Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! Here's a little something for you to watch while you're basting those turkeys. Comment down below for the algo!

Research has shown psilocybin to have potent to treat a range of psychedelic and behavioral disorder.

The fact that he is thinking about the ‘kids’ life prior and if he would be capable emotionally shows he would be a great dad, majority of people don’t go to this extent with similar personality /traits

Thank y'all for the laughs! Holiday season can be rough for some of us, so glad to have my comedian family of podcasters around.

The appeal of this show is how it instantly goes off the rails 😂😂

Holy shit the end of this episode is fucking insane. People in the comments are like, “let’s all appreciate flagrant dropping new episodes” oblivious to the fact that this episode Neal Brennan describes seeing God and becoming almost completely psychotic lol. Im immensely happy he’s okay. Dude is incredibly thoughtful and insightful.

Neal: ‘’Hook me up with that mid life crisis look?’’ Barber: ‘Say no more fam’’

It's truly commendable how often you are pumping new content. I literally had no idea about this podcast 3 months ago and now it's one of my favs. Much love!

I loved that Neal got the space to talk about this experience without getting interrupted with shitty jokes any other second. Schulz felt that some real shit was told and held back. Nice!

I'm so glad Neal is getting his time in the spotlight. Dude has been writing some of the best jokes / sketches for YEARS now and just flew under the radar. One of the most underrated writers of today's era in my opinion. Huge fan.

I didn't do DMT like Brennan but I had something similar when I did shrooms as a teen where I had a breakthrough realization about life and knew I couldn't kill myself because I knew I was here for eternity, but I had this existential dread that I needed to resign to and make peace with, where I saw with absolute certainty that everything was ironic and that no matter what I chose to do I couldn't escape the irony because everything was entangled together like the symbol for infinity where it loops back on itself or the snake eating its own tail, or the concept that the entirety of the universe wraps in on itself back into the smallest particle that simultaneously composes it.

The last 25 mins of the Pod are absolute fire

This was unexpected, but appreciated. Happy thanksgiving boys!

My pro tip: If youre ever on TOO INTENSE of a drug trip... just take solace in the fact that you scored some good-ass drugs. Always makes me feel better. And my other mantra: "This is what were here for, this is why we chose to get high." Have fun and stay safe yall! It aint always what it's cracked up to be, but itll always be what YOU crack it up to be. :)

I relate so much with Neal Brennan. I found myself desperate enough as well, and decided to take the 5 meo dmt experience back in 2019. Like Neal said, im not entirely sure it didn't hurt me, but it definitely shook me up and felt like a sort of death and rebirth. Neal you are an inspiration.

Trip on DMT for 7 months, you're bound get the live-chicken-on-my-head haircut.

I have many issues with depression and a colorful past with it. When i watch shows like this it makes me feel like im not alone. I TRY DESPERTLY to connect with people around me. I work in video games but in my life people have come in and left as a constant. I struggle to have a friend connection despite my efforts. So in a large part hearing this conversation really hits the heart for me. Watching you guys and your close friendship with the guys makes me FEEL LESS ALONE. almost like im part of that group. I have no doubts others feel and respond exactly as i do which is very toxic in a way because we lack these groups of our own lives so here we are. This is why people seem to like the terms to be part of this army, or this group or this idea which this show sells and does well. Ironically watching Andrew and friends talk to comics here is so much more real then i see on other pod casts. Example is joe rogan.. i stopped watching joe cause it got less about knowledge to me and more about JOE and friends and preaching. You saw people you dont care about, dont learn, dont find funny and cant connect with. I mean this show has made me feel and understand why people get connections with youtube celebs. This really feels like its a group of friends having fun where i get learn and feel part of it. This show is truely about the moment and I really like that. Thanks for all you guys do. Happy thanks giving.

Thank you for entertaining me while I'm stuck at work on the holiday. 💜

I was lesser-dosing lsd and partying for multiple weeks straight last summer. Someone gave me a drink filled with something ekstra. Neal's explenation to what the experienced is (his way and dose is way great, and bigger) but the closest to my understanding iv heard someone explain it. I'm still recovering after 5-6 months. buuuut i think i had some latent memories i never processed which made me scitz out. Favorite memory from the experience. "Without darkness, no light, without light no dark. And so we dance and play music, for it is the ultimate balance between the two." This was after i had a hard time grasping Alpha and Omega states (at the time i didn't see nothing but swirls (mandelbrots), one light, one dark. TLDR: The dance of two ultimates is neverending. Learning self-controll is balance of both.

Haven't heard a more insane trip story ever. literally had to pause the episode. Neal is such a respectable dude. One of the best eps

Listening to this guy trying to explain his trip actually hurt my head.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of y’all and the flagrant army. I hope everybody gets their grub on and enjoys family and football

Dude great podcast Neal is the only person that's explained almost the same thing I saw on Dmt and his comedy is great also

Thanks for the timestamps it makes the podcast so much better!

