he's not underrated. he's a legend amongst comics. he's just from that generation of new york comics who didn't come into prominence during the age of podcasts, so newer fans of comedy don't know him as well. he's one of my favorites too
I was hoping all week for a Thanksgiving Blocks ep and you delivered, Neal! Thankful while I make mediocre side dishes for my barely tolerated relatives!
The Roast of Todd Barry's Storage Units Todd sits on a throne and they empty each of them, comedian friends savagely mocking his tastes and very relatable desire to hold onto things
Today im thankful to you Neal. You’ve bought a new format of podcasting content to my life and lit a fire under my ass to get my shit in gear. I aim to become someone who can interact with, question, poke, tease and ultimately bring out the best and most authentic version of a guest- just like you do. I have lofty ambitions and grandiose goals. I put it to myself, by this time next year, you and I will have had some sort of correspondence. Much love- happy thanksgiving- keep being you! 👉😘👌
As a misophonia victim, my kryptonite is vocal fry (you know the type), and people eating the goddamn kettle chips that come with everything at the coffee shop. People eat chips continuously for such a long time without a break. Noise canceling headphones were a big win for me.
I actually don't know the type of vocal fry, because I've seen/heard people with very different voices described that way. That term is definitely used to mean different things.
I loved this. Todd is one my favourite comedians. My sister has filled up her house and our dads with all her stuff. It is extremely stressful to know a hoarder. When my father passes I don’t know how I’m going to get her stuff out of there. I ruminate on it daily. Asking a hoarder to get rid of something is like asking them to remove a limb. Like bodybuilding, it’s a highly visible mental illness.
To get the Marriott points when the production company's card is on the room, just put your card down for incidentals and buy at least one small thing (even just a candy bar), and it will credit your account with all the nights. Some will tell you different, but I work on productions, and this has worked consistently for me for years. Dealing with travel challenges is one of my blocks. Great podcast!
Todd Barry is always riveting, because of the way he thinks and speaks. He could be president of comedy: a notch below Rupert Pupkin, but still powerful.
Omg i completely relate Neal! I’m obsessed with justice too! I’m in a back and forth with Ally Bank over a $250 promo and a terms & conditions technicality 😅
I also have misophonia! It’s the worst & it makes everyday life difficult. Gum snapping is at the top of my list, including all of Todd’s audio assaults. It’s like a panic attack where you have to remove yourself from a sound that makes you think dark thoughts. We’re very good at finding emergency exits. I wouldn’t wish misophonia upon anyone
@@OttophilI’d think misophilia would be the opposite, or love of (human made) sound. I wonder if Todd shared a fraction of his, because I’ve got a list of sounds that piss me off
omg i looked this up a few years ago misophonia the clicking of someones jaw while eating or the scraping of the bottom of your oatmeal bowl would drive me nuts ..great pcast
For years I wondered if I was on the Autism spectrum. I have trouble maintaining eye contact with people I am having conversations with. I tend to look down or away. Staring into people's eyes, creeps me out.
I had a storage unit for 5 years and ultimately I came to the conclusion that with the amount of money I had paid to store the stuff in the unit I could have replaced everything in there twice over.
I'm right there with him on the lightning thing. I live in Tampa Bay, the lightning capital of north America, and I get real freaked out by summer storms. I know three people personally who have been struck by lightning. Well, I *know* two people and I *knew* one person
The storage unit thing is so sad. It's kinda mind boggling that otherwise intelligent people willingly pay a significant amount of money to store things that do not (and never will) enhance their lives in any way.
Was at a house party once, 12 people approximately at a friends place and TWO of the men at the party had been struck by lighting. One of them had been struck twice. I checked the weather to make sure it was safe to stay at the party, seems like a reasonable fear.
Todd should try the smallest dose of vyvanse, in half. vyvanse is like adderall, if adderall is cocaine and vyvanse is coffee. you can take it and sorta forget you took it, and then when you're happy you're finally sorting your kitchen, you think 'oh yeah. nice. i don't feel anything, I'm just doing something productive'
Hoarding is not uncommon in combination with autism spectrum disorder. Just saying. There is research on the connection. Not to mention that comorbidity with ADHD and OCD is VERY high.
Agreed. Him saying he’s not may be passive aggressive. Lol. He did have a telling career me t, “I definitely driven people crazy in the past. “Oh you’re used to people freaking out. I’m going to disappoint you.”’ Not that he needs to yell but it’s a bit manipulative to not engage & stonewall instead.
Todd! Could’ve sworn he was in Fun With Dick and Jane but he’s not credited in IMDb. His bit about telling Jim Carey’s character theres a job available but there is no job and he thought that would be funny to tell him that.. always makes me laugh
Sarah's right: he needs to ditch those CDs. I have a box with the sleeve inserts of all my CDs and DVDs, and I digitized and saved the music and movies on hard drives and my cloud account before selling off all the physical media. I don't even own a CD or DVD player anymore
I was self diagnosed ADHD. Some friends said, "of course you have it." Like Todd, I hoped a pill would help me be with problems like organizing, tidying up, keeping less...... I finally was tested with a psychologist and neurologist and they almost laughed at how far from ADHD I tested. I think he was right with the hard wired comment vs hoarding because of trauma. I know there are a lot of us that fall into this category. Not hoarders, not ADHD, not just imperfect housekeepers, but do need help. I am curious to hear how his test for ADHD turns out.
I was diagnosed with ADHD 2 years ago at 38. Medication changed my life in the most profound ways. I experienced a quiet mind for the first time in my life with my first dose. Never had the slightest idea of what was wrong with me, until I heard another comedian talking about their diagnosis on a podcast. I’m grateful they talked about it or I’d probably still be suffering, or maybe not, as I couldn’t take life anymore.
@@Handle8844 it’s been so long ago I wouldn’t be able to direct you to the podcast. It was both (1) their description of what they were experiencing depression and anxiety, and that it was due to their ADHD (2) a comment in that podcast thread referring to a “book that changed their life” called ADHD 2.0. I read the book which then lead me to seek an official diagnosis.
dude, there's nothing wrong with your storage units. who are you trying to impress? if you're okay with your stuff, then why worry if anyone else is? where did we get this notion that we all have to live in a sterile monochrome dwelling with five shirts & one pair of shoes?
just recycle ! there is an in between 'landfill' and not knowing what to do with stuff.......charity, or recycling....... they do have recycling centres in america right?
Your attempts to empathize about the mouth sounds stuff are admirable but ridiculous. Eating makes noise. All animals, humans included, must eat to live. It IS about his own idiosyncrasies. He’s not “pretending” when he admits it.
Argh! I hate people who wolf their food down,....they are gasping for air between bites, you hear their food sloshing around in their mouths, there are guttural sounds. They eat like its their first meal after being in captivity. Loud gulping,...& chewing,....it makes me sick to my stomach. Ack!
ugh finger licking is repulsive... I'll give a rib or wing eater a pass to a certain point, but my wife showed my son he could lick chip dust off his fingers and I almost lost it

