Gary Owen | Blocks Podcast w/ Neal Brennan

[@BIGHOMIEBUBBA]

My 2 favorite black comedians

😂😂😂

[@williamhornabrook8081]

Winning comment. Well done lol.

[@L4-295]

Gary is clear. Neal is light skinned

[@jeanee1228]

As a black woman, I find this mess funny af 😭💀

[@ratta_tat]

They all look the same

[@brywasiuk]

I'm looking for something to watch on this dark, cold morning, and out of nowhere Neal drops a fresh pile of Blocks in my lap. Hell yeah. Merry Christmas everyone!

[@OttawaAndy]

One of the most interesting, funny and brutally honest interviews I've ever listened to.

[@user-rc5rm8hv3c]

This might’ve been my favorite episode yet. I’ve always adored Gary-he is a kindred soul and my spirit animal.

[@HH-gv8mx]

Did Gary cheat on Kendra. Is that why it was such a bitter divorce and his kids have turned on him?

[@dgroppel]

@@HH-gv8mx Yeah, I think at first they were just angry because they saw it as their dad leaving them as well as their mom. They couldn't really separate the two. Then I think it came out that he had cheated, but in Gary's mind he hadn't because it was after he had already filed. I think that they see their mom hurt and they hurt and it's easy to blame their dad at the point.

[@eriksoderberg4828]

Good job Neal. Gary is an awesome comedian.

[@michaelpacinus242]

I read this in blaccent

[@HH-gv8mx]

Did Gary cheat on Kendra? Is that why the kids are pissing him? Because on Gary‘s latest podcast his kids are not talking to him at all.

[@dreddmann9292]

"I don't care about city pride". _Neal Brennan No one knows how to take the joy out of your pride than a disgruntled Irish man.

😂😂😂

[@brideyfrancis5891]

Also Neal shitting on Gary getting a suite..."I wanted to just say I don't love a suite" 🤣

[@jerrywayne4100]

Gary is so funny, and so raw, but this interview REALLY uncovers some real shit. So good. Big ups to Neal Brennan!

[@leekyoverhere]

Love these episodes man. These are great stories and Neal... man how you hold space for people to process their own humanity is incredible to witness. Thank you and Happy Holidays

[@thatkidfromtx]

This is the kind of feel good content we needed this Christmas.

[@sheefree]

I came into this with preconceived ideas about Gary. Glad i was wrong! Thanks again Neal! 🙏🏼💐🌷

[@TargetedIndividualOratioFount]

It's funny to me that the comedians that may not say they're conservative, but have a conservative personality style; if we say Conservative=Trauma minus therapy, they all seem to just steamroll once they open up. You're more than changing lives, Neal, you're changing the fabric of comedy!

[@ftlsniper7473]

this was really entertaining! only wish the conversation went longer

[@fallinstr2098]

“Ladies & Gentlemen… WE GOT EM” 😫😩🤣🤣🤣

[@kamshafty]

This may be the saddest ep The dysfunction of family is EXHAUSTING These people aren't even worth being related to Wow!

[@cwin721]

Im glad Neal asked if Gary has empathized with his father. Although the situation is different, i think he should empathize considering that he has said his kids are not talking to him. Gary's dad was wrong and I understand him ending the relationship tho.

[@drodge72]

The difference is that everytime Gary's dad reached out gary gave him another chance. Gary's kids have not given him that kind of grace

[@Monica-mm2vv]

@@drodge72makes you wonder if the lies his dad told the ex got to the children.

[@robdmusic915]

Damn, bring it in Gary 🫂

[@christinakoch5697]

Fantastic - I always admire his background and brutal honesty.

[@johancorrales6537]

In a bad spot right now with my parents and girl, thanks I needed this.

[@shay0912]

2 diff energies & enjoyed the contrast. I have to work... he's retired 😂 Easy as Sunday morning 😏 Thanks for the pod & want another after Greece 💚

[@helpmeImpoor5314]

I feel terrible for the childhood he had to endure and I sympathize with how much that damages a person but he ended up hurting his own kids because he never worked on himself and got real about how messed up his parents were. Saying to your own kid that is expressing to you how much he's hurting "I'm sorry you feel that way" is dismissive as sh*t. Some people just shouldn't have kids. Having gone through so much heartache himself, you'd think he'd be more compassionate towards his children

[@SisKrys]

This was a fascinating interview, and insight. If I wasn't married, Gary could get it!😂

[@chellanekrukar4869]

What a nice interview. I love everything Gary Owen. He's extremely easy on the eyes and I love his humor. And Neal, ur so funny...and I love you because of Dave Chappelle. Love hugs and kisses from South Texas 🥰😇🤣

[@JJOK1818-okthen]

Merry Christmas 🎄 Neal & guests of 2023!

[@jameson6930]

Gary Keepin it moving.

