#podcast - Komedie
I am SO glad you got Santino on this. To be in the same calibre of guests as you've had already, and I'm guessing some of the superstars to come, it's fantastic. He's such a good podcaster, a really good actor in whatever movie or show you catch him in, and of course an amazing stand up. His special was hilarious. Sounds like he's paid me to write this lol but I'm honestly just that much of a fan.
Good podcaster, boring stand up.
I agree, he’s an all-around great entertainer. Loved his special.
Stfu and reboot "the knick"
Such a good special and so excited to watch this
@@tonymarselle8812 saw him live and he murdered tho!! He may not be your cup of tea
When Andrew said his mom was his hero, it almost made me tear up. That was so sweet .
The level of Santino’s vulnerability on this one melted my heart
Santino is podcast gold. One of the best in the game right now
Santino's last sentence describing the movie of his life made me tear up... He's such a real one 🧡
related so well to andrew’s drinking block
This podcast makes me realize why Neil is such a brilliant sketch writer. His mind thinks of such hilarious situations and then adds specific details to those situations so effortlessly. There's probably a whole season's worth of skits someone could pull from this episode.
😂
Neal. My dude. I am so happy you decided to do this pod. Thank you.
Please PLEASE, keep the replay in the pod. It is such great idea and it really shows that the time and effort has been made to make this a uniquely enjoyable Neal Brennan production, just like everything else you have done.
Stay safe and I wish you the best.
Andrew actually try's thou nearly everything Neal seems to do is boring as hell and this is after me trying to listen to him multiple time there's only so much you can ride on the coat tails form a show helped create more then 10 years ago
@@rbbearthwormjim that's your opinion and I respect it but a lot of ppl enjoy Neal because he is very real and curious.
that's right. _100%_ correct dude
@@dylanking8294 I'm with you man, I love the little replays that he does in it, this was the first episode of Neal's podcast I've seen, a great introduction to it for sure and I'm about to watch more episodes, always loved Neal for his open vulnerability, honesty and his jokes too. Very refreshing! This is most serious I've ever seen Santino be on anything, and I'm all here for it, it's comforting to see people you think don't suffer from the issues they discussed, which myself and many others struggle with, and yet these people still get on that stage, in front of these podcast cameras and do their thing. I hope this podcast blows up the way it deserves, this is an extra dose of a medicine I didn't know I needed as much as I imagined. Excellent concept and work Neal!
@@JamesLeeBuzz your gonna luv the Andrew Schulz episode
Santino will get me to click anything he's in. Love to hear the guy talk. Thanks Neal Brennan
Neals coasting
The part on friendship really hit hard for me. Thank you Andrew and Neal for being so vulnerable about this subject and block that we don't necessarily talk about in society. Great podcast. Looking forward to more in the near future.
I think this particular episode of this particular podcast is what has finally convinced me to start filming and producing my own content. Enough anxiety and excuses and being scared and crippled. 😤
Thanks Andrew, thanks Neal, this was absolutely incredible. 🤗
Yay! Best of luck
It's literally your name.
You were born for this.
You already have random strangers up voting you just because you mentioned creating content and its only been 7 hours.
You got this.
Just be your self, it's the only original thing that isn't already out there.
Best of luck.
i concur. absolutely right dude
Good luck
Good luck 🎉
Another great episode. Andrew is really down to earth.
for real. totally perfect
Getting Billy Burr on will put this podcast on the map. Make it happen NEAL!!!
I will follow Santino to every pod. These two are just good guys. And that's exactly why I enjoyed this
The convo about friends really got me. Struggling with holding on to friendships has always bogged me down. I need to let go of this fantasy of having best friends
same
I think this is the podcast I always wanted to make. Being honest about these blocks is some of the most interesting things people have to say about themselves. So cool.
DO IT! There's room for everyone.
Alright that was a great job. Felt Santino was being real and open. He was being deep and thoughtful, then would go silly and return seamlessly to straight talk. That's a skill.
The part about friendship changing. I always see my relationships and my participation as being very intentional so to see other people struggle with the reality that they are subject to change are comforting.
i thought i absolutely adored Andrew before...boy after this pod, i couldnt be more #teamandrewforlife!! youre doing such a service here neal and i know youve heard it already a trillion times before but thank you for blessing us with such a brilliant, original, best version of a podcast!! in a world full of ppl just looking to capitalize over the phenomenon of "shooting the shit for money" aka what podcasting has become (lol), you have once again proven why everything you do is absolute gold! you are a true genius and truly in a world where ppl are popular for seemingly no reason, you deserve to be given all the accolades for your true greatness!!
I'm watching this again. The friendship segment got me. Well done y'all, much love.
after years of watching santino, i cant help but like him more and more. that sneaky ginger
Andrew’s story about his friend saying they weren’t friends reminded me of The Banshees of Inisherin, a movie that I bet he would love. I could even see Andrew playing Colin Farrell’s character in that movie.
Agreed! (about your sentiment in general; have not seen that movie) I think we've bastardized that word with the advent of social media, and this conversation breathed a bit of life back into the guts of it. Whitney Cummings asks EVERY guest on her podcast, "are we friends?" and I think that's self-serving and disingenuous. There are all kinds of people I like just fine but aren't friends with, per se. And like, that's okay.
