Cheeto Santino and Neal would have never had issues if that whole situation took place face to face. The issue is always about how jokes never translate the same over text.

Wish I knew what santino said to Neal cause he's really butt hurt about it

[@talon6890]

Same, but you just know a few bitter internet trolls would use that to bully Neal who is obviously still going through some PTSDesque emotional trauma. "Emotional mapping", more like "I'm overemotional and too lazy/content/fearful/blinded by vegan ideology to push through the pain and heal my emotional wounds."

[@dexraikkonen7]

Santino is lethal, so is prolly spot on; and for sure is not good (for Brennan).

[@Dev-In-Denver123]

Wish I knew what time in the podcast this was..

[@jakeburns561]

A lot of people are curious, I’m sure, but it sounds like the issue isn’t entirely about the content of the message. Brennan seems to think that Santino joked about something that he (Santino) should have known to not joke about (or at least not joke about to the extent that he did). For example, if your friend’s mom died and he/she is sensitive about that and you’re aware of their sensitivity, you wouldn’t joke about their mom in a negative way, and you might avoid any/all jokes regarding their mom. Now, is Brennan overreacting? Maybe to some. I think the biggest problem here is that Andrew doesn’t seem to understand why Neal is upset, or he refuses to see it the way that Neal sees it. And that could also be part of why Neal doesn’t see things returning to their “sweetness.”

[@echinate_music]

Imagine being a 40 something year old man and blocking a friend for making a joke. I’ve always thought of Neal as being a reasonable, intelligent person. But if you want to hold those traits to yourself, you need to be open minded enough to understand that everybody is different. It’s almost like Brennan ONLY wants people in his life EXACTLY like himself. Even if it rubbed him the wrong way, you can obviously tell whatever was said was coming from a place of love, and was never meant to be hurtful. “We could never go back to the way we were” like holy shit get over it lmao

[@mrlepercon]

You honestly can't make those assumptions without knowing what was said tho

[@slados1]

It's almost like he's a "progressive" or something

[@swr420]

I really dont think it matters what was said. Santinos a ball buster. If its not yelled at you hes probably joking. Take a joke.

[@Dev-In-Denver123]

What time in the video are you referring to? Stamp that time?

[@phillipscalisi107]

So the beef was never resolved and still isn't, it can't be more obvious. Neal can't come off worse.

[@RebornLegacy]

How dumb are you that you think Neal came off worse here? Santino constantly kep trying to control the conversation and put words in Neal's mouth.

[@user-co7ki5bp4h]

Clicked on this episode excitingly because I love Brennan’s stand up. It was fine until the beef was brought up...what a snowflake. It’s so classic narcissistic to assume 100% fault in the person making a remark, never in the way they interpret something. Honestly don’t know any other comedians in the podcast circle who would block a fellow comedian for something that was said in silly humor. Wish we could have gotten a quote!

[@Dirtbiker463]

Chris Rock

[@Dirtbiker463]

[@mikerichter2591]

As an armchair psychologist for KZbin, regardless of what Santino said, he needs to accept and respect that Neal took issue with it. Full stop. He doesn't get to tell Neal how he feels about it. Accept, learn, move on. There is too much interrupting and talking over Neal when trying to state how it affected him. I think that is indicative of some guilt on Santino's part. Unfortunately, intention doesn't always equate to impact. No, I don't struggle with this in my personal life... Also, those who default to physical violence are neanderthals .

I get that comedians are the pros of comedy, and I hate to disagree with Neal, but just because you have "pitch control" you shouldn't have the final say of what someone's intent is when saying a joke and denying what they say because you are offended or the joke did not go over well. It is like a professional dancer going up to an amateur who just likes to dance in the club and telling them they are doing it wrong therefore they can't dance like that.

Neil tried to say he doesn’t think he’s above Andrew, but the, “who do you think you’re talking to,” response is absolutely something a person who thinks they’re better than someone would say.

[@nicholasmaniccia1005]

That's a common response to someone who insults you, it's not meant to be "do you know who I am?", it's more like "I am not your bitch watch your your words". That was the least annoying crybaby thing Neal said and it could/might actually make sense why he would say it.

[@PatrickMC]

Nicholas Maniccia agreed, he’s basically saying: I’m not just some dude in the street you can insult like that.

[@pleasantness1704]

Aw man, that ending was pretty disappointing. But if you just see it for what it is, on one hand, you have a guy who more openly honors the sensitive side of himself and his personal boundaries, and on the other hand, you have a guy who sees emotionally vulnerability as weak, in most contexts. Neil thought there was something more vindictive behind the text and Andrew thought Neil could see he was just giving him a playful jabbing. Both are understandable perspectives. People are acting like they've never taken something the wrong way. Hell, even Patrice O'Neill and Bill Burr never fully healed their friendship due to Patrice taking something he said the wrong way. It can happen to the best of us. Now, do I think Neil handed that misinterpretation the right way? Eh, not really, he definitely blew it. It was a shitty move by just blocking him without trying to talk things through first. Still love them both though. Great podcast and I'm glad they were able to mostly patch things up.

Brennan must have pull in the biz because he deserved to get lit up for cryin like at his age.
