Agreed, it was a very sweet interview, like Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman...setting a new and better paradigm for male interaction. Jerry get a few compliments in too which show how highly he regards Neal...very nice to see.
The fact that this is the best interview of Jerry Seinfeld ever done, and he's sitting in Andrew "Seinfeld and his show are wildly overrated" Schultz' studio, and he's not even the one interviewing him is the best part of the interview. 🤣
Jerry Seinfeld is 70 and Johnny Carson was 66 when he retired. Sure, Carson went grey in his late 30s, had five awful marriages, and drank a lot, but Jerry looks amazing at 70..
about a year ago, I was visiting my daughter and her family in Durham, NC. We went out for brunch to a restaurant called Guglhupf (great place, btw!). Jerry and his family were at the next table. As they were leaving the restaurant, he and his youngest son were walking out together, sharing a smile and a laugh. That comment in the interview about "that might have been the best moment of my life" was the expression on his face, his arm draped around his son's shoulder. It was a lovely moment to see!
I disagree. I've worked very lucrative jobs that weren't fulfilling. The large stack of money I used to buy a house and pay for vacations was very fulfilling.

@@d3maccus Totally possible that it's there and I just didn't see it. I don't remember what I was doing when I watched this, but I might have spent a lot of time doing other things.
I like how Neal asks good questions and is fine handling the no’s and not really’s. This made for a great interview and gave us lots more of Jerry. This was great.
It really showed what great boundaries Jerry has. He doesn't fly with approximations. And I admired Neals persistence to try to understand precisely what Jerry wanted to convey. Two very respectful, funny guys.
Jerry is always happy to talk to his comedian friends, and is always nice to listen to in that context. Jerry just seems to absolutely despise talking to anyone else , he comes off so cantankerous when talking to anyone other than his comic buddies.
As a HUGE Seinfeld fan for my entire adult life (I'm only a few years younger than Jerry), I can unequivocally say this is the best Seinfeld interview I have every seen (and I've seen them all). Only another comedian could eek out of him the true essence of this man and what does / does not make him tick. Never heard of Neal Brennan before but I'm downloading his specials as I write this.
@orangeenergymedia He’s Dave’s Chappel’s co-writter from Dave’s Chappel’s…”Chappel Show says. If you see him do his stand up it’s very similar to DC of that era.
I didn't enjoy Unfrosted, but that doesn't matter. I will never stop enjoying Jerry Seinfeld, the comedian, the family man, and the human being. Keep going, Jerry. We love you.
I've watched it as a fan but I'm not from USA and into the loving of product mindset, for me the movie it's a parody of your culture of worship and hype for brands. Also the movie has a quite fast pace, maybe too fast to reflect on the many sarcastic jokes so I'll watch it again sometime. Probably again and again :)

This is the best interview of Seinfeld EVER, and if it were maybe an hour longer, it would be unquestionably one of the definitive interviews of our lifetime (and still might be). Something about this chemistry was magical.
Neal, this is the first interview, sit down, conversation I've heard with Jerry, including all of Comedians in Cars, where I've walked away liking Jerry. Fabulous job
He’s kind of gotten away from the disaffected “guy who’s got it all” attitude. Shows maturity I think; he understands how special the whole thing was, and it wasn’t just him. That’s never come across before - he always came away as a soft touch egomaniac
This. Women just cannot understand how doing nothing is so enjoyable for us. I can put something on the grill, make a fire, turn on the radio, and sit there for literally hours and not get bored.
@@aaabbbccc985 I don't this is a gender thing. It might be, statistically or stereotypically, I don't know, but me and my significant other are definitely the other way around.
The term garbage time is supposed to be ironic. It’s saying garbage bc it seems like boring and lost time but they both mean garbage time as it’s happens seems like empty space….but when in fact it’s the opposite. You have to listen to this interview with all you sense to get what they really mean. You can’t just listen and keep moving. If you see how things are said you can tell what they both really mean.
