"I ADHD myself out of the sadness." Man, I love Sal. I found a lot of what he said really relatable regarding my own self and ways of thinking. this video was great.
First time listening to this podcast. Neals a great host, great listener, and his chill demeanor and being funny without trying to hard. He's a natural, perfect podcast host. Time to binge and catch up.
I love Sal! I’m glad he’s getting more exposure as a comedian. I watched his stand up about 4 months ago, and he’s really good! And the theater was PACKED!!!
This is the first time this podcast has made sense. Despite my love of Neal, when guests are hesitant to get into their problems, or just get into them with a "yeah I hate ___, idk, it's weird" it can be a tough listen.
Oh man, what a great episode! And as much as Sal says he's fucked up, he's definitely one of my favorite people even though I've never met him. He has given me so much inspiration and laughter in my life, thanks Sal, you are a blessing to us all!

You two have great chemistry, and I love this conversation. Somehow a boatload of neurosis has yielded a fun, relaxed conversation. I love when people (especially performers) drop the act and share vulnerable insight. Most grown-ass men can't do this, and that's why Trump. Thanks for sharing your genuine selves.
Holy shit I’m only 30 min in and I’m thoroughly fascinated with everything Sal is saying. Happy to see this is a part 1… of, I’m guessing, 50. Two weeks off at Christmas.
I get songs and tunes stuck in my head too. It can go on for months. If it’s a dramatic or sad song, it really effects my mood. I thought I was the only one. Thank you for sharing.
Sal’s 9/11 experience makes me think of my younger brother. He was at the Garlic Festival with his now ex girlfriend when the shooting happened. They made it home🙏🏽. I just couldn’t even imagine. And also experiencing a piece of history.
I discovered Sal Vulcano recently through his latest special. Absolutely loved it! Then I watched this episode of Blocks, and I can honestly say I have a lot in common with this man! 😁
Sal, I've been humming the same thing for over 3 years. It's a mix between the closing credits of a few 80s sitcoms, but for the production companies, not the specific shows. I have such horrible OCD behaviors at 43 that it's definitely kept people away. I've been fixated on my parents deaths since I had a nightmare at 3 years old that someone broke in and murdered my entire family. I was spared because I was completely covered by my blanket, therefore I had a cloak of invisibility. My dad is 76 and my mother just turned 73. I've been a wreck about them passing for 40 years! I rearrange the dishwasher after it's full, color categorize other people's things, alphabetize every VHS, CD & DVD I come across. Even at thrift stores.
Me, and ADHD girlie, vibing with how relatable this all is. Neal & all the comments: "Wow so many blocks. He's crazier than Bert." Great reminder of how far I am from normal 😅
Love Sal, he seems such a genuine, kind soul. Thanks for sharing, although I am a bit concerned at how much I can relate to it. I didn’t realise I had so many of the same issues! 😮
Sal thanks for making me feel less crazy…and also the same amount of crazy…but acceptive of it 😂 Neil thanks for making this podcast ⚡️💛 love from Queens, 🗽🗽🗽
We had an indoor-outdoor cat. We used to live in a two story house and my dad slept with the window open one night…our cat brought in a tan bunny. We named it and have had it until last April. He passed around his birthday.
I get a lot... A LOT of this. Especially the looping of songs. It could just be from working in music for so many years or a combination of that and my mental makeup. Like for example, I've had the song for this podcast stuck in my head all week. So yeah. Thanks EG. lol
2 of my favourite podcastpeople/comics in my head i made the scenario up that you guys said to eachother: i really really like you! what? i wanted to say the same exact thing to you, love your vibe, you are my fav podcast guest….and now you guys are bffffs forever
I have the same “pointy issues.” I was hit between the eyes with a hard covered book and cracked my head open when I was 4. This is a shared and common experience.
I love this podcast and this one was definitely one of my favorites! It makes me feel a mixture of both connection when I hear someone else experiences life similarly and also I feel a bit of sadness because it can be exhausting too ❤

