Kathy Griffin | Blocks Podcast w/ Neal Brennan

[@haley2926]

“I carried Pulp Fiction” Haha I love Kathy. She is an icon

[@thebra]

You mean idiot.

[@DudePositive]

Never stopped loving her. Glad Neal had her on.

[@ginilinenkemper9261]

Like all great comic there is so much courage in voicing opinions. I never could really like Anderson Cooper again after incident. It’s like those people who see you trip and fall and instead of lending a hand just preach on how you should have watched your step. What a douche.

[@MISNM0]

Absolutely! Every fucking body with even half a sense of humor got the joke. That it went as far as it did is terrible.

[@HH-gv8mx]

@@ginilinenkemper9261 I will never forget when the piñata Trump head picture came out, everyone was talking about it and Wendy Williams claimed on her show that Kathy called her..reaching out to Wendy for support or advice and Wendy also turned her back on Kathy, saying she wouldn’t answer the phone. What a horrible, isolating feeling that must’ve been for her to suddenly be treated like a pariah .

[@Static-ash]

I don't watch this podcast all the time but when i do is always so good. Healing the world!

[@AxeMan808]

This is why you SHOULD watch this podcast all the time.

[@alannathompson7977]

Thank you for having Kathy Griffin on. That was such a great interview. She’s been gone too long and I’m happy to have her voice back in the mix

[@Zenithx3]

Kathy Griffin is a National Treasure that was attacked for political reasons. The ultimately cancelled comedian, cancer survivor and job insecurities she faced would have destroyed most people. Such respect, resilience and inspiration she is for being so Strong and Continuing to make the world Smile.

[@kab9706]

Thanks so much to the podcast for inviting her on, this woman deserves her flowers. One of my favorite comedians. So underrated, never should've been canceled and silenced.

[@jason916]

I wonder if you feel the same way about a comedian who walked around with the supposedly severed head of Joe Biden.

[@EJH-jn6mo]

@@jason916100% tasteless as is anyone who gives her props or gives her a pass.

[@Ottophil]

@@jason916why do you guys think we like biden as much as you worship trump? Serious question. It should be a clue to you that we vote for someone we don’t like, because hes not trump. None of us think biden is awesome. We just like that hes not donald

[@MrFinnyous]

It was a photoshoot and who cares? They certainly shouldn't investigated@@jason916

[@andrewprobst846]

She may be a bit more quiet but it's still her, love it

[@brittanyboucher3536]

This pod is so humanizing. It also feels like good record keeping (memoir or biography). Quality work for sure.

[@elizabethjoslin111]

This was a really good interview. Her love of comedy and performing and celebrity and her honesty was such a perfect match for neal I didn't know existed or the world needed. But now I do. And thank you.

[@JosephScott-ct9sw]

"I love what you do" -- Norm Macdonald to Kathy

[@grandlaphi]

Well said!! Yes!

[@thingthang2904]

@@JosephScott-ct9swWhen did he say that?

[@EveryHandleIsTaken979]

You know: she made a choice by posting that photo, got a lot of backlash from fans and non-fans alike, and then took down the photo and apologized…and that should have been that. She didn’t do any other number of awful things that many other comedians *and politicians* have with far less backlash, such as sexually assault people. The way so many people just continued to go after her was ridiculous. I had a coworker at the time that wouldn’t shut up about it, and I’m like; “well, I didn’t like the photo but at the end of the day she’s a comedian and I don’t hold her to the same standard as a politician. Now, politicians posting similarly inflammatory things are the ones I feel we should be concentrating on because they’re supposed to be representing us”. My coworker did not like that response. I’m pretty sure she was a secret Trumper.

[@audreymuzingo933]

Not to mention the fact that it was the photographer's idea and he kinda pushed it on her. She could have refused of course, but I get why she had no idea it would be so explosive.

[@gag1411]

I completely agree with you 🙂👍💯

[@donnawheeler6283]

Trump loves litigation and taking things too far. Had it been anyone other than Trump, it wouldn't have gone any further. I feel terrible for everything negative that's happened to her. She didn't deserve any of that nightmare.

[@HeatherR-u2o]

Kathy is a liar. 😮😮. Conservative people don't use death ☠️☠️ threats.

