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.
I can relate to having an emotionally manipulative parent whos great at sharpening that ice pick, driving it in your weak spot of a kidney, then occasionally being June Cleaver! It makes you not trust people, & you can’t cut off your toxic parent, but FUCK when they turn it on you want to shake them. You’ll never get them to realize what it does to you, how much time it wastes on this earth when you realize how short our time on earth, is
Really enjoying self-aware Tom. You can tell as much as he plays at being "pretentious rich guy" he's still that humble chubby kid from the first special.
I had been winding down my attention I'd been giving him and ymh because the pretentious was just starting to grate on me.. This is seemingly no facade, which i appreciate. Burt has been acting more tolerable lately too... and Bobby Lee... Huh... they are all grounding at the same time or something
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
Facts! Exactly what I was feeling too, listening to this discussion. It resonated heavily bc of Tom's openness about his troubles...He really drops so many truth bombs in this interview and it's fantastic to hear. I'm glad for you getting back in a better place in your own journey! Congrats! Keep going!
I've struggled with this for a long time as well and I felt the exact same way while watching this! So much so that I immediately clipped it and sent it to my therapist for us to discuss next week, haha. Super happy to hear you're on track right now brother! Keep it up. You're not alone!
What a great episode! There's such a big difference between when a guest actually comes prepared to speak about their blocks and a guest who seemingly just agreed to do a podcast and simply showed up.
Couldn't agree more. Tom brought it, and it produced an amazing episode. The comics who show up and disrespect the format are reliably producing really surface level discussions.
Right at the start of the COVID lockdowns I got incredibly sick. It wound up being a brain tumor that was making my brain crush itself. The sheer frailty and vulnerability I felt at moments like getting showered by my dad was astounding. I'm legally blind now, but I tackle the day with a different angle as well. So Tom is right about that whole 'almost dying' thing, it really forces a bit of change.
"Hello I'm Neal Brennan, I'm tired of explaining the premise of this podcast, but I'm still repeating it everytime instead of just playing a video in the beginning explaining it!!"
I love that this message of truth about life is being perpetuated. When I was growing up no one talked like this. Shows like this are a force for good in the world .

