Neal: english is not your first language
Ronny: english IS my first language
Neal: 😬
I feel like Neal is really hitting his stride and has found a spectacular niche that is made for him. He's done a lot of great stuff before but this is kinda like when you find a unique outfit in the thrift store, try it on, and it seams (pun intended) as though it was sewn, designed and tailored for you alone. Love, love love this podcast! Keep up the great work! PS Your face is perfect, don't change a thing!☺
Agree!!!!
Absolutely. Check out the Honey Dew if you like this lane of podcast.
Definitely. He found a great way to relate through his own internal perspectives, making it authentic and thus good content.
Agreed
“Do you ever feel like…”
“No.” 😂
I love Ronny Chieng. His standup is amazing and next level awesome. His anger is so soothing.
Imagine if he was a therapist.
@@Photik lol.
I do find his anger oddly soothing...so it might work...
worked as a PA on a show Ronny is starring ina nd EPin which is basically Ted Lasso for the Brooklyn Nets. Super nice to everyone and stayed after to take pictures with the child actors and their parents.
This is quickly becoming my favorite podcast. Neal is a wonderful interviewer.
Ronny is one of the funniest comedians out there. He can be serious but funny. Feel like most are trying to be serious but unfunny.
I could not agree more about birthdays and gifts. 100% 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✌🏻
I watch Ronnie's Specials at least once a month. Sort of a comfort watch for me. So happy to see him in this context.
Which ones would you recommend?
@@Photik He has two on Netflix, but Asian Comedian Destroys America is my favorite
Huge fan of Ronny Chieng! Excited to see him on the show. Great job with this podcast, Neal! It's fast becoming one of my favorites.
dude the holidays/birthdays/gifts thing spoke to me on a core level . im not crazy
This man is used to talking to a camera and is looking into my soul.
54 minutes flew by and I thought we were still in the first 15. This is great.
God damn I can not get enough of this podcast. Wasn't familiar with Ronny before but I can't wait to check out his work!
his first netflix special is incredible
He is HILARIOUS
His Netflix special and his work on the Daily Show is 🔥🔥🔥
Loving this podcast. Helping me believe I might actually be human.
It's crazy it took so long for Neal to have his own podcast. It's easily my favorite since it started.
The Umbrella talk had me throw mine away
I love the outro music that plays at the end!
Another awesome interview by Neal ❤ And Ronny is such a great comedian. A true talent.
Damn. I didn't know about Ronny's dad. Condolences
Pre ayahuasca Neal and post ayahuasca are so apparent! So glad you made it!!!! Love Ronnie❤!
Podcast is great, love the guests. But for the love of the indifferent all-knowing being, can I please get a download of the song that plays at the end?
I so love Ronny Chieng as a comedian and after watching this interview i just love him as a person. So down to Earth, so grounded. I love the fact that hes concerned about the environment and his love for his wife❤❤❤❤❤
Just wanted to say, I saw 3 Mics when it came out and was absolutely blown away. Just took a recommendation from a friend. I felt seen. Hadn't heard of you before, but have followed your stuff since then. Blocks is making me feel less abnormal every episode. Love you Neal.
29:25 Neal, finish Fleabag. Season 2 is arguably one of the best left turns a TV show has done while maintaining everything that made the first season hilarious and insightful. Its all blocks, their interplay, and how they are handled - sometimes well, sometimes not. Distinctly human, and among the funniest scripted television ever written. And Phoebe would be perfect for this show
Yes to all of this!!
I’ve never felt so heard by a podcast episode before. From tone to umbrellas and everything in between, you guys are my new spirit animals. And this is already having a great appreciation for both of your bodies of work. Peace and love
Amen. Always been on Team Fuck the Umbrellas.
I absolutely love this podcast, I just wish there were more already.
Umbrella: one hand free
Rain hat: two hands free
I love Ronny Chiang!! It’s so exciting to see Chinese Malaysian person on tv. My mom is Chinese Malaysian and it is so great to see Malaysia and Southeast Asia coming into the forefront these days✌🏼💓🌈🔥
The deep dive into umbrellas was classic! Didn't know we needed this...
