a lot of people who deal with mental illness and substance abuse, the two of you are great examples that you can get through anything if you focus on your self.

    The anxiety he's described here is literally the last 16 years of my life. I feel for you Tom. Unlike me it's great that you were able to somehow pull yourself out of it and succeed as you have. I started smoking weed when I was 13 and up until around 17 that was all I did. Then I started messing with acid and shrooms along with the weed. One day when I was about 18 a friend had gotten some generic percocets for a dental procedure he had gone through and offered me one. I liked it a little too much. After he ran out we started tracking them down through our various weed dealers who either also sold pills or knew where to get them. That became a every weekend thing for almost a year before for whatever reason the person we had been buying percs from ran out... but had this new thing called oxycontons. He described them as being like percs but stronger and although they were 20 dollars a pill (80 mg this was like 2000 or 2001) we decided to give it a go. I immediately fell in love with the feeling (I even kinda enjoyed the sporadic throwing up) and so oxies replaced percs as my weekend fun. Had I known what oxies truly were I like to think I wouldn't have tried them. So for a while it was only a Friday night and sometimes Saturday thing but eventually it became a fri-sun thing. Then, of course, it started becoming a problem. I eventually did them too many days straight and caught a habit. That lasted about 5 or 6 months until my job finally fired me for being high on the job and having no savings to burn through i had no money. Around that last month before running out of cash my cousin had been sleeping on my floor from like 12 at night until a little before the sun came up because he got kicked out for his heroine addiction (that i didn't find out about until that last week of that time) and it was the first time I couldn't get hold of any oxies so I finally got sick or "ill". My cousin came in to sleep and saw me in the throws of sickness (which i honestly thought was the flu or something) and I asked him since he was using dope and various pills like percs and Xanax if he knew where to get oxies. He then explained what oxies actually were (they were the same reason he got on heroine) and so in fear asked what I should do. Basically after some begging he gave me a small bump of his scramble (heroine thats been heavily cut with something) and I felt better. I thought that was it. Nope! Next day I was sick again so I started giving him money (money i got from pawning my belongings) to get me a pill of dope every day. I only snorted it for about a month then started shooting it. I eventually became homeless and lived on the streets for almost 2 years all the while having a heroine addiction and eventually smoking crack. I went to multiple rehabs and finally, on my own, I got "clean". So once I was finally clean all my mental health issues flooded back ten fold (I have always had a serious anxiety disorder among other issues). The last 15 or 16 years have been a severe depression filled storm of extreme anxiety. I've been to multiple counseling centers and TheRapists and have been on loads of different medications for it but so far nothing has really helped so far. They did a DNA test on me to figure out which meds work best and told me that I'm medication resistant. Something about the way I metabolize the medication. Its absolute Hell. I'm still trying though. I hope that one day I'll be able to live my life again.

    I just have to say, about 90 mins in Tom talks about being envious of artists he saw on MTV having found what they were meant to be doing and all I could think was "but now you've joined those ranks, Thomas. This is defiantly what you were put on this earth for. You've made it." And I think that constantly when listening to his music, like he is 100% doing what he was meant to do and changing lives. He's the reason I'm a year sober and as other commentors have said, I feel a great pride and protectiveness over Tom, like he's my brother. Thanks so much for this interview. While I know most of the stories already, this is the most in depth interview I've seen and its greatly appreciated

    Born and raised in Alberta i can tell you that what Tom says about bullies is the truth. I was on both sides of the fence in my youth. Tom is keeping it real and it was some tough times. My dad also worked in the oil industry as a pilot engineer. He would fly the rig workers all over the place and in the summer fight forest fires. Never was around. Thanks for the great interview!

    Absolutely loved this podcast both of you were so good at feeding off each other and keeping it very interesting and moving along so great like you guys have know each other for years. You definitely had your research done about tom and it was amazing to see such a long interview that didn't feel dry. I've been a tom macdonald hog fan for a little over a year now. I've watched and take everything in even watch multiple reviewer of his music so I can understand a bit more about some bars I might have missed. Cause like tom says it's like he writes a da vinci code in it... by far one of the most complete start to present life story of Tom. I can't thank you both enough for the 2 and half hr grind you guys put into this without looking like it was work. I was in a bad place before watching this it took my mind off of everything and now I'm more motivated to finish the work on my house to have it ready for sale and live a more peaceful life again can't thank you both enough cheers

    I am so excited to watch this. I can relate to Tom. I never listened to rap music until I saw the video Brainwashed. And the more I listened, the more intrigued I was about Tom and Nova. I love his honesty, how smart and articulate he is, and what a genuine person he is. God Bless you, Tom

    Similar things are happening to my 8 yr old with bullying. He's such an awesome kid too and i already got him into good music like classic rock, punk, metal, some hardcore. Kids can be so fucking mean and for some reason it gives me such intense pain when he tells me things...it actually makes me hate humanity, which isnt healthy i know. Idk why im sharing this, maybe hearing Tom share his bullying story made me relate in some way....i absolutely hate bullies and i know they are young and probably going thru shit themselves. Thank you Tom and Dopey for sharing this. Peace!