[@RichWeigel]

I don't know why but when Neal asked Gary if they hang glided to Burger King I lost it. 🤣🤣🤣

[@rosalindaresendez2252]

IMO Gary energy is lighter bc it HAS to be. Sone of us will relive trauma over and over unless it’s out of mind and we can share happiness with others.

[@lalah9481]

Great blocks as always. Gary does have a ‘light spirit’… but maybe some hurt built up that needs professional assistance to clear out? Hope the holidays are merry and bright💖✨🎄

[@Ben-b9h1f]

Great conversation, Gary is the bro

[@dalebruno5201]

At first I wasn’t sure if I was going to like Neal’s energy he’s very blah but he’s a sarcastic little bastard which is funny af

[@motorboater1020]

I fkn love how Neal just calls out Gary EVERY time..every corner every inch of the interview...LOL loved it

[@tinaisrad]

I'd like to see Anthony Jeselnik on Blocks

[@Bettiepage1955]

Great episode and insight! 🎉

[@HH-gv8mx]

This Interview must’ve happened Several months ago. Because on Gary’s podcast that just dropped a day ago. He said he has zero contact with his kids. And he sounds pretty hurt and sad about it. I think he needs to use his resources and reach out to.iyanla Vanzant. I think she is the key to bridging the gap btwn Gary and his children. Before it gets any worse.

[@alanbrown5907]

Gary reveals all this personal stuff about him and his real dad, and Neal just mocks him the whole time looking like a nerdy ass muppet.

[@JoysTravelAdventuresAgency]

Gary, I've followed your career since you did that black church bit. Love your humor. I believe many people deal with trauma through humor. ❤❤

[@QueenBee-yh5xi]

Gary seems like a genuinely good person

[@davidbutler8096]

Anybody old enough to remember Gary Owens?

[@dustina.6732]

Comic view days

[@iAmChristopherMunoz]

Fantastic podcast! Love Gary Owen.

[@fomes]

Why? Lol

[@iAmChristopherMunoz]

Why not? haha@@fomes

[@kamshafty]

Pressing play now! ❤️

[@MegaJellyjoe]

Recurring theme in Gary's life; everybody that ever loved him wants to have nothing to do with him. What a sad existence...

[@theredvideocassette]

Rich people still commit suicide.

[@DemocracyFirst2025]

Currently dogsitting. Two mins in and just want to say I appreciate the doorbell sound every time there’s a “block” mentioning, which has occurred approximately 14 x so far. These dogs barely notice every single 🔔 once they’ve finished their barking episode from the previous “block”.

[@kkeithf]

Finally someone that understands my pain. Peace to you my brother.

[@Hiphopcracy23]

I often wish I had a dad growing up but after listening to this I'm not sure

[@slipphilton6141]

Representing the 513! Who dey!!!

[@gracexpeace]

Just being honest. I did not enjoy Neals comments in this interview. Can definitely tell he wasn't paying attention, asked multiple questions that Gary had already answered. Gary told him multiple times about how his Step Dad felt about him, and Neal kept asking that damn question. I guess he was trying to help people that may only listen to clips, but forget about them!! Just focus on having a great convo! Neal kept cutting Gary off and prompting him to repeat himself, while Gary is a great story teller and had explained it great already. Neal is super cool and funny, just didn't think he focused enough for this interview.

[@thankmelater215]

The combo I never knew I needed ❤

[@nobodyexceptme7794]

Damn is this the champs podcast? 😆

[@daveruble5150]

God saved Gary Owen by creating him with the intellect and wit to survive his tragic Father. All my best, Sir.

[@guybehindtheguy.]

Was not familiar with Gary but this was a great episode.

[@Amanda-ud3ic]

I hope you go down a rabbit hole of Gary’s comedy bc he’s hilarious!!

[@myleskennedy7733]

He’s black people famous

[@Spartakiss]

Check out Gary "get some" podcast

[@bRikNmortar]

The paragliding bit was fvkn hilarious

[@terrib5262]

This was a great conversation. ❤

[@timothysampson9496]

He’ll make comments like, “I’d love to walk in your shoes for a day.” Yeah, dude, you can. Let’s go to that hill where you’d go hangliding when I was a kid. You walk. I’ll glide.

[@Jgarcia2320]

The I'm Vanilla Baby episode.