[@pariscashin]

You always have the best guests on your show. This is my new favorite episode. So happy she is getting work again. ❤

[@mimitvfun]

YESSSSS what a force of resilience and tenacity! Lovvvvvvvve seeing her on here!!!!!!!!

[@tanjabuchholz5314]

What a nightmare she went through. I'm so proud of her resiliency

[@marieb132]

I wish they said where she is playing so I could go and support her. Hate what they did to this wonderful gal who always made us laugh including this podcast. ❤

[@moringaottawa]

She deserves better

[@Hollywoodhat]

She is and will always be THE BEST. I love her mind. I cannot stand what happened to her.

[@3581tossit]

Kathy deserves a Profiles in Courage Award. And, I love the photo. Thanks for showing it repeatedly, Neal.

[@fleurdelis1227]

I ❤ that foto!

[@leaantzis4786]

Dear Kathy, welcome back. I missed you. When are you touring. Shame on Andy and Cooper.

[@sambrownsings]

I still love her voice! It’s gotten stronger and, while she can’t yell or rasp, I think it sounds fine and she knows how to use it. I will always be a Kathy fan ❤

[@sarahmalcomb]

I hope this is just the beginning of Kathy doing the podcast rounds.

[@HH-gv8mx]

She was on Club Random with Bill Maher, Bowie Mandel and Nikki Glaser’s podcast. I will never forget when the piñata Trump head came out, everyone was talking about it and Wendy Williams claimed that Kathy called her..reaching out to Wendy for support or advice and Wendy also turned her back on Kathy and said she wouldn’t answer the phone. What a horrible,lonely feeling that must’ve been.

[@mannnimsobored]

Kathy looking gorgeous, and is just as funny as ever ❤👏

[@Magnificent_Mustang]

YES, KATHY!!! Kudos to ALL you’ve ever done. You are a living legend.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@jruiz2694]

She is so awesome. So glad to see her out here looking great and making us laugh again! ❤

[@gersonpierce3250]

She is scary looking! She has had an eating disorder for years too.

[@coloradocrone]

she was a scapegoat for maga anger

[@GR1NCH]

Kathy griffin as herself in Pulp Fiction is a hilarious side joke. I had no idea Tarantino did that. Was this before or after the Seinfeld episode?

[@AstraeaAntiope]

Wow, I had no idea how deep this cancellation had gone. I think, like her, I thought the nonsense would move on in a couple of months. I am so sorry these cultists have been harassing her.

[@MISNM0]

💔💔💔❣❣❣ I hope she can continue in safety.

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

MAGA is only growing!!!

[@matthewseale4165]

Bro, I am so happy you chose the legendary KATHY G. I haven't even watched it yet, just had to say thanks for all your creative work Neal! This show brings humanity to the comedy scene. Great for the aspiring!

[@KyleB_RCR8]

…and it brings comedy to humanity. A perfect intersection.

[@meandave]

Love Kathy since her early standup/sitcom years thru all her trials and tribulations and it's awesome to see Neal show her the love, respect and admiration she rightfully deserves. You both rule, excellent episode 🤘

[@maroosk]

During the time it was actually necessary and no one would do it or stand up and say so and repressed women needed it and I'm glad she did it and is doing well.

[@paulvato]

Such an amazing interview. I'm such big fan of the both of you!

[@maryparkis6991]

So glad she fought her way back. Hope she knows how many of us were always on her side.

[@mommyofceos]

We still love her and I'm glad Neal wasn't afraid to have her on the podcast ❤ thank you!

[@AxeMan808]

I don't think "afraid" is one of Neal's Blocks.

[@gdave53925_]

Love you Kathy, always have always will. You are hilarious and honest, two things that scare people.

[@FestivaGuy]

the reaction edits for each of them are so nuanced and quick, very much appreciate them.

[@leekyoverhere]

So happy to see her back up and smiling and joking ❤

[@shaunbunker4240]

Neal.. if you read or have people read these comments ... this was f@cking incredible ... keep up the amazing work please... and thank you..

[@lindaritchie4845]

Love both of these guys!! Kathy...you are fantastic!!

[@aagold76]

Epstein Island- I love how they accuse people they hate of going there when there are multiple pictures of Trump with Epstein!

[@jeffshaught]

This was a great interview. It's nice to see Kathy in a more conversational and humanizing light.

