Bobby Lee | The Blocks Podcast w/ Neal Brennan | EPISODE SIX

[@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.

[@Areaman]

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

[@XX-bm4eo]

Love him so much

[@LiveForFreedom777]

He is so real and funny..

[@franchisemiami]

Came here to say that lol

[@joey_ferrari24]

“But can I just say this”

[@blessembreaks]

Neil aint funny tho

[@angelaa7388]

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.

[@lucyn9967]

The chemistry of these two is instantly addictive. Well done geniuses.

[@brookeb452]

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

[@noNdeSCRIpt732]

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.

[@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

[@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.

[@setburhed4987]

Bobby Lee is the best podcast guest in the world, absolutely love him. New subscriber...

[@LocChicago5]

Check out bad friends.... it's with Bobby Lee and Andrew Santino there great together

@@setburhed4987 you watch tiger belly also? 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.

[@jetjet6560]

I have to say, this pod series with Neal is fantastic, but I'm realllly loving the *ding* and the text in the background when they bring up a new topic

[@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.

[@buntjohn]

I wish I could find a therapist like Neal Brennan.

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

[@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

[@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.

Neal is my favorite interviewer of comedians. No one is doing it better than him right now.

[@senna1995]

@@AfternoonFocus Did the champs podcast will Neal not precede Marc Marons?

[@AfternoonFocus]

@@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.

[@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.

[@Morimoto94]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@Kmmipak]

This was an amazing podcast. I didn't think I could learn anything new about these two , especially Bobby I thought I heard it all about his childhood . They were both great on this episode and they have great chemistry together

[@iainhamilton9864]

Fast becoming a favourite in the podcast world. Substance and a great interviewer in Neal.

[@Yayitsme]

My theory for the tragedy porn is that it’s sometimes easier to feel sorrow through other people’s pain because you aren’t ready to feel it for yourself yet. Same with the positive videos. You can’t cry and feel the joy for yourself, but you can for others. It’s what you were already feeling, the video is just the excuse to feel it. Also, when we grow up in constant fear, it becomes our natural state. To the point where not being afraid is triggering. Something must be wrong because something’s not wrong. It’s too quiet.