    His mental unraveling phase is so familiar to what I’ve been through over the last year I’m literally on the edge of my seat listening to see where it goes...
    because I’m currently at the stage where he got a few days of relief from the adavan finally after months of just watching the wheels fall off my life...
    except the only thing that didn’t make my shit worse was Xanax which I’m not excited about bc my ex was on that shit and it fkd our relationship up & left a bad taste in my mouth, but whatever I guess.
    I wish I could talk to him for just 5 minutes. But if nothing else it’s a relief and inspiration to know he’s been through this same darkness and came out on top. Maybe somehow I can do the same.

    My come to sobriety moment was a mix of coffee, weed and booze as well. I was drinking and smoking constantly for like a year or two. All day every day. Also drinking coffee whenever I wanted to. Always having minor panic attacks. Maybe five or six a day where my heart would go crazy. Getting hot flashes like crazy.
    After a while I got a pain in what I think was my heart. Kept smoking and drinking. And after about a year of the pain in my chest just broke down. Obviously was crying, just fed up with life and myself. And one night just asked God if he would help me out.
    Here’s the crazy part. When I starting trying to ask God for help. I could faintly see who I can only say is Jesus. And as I’m telling him I’ll give it all up if he would just take the pain in my chest away. It’s like he already knew what I was trying to communicate. And bro. In a split second. All of the sudden. Dead sober. No pain in my chest, at all. Not even a tinge
. I can only say it was a miracle honestly. Nothing helped the pain. Nothing helped the anxiety. CBD kept me calm through most of it I guess.
    I mean. I wasn’t willing to quit even despite all of that. And literally the moment I sincerely just asked God to help. Boom

    Been clean off everything but the occasional glass of red wine or cigar for just over a year now. You can call it some level of self deception or fantasy or whatever but. I’m not that pessimistic on the matter. Jesus saved my life. And I think he would save anyone else’s too.

Hell, after listening to my metal all day at work, for my commute home it's 100% always Tom keeping me company on those dark country back roads going home. đŸ€˜

    Okay, 1:58 , I am going to be praying for him, this is important, but it's not the first time I felt called to pray for him, not because he is someone special but because God is calling some of us to pray for him. I will pray for you is not some weak statement if the person who says it knows God is very powerful, very real, you don't only speak to him you listen and really hear what he has to say about a persons life and needs. Those who know how to pray the will of God over your life are a blessing, I am not saying I am a blessing, I am saying if you know how to intercede for others, do it. But make sure your not messing with the wrong spirits, not all spirits are the Holy Spirit. This stuff is real, but God is ONLY good. God didn't mess up this world, we did. The only good God will never ask you to compromise and he doesn't need you to, he just needs you to draw near to him and he will draw near to you. That's a promise out of James 4. And it's not about celebrities or talking about myself, my point is myself and others are praying for strangers we saw on the street and never even talked to from over a decade ago because we felt God asked us to pray for them when they are not in a place of people able to fully know or pray God's will over themself. You never know who has your back and is warring for you while your actually under literal spiritual attacks. Ephesians 6:10-22 is instructions on the battle we are all in.
    God has a good plan for us, but we have to seek it, like Tom prophetically spoke, God is calling people to listen, be still. MacDonald is brilliant and brave. I respect him fully as a human even if he never was able to sing another song or drop another beat, I would also not stop praying, same if he majorly messes up. My dad was a rapist and I forgave him, that's the stuff that makes people made but I just pray my dad repents and finds God. God loves us no matter what and no matter where we are, yet we all know there is still consequences for our actions. Jesus agreed with Tom on this, the religious culture can become a godless cult once they follow the rules, even create rules around rules, but miss the point. I am not trying to be preachy but spirituality got brought up. This is just audio scripture from John if you want it, if you humbly listen and ask God to speak through it to you, he will - czcams.com/video/iLgOTErq2rM/video.html
