Neal Brennan Talks Re-Connecting with Dave Chappelle | NEW RORY & MAL

[@TrvisXXIII]

You can hear Rory & Mal projecting with those questions lol

[@ImJustaWill]

Especially when Rory said he likes to see Redemption story because I really think he wants to make up with Joe but Mal is an obstacle.

He spoke in circles without speaking in circles in some weird way. We all got that one friend so I understand what he saying.

[@robsnow2099]

Dave lol

[@terrycullen3302]

I was just thinking, he wasn't really making himself clear. He made his point about the topic much clearer when he was on Rogan's podcast.

[@jcarr1399]

I think he was trying to speak on it without divulging personal moments and conversations I notice that about celebrities that respect another celebrity or they’re actual friends irl…they end up sounding inconsistent because they’re trying to be so careful about how they speak on situations

[@kcguy8864]

When he said “the night Carlin died” i THOUGHT he said “ the night HARLAND died” as in Harland Williams, i was like “OH NO i didn’t even hear about that 😢”

[@violetgc6049]

Same I literally just googled this omg

[@Lusciouslysorry]

How did you not hear about Harland dying? He talks about it all the time on his podcast, The Harland Highway. He says the thing he's most proud of about him dying is that he brought Dave and Neal back together again.

[@kcguy8864]

@@Lusciouslysorry clearly i don’t listen to his podcast

[@eacomedy]

I literally had to reassure myself that Harland did in fact show up to save Tom Green when he fell asleep on his livestream during pandemic, in order to logic out that Mr. Brennan had said "Carlin" ❤

[@solsallee6638]

Same lol, the hard C didn’t come thru, immediately googled Harland 😅 08 is when Carlin died so it links up

If you read a transcript of how Neal’s talking here you’d think the printer fucked up. Every sentence, two words in, it stops and starts a new sentence only to repeat the pattern again and again…

[@johnclavis]

Thank you, I'm listening while using an electric razor and I'm thinking my razor is making me miss words or something because I can't make sense of anything he's saying 🤣

[@puremercury]

He sounds like when that female reporter had that complex migraine on air and people thought she was stroking out.

[@scurvyelephant333]

Stuck in the dot matrix.😂

[@ImJustaWill]

Unfortunately I think it is a personality trait AND he was trying not to air out the shit that happened between him and Dave. So he was trying to edit himself and select his words wisely.

[@scurvyelephant333]

@@ImJustaWill I think more the second part. I’ve listened to him quite a bit; and he’s a smart, insightful guy, and generally communicative.😜 It’s a complex subject that involves the private relationship of two public people. He’s a very open person, but I think also being mindful of the relationship and DC’s privacy, and perhaps navigating some tricky dynamics that may be challenging to discuss publicly.

[@godswiph]

His failure to communicate in a clear, straightforward manner here makes me feel like he’s still processing and still healing. Which is fine. But, boy, is he all over the place here.

[@moreovaltineplz1]

It means he did a very bad thing but is embarrassed to say it on the show. Hint, hint.

[@puremercury]

​@@moreovaltineplz1Yeah, I don't know about that.

[@oophorror2251]

@@moreovaltineplz1his earlier interviews are more revealing. He basically said the studio pitted them against each other while negotiating salaries and Dave signed his deal without a care for what his co-creator would get. He’s also said Dave basically called him a racist on Oprah and he had no way of getting ahold of him after he went to Africa. I’m sure the success went to Neal’s head but it caused Dave to go crazy. What’s interesting is the perceived failure of Half Baked ruined their friendship for years. And the success of CS did as well. So glad I’m a bum.

[@davidaldridge5716]

The very end actually did say alot …..he more or less was saying that Dave let him down at times but he doesn’t have the right to bitch about that cause Dave gave him the opportunity. In that Dave was a comedian and Neal was a doorman who wanted to be a comedian who was less known Then at the end when he joked that you’d have to put his head in a vice….he was saying that disrespectful shit does cross his mind when thinking about Dave but he would never say it out loud (unless you tortured him lol) It’s basically how a person would talk about a family member. There’s love there and it’s way too strong for anything else to matter…..but there’s little stuff that could have gone differently in Neal’s mind

[@scurvyelephant333]

Respect to Rory & Mal for letting Neal get all that off his chest.😂 Srsly though, it strangely made sense, and I do appreciate how they let him find his way through it. Most people would feel the need to fill the gaps and “fix” his answers. Listening is underrated.

He sounds like half of a married couple that got back together after a lengthy separation. They might not ever fully trust each other again, but the loneliness is a bigger Bitch to deal with than the distrust.

[@mikeferrerccimmcr1475]

I believe there is tension between most great artists who collaborate. often it is that friction that polishes their art and is the root of their success . Look at the Beatles,van halen, the stones. I believe Keith Richard said I have never hated or loved anyone more than Mick Jagger in my entire life. I think that sums it up pretty well right there.

Neal is usually a pretty articulate guy... and had a hard time explaining a real long friendship. But I knew what he was trying to say. Chappelle is a complex guy and whoever gets to be co-worker & friend coming up in those in & out of Hollywood for years & years is not going to have a regular anything with Chappelle. I get the feeling Neal is one of the few that can hold his own with Chappelle... in exchange of ideas, writing, humor & discussion. And how to phrase the ups & downs, the frequent back & forth to the mobths with no contact of a relationship? You can't... but he still said a lot.

@@Altoclefkitty way further back, Neal and Dave met and became co-writers on jokes when they were on the NYC circuit, both only 18. There is a long history there. They knew and worked together at the beginning of their careers and, when Dave’s took off, he helped Neal al lot, but Neal did help write a bit on Chappell Show or they’d have never hit the original season’s deadlines which would have had serious financial consequences for Dave right before the show became a rocket ship. I’m not sure I’d go so far as to say Dave respects Neal in the same way Neal respects Dave, he has to, but Dave is aware that Neal, in his own way, did help make him successful.
