I want to give Darrell Hammond a big hug. Not only did he do us all a big service by making us laugh on SNL but also doing the public a great service by being vulnerable and sharing his story and not sugarcoating it one bit. Darrell Hammond, we love you and you deserve all the love the world has to offer.
Oh my gosh if the podcast made you cry do not watch his documentary. It makes you weep for him and all the children like y'all. It's just not fair that y'all had to go through that. I hope you know now that you are loved.
"This too shall pass." As a fellow childhood abuse survivor, I struggle at times with spiraling into panic shutdown crisis mode esp anytime I'm engaged with difficult/toxic people. I've realized I probably have some kind of cptsd...and it has taken me a long time to truly trust and be vulnerable with a very small circle of close friends. Yes, amen to earth angels/ guardians/ kind humans who want us survivors to still go on with our lives. To thrive. To be a light. After decades of enduring how our abusers were actively terrorizing us, tearing us down and instilling deep fear/mistrust in humanity early on- the light is still within us, buried from trauma, but still there. However, as Darrell discovered along with survivors like us, we have to seek appropriate support. And trust in ourselves again to recover, heal and grow with love. I appreciate when Darrell mentioned about trying to prep for "grizzly bears"/toxic ppl; I try not to be hard on myself when I encounter one and find myself sucked into their pyscho- drama I didn't audition for 😅 the fact is that it's hard avoiding difficult ppl/situations - we are all human. All the best to you, Darrell! And thanks for sharing your stories as I'm sure it still is very painful to retell many parts of it. And here's to all of us childhood abuse survivors now grown adults- let's keep spreading our wings and soar above the haters down there, lol. 😂❤🎉
Same here, just the ineffable way that I can identify with the parental abuse was a tear jerker, but some of the things they said such as "this too shall pass", which I've always heard, but in this context made me... I don't know, I understand them and just knowing that I'm far from alone is powerful and emotional. The talk therapy, CBT, the ketamine infusion therapy, the classic psychedelics (mushrooms in my case) used in a strictly therapeutic manner. The way that their parents are, especially Darrell's mostly since he talked about it the most, the ruminating about who I would be if I had a stable, loving environment, working yourself to death or harming yourself whether through drugs and addiction or bad relationships or whatever, it just seems so perfectly tailored to be a an apples to apples comparison of my life. Not to mention the 5 guys that helped someone for free got me, because I am one of those 5 guys as I love helping others even if I don't know them, and also I feel helping others is helping myself vicariously through them. I am glad they spoke so openly about it, I'm glad more people are, and I'm glad everyone is here in the comments talking about it. Very powerful. Whoever you are reading this, I love you and you are worthy
@MsWing-ijnb I don't have much to add, but my story is very similar to yours and from what I can tell you seem to have a similar general disposition on others.. All that is to say, as I'm sure you know, you aren't alone and I appreciate who you are and for being open about it. Keep working at it, it gets much easier to open up about even terrible traumas. I hope you find everything you are looking for and deserve, along with everyone else in the comments section commenting about similar things. Much love, hang in there everyone
I'm a new father and recently, for some reason, every single podcast I listen to is touching on parenting and how unfathomably damaging it can be to have a parent that doesn't care, love, feel obligated on some level to be there for their child. It's fuckin mind-blowing to me how anyone could look at a child, THEIR child, and not be overcome with love for it. Thanks for this, Neal. And thank you for being strong enough to say this shit, Darrell.
I relate to this episode more than I should. One of the most redeeming feelings in the world is having the opportunity to "make it right" and not subject my kids to the same ptsd inducing way of growing up. Will I mess them up in some way? Of course. But they will for damn sure know they were loved, seen and taken care of to the best of my abilities. You get to be a kid one time.
That's all kids need. An apology from parents, a recognition of what they did wrong and I love you. Instead of denying and making you believe, the child, was wrong.
ooooo, i understand the sentiment and i do agree thhat an apology can be healing but i do think that an apology is not all we need. i think an apology is the bear minimum - which of course is incredibly tragic as very few of us ever even receive that
Damn, those years on SNL Darrell brought us so much joy and we had no idea how terribly he was hurting. So glad he's healing. Thank you, Neal, for doing these podcasts. ❤
Every man woman and woman should listen to this. Neal is so fearless to sit in the depths with others and seek to find the trauma and learn the healing. To also show his brilliance in healing wisdom. Hammond showed up with his story and willing and able to talk the talk is such a gift to be able to learn from.
Just when you think it can't get any heavier, ladies & gentleman, give it up for Darrell Hammond. Thank you Darrell, going on Blocks is far from a day off but, we healing the 🌍 in this mufuka. Huge thanks to Neal. I feel like imma cry in the car but, you're actually in the room with all that pain, rinse & repeat next week. Mad respect & love y'all
After Neal did Ayahuasca I could literally SEE the amazing change in him. Also love that he mentioned neurofeedback. I was an EMDR trauma therapist and started doing neurofeedback for my clients and myself and it has been life changing. What a time in culture that we get to talk about all of this. Amazing episode.
This brought back so many memories of my childhood. It made me cry which I definitely needed. I've grown quite a suit of armor over the years. Thank you both for this interview.
Wow. To know that someone else was forced to experience similar types of childhood trauma was not only painful but helpful as well. It's given me another small tool with which to fix my broken self.
