I'm just putting this out there. I've got four grandchildren, and I want them to have an achievable goal. So, I'm going to train them to take care of Sarah Silverman when she reaches her declining years.
I’m there, too. For what it’s worth, I’m with you. Thankful for them sharing some familiar suffering and recovery and some light at the end of the tunnel.
Oh god, I needed this episode.I'm a producer in TV and Film and I'm going through a moderate bout of CPTSD and about to set up outpatient care... I needed this. Sarah's been my favourite standup since I heard of her and Neal aint far behind. How Neal FEEL? Apparently, Neal feel hilarious. Thank you.
Wierdly enough, when I was younger I did not appreciate her looks as much. Like 12-16 I thought she was super funny but not that attractive. Now at 21, whole new appreciation for her looks. Not sure if my tastes evolved or if she has just gotten better with age
Amazed by the way this two translate human struggles into words! I'm gonna look for more conversations with Sarah Silverman... She has a very interesting mind.
I am ADORING this podcast! You are both SO articulate and bright: writers, psychologists and philosophers at heart. And: Sarah is one of my all time faves - forever! Thank you.
Great episode. I love comedians that share all emotions, not just laughter. I would love to see Josh Johnson on your podcast. Like you and Sarah he shares emotions.
Neal i cant get enough of you....great stuff...Sarah is much yoynger than I so no nonsense....i think she is beautiful and enormously talented....a great stand up and comedic actress!
The section about brain chemicals/beliefs reminds me of the neuroendocrinologist Robert Sapolsky’s quote “I believe free will is what we call the biology that hasn't been discovered yet.” His book Behave is great, I highly recommend it.
Saw Jesus is Magic in Tempe Az with my teen son in a old single movie house and we loved it soo much. Soo many people walked out and it made it even funnier I'd say. We have always loved comedy delivered with intelligence and a bit of irreverence. 🤩
I’m late to this one but holy shit man; when she said that need to be alone, being envious of friends being fine or okay, needing the solitude; I have not been able to name that feeling. Right down to being with a mom that also needed to figure out her own shit but didn’t know how. So many similar sentiments man. I’m gonna have to keep digging back into the stuff I haven’t seen here because damn dude. Favorite podcast, hands down
I love that Sarah said stand-up ruins her day when she knows she has a set that night, because that's exactly how I felt about having a show with my band which made touring an anxiety marathon. My advice to her would be: alcohol. It will help with the anxiety but it will eventually ruin your stand-up career entirely so.. problem solved.
Wow! Listened to almost all the Blocks , but this one.... Thank you SS for sharing and Neil for hosting... Could just be the chemicals speaking for "me" but this one was cathartic.. Happy Halloween!
That Bob & Dave sketch is Soooooo Funny!!! David Cross finally dies and Bob Odenkirk snaps out of the anger realizes he’s super old now just goes “What? My life…” 😂😂😂😂😂
Crazy but I felt like Sarah had read my diary on how I feel/felt. I got on meds for depression even though I didn't feel depressed like my mom was I knew it was there.
Nobody (because they're more mature than I am) acknowledged the pun about diapers: Neal: "You're wetting the be 3 nights a week? Every night?" Sarah: "It DEPENDS"
Great interview. I was kinda hoping they would get into Sarah’s infamous interview with Bill burr lol… feel like Neal would be the perfect person to discuss this with her.
Your discussion about failure made me wonder if comics ever consider that, in the arts, something initially considered a failure is often appreciated later
Sarah has that formula that it takes to tickle my funny bone. Awesome comedian that also seems like a genuinely cool human. Neal gives an awesome interview as usual…❤
I always feel homesick, but I have no place to call home. I actually did stand up too for about 5 years, but I felt like I would never have a home unless I went all the way, but I can't see myself ever going back and doing that, I'm too sleepy and sickly to commit to it.
2:06 The fact that some people DON'T hear a voice inside their head 24/7 = mind blowing to me I honestly can't even understand how a person like this could exist on a day-to-day basis
I’m the opposite of FOMO! I’m always measuring how far away I am from my bed! 😂 so me! Just went out for a comedy show and a concert this past few weeks and it does feel nice too! 😊
26:08 Hey, some advice from the spectrum: If I notice someone around me is having emotions either about me or emoting towards me and they are not a friend or loved one I just make sure I take a note: “okay. Someone is experiencing emotions around me.” Then it’s just information about the world around me. I usually feel proud of myself for noticing. But you can just carry on with your day if you don’t need that validation. I don’t do anything about the emotional outburst someone is experiencing, because I don’t have a returning emotion back and I think emotions are activating things, but not doing anything is usually the best way to treat acquaintances or strangers. (IMO)
Nah, I'd just assume you're a millenial and maybe younger than her being Gen X but it's just our perspective shifts where Gen Z or Alpha would look at her and see her as old and definitely sees her being in her 50s but it's like people among our peers stay at a standstill or decently age as we do with them, I remember thinking it was nearly inappropriate how they made J Law play younger roles so her being only 3 years younger than me always makes me feel creepy finding her attractive despite being 33 now and I'm 36, not weird at all but at 20 and she was in major roles at 17 and on, just was always a no go even mentally thinking, "would I?" It was always a hard no just from that point forward and now still feel like she has to be way younger and yet it's only a 3 year gap totally unweird 33 to 36
As far as feelings like hurt go, I think it's perfect to experience emotions and you can't help the way you feel. So not only is it OK to feel hurt the ability to do so is a sign that your humaning well. This is the pain that is painless, all part of the courage it takes to have a human experience. In my experience, it's not helpful to inflate the emotion I'm having, and the reason that I am having it. Meaning, I accept all parts of myself, including all my feelings, but what I don't want is to tell myself stories as to why I'm having my feelings I just want to except them, regardless of where they came from or what I think "caused" them. I dunno
1:11:14 upside of your Blocks! imo or Sarah said that blocks are what got you thru or helped you cope.. like her discussing her bed wetting was fantastic for this lady who now has the same fear at 52! Manopause (intentional pun) is kinda a big bummer.. Love how Sarah is growing up with me🌟💕😘 1:16:40 NealB my goal + block is to write for you✌️🌟