[@Coloradocorean]

I love Kathy! Thanks for having her on. I’ve lost track of her - her cancelation/covid. I did hear she was sick - hence her voice. But I have missed her comedy! I’ve been watching her since her Life on the D-list bc I loved her specials. It made me like Woz too.

[@JDMimeTHEFIRST]

I can’t imagine the things Kathy had/has to deal with from psychopaths. I don’t have PTSD, but I do have CPTSD from lifetime of being bullied, gaslit, and excluded because I’m autistic. Panic attacks have actually become more frequent with age (even during running which is my destress time). I love psychedelics. I think all neurodivergent people should get as much LSD as they want. It takes a lot of drugs to tolerate neurotypical BS. 😅

[@Mike-rk8px]

Have you tried ayahuasca? It totally changed my life after one dose, in a profound way that LSD or shrooms never did. It’s the most vile tasting thing you’ll ever drink, and you’ll vomit like someone opened up fire hydrant. But if you want to change your life for the better, it’s hard to beat. The only people that will have a bad time with it are people who did lots of horrific things to others, because it forces you to see the reality of who you are whether you want to or not. If Trump took ayahuasca he’d go insane and have to be locked up because he wouldn’t be able to handle the truth.

[@PlayhouseToys]

Kathy is the bravest woman! Wish her all the best!

[@newsfman2011]

I love Kathy G and I have for a very long time (like millions of intelligent people). More important, I give her total props for surviving her life since the bloody head photo. As far as I'm concerned, Kathy is a fricking goddess and I will never leave her fan club. Goddamnit, Kathleen, don't let them get to you anymore!

[@patcurrie9888]

Little point of criticism, too much cutting back & forth, let your guest speak without cutting them off. Kathy is a gem.

[@Issy585]

The whole Trump fiasco was so much BS! He’s the most deplorable and disgusting idiot, who’s constantly berating everyone and yet Kathy gets crushed by his cronies, for speaking out and saying what we were ALL thinking! Keep going girl, you rock!❤

[@laurahouser2350]

❤ Kathy. and her voice is sounding great, just like the "old Kathy" voice I remember

[@PhoenixAmar]

WE LOVE YOU KATHY! ❤️❤❤ So great to see you back and thriving.

[@ringbling420]

This is easily one of the best podcast interviews across the spectrum not just comedy focused podcasts. Neal and Kathy are such a great mix to talk about all the craziness she went through. Wish the best for her - I wake up every day and cover a mannequin head in ketchup and stand in the mirror holding it and starting into my own soul - just to honor the memory of that fun video!

[@architechofreality]

Love Kathy Griffin, one of the true comedy greats of all time. Glad to see her back and looking fabulous!

[@ginilinenkemper9261]

Miss you on New Years Eve. You have always been courageous and sooo funny.

Thank you Kathy for being who you are and have always been, and thank you Neal for being a great listener and treating Kathy with such dignity and respect. Thank you Guys!

[@theocdogg]

I thought the other Red Head's (Carrot Top) interview was the best one and then Kathy Griffin is like "Hold my Trump Head."

[@charmsz566]

I never turned on you Kathy!!!!! Loved you the whole time and still do!!!❤

I LOVE LOVED THIS . I love love you two real people. Kathy you ARE clearly a Gladiator!! I can claim it longer before you can feel it, and I claim it for you. Nesl and Kathy . . I had a hard time hearing you say nice things about dt but I obviously need to evolve. Hate hurts . Your dialogue lifted me. 79 yrs old here . Love learning and growing - thank you both . I downloaded this so I could watch again! And share!!

[@robertnunez657]

Kathy continues to be so instrumental, The voice of, have our backs, pivotal in the LGBTQ fair is fair right is right unbiased is unbiased impartial is impartial because while she has our back as the LGBTQ community she does not shun or try to diminish or make more demure those that are not LGBTQ. She's a true badass that continues to be a badass because she will NOT be rattled or shaken from those that abuse their powers. She's an amazing comedian, actor, philanthropist, and just overall human being

[@judymurray191]

Kathy, I took a class on breath work and my friends teased me so bad. I was so tense most of the of the time that I would hold my breath often. So funny to hear you talk about it. I have always loved, and missed you.