I used to work with a guy who always said that “city people” don’t care about nature and that they litter. That guy would constantly litter. Especially in the city.
I also play the ADHD slot machine to escape negative thoughts when I can, but I don’t think I have a winning machine…. I guess it’s time to spin again 🎰 What? Chickens with shoes? Why would someone do this? It’s so cruel… They can’t even move because the shoes are human sized shoes and these are chicken sized chickens. They are just held in place by massive weights attached to their feet… Wait, where is the farmer? Oh god is this how he holds them still for slaughter? It’s so cruel to give them a feel for humanity just before cutting them down… Oh no wait, they were just posing with the shoes. We’re all good. 👍
Sal, funny you should mention the whole pointy object OCD thing. I have a similar issue only not so bad. Wherever I sleep if the pointy edge of an end table, dresser, etc is facing me when I lay down to sleep, I have to cover it with a towel or turn so it's not facing me. Somehow I feel like the point is heading straight for my eye. We both need therapy...lol
Neal's diagnosis of Sal is that he's a good boy😂
I agree that was hilarious…..what else can you tell a nutcase like Sal, ha ha?
Glad to hear Sal's finally putting out a special. Dudes gotta have hours of special worthy material at this point
Ohhh this might be the secret him and Joey Roses been hinting at on Taste Buds 😱😱😱
So hyped for october
@@UrbanLegend2k11 that's what I've thought
I bet Sal could have a 10 part series of his blocks.
Everyone strives to be on the level Michael Thompson. Great comment Mikey. Such insight and levity mixed with high brow humor. Man, you’re great.
@@cavemanvi cheers dits
He could probably get about 3 mics Worth.
@@wakenow1well done sir 😄
This podcast makes me feel like being more open with people.
With Sal I would not be surprised if this turns out to be a 5 part series. 😂
Here’s hoping!
surprised if this turn
"I ADHD myself out of the sadness." Man, I love Sal. I found a lot of what he said really relatable regarding my own self and ways of thinking. this video was great.
I love how crazy some of these blocks are and how Sal is so matter of factly about them. There are still some real ones out there, I appreciate it
Sal is one of the best and most kind people around! What a very touching and honest guy. I really feel very inspired by this conversation! Well done!
I’m in love with him. As are many but man, I just love his openness, kindness, silliness, love of his family and empathy!
I really feel very inspired by this conversation! Well done!
Oh man. Never related more to a Blocks guest than Sal. Thanks to both of you for making this happen. ❤
I love you so much, Sal. Please never change. The world needs more sensitive, caring people like you.
Sal is awesome! Can’t wait for next week. Hearing his stuff makes me feel less alone about my stuff. 😊
Neal is better than every therapist I’ve seen.
The most interesting one yet, also so relatable in the weirdest ways
16:05 is Sal's personal version of "Big Mac - Filet-O-Fish, Quarter-Pounder - French Fries, Icy Coke - Thick Shake, SundaAaaaes and Apple Pie"
I've always felt like I liked Sal but didn't understand something about him. Man do I see it now! Good for him for being so honest.

I love Sal! I’m glad he’s getting more exposure as a comedian. I watched his stand up about 4 months ago, and he’s really good! And the theater was PACKED!!!
My only complaint… I wish these interviews were longer. So stoked on this show and look forward to Thursday’s so much. Thanks Neal
Wish this episode was 2-3 hrs
This two part thing is kind of cheap. Just make it as long as the interview lasts. No need to drag it out like that imo
"That and 9/11 are the two weirdest things.."
"Can't believe I did both of them"
😂😂😂
The best podcast episode I've listened to in years. Kudos to Sal for being so open. The human brain is a mysterious thing.
this man has such a hold on me these days he’s so endearing and relatable
This is the first time this podcast has made sense. Despite my love of Neal, when guests are hesitant to get into their problems, or just get into them with a "yeah I hate ___, idk, it's weird" it can be a tough listen.
I love how Neal is so good at talking and also so good at interrupting a story lol
Immediately yes. I knew I needed this episode, but this was a humdinger!
21:47 “I was like Tom cruise in cocktail”
I love when you can tell how old someone is by the references that they use lol
You mean the movie "Bartender"?
Man I love this pod 😊. Makes me feel less weird and alone
I didn't recognize Vulcano's name, but I saw that this was a "pt. 1" and I knew this shit was gonna be good. G'damn. He delivered.
I love Sal! Seems like such a good guy with a big heart. Looking forward to part 2! :)
I was surprised it only said 59 minutes for Sal, then noticed the "Part. 1" haha. This could be a series on its own!
Oh man, what a great episode! And as much as Sal says he's fucked up, he's definitely one of my favorite people even though I've never met him. He has given me so much inspiration and laughter in my life, thanks Sal, you are a blessing to us all!

I'm not going to lie neals comparison to 9/11 and Grandpa Simpson killed me
This is the one I’ve been waiting for
Maybe my new favorite episode now.
By the way: what a f'ing great podcast! Thx so much!