@@miggy78 Absolutely, it's best understood when compared to 'quality time' - meaning a time you schedule something to do with someone, garbage time being time you just 'be' with someone without anything planned. It makes me think of sitting with my parents watching normal TV, finding whatever was on, and just talking. It felt like we were doing nothing, but it was something.
Exactly, and we are all guilty of playing a podcast and work on something else like at the gym or something. Now I try to listen more intently bc it’s little things like that, that get misunderstood proof that AI will never get the human experience that lies in subtext.
Def best Seinfeld interview. You can really get a feeling for what he's all about. Almost no ego about his work and talent, despite previous conceptions. This is inspiring ❤
WOW… I’ve easy seen 100+ Seinfeld interviews and it was bar-none the most in-depth and fascinating discussion with the GOAT ever! Learned many new things about Seinfeld I never knew before. BRAVO!
This was a triumph for Neal. Marc Maron tried to go down this road with Jerry and he crashed and burned. I like Marc but I think Jerry puts interviewers through their paces.
His demeanor as an interviewer is great, but I didn't hear any particularly intriguing questions here...these were mostly questions I've heard Jerry answer in 50 other interviews. Still a good listen, but nothing like WOW
Jerry is at that stage where he just oozes wisdom. Failure and success are irrelevant, taking the shot is what's relevant. The struggle is what matters. Purity.
So much better that Bill Maher making it all about him. It’s a great interview and Neal Brennan knows the hard side of being a comedian. Neal understands the struggle and gets the best out of Jerry. Seinfeld even tells some jokes. Resonance and chemistry
Oh man. This was great, I love Jerry. I love when someone smart interviews him. Who better than you Neal. And Jerry gives you the best compliment. The Brennan Eye!. And he’s so right about the kid thing.
I relate, but I think the such a shame phrase should be parked. It belongs on the porch in 1915 with two old grannies deciding the fate of the hoi poloi in town.
Loved Jerry’s pov on ‘70’s interesting jobs vs ‘80’s money making jobs, how today we all’re still in that. Neat tidbit bit about moneyed successful men in NYC going for family life vs. LA staying single. Also, getting real life feedback from experience to know what to take away to be more you; sculpting is taking away with skill ⭐️👍🏻
Try the Jewel on Joe Rogan interview. She’s an amazing individual and human being. Her mom stiffed her out of millions, she was homeless, she rewired her brain to kill her klepto tendencies (through writing exercises and now she’s working to develop that system into a curriculum for kids).

He did a Q&A and everyone kept asking questions about there being another episode. You could tell it bugged him, but he kept it classy. What a legend.
Thank you for this podcast Neal. Goddam. Nothing out there really penetrates the artist/human condition this deeply and I’m so grateful for it. Every word is rich.
Jerry Seinfeld absolutely ✨killed it✨ at the Hollywood Bowl last night! I hace never been in so much physical pain from laughing so hard & for so long. I was not expecting him to be so good. He’s the true 🐐
It's not a mystery why Jerry reminds Neal of the 1950s as it is popularly perceived; Jerry is a straightforward guy. He works hard, and the things that he wants actually make him happy. This is a very fortunate trait -- if you're lucky enough to get the things you want in life, you better hope that those things make you happy. Porsche GOOD. Superman GOOD. Laugh GOOD. People always romanticize the past, and the 1950s is no exception. But there was a genuine sense of satisfaction; the Allies had won a world war and survived an existential threat. Americans had earned the right to enjoy their lives and they didn't question that privilege until the turmoil of the 1960s. Jerry's work ethic and ability to enjoy his success echo that period. Incidentally, a large part of Jerry's comedy DNA is rooted in irritation, in my view stemming from his frustration at others for making life more complicated than he deems necessary. He views much of humanity like a starving person refusing to eat the meal laid before them. [Seinfeld voice] EAT! EAT THE FOOD!