Great job, Neal. I’m embarrassed to say I gasped with excitement when I saw that you had Hammond- maybe the most traumatized (and brilliant) comedian ever. This is like if the Old Man and the Sea accidentally hooked Moby Dick. I mean that in the good way.
I saw the documentary about Daryl a number of years ago. I was beyond shocked at the level of abuse he suffered as a child. He has such a strong recovery. God bless him and thank you God for his strength!! ♥♥♥♥♥
I've only known of Darrell by seeing him on SNL peripherally as a kid in the 90's and that's it. After watching this it's amazing the way my perspective of him has been blown open to a dimension of his character I could have never anticipated. What a tragic yet incredibly resilient man, thanks for this Neal.
Neal I am a huge fan of the show and this interview is absolutely fantastic. I know that sponsorship is a big part of shows like this but I would look into Better Help a little more. Better Help is a terrible organization that has awful ethics with a long track record of screwing patients and providers. Thought you should know. Thanks for all the hard work!
I think one of the interesting things about this podcast is to watch all of them and contrast the differences of our human experiences and also the similarities. You hear Jay Leno come on and talk about his experience and contrast that with Daryl's. Even though they couldn't be more different people, there are still threads between them.
There’s a short list of people from SNL that I view as gods, and he’s one of them. To see and hear this is wild and you just never know what’s going on in people’s lives.
This is one of the best podcasts for me. Up there with Conan's, Bill Burr's, IASIP. Definitely the best one about mental health and comedy. Incredible. Much love from Ukraine❤
Wow didn't know much about this guy, what an ep. Neal is such a good interviewer, he has the emotional distance yet openness, and asks all the great follow up qs
This conversation was so powerful. I read Darrell's book and was so moved by it. He is so courageous to heal this trauma. It takes a brave person to do the work to overcome his demons. Thank you.
That episode stopped me in my tracks. Hammond bringing us all that joy over the years…I had NO idea this was his story. What a conversation. Just…holy shit. You’re both incredible. I think the world needs to subscribe to Blocks. It’s such a fantastic podcast.
I don't know if this is the darkest podcast you've done yet Neal, or the lack of him describing his childhood, left your imagination to fill in the blank spots.
It is impressive how delicately Neal handled this interview without entirely losing the tone/humor of the podcast. I am glad this exists, I wish it resonated with me less. 😅 ETA: I have encountered the term "collective effervescence" for the idea of transferrable spirits Hammond describes.
I’ve loved Neal Brennan ever since I heard him on The Mental Illness Happy Hour podcast. This fits you perfectly. You were a therapist in another life. Darrell, thank you for your honesty. Cracked Up is incredibly heartbreaking and eye opening.
That whole part about the bond between Mother and child is most sacred really hit hard for me and there's so much truth to it. That violation that I experienced with the person that should have been a mother to me is something that I've been working to get past my entire life.
I wasn't able to connect with Darrell Hammond during his SNL career, because I thought he was TOO good at everything he did. Now I know why - and it connects. Thanks again Neal and Darrell!
UA-cam offered me a look at Neal Brennan's podcast. YT was right, it fits my interests profile. However, first time I went to look at one I was a little anxious. I was wondering why Trevor Noah was BLOCKING a Neal Brennan podcast!! Lol.
What an amazing story!! I read his book. Shocking. Its a miracle that he got through. This hit home for me too. My mother was abusive but only to me and she put on a happy face for the public.
Woah. Amazing. Truly deep and yet… still there’s humor. Thank God (or whatever) human beings have the capacity for feeling humor where the ridiculous is reality. Thank you for being you. Both of you. Peace on you 😘💕✨💖✨
Every time I think i understand, a Blocks guest makes me think of life in a brand new way. Thanks for not giving away the whole plot. I have Darrell’s book but haven’t read it yet. I heard he went through hell as a kid, and yeah. Sounds like it. Impressions as a trauma response. Wild.
Darrell Hammond's books are great. As someone with a very rough childhood, it was refreshing, relatable, and helpful. Check them out if you haven't already.
Great episode. I appreciate that he's sharing his story, there's so much to relate to. I was in HS when he joined SNL, it was such a great run and he's one of the legends.
@@poindextertunes I would say I think Phil was my second fav of all time, nobody can touch Farley as my goat, but they just seem to be appreciated more, likely due to the tragic nature of their deaths. I think their tenure during my youth has me biased perhaps.
Holy shit this was such an intense episode. My heart just goes out to Darrell. I hope he is surrounded by loving people who are honest and caring and mindful and supportive for the rest of his life 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💖💖💖✨✨✨
Amazing. Love Neal, Darrell in my mind top impressionist. My story very much same ... mother passed a couple of years ago i found out. Have hoped my entire grown up life that my father would apologize. Still waiting ... am here ... he's in his 90's.
jesus this was a doozy. thank you so much to Darrell Hammond for telling your story, and thank you to Neal for asking great questions. This is proof that podcasts can go deep.
Well done to both of you. Hate to sound cliche, but you are both a testament to the human spirit. To be who you are given what you have gone through is inspirational. Sending you both good karma and thanks for sharing your stories.
The part about monsters bothered me. Ive known people like that exist and have probably met them, but to here it explained like that just made me really uncomfortable at work. Made me do an audit of people ive known. Great episode!
Despite the dark aspects of his life, Darrell Hammond has brought joy to millions and has one of the best skits on SNL ever >>> Celebrity Jeopardy Sean Connery. Ironically, most noted for calling Trebeck's mother a __________.
I am an Emergency Medicine physician and standup is my hobby. TRAUMA has been at pretty close to my core. Monopoly( the board game, at 8 years old, not some capitalist BS) was my hibiscus bush. THANK YOU BOTH for this post.

