I can't put my finger on it exactly, but i'm convinced that Bobby is a comedic genius. He's the best.

[@TheEmzley]

Natural talent. I couldn't imagine him doing any other job.

[@krusher74]

i dont know if its genius as most of it is unintentional from being so malajusted. He's actually pretty slow and normal comedy.

[@sumoblues]

nah. he’s on the spectrum of sociopathic psychopathy a.k.a. an endearing asshole.

[@noNdeSCRIpt732]

I think the shallow assessment of Bobby is that he's just a neurotic maniac lacking self control, but upon closer inspection I see a 'severely human' being with an understanding and wisdom re: humor that is illusive but undeniable.

[@sumoblues]

@@noNdeSCRIpt732 100% nailed it + innately manipulative.

[@buntjohn]

I wish I could find a therapist like Neal Brennan.

[@mopnem]

Neal literally thinks a drug proved god to him…maybe that’s the type of person yr looking for

Bobby is the perfect guest for this. He's so depressing & funny.

Always enjoy Neal on TB! Actually, both Neal and Bobby are people that if they’re on a podcast, as a general rule I click

[@ryanbowen9718]

Man it’s cool to see Bobby be so real

[@ponderingimbecile4775]

I still can’t tell the difference 😂

[@XX-bm4eo]

He’s always real!

[@scottwilson8978]

I agree. He has a different vibe here. It's great.

[@wes7949]

Even when he's lying thru his teeth, he's being real. Lol that man doesn't know how to not be himself

[@dolan979]

I was worried he'd be too uncomfortable and not open up. Glad to see him show this side of himself fully

[@JSan-ek2np]

Bobby is the Podcast Wizard. He get everyone’s numbers up

[@MergatroidS]

All of the emotion, realness, and humor of this podcast somehow circling right back to "HE NEEDS TO PAY" is the most hilariously Bobby Lee thing ever. It's so refreshing to see him in different environments. He's a super likable guy.

[@TommyNicoletti]

Bobby feels so different here than on bad friends and stuff man this podcast brings out the humanity in other comics and I love that

[@setburhed4987]

My favorite was when Chris DeStefano was last on there after Bobby broke up and Bobby was making fun of him and Chris is like a Bobby check this out and opened up his shirt LOL 😆 Chris DeStefano and Andrew Santino are amazing together when they riff..... but I also like Chris DeStefano with Bobby lee.... and I like Tom segura with Bobby Lee cause Tom is actully a true fan but they shit on each other LOL .....

[@Stringz]

@@setburhed4987 I don’t like any of those podcasts 😂 I only like the podcasts Bobby does as a guest because the other stuff is just too boring to me. But maybe when I was a kid I’d have liked them. Not saying this in a mean way, it’s just how it is for me. I know I’m the odd one out in this crowd. It’s fine haha This interview is definitely one of the better ones to me for sure. The way he grow up is so relatable too. My dad threw bricks at me and the last time he attacked me I pinned him against the wall and my moms screaming and then I just let him go and then he never came at me again. But the psychological stuff continued for ages. And I was desperate to die for most of my life. So I know the depth of those dark feelings and that is real pain. When you are living for years and years where you’ve accepted death and are desperate for that but have no way out reliably, it’s extremely painful. Anyway yea this podcast has lots of interesting stuff.

[@mariuszadamczyk7766]

[@cdizzy42069]

Honestly, that's a great way to convey the genius of Bobby Lee

[@slayerduval1]

Bobby, you're not addicted to "tragedy porn," you just like a good "controlled cry." You set the stage to allow yourself a good cry and a flood of emotion, all on your own terms. It can be healthy.

[@Gayactormichaeldouglas6969]

It’s annoying g how Bobby still recycles the bullshit khalyla tells him about himself

[@rickeykoga2312]

I work in a female dominated industry and I see the power of release that comes with crying - crying allows you to get over things completely in many ways. As someone who struggles to cry at all, I'm always open to a scheduled good cry over some sappy video

[@slayerduval1]

@@rickeykoga2312 My go-to that never fails is the last 8 minutes of the Six Feet Under finale. 😭 I can cry enough to feel cleansed.

[@lumos2230]

Crying is the move

[@crackthefoundation_]

I did this when my grandmother died when I was 17, there wasn't a proper"" place to cry so I ended up crying over some dead kid who died in a car accident, but later I realized it was for my gramma, i can see Bob doing this w his dad possibly

[@misun808]

Anything with Bobby Lee I click! 😂 Bobby Lee is one of a kind! One of the most entertaining and hilarious comics!

[@georgia.oatley]

Neal's presence that allows him to immediately comment on Bobby's pronunciation of "P" and also the frozen moment 53:49 were the funniest parts of this podcast lol. So dry and almost omnipresent. Bless.

[@Fiddlersgreen452]

My heart felt very heavy today and these two just gave me back some light. Love you both tremendously. Thank you guys for being vulnerable and honest yet still so damn funny.

[@thomasobrien1427]

Bobby is so relatable to so many of us. He’s truly put a smile on my face when I’ve been at some of my own lowest moments. Great podcast Neil, thank you!

@@senna1995 No. And, also, on The Champs, Neal wasn’t being the mature adult that he’s being here.

[@tookie36]

Not only is he mature he is actually making content beyond just throwing up a microphone and throwing out episodes. Just like Blocks he has a theme, purpose, and is focused. Everyone else, esp in the comedy world, is just pushing out content for the algorithm.

[@mystiedawndekrey6313]

I love seeing this trend of male comedians having therapy with each other. It is cathartic since I grew up where men were told to keep their feelings to themselves and therapy was for p@ssies. This is nice to see, the raw honesty and shameless sharing between two men who chose comedy over tragedy.

[@mistywatercolormemories]

One thing I love about Bobby Lee(besides being hilarious) is that when he is serious, he always seems to say something that hits home with me personally. I think his openness adds to his likability and makes his comedic talents stand out. Great episode. I love this podcast, Neal.

[@iNineJTB]

The story at the end about Jim Breuer is incredible.What makes it even better is that Neil and Bobby had completely different views on it

[@BS-cr2mv]

Wow this is a deep conversation. Was not expecting so much depth from Bobby “The Slept King” Lee

[@bper6435]

I’ve always loved Bobby Lee, since MADtv days, I’ve watched so many bad friends episodes, but this is by far my favourite podcast with Bobby Lee. He’s so real, super vulnerable (my heart goes out to him) and effortlessly hilarious. I love you Bobby.

[@k.c.simonsen2]

What is this like the sixth episode and Neal is already a fuckin amazing interviewer. Doesn't miss a beat, asks deep questions, gives real feedback, and stays respectful and still hilarious through the whole thing. I fuckin love this podcast, can't wait to see the one with Dave.

It's such a relief when you get to talk to someone who comes from an adverse childhood and you can just be real about it without having to deal with the other person freaking out about the messed up things you went through. I see that in this interview.

[@youruncle3840]

What a great combination of souls. When they started admitting deeper truths and then consoling each other... I could sense their two inner children reaching out a hand to each other

Bro I need micro slight acknowledgment conversation in my life. 😂 I'm literally filled with discomfort because I feel like I'm the deep moody guy who thinks or reads into things too much yet I love noticing the tiny details and I enjoy conversations with people who allow me to express that and who also get it or are understanding of it.

That glass molding of a human head with flowers where the brain would be is beautiful symbolism. Also, you should always let go of resentment, as Neil said, it just fills you up with bile and uses energy you could have you'd to progress yourself. Great pod. God bless.