@@AnonYmous-mi1klboomer-coded? I’m a millennial and I love Seinfeld. Pretty sure I’m not the only one, and also pretty sure the boomers still exist and still like comedy
incredible episode. I''m just mesmerized by the exchange of discussion between Jerry and Neal. Neal did a really great job in creating the right questions and Jerry for his openness to discussing and answering the questions.
@pario - " spiritual practices like meditation and yoga are Hinduism. " Not quite . Hinduism comes from the Vedas . Yoga as we know it today is derived from Patanjalis Yoga sutras which was a subjective cognition of the vedas. prior to the written Vedas the knowledge of transcendence was passed down via recitation . Hinduism came after the Vedas and is more concerned with relative specifics as gods and deities while the Vedas is more about Mokasa or liberation . hinduism is more about practice and worship while the Vedas focuses on that which is awake to itself . apologies for butting in . 🙏
@@siriosstar4789 yoga as we know it today doesn’t mean it’s what yoga IS, which is a watered down version of the essense of yoga. It’s more than asanas, and goes beyond patanjali. Stop trying to cope and take away from our religion. Yoga is mentioned in the Gita and other texts and is undisputedly part of Hinduism.
in a lot of interviews, seinfeld appears to tolerate those that interview him here however- we see more of him bc it intuitively reads like he genuinely loves talking to Brennan - and as a result - we see a different side/synergy - a more connected one soooo lovely to see this. thank you truly.
I think it’s because he’s talking to another comic who he respects - and not an interviewer trying to “be funny”. I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen him have to deal with that. And his WTF episode had a bit of a weird energy for some reason (Marc?). That’s gone here
I saw Jerry live years after Seinfeld ended and after I'd seen Comedian and thought I knew enough about him to see his material coming. I'm here to say it was nevertheless the hardest I've laughed continuously at a comedy show. He's just that good.
Jerry Seinfeld is the same person he was probably 50 years ago. All of his success and money never really changed him. And that is what makes him a famous/successful person that is relatable . He clearly appreciates all he has. Perfect timing for every part of his life. Fantastic interview.
The paradox is great - Seinfeld is a life coach/therapist extraordinaire but he’d have to use a pseudonym if he wrote anything! Seriously some of the best stuff ever - and the beauty is he’s not “selling” it.
You _still_ think presidents actually have enough power to make that kind of change? 😂 Reagan wasn’t even on planet earth for a huge chunk of his term. He was the original Biden. Presidents are just puppets. To blame the cultural shift of an entire decade on an Alzheimer’s riddled puppet is childishly naive.
My favorite seinfeld joke is in his Obama interview; before they start, he sits in the oval office, takes a bite of an apple, and then ask if it's washed. 😂
This is such a masterclass. So many good notes so far. :: Components of Stand up: Idea Face Voice Body Meditate before your spots/ Shows. I instantly feel safe when I hear Jerry Speak. I love what he had to say about dissociation and finding a friend group in that and falling in love with TV. I never understood the show when I was a kid, but I watched it nearly every night. I love this man. ( Also Neal WOOO WOO Looking professorial awoooogah! )
great stuff, no one else has ever gone to such depth about the dynamics of Jerry and Larry's working relationship and how it evolved over the years. Thanks for this!
Great show Neal, you interviewed brilliantly with Jerry and made this very rare occurence count big time. Loved Crazy Good man, will check Unfrosted out this week.
Came here from the podcast Ami’s House and this was a GREAT interview! Judging by this interview (the first one I watched) Brennan is more skilled than Larry King or anyone else I can think of. This was a GREAT interview and I was not previously a fan of Seinfeld. This interview literally made me a fan and I’ll watch Seinfeld again with new eyes. 💯 Thank you for this!
I remember when my parents bought a new TV. They put the "old" one in the basement. I was sad for weeks. I would go downstairs and sit with the TV (not even on), and lament its passing. Nice to know Jerry went to see Andy in the city. Warms my heart. Also, didn't know Lenny was from Lon-Gisland.