Love your podcast Neal!
yes, so glad Ronnie Chieng getting more exposure, hes hilarious
The showering everytime, yesss.
Great interview and so impressed with Ronnie!
the feces bit was hilarious 😂
It was nice to see Ronnie genuinely laugh. A lot of his acts he can suppress it haha
“Rain! Do it!” 😂
Same. Sometimes the trailer is enough. I love spoilers so I watch a 20 minute review of a thing on RUclips instead of actually watching it. Then if I do watch it one day I can just chill and enjoy it because I know where it's going (anxiety/control thing).
Neal's reactions to some of Ronny's answers were great.
I'm from Chicago and have been living in Malaysia/Singapore the past 6 years. Really enjoyed this episode. Taking a shower after a dump becuase it is efficient is very Singapore.
This is only the 8th episode!? Feels like Neal has been running this podcast for years. Bobby Lee brought me here, and I love it. Just subscribed 👍🏽
Outstanding guys! Keep up the good work
I get so excited for Friday drops from Blocks XO
Thanks again !!!
Love your stuff Ronnie 😊
Guess I'm lucky, it's still Thurs where I live. But YES! My fav pod rn. I described it to a friend, "You're not alone & that can also be hilarious"
I love this interaction SO MUCH! ❤ 😍 🥰
Ronny is hilarious.
Sat through this with ease. Ronnie is go to for funny.
The story of the trip for his father & sitting to sort with family is personal & would put me in a seat if Ronnie wanted to do it.
Dude is already a star but still somehow bubbling.
Great show as usual Neal.
Ronny Chieng aka Ronnie Chang
I would have loved for the thumbnail to be Neal and Ronny sharing an umbrella. ☂️
Great news about the no AIDs! What a relief! Love the podcast, there's something inherently honest about Neal and people seem to instantly open up.
I live in Oregon, and it rains all the time. I have bought an umbrella almost every year and I almost never use it so I get rid of it. I feel convicted of my bad umbrella habit.
Even when I lived in Seattle, I never had an umbrella. Umbrella is just a song to me.
I live in Portland and I loooove umbrellas, especially after New Seasons gave me a free one which was the best umbrella I’ve ever used, large and very sturdy.
Ronny is my long lost brother I too MUST shower after using the restroom!
They really missed an oppurtunity to ask what he does if he poops away from home.
I hate umbrellas too. 😂
Feel so connected to Ronny Chieng!🤟🏼🤟🏼
Oh thank fuck christ for normalizing not watching GoT, White Lotus or Lost for that matter. Thank you, Neal Brennan, for these blocks. This shit helps. I've traveled, but I greatly appreciate global voices: thank you, Ronny Chieng, for your voice.
Sincerely Neal, this shame shame brings another whole aspect of humanity to the realm of comedy and its high performers. Thank you and keep of the great work, btw big fan.
Totally normal for people to be nicer to strangers than to their loved ones. Love isn't always about being nice! You offer strangers the truths that make them have a good lasting impression of you. You offer truths to loved ones and aid them to be their best self as a part of your future.
I didn’t realize I hate umbrellas until this episode. I also hate small talk. (But, then again, I’m just learning I’m for sure autistic) 😅
2 brilliant men
Great episode
Ronnie is amazing.
These two guys rock!
Fantastic conversation! Just discovered you Neal and you have a very atypical comedy talent. Its refreshing and mostly you have a great ability to surf between being serious and making a joke. Ronny is witty and has short but incisive answers with a similar serious but funny comedic style.
Great new pod!!!! If you love bad friends flagrant 2 this one you can add to your favorites! Thanks Neil
Add Theo Von's podcast to that list!
Best new podcast. 👌
Thank you, I feel that way also.
Love Ronnie. So clear.
Hi Neal. Since you indicated in this episode that you read the comments, I’d love to request a guest. To me Bill Maher would be the white whale of this show’s subject matter. That dude has such a fear of showing an ounce of weakness or vulnerability, and it would be fascinating to hear him reveal that side of himself, and the safety of this format might allow him to show that side of his personality. By the way, this is my new favorite podcast. every episode rules. Thanks for making it.
