What a interesting / vulnerable side of Tom you don't normally see, compared to a pure comedic interview. Great job Neal!
The HoneyDew is another good one to see comedians vulnerable sides. Tom was on there but I can't remember how vulnerable he was. Still a good watch
Tommy has levels to him
@@Tijs2331 It wasn't quite this open, and Neal is a lot less annoying than Ryan.
Well said
@@joalco3he's like a Onion
It's so nice actually getting a chance to hear Tom talk for real.
Thank you Neal for giving a platform to the Japanese-American standup community

SEGURA!
A podcast where each person can let each other talk, and actually listen to what they have to say. Refreshing
You mean, this is not Two Bears I’m watching?
I am thoroughly enjoying this and also love that Tommy hasn't corrected Neal once for calling Jean "Christine" 😂
lmao I just commented something similar! I can't tell if Neal is just doing the wrong name bit or he's pulling a Joey Diaz
who’s Jean?
@@rudyregehr6231Mommy Tina! 😅
Her name is Roseanne’s ghost writer, “ mY PrOUnoUnS aRE nOt/ FUnNY”
He finally got it right the last attempt! :D I was thinking about it all throughout.
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.
I had been winding down my attention I'd been giving him and ymh because the pretentious was just starting to grate on me.. This is seemingly no facade, which i appreciate. Burt has been acting more tolerable lately too... and Bobby Lee... Huh... they are all grounding at the same time or something
try telling reddit 🤣
@MeanMrMustard-aka-DaDijonDon Bert? More tolerable? Couldn't disagree more. Tho his movie bombing humbled/slowed him a tad.
still that football player and woodpecker slayer
@@MrMice... as recently proven with his interview of Rob Lowe. “Glad you transitioned to money stuff.. how much money do you 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
Sounds like you've made up your mind to be better. Good on you man, I wish you great success in your journey!
@@DelightfulDissident I really appreciate that. Thanks dude!
Facts! Exactly what I was feeling too, listening to this discussion. It resonated heavily bc of Tom's openness about his troubles...He really drops so many truth bombs in this interview and it's fantastic to hear. I'm glad for you getting back in a better place in your own journey! Congrats! Keep going!
@@sevendaysin8374 Thanks man. I appreciate the support. Definitely the most relatable episode for me
I've struggled with this for a long time as well and I felt the exact same way while watching this! So much so that I immediately clipped it and sent it to my therapist for us to discuss next week, haha. Super happy to hear you're on track right now brother! Keep it up. You're not alone!
Neal killing it with great conversations. one of the Best conversations i've heard Tom have.
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.
Every episode I'm wondering why Neal hasn't been hosting interview shows for years now. Such a great show every time
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.
Difference between someone who goes to therapy regularly and not. Tom knows whats up.
@tonybruce Sam Morril goes to therapy, but he was disappointing. He seemed like he was holding back a lot.
Hell yeah! Tommy Bunns is dialed in these days.
Couldn't agree more. Tom brought it, and it produced an amazing episode. The comics who show up and disrespect the format are reliably producing really surface level discussions.
@@cablethelarryguy sam is extremely repressed, tho. he's always aloof af.
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.
Hell yeah dude I feel this
21 century man: self awareness and laughs at fart jokes 👍🏻
BIKES
it hits ... seeing this side of him is pretty powerful
I can relate to having an emotionally manipulative parent whos great at sharpening that ice pick, driving it in your weak spot of a kidney, then occasionally being June Cleaver! It makes you not trust people, & you can’t cut off your toxic parent, but FUCK when they turn it on you want to shake them. You’ll never get them to realize what it does to you, how much time it wastes on this earth when you realize how short our time on earth, is
Tom Segura is having his moment and I'm glad for him. Thanks Neal Brennan for filming these interviews.
Tom’s moment has been the last 7 years….he’s just doing press for his new special
I guess you're new.
Occam's razor: "when a problem seems to complicated to find a solution, generally, the simplest explanation is the correct one"
"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!!"
Wouldn't even need a video. Could just include it in the video description. 🤨
It's funnier having him drag through it each time though lol.
Or pre-record one 🤷🏽
@@thepohCvNo, it’s not. It’s a tired bit. Other than that (and the bad “movie of your life” question at the end), it’s a great podcast.
@@AfternoonFocus apologies for being incorrect about enjoying that bit of the pod lol...at least I got the good podcast part right.
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.
Only Tom Segura can be both blown away by his own success yet very skeptical of it.
It’s common to have imposter syndrome at his level of success.
i had an emotional breakthrough while listening to this podcast - i won't bore with the details. thank you
Well now I'm having an emotional breakdown because you won't explain the breakthrough. So thanks for that.
This was amazing. There’s not a podcast with Tom that I haven’t loved. But this is a special one he got deep
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 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 .
We get to hear Tom talk during a podcast this week!
Two bears is Bart’s therapy session
Blard is insufferable and so taxing to listen to. #LetTomSpeak
Great episode! So refreshing to see this side of Tom. Love that Neal keeps calling Tom's wife Christine 😂
There's something calming about Tom Segura. He never gets old. So happy for his successes in life!
True. I binge ymh shows while working. It makes my day much better
@@thereflextesterat what job can you watch RUclips videos all day and where exactly do I apply?
@@RGK147 watch ? In the end its a Podcast, so i can "listen" to it. And you will be surprised people can listen to stuff while working. Or did You Ever Heard of a Thing called Radio ?