If Seinfeld is going to be doing the podcast circuit to promote his movie it's going to be very entertaining where he ends up. Like on Your Mom's House watching Tom's torture porn or answering questions from Theo Von about if Jerry has ever eaten a possum casserole lol
This was the best interview I’ve seen in a long time. One of the greatest aspects of how Neal interviews is his distance from his and his guest’s fame-he’s not interested in dick-riding. I think I realized where his zombie-like tone actually fits, and I love it.
Great interview Neal. The line “I’m glad you’re alive while I’m alive” was a really nice thing to say.
How I feel about all my favorite comedians Neal included ❤
Agreed, it was a very sweet interview, like Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman...setting a new and better paradigm for male interaction.

Neil Brennan definitely did it on purpose... Not sure Seinfeld even knows who Schulz is even tho they met before

yes, but the bigger issue becomes- why does the interviewer consistently misunderstand the context given to him. And FAR too many interruptions.
He’s asking real non-scripted questions and just bantering back-and-forth. It’s not a talkshow. This is what reality TV actually is. Well almost. 😅
“Are you a face practicer?” is a good premise for a new seinfeld episode
quite possibly the best Jerry Seinfeld interview ever
Jerry is always happy to talk to his comedian friends, and is always nice to listen to in that context. Jerry just seems to absolutely despise talking to anyone else , he comes off so cantankerous when talking to anyone other than his comic buddies.

Holy shit! I can't believe you got Jerry! I can tell you were exited because you cracked 10% of a smile in the opening. Congratulations and thanks.
*Excited dummy
I like that Jerry is opening up more and being a person.
*'You cut through!'* in Jerry's voice was perfect.
So refreshing! Thanks Neil💕 Jerry was a delight.
That waiting for an Uber bit is hilarious 😂
Thank you for this podcast Neal. Goddam. Nothing out there really penetrates the artist/human condition this deeply and I’m so grateful for it. Every word is rich.
It's kinda weird seeing Neal on the right.
It's in Jerry's contract to be on the left.
They almost made it an aerial shot

I've really come to appreciate what a genius JS is over the last 10 years or so. Great show.
“But it was all the satisfaction, of the thing that you and Larry had imagined ” - brilliant observation Neal
Jerry’s profound and Zen-like insights are instructive to all no matter their profession or station in life.
Getting Blocks out of him seemed like getting blood from a stone 😂
Jerry is the same era/type as Jay Leno, whom he got nothing out of either.
More a type than an era I think, Letterman seemed to do great!
This might be the most interesting and thoughtful interview with Seinfeld ever. It's quite possible that you did not have the ear to notice it.
He may just be a pretty stable guy. Unusual for a comedian.

Jerry Seinfeld absolutely ✨killed it✨ at the Hollywood Bowl last night! I hace never been in so much physical pain from laughing so hard & for so long. I was not expecting him to be so good. He’s the true 🐐
It's not a mystery why Jerry reminds Neal of the 1950s as it is popularly perceived; Jerry is a straightforward guy. He works hard, and the things that he wants actually make him happy. This is a very fortunate trait -- if you're lucky enough to get the things you want in life, you better hope that those things make you happy. Porsche GOOD. Superman GOOD. Laugh GOOD.
People always romanticize the past, and the 1950s is no exception. But there was a genuine sense of satisfaction; the Allies had won a world war and survived an existential threat. Americans had earned the right to enjoy their lives and they didn't question that privilege until the turmoil of the 1960s. Jerry's work ethic and ability to enjoy his success echo that period.
Incidentally, a large part of Jerry's comedy DNA is rooted in irritation, in my view stemming from his frustration at others for making life more complicated than he deems necessary. He views much of humanity like a starving person refusing to eat the meal laid before them. [Seinfeld voice] EAT! EAT THE FOOD!
Save some words for the rest of the internet.
