Beth Stelling | Blocks Podcast w/ Neal Brennan

[@MarioJaker]

Beth’s one of the best stand ups around right now imo. One of those comedians that is subversive and edgy without making their whole personality about how edgy they are, if that makes sense

[@BPH55]

I love her. She’s humble and real.

[@pendensproditor]

I'm married to the right person after only being in very flawed relationships and I can vouch that it's weird. You expect it to be difficult sometimes and it never is. You expect that they'll lose their attraction to you and they never do. You expect that eventually a slowly-widening void will form between you and it never does. You hear people always complaining about their partners and you want to tell them life doesn't have to be that way but you know no one will believe you until they experience it. I get it -- this thing isn't supposed to exist. Beth sounds like someone who has found this impossible thing and I'm thrilled for her. I love her and I was very happy to see her face pop up in the new thumbnail.

[@charlesnelthorpe9252]

well said, wish I knew where to find the same thing.

[@amandacoffman4717]

I am SO GLAD this was released today. Seeing her in Pittsburgh this Sunday at a small venue. :) :) :)

[@ish474]

thanks for this heads up getting tickets now!!

[@thedogshouterer]

Me too! :)

[@BPH55]

luckyyyyyyyyy!

[@billymac5481]

Best places to see comedy imo

[@timothysampson9496]

Neal’s coming full circle. At what point is this a daddy issue or just a person trying to fit into society? Love this podcast.

[@shanerichmond4433]

Hands down the best episode yet! Please have Beth on again. I think I’m gonna listen again, there were a lot of great insights here.

[@sarahthomson8183]

I love Beth's ability to be vulnerable. Great conversation Neal.

[@clevermissfox]

Beth glammed up for Neal❤

[@nerfherder4284]

This episode brings up an excellent point that should be reiterated constantly nowadays: you can blame your parents for your actions until you are 30, after that point it's all on you. Adults take responsibility for their actions and endeavor to change for the better or at least own their behavior.

[@revvyhevvy]

Thanks for session, Neal! I feel I have grown...another arm!!

[@simonfea2]

I thought you were gonna say that it's okay to admit astrology is dumb.

False, when a father dies the boys become a man. Could be at 25 or 45

[@annabriggs4088]

Many kinds of abuse and trauma only can be understood clearly (in a way that can be dealt with emotionally), when people are in their mid-30s or 40s - for example narcissistic and sexual abuse. There is no cut-off arbitrary age. Often people relive the trauma when their own kids are born and the therapy journey begins there.

[@appropriatelyinappropriate13]

She's awesome! First time hearing her. Smart, aware and refreshing to listen to.

[@donbrunodelamancha1927]

Beth Stelling’s Netflix special is tremendously hilarious‼️ I have watched it multiple times, alone and with my wife and friends. Great episode! Algorithm engagement!

[@cassiescarboro7401]

Beth makes me feel seen. Very relatable. Great guest.

[@snadylady]

Woohoo! Beth Stelling! Great guest get…and I haven’t even started watching!

[@BPH55]

I love her!!! 🎉

[@icetech6]

Love when Beth is on shows... Always a fun guest. Have you had Blair Socci on yet? I need more of her in my life...

[@JJOK1818-okthen]

Thank you for the talk about relationships- I’ve gone through exactly these scenarios & really helps to hear you talk about it & validate my experiences - thank you 🤗

[@sinfulhappiness]

I love when my favorites are on the podcast circuit. Was a wonderfully mature (comedian mature of course lol), enlightening, and relatable

[@jjfreedom921]

Thank you for introducing comics I never heard of. Will check out her special.

[@TheirIAre]

Beth is awesome

[@lalah9481]

Beth is da bomb! Thanks Neal💖

[@darthasavage7213]

The end part of fostering honesty was great.. About cancel culture + accountability almost forcing dishonesty to some degree

[@okay.bruv.]