[@BrandyStaples-d8l]

Love Kathy! Been a fan so long I got all excited when I saw her cameo in Pulp Fiction. So happy to see her making such a strong comeback.

[@lauradonohue351]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this interview! I will be in Providence supporting KG in February!

[@janethuppi6041]

I’ve loved Kathy for years!!! And honestly I might have done the same thing she did. Was it controversial? Yes. That’s comedy.

[@chowfun1976]

Kathy Griffin is my favorite female comic. She is a legend. She did not deserve the wall of shit that fell on her for the Trump thing.

[@Ottophil]

Theres something amazing about the way she triggers the enemy

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

No, MAGA is growing... can't wait to see you all lose your minds in 2025!

[@ATChick]

I never stopped loving Kathy. I'm younger so she hooked me on Suddenly Susan and I have to see everything she does. I'm hoping she gets another show in Vegas soon that's not as late in the evening as her last one. Someone give this woman a residency!

[@stoke777]

I believe all of her specials are on youtube.

[@colleendignam4595]

Thank you Neal. Love her. Plus, she was canceled with a huge handicap, She did it sans genitalia flash.

[@leondarko8491]

This was a GREAT podcast.. you two need ur own podcast bc u get each others sense of humor SO well!!! CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU IN NC KATH!! 🌈✨✨✨

[@simplenough]

I love how noticeably silent the "free speech warrior, you can't censor comedy" crowd was when Kathy was literally being persecuted by the President.

[@Ottophil]

Its almost as if they don’t actually believe what they say.

[@Willrocs]

Whats your side like to say free speech isn’t freedom of consequences. It was seen as a threat. If it isn’t I dare if any of you to do the same photo shoot but swap it out for Obama and see how fast they come down on you.

[@collinsmcrae]

Plenty of them were saying that it was ridiculous. You just pay attention to the wrong people. Apart from that, doing a photoshoot with the head of a sitting president, regardless of popularity, is a bit beyond the pale. If Jordan Peterson posed with Obama's severed head, I'd understand the blowback there too. I don't support it, but it makes sense.

[@danyl7628]

Exactly. She would have been on all the Petersons, Theos, 2Bears and Rogans if she was a man. Where were they to fight for what was right???

[@collinsmcrae]

@@danyl7628 Why should she have been on any of those shows? What the fuck do you know about the production of any of them? Kathy Griffin has never been involved in anyway with the scenes that these guys are in. Why would they randomly invite KG on, when 99% of their audience either doesn’t know who she is or wouldn’t be interested? She has a niche audience comprised of gays and women who like celebrity gossip. She’s a great comic, but she doesn’t work the same markets. She’s likely never asked to be on these shows, or put herself out there like that. How did JP get on these pods? He fucking asked. He was also involved in a more important issue. KG was reasonably chastised for potential inciting the assassination of the President, which became an actual legal issue for her. If she’d wanted to go on any of these shows, she could have reached out, and several would have been more than happy to oblige.

[@JRnCA]

THANK YOU KATHY for opening up so personal for this interview. Therapy, “political” movement, - refreshing to see a celebrity😊 be so insightful and sharing it publicly.

[@yogamolly]

An observation I have made with cancel culture or tear down culture of people in the public eye, is those that are more genuine, authentic, vulnerable, and unabashedly themselves are the people that we hit the hardest and then hold down the longest. why are we as a society so afraid of people who know, love and express themselves?

[@ThePwig]

she's the best. the natural successor to Joan Rivers. She went over the line all the time.

PSA- Radon is a natural occurring radioactive gas that occurs from the breakdown of radioactive metals found in rocks and soil. It is the 2nd leading cause of lung cancer and is more prevalent in northern and midwest states and in homes with basement foundations. Radon tests are inexpensive and many companies now offer radon mitigation systems that are effective at lowering radon in houses with high levels. Also, nice to see Kathy again ☺️

[@iAmAlexRafael]

Always been a fan- glad to see her slowly coming back into media

[@HettiedeKorteDiplomaat]

That's what I was wondering: How many people showed solidarity? In my experience people start avoiding you. You're lucky if you have one friend supporting you. Most people are cowards. We're living in totally crazy times. Not just in America. I'm from Amsterdam. Europe is just as messed up. Great conversation.