Great insight imo
His comedy is also extremely dated and boomer coded, which is cool if that's your thing I guess
@@AnonYmous-mi1klboomer-coded? I’m a millennial and I love Seinfeld. Pretty sure I’m not the only one, and also pretty sure the boomers still exist and still like comedy
@guyjerry like I said, nothing wrong with it if it's what you're into. Just stating my opinion.
Having the audience be your feedback for if your work is good or not would be gut wrenching for me. sheesh. These guys have balls of steel.
Yeah they do. It seems like a veritable blood sport 🩸, trying to make a room full of often intoxicated, complete strangers laugh at your jokes.
Neal just keeps getting better. I really look forward to these podcasts.
I didn't even mind the commercials. His delivery is just so relaxed, intelligent, and funny.
incredible episode. I''m just mesmerized by the exchange of discussion between Jerry and Neal. Neal did a really great job in creating the right questions and Jerry for his openness to discussing and answering the questions.
Yes, spiritual practices like meditation and yoga are Hinduism! I knew I loved Jerry Seinfeld.
@pario - " spiritual practices like
meditation and yoga are Hinduism. "
Not quite . Hinduism comes from the Vedas . Yoga as we know it today is derived from Patanjalis Yoga sutras which was a subjective cognition of the vedas.
prior to the written Vedas the knowledge of transcendence was passed down via recitation .
Hinduism came after the Vedas and is more concerned with relative specifics as gods and deities while the Vedas is more about Mokasa or liberation . hinduism is more about practice and worship while the Vedas focuses on that which is awake to itself .
apologies for butting in . 🙏
@@siriosstar4789 yoga as we know it today doesn’t mean it’s what yoga IS, which is a watered down version of the essense of yoga. It’s more than asanas, and goes beyond patanjali. Stop trying to cope and take away from our religion. Yoga is mentioned in the Gita and other texts and is undisputedly part of Hinduism.
agreed
It's very cool to hear/see the reverence and deference Jerry gives to Larry re: credit for being the genius behind the scenes.
Dude a comedy history lesson this is my shit 🤯
Man Jerry is everywhere lately promoting this thing. Kudos for him. This is how you promote a comedy movie.
What a legendary episode, I could watch this episode on loop. Saving and downloading for sure!!
I've never heard Jerry talk like this before about family. I love it! Beautiful energy.
These guys are perfect together!
Neil, this is the greatest interview of Jerry I think Ive ever seen. Thank you
in a lot of interviews,
seinfeld appears to tolerate those that interview him
here however- we see more of him bc it intuitively reads like he genuinely loves talking to Brennan - and as a result - we see a different side/synergy - a more connected one
soooo lovely to see this.
thank you truly.
I think it’s because he’s talking to another comic who he respects - and not an interviewer trying to “be funny”. I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen him have to deal with that. And his WTF episode had a bit of a weird energy for some reason (Marc?). That’s gone here
Marc is not a easy going guy..
I saw Jerry live years after Seinfeld ended and after I'd seen Comedian and thought I knew enough about him to see his material coming. I'm here to say it was nevertheless the hardest I've laughed continuously at a comedy show. He's just that good.
Jesus Christ this was amazing to hear. Pearls for life.
Jerry Seinfeld is the same person he was probably 50 years ago. All of his success and money never really changed him. And that is what makes him a famous/successful person that is relatable . He clearly appreciates all he has. Perfect timing for every part of his life. Fantastic interview.
His success and money never changed him? There's scads of evidence to the contrary. And why wouldn't it.
If it weren’t for Larry David, Seinfeld would be a Vegas Lounge Act at Best…
The paradox is great - Seinfeld is a life coach/therapist extraordinaire but he’d have to use a pseudonym if he wrote anything! Seriously some of the best stuff ever - and the beauty is he’s not “selling” it.
He looks so good for being born in '54.