Love you, beth ❤️ 💓 so talented 💖

[@neilk4476]

Beth is so incredibly intelligent and insightful. Watch her stuff if you haven't, you won't regret it!

[@jKRONKitup]

Wow that Chipotle thing at the end is really something

[@ryanbeitler3231]

Shes very funny. Her energy is so attractive.

[@usquebaugh1]

Agreed. Piggybacking on your comment because it expresses my sentiment as well.

[@louieo.blevinsmusic4197]

For sure. Those cheeks help as well. Great smile,

[@naya612]

What a delightful conversation. Beth is a total goddess ❤

[@EveryHandleIsTaken979]

Hey Neal! I’m a fan and a subscriber and, like Beth Stelling, I just watched your comedy special! May I ask something as someone who is a caretaker and very close to many autistic people? Could you consider changing “Asperger’s” to “Autism” in the future (obviously, your current special is already on Netflix, so it is as it is). You probably won’t see this, but I just felt compelled to try and mention it since you are someone who spreads information on mental health awareness and inclusion, and not just a comedian Also, I really appreciated Beth’s perspective in this interview! I appreciate this episode!

[@milly-nb4pr]

Blocks is the best podcast ever

[@revvyhevvy]

Not sure about 'ever', but yes, Blocks does seem to have some redeeming social value. Class dismissed. (Loud bell sounds, crowds of kids quickly surge out and guys are 'copping a feel' from any passing female while looking the other way....

[@randellino]

One of the best, I've had to skip a few lulls.

[@benda18]

Hell yeah Beth!

[@moralhazard1]

Love Beth! Also, Bianca from How Neal Feel should be on! ...I assume you guys just ended the pod and it wasn't over a fight or something lol

[@gideonamare160]

We need a binky episode ASAP

[@TWLanddotcom]

I love the way Beth's mind works! She's fascinating.

[@ish474]

Always love Beth, so much so, I've stopped adding an R to her last name. There are people on this podcast that tell a story or a feeling that I relate to and then there are people for whom their whole deal I relate to. I know its dumb but so many of Beth's experiences and her feelings about those experiences are at worst the green part of the bullseye to mine.

[@janicenewton3667]

I'm not in a romantic relationship right now. Haven't been for quite a while and it may be awhile yet before I do again, but I absolutely believe in accountability. If I screw up at work, I own it. And EVERYONE- my bosses, my powers and those "under" me look at me like I grew another head. It's so disappointing. It feels like our society will never be in a place that accountability is normal. It makes me very sad.

[@JohnnyJasen]

I can’t be the only one that has a crush on Beth.

[@Akiwroq]

Cool Beth is funny af, you should have puff daddy on as well.

[@JLIGHT8823]

What a great episode. Love Beth and Neal❤

[@bridgidigital]

...also, Beth's Analogies should be the title of a book she writes. That Open/Closed Chipotle scenario was masterclass. She deserves everything she never knew she wanted or forced by societal expectations as standards to live by. This is what setting a good example consists of 🫳 🎤 💥

[@complexend4133]

Heaviest episode of blocks ive listened to so far.

[@71jbear]

Beth is awesome. She was great on YMH a while back too.

[@christianscacchetti9178]

Beth was on one of the first handful of episodes of the Honeydew with Ryan Sickler, OG status

[@ncd1967]

Man this was a fantastic episode

[@emeyers7]

Didn't expect a bell hooks shoutout, but I appreciate it

[@vanessawhitneypro]

Brilliantly funny. I dig Beth!

[@annamurphy3803]

I love Beth! Your energy together is great

[@bt3768]

Beth is so cool and easy-going. What a dream gal :)

[@mikeferguson4816]

I love Beth Stelling...'s comedy.

[@oneofus6924]

talk about someone who just gets better looking over time

[@nikolatomic8371]

Yeah, Neal is ripening up nicely.