I always read comments saying “they should do a podcast together” when santino is a guest. That’s because he knows how to morph to the person next to him and use their energy to determine how he presents himself! The best in the game Cheeto!!!
YES, you do see it often on any podcast he’s a guest on. To me, he’s the best podcast guest and host. He’s so good at controlling the chaotic rhythm of BF’s and any guest he has on Whiskey Ginger, even someone I don’t know, I feel like I know the guest afterward.
Bad Friends pod is a testament to this sentiment
BIG 📠📠📠📠📠
this is 1000% correct man
It’s called empathy 😊
Andrews special was great. Thank you Neal for putting this show together. It's a great listen
This is an absolute pleasure 🤌🏻
Santino, one of my favourite humans & comedians. Neal, one of the greatest conversationalist & top shelf people.
Andrew and neal have come a long way from the contentious early years success relaxes people 👏
Neal, you're really doing something special here.
(I've seen ALL of your specials and am overjoyed whenever i hear about a new one - just so you know)
It makes me REALLY happy that you and Santino are close, it says a lot about both of you.
I love that you were able to provide a side to Cheeto that we don't usually see.
Thank you for your service!
Love Andrew Santino! You two had great chemistry. Great questions and insightful answers.
I've been on an overload of watching every podcast Santino has been on in the past 2wks. Absolutely Love his new Netflix Special👍🏼👍🏼 I've been a sub to both his pod's since day one... I just can't seem to get enough of him 😊💕
I’m the same way.
The pallbearer conversation was so emotionally honest important and helpful.
I love this conversation because I tell people all the time Friendships in Adulthood are extremely valuable. Therapist here and I really stress that friendships when you are an adult are very important. Especially when you are married (because they can fall away but they help you stay grounded, sane, affirmed, and connected to yourself outside of your spouse/kids). And when you are single they can fill that void which brings you loneliness.
"It takes a village" isn't just for raising kids. It's for being a human. We need all types of relationships in our lives. I'm really happy dudes are talking about friendships and the emotional toll it takes. It's human and more dudes need to verbalize that they need friends as much as women do. Great conversation.
Just finished Andrew Santiono's 'Cheeseburger' and it was delicious! Love both of these guys!
I don’t know why, but the morbid ending was right on cue for this podcast.
Sometimes we don’t get past our blocks in an hour and a half.
I think this one deserves other episode in season two or three to see how that boulder is going… before it kills everyone!
What a great one Neal! Love UNCLE TITO! Love you Andrew (wish it was longer !)
Such a real conversation! We all need friends! Love it!
I am so excited for this!!! So pumped for this listen. Love Andrew.
The friendship stuff really made me think about things. I’ve struggled into my 30s with the fact that the guys I grew up with and spent so much time with have faded away. I feel like I have tried to make an effort to connect and reach out and hang out, but it just never lines up for whatever reason. And I sit here realizing I have very very few friends. There are guys who I see making an effort to connect with me too, but at some point why am I trying to
force a connection when I clearly don’t mean as much to them as they did to me… I feel like there are a million excuses that get in the way but if you want to get together and spend time, it will happen if there is mutual love and respect. Very interesting.
This new pod is killing it, love all the guests so far!
I absolutely love Andrew and Neal together , what a gift :)
Amazing one, very rarely get to hear Santino not doing a bit. It's a pleasure to hear you both ~
This was an incredible episode. Great job from Neal and Andrew
Neil, your stuff is always amazing. Thank you so much for the work you do on all of the amazing content. Andrew, I loved seeing this vulnerable side to you, tearing down the socially built testosterone mortared wall and having an open and honest conversation about friendship. I don't think I've ever seen such an open conversation about friendship between two adults. As someone who relies on these great podcasts to get through my work day, I can't not wait to listen to many more episodes of the Blocks Podcast . Thanks again, much love from wisco.
OH MY GOSHHHHH I'm so excited for this combo!!
What a powerful thing you’ve created. I scanned through a few of the comments/replies, and I saw so much positivity and support. That is so incredibly rare, in this day and age, of social media toxicity. Thank you for being who you are, and choosing to do this, with the platform you’ve worked so hard, to have.
Another banger. I love this podcast so much.
The last 20-25 min filled me with deep sadness because of the vulnerabilities shared. Santino is a real human being.
No shit he’s a real human? Wtf?
@@user-cc9vw4mo6g I’m saying he shared true emotion. Most people when the camera is on become somewhat of a fictional version of themselves. Santino didn’t. I hope that makes sense now.
Neal! Overjoyed to hear these new pod eps you've been dropping :)
Appreciate you so!
I watch/listen to many podcasts, and this has now become one I look forward to every week (or wenever they come)….. I have more blocks then most my friends combined, and I throughly enjoy listening to successful comedians have the same shit.
Thank you Neal and Andrew. The friendship discussion really hit home for me. I can relate to it so much. Spent my whole life putting effort into friendships without reciprocal effort. I appreciate your openness.
This was so good. Loved seeing this side of Santino.
