We've come so far, socially..... My grand father couldn't admit he had emotions, my dad handled his emotions by drinking, but now I'm watching two publicly-known, male entertainment professionals honestly discussing and being well versed and self aware about emotions, mental health, and social interactions. It's soooooooo damned beautiful. Thank you for doing this - you have a specific audience and this sets such a good tone for us.

[@maloojisloves6586]

I was watching this and my toddler went up to the TV, pointed at Neal’s face and said, “Sad?”. 😂😭 ❤M

[@DogsCatsSnacks]

HAHA!!! Amazing

[@9mochabear3]

😂

That's so dark lol

[@benjaminholman8416]

You should get Joe List on the pod. He's perfect for this format.

[@Photik]

Normand, Morrill, next List! Trifecta

[@RayDavies452]

List is amazing. Just watched 4th of July - he was awesome.

[@BenTevikMusic]

Sam and his buddies Mark Normand and Joe List are the best thing happen to stand up comedy in a while 🙌

[@samanthab1923]

What happened with that Gramercy gig? Joe was like dead air

[@BenTevikMusic]

@@samanthab1923 I enjoyed it, the whole thing was kinda awkward lol but that might be the nature of doing that pod as a live show. Joe didn't strike me as dead air

[@samanthab1923]

@@BenTevikMusic Maybe but he’s a tough listen for me. I want to see that CK movie though.

[@roypaz5331]

​@@samanthab1923 which movie? The Madison Square Garden gig? I paid to watch it, it was incredibly funny. But I'm wondering if you're referring to something else completely and there might be a movie of his that I'm not aware of!

[@roypaz5331]

​@@samanthab1923 oh the fourth of July movie right? Just realized I had heard something about that right after my original comment haha. I totally want to see that as well!

[@JonathanHassingerChannel]

Sam is on the verge of everyone knowing him. Greatest Dangerfield impression ever.

[@NeighborGatsy]

Sam’s is good, but Soder’s is better.

[@HughBridgers]

@@NeighborGatsy Soder sounds like Ted Levine

[@dcool2u2]

"He really seems to care"

[@devanpitts3799]

Neal Brennan doing a bluchew promo is the greatest thing about this episode

[@Dippedwithsweet]

Bluechew was discovered in the rain forests by shaman thousands of years ago, it’s amazing that they selected Neil to bring it to the West

[@BS-cr2mv]

Sam is one of the best standups right now. "Same Time Tomorrow" was the best special I have seen in some time. Every time I see him on a podcast he's a great guest! Can't wait to see who else you get on here, Neal.

[@robertedwards9861]

agreed. he has really been on the rise

[@ish474]

I've watched every one of these the day they come out, but when they autoplay after another video I find it real hard to turn them off

[@cliveowen334]

I absolutely adore Sam, feels like a proper comic and a real standup. He's always a good guest

[@KING_PHILLIP]

Love this podcast so much. All I can say. So many positive comedic influences. So many positive human interactions.

[@macberry4048]

This feels like the most seamless podcast with things moving smoothly from one topic to another

[@douglasmcclellan3800]

As a single dude with the same views on relationships and love, that part of the conversation made me so happy and comfortable with my choices. Loving this pod so much. Every episode has been such a pleasure to listen to.

[@user-gj4ez6qj2z]

As a human woman, same. The qualifier "single" feels stupid to use. In an actually relevant context, like to someone inquiring if you're available and interested in dating/fucking them, sure, use "single", but other than that it's odd.

[@rydah1240]

What I love about this podcast is my ability to relate to it. Neal Brennan talks about topics on life that hit really close to home and the guests are always amazing! It’s like a therapy session I never thought I needed. Much love! ♥️

[@jessegreco8855]

Shoutout to that theme song. Love that groove.

[@andrewvilla2217]

Seriously, it gets me every time after these.

[@tinaisrad]

Of course Sam has a good story, he's got thousands of people watching him talk about life on his podcasts every week! He's accomplished so much comedically, but he has also shared deep and insightful things about his life and his perspectives on the world.

[@lille-mary1517]

Did not know much about Sam oustide of the bits of stand up I’ve watched. So it was great to learn a bit more about him. Came off really nice and hard working in this conversation with Neal. Really love that this is a podcast where the comedians actually come off a bit more relaxed, reflective and mellow while talking. Compared to the ones where it can get a bit more loud, fast talking, interrupting and hyper. This gives a great balance to that kind of comedian podcast. Feels like I learn more about the ppl behind the comedy in this form. Thumbs up.

[@father3dollarbill]

He's got a podcast! We might be drunk

[@KING_PHILLIP]

Love both formats, loud and obnoxious or cool and collected. I do enjoy the humanization Neal puts on them though. You look at these people and think they must be titans- aloof from the rigors and tribulations us poor normies feel. But no. They're just as human and just as emotional as we are. 😮

[@robertedwards9861]

yeah, check out the pod 'we mite be drunk' w mark normand. one of the best

[@Cool_Deena]

Favorite episode so far😀! Sam Morrill is one of the best comics out there. No one can work a crowd like him. Love the question of choosing your own biopic 😌

[@RayDavies452]

Great series. Brennan is a refreshingly attentive and insightful interviewer.

