Neil, I’ll wait for all of your specials and shows. I admire you and have been a fan for years and years!

[@lisablackmon3251]

Crazy Good is Crazy Funny!! I am seriously memorizing every line!! Can't stop watching it!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@juanamorales5035]

I’ve seen all of Neil’s comedy specials and I love this last one the best. I’ve rewatched it a couple of times already.

[@TheOldHippiebilly]

Neal, that burger franchise analogy was spot on! Glad you're doing well, man. Thanks, Tom, for your delightful podcast. ❤

[@matthewishunting]

Tom Papa was incredible live when I saw him. Also his intro song to his Podcast is the best. Stop smoking

[@ricbogart1968]

I liked seeing my brand..:)

[@TheOldHippiebilly]

Like Twain said: "Quitting smoking is easy. I've done it a thousand times." But I'm happy to say that after smoking 2 packs a day for 50 years, I finally DID quit! So it is possible. ❤

[@The_Dionysus_One]

The mere *half-life* of the radioactive heavy metals (Lead-210 particularly, which, IIRC, sometime after ingestion converts to Polonium in the body ) that attach and enmesh themselves into the trichromes of the tobacco leaves (thus are not washed off by rains or water), accumulating as a consequence of mass industrial tobacco farming practices like the wide use of specific pesticides and fertilizers is ironically (literally, I shit you not) somewhere around ~50 years as well. This is why one may have heard of another who quit ingesting tobacco after using it for some time, yet still end up with cancers years after cessation of use. Why?? Because every time human animals ingest leaves that are tainted with radioactive lead and related metals, we are constantly accumulating and adding to and building up the amount of metal in our bodies, and the half-life, or the time it takes (for the average person) to naturally expel or eliminate just half- Just HALF! -- of said metal is estimated to be about 50 (fifty) years. … meaning all of the accumulated radioactive material stored in the body over 50 years of use, even upon permanent cessation of such poisonous matter, it will take another 50 years for just 50% of those cancer causing, “heavy” metals to leave your body. It’s such a tragedy (comedy) that you mentioned you stopped after 50 years… that’s literally what we have estimated the half life of the ingested lead to polonium to be. This is not a very well-known fact, but it’s matter-of-factly, freely admitted and it’s been observed and measured, search for .gov sites with this information, as I am just going from memory, but it’s such a fucked up coincidence that the original poster mentioned they finally quit after 50 years, because again, that’s how many MORE years, even if they never ingest it again, it will take for even a mere half of allll that accumulation of metal to leave their system.

But he doesn't smoke...

[@ricbogart1968]

@@voice_of_a_little_lady that's what I thought, why are they there?..odd.

[@pauliseri935]

To all the "Poppies" I recently made my own Garlic Butter found on Allrecipes. Pretty damn good, great on bread

[@lalah9481]

Great visit, love Neal. Def need comedy pics; only those who visit your pod.

[@KenEinatBarr]

Nothing as authentic as Tom Papa

[@gingerhitzke9185]

It makes me really happy to see Neal Brennan so happy.

[@N0tagrossi9968]

Great episode. You two carried a great conversation

[@AxeMan808]

"You're Daryl Strawberry!" - "Yes." - "You play right field." - "Yes." - "I play right field too." - "So?" - "Well are you better than me?" - "Well, I never met you, but .... yes." - Simpsons Softball ep.

[@robertjmckenna]

Bring her out... I'll be the judge. What a great line.

[@donbrunodelamancha1927]

Tremendous interview with a brilliant and hilarious mind, Neal ‘Co-Creator of Chapelle Show’ Brennan Algorithm engagement! I need to watch you bread baking to learn!!

[@vanessawhitneypro]

It's not hard to shoot food when you're starving.

[@thepohCv]

For the alg. Yay Neal

[@alanbainbridge_tville_ut]

Thrust into outer space. Thats literally what happens in Beavis and Butthead do rhe Universe

[@AxeMan808]

Louis asked Rumsfeld like 4 times in that episode and Rumsfeld evaded giving an answer all 4 times. Just say, "NO. Of course not." and it's done. He didn't do that.

[@camilleb7997]

Hi Tom, May 4, 2024 Saturday morning ❤️❤️❤️❤️😇😇😇😇😇

[@stoneman2023]

👍🏻💛

[@visualthinking]

"You get a lot of fans, and then you serve them garbage." So freaking true. Not these 2.

[@BuscatiJones]

love you guys, but its sad when you trivialize what Louie did. bamford and kindler are a few of the only ones i still hear criticizing that perv publicly

[@dosesandmimoses]

We’re not worthy!

[@josephballerini3730]

Interesting point around the six minute mark. A number of specials have had bits about the pandemic and it seems way too late

[@trudyowen3738]

Nice episode; Neal’s a funny guy. Tom Papa is great- -but even better when Keira is there, to catch his barbs…

[@VagueElaboration]

Two narcissists and a baked bread… equals this!😅
