Adam Devine rules. The Righteous Gemstones is one of the best comedy series out right now.

One of the best blocks episodes yet. Every time Neal has on guests whose energy seems diametrically opposite to his, I’m always surprised to see that these result in some of the best conversations.

[@nelson-haha89]

The chicken rope is a legendary block.

[@bigstickswangin11]

I broke my hip when I was 25. 6 years later and it still feels like I just broke it. Mad respect for pushing through the pain man!

[@conduitstreams]

Neal's podcast is the only podcast where i watch the ad segments 😄

[@tinaisrad]

I'd like to see Anthony Jeselnik on Blocks.

[@pokemon_420]

I love this podcast because you just want to help people become better versions of themselves. Im thankful for your display of genuine kindness.

[@jcole139]

The exit song is such perfection. I love how the talk about the movie of the guests life leads into that song, it just fits sooooooo well. Credit to Neal for using it. 👏

[@viktows]

You have the song ID?

[@BWatsy]

it would be interesting to see ders, blake and kyle on blocks too, poposao

[@NastyDHL]

Maybe the most excited for a BLOCKS episode I’ve been. It’s a Tommy Pickles move bringing him on the show.

[@jKRONKitup]

Total Tommy

[@fangofsilver5537]

I'm just here for the algorithm as usual cuz this show deserves the love✌🏽

[@Elmerphant]

Adam: You're amazing. Love all your movies and shows PLEASE: Go to therapy to unpack your aging fears and coping mechanisms (bit unhealthy-eating/drinking). You have to face your declining lower half and what that means/looks like for your future. If you don't and something unfortunate happens (i.e. you become wheelchair bound) it could be a huge hit to your mental health. Therapy is equally as important when you think everything is fine and you're well adjusted as when shit hits the fan. It will give you tools to manage life when shit goes wrong. Because it does go wrong. You'll be able to utilize those tools and cope better than you would have without having gone. (Making healing from traumatic/stressful stuff smoother). Many times without those tools we heal much slower sometimes causing us more harm/pain.

[@tolasiwisa4322]

Such a great episode. Adam comes across as so wholesome 😊

[@PragmaNDefatigably]

Officially established shift in the introduction has commenced. 📣

[@moralhazard1]

Neal, You and Joe List need to do an episode together! He just re-started his solo pod and you guys are pretty similar I feel! Would be a great ep!

[@TheirIAre]

[@josephballerini3730]

Mulaney...

[@easyglistening]

Yes!!!! And Josh Johnson. They all have that deadpan delivery I love!

[@JdEnigma07]

That’d be a great episode, for either of the podcasts

I love this guy! He plays such a funny and ridiculous character in 'Workaholics'😂

[@shrewdshrew35]

His appreciation for his parents, teared me up a bit, not everyone has that type of relationship.

[@davel7159]

ESPECIALLY in Hollywood!

[@NokSuKow31]

“ and he’d be just, under the grates: ( tongue flicker )” Neal: “ok….” 😂😂😂😂😂

[@nicholasgroetsch7746]

the weird thing about this podcast is it seems so therapeutic for the people on it. i think damn, i'd love to be on this, but no one wants to listen to a non-performer dudes thoughts. and then i think, oh. i should be in therapy. and really in the end, it's a great thing that this podcast made me think that.

[@Vub.]

There should be a bell that goes off each time Neal brings up Half Baked or Dave.

[@seanmac4854]

Adam repeating stories on every pod like bobby lee but still funny

[@aaronalexander826]

I pray for workaholics movie

[@angie7164]

"Did you hear?" /s I'll post insane you haven't -Sadly, Paramount owns it and pulled it because it doesn't fit their vision today.

[@benvidales2586]

It was very relatable listening to adam talk about how he felt when he found out about his dad

[@hamiljohn]

Neal and Adam would be a great buddy movie

[@shrewdshrew35]

Prayers up for your surgery. I like the mediocre inspirations point. Hey railroad benefits are solid! Adam Sandler, please if you can, get him on your show. We know he doesn't need to, I just want to hear his story and wisdom. He mastered the game of life being the "underestimated, aw shucks, I'm not that smart, but I'm really am" game. He mastered that sh-t!