Awesome to see Tom just take a breath and talk with a good friend. I like him even more now.
Whoever edited this podcast: "eat your heart out Rick Glassman."
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!
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
This has become one of my favorite podcasts by far. Keep it up.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Neal: "Forgive the black voice"
Tom: "you know what it is"
😂😂😂
Oh god they just keep getting better😮
Everyone needs to see this.
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.
I feel that Bert is probably a great father, so giving and open, but also just constantly embarrassing. I guess it must be tough learning so early on that adults are still just figuring it out.
I just mean he chooses alcohol over being a father. Its not fun or cute to watch someone drink themselves to death@@nathanchildress5596
Really like Segura’s standup, but ❤listening to his long form interviews.
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.
This was a refreshing way to see Tom
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!
I loved this one - Tom is so open and vulnerable. Loved this convo!
I just kept cracking up every time Neal kept calling Christina "Christine"! It was like listening to Joey Diaz lol
100% here for this. I’m really digging Neal’s pod:)
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!!
Tom is so honest and articulate
For once its nice to have tom not always doing a bit. This is what I've wanted for ages, thank you Neal.
Agreed
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.
See "The Honeydew" appearances and the Ethan Suplee episode of "Tom Talks"
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.
I was thinking the same thing in that moment too. I'm a brit and my mom's side of the family are of Irish Catholic descent, so it's definitely not just south American mothers. 🙂👍🏻
@@tommarino69 Same here. I think it's a narcissist thing.
@@helpis0ntheway "a narcissist thing" There you go. My mom was Swedish-American.
My parents were both narcissists. My sister and I both learned to have a "narrow bandwidth" because if we were too up it would annoy/threaten our parents (e.g. they would be jealous) and if we were too down it would annoy/threaten our parents (e.g. that might bum them out). They were the ones who got to have feelings.
@@JosephScott-ct9sw These guys get it. My mom is English-German, you could probably find these mothers across every culture
🤯🤯❤️🤯 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!!
This is by far the most honest, open and vulnerable conversation with Tommy anywhere.
Loved this.
Neal and Tom.... I think it's illegal not to watch this one.
the buying into your own narrative is SO spot on 🙌
“Almost dying changes nothing. Dying changes everything.” - Dr. Gregory House
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.
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.
Segura is a smart dude. Not everyone has that self awareness
*Yeah, most people are completely clueless & just blame each other.*
You must be joking? Have you seen how he talks about working people?The man has a deficit of awareness. He has never needed it he was fat as all hell and had everything handed to him from a very rich family. There was no grind, there wasn't any moment of doubt with daddies money a phone call away , dont be fooled and his last special bombed but look at streaming and cinema currently. Its all advisement.
@@Le_Petomane oh you’re one of those people who missed the sarcasm and took it seriously, huh?
@@RobRoane They are laughing at YOU bro, and not just because of your income. You love reboots and Marvel too, huh? Just keep consuming and disappear huh? One day you can have a home gym and nutritionist, daily trainer and wont be a gargantuan basement dweller. This is sarcasm, im just kidin'. Just buy more.
@@Le_Petomane cool story
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.
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 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The fact that he knows where the best croissants are confirms that he still has a fat guy heart ♥️
Smart philosophy. If I'm going to eat something special. It's going to be the best I can afford.
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.
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
It feels like I just paid 200 bucks for a therapy session.
This conversation was legit eye opening. Thank you ❤. Much love from NY ✌🏻
It's nice to see tom open up and be real
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.
see bobby lee
@@pablowalker8695😂 Oh yeah, forgot about that one.
I love actually knowing Tom like a real person and not just a celebrity ❤️
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.
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.
One of “The Poors” checking in here. Thanks for seeming relatable. Lol
Surprised at the chemistry. Particularly good conversation
That “I love you” at the end from Tom 😂 just like at the drive thru speaker at Starbucks
Thank you Neal for putting light on a true american hero such as Tom himself
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.
Quite possibly the best episode so far
Absolutely incredible episode
Loved all of this but my favorite part was when “Christine” was brought up. Shout out to that Mommy. 🤗
These episodes are all great. Thanks Neal (and Jimmy for giving you the idea)
i've literally watched every ep and i think this is top 2 for me. especially appreciated the loner and body image parts. its actually a relief that other ppl have similar thoughts
“Asking for needs to be met” yes
I think this has been the best episode yet. I hit home for me on so many levels.
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.
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.
Brilliant discussion. Helped me look toward my own alcoholism.
I read it as "forward" the first time lol.
Hope I'm not too late to the party, but I am digging these edits
“Rogan’s the stunt double for [you] Tom Segura “ so good
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.
Good god this was a good one! I need to go thorough and binge these episodes., rather than just catching episodes with my faves. Neil you are so interesting, you’re quickly becoming one of my faves too! ❤
One of the best podcast I think I’ve ever heard. It really made me take a hard look at myself.
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 ❤️
But do you revate to their relavations?
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.
OH MY GOD!! I just discovered this podcast and i absolutely love it!!❤❤ love these types of talks.
You can tell when the guest sends their blocks in. Thanks Tim
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!!
I rarely re-watch podcasts but I keep coming back to this one. Great show yall
There are so many "Christine"s in this episode. Amaze.
My favourite episode so far. I am addicted to Tom Segura, he's so eloquent and insightful.
Such a great conversation - more please .. 😊
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.