Top notch episode 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 I feel like Neal created a space for Tom to really open up about his inner self in a way that we haven't heard from him before. Riveting.
So awesome of Neal to bring a member of the Asian community, specifically the Japanese American community and a veteran of the Fallujah battles online.
Neal’s interviewing skill were really on full display here. That and the format itself allowed Tom to be open and vulnerable to an extent that I’ve never seen in the 8 or so years I’ve been following him.
My favorite episode yet. Neil is an amazing interviewer. And Tom is way deeper than I thought. It’s pretty crazy how a “tragic” accident can change your whole life. Good stuff.
This was a really great episode! I’m a huge YMH fan so it was really cool to see and hear a different side of Tom. It was great conversations through out the entire thing. I wasn’t bored for a second and was honestly sad when it ended. I could have listened to both of you talk for hours. Thank you for having Tom Segura the main Mommy on!!
My plan was to play this in the background while I did other things today - needless to say this episode locked me in and I thought it was a real learning tool.
Tom is one my favorite comedians and so crazy that it seems that I can identify with so many of the same "Blocks". Not all of this carries across in his day to day stand up and content. Seeing the little door into his life and himself in a more open way is very cool and a privilege. Again Neal does a great job, amazing podcast!
I really appreciate the deep vibes of this podcast. There's so much to every person that rarely ever gets talked about, and here you are doing that. Ive aways enjoyed your appearances on Rogan for this exact reason, thanks for making another great podcast
The "Buying Into Your Own Narrative" block can happen when you were strongly put into a role as a child that you were meant to fill as opposed to being allowed to grow into your own person. Um... my friend told me. This is such a good conversation. Thank you.
I LOVE the editing on these podcasts. Seriously the best editing of any podcast I've seen. It's so nice to just get a quick visual on all the obscure references and callbacks that come up so I don't feel the need to google it and I can just stay focused on what they're saying.
The section about Tom's mom gaslighting him and always feeling crazy and going "is anyone else seeing this?" I felt so relieved knowing its not just my mom making me feel crazy. My mom is Ecuadorean, maybe its a cultural thing.
I was thinking the same thing in that moment too. I'm a brit and my mom's side of the family are of Irish Catholic descent, so it's definitely not just south American mothers. 🙂👍🏻
My parents were both narcissists. My sister and I both learned to have a "narrow bandwidth" because if we were too up it would annoy/threaten our parents (e.g. they would be jealous) and if we were too down it would annoy/threaten our parents (e.g. that might bum them out). They were the ones who got to have feelings.
In my top 3 podcasts at the moment. Have one Swedish and this that I never miss a week of. Like the mellow tempo and great convos. No shouty, ”look at me”, hysterical (performative) stuff just because it is comedians. So great and gives insights.
It's so fascinating to hear two men who have really done a lot of work to become self-aware & in touch with their needs & emotions, discussing how & why they got there. Unfortunately a lot of the men in my life are stuck in the notion that they have to be the "strong, silent type", while being unable to see how their dysfunction affects all their interpersonal relationships- so it's really novel & refreshing to see. One of the most interesting podcasts I've ever watched.
🤯🤯❤️🤯 What did I just watch?!! 🥰 Hung on every word & legit just saved this to a playlist to re-visit, really breakdown, ponder & take-in, @ LEAST a dozen, Profesh-Level Therapy insights steady dropped throughout this Ep. This was so damn enjoyable!!
I feel that Bert is probably a great father, so giving and open, but also just constantly embarrassing. I guess it must be tough learning so early on that adults are still just figuring it out.
You two are phenomenal. I relate to all of these revelations, and you're spot on about the 12 step stuff. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts and experiences ❤️
You must be joking? Have you seen how he talks about working people?The man has a deficit of awareness. He has never needed it he was fat as all hell and had everything handed to him from a very rich family. There was no grind, there wasn't any moment of doubt with daddies money a phone call away , dont be fooled and his last special bombed but look at streaming and cinema currently. Its all advisement.
@@RobRoane They are laughing at YOU bro, and not just because of your income. You love reboots and Marvel too, huh? Just keep consuming and disappear huh? One day you can have a home gym and nutritionist, daily trainer and wont be a gargantuan basement dweller. This is sarcasm, im just kidin'. Just buy more.
I'm only 10 minutes in, and this podcast really stands out to me. The genuine interest from Neal, and especially the editing. Really good work all around.
After watching a few of Neal's podcasts I can't help but feel that people in comedy are the most psychologically impaired people on the planet. I am not saying this as a pejorative just as an observation. I used to think Rock stars were but sheesh these folks in comedy, by themselves, can keep therapists rolling in dough for quite a long time.
In a very serious note- this was a incredibly vulnerable side of Tom I don’t think many of us have ever seen. We watched him lose his father and he didn’t express this much personal feeling. Shout out to Tim for making the important changes.
My emotion and I are on the same page - Im a 47yo disabled Veteran and cancer survivor with no home family or friends.I want off this planet. Ive seen and felt enough pain, nothing will make it go away until I die. - disabled Veteran 🇺🇸
Neal, I'm now only 7 minutes in to "The Goods." We're on the plane to Temecula, and things are getting wild. This is pure gold. I'm so glad you mentioned it, albeit under your breath, during Tom's Blocks episode. Cheers to you, boy genius.
I'm really glad I got a chance to listen to this one,. Tom was super vulnerable and open, It's important to have men. Talking more like this. Thanks Neal!!
This was one of the most exciting and introspective podcasts I've seen in a while. Of course there are tons of "introspective" podcasts but so many of them are cheesy or impractical and romanticize fluffy euphemisms as profound dogma.
These conversations are amazing, I love the structure of these videos. The length of these is just perfect, very tight and concise and the fact that can you get there with guests really helps shed some light on a side of people we rarely get to see. Thank you.
This might be my favourite appearance of Tom I've ever seen. It's clear he respects Neal and can talk openly and listen. Real funny real sincere. It's awesome thanks
Such a great episode, Neal does such a great job interviewing. Asks insightful questions then actually lets the guest answer and actively listens to their response, doesn’t just make it about himself which seems simple and obvious yet is an ability so many podcast hosts seem to lack. Tom’s sincerity and vulnerability was refreshing, he’s a genuinely good person.
That's crazy. Tom just encapsulated all the feelings I had as I was starting my weight loss journey. Spot on 2 years in currently. For the first time the other day I didn't hate looking at myself in the mirror and I was like oh shit who knows what kind of mental damage I've done over the years just from my reflection 😅
“Blocks” are a real thing. In social work circles or other helping professions there’s a similar concept called “barriers”. Neal is doing such a service with this podcast. It’s great that mental health is more in the conversation nowadays, & it’s great that Neal is riding the wave of culture becoming more enlightened. Vote Neal for Eternal Dictator of the Universe.
What a interesting / vulnerable side of Tom you don't normally see, compared to a pure comedic interview. Great job Neal!
The HoneyDew is another good one to see comedians vulnerable sides. Tom was on there but I can't remember how vulnerable he was. Still a good watch
Tommy has levels to him
@@Tijs2331 It wasn't quite this open, and Neal is a lot less annoying than Ryan.
Well said
@@joalco3he's like a Onion

Tom’s moment has been the last 7 years….he’s just doing press for his new special
I guess you're new.
Neal killing it with great conversations. one of the Best conversations i've heard Tom have.
I am thoroughly enjoying this and also love that Tommy hasn't corrected Neal once for calling Jean "Christine" 😂

Difference between someone who goes to therapy regularly and not. Tom knows whats up.