He's bought. If anything, Neal ain't about the fake shit. Bill just isn't interesting or just very close minded, and not funny imo. I use to be a fan but I'm too into politics to care about him now, I guess.
gross.. Nobody wants to hear from a comedian who dishes it out but cant take it. I’d rather him have Kyle Dunnigan on doing his Maher impression which is god tier.
look up “maher responds to kyle dunnigans impression on joe rogan” that will tell you everything you need to know about the guy
@@poindextertunes facts
Interesting idea. I was for some reason just thinking that I’d love Lisa Kudrow was on here, even though she’s not an active comic. Just a random idea
Wow, I’ve never heard of Ronny, but I absolutely love him.
Thank you, I feel that way also
Best RUclips show.
Adore Ronny.
Ronny Cheng is da man! Enjoyed the podcast!
Walking around like Mr Peanut! Great throwaway. Made me laugh.
Thank god you guys are keeping Wikipedia alive, ‘cause I don’t.
This pod show is so good. That's all.
For the record, English is an official language in Singapore and many are native English speakers. Their accent is more of a flavor of their speech like Jamaican or American for that matter, rather than being indicative of speaking a different language.
I love Ronnie ❤️
YYYEEEEAAAAHHHH!
Ronny’s laugh kinda sounds like he’s faking it 🤣
If you loved season 1 of Fleabag, you will LOVE Fleabag 2. It is a perfect season. Perfect!!
An easy way to wash your lower body and entire back is to buy a loofah on a stick/or anything like it. Add bodywash, lather and easily reach all areas. With your back facing the shower head, put your left foot on the tub floor and your right rests on the side of the tub railing straight ahead of you for stability. With your right hand you have the loofah you lather yourself, while your left arm is leaning against the wall, once you're done, turn around, do the other side and you're done. Alternatively if you really don't want to do it, but don't want to end up with toe fungus and sore feet get a pedicure and a foot massage like once a month or so to at least maintain your feet.
I fucking LOVE our aussie export, Ronnie!
Ronnie is 💯👍🏼⭐
I love this podcast! It takes you through emotional stuff and then ending it about pooping and hygiene! Lol!
Read that as emotional pooping 😂😂
Chiengs netflix special is fire
Ronny, trevor and jordan klepper absolutely killed it on the daily show
dont be forgetting roy wood jr lol
bro... the line up was in the paper... memory unlocked... i used to highlite the news paper on shows i wanted to watch. kinda old now ey
Thank you
I have never felt more seen than this gifts rant at 20:00 . Will be sending this to all family members before the holidays from now on. Don't choke a dolphin, just give money- or nothing!
Hell yeah Ronny!
Amen on someone mentioning “more garbage for the earth”. I’m so sick of the pointless nicknacks that people give me or give out.
These podcasts are amazing. But definitely wash your toes Neal.
I like the detail of the Umbrella segment. I feel like there should be more umbrella discussions. Team Raincoat.
Just met Ronny Chieng at a little party in LA - probably the coolest looking dude there!
Great episode, and fantastic podcast! Sorry about the AIDS.
In response to your intro- I was appalled by some of the comments last time, so unnecessary. This show is so good, I really enjoy your stand up and interviews. I love Ronny Chieng too. Im a new watcher but loving it. Thanks.
The "Cancel Me" joke was funny lol.
Thank you. I feel that way also...
about your face.
I fuckin love Neal... He's one of the main reasons I am now on Ketamine... that and I was seeking medical death and they finally said here try this... and I feel better than I have in my whole life... also that spit take at the end... great way to end a podcast... Ronny is great too...
I guess the only question is when is this show gonna get picked up by a network and how much money are you willing to turn down for the sake of keeping the show as authentic as it currently is?
thank you so much for having these real conversations with comics. I am deaf so of course my only request is that you find some kind of way to have the content captioned so I don't have to do mental gymnastics to reverse engineer the typos made by automated captions. love the concept of the show, just wish it was more accessible!
Yeah love Ronnie for a long time. Umbrellas ... my rant. Hate them. Great ep as uje.
The outro music is per-fect