Great episode, great guest, can't wait for p2.
Thanks for this pod. Nice to hear other talking about same problem. Glad you guys have talent that helps.
Every single one of these are the best podcast, every single time👍😂👍
Please have Sal on more often!!! Great episode. Thank You❤
I feel the same for ADHD. Have the same problems and situations. And wow, that cliffhanger, I thought I was the only one who thought like that.
Yes! I can't believe he watches the news 😂😢
Sal, you seem more sane than 99.9% of people I've met.
I didn't know looping was a thing! I have experienced that many times in my life. It usually lasts a week.
Perfect guest for the show! Excited for next week.
Sal laughing as soon as Neal says “Hey everybody” is already a block lol
n as Neal says “Hey everybody” is already a block lol
Holy shit I’m only 30 min in and I’m thoroughly fascinated with everything Sal is saying. Happy to see this is a part 1… of, I’m guessing, 50. Two weeks off at Christmas.
I love that people working at companies that have hired Neal to direct projects are seeing the ads in these.
"Are you *sure* this is the right Neal?"
I get songs and tunes stuck in my head too. It can go on for months. If it’s a dramatic or sad song, it really effects my mood. I thought I was the only one. Thank you for sharing.

Great episode as always Neal, love Sal and i think you're probably going to need 5/6 more for him!
So ready for part 2 ❤️
Just saying, Sal was right about the number of people who died on 9/11, but Neal's superior confidence as usual dismayed him.
Indeed, glad someone mentioned it, came to say the same.
This is a great pod, I haven’t watched an episode that wasn’t good yet
I think I have ADHD. Sal is describing my brain like he could see it.

Great reminder of how far I am from normal 😅
Ugh. I have the death fixation too. It's awful. This kookiness was good to hear that I'm not alone.
god dammit, came back to rewatch pt 1 again and I'm identifying with almost all of these blocks -'Crazier than Bert"
Love Sal, he seems such a genuine, kind soul. Thanks for sharing, although I am a bit concerned at how much I can relate to it. I didn’t realise I had so many of the same issues! 😮
Looking forward to Part 2!!!
Man, I really appreciated his honesty though.
Great episode, I love Sal and appreciate this candid discussion! Does anyone know when the next part is coming out?
Awww, I adore Sal. 100% down for this:))
Sal is the man. Great ep.
See you in Bangor Maine on April 27th Sal!💕💕💕
Can't wait for the special!!
this was great. a 2-parter is awesome! "I'm that fucked up"
Sal thanks for making me feel less crazy…and also the same amount of crazy…but acceptive of it 😂 Neil thanks for making this podcast ⚡️💛 love from Queens, 🗽🗽🗽
Sal is great for this podcast.
Great episode-Sal is a grade-A specimen for the pod
Actually love these two together
I can relate to the music loops. The worst is when it happens in the middle of the night and I can't fall back asleep.
Only cure is to change the song for me. So i listen to other stuff
Looking forward to part 2!
Great guest. I got excited when i seen it is Sal
We had an indoor-outdoor cat. We used to live in a two story house and my dad slept with the window open one night…our cat brought in a tan bunny. We named it and have had it until last April. He passed around his birthday.
Love Sal on "Jokers" but Sal and Joey D on "Tastebuds" is perfect. I understand him on such a deep, anxiety-filled level.
Sal on Blocks!? Dope!! The excitement is messing with my LAXTICITY.
Best episode so far!
I always think of Sal when I'm at a restaurant looking at the silverware 😂
I get a lot... A LOT of this. Especially the looping of songs. It could just be from working in music for so many years or a combination of that and my mental makeup. Like for example, I've had the song for this podcast stuck in my head all week. So yeah. Thanks EG. lol
Bring on part two!!

This episode was fantastic
Yes yes yes! Thanks for this! 🥹🌸❤️❤️❤️
I love the intro/outro song. Where the hell can I get the full thing if there is one? 😫
You should read Gabor Matte's writing on ADHD. Or have him on the podcast!
Looping! Thanks fellas, I legit thought it was just too much lsd as a kid.
BRO! Hearing Sal talk about his LISTS!!! I do the same thing. I never felt something to deep EVER
Amazing episode.
When Sal says “Oh! Strong winds” I fell on the floor
I've been waiting for sal on this poddy
Anyone know a timestamp where Sal talks about pillows? Thanks!
It’s in part 2!
43:21 Gold! A master acknowledging skill!
Nice studio, Neal!
Can't believe Bloom Cafe wasn't one of the Blocks.
I have the same “pointy issues.” I was hit between the eyes with a hard covered book and cracked my head open when I was 4. This is a shared and common experience.
"the cat was not a good person" - Sal Vulcano
💀💀💀
I love this podcast and this one was definitely one of my favorites! It makes me feel a mixture of both connection when I hear someone else experiences life similarly and also I feel a bit of sadness because it can be exhausting too ❤

Sal killing it w/ Sean Wotherspoon x Air Max…!
Sals block song should be the opening jingle to the show lol
I’m still wanting a podcast of Sal and Santino talking music!!
Sal, funny you should mention the whole pointy object OCD thing. I have a similar issue only not so bad.