Can we take a moment and appreciate how Flagrant drops epsiodes weekly and rarely misses a drop where as Brilliant Idiots is consistently late to even notify us that there won't be an episode?

Andrew pumping out the content, he’s spoiling us

Man I love Neal. Wish he still had his podcast.

I liked Neil saying his 5 meo dmt trip was like a computer doing a hard reset. All the computer knows and will ever know is codes its being fed, then it gets shut down and still is 'aware' and doesn't know how to compute 'nothingness'

I have been waiting.

His new special was amazing ! Quality work

Neal explains the most intense ego death plus god experience. gives me chills.

omfg neil is hilarious one of his best pod interviews. Love this episode

Happy Thanksgiving boys , perfect ep for the wake and bake 😂

Thanks for entertaining us solo bird day individuals!

Once again, Neal is the funniest person in the room. His humor is sneaky AF. There are always so many jokes the hosts never catch.

He carried that whole show on his back . amazing show

What a great Thanksgiving gift. I love Neal Brennan.

I'm here to hear Neal talk about his DMT meltdown for the 20th time!

Neal was always a good guy imo, glad he's feeling better about himself.

I love that when someone gives their opinion or view, even in a word or two, Andrew jumps to "what do you mean by that", great listener. So many people jump to their own opinions and conclusions/interpretations nowadays.

Gotta love astute political commentary from rich detached people

I think you’re on the spectrum Neal . “ you should meet my dinosaurs “😂😂😂😂

Just finished watching the special. Neal Brennan is a deep guy and hilarious

Neal might be the only one that tamed the whole crew down. Incredible episode and choice of guest guys

Literally got on KZfaq just hoping and wishing maybe they’ll drop! Best surprise ever thankful af for flagrant

Listening to their laughter makes me feel connected.

That derealisation/depersonalization that Neal was talking about sounds like an existentialism OCD cycle

I did Bufo but I did it after 10 years of psychotherapy and a few Ayahuasca ceremonies, so I came very ready. it was unbelievable. I could see how my thoughts are constructs, my own identity was gone so I just existed, I was part of everything, of the universe. it makes you see existence in a bigger scale then you are used to. I wouldn't reccomend doing this without going to therapy for a while, and doing Ayahuasca first.

If I was asked to picture a male Biden voter with money it would prob be Neil.

Neal’s so comfortable in his awkwardness he made the worst dap of all time look smooth 😂

when youtube runs ads while neal is talking about the birth and death of the universe 😂

Tuning out for this one again. This guy is completely detached and you guys seem to be going further left.

We gotta normalize not giving an introduction after saying “they need no introduction”

I love Neal I’ll watch anything he’s on just because I enjoy his presence and sense of humor so much. Wish akaash was here tho.. why does he miss all of the best guests??

Neal was having HPPD with the psychedelics. This is why people with mental health issues that were medicated should be very safe with these. He was self prescribing himself this drug that doesn't have enough research to even make a good guess to being safe. It is a great example of how psychedelics can backfire in a brutal way. Stay safe everyone and understand the risk of taking something can rapidly produce neurological change.

Happy thanksgiving everyone! I hope everyone has an incredible day🙏🏻 eat good and party hard

This makes working on Thanksgiving a Happy Thanksgiving. The world needs more Neal

“What am I, what are you, what is anything”. Then KZfaq cuts to commercial selling furniture.

Man. The "emotionally desperate". That hits. Wish they had more time to talk about the really interesting psychedelic and cultural stuff.

Love Neal Brennan. If I were co-creator and head writer alongside Dave Chappelle for Chappelle's Show I would not stop the flex.

"How calm everything is with Biden" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 His administration is flirting with the end of the world (WW3)

this happened to me but it was just a mixture of psychosis, an eating disorder, depression, existential crisis that only lasted for a few months and like him, my 2700 ug dose of acid hit me again a little bit after the trip finished like a month or two later. The thought of infinity and anything that would even tease the orientation of how big infinity actually is would make me feel terrible and hearing about someone elses trip almost broke me one time. I was even watching a show on the "afterlife" to desensitize myself and had a panic attack the whole time.

50:54 “🗣️🗣️🗣️ Airrrr Ballllll!!!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I always thought Neal was funny but his hair cut is hilarious 😂

Schulz is 100% right about the screen shotting on Netflix. All of the content is available for piracy the day it releases anyway, allow people who use your platform to meme and share the content.

So hilarious as an old school psychedelic warrior to hear people learn about god and the world now. It’s like are y’all really just now learning this stuff?

I experienced this after an acid trip that showed me the end, for 18 months i felt no hapiness or joy from anything and was overcome by an emptiness and despair i can't begin to explain.

Neal knows how to handle these cackling jackals.

This episode feels so much better to listen to. It's probably because Akash is not there.

