I honestly think that Seth green just explained more about Neal than he was even looking for. It’s almost like Neal was perplexed by Seth’s understanding of life and Neal was trying to extrapolate his life into his words. Put it this way, in a alternative world, a young Neal and Seth would be great friends in high school.

@MTLV100 5 ай бұрын

Well, the show is called “blocks”… so he’s trying to get Seth share/ open up. Seems like Seth was trying to be too “I’ve figured it all out… no, issues here”

@nullunit 5 ай бұрын

I think that is actually part of Neal's motivation for the show. He is just trying to figure stuff out so he have some balance with a splash of contentment and happiness. I could be way but it seems like the show is much for him as teh guest or use the viewer.

@nullunit 5 ай бұрын

@@MTLV100I didn't get that vibe at all from him, he seemed to be very much in the camp of its a continuous project to make yourself better. He was just pointing out the things that he HAS figured out for himself based on Neal's questions with a few tangents which is 100% the ADHD kicking in and of course his admission of having a draw to being more performative because he has been doing that his whole life it is very much wrapped up in his identity.

With each Blocks Podcast, I realize I'm a comedian without a career. Maybe it's that 'put in the work' thing. Neal asking questions the elicit completive and insightful answers make the show. He wants to know, the guest is willing to answer. It has been suggested before that Blocks is therapeutic and I concur. That's all I have to say about that.

Let me take you back to 1990 when I was 20 years old. The Berlin Wall had just fallen the year before. I was just out of college and out of the 80s. Stevie Ray Vaughn died this year 😥However, we had Sonic Youth's Goo, Concrete Blonde - Bloodletting and Sinéad O'Connor - I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got dominated radio, Faith No More's Epic, Jane's Addiction (Lollapalooza would kick off the following year), Alice in Chains Facelieft and one of my all time favorite bands Soundgarden (Loud Love released in 1989 though) were really startin' to happen'. The music landscape for Gen X was-a-changin' In movies, Pretty Woman and Flatliners (enter Julia Roberts), Days of Thunder (Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman gettin' together), Ghost, Total Recall, The Adventures of Ford Fairlane (Andrew Dice Clay does Hollywood) Last Exit to Brooklyn, Wild at Heart, Goodfellas [TOMMY (to Henry): I’m funny how, I mean funny like I’m a clown? I amuse you?] and Pump Up The Volume (with a very young Seth Green in the cast). Pre-internet, cassette 4-track recording, no social media, and a seemingly, simpler and more peaceful time.

I am very glad I went there, and will carry the experience with me forever, but i also know that I have not the slightest desire or need ever to return to that place. The ten minutes I spent there were more than enough.