I'm just putting this out there. I've got four grandchildren, and I want them to have an achievable goal. So, I'm going to train them to take care of Sarah Silverman when she reaches her declining years.
I think it's really sweet that you think that's an attainable goal
Please keep making these till there are no more comedians and then do all of them again
Super great response.
Agreed
When Sarah said "I was alone behind my eyes" I felt like I got an electric shock because I know that feeing. thanks for sharing Sarah, I get it.
I had this experience in '87. Momentary Lapse of Reason mentions it. Blew my fifteen year old mind.
It was a very accurate description of what is likely a common experience at least some point in people's existence.
Easily one of the most insightful episodes of Blocks. Sarah and Neal are getting down to the essentials.
yup
🎯🎯🎯absolutely agree
I love the analytical nature + kindness of this podcast.
I'm at the low point on my mental health and listen to this really helps, thanks Neal, thanks Sarah.
glad this helps. me too. You're doing great, keep at it please.
go offlline now, see a doctor tomorrow . never go online again
I’m there, too. For what it’s worth, I’m with you. Thankful for them sharing some familiar suffering and recovery and some light at the end of the tunnel.
Hey! How are you doing? Cam you drop us a note and just say hello ?
Great conversation, very illuminating. Thanks Neal and Sarah. Love you both.

This is the best comedy adjacent show currently in existence.
I wish Sarah and Neal had a podcast together where they just break down sketch comedy. Loved hearing Sarah’s take on ITYSL.

Same.
You're not going to be able to get Corn Cob TV next year. Call your cable company and tell them you want people falling out of coffins.
You need to give the editor a big bonus for the Big H Tour Poster flash. Above and beyond the usual top -tier sassy editing on this thing.
sarah being one of my first crushes when i was young. I can proudly say she still got it.
Yup. Still so fine and funny as always