"Oh God why?" and "a dios MiO" were so beautifully timed

I'm 26, used to love psychedelics in my very early 20s and that happened to me after a night on LSD and 2cb, I got flashbacks from my trip everyday for months and I eventually came to realise those where not flashbacks but instead just a fear response from my brain cuz I could not fully comprehend what I just got aware of.... it's been a year and a half now, beside the fact I lost my dad 4 months after this experience (I don't know how I did not kill myself) I feel more relieved than ever now, even tho it is hard to take, it slowly is getting along with my mind. Lesson is : sometimes you just have to let go and don't try to stay the same cuz everything is constant change, even your perception....keep your values and move on, nothing stays

Neal Brennan: "Voting for Biden is voting for normalcy." Pandemic and a recession. Glad Neal is doing so well he isn't affected by anything.

Appreciate the post!! Happy thanksgiving brothers ❤️

im a big neal fan! flew to NYC to see Blocks show in person, beautiful! loved this ep.

the ending bit of this podcast was amazing

I am thankful I get to listen to a new drop while I prep my prime rib, happy Thanksgiving boys👌👌👌

I watched this instead of the Thanksgiving parade. Priorities.

Y'all don't miss - thank you for posting on a holiday

This was Neal's best podcast appearance. He was absolutely hilarious. This is how guests should be. Just funny and quick and just fun to listen to. Not plugging their whatever every second. Not FOR THE MOST PART retelling stories they have already told (besides his dmt experience) . Neal is a very interesting guy like he just seems like he would not be able to take jokes so well and fire back so good. His special on Netflix was really good. It was really different which I thought was interesting to watch plus it was pretty funny. I would say definitely check it out if you have not seen it. I am gonna put it on later after eating Thanksgiving when my family is here to get their opinion on it.

Don’t try to shame Neal for being curious. He’s still reintegrating after his experience ❤

Loving the podcast!

No man, 14:43 the “Plants” promo was a great joke they didn’t wanna laugh at lmao I’m dyin

Neal is funny as shit...loved this episode

Appreciate y'alls dedication 🙏

Andrew talking about “stories” like he’s about to finally switch to the Chappelle formative. 😅

"We don't have any clue what's happening." If you've had doses like that, you can't really disagree... "What are you? What am I? What is anything?" I had the experience of asking these exact questions in that exact sequence.

Does everyone else usually fast forward through the betting segment/promotion 🤔

Thank you so much for this I love Neal! What a special treat!

I think Brennan is mistaken, religion isn't the missing piece but having access to an IRL community in which its framework is built upon compassion, empathy, acceptance, and service towards others. We are more connected digitally than we've ever been but at the same point more physically disconnected than we've ever been. We're bombarded with so much information, messaging, and data daily due to the ubiquity of internet and obsessive compulsion to be glued to our devices. Most people don't know how to live in the present, in the moment but instead we are either haunted by our past (dwelling on things) or concerned, apprehensive, nervous, and unsure about the future (anxiety). Build a network, a positive and loving community where you live/work. You can find kinship and camaraderie with others that people in the past maybe would have found during the practice of religion. Connectiveness with others can not be achieved adequately through a screen.

Mark is so sharp. Have to love his presence there.

I saw the thumbnain and title and was like.....yesssir the night is set💯🔥

Neal's experience on DMT is so similar to an experience I had on LSD. It was life changing and traumatizing, but It changed me for the better. I don't think I'd ever do it again tho. Even the part about laughing gas at the dentist hit home. I've talked to so many people who couldn't relate. If took me about 6 months for the "flash backs" to subside.

Love when y'all have comedians on!

The observations they made about the way Kevin Hart’s specials are filmed is spot on.. Kevin’s specials are honestly painful to watch these days because it’s pretty clear is focus is on acting, but Neal and Andrew are absolutely on point about the way he’s got the camera changes and all of the zoom ins and close ups all perfectly dialed in and it engages the shit out of the audience. It’s kind of a weird comparison, but large scale churches have been doing this exact thing for decades. They’ll pack a service full of thousands of people, and then use all these different camera angles and well timed zoom ins and all that stuff to make it feel like every person in there is on stage with the pastor. I’m not religious, but my Mom goes to one of those super churches where they have 50 foot screens, and this shit always creeped me out lol.

Schultz absolutely nailed it at the end. Some things are better left undiscovered and some of our greatest art comes from those who see these truths by default and can only deal by finding ways to communicate to the world.

First 5 mins is insane 😂😂😂

What Neal is describing is #ego #dissolution (ego death). Some call it spiritual awakening, enlightenment, etc... the point is all the identities one identifies their "self (ego)" with suddenly are removed and revealed to be illusions. Having nothing for your ego to grab onto to indentify itself is what makes these experiences uncomfortable. It's like being thrown into a pool when you don't know how to swim and then trying to breath under water. The ego centric rules we require to function (i.e name, race, sex) and be a part of the societies we created suddenly stop meaning anything & true #objectively is forced on your consciousness by the stripping away of all your #subjective ego centered identities. That's why people on ayahuasca find themselves asking "what/who am l?".

Thanks for the episode! Love Neal ❤️

nice thumbnail change...you know who butters dat bread lol.

Neal’s haircut feels like a mild midlife crisis
