What a interesting / vulnerable side of Tom you don't normally see, compared to a pure comedic interview. Great job Neal!

Thank you Neal for giving a platform to the Japanese-American standup community

It's so nice actually getting a chance to hear Tom talk for real.

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.

A podcast where each person can let each other talk, and actually listen to what they have to say. Refreshing

Neal killing it with great conversations. one of the Best conversations i've heard Tom have.

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

I am thoroughly enjoying this and also love that Tommy hasn't corrected Neal once for calling Jean "Christine" 😂

Every episode I'm wondering why Neal hasn't been hosting interview shows for years now. Such a great show every time

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.

Tom Segura is having his moment and I'm glad for him. Thanks Neal Brennan for filming these interviews.

"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!!"

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.

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.

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.

Occam's razor: "when a problem seems to complicated to find a solution, generally, the simplest explanation is the correct one"

This was amazing. There’s not a podcast with Tom that I haven’t loved. But this is a special one he got deep

Only Tom Segura can be both blown away by his own success yet very skeptical of 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 .

i had an emotional breakthrough while listening to this podcast - i won't bore with the details. thank you

Awesome to see Tom just take a breath and talk with a good friend. I like him even more now.

This has become one of my favorite podcasts by far. Keep it up.

Neil, this is quickly becoming my favorite podcast. Keep it up and keep it vulnerable.

This show is hilariously and very well produced. With all the clips and pop up pictures. Great job!

There's something calming about Tom Segura. He never gets old. So happy for his successes in life!

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.

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.

For once its nice to have tom not always doing a bit. This is what I've wanted for ages, thank you Neal.

Great episode! So refreshing to see this side of Tom. Love that Neal keeps calling Tom's wife Christine 😂

We get to hear Tom talk during a podcast this week!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

LOVE the section at 1:23:00 about a person's needs being natural and nothing you need to deny... and how that's so much vastly healthier for everyone

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

100% here for this. I’m really digging Neal’s pod:)

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!

Oh god they just keep getting better😮 Everyone needs to see this.

I loved this one - Tom is so open and vulnerable. Loved this convo!

Gained a bunch of weight since a break up last year. This eating / weight discussion is something I need to listen to a few times.

I just kept cracking up every time Neal kept calling Christina "Christine"! It was like listening to Joey Diaz lol

Segura is a smart dude. Not everyone has that self awareness

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.

🤯🤯❤️🤯 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!!

Really like Segura’s standup, but ❤listening to his long form interviews.

This is by far the most honest, open and vulnerable conversation with Tommy anywhere. Loved this.

Whoever edited this podcast: "eat your heart out Rick Glassman."

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.

That “I love you” at the end from Tom 😂 just like at the drive thru speaker at Starbucks

This conversation was legit eye opening. Thank you ❤. Much love from NY ✌🏻

the yin and yang of two bears is unreal. Tom is so emotionally intelligent. And extremely likeable, Bert needs to go to rehab and be a good father.

This was a refreshing way to see Tom

It's nice to see tom open up and be real

Neal and Tom.... I think it's illegal not to watch this one.

the buying into your own narrative is SO spot on 🙌

I loved this episode. So personal but so universal. I listen every one of them and it is the best so far. Good questions and thoughtful answers.

I identify with what Tom said about not being happy that the battle with my weight/image is part of who I am, my history.

I so relate to Tom's weight journey and outlook. Thanks for sharing

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.

There are so many "Christine"s in this episode. Amaze.

“Almost dying changes nothing. Dying changes everything.” - Dr. Gregory House

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.

Tom is so honest and articulate

The fact that he knows where the best croissants are confirms that he still has a fat guy heart ♥️

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 🇺🇸

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.

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.

These episodes are all great. Thanks Neal (and Jimmy for giving you the idea)

I love actually knowing Tom like a real person and not just a celebrity ❤️

The graphic overlays are great, and really enhance the podcast and make it stand out, keep it up

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 ❤️

Neal: "Forgive the black voice" Tom: "you know what it is" 😂😂😂

Absolutely incredible episode

Thank you Neal for putting light on a true american hero such as Tom himself

Super stoked for this one!

Neal has to be one of my favorite people. I love comedy and some of my favorite comedians don't include Neal but he's still behind some of my favorite comedy ever, show, movie, etc. Also, he worked with Dave Chappelle. Come on. Legend. Both of them. And then there's his awareness and openness which I rarely find in people. I myself consider myself to be very open mentally. I try to keep an open mind but I'm aware of my life long issues with anger and depression alongside anxiety. It changes how I am with people. I will forever have anxiety 24/7 but as someone who never took meds for it, as it didn't exist when I was a kid (anxiety didn't exist I mean lol. Nobody really knew anyway). And anxiety is a normal feeling but I mean, I am constantly overthinking how I look to every single person or in public even if nobody is around. I'm always looking everywhere as I grew up seeing people get robbed, pickpocketed, confronted and beat up, everything. So I stay on my toes. Anyone can come out with a knife and rob me. So I gotta stay awake. It just comes from my childhood, like everything else. I found out some shit that blew my mind, after my mom died in 2021 due to cancer. I found out my shitty dad never was around even when we left Colombia to enter the US illegally. So me and my mom were smuggled into the US by boat. We had to jump off quickly and pretend to look like people at the beach. Well, my mom had to. I was maybe 1 year old. The idea of loosing all your luggage and starting from 0 while cops are making sure people don't get smuggled into the US. In that moment I know my mom was panicking like crazy. I knew her. She had severed anxiety which is passed on. But my upbringing made it worse. My brother turned out fine. But I'm here with ADHD, social anxiety, and severe depression for 10 years (now doing better without meds and just weed). All my life is my mom anxious as fuck pushing me to go out, do things, never stand still, never be lazy. It was annoying growing up. I felt like she didn't care. But she did. And I grew so close to her. She was my mom always, but she became a close friend later in life. I miss her every single day. Any time I remember her, it's bitter sweet. Great funny memories but also sad she's not here, died at 62, was my only parent, did everything to be super healthy all her life and she died from cancer. I was there until her literal final breath as she was sleeping/sedated. Fuck.... I'm gonna go smoke. Today hasn't been it. I fucking miss her too much. Why did I even rant here. Nobody will read this. I do this a lot. I put my thoughts into comments that I never return to. If you're reading this, thank you for taking the time to read a comment by someone who doesn't make sense half the time. Anyways, much love and respect to everyone. Please do good in this life. It trickles down to others and we all make the world better. Honestly. Peace

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.

Quite possibly the best episode so far

Of the entire gang of comidian friends in his group, Joe Rogan included, Tom is the funny of all of them. I am so happy for his success.

Love this talk with Tom. Terribly relatable

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.

This one hit home, thank you

Seeing these incredible people when they're not "on" is fascinating and wonderful.

I think this has been the best episode yet. I hit home for me on so many levels.

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 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.

Surprised at the chemistry. Particularly good conversation

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 😅

Such a great conversation - more please .. 😊

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!!

Neal is 100% the perfect person to interview Tommy Buns in this manner and I also love how Tom doesn't correct him when he calls Christina Christine 😂😂😂😂😂😂

It feels like I just paid 200 bucks for a therapy session.

Best episode yet. Neal is getting better at this all the time. Great stuff.

OH MY GOD!! I just discovered this podcast and i absolutely love it!!❤❤ love these types of talks.

I would have never expected this and was in awe the entire episode as to what I was hearing. It was great and I will very likely come listen again.

This one is so good!

I have so much respect for Tom and this interview just confirms it.

Brilliant discussion. Helped me look toward my own alcoholism.