“No one in this room knows who you really are.” Wow. What a powerful moment.
Ima use that one...
I’ve never cried while watching a podcast. Until today. As an adult survivor of child abuse, this one hit close to home. Great work guys
Oh my gosh if the podcast made you cry do not watch his documentary. It makes you weep for him and all the children like y'all. It's just not fair that y'all had to go through that. I hope you know now that you are loved.

Thanks for this, Neal. And thank you for being strong enough to say this shit, Darrell.
The only upside is that it helped make him a great comedian, but I agree it's unthinkable
Thanks for being a good parent, it's rarer than people think

Thank you, Neal, for doing these podcasts. ❤
I mean, he published a book about it in 2011, so it isnt breaking news.
@@neen42 I missed that, so it was news to me.

That was unbelievably tough.

One of my all-time fave SNL guys… uncomfortable watch but powerful nevertheless. Great episode 🫶
Thought it was EL-P at first. Lol
Lmao. That would have been dope. That's funny as hell tho, el-p doesn't look THAT old haha. Although the company flow album is 27 years old now.
Lol Damn
Episode bangs just as hard as Fantastic Damage too
Lol fuck neal get El-P on here! And killer mike next.
I thought the exact same thing.
There’s a short list of people from SNL that I view as gods, and he’s one of them. To see and hear this is wild and you just never know what’s going on in people’s lives.
Every male who comes out and talks about abuse (emotional, physical or sexual) is a victory and makes it easier for others to come out and seek help.
This is one of the best podcasts for me. Up there with Conan's, Bill Burr's, IASIP. Definitely the best one about mental health and comedy. Incredible. Much love from Ukraine❤
incredible... they ALL ARE... but man idk why but this one really hit me deep today! sniff sniff... please never stop Neal!!! ty
Wow. Just wow. One of the most honest, deep, and powerful conversations ever on a podcast. Thanks to both of you for this and peace to all...
Holy shit, this was such a tough one to listen to. Thank you for sharing. ❤
The white whale of Blocks. Kudos Neal. Thank you Darrell.
Wow. What a brave, profound, sad and beautiful conversation.
Wow didn't know much about this guy, what an ep. Neal is such a good interviewer, he has the emotional distance yet openness, and asks all the great follow up qs
I haven’t listened but knowing Daryl’s background and seeing his Netflix documentary I know it’s gonna be good and heavy.
Amazing episode, thank you.
Even by the usual standards of this podcast, this one is a tough watch. Fair warning.
I really appreciate this conversation. It takes a lot of strength to be this open and vulnerable. Thank you.
One of the best...so many pearls. Thank you both.
This should be helpful to a lot of people who are struggling. So much wisdom and compassion here…
This conversation was so powerful. I read Darrell's book and was so moved by it. He is so courageous to heal this trauma. It takes a brave person to do the work to overcome his demons. Thank you.
Did not know Darrell Hammond was such a deep guy, great podcast!
That episode stopped me in my tracks. Hammond bringing us all that joy over the years…I had NO idea this was his story. What a conversation. Just…holy shit. You’re both incredible. I think the world needs to subscribe to Blocks. It’s such a fantastic podcast.
34:32 Je...sus, first time i've seen Neal just freeze.
Great interview.
I really appreciate this episode ❤ sending everyone love
I don't know if this is the darkest podcast you've done yet Neal, or the lack of him describing his childhood, left your imagination to fill in the blank spots.
Just finished my second listen and I can say this is easily one of the best podcasts I’ve ever heard
It is impressive how delicately Neal handled this interview without entirely losing the tone/humor of the podcast.
