Relatable on so many different levels . unexpected for me , great episode
David Koechner has a lot of good lines. My favourite is a throwaway line from Run Ronnie Run where he roars "woooooo, I'm the principal!" from the rear window of a hijacked schoolbus... Also, I have personally fallen out of cars. Twice.
Amazing! This is my go to line every time I see him. No one knows what I'm talking about
I still can't comprehend what about me as a child was so difficult for my mom's partners to deal with. I was physically abused by emotionally unintelligent and impatient men who had severe ego problems. I was smacked around for simply asking questions about my environment and how I was treated.
To this day, I will always hate how insecure I became because of it. I still to this day, at 37 years old, cant figure out exactly what was so difficult about me. I wasn't ever allowed to do anything. I was constantly grounded. I got decent grades. I never hurt anybody. I couldnt ever figure it out. I never felt like I belonged to my family.
It wasn't your fault. You were a child. That's on the adults who were supposed to protect you and care for you and love you like you needed. I'm so sorry you went through that.
You know, the number one predictor of child abuse is having an adult male in the home who isn't the father. Have to be really careful who you bring around your kids. It happened to me too.
you got unlucky man
Some people are just cruel and like to see others in pain.
Man this deep discussion smacked me in the face.
Same. "Whammy" right in the noggin.
I hope what smacked you is how pathetic the discussion sounds
@@kevinb8212sorry you’re in so much pain…
@@hi-filuggage13😂😂😂… now that’s wonderful
Maybe read a book, fhen (not porn mags or comics either) . Go back to school.
I felt like I was in the wrong family. I left at seventeen and never looked back. I’m 53 now and I just found out that my parents had their favorite child and I wasn’t eithers favorite.
I WAS in the wrong family. So liberating, actually.
Thank you for the ripples and tidal waves you create through this podcast ❤
Excellent conversation. Thanks fellas.
The face dave makes at 10:09, I had the same look of dread but also resolve and closure learning what I felt was true all along . In my case it was that my parents had me and really made drastic decisions because of the time they lived in. I felt I didn’t belong here for so long. Learning I wasn’t expected gave me some peace.
David’s mom had 6 kids, took care of them, ironed clothes, cleaned house, cooked and did the book keeping for the business. Wow.
And most of his complaints are so petty - 'they made me run to the post office', 'there was nothing to do in my grandmother's house',...
I cannot relate but I am amazed at such a young age he knew specifically he had to get out. I can understand a feeling of frustration or having a feeling that he did not fit in- but it is very interesting that the thoughts manifested into a mental plan to get out to a city.
Wow, David’s childhood sounds so familiar to mine. Great conversation.
Love this. So many of us lived thru this. This jumbled childhood, which results could not be repeated with the same outcome. I got the military school threat too. Brochures came in the mail.
Great conversation between two great guys.
David Koechner is so so much more self aware and smart than i expected.
Hes a really pleasant surprise.
Wonderful!
holy shit he's describing my childhood.
10:40...software discussion.
Amen.
I had Catholicism operating system installed.
Took me a while to realize it...remove (as much of it as i could)...replace...and still...its remnants are there...but i feel like more often than not, i can identify...whomp..... that's a catholic thought. That's why I feel such and such a way
Ding Ding Ding.......The software analogy hits the bullseye.
Id listen to Neal Brennan read the phone book.
Thats how much i enjoy him.
That helped. Thanks David and Neal.
This one had a good thumbnail. Well done Will!

“This David Koechner fellow seems like a real jerk “
Does he own a doghouse?
As somebody with a truly bad childhood. At 30 i just figured out i have bad adhd guess iv suppressed it but man things tie together si deeply that you cant even tell
I have to go to the PO to get mail. But I drive
These guys both sounds like siblings you don't want.
15:09 I'm autistic and still I have great sympathy for his parents....
Neal Brennan looks like an alien.
Koechner looks just like he did 20 years ago
He looks good with a beard.
Sounds like my sister. Blaming everyone else, but herself. No explanation as to how she has a different accent than me.
HA! I was an Andy Frain Usher! My brother dated Kelly Frain! WOW LaSalle! I did Cubs and Arlington Park 1983. Met Ernie Banks and he ended up being a lifelong friend. I kept my wool suit and the hat. I was placed in deep center field- Cubs- Cards. Willie McGee Cards CF...' Man take that coat off you makin me hot' Next Inning- Boy I said take that coat off!
I can't make this up. When he told the story about the Sunday family ritual and driving in the countryside, it cut to a commercial with the Joker and his why so serious line, then back to Dave smiling ear to ear. #comedywriting?
Whammy!!
David is a good lookin dude oddly though huh
Just so you know neil, Catcher In The Rye was set in a civilian boarding school, not a military school.
Colonel in the Rye was set at a military school. It was the sequel to Forrest Gump...

Koachner strikes me as a guy who will spend the rest of his life fruitlessly rebelling against his parents and religious upbringing and blaming the past for his current troubles.
And Neal strikes me as a dull and defensive man that doesn’t get why people are put off be him
0:33 literally hissed like a snake here
yeah having a shit of kids means exhausted parents. we get it, you were born and it was hard. you're 50+ with your own kids and a career, do you need your parents to give you a hug or what
Lol
How old are you?
I'm late 60s and the more I'm around my grandkids, the more my childhood reveals itself
He's just telling his story
Sounds like you need some reflection
It's just a conversation dude. Calm down.
Doesn’t change the fact is that it rewired his brain to become what is, his personality! People from these backgrounds are more driven and often become great parents themselves! I would never make my 7 year old cry like I cried when I was 7! Mother was an alcoholic and my dad was a rage-oholic! I definitely am not the favorite and considered the black sheep! I left as soon as I graduated! The only one who won’t kowtow to my parents like my brothers do! It has made me who I am; mistakes, faults, failures. It’s those that are not self aware who end up being big problems. i.e. “yeah I had a rough night and I said some things but that’s just the way I get when I drink, no big deal! I like to drink”
Koechners character in the office was hilarious… but for some reason his reaction to him finding out Michael And Jan were having an affair and his reaction To her nude pic always have me in tears of laughter.