Todd is one of my favorites, underrated comedian!
he's not underrated. he's a legend amongst comics. he's just from that generation of new york comics who didn't come into prominence during the age of podcasts, so newer fans of comedy don't know him as well. he's one of my favorites too
Even his cat thinks he’s overrated 😉
Todd Barry is the best. This one was fun.
love how Neil is really digging Todd. He has such a laid back vibe, really enjoyable
Neil respects his elders, as he should. Todd's one of the last living Greats.
@@dpclerks09 Neal
Todd Barry is hilarious and seems like such a sweet guy. Love him.
love todd! never thought i'd see him be earnest for an hour straight on camera.
This was my exact reaction. I love that he took the assignment seriously. I genuinely expected one long bit.
Todd Barry... Brilliant, Subtle, Funny as Hell!
A true Master of his Craft.
Thankful for this podcast
As a fellow misophonia bro, I knew Todd was a great person.
I literally just learned from this podcast that there is a term for this. Pretty dang sure I have some form of this!
This was really special. Thanks, homies.
my favorite writer in the same room with my favorite stand-up comedian...this must be heaven
neal is the podcast king. champs, hnf and blocks are all 10/10
I'm obsessed that Todd loves a panda chewing, but NEVER a human. AGREED!
I was hoping all week for a Thanksgiving Blocks ep and you delivered, Neal! Thankful while I make mediocre side dishes for my barely tolerated relatives!
Neal, you're a great Historian of North American comedy. You should write a book about it!
I agree!