[@joekowski]

Beth is so funny, but I could just watch her smile and listen to her laugh...she seems so pleasant. I know....creepy...but still

[@cmonman89]

Neal, can't tell you how much i love the podcast! One point of constructive criticisism - i personally wouldn't mix your "yeas" out of the conversation. For one, if folks are using good headphones, we can still hear your affirmations in the mix, they are just turned down and it is slightly distracting. I understand the temptation to take a few out here and there, but it takes me right of the natural flow of the conversation and i remember, oh yea, this is a podcast and not a real conversation, or whatever. Keep it as natural and real as possible and keep your "yeas" in there!! obviously just my opinion, and i will listen regardless!

[@johnnyceravolo]

This was so great!

[@williambryan8341]

Great conversation. She's dope.

[@jolmstea]

So gorgeous so funny... and Beth too!

[@Uarehere]

Literally just one block for this entire podcast. 😂

[@tunamelts7875]

Beth Stelling rules

[@blutiger404]

Wow Neal is very taken with this woman. I never seen him gush over someone before. Smiling, happy and extra nice. The oxytocin and dopamine pumping and filling the normally cracked and dry tubes in his brain that normally handle those chemicals. And look at the smile on the video thumbnail....its very possible for him to give a warm smile ..im shocked! The right woman can do a lot for a man i suppose.

[@gummo133]

Hannah Gadsby's new special is the one she tried to watch but couldn't finish. It's something Beth would feel the need to watch, but it clearly sucks.

[@carlrs15]

Ah wus roiped

[@simonfea2]

I couldn't finish the first one!

[@mnchls]

and of course there's still a contingency of Brennan fans who are proud edgelord dipshits. you know there are plenty of folks out there who say the same thing about, for instance, Chapelle's latest stuff. get the fuck over yourselves.

[@louieo.blevinsmusic4197]

I gave her last special a try, thinking she was just getting hate. It’saaaahhhhh…..bad. Not quite Brendan Schwab bad but not much better either.

[@stellarsphere4543]

The real questions Is if your next special going to be better then Hot Cross Buns or not.

[@aldocoffee]

I can see Neal busting out a pan flute instead of a recorder.

[@mskatefish]

Loved this chat

[@ds9908]

This podcast goes deep.

[@Mondo_182]

Beth rules!

[@Mondo_182]

15:15 love this

[@John-qt4si]

Great one

[@randellino]

They both skipped Berg Krysler.

[@simonfea2]

Can you blame them?

[@markzalewski1697]

Matt Rife? In answer to who Beth could not watch, or Hannah Gadsby

[@MattyBohemia]

She's lovely.

[@Bibbo8844hdbks]

I miss the old Dr. Katz

[@sumquak]

Possibly my favorite show of all time

[@usquebaugh1]

Took we a while to place it...she has the same laugh as Elizabeth Banks.

[@complexend4133]

Anyone who thinks women arent funny need to check out Beth. She's god damn hilarious.

[@sarahthomson8183]

I really dis like the term daddy issues. It's so dismissive and shaming. If you had a sick abusive father you're gonna to have issues with men. Let's not shame women with the term. Or shame men if they have issues with women because their mothers were abusive and have "mommy issues."

[@thescowlingschnauzer]

8:47 Neal is like "Get me into that closet"

[@chrismejia6274]

For whatever reason Beth Stelling reminds me of Tisha Campbell

[@Reefraction]

That’s one of her old jokes!

[@bridgidigital]

I see it. It's the full, kinda pouty smile. Lauren Cohen & Stacy Dash have it also. It softens a face & makes them seem more warm & trustworthy. Such a stunner. X⁰xO

[@louieo.blevinsmusic4197]

Haha good eye, sniper.

[@okay.bruv.]

Part 2 ?

[@MsWing-ij9nb]

"narcotics of the fairy tales" - "your whole life is a lie" ...love it, brilliant! Yes. 😅 Yep, no turning back once you drop those bombs on anyone who's stringing you along / playing you for a fool.