[@cloudbloom]

I love Sam he's good people. Thanks for this Neal🤌🤌🤌

[@carrielevin]

Sam and Mark in one month! 🎉 I love this podcast! I love seeing this side/Blocks of my favorite comedians.

[@LocChicago5]

I like Neal always give a shout out to comics gave credit to great Jimmy Carr for pushing Neal to do this amazing podcast 👏

[@Br_ittany1119]

Excited for the day, Sam makes some woman happy and also pissed off. The set will be better than ever.

[@jcolls1004]

Love Sam - him and Neal's most recent specials were both 10/10.

[@noomade]

Sam is definitely one of the most underrated comics out there...

[@timf7679]

He's one of the most popular newer comics today.. He's definitely rated appropriately which is excellent, successful, and constantly trending.

[@MARKNORMANDSINNERTHOUGHTS]

Hes also Iron deficient which is really quite something

[@rawpower12xu]

No way underrated He’s playing theaters. Has a podcast with Edelman, another successful one with Mark Normand, sells out theaters, he is properly rated and going upwards

[@GenteelCretin]

Kyle Kinane is underrated. Sam is earning his stripes and is measurably growing in success. Let's not let the word "underrated" become too meaningless.

[@noomade]

@@rawpower12xu 2 podcasts with a combined subscription of 250k ? You think that shows that one of the best comics around is properly rated? OK thanks for the input!

[@kawaiiafangirl]

Sam is always a pleasant interview. Good episode!

[@snodrod420]

Sam is my favorite comedian right now

[@tennisbum7527]

Too many comedian's specials were picked up by platforms because they has some personal attribute that the buyer's imagine had some kind of built in audience demographic. They did Sam a favor by passing and not forcing him into their mold, which got him to build his own following that isn't dependent on some suit's whim. i hope he wears that as a badge of honor and continues to put out material that is much smarter than most of his peers.

[@ACarptastic]

Sam is a fantastic guest! Would love to see Shane Gillis make an appearance on Blocks.

[@aidencooper5410]

Would be a short episode because the young Bull is flawless

[@timbull2704]

Sam Morrill has awesome joke writing and delivery skills.

[@user-ct9bv8fx6n]

I love you Neal. Thank you for doing these.

[@bigwill-pn5xc]

Love Sam. Another great episode coming I'm sure.

[@ampaone86]

I hope this show blows up. Very entertaining and original. Thanks Neil!

[@AxeMan808]

Good stuff Neal. I have to prepare myself mentally before WATCHING your podcast. I can only imagine what your guests have to do! Good stuff Sam. I am sorry to have missed the ATL show. To a friend I was: "Oh man I gotta go look - I know Sam's coming to town soon, like REAL soon I think - like two days ago."

[@bearclaw792]

Good podcast guest, really seems to care!!!!

[@xxCD7xx]

I've lived thus far like someone is writing a movie about me. Listening to this, I feel like doubling down. I hope Sam does as well.

[@user-gj4ez6qj2z]

🙄

[@billyheaning]

Sam Morril has an excellent voice for voice over work and he looks like Clooney's little brother. Neal read my fan letter about religion on HNF right before it ended. I asked if he would believe me if I told him I felt the presence of God. They didn't make fun of me, thankfully, but I would love to ask him the question again now that he believes in a God.

[@bruceleroy9203]

Missouri is his go to example on every pod 😂🤣😬

[@jackdaw99]

I just love Sam. That’s all

[@robertedwards9861]

The John Cazale thing’s going to leave a mark

[@robdmusic8702]

Around the 30:33 mark is so goddamn true. Reminds me of Frank Turner, a great singer songwriter commenting on playing music, "This shit wasn't fashionable when I fell in love, when the hipsters move on, why should I give a fuck?!".

Cosby is coming out with his own roof special after Sam did it. It's called "Diddler on the Roof".

[@lalah9481]

Single 4 life? Best example IMO? Lewis Black and Kathleen Madigan; awesome comics/performers/casters, best buds, both have inquiring minds and a curiosity for life, active and appear to be happy single🤗. Keep your foundations solid, your networks fed, and step out of the comfort zone once in a while. Life well lived! Connections are connections-with or without marriage.🤗✨💖

[@wheydwressur8714]

i think neal may be low searching for a comedian to make a movie about with that who plays you and whats the arc question he asks them all...if so cant wait if not why not

[@Roshuwah]

Irish with a Jewish rising 😂, that got me

[@DanielCrist]

47:45 - on one of his podcasts Sam definitely mentioned a casino gig he did recently where he randomly bumped into one of his friends at the tables, and now it's killing me that I can't remember who it was because he's using him as the prime example of "friends not to get advice from" here. He probably doesn't remember that he already mentioned this incident and mentioned the person by name on his podcast.

[@cinetings]

Elliot Gould would be casted in Sam's biopic

[@LeslieDugger]

I’ve been married/with-the-same-person for 20 years… I still have no answers on why it works. Can’t stand “fixer friends”
