Dude, Tom explained being overweight EXACTLY how it is. I've been overweight the majority of my life and it's a life long battle. Lost 80lbs years ago and gained it all back and then some. Currently losing weight again. Down 60lbs so far. I got about 100lbs, maybe a little more, to go but I am in that good place mentally now. It's great hearing that stuff from someone else and knowing they go through and think the exact same thing as you. Great talk

I’ve told anyone who would listen that Tom is my favorite comedian for about a decade now. But through podcasts like this, you get to realize what an awesome dude he is. Feels like being a fan of his means an endless commitment to bits (especially in a comment section) but I really appreciate how he showed up willing to be super vulnerable and authentic. The work on himself shows, and as someone who grew up with a narcissistic, emotionally out of control parent, who has tried most of his life to not feel things, I really appreciated the reinforcement to stop trying to numb or avoid feelings with this or that. Another great episode Neal.

Neal has to be one of my favorite people. I love comedy and some of my favorite comedians don't include Neal but he's still behind some of my favorite comedy ever, show, movie, etc. Also, he worked with Dave Chappelle. Come on. Legend. Both of them. And then there's his awareness and openness which I rarely find in people. I myself consider myself to be very open mentally. I try to keep an open mind but I'm aware of my life long issues with anger and depression alongside anxiety. It changes how I am with people. I will forever have anxiety 24/7 but as someone who never took meds for it, as it didn't exist when I was a kid (anxiety didn't exist I mean lol. Nobody really knew anyway). And anxiety is a normal feeling but I mean, I am constantly overthinking how I look to every single person or in public even if nobody is around. I'm always looking everywhere as I grew up seeing people get robbed, pickpocketed, confronted and beat up, everything. So I stay on my toes. Anyone can come out with a knife and rob me. So I gotta stay awake. It just comes from my childhood, like everything else. I found out some shit that blew my mind, after my mom died in 2021 due to cancer. I found out my shitty dad never was around even when we left Colombia to enter the US illegally. So me and my mom were smuggled into the US by boat. We had to jump off quickly and pretend to look like people at the beach. Well, my mom had to. I was maybe 1 year old. The idea of loosing all your luggage and starting from 0 while cops are making sure people don't get smuggled into the US. In that moment I know my mom was panicking like crazy. I knew her. She had severed anxiety which is passed on. But my upbringing made it worse. My brother turned out fine. But I'm here with ADHD, social anxiety, and severe depression for 10 years (now doing better without meds and just weed). All my life is my mom anxious as fuck pushing me to go out, do things, never stand still, never be lazy. It was annoying growing up. I felt like she didn't care. But she did. And I grew so close to her. She was my mom always, but she became a close friend later in life. I miss her every single day. Any time I remember her, it's bitter sweet. Great funny memories but also sad she's not here, died at 62, was my only parent, did everything to be super healthy all her life and she died from cancer. I was there until her literal final breath as she was sleeping/sedated. Fuck.... I'm gonna go smoke. Today hasn't been it. I fucking miss her too much. Why did I even rant here. Nobody will read this. I do this a lot. I put my thoughts into comments that I never return to. If you're reading this, thank you for taking the time to read a comment by someone who doesn't make sense half the time. Anyways, much love and respect to everyone. Please do good in this life. It trickles down to others and we all make the world better. Honestly. Peace
