    Saw Fluffy in Redding Ca. A few years back .. his performance was great , but beyond that he stayed and talked to the crowd for 40 min after his act was done just hanging out and chatting it was the most personal show I’ve ever been to. . This podcast helps me remember that y’all are a lot like us we are all human .. I started microdosing mushrooms about a year ago partly because of watching Neal talk about his own journey with psychedelics , thank you for helping me find some sanity in my crazy ass life .

    I was FEELING the whole "older people in the family fighting and the younger generations watched that bullshit and said, "Yeah, no. We're not doing that." part about 25 minutes in. So true with me and my cousins...on BOTH sides. Damn older people fighting over nonsense and pride all the time. Anyway - loving it - great episode!

    Gabriel’s performed everywhere, and he is killing it on Netflix. And even with all that I still feel like people underate him. One day I think people will look back and realize what an amazing comedian he is. He’s not clean, but he is close to it and killskills without being mean, or without throwing out a bunch of profanity. And it’s sad when I mention him on Reddit People always just call him that fat, comedian, who jokes about food or whatever. He’s so much more than that.

    • @jimjohnson8999
      @jimjohnson8999 Місяць тому

      By most standards, he is definitely a clean & family friendly comic which is probably why he is underappreciated in the comedy sphere. But it's also part of what has created such a large amount of success for him, by being acceptable to such a wide audience. After all, he is one of the few comedians that can sell out a large stadium!

    Back when I was working at an Improv comedy club about 10 or 12 years ago, Gabriel Iglesias came an performed there. And one thing we the employees would soon discover, apparently in some previous Gabriel show, perhaps a special, he mentioned something about how much he liked cake. And ever since then, at every performance he would be at, people would bring up cakes and pies to give to him. Both store bought and homemade. He would literally have a dozen cakes or more by the end of the night. Now I felt for Gabriel who was dealing with a weight problem, to have all these delicious treats shoved into his face. Fortunately for us employees, he would give the vast majority of them to us. So I got to have one of Gabriels chocolate cakes and a pie (don't recall what kind now) to take home. I just started the video, so I don't know if this will be brought up or not.

    I believe the reason why the youngest born are more apt to be funny, was due to the fact that that was the only thing the youngest could do to get things. You were generally the smallest, at least at first. So you couldn't muscle your way around your siblings. The best you could do was to make them laugh. Plus it was also the way the youngest and smallest could get attention.

    No neal - the youngest gets the best - the older kids had to live through younger hard working stressed out parents (kids all piled into one bedroom). By the time the youngest comes along the parents have given up & and are tired & you not only get your own room, you get worn out parents who don't need to prove anything anymore. So its easy to be funny when your not living in a boot camp.