I am glad this exists, I wish it resonated with me less. 😅
ETA: I have encountered the term "collective effervescence" for the idea of transferrable spirits Hammond describes.
I’ve loved Neal Brennan ever since I heard him on The Mental Illness Happy Hour podcast. This fits you perfectly. You were a therapist in another life. Darrell, thank you for your honesty. Cracked Up is incredibly heartbreaking and eye opening.
By far the best episode of this pod cast
That whole part about the bond between Mother and child is most sacred really hit hard for me and there's so much truth to it. That violation that I experienced with the person that should have been a mother to me is something that I've been working to get past my entire life.
Thank you Neal! Healing people out here❤
Thank you, gentlemen, for this conversation -- you are both priceless, courageous, and much much more and I appreciate you for all of it.
I wasn't able to connect with Darrell Hammond during his SNL career, because I thought he was TOO good at everything he did. Now I know why - and it connects. Thanks again Neal and Darrell!
So, probably the best blocks episode ever. Darrell, thank you for sharing your struggle.
Great interview! I've always enjoyed Darrell Hammond's work.❤
Darrell Hammond deserves to be alright, and I hope he is.
Just the brave, brutal honesty about life. It truly takes a very special person to lay it out like that, man. Truly…
Oh boy. That was fantastic. So good I watched the whole commercial!
wow, the ghost in the machine.
a guy i respect so much, an example of talent i use often.
Incredible episode. I paused half way through and went and bought Darrell's book on Audible. Love you both.

Hilarious guy and man, what a Blocks Heavyweight. I'm so glad he's in a better place as an adult.
Enjoyed this. A real conversation.
Maybe the most underrated player in the show's history.
thats fair. maybe Phil Hartman’s up there
@@poindextertunes I would say I think Phil was my second fav of all time, nobody can touch Farley as my goat, but they just seem to be appreciated more, likely due to the tragic nature of their deaths. I think their tenure during my youth has me biased perhaps.
Sounds like Neal been dippin into the gospel talking about inactive grace!!! I love it!!
He has! Ayahuasca
Holy shit this was such an intense episode. My heart just goes out to Darrell. I hope he is surrounded by loving people who are honest and caring and mindful and supportive for the rest of his life 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💖💖💖✨✨✨
The way Darrell nailed literally ... so good 6:00 Darrell not Neil
This was a direct punch to the waterworks.
Amazing. Love Neal, Darrell in my mind top impressionist. My story very much same ... mother passed a couple of years ago i found out. Have hoped my entire grown up life that my father would apologize. Still waiting ... am here ... he's in his 90's.
part two please.
jesus this was a doozy. thank you so much to Darrell Hammond for telling your story, and thank you to Neal for asking great questions. This is proof that podcasts can go deep.

I laughed, I cried, I loved it.
I can relate to a lot of this episode....was good to hear it
Hammond is my fav SNL player of all time
The part about monsters bothered me. Ive known people like that exist and have probably met them, but to here it explained like that just made me really uncomfortable at work. Made me do an audit of people ive known. Great episode!
I've gotten the most from this episode so far.
For the algo. Neals the man hope you don't retire

One of my favorites
It was damn good.
14:56 Damn. That broke my heart.
Damn. Just damn.
Born on a blue day was a great book that helps explain synesthesia.
The thing with the medals on the deathbed hit me soooo hard!
Neal needs to have on Jay Mohr..that would be a masterpiece…
Has this man ever done a Michael kors project runway impression ? He needs to if he hasn’t! 😂
Brilliant Human. Thank You Neal... Thank You, Darrell.