I watch/ listen to podcasts all day while working. You are now in my top 5 . Please continue to do what you do. Watched Blocks and loved the concept. BTW you are in good company with the podcast I watch.
Just watched 🍔 last night & holy 💩 that closing bit... to quote Uncle Joey: "TREMENDOUS."
Santino and Neal need to just do a podcast together that's half serious half funny
Great pod. Have listened to it a few times. I wish Santino could feel how much I enjoy him.
Thanks for this. Love you guys, keep it up!
Thanks for this podcast Neal. Its great!!!
Adult criteria for friendship:
1) You like each other
2) You trade contact information
3) You interact outside of the initial context under which you met
A person who only meets 1 and 2 can be a contextual friend, but not a general all around friend. For example, you know someone at the gym, you two get along, have traded phone numbers and even call/text regularly BUT you only ever see each other at the gym; that's your gym friend, not your friend friend. You start doing other things besides the gym with your "gym" friend, now you are "friend" friends
Very insightful! Great conversation.
This is slowly becoming my favorite podcast.
Thanks Neal! Love the podcast!!!
17:00 this entire conversation is so relateable and I love you both for being such considerate and intelligent people! Seriously nice to hear that celebs are still super conscientious of everyone else and were raised right 👍
I love the seamlessly transitions into bits. Y’all funny
This was so damn authentic and introspective. Thanks for having the guts to put yourselves out there, especially your thoughts on friendship.
Happy to have found this.
Love the tenderness in this; completely transformed my perception of Santino. Good job dudes; good and deep humans
People DO love it Neal.
When Neal said, "I don't want to learn the lesson." Ughhhh yeah, I feel that. I do feel that right now...and I may not feel like that at a certain point in a similar or different context and situation. It's a dialectical thought, feeling.
I'm all on in Blocks.
Love you guys.
Brilliant. What a journey. I love you both.
Santino brought me to this podcast, as always he was a great guest, really enjoyed this episode. I’ll be back.
Also, loved Cheeseburger.
It's a real great project😎🤙
This was a great episode! Love seeing this side of Santino. Big fan.
Love me some cheeto. I relate so hard to the social courtesy thing, even in my own house I'm always aware of being "in the way" whenever someone needs to walk by and it is so aggravating when others seem oblivious when I'm trying to move past. It's worse when family does it to me, makes me feel like I don't even exist to them but in public it's irritating as well. Neal saying that we humans are an ecosystem is spot on, be aware of your surroundings, say excuse me and consider the personal space of others around you. Great episode guys thanks for this🙏
*I gotta add that I watched Andrew's new special all the way through and it was genuinely excellent, hilarious and insightful. He should be proud fr
Best finish ever!!
new the podcast,loved it! keep up the good guests nealy
There's something so lovely & genuine about listening to men discussing the importance of good, real friendship, & the importance of having it in their lives. I think it's a really backward, old-school notion that men have to be lone wolves, as they get older... life is really hard, but having real, true friends makes it so much better.
I'm an only child and I'm constantly stressed out about being in the way for others. I related so much to Santino talking about his mom constantly yanking him and pushing him to get out of the way of others.
Same! Sometimes it's crippling
This ep is really helpful. I feel the exact same way about "friends".
I love this podcast!!!! Please continue
7 years ago, I was at a gym with an upstairs and downstairs. I was right behind a couple heading towards the stairs to begin the decline and they both STOPPED at the top of the stairs!!! I still think about that at least once a week.
Neal your the Man.
Awesome pod
This is the realest I've seen Santino. Such a good episode
I feel like he’s been that way on most of the podcast he’s done for this special - great guest.
Love love love Santino
This is so good, Neal. I hope you know that.
Digging some blocks
Cheetoh! Good shit, we stan Santino over here
I love the post production as much as the pod itself.
Please keep these comin! 🎉
“It’s Midwest it’s catholic” 😂 I live in Wisconsin this is very accurate
The realization of who's a friend and what friendship is so difficult and different as I've grown up. In grade school I thought i had a couple friends, but when I went to high school none of them really ever talked to me. So you realize they never were your friends and I only had 2-3 people in life as actual friends.
Also how friendship changes and what it means to you as an older person versus a young person. Can be very dramatic
Neil has needed a podcast for so long! Finally someone with some intelligent sense in the game.
Neil & Andrew, ya done good kids. Not being able to celebrate or even just feel good about things🟥 I smiled & exhaled about something good back in 98 AND STILL feel weird about doing so! It's nice to see, we're all maniacs, just ambling thru life, trying to feel ok. Thanks guys
Loved it!
Thank you.
Fantastic discussion!!!!
Santino provides extremely insightful thoughts🙌
Underrated
Neal Your Winning an award for this podcast in the near future.... 10000%
thanks so much for the timestamps and chapters I eat this podcast in delicious bites!
For some reason I have more respect for both of you after watching this
4:58 Anxiety block, exactly what i feel like. Always felt like an imposer since it was never a "real" anxiety attack; instead: being rude, being stuck, pacing, talking how annoyed I am, realising once you've crashed. Same goes for space & time - who would have thought I'm like Andrew Santino