[@billymac5481]

Good stuff

[@vinsanity3510]

Phoebe Robinson is who she couldn’t press play on btw

[@revvyhevvy]

For your copy of the DSM5, please send $5 and 3 boxtops from your favorite cereal! Offer void in most states .. sorry

[@martinezee4704]

Hey is that a Temple University hat hanging up on your hat rack? yo Philly!!

[@louieo.blevinsmusic4197]

Yeah, he got it from Bill Cosby.

[@chris25861]

It rhymes with Fat Fife

[@hinnersd]

""That's an insult to astrology" LOLOLOL

[@mattdalrymple8703]

Beth can fucking write.

[@codyreynolds972]

I love Andrew Santino on podcasts but couldn't do his special Cheeseburger, I bailed before 10 minutes

[@okay.bruv.]

Why ?

[@louieo.blevinsmusic4197]

That’s how I feel about most of ‘em. Not a big fan of comedy specials.

[@allthecards.onthetable]

Hilarious you mentioned astrology as Beth's sun is the same degree as the Aries Eclipse on Monday... You often release videos with guests who match the current astrology 🔥✨

[@integralmark]

whoa.

[@californio1850]

Is Beth smitten by Neal or is she normally this charming?

[@grantbutler7075]

She's ovulating.

[@Choscura]

is this a date

[@Choscura]

because if it's not, goddamnit Neal, ask this lady out, you two have some chemistry. Maybe make the first 'date date" a visit to the same therapist together or something.

[@PoppieLand]

Hilary Swank vibes

[@BaltimoreBird]

Thank u; Beth + Neal (adore u) for sharing! Not done listening but I am having a bit of an issue.. lol! Believe me at the moment is one that I SINCERELY wish there was a « witch doctor> who could help. Peace ✌🏻 fellow travelers. Stay Safe + know your frequencies are treasured. 🎊 genuinely; TREASURED by this soul. Happy Trails. Will revisit soon.

[@C8zzzD]

Thinks she skipped berts...

[@P.dripps92]

I don't mean to bring Dave Chappelle into the comment section… But ever since his special in the park, I have a hard time clicking on his specials lately.. I watch any and all comedy but I don't want my thoughts of him soured..

[@raymondsmith9886]

Cake Hartman is innocent!!!!

[@debbiezysblat9786]

Matt Rife perhaps...

[@gianlucabersanetti6454]

She's more than beautiful, she's sexy.

[@ericwhatley5831]

*WoMeN,* *aM i RiGHT?*

[@Skunktruck]

for the algo

[@ericwhatley5831]

48:14 *H🔥T‼️*

[@agrace9213]

If you squint she looks like Billy Bob Thornton.

[@dannyf1168]

"You're betraying femanisim by wanting to be a mother" - weird take on what equal treatment of women means. Feminists shouldn't want to or don't want to be mothers? First I'm hearing about it.

[@accesspanels]

Can’t solve marriage can’t solve kids. Do it or don’t or whatever you’re both funny n neurotic and universe don’t care what you do. Thanks for the comedy, comedians. It is mostly chemical like Neil says. Why don’t we all worship the sun yet? It’s the source of energy and life on earth. Yet here we are still hung up on the sons of Abraham…wish I could go to sleep, better find a Norm compilation

[@Chillllllbruh]

More like Beth Smelling.......I'm sorry, Comedy

[@revvyhevvy]

Boo, and yet kinda good....

[@TrollHunterxXx]

Comedy

[@simonfea2]

Its like Spelling with a T instead of a P. - Beth Stelling

[@revvyhevvy]

Beth Stelling es muy caliente! But the hair....ooh was that a spider!

[@katizzle92]

She's really funny but I wish she wasn't so anti-man and political in her specials

[@mnchls]

internalized misogyny says what?

[@louieo.blevinsmusic4197]

Trust me, we don’t mind. Around 25/26 we realize we suck for the most part.
