Chris Distefano | The Blocks Podcast w/ Neal Brennan | EPISODE ELEVEN

[@joeyortiz7359]

The half head shave is definitely a vibe 10/10

[@quinlanplukas7936]

Never have I felt more connected to Chris... Thank you for helping me feel less lonely today.

[@krazihyped]

Same man same

[@teelorp8306]

Gaaaaay

[@DannySullivanMusic]

for sure. 100% right

[@Multimedia_Magic]

Neal, I keep saying this but I really enjoy the show! The little things like at the 11 minute mark when you pop up that graph showing mosquito deaths are so great lol.

[@skepticalhippo6376]

Just ordered some Magic Spoon. Thanks Neal!

[@BenGilbertForReal]

The bell with "95% German" got me real good

[@shundiin8]

This is so good! I love seeing Chris work on himself and then enjoy the fruits of that labor. It’s refreshing to see some neurosis pay off (:

[@Albert-the-Astro]

Chris is my favorite Yankee!

[@richtranter4263]

This one was great!

[@Luke-pk9fe]

It has nothing to do with wanting to or being able to. But there comes a day in every man's life when you truly don't care about sex and it is one of the best days of your life because you realize how much stuff you do just to get laid it's like 80 percent of your life. Clothes jobs cars exc. It's crazy freeing. That's why old men are happy they are toddlers with $

[@Chillllllbruh]

Chris D is the straightest gay man I know. 🙏

[@clevermissfox]

And Jason Ellis and Dr Drew! That was a great episode of DD After Dark titled “straight gay”, Chrissy D def fits into the straight gay category

[@omarluyando9353]

Not gonna lie, I’m using that attaboy mantra IMMEDIATELY

[@MsWing-ij9nb]

Shout out Fung Wah Chinatown bus to Boston. I took that and forth to college back in the day. 😅

[@susanpeck530]

Again so good. I'm a Christian... Anglican. So wrong what those priests did ... as people in positions of authority. But read C.S. Lewis ... such a brilliant view to be considered. For Christianity. Thanks Chris and Neal .. entertaining and interesting 😀 👍

[@BarryESchwartz]

I was not a fan of Chris but this was the best Blocks yet.

Neal is such a fuckin gangster that he changes date formats depending on who he's advertising to

[@willnutter1194]

This is proving to be one of the best podcast premises/execution of looking into these really useful topics. Thanks Neal.

[@DannySullivanMusic]

yup. _100%_ true

[@danymarcil8111]

Please invite Bo Burnham! You’re one of the few podcast host who would have a perfect synergy. Your comedic geniuses, your self awareness and perceptions about the world as it is would align so brilliantly. You’re both my monuments in comedy. Thank you for your content, I hope you’re satisfied with your podcast because I sure am. (sorry for mistakes, English is my second language, I’m also Canadian so that explains why I feel sorry, I guess…)

[@ancientfuture9690]

When New Yorkers tell stories, they always mention the location ("between 5th and 8th") non-chalantly like EVERYONE would and should know where that is 😂

[@2mis2TL86]

So true 😂😂😂

[@samanthab1923]

It’s funny you mention that. My moms family are all from NYC & they refer to peoples homes by the address number. Like instead of saying I’m going over to see Nanny & Pop pop they would say I’m stopping by 470. Weird I know

[@k.c.simonsen2]

These episodes go by so fast, I wish they were 3 hours longer. The Dave one better be a marathon.

this one is SO GOOD. i love that this podcast makes me see these people in a different way. neal remains the GOAT.

[@charlesnelthorpe9252]

(check out you made it weird with pete holmes)

[@JDWindtPlaysGuitar]

Chrissy's most important block is calling tupperwares "Tubberwares"

[@glencarnes6465]

The subtle editing of this podcast makes it even better. When Neil says “stabbing” it zooms on his clenched fist 😂

[@chucklecucker]

Brennan’s insights make him one of my favorite writers.

[@fumbling22]

The ending of this podcast episode was perfection. Atta-girl/boys…. Because we’re all doing the best we can.

[@clevermissfox]

I love chrissys new glasses. He looks very dahmer… but in a hot way.

[@InglouriousBradsterd]

Chrissy has more blocks than the great wall of china....this will be interesting

[@shrutefarms4741]

Omg. Coming from a woman. Chris is 10000% correct about insecurities of men. I’ve never ever heard another man admit this!!! Way to have insight Chris! Agree in women just as bad!

[@charlesnelthorpe9252]

then you should probably find other men to be around because what he said isn't some sort of brand new epiphany.

[@hydrangeadays]

The pop ups during this podcast add so much value. The 'insecurity in men' vs. 'mosquitoes' is just one example. So many giggles from my face.

[@sebastiandchow]

definitely. And I love the juxtaposition with the planned structural blocks vs bullshit that just pops up. Schulz's episode was a letdown because they were all a little random.