[@aer_ea]

Just empathize with Gary for a minute. He had a fked up childhood, he was like isolated, and he is never wanted or maybe not even loved by both sides of his parents. Hated by both of his step familys. You heard his stories and it's really fked up like he didn't experience what a real "family" is like people that always got your back, people who always support you and love you through thick and thin cause your blood related and that's what a family do. I am really surprised how he came up and grow up to became like this, he has a successful career, he is down to earth, he has good character, he is a "good man" and definitely a funny person. We never know what really happened in Gary's marriage or his life in general but I'll just say this my opinion. He is a very patient and tolerable man, he thinks what's better for the people around him and we know that he sacrificed so much of his life and happiness for the people around him just cause he is thinking and hopes that things and people around him will be better. We never know maybe his ex wife is toxic or maybe she is the "don't care, don't give attention and don't show love" kind of woman. I think Gary would never say anything bad about people especially people who are close to him. I understand that for once in his life he wants what's best for him and wants to find his own happiness and fulfillments. If I have a life like Gary's maybe I'll not live past my 20s and just end my life or maybe I'll just snap 1 day because of the accumulation of disappointments, depression, anger and rage in my life will just burst out and maybe after that I'll just live the rest of my life in jail or prison. On that note, I now appreciate and admire Gary Owen. I hope you sir will get over this trials, reach common ground with your family and people you loved and attain your true happiness. Stay true to yourself and goodluck in everything. I wish you all the best.

[@DaRomanticPanther]

Gary is a prime candidate for Are you garbage

[@michaelpacinus242]

Is it because he pretends to be black?

[@okay.bruv.]

YES

[@ericspink6849]

Absolutely 👍

[@melissasalsbury4705]

This is my favorite of your podcast.

[@tysonroberts9887]

Hilarious, been waiting for this one...

[@ralphlopez3077]

This needs to be 4 hours long...

[@snufflesdarkness]

If they ever remade Cast Away or make a sequel with similar premise, this should be about Gary Owen. Being the best person you can be in face of their own adversity.

[@samtavakoli6682]

I'm with Neal I absolutely would rather a nice lower bowl seat over a suite anyday. In fact I'd take any lower bowl seat. I'm talking Basketball and Hockey because those are the only things I've been in a suite for. Especially if the suite is owned by a big company or a liquor company. When everything is free people get so drunk and I find you don't actually watch the game as much.

[@jasonlabat99]

Neal - What was the premise of your step dad punching your dad? Gary-"My step dad said my dad looked at him funny" Neal - fair enough

[@uschilevermann5712]

wow gary dropped alotta trauma bombs. ☹️♥️🕯️

[@marctaylor1142]

I didn't realise Neal was in Capone! Such a cool surprise

[@chellanekrukar4869]

"Easy like Sunday morning" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰😇

[@DADAcreative]

gary is definitely bitter, and understandably. hes just not leaning into that anger. saw you in colorado recently it was great

[@BrianMillion]

Great interview.

[@crickettweeks4417]

This was good

[@LimpingforJesus]

Great episode. Humor is what helped me get through my divorce.

[@DNI_27]

Thanks for the unsuspecting crash course in dysfunctional 😮 " not a distraction from the norm, here" kinda vibe

[@chrishubbell3313]

I’m from Reno, if you were here? I’d know it & kept it cool. Please, come to Reno.🙏🏾✊🏾

[@hellaSwankkyToo]

“sorry you feel that way,” is the worst thing you can say when someone is giving you a scroll full of shit they think you did wrong. geezus, Gary. 🤦🏾‍♀️ c’mon, man. i can only image how tough this is but god don’t say that. he’s looking for accountability + to be heard + seen. i know cause i’m the daughter in my own version of this strained relationship situation. “i’m sorry you feel that way,” is so dismissive. it feels just like, “Oh. that sucks; sounds like a you problem. are you done?” not seen, not heard, no accountability. + based on your own words, your kid still keeps trying.

[@pepelepeau]

This is great!

[@christianscacchetti9178]

[@GenXJames]

Is Neal channeling Burt for this episode ,it would be great to let Gary talk for more than a second and screw up his stories.

[@evaneightnine5598]

Best episode

[@Claude_from_cincinnati]

Another Cincinnatian here. Gary's always been one of my favorites. First time I ever heard him talking about a big guy but not knowing it when he was young, I knew that dude was right up my alley. Neil has the best podcast. Great idea, executed perfectly. I don't even realize how long I sit here being distracted while cooking food falls by the wayside. haha

[@CostonFrijoles]

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@APisceanSlant]

Not trying to be "that dude" because I presume Neal isn't the type to do this type of pod with seatwarmers, but there seemed to be a passive aggressive vibe from Neal that--if it was a bit--never seemed apparent. In any case, I love Neal and this pod and developed a new appreciation for Gary

[@TrollHunterxXx]

He does an episode of TigerBelly that just rules … never heard of him until that… was a fan from then on … guys hilarious

[@bmannyx]

i feel ya about the suites. the sound sucks, we need to have a special mix for them

[@Javmon9]

Wasn't he also on the Chappelle sketch how well do you know black people or something like that

[@Shamgod777]

Nah, that was not gary

[@keshaanderson6155]

I think he’s referring to Neil. He’s Chappelle’s guy

[@lovingtheboar]

Neil is so savage. Gary loosks like he boutta cry

This was a great bit mans said you mad about something only you know 😂