[@victorgreen1176]

You guys are good together, the Callback Kings

[@fionadevon8067]

Nothing like having an actual actor on the pod.!

[@lorenbryand]

When Litty Neal googled “Why do they slip?” I spit out my coffee😂

[@JonathanHassingerChannel]

Adam is always funny in movies/TV. Will now check out his stand up! Thanks again, Neal!

[@angie7164]

His most recent special is on Netflix. And Adam's house party (his stand up show) is streaming. I think HBO or maybe Hulu, but it's fun to see comics today way back then.

[@adam_marc_6655]

Bout time. Was waiting for Adam to get a new wiki photo !

[@wegenerwegener]

great episode! AD is such a cool funny guy! I love Blocks!

[@gaudric98]

Neal Brennan is the most underrated comedian ever!

[@AlexRoberts1981]

HAHAHA Pulling back the block was hilarious and unexpected.

[@tanas9022]

Another great one! ❤ Keep it up Litty Neal

The 'Hit By Cement Truck' block killed me

[@voicesofdetroit]

I loved the Out-Laws, have recommended it to several people and there aren’t many movies that move me to recommend. Adam is one of my favorite comedic actors and enjoy all the movies he’s in.

[@cl20999]

Weirdly good episode lol. I actually love Adam, he's on the funniest podcast on earth right now, but I didn't expect this to be heartwarming, insightful, and irreverent all in one episode. ✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽

[@jaredleemease]

Thank you

I like Rope a Dope, the Adam Devine story

[@mikelinderman8514]

July 2nd-5th? In the Midwest it's a one-two week radius of July 4th. Daytime, middle of the night, whenever. They know everyone hates them, but goddamnit, they just have so much patriotism!

They changed the laws so that phone companies legally can't make you give up your old number. You can keep it! Also, I've had the same cell number since '98, my sister and I shared it. And I still get "Merry Christmas [sister's name]!" texts.

[@adamstickelbault]

Possibly the best block of this Podcast's history: BLOCK: "SHIT OUT A ROPE" *Adam then illustrates the size of said rope with his hands Neal: "You have chicken rope."

[@adamstickelbault]

I debated with myself about whether or not this was important enough to ask and despite coming to the conclusion that It would not make any difference whether or not this is an error but it is bothering me so someone please help me here: At 40:14 shouldn't the BLOCK read "SHITS OUT A ROPE", to be grammatically correct? On the other hand, considering this show's host has had some experience being a PROFESSIONAL WRITER, if it needed to be correction they would have caught it before publishing the video. FML, Does anyone have the discount code for Better Help, discount code: Neal or Blocks, maybe ? I am starting to think I should seriously consider seeking professional help if this is affecting my mental health to the extent of having a conversation with myself out loud, on my own comment.

This is a great series but that movie of your life question never seems to elicit much.

But it will. There will be a perfect answer that justifies the whole premise. I just wish Tom Segura has said Bruce Willis to play him.

He could play Tom Cruise's younger brother. Neal's comment on the strike, hilarious! Neal with the Polish bit "killed? incinerate?, put on trains and gassed?!" smh lol. I remember the Pollock jokes were similar to the dumb blonde jokes from what I remember, like "how many Pollocks does it take to screw in a light bulb?", sort of sh-t.

This was great, but what's the actual premise of the podcast? Maybe Neal could explain it first? Adam was great.

HELP!! I watched the episode yesterday and Neal was talking about a documentary that “made him” vegan. But i forgot the name of the documentary and I can’t find the minute in which they talk about it anymore. CAN SOMEONE TELL ME THE NAME OF THE DOCUMENTARY 🙏

I listened to this in podcast form first while doing errands and it is only now that I'm watching the video that I realized his feces weren't rope shaped. He actually shit a rope.

Good to watch because of NB & AD's history and energy, but wish AD had delved into some real stuff (within reason), like - challenges of being in a comedy collective/group, thinks he's had to overcome as a newly married guy.

[@01ryan10]

Maybe that's either not a block for him or he didn't feel comfortable with that particular subject

[@01ryan10]

But I do agree, I was looking forward to legit blocks like previous guests