[@i_Gotcha_]

“Doesn’t know who he is…” “95% German”

[@banwavy]

20 - Insecurities in men 10 - Mosquitoes

[@bigboi_69_23]

The pop ups are like another character need them forever

[@DannySullivanMusic]

that's right. _100%_ right dude

[@brandobailon3922]

CHRIS YOUR GLASSES ARE ABSOLUTELY HIDEOUS BUT YOURE A GORGEOUS WOMAN WITHOUT A DOUBT ILY

[@lav7161]

The insecurity talk at around 10:30 sounds like something Chrissy regrets he did in his past that he now fears for his daughters. He doesn't want his daughters to meet a young him pretty much

[@clevermissfox]

That he did or saw his friends doing ie being disrespectful or rude to a woman to look cool in front of the friends. Good news /bad news: by the time his baby daughter is dating, there won’t be guys and girls anymore it’ll all be non-binary

[@be-low-mepiggies5659]

Blow's my mind that this comedy genius doesn't have a million subscribers

[@chadbarbaro]

Neal's hair is so great! half new order half new edition. crushing!

[@winstonmontag8824]

Chrissy Podcast is at it again! Guy's got great energy, easy to like.

[@idab6864]

I love you Neal but that haircut makes it look like you're healing from an incision to the skull

[@JenNutton]

Watch out Neal, Chris is running this show...this is the multiverse of blocks.

[@alanbevington4875]

Therapist: Sir, can you state the nature of your issue? Chris: 95% German That's the best one yet Neal!

Besides Bobby Lee, I can’t think of a better guest for a show like this lol

Would love to see the man who suggested the podcast on here. Jimmy Car is fucking hilarious and very interesting when talking about serious stuff.

[@bigwill-pn5xc]

Neil great special. Chissy podcasts is on all the casts I watch this week. Holy shit this one should be a good one.

[@punamination]

this podcast is now my favorite thing on Thursdays!!

[@preezypatel]

Needed something for the lack of Flagrant Thursdays

[@voice_of_a_little_lady]

100% to Neil's point - sunset increases anxiety in anxious people because nighttime makes the brain "party" even harder. It's SO fun.

[@jam9859]

Winter to Spring and summer to fall transitions too for some reason. Fall to winter is generally fine?? 😂

[@cdizzy42069]

Chris is so god damn funny. First saw him on a YMH Live show and have been a big fan ever since. Love seeing him grow and prosper in comedy!

[@casadobis]

Lord! Chris makes Taylor look like the most normal person in the world. Love them both!

[@samanthab1923]

And she was with Sam Morril

As a child of divorce he describes the exact issues I still face today. Catastophic thinking that my loved ones will vanish randomly. If my wife or kids dont pick up I assume something terrible had happend.

[@dylanbarrow3982]

Love how different this pod is. Gives me peace getting confirmation all of these people have miserable moments too

[@catejames6453]

This guys 💯 correct about insecure men. It’s why woke is here en masse

[@tacmaster7887]

notice how everytime he stutters hes thinking about traumizting times.... i feel mans ptsd...

[@5CG]

Neal nailed it. Chris is one of the most insecure people I have ever seen after watching tons of hours of him, and he's projecting.

[@charlesnelthorpe9252]

100%, this was hard to listen to because it was so obvious what was going on and he'd just talk endlessly, maybe to control the situation, idk. This guys psychology is one hell of a mess, and it didn't seem like he's getting any help.

[@gavinrush4995]

It looks like Neal salvaged the backdrop from the YMH studio dumpster. 😄

After watching Rogan give Chris some therapy, now its time to watch Neil give Chris some therapy.

[@scotthallgv]

Easy, the not wanting to be alone and the quiet thing are all about chaos. New York is a place where you literally cant be alone because you are constantly surrounded by people and noise and visual stimulus and a million other other things. That constant stimulus loop becomes addicting (and if Im not mistaken Chris has spoken about addiction issues in the past) and something you expect and something you need, and in the case of New York, theres nothing like it anywhere else so that yearning for it makes complete sense. Its like people who cant sleep without a white noise machine or music playing or whatever it is, they just need that thing there taking up space to make them feel connected to something.

[@father3dollarbill]

Love your podcast, man!!!

[@sebastiandchow]

Shout out to Chrissy D for doing his best Neal Brennan cosplay for this episode.

[@deadpool8340]

Chrissy Chaos more blocks than Emmet in the lego movie

[@KoupeDeVille716]

I’ll say as a father of 2 bc Chris sees he need to work on himself as a man and a dad he’s doing a great job! It’s a nonstop cycle of never thinking you’re enough and hoping you’re doing a good enough job! All parents struggle with this!

Shouts out to Neal for drinking that passion fruit tangerine kombucha. Love that stuff

[@broseroftw]

The masculine insecurity block is legit though! - Feminist authors and legal scholars show causal links between patriarchal/heteronormative gender relations and militarization. Concepts of security (national security, economic stability, etc.) are deployed in all aspects of our social order. At an extreme example- international relations and armed conflicts partly stem from a male dick swinging contest. Obviously there's other factors, but yeah, Chris was right... one of the reasons Hitler became what he became and deployed anti-Semitism in such a violent methodology was that he was a deeply insecure and anxious person living in a Germany that was previously emasculated on the international stage, with a ruined economy, and in need of a social bogeyman/scapegoat.