The "Put Me in Coach" sidebar during the ads made me spit out my ice cream as I chortled. Thank you❤
thanks for the extended end credits song. just made my ringtone a little longer.
He was great on The Larry Sanders Show and Dr. Katz when i was a teen and it still holds up today.
Love y'all thanks for talking 🎉
KEEP THOSE CD's, TODD!!
Re: Todd’s Misophonia. I interviewed him once for a radio station. He made and ate a bowl of cereal through the entire thing 😂
Love ya Mr. Barry❤
That’s so cool. he seems like such a fun guy to be around.
Today im thankful to you Neal.

He should start selling his extra stuff as merch. I’d take a Todd Barry dish rack
That’s a great fkn idea for real
Todd is why I started listening to comedy. Also, the only person I’ve ever asked for a autograph from. Thought I was fucking with him. Lol
Because it's the kind of thing he would do..

Whats the opposite? Chewing sounds are pretty hot to me
Indeed, its annoying, the worst is people with dentures eating anything crunchy.
@@OttophilI’d think misophilia would be the opposite, or love of (human made) sound.
I wonder if Todd shared a fraction of his, because I’ve got a list of sounds that piss me off
Ditto! I praise God that I don't have to ride the bus anymore and have to listen to the black women snapping their effing gum for everyone to hear!!
I’ve been watching Dr Katz over again. Why is Todd Barry in every groundbreaking tv show?
omg i looked this up a few years ago misophonia the clicking of someones jaw while eating or the scraping of the bottom of your oatmeal bowl would drive me nuts ..great pcast
Neal, I wish you would get on meds, for the rumination. Helped me so much
Rumination is overwhelming.
Thanks for just saying it.
"I've looked up rumination... a lot" made me laugh
Thanks for playing more of the outro song. Where can I find this for my playlist?
For years I wondered if I was on the Autism spectrum. I have trouble maintaining eye contact with people I am having conversations with. I tend to look down or away. Staring into people's eyes, creeps me out.
Great episode. Love both these guys work, both great comics.
Haha I like your ode to Steven Brody Stevens at the end there. cheers x

A Thanksgiving gift!

If you don't have time to watch the entire episode, all you need to know is the ~12 second clip starting at 1:01:44.

How long do you give Neal until he goes full Lex Luther?
Accept the apologies you’ll never receive. Set yourself free.

Todd Barry and Judah Friedlander are masters of the crowd-work character comic sub-genre
Todd fuckin rules
Neal likes shopping for vacuums but doesn’t have any ocd tendencies? I dunno.. love you Neal and I love this podcast.
Wow I lived at 7 St Marks for a few years .
Todd should try the smallest dose of vyvanse, in half. vyvanse is like adderall, if adderall is cocaine and vyvanse is coffee. you can take it and sorta forget you took it, and then when you're happy you're finally sorting your kitchen, you think 'oh yeah. nice. i don't feel anything, I'm just doing something productive'
I feel that way on Adderall, actually.
I’m hoping for a bongo solo.
the fact that only half of the people that see this will understand it is heartbreaking
Well, far as I can tell it’s just you and me, and I’m clueless. So you nailed it!

Fxck yes! Love Todd so much
Neil started out so awkward, this is hilarious 😂
Todd Barry is the Colin Robinson of comedy
Was kinda looking for this comment thank you😂
Todd Barry speaks to people? He always just stares at me shaking his head in disappointment.
Hundreds of people a year in the US are struck by lightning, about 20 are killed.
I could really imagine Todd being passive aggressive. It surprises me that he's not.
Agreed. Him saying he’s not may be passive aggressive. Lol. He did have a telling career me t, “I definitely driven people crazy in the past. “Oh you’re used to people freaking out. I’m going to disappoint you.”’ Not that he needs to yell but it’s a bit manipulative to not engage & stonewall instead.
My grandmother was afraid of electrical storms. Preferred to be in a windowless room during a storm.

Please start a Marriott podcast!

I love a good vacuum.
This shit put me in mind of Patrice's reaction to Fight Club. The Holy Grail of something white. Holy fucking luxury problems Batman

Needs sound cancel ear pods.😅
He sounds exactly the same way as he did on dr katz.

I hate the feel of fabrics that are like a fake suede. I can't stand touching them. And all wool men's trousers and sport coats,....make me itch.

It’s a waste of money, but other than that, sure, have all the units you want.
Seems every damn food commercial dubs in the sound you would hear if there was a mic in their mouths, drives me nuts.