"money is the best lotion" - Chris Rock
Dammn I always thought he was 10 years younger than that and he looks 20 years younger
Yes being rich helps but doesnt change the fact
@@khalbrucie I think for jerry its more like "do what you love and you will never work a day in your life"
70 years old…pretty incredible. It’s not just how he looks; his energy just seems young too. Have to rethink what older age really means.
Jerry is very clear-headed about himself, others, his craft, the place of an entertainer in society. It's refreshing to see.
"how did money become everything? It wasn't everything in the 70s." I think Jerry forgot someone very particular in '81-'89.
What happened during that time?
@@issemayhem Off the gold standard?
You _still_ think presidents actually have enough power to make that kind of change? 😂 Reagan wasn’t even on planet earth for a huge chunk of his term. He was the original Biden.
Presidents are just puppets. To blame the cultural shift of an entire decade on an Alzheimer’s riddled puppet is childishly naive.
It had something to do with a thing, that was a helluva drug... cocaine!!!

My favorite seinfeld joke is in his Obama interview; before they start, he sits in the oval office, takes a bite of an apple, and then ask if it's washed. 😂
or when Obama tells his security ahead of time to not attack him lmao
what's funny about that?
I hated that episode of comedians in cars- Obama is not a comedian!!
"Not that there's anything wrong with that"
Not too funny
This is such a masterclass. So many good notes so far. ::

I instantly feel safe when I hear Jerry Speak. I love what he had to say about dissociation and finding a friend group in that and falling in love with TV. I never understood the show when I was a kid, but I watched it nearly every night.
I love this man.
( Also Neal WOOO WOO Looking professorial awoooogah! )
great stuff, no one else has ever gone to such depth about the dynamics of Jerry and Larry's working relationship and how it evolved over the years. Thanks for this!
Great show Neal, you interviewed brilliantly with Jerry and made this very rare occurence count big time. Loved Crazy Good man, will check Unfrosted out this week.
Came here from the podcast Ami’s House and this was a GREAT interview! Judging by this interview (the first one I watched) Brennan is more skilled than Larry King or anyone else I can think of. This was a GREAT interview and I was not previously a fan of Seinfeld. This interview literally made me a fan and I’ll watch Seinfeld again with new eyes. 💯 Thank you for this!
Seinfeld, a legend, being in Shulz's studio is so weird to me, feels like a glitch
I remember when my parents bought a new TV. They put the "old" one in the basement. I was sad for weeks. I would go downstairs and sit with the TV (not even on), and lament its passing. Nice to know Jerry went to see Andy in the city. Warms my heart. Also, didn't know Lenny was from Lon-Gisland.
Whaaat's the deeeal with mental blocks?
How did theessee legos get in my brain?
Oh, my gosh! I love this! "The audience is 3,000 times your size and they're picking you up and taking you through it" Excellent!!!
Get Larry on.
This is the best Seinfeld interview, hands down.
If Seinfeld is going to be doing the podcast circuit to promote his movie it's going to be very entertaining where he ends up. Like on Your Mom's House watching Tom's torture porn or answering questions from Theo Von about if Jerry has ever eaten a possum casserole lol
😂. I don't think anyone could pay him enough to be on YMH but I would enjoy his reaction to ball cupping guy.
@@voice_of_a_little_lady I'd love to see Jerry's reaction to Fedsmoker or a "best of" collection of Christiana's TikToks lol
Watching him watch RPC would be really something
I highly doubt Jerry is about to do a podcast circuit. Seems like that stuff is below him or he probably doesn’t care enough
Thats true, it seems hes comming out of seclusion for a short time. The Rogan will be epic
Outstanding interview Neal. Best interview ive seen with any former Seinfeld cast member. Previously it was one with Jason Alexander
The 🐐 of all 🐐s
This was the best interview I’ve seen in a long time. One of the greatest aspects of how Neal interviews is his distance from his and his guest’s fame-he’s not interested in dick-riding. I think I realized where his zombie-like tone actually fits, and I love it.
this is a fantastic interview
Love the media circuit Jerry is on. Gets us plenty of his stories!