I think I was 11 when I started watching the Sarah Silver program on MTV. Ever since then always been my celebrity crush 😻
Amazed by the way this two translate human struggles into words! I'm gonna look for more conversations with Sarah Silverman... She has a very interesting mind.
Thst squeeze at the end nesrly brought me to tears. Love these two.
I’ve adored Sarah for such a long time:)
I know you've been told this, but it bears repeating...these conversations are a net good for humanity. Thank you.
I am ADORING this podcast! You are both SO articulate and bright: writers, psychologists and philosophers at heart. And: Sarah is one of my all time faves - forever! Thank you.
This pod was so interesting, informative & illuminating. So raw and real. Appreciate it. Sent this Pod to my therapist! ❣️
Me too!
Brennon way does it right. I’ve been binging it the last few days. Good stuff, good times… no doubt. 🕊️
I called in to Neal's previous podcast and Sarah's current podcast so this episode really works for me. 🙂👍🏿
Great episode. I love comedians that share all emotions, not just laughter. I would love to see Josh Johnson on your podcast. Like you and Sarah he shares emotions.
I love Sarah so much.
She's incredibly smart, sensitive, sweet, insightful, hilarious, and so freakin' hot!
❤❤❤
Love Ms. Silverman. 😊
I have never thought of depression as a feeling of homesickness, even though you’re home. That makes so much sense to me. 🙏
Love this podcast❤just discovered it❤it has my favorite things combined: comedy and analysis and talk about psychology & depression ❤
Great to see Sarah again, it's been awhile.
She's a true gem.
Neal i cant get enough of you....great stuff...Sarah is much yoynger than I so no nonsense....i think she is beautiful and enormously talented....a great stand up and comedic actress!
Keep telling us Sarah. You're always on point.
42:19 So on point, so relatable. And she is SO RIGHT. Jealous people cheat. All of this I so so agree.
One of my fave comedians and biggest crushes ever.
this has really helped me, to hear these things. thanks.
Adore you both. So very much. Sending love to you
This quality reminds of TV in the early 2000's, lol. Glad they got it done, though! Good job on securing such an efficient backup 👍🏻
Good talk. I laughed, I cried,.....I had some inspired thoughts. Thanks from an ordinary (Joe).
The section about brain chemicals/beliefs reminds me of the neuroendocrinologist Robert Sapolsky’s quote “I believe free will is what we call the biology that hasn't been discovered yet.” His book Behave is great, I highly recommend it.
That’s a great quote. I really like his lectures.
Hitler was adding shows... So funny, Neal. Yes I laughed out loud. Love this podcast so much.
NOT AT ALL

This the best show now Thanks Neal
Thank you Neal and thank you Sarah. 🕺🏻🐕
I'm through almost all of the episodes now. Top-3 fav pods, together with Burr's and IASIP
Loved this. So many notes I took.
Best epidode in a while.

Damn i had no idea how insightful this interview would be.
Genius, both of you. I need to revisit Mr. Show!🎉
Auntie Sarah is the realest. What a treasure.
Love love love. Glad Sarah’s doing well.
@ Neal Brennan , please bring on Tim Robinson!!! That would be pure gold!
Thanks for talking about the need for the world to get out of “survival mode.”
▶️LoVing this convo ~great duo, really enjoyed this one! Cheers! 👏🎭💫✨

Hilarious when truth be told. Atta girl.
I hate dreading a gig the day of it. Then I load the car, grab a Red Bull and it’s game on! I’m ready…

Crazy but I felt like Sarah had read my diary on how I feel/felt. I got on meds for depression even though I didn't feel depressed like my mom was I knew it was there.
Nobody (because they're more mature than I am) acknowledged the pun about diapers:
Neal: "You're wetting the be 3 nights a week? Every night?"
Sarah: "It DEPENDS"
Very …. easy? Listening. Appreciate honesty. ✌️
PLEASE HAVE BIANCA ON THE SHOW!
I really miss the How Neal Feel podcast with you two!
Agree
Sure, it'd be cool to have her on this one, but the format of HNF was so much better.
I’m always shocked to find out people don’t, or have limited, inner monologues. Mine never stops - I’ve had it since I was very young.
“my mom On her deathbed, was holding my dad (her ex husband) and my step mom (his new wife’s) hands”
I could cry
Thankl you Neal.
Great interview. I was kinda hoping they would get into Sarah’s infamous interview with Bill burr lol… feel like Neal would be the perfect person to discuss this with her.
Yet another great episode. This one covered a lot of ground lol!
❤ that hug in the end summed up two awesome humans
Love all of these!
Sarah is great. 💛
Loved this one !!! Thanks Neal
Your discussion about failure made me wonder if comics ever consider that, in the arts, something initially considered a failure is often appreciated later
I can have an inner monologue if I want to, but it's like something I choose to do. It's nicer to have some peace and quiet up there.
Sarah has that formula that it takes to tickle my funny bone.
